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)
2006-08-29 16:23:15 -0400

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.

  • I cant find setting and appstore icon on my ipad

    i cant find setting and appstore icon on my ipad mini, any good suggestion please

    Search for the apps by swiping from screen to screen or by using Spotlight. If you are running iOS 7 swipe down form the middle of the home screen to get to the search, if you are using an earlier iOS, swipe to the right form your first home screen to get to the search. Type in Settings. When the app appears tap on it and it will open.
    For the App Store - Check Settings>General>Restrictions and make sure that you didn't disable it.
    You can also reset the home screen layout and the icon will reappear - but the home screen will return to the way that it looked when you first activated your iPad.

    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.

  • 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.

  • [SOLVED] Spacing between start menu and tray icons lost

    Hi,
    I am using KDEmod + Arch
    After todays upgrade, spacing between start menu at the left and tray icons at the right lost making the tray icons align to the left side of the tray. An X mark in a red box appeared in between on mouse hover, shows the message that : Unable to load the widget, could not find the requested component: stasks.
    A screen shot is here:
    http://twitpic.com/od3jh
    What is to be done to rectify it?
    Last edited by absolutevoid (2009-11-05 18:31:36)

    Long:
    You're using the stasks plasma widget, which likely just needs to be recompiled for kde 4.3.3, as it was just upgraded from 4.3.2 in Arch's Extra repository and I imagine the same applies to KDEMod.
    pacman -Q | grep stask    will likely show you what the stasks plasma widget is called.
    If it's a kdemod package or returns nothing (meaning stasks is in some other plasma applet package, perhaps kdemod-plasma-applets or something.. pacman -Q | grep plasm would show all such packages with 'plasma' in the name), you'll need to recompile it with ABS or just post on the KDEMod forum and wait for them to update it. If you haven't rebooted since upgrading, there's sometimes something out of my ability to explain which causes KDE stuff not to show up / work properly even after running 'kbuildsycoca4' or 'kbuildsycoca' or killing and restarting kdm until said reboot.
    The two stasks plasmoids I see in the arch user repository are "stasks-manager-plasmoid" (which you're likely using) and "plasma-stasks-patched-plasmoid-hg". If pacman -Q | grep stask shows one of those, simply recompile it via yaourt -S name_of_the_widget, and you should be good to go on logout/in or reboot or what have you.
    Short:
    Run in konsole: pacman -Q | grep stask
    If it shows something with "kdemod" in the name or returns nothing, you should probably post a bug report with the KDEMod/Chakra guys at chakra-project.org (bug tracker is currently down, use the forums). If it shows "stasks-manager-plasmoid" or "plasma-stasks-patched-plasmoid-hg", recompile it via yaourt -S name_of_the_package and log out/in (or reboot if necessary.. it shouldn't be though).

  • Menu  and the icon representation  will be disastrous small when highly scalable screens.

    A Photoshop nuisance for years: The Photoshop menu bar at the top of the screen and the icon representation of the tool bar on the left of the screen will be disastrous small when highly scalable screens. The size is fixed as set in concrete, no matter what settings in the operating system (Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit) is selected in the menu of Photoshop or. At the present time, this is an imposition. On the net, we learn that this can be changed only by a corresponding script. Does anyone know of such a script here in the Forum? I would (and surely many others) extremely grateful. Blindflug

    Hello,
    first of all, coungrats' for the aquisition
    second, i shall try to response to some of your "dislike" afirmations.
    one:
    about the translation, it's a classic old translation - the format "efectue" exists since the first phone was translate in french to be sold on the french market. It was standard imputed, and improved with years. I don't want to say that it's perfect the way it is (you should see the romanian version ) ), because neither one (except english) isn't, but it's fine..
    two:
    Google maps... on a product that uses his own maps, and a prepayd navigation sistem... i don't think they will ever do that... especially when the product owns a gps reciver..
    three:
    you can copy the files in any kind of location, either the phone memory or micro sd card.
    four:
    as for the radio, i saw someone posted on this information that the handsfree replaces the antenna, wich is true. if you want, you can switch the radio to the speaker, it's in the radio menu.

  • Help me find tables and the relation at CRM_DNO_MONITOR

    hi...
    Could anyone help me finding transparent tables of CRM_DNO_MONITOR (transaction code at solution manager)?
    So far i've found
    >CRMD_ORDERADM_H
    >DNOD_NOTIF
    >DNOD_NOTIF_S
    >BUT000
    is there any other tables?
    what i really want to find is the relations between those tables.
    i've already found relation between the three top, but i couldn't find relation the three top with BUT000.
    i think there is (are) other table(s) that related them.
    Could anyone help me?
    Thanks..

