Aperture menus disappear!
Following an upgrade to Leopard and 1.5.6, Aperture's entire menu bar has disappeared! I'm referring to the menus at the top of the screen: *+File, Edit,+* etc. Of course this renders Aperture dead right now - which is causing me some concern on a critical application for me such as this.
I've tried most things so far, including moving the app to another Space which is already occupied with open applications. But as soon as Aperture is selected all the menus disappear. The Apple icon (top left) remains but does not respond to clicking.
Anyone else? Help?
Is there an Aperture feedback link I can write to them through?
Clem:
What does ProKit tell us under Frameworks? Why did you refer to that specifically?
Incidentally, my ProKit version is 4.1 also ( +dated Oct 27, the date of the install+ )
I'm now wondering if I create a new user and upgrade it to admin status ( +checking first that Aperture works correctly+ ), then delete my previous admin account, whether I'll get any joy? Has anyone tried that out - other than with the 'guest' account method?
Basically, I have a deadline looming and no application to work with.
I'm beginning to think I was unwise to trust this version would be smooth at all - particularly near any deadline - and should revert to Tiger on my second internal drive and forget about Leopard until it's good enough for general use.
Apple engineers come on these sites can they offer any help?
Addendum:
Could this error be part of the problem? :
+Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.+
I get it when +repair disk permissions+ is run. Needless to say, I don't go tinkering around in the system folder.

Word 2003 - Acrobat menus disappear for some (not all) documents
I have a user who is having a very bizarre issue with Word 2003 and Acrobat 9 Pro Extended. When he opens some Word documents, the PDF menus disappear. They are immediately restored when he closes the document or creates a new document. We've tried repairing and uninstalling/reinstalling to no avail. He uses several custom templates, but they are applied at startup to all documents. Any other troubleshooting ideas? Could the fact that he's using Word 2003 instead of 2007 be causing the problem?
ThanksMore information: I just checked the version of the file I had on my hard drive, and it's doing the same thing there. However, the other similar documents in the same folder on my hard drive are not behaving this way, so apparently it's not specifically
a SharePoint issue.

I am quite new to Java and I use project builder on my mac running OSX. Anyway I found some sample code and I was wondering if anybody could help me out. Basically when the app is compiled it draws "Hello World" in the window and there are two menus in the menubar -> 'File' and 'Edit', but when you go to the about box the menus disappear until you either close the aboutbox or bring the focus back to the main window.
How can I always keep the menus showing when there are multiple windows in the app. Remember that mac menus are fixed to the top of the screen...
anyway heres the code:

TV and Movie menus disappearing in Apple TV2
Was there ever a definitive answer to the problem of the TV and Movie menus disappearing for users in Australia following an upgrade to i-Tunes? Should I set the location back to the US or is there a workaround?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Make sure you are properly connected to the Internet, and that your location is set correctly, if that doesn't help try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds. -
I was working through my emails in Microsoft Web Access when I came across an email from a sender who keeps spamming me. I right-clicked on this unwanted email, saw a filter option and (recklessly) chose it. ALL my emails and the menus disappeared. I can re-access my emails in MWA in IE but how do I restore what I have foolishly messed up in Firefox? When I get to my email page in MWA in Firefox I now see nothing but the movable vertical bar.
You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer. -
I had looked through this forum and saw some old posts
regarding Captivate menus disappearing after a while working in the
software. This is happening to me right now and it is very
frustrating. In an earlier post, there were two troubleshooting
documents to link to but now the links do not work....
I am on version 2.0 build 1177.
Is this happening to anyone else? It is very frustrating to
have to close Captivate every 5-10 minutes to get the menus back.
Regards,
CJPHi all
If you are referring to the menus flashing and immediately
disappearing, the fix is to click any object over in the library
panel. Then they stabilize. This happens after you insert a flash
object on a slide.

