Date display bug in Finder, iTunes, menu bar
After upgrading to Snow Leopard, many of the date displays fail to show the actual date and are either blank or only display a time (e.g., 7:32PM, even if it refers to a date in the past).
Here's what it looks like in Finder (these files were NOT added today, i.e. there should be a date other than the present day, but instead it only shows a time): http://tweetphoto.com/5603142
And in iTunes, the Release Date column is suddenly empty, while the Date Added one also shows only a time: http://tweetphoto.com/5603164
Lastly, the Date & Time display in the menu bar (upper right-hand corner) refuses to display the custom format I had specified (which worked fine in Leopard) and only shows it as a greyed-out "option": http://tweetphoto.com/5603193
Any insight is greatly appreciated.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
For the grayed out menu portion go to Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist and delete this file, Then, log out and back in.
For the time settings try doing a pram reset try a PRAM reset.
If that's not it try going to Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist and delete this file, Then, log out and back in.

Why can't I find the menu bar when I open iTunes on my Windows 8 lap top
I have downloaded some music in iTunes on my iPod Touch [version 8.1.2]. I noticed that the iTunes also appears on my Windows 8 laptop and when I sign in the music I purchased appears but I cannot download it because the computer is, "not authorised". My account details show that 3 devices are connected to iTunes. I checked on Google how to authorize a computer and it says: choose store > authorize this computer from the menu bar but I cannot find a menu bar. Can anyone please tell me what to do?
Press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer, or click here, follow the instructions, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.

Recently updated to Yosemite 10.10.2 on MacBook Pro (early 2011) and now when I open a folder in Finder, the top 2-3 files displayed are hidden under Finder's menu bar. I can scroll up to see the files, but they snap back under the menu bar preventing me from selecting or opening them. This problem occurs in the following Finder view preferences, "icons" "in lists" and "in columns" but not "Cover Flow". Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you.
This sounds like a Windows thing ( You can post a photo and I can tell you for certain). Those folders are Windows system created folders that your computer has had since it was installed, all Firefox does is use the Windows File picker, which is what you see when you open that window. So, to customize you'd have to do that from Windows Explorer (not Firefox).
The Window should however remember what folder you were in last. -
When I have less than three tabs open after having more open, Firefox does not display the tabs along the menu bar. This means I can't see tabs when I have two open. Is this a glitch?
Note: I am aware that I can set Firefox to always show the tabs, but I do not like this setting for when I only have one tab opened.Hi,

How can I make my iPod show up in the iTunes menu bar?
When I plug in my iPod nano (2GB) 2nd Generation it doesn't show up on the left side of my screen in the iTunes Menu Bar. I don't have the original cord, saying that I got it awhile ago, how can I make it show up?
There is no content on my iPod currently, and I have tryed resetting all of the Settings and even taken all of the music off of it, but it is still not showing up. Do you have any suggestion son how to make it show up or even have the computer recognize that it is plugged in? -Thanks for your time!
P.S.- I have also tryed plugging it into a Windows computer and a Mac.See Multirow Bookmarks Toolbar: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/6937
You can't place bookmarks on a new toolbar. You can only place a bookmark on the toolbar that has the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" on it. -
Why won't the date and time stay in the menu bar?
I just installed 10.6.2 and even when I use System Preferences to check the box in the Date/Time panel they flicker and disappear from the menu bar. Why won't the Date and Time stay in the Menu Bar? Any suggestions? Thanks.
Frank BDoesn't any bring up the fact that Apple has so many customers with problems that the refuse to help unless you pay them cash? They update you and screw you over and then offer no useful troubleshooting scenarioius to help their millions of customers. It is because they want millions of our dollars. I hate Apple.

Howto do I remove the "Artwork Gofer" Icon in the iTunes menu bar?
Hi folks,
some years ago I installed "Artwork Gofer" for iTunes. Someday I seem to have deinstalled it but there still is a special icon in the iTunes menu bar of iTunes which I cannot remove. It sits right left to the "Help" menu. Clicking on the icon opens up a menu entry "Search Artwork". Clicking on it yields a dialogue message asking for the path to artwork gofer.
Please help getting rid of the remnants of the plugin...
Best Regards,
VolkerFound it, thanks to later posts in that thread I mentioned in the OP. Here is what they suggest (you have to use Photoshop):
1. In Photoshop, go to Help >Updates:
2. Click "Preferences" at the bottom right.
3. Uncheck the box labeled "Notify me of new updates on the menu bar." Then click "Ok."
Hope that helps anyone! -
My macbook pro does not have an itunes menu bar
i need to authorize my MacBook Pro but it doesn't have an iTunes menu bar, what can i do??????
Hi veriveri!
Here is an article that will help you authorize your computer for iTunes purchases:
iTunes Store: Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
To authorize a computer, follow these steps:
Open iTunes.
Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
You may need to show the menu bar to see this option in Windows. In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.
Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!

