Apple Menu Bar Icons Gone on the Right

I am having some problems with my Apple Menu Bar on the right hand side (no clock, no volume, no eject except for Sophos). I was very pleased to see Michael Conniff's solution here (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5550238&#5550238). Unfortunately, it didn't work for me... I even logged in as a different (admin) user and still nothing in the menu bar, except for Sophos.
It wasn't just a matter of switching them on in System Preferences. I also tried the coreservices/Menu Extra trick (which used to work for the eject menu) but it doesn't want to play.
I have a G4 Dual 800, running 10.4.11. I think it only just started over a week ago and the only thing I did was to do a Software Update.
Any solutions anyone please?

Hi BDAqua, thanks for the reply. I did exactly what you said; unfortunately I only got to the installing Combo update bit, when I got a message saying the installation had failed after about 10 minutes into it, then the machine won't restart - it just went into a restart mode every time I tried to shutdown. I did several hard restarts, I got stuck every time as soon as the the Mac OS X screen came on. I have never had a problem like this before and could only suggest the OS got corrupted at some point.
I am starting from the 10.4.3 DVD and reinstalling a fresh copy of the OS, hopefully it will be alright after the 10.4.11 update.
Don't get me wrong BDAqua, I am not complaining, it is just one of those things; I do appreciate you took the time in replying and suggesting a solution to help, thanks.

Apple Menu Bar Icons Gone

All the Apple Menu Items are gone. 3rd party icons are still there. I did already what was suggested in another topic by BDAqua:
+In "/Users/<yourname>/Library/Preferences", delete com.apple.systemuiserver.plist+
+In "/Users/<yourname>/Library/Preferences/ByHost", delete com.apple.systemuiserver.xxx.plist where 'xxx' is a 12 digit (hexadecimal) numeric string.+
+This will reset your Menu Bar to the default, you'll need to go through System Preferences to reset the ones you need. (If they are already checked, uncheck them first and then recheck them).+
No result!
Here is how it happened: I had a problem with external drives (firewire) and a USB cardreader. After I tried several things that were mentioned in this forum (and elsewhere) I reinstalled OS 10.4.11 with the combo updater (it was suggested somewhere that this could solve the firewire problem). When I restarted after the new install of OS 10.4.11, all the Apple Menu Icons had disappeared.
The good thing: The firewire problem is solved (I think), but I want my Menu Icons back! HELP, please!
Thank you
Chris

Yeah, that's the first thing to try.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates again, or even do an A&I if you have enough free disk space.
An Archive & Install, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc...

Exist or can you add possibility to place menu bar(all buttons) on the right side of window?

Something like MS Windows menu bar which can be placed on each screen side. On 16:9 screen this will add more space for site and navigation still will be very easy. I wanted attach image with concept but it's not possible here :(.
I'm not sure if I'm writing in correct place but this support system isn't too user friendly :/

You could try using Firefox's Safe Mode to reset your toolbars. Not sure whether this is a toolbar problem, but it's probably worth a try.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, check this article on how to start Firefox in
[https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode] and use the dialog to reset toolbars.
Any luck?

Menu Bar Icons no longer showing, not able to switch on in control panel

I had sleep problems with my MBP (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2449728&tstart=0) and as such I did a combo update as this could possibly solve it.
However, now all the control panel icons in the menu bar have gone (like the clock, network, airport, etc) and I am not able to switch them on in the relevant control panels. If I hit the tick box 'show in menu bar' of any control panel it ticks it for a split second and immediately removes the tick.
I am able to turn it on via /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/, however after a restart all is back to previous state, no icons in menu bar.
I redid the combo update > no success.
any ideas?

I did that and all is well in the other account.
in a moment of inspiration, I reinstalled the
Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
from a backup and this solved the Menu Bar issue.
Thanks for thinking with me.

How does a user activate a menu bar icon?

Hello everyone, how great is it to assign hotkeys for your application menus. Yet... for the more interesting users like me, we need to also activate menu bar icon settings, particularly the 'show ink window' in my case. Respectively iv'e tried every corner in the world for another way of activating that besides the point and click method everyone is forced to use... and came up with no answer... so i figured, what about Terminal? maybe... just maybe there is a Terminal(OS X native command-line tool) command for this, if anyone knows please share!!
GL my apple friends!

