Google-chrome no tray icon

Hi Friends, Google chrome shows no icon in the system tray even if the option of continue running in the background is checked. In windows OS, it displays an icon in the systray. But in linux it does not. Please how can i bring back this functionality. Many thanks. (Recently, I found that in previous versions, it used to display the sys tray icon , but now it does not).Many thanks.

Same here. It used to display the icon, but I re-installed Arch, and it no longer has an icon.

Google chrome - missing taskbar icon (43.0.2357.65)

I just updated to 64 bit chrome, and I'm using the Numix Circle icon theme in xfce. The taskbar icon is now a generic icon, even after updating the icon cache.
Is anyone else seeing the same thing?

Same problem here (Mate DE), this problem is being seen since latest betas and dev-builds. Latest stable is based on latest beta, so problem comes to stable too
I filled a bug report weeks ago...
ps. It seems to work fine with KDE (tested in kubuntu), not sure about arch/kde

I just bought an ibook pro and want to download a browser like google chrome which I am familiar with. Safari just seems to be a lot of icons for shopping and I would like to disable it and put something more functional in its place. How do I ?

I thought I just posted this question but maybe not. I'm going from a PC to an iBook and am trying to customize it. Can I add a browser like google chrome or even foxfire and disable safari? Safari jst seems to be an app store. Thnaks

It sound like you did something wrong. Try another download and install.
Download of Chrome
https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95346?hl=en
Direction to install
Download the installer file
Open the file called "Google Chrome.dmg" after it's downloaded.
In the window that opens, drag the Chrome icon to the Application folder. This installs Chrome for all user accounts on your computer. Your home page settings and browser history will automatically be imported from your default browser.If you don't have administrative rights, drag the icon to a location on your computer where you do have rights, such as your Desktop. Chrome will only be installed for your user account.
The first time you open the browser, the Finder will ask you to confirm that you want to open the application downloaded from the Internet. Click Open to continue.
You'll see a message letting you know that you can search with Google directly from the address bar (also known as the omnibox). If you'd like to change yourdefault search engine, click Change.
Unmount the Google Chrome disk image on your Desktop by dragging it to the Eject icon in the Dock. (Make sure you're dragging the disk image and not the Google Chrome application icon.)

I installed google chrome and added it to my applications folder and it works but my desktop still has the icon of the chrome volume/disk and when i right click it gives an option to eject but it will not delete how can I get rid of it?

Drag it to the trash icon in your dock. This is a disk image, and you need to "eject" it, to get rid of it.

Not getting anything but crackly sound. My mouse icon is jittery also. occurs on mozilla on yahoo news and others. Not so with google chrome

when I go to fox news or yahoo news for example, I notice my mouse icon is jittery. I also don't get good sound. When I play Pandora through mozilla bookmark I don't get anything. When I use google chrome all is well.

Touchsmart 610 - Google Chrome not Showing tools icon- Cannot Update Google

Google Chrome screen as displayed on TS610 is not showing the wrench for updates and settings. Can this be corrected ??

Hi hiral2cool,
That is very strange. I think this has to do with the ico file being enabled or disabled in about:config ? Try to disable javascript and restart the browser. You can still access it from about:config or by installing an add-on.
'''about:config'''
# In the address bar, type "about:config" (with no quotes), and press Enter.
# Click "I'll be careful, I promise"
# In the search bar, search for "javascript.enabled" (with no quotes).
# Right click the result named "javascript.enabled" and click "Toggle". JavaScript is now disabled.
To Re-enable JavaScript, repeat these steps.
'''Add-ons'''
You can alternatively install an add-on that lets you disable JavaScript, such as
*[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/noscript/ No-Script] (to disable JavaScript on a per page basis, as required)
*[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/quickjava/ QuickJava] (to easily disable and enable JavaScript, automatic loading of images, and other content)
*[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/settingsanity/ SettingSanity] (adds back removed options for JavaScript, Advanced JavaScript Settings, loading images, and showing the Tab Bar)
Thank you and I hope this helps!

IMac running 10.7.3 stuck on rainbow wheel right after desktop launches and google chrome trying to restore a previous browsing session

