The menu widget doesn't allow me to resize individual buttons!!!

Hi!
Since the latest update to muse, the menu widget just goes nanners!
It does not matter whether I untick 'edit together' and select 'unifor spacing' I still can't seem to resize individual buttons like I used to with muse 5 or 6. Furthermore, the menu widget will start resizing itself like crazy back and forth in any direction even if I slowly drag the vertical size up/down and so on.
What is going on?
I have a client waiting for his website and I can't even use the thing anymore since Jan 22 update (which I just installed today). I'll still work around it as it's not the actual menu I need anyway, just something to overlay over a photoshop bar to link to pages, but it still bothers me a lot that the widget is utterly useless now.
Any ideas?

Hi RimVai!
I repeat, you must build up every button separately and link each button in Hyperlinks to the right Page as you did on video.
Please follow the instructions:
1. At first make only "Home Page".
2. Go to "Master Page".
3. Copy "Home Page" and paste it on "Master Page" by using Paste in Place feature.
4. Drag "Copy Home Page" to the right and you can edit "Copy Home Page" as you want.
5. Add "Copy Home Page" on Plan Mode and change the name of the Page.
6. Link Pages in "Hyperlinks" to the right Pages.

Is it possible to make an animated drop down menu and still use the menu widget?

Hi- I am trying to create a menu bar that is hidden with just a tab exposed to indicate that there is a menu there. Upon rollover, the full menu bar slides down and reveals the menu items. I can't find a way to make it smoothly slide down so I settled for the Photoshop button and just moved the button position in Photoshop to fake it. The problem is now I need to find a way to still use the menu widget along with this. if that can't be done, can I use the Photoshop button and populate the menu there and abandon the menu widget?
Someone suggested using Edge Animate ( why the hell is this a separate software from Muse?) to make the animation. If that's a possibility, can the menu widget be used with the Edge file that's imported? please help me get to where I need to go however it needs to happen! Thanks in advance.
Here's a link to a screenshot of my menu: http://www.groovindj.com/menu.jpg
Here's a site that does pretty much what I'm looking to do... www.bagigia.com

Ok, thanks! I have another way to do what I'm trying to do, I just thought it might be better to do it this way. Obviously I was wrong!
Thanks again!

Using the menu widget, breaking a menu apart to position buttons individually.

I am having a completely blank moment. I'm sure I used to be able to do this in Muse, I just can't remember how.
I want a horizontal menu in my header with a company logo to sit in the middle. So ideally I want three menu buttons on the left, three on the right. Using the Horizontal menu widget, can you break them apart to position them individually? Or in sets of three?
Also if I create 'child' pages how do I create a drop down menu using the menu widget. I did it once, can't remember how.
My memory is not what it used to be.
Thanks

Disable updating of the menu widget when working with Muse file?

First of all thank you Adobe for creating Muse - I really like it a lot!
My question:
when I work on my website with 250+ pages, it strains the performance to make even the slightest changes to the page structure. I work with two Masters each with much the same horisontal menu widget.
Adding, deleting and rearranging pages makes the PC (Windows 7 laptop of some but not awesome power) make a halt and take a deep breathe for some seconds. It really interupts the flow of working.
A crude work around for this is to removing the menu widget in the two masters and put it into a new master page, containing only the copied menu from the two other masters and keeping the rest of the header in place on the original masters to use for aligning on the pages. This way, only one page has to update when working with adding, deleting and rearranging pages.
I have tried to look for a preference to disable updating the Menu widget when working on the page structures and just enable it the update again when the work is done? does it exist? else I would recommend it strongly :-) Since my work around is a bit tricky/risky to use after publishing ;-)
Again, thanks a lot for this nice program. Being a selftought CS (now CCC) user I like the ease of control of the webdesign you can get with Muse (at the dispence of other features of course - if you ever wanted to add some sort of database-lookup feature it would be MUCH appreciated. One workaround is to use iframe and an external search/lookup page, that returns results with links back to parent pages. A bit funny construction though :-) ).

Glad to know you are enjoying Muse.
It can be very processor intensive if you have multiple Master pages with their own All Pages menu widget. Take a look at the following threads and refer to Zak's response.

See if you are able to use just one All Pages menu widget at your site while taking advantage of the hierarchical Master page feature.

We are aware of the performance issues caused by the Menu widget (All pages type) and is something being looked upon by the engineering in one of the upcoming releases.

Can I free transform individual buttons within the menu widget?

When using the menu widget,
1. Is it possible to break individual buttons from their row/column and free transform them?
2. Could I delete an individual button while keeping the other buttons intact and not having to delete the page it was linked to?

Hi
Answering the questions :
1) You can create different menu items for page elements and use as individual buttons with free transform option, you can try using tabbed panel to create menu items.
2) You can if you have created a manual menu. The individual menu item will be deleted without effecting the link.
Thanks,

You're talking about the dock?
To check on that, go to System Preferences > Dock > indicate your preference.
I can get iTunes up, and safari, but i don't know how
Not sure what you mean - if you can "get it up" - does that mean you can launch it? What do you not know?

Ideas for improvements in and additional flexibility for the menu widget

Recently in the Muse help forum, I discussed in great detail some current limitations in the menu widget, along with some detailed suggestions for future features that would both solve these limitations and increase its flexibility. I hope the Muse team will take a moment to read through this discussion and consider these ideas: http://forums.adobe.com/message/6073318#6073318

Hi Chuck,
I just wanted to assure you that we on the development team have followed your thread. We have a long list of improvements we'd like to make to the menu widget. Most of the items you raised were already on our "to do" list. The one item I specifically added from your thread was the observation that it would be helpful to be able to set the alignment for the entire menu bar in order to control the direction the menubar grows/shrinks as top level pages are added/removed in Plan view. (The need for additional alignment/positioning controls for individual menu items and submenus was on the list.)
Thank you for your continued thoughts on how we can improve Muse. If you'd like more insight into upcoming changes, the Muse Private Beta Program is open to any active subscriber who can accept the terms of the Non-disclosure Agreement. You can join via the Help menu in Muse. (The program is currently dormant, as we're between releases, but it will become active again soon.)

