CC Menu bar panel and app status issues

After my iMac 27" late 2009 had to be force restarted after an unrelated crash the Adobe CC app shows that none of my apps are installed, even though I have Photoshop, Illustrator, Muse Lightroom and Indesign installed and running correctly. Lathough it doesn't seem to be effecting use of my apps I would like to see CC to display correct information as I might miss out on updates etc.
Also, I'm using multiple 'spaces' on my Mac to quickly swipe between various full screen apps. However, every time I swipe to another space the Adobe CC menue panel pops up. A quick click makes it disappear again but it becomes quite annoying after a short while.
Has anybody got any solutions to these problems?

Try to uninstall CC desktop app from Applications > Adobe Creative Cloud folder and then re-install CC desktop app from the CC wensite. https://creative.adobe.com/products
As far as the "spaces" issue is concerned, check the below article.

Menu bar date and time is flashing and spotlight doesn't work

Help! My menu bar date and time in top right corner suddenly started flashing and Spotlight doesn't seem to work. It would normally appear just below the date and time. Is this a known issue? 10.4.7 on a 1 GHz G4 (eMac).
Any ideas - I tried restarting with no difference.

Create a new account, name it "test" and see how your Finder and Spotlight work in that User acct? (That will tell if your problem is systemwide or limited to your User acct.) This account is just for test, do nothing further with it.
Open System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" make it an admin account.
Let us know and we'll troubleshoot this further.

Menu bar clock and menu bar input menu disappear

Every time I reboot the menu bar clock and the menu bar input menu ("the flag") disappear. I have to re-tick the options in the System Preferences (Date & Time > Clock > Show the date and time; International > Input Menu > Show input menu in menu bar). However, after the next reboot they're gone again. What can I do to keep them there permanently?

You may need to try trashing the com.apple.systemuiserver.plist.
This can be found in HD/User/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
Just delete it and reboot.
Then try to set the new preferences.

How can I turn off auto-hide menu bar in Terminal app?

This is soooo anoying. Open terminal app in fullscreen mode, open a few tabs, now when you move your mouse to the top to click on a new tab, the menu bar shows itself and covers the tabs.
I want to turn off this feature to auto-hide the menu bar. I would much rather have it move all the tabs down a bit when the menu bar apprears.
Any ideas to help fix the issue?

Can't turn that off. It's a feature of full screen mode. If you place your mouse at the bottom of the tab you want to select, the Terminal Menu bar doesn't pop up for me.

Spry Menu Bar 2.0 auto-width issues for sub items

I am testing the spry menu bar 2.0 and it displays perfectly in IE 9.0/8.0 but the auto width is not working for Firefox (testing 3.6.16), Chrome (testing 10.0.648.205), or Safari for windows. Content is being driven by PHP and MySQL. This is the first time I have come across something working better in IE than the other browsers. Great job on the IE patch script. How do I get the other browsers to cooperate?

Mac Keeps Crashing - Menu Bar Disappears and Nothing Will Run

I'm having major problems with a macbook, 2.2Ghz, 4Gb RAM, 160Gb Hard Drive, 10.5.2
I'm not sure if this is a software bug, something to do with the fact that I've recently installed 4Gb RAM, replacing 2Gb that I installed a few months ago, or possibly something with parallels desktop running Vista, I recently installed several vista updates.
Basically, there are several ways in which the computer keeps crashing - I've pretty much figured out how to make it crash now. When it crashes, the menu bar disappears, sometimes leaving the shadow beneath it and the right hand icons, sometimes not, and the dock becomes useless - nothing will run. I cant use expose etc or switch between windows. Pressing Cmd Alt Esc to open the force quit dialogue box bring up an empty box - implying that nothing whatsoever is running! I have to physically shut down the computer using by holding the power button and start it back up again. When it starts up, it sometimes continues to refuse to work until i restart it again. There is no message whatsoever about having restarted or crashed.
The computer will work fine for most processes, but the things making it crash are:
1. Entering Time Machine (I've had to stop backing up and disconnect my time machine drive now)
2. Using parallels desktop - I run windows vista, and it'll work fine until I launch any applications that are more complicated than just solitaire or freecell - windows messenger and powerpoint will cause the crash. OSX won't be working, but windows will continue to work fine - I can finish what Im doing and shut it down, although keyboard input no longer works. I then have to restart OSX.
3. Running DVD Player in Front Row has now started bringing up the grey screen of death and telling me to restart.
Obviously these things can be avoided - but I can't back up my computer, I can't watch DVD's without crashing the computer, restarting and then going straight into DVD player, and I can't use the copy of Vista on Parallels that I've just spent a fair bit of money on.
I've tried taking out each of the 2Gb Kingston RAM cards, which came brand new and sealed, to see if one or other is possibly faulty, but they are both causing the same problems. I don't have the previous RAM cards to hand to test.
Has anyone here experienced anything like this before, or can anyone help me?

