Windows menu mostly disabled (eg. Layers). Trial limitation?

Hi all,
I just downloaded the Trial version of Elements. I want to be sure it's good for what I want (2D game graphics) before I purchase. I tried to create a simple into screen for my game, but the Layers window in the Windows menu is greyed out (as is 90% of the Windows menu).
I can seemingly create new layers with the Layers menu, but since I can' open the Layers window, I can't do much between them.
Is this a limitation of the trial, or am I doing something stupid?
Another small queston, when I select some text, the Copy/Paste options are greyed out, unless I select everything else in the document. Is this because they're on the same layer, or does it sound strange? I wanted to copy/paste my text (to creat a flipped, reflection), but I just couldn't find a way to do it.
Thanks.
Danny

Windows. When I start it, I Get the below splash screen. Clicking CREATE loads Elements with lots of stuff (like all of the windows: layers, history, effects, etc.) disabled. Clicking EDIT loads it with all this stuff enabled. I think the CREATE option is for using wizards to create flyers and stuff. I'd rather just skip this and have it load in the EDIT mode every time.

FF4 on Snow Leopard: Cmd-N, "New Window", doesn't open, is in Window menu, but isn't accessible. Add-ons all disabled.

I installed FF4 yesterday onto my Mac running Snow Leopard 10.6.7. Today I can't open a "new window" using either the "New Window" menu under File, or using Cmd-N. (Don't know if it would have worked yesterday - I didn't try.) I disabled all (4) of my add-ons, restarted and the new windows are still failing to open. The new windows are listed in the "Window" menu, but even using that, I can't open them. Showing all open windows, using the built-in Mac "Expose" (F9) feature also doesn't show these windows.

Well, today my New Window functionality is working fine, not fast, but it works. Nothing has changed - no new software or OS updates. Oh, well, thanks for looking at this.

Disabling "window menu" of undecorated JFrame

[JDK 1.4.2 on Windows XP.]
Using frame.setUndecorated(true) to disable window border and other window decorations.
But pressing Alt-SPACE still displays Windows "window menu" (i.e. the one with "Restore", "Move", "Minimize", "Maximize", "Close").
Is there a way to disable this?

Used to use JWindow but had to switch to JFrame since (I could be wrong) JWindows do not receive keyboard focus in JDK 1.4.2. My main window/frame contains text fields, buttons and other components that need to receive keyboard focus for input.

When I don't have the BROWSER menu option turned on, the WINDOW menu options are un-accessable by mouse

First of all, I would like to clarify which "menu" is un-accessable.
I'm referring to the menu that regardless of which program, a user can access by either clicking ALT + SPACE or by clicking the top left corner of the window. I'm NOT referring to the FIREFOX menu options, those I am fine with.
Normally, I can just move my mouse to the top left corner and double click to close a program. I used to be able to do that too with firefox 3.6. However, due to the new design, when I click the top left corner, I get the orange Firefox drop down menu. This is because firefox, due to the new update, no longer has an independent window bar that is the norm across most programs. The only way I can get this independent menu bar is to enable the browser menu bar. This however, adds two entire layers of bars, which defeats one of the purposes of the update, to give more viewing space
The Chrome browser also has the tab row on top, however, it doesn't have the issue I brought up. When I click the top left corner of the window, the regular WINDOW menu options pop up.
The reason why this is important to me is due to the fact that I use two monitors. Normally, I can just move my cursor to the top right and close the window without looking for my right hand side monitor, and then double click the top left hand side of my left hand side monitor to close the window. This is because with a 2 monitor set up, the "X" close button is located inconvinently in the middle of my two screens, forcing me to aim for the tiny small red rectangle, which is why I prefere to double click the top left corner; I don't have to aim.
I have long been a loyal user of firefox. Browsers like Chrome and others have been out ranking firefox for a long time, mozilla is only playing catch up here...
While I am glad for the update - better speed due to JaegerMonkey, the added hardware acceleration, the tab groups, and more, if the window menu problem is not resolved soon, this update is going to force me to switch browsers.
I look forward to a fix, or response on how to resolve this issue.
Many thanks,
Still a firefox user... for now

it's possible but there is likely no need to do this. what exactly is wrong with your computer? a simple reinstall of snow leopard on top of your current system will cure many ills and will preserve your data and applications. and many problems can be solved without reinstalling at all.
but if you insist on doing a wipe and install boot from the SL install DVD and start disk utility from utilities menu at the top. erase your hard drive using the erase tab in disk utility. then quit disk utility and proceed with the install. and if you do reinstall I suggest you back up your data first. otherwise it will be completely wiped when you erase your hard drive. and you should always back up anyway.

