Toolbar in InDesign disappears, trashing preferences doesn't solve the problem.

Hello, I am using InDesign CS2 on system 10.5.8. I have fixed the missing Toolbar before with the resetting preferences auto and manual solution. For some reason, those fixes are not fixing the problem this time. Any other fixes to try? Thanks.

I think the workspaces Peter referenced were introduced after CS2, but I no longer have it installed to verify.
On an off chance, have you hit the TAB key with nothing selected? THat may have hidden all your panels and toolbars.

edit: or is the Tools option in your Window menu enabled or not?
edit2: or it could be that the workspace command just became more readily accessible with recent versions... ^_~

    It's very likely that your boot drive is failing. Back up all data immediately and schedule a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

  • TS4147 This article creates a loop and doesn't solve the problem!!!

    I have unexpected duplicates in my contacts that happens when I sync with Outlook 2010 and icloud.  This article refers me to another article which says that if that doesn't resolve the problem, which is doesn't click here...which brings me back to this article.  Setting up icloud has made a complete mess of my OUtlook contacts right when I'm trying to do my Christmas Card mailing...
    I'm a fairly competent user and have checked and double checked all my settings but the duplications keep happening and proliferating!!!

    Restore the backup you made prior to Changing Outlooks accounts from local to iCloud.

  • Migrated to ML from OS/X 10.6.8 on an iMAC 24'' (2009). Now system starts up in verbose mode and holds on the root(!) prompt. PRAM reset doesn't solve the problem

    This is really buggy, because anybody could enter the system as "root" after switching on the system.
    A PRAM reset works only for the actual boot; after a cold start the system holds again on root prompt.

    If you've tried everything else there's always the SMC reset:

  • My serial number when entered, says that my iPad2 has been replaced. So my registration is invalid, and so's my applecare. The apple shop can't help, applecare says we only fix things, and tech support only raises cases, but doesn't solve the problem!

    Hi,
    Bought IPad 2 from an authorised reseller in Bangkok, Istudio. Added on an Applecare contract for it. All happily registered to my appleid and confirmation emails got from apple and applecare.
    A month later, I get an email from an apple shop in Canada (never been to that country), telling me that my Ipad cannot be repaired and has been replaced. I raise the issue with Apple Tech Support, they tell me that maybe the person in Canada entered the wrong serial number.
    Now when I check my serial number, it says this Ipad has been replaced, and so obviously that even makes my applecare invalid.
    Went back to the store, went to the service centre and went back to tech support, no joy.
    Any suggestions? on how do I resolve this?
    Thanks

  • Firefox version: 3.6.8 Operating system: Windows XP - back and forward buttons disappers. REsetting customize toolbar to default doen't solve the problem

    I've Firefox version: 3.6.8 , OS: Windows XP - The back and forward buttons disappears. Resetting customize toolbar to default doesn't solve the problem.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Firefox was updated to ver 3.6.8

    In Firefox 3.6 and later on Windows you can hide the menu bar via "View > Toolbars" or via the right click context menu on a toolbar.
    Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the menu bar temporarily.
    Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the menu bar or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).

  • A friend created 3 accounts on his iPhone 5 but forgot the passwords. He can't reset the password as yahoo address is no longer valid. Erasing the phone doesn't solve the issue. How to register the phone with Apple?

    A computer illiterate friend created 3 accounts on his iPhone 5 but forgot the passwords. He can't reset the password as his yahoo address is no longer valid. Erasing the phone doesn't solve the issue as the Apple server identifies the hardware as registered. How to register the phone with Apple?
    I helped him create a new email address and new iCloud account on my Mac but when we try to register the phone with Apple it says: Maximim accounts limit reached for this device. How can he register the phone? I read different threads and found out that only Apple care can do that. We're in Romania and don't know where to call. Any suggestions on how we fix this?

