The context menu does not work

Hello Everyone,
I have a problem when I try to use the context menu.
Just it does not work using control key and click, for example when I select a folder and I want to apply a color
for the folder the context menu does not work.
Thank you if anyone has an idea of how can I restore the normal function.

MW64, cs6 bridge when I move or copy files the context menu does not retain recent folder destinations after I close the program

W64, cs6 bridge when I move or copy files the context menu does not retain recent folder destinations after I close the program. The context options that show are the ones from original install. The workspace I set up is also gone. I have every explorer box and cleaner checked to save recent. Had to disable nivedia desktop software because of weird display conflict. Have Dell pro support and they cannot fix. Any ideas to help me with this would be appreciated.

Self-solved! I work in column view in Finder so get there in a Finder window with folders and files appearing.
There really is no problem, just select an ITEM in the COLUMN before right-clicking!
The "old" context menu will appear. If you click in the white space in that column (or anywhere in a Finder window) and then place the cursor over a folder or file WITHOUT selecting it and right-click you will bring up the secondary context menu - Open, Copy, Duplicate, View Options and a greyed out Labels option. No "Move to Trash".

The "FIND" feature in the Edit menu does not work. I can't find anything on a webpage

The "FIND" feature in the Edit menu does not work. I cannot search a page. If I am looking for the word "Doctor" and I know it is on the page. All I get after typing the first letter is that the typing box turns red.
This is not fun.

Make sure that <b>[] "Match case"</b> on the Find bar (Ctrl+F) doesn't have a check-mark.

My right click is not working. the context menu does not come up and i can no longer drag files/folders. I have checked the mouse and track pad in system preferences and the correct boxes are all checked (with a support member). Please can you help

My right click is not working and producing the context menu or ability to drag files and folders. I just spoke with a phone support person and we checked that all the mouse/trackpad options for right click were correct and checked.
Please can you help with this.
It has only just happened in the last few days.
Many thanks

You might want to update your profile so that we can see what model iMac you have and what version of OSX you're running.
For this question, it might help to know if you're dealing with a trackpad, Magic Mouse, or something else?
(Until your issue's resolved, you can Control-Left Click to get the right click functionality).

The item Hierarchical Context Menu does not support pre-calculation

Hello,
Trying to download pre-calculated web templates via RepAgent, using the Hierarchical Context Menu feature within the template (populated via control query with Hierarchy) the system returned the following message upon file download:
"The item Hierarchical Context Menu does not support pre-calculation"
As a result the Hierarchical Context Menu is not displayed on the downloaded html-files. Navigation not possible.
Could not find any constraints documented in the online help, at this point.
Question: is there something missing on our setup or is this really out of scope for precalculation with navigation?
Any other experiences on that or shall we open OSS-message?
Best regards,
Markus

Hi,
we have the same problem. Does anybody have any hint or workaround? Is there a solution for this in 3.5 or any upcoming version.
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks,

Right click context menu does not appear only for Java 1.7, AWT TextField

I have been debugging some issues that an application has been having with Java 1.7 versus older versions. A new problem I have encountered is that the right click context menu does not function in any TextField. It works fine when running/compiling it with any previous version of Java. I have tried coding a simple test with a Frame, Panel and TextField to see if it might be something else in the more complex application that was causing it, but the simple test class has the same problem.
I have searched for other people having the same issue, but I have not found anything comparable. This seems like a huge change from one version to the next and I am surprised that I am not finding this mentioned anywhere else. Can someone point me to anything that discusses this issue that I am having? Does 1.7 require I implement my own context menu? I realize AWT is old technology, but this is an old, fairly complex application that doesn't use swing, and that is not going to change at this point.
My simple test:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.*;
class testF3 extends Panel
public static void main(String args[])
    Frame f = new Frame();
    Panel p = new Panel();
    f.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
    f.add("North", p);
    TextField tf1 = new TextField("", 20);
    p.add(tf1);
    Dimension medm = f.getSize();
    medm.height = 100;
    medm.width = 200;
    f.setSize(medm);
    f.setVisible(true);
}

In the past few days since upgrading to 4.0.4, the entire right-click context menu for links is gone and replaced with one item: "Copy Link" The "Open In New Tab" item, along with some other context items, is no longer there.
That's actually a problem with your particular installation of Safari, b. I've got all the contextual menu entries with my 4.0.4.
I helped fix one of these recently here at the forum. Try the procedure from the following post (it got back Tho's missing contextual menu entries):

Since I installed Lion on my macbook the LED light does not pulse when I close the screen - the sleep function does not work.

