How do you auto hide the finder menu bar

Prior to Mavericks, I could auto hide the finder menu bar by inserting:
<key>LSUIPresentationMode</key>
<integer>4</integer>
in the finder info.plist after accessing core services/finderapp/contents/resources, but now in the Mavericks OSX, I receive the following error message:
"Finder Quit Unexpectantly" and a list of various reasons; codes; etc too long to list here.  Is auto hiding the finder menu bar even doable anymore in this operating system, and if so what is the solution?

How do you reverse that process?  I was trying it with various apps, substituting the app name in the terminal command and it worked great until I got to the "Notes" app.  I think it messed up how notes synced with iCloud.
Thanks

  • How can I make disappear the finder tool bar in the second monitor?

    How can I make disappear the finder tool bar in the second monitor?
    (I have to use ProVideoPlayer, a professional application for presenting videos and I really need a clean second monitor!)

    After changing that setting and logging out and back in as it indicated, do you still have two menu bars?
    If you are already set up that way and want to move the menu bar to the other monitor, drag it there in the Arrangement tab of the Displays system pref.

  • Using OSX 10.9.4.  Why does the Finder Menu bar disappear when using Chrome?

    I've used Chrome for a couple years, and all of a sudden the Dock and the Finder Menu bar are not accessible when using Chrome.  They are present in every other app, as usual.  Please help me to get the Finder Menu and Dock active when using Chrome.  Thank you.

    Chrome may somehow be set to run in full-screen mode. I don't use Chrome so can't check its settings options, but try hitting ESC when Chrome is doing this and see if you get the menubar and Dock to reappear.

  • How do you tell if the advanceddatagrid scroll bars are showing?

    How do you tell if the advanceddatagrid scroll bars are showing? This is because the grid crashes when mouse scroll events are firing when theres not enough data so that scroll bars are not showing

    Basically when you have enough data in a datagrid so that it cannot all be displayed at once, you have the scrollbars showning allowing you to scroll.When you can see all the data or rows at once you cannot see the scrollbars. What I need to test for is whether these SB's are currently showning.
    Hope that is clearer.

  • How do I temporarily hide the horizontal scroll bar ?

    How do I temporarily hide the horizontal scroll bar ?

    cor-el: I have re-read your posts and have attempted to follow the instructions with these results:
    Firefox>tools>web developer>scratch pad(deleted the instructions so as to have a blank box)>inserted your code, vis. javascript:void(document.body.style.setProperty('overflow-x','hidden',));
    The result was: syntax error
    I then performed the same steps as above but inserted your code: javascript:void(document.body.style.setProperty('overflow-y','hidden','important'));void(document.body.style.setProperty('overflow-x','hidden','important'));
    The result was that after clicking on 'run' nothing at all happened. The cursor just kept blinking.
    I'll bet that there is just some small syntactic error.

  • How can I auto-hide the TOC

    I'm using RoboHelp 8 and have a WebHelp project in which I'd like the output to auto-hide the TOC, allowing the user to click to open it if needed. There doesn't appear to be an option for that. Instead, the user can currently choose to close it, but it defaults to Open. Any ideas on how I might accomplish this?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

  • I use Outlook Webmail, office 365 for two mailboxes. In one when I send an email it hides the top menu bar where you click send etc, meaning I cannot send email

    This works fine in the first of two inboxes I use. But in the second it does not. There should be no difference between the two as both are the same mailbox essentially (Microsoft Outlook 365).
    It happened on both my home firefox and office firefox. It works fine in Chrome.

    My organization is experiencing the same issue.
    Specifically, the missing Send Button Tool bar. I can share what we have found in our troubleshooting.
    The issue appears to be related to how the page information (specifically the Send Tool bar) is cached in FireFox.
    For example, if you follow the work-around described of using the F11 function key to take the browser window full-screen, the Send Tool bar appears. If you then sign-out while still in full screen, the tool bar info is cached – and on each subsequent launching of OWA, the Tool bar will show up; even if you resize the window to anything other than full screen or maximized. That is, once you successfully get the Tool bar – it stays working on subsequent sign on.
    At that point, the tool bar will continue to show up until the FireFox cache is next cleared. For example, if you sign out, then clear the cache – the problem will return on your next sign in. Apparently, a reboot will also clear the cache in some cases, again returning the issue at next sign on.
    We are also seeing what appears to be a memory leak. For example, if you look at the amount of memory in use by firefox when everything is working correctly (with the tool bar) – we see RAM allocation of around 200Mb. But if you are experiencing the missing tool bar – we see RAM allocation to firefox grow continually; even to the point of 1+GB. At that level, we have seen the app hang the OS on our XP machines with small on board RAM.
    I have also confirmed that the version of FireFox does not seem to matter. I can reproduce the issue in v17.x and v24.x.
    Lastly, we have been using FireFox to access OWA/Office365 for a couple of months now. This issue just presented itself in the last few days – aprox 09/15/2013 or so.
    I don’t have a solution. Just wanted to share what we have found.

  • Does anybody know how you can hide the accordion menu on roll-out?

    Hi
    I know that you can alter the roll-out on the composiiton menu items, but I have some accordion headers that drop down and when you roll off them the accordion does not collapse.
    Thanks, Peter

    Hi Vikas, thanks for your response.
    Sorry, perhaps I did not explain properly. What I meant was when you currently roll-over an accordion header it will, of course, expand to show you the full content of that accordion (in my case the accordion expands to show the full menu, allowing you to select a specific page within my site). However if you choose to not open anything from this menu and mouse away from the accordion it does not automatically collapse. If you go to www.deplounge.co.uk you will see what I mean. I built this entire site in Muse (of course!) I hope you like it.

