Why can't I access the 'not enough items' tab?
I can't access the NotEnoughItems tab and I've tried switching between survival and creative mode.
I can see the option button down to the left but I can't see the items tab to the right. What should I do?
Edit: I found the solution on my own. I had apparently changed the GUI scale option to auto Which is too big, you want to have it on large or normal.
You can find the GUI scale option in Options>Video Settings.

In the inventory screen with the NEI mod installed, you can access the item tab only if you're in:
- The inventory tab in the Creative Menu
- In Creative+ mode
- In Survival/Adventure
Alternatively, if it's not appearing at all: Try pressing O in the inventory screen, and/or enable cheatmode.
There is a bug where the items tab (on the far right) displays nothing at all. You should also notice that the page number is higher than the maximum page number. (ie. Page 5 / 2)
Simply go back into the range (in this case, Page 1 or 2) and the items should clear again.
Another thing is that you may have searched for something and then forgotten to clear the search filter. (ie. You searched for 'asdfasdfas' and nothing came up, as no item contain 'asdfasdfas' in it.)

Answer 2
In order to access the not enough items tab, you must change your gamemode to Creative+. If not, then the panel will not show up and you will only see normal vanilla Minecraft GUIs. To change to Creative+, you must either click the "Change gamemode" button on the top left corner of the panel.
You can also uninstall NotEnoughItems and install it again, if the above solution doesn't work.
Answer 3
As far as I know, NEI can not grant you items, change game mode and do all such cheaty stuff if you have cheats disabled when creating a world.
Answer 4
You've found a bug. Go to single player, and load a world and it should work. Go back to Multiplayer, and it should still be working. Not sure why this is happening again.
