Tools menu is missing items I am expecting after I install extensions and other oddities

In the process of installing and customizing Firefox 3..6.4 on a new laptop, I noticed that when I expand the Tools menu, I do not see items for a number of the extensions I installed, which I see in Firefox on my old system.
For example, I installed the "PDF Download" extension and did not see a selection for "PDF Download - Options" in the Tools menu. I installed quite a number of extensions and in summary, the Tools Menu never changed one bit.
A different example. After I installed the Launchy extension. I went to customize my tool bar but the button for Launchy was not available to add to my toolbar.
Yet another example of strangeness was after I installed IE Tab. When I right-clicked on a link the "Open link in IE Tab" did not show up in the menu..
I tried doing a clean uninstall of Firefox following instructions from several websites and then reinstalling Firefox. Regardless of what I did, I was unable to see the expected items in the Tools menu after installing my selected extensions.
Things start to get weird. I performed a clean uninstall of Firefox 3.6.4 and downloaded and installed Firefox 3.5.10 and proceeded to install all of the extensions I had installed on my other system. Most of the items I was expecting to see in the Tool menu were there, BUT there were several lines that were blank which did not do anything when I selected them.
I was able to determine that they were related to the AdBlock Plus, downthemall! and fireftp extensions. Once I uninstalled them, the empty lines in the menu disappeared. I tried reinstalling them one by one to see if any of them would appear correctly in the menu, but adblock plus and downthemall did not. I left FireFTP installed and left adblock plus and downthemall! uninstalled.
I then upgraded from 3.5.10 to 3.6.4 to see if all of the Tools menu items would remain. They did remain.... I then tried to install adblock plus and downthemall! but there was no change to the Tools menu, considering that in Firefox 3.5.10 I was getting empty lines in the tools menu for where I should see "Adblock Plus Preferences" and "DownThemAll! Tools".
Not sure what is going on here, but something odd is definitely going on here. I have not tried to install any other extensions, but my gut instinct is that I will see more issues when I install new extensions.

I had a similar problem and could not get FireFTP to show in the Tools menu and did as someone else suggested (amongst other things), I 'Disabled' the ZoneAlarm Toolbar through 'Add-ons' on the Tools menu and presto FireFTP appeared on the Tools menu after restart. Good luck

How can I extract pages from a PDF? The Tools menu is missing.

I used to be able to extract pages from my PDF file. I don't see the tools icon anymore. How can I access the tools icon?

Hi lenm,
To extract pages, you need to use Acrobat (not Adobe Reader). As I can attest (because I do have both Reader and Acrobat installed on the same computer), it is quite easy to open files in Reader when you mean to open then in Acrobat. So, please make sure you have the right app open. (I pull this one all the time!)
Now, if the Tools menu is missing from Acrobat, choose View > Show/Hide > Toolbar Items > Show Toolbars to make them reappear.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

TOOLS menu option missing from Adobe X Standard docs when opened in IE10

Hi,
A few of our users are having issues where any Adobe X document they open in Internet Explorer is missing the Tools menu bar on the top right of the document.
If they open the document in Adobe directly, the Tools menu appears.
It's only when opening in IE that the problem occurs.
Enable third-party applications is checked in Internet Options > Advanced.
I don't have this on my machine - IE displays the Tools menu correctly - so I can only assume it's a plug-in or a setting I'm missing on the users' machines.
Any ideas?
Cheers!

Slightly confused - why wouldn't it be available? Is it a limitation of the browser being unable to activate the plug-ins which are part of Adobe Acrobat X Standard? It's just functionality for altering the layouts of PDFs, page numbering, etc. Should be fairly standard?
Tools menu when opened directly in Adobe:
No Tools menu when opening in browser:

Install "Make" and other unix tools on 10.5

I am new to Macbook but accustomed with other unix computers.
I want to have unix tool "make" available on Mac 10.5.
Where can I download this and other tools? Are there pre-built binary distributions?

xcode sounds like a helpful hint, thanks.
Now the box with the installation media is here, while my wife and the computer are abroad for a few weeks. Can this xcode be installed by download from somewhere?
(Of course I tried to enter "xcode" in the top right search box on this webpage, but I end up at a server error page not found page (does apple's own search function not create correct links?).)

