Clock will not display, Eject button not working

Odd problems. Users clock will not display, check the box and it will not stay, clock never appears. Now the eject button will not function properly.
Logged in as a different user, same problems. Must be a system thing...
Ran Disk utilities both while in the OS and from the install CD. It did find some problems but says it repaired them all. No change.
Ran TechTool Pro, it said it found some problems and fixed them. No change.
Trashed all preferences and .plists, reboot. Everything reset to defaults no change to clock or eject button.
System is G4 Mirror Door Dual 1.25Ghz, 1GB RAM, on system 10.3.9 all updates applied.
The odd thing is everything else seems to be working properly... None of the Apps complain or display anything wrong...
Any other thoughts would be appreciated.

Ryan,
I see that you list X Serv and Tiger 10.4.2 for your computer profile. I presume that you are talking about a different computer in the text of your post since you specify system 10.3.9.
Problems of that nature can often be rectified by removing the com.apple.systemuiserver.plist from the ~Library/Preferences Folder, or by reapplying the most recent Combo update.

  • Windows 8.1 64bit ,eject button not working

    I have an imac and have installed windows 8.1 64 bit and everything works well except my eject button on my apple keyboard. so now I cant intall any programs from disk. also my apple super drive isn't showing up omn 'my computer ' in windows
    im pretty sure I installed the needed newest drivers...so what am I missing?

    On your Bootcamp drivers there should be a driver named AppleODDInstaller64.exe which is the Optical Disk Drive installer. You can copy this to the a USB and install it on the Windows side for it to recognize the Optical disk and the eject button should work. You are also going to need AppleKeyboardInstaller64.exe  for the keyboard to be recognized.
    There is also a mechanism to eject the disk using OSX terminal and using diskutil eject on the OSX side. See man diskutil for the OSX side.

  • HT204291 Using Azul media player app on my ipad  Apple tv will only display sound but not video from movies.  Any ideas on a fix.  I set mirroring to on but it still does not display video.  It will display photos and video recorded from my iphone.

    Using Azul media player app on my ipad  Apple tv will only display sound but not video from movies.  Any ideas on a fix.  I set mirroring to on but it still does not display video.  It will display photos and video recorded from my iphone.

    Here are the steps for AirPlay:
    Before starting Azul from your (running iOS 5.x/6.x) home screen where have have all your apps we need to turn on mirroring
    On your iPhone 4S/5 or iPad 2 or 3, double-click the Home  Button to view your recently-used apps.
    Swipe all the way to the right to until you see the  icon.
    Note: If the icon does not appear, go to the "If AirPlay Mirroring is not visible or available on your mobile iOS device" section.
    Tap the  icon to see the list of available AirPlay devices.
    Enable AirPlay Mirroring in this menu by tapping on an available Apple TV, then sliding the Mirroring slider to ON.
    Now you should be seeing your iPad/iPhone on your TV.
    Start up Azul now and using the settings icon on the top right corner go to the option that say "TV out" ON.
    When you do that you will see an Orange screen
    Now click "Done" and play the video you want to watch and it will AirPlay

  • Cinema Display Power Button Not Functional

    The power button on my cinema display does nothing when pressed. The other button on the display (display preferences button) does work as expected. I have confirmed that the 'Disable power button' is not selected in the display settings panel.
    The button glows brighter when I press it, but nothing else happens.
    I would like to be able to start up and shut down my computer with this button since my bluetooth keyboard cannot do it, and I keep my laptop shut when it is connected to the external display.
    I was just given this display, so I do not know if has ever worked.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Ron,
    Possibly a daft question but do have either of the Cinema Display's USB or firewire cables plugged into your G4 as well as the DVI connection? This may sound obvious but I couldn't get the buttons on my 20" ACD to work until I plugged the USB connection into my Macbook.

    Does a method in your PicMsgComposer silently catch an exception and returns
    an empty array or null?
    That what the trace looks like.
    The real problem might be an AccessControlException thrown by checkPermission or
    a class that is not found (classpath) or something else.

  • Yosemite - MacBook Air 10.10 - "Notes" does not open - "Preview" opens, but does not display PDF's - "iCal" works in new strange ways, as if no one checked its operation - Everything worked very well until Upgrade to Yosemite ! - Happen to others?

    Thanks for your lengthy reminder dude, I have a similar Mac with yours. I suspect its a software fault because it happens after I upgraded to Lion, 10.7.2.

  • I have restored my new replacement iPhone 5s from my latest iCloud back up. However my camera roll pictures are not displaying. Its not saying i don't have any pictures, it just shows empty white squares? How do I get my pictures back? Thanks!

