Why do I have to use the File menu to exit LR 4.1?

My LR 4.1 opens without the normal Windows 7 header information. I do not see the application name, and can not minimize the window, adjust its size or exit the program by simply clicking on the usual 3 boxes at the top right corner of the application window. They are absent.
I also have LR 3, on my machine. That still opens normally with all the usual "windows" items above the application window.
I'm not sure exactly when the problem started. I've been ignoring it for at least a couple of weeks.
Today I tried looking for a solution in the various pull down menus without success.
Anyone have an idea what might be going on? Thanks.
Jerry

Thank you, Simon!
Keying F made the problem go away.
I've been using LR for almost a year, and do not recall coming across that "F" function before.

Cannot recover 'file' please try opening it using the file menu

Hello,
we have had some issues with document corruption in inDesign, a user this morning received the following error:
Cannot recover 'filename.indd'. Please try to open it unsing the file menu.
The file 'filename.indd' has been changed since adobe inDesign last quit (Error code: 11)
When the user uses the file menu to open it it works fine
I have googled this message but not found any information on it.
Does anyone know what this means or how to resolve it? Does it give any clues as to why the users are having problems with documents getting corrupted.
Thanks,
Tom

HT201250 Why do i have to use the password for time capsule every time i start my computer

Why do I have to use thr password for time capsuel every time I start my imac?

With hindsight, the previous response I got from Apple was just a way of shelving the problem.
Having just had to reset my password after another 3 months, I contacted Apple again, and it happened that the senior advisor whom the phone agent consulted had had exactly the same problem as me, and had found that iTunes could fix it. However when I spoke to iTunes they told me I needed to speak to Apple ID account security. The Apple ID account security representative spoke to a senior adviser, then told me that it would be fixed after I reset my password. However I am not convinced that anything was actually done, so I may be back here in another 3 months ...
To modify Roger's advice, the solution I was given is: go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'All Products and Services' in the first column, 'iTunes' in the second column, 'iTunes Store' in the third column, then "Account Management" and "Apple ID account security", then "Talk to Apple support now". A complication is that the "Talk to Apple support now" option only appears when UK English is selected. So you either need to select UK at the top, or find another way of making phone contact (the email link just went back to the person in iTunes)!

Why do I have to use the mobile site to buy Skype ...

Viber, TextNow!, every messaging app lets you use in-app purchasing, WHY DOESN'T SKYPE???? it's LAZY and incomvenient that we're forced to use the website, log in and input all our info. I'm not buying a penny worth of credit until I can use the standard payment method every other app uses.
I feel insulted. It's like they intentionally made it more difficult for loyal Windows phone users.

Did you have an unlimtited data plan before you purchased your Pixi? Verizon told me two different times today that the free hotspot was no longer available unless you had an unlimited data plan BEFORE the July price change.

Why do we have to use the sales area?

Dear experts,
I was looking for SAP Documentation but couldn't find anything relevant.
I'm using CRM 5.0 and ERP 2005. I'd like to implement the following scenario:
- Create BP / BA / Technical Object and contract in CRM
- Replication in ISU
- In ISU, we are using the contract partner (role MKK) with a SD Customer.
Can I implement this scenario without using sales area in CRM?
From my understanding, we need to set up the sales area in CRM for 2 main reasons:
Reason 1) Supported scenarios for BP replication
          Option a) CRM sold to party without sales area <-> ISU contract partner without SD
          Option b) CRM sold to party with sales area <-> ISU contract partner with SD
          So SAP doesn't support the scenario: CRM sold to party without sales area <-> ISU contract partner with SD
Reason 2) We need the sales area to use sales transaction. For my scenario, i need to use service contract. so i need the sales area in CRM.
Could you please tell me if i am correct? I heard that some people manage to replicate the contract partner in ISU without using sales area in CRM. And the SD customer was correctly created. (Because the SD customer is automatically created when a contract partner is created in ISU).
Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
Stephanie

Dear Vikash and dear Javier,
Thanks for your help. I am still confused with these sales area. But what you say is:
- We can create a sold to party without sales area in CRM and it could be replicated into ISU as a contract partner with an SD customer.
- To replicate the service contract into ISU, I need to assign to this document a sales area. Is it necessary because it will be replicated in ISU as an utilities contract and it's not an SD document? If the sales area are required, i will have to set up these sales area in the organizational structure (PPOMA_CRM). In this case, when I will create the service contract, I will have to determine the correct organisational structure based to some custom/specific rules?
Sorry for these riddiculous questions but it's hard for me to understand this sales area concept.
Thanks again,
Stephanie

Why do i have to use the podcast app in iOS6 since it doesn't work correctly

I upgraded to iOS 6 and now you cant download podcasts through the itunes app... Now you have to download the podcast app and use that instead, but that wont work correctly for me... keeps hanging and not downloading the actual podcast. Does anyone know a way to get podcasts in iOS 6 without using this app?

