Dark line across white menu bar space

Something really weird just happened. Across the white menu bar (where it lists Finder and shows the clock, etc) there is now a somewhat faint black line. it's a few cm thick, and looks a little blurred. This is what happened prior to the line appearing:
I was downloading the latest update to Quicktime
I was trying to transfer a song from my iTunes library, as well as a video, to my iDisk.
I was adjusting the brightness of the screen.
The iDisk locked up... it said there was 5 secs. left of the transfer. Also, the updater said I had to restart the computer. I did this, but when I restarted the screen was really dark. I was playing with the adjuster, and the screen went black. I restarted again, and the brightness was ok... I still had to adjust it to make it lighter.
Now everything seems to be working ok (except my iTunes music file and video say they are in use by OSX and cannot be opened... I just deleted them)
but I have this crazy line across the top of the screen.
Please help?

Hey, thanks everyone. I am running Tiger on my iBook... I have Panther still on my iMac, but will probably upgrade sooner.
I am at work now (using Tiger as well) and notice the line here, too. I guess I just didn't notice it on the iBook until I had the little issue with the display brightness.
The line really doesn't make the bar look 3D, just sort of dirty. Oh well.
Thanks so much for the reassurance!!

Many of my photos appear briefly as I scroll down the page then disappear leaving a box outlined with a broken-line. The menu bar says that I have 300 pictures hidden, but I am unable to get them unhidden.

I am experiencing difficulty with iPhoto '11. Some of more recent photos can not be accessed. As I scroll down the page of photos, the most recent ones appear briefly, then disappear to be replaced with a box outlined by a broken-line. The menu bar says that I have 317 photos hidden. Hiding photos is not something that I normally do, can't imagine why these are hidden. Anyway, when I try to unhide the photos, I can view them as an event, but if I click on a single photo, or try to move it into an album, the photo does not display. Instead I get a dark exclamation point within a triangle. Another problem with these same photos is on the event page there is no key photo for these events only a dark screen. I can't find an answer to my problem. Has anyone experienced this? What is the problem and how can I correct it?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

How do I get rid of this black line under the menu bar?

This last update's UI ugliness is a black/dark gray line under the menu bar:

Sorry I can't help you myself, I am still using Firefox 28 while I try to Customize the 29-plus versions without resorting to using CTR. I have tried it, but I prefer doing my own "cobbles" rather than rely upon an extension that "restores" much what I didn't like about Firefox 4.0 thru 28 and overrides what I do like about Australis. IOW, CTR 'fixes' things about 90% opposite of what I would do, if I had the talent to do a "retro extension".
''IMO, the orange Firefox button was the worst thing that Mozilla has ever done to Firefox. The Menu bar worked fine before Firefox 4 came out and still does, it just doesn't have be showing all the time = Compact Menu and its' derivatives over the years was the 'ticket' for me starting from before Firefox was even named Firefox.''

How can I automatically "retract" all windows from my Thunderbolt display back to my MacBook Air when I disconnect the display, esp if the Thunderbolt is the desktop with the white menu bar?

I am in and out of my office with my MacBook Air. I would like to set it up so when I plug in my Thunderbolt display in the office, the Thunderbolt display has my desktop, menu bar and the open windows. If I set the Thunderbolt display to mirror by MacBook Air it adjusts to the lower resolution of the MacBook Air, which is a waste of a cool monitor. I can set it up as an extended desktop and drag the white menu bar to the Thunderbolt display so it displays my desktop but if I then disconnect my MacBook Air, the menu bar is absent and all the windows that were seen on that display are absent, as if it I was still attached to the larger display. The only way around this is to go to Thunderbolt display preferences, drag the white menu bar back to the smaller display and manually drag all windows to the smaller display before disconnecting. Doing this multiple times per day is a real pain. Is there a way to set my MacBook Air to recognize when it is attached to the Thunderbolt display and automatically my desktop and all open windows to it and then do the same process in reverse when I unhook it?

It's definitely not supposed to work like that...when you plug the display in, it should just turn on and adjust your displays. It works like that on my MBP. Kind of a silly question, but do you have the MagSafe from the display plugged in your MBAir too? Thats a requirement. Beyond that, it should "just work."
Not sure if there is some setting to enable...i haven't seen it. Call to support?

