Apple menu item link broken

I installed a new hd today on my G4 933 Quicksilver. I did not have my installation disks handy, having moved and they're packed away somewhere, so I used disk utility to initialize the hd then restored the image of the old hd to the new.
After remembering to change jumpers, set new hd as startup disk, unmount old disk and whatnot, the new drive appears to be working beautifully, except that the link from the Apple Menu to System Preferences is broken. Can someone tell me how to repair it without my installation disks? I know there's a simple unix command, but it's been a while since I've been under the hood and I can't some up with it.
Many thanks in advance,
Heather

Hummm? This is a challenge!
Your issue is duplicated when I visit your site.
Positioning the cursor just to the left of the errant links seems to work. ?? Strange!
I looked at the code in Dreamweaver Design view:
The only thing that seems strange is that they are out of order - CSS should cure that..
Then I looked at it in Dreamweaver View In Browser mode:
Obviously it's a list only because I don't have the CSS code.
Then I did an HTML insert using Muse:
Almost same as above
The Source Code shows nearly the same:
What I would try:
In Muse Design mode I would remove ALL links and all anchor tags.
Then I would highlight the menu items again - being VERY sure I have all the text of each item [but ONLY the text] highlighted then re-link.
I would do ONE item at a time -testing each as I go.
The only other thought I have is to try repositioning the anchors a little bit.

Lost most of the Apple Menu items with 10.8.5

I have only
About This Mac
Force Quit...
Sleep
Log Out (User)...
The Finder starts up as Simple Finder, I have to select Run Full FInder to get the full Finder back but it does not reactivate the Apple Menu items.
After restarting the computer the Finder again opens as Simple Finder.
Root has access to the normal Apple Menu items.
Please someone give me some advice
Thanks

Part of your problem, at least, is that you're in single-application mode.
Back up all data.
I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
defaults delete com.apple.dock single-app && killall Dock
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You should get a new line ending in a dollar sign ("$"). You can then quit Terminal. Test.

Menu items linking to other pages?

I have built a menu using the forms menu tool in Dreamweaver, and now I would like to link each menu item to a different page. Can this be done and how? does it require SPRY?

No, you don't need Spry to link pages.
Highlight the text or image that you want to use as the link.
Insert > Hyperlink
Complete the Dialog Box... you can use the little folder icon/button at the right of the Link: field to navigate to the file you want to open with this link
Clicking the "Help" button there will get you more information about Hyperlinking.
Or:
Highlight the text or image you want to use as the link.
Just to the right of the Link field in the Property Inspector, drag the target icon over to the Files Panel and tap on the file you want to link to
Of course, you say that you have used the "forms menu tool". Do you mean the "Jump Menu?" That has its own way of working: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WScbb6b82af5544594822510a94ae8d65-7c1ca .html

Apple Menu items are missing. How do I restore them?

My Apple Menu is missing some items. Not sure of all that may be missing, but the ones that I use that are missing include "System Preferences," "Restart," and "Shutdown."
System Preferences is still installed and available from the Applications folder, and I can restart or shutdown the system in other ways, but I'd sure like to get those items back on the menu.
I'm not what caused this, but I did some system maintenance including an iDefrag full defragmentation and some tweaking in Onyx. Can't say I know at which stage this happened, but the system seems to be behaving normally but for the missing items.
System is a Macbook Pro 17-inch, Mid 1009, running OS X Mavericks 10.9.2.
Thanks for any advice you can offer.

As it turned out, restarting the system didn't help, but shutting down and starting again did. Not sure if there's a difference between a restart and a shutdown+start, but I know there is a slight difference between a warm boot and a cold boot on PC, so maybe there is.
Anyway, the problem solved without major surgery. This specific option of removing the System Preferences menu item isn't available in Onyx, though removing the Restart and Shutdown options are (which I did not select). So, I guess I'll chock this up to an anomaly.
Thanks for the help guys.

Page menu item link not fully responding

Can you have a look at my site at http://www.impossibleimports.com and tell me why some of the navigation isn't working correctly?
The main point for concern is when you have selected the Fren Tubo menu item, and then need to navigate elsewhere from that part of the site? It seems that only part of the menu items respond as you hover over them. I'm a bit stuck?!
Thanks.

JNLP related-content issue in JRE 7u5 Sub Menu Item link not working

Add an item to the Apple menu

I would like to know how to add an item to the Apple menu using OSX Lion, any help would be more than appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Ron

1. You don't need to use Apple Menu Options for this; to add the item, double-click your hard disk's icon in the Finder and then open the System Folder. You can change the contents of the Apple Menu Items folder as if it was any other folder.
2. Open the Preferences folder in the System Folder and drag the item named Apple Menu Options Prefs inside to the desktop. Try opening the control panel again.

