Icons in menu bar disappear

When starting up my computer this morning almost all of the icons in the menu bar had disappeared and had question marks in they place. 
Is there a solution for this?

  • Icons in Menu Bar disappearing

    Since installing Yosemite 10.10 the icons in my menu bar disappear and reappear constantly. All that remains is the spotlight icon (the File, Edit, View, etc. tabs are unaffected). From what I have read, not many others are experiencing this, since I haven't been able to find a forum regarding this problem. Anyway, one thing that might be relevant is that when installing Yosemite, my MacBook Pro shut off. The battery was fully charged. When I turned it back on, the MBP restarted the installation process and now I'm here. Aside from problems with iTunes 12.0.1.26 not detecting my iPod Classic, which many others seem to be experiencing, this is the only issue I have with Yosemite. Should I just wait for an update? I've posted two screenshots of exactly what it looks like with and without the icons. I named my MBP gucci little piggy after a track on Ok Computer haha.

    that's what I was referring to, yeah.
    Yes, when I entered it in terminal this was the result:

    Looks like my font has changed haha. Anyway, when I manually run it, it forces the icons to appear briefly, but then they return to flashing at seemingly random intervals. At one point I was spamming the .app and occasionally two sets of icons would appear in the menu bar; one set on the right where they normally appear, and another set of identical icons including my user name, time, battery life, etc. appeared in the middle of the menu bar. That led me to believe the problem may be independent of the SystemUIServer.app
    When I created another user the problem wasn't there! Nice! Unfortunately I'm still stuck with the notorious flashing.

  • Icons on menu bar disappear when cursor is hovers

    When there are more than one .pdf file open, the icons on the menu bar disappears when the curson hovers over them.  To get them to reappear, Adobe Reader has to be close and reopen.  This happens randomly.  Has anyone else seen this and is there a fix.

    Have you checked your network settings?

  • Icons in menu bar disappear and show up again

    All icons in my icon bar in the upper right corner disappear every other second and start to show up again one after each other.
    I have no clue how to stop this annoying behavior. I did not do anything special.
    Does anybody have any idea?
    THX

    Go to ~(Home)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist and delete that file then log out and back in or restart. Your menu bar should return to default.
    This may solve it, or the problem may actually be in the .plist of the application you used. Go through your preferences and see if any name without "com.apple..." rings a bell. Don't delete it just drag it to the desktop and log out and back in or restart.
    Let us know.

  • Spry Menu Bar disappears absolute position

    Hello all this is my first time posting on this site so bear with me. I have a semi-transperant spry menu bar that i inserted into the header div, over an image. I moved the menu bar -38px, when the position is set to relative the menu bar is visible, however the old position of the menu bar has a blank white space there. I think this is due to the relative position property. When i change it to absolute the whole menu bar disappears? http://www.brightlikethesun.com/index2.html (the position is back to relative to show the menu bar and also background for header is blue to show the space)

    1) Padding is only placed on the top and/or bottom of the divs. The elements within these divs have padding on their sides. This saves you from any "box model math". Keep in mind, if you add any side padding or border to the div itself, it will be added to the width you define to create the *total* width. You may also choose to remove the padding on the element in the div and place a second div within it with no width and the padding necessary for your design.
    2) No margin has been given to the columns since they are all floated. If you must add margin, avoid placing it on the side you're floating toward (for example: a right margin on a div set to float right). Many times, padding can be used instead. For divs where this rule must be broken, you should add a "display:inline" declaration to the div's rule to tame a bug where some versions of Internet Explorer double the margin.
    3) Since classes can be used multiple times in a document (and an element can also have multiple classes applied), the columns have been assigned class names instead of IDs. For example, two sidebar divs could be stacked if necessary. These can very easily be changed to IDs if that's your preference, as long as you'll only be using them once per document.
    4) If you prefer your nav on the right instead of the left, simply float these columns the opposite direction (all right instead of all left) and they'll render in reverse order. There's no need to move the divs around in the HTML source.

        <p><img src="BLTS2.jpg" alt="BLTS" width="411" height="297" align="left" /><img src="BLTS font.jpg" width="340" /> is a Post-Rock band from San Antonio. They were born in early 2012 from the collective desire to make beautiful, thought provoking, and at times, chaotic music. Much like fellow Texan bands like Explosions in the Sky and This Will Destroy You, they are entirely instrumental, and known for creating progressively intricate waves of ambiance that grow with intensity and an unabashed wash of emotion. Attuned to their affinity for dynamics, seeing them live takes the listener from deafening walls of orchestrated sound, to melodies so subtle that one finds themselves acutely aware of their own breathing. <br />
          Bright Like The Sun&rsquo;s debut album, Coda Fin, was engineered/mixed by Alex Bhore (of This Will Destroy You), and mastered by TW Walsh (of Pedro The Lion). The record, which was self released, was made available on April 12, 2013.<br /><br /><img src="BLTS3.jpg" width="330" height="245" align="right" /></p>

    What I see:
    You need a width on the ul.MenuBarVertical style. Make it the same width as the ul.MenuBarVertical li selector.
    Remove the float: none; from this style:
    ul.MenuBarVertical ul li
         width: 12em;
         float: none;
    No such measurement as a half a pixel:
    ul.MenuBarVertical ul
         border: .5px solid #CCC;
    If you want a border, 1px is minimum...you repeat this incorrect half-pixel in several places.

