Can't see menu bar on external display

I just attached my MacBook running 10.6.2 an lcd flat screen hd tv. Everything is fine other than I can't see the menu bar. I've changed to every resolution available, but the menubar is never visible. It's there, because if I use my (wireless) mouse and put it off the top of the screen and click, I can get menus to open.
Has anyone run into this problem and have you found a solution?
Thanks!

Right, your TV is overscanning. That's very common. Overscan has been part of what TVs have done for decades.
If your TV is meant to be compatible with computer output, there should be a way to set the screen size using the TV's remote and/or menu system so that computer output just fills the screen. So check you TV's user manual about making a connection to a PC for information about how to get rid of overscan on the TV.

Can't see Menu Bar in Windows 8

Please help... I'm new to Windows 8. I have the latest version of Skype. But I can't see any Menu Bar. All I can see is Home (at the top), Add Number & Save Number (at the bottom).
I have done a restart since I installed it, which I assume is the same as logging out and back in again. I have merged my skype and hotmail and want to merge my facebook contacts too, but without the Menu Bar I havent got any "Options"....

You can install latest Skype desktop Client with this link:

Need menu bar on BOTH displays when using external monitor

How can I have the menu bar on BOTH displays without using the "Mirror Display" mode???
I bought a Thunderbolt and use it with my MBA. It works fine overall but this is still like having one display instead of two. A real downer!!
There are 2 modes:
Mirror Displays: (identical screen: why waste valuable screen realestate?)
"Normal" mode: where it gives you access to the 2 monitors independently (you can move apps. windows and locate them on any screen you want).
In the "Normal" mode, you can move the menu bar from one display to the other but it does not resolve the problem. We need TWO menu bars, which work identical and can be used on whatever display the mouse cursor happens to be.
Currently, let's say I have applications A & B displaying on MBA, applications C & D displaying on TB, and the Menu Bar on TB. It is a nightmare to work!!!! Anytime I want to work on A or B I have to move the mouse side way to get to the MBA, then to use the menu, I can't even move up into the TB all the way to the menu bar: I have to move through the side onto the TB then up to the menu bar, select, down through the TB, side way to the MBA, and on and on and on....
Anybody knows how to duplicate a functional menu bar without Mirror Display?
Anyway of simplifying this nightmare?
Thanks

Hi I have a mac mini with my TV as a display. MY display includes the taskbar but no menu bar, how do I see menu bar???

HI
I have a mac mini with my TV as a display. My display includes the taskbar but no menu bar, how do I see menu bar???

Make sure you are using a 1080p capable TV. Some TVs have pixel level video ratio adjustment. Sometimes that can force the menubar to be visible if it is the only display connected to the machine. Sometimes you have to go to your hard drive's Applications -> System Preferences -> Displays and drag the white bar on top of the display's representation to the other display. You can only have one primary display with menubar.
Lastly, for non-1080p capable displays, DisplayConfigX or SwitchResX offer pixel level adjustments through software.

Srpy menu bar will not display

Was working away on modifying a spry menu bar when all of a
sudden the menu bar will not display. Tried creating a new page and
inserting the menu bar and still will not display. Won't even
display in previous pages created.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks

The following code calls the MenuBar widget into your
document, but the widget will not be found, if the code that I
provided you is not properly formatted.
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
When I insert a SPRY widget into my document the Javascript
and CSS files that construct and determine the appearance of the
widget are automatically placed into a folder called SpryAssets. My
document is housed in a different folder. Thus, I must exit the
folder in which my document is contained before entering the
SpryAssets folder. When I read your href attribute it appears that
your SpryAsset folder and your document are located in the same
directory folder. If this is true, then I do not understand why
your widget does not appear.
I can offer two additional suggestions, and then my knowledge
of what might be wrong is exhausted:
1) If possible insert the widget again using a previous
version of your document in which the widget has not already been
inserted.
2) Always make sure that your document has been saved at
least once before inserting a SPRY object. This will insure that
everything is properly linked when the widget is inserted.
In the meantime, maybe someone more knowledgeable than I will
be able to help.

Can't see Tiger installer in external drive

I want to reinstall Tiger from the disk after erasing my startup drive - on my G4, which has a broken superdrive.
Right now I have Tiger installed and when I insert the Panther installer in the external drive and restart, I can choose to boot from the Panther install disk. However, when I insert the Tiger install disk, I can't see it in the external drive. (I only inserted the Panther disk as a test.)
The Tiger install disk is black with a gray X.
Does anyone know why I might be able to boot from the Panther installer but not the Tiger installer?
Thank you,
Debbie

I put the Tiger DVD in the iMac and started in Target Mode - I see the firewire icon on the screen. I booted the G4 with the Option key held down, but I just saw the G4 startup disk and back and forward arrows.
When I chose the forward arrow, this is what I saw:
Default Catch
code 300 at
%SPRO: ff8494a0
%SRRI:0000b030
Paraphrasing now:
Welcome to Open Firmware
Type mac-boot return to continue booting
I tried typing mac-boot return, but got another version of the same screen.