Menu bar, tool menus disappeared in OWB suddenly
Hi,
Menu bar, tool menus disappeared in OWB 10g r2 mapping edito . Am able to see those in the design center and pluggable mappings. Please help me in finding out this ....Thanks a lot ..
Its working fine now..
I have few doubts regarding transportable modules in oWB
1.) can I transport objects from one schema to another schema in the same database.?
2) I am working on a database on remote machine. Owb 10g r2 is installed in my machine with that i created a repositoy in the database in the remote machine.
while doing export and import where will be the dump files stored in this operation
in my machine or remote on..??
could you please help me on this -
drop down menus don't work...they disappear in a blink of an eye. This only happens in FF not IE? That includes the menu below! I can't have more than 10 tabs open because the arrow won't take me past 10 it just returns to the first 10???
Did you ever figure this out? I bought my iPad last week to use in my business as well. I assume you are trying to use alldata? That is where I noticed this same issue. I had problems with identifix working with safari but downloaded a different browser and that works fine. Alldata does not work with either browser. The main difference is that on identifix if there is only one engine selection, it automatically selects the only option and continues to the home page. With alldata you have to make the selection manually even if there is only one option. Honestly if I can't get this to work I am going to return the iPad as it looses a significant amount of usefulness to men

Help!- aperture library disappeared after copy
I'm screwed...After a long holiday with my macbook and my aperture (3.0) library (90GB) on an external drive I finally get home and decide to copy the library onto my iMac (pictured folder). I always keep a copy in my external drive as a backup and for macbook use (internal drive too small).
Well, I connect the drive to my iMac, and try replacing the aperture library. Takes very long thinking, so I decide to delete the old aperture library on my iMac and just do a simple copy. Everything seems fine, it starts and says it has 50 minutes to go...so I leave for dinner. An hour later I come back and not only had the aperture library not been copied (only 700 mb or so of it), but the source isn't there either! i.e. it disappeared from my external drive!!
I though it might be a database problem, but mac os x says I have 90 GB more free space on my external drive, so the aperture library seems to have been deleted!
HELP HELP HELP....all of my photography is in there and I cannot believe I have lost everything just by trying to copy it!
thanks for any suggestions!Alaninnorway wrote:
Yes, I must agree. I have exactly the same problem. Come on Apple - do not invite us to 30 day free trial and give us this hassle for the weekend.
Any help appreciated.
The 30 day free trial cannot convert an Aperture 2 library.
Using the trial you can can only import into a new Aperture 3 library, and should not have any of these conversion issues.
We converted 6 workstations this weekend, specifically did not convert the imaging as that can be done in the future on an as-needed basis.
All of the libraries reside on disks that are no more than 40% full, for performance reasons.
The first library we converted was 500GB and at about 2.5 hours it froze at about 58%. I trashed the partial conversion and started over with a clean copy. This time, in Aperture 2 I did a Library rebuild before I converted. After this the conversion ran perfectly, in about 4 hours.
I ended up with a new file called Aperture Library, and another file called Aperture Library_Original. I found that this is the way the conversion is designed if you have the diskspace for 2 full Libraries. If you do not, it will delete the original after the conversion.
At any rate before converting run a rebuild in Aperture 2, and then make a backup of that library. You will then have a very clean original should anything happen in the conversion.
I am happy to say we followed the rebuild and backup on the other 5 Libraries, ranging in size from 500GB to 1.2 TB, and all the other conversions went smoothly.
The key is have plenty of diskspace available, more than double the size of your library, and Aperture will leave an Aperture Library_Original which can still be opened in A2.