Missing Palettes in illustrator CC after clean install

I recently had to do a clean install on my mac with Yosemite and had to uninstall CC and then reinstall, ever since I have had problems with the palettes not appearing when selected, has anyone else had this or similar problems?
I did a bit of research and a number of forums mentioned corrupt preferences?
Appreciated your help as very frustrating!
Thank Steve

Steve,
You could try to reinstall using the full three step way:
Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

Missing Mail when try a search but subject titles and other info is there

I have Mail on the iMac computer and was searching with a word and found a bunch of things I wanted -- but looking at some of the mail that shows up in the search result window there is nothing in the pane below = then I looked across and while some of the pieces of mail did have their enclosing mailbox noted in that column [and showed up in the pane below], the missing ones did not have any mailbox reference == they show up as mail, with date, and subject and to and from etc. but there is no mailbox and when they are selected there is nothing there - and it's not because they are off the web/server -- I did find them over on another machine in its storage -= but why would they show up at all in a search on the iMac?? That's really confusing....

To protect against potential Java vulnerabilities, Firefox now asks you to activate Java by default, for each website you visit that uses Java. When you see an "Activate Java" message box, simply click it to load the Java content normally.
[[Image:Fx24-JavaActivate]]
If there is no visible area to activate Java content in the page, click the plugin icon in the address bar. In the message panel that opens, choose "Allow Now" to enable Java content temporarily.
[[Image:Fx24-JavaAllowNow]]
The next time you visit the site or any other that uses Java you will see this message again. If you want to always activate Java for a particular site, you can use the "Allow and Remember" option shown above.
For more information about using Java in Firefox, see the articles [[How to allow Java on trusted sites]] and [[Use the Java plugin to view interactive content on websites]].
'''Important:''' After activating Java, you may see a security prompt, asking you to confirm that you want to run Java, or you may see an "Application Blocked" message, depending on the website and your security settings in the [http://www.java.com/en/download/help/jcp_security.xml#control%20panel Java Control Panel]. These messages come from Java itself, not from Firefox.
For help with Java security prompts and "Application Blocked" messages, see the Java Help pages [http://www.java.com/en/download/help/appsecuritydialogs.xml What should I do when I see a security prompt from Java?] and [http://www.java.com/en/download/help/java_blocked.xml Why are Java applications blocked by your security settings with the latest Java?]
Does this solve your problem? Let us know.

What does missing Plug-in mean? I re-install adobe and it did not help.

My company that I worked for changed how we veiw aand recieve our paystubs. They made it more secure but now some mac can not veiw their paystubs. is there something that needs to be turned off or turned on to veiw the phf online?

in In Safari preferences/security, do you have Allow all other plugins checked?
do you need to use Java plugin? You can check allow java (not to be confused with java script) and see if that allows you view it, but you do not want to leave that enabled, as it is quite unsecure,and common path for malware.

Application manager is missing some apps, after effects, premeire pro and others

title says it all , is this a bug or something
I need to get after effects on my machine but I cant??

If they don't show up, then your system doesn't support them. All video apps require a 64bit operating system. Refer to the Tech Specs on teh product pages.

