HELP! - Missing Finder Menu and HD Icon

I just upgraded my old iBook G3 Dual USB to 10.3.9 and updated all the software (except for iSight - since I don't own one). The problem lies in that after start-up, I don't see the icon for the Hard Drive and I don't see the Finder menu bar - where the Apple Icon, Finder, File, Edit, View, Go, Window, Help are supposed to be. I can't even get to the Applications or Home by keying their shortcuts i.e. Command-Shift-A or Command-Shift-H.
The screen is not flickering (the logic board has been replaced already), all the other applications run normal and while they are running I can see the menu bar for each application, for now it just seems the finder doesn't want to play nice.
I have reset PRAM, PMU to no avail. The RAM is at 768MB. I feel it has something to do with Panther since it never did that with Jaguar. If somebody has any clue as to what I could try, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
iBook G3 Dual USB Mac OS X (10.3.9)

My bad - memory is at 384MB. Force quitting does not work. I get the small window but -Finder- does not show, and when it comes up it flickers on and off and I can't select it to force quit it . My drive has 22.65 GB available, so I don't think that's where the problem lies. Looking at the System Profiler, under Logs, are the following lines:
Mac OS X Version 10.3.9 (Build 7W98)

Does or should this help figure out what's going on? As I type this, I can see the menu bar for Safari, the modem status, the clock, basically everything that you are used to. It all seems to be working OK except for the Finder menu! Well, thanks for the reply and the suggestions and if the above lines mean anything to you or anybody out there, please let me know.

Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, provide /System/Library/CoreServices/Applications/ as the path, and open it.

How to find the help menu in outlook on safari

how to find the help menu in outlook on safari

Outlook is a Microsoft product. Best to ask there to get a faster answer:

There do not seem to be a lot of Mac Outlook users among the helpers here.

Where is my help menu/help center? All I get is file finder.

My manual says I can get to the help center by selecting the finder icon (in my dock) but i cannot get to any kind of help info.
I can search for files only. Where do I find the help utility in my computer?

Click the Help item in a Finder menubar, and select Help Center:

HELP! Missing "Finder" menu!

My left finder menu bar is still active, however the upper right side menu has disappeard: bluetooth, airport, volume, date/time AND spotlight are all gone.
I've trashed the finder prefs, ran disk utility, restarted, and nothing!

IMAC G5 2GHz 20" Mac OS X (10.4.6)

crewman76,
Find the com.apple.systemuiserver.plist file in your ~Library/Preferences Folder, and the com.apple.systemuiserver.000a9597ad54.plist file (your file will have a different alpha/numeric sequence) in your ~Library/Preferences/ByHost Folder, drag them to the Desktop, and log out/in or restart.
If that is unsuccessful, download and reinstall the Mac OS X 10.4.6 Combo for PPC.
Next follow the procedures listed in Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption, by Dr. Smoke.

I have a MacBook purchased in 2009 with Snow Leopard. I tried to access "special characters" from the Finder menu and an intermittent blank pop ups and will not stop. It also happens when I run Word or Pages.

The blank pop up began as I tried to access "special characters" from the finder menu. I restarted, turned off and restarted and it did not work. It interferes with any application because I cannot work fast. Every new step takes a few seconds longer such as saving, finding text, check spelling and many more. I am desperate to solve this. Thanks in advance for any help given.

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

Wheres my Finder Menu bar gone??

This is a really odd one...
When my partner switches user to her account the a pop appears stating "Finder failed to open; restart"
Then when she tries to open something in Applications the computer freezes, the finder menu bar on the top of the screen vanishes and nothing can be opened from the dock. Tried the variety of CTR + all sorts and nothing happens!
Sometimes open applications (such as Word or Safari) have some limited function, sometimes not.
As the finders gone I can't switch users. On the few occations when I have been able to my user accounts finder menu bar has either been transparent or not there!
All I've been able to do is hold the on/off button down until the computer switches off!
Anyone having this issue? Able to help??
Cheers
Gethin

Hi
What exactly did you try? CTR is not something I'm familiar with unless it's your shorthand for something else?
Have you tried booting in safe mode yet? Hold down the shift key. Be patient as it can take some time. At the log in try and log in with her account. If you can navigate to the /Users/Home/Library/Preferences folder. Find the com.apple.finder.plist. Take this to the trash. Next launch DU and repair permissions. When done quit and Restart the mac. Post back if you're still having problems. If you have a chance at this point back up all important and relevant information.

