Missing menu items from the Apple Menu
I finally found a terminal command for changing the Simple Finder interface back to the Standard interface and it did the trick ;)

defaults write com.apple.finder InterfaceLevel standard;killall Finder


Got this from http://www.amsys.co.uk/2013/blog/how-to-quickly-enable-os-x-finders-simple-finder-mode/#.VI9WasZINv1

Thanks for the troubleshoot suggestions. It helped get me headed in the right direction.