Multiple checkmarks in the Finder Windows menu

Here's an odd one. I've been seeing multiple check marks in the Finder's Window menu. The menu normally puts a check mark next to the front-most window. However, having more than one window checked makes no sense. More worrisome is why this is happening and what it says about the integrity of my Finder.
Does anyone have any idea why I would be seeing this and how to fix it? I haven't trashed the Finder preferences yet, but that seems the next obvious step.

Terence Devlin It was not my intention to step on your tone, Sorry for that.
But.
+Pathfinder is not a System Add-on. It's an application.+
That is right it's an addition to the finder with different graphics and so it's not a modification to the standard window. What I like is a basic Finder window with just added tabs.
+Sweeping generalisation there... and you've tried them all? Really?+
Yes, I do think I tried them all and I still think they all miss the simplicity and elegance of the Finder windows. But if you know a good alternative (not pathfinder) I really would like that.
+Pathfinder brings many very useful functions to the table - that's why one might consider it.+
You are right. I do totally agree on that. But I rather work with the standard Finder window/info window , etc.
+On the contrary it "do leaving the finder as it is" - it makes not a whit of a difference to the Finder, you can even run the two side by side if you want. Changes made in the filesystem with one will be instantly available in the other. Perhaps, in trying "all those system add-ons" you didn't try them very carefully.+
That is exactly my point you end up using them side by side. Two different windows with things on different places. But I think on this point you really did not try to see what I was talking about.
+Case in point. The Pathfinder window is highly customisable and all that functionality that you don't like can be hidden away.+
Yes, But did you find a way to show all the other computers in the network in the side bar like the Finder (leopard) does?

Library no longer available in Window menu since yesterday's upgrade?

I upgraded Adobe Illustrator via the Creative Cloud application yesterday and, ever since, the Library option in the Window menu is gone.
I can't see it anywhere!
Is this a bug with the upgrade? I'd appreciate your advice on how to reinstate this feature as it's obviously very useful as I have a lot of assets in there but can't access them!
Windows 8.1 Pro > Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 17.1.0 64 Bit
Hope you can help. Thank you.

CC Panel told me that it had updated Illustrator - I've no idea which version it was previously so I assumed it had done so.
Thing is, the Library panel was working in my previous version. Anyway, whatever CC Panel did it disabled the Library option in the Window menu.
So...I've chosen Help > Updates in Illustrator and, wouldn't you know it, it hasn't updated at all, despite CC Panel telling me that it has!
I'm just running a 240MB+ update now, from Help > Updates, and I'm hoping that resolves it. I'm assuming this is the upgrade to version 18+, thank you.
It's clear that there are issues with the CC Panel; which is reporting that Illustrator is up to date. Sigh...this means that I'll have to double check this in applications whenever an update is presented in the CC Panel. Sucks.
Thanks Jacob.

ARD Menu Items disable....

Hi All
2 Macbooks exact in model and OS X Leopard. All up to date.. Using latest ver. of ARD.. I can connect to from my system to the other on the local network and over the internet. I can access all settings, system pref's and even lock the screen.. but for some reason the text menu to manage the system on ARD is all disabled. I have full access set on the system prefs under "remote management" I also have checked the "remote login"
Any sugestions??
TIA
Oscar A. 

Thanks for the reply... but I think I figured it out by accident.. can you please tell me if this sounds correct... If the window where I see the other systems desktop is open, the menu is disabled. but if I just select the system on the ARD list of systems, the menu is enabled ... and I can do the commands from there.. All of them.
Thanks

Using the windows menu button?