Hiya Pricerob,
Your problems seem to be exactly the same as the issue I'm having when it happens. Can I ask how much RAM you have installed, and how frequently the problem occurs? I'm curious also because I'm planning on buying an imac soon, and was planning on installing the 4Gb of RAM I have into that when it arrives - the £300 apple charges for the upgrade is a little excessive.
I mentioned that I've tried to download the latest firmware update, but it keeps crashing upon completion. Have you had any issues like this?
Another really obscure thing I've found regarding the firmware update is that it saves an install file to my Applications/Utilities folder. This file would cause my mac to crash. Every time I opened the utilities folder, it would crash. I moved it to the desktop, and had major issues where the computer would crash immediately upon startup because the file was there, and the same problem once I managed to get it in the trash. It was only by accessing the macbook in target disk mode that I was able to delete the file and use my computer as normal again.
Anyway, considering the problems I've had, would anyone say it's worth risking installing the RAM into a new imac when it comes, considering that the problems with my macbook are ongoing even when the RAM is removed and I can easily reinstall the operating system on a brand new computer, or should I leave it and buy some more?

Horizontal menu bar height and formating

I'm trying to put a horizontal menu bar into a table cell
that's 507px wide by 21px high. I've run into two issues.
First, adding a Spry MenuBar to this cell causes it to grow
by 1px in height and thus throwing off all of my graphics in other
cells. Setting the height in ul.MenuBarHorizontal to 21px does not
change this (20px, auto, inherit didn't change it either). I've
tried smaller fonts. Any ideas on how to get this work?
Second - if I don't set the height to a pixel value in
ul.MenuBarHorizontal, my background image is only displayed behind
the menu items. That leaves a good bit of white space. My
background image is 1px wide by 21px high and is stretched to fill
the full background. Setting a height will make the background
image cover the complete cell. Is that a feature?
thanks,
Dan

If I change the positioning element in ul.MenuBarHorizontal
to absolute, my horizontal menubar fits within the cell and does
not cause it to grow. Any other setting for positioning throws off
the cell size and screws up my sliced graphics in other cells of
the table. I don't understand why the menubar shifts in a fixed
width/height cell. If it's set to static or fixed, the cell grows
by 1px in height. If it is set to relative, it grows much
larger.

Missing menu bars in KDE apps

The menu bars have disappeared in some KDE apps such as Okular and Kdenlive, so I can't use them properly any more!
But some apps like KWrite seem to not be affected.
I am using Plasma Desktop 5.2.1.
Pressing Ctrl+M does nothing.

Update menu bar icon and error install message

Hi, two questions.
The CS5 software update now puts an icon in the menu bar. Every time I mouse over it I get the spinning beach ball in Mac OSX 10.6.3. I even went into the update preferences and turned it off and it is still there. Maybe I need to restart my Mac. Still it is annoying. Any one else have this issue
Second, After I installed CS5 I went into Applications> Adobe Folder> and there was an adobe "Help" icon when I clicked on it (not sure if I should have done that) it said this (see image):
After that the icon became a generic icon asa seen in the error message. Any help would be appreciated.
Paul W.

Hi Paul 9,
Were you able to fix this?
I have same issue with this annoying spinning ball always running there when I mouse over. I am running on Mac OSX 10.6.4.
I've tried to force quit the finder, no result, I've tried also an update (with illustrator update menu) and I did uncheck the "notify me of new updates..." in the Adobe application manager" and I also did uncheck the "Send reports to Adobe on success or failure of update installation" with no results.
I'm kind of clueless with this, anyone has same issue or solution to this?
Thanks for any help.

