Drop down menus, dock etc. buggy behavior

I met this strange behavior on 10.7. but thought that 10.8. gonna work fine. Nope. Very often when I click the upper bar the drop down menu appears but if I scroll down no item is blue highlited. When I can switch from, for example, file to edit this will not happen. I have to click it again. I have a show/hide dock but it doesn't show/hide when I get the pointer to its location on the bottom. I have to click it. The same with resizing windows. When I hit the lower right corner of any window the resize pointer doesn't appear. I have to click it first to make it appear. It is the same in whole OSX, in any app. Sometimes this appears right after reboot, sometimes later after couple of minutes. My first thougt was that there's some issue caused by some apps. But now I have freshly installed Mt Lion on erased disc, no apps installed and works still like I wrote above. Erasing NVRAM and PRAM never helped. Using MACPRO early 2009. Any help?
A few videos attached below, just for illustration.

So, it looks like Apple screw up the Czech localization. I reinstalled whole system, after erasing the disc. I set up English as a default and it works without any problem. May be this could be solved only by switching languages earlier, who knows... So what's the point of whole story? A, learn English and run every Apple OS in native English. B, dear Apple Inc., if you offer so complex OS in different languages care of it's functionality in those languages and let your testers to test it deeply!
Thomas and calebfrom, thx for tips.
Apple, "thx" for many hours of my own time wasted when I tried to find the solution of this bug!

  • Drop down menus, Dock, highlighting menu items, - all malfunctioning

    Around two days ago, i began experiencing problems with the dock. i usually have my dock hidden, and i usually have the magnifying effect turned up as well. anyway, my dock began refusing to come out of hiding, or it would come out after a few (3-4) seconds but would not move. after a few restarts and a few plist clears (yes, tried the "delete dock preferences file" idea, no joy), the problem was still occuring. I then noticed that i could force the dock to refresh by clicking off it, on the desktop or another app window. the problem has since spread to all menus such as the apple menu, drop down menus etc, and they will not refresh until you click away either. I'm beginning to get really annoyed, so i signed up here and posted this.
    I'm running 10.4.8 on a G3 ibook with a recently installed airport card (if that counts for anything) I also installed a bunch of updates including the following;
    -X11 2006
    -J2SE 5.0 Release 4
    -ARD admin Update
    -security updates (2006-07 and 2006-08) - PowerPC
    -Security Update 2007 - 001
    These were installed a day or so before the problems started, or at least, before i noticed them.
    Thanks a heap

    This is also happening under New and Different users.You may be able to repair this with 10.4.8 PPC Combo Update
    This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before. It has worked well for many.
    Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
    If Intel use this 10.4.8 Combo Updater.

  • TS4123 Whenever I open the iTunes store, the home pages of all of the sections (Music, App Store, Films etc) are black. They still have clickable hyperlinks, but I can't see what I'm clicking. Any pages accessed through the drop-down menus or by randomly

    Whenever I open the iTunes store, the home pages of all of the sections (Music, App Store etc.) are BLACK.  They still have clickable hyperlinks, but I can't see what I'm clicking.  Any pagess accessed through the drop-down menus (even iHelp) or by randomly clicking I can't see.

    Thanks but it's just my desktop that doesn't see it though.  My notebook sees it everytime, even at the same exact time that my desktop doesn't see it.  For example yesterday when I was typing up this post, I was typing up the post on my notebook because my desktop didn't see the router.  I don't think it has anything to do with the router actually, but I wanted to see if anyone on here has encountered this issue before.  Other forums have similar issues but I've tried all of the fixes I found elsewhere and they didn't work.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks!

  • Drop-down menus wig out, have to type backwards in address bar, etc.

    When opening firefox, I noticed that my bookmarks were missing. I went to the drop-down menu to select view and the screen started scrolling all of the drop-down menus. I then moved onto the address bar and the cursor started moving to the beginning of the bar. When I typed in my address info, it would put the next letter in front of the last letter making my text enter in backwards from what I was typing.
    My first thought is I have a virus, but my pc is protected. Firefox is the only program being affected. I can use IE explorere, but that is taking a step backwards in my opinion. I need this fixed asap. Help!!!

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite
    You can create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
    See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting&#58; Make a new profile]]
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)<br />

  • Business Contact Manager 2013 Issue with drop down menus not working correctly and BCM disappearing.

    We upgraded from BCM 2007 to BCM 2013.  Now the BCM disappears from Outlook occasionally and the drop down menus are confused. for instance when accessing the drop down for phone numbers, the user selects company - but the field for TTY/TDD comes up.
    Shows fields that don't exist etc.
    The client is using Office 2013 Pro Premium from Office 365 Small Business Premium subscription and BCM downloaded from Microsoft website.
    Please let me know what the support avenues are for this product.

