XFCE 4.10 and the disappearing menu items

Hello,
Some of my menu items seems to have gone missing in XFCE, for example, the menu editor is certaintly gone(im not sure if other items are missing as well).
The only recent change I done is installing the faenza icon theme, could that possibly have been the catalyst for this problem?

the entry was missing completely, I tried your suggestion (turning off the icon theme), and it didn't fix it. I tried mocking around with it and ended up trying to do a full system upgrade and that helped
Cheers.

I am trying to setup my new time capsule but it is not working. after entering the airport utility and locating the TC, after I tell the program to continue, the unit just disappear and the setup menu says there is an error. Any idea of what is happening?

I am trying to setup my new time capsule but it is not working. after entering the airport utility and locating the TC, after I tell the program to continue, the unit just disappear from the menu and the setup menu says there is an error. I tried using the wireless connection, and also the cable, but none worked. Any idea of what could be happening?

What are you setting it up as.. join wireless network .. the very worst setup, it will disappear.. reboot the whole network in order modem. router TC.. clients and it will likely reappear.
Tell us what network setup you are using..
If you setup with cable to a computer completely isolated from the network with TC also isolated.. finish the setup of everything you want. .before update.. then plug it into the network. .then restart everything in correct order.. it will work most of the time.

Page Forward & Reverse buttons do not work & are "grayed-out" after upgrading to, as is the Main-Menu Items such as File-Edit-view etc...

After upgrading to Firefox 3.6.12 all functionality appeared to be intact. Then after a few days it lost the ability to "page forward" or to "page back" and are "grayed-out". Additionally, the Main menu items such as File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools & Help are also grayed-out and non-functioning.
Also, the "Search Window" does not search, Web Searches need to be performed from within the URL window instead, for some crazy reason. If the URL window is blank when I enter a search into the actual search window the following appears in the URL window, "Search Bookmarks and History", which makes no sense.
I have noticed similar complaints in this Forum in the past but I have not seen any posted resolution to these issues. Is there a solution?

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems. 
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

Even you have to assign first to System Administrator group
First go to Manage Group
Select System Administrator Group
Select Menu Item
Click Assign and select newly craeted Menu Item and click Confirm
These are the steps to see the new menu item. To make this menu item working:
you'll have to write action class, form bean class and you'll have to create JSPs and make their entry in struts-config as welll as in Tiles-def.xml
Then your menu item will work.

What are the parameters for the processes menu items

Is there anywhere that lists out what the exact parameters of the process menu items are. i.e "Make Louder, Normalize, Hard Limit, Equalize Volume Levels",
For instance when you use "Make Louder" you see the dialog box title change from "Analyzing peeks" to "Applying Hard Limit". What exactly is happening when these processes are being applied? I realize that the Hard limiter is being applied, but with what paramaters and what does "Analyzing peeks" really mean and is there a way to do that by its self and if so what can be learned by the results.
I would also like to know the paramaters for the others as well. It would be helpfull to know, so one could dial up or down the paramaters to achieve a similar result, but with slightly more or less effect.

Where is the "apps" menu item in the new iTunes interface?

Where is the “apps” menu item in the new iTunes interface? I can no longer transfer files from my PC to my iPhone.
I just downloaded and installed the updated iTunes for my iPhone. I cannot find the “apps” menu item anywhere. How can I continue to download various types of files FROM my PC (Windows 7) TO my iPhone? I previously did this by clicking on the “apps” menu item and going from there. I cannot find the “apps” anywhere on the new iTunes. Thanks.

Tonefox, no it's not under "Music" but I did some more digging and found where Apple has "hidden" Apps on their latest iTunes for PC. You need to click on "iPhone" (upper right menu item) to display more menue items, of which Apps is one of them. When I had clicked on "iPhone" before, I mistakenly closed the the iPhone option from view because I clicked on the up arrow next to iPhone, instead of just iPhone. Once you click on iPhone, the options look similar to what they did in the earlier version of iTunes and you can easily find Apps.

Email Link... and Email Image menu items don't work.

