Menu Bar and Dock not showing up on my 43" TV.....can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

The resolution seems a bit low - are you totally SOL or can you navigate enough from the keyboard or mouse to try to change the resolution from the Displays preference pane? (Selecting detect display followed by trying other resolutions might help the mini feed the TV the correct signal.) Also - be sure your HDTV is not "zooming" the picture. My sony has one mode where it cuts of the top and bottom of a "normal" picture to zoom and fill the width of the wide screen without changing the relative DPI of the horizontal/vertical signal. (i.e. The mini might not be the problem at all)
I can walk you through some things if you are handy with the keyboard and flying half-blind if needed.
If you have another mac (or even a PC) and a network it would be best to enable Apple Remote Desktop on the mini and use a VNC client (http://sourceforge.net/projects/cotvnc/ or http://www.realvnc.com/ only if you are not using Mac to access the mini.)
That way you can see what you are doing to twiddle with the settings and fix things up.
If that doesn't work, I would reboot the mini and hope it detects the screen better on power up.
(press everything to the left of the => and I'll add notes to the right of the => in case things are not clear what is going on.)
Apple + Tab => to tab through to the finder. If you can't see the apps - simply quit everything and you will be left in the finder. (repeat while holding down the Apple key - tab - tab - q - tab - tab -q repeat until you hear beeps each time you hit the q)
Shift + Apple + U => will bring up the utilities folder
T => will jump to Terminal
Apple + o => will open the terminal
sudo shutdown -r now => will ask you for your password after you hit enter, so type in your log in password, and the mini will reboot.
If you still have problems - we can perhaps think up a way to walk you though changing the settings. I for one will have to look up how to use the accessability (mouse keys, etc...) if needed. Of course - if you have a spare monitor - move to that until you have Remote Desktop working reliably...

My iPhone 4 has become unresponsive during the latest update I have a progress bar about half way through the update and it hasn't moved for about an hour can anyone help???

Hey Ali.M27,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with your iPhone during an iOS update. If your issues persist, you may need to restore your device in recovery mode:
iOS: Unable to update or restore

Am editing with red files in premier pro and when I export and then upload to youtube it is not showing as an hd video. can anyone help?

Then it's probably YouTube - have you checked here to see that you're watching the hi res version? It could be that YouTube is choosing an easier version to display based on your internet connection.
You can see on this screenshot that although the video has up to 1080 specs, my connection is making YouTube show me the 360p version by default.

HT201210 I have a iphone 4 and while it was updating it went into the connect to itunes and will not update to come out of it. can anyone help me "what to do?

I have a iphone 4 and it will not come out of the connect to iphone mode. I have connected to itunes and it will go about 3/4 of the way and say the phone cannot be updated. It was installing and update when this happened. can anyone help?

Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you should be able to restore to factory settings.

HT4314 I have an IPhone an IPad1 and and IPod. The game center on the IPod will not show any of the games. Can anyone help with this?

I have an IPod touch 4.2 and the game center is not showing any of the games. My Ipad1 and IPhone are running from the same account and both work great. Any suggestions how I might solve this? Thank u

I would just explain that this just started happening, that nothing has changed on the phone, that it is an original iPhone and I wondered if they are implementing a change in coverage with their Edge network in my area.
If you restore your phone, you will be given an option to back up your phone at the beginning of the process (see step 6 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414). You will be given the option to restore to that backup at the end of the restore process. Your messages are stored in the backup so restoring to the backup will return the messages to your phone. Be sure to import your photos and videos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) and back up your contacts somewhere before restoring your phone as these sometimesget lost in the restore process.

I have a gen3 iPod touch. It shows the battery charging when I plug into my PC, but will not show as an extra drive in "my computer" and won't show up in iTunes either. Can anyone help please? I have exhausted all "help" options.

I am trying to get my iPod touch (3rd gen), to show up in "My Computer" and in iTunes. I am using a usb cable and it is connecting okay, because the battery is charging. It won't show up as an external drive on my computer, and nothing in iTunes either. I have used the exact same usb cable and plugged into the exact same usb port with a different iPod touch without having this problem. I have swapped them back and forth and it seems to be a problem with this particular iPod, because the other shows up just fine. I have already downloaded and installed the latest iTunes update, and I already restarted the computer afterwards. The other iPod is a 4th gen touch, but that really shouldn't matter. I would greatly appreciate anyone's help on this matter. I know that I can't be the first person that this has happened to. Thanks.

Dude you have a jailbroken phone as stated in your first post, no need to do a second post.
As per the forum term of service you can't get help here. Use google.
that's the downfall of jailbreaking your phone.

Not able to see menu bar and dock after maximizing.

Prior to installing Yosemite, maximizing a window left the menu bar and dock visible; with Yosemite they are no longer visible. How do I reset this?

