Apple Menu and Subfolders

When you go into Settings and in the Apple Menu if you turn on Playlists, Artists or whatever under Music so it shows on the first Menu screen, Playlists, Artists or whatever is under Videos. The main menu reads... Music, Photos, Videos, Artists, Extras, Settings. Is anyones like this or is it just mine. Shouldn't Artists be under Music. The only thing I can figure is that since Artists is a submenu it drops below all the main menu folders like Music, Photos and Video.

The settings you are referring to is to the menu items that you want to see on the main menu. It has nothing to do with the actual staggered appearance or sequence in which they appear on the main menu. That's the way it is on all ipods.

  • Multiple Entries on the Apple Menu and boxes on finder

    Hi,
    I'm having some weird problem with my iMac, in that i'm getting duplicate entries of "Force Quit" and " Restart" and "Shutdown" and "Logout.." in the Apple Menu, and some wierd boxes on the finder and all application.
    Did anyone face this problem before?
    Thx

    Hi
    Sounds like VoiceOver is switched on,  F5 is the shortcut that turns it on/off (also found in System Preferences>Universal Access>Seeing).

    I think it must be missing from the Applications folder.
    Do you have your 10.4 Install Disc to do an Archive & Install?

  • Boxes around icons, duplicates in Apple menu and File menu

    When I select something on the desktop, such as an icon, a box with a black outline appears around the icon. Same thing happens when I open a folder. The highlighted name will show a box with outline around it.
    Also, if I go under the Apple, I can see 2 restarts, 2 shut downs, 2 logouts, and a force quit finder under the force quit.
    If I go under File in the finder, there are 2 move to trash.
    How do I get rid of this?

    Look at this KB article: Mac OS X 10.4: Some Apple menu items appear twice, which should help you.
    To turn off "VoiceOver", read this KB article: Mac OS X 10.4: Computer speaks unexpectedly, or a black box unexpectedly appears around a file, folder, or other item.

  • Apple Menu and iTunes locked up

    iTunes was unresponsive and I couldn't use the Apple drop-down menu either. Force Quit showed no applications running. I could use the internet and got the information on resetting the MSC(?) by unplugging the power cord while holding the power button down, then replugging before releasing the power button. It worked great and everything runs fine.
    Now I wonder what the problem really was and couldn't find anything in a search. Does anyone know if I have the beginnings of serious trouble? Or if I should do some sort of diagnostic testing?
    Thanks

    Hi Linda:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    What you did (I think) is to reset the SMC (system management controller). That will sometimes "fix" problems of the sort you experienced.
    I would not be too concerned. You might run the hardware checker by booting from your software install DVD and hold down the "D" key.

  • TV display resolution so huge only see apple menu and About - how reset?

    Somehow my kids reset the resolution on our TV display screen.  It view is so "huge" one can only see for example the Applie Menu pick and the "About" choice under it.
    I tried Safe Boot and got normal size Log In screen, but after entering password resolution of desktop immediatelyu switched back to the unworkable size.
    I also tried resetting the PRAM.
    Any way to fix this?

    Have a look under System Preferences: Universal Access: Seeing: Zoom  to see what was going on there...

  • System Preferences does not open in Dock, Apple menu and in apps?

    I'm experiencing an issue with System Preferences. One day the I noticed that the Icon changed to a white page with the "Applications" "A" on it. Since then, I have not been able to launch the System Preferences in my profile. In my wife's, it works fine.

    It changes in the Dock, or in the stacks pop-out window? If the latter, try double clicking it from within /Applications directly.

  • I cannot log onto the App Store, the page appears when I call it from the dock or the Apple menu. I can call the log-in box from the menu bar, but on signing in the spinning icon just keeps spinning,(not the beachball). Any suggestions? Using 10.6.7 and u

    I cannot log onto the App Store, the page appears when I call it from the dock or the Apple menu and I can call the log-in box from the menu bar, but on signing in the spinning icon just keeps spinning,(not the beachball).  Using 10.6.7 and up-to-date on all software. Any suggestions?

    Could be a third party app preventing you from being able to login.
    Mac App Store: Sign in sheet does not appear, or does not accept typed text
    If it's not a third party issue, follow the instructions here.
    Quit the MAS if it's open.
    Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left then open the Library folder then the Caches folder.
    Move the com.apple.appstore and the com.apple.storeagent files from the Caches folder to the Trash
    From the same Library folder open the Preferences folder.
    Move these files Preferences folder to the Trash: com.apple.appstore.plist and com.apple.storeagent.plist
    Same Library folder open the Cookies folder. Move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
    Relaunch the MAS.

  • My child was on my mac and now I can't find my dock.  I went to the apple menue then to system prefrences but "dock" isn't an option for me to use.  Please help!

    My child was on my computer and now my dock doesn't display on my screen.  I checked the resources for help and it hasn't worked for me.  It says to go to the apple menu, and click on the dock display.  However, the  "dock" isn't an option on my dropdown list.  Please help!

    What options are selected and deselected if you go to System Preferences and Dock?
    1. click the apple logo
    2. click System Preferences
    3. click Dock
    What's there?
    It's possible your child just messed around with these settings and moved the dock to the left or right and triggered auto-hide and so forth

  • System Preferences won't launch from Apple menu in Mac OS X 10.5.8

    Hello there,
    I recently upgraded to 10.6 and then went back to 10.5.5 in a few hours.
    When doing so, I chose to save a folder called "Previous System", as the Installer gave me this option.
    I've upgraded to 10.5.8 via Software Update, after prior 10.5.5 installation through the DVD.
    At some point, I tried to launch the System Preferences through Apple menu and got the familiar message: "The application quit unexpectedly, etc.". Since then it's a recurrent problem. It's been 3 days.
    However, it does open from the dock icon.
    I still have the "Previous System" folder on my disk. I've moved a few things from it to my Library (i.e. some minor applications like Skype, some Desktop items like documents and folders, some photos, music, etc.). I've pretty much started from scratch with everything else - Finder preferences, Wacom tablet driver, etc.
    Any clues? I've seen someone had the same problem with a downgrade from 10.5.8 to 10.4, but it's still a mystery as well.
    Thanks in advance!