    Thanks Ram for answering my question...
    I've tried to check using SE36, i still don't get what i want.
    Actualy what i want to do is, determine the business partner for a certain GUID(or OBJECT ID).
    I've searched in this forum, some said that i had to connect it through CRMD_ORDER_INDEX.
    It didn't work. Although CRMD_ORDERADM_H and CRMD_ORDER_INDEX both had GUID field, i can't find same data at those field.
    Some also said that i had to use FM 'COM_PARTNER_CONVERT_GUID_TO_NO'.
    Aparently i can only found that this FM just for converting PARTNER to PARTNER_GUID (or PARTNER_GUID to PARTNER) that both are on the same table, that is BUT000.
    I've tried to match BUT000-PARTNER_GUID with CRMD_ORDERADM_H-GUID or  BUT000-PARTNER_GUID with CRMD_ORDER_INDEX-GUID, the result is the same, there aren't match data.
    Did i miss some step here?
    My next question is, i want to find which field and table that stores message status (New, In Process, Customer Action, Sent to SAP, Solution Proposed, and Confirmed) and how to connect those table to CRMD_ORDERADM_H.
    Thanks...

  • Text labels missing under Library and Viewer icons in V31

    I just built a multi-folio app with DPS Pro Edition. I specified V31. When I preview the resulting Developer app on my iPad, the text under the small "Library" and "Viewer" icons at the bottom of the screen is missing. The Library and Viewer icons are there, but the space below the icon where the words "Library" and "Viewer" should appear is missing.
    I didn't select "Use Customized Strings" or anything like that when I built the app in DPS App Builder. Any ideas?

    Sent the details to your email. If you can:
    Can you try to build a new app and see if the labels are missing?
    If the app is for both ipad/iphone try to rebuild for ipad only?
    Check the app builder version number?

  • Need help in finding patterns and there counts

    Hi All,
    I need help in finding patterns as well as number of occurrences of those patterns in a table's column's data.
    Consider sample data - one row's column from a table:
    "S-S-S-P-S-B-S-S-C-S-P"
    My requirement is:
    I should get all the patterns that are followed by 'S'.
    Example: for the above given data the patterns and counts are
    SS - count is 3
    SP - count is 2
    SB - count is 1
    SS - count is 1
    There is one more condition for the above requirement:
    If 'S' is followed by 'A', then 'SA' should not be considered as a pattern. The pattern should stretch until a non 'A' character is found.
    Consider sample data for the above case:
    "S-S-A-S-S-A-A-C-S-P-S-A"
    for the above given data the patterns and counts are
    SS - count is 2
    SP - count is 1
    SAS - count is 1
    SAAC - count is 1
    The data column is stored as VARCHAR2 type.

    Thanks in advance,
    Girish GWhenever you have a question, please post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements) and the results you want from that data.
    For example, your sample data might be:
    CREATE TABLE     table_x
    (       x_id     NUMBER     PRIMARY KEY
    ,     txt     VARCHAR2 (30)
    INSERT INTO table_x (x_id, txt) VALUES (1, 'S-S-S-P-S-B-S-S-C-S-P');
    INSERT INTO table_x (x_id, txt) VALUES (2, 'S-S-A-S-S-A-A-C-S-P-S-A');and the results you want from that data might be:
    X_ID TXT                       PATTERN                          CNT
       1 S-S-S-P-S-B-S-S-C-S-P     SB                                 1
       1 S-S-S-P-S-B-S-S-C-S-P     SC                                 1
       1 S-S-S-P-S-B-S-S-C-S-P     SP                                 2
       1 S-S-S-P-S-B-S-S-C-S-P     SS                                 3
       2 S-S-A-S-S-A-A-C-S-P-S-A   SAAC                               1
       2 S-S-A-S-S-A-A-C-S-P-S-A   SAS                                1
       2 S-S-A-S-S-A-A-C-S-P-S-A   SP                                 1
       2 S-S-A-S-S-A-A-C-S-P-S-A   SS                                 2(This corresponds to what you posted, except that there is only one output row for 'SS' when x_id=1.)
    One way to get those results in Oracle 11 is:
    WITH   got_s_cnt    AS
         SELECT     x_id, txt
         ,     REGEXP_COUNT (txt, 'S')     AS s_cnt

    GROUP BY  x_id
    ,            txt
    ,       pattern
    ORDER BY  x_id
    ,            pattern
    ;At the heart of this query is the call to REGEXP_SUBSTR:
    REGEXP_SUBSTR ( x

  • Finding the setup files for the help utility favorites menu and MAX configuration

    I have LabVIEW 2011 installed on my laptop, or it might be more accurate to say that I did have it installed until my computer crashed a few days ago and I am now trying to restore my information back into a new computer with a complete new install!  So, one of the things that I would like to do is to find the file that contains the "favorites" information in the help menu so that I can copy the file into the correct place so that the newly installed LabVIEW will populate the help file utility with the previous listing of the favorites in the help utility. Does anyone know where this file is installed and what it's name is? Also, it would seem that there is another file which I would sure know about for the configuration af the devices and tasks that were setup in MAX. So, does anyone know where this file is located so that I can have MAX configured the same as I originally had configured before my computer crashed?

    Hi Cuthbert,
    To be able to recover your MAX configuration you should try to follow the process of removing MAX Database Corruption.
    You can look for the path where the folders are in the computer that crashed and then copy those to the new computer.