    I have restored my new replacement iPhone from my latest iCloud back up. However my camera roll pictures are not displaying. Its not saying I don't have any pictures in my camera roll, it has all the spaces for them, but it just shows empty white squares? How do I get my pictures back? Thanks!

    It's difficult to say whether it's stuck or not as the time to restore a backup can depend on many factors.  You'll have to decide when you think it's just not continuing.  You could try turning the phone off (hold the power button until you see the red off slider, then slide to turn off), then back on to see if that would get it going again.
    When you're convinced it's just hung, you can go back to settings and tap Stop Restoring iPhone to stop the restore.  You'll then have to try restoring it again (Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup).  Be sure it's connected to your charger and wifi while it's restoring the backup.
    You might also try the approach posted here by ezjules: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19518589#19518589.  This seems to have worked for some people who had trouble restoring their photos from an iCloud backup.

  • Notes displays title but not the content

    Was a Yosemite beta user. Since updating to the shipping version of Yosemite, Apple's Notes app will display the title/date of each note, but when I select a title, the content of the note does not display. These notes, synced through iCloud, display as usual on my iOS devices. Ideas?

    How many Notes are affected?
    If you do not have a great many of them, use this workaround:
    Quit Notes on your MacBook Pro.
    De-select Notes in iCloud.
    On your iOS device, edit one of the missing Notes. Make any arbitrary change; it does not matter.
    Repeat for each of the missing Notes.
    On your Mac, select Notes in iCloud again, then launch the Notes app. The missing Notes will reappear as they are downloaded from iCloud.
    If you have a great many Notes: do you have a Time Machine backup?

  • Eject button wont work after leopard install

    Once i installed leopard my eject button stopped working on my G5. I have to restart the computer for it to work. Is there anyway to get it to work without having to restart it every time? Should i reinstall Leopard because im missing iphoto and a couple other programs since the first install so i dont know if im missing more?

    just a thought .... Leopard uses the "soft" eject feature which requires you to hold down the eject for a second before the tray will open. Helps when you accidentally hit it.
    i-Life, i.e., iPhoto,iWeb,iMovie, Garageband, doesn't come with Leopard, you now have to purchase these separate. Unless you buy an Apple computer.
    Hope this helps

  • Eject button wont work

    well ever since i upgraded from Panther to Leopard my eject button wont work. i have to restart my whole computer for it to work and that gets tedious after a while. when you first turn on the the G5 it doesnt work no matter how long you hold the button down, unless you restart it so can anyone help?

    Yea, having to hold the button for second or two right? Unless i restart the computer that doesnt work and i could hold the eject button down for days without a thing happening. I did the menu eject and that doesnt work either.

  • Remote control and eject button not working?

    Hey.
    Not too much to explain - my remote control does not work at all, and neither does my cd eject button on the keypad. This is after the installation of Leopard.
    I've tried to search for the issue but only find people complaining about the new Front Row design or how they cannot eject volumes at all. (Which is not my case)
    Has some people had this error and fixed it?
    Thanks in advance.

    The remote control could be because I deactivated my IR receiver
    That leaves my eject button.

  • Eject button not working on dvd/cd tray

    You name it, I've tried it! Apples advice was to backup my work and wipe the dripe and reinstall the OS. Guess what - the eject button still doesn't work! Well done apple. That'll be 2 days wasted of precious production time.
    All this after a new power supply and logic board being installed by the apple store in birmingham because the mac had no power going to it. (6 week old MacPro 2.66) Yet the eject button worked fine when it came back from repair.
    Has anybody got and realistic ideas as to why the eject button doesn't work.
    I can manually eject the tray and also when using toast I can eject the tray - its just in the OS that its not working. I hav tried dropping a link to the eject button on the customize menu but the icon is just greyed out.
    I have even dropped in a brand new cd/dvd drive from another mac still with the same result.

    Right - the story is concluded - Finally!!!! Apparently when the technician removed the optical drive unit whilst fitting the new power supply and logic board he didn't fit the cables back into the right places on the drive!!!
    But at least now its fixed and I can get back on with some work.

  • Eject Button Not Working

    When i press the eject button, the cd or disc inside my macbook pro does not come out, so instead i have to drag the disc to the eject icon, which is really annoying, this is not a new problem to me, but it has gotten to me, so please if anyone has any answers please help!

    All I can think of is that somehow you've mapped the Eject key to another function, have you installed any utilities that allow you to change how the Function keys work ?