I can't seem to run 3 external displays of off my MacBook Pro 13inc with Retina.

I can't seem to run 3 external displays of off my MacBook Pro 13inc with Retina (2.8GHz Intel Core i7, 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3, 512GB SD driven, OS X 10.9.3) It only picks ups 2 displays. I also have a 15inch Mac Book Pro with Retina that can run all 3 screens. Any suggestions, please?

The late 2013 MacBook Pro Retina 13 inch screen model can power three external displays in addition to its own.
Here is a video showing three external displays working; 1 HDMI, 1 MiniDisplay Port, and 1 thru USB using a Startech external video card to DVI adapter. All the external displays are old 23 inch Apple Cinema Displays hooked up thru each monitor's Apple Display Connector (ADC), then to Apple ADC to DVI adapters, then a third adapter (HDMI, USB, MiniDisplayport). So ADC/ADC to DVI/DVI to whatever/MacBook. The monitors are probably older than some of the users on this board. The USB to DVI external card/adapter is what makes it work, and it's less than $70 online.

My spry horizontal menu bar is now displaying vertical. How do I fix it?

My horizontal spry menu bar displays correctly at http://www.matthewvandyke.com/ar/photos/ but displays vertical at http://www.matthewvandyke.com/ar/about.html. It started doing this a few days ago and I am not sure why.
Can anyone take a look at this code and tell me why this would be happening?

SpryMenuBar.js
This file handles the JavaScript for Spry Menu Bar. You should have no need
to edit this file. Some highlights of the MenuBar object is that timers are
used to keep submenus from showing up until the user has hovered over the parent
menu item for some time, as well as a timer for when they leave a submenu to keep
showing that submenu until the timer fires.

I have not seen your error in either my IE or my chrome. I do note that you are using a "strict" Document Type Declaration.
You might try a transitional DTD, which should be more forgiving than the strict:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Other than that, I don't see anything particular (because I don't see the error, either) that would cause the menu to drop vertically instead of horizontally.

I think I crashed my Finder - Menu bar won't display, Finder windows either

Help!
I attached a new external HD yesterday (a Western Digital MyBook) to use as the Time Machine disk. Started a brand new backup and went out. When I got back to the house, about 14 of 250 GB had backed up but the system had hung -- no amount of key presses got anything working -- it was just hung, stuck, dead. Against my better judgment I switched off the power strip everything is plugged into and re-booted.
System came back up, but when I click the Finder or Trash icons in the dock, nothing happens. I've also got no menu bar, unless an app is running -- then I have that app's menus but not the finder ones. Also, icons for internal HD, both external HDs, MobileMe disk, etc -- don't display on the desktop and there's no way to get at them, it appears.
Is there some sort of bootup routine I can try or do I need to re-install Leopard? The Time Machine backup started over and seems to be progressing normally. If I let this finish, will I be able to restore my system that way?
Thanks everyone...
-- Scott

And, I just answered my own question. I repaired the disk permissions (for my internal HD) with Disk Utility and now everything is back to normal. I wiped the External HD and started the Time Machine backup again and so far, so good...
Should anyone find this useful...

Question: My spry menu bar is not displaying correctly in Dreamweaver

Hello,
I am new to Dreamweaver CS5, so coding isn't my area of expertise. My problem with my spry menu bar is that it does not display the tabs on the menu bar correctly. When I try to apply new changes to the CSS of the horizontal menu bar, half of the tabs will change and the other half will not. Also, I am unable to drag and move the menu bar itself around, a function that I was once able to do before. At times, only one tab of the menu bar will display itself, without any of the other tabs as well.
I have a hunch that my problems stem from some coding errors in the SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css, and possibly in the SpryMenuBar.js. On the CSS Styles panel, my SpryMenuBarHorizontal.CSS list reads as follows:
I also have a hunch that something about this line-up is also incorrect, but I don't exactly know what the problem is.
Here is what my coding for my SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css looks like right now:

    background: #FFF;
And here is what my SpryMenuBar.js coding looks like right now too:
SpryMenuBar.js
This file handles the JavaScript for Spry Menu Bar. You should have no need
to edit this file. Some highlights of the MenuBar object is that timers are
used to keep submenus from showing up until the user has hovered over the parent
menu item for some time, as well as a timer for when they leave a submenu to keep
showing that submenu until the timer fires.

If anyone could possibly steer me on the right direction with this, I'd be very grateful! I've been struggling with this for about a month now and I feel like I may have only made the situation worse.
I'm not sure if I have to keep making a new spry assets folder in my website or not or if I have to drag and drop the spry assets into the root folder. I have restarted my website over at least a dozen times by now. I have tried changing folders, dragging and dropping various spry assets folders everywhere and I have also uninstalled and reinstalled my copy of Dreamweaver CS5 in the hopes of getting my spry horizontal menu bar to act normal. I am completely new at Dreamweaver and I really, really need some help with this.
Thanks!