Why does the white menu bar stay when in full screen?

Shortly after up grading to 3.4.1 this stated to happen:
1. I open App, not in full screen
2. press the "f" key, it's takes me to full screen mode but the white Aperture menu bar remains at the top, hideing adjustments.
3. I press the "f" key to get out of full screen & I loose both full screen & the "regular" viewer.
Not sure what's going on....by the way, it sometimes functions without this problem.
Any thoughts out there?
Thanks.

Chrome may somehow be set to run in full-screen mode. I don't use Chrome so can't check its settings options, but try hitting ESC when Chrome is doing this and see if you get the menubar and Dock to reappear.
OS X Mavericks: Take apps full screen

Can't change back to white menu bar and dock

When I uncheck the box, it just stays with the dark menu bar and dock.
How can i make it change again? I'm running the latest version of Yosemite 10.10.2

Do a backup.
Quit the application System Preferences.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart the computer, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

Scrolling between desktops causes Adobe CC to open and a small blank/white menu bar to appear

I have several desktops set up on my iMac (early 2013 model see screen shot for other details) and when scrolling back to desk top number 1 and if there are no other programs open the Creative cloud screen opens and a blank file appears with a greyed out menu bar on the left clicking anywhere on the screen closes both the CC screen and the blank file. I've had this problem from when I first installed CC (over a year ago now) and have lived with it assuming it would be fixed, but after many updates the problem is still there - see screen shot. Is there something I can do to stop this behaviour?
Cheers
Andrew

Add the following to your document
ul.MenuBarVertical {
display: inline-block;
Gramps

IMac has coloured horizontal lines in the menu bar

Do you know what is causing this? It occurs quite often even after restarting. YouTube videos also flash green a lot while watching them. The volume indicator also displays as below. It's a mid-2011 iMac12,2.

FWIW, those are vertical lines. For your issue, contact AppleCare's Express Lane. Do note that if you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine.

Version Cue in Bridge: Menu Bar not showing

I am a new Bridge user. I started to go through a tutorial and learn Version Cue. When I start Version Cue by using the Favorites in Bridge, (I have the layout set to default) and there is a large CONTENT panel in the center, it shows the Icons on the dark background, eg: Browse Servers, Recent Projects, [my version cue server]
What the tutorial is showing and my page does not, is a light gray/white menu bar above with some smaller icons, eg. one for Inspector, one for New Project...
How do I get that to show? I can work around some of this, but I have not been able to find how to show multiple versions in the Content window without it.

Jane,
You need to specify which exact version of Bridge and the OS you are running.
Aside from that, you should know that disabling Version Cue is often recommended as a remedy for a variety of Bridge ailments.
I don't have the suite and I have Version Cue permanently disabled.
Last, there is a dedicated
Version Cue forum deep in the entrails of the Creative Suite forum:

Why is my Menu Bar partially transparent? I can see my desktop instead of some of the icons like Print or Download.

The Menu Bar at top of the screen does not look right after the
Help entry. File thru Help is fine and have a white background.
After that I can see my screen background with icons for Print,
Downloads, and others superimposed. Some of the icons can
hardly be seen as they blend right in with my Wallpaper.
Furthermore the line above the Menu Bar has it's own problems:
It has the Firefox logo followed by some writing that go for
for about 6 inches followed by stuff from my wallpaper.
In other words, starting from the top of the screen I have
two short lines of stuff with a white background followed by
a see through view of stuff from my screen wallpaper.
Starting with the Navigation Toolbar everything is fine.
I don't have this problem with IE8. Can anyone shed some
light on this problem.
Thanks,
JWare

I don't want to change all my computer's visuals just because firefox has a bug in it! The Menu bar is rendered faintly and this is a bad idea. At least give me the choice . . . see image below. I have vista running ffox 4 and none of the fancy settings can fix this. Also I want transparency on! Most programs work properly. They don't force me to adhere to some idiot programers whims, likes or dislikes.
Of course ranting this way will get me nowhere . . . such is life.

