Display profiles via a pull down menu from menu bar?

I'm often switching my display profiles on my iBook-- depending on sunlight, lighting conditions, etc.
Is there any software or Apple setting that would give me a pull down menu of my choices from the menu bar?
Right now I have the monitors or whatever it is on my menu bar, but that requires multiple steps-- selecting Displays Preferences, waiting for it to come up, then clicking on the Color Tab, and finally picking one of the display profiles.
I'd much rather have a one-step pull down menu. Anything like that?
Also what does "Recent Items" mean in that menu?

Open the AppleScript Utility in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder and check the box to display the script menu. One of the choices in the script menu under ColorSync will enable you to change your display profile. If you know the names and paths of the profiles, additional scripts can be created that would change it in a single step. The lines of code needed are:
tell application "ColorSyncScripting"
run
set display profile of display 1 to alias "path:to:profile"
quit
end

  • HT5037 I clicked the finder icon and pulled down the Finder menu and never found a "go" menu.  Where is the ******* go menu?

    I am trying to install the update on iPhoto on my newMac laptop.  It tell me to go to finder and hit the "go meu" in the finder.   pulled down the go menu at the top of the screen and the finder icon on the bottom of ther screen.  Where is this "go menu?  Apple used to be inutitive - it is getting as hard to operate as Microsfot was in the beginning of the 200s.

    Hisdoc,
    This is a user to user forum. So, you cannot expect an instant answer - it is not a live chat.
    Not sure why you can't find the "Go" option. It is in the top menu:

  • Ichat drop down menu from menu bar shows up in the wrong place.

    I'm not sure how this happened, but for some reason, ever since I've moved to college, my Ichat drop down menu from the menu bar shows up on the left side of my screen, and you can only see half of the menu. I don't know how to fix this problem so if anyone could help me out that would be great.
    Sincerely,

    Yep.
    Go to the Buddy List Status Message and option the Edit option.
    Delete that Status Message that you have that is over 42 characters.
    Ones of about 60 or more will introduce the "Left Shift" (And the fact the drop Down may line up with the right hand edge of the Menu Bar icon on in-between lengths)
    In Snow Leopard it is possible to have a Long Message that displaces the Drop Down Off Screen.
    The other factor is the order of the Menu Bar Icons on that side of the Screen
    The iChat one can be Dragged if you use the Apple (CMD) key.
    If the Drop Down can not fit the message in before the right hand edge of the Screen it will displace.

  • When I right click a link or pull down the new menu in Firfox 4 it twitches and disappears. What's the fix for this?

    I downloaded and installed the new Firefox4 yesterday and when I right click links to open them in a new tab or copy something it will blink on and off (twitch) then disappear. I can still click where I saw the option and it'll work, but it's really annoying.
    The pull down Firefox tab where the save as buttons, new tab, bookmarks and all that jazz does the same thing.
    It's REALLY frustrating.

    Hi guys
    I had this problem and resolved it by going to
    Options> Advanced Tab> General (on the same page) and unticking "use auto scrolling".
    You can leave smooth scrolling on however :)
    Hope this helps

  • Options does not appear when I pull down the Tools menu.

    Cannot find Options option. Trying to manage my downloads. Found suggestion online but cannot find "Options" in "General" as described.

    Hello,
    The Mac interface is slightly different than Windows. You can find your Preferences (as it is called on Mac and Linux) under the "Edit" menu, or by clicking:
    * Firefox Menu [[Image: New Fx Menu]]
    From there the steps should be the same as in Windows (Download options can be found under the General Tab).
    * For more information please see [[Startup, home page and download settings]]

  • With the latest upgrade to 7.0.1 the Url's that appear on on the pull down of the URL bar, are in a different order and one that doesn't appear to have any logic to it. what determines the order?

    In the past, the URL's used seemed to be in order of use. The sites I went to most often were at the top of the pull down list. Now they are jumbled.
    FWIW, I find this feature to be very useful. I use it routinely as a very quick way to get back to sites I visit most frequently. I use the bookmark bar for secondary sites, and bookmarks for tertiary sites.

    I followed the instructions in your first link, but I don't have a user.js file, and in any event, the instructions there aren't really relevant. The problem isn't that Firefox doesn't remember this setting, it's that I can't set Firefox to put a New Tab button on my Navigation bar in the first place because it's not in the list of items I can select. And yes, I've tried restoring the default set several different times with no effect. I know that the button exists, because I can see it on the copy on my laptop, even after the upgrade. The only thing I haven't tried (maybe) is disabling all plugins, so I'll try that and report back.