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.

Software Update (in Apple Menu) No Longer Works

When I click on the software update under the apple menu (10.3.9), nothing happens. It is not grayed out, I get no messages about trouble connecting, just zip. When I go in through system preferences and use the software update ("Check Now"), it does fine. Can anyone explain the disconnect between the apple menu item and the update ? Can anyone help me get it back to being clickable from the pull-down menu ?
Thank you.

Sometimes things do happen.
Have you tried:
1. Simply restarting the computer? Once in awhile a restart will cure something strange.
2. Starting up in Safe Mode? This will take quite awhile longer than a normal startup because it does a file check and repair of the hard disk.
You will see your normal desktop. Once completely started up in Safe Mode, restart normally, and go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility. Click on the top hard drive icon in the left sidebar and note the S.M.A.R.T. status at the bottom right of the pane. What does it say?
Select the named boot volume in the left sidebar, ("Macintosh HD" unless you've renamed it). Repair permissions on it.
If a simple restart doesn't fix the problem, see if a little hard drive maintenance does it for you.
Good luck.

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...

"Simlified" Apple menu

Hello out there,
since yesterday I have a kind of "Simplified" Apple menu, containing just the items "About this Mac", "Force Quit", "Sleeping Mode", "Logout <USER>" (Sorry, these are MY translations from German :-))
I don't know how that happend. But after a restart I was confronted with a "Simplified" Finder, without Icons on the desktop (which I deactivated via using the "Xupport"-Application) - But I don't know why and how the "Simlified" Finder. Now it is working fine again.
But can somone tell me how I will get back my "Shutdown", "Restart" and "System Preferences" among the other missing Apple menu items?
Greetings from Germany
Ansgar

Although I don't have this application I think you selected the option 'Simple Finder'. I think that this reduces the items in the Finder Menus to the absolute basic - as well as hiding the desktop icons. You should be able to get back the Apple menu items by deselecting this option. Of course you will also get back your desktop icons. If I'm correct it is up to you to choose which options in this program suit you best.
My German is almost non-existent even though I have very good friends in Cuxhaven.

ICal holidays missing - Find Shared Calendars menu item broken

In iCal, Calendar menu, Find Shared Calendars...
This menu item takes you to a broken (as of today) link:
http://www.apple.com/ical/library/

When clicking "Find Shared Calendars...," Leopard OS system sends IP packets to nwk-www.apple.com, 17.149.160.10.
・Source IP Address (private): 192.168.1.2
・Destination IP Address: 17.149.160.10 at the beginning of the session for "Find Shared Calendars..." procedure.
Leopard 10.5.1 sends a DNS query to connect 128.241.220.87 that is NTT America. Communications between Leopard and NTT America go for a while. So is Omniture's server followed. Some unique user's information is transmitted on all the servers communication.
Leopard queries DNS server (208.67.2222.222 which I set for Leopard) for metrics.apple.com (this seems to be a server for iTunes Store). What the deuce Leopard needs to call iTunes Store at the phase of finding iCal sharing calendar?
Besides, I have not been purchased any products from iTunes Store for years.
Actually, NTT America has been attempting odd access behaviors to my nodes for the recent few years before the business with Apple started whenever the hacker (I have been tracking him for three years.) is right behind me.
Now NTT America 128.241.220.87 replies to Leopard with the ACK (TCP Acknowledgement flag) bit. Next, nwk-www.apple.com (17.149.160.10) also sends Leopard a ACK bit simultaneously. Leopard answers it with the ACK. Now the DNS server replies the ten host addresses to the query of metrics.apple.com: appleglobal.112.2o7.net, 66.151.152.125, 66.151.152.126, 66.151.152.143, 128.241.21.13, 128.241.21.14, 128.241.21.15, 128.241.21.146, 128.241.21.149 and 128.241.21.163.
66.151.152.xxx = Omniture, Inc that provides web analytics solutions for internet channel monitoring. They operates the 2o7.net domains. For more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omniture
128.241.21.xxx = NTT America, Inc. (http://www.nttamerica.com/products/index.php)
At the last session, Leopard queries "wsidecar.apple.com," but strangely the DNS server answer the canonical address which is "wsidecar.apple.com.akadns.net" with its address 17.149.160.15 but not DNS registered address 17.112.152.39.
17.149.160.15 (Apple's server but not 17.149.160.10) sends Leopard a FIN/ACK bit which means the TCP connection is closed by the server ONE-SIDEDLY despite Leopard answers to 17.149.160.15 with the acknowledgement to get ready for the US calendar sync data download start.
Here is a nslookup wsidecar.apple.com:
$ nslookup
wsidecar.apple.com
Server: 208.67.222.222
Address: 208.67.222.222#53
Non-authoritative answer:
wsidecar.apple.com canonical name = wsidecar.apple.com.akadns.net.
Name: wsidecar.apple.com.akadns.net
Address: 17.112.152.39
CONCLUSION: There are a few inconsistencies on TCP/IP communications.
My computer: Power Mac G5 Dual 2.7 GHz/5GB DDR SDRAM
OS: Mac OS X 10.5.1 and Mac OS X 10.4.11 for dual boot.

