Ok now it looks slightly different and started working correctly......??? I'm very confused, it is now working on mine as well....
You must be using some other code to that which you posted as I changed the class to 'navigation' and changed the css to reflect that change too.

Spry Menu Bar problem in IE

I am using a spry menu bar, which looks perfect in firefox, but in IE (version 6.0) I cannot get the font right for when an item on the menu bar has been visited. The font should stay white, but goes to a light purple colour which is hard to read. The site is www.binscombe.net and the CSS code is below. Any help really appreciated.
Many thanks,
Martin Brunet

Double horizontal spry drop down menu bar problems

Hello Everyone,
I'm new to the spry tools and I need a little help. This is what I'm trying to accomplish in Dreamweaver CS4:
I need 2 horizontal spry menu bars for navigation. I have created a div for each spry tool, 1 div placed above the other and they cross the entire width of the page. I have created the spry menu bars. Everything seems to be working correctly in both menu bars, That is until you open the IE browser, all other browsers tested fine. The problem is that when you hover over the bottom menu bar in IE, the drop down menu does not drop all the way down. The first submenu of the drop down menu covers the main menu bar. I have tried to change the css for the spry menu bar at the ul.MenuBarHorizontal li.MenuBarItemIE to show the display: as inline and also tried block and niether had any effect. Someone please help. Thanks.

Menu bar problems in Yosemite?

Is anyone else dealing with a frozen menu bar in Yosemite?
It seems my issue is related to SytemUIServer eating up a ton of CPU power and then hanging. The problem was causing my whole system to run slowly right after I installed Yosemite two days ago. Now everything else seems to run just fine by I still have a frozen clock in the menu bar and can't access any of the options up there (clock, volume, bluetooth, time machine).
Weirdly the icons for Google Drive and Dropbox in the menu bar work just fine. At this point everything else seems fine so I suppose the problem is tolerable. But I'd really rather not have that frozen clock staring at me all the time! By the way, I everything freezes up when I try to access Date & Time settings through the main Settings menu.
Has anyone else had a similar problem?
Thanks!

Hi TheProfessor314,
If you are having an issue with being unable to use some items in the menu bar of your Mac mini there are some possibilities for troubleshooting. I would suggest first testing to see if the issue is limited to a single user account. See this article for how -
Isolating an issue by using another user account
You may also want to try booting the computer into Safe Mode to see if the issue continues to occur. See this article -
OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Menu Bar Problem with picture.

The right corner of my menu bar has vanished completely including spotlight, the date and time, and various system menu icons. Checking to add these icons in the preferences does not do anything. It is as if the menu bar is "extended" off the screen. I tried various things such as resetting the PRAM/NVRAM, SMC, deleting the com.apple.systemuiserver.plist, etc. I tried running disk utility and an archive install but I keep getting an error and can not continue. I even played around with the display settings. Here is a picture:

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

It's not a theme problem by the way.

Photoshop CS5 "full screen with menu bar" problem

Hi, I use Photoshop in a Mac computer. In CS4 when I work in "full screen with menu bar" mode, is really a full screen because the workspace go beyond the dock at the bottom. I mean, the dock is overlaping the workspace. In CS5, in the same mode is not really a full screen, the workspace ends above the dock, and the space at the bottom of the screen is wasted. I want to know why they changed that, and if there is a way to fix the problem (Hide the dock is not an option for me. Neither to use standard screen mode, cause that way I can't move the image around when zoomed out)

The following may work:
1. Record an action and use insert menu item for:
   View>Screen Mode>Full Screen with Menu Bar
                            and
   View>Fit on Screen
2. Go to: File>Scripts>Scripts Event Manager.
   In the event manager dialog choose the settings as below.
Everytime you open a document, the screen mode will go to full screen
and fit on screen.
If you decide that's a pain, you can go to the scripts event manager and remove the action.
For this to work, the action you recorded has to be in the actions panel.