  • Mac Keeps Crashing - Menu Bar Disappears and Nothing Will Run

    I'm having major problems with a macbook, 2.2Ghz, 4Gb RAM, 160Gb Hard Drive, 10.5.2
    I'm not sure if this is a software bug, something to do with the fact that I've recently installed 4Gb RAM, replacing 2Gb that I installed a few months ago, or possibly something with parallels desktop running Vista, I recently installed several vista updates.
    Basically, there are several ways in which the computer keeps crashing - I've pretty much figured out how to make it crash now. When it crashes, the menu bar disappears, sometimes leaving the shadow beneath it and the right hand icons, sometimes not, and the dock becomes useless - nothing will run. I cant use expose etc or switch between windows. Pressing Cmd Alt Esc to open the force quit dialogue box bring up an empty box - implying that nothing whatsoever is running! I have to physically shut down the computer using by holding the power button and start it back up again. When it starts up, it sometimes continues to refuse to work until i restart it again. There is no message whatsoever about having restarted or crashed.
    The computer will work fine for most processes, but the things making it crash are:
    1. Entering Time Machine (I've had to stop backing up and disconnect my time machine drive now)
    2. Using parallels desktop - I run windows vista, and it'll work fine until I launch any applications that are more complicated than just solitaire or freecell - windows messenger and powerpoint will cause the crash. OSX won't be working, but windows will continue to work fine - I can finish what Im doing and shut it down, although keyboard input no longer works. I then have to restart OSX.
    3. Running DVD Player in Front Row has now started bringing up the grey screen of death and telling me to restart.
    Obviously these things can be avoided - but I can't back up my computer, I can't watch DVD's without crashing the computer, restarting and then going straight into DVD player, and I can't use the copy of Vista on Parallels that I've just spent a fair bit of money on.
    I've tried taking out each of the 2Gb Kingston RAM cards, which came brand new and sealed, to see if one or other is possibly faulty, but they are both causing the same problems. I don't have the previous RAM cards to hand to test.
    Has anyone here experienced anything like this before, or can anyone help me?

    Hiya Pricerob,
    Your problems seem to be exactly the same as the issue I'm having when it happens. Can I ask how much RAM you have installed, and how frequently the problem occurs? I'm curious also because I'm planning on buying an imac soon, and was planning on installing the 4Gb of RAM I have into that when it arrives - the £300 apple charges for the upgrade is a little excessive.
    I mentioned that I've tried to download the latest firmware update, but it keeps crashing upon completion. Have you had any issues like this?
    Another really obscure thing I've found regarding the firmware update is that it saves an install file to my Applications/Utilities folder. This file would cause my mac to crash. Every time I opened the utilities folder, it would crash. I moved it to the desktop, and had major issues where the computer would crash immediately upon startup because the file was there, and the same problem once I managed to get it in the trash. It was only by accessing the macbook in target disk mode that I was able to delete the file and use my computer as normal again.
    Anyway, considering the problems I've had, would anyone say it's worth risking installing the RAM into a new imac when it comes, considering that the problems with my macbook are ongoing even when the RAM is removed and I can easily reinstall the operating system on a brand new computer, or should I leave it and buy some more?

  • Most of the menu bar disappears on connecting mobile phone

    So, I have a strange glitch happen when I connect my Mobile Phone under Snow Leopard.
    Once I connect it, a new icon appears, showing five progressively bigger bars (just like a network measure), I suppose it's something to do with the mobile phone's network connectivity/modem.
    Anyways, a few seconds later, the following message appears:
    'A new network interface has been detected.'
    After this, most of my icons on the menu bar disappear, including the wi-fi, bluetooth, battery, date, clock, etc. Spotlight intermittently appears and disappears, but I can't use it at all (neither by clicking or using the shortcut).
    I have created a new user account, and the exact same problem happens, so I suppose it's not my user account problem.
    I'm using a Sony Ericsson device, btw.
    Just wondering if someone else had this problem?
    The device has bluetooth ruined, so I need to connect it to sync, etc (as well as recharge).
    Since I believe this is somehow related to SL trying to create a new Network connection through the mobile phone, and I don't really care about that, is there any way I can disable SL to NOT try to establish a modem connection with it automatically?
    Disabling it really doesn't work, because SL simply creates a new one automatically, which is kinda silly, and I really don't get why it does that...
    cheers.

    I'm having this exact problem as well. (Spotlight's behaviour is actually SystemUIServer crashing and restarting in an endless loop.)
    I'm going to submit this to the Bug Reporter but temporary workarounds are very welcome since it's frustrating to have to log out and in again every time I plug my cell phone in!

