The spotlight is missing  on the top bar.. how can i fix this?

The spotlight is missing on the top bar of my MacBook Pro.. How can i fix this problem?

This could be a serious issue, I would contact Apple, if the following does not work.
You can try a SMC reset:
Power off, press left side shift,control,option.
Power up and hold the keys before the start up chime, hold them till the gear stops spinning.
As you do not say which os you are running, this can only be a guess.
If you provide more detailed info, you might get a better response.

  • Why can I nolonger use a site a black key appears in the address bar how can I fix this?

  • Even though it used to, the installed DownloadHelper add-on no longer shows in the toolbar at the top. How can I fix this?

    This add-on shows up in the list of Add-Ons, but does not show up in the toolbar, nor does it activate for potential downloads as it did before.

    Thanks very much, Cor-el. That worked perfectly!

    @Naiks, having suffered through unsuccessful synching attempts for Calendar and Contacts myself, l would suggest you try the following:
    UNINSTALL iCloud control panel from your PC. Seems silly, but do it.
    Go into Outlook, and look at the very top menu. Click FILE, then ACCOUNT SETTINGS, then click the popup box.
    You will see a list of all your email accounts. Make sure that ONE of them has a checkmark against it. If not, select the account your want as your default, and click "set as default.
    Exit out of Outlook and reboot your machine.
    Now reinstall iCloud, check CALENDAR and CONTACTS, and do as instructed when prompted.
    Reboot for good luck and now launch OUTLOOK. All that remains is to locate your iCloud Contacts and Calendar files, and make them your default.
    IMPORTANT: Don't panic if you can't find your contacts -- they're there. Click CONTACTS and you'll see you have several available contact files. Locate the one label "iCloud" in grey type. Right-click on it, select PROPERTIES, then click the Outlook Address Book tab. Check the box that says something like "Make this my default Outlook Address Book." Keep clicking "apply" and "okay" until you've exited out of the dialog box maze.
    You may have to do something similar with your Calendar files. I dd not, but if you need to, do it.
    Everything should now sync pretty seamlessly.
    I didn't have the exact same problem as you, but my dilemma was close enough. Good luck!

  • I own a 13-inch MacBook Pro and for the past day, my wifi on my laptop says I only have two bars of connection and is running very slow,but all of my other devices such as my iPhone and iPad are connecting perfectly to the wifi. How can I fix this? Thanks

    I own a 13-inch MacBook Pro and for the past day, my wifi on my laptop says I only have two bars of connection and is running very slow,but all of my other devices such as my iPhone and iPad are connecting perfectly to the wifi. How can I fix this? I have tried to shut my laptop off and let it rest and I have also re-started my wifi router three different times. Someone please help me with this problem so I can begin to use my laptop again as I take it to school and use it for class.
    Thanks so much!

    FCP, and all software on OSX, has a few different "preference" files (the extension is .plist), which store all your user settings. Each time you resize a window, change a setting, anything, this file is re-written. Kinda easy to see how they would become corrupt every now and then.
    -Close FCP
    -Navigate to User>Library>Preferences and delete com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist
    -Navigate to User>Library>Preferences>Final Cut Pro User Data and delete Final Cut Pro 5.0 Prefs
    -Empty your trash
    Relaunch FCP and see if that worked.
    Download FCP Rescue to make this process easier in the future. When you have FCP running really smooth, open FCP Rescue and create a backup of your preference files. If it starts acting wanky, just run FCP Rescue and Restore your backup preferences. Works really slick, and it's free.
    EDIT: Or use the really simple explaination that X posted as I was typing.

    I all ready installed itunes to my pc, which is a windows 7. It says it syncs, but it doesnt transfer nothing from my iphone to the computer. How can I fix this issue

    And it won't by design and intention since you are not syncing your iPhone with your iTunes library on your computer. 
    If you have authorized the computer with your iTunes account with iTunes, with your iPhone connected - at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.  
    For contacts and calendar events, is Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 available?

  • I have iTunes open in Windows XP and get an error 45048 message when I try to update apps thru the store. How can I fix this? I have reinstalled iTunes twice.

    I have iTunes, latest version, open in Windows XP and get an error 45048 message when I try to update apps thru the store. How can I fix this? I have reinstalled iTunes twice but problem continues.

    Try contacting iTunes via email to check if there is an issue with the account. go to apple.com/support/itunes
    Click on iTunes Store account and billing and select inquiries. On the right side click on "email us".
    Before doing that trying viewing your account information first. Open the iTunes on you mac, look at the menu and select store and select view my account. Try removing the card (this is only applicable if you don't have a pending charges with iTunes) and hit done. Sign out, quit iTunes and sign back in and try updating the apps again.

    "Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

    No matter where I go, as soon as I turn on the Internet on my new Mac Book Pro, everyone else is no longer able to use the Internet. How can I fix this? I received it as a gift for college, but its hard to do research when everyone constantly yells at me to get off because they can no longer continue what they're doing.

    " how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
    You cannot.  Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
    it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
    Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content.

    Take it back where you got and and get your money back.
    As has been pointed out, if there was a "previous owner", the phone is not "new". Thephone you purchased is most likely stolen. If whoever you bought it from won't give you your money back, turn it over to the police.

  • My iTunes won't scroll all the way to the bottom. How can I fix this?

    I have a large library, and I can't scroll all the way to the bottom. This is the same for the iTunes homepage, and any other pages, so that I cannot get to the bottom of the page. How can I fix this?

    ''downloads won't open from the Download List:''
    The Downloads Manager ("Ctrl+J") is more like a log of downloads, it does not verify that the download still exits. Make sure you are setup to download to a permanent location, not into temporary files that get cleaned by the browser or by CCCleaner or something designed to clear out temporary files.
    Tools > Options > General > Downloads: ...
    Tools > Options > Privacy > [x] Remember download history
    Don't clear your download history automatically, but having a lot there whether they exist or not, can slow down Firefox at least it was an issue:

    Erica from Apple support:  Your efforts to help on this subject are appreciated.  However, during my wait for your supervisor, just when I stepped away from my desk for a moment you must have picked up your phone again.  When I heard a noise (other than the hold music) I rushed back to my desk only to hear you hang up.  When the phone rang and the ANI said "Apple support" I tried to pick up but you were gone by the time I got the button pressed.
    Hopefully you'll see this note and leave a message on how to resolve this issue for me and the others from other similar questions posed on this forum.
    Thanks,

    I am trying to update my ipad 2 but it keeps telling me that it isn't eligible for the requested build how can i fix this problem

    This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, followTroubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
    Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
    Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.