I haven't been able to get my site posted up yet. Here is a link to it anyway:andrearosales.com
I will be working on connecting my files up to my server. At the moment, here are some screen shots of some messages that I am getting when I am saving my file.
I'm not sure what to make of these messages. I tried to put a new spry horizontal menu bar on my main page, and when it appeared, it displayed as a spry vertical menu bar.
Here is a picture of what it looks like:
I"m going to refer to the links that were suggested to me though. I'm not sure if pictures of the code will help to solve my problem. I'm going to try again to connect my files to my server though.

Menu bar won't display date

Yes, I have checked the 'diplay date and time in menu bar'option in system preferences; the time is there, but I really need the date as well. When I click on the time in the menu bar, I can see the date, but it's gray, as if it were inoperative.
Also, as long as you're reading, maybe you could suggest how I can change the preferences in mail to check spelling as I type; this is also gray...
Thanks!

Mike
How long has this method been available? is it a Tiger feature or has it been there all alongThis method was available in Panther although it was trickier to get right using the GUI. There was a different method in Jaguar and earlier, which used different format strings.
My finder modification dates have gone haywire after doing the menu date change.Where exactly are you viewing these dates?
I still have the problem after deleting the system prefs plist.I think Scott gave you the wrong preference list. These formats are stored in an invisible preference file: "~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist " (that's the one in your Home Library folder). But there are four formats. The Menu Bar Clock uses the second one, you may have inadvertently changed one of the others.
Open the Terminal (from /Applications/Utilities) and copy and paste the following into the Terminal window followed by a return:
defaults read -g AppleICUTimeFormatStringsCopy and paste the result from the Terminal window to a post here. For reference, this is what I get:
<pre>{
1 = "h':'mm' 'a";
2 = "d MMM, h':'mm':'ss' 'a";
3 = "h':'mm':'ss' 'a z";
4 = "h':'mm':'ss' 'a z";
}</pre>where you can see the second format is modified to have the date as well as the time. If any of #1, #3 or #4 differ from mine, I can give you a command to set it right.
You can find more detail in this User Tip: Date and Time in the Menu Bar (10.3, 10.4) and if you are interested in how things have changed, this is the equivalent for 10.2 and 10.1: Date and Time in the Menu Bar (10.2).

Can't get menu items to be displayed

Hello,
The answer to my problem is probably quite simple but I can't see it and its driving me crazy, basically I can't get my menu items to be displayed like file, create and search. But what ever I add to the file menu items like open or save isn't displayed and I don't know why I think it may have to do with the action listeners but I'm not sure how or why or it could be because of where it is placed in the code, but again I'm not sure. Any help will be appreciated thanks!

It's because you are mixing Swing components and AWT components. The menu items are actually displayed, but they are hidden behind the panel with all the buttons. Things will work fine if you change the following line:
Panel p1 = new Panel(); // This is an AWT panel. Use this instead:
JPanel p1 = new JPanel();Read more about it here:

Is it possible to turn off the menu bar on secondary display?

I have upgraded to Mavericks on an iMac used exclusively for presentations (not mirrored) and now the menu bar shows up dimmed on the presentation screen if there is not a presentation currently playing. I have not found any setting for turning off for that display. Can it be done? If not Apple please add this option ASAP because it looks very unprofessional to have the menu bar pop-up on the presentation display in between presentations.
Has anyone found a solution to this problem?

It worked but needed some further finessing to perfect.
After unchecking "Displays have separate Spaces" and logging out and back in the menu bar was gone but however now it showed the same desktop picture as was on the primary display. That was highly undesireable as I was trying to get rid of anything being shown on the projection screen when a slide show was not playing.
I played around with the "Desktop & Screen Saver" preference pane and discovered that I could still change the Desktop pictures of each display separately -- whew! I was worried there for a while. Not sure why it didn't just keep the original solid black desktop setting for that display as that would have been ideal but I was able to change it back to the solid black setting as before and now it just looks like the projection screen is off whenever a slide show is not playing -- perfect!
Let me just say to Apple that the whole process was very unintuitive and couldn've been solved with just a simple checkbox in the "Displays" preference pane to turn off the menu bar for the alternate display. So may I kindly suggest you consider adding some sort of option to do that in the Displays preference pane where it would be much more intiuitive than "Mission Control --> Uncheck Deisplays have separate Spaces."
Thanks again for you help!

Can't See Tool Bars??

When I last used Safari before I downloaded the newer version I had it where it hid all of the tool bars and Bookmarks and everything. Then when I downloaded the new one I can't seem to figure out how to put it back on where I can see the URL bar and Bookmarks bar and such. HELP?!?

Hi Shanna,
If you've managed to hide all the menus, press the alt key to make the menu bar appear. From that you can then re-enable the things you want to see under the View menu.

Why can't the Menu Bar and the Navigation Tool, share the same line?

With the Menu Bar and the Navigation Tool, now on separate lines, there's all this wasted space right above the address bar. What mental giant thought this up?

You can move the items on the Navigation Toolbar to the Menu bar if you want to have them on that bar.

Note that you are not able to click items on the menu bar if you hide the menu bar to get the Firefox menu button and use Alt or F10 to display the Menu bar (it is a bug).