    When I checked the support site for Romania, you apparently don't have an Apple Care contact center.  You "may" try calling the US Apple care number to verify the account and have the password reset sent to a different email address.  800-694-7466

  • Hello, I just got an iPhone 4S and it seems that the bluetooth function in it doesn't work. I tried few times to pair it to other non Apple phones and it never worked. Does anyone has an idea how to solve the problem? Tks.

    Hello, I just got an iPhone 4S and it seems that the bluetooth function in it doesn't work. I tried few times to pair it to other non Apple phones but it never worked. Does anyone has an idea how to solve the problem? Tks.

    This is not a feature of iPhone, iPad or iOS.
    Bluetooth is supported for stereo headsets/speakers, handsfree telephone
    devices/headsets, some keyboards, some peer-to-peer apps from the
    app store and internet tethering where provided by the carrier.
    Other than this it will not connect to a phone/computer/device.  (thanks to ckuan for the wording)

  • TS1398 I have the ipad retina display version - I have a BIG issue with this when out and about that on about 50% of the time will it see my HTC mobile WiFi hotspot - rebooting either, or both devices doesn't cure the problem it drives me MAD!!!!

    I have the ipad retina display version - I have a BIG issue with this when out and about, that only about 50% of the time will it see my HTC mobile WiFi hotspot - rebooting either, or both devices doesn't cure the problem it drives me MAD!!!!
    The HTC hotspot works fine with everything else I connect to it.
    Also - ipad will not connect to my HTC via bluetooth. Again, I can connect to everything else with my HTC other than my ipad.
    I have to say this is my first venture into Apple products and I have always wanted to get away from my windows based laptop to get a MacBook, the problems I have had (flash player etc) & continue to have (as above) are putting me right off swapping over. I HATE technology that doesn't work and my ipad has been hard work!

    I stated my ipad as being an ipad2, but I now think it is a 3??? It was new Jan this year and is the 64gb retina display version.
    I really would like to get to the bottom on this problem wit mobile hotspots as it is sitting on my desk next to me now and I cannot get it to connect to my HTC mobile hotspot!!!! It might be taking a flying lesson soon at this rate!!! Grrrrrrr...........

  • How to solve the problem: ipod doesn't  sort tracks by track number

    After lots of attempts, I think I've found the solution that solves this problem (is it a BUG of the ipod software last update?).
    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
    ===================
    For some albums, ipod seams to be not able to sort songs by track number, no matter how you order the tracks through itunes.
    This problem normally appears in albums that are NOT of the same artist (ex: soundtracks).
    Once you upload on ipod (for ex.) your soundtrack, it can happen, when you browse the ipod in the following way:
    (from the main menu): music -> albums -> <name of the album> -> <tracks list>
    that the tracks list IN THE ipod appears NOT sorted by track number.
    SOLUTION
    ========
    This problem is due to a particular tag, "album artist": try to DELETE what is written in this tag for each song that doesn't appear in the correct order.
    For those that are not aware about itunes:
    1) open itunes when your ipod is connected to the pc
    2) select a song ON THE IPOD that you notice is not in the right position
    3) right click the mouse on it and the select "get info": a popup appears
    4) select the "info" tag on this popup
    5) delete what is written in the text area named "album artist"
    6) click "ok"
    TEST AND REMARK
    ================
    Another suggestion, useful to test the result of this action through itunes.
    It seams that ipod software makes a specific sequence of queries: when you select a specific album on your ipod, first it groups songs by album name (it seams a nonsense, because the songs that belong to the same album have, of course, the same album name), then by "album artist" and only at the end by track number.
    So, if you delete the content of the tag "album artist", automatically ipod should sort all songs by track number.
    Therefore, try to make this test: in itunes, in the ipod section, click on the colum "album" in order to sort your album by album name.
    If the songs appear in the right order (that is, sorted by tracks), your should have solved the problem.
    Hope that this will help the ones who have this problem.

    Hi, welcome to Apple Discusions.
    Is the album marked up as an audiobook by any chance?