Suddenly, about a week ago, the Email Link... and Email Image menu items stopped working. Problem seems to be on only one login on one of my three machines. The rest seem to be OK.
Using FF 19.0 and TB 17.0.3 under Windows 7.
Any ideas?

Thank you. Although I had already checked the MailTo: application and found it set to "Use Thunderbird (default)", clearing that association and setting it to "Always Ask" jarred things loose. When I set it back to T-Bird, it worked again.
Again, thanks for the nudge.

Major bug with iCloud restore and the multitasking menu that compromises privacy.

Hello there,
I very rarely post on these forums but I’ve discovered what I think is a pretty serious bug. I’ve already sent this as feedback to apple but id be interested to know if anybody else is able to re-create it or has already stumbled across the problem.
I have been able to recreate this problem twice by creating an icloud backup on an iPhone 6 (iOS 8.0) and restoring to an iphone 6 (iOS 8.0).
The problem has to do with the multitasking snapshots that appear after double clicking the home button. On the iPhone it is my understanding that there can be up to 3 ‘different’ snapshots based on when the home button is double clicked and the orientation of an app:
a) The first is when you have an app open in portrait mode and then close it or click the home button to exit. Double clicking the home button from the home screen will then display the multitasking menu including a portrait snapshot of what was last seen in that app.
b) The next is when you're in an app that supports landscape mode and double click the home button whilst ‘in app.’ This displays a multitasking menu with landscape snapshots showing what was last seen when apps were open in landscape (note that if apps can only be shown in portrait than this is the image that will be shown and it will appear sideways).
c) Finally, there is the case when you have an app open in landscape and then directly close it or press the home button, and then double press the home button. This displays a multitasking menu with portrait snapshots; however, to my knowledge these snapshots never change (they will not show the last snapshot from when the app was last open in portrait mode).
The bug is that after restoring from iCloud, the snapshot as described in ‘C’ scenario gets set to whatever was in the icloud backup for scenario ‘A.’ Because this snapshot cannot be changed it is a major bug if for instance you have personal information in the snapshot. In my case, I have my bank statement permanently appear in the snapshot for scenario C.
What’s more, if I have safari is in landscape and then close it; then at some point I open the multitasking bar before opening safari again in portrait mode; then the snapshot flashes up in the actual app for around 1-2 second before disappearing.
At the moment the only solution I can see is to setup my iPhone as new but this will be a major hassle and lose all my settings etc.
Finally, it’s worth mentioning that I think this is a bug across all ios devices with multitasking; however, with the ipads there is an easy solution because you are able to orientate the home screen in multiple ways. This means its possible to update the snapshots in a way that you can’t do on the iPhone because the home screen is locked to portrait.

so to clarify, it appears that the multitasking snapshot for the following scenario will not update: open safari and turn to landscape, exit safari using home button or multitasking bar, then double press home button. That snapshot that appears for safari doesn't ever seem to refresh. Whatever is there is stuck there and whats more it will always pop up in the actual browser for 1-2 secs the next time safari is opened after completing those steps. Im not sure when the snapshot is initially created - it must be the first ever time you close safari but as I said in my post, it also appears to be stored in iCloud backups. So I've tried:
a) hard resetting
b) clearing safari cache and history
c) resetting all settings
d) restoring from iCloud (as mentioned)
e) opening and closing closing safari using the multitasking menu (both the landscape multitasking menu that appears when you're actually in safari in landscape mode, and the multitasking menu that appear when you double press the home button on the home screen).
f) same as above except closing all tbs open in safari before then exiting.

Adding ZoomIn functionality to the Gantt menu Items

Hi
We have a requirement of adding ZoomIn/ZoomOut as MenuItem in Gantt.
As ZoomIn/ ZoomOut is an implicit functionality of Gantt.Is there any way to do this?

You can add a custom menu with zoom-in/zoom-out menu-items to Gantt's menubar. In the action listener of the new menu-item, you can update the scale attribute of the major/minor dvt:timeAxis to the new zoom level, and ppr gantt.
This approach will not work in the older versions, but should work in the latest production release out on the OTN.

