Computer starts up but HD and Menu bar are not visible?

Recently my Powerbook G4 began to act strangely and either freeze or slow way down for the first time in its four years of use. I have a new IMac to replace it. Here is my current problem:
I'm trying to copy over some files via Firewire. I start my powerbook in target mode. Its icon appears on my new imac and I start to copy over. Midway through copying, I dragged an open window to a different place on the screen of my new computer, and the copy stalled/froze. I couldn't drag the target HD icon to the trash to shut down my powerbook properly, so I held down its power key and it turned off.
Now, when I try to restart the powerbook in target mode, its icon wont appear on my new computer's desktop, though the 'I'm in target mode' screen saver bounces around on my powerbook.
When I try to boot up my Powerbook to shut it down properly on its own, it starts up, but the stuff I have stored on my desktop, including the HD icon, don't appear. Neither does the menu bar, so I can't shut it down that way. The dock appears, as does the photo that I use for my desktop image. I can click on dock applications, and they do the bouncy thing, but they don't open.
Any ideas? Thanks very much to anyone who can help!

And how did Single User Mode work out?
If you can't start it up in SUM or from an installer disc, put it in FW Target Disk mode again and see whether Disk Utility on the host Mac can see it to make repairs. DU may be able to see the drive even if it doesn't appear on the desktop of the host machine.
My guess is that by disconnecting it improperly in FWTDM (not that you had much choice under the circumstances), you well and truly hosed the hard drive.

I have iphone 4 and it connect to some wireless networks and some others are not visible while other lphones can find these networks and i tried to restart the phone many times and there is no result, kindly advice

i have iphone 4 and it connect to some wireless networks and some others are not visible while other lphones can find these networks and i tried to restart the phone many times and there is no result, kindly advice

Some updates and clarifications:
1. I already have my 2.4 channel fixed.
2. Wireless network name is 8 alphanumeric characters; no spaces
3. Already using WPA2 security with a 10 alphanumeric key (again, no spaces)
4. I am running Airport Utility 6.0, Mac OS version 10.7.4
I should also say that these problems started happening less than a month ago...prior to that all devices where working normally.
An added update: My two e-readers (nook ST and Kindle 3) are also refusing to connect...perhaps confirming that I have 2.4 GHz issues?

Safari: Will NOT Open and Menu Bar will NOT Respond to input

If you updated to 6.1 & the problems began then - you might have Glims installed...

Menu bar is not visible, but neither is Full Screen mode button. How do I fix this?

While I am in Firefox, it appears that I am in Full Screen mode, as my Menu Bar is missing while in the application, but when I looked up how to troubleshoot, it told me to click on the Full Screen mode button (with diagonal arrows) but it is not visible anywhere in my browser. How else can I get out of Full Screen mode? Thank you!

On Mac you can use: command+Shift+F

My menu bar is not visible until I click on Finder

Can't be sure if this started after 10.6.5, but my menu bar wld sometime not appear (after login) until I click on the Finder. Help!

That piece of weirdness showed up in 10.6.0 and has continued. It happens to me on fairly rare occasions, to my brother somewhat more often. Since a simple click "fixes" it I've never bothered to investigate further or file a bug report. If it really annoys you, you could report it to Apple here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
Actually, it seems to me that it is happening even less often now than it was initially.

Bounding box, paths and control points are not visible

When I select an element, in this case a building, to make changes, the entire file is selected instead of the building. There is nothing to ungroup when this happens. Can someone tell me how to fix this? Thanks

pk,
You may have a look for Clipping Masks or other means of disguising the artwork. You may start by looking at the Layers palette/panel (expand as needed).
Presuming we are not just talking about View>Show Bounding Box (and/or Show Edges).

Desktop icons non responsive but dock and menu bar ok

I have at times had a situation where my dock is accessible and the top menu also accessible but non of the icons on the desktop can be accessed. You can click on them all you want and they do not respond. Even the disk drive (which I have displayed on the desktop) can not be accessed through the desktop but it can through the Finder via the dock. The only way to have access to the desktop icons is to go to "force quit" via the apple menu and then select "Relaunch Finder" which after complete will allow the icons on the desktop to be accessible. Does anyone know what the problem is so that I don't have to go through this each time I let the computer sit for a while?