    Try repairing permissions from Disk utilities...
    Hey iyacyas, thanks for suggesting the disk permissions repair. I tried this, but it didn't work out.
    I'm far from understanding any of this, but I tried to figure somethings out from the Report the crash sends to Apple and I noticed that it's trying to launch the "System Preferences" from the folder "Previous Systems"… gee!
    Here it goes, in their own words:
    Path: /Previous Systems.localized/2010-01-17_1147/Applications/SystemPreferences.app/Contents/M acOS/System Preferences
    Anyone has any ideas how could I fix this? I mean, "tell" the Apple Menu to search for the System Preferences inside my ACTUAL Applications folder?
    Thanks!

    We need to get you moved. This forum is for mini-tower Macs built between 1998 and 2005 and doesn;t get as much traffic ("eyeballs on the problem") as the forums for newer Macs.
    Please do "About this Mac" from you Apple menu and tell us what that says for "processor" and Mac OS version. Looks like this:
    or this for later Mac OS versions:
    With that we can figure out which of the two iMac forums you need and get the Hosts to move your post.

  • Wrong Language under Apple Menu

    After a crash, the system came up in a very odd state. All entries under the "Apple" menu are in a non-English language. I went over the preferences->international and unchecked everything but English, no dice. If something other than English is checked, it shows up under the Apple menu. If only English is checked the Apple menu is in a language I don't recognize (probably Norwegian or Danish, from the letters). In the Finder the "Window" menu is likewise remapped to another language, along with the Apple menu, but none of the other menus.
    To be crystal clear, I've already gone to the international preferences and selected "English" and unchecked everything except English, and logged in and out, and I'm still getting something that isn't English under the Apple menu, and the "Window" menu when in Finder.
    The "Om denne Mac" menu item under Apple brings up the usual About this Mac window, in English.
    Any thoughts on what to look for or fix?

    Hi
    If you are familiar with the interface and as long as its not a language that uses Kanji characters, you should be able to create another Admin Account. Log out and log in with that. Does the problem go away? If it does follow this procedure:
    Log back in to the primary account and navigate to Users/Home/Library. Move the Preferences folder (not copy) to the Desktop. Restart your mac and hold down the shift key. This will take some time so be patient. Eventually you should see the log in Window with 'Safe Boot' or 'Safe Mode' listed in Red. Log in. Empty the Trash. Select the Utilities folder from the Go Menu. Launch Disk Utility and repair privileges and permissions as well as verifying the disk. If it all checks out OK restart the Mac. On successful log in navigate to the removed Preferences folder on your desktop. Find the com.apple.dock.plist file. Select it and copy it using Command+C. Now navigate to /Users/Home/Library. In there you should see the newly created Preferences folder, open it and paste using Command+V. You'll be prompted to overwrite an newer existing com.apple.dock.plist. Say yes to this. Restart the mac. On successful login you should see the dock return to its previous state. If you use Apple Mail, again open the moved Preferences folder on your Desktop. Find the com.apple.mail.plist. Select it and copy it using Command+V. Navigate to the newly created Preferences folder in /Users/Home/Libary. Open the folder, paste using Command+V. Now when you launch Apple Mail all your accounts settings will be re-instated. You may be prompted for the mail account password. Have that handy just in case.
    If none of this alleviates the problem for for an archive and install and preserve Network Users and Settings. You will have to use the installer disk to do this.

  • Apple menu not functioning.

    two strange things that i have not been able to resolve. thanks so much in advance for any help that anyone has to offer.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    I would recommend you use the Accounts System Preferences to create a brand new user. Then log out (you can use shift-Apple-q to log out without the Apple menu) and log in as the new user. Does the Apple menu work for the new user? If so, then your user has a preference file or setting that's causing the problem. If not, then you have a system-wide or hardware issue. Let us know what you find out from this troubleshooting step and we'll try to help from there.

  • Apple Menu inaccessible

    This is more of an annoyance than anything, but my Apple menu and select program menus do not function. Select program menus include: Firefox, iTunes, Word, Azureus. The last thing I installed was the most recent iTunes update.
    I have:
    --removed the Preferences folder from the Library and rebooted
    --created a temporary account; logged in with that and received the same results.
    --rebuilt the permissions with the disk utility
    Any ideas? Thanks.

    Have you removed/disabled any fonts (especially Lucida Grande and Geneva) from the System>Library>Fonts folder?

  • Sleep from Apple menu

    When I've finished working with my iMac G5 for the evening, I will click on "Sleep" from the Apple menu, and invariably the computer will indeed go into Sleep mode. However, on rare occasions, the computer will wake up not long afterwards -- I'll hear a slight "bump" through my external speakers, and then the computer will come back on. This is not an especially critical problem, since putting the computer back to sleep is merely a matter of reselecting "Sleep" from the Apple menu. However, I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this "wake up and go to sleep" oddity?

    This is a bit odd. You should create another user account, and see if the same happens on the new account.
    Also, are you on the Intel iMac, or the iMac G5? Your audio "popping" symptoms through the external speakers scream Intel iMac.
