The yellow minimize button on my firefox has disappeared.

The circle is still there, but it's grey, and doesn't work. The close and maximize buttons are still there and work. This is for a Macbook.

When I open Messages on my Macbook Pro (OSX Mavericks 10.9.3) it opens all gray except the yellow minimize button. It doesn't let me start a new chat or access my preferences because everything is grayed out. How do I fix this?

I saw another chat about this and tried deleting the "com.apple.ichat.plist" file they suggested but it did not do anything. Any other ideas?

Re: Messages Menu Commands Greyed Out
A simple solution...
After much troubleshooting, I have isolated the issue with the greyed out "Messages" app menu. The problem is due to the truetype font Apple Gothic missing which is required for the AppleID login window when you first launch Messages. You can just hit skip when the dialog box comes up, but until you do so the full messages menus are not available. So to fix, just drop AppleGothic.ttf in <bootdrive>/Library/Fonts and Messages 8.x should launch correctly. Apple should have really included this font in <bootdrive>/System/Library/Fonts since it is required for one of their Apps
Many people in the prepress or graphics arts fields will likely run into this issue when they customize fonts.

Yellow "minimize" button disappears. randomly. all apps

I've had this problem for as long as I can remember.
Randomly, the yellow minimize button (between the red and green buttons) on the
top bar of my apps gets grayed out, and no longer works. There's no
pattern to it - it's pretty random, and often happens to
several apps. Have not found a way to get it back, aside from
exiting and restarting the effected app(s).
When the app starts, all 3 buttons are present and working. At some
point, yellow fades to gray, and it's gone.
Sounds like an Aqua bug, but a very long-standing bug.
Very annoying...
Thanks,
/jim

I have had this problem forever as well; all with Leopard. I've never installed WindowShade, but I do run Parallels 3.0 from time to time. I've never correlated this goofy and very annoying behavior with Parallels... The problem seems to creep in and out every day, usually affecting iCal, Mail and Firefox more than anything else (all at different times). I have correlated this with Spaces; the buttons typically come and go with more movement between spaces. Interestingly, if a yellow button disappears, I really don't HAVE to quit it to get the button back; just wait and sometime later after unknown operations it will be back. It always comes back if I quit the app and relaunch, but it will disappear again after a while.

Can't load Netflix - Firefox says something about cookie problem and recommends try again button. ("The page isn't redirecting properly Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete. This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.)" Hit the try again button repeated ly - nothing???

I decided to give Netflix a call about this problem.
On a recording while waiting for a support rep, it said if you're having problems logging in to go to:
http://www.netflix.com/clearcookies
It works for me. Now I have to logon everytime I go to their site though versus it had kept me already logged in before this problem.
I will be using that link to get to their site until they get it fixed.

Yellow minimize button disappears...cant get it back

I'm not sure what provokes it, but for some reason the middle yellow minimize button at the top left disappears from safari windows. I noticed it also happens to the ichat buddy list. Can anyone tell me why this is/how I can fix it? Restarting it fixes it, but only temporarily and I don't want to have to restart it everytime. The red X button and green + buttons are still there and functional.

I do not see how it is going to help. I have the same prob. Any help is appreciated.
In the Displays pane of System Preferences, change
the monitor's bitdepth to thousands of colors, or
millions of colors if it is currently at thousands of
colors; if you have the display control enabled in
the menu bar, you can change it here as well.

Cannot download Calendar from cableone.net???
The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

Does this happen on just one site or does it happen more often? 
First I would delete the contents of the cache and delete all current cookies and try again. If clearing does not help, I would try safe mode. 
Did you try to start Firefox in the Firefox Safe Mode? If it works when in safe mode, then this problem is probably caused by a broken add-on. If the safe mode does not help, that may be an indication that the server is sending some broken headers.

After updating to system 7.2 the library folder in my home folder has disappeared.. anyone know if this is a byproduct of OS7.2

After updating to system 7.2 on my MacAir, the library folder in my home folder has disappeared.. anyone know if this is a byproduct of OS7.2

Not with 10.7.2 but with OSX Lion since it was released.
Apple has hidden the Library folder by default.
In Finder option-click Go in the menubar and it will appear under Home.
Or permanently with this Terminal command: chflags nohidden ~/Library

All of the input I had on my calendar has disappeared. How do I get it back?

Well, it looks like you have an iMac, but if you go to the Apple menu, click About This Mac, then More Info, you'll see a hardware model number at the top. It might look like "iMac3,1". That will help us translate it into a year.
When you say your programs have gone, are you just looking at the dock (the line of apps at the bottom of the screen), or have you also gone to the Applications folder (click the Finder, then Applications) and verified that they've been deleted?
There are two possibilities that I can think of - either your install wiped the hard drive (it's possible to do that, but shouldn't happen by default), or you're logged into a different user account than your normal one. You could try going to System Preferences - Accounts, and check if there are multiple users listed there.

I have just downloaded itunes 10.6 and in the process my "podcast" option under library has disappeared! THe files are still on my laptop. I can also see some of my recorded music in the itunes library but can't play them - there is an exclamation mark next to each track. Basically I can't use itunes - is the only option remove and replace? Thanks in advance

Visibility of the Podcasts section is controlled from within the Edit > Preferences dialog.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
Missing tracks
Typically this can happen because a file or folder is accidentally shunted to the wrong location. iTunes can also get confused if it expects to be talking to an external drive which isn't there. If will often reset the default media folder location and may have trouble finding files in the old folders.
Select one of your tracks that is missing in action. Press CTRL-I to Get Info. Cancel when asked to try to locate the file, then look at the location given on the summary tab. This where iTunes thinks the file ought to be? Now find out where it actually is. Post back the two locations for comparison. I should be able to give you some steps to reconnect everything once I can determine which of the things that might have gone wrong is most likely in your case.
When you get it all working make a backup!

I just installed an update on my iPhone and since then the choice to repeat music, or not, has disappeared and it automatically plays songs and albums on a loop. Anyone know how to make it play an album or song just once?

Basics from the manual are restrt, reset, restore.
Have you tried each of these?

The camera raw button in Adobe Bridge has quit working and all my camera raw files are hidden by a c

The Camera Raw button in my Adobe Bridge has quit working and all my raw files are hidden by a cover that says PEF and has a camera raw icon on it. I can open the files in camera raw if I double click on the file but I want to see the files and be able to use the camera raw button. How can I fix it?

This means you have not the correct ACR plug in to support your PEF files or no ACR plug in installed at all.
In photoshop go to the menu Photoshop / About Plug ins / Camera Raw.
Here should be showing the version number of your ACR plug in (only 1 version should show btw)
Then go to this site and check wether your camera is listed and what minimal version you need to open the files:

The right mouse button on my 8740w has failed (clicks but no result, i.e Cut/Copy/Paste/Delete menu

My right mouse button clicks but no result, i.e Cut/Copy/Paste/Delete menu does not appear.
I think the hardware has failed.
Note the mousepd is not the issue. The right button is the problem
Left button works fine

Same deal with me except the right button has failed twice. You may find that if you push on it past the click with a bit more force it will respond. They swapped the hardware and same thing occurred.
HP should be ashamed that they would put such awful mouse hardware on its flagship product. Whoever designed it should be fired.
If HP had any customer loyalty they would offer a hardware update and offer it to those who are still under warranty.
Suffice to say I will never, ever purchase an HP workstation again.
Good luck.