Performance tip: Keep the Desktop clutter-free (empty, if possible)
Mac OS X's Desktop is the de facto location for downloaded files, and for many users, in-progress works that will either be organized later or deleted altogether. The desktop can also be gluttonous, however, becoming a catch-all for files that linger indefinitely.
Unfortunately - aside from the effect of disarray it creates - keeping dozens or hundreds of files on the Desktop can significantly degrade performance. Not necessarily because the system is sluggish with regard to rendering the icons on the desktop and storing them in memory persistently (which may be true in some cases), but more likely because keeping an excessive number of items on the Desktop can cause the windowserver process to generate reams of logfiles, which obviously draws resources away from other system tasks. Each of your icons on your desktop is stored as a window in the window server, not as an alias. The more you have stored, the more strain it puts on the window server. Check your desktop for unnecessary icons and clear them out.
Keeping as few items as possible on the Desktop can prove a surprisingly effective performance boon. Even creating a single folder on your Desktop and placing all current and future clutter inside, then logging out and back in can provide an immediately noticeable speed boost, particularly for the Finder.
And it is why Apple invented 'Stacks' for Leopard.
Here is Apple's take on the subject:

I installed Maverick on my Intel IMac. All my icons and menu bar are tiny. How do I get them back to large Can't find how to make larger in preferences

Help
All icons now tiny on my 27" iMac. Can't find anything in preferences to change the sizes.

There isn't a way to change those sizes. You must reduce your display resolution.
In Display System preferences, Display tab, select Scaled.
Then, pick a resolution that is sufficiently large.

Mouse is very laggy while using trackpad, but click and right click are not

This problem started yesterday. While using the trackpad, the mouse became very laggy. I stopped to see if a few minutes would help fix the problem, but the mouse kept moving sporadically. I can click and right click fine and with no lag, but the mouse is either non responsive or extremely laggy. The problem was infrequent at first, but now it is almost constantly there. I'm using a MacBook Pro with Mac OSX version 10.5.8.

Use the Toshiba application installer to reinstall the Touchpad driver.
To find it search your laptop for Toshiba application installer and run it is will download and install all your drivers.

Icons of firefox menu bar are not shown properly

I've recently updated my firefox to Version 35.0, When I opened it the icons for the menubar are missing. I tried using the suggestions found in this site:
1.Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced
2.gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled
3. reset firefox to default
but not of these worked. I haven't noticed if there are changes in web sites though. But it's just frustrating that i can't see icons on my browser

Did you try to click the Restore Defaults button in the Customize palette window?
Try to rename (or delete) the xulstore.json file in the Firefox profile folder.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
*Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.

I have adobe reader 11.0.09 for windows 7 pdf are opening but minimize and close icon are not showing

please help

Solution found. By enabling a lockdown feature, we prevented Adobe from trying to muck about getting online. Actually NSA provides recommendations on how to lock down Adobe Reader, google "NSA recommendations for configuring Adobe Reader XI in a Windows Environment". We only used:
HKLM\Software\Policies\Adobe\<product>\<version>\FeatureLockDown\cCloud
bDisableADCFileStore REG_DWORD Set to 1

Transports successful, but changes made in Dev. are not visible in the QA.

Hi,
I have made a couple of transports from Dev. to QA relating to few queries. Query elements include newly added variables and formula chages. All the transports were successfully and none of them produced niether an error nor a warning message. But what bothers me is why have the queries in QA didnot catch the changes made in Dev and transported to QA. This is quite strange for me. Can any one of you help me.
Thanks
Raj

Hi Kiran/AVR,
Sorry for the delayed response. query elements are successfully collected in the request. I can see in QA system that "Object imported and generated or activated" in the Lock/Import status field in SE10. Also the relevant tables in QA like RSZELTDIR, RSZCHANGES, RSZELTPROP are updated with these objects.
I am still not able to understand why the query in QA has not captured the changes.
Thanks
Raj

Hi Madhu,
My Understanding:
1. When you enter the main/header product in the item details, the item catefory for the header product gets determined.
2. Your components can also be seen below as sub-items automatically, but the item category is not determined.
Tell me if my understanding is correct.
If Yes, u need to maintain the item category determination for the sub-items or components as well.
Transaction Type: Put the service order transaction type
Item Category Group: Check the item category group of your component product in COMMPR01 (Material tab/ Sales and Distribution Tab)
Item Category Usage: Leave it Blank
Main Item Category: Put the header product item category
Item category: Put the desired item category here.
Also ensure that in the customizing of the header item category, u have maintained the Structure Scope as A- Single Level Explosion of Structured Products.