Hello All - thanks in advance for your help with this.
The problem I'm encountering is on an iMac 24" from 2008, Intel Core 2Duo 1.3 GHz processor. I'm running 10.7.3 but have yet to install the client combo update.
My computer would not wake from sleep this morning after having been left on all night. The last two apps I had been running last night before this morning's freeze up were Google Chrome and iTunes. I restarted the computer and noticed at the login screen that one of the login accounts that is normally set up for use had disappeared. Once I logged in to my account, which had not disappeared, and arrived at the desktop, Chrome automatically tried to relaunch and restore the previous session with a note indicating that the browser had not been quit properly.
iTunes was running as well but had no functionality - non responsive to mouse click commands, etc. About thirty seconds later the rainbow wheel appeared and began spinning.
Tried force quitting both applications applications respectively but the finder was non-responsive as well. The dock would pop up when moused over but I was not permitted to select any of the icons. Restarted the computer and essentially the same thing occurred but I was able to quit out of iTunes this time before the rainbow wheel started.
Tried restarting with all peripheral hardware disconnected. No change. Tried booting up in safe mode - didn't work. Rebooted in disk utility mode - ran disk verification and was told all was well. Ran permissions verifications and was told there were problems. Repaired the permissions issues successfully. Rebooted again but same issue with desktop/apps freezing up. Rebooted into Disk Utility mode and tried a reinstall of lion - reinstall successul but upon normal reboot desktop still frozen once I launched Chrome and attempted to get to apple site to download the 10.7.3 patch.
Tried rebooting in disk utility mode to restore from a time machine back up - the external hard drive where my back ups are stored did not appear as a restore source even though I had reconnected the USB cable.
I then rebooted again into disk utility mode and tried to use safari to navigate to the apple site and download the 10.7.3 client combo update. No dice - received error messages saying the download could not be completed because there was insufficient memory available.
Called Apple - rep said I should take the computer in to the store - refused as of the time of the call because I had already wasted half the day on this and didn't want to flush the remainder down the toilet hanging around at the Apple store. So much for that - the day is now totally wasted any way.
Another couple of bits of information which may or may not be helpful:
When I'm in disk utility mode the disk image icon at the top of the list of disk images/mounts on the left hand side of the utility window is in red text: 320.07 GB WDC WD320...and the main dialogue box says: "This drive has a hardware problem that can't be repaired. Back up Data and see Apple dealer for help." One might conclude that my computer is therefore dead...not exactly. This happened once before after trying to set up a bootcamp partition using XP instead of windows 7. XP is not supported by Lion but I was trying a work around. Soon thereafter I upgraded my OS to 10.7.2 (or.3 can't remember) using software updater instead of a full native download from the Apple Support site and the computer went bananas. After the upgrade I was getting the CUI ???? errors which have since become infamous. While working with Apple phone support on the CUI issue and using disk utility on that issue, that same red text disc image came up and the note about my hardware having failed as described above. Apple told me I was cooked and my machine was finished. They were wrong. I can't remember what I did but I worked on the problem a bit more and was eventually able to upgrade my OS from the native download and get my machine back in order and runnign fine.
I recently attempted the bootcamp partition (stupidly) work around for XP again without success - last week before all of the latest drama set in. YES I have learned my lession and will not attempt this again.
So that's what's going on - sorry for the Moby Dick lenght description but I figured the more details available the more likely some one is to know how to fix the problem.
Any thoughts, suggestions, HELP please!!!
Thanks.

My macbook's performance is quite slow and it freezes I haven't shut it down in over a month. I shut it down yesterday for over 12 hours yet upon starting up again the slowness persists. Removed Google chrome application the speed arose slightly any tips?

I haven't shut it down in over a month. I shut it down yesterday for over 12 hours yet upon starting up again the slowness persists. Removed Google chrome application the speed arose slightly any tips? I contacted a support member but unfortunately my warranty has run out, he suggested that may be a result of putting the mac into sleep constantly, and not shutting down and that there may be files i can clear to remedy the issue. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated,
Regards.

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

Windows XP; Adobe Reader XI; Google Chrome

I have an old PC running on Windows XP with Adobe Reader XI installed and my browser is Google Chrome. No problems up until recently when (I don't know how) my PC was 'invaded' by a 'browser hijacker' called VOSTERAN which, according to all the websites I visited, is a VERY bad thing. After a lot of trouble, I eventually got rid of Vosteran but this involved uninstalling and then re-installing Chrome. So I got Chrome back but then found I had a problem with PDF documents (which I hadn't had before).
I was trying to print off a page from a particular website (which I'd successfully done previously) but found that, when I clicked on the Print icon, it was immediately replaced by a Save icon - in the form of a PDF document. So I saved the page (because I could no longer just print it) to my PC but then found that I could neither open nor print it. I just got an error message from 'Adobe Reader' which said "Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience".
I tried all sorts of other options such as "Open With" etc. but still nothing.
Then I found that I could no longer open (or print) any PDF document which I'd previously saved on my PC! So I uninstalled and then re-installed Adobe Reader (several times) but still without success. I also searched online for possible answers (for a long time) but nothing I've tried has worked.
So .... is this a problem with my PC? Or with Adobe Reader? Or is there something in Google Chrome 'interfering' with my being able to open and print PDF documents - which it didn't do before (I've tried all the troubleshooting tips on Chrome).
Please help as this is driving me nuts!

Try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
P.S. note that Chrome uses its own PDF viewer, not the Adobe Reader plugin.