HELP Menu Bar Problem

PLEASE HELP! I had to add more items to my menu bar and now
for some reason it jumps when the items are clicked on. Here is the
link, please help. I can't figure out why. I only added 3 more
items.
http://test.quickflash.com
Thank you!

Hi, loons.
The icons on the right side of the Apple menu bar are called menu extras. They are managed by the SystemUIServer process.
1. The problem you are experiencing may be due to another, third-party menu extra you have installed. Are you using any third-party menu extras?
Third-party menu extras are often launched as Startup Items or Login Items. If a third-party menu extra is causing the problem, my "Troubleshooting Startup and Login Items" FAQ can help you pin that down.
2. If that doesn't sort it out, when these menu extras disappear, immediately check the ends of these Console logs for clues. In particular, look for messages related to SystemUIServer or the specific menu extras you cited.
Good luck!

10.9.3 Menu Bar Problem

Since the new update, my menu bar at the top of the screen is missing the icons. I can still rollover the bar to get drop downs on WiFi, battery life, etc., but their icons are missing. Safari is having the same issue. The back, forward, etc. buttons are all there but the icons are missing. Not a big deal, to be honest, but when I tried to print from OpenOffice, it crashed. It functions completely fine otherwise. Any help would be welcome. Thank you.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Menu Bar Problem HELP ME!!!

hi i had lion on my Macbook Pro 13 2010 Mid
i installed Super Bundle :
Flux,Little Snapper,iStat Menus 3,iStopmotion ,SyncMate Expert,Fantashow,Video Converter for Mac,CuteClips 3,Chroniclei Parrarels
and then i had to update my computer so i did.
after restart i notice my menu bar was blinking, the problem was SystemUiServer Crash i didnt know what to do so i Formated my computer with Clean Install
Snow Leopard then Lion and again i installed the programs from super bundle and again i had to update so i did it again.
after restart the same problem so i unistalled the programs but the problem didnt sloved.
i dont know what to do .

Go to ~/Library/Preferences
Move the com.apple.systemuiserver.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
FYI, with Lion installed there's no need to do a clean install with Snow Leopard. You should use Lion Recovery instead.
Restart your Mac after you move that .plist file to the Trash. That should stop the blinking in the status menu bar.
And if I may say so, only install one third party software at a time then see how your Mac runs before installing more.
~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
For Lion: To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library

Spry menu bar problem

I am using the Spry Menu Bar to create a top navigation bar.
There are three content div's absolutely positioned below the div
for this navigation bar. Everything works fine in Firefox. But in
both IE6 and IE7, the submenus are hidden behind the content div's.
I have tried giving the content div's very low z-indexes but the
only time that worked was with negative z-indexes - then the
submenus were on top of the content div's in IE, but the content
div's disappeared in Firefox (and yes I understand why this
happened in Firefox). I tried giving the different elements in the
menu bar very large z-indexes. Either I did not get the z-index
into the correct element or that did not work either. And, yes,
there are design reasons for why I am using absolute positioning
instead of floating.
Has anyone encountered and solved this problem?

I solved the problem. I moved the top navigation bar div to
the bottom of the html code so it is the last div in the document
flow. Now the submenus are on top of the content div's in both
Firefox and IE.

Date & Time in menu bar problem

Hi
OK, I cannot get my digital clock icon to display in the menu bar on top of desktop. I had it in the past but when I go to 'date & time' in system preferences, select box to click on it, and it will deselect itself somehow. End result, no digital clock in my menu bar.
Any suggestions please???
Thanks,
Maree

Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and enter /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/ as the folder's location; when this folder appears, double-click the item Clock or Clock.menu inside and see if it appears in the menu bar.
If the clock appears, enter ~/Library/Preferences into the Go to Folder prompt and move the file com.apple.systemuiserver.plist in that folder to the desktop. Try adding the clock again.
If the clock does not appear or the item doesn't exist, use Pacifist to extract Clock.menu from your Mac OS X installation disks and then run the combo updater for your version of Mac OS X.