    Hi,
    This issue may be caused since the BCM was not installed properly.
    Please go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features, find Business Contact Manager for Microsoft Outlook and Uninstall it.
    Then go to
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36513, download the right version of BCM(32bit or 64bit) and install it.
    If issue persists, you may provide the screenshots of the issue, post them to SkyDrive and share it via a link:https://skydrive.live.com/, then we will have a better understanding on the issue.

  • DW-MX-04 Drop-down menus won't work.

    I'm using Dreamweaver MX 2004 (have been for several years, so I know my way around it).  I want to create drop-down or fly-outs menu's to consolidate page links into categores in order to reduce the number of link tabs I have on each page.  I've been able to create the menu's I needed (using: Tag Chooser\ Behaviors\ Show Pop-U Menu), but when I preview the pages in IE, the text only shows on the mouseover text (not on top) despite having the text color set as black in the Menu window.  But it gets worse.  When I uploaded the page to try it, the drop down menus don't show up at all when I hover over the main buttons and  I get javascript errors.
    Can anyone give me so assistance on how to resolve this?
    I've checked the text color issue using the code view editing pane, and it matches the way I have it setup in the Pop-Up Menu.  But that's the least of my worries if I can't get them to work at all when the pages are live.
    Thanks...JEB

    MX2004 software is also somewhat antiquated and no longer supported by Adobe.   So it shouldn't surprise you that the tools from nearly a decade ago are obsolete today.  The web itself has changed significantly since 2004! 
    Web standards have moved from HTML3 to HTML5.  Layouts have departed from old school nested tables to more efficient CSS.  Unlike a decade ago, today's web devices include everything from hand held smartphones & tablets to laptops, desktops and TV displays.  So it's not possible to stand still and keep pace with the evolving web.  If you're not moving forward, you're falling behind.
    CSS is not an extension.  HTML = content.  CSS = Cascading Style Sheets.  CSS is used to style your content.    With CSS you can make an ordinary list look like a very cool menu with buttons, borders, shadows, drop-down and rollover effects.  If you master CSS, you can do some very creative things with it.  However, coding skills are essential.
    Below is an example of an unordered list styled with CSS to make a nice horizontal drop-menu.
    http://alt-web.com/DEMOS/CSS-Multi-colored-drop-menu.shtml
    To further illustrate the efficiency and power of CSS, look at CSS Zen Garden. 
    http://www.csszengarden.com/
    Every page on the right panel contains exactly the same HTML code as the first.  The only difference is the CSS code.
    The shift to CSS is intended to help web designers keep styles separate from content. Learning to work with CSS will make a you better web designer and save countless hours of tedious re-coding when you decide to change the look of your site.  It's much easier to edit one file instead of many. 
    Below are some links to help you learn more about how to work with CSS.

  • Making drop down menus in server side includes

    Can drop down menus be part of a server side include? If not,
    how do I have drop down menus in my pages without copying the code
    to all the pages individually?
    I am working in Dreamweaver 8 on a Mac. I've made the drop
    down menus using the behaviors window. Everything is fine in the
    original html file. When I use the file as an include in my main

    used in the drop down file attached to the main page. What do I
    need to do with the main page to have the drop down menu work? I
    need to use this drop down on the majority of my pages. Thanks!

  • Reader drop-down menus have invisible content

    I'm running 9.4.7 on Ubuntu 11.10. The Reader drop-down menus either have no text in them or the text is the same colour as the background. I've tried changing the Ubuntu theme but the problem remains.

    Found an option to make the workaround permanent.
    Run Terminal.
    Paste this "cd /etc/X11/Xsession.d" (no quotes).
    A edit file would open separately.
    Paste this "export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY="acroread":$UBUNTU_MENUPROXY" in the Editor window.
    Save the File.
    Exit Terminal.
    Do a fresh Login.
    The menu option would appear below the Taskbar but would be working.
    Tested in Ubuntu 11.10 with Reader 9.4.7

  • Double Drop-down Menus

    Suddenly, on my 17" MBP, the drop down menus have doubled the choices. What I mean is that when I click on the Apple on the upper left for example, instead of the menu showing "About this Mac", "Force Quit" etc., or when clicking on Safari instead of "Preferences", "Private Browsing", "Quit", etc. I see each of these choices twice! If I click on one, the chack mark appears on both.
    And on the screen, whenever anything pops up that gives me an opportunity to click it, a black box appears around the button I am supposed to click. The box stays there until I click somewhere else on the screen.
    I do not notice any performance issues, but wondering what the heck this could be about. I've rebooted, turn off & back on, etc., and that didn't change things.
    Thanks

    OK, the problem is most likely isolated to your main User Library then. It's probably a corrupt preference file. Read this for troubleshooting it.

