Help! Have an icon stuck UNDER the menubar

about 99% of it under, leaving nothing to grab hold of to drag it back down to desktop.
Isn't there some way to move or remove (& restore) the menubar so I can get this thing out of the way?

Great to hear it's fixed, but if it happens again, highlight one Desktop icon the CMD+a to Select All, then from Finder's View munu, choose Arrange by Name or such.

I have some forms stuck under the menu bar on Mac Mountain Lion

I have a stock market program and two of their forms have become stuck under the menu bar. Closing the program doesnn't help because when it's restarted it returns to the exact same spot and I can't reach the close buttons. I've tried changing the screen res put that doesn't help. Any ideas?

Bob ~ Try this: Close the stock market app. Then  menu > System Preferences... > General pane > Check "Close windows when quitting an application":
...Then open, close and re-open the stock market app. If that doesn't help, use the camera icon to post a screenshot so we can see what you're referring to:

I can't move my application to navigate the tool bar. It is stuck under the Apple bar. I have a screen shot of it if I can figure out how to upload it. I can navigate and move all other applications, I have restarted computer, updated Adobe. any advice.

In that application what options are available to you under the Window menu item? Maybe something there that'll help?

Help: title bar permanently stuck under parent title bar

I am using the program Jalview, which is a Java-based protein/DNA sequence alignment editor. This program works by opening a parent window, within which all subsequent windows are opened. My problem is that the title bar of one of these sub-windows (ie: the only part which you can click on to drag the window around) has become trapped under the title bar of the parent window. Saving my work, closing the program then re-loading has not helped as the program saves the windows open inside the parent window as a "session" and remembers the location of each window - so my window of interest always ends up back in the same place stuck under the title bar!
Title bars getting stuck under things is an infuriating bug that I often encounter when using Macs, but never to this extent.
Thanks for your time.

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
I would ask if the app has a Window Menu and whether this lists the window ?
If so can it be brought to the "Front" so that you can grab it ?
If not I would go to your Home Folder/Library/Preferences and find the .plist for the app.
I would highlight it and use Quick Look to read through the info - mainly to check it is not containing stuff you want to keep/not lose.
The info may contain the window location info.
If the .plist does not contain other stuff that is important and cannot be reset I would delete it.
The next time the app is started up it will read defaults and windows will be back to their default positions.
Edit:-
Most apps written for Macs have the tool bar button top right of the Header (White/non coloured oblong tablet shaped button) If you use this the Tool Bar the apps has can be turned Off - which might just make the title Bar area small enough to grab the partially hidden window.

A clean install on my MacBook Pro has left my icons stuck on the right side of the desktop. I want to move them but there is no 'None' option which I think would free them to move where I wish. Suggestions?

A clean install on my MacBook Pro has left me with my icons stuck in the grid on the right side of my desktop. I had the ability to move them and have them stay put in various sectors of the desktop, which I found very useful. The clean install upgraded the OS to 10.6.8 from 10.5.8. I want to move them again but there I see no 'None' option which I think would free them to move where I wish. Has the upgrade deleted that option? Suggestions? I am new to this community and if not new to Mac, I often feel that way. This is one of those times.

I have the same problem on the latest iTunes software and Windows 7. My window is maximzed and I do not see any tab for photos. Seems related to a recent update (IOS7?) as this was there - at least before the very big change to the interface.

I have 2 iphones registered under the same appleID. Every text message that is sent to my phone, the other phone receives as well. If I turn "imessage" off on the other phone, will this solve the problem from her receiving text messages meant for me?

I have 2 Iphones, registered under the same AppleID. Mine, and my mom's. I recently (today) did the software udate for her phone, and ever since-she receives every message i send to my girlfriend, and every response that my girlfriend sends to me. I read up on Imessage, and checked the settings on both phones. On each phone "imessage"was turned on, so i turned Imessage off. Will this solve the problem of my mom receiving every message that i send and receive? Also, if i turn Imessage back on, on my phone-will i still have privacy to text?

Why not create a second Apple ID? Wouldn't that solve the problem much more straightforwardly?

I have a CD stuck in the drive. Is there are quick fix or do I need to take it into an Apple store. I have a MacBook Pro 15"

I have a disc stuck in the drive. Is there a fix I can perform or do I need to bring my MacPro to the Apple store?
Phil

Here are some standard remedies.
First try the normal methods to remove the disc. Drag its icon to the Trash can in the Dock or select 'Eject' from the File menu.
Shut down the computer and start up whilst holding down the mouse button. This may take some time, but keep your finger on the mouse button right up until the disc comes out or the log-in screen has appeared.
Open Disk Utility and choose the disc you wish to eject in the left-hand pane, then click on the Eject button.
Some Macintoshes have a paperclip hole that you can insert a straightened paperclip into, manually triggering the eject mechanism.
Open Terminal and type "drutil tray eject" to eject the disc/tray, and "drutil tray close" to close the tray.
If your computer has an eject button on the keyboard, restart the computer holding down the Option key. When the startup disk selection screen appears, let go of the option key and press the keyboard's eject button.

Title Bar stuck under the Menu bar and I cannot select and move it.

I often arrange windows around the desktop and sometimes I inadvertently push a window up too far and the title bar gets under the menu bar. Once I let go of the arrow, the title bar is too far under the menu bar and I can no longer reach it to move it down. The only solution is to close out the program and start over. Is there a way unbeknownst to me to select the title bar again and move it?
Sharon

My E*Trade streaming watch list was stuck under the Menu Bar also. I tried reseting the screen resolution down to 1280 x 1024, and restarting the MarketTrader. There on the display was the stuck window, out from under. I resized and moved it to a central location, and resized the display back to my normal 1920 setting. And to my relief, the window Bar! Thanks Discussion!

If you are using the 2nd or 3rd gen Apple TV (little black box) then it would have no syncing or storage capability.
iTunes content would be accessed using home sharing.

Try a reset. Press and hold both the home and power buttons 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPhone starts on it's own.