Since I installed Lion on my macbook the LED light does not pulse when I close the screen - the sleep function does not work neither when chosen after pressing the button nor chosen in the apple menu..

I have had the same problem but on another forum it was suggested that disabling internet sharing would solve this. This fix seems to work on my machine - why it works I do not understand

Acrobat Pro "save as" function in the file menu does not show the current directory of the file

I have installed CC but Acrobat Pro gives me headaches.
The "save as" function in the file menu does not show the current directory of the file but something I have worked on in the past.
It forces me to navigates through my hard disk for this very straightforward thing in normal conditions. I precise: Acrobat is the only software reacting like that.
I use Windows7 professional 64bits.

I use what seems to be the latest version available on the Cloud:
To illustrate my point, I open a directory with explorer and double-click on the only PDF in there:
So here it is, open:
When I do a "Save as", it takes me to a totally different place on the disk!
Very annoying...
Thanks for your time!

Ok, the project panel does not work anymore!!!!

I'm using flash cs5.5 and today I opened my project to start working... just to find out that the project panel does not work. When I click the tab to expand it, flash hangs for a minute and then it works, but the panel is blank, empty. The odd thing, I saved the project as CS5 version to open it in the CS5 Flash, but CS5 it's broken too.
I tried opening Flash (both versions) without loading any project and the tab does not work either.
Anyone has an idea on this?
Thanks!

Ok, I think I get what the problem is... When I make right click over the PROJECT panel, it displays the flash player popup menu, so I guess it's made with flash/air. What I think is that my flash player is somehow screwed, so it don't displays the project panel contents and won't let me export my FLA files correctly. And it happens in both CS5 and CS5.5 versions.
Maybe a clean reinstall of both should solve the issue... I reinstalled the CS5.5 two times, and didn't solve the problem, neither uninstalling/installing the flash player plugin for all browsers.
kglad:
I only see the tab, when I try to display the panel contents, FLASH hangs like for a minute, then it responds but the panel is blank... no menus, options, nothing.

Desktop software links and menu does not work

Hi,
i have a blackberry bold 9000 and installed the latest desktop software 4.6 from the blackberry website.
my device manager says connected. but if i start desktop manager, i don't see the main header menu (there is just nothing, where the text menu should be) and the icons in the main window does not work as links. there is no connection to anything.
i have uninstalled all blackberry software and installed it new. i have installed several runtime environments manually, including java and c++. but that makes no difference at all.
what could be the problem? what runtime is necessary and should working correctly for blackberry desktop manager software? do i need some tweaks in internet explorer security settings (active scripting or something like that) ?
best regards!

Hi! The "chapter" menu does not appear when I open a book in itunes. How can I make it appear? In fact, one time it did appear, but it seems to have been more of an incident.

Books are meant to be read on your Devices through iBook App and will not work on iTunes.

The main menu does not show in explorer/PC!!

I have a problem that i hope somebody can solve. When i am publishing my site from iWeb directly to me.com the website is working fine. If i export the website and then preview it in explorer on PC the main menu does not appear for some reason. I would be greatful if somebody could give me an explination on what is wrong? Please!

Where are you "exporting" your site to?
The iWeb navigation menu will not show on a PC running IE if Java is turned off.
You can get round this by "hiding" the standard navigation using the "page" inspector and building your own.

Pull down menu does not work.

Hi.
I'm using Firefox 24.0 under LinuxMint 14.
Sometimes, pull down menu does not work correctly.
When I tap File or Edi or View, Menu blinks instantly.
To resolve, I restart Firefox.
I disabled "Use hardware acceleration when available".

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