Hi all,
I was wondering how I could make use of the windows menu key, the key that usually brings up the right mouse click menu? There is no corresponding key code in the KeyEvent class.
Thanks,

Go to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html and download v3.6.19 first of all. The version you have installed at the moment is insecure and exposes your machine to attack.
If the problem persists after you install it do the following. 
#Click Help, then "Restart With Add-ons Disabled". 
#In the menu which appears, checkmark the option called '''Reset Toolbars and Controls'''. 
#Then click the button called "Make Changes and Restart". There's a picture of the menu here which might help: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_Mode#Safe_Mode_options_in_Firefox 
Firefox should be back to normal afterwards.
I noticed also that many of your plugins are out of date. So please go to the http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ and update where necessary.

Application bar is greyed out under window menu

Although I can see an application bar on my document, it is "greyed out" under the window menu. Specifically when I click the icon to arrange documents ie - tile vertically/horizontally - everything is greyed out

Hi,
Do you have a project open?
if so double click on a sequence and the timeline should appear. Or start a new project if you don't have one open.

Is there a way to see an organized Window Menu that indicates if a window is minimized?

Using Firefox 3.6.12 on Mac OS X 10.6.5
I routinely research using tabbed browsing. Each window holds a collection of tabs related to a research resource or topic. Sometimes I minimize these on the Mac with a Command-M.
When I look at the Window menu for the application the order seems random and there is no indication of which folders are minimized or open.
One possibility would be to have a sidebar hierarchy (with search feature) that is sorted by a user's choices (e.g. all maximized windows listed separate from all minimized windows; sort by site/URL in first tab of window).
Can this also influence Command-` cycling through maximized windows?
It's probably a different topic but it would be nice to know which tab is taking a lot of processing time (Javascript, Flash, AJAX, etc.) so it could be closed for better overall performance. Similarly, finding the one tab that is outputting audio would be a help sometimes.
Searches in help forum and add-ons don't seem to respect quoted strings such as "Window menu" so it is very hard to find relevant information or plug ins.

Hi!
thanx alot for the answers, I didn´t noticed that you answered I didn´t get the email that this post was answered, what we needed was to access the oportunity directly whith a URL in the Browser. So you can build a URL and access Siebel with a browser and it will open directly in siebel on the oportunity, I think the Siebel Team solved this some how but I wanted to answer you since I couldn´t see you messages,
Really apreciate it!!
Kind Regards!

Help: How to add a library item to hide the default Window menu

Hi,
In this post: Help: How to add a library item to hide the default Window menu, it described how to create an menu that will hide the default window menu.
I'd like to know if there a way to put this component into library so that others can directly inherit this menu in other FORMS and how to implement it.
Jimmy

Hi,
I found the solution and the post was not properly phrased. There is no need to add menu into library. All we need is to put the compiled menu into Oracle AS and add the menu name the menu module of the given form.
Thanks.
Jimmy

I'd like to disable my expired trial for adobe acrobat pro XI because I can no longer view pdfs without getting a subscription

I'd like to disable my expired trial for adobe acrobat pro XI because I can no longer view pdfs without getting a subscription

Un-install Adobe Acrobat and repair the installation of Adobe Reader.

The checkbox (Install or remove Windows 7) is disabled in bootcamp.

Hi, I want to get rid of windows that was installed using bootcamp on my early 2011 macbook pro but the checkbox (install or remove windows 7) is disabled in bootcamp. I tried to format the drive using disk utility but failed, It says "couldn't modify partition map". What can I do to remove windows 7 and unite all the data in my HDD into one single partition?

2 things, the option is greyed out because (1) 1st 2 items are unchecked or (2) the USB containing Windows and the drivers is not detected.
The newer 2013 machines seem to be very picky about the Windows install, as keys that worked on 2012 machines would no longer work on the 2013s. If you want a painless install, do this
DL the correct W7 ISO from here http://techverse.net/download-windows-7-iso-x86-x64-microsofts-official-servers/ - SP1 ISOs
Then insert your USB and select all 3 options. The program will copy this new ISO to your USB.
Only use a USB2 (not USB3) drive