  • Speed opening Script menu from top bar

    Hello,
    Just recently I noticed that opening the scripts menu from the universal menu across the top of the screen seems to take longer and longer to open as a work day passes.
    There are about 10 files in there with more contained in 6 more folders; so not what I consider to be a huge amount to cause such a stall.
    It takes about 20 seconds for the Waiting Pointer to stop and the menu to show.
    Has anybody else observed this behaviour?
    On my previous main computer an iBook G4 I never experienced this behaviour.

    Hi,
    I think the number on the bar is not the culprit, I also have almost 50 favorite items, but IE works fine with these items. Anyway, you can reduce the number as a test, check if the issue is related with the storage.
    Remove the item from the Favorites Bar, then re-add, check the result.
    Click Tools\Internet Options\General\Delete... delete the browser histry, cookies, temporary internet files, and so on.
    Click Tools\Manage add-ons, disable all add-ons, check if issue persists, if issue disappers, then one or more add-ons might be the culprit, we can try the add-on one-by-one to find the cause.

  • Is there an Add On that automatically stores history to a file? Even if the history has been manually "cleared" via the pull down and dialog box? I need to monitor the history on my teenager, who knows how to clear history.

    I know this might be considered "stalking" to a certain degree, but I am interested in my teenagers internet safety and an Add-On that can help parents would be great...

    This is probably a loosing battle. Next you will need to ensure the teenager can not make a new profile, install another browser, or use a totaly different OS from other media. Once you have done all that you are unlikely to prevent internet access from mobiles internet cafes and friends devices.
    I am sure others may make suggestions, but simply installing spyware is not likely to be the best philosphy.

  • How can I cancel itunes match without the latest version of itunes? I can't get the drop down menu from the store

    I have a mac which doesn't support the new itunes. The instructions I have from apple say that I have to use a pull down store menu from the itunes store and then I should be able to view my account and cancel by turning off the auto renew button next to itune match, The only trouble is I can't see the itune match at all.

    Turning off the auto-renew does not cancel the service. To actually cancel, or turn off the service, you need to contact iTunes Store support. What the instructions are are getting is telling you to do is to cancel the auto-renew. You can accomplish that by, in iTunes:
    1. Pull down the Store menu and select "view account."
    2. Enter your credentials when prompted.
    3. In the middle of the page click the hightlight button:

  • My status bar won't pull down and I can't use the search/menu buttons at the top of sony/stock apps

    Hi. I recently bought a Sony XPERIA SP and have been using it for a week. Yesterday I turned on my phone to download an app and the search/menu buttons at the top of the screen in the play store wouldn't work. I tried using the buttons that appear at the top in Walkman, Album, and Messaging, and they didn't work either. I then received a text and swiped down on my notification bar a few times but that wouldn't work either. Weirdly, the notification bar will only pull down in landscape mode. Help please?

    It's quite easy for me to answer this question, your phone is water damaged. I used to have Sony Xperia Z and which was water damaged too, I couldn't pull down the notification/illumination bar. The water entered through your speaker at the top which happened to me. It's quite notable that you'll have to spend like half of the price of your phone to fix this issue...but I have something easy round for you. You should place that phone in a polythene bag for 3 days minimum with full of dried rice and every path ways that water can enter should be opened up. 'Cause mostly water damaged phones are fixed by rice because rice s-u-cks every water out of your phone. Note: Now I'm SP user. Had to sell that old phone after fixing the issue.  Hit Kudo if I helped you. 

  • What is/are the keyboard shortcut if I want to pull down a menu item?

    What is the keyboard command to pull down a finder menu item? Say I want
    to browse the finder menus, without a mouse?

    Although that's listed in the document, It does nothing on my machine and it is enabled in Keyboard Shortcuts. So, if you know the steps to get it working, that would be appreciated. Wired, extended Apple keyboard.
    EDIT: Need CONTROLfnF2, which requires two hands, to make it work. IMO, it's much asier to just use the mouse.

  • Windows 7 PC's not pulling down updates as per GPO

    Good Morning All,
    I would really appreciate some help.
    I am seeing that most of my Windows 7 Client PC's are not pulling down updates from our Windows 2012 with WSUS Version: 6.2.9200.16384.
    All PC's are in a security group called User_Windows-7 and have a the WSUS GPO linked to that, below are my WSUS settings:
    As you can see I have specified the WSUS server for the clients to see VIA IP with the port number for WSUS (I read this was recommended - Can this be confirmed)
    Many thanks for anyone reading and contributing.

    Event ID 364

    Regarding this comment in an earlier post:
    (This is the first time I've installed WSUS so wasn't 100% on how it worked).
    May I be so impertinent as to suggest that it might be worth your while to open up the
    product documentation and actually learn how the product works?
