Why won't my presets drop down?

Everything was working fine on Lightroom4, however now when i click on presets, the options will not drop down and thus i can't use them! help!

To address your "stuck triangles":
it could be due to a corrupted preferences file.
So rename it, so that LR will not recognize it and will create a new automatically when restarting.
Close LR and rename
if you have Windows Vista or 7: C: \ Users \ [your username] \ AppData \ Roaming \ Adobe \ Lightroom \ Preferences \ Lightroom 4 Preferences.agprefs
if you have a Mac: Macintosh HD / Users / [your username] / Library / Preferences / com.adobe.Lightroom4.plist
The advantage of renaming is that you can come back to the original file in case it would not have solved the problem.
Then, of course you need to trash the newly created file.
Whenever you touch this file, LR must be closed before.

While using email why won't the cursor drop down into the compose area of the email

While using my default browser firefox, I am unable to type in the "compose" section. I can type the address I want to send to and the subject but after that my cursor will not show up in the compose section. The cursor just will not go there.
If I change and use explorer I don't have this problem. I do not want to use explorer so please help me if you can

Why i can't open drop down in photoshop cc

hello,
why i can't open drop down in photoshop cc?

You need to supply more information before anyone can answer that.
What operating system are you using?
What exactly are you trying to do? What drop-down won't open? It might be useful to upload a screen grab of your Photoshop workspace and image. Upload at full resolution please.

Safari won't provide a drop down menu when I click on paper clip in outlook email. Any help on this would be great.

I am using Microsoft Outlook for work email and Safari won't display a drop down menu when I click on the paper clip for attachments. The IT person at work says the browser isn't working or Safari isn't updated and I should try a different browser. My other Comcast email is fine. I can attach anything. Any help would be great.

You could try enabling the Develop menu and try using IE but no guarantees. Not surprising that (Microsoft) Outlook isn't compatible with Apples' Safari.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Prerferences then select the Advanced tab.
Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar
Now from the Safari menu bar top of your screen click Develop > User Agent
Try IE 7, 8, or 9.

Why is extension not a drop down option for me under window (window extension) in Illustrator CC 2014?

Why is extension not a drop down option for me under window (window > extension) in Illustrator CC 2014?
I need to open an extension I have downloaded and added to the Adobe Extension Manager CC but the extension option on the window drop down is not present.

SUCCESS!! I figured out that you need the Application Frame option checked in order to achieve the layout I like. Silly me.

Width tool presets drop down, extend the box

just wanted to extend the box of the width tool preset drop down. in the control panel.

Yes we can achieve this. But you need to use internal table in dropdownlist as show below:
Onintialization
 entry-name = 'IC'. entry-value = 'IC Text'.
 APPEND entry TO itab.
 entry-name = 'PM'. entry-value = 'PM Text'.
 APPEND entry TO itab.
Layout
 <htmlb:dropdownListBox id = "LIST"
 nameOfKeyColumn = "NAME"
 nameOfValueColumn = "VALUE"
 width = "300"
 selection = "<%= doc_type %>"
 onSelect = "DDLB1Event"
 table = "<%= itab %>" />
Page attribute:
entry TYPE IHTTPNVP
itab TYPE TIHTTPNVP
OnINputprocessing:
CALL METHOD REQUEST->GET_FORM_FIELD
 EXPORTING
 NAME = 'LIST'
 RECEIVING
 VALUE = doc_type.
delete itab where name = doc_type. " This will remove selected entry from Itab.
if doc_type = 'IC'
 entry-name = 'IC'. entry-value = 'IC Text'.
else.
 entry-name = 'PM'. entry-value = 'PM Text'.
endif.
insert entry to itab index 1.