  • How do you return to the current menu when playing dvd?

    Hello everyone,
    I am authoring a dvd that has 3 submenus with several chapters in each. How do I set it up so that if I am watching a chapter in submenu 3, I will return to it if I end it or hit "menu". Right now it keeps defaulting back to the main menu, and I have to navigate to the 2nd or 3rd, depending on what I want to watch.
    Is there a way to do this? I can't seem to find it in the manual.
    Anyhelp is greatly appreciated.
    Ymir

    A few approaches, one way is to set a variable to keep trakc of which menu you are on, then set the menu command for the track to a script
    Here is a thread where a detailed this process and there is also a link to a project you can download.
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6585885#6585885
    You would set the menu command to the same as the end jump.
    There are also other ways, but that will work. Another way is to set the menu command action for the chapter markers themselves. Also note that you may want to consider what you want the menu command to do If you play through the first ten markers (let's say) marker 11 may be on the 2nd selection menu, and you will probably want people to go there. In that case bypass the scripts and just set the menu jumps in the connection tab

  • How do you get to the ichat menu?  I am a brand new mac user

    So I accidently put the wrong user name when I was setting up ichat and I want to go back and change it with an AIM account, but I can't seem to figure out how to get into the menu of iChat.  Just got the computer last night

    Hi,
    This first  (From Defcom)
    Click on iChat in the dock at the bottom of your desktop first.
    This will either bring iChat to the Front or launch iChat is it is not open.
    Then you should be able to do irvine91's stuff
    Open iChat > In the Menu bar along the top of the screen click on iChat and then Preferences > Select the accounts tab and then you can use the plus and minus icons to add and remove new accounts.
    Removing the incorrect one and adding a new Account with the correct info is probably easier than trying to edit the existing one that is set up at the moment.
    IF the Existing one has Buddies added set up the new one then Select all the Buddies in the Current Buddy List and drag them to the new Buddy list.
    Then you can delete the first one you set up (that is incorrect).
    Presumably if you put in incorrect details it is not even able to Log-in and have not been able to add Buddies.

  • How do you increase type size in menu bars and panels?

    I recently abandoned my Mac Pro 1,1 for a shiny new Mac Pro cylinder running Mavericks 10.9.5. I have paired it with an LG 27" IPS display. The reason I am using the LG is because I was frustrated that Apple pays absolutely no attention to the pleas of their pro users for a non-reflective display.
    And now I find that the type in the menu bars and panels is so small that it literally causes me eyestrain - and that I can't increase the type size. I am older (62), but I still need to use my Mac to survive. Unfortunately, though, it appears that Apple designers have again ignored the needs of their pro users -  in this case, older ones.
    I have been a graphic designer and a producer of technical and marketing publications for over 35 years, and I appreciate good-looking design -  but the real measure of design is usability. Even great-looking design must be user friendly.
    So now I am wondering if Apple interface designers are amateurs, or if they just don't give a @#$% about their users.
    Did I miss it? Is their a way to increase type size in menu bars, etc.?

    Did I miss it?
    Yes.
    System preferences > Displays > Resolution ...
    choose "Scaled" and pick an alternate resolution.
    When you do this, text will be drawn as if your screen were actually set to that revolution, but graphics will be drawn full-scale at the native resolution.
    This feature was invented for Retina Displays, and has finally been made available for additional displays.

  • Macbook pro.minimize button is inactive. Finder menu bar and dock won't appear when firefox is open. not occuring with safari. have to click on desktop to get Finder menu bar and dock to reappear. think happens after update of something. How do I fix it?

    When i open firefox it opens up full screen (as it always has) but now the minimize button is grey (not yellow) and inactive so i can only open (green button) or close (red button) my firefox window. I can still make it smaller by dragging the bottom right corner but i can't minimize it to my dock or anything. Also, I have my dock set to auto show/hide when i roll my pointer over it. Now, whenever Firefox is open (no matter what size the window is) the Finder menu bar (with the time, battery power, etc) does not show up (which it always has before) and my dock won't auto appear when i roll my pointer over it.

    Can you check this issue on Firefox 9?

  • 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.

  • My Finder menu bar and screen is flashing.  Is this a virus?

    The icons (file folders, Hard Drive icon, etc) on my desktop and the Finder menu bar started flashing off and on, last night. I can use Mail, Safari, iPhoto, iTunes, etc. from the Dock, but it is a challenge to click on Airport on the menu bar to get on line. I shut the computer down, removed-then reinstalled the battery and restarted the computer, but the flashing began right away, again. I had exported some photos to desktop which landed atop the Hard Drive icon. I move them as quickly as I can, but the screen flashes and puts them back, so I can't access the Hard Drive. I had viewed a QT movie someone sent me earlier in the evening and also clicked on several photos in MySpace. I wonder if one of those could have done it.

    Just starting up with the install disk won't erase anything.
    Shut down the computer.
    Restart the computer and at the same time insert disk1 into the slot while holding down the option key.
    This should bring up a screen showing two different startup options.
    Pick your disk that you inserted.
    You will eventually get a screen with a window opened showing the Mac install file. Don't use this.
    Up top on the menu bar should be a pull down menu that will give you an option of disk utilities.
    Use the repair permissions function and disk repair function. These will not erase anything.
    The reason I'm not clear on the position of the menus is that I'm at work on a peecee.
    Try this and let us know..