  • Top menu bar disappears

    The problem that I am having is after my mac sits idle for awhile it seems to freeze up. I can move the cursor with the mouse but if I attempt to open anything in the dock it doesn't respond. If I try to quit a program on the dock by holding down the mouse and press quit, the top menu bar disappears and I can't shutdown the computer unless I hold the power button in. This seems to be a relatively new problem, within the last couple of months. Anyone have the same problem and are there any solutions?

    This seems to be a relatively new problem, *within the last couple of months.*
    Please describe in detail all you have attempted to do in order to resolve the issue during those _last couple of months._ Don't want any of the users here duplicating things you have already tried.
    How large is your hard drive and how much hard drive space do you have left?
    Have you tried the following?
    Disconnect all peripherals from your computer. Boot from your install disc & run _*Repair Disk*_ from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
    Select your language.
    Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
    Select *Disk Utility.*
    Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click *First Aid.*
    Click _*Repair Disk.*_
    Restart your computer when done.
    Repair permissions after you reach the desktop-http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751 and restart your computer.

  • Menu bar disappearing in full-screen (I mean, not sliding down when mouse is at the top of the screen)

    Well, I guess the title speaks for itself.
    Sometimes (once yesterday, once today) the menu bar disappears and fails to reappear when i point my mouse at the top of the screen. It's a minor nuisance in some apps, but it's boring as **** in Safari, as it doesn't allow me to quickly open pages from my history...
    I've tried rebooting and that seemed to solve the problem. Restarting Finder via force quit doesn't seem to solve anything, though.
    Has something like this happened to someone else?
    Thanks

  • Menu Bar disappears after quitting applications

    I just got my 2012 Mac Mini 2.3 i7 + Fusion Drive. Installed a few standard applications (Office, VLC, Chrome, Handbrake, Transmission, AppCleaner). Everytime I quit an application my menu bar disappears as well. A simple key press or click on the screen brings back the Menu Bar, but it shouldn't be disappearing.
    I know I'm not enabling Full Screen mode unless someone is aware of a "behind the scenes" workaround.
    Anyone have anymore luck with this?
    Thanks in advance

    So interestingly enough, I may have solved this by adding my 2nd monitor. I was seeing the issue when using an HDMI -> Mini DisplayPort cable and a single monitor. I just got an identical 2nd monitor about 30 min. ago (thanks UPS guy!) and hooked that one up via HDMI -> HDMI. Now the menu bar is always there.
    I wonder if this has to do with something related to the Mini DisplayPort/Thunderbolt?

  • Menu bar disappears when applications quit

    Hello everyone,
    I have this issue on my brand New iMac 27 (core i5 / Fusion drive) since it's out of the box : each Time i quit any application, the menu bar disappears and i have to click on the desktop to make it back.
    Any clue anyone?

    I just got a 27" Core i5 with the Fusion Drive and it was doing the same thing - Menu Bar would disappear from screen when I quit any application.
    I called Apple, their guy (nice guy, btw) told me to do the following:
    - power off/shut down the Mac
    - unplug the power cord
    - press and hold the power button for about 10 seconds
    - plug in the power cord
    - restart
    I did this and the problem was resolved. He said this procedure resets the System Management Controller.
    It worked for me - hope it works for you and others who experience this.

  • No icons on menu bar

    I previously had spotlight, time, language, ect. icons on the menu bar but now there is only the gmail icon. I tried clicking on the options of adding icons on menu bars, but it doesn't work. For example, i click "show time and date" and when i switch panes, it resets itself. Spotlight and others doesn't work either. So if anybody can help, I really appreciate it.

    Hi, Dale —
    Seems as if there've been a lot of folks lately who've encountered problems with SystemUIServer — the process that manages the right-hand side of the menu bar.
    Troubleshooting this may require several rounds of interacting. For now, try these:
    (1) Delete the preferences file ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist, restart, and reset as required in System Preferences
    (2) Disable all "system enhancers" — including especially any 3rd-party Menu Extras — that you may have installed. Some of these may show up in System Preferences »» Other. In particular, disable or uninstall Application Enhancer (APE) if it's there.
    Please post back to share your progress, and we'll take it from there
    HTH!
    Regards,
    Dean

  • Menu bar disappears completely

    Whenever i try to activate File Sharing the top menu bar disappears.
    Then the mouse won't click, the keyboard won't respond (except ctrl+alt+eject).
    Then the only way to restart is to force shutdown the computer.
    Thanks for the help,

  • Strange! JDev Menu Bar Disappears

    Hello,
    Has anyone experienced wierd behavior with jdev (either 10g or 9) - where the graphical menu bars disappear? I still see the file menu, but the other menus are gone.
    --Bill                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

    I just thought I'd update this thread for future generations who may run into this problem. It took filing a TAR with Oracle to finally get an answer. It seems that the ide.properties file in the {install_dir}\jdev\system9.0.5.2.1618 directory sometimes becomes corrupt if JDeveloper fails to exit properly. If you delete this directory, the next time you start JDev, it will rebuild this directory. Unfortunately, you'll lose all of your previous settings for connections and window layouts. You can migrate from a previous version to help this somewhat. I've made a backup copy of my properties file in case this happens again.
    Hope this helps,
    Mark Brown