Spry Menu Bar Colors and Pictures in Dreamweaver

I'm having some trouble changing the color of the spry menu
bars that I created in Dreamweaver. Whenever I preview them in a
browser they show up as grey with black text. What I want them to
show up as is blue with white text before the mouse goes over them
and highlights them. When the mouse goes over them I want them to
still be blue with white text and also my drop down menu options as
well.
What would be the fastest and easiest way to do this and if
there is what css code is required for me to change? I'm unfamiliar
with how css code works.
I'm also having some problems with copying and pasting
pictures and editing them too. what software can i download that is
free that i can use to edit my pictures.
I have the trial version mind you and I'm trying to get this
finished as fast as I can.

> What would be the fastest and easiest way to do this and

> code is required for me to change?
Bring up your page and adjust the CSS in the
SpryMenuHorizontal.css or
SpryMenuVertical.css page that is attached. All the color
values are in
there.
>I'm unfamiliar with how css code works.
You need to change this. Without a thorough working knowledge
of HTML and
CSS (at the very least), you will never have great success in
either
Dreamweaver or web design. I first learned web design using
Notepad, typing
every single tag, and I am soo grateful now that I had that
solid coding
experience .. without it, this program would be very hard to
master.

Free? I'm not sure any more .. you can use either the 30 day
trial of
Fireworks or Photoshop (Fireworks would probably be easier to
pick up) but
if you're going to do a lot of this, you need to get some
good tools and
learn them well.

In Yosemite, How do I change the background color of menu bar, dock and sidebar?

Right now my background for the Menu Bar, Dock, etc is RED. I'd like to change it to something more subtle.
Anyone know how?
Does it relate to the desktop picture I have? or ???

You can change the background display color in the playback preferences, either black, white, or checkerboard. This does not change the output color. If you want to add a color to the video, you have to place a custom generator underneath your video and change the color in the inspector.

Menu bar disappears, and dock stops working

I run a simple server using a Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5 with 7GB memory, a 1T raid drive and OS 10.5.8. The last time I changed any hardware, ram etc, was two years ago.
The Mac simply sits there and feeds files to the other Macs in my network, so no one is looking at it. It seems to have an odd crash, which does not affect its ability to serve files.
The menu bar will disappear and the dock and all applications will stop working. The dock will bounce an icon when it's clicked, but the program doesn't launch.
Neither "control-comand-eject" nor "option-comand-escape" work. I have to do a hard shut down.
I've run disk utility and repaired permissions. I've run DiskWarrior (v4.1) and rebuilt the directory etc. I've run Techtools Pro (v4.6.2) and run all diagnostics, including the surface scan (took 15 hours). It still acts the same.
The only other oddity I've found is that photo files will randomly go "bad". They're not going bad during a transfer, as I open each file after transferring to the Mac, and confirming they are okay. Then a day, a week, a month or a year later, I look for an image and find it with coloured strips through it, sometime wiping out the entire image. I have no idea if this is related.
Any ideas what's wrong and how to fix it?

Hello Keith,
Sounds like a RAM problem mostly, or RAM slot problem.
The Memory test can really only be trusted if it finds a problem, not if it doesn't find a problem.

Icons in menu bar disappear and show up again

All icons in my icon bar in the upper right corner disappear every other second and start to show up again one after each other.
I have no clue how to stop this annoying behavior. I did not do anything special.
Does anybody have any idea?
THX

Go to ~(Home)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist and delete that file then log out and back in or restart. Your menu bar should return to default.
This may solve it, or the problem may actually be in the .plist of the application you used. Go through your preferences and see if any name without "com.apple..." rings a bell. Don't delete it just drag it to the desktop and log out and back in or restart.
Let us know.

Menu bar date and time format in Lion

Is there a way to change the formatting of the date and time shown in the menu bar in Lion? I've been googling for a while, but can't find a solution. At the moment the time has a very unusual format of <hh:mm.ss>. Note the '.' before seconds. What I want to achieve is to change that dot to a colon as it normally is (and was in Leopard and earlier, don't know about Snow Leopard), ie. <hh:mm:ss>. I've checked the date and time formats in system settings several times, but those have no effect on the menu bar. When I set the clock to display an analogue icon and click on it, the date and time in the popup menu are shown correctly using the full format.

Well ofcourse I am. And no, I am not using a third party utility. This functionality has been available in OSX for ages.
I never noticed that option!
It works ok for me (with a colon, not a dot).
Is it possible you have a dead pixel where the top dot of the colon should be?