How to use 'Find' menu in Screens

Hi all,
I wanted to know how to use 'Find' menu in screens.
Actually I have created a screen through SE51 and used the pushbutton to assign the function 'Find' ( one with binoculars ). The screen uses a table control to bring all the data from the DB table in the PBO module. When the user uses FIND button the system should prompt a search pop up screen onto which he will enter the search parameter and when he enter that the corresponding line item should be displayed on the tablecontrol. I wanted to know what logic should be incorporated in the program if that pushbutton is used. Please reply immediately. Its urgent.
Regards,
Bhavani.

Hello,
In the PAI under a module (user_command for example) when the user click the button you should use the command READ TABLE (if you look at the help, there's some options to do the READ dynamically - [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/d3/2e974d35c511d1829f0000e829fbfe/frameset.htm]) to get the line index and with it you set the TOP_LINE of the table control ( tc_table-top_line = sy-index for example).
Doing this the selected line will be the first in the table control on the next step (PAI/PBO).

FRM : 41067 Cannot find menu item id ( forms 10g Menus/Forms Conversion )

Hi All ,
We have menus converted into forms 10g using the forms migration assistant FMA ( frmplsqlconv ) . Now , we had the menus (.mmb) which had used Shared Menus.
After conversion observed that there were some duplicate copies of the shared menus created automatically and each reference where this shared menu was used was replaced by the newly created ones.
Now , when I open the form that uses the menu I get the following error :
FRM : 41067 Cannot find menu item id
On debuggin observed the the above error was generated at :
set_menu_item_property(SHARED_MENU.ITEM,.... )
Not sure how this worked in forms earlier version and not working in 10g now.
Could anyone please let me know how to go about to fix this issue and why is this happening at the first point.
Is re-creating the menu from scratch the only option to resolve the issue ?
Please advise ..
Thanks ,

Hi

Cannot find menu item:Invalid Id

Hi there,
I am trying to access the menu attached to my form by setting the enabled properties of menu items based on privileges.
I use the following set_menu_item_property:
SET_MENU_ITEM_PROPERTY('menu.item_name', ENABLED, PROPERTY_FALSE);
But I get an error message saying:
"Cannot find menu item:Invalid Id"
Can somebody help me please with this.
Thanks.

the error says you have not put the menu item name properly...what is the structure of the menu...? one thing you can do is in object navigator locate the menu item name and identify its parent. and use it in the command like for eg.
set_menu_item_property('adminmenu.users',enabled,property_false);KK

Where can I find mac help on my imac ?

Where can I find mac help on my imac ?

Should be the last menu option in OS X Main Menu Bar. Click on help and either use the available search box or select Mac Help for a list of topics.
Alternatively,

The 'Get Information' button in my printer driver dialog is grayed out. This happened when I upgraded my mac (and macbook). Can't find any help anywhere.

I recently upgraded both my imac and macbook pro to a new mac mini and macbook air. I have a networked (via airport extreme) canon ipf6100 printer that had been working great from my older computers (all running current mountain lion). The new computer's printer driver setups went well and the dialog says its online and ready. The problem is the 'Get Information' button in the 'Main' driver panel is grayed out. The driver cannot read the printer's configuration (i.e. roll or sheet paper) and therefore cannot print correctly. I have tried re-installing the driver (current one from Canon's website) and have tried connecting the printer to USB directly with the same result. I have not been able to find any help on this anywhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
