i think i hit something in Live 5 that made my file menu at the top "hidden", and when i upgraded to L6, its the same way. I cant find the preference to bring it back! ive tried a bunch of keyboard shortcuts also, no luck.

am i missing something?

yeah, im feelin pretty dumb right about now.

there is a little arrow somewhere on the top left of your page, it's more of a triangle than an arrow, click it.

thanks Johnisfaster, but thats the device browser within Live.

im talking about the OS based menu that's across the top of the screen (MAC OSX). where you access File/Save As and exporting commands... that is the menu that is missing...

please help!? this seems silly that i cant get it back

the little icon is actually at the bottom right. it's a teensy tiny little arrow in a colored box

or else try ye olde f11 key

Same bullshit happened to me--and my window was so fucked there wasn't that miniature arrow bottom right, so I kept pressing command/function/option etc. + f11 and this is what worked for me. . .

alt/option + f11

resized my entire screen to an appropriate size.

hope that helps : )

It’s def the little tiny thing at the bottom right of the screen — if your problem was that you couldn’t see the File menu.
