Battery Status Indicator (in menu bar) does not update

I've recently noticed that the battery status indicator in the menu bar gets "stuck," and won't update. I can force it to update by disabling and re-enabling it, or by changing the view style, but if I leave it alone, it won't change, even across sleep/wake cycles.
Any ideas?

Actually, the problem disappeared after a reboot. I reboot so infrequently, I didn't even consider that as a solution, but something else caused me to need to reboot, and after that, the indicator works fine.
Still no idea what caused it to get stuck in the first place, but for now, it's better.
Good luck!

    I still can't find a solution. Changing the parameter wmode:transparent works for .swf files but .flv files do not have the option to add this parameter. If you add it in the script manually it doesn't do anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I cn't find any solution online.
    Thanks,

  • FN key menue bar does not appear on Satellite R

    PROB-1: i bought this Lap before 4 months.. suddenly my FN key is not working... that is, if i press FN key, menu bar does not POP OUT, but if i hold FN key and press F7 or F6, the screen brightness is changing.
    I got this in Saudi Arabia, the key board also have Arabic font (which i really dont want).
    PROB-2: If i want to type "@", i have to press ' Shift+" ' instead of ' Shift+2 '
    pls help on these..

    Hi
    Prob 1:
    The FN button row which appears at the top of the display is controller by Flash Card Support Utility.
    Go to All Programs -> Toshiba -> Flash Cards and restart this software.
    If this does not help, then reinstall this tool.
    Prob2:
    I assume you keyboard language setting does not match with the keyboard layout.
    Simply change the keyboard language setting.
    I assume you will need to change this to English (United state)

  • Menu bar does not show on screen?

    Menu bar does not show on screen.

    I'll assume your profile is wrong (10.4.7?) and you are using Lion in full screen mode.  If so click the double arrows in the menu bar which should appeare if you mouse into the menu bar area.
    If that isn't the case then are you zoomed in?  Contol + fingler drag on mouse (or scroll wheel) zooms in or out (see Mouse preferences, Screen Zoom, look at the little movie).

  • Battery status icon in menu bar not changing

    My battery status icon in my menu bar either does not change it's status at all, or takes a long time to change after I plug in, or unplug, my power cord.
    I'm not sure what to even try. I've tried removing it from the bar and adding it back with no luck.
    This seems to have happened since the latest Software Update for 10.6.5. I have Build 10H574.
    Thanks for any suggestions.
    Chris

    After charging, my indicator stays at 100%. The only way I've found to find out the real status is to put it to sleep, then wake it up again, then stare at it for about 2 or 3 minutes until it refigures the percentage. I got this battery as a Christmas gift and installed it 3 days ago. I calibrated it per instructions. This is very annoying. I can never quite relax because I'm afraid it's about to run down to zero.
    I'm on a Macbook Pro pre-2008. My new battery came from the Apple store. It's my 3rd battery on this computer and I've never had this problem before. (I hope you find the answer. I rarely go to the Genius Bar, but I've been there twice this week for other issues--I feel like a knucklehead going back a third time so soon). If I find a solution, I'll try to post it here.

  • BB10 browser - Hovering over Menu bar does not unfold items (Playbook can do this, but not Z30)

    Using the browser to access https://www.voip.ms/m/index.php
    On a Playbook, the menu items on the top bar unfold and allow user to select sub-menus. 
    On a Z30, nothing happens when hovering over the menu items.
    The BB10 touch browser seems to miss a pointer feature : browser doesn't recognize the hover option in the voip.ms menu.

    BB10 devices do not recognize the "hover" feature as you've described it, this is true. I don't have a PlayBook and cannot comment on any features available to it. However, you should be able to click for options where available. I know PC browsers have this feature but despite the BB10 browser being one of the most advanced mobile browsers, it does not incorporate this feature. All I can say is, if you can't do it on a BB10 browser, chances are you cannot do it on ANY other mobile browser.
    Cheers.

  • Finder menu bar does not show up always

    From time to time (maybe once a month) when I boot up my MBP, Finder Menu bar at the top of the screen does not automaticaly show up. Only basic screen color.In order to bring that bar (with apple icon in the left top corner and little magnifying glass,airport symbol etc in the right top corner) I have to click once at the top of the screen where that bar is suposed to be.Than it shows up and everything runs smoothly afterwords. At the same time my Dock works fine from the beginning. It does not bother me too much because everything else works perfectly fine and it happens not so often. I only wonder if anybody had a similar problem or if that is a problem at all. Thanks!

    My own and my girlfriens's new 13" MBPs (10.6.2) have done this a couple of times. I really haven't bother to look into the case because I assumed that it's just a bug as it was happening on both machines. As a matter of fact, I haven't seen it happening for a while.

  • Menu Bar does not show icons

    My MacBook was acting up so I took out the battery because it wouldn't let me shut down or restart. When I put the battery back in and turned it back on all of the icons on the right side of my menu bar were missing. There is no bluetooth, battery life, internet signal, date, or time icon on the right side, nothing. I went to "system prefrences" then "date and time" only the window feature for time is working. I have no idea how this happened and I cannot find an article under troubleshooting that covers this. Please post if you have any ideas or suggestions.

    Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and enter /System/Library/CoreServices/ as the folder's path. When this folder has appeared, double-click the item SystemUIServer inside and check whether the icons appear.
    If so, add this application to the list of login items for your user account in the Accounts pane of System Preferences.
    If not, choose Go to Folder and provide ~/Library/Preferences/ as the location. Move the file named com.apple.systemuiserver.plist inside this folder to the desktop and try opening the SystemUIServer again.

  • Menu bar does NOT appear in FULLSCREEN APPS

    Hey everyone,
    I recently updated to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard on release day. Although I am relatively unfamiliar with the full screen apps Lion + ML have started enabling I seem to be having an issue.
    I started using fullscreen mode with Safari and noticed I lost my menu bar. I soon found that moving my cursor up to the top of the screen made the bar come back into place.
    HOWEVER, about a day ago it stopped working! Is there something that has happened to stop this from working? It's quite annoying as once I'm in fullscreen mode I cannot leave it without hitting the esc button, which closes my browser down losing my websites and work I have done.
    This problem also persists in other apps that I fullscreen, I merely used safari as an example because its one I would like to use most in fullscreen.
    Is there any other way I can make the menubar show up again? And is there a reason moving my cursor to the stop of the screen no longer brings up the menubar?
    I am running ML on Mid 2009 MBP OSX 10.8
    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide

    The final solution to solve all problem I reported is to uninstall Air Display. This solved my question.
    After unintalling Air Display, dragged icon now can be dropped as expected just after reboot. Hot corner can work as expected just after reboot. Menu bar can be shown properly in full screen mode when mouse was moved to the top as expected just after reboot.
    Without uninstall, the workaround is to wait for an hour for my ML to be stablized. It means that after about one hour, those problem would then be resolved automatically, but it means I cannot reboot my ML if do not want to wait.

  • Menu Bar does not work in IE (still not resolved)

    I was long awaiting the 1.6 version of spry to get help with
    the menubar, but I'm still having the same problem. The submenu
    does not function correctly in Internet Explorer. I posted a month
    ago and still haven't received any feedback on how to correct this
    error. In IE, the submenus are not positioned correctly and are
    pushed 100 pixels or so above the menubar. Any help out there? Any
    recommendations if spry cannot deliver?
    Here is an example:
    http://wildroserealty.net/newWebsite/
    Here is my css:
    http://wildroserealty.net/newWebsite/CSS/wildrose_main.css
    Here is my menubar css:
    http://wildroserealty.net/newWebsite/SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css
    Thanks Spry Squad

    I started seeking an answer to my horizontal menu query a few
    months back and didn't receive any answers that helped me out. I
    thought I might share an alternative solution that worked for me
    for any of you out there who might still be struggling with the
    menubar (I considered it the bane of August, September, and
    October).
    Rich0828 was right on! Don't get frustrated over the menubar
    because the Spry Squad is still working on all of the IE Hacks. I
    started looking for a free solution on google and everything I read
    about seemed to have a lot of problems with it. It became evident
    that paying someone to be my tech support would be worth it to me.
    I ended up choosing the Orange Menubar (you can change it any
    color) on
    http://f-source.com/ which I found
    through the Dreamweaver Exchange. I payed $30 for it and have been
    VERY happy. I even went out and celebrated to bury my IE qualms (at
    least for now). I like this menubar because, like the Spry menubar,
    its readable by search engines. I prefer this new design a lot more
    because it has a cleaner, sharper look to it. I also like that I
    can change the opacity of the menubar so that the glossy look of
    the buttons blend in better with my navigation menu.
    I did have a few questions for the tech support, and they
    responded within a few hours and everything was working.
    You can view this new menubar which I decided on at:
    www.wildroserealty.net
    Good luck. If any of you have questions about my situation,
    feel free to reply to this thread. Don't give up on yourself! And
    may the Spry squad find a solution soon (which will save all of us
    some $$).

  • Rolling the mouse over the menu bar does not activate menu bar drop downs

    Anyone one familiar with menu bars and drop downs not activating when the mouse is rolled over them? This happens consistently afterrunning Photoshop it seems. The menus only work if they are clicked. Webpage links do not display the hand and also have to be clicked. Additionally, Photoshop selections (marching ants) do not activate.

    The standard behavior of Macintosh Menus is to do nothing when the mouse is rolled over them. They drop down once you click somewhere, then roll over a similar item, such as click and release on the apple menu, then rollover the File Menu or the Edit menu.

  • Battery Status Level In Desktop Manager Does Not Agree With Battery Level Indicated On My Curve 8330

    I just got a new Curve 8330 from Verizon.  It came with a Desktop Manager 4.3 disc.  I installed it, but then learned that version 4.7 was available.  I uninstalled 4.3 and downloaded and installed 4.7 from RIM.  When I started to charge my Curve via USB cable to my PC, the Desktop Manager showed a battery charge of 37%.  My Curve was 100% charged later in the day, but the Desktop Manager still indicated it was only 37% charged.  I uninstalled 4.7 and reinstalled it, per advice of Verizon.  Then the Desktop Manager correctly showed a battery charge of 100%.  But as I used my Curve and used up battery to a 50% level (as indicated on the Curve), the Desktop Manager still showed a 100% charge.  A minor glitch with the Desktop Manager software?  Any solutions?  Thanks.

    it's a glitch. The(false) value can be updated by going into the Help menu if I recall correctly.