Missing 'Presets' drop-down menu

The 'Presets' drop-down menu is missing from my Adjustments HUD. I'm processing some RAWs from a photoshoot and need to create a Black & White preset but I can't. I can't access any Presets, nor can I make new ones because the Preset's drop down menu doesn't exist, and I can't find a regular way of navigating to this function via the main menu. Everything else appears to be working fine. Any Ideas?
I'm using Aperture 3.4.3 (app store version), OSX Lion 10.7.5, and running my Mac Pro in 64bit (8-core, early 2009).
FYI I've never used Presets before, so have no idea if this is a new problem or if it's always been there.
Hope someone can help - cheers...

Ok this is under Add Adjustment
And this is under Effects
And this is the edit window.

Camera Raw 8.3 Workflow option no longer has a preset drop down to create custom presets.

I do not know why I am no longer able to assign presets to my Camera Raw workflow. The drop down in no longer available at the top. Any suggestions on what I did to hide this, I would appreciate it.
Thanks

I just reloaded Bridge CC and it seems to have corrected the problem. Not sure why, but not complaining. Thanks to all of you who tried to help.

Hi 3unice,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like there is an issue swiping down on your iPhone to see Notification Center. If the issue occurs when the iPhone is on the locked screen, make sure it's enabled as shown in the first article linked below.
iOS: Understanding Control Center
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5858
You can enable and disable access to Control Center from the Lock screen or apps in Settings > Control Center.
If that isn't the issue, try restarting or restoring the iPhone.
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

Why won't my Mac shut down?

I've got a Quicksilver G4, 867MHz, 1.25GB RAM, Tiger 10.4.11 at home that just won't shut down. My wife and I share this computer; she has her log in, I have mine. The problem started over a month ago. At that time the G4 had a very difficult time starting - the gray screen, Apple logo and spinning wheel would stay on the screen for up to 4 minutes, then the computer would shut itself off. Three tries and it would finally start up. I ran utilities from the OS disk, ran Tech Tool Pro, ran Disk Warrior, ran Onyx; I did everything I could to clean up the system. It sort of worked - the machine would at least start (although slowly), run (slowly) and shut down normally (occasionally). I decided to reload the operating system along with all the updates. For the first few days after reloading the OS it started, ran and shut down normally. It now starts normally, runs OK, but will not shut down. When prompted to shut down everything on the desktop disappears except the wallpaper. The machine just sits with the wallpaper on the screen for as long as we let it go without forcing a shut down with the power key. What's the solution?
Thanks in advance to all who can help me.

Why won't my G5 shut down after upgrading to OS 10.4?

Hey guys. I have a problem with upgrading my OS to 10.4.
I am running a Late 2004 Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5 with two internal drives. About a month ago, I upgraded the OS to 10.4.3. It was great having spotlight, but the comptuer would refuse to shut itself down. Instead, it closes all the apps and windows, and gives me a spinning ball. After about 10 minutes, the hard-drives stop clicking, after which the fans kick on and stay on full blast until I manually unplug the comptuer. I have upgraded to 10.4.6, reset PRAM, reset SMU (PMU?), verified and repaired...
In thinking that this was a problem with the OS on the previous system, I installed 10.4.3 (my install disc) onto my second drive, which was happily running 10.3 (this was my backup). If running on this other drive, with 10.4.3, it also fails to shut down! I have done the same suite of resets and upgrades to 10.4.6, but it still doesn't shut down. Is there an incompatibility between my G5 and 10.4? Any advice about what I can do? Help!