Using FireFox ESR 17.011.
This just started recently. When opening a menu from the menu toolbar, the menu pane will open and initially display the menu options, but will disappear, sort of. It is almost like it is putting the menu into the background because there is a faint outline of the menu option box and if I click in an area where a list item is, that item will open.
Initially, this was just an annoyance, now it is a hindrance.
Steps to resolve:
1. Restarted in Safe mode - all menus work as expected.
2. Disabled ALL addons - menus still do NOT work
3. Reset FireFox - menus still do not work
4. Uninstalled/Reinstalled - menus still do not work
On the reinstall, I did not delete all of my content and settings. I will need to export my personal data first before I can do a new clean install. I would rather not do this as there is obviously an issue here.
From what I was able to find online, the steps reproduced should have helped resolve this issue, they have not.
What I would like to do, is reset FireFox back to default, removing any and all addons, but retaining my personal information (bookmarks, passwords, etc...).big parts of oracle's cororate applications seem to be certified by oracle to work with the firefox 24 esr release: https://blogs.oracle.com/stevenChan/entry/firefox_24_certified_with_oracle
i have no idea if the JD Edwards one falls into this category though, and i also don't think it is mozilla's task to support third-party apps that hook into the browser (there are countless ones) but it's rather the other way round... -
Aperture Projects Disappearing out of the Library
Aperture 2.1 3C27
I have been using Apple computers for over 15 years and Aperture since it was released.
Some of my Aperture library today disappeared from the desktop. This has now happened on two different machines. On another occasion I was working on a library and there were 4 projects. 2 of the projects have disappeared from the library. This happened as I was transferring some images to an external hard drive. I have tried rebuilding the library and regenerating the thumbnails. I have also gone to "Show Package contents" and there are only two projects in there, so ontologically only 2 exist. This is disconcerting to say the least and has erased hours of work. Has anyone else had similar problems or know of a way to prevent this?
JasonI have just had the same thing happen. I would say about 95% of my projects are missing!!! If I look at the default Library I only see about 5 projects when I know there are about 109 projects (correctly stated on the opening splash) and 5000 photos. It correctly sees over 500o images in the All Photos smart folder, but none of the projects or albums!
I looked inside the aperture library.aplibrary and the approject objects are there.... just not in the aperture!
I have added about 4GB in the last 2 days, and I did have a hard restart today, but have run onyx and checked permissions, all else seems to be fine. I do run this on a filevault account (no choice - work).
Help! what can I do?

File, Edit, and Help menus disappearing
Upon starting Adobe Reader 10.1.4 everything appears normal as shown below.
http://i.imgur.com/ucLKz.png
After about 2-4 seconds the File, Edit, and Help menus suddenly disappear, looking like this.
http://i.imgur.com/t3LRo.png
This happens for every PDF opened and even happens if Reader is opened by itself without a PDF. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but the issue persists. The Help menu is usable just barely long enough to perform a repair installation, but it does not help. F9 does not bring them back. The system is running Windows 7 64-bit. Any ideas on how to correct this?Check the JavaScript folder to see if you any files other than the *.BIN file. If you do, then move the extras out of the JavaScripts folder and restart Adobe Reader.

Somebody please help my Aperture library disappeared!
I haven't done any updates on the program or anything,the Aperture library just disappeared!!Can someone help me find how to restore it?
.I wanted help cleaning up the computer as Apple charges so much to help and I have to drive an hour to get to an Apple repair depot leave my computer for a week and I can't be without it..
To make space on your computer move media files (videos, audio, photo libraries) to an external drive and make regular backups of this external drive to another drive (better to two other external drives).
Media require much space, and removing them from your system drive will help most.
The second space saver is uninstalling third party applications that you really don't need.
The files, that Cleaner applications are removing (log files, backup copies, previews), will not save much space, but are important for the speedy performance of your mac.
ClamXav antivirus program? Is it a bad thing? I have not run it either,just wanted to have something just in case?
I have not heard that it has done actually any damage. But no antivirus software is perfect. Your best protection is to be cautious when downloading from the internet and and not to open attachments to unsolicited emails.
Have a look at this document: The Safe Mac » Mac Malware Guide : Do I need anti-virus software? -
Photo Projects in Aperture Have Disappeared after upgrading to Aperture 3.2.1
I am running Aperture 3.2.1 on a MacBookPro 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7 and 4GB RAM. The machine was purchased in November 2010. I have no idea what has caused this and can only guess that it was caused by the software update. I can only view 1 album that had about 12 photos and now only has 3.
I had also created several smart albums that have disappeared.
I have never been able to figure out a similar problem of projects disappearing on my G5 mac using Aperture 1.5. However, in the case of the G5, I can still see the photos in the library but not in the named project.I can't believe the solution was that simple! I was in a different library that I may have created intially. You have saved me from dispair. Thank you.

Safari Menus Disappear After Viewing iCloud
I've noticed that the Safari menus sometimes disappear from the menu bar in Lion after accessing iCloud. Is this an iCloud bug, a Lion bug or a Safari bug?
Might be a cache issue...
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac. See if that makes a difference.