Make a logo overlap menu bar

I have a logo picture file that has a transparent background. Below that I have a spry menu bar and then the main box with content. The logo is my name in script. I want the J of my logo to drop down below the top line of the menu bar, just like it would if you were writing on lined paper.
Any help would be appreciated.

Try absolutely positioning the logo,
HTML
Change line 96:
<img src="Images/brown logo.png" width="587" height="195" />
to
<div class="logo"><img src="Images/brown logo.png" width="587" height="195" /></div>
CSS
Add a new rule
.logo {
     position: absolute;
     top: 30px;
     left: 50px;
     z-index: 9999;
Change (starts line 44)
.container {
width: 1260px;
max-width: 1260px;/* a max-width may be desirable to keep this layout from getting too wide on a large monitor. This keeps line length more readable. IE6 does not respect this declaration. */
min-width: 780px; /* the auto value on the sides, coupled with the width, centers the layout. It is not needed if you set the .container's width to 100%. */
margin-top: 0;
margin-right: auto;
margin-bottom: 0;
margin-left: auto;
height: 550px;
to
.container {
width: 1260px;
max-width: 1260px;/* a max-width may be desirable to keep this layout from getting too wide on a large monitor. This keeps line length more readable. IE6 does not respect this declaration. */
min-width: 780px; /* the auto value on the sides, coupled with the width, centers the layout. It is not needed if you set the .container's width to 100%. */
margin-top: 150px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-bottom: 0;
margin-left: auto;
height: 550px;
Play with the values to get your preferred layout.
NOTE ON THE LOGO: http://www.photosbyalecia.com/Images/brown%20logo.png
Don't know if it's the final version or not but, as it stands, that logo is way too big for a web page. Needs optimizing.
It's 3448px x 1301 px scaled down in the web code to 587px x 195px.
Weighs in at 240KB. Should be 15KB max.
Browsers must first download the fullsize file then resize the image.
Suggest you resize it in Photoshop (or your favourite editor) to final size before uploading.

When Menu Bar is visible Firefox cannot be draged

If the Menu Bar is visible, the Firefox can be draged only by using a "line" where the title of a tab is shown, i.e. the area/line above the Menu Bar.
If the Menu Bar is hidden, then the whole windows title area can be used to drag the window.
Is there any settings which can be used to "fix" this problem?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

How Do I Make My Name Disappear From Menu Bar?

Line on the screen of my ipod touch 4th gen. Starts left of the screen as a blue (bright backgr) or red (dark backgr) line becoming white halfway and going across screen. Any ideas/solutions?

I have an irritating line on the screen of my 4th gen ipod touch going left to right. It starts out as a blue line (with bright backgroung) or red line (with dark background). Switching backrounds will also switch the color of the line. Sometimes it stops halfway the screen. Sometimes the blue/red line becomes white somewhere halfway the screen and continuing as a white line to the other side of the screen. It mostly starts out as a normal screen and when using the blue/red line appears and when using some more the white part appears.Mostly in the beginning the line starts flickering and becomes more steady after a while.
I have searched on the internet but can only find info on some pixels acting weird (stuck/frozen/dead pixels). This is a whole line of pixels not doing what they are supposed to do.
Anyone an idea what this could be and how to solve it?
Thanks,

Did you ever fix this? My daughters is the same. Treated with tender loving care, we reset to factory and it disappeared but was back again after 2 or 3 days. Still in warranty so going to take to the genius bar, however a bit concerned that because it belongs to an 11 year old they are going to assume she's damaged it.

How can I combine the nav bar and menu bar on the same line to save space?

Firefox v29 seems to be a huge step backward in customization. I need to save space for content so previously I turned off tabs and combined the menu bar and nav bar on the same line. The url space is way too long anyway. Now with v29 all my customization is gone and I cannot get it back. I can no longer move items on the nav bar to combine it with the menu bar. Why was this done? It only limits my ability to customize my browser? I am very frustrated that you took a great browser and ruined it.

I get it that Firefox has changed, but the change is for the worse. It makes it impossible to customize menus as I had before v.29.