Two questions about the menu widget

Hello,
I am making a horizontal menu with the menu widget. I have 2 questions and a picture for you to refer to:
A - When I create the menu widget, I want to add a dropdown sub menu and be able to link it to anything other than a page in the site. How do I do that?
B - There is a page in the menu widget but I don't want it to be in the menu widget because there will be another button on the site that I will use to link to that page. How Do I keep that page from showing up in the menu widget?
Thank you - deaf guy

Michael--
I don't know how to answer your first question, but for your second question, right-click the page when in Plan view, click Menu Options, then click Exclude from Page Menus.

Aligning text the Menu Widget

Menu Widget: Is it possible to align the text centered in the Menu Top-pages and left in the Menu Sub-pages?

There's not a lot of control (any) for where the submenu itself is positioned, but you can align the text within the submenus using text alignment in the Text panel in the menu is set for Uniform Site. If the menu is set for Uniform Spacing you need to get more creative and double click until a submenu item is selected, then use the Spacing panel (unlock the chain icon) to increase the right padding value so the text appears left aligned.

The clock in the menu bar doesn't advance.

It shows the wrong time. When I put the pointer on it and click, it immediately gives the correct time but then it stays at that time until I click again.
For ex. it just showed 7.13 p.m. when it is 10.36 p.m.. (day is correct) I click on it, and it shows 10.36 but it will remain like that, (not go to 10.37 after a minute.)
When I go to System Pref.-->date and time it shows the correct time there, and it advances normally, every second, but not on the the clock in the menu bar.
I already click, weeks ago, the lock to prevent changes but it doesn't matter to the clock on the menu bar.
Can't be the battery: I put a new battery one month ago (not that I had any problems- I had none- but because I had this battery for 8 years and thought it's time to change) it is the correct battery (brand, voltage, etc. and had no problem until now.
I just realized something: if I choose display the clock in the windows it works just fine, when I put it in the menu bar it doesn't. I prefer it to be in the menu bar (less intrusive)

This is the first time of I've heard of this, but I went exploring anyhow. I'm thinking that you may have a preference pane incompatibility. Do you have any third party preferences panes, such as MenuMeters or MouseLocater installed? Huh? Open your system preferences and look at the bottom of the window where it says Other. A pane may have been added that is incompatible with your clock. I don't remember how to disable these, but it may just be that you right click on one of them and remove it. I am not certain as to whether or not you would have to restart at this point. I hope this is of some help at least.

Facebook Zuma Blitz. The NEW Firefox doesn't allow gameplay

Made sure everything is allowed for the game to load. It worked BEFORE I upgraded to the Firefox 8.0. Now it doesn't load completely for game play.

You can uninstall (remove) the Java Console extensions and disable the Java Quick Starter extension, you do not need them to run Java applets.

IMessage on the iPhone 6 doesn't allow me to sign in with my current email

Hey guys,
So here's the problem - I can send and receive texts/iMessages on my iPhone 6. I cannot, however, hook up my macbook pro to the same account to use the messaging service with, as Apple has said would be possible (answer texts on my macbook pro via the Messages app).
I'm trying to add my AppleID/iCloud user account (email and pw are now the same, after all my troubleshooting to make things easier) on my iPhone in Settings->Messages->Send & Receive->Add An Email. All I have that shows up is my phone number, but when I tap "Add An Email," one screen pops up for a split second (picture 1) with my current email address, as if it'll let me log in, and then it immediately disappears- followed by a pop up box which only allows me to log in with my old email address. How do I get the pop up box to either show my current email address or not pop up in the first place, so I can log in? (I don't know how I got the screengrab for picture 1.. it disappears in less than a second.)
Again, I can message/text on my phone perfectly well, but I cannot connect it to my Messages app on my macbook pro, in order to answer people's messages from there. I've tried logging in and out of all the various services and switching the email account back to my old one (which worked for iMessage, but then I couldn't use the App Store with that old email address- so choosing the lesser of two evils, I reverted to my current email address and the problem at hand returned).
Now I've called Apple support and I'm waiting on them to call me back with a security code they may or may not have, which they apparently sent out to some users to let them use iMessage. I'm supposed to somehow use this code to get this all working...if they have the code. Which they, themselves sent me. Which is apparently more secure than a fingerprint.
I'm having my doubts about them, so I'm looking here for help.
Hope you guys could follow that and thanks in advance...

Actually, I was very fortunate to have had this issue resolved. I restarted my computer and tried again and this time, for some reason, Adobe accepted my credentials and allowed me to sign in.

The weather widget doesn't appear in the notification center for ios7

I can't find the basic weather widget which was part of the earlier iOS in the notification center. Has it been removed or do I need to change some settings?

System Preferences/Notifications - check the setup there. Also check the daily reminder in the Reminder application.
Do a backup.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.notificationcenterui.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart the computer and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

How can you turn off the spell checker in Firefox? (The menu option doesn't work.)

There was a solution to this I came across a long time ago, but I don't remember what it was. I want to turn off my spell checker in Firefox. The usual instructions given for doing this are to go into Options->Advanced and de-select "Check my spelling as I type". This doesn't work. Period. And this is a bug that has been around for a long time in Firefox.
What's a way to disable this? I don't like seeing a bunch of red lines under correctly spelled words that just happen to not be in Firefox's default dictionary, and I don't want to have to add things to my dictionary either.

Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
