After preferences have been opened and closed, instead of folding back into the menu bar a grey square stays in the far left hand corner of my screen. This is then replicated on every screen. I can't seem to solve this, any ideas?

After using the preference pane, it does not fold away back into the finder bar but leaves a grey square in the top left corner of the screen. When I switch to another screen within spaces, the grey square still appears.

I have the exact same problem.. I tried disabling all add-ons and I'm only using the default theme... still no change. Whenever I close the preferences window it becomes an obtrusive grey square in the top left corner of the screen. It even obscures other open applications and won't disappear until I quit Firefox...

When I try to search from the address bar I get: jar:file:///C:/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Firefox/omni.jar!/chrome/en-US/locale/browser-region/region.propertieswhatthehell What can I do to solve this problem?

I don't know when this started but I can't seem to remedy it. I've updated several times but have not uninstall/reinstalled FF. I'd like to do that only if I have to because I'd like to keep my saved info if possible. I'm not computer illiterate but I'm not a tech either so I need fairly basic instructions if it's at all possible.

This issue can be caused by the Ask.com toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

I "upgraded" to FF5 and now have no refresh or stop icons in the menu bar, nor are they available on the "personalize" menu. How do I get them back?

Question
I "upgraded" to FF5 and now have no refresh or stop icons in the menu bar, nor are they available on the "personalize" menu. How do I get them back?

The idea is that the button on the end of the location gar is smart and changes between being a stop or a reload button. It is a stop button whilst loading and a reload button once loaded.
The buttons can be dragged off the customise menu, or if they are already on the toolbar they may be re-positioned, they combine depending on the order they are in, separate them or move them so they swap places, instead of docking with the location bar.

I have a macbook and I'm having trouble backing up my pictures on an external hard drive. The Macbook won't install the backup drive soft ware? It is a new Sea Gate hard rive from costco.

You don't want to install the software that came with the drive, you don't need it and it will be problematic. Connect the new drive, open Disk Utility, select the new drive and partition it using the GUID partition scheme, then format it as Mac OS extended journaled and it will be easy to use with your Mac.

When I go to a web page, that page appears upper left, filling only half of my screen top and bottom. Each time I have to go to the menu bar View and go to full page. How can I get the web pages to display in the full screen automatically??? This just started happening.

Can't put my clock back into my menu bar

I had some operating glitches with my 27" iMac running on 10.8.3 yesterday so I verified my permissions using Disk Utility. However, since I did this, I can't get my clock back into the menu bar. When I access it in System Prefs, and click on 'Clock' I get a beachball for a while. Then it allows me to check 'show date and time in menu bar'. But after some more spinning ball, it unchecks the box itself. What's going on? Anybody know?

Thanks! I had done that, but not re-started properly. All good now.

Help! Cursor stays frozen in top left hand corner after startup

The cursor won't budge and I cannot get to the menu bar to enable the keyboard controls. It's not the mouse- I have a G4 PowerPC also and have tried two that work fine on the G4. I restarted holding down the O-option key and the cursor moved to the field the screen instruction asked for, but then nothing. I tried changing the battery though the replacement one I had didn't fit. Does this mean a journey to the Apple Store for a battery? I'm distraught as all my working files are on the eMac and even using a firewire cable would not let me transfer my files to my G4.

Hey Tim and Welcome to Apple Discussions,
I tried changing the battery though the replacement one I had didn't fit.
Here's the right battery and the best price:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/BAA36VPRAM/
However I don't think a dead battery would cause this problem.
So you can start up your eMac it's just that the cursor freezes?
Here's a page on "Target" mode:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
So if it will go into target mode you'll need a FireWire 400 cable to hook it to your G4 Tower. If the hard drive is going bad you might be able to recover whats there by drag copying.
If not try Data Rescue 3:

The demo is free and if the scan comes up w/ anything you can download 5 MB for free otherwise $99 to activate the full up version.

I have a VI with menu barattached i want to remove the menu bar.I am able to remove the menu bar in run continuously mode.but not in normal mode how do i do it in normal mode

I have a VI with menu bar.I am able to remove menu bar in continuous mode by setting window appearence.But i want the menu bar to be removed at normal mode also.How do i do it

You can trun off the menu while the VI is running by going into the VI properties (right click on the VI icon and select 'Properties). Then from the Catagory selestion box, select Window Appearance, click the Customize button, then uncheck the Show Menu Bar check box and hit OK twice. That shold do it.
Note that this will only turn off the menu while the VI is running. The standard menu will always be showing when the VI is not running.

Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.

I can not get itunes to open after I have downloaded it and closed it and tried to get bck into it

I can't get itunes to open after i download it. I close it to come back to it and it won't open or anything like it wasn't downloaded at all. Help please

The file that I'm have issues with in itunes is the file called iTunes Libary.itl.
So just to get itunes to open I had to delete that file and then sync all of my music back into itunesday, is there anyway so I do not have to keep doing that?

Applications wont open after they have been opened once.

Hi. I have had this problem since i got the Mac Pro. Unless i open my applications as soon as i turn on the computer, i most likely will not be able to open them later. I also have a problem when after i have opened an application, i probably wont be able to open it again unless i restart. this happens with games and other programs like office for mac. anyone else having this problem and know of a way to fix it?
Thanks.

Your system sounds like you need to do more troubleshooting and maintenance.
Running Disk Utility to repair your drive and permissions. Check your drive's health and SMART status. Run Disk Warrior 4, too.
And clean out cache files and folders.
When I setup a drive, first thing I do is erase it with the zero-all option, then install and update.
Maybe you installed something that is interfering. Also, 2GB RAM helps.
Any 3rd party hardware like USB or anything?
More than 1GB RAM is essential, but you have something else, and need to provide more details probably. Also, run the Apple Hardware Test which is on Install Disk #1.

Why have all my previous "My Ratings" (stars) have been removed and Smart Albums(i.e. 5 star rating in past year) virtually destroyed in the update to the new Photos program? Where are the "My Ratings" capabilities ?

Upon updating to the new Photos program, all the previous "My Ratings" (1-5 stars) for photos have been removed. Why? My "Smart Albums" using the "My Ratings", i.e. photos with a 5 star rating within the past year, have been virtually destroyed in the update. The updates "modified" Smart
Album deleted the "My Ratings" parameter, retained the Date parameter so now Smart Album includes every photo within the date range parameter. Where are the "My Ratings" capabilities ? It appears they have been removed. If so, why ?

Photos doesn't have true star ratings.
However, when photos are migrated from iPhoto or Aperture to Photos, they will have keywords assigned, like "1 star" or "5 stars". You can create smart albums based on these keywords.
You can also assign keyboard shortcuts so if you're in the keyword pane and type 1, it will assign the "1 star" keyword.

I think I have 2 itune accounts open and would like to consolidate them into one -don't know my user name of the one account how can I consolidate these

Anyone have any ideas?

Sorry, the forum is not letting me post links. You will need to add the https stuff to the start of this --> iforgot.apple.com/
To identify an account used to purchase an item:
In iTunes, select one of the items purchased from the iTunes store. Click on "Purchased" under iTunes store on the left side of iTunes.
Right click --> get info.
On the Info tab will be the Apple/iTunesID used to purchase the item.
You cannot combine accounts. Anything bought with one will permanently be associated to that account. Decide which one will be your main one and just use it. Keep stuff from the other backed up so you don't have to log into that account again unless essential.

I only can see the menu bar. Even when I retsart the application I only can see the menu bar. Help!

I cant see any of the page. Only the menu bar