Digital Cable Advisor Missing From W7 Ultimate x64 After Full Install

I recently installed a new hard drive, and I did a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate x64, and when I go to Windows Media Center, the digital cable advisor is not located in Extras. I previously did the "upgrade in place" from Vista Ultimate x64 to W7, ran the advisor, plugged in my ATI Digital Cable Card Tuner, and was good to go. I cannot use the tuner without running the advisor. I am using Windows 7 that I downloaded from the the Technet web site, of which I am a member. Any ideas?
Edit - I figured it out. When you do a fresh install, running the advisor is not necessary, therefore it is not offered.. WMC will install Play Ready, and then update Play Ready to make your PC digital ready.
New development - When I attempt to access my premium channels (HBO, SHO, Starz, Encore), it gives me a message that my "PC is not digital ready", and to go to settings and "activate digital TV". I try to do that, and it tells me that my PC is not digital ready, therfore, I cannot use a cable card tuner, which is BS because I have every other channel on the cable card (in the 200's and 300's, which regular cable will not give you), to include all HD channels coming in just fine. I still don't have the digital cable advisor in my WMC Extras so that I can run it, which will supposedly make my PC "digital ready". My copy is activated, and my index score is 7.4. I have Comcast cable tv. I am at a loss... Anyone have any ideas/suggestions
My hardware: EVGA 790i Ultra SLI, Xeon X3370 3.4GHz O/C, UBER 655 Fully Modded (D-5) pump w/Koolance motor controller, Bitspower Water Tank Z PLUS, Patriot Viper 4GB (2X2GB) PVS34G2000LLKN, Powercolor LCS ATI Radeon HD 5870 w/EK WB, OCZ Z-Drive P84 PCIE 256GB SSD w/internal 4-way RAID 0, ATI TV Wonder Digital Cable Card Tuner, Thermaltake Toughpower 850W 80 Plus ESA PSU, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 RTM, (2) 150GB WD Raptor Windows 7 back-up

Thank you for the response. Below are my responses.
1. Did the TV work in Windows Media Center in Windows Vista? I used a Hauppauge 1800 PVR in Vista and Windows 7 after I did the upgrade in place, which did not require running the Digital Cable Advisor. I then switched to the ATI Digital Cable Card Tuner while using Windows 7, I ran the Digital Cable Advisor, and the card worked fine. I installed a new hard drive and did a full install of Windows 7, and the Digital Cable Advisor is not there.
2. If you cannot locate the Digital Cable Advisor in the Extras Library, then check that automatic downloads are enabled in your Media Center Settings (Settings | General | Automatic Download Options).   Automatic downloads are enables in WMC. In fact, when I installed the cable card tuner, WMC downloaded and installed PlayReady, and then updated Playready during the setup in WMC.
3. It also can be the TV Tuner and Graphics card driver issue, please update BIOS, Graphics, TV Tuner and chipset drivers to the latest version. Everything is up to date. I built this computer (I am not a novice), and the ATI card updated the firmware version when I installed it while it was running in Windows 7 after the original upgrade in place. I also checked the firmware version after the full installation of W7, and it has the latest firmware version. Windows 7 Automatic Updates downloaded the latest ATI cable card driver from Microsoft. I am using a brand new graphics card (listed in my 1st post), and the drivers are the latest signed drivers from the AMD/ATI website.
4. You can also try the following steps:
(1.)     Click the start button, try CMD, right click on CMD and choose Run as Administrator.
(2.)     In Command prompt window, type the following commands and press Enter at the end of each line:
cd \
cd c:\Windows\ehome
start /wait mcupdate -u –nogc
After that, restart Windows Media Center to check if it works now.
I will try the above steps when I get home.
4. If not, you may want to reset Windows Media Section:
(1.) Open Control Panel/Programs and Features.
(2.) Click "Turn Windows features on or off" in the left pane.
(3.) Expand "Media Features", uncheck "Windows Media Center". Click "Yes" to continue, and click OK to quit. Then Restart.
Note: You may need to re-configure settings for Windows Media Center after re-enabling it.
(4.) Open "Turn Windows features on or off" again. Turn on the features "Windows Media Player" and "Windows Media Center". Restart.
I have tried the following three times, the Digital Cable Advisor still does not show up in WMC Extras
What I do not understand is that the cable card is running in W7 and shows all channels except the premium channels (SHO, HBO, Encore, and Starz), when I attempt those, I get the "your PC is not Digital Ready, therefore, you cannot use a cable card" screen. Additionally it is now happening when I attempt to watch A&E (HD). It is not the card, which ran fine in Windows 7 after the upgrade in place from Vista. This did not happen until I performed a full installation.