  • Acrobat X 10.1.1 - Colors picker drop down menus not working

    Colours picker drop down menus are not working stuck on default in all selections - Is there any work around / any other way to bring in or select an exact RGB / HEX etc colour besides using this picker if it doesn't work?
    - Chris

    You can programmatically set the various field colors (text, background, border) using JavaScript. For more information:
    Color arrays: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.260.html
    textColor property: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.726.html
    So you could set up a temporary button and use the following script in the Mouse Up event:
    // Set the text color to the RGB color (237,121,5),
    // which is a nice pumpkin color
    getField("text1").textColor = ["RGB", 237/255, 121/255, 5/255];

  • Drop Down Menus Aren't Dropping Down!

    Hey and thanks in advance for any assistance!
    I had to update my drop down menus in DW CS4. I made the necessary changes, tested it on my computer and proceeded to update every template, then every page on the site.
    No problems as the menus worked fine on my computer, even after refreshing the pages.
    The problem lies that on every other computer in our office, the menus don't drop down, but extend horizontally across the page and off the screen now.
    My computer - drop downs.
    Other computers - horizontal mess.
    Here is our site!
    Suggestions?
    This was my first revision of the menus since I upgraded to CS4 (which I find more difficult). The code view on my index page had about 9 lines of space between each menu line, so I took that out. Could that have caused a problem?
    On a different note, in my viewing pane - my "page window" extends behind my folder view and I can't scroll up or down without minimizing the folders. Also the properties view used to fit nicely below the page window and beside the folders window, but now it extends behind the folders panel and I can't seem to fix this.
    And don't get me started on why DW would eliminate the ability to change colors without having to make styles! I still haven't figured out how to do that yet.
    Any assistance would be appreciated!
    Thanks.

    Okay, I've tried that and it didn't work. But even better, DW CS4 kept locking up (giving me the 'white screen of death') and closing down. When I tried to open DW again, it went through the motions and "disappeared" - would not finish the process.
    So I rebooted and tried again. Same thing. I reinstalled DW CS4 and it appeared to install fine. I opened it up, the screen came up, it loaded the cache, scanned my 2600+ folders and pages . . . and disappeared.
    Bottom line I can't access Dreamweaver. It's always locked up on me (a couple of times a day), but it's never been this buggy. I don't know if it's a compatibility issue with Win 7 or what. I'm seriously thinking of going back to MX as I dislike CS4 so much right now.
    As I said before, I never-never-never had these problems before I upgraded to CS4. Right now my feelings for DW are not in a good place!
    Thanks for trying anyway. If you have any suggestions, I'm more than open to them!

  • Drop Down Menus on different browsers

    Hi. I am a teacher and I'm making a website for my school. I just learned how to create drop down menus using html code. I checked the website on Firefox, Safari, and even Opera. Everything looks great, except for Internet Explorer. The menu at the top looks totally funky! It's in the wrong direction, the pictures are missing, etc. In addition, other things look messed up as well. Please check it out...
    http://nestleweb.com
    Why is this happening? I know that many people use IE, so it has to look right on this browser. Any suggestions?

    I did the same thing. I provided links on the homepage so users would not use IE. But the problem is... once a user goes to IE and sees the menus and the page all messed up, he/she might just give up and not even scroll to the bottom to see the browser recommendations. I just received an email telling me that the website was messed up for a visitor.
    Just venting...I am a teacher that's making the school website. Now, in my own classroom, I can tell and train my students and parents to use FF, but it's out of my control for the rest of the school and any other visitors. I'm just frustrated with the situation because everything takes so much time to make and then it looks horrible on IE! Thanks for your post. It helps to know I'm not the only one!

  • Drop Down Menus in iTunesConnect are non functional

    When I login to iTunesConnect (tried multiple browsers, clearing cache, etc) it says I have to approve the contract. When I go to contracts it says I have to chose a legal entity from the drop down menu. The menu is empty. When I try to add myself to the menu, it says I've already been added and I should choose myself from the drop down menu.
    When I go to contact us, there is a drop down menu asking what the nature of my inquiry is. The menu is blank.
    There is no place on iTunesConnect to submit a book for publishing. (Maybe this option appears after the contract has been approved?)
    Nowhere in iTunesConnect are the drop down menus populated. They are all empty. And, therefore, completely useless.
    What should I do?
    (My iTunesConnect, by the way, if that's necessary information.)
    <Email Edited by Host>

    Apart from your other problems.... if you are using iBooksAuthor - you do not  "publish" using iTunesConnect.
    You use iTunesProducer which can be downloaded from your iTunesConnect  > Delivery your Content page.. but not until after December28th.
    On  the  missing functions in Drop Down menus, unless you have a fault of corrupted files...  greyed out items in Drop Down menu usually indicate its because their part of a procedure is not  open for you to use because an early part of the process is  not yet submitted.
    Apple are shut down  until after the 28th of December, so  that's is also another reason the menu items are not available. You will need to wait a few days and check again.
    BTW.. although they have been edited out... its not advisable to put on display any account information that  could  help the unscrupulous to gain advantage.