You can open the form in Adobe Reader and save the form after filling in the data.

How do i see menu bar icons if safari has so many headers

Hi Everyone,
when i have safari open i have File Edit View History Bookmarks Develop Window Help and Debug
this means that many of my menu bar icons are missing eg Dropbox Evernote etc....
Does anyone know if there is a way to cycle through the menu bar icons to get the one i want whilst safari or any other programme with many headings like this is open?
Or can i drag and drop the menu bar items into some other order so they appear out the tail end ?
Thanks
A

Just click on the Desktop and they will appear. Or don't use so many and get rid of Safari's Debug menu.

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.

The dropdown menu from the Creative Cloud icon on the menu bar keeps giving me the following message: "Download Error" I quit and restarted the creative cloud app to no avail. Running Mavericks on a mid 2011 iMac.

I was on facebook and deleted an icon by using the right-click menu but then all my pictures and all profile pictures, could no longer be seen. I was able to view them in Explorer so this is something I did in Firefox. How can I unblock a site?'

'''I was on facebook and deleted an icon by using the right-click menu but then all my pictures and all profile pictures, could no longer be seen. I was able to view them in Explorer so this is something I did in Firefox. How can I unblock a site?'''

If you select that right-click context menu entry then you block all images from that domain and not one specific image, so do not use that.
* Check the exceptions in Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions (e.g. sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net)
You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
* Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
* Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
* Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
* Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
* Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
* If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

Editing the Menu bar icons

Hello fellow Mac-aholics,
I've recently been trying to 'hack' my mac (look at me, I'm a poet and . . . ) and I've been playing with the .png files for some of the widgets I have (If any wants and 'Hula' widget with a copy of me bouncing around, drop me an email!!) I also reliased that I should be able to play around with the 'menu bar' icons. I have added a gmail checker and a chat app and I can easily change their icons (locate the app, show package contents and find the revlivant .png) But now I want to play with the 'speaker volume' and 'airport' icons, however I can't find the funking files.
Can anyone help!!!
iMac Intel 1.83Mhz Mac OS X (10.4.6)

WOOO HOOO
YA
wOOt
I've found them Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, you are a bloody star!!
They were in the /System/Library/CoreServices/ along with a whole load of others!!
Word of warning to all. If like me your going to edit these files, always, always, ALWAYS keep an unedited version somewhere.
Once again thank you all for your help, may the gods of apple bless you with extra RAM!!

How do I display customized icons next to menu bar instead of on the same line as the URL?

Thought I already submitted this. If this is a duplicate set of details, apologies. If previous answer posted, there was no message to that effect.
In Windows 7, icons for most add-ons and for icons you can add with customization appears to the right of the menu bar. Now, in Windows 8, they are appearing to the right of the URL line.
There isn't enough room on the URL line, so I would prefer they show on the menu bar line. If this isn't possible in Windows 8, count this question as a complaint about the change. If it is possible, I couldn't findl the solution in your help or forum.

NO! In Windows 7, the command icons show to the right of the line with the '''FILE''', etc. drop-down menus, the line BELOW the top line which contains the Firefox icon (see the image).
In windows 8, they show to the right of the line in which you enter a URL or a search string. There is not much vacant room on that line, so you can only fit a couple of icons.
I don't know how to say it any more clearly than this.
I want to know if it is possible to move the command icons in Windows 8 so they are in the same location as in Windows 7. If not, I'd like to know why the decision was made to do this, if deliberate, or if it was an oversight that will be fixed.

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.

In my Macbook Pro, on a few occassions, the apple menu bar blacks out. its displayed as a negative image. The desktop wallpaper get greyed out and i get a blank screen as wallpaper. No idea why this happens. I reset the system and issue gets resolved.

i just updated my software and when i re-opened safari, the little google search bar thats usually on the right hand side of the window is now gone. how do i get it back?

Sorry. That is Safari 6's "new look".
Now they are copying Chrome and other browsers that combine them so that they don't take up so much space on your iPhone oops, I meant your screen.
Tabs are as big as a house as well, but that just seems to be a bug.