Separating out a podcast app is a step backward. From a marketing perspective, podcasts are seen as something independent from music and television. But from a functionality POV, it just makes it harder to manage your audio on your iPhone.
Consumer Technology's objective has always been to make one device do more things, i.e. combine a phone into a music player. This step is akin to taking the ability to text and spinning it off onto a gadget you attach to your key-ring.
It's still there, but annoying to dig out when you want to use it.

Why do I have to use the tab key even more to tab between page elements.

Firefox versions prior to ver 4 I used the tab key to tab between page elements (form elements, buttons, etc). I upgraded to ver 4 and now when I tab from form element to form element I first see a gray line outlining the element area and then another press of the tab the element becomes active for me to use. I now have to use double the tab keys to move between form elements.

Hello new_mac_user, see if the next works
# In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
# Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''', to continue to the about:config page.
# in search field type (or copy/paste from here) '''accessibility.tabfocus'''
# double-click on it and change the value to '''4''' (probably you have 1 the default on mac)
# click ok, exit firefox and restart it.
with the above you give focus to links (and linked images) only when you press the tab key.

Crashing if I open a document, but not if I use the 'File' menu?

I've got InDesign CS5 on Windows 7. If I open InDesign and use File > Open, I can launch my projects without trouble. If I go to the file in Windows Explorer and double-click it, InDesign launches, but hangs without opening the document and I have to force-quit from the Task Manager. Any suggestions? It's not a major issue, but it's a hassle not to be able to simply select a recent document and open it from the start menu.

Re-associate InDesign with the file type
Right Click > Open With > InDesign should be listed but the belt and suspenders approach might merit actually browsing to the InDesign .exe file

Why do I have to use the drop down "Get Messages" option each time; msgs don't download automatically.

I have checked with my Internet provider; all settings are set to 'download' at opening & every 5 minutes after that.

Have you considered using either a jump drive or a portable hard-drive to back up your iTunes files?
In the beginning, I was using a 8GB jump drive to back up my iTunes music folder. I ran out of space on that, so I purchased a 250GB portable hard drive and have been backing up my iTunes music folder on that. Very easy.....you just put the USB port of the hard-drive into your computer...COPY your iTunes music folder from the computer and PASTE it to the portable hard-drive.

My class is in the default package, location = D:\Java\MyClass.class

p.load(new FileInputStream(new File( "Properties.txt" )));
//This fails
try{

try using getClass().getResourceAsStream instead of FileInputStream ...

Cannot recover 'unknown document'. Please try to open it using the File menu.

When I try to open an in InCopy document I get this error message:
At this point I am not able to perform any action because InCopy is stuck.
Then if I click “OK” I get the following one talking about InDesign which I do not even have installed:
Then if I click “OK” InCopy crashes…
I have tried to save the InCopy document before opening as a text editor and paste it in a new InCopy file but I just get a bounch of coding. I cannot convert into anything that makes sense...it just spits out thousands of pages with jibberish.
I have tried to make a copy of the document before opening and open the copy, but the problem persists. Does anybody have experienced the same issue?

Photoshop won't start: Could not open a scratch file because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file.

Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended
"Could not open a scratch file because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file."
I've tried finding and checking and fixing permissions but no success.
This happened from one day to the next. I think it has to do with the sn attached to the disk rather then the motherboard. I have the suite co-installed with Symphony 5.05. I've tried reinstalling.
What's to b done? The rest of the Creative Suite 6 (AE, AI etc.) works fine.
Anyone...?

My computer is saying it can't find the file 'iTunes64.msi' when I try to update or redownload iTunes how do I fix this? I've tried just about everything I can think of. I am using a dell laptop running windows 7 and have tried changing the file location to run the update in all of my iTunes files as well as when I've tried reinstalling it.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