My screen is magnified on full and i can't find the menu bar and the doc.
My screen is mangified on full and i can't find the menu bar and the dock.
Hello, Melorw44.
Try pressing the <esc> (Escape) key.
If <esc> doesn't clear your full screen, restart your Mac. When you launch Safari after the restart, the normal sized window should open.
BTW, three finger double tap applies to trackpads. From your responses, I infer that you are not using a trackpad. However, if you are using a wireless mouse (or other wireless pointing device), low batteries in the device might be causing your inability to control your view.

Anyone got a great iTunes menu bar controller?
It used to be really easy to find a good menu bar controller for iTunes - but where have they all gone?
Can anyone recommend a discreet, well-designed controller that's right up to date, and works with Mavericks?Thanks very much for your feedback, and suggestion.
I hadn't come across this one before, but was really looking for something a little more polished - including translucent display of album artwork as a track starts to play, and menu access to the whole library. I had one that worked quite well on the whole with Snow Leopard (called MenuTunes), but it doesn't with Mavericks.
I may be looking for something that does not exist any more - but would love to be proved wrong! -

/* Settable values for skinning a Basic menu via presets. If presets are not sufficient, most skinning should be done in
these rules, with the exception of the images used for down or right pointing arrows, which are in the file SpryMenuBasic.css
These assume the following widget classes for menu layout (set in a preset)
.MenuBar - Applies to all menubars - default is horizontal bar, all submenus are vertical - 2nd level subs and beyond are pull-right.
.MenuBarVertical - vertical main bar; all submenus are pull-right.
You can also pass in extra classnames to set your desired top level menu bar layout. Normally, these are set by using a preset.
They only apply to horizontal menu bars:
MenuBarLeftShrink - The menu bar will be horizontally 'shrinkwrapped' to be just large enough to hold its items, and left aligned
MenuBarRightShrink - Just like MenuBarLeftShrink, but right aligned
MenuBarFixedLeft - Fixed at a specified width set in the rule '.MenuBarFixedLeft', and left aligned.
MenuBarFixedCentered - - Fixed at a specified width set in the rule '.MenuBarFixedCentered',
and centered in its parent container.
MenuBarFullwidth - Grows to fill its parent container width.
In general, all rules specified in this file are prefixed by #MenuBar so they only apply to instances of the widget inserted along
with the rules. This permits use of multiple MenuBarBasic widgets on the same page with different layouts. Because of IE6 limitations,
there are a few rules where this was not possible. Those rules are so noted in comments.

/* IE6 rules - you can delete these if you do not want to support IE6 */
/* A note about multiple classes in IE6.
* Some of the rules above use multiple class names on an element for selection, such as "hover" (MenuItemHover) and "has a subMenu" (MenuItemWithSubMenu),
* giving the selector '.MenuItemWithSubMenu.MenuItemHover'.
* Unfortunately IE6 does not support using mutiple classnames in a selector for an element. For a selector such as '.foo.bar.baz', IE6 ignores
* all but the final classname (here, '.baz'), and sets the specificity accordingly, counting just one of those classs as significant. To get around this
* problem, we use the plugin in SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js to generate compound classnames for IE6, such as 'MenuItemWithSubMenuHover'.
* Since there are a lot of these needed, the plugin does not generate the extra classes for modern browsers, and we use the CSS2 style mutltiple class
* syntax for that. Since IE6 both applies rules where
* it should not, and gets the specificity wrong too, we have to order rules carefully, so the rule misapplied in IE6 can be overridden.
* So, we put the multiple class rule first. IE6 will mistakenly apply this rule. We follow this with the single-class rule that it would
* mistakenly override, making sure the misinterpreted IE6 specificity is the same as the single-class selector, so the latter wins.
* We then create a copy of the multiple class rule, adding a '.SpryIsIE6' class as context, and making sure the specificity for
* the selector is high enough to beat the single-class rule in the "both classes match" case. We place the IE6 rule at the end of the
* css style block to make it easy to delete if you want to drop IE6 support.
* If you decide you do not need IE6 support, you can get rid of these, as well as the inclusion of the SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js script.
* The 'SpryIsIE6' class is placed on the HTML element by the script in SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js if the browser is Internet Explorer 6. This avoids the necessity of IE conditional comments for these rules.