Flash Player is out of date in Google Chrome

I have a Macbook with Mac OS X 10.5.8 version (Intel Core 2 Duo).
I run the internet on Google Chrome, but some time ago it started showing this message on every window.
"Adobe Flash Player was blocked because it is out of date."
It shows grey windows with no flash content. And when I hit the button "Run this time", it starts playing the flash content. But it is an annoyance when I have to hit this button on every new window.
I wonder how to solve this problem. Google advises me to solve this problem by displaying this message>
Note: Although not recommended, if you don't want Google Chrome to notify you when a plug-in is out of date, use the command line flag --allow-outdated-plugins. Instructions on how to add a command line flag can be found on our Chromium site .
But I tried to follow the command and it was too difficult for me to understand.
I updated the Flash Player many times and I am sure it is up to date, but somehow this message still shows up. I also tried to uninstall my Google Chrome but don't know how.
I like Google Chrome better than Safari because it responds faster than Safari and has less freezing problems.

Hi,
I downloaded the Google Chrome from the link that you provided.But somehow it doesn't work on my Mac. According to my computer specifications it is supposed to be compatible. It installs with the strange icon in front. And when I try to open the application it displays a message "You cannot use this Google Chrome on this Version of Mac OS". Please see the images that were displayed on my computer. I am confused.

On photobucket, I can only view low resolution pictures but with google chrome, I see full size pictures.

When I view pictures on photobucket, whether they're mine or someone else's, I can only see low resolution pictures. I load pictures on photobucket with a resolution of about 900x750 but fire fox only shows them at about 125x125. Google chrome shows full resolution pictures.
This started with the last firefox update, about 1-2 months ago.

Check the image exceptions: Tools > Options > Content: Load Images: Exceptions - See [[Options window - Content panel]]
A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon (Site Identification icon) on the left side of the location bar. 
A click on the "More Information" button will open the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info"). 
Open the Media tab of the "Page Info" window. 
Select the first image and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow key. 
If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

I have the same problem for a couple of months, and I had to use a plug-in in Firefox to print a web page. I really need the web page address in the footer for reference purposes which Chrome print (Ctrl+P) does not produce.
The error message is: A supported version of Acrobat could not be found. Please install or update Acrobat to 11.0.9 or higher."
After updating to Acrobat 11.0.10 and repairing the installation the problem did not go away.
Deleting and re-installing the extension did not help either.

Adobe reader destroy all. Fx windows, mail, explorer and google chrome. These Ikons changes to a Ikon from adobe reader with PDF written on it

I have had pleasure of Adobe many years, but all of a sudden want to Adobe Reader does not work with Windows Live Mail, explorer, and Google Chrome.
Adobe Reader change all the aforementioned icons to an Adobe Reader icon,on which it is written PDF. I cannot open a browser, read mail or use windows.
I have removed and installed Adobe Reader many times. But nothing helps.
I have been using Norton. norton has remotely Removed and installed Adobe Reader consult the general remotely. But it changed nothing. Norton has never seen this problem before, so they asked me to contact Adobe.
What do I do now ?

Hey Grethe,
Please use the ' Fix It ' tool for your specific Windows version using this link : When you run an .exe file on a Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7-based computer, the file may start a different pro…
Once done restart your computer. Let me know if the issue persist.

Two days ago two of the forum I use stopped working as they did. Google Chrome can open these sites without problem. I have checked that Javascript is working. What can I do to get the sites back to the way they were?

Two days ago two forums I regularly use stopped working properly. One of them is www.mobileread.com, and the main problem is with marking the forums read. The staff there suggested that I check that Javascript is enabled. It is, but the problem remains.
The other site just looks as though there is no styling on the index page; it just shows a list of links.
I can use both sites with Google Chrome just as I did before, so it has to be a problem with Firefox.
There are many other sites I visit, and I have not had the same problem there.

For the one with a styling problem, see what you have for View > Page Style
the normal style is default and "No Style" would wipe out styling but in this area it would apply to all pages.
I don't know of an extension that would selectively turn page styling or off, but look at your extensions.
Both problems could be caused by filters added to "Adblock Plus" extension.
Bring up "Open blockable items [Ctrl+Shift+V]" in ADP by right-clicking on the toolbar/addons bar icon or in the add-on's options. See what is being blocked and the filter that is blocking it. You can easily test filters there and turn them on/off and retest. You can see the filter that is blocking an item, you can use the mouse to see where that filter came from. Choices of what columns to display can be made with the little icon to the right of the column headings in the list.
Attached is a picture of blockable items I see for the www.mobileread.com page. To view a page that you need to view or use, you can try modifying your filters or toggling the "State" column (preferred). You can disable Adblock Plus from the extensions options but that defeats the protection it offers.
If seems that the problem would be an extension, or a style, or theme.

Itunes can't read korean characters since switching to google chrome

I switched to google chrome and for some reason every song with Korean hangul characters on my itunes turns into square boxes. I have songs with Japanese kanji on my itunes but I see them perfectly, it's only Korean characters.
This happened before but I switched back to firefox (which solved the problem). I really don't wanna go back to firefox though...is there any way to fix this?

Eduardo Kim hello,
If you select the iTunes Icon in your applications folder and get info you will see the Languages tab check and see what is available... to get the correct Korean version as there is more than one start system preferences and choose international > languages... use the help files to find what you need to know by clicking on the Question mark...
Take care Eduardo ... TP
