How do I restore the menubar in OS X Mountain Lion?

The menubar in my copy of OS X Mountain Lion disappeared at some point between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. CST. It was present prior to 9 a.m. then I left to attend Christmas festivities and, upon my return home, it's now missing. I restarted my Mac Pro once and it showed back up momentarily but has since disappeared again and multiple restarts haven't restored it.
My Mac Pro seems to be functioning normally and the installed applications will launch.

I tried a "Guest" account but no menu bar displayed.
We did have some thunderstorms move through my location (northeast Texas) earlier today and I'm wondering if perhaps there might be a connection. However, as I originally stated, my Mac Pro seems to be running normally and all of the apps that I have tried to launch have done so without fail.
It's been a long day and it's getting late. I think that I'm going to just get a good night's rest then tackle this annoyance again tomorrow.

How do I get the messaging to work with Mountain Lion?

I downloaded Mountain Lion. So far everything seems to be working properly but I can't seem to use the new messaging feature. I click on the message icon.....I can access my contacts (although it gives me NO choice of email address - seems to only pick AOL). I've tested it and the recipient doesn't receive the message nor do I see the message on any of my other devices. It's like something isn't syncing. Was I supposed to do something to start it......perhaps turn on a setting? anybody?? thanks.

Open Messages, select Messages from the App Menu and go to preferences.
Under accounts, you should have an iMessage account linked to your AppleID or iCloud account.
You may also need to click "enable this account" checkbox

How do I fix the App Store app in mountain lion which has become corrupted and won't update!

I can no longer access the App Store so cannot update my system. Ant Ideas?

In Finder hold down the option/alt key while selecting the Go menu item. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you want to make your user library permanently visible, run the below command in Applications/Terminal.
chflags nohidden ~/Library/
You will need to do that after any updates.

Before the recent updates to Firefox, clicking on the back button always brought me back to the same place on the page where I had been, but now it brings me to the top of the page. How do I restore the previous feature?

Before the recent updates to Firefox, when I would go to another page in the same window and then clickon the back button, Firefox used to bring me back to the same place on the page where I had been, but now it brings me to the top of the page, meaning that I have to laboriously scroll down to the old place. How do I restore the previous feature?

That change was made in Firefox 4, 6 months ago.
Click-hold the unified Back / Forward button <br />
or <br />
right-click it to get the Back / Forward history for that tab.
Or install this extension to get the old "drop-marker" button restored. <br />

I just upgraded to the new mobile me calendar and now all my calendar entries on iCal have been erased. As I type this the calendar entries are still on the mobile me and iphone calendars. How do I restore the calendar entries to iCal?

I just upgraded to the new mobile me calendar and now all my calendar entries on iCal have been erased. As I type this the calendar entries are still on the mobile me and iphone calendars. How do I restore the calendar entries to iCal?

Please always post your System details when you have a query. The upgrade to the new MobileMe calendar produces different results, and different problems, with different versions of OSX.
Snow Leopard: during the upgrade process your iCal calendars should be moved to MobileMe (this can take some time and you have to wait for it to happen). Once done, your iCal reads the calendars from MobileMe so any changes made in either place will be visible immediately. If this has not happened then this Apple Tech Note provides instructions:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3397
Leopard: when the upgrade is completed iCal on Leopard will not be able to see the MobileMe calendars until an additional process is carried out, detailed in this Apple Tech Note:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4330
Tiger: iCal on Tiger cannot read the MobileMe calendars, period. The only workaround is to upgrade to Leopard, or Snow Leopard if possible (Intel Mac required).

How do I restore the cloned drive ....

Good Morning,
I was wondering if you can help me. I made a copy of my hd with super duper on an external hd . Now how can I restore the drive to the macbook drive?
Thanks in advance.

If you
made the clone with SuperDuper, start up your Mac
from the clone by holding the "option" key on startup
and select the clone. Then start SuperDuper and clone
the external back to the internal.
You can use the Smart Update option if you bought and
registered your copy, which will save a ton of time
when cloning and restoring.
~I have a backup of a mac (10.4.9) made with superduper
~I attached this backup with firewire to another mac (10.3.9)
~I restarted this mac with the option key held down
but....there was no dialog box to "select the clone"
~Am i doing something wrong?
Thanks.......

In technical support, sometimes you have to make educated guesses. I'm sorry that you were offended.
iTunes does prompt when it is going to erase a device, and the message is clear.
She said in her message that she was able to successfully sync the old ipad. This indicated to me that itunes wiping the data was not an issue, because either it had been setup at the apple store (in which case it doesn't actually wipe the ipad despite saying it will*) (*based on a single case I saw), or because the itunes media folder was migrated.
Furthermore, my solution was to tell her how to backup her ipad (by either doing it manually, or as a last resort, by deleting the corrupt backup -- that she couldn't access anyway.)
I got that last part of the instructions from the "Taking Control of your iphone" book which I found samples of when I did a google search for "corrupted backup itunes".
She marked this as a solution, so it worked for her.

I entered Iphoto for my user and only photo up until 2012 were in the library. I thought the restore would do the incremental Time Machine backups too.....