Moving the mouse pointer to top or bottom of screen (assuming menu at top and dock at bottom), should display them.
Or, Control/Command/F combination.

Apple script to enable/disable dark menu bar and dock when sunsets/sunrises

Greetings,
Regarding the new dark menu bar and dock function in Yosemite. Would it be possible to write a script that would enable this function at a certain time say sunset and to disable it at another time say sunrise?
If so, is there anybody who could possibly help me write such a script or atlas point me in the right direction please?
Many thanks in advance
G_D

Although you can set or remove the Dark interface style with defaults write syntax, the reset back to default (non-dark) interface will require a log-out/log-in cycle to entirely remove the Dark style. Toggling this style on and off in the System Preferences > General panel does not require the preceding log-out disruption. Unfortunately, other than possible GUI scripting, the Apple Script dictionary in Yosemite is very limited with respect to System Preferences access, and enabling/disabling the dark interface style.

Can't change back to white menu bar and dock

When I uncheck the box, it just stays with the dark menu bar and dock.
How can i make it change again? I'm running the latest version of Yosemite 10.10.2

Do a backup.
Quit the application System Preferences.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart the computer, 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 one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

How to hide the menu bar and Dock

Howto hide the menu bar and Dock on Mac, I found a tutorial that addfunctions esto info.plist this
<key> LSUIPresentationMode </ key>
<integer> 4 </ integer>
But does not work which you know another way to do this?

I have played with 'LSUIPresentationMode' in the past - I may be wrong but I think a value of "1" (and "2" for that matter) only really works in combination with 'LSUIElement' set to a string value of "1". The 'LSUIElement' property of course does away with the application's own menu items so isn't ideal for most applications and since you mentioned using "1" instead of "4", I assume you want your menu items visible all the time.

Hi, I've just installed mavericks but my HPc4180 will not print and is showing a 'blank' page in previews can anyone help me?

A few suggestions for you:
Try:
uninstall all HP utilities or other HP apps on your Mac
see if there is updated software on the HP website
go to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners > Print
control-click on your printer in the column on the left
select "Reset Printing System..." and "reset" in the dialog that follows
Do a factory reset on your printer
go back to printers & scanners and it should see your printer and download a driver for it from Apple

When I check for software updates only itunes and random other updates show up but not security updates or safari update. When i check installed updates I realized my last security update was 2011-004 and I still have safari 5.0.6. Can anyone help me?

Don't panic. OS X 10.5.8 is the most popular PowerPC OS out there. People run it everyday without security breaches, including myself. It isn't Windows!
If you're really that worried, I highly recommend Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac Home Edition. Supports PowerPC & Intel and Mac OS X 10.4-10.7.

iTunes is quite friendly, and very powerful.... You probably just need to set up automatic syncing in iTunes.
If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. The iPod appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES. Select the iPod there.
To the right, the iPod's Summary screen is shown. Toward the top, there is a bar of buttons, starting with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This Music screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box for Sync Music. This setting enables automatic syncing for music. If your iTunes music library is small enough to fit on the iPod's storage, you can choose to sync Entire music library. Otherwise, you can choose to sync Select playlists, artists, albums, and genres. From the lists below, select (checkmark) what you want to sync to the iPod.
Here's one convenient way to set this up. In your iTunes library, create one or more playlists. Add the ALL the songs you want on the iPod to those playlists. OR, you can use existing playlists. Back on the iPod's Music screen, select those playlists under Playlists. (You can select other items on those lists, if desired.)
When you click Apply, the songs in your selection sync to the iPod. Going forward, to update your iPod (add/remove songs), just update those playlists in your iTunes library. The iPod does not need to be connected. The next time you connect the iPod (or click Sync if already connected), iTunes automatically updates the iPod with the same changes.
NOTE: On the bar of buttons that starts with Summary, click on the other buttons (such as Movies, Podcasts, Audiobooks, etc.) to set up syncing for those iTunes media categories.

I have just installed iPhoto 11 and all of photos on my iphone have now all disappeared and ended up in my photo stream and the library in iphoto does not display all my pictures?? Can anyone help?

I have just installed iPhoto 11 and all of photos on my iphone have now all disappeared and ended up in my photo stream and the library in iphoto does not display all my pictures?? Can anyone help?

And I cant work out why all of my pictures are not diplaying in iphoto?
Is this iPhoto on your Mac? Are you referring to the photos that were in your iPhoto LIbrary prior to the upgrade to iPhoto 11? If so then apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
If that's not what you're referring to then you should describe what is happening in more detail. Remember we can't see your Mac or your iPhone so need detailed and accurate descriptions of what you're experiencing.
Also we need infomartion like do you have an iCloud account and are you logged into it on all of your devices, iPhoto and Mac? do you have Photo Stream enabled on both.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot 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, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
