All the menu drop downs are empty and cannot open files or elements of the Office?

Is anyone know why and / or how to fix this?

Any help much appreciated. Thank you

Have you tried the start safe mode and login once prompted?

You may be able to test the system once started in this way;

See, also, if the second user accounts with the same problem.

• Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning - Apple Support

You may find that the foregoing may help; If this isn't the case, other things to try include:

You may be able to boot into OS X Recovery and use disk utility it

to repair the drive (not only the permissions) if regular repair permissions

do not work or seem to help, after a reboot in safe mode. You can

fix permissions of the drive then in safe mode, and then restart.

  • Some features of menu drop-down are not at all.

    When I go to http://www.usanetwork.com/, the home page has a group of items that are displayed in the upper part of the screen: shows, videos, featured, annex. Each has an arrow to its right.
    IE, if I click on one of these arrows down the lower part of the screen overlap with the point that I wanted to see. for example, a list of the USA shows.
    This does not happen in Firefox; None of the dropdown arrows to show me anything. I get a scroll left-right downstairs bar, but if I try to move the cursor on it, it disappears. If I try to use the arrow keys, the screen jitters just a little left and right.
    This is just one example; There are many other websites that have the same behavior.

    I followed the "Basic troubleshooting" steps upward through and tier 6 inclusive (reset your Firefox settings) does not. The arrows of course still do not work. Because this problem occurs on more than one of my computers, I don't think that it is installing Firefox and am not the will of the reinstall.

    I've found a workaround, however. I installed the add-on 'IE View 1.4.5.3' and marked the problem pages still open in Internet Explorer. It is not the most elegant solution, but it works for me.

    Thanks to cor - el for the suggestion led me to try basic troubleshooting.

  • lost the top with drop-down menus bar and cannot find my address book. How can I put things back as if they were?

    I don't know how to get the upper tool back bar. I managed to lose. It's a problem now, when I hit the Inbox that I can't put in my e-mails, unless I got to the homepage and press 'get messages.'
    I would get my return format and don't know what to do to get it back. Help.

    Click top and select again the menu bar and the toolbar. You may need to explore everything until you find the right place to get these options.

    Once you have the Menu on a show, view | Page layout | The folders pane might be what you need to bring other elements in the view.

  • addresses of Firefox in the navigation bar are missing/replaced by different menu drop down

    When I type in an address, the drop down menu no longer contains the same list of addresses as always. Instead, there is a list of locations (less actual addresses www.com beneath each) in bold and some places are repeated in the menu drop down but take me to a different site. Its a game guessing where Im going when I click on one. Next to each entry, there is a magnifying glass icon which was not there before. I was search playback for almost 3 hours trying to trouble shoot the issue and Ive tried to restore default with no luck. It's really annoying me... Any suggestions?

  • Out of script in the menu drop-down model, is it possible and how?

    Hi all

    I started working with the vRealize today, my goal is to receive the output of the workflow of the script or in the drop-down field as a plan of action.

    For the first question, I want to ask you if it is possible in the vRealize or it is not difficult to do.

    For now, I wrote the script with return of table .

    The com.commonlab.emapotaa.scripts/getList function is:

    var arg0 = ["test", "test2"];
    return arg0;
    

    And my settings are:

    Capture.PNG

    My goal is to get the JSON content crawled to the drop-down list.

    For now I made the script runs every minute for the list and save it to file, the script will load content from the file parse for array and return as a drop-down list, but his does not work even with primitive table and return.

    It is possible at all?

    You have any ideas, how do I get the output of the script in the menu drop-down entry?

    Thank you!

    Hi, it works very well for now, simple return works do not know why it was not working before
