It's been a VERY long time since I last used Maya.  I'm using Maya 2014.  I remember there being some controls at the top of the screen which would rotate, pan, and zoom the SCREEN (not the object, per se - those are done with the controls on the left).

 

I can't find these controls at all, and I'm having trouble manipulating the screen without them.  Can anyone direct me on where to find them?  There's a double-headed arrow that zooms you in & out, a plus-shaped thing (if I remember right) that pans, and another control that rotates the screen.

Well, that gives me the tools - except there used to be a toolbar for it (like if you click on curves, you get all the curve tools); I remember being able to click on the icon for the tool I needed, rather than selecting from the menu.

Hi!

 

I don't remember such a Shelf Tab, but there is a shelf named "General" that can be loaded manually.

Click on the Shelf menu ( button at the left side of the Shelf)  and then:

Load Shelf... -> shelf_General.mel

 

You can also use the "Custom" tab or create a new Shelf and then add there all tools you need.

For further help, please show a screenshot of what you are missing.
