10.5.2 No option for menu bar transparency on Mac Pro...?

After updating my MacBook Pro to the latest, I was able to see and use the new menu bar transparency setting. Unfortunately, I cannot see the option on my quad core Mac Pro. Could it be due to the fact that I run multiple monitors? I am quite surprised that the option doesn't even appear in the System Preferences.
Any insight is appreciated. Thanks.
Carl

Try downloading the 10.5.2 combo update (http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1052comboupdate .html), and installing that.
Before and after installing, repair permissions (go to Disk Utility (/Applications/Utilities), click Macintosh HD, and click "Repair Disk Permissions".)
Good luck!

thanks for reporting back with your details - turning off HWA might have slight negative effects on the performance/rendering speed of the browser but it shouldn't impact any functionality.
i've seen a handful similar threads by users mentioning this issue since they've upgraded to firefox 18. so when it is a widespread problem, mozilla might further investigate this & offer a fix in a later version...

How to set skin for Menu bar

I am doing a get Skin from Menu bar, but it returns null. Is there a way to set the skin for menu bar. I tried other alternatives like setting new com.sun .java fx.sce ne .control.skin.Menu BarSkin() but it doesn't work.
Please help.

The skin isn't set on the control until the next pulse after the control has been added to the scene-graph. In other words, you cannot do
MenuBar menuBar = new MenuBar();
Skin skin = menuBar.getSkin();because the MenuBar has not yet been added to the scene-graph. Nor can you do
MenuBar menuBar = new MenuBar();
((Group)scene.getRoot()).getChildren().add(menuBar);
Skin skin = menuBar.getSkin();because the skin isn't set until the next pulse. There are many ways you can get the skin. The easiest is to just set the skin yourself:
MenuBar menuBar = new MenuBar();
menuBar.setSkin(new com.sun.javafx.scene.control.skin.MenuBarSkin(menuBar));Or you can add a listener to the skinProperty of the Control and grab it when it is set.

HT1338 how can i see the icon of mirroring options on menu bar?

i did check the mirroring options on menu bar in the system preferences - display but nothing happens, i don't see the icon in the menu bar HELP!!!!!!!
Does anybody knows why there's no icon of mirroring options or airplay on the menu bar ( i have a macbook pro and imac with mountain lion running )

Your Macs are probably too "old". Apple is pushing AirPlay and unless you have a newer (2011+) Mac, you'll never get the Displays menu bar icon back in its previous form. It is possible to get the icon to appear on your menu bar, however, your only option will be to "Open Display Preferences". You won't be able to detect displays, adjust brightness or change resolutions from the menu bar...
It *****.

How do I get rid of the menu bar icon on Mac OS?

The Creative Cloud menu bar icon on Mac OS is pretty much useless since I already have icons for all the apps and don't use Adobe Cloud storage. Anyone know how to get it off my menu bar? The menu bar is MY space. I ought to have control over what goes there. If every application starts dumping stuff there it will quickly become a mess. I want the option to turn this off.
Thanks!

Most videos play "inline", not full screen, on Safari on iPad. You can use a quick "reverse pinch" gesture (as if you were zooming in, but more of a quick flick than a slow zoom) on top of the video to make it full screen.

Seriously Apple, why can't Leopard render a transparent menu bar on my Mac?

I have a 2-year-old PowerBook 12" 1.5 GHz running Leopard 10.5.2 freshly updated today. I thought for sure I'd get to see a translucent menu bar but, no, still opaque as ever with no option to change.
Apple, let me tell you some of the things this pretty capable computer can do:
-Dynamically render transparency and reflections in a magnifying Dock
-Dynamically render transparency in Terminal windows with varying levels of transparency
-Render GPU-intensive animations such as Genie effect, rotating cube, and dashboard "splash"
-Hey, I can even boot into Linux, run Gnome, and make it's menu bar transparent!
Please stop telling me my computer is not compatible enough to display a translucent menu bar. Displaying the transparency in the menu bar has got to be one of the least intensive operations Leopard will do. It is a static image (save for seldom changing menu items) that rarely needs to be re-rendered. Terminal windows, however, get resized, dragged around and display their transparency beautifully.
Let's get some straight answers as to why this simple issue of getting a Transparent menu bar consistently displayed (ot not displayed, by choice) across all of your "compatible" hardware is such a confusing mystery.
Thanks for fixing the Stacks, at least.

Thanks for your input. While you may not mind a solid menu bar, I quite like it and would like to have one. My main gripe however, is the fact that this really just seems like some bug that Apple isn't willing to focus on, or admit to.
They say the graphics card can render "most effects" but not the menu bar. But, seriously, as I've mentioned before, why can it render transparent drop-down menus, transparent Terminal windows, transparent/reflective Dock, Dashboard ripple effect but not a simple, basic, transparent menu?
Once I get a decent answer to this, I'll be satisfied. Because right now, telling me my 64MB graphics card can't handle it seems like a load of bulls**t.