Next and Previous Document menu items greyed out

I have Reader 8.1 and the next document and previous document menu items under View > Go To are greyed out, even though I have several document open and they show up in the windows menu. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Are you definitely opening the correct version of After Effects, or are you perhaps opening the After Effects Render Engine instead?
The Render Engine is, as its name suggests, purely for rendering existing projects, and most other functions are greyed out.

Can't find "Endnote Citation" in the INSERT menu item

I wanted to insert a citation or bibliography in my report using Pages but I can't find the feature in Pages to do this. From the help, it stated going to INSERT then select "Endnote Citation" but in my Pages, under the INSERT menu item, I can't find "Endnote Citation".
I am using Macbook Air 2010, and Pages 09. Please help.

Apple includes download links to some very useful documentation with each of the iWork '09 applications. You'll find it in the Help menu. Each User Guide is a searchable PDF document packed with useful information on using the application.
On page 52 of the Pages '09 User Guide, the topic of Footnotes and Endnoted is discussed:
Adding and Editing Footnotes and Endnotes
In a word processing document, you can add special marks (numbers or symbols)
that link to notes at the bottom of a page (footnotes) or at the end of a document or
section (endnotes).
You can’t mix footnotes and endnotes in a document, but you can convert notes from
one type to the other.
(emphasis added)
The Footnotes menu item in the Insert menu serves to insert markers for either type of note.

Unable to click any of the start menu items ?

Brand new toshiba p55w laptop (win 8.1 fully patched, 8GB, etc.
Start menu is accessible but all options selected result in a "blue /blank desktop" screen and explorer.exe crashes and takes you back to the original desktop. I can work around file explorer not being readily available but having to search
for all the start menu items is just a pain.
I have read numerous references to autodesk causing this.. it is not installed on this system.
I'll gather logs from whatever is needed to diagnose

Hi,
Could you please explain a bit for all the option here? Are you saying the Start menu APPs?
When start the APP, where would you be back on ? Desktop or the start menu?
If you mean the start menu APPs, we may go through C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs and try to run the APPs from there to check if the same issue occurs.
Besides, please refer to the following KB about your issue.

How do I get rid of the "Yahoo" Menu Item

You appear to be first to mention the Yahoo menu item of those I've seen here, and there are some different versions of the '''Yahoo Toolbar''' maybe you have a different extension but this is how it goes for the Toolbar. You might check for another extension that has "Yahoo" in the name and in the Control Panel.
''Yahoo Toolbar messes up Location Bar Search''
'''Remove the Yahoo Toolbar'''
# "Ctrl+Shift+A" (Add-ons Manager)
# Select Puzzle piece on left-side for Extensions List
# Find "Yahoo Toolbar" and click on "Uninstall" button, and restart Firefox. ''(if you really need to keep the Yahoo toolbar, you can hide the toolbar instead with customize, and still change all the search defaults as below)''
'''Then to fix the default search engine''' used at the Location Bar, change the value of '''keyword.URL''' in '''about:config''' to one of the values shown in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Location_Bar_search#Location_Bar_search_.28external_-_search_engine.29 Location Bar search] at MozillaZine.

# if the warning message nonsense comes up uncheck the box '''before''' dismissing the dialog message
# '''filter on keyword'''
# right-click on '''keyword.URL''' and choose "modify" then paste in the Google search engine string of your choice.
# # '''filter on keyword'''

# right-click on '''yahoo.ytff.search.popup_src''' ''(if it exists)'' and again choose "modify" then paste in the Google search engine string of your choice, if adventurous might see if "reset" would remove and see if gone in next session (well not for those keeping the extension).

Purpose of the Address Book and the Bookmarks Menu

What is the purpose of the Address Book and the Bookmarks Menu under the show all bookmarks? What is a useful way to use the two? Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
In Address Book, you have the option of entering a web site address in an individual's record. In Safari, by selecting Address Book in System Preferences>Bookmarks, you can access a list of these web addresses via either the Bookmarks Menu or Bookmarks Bar.
Entries in the Bookmarks Menu are one way to enter, sort or access specific bookmarks. My preference is to access my Bookmarks via the Bookmarks Bar. More information can be found via the Safari Help menu (enter Bookmarks in Help's spotlight panel.