User accounts missing after post install reboot and cannot login

The 10.5 install process completed and my mac mini rebooted and came up with the login screen. None of my user accounts show - my admin user and my regular user account (also has admin privs) are not available and all I can chose is 'Other' - I have enter both my user accounts and passwords but they are not accepted.
I then restarted from the Leopard disk, cancelled the install program and used the password utility to reset these passwords and all the accounts show up in the selections (including a guest one I have set up).
I'm stuck here - can get no further. Only option seems to be restarting the install from scratch unless anyone else has a good suggestion?

Ok now restarted the install process (by selecting back from the login screen and then selecting restart from the login screen that showed the 'Other' user account only. I held down the c on the keyboard until the restart took the Leopard disc which was in the drive.
Then I went thru the install steps (language, license agree etc) and when it asked for what disk to install on I selected the mac mini HDD ad then clicked the options button to select the Archiv and Install option (rather than the Update only option I had been doing).
The install process purred through ok and I am up and running.
Now on to my MacBook Pro .....Thanks for the help and suggestions all

When I open Add-ons, from the Tools menu, I get an unresponsive script error: file:///C:/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Firefox/components/nsExtensionManager.js:623.

When I try to click on Add-ons, from the Tools menu, I get this error message of an unresponsive script: file:///C:/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Firefox/components/nsExtensionManager.js:623. This is to say the least about the unresponsive script errors at other times. However, at all times, it won't go away - even by clicking on the 'stop script' option; even with checking the 'don't ask again' option. I've cleared the cookies and history as best I could, but it appears that there is some sort of conflict. How can I resolve this? Kevin: [email protected] Thank you.

This is typically caused by a problem with the Personas Plus 1.6 add-on and it conflicting with the Google toolbar.
Try disabling the Personas Plus add-on. To do this open the add-ons manager by selecting the Tools menu, then Add-ons. In the list of installed extensions click on Personas Plus, then click on either disable or uninstall.
If you can not access the add-ons manager, follow the instructions in the [[safe mode]] article to start Firefox in safe mode. You should then be able to disable or uninstall Personas Plus. You can find more information on this procedure in the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article.

Missing Items list returns wrong results

Hi All,
Have an issue whereby items are included on the missing items list report which show no consignment value and a positive available value...
I.e. Item A is showing on the list with:
In stock 30
Committed 1
Available 29
Anyone ever come across this?
Many Thanks,
Matt

Hi Guys,
I think the issue is more to do with the fact that the report is picking the items up even though it has a positive value in the available field, the consignment field seems to be correct.
This is happening for a lot of items, even for items where there is no data in either the consignment or available fields.
The version is 8.8 PL14.
Thanks,
Matt

Some apps missing after re-instal

im not sure if this is the right spot for this, so if its not could someone redirect me.
i got a new macbook pro for school and i was gonna give my relatively new macbook (intel 1st gen i think) to my mom. it had alot of files and was slowing down a little so i transfered everything i wanted to keep and wiped it, reinstalled with the dvds following the prompts.
all said and done everything seemed fine except its missing a couple of apps.
imovie (even though the rest of ilife08 is installed)
text edit
actually i guess thats it. there might be a few more, i cant remeber if chess was on there.
anyway, rather than reinstaling everything, is there anyway to download the offical mac version of text edit... im not too worried about ilife as im sure shell upgrade to 09 anyway then everything will sort itself out on that front. ive been looking for free version but everything is either trial or its more of a coding tool only and not really for word processing.
or if reinstalation is the way to go, is there something i missed or didnt click that may have left these and other apps off the list?
thank you

you can reinstall TextEdit from the install DVD using Pacifist.
http://www.charlessoft.com/
you can also reinstall just ilife and it should install imovie.
to install just ilife, open the install DVD in fnder and double-click on "install bundled software only".