Menu bar transparency

hi,
i recently upgraded to 10.5.2 and im having no problems with it, but i have noticed that apple has tweaked the menu bar transparency...
is there any way of reverting it back to what it was? i think it looked a lot nicer...

Search these forums for translucent and review the hits. IIRC, no.

I have created PDF from hardcopy by using my scanner. After I run OCR option for my PDF by using Acrobat Pro 9. But "Text-to-speech" functionality of the PDF says that an error message comes up that says the page is empty when I turns on the read out loud

I have created PDF from hardcopy by using my scanner. After I run OCR option for my PDF by using Acrobat Pro 9. But "Text-to-speech" functionality of the PDF says that an error message comes up that says the page is empty when I turns on the read out loud option in Acrobat. Kindly help me to sortout this problems?

So I tried generating the same PDFs on two other computers that have Acrobat 9 Pro. Results were reproduced. The verdict is:
- complex PDF files (that is, containing cross-references, tables of contents, and bookmarks) generated by Acrobat 9.x Pro are roughly 2-5x larger than the identical file generated with Acrobat 8.x Pro.
- different PDF conversion settings make a negligable difference (less than 10% rather than 70-80%).
- using the "Reduce File Size" or "Optimize PDF" option cuts the file size roughly in half, almost always resulting in a "image downsampling mask" warning message, which requires acknowledgement (that is a problem for batch processing or automation).
- adding an Acrobat watermark to the file cuts the file size roughly in half.
- just using Save As to another filename has no effect on file size.
- generating the PDF in Acrobat 9 with links but no PDF bookmarks still results in the inflated file size.
- generating the PDF in Acrobat 9 without any links or bookmarks results in approximately the same file size as the Acrobat 8 PDF with full links and bookmarks.
It appears that Acrobat 9's manner of adding links is what's bloating the files, and in my case it's probably not related to images or image resolution/print quality. It's a shame, because Acrobat 9 seems to have made some improvements to the Review Tracker interface, and a few other bells and whistles which I haven't really gotten around to exporing yet. But unless I find a way to keep my links and the PDF file sizes comparable to what I was getting with Acrobat 8 Pro, it looks like I'm going to stay with Acrobat 8.

10.5.2 Menu Bar Transparent - CRASH

I installed 10.5.2 via Software Update. When I got into the Desktop & Screen Saver Preference Panel and click on the checkbox to turn off menu bar transparency, the Preferences application immediately crashes and I get that window asking if I want to send an error report to Apple. This happens every time, even if I restart. Obviously a bug, but my hope is that someone can post a workaround because I would love to turn off transparency without having to install a third party hack to do it. I'm using a brand new computer, only about two weeks old, and I haven't installed any weird third party applications or hacks or anything like that.

After about a half dozen crashes in a row, this time it works. I wish I could post what fixed it, but I guess it doesn't matter as long as my Preferences app is no longer crashing.
And now I have a solid menu bar back again! Much better.

Is it OK to use USB 2.0 connection for Glyph external drive and Mac Pro as project drive?

Is it OK to use a USB 2.0 connection for Glyph external drive and Mac Pro as project drive? I was told by Sweetwater tech support to use Firewire, but both the FW400 and FW800 connections crash my audio interface software mixer (Presonus' "Universal Control" software).
Both Firewire connections also create a 10 second hang for each Command-Save that I do.
USB 2.0 for the external drive seems to be working so far, but is there some reason I should be wary of using this as my go-to project drive? In other words, I am imagining that there was probably some definite reason that the tech support guy mentioned not to use it. But maybe not. It's a brand new Glyph. In any event, it's nice to have the 10 second hang eliminated, and I was just looking for some advice, since digging into the Presonus software issue could take some time.

If you have a mac pro, why not stick the external HDD inside via one of your many SATA cables & have it run 9 times faster than your USB?
Or stick a HDD CADDY in your mac pro, so you can slot in a full sized 3TB HDD for recording, and when you are done, pull it out & slip it in an external enclosure if you need to take it places?

Mirroring option in menu bar not showing in Moutain Lion

Under Displays I have selected to show the mirroring options menu bar but nothing shows up. Is anyone else having this problem

1. this thread isn't even about airplay mirroring.
2. Oh my god. www.apple.com/airplay Is that simple enough for you?
3. your inability to read (or comprehend) the original post in this thread is likely the same reason you weren't able to figure out that airplay mirroring wouldn't be supported on your machine
Sorry it toke me a while to get back at you. My discussion is not about the AirPlay portion of Mirroring, but simply about the Display Menu in the Statue Bar.