HT2473 How can I get the date and time back on the menu bar?
Several items disappeared from my menu bar for no reason known to me. I miss the date and time and want it back. Please . I have gone to System Preferences and clicked "date and Time" but it will not allow me to check anything on the page even though there is a box "Show date and time in Menu bar".
What should be my next move?One more thing might help us
In the Finder > Date & Time Preferences > Take a Full ScreenShot of the entire display showing the "absence" of the check box (or whatever) to Show in Menu Bar
⌘ Command + ⇧ Shift > Press ' 3 ' > release all three
Use the camera tool > locate the screenshot in the Desktop (not sure whether it will say "Picture 1.png" or have a TimeDateStamp as a title.
ÇÇÇ -
I am using iTunes 11.0.4 (4) an up to Date Mac and the Menu Bar at the top has disappeared!
It will only show in Full Screen.
I have searched the forums and I cannot get a little square at the top left to help me adjust viewing!
Nothing is showing in View.
It is driving me NUTS!
Help
AngusSOLVED!!!
Played about with the Display Settings and when went back to one I was on it was sorted
WEIRD ...
Great!
I think that after removing the Preferences file your changes of Display settings now can be written and restored the defaults. -
Date & Time won't show in Menu Bar
I just installed the latest automatic update for Leopard and now in the right hand side of the menu bar only shows the Default Folder X icon and the Spotlight icon (my bluetooth, infared, airport icons and date & time are missing).
I go to the Date & Time preferences and click the option to have it appear, but when I close that window or just switch to another tab on that same window, it resets it back to being unchecked.
I know, of course, to unlock these settings and tried locking them or leaving them unlocked in hopes it would actually "lock in" my choice of settings, but with no such luck.
If anyone knows how to get my other icons back where they belong I'd appreciate that as well.I actually don't use "Default Folder" at all, it came with Leopard.
But this problem didn't come up until the latest updates.
There was a file permissions error in running activity Monitor, though.

+Follow this path in the Finder: /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/+

{quote}
Double-click didn't do anything, tried to drag it up there thinking (for some reason) that might work, but no luck there as well.
{quote}
+A Tiger reference but probably works for Leopard too: Menu bar reset+
+I had Default Folder on my OS9 computer but read some things about issues with the OSX version that made me decide not to continue with it, though I haven't read anything about recent versions.+

No luck here, as well. Although the file I was supposed to delete in ByHost wasn't there, so maybe that has something to do with it.

Mountain Lion Upgrade - Finder crashes, Menu Bar disappears ****
Hi,
I have a mid 2009 MBP running Lion perfectly well, and I mean perfect. No crashes, nada. Upgraded from Snow Leopard.
I have tried twice before to upgrade to ML but both times had to revert to Lion.
Key problem:
"Finder quit unexpectedly" then menu bar disappers and I can't use keyboard anymore (so no terminal killall etc) so have to hard reboot
And Yes, I also tried all the regular suggestions to these issues (seem to be common) such as delete preferences, delete DS_Store, permissions resets etc with no result
So I was perfectly happy developing for iOS on Lion
Then comes iOS7 and XCode 5 will only run on ML so now I'm forced to try upgrading Lion to ML again.
1. 1st time I did it without changing anything. Errors Key problem: "Finder quit unexpectedly" then menu bar disappers and I can't use keyboard anymore (so no terminal killall etc) so have to hard reboot
-> revert to Lion
2. Uninstalled all menu bar extensions, and deleted all login items. Result -> errors
Key problem: "Finder quit unexpectedly" then menu bar disappers and I can't use keyboard anymore (so no terminal killall etc) so have to hard reboot
So I've tried the testing Linc Davis posted here https://discussions.apple.com/message/17642350#17642350 with following results;
Tried Alternate Account:
I set up new account and for a while it worked. I was able to deploy to iPad to running iOS7. Yay. I thought it was ok.
Then I installed java in order to run SmartGit and also Carbon Copy Cloner and bang...same errors start appearing.
Uninstalled them, but no joy, started acting up.
Tried SAFE Mode:
It works! Perfectly. But I can't run in safe mode all the time, as I need some of the features it disables (audio, network as I develop cross platform with Win7)
So I tried Linc's 3rd test with is for kernel extensions etc, with results posted below.
I would really appreciate any guidance as to how I can get this working. It is extremely frustrating and time wasting, and I have no faith in OSX ML as a stable platform for development. I don't want to buy another machine, not just the expense, but also from trawling the threads people with current and new machines are also reporting similar problems to me with no resolution that I can see. Whatver ever happened to "Graceful Degradation" not "System crashes with no help whatsover"!!
Anyways, frustrated rant over, here's my results. I'm going to try again, but any help on optimising my Lion install before I do would be VERY welcome!

(Note: These results are from my newly reverted Lion clone, and I have not removed any menu bar apps or login items as yet.These have been run on my prefectly working Lion install)
Step 1
Copy or drag -- do not type -- the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
com.Cycling74.driver.Soundflower (1.6.6)
tc.tctechnologies.driver.TCNear (4.1.3
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.)
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(x|postfix|ntp|cups)/{print $3}'
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