How to reset input Text value on click of root menu item navigation link ?

All,
Jdeveloper - 11.1.1.6
I am facing this issue across the pages.
I have a root_menu.xml based navigation available as links at the top of ADF application. Some of the menu links directly have JSPX pages having the content being loaded , and others are JSPX containing Bounded task flow.
Issue :
On the click of the menu links, the page gets reloaded / refreshed , however the input value given on the page remains displayed even after refresh.
We need the page refresh along with any input test box getting cleared on Menu item click.
Any pointers as to how we can resolve.
Thanks

If your page is in a taskflow (which it should be as you use pageflowscope), you should have a method action in your task flow which you call to clear all the values you use in the UI.

Problem when trying to add a link to the left menu item!!!!

Hi everyone,
I am trying to put a new menu group on the left menu,with a link in that group for every one.On checking with the customization guide this is what i did
for one link i did add the following lines in each of the files
1)xlWebAdmin.properties
- menuGroup.Misc-Menu=Misc Menu
- menuItem.Misc-Menu.My-Nomination=My Nomination
2) xlDefaultAdmin.properties
- menuItem.Misc-Menu.My-Nomination.link=mynomineefrm?showfrm
3) repacked the war and the ear
4) Restarted my server
When I login into the administration(xelsysadm) page I didnt see any menu item with name "My Nomination" which i am supposed to see.
secondly it shows the menu item when ever i select some group and click on assign menu item.
Moreover, when I try to assign this menu item to all users group it gives me this error
On browser it prints
Permission Denied to Assign Selected Menu Items
You do not have the permissions to assign one or more selected menu items.
on console it prints
ERROR [SERVER] Class/Method: tcDataObj/eventPreInsert Error :Insert

This problem eat my happy sunday :-(, any one has solution for this problem?
- Also if some one can help on how to link jsp to the new link will be helpful for me!
Thanks,
doki

Design Console > Form Information > add new
Class Name Organizations.Merge
Description Move users from one organization to another
Type menuitem
Add following to xlWebAdmin.properties, xlWebAdmin_en_US.properties
Organizations.Merge=mergeOrgs.do?Display
menuItem.Organizations.Merge.link=mergeOrgs.do?MergeOrganizations
menuItem.Organizations.Merge=Merge
mergeOrgs.button.display=Merge Organizations
Even you have to assign first to System Administrator group
First go to Manage Group
Select System Administrator Group
Select Menu Item
Click Assign and select newly craeted Menu Item and click Confirm
These are the steps to see the new menu item. To make this menu item working:
you'll have to write action class, form bean class and you'll have to create JSPs and make their entry in struts-config as welll as in Tiles-def.xml
Then your menu item will work.

How do I remove "Recent Items" Documents from the apple menu?

I've been searching for an answer to this question for the better part of 3 hours now. W
Several iterations of osx ago, there was the ability to separately limit how many recent items were shown for Applications, Documents and Servers. Over the years, I simply installed a newer version of osx on top, and surprisingly my recent items always eliminated the Documents from the list.
I've since done a clean install of mavericks after installing an SSD, and i've lost this small but important part of my work flow. No matter what I've tried to remove the documents from Recent Items, it always shows up. I can still boot into my old HDD (which is now installed as a supplementary drive and also updated and running mavericks 10.9.2), and see from clicking on the Apple Menu > Recent Items that it only displays Applications and Servers.
Try as hard as I can, I can't simply figure out how to remove the documents from the recent items menu. I've tried editing the com.apple.recentitems.plist file, to show 0 items for documnets, but this never seems to work. (I've since read that this file is simply rewritten on logout.) Strangely, if I go into the old setup System Preferences, Recent Items: it is showing as None. I also suspect that maybe I used Tinker Tools or some other utility to change some command line preference (using the gui) several years back. Not sure how I could investigate what would need to be done to compare files or otherwise figure out how to remove the documents section from the recent items menu.
It's starting to drive me crazy. Anyone?

The Apple menu is at the top left hand corner of your screen, click on it and about this Mac is the first choice.
Click twice on Version to get serial number.
