Installed 10.4.8, now my yellow buttons are gone...

After installing 10.4.8, some (not all) of the yellow "minimize window" buttons are gone. Anyone else experience this, and if so, what'd you do about it?
Tks!
Butch

Hi Butch,
Are you using any third party menubar items (haxies)? Try a safe boot holding the "shift" key.
If this works look in System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login items and disable any third party login items.
Let us know.

  • Archive and install worked swimmingly, but now all my prefrences are gone.

    I am using a mac pro 2.26 i believe I recently upgraded from 10.4 to 10.5 I installed it from the installer disc and it installed fine and there is a previous system folder in the system as well. But all my itunes music and photo's are now where to be found. I think i did not check the preserve users and settings button. Is there a way to get it back. HELP PLEAs

    The easiest way may be to restore from your backups.
    Or, you may be able to find what you want in that Previous System folder, but that may involve a bit of hunting. This may help: Where important data is stored.

  • Clean install... and now all my apps are gone!

    I just did a clean install on my MBP and planning on doing a new Time Machine-backup over my old one (thus in fact deleting the old Time Machine). I haven't yet restored my user folder and documents (they're safe). Obviously my iPhone apps aren't restored in the user folder and documents.
    I have so many apps... how can I get all of them back on iTunes?
    I haven't connected my iPhone 4 to my MBP yet, afraid it'll synchronize the new state over the old one and thus lose everything!

    heres what to do:
    1. hook up your phone to your MBP
    2. In itunes right click on your phone in the bar on the left
    3. choose transfer purchases.
    this will transfer your apps back to your computer

  • Just installed 7.0.2 and all my apps are gone... What to do now?

    Just installed 7.0.2 and all my apps are gone....what to do now?????

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • I updated my iPad to ios 6.1 and now all my notes are gone.  Can you get them back?

    I updated my I pad to iOS 6.1 and now all my notes are gone.  Can you get them back?

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Offand, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"
    If these do not solve the problem you can restore from a current iTunes or iCloud backup.

  • HT4061 I did an update n now all my icons are gone?

    I was doing an update and now all my icons are gone.  The phone is charged and has a signal.  I can change the volume but it doesn't receive calls and I can't seem to shut it off.  Help!

    Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone restarts itself, usually about 10 seconds time. If this does not help, I would try to restore the iPhone. On computer open current iTunes, connect iPhone to computer with Lightning Cable. Hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Then click the Restore button of iTunes. If there is problem after this, make Genius reservation or arrangements for service and take or send to Apple for resolution under Warranty.

  • Upgrade iPhone to the new OS4 and now all my contacts are gone

    I took the new OS4 update and now all my contacts are gone! I tried restoring from a previous backup and they're still not there!
    This is very disturbing.
    What can one do to restore their contacts (that should have never been deleted in the first place)?

    I’ve contacted a friend that works for Mac; He is a bit of a genius. Apparently when you reboot there will be a copy of your backed up phones details from before you installed the new software. I'm currently trying this and just pressing ok to all of the error messages. Looking at the screen on itunes that displays the usage, over time it’s filling up more and more. Maybe also give it a go and see if second time lucky things come back, especially all those contacts. Ill let you know how I go.... I’m definitely considering blackberry after this and I have been an iPhone devotee from the start!! NOT HAPPY JAN

  • My "tap to tweet" & "tap to post" buttons are gone

    I Reset all the setting on my iPhone 4S yesterday, and now my tap to tweet and tap to post buttons are gone from the notification center. How do I get them back?

    Somehow you've turned off "Share Widget". Go to Settings>Notifications>Share Widget--then turn from OFF to *ON*

  • HT201250 I had files stored on a hard drive that were not on my Mac. I used the hard drive for my first Time Machine back up, but it was not enough hard drive space to finish. Now those stored files are gone. Is there any way I can recover them?

    I had files stored on a hard drive that were not on my Mac. I used the hard drive for my first Time Machine back up, but it was not enough hard drive space to finish. Now those stored files are gone. Is there any way I can recover them?  No, they were not part of previous Time Machine backups, and I have checked both the hard drive the documents were lost on and the new one that I now use for backups. Any suggestions would be helpful, as the lost files are old pictures that are gone forever. :[ Thanks!

    1. Yes, if both drives are formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    2. Reformat the drives if needed, open the Time Machine pane of System Preferences, and remove the drive with the pictures from the list of items set to be excluded.

  • I was logged in with a temporary profile on my pc, after restarting everything seemed to be fine. But my iTunes music is all in the cloud now, and my playlists are gone. What do I do?

    I was logged in with a temporary profile on my pc, after restarting everything seemed to be fine. But my iTunes music is all in the cloud now, and my playlists are gone. What do I do?
    My iTunes media folder shows ALL of my music still there (including all from imported CD's), but on my iTunes, it says most of it is in the cloud? As well as my playlists that I have had for YEARS, are all gone. I just recently got a new laptop and had my iTunes transferred over, when I re-downloaded iTunes onto it, everything popped up perfectly from this same file. Now after this "Temporary Profile" mishap, nothing is working properly with iTunes.
    Help! Please.

    Do this. If all the synced media like apps and music are alread in the the iTnunes library just backup the iPod and restore from that backup

  • My friend wanted to get some of the music off my itunes. when syncing it needed to udate her phone which it did - now all her photos are gone. and the last back up was from when she used my itunes 6  ago. How can we get back her photos :(Please help

    My friend wanted to get some music off my itunes - when syncing it it said she had to update her phone software first - which it did. Now all her photos are gone. When we tried to restore the last back up - the only one was from when she used my itunes 6 months ago which was from her old iphone. So now it has put all her photos from her old phone onto her new iphone and deleted all the new ones. We cannot find her new photos. Please help and there was 100 new pics. Is there any way we can get them back. I already have the program Asoftech - but it doesnt seem to register the iphone only C and D drive. Please help!

    This is called "stealing". You do not have the legal right to give her the music you have in your iTunes library unless you are the copyright holder.
    when syncing it it said she had to update her phone software first
    That's not quite what it said.  Someone should have paid more attention to the great big warning about the possibility of losing data if the phone wasn't backed up.

    It restored the backup that was made on your computer 6 months ago, which did not contain those photos. You're wasting your time trying to find them on the phone. They don't exist.
    Hopefully, your friend syncs her phone to her own computer on a regular basis. She needs to plug her phone into her computer and restore it from her last backup. That will restore it to the state it was in when the backup was made.
    She also needs to get in the habit of extracting the photos on a regular basis, like she would from any other digital camera.