Contributed by Fumiaki Kawashima a Level 4 here;
There are many reasons to become unable shutting down or restarting from Apple Menu. Some were explained by other posters.
Most importantly, loginwindow (the parent process is launchd.) close out the user session, continue to set the device permissions and user preferences to their defaults in a restart action, or the process power off the system in a shutdown action. However, the issue proves that somewhere in those routines cannot be performed.
Users authentication system seems to be intact because you can restart or shutdown from the login window. However, the admin account authenticated by the Tiger security systems could confuse somehow and affect loginwindow process for setting up the user environment. This may result in interfering with the process for the shutdown and restart mentioned above.
Test if you can shutdown from the keyboard-- Holding down controloptioncommand keys, and then press the eject key.
Check if the loginwindow plists are corrupted. To do this test, remove the followings to temporary folders on the desktop, and shutdown from the keyboard shortcut combination. Restart the computer to test the recurrence.
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist
/Users/HOME/Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist
Try disabling Login Items for third-party applications via the Accounts system preference, if any.
Verify whether any third-party kernel extensions (including device drivers) interfere with the loginwindow hooks process-- Start up with a Safe-mode, then test the Restart from Apple Menu to see whether it works. Also, boot into a Single-user mode, and test if "reboot" command is available from the BSD layer. The I/O Kit API for software developers provides a shutdown hook so that ".kext" troubleshooting may need to be considered. Besides, some bad programmed extension may not be unloaded automatically at a shutdown or restart.
If the computer is configured with Irish language Input method and/or third-party Irish keyboard, try disabling them to test.
A third-party application or custom script may interfere with the loginwindow hooks for the Shut Down or Restart. For example, if you install an application that prevents casually powering down a system, the Shut Down and Restart buttons may not work. Also, if you install a P2P file sharing application, try uninstalling it.
As last resorts, troubleshoot a bad RAM and consider "Erase and Install" solution.
OPTION:
Post a part of system.log that indicates events from "localhost kernel[0]: standard timeslicing quantum is 10000 us" to the next same line.
This may help to narrow down because restarting or shutting down the system process can initiate the procedure programmatically by sending an appropriate Apple event to Mac OS X Tiger's system process (loginwindow).
Likewise, check console.log whether any failures is reported.
Corrections:
Most importantly, the loginwindow (the parent process is launchd.) close out the user session, continue to set the device permissions and user preferences to their defaults in a restart action, or the process power off the system in a shutdown action.
However, the admin account authenticated by the Tiger security systems could confuse somehow and it may impact on the loginwindow process for setting up the user environment. This may result in interfering with the process for the shutdown and restart as mentioned above.
Addendum:
If you post a copy of system.log, consider to edit the Ethernet interface ID to a fake value.
API = Application Programming Interface
Cheers!

Why won't drag and drop work with Library Assets in Illustrator or InDesign?

I've read a couple of threads with people having this issue, some dating back to late summer last year. I tried the fixes offered up in the responses, but haven't had success yet.
All my programs are up-to-date, but I cannot drag and drop graphics from my library into InDesign or Illustrator. Photoshop is working fine.
Are there any actual solutions to this yet?

What kind of graphic are you talking about? In the Library panel (Illustrator) or CC Library panel (InDesign) graphics are identified with a small label to tell what their source is (Ai, ID, PS, SVG, etc.)
And even though you say you have the latest version, exactly what version of InDesign do you have? You can see it in the About InDesign choice under the InDesign menu (Mac) or Help menu (Windows).

Why won't my computer shut down

My computer will not shut down. Most the times it says that it is because applications are failing to quit. Yes, I have tried to force quit multiple ways, such as Command+option+esc. I have also held down the mouse if on the dock, but the force quit option has not been present during those efforts. Applications that have been unresponsive so far: iTunes, The Sims 3, Safari, Word, Preview. I tried deleting applications, but failed because they need to be quit before that is possible. This also goes for installing updates. Thank you for your help.

hold option and right click the app you're trying to close and then you will see force quit. you can also force quit in Activity monitor

Why won't my presets expand anymore? They are now permanently collapsed and unusable..

Previously it was fine and I've used the general preset to sharpen faces, etc. Now nothing happens when I select any of the presets. I don't what else to try.

In Develop module, are you not seeing the small triangle shaped icon to the left of Lightroom presets or User presets? Clicking once usually expands or contracts the list. Are you viewing images at 1:1 to see the results, when applying the sharpening preset? If you open the Detail tab over on the right, you should see the sharpening sliders move as you click the preset. You can use the preset as a starting point and the slider to tweak further if necessary.
