Menu bar clock and menu bar input menu disappear

Every time I reboot the menu bar clock and the menu bar input menu ("the flag") disappear. I have to re-tick the options in the System Preferences (Date & Time > Clock > Show the date and time; International > Input Menu > Show input menu in menu bar). However, after the next reboot they're gone again. What can I do to keep them there permanently?

You may need to try trashing the com.apple.systemuiserver.plist.
This can be found in HD/User/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
Just delete it and reboot.
Then try to set the new preferences.

  • Cable Between Physical Input and Seq. Input Disappears By Itself

    Today, inexplicably, while recording routine MIDI overdubs on a cue, I suddenly lost MIDI thru from my master keyboard thru Logic to my MIDI racks. MIDI tracks played fine, but no MIDI thruput.
    Tested the MIDI interfaces, AMS, rebooted the computer and the interfaces, all the usual stuff. Couldn't find any reason why I suddenly lost thruput.
    It was only because I was at my wit's end that I decided to look at the Clicks and Ports Layer in the Environment to see if anything "somehow" got weird. And sure enough... the cable between the Physical Input and the Sequencer Input had disappeared. Gone. Vanished. Deleted.
    How this could have happened without my deliberately going into the Environment, selecting the Clicks and Ports Layer and purposely deleting the cable connection is totally beyond me. This has got to be one of the weirdest behaviors I've seen. And just remember everyone, "weird" is an anagram for "wired" which, unfortunately, proved not to be the case.
    Anyone else ever have this happen? Any ideas as to what might have caused this?

    Amin,
    I've thought along these lines too, surmising that: items (or data) which were selected/highlighted in various windows at various times were somehow still subject to such actions as Delete, Cut, or Clear, despite the fact that those windows were currently closed. Now, I rarely (closer to "never") have need to visit the Clicks/Ports layer of the Environment, let alone tinker with the connection between phys input and seq input such that that cable might ever remain in a "selected" or "highlighted" state to begin with.
    But in an effort to troubleshoot the missing cable scenario according to this theory, I deliberately highlighted the cable, closed that window, and continued working. I was hoping that at some point during normal editing operations I might lose my MIDI thruput again (because it got cut/deleted/cleared in association with a cut/delete/clear operation of another event or object) and then backtrack through the Undo History hoping to discover what operation caused it.
    Well, 1.5 days later, after intensive editing of the same sequence (which ended up becoming quite complex) the cable stayed intact! So to a certain extent I think perhaps my theory is wrong, but I'm keeping an open mind.
    But something valuable came out of this... considering LPH/David's information, I think that from now on I'm going to eliminate the physical input and sequencer input objects from my environment; they've proven to be a liability. And it's easy enough to add them to a song in the event I want to do some MIDI processing on Logic's input side.
    I'd like to respond to your thoughts on floating windows in a separate post.
    Cheers Amin!

  • I just recently installed mountain lion and an update for SMC firmware to install power nap. Everything is working except for the menu bar, the icons native to the system do not respond, and features like the clock and battery meter freeze.

    I just recently installed mountain lion and an update for SMC firmware to install power nap. Everything is working except for the menu bar, the icons native to the system do not respond, and features like the clock and battery meter freeze.
    When I mouse over the icons, the rainbow appears as if it was processing something. The problem is eliminated when I restart my computer but it comes back after a while.
    I guess I cant make a backup copy and restore the whole disk because the copy would be made with this error.
    Can anyone help me? Anyone with the same issue?

    Update: I was able to test out the HDMI adapter as well and the same issue occured.  I'm stumped.  10.8.1 maybe.

  • Yosemite menu bar, input source Greek flag removed. How to get it back?

    In the new OS X Yosemite, the menu bar input source country flag has been removed for some countries. The Greek flag got removed, while the disputed "Macedonian" flag is intact. What was the reasoning behind this? This is very offensive to Greek OS X users. Please put back the flag, or post a solution to this asap. It will not go unnoticed.
    John

    To convey your views to Apple, you need to use
    http://www.apple.com/feedback
    Apple seems to have been gradually replacing flags with alphabetic symbols wherever possible.  Chinese and Japanese have been this way for quite a long time, and in Yosemite I count 30 keyboards (including Greek), nearly half the total, without the flag.  This is harder to do for Macedonian, which is one of many countries using the Cyrillic alphabet.
    The easiest way to get the Greek flag back would be to download the app Ukelele, which includes copies of the Greek keyboard and the old flag icon, which you can install and use instead of Apple's.

    I can also send the keyboard and flag to you if you want if you provide an email.

  • Adobe Reader files cause the menu bar & dock to disappear.

    Some files that I download from the internet & open in Adobe Reader Version 10.0.2 cause the menu bar & dock to disappear. If I click on the desktop below this Adobe Reader window they reappear, but disappear once again when I click on this Adobe Reader window. It is not Full Screen mode but something else. Any suggestions on how to view these files in the normal manner would be appreciated. Thank you.

    I've never installed Adobe Reader to one of my Mac's since Apple started providing Preview. I use it on PC's, but that's because it's already installed. The constant security issues and bug issues with Adobe products like Reader and Flash have made me try to just ignore that company as much as possible. On the other hand, some PDF's like forms do not work very well in Preview, but I've been able to get around that.
    From what I've read, those command key shortcuts are supposed to be toggles and could continue to show pdf documents in one of the formats until you change the setting in the programs preferences. When changed, the documents should continue to show up in whichever view you have chosen.
    I found this chart on one of Adobe's support pages.
    The following table shows the full-screen keyboard shortcuts.

  • Fast User names/menu disappear from menu bar

    When I activate fast user switching, the name in the menu bar seems to disappear. Then when I go to Prefs to reactivate it (by unchecking then checking it again) it displays over the top of the Airport and Volume icons, at which time if I click it then to use it, it disappears completely again. The only way I seem to eb able to use FSW is to go back to login window with user list displayed and do it that way (hassle).

    Hi Paul
    This could be a corrupt preference file, specifically 'systemuiserver.plist'. But there are potentially two of them, so ...
    In "/Users/<yourname>/Library/Preferences", delete com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
    In "/Users/<yourname>/Library/Preferences/ByHost", delete com.apple.systemuiserver.xxx.plist where 'xxx' is a 12 digit (hexadecimal) numeric string.
    Then log out and back in again. You may need to go to System Preferences to put back the menu items you need to display.
    If this alone doesn't work, you may need to delete your caches, so repeat the above and then:
    In "/Users/<yourname>/Library/Caches", delete everything
    Let us know if this helps.

  • Audio icon in upper right menu disappears and there is no sound Went to Apple preferences which says there is no output device. I can't figure out what to do. Help!

    There is a sound icon in the upper right menu which disappears and reappears. When it disappears there is no sound. Went to Apple preferences for sound preferences. When the sound icon is off, this page is not active. Says "mute" is activated and that there is no output device. Cannot fix this problem. How do I retrieve the sound icon and get sound back? 

    Hi Ronnie, anything in particular going on when this happens?
    Long shot, but...
    Next time it happens... Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there, some things will change it for their own use, then not set it back

  • Dock and Menu disappear only for Safari

    My dock and menu disappear only when I am using Safari. They re-appear when I hover my mouse at the location that they should be at, but for some reason their default positions are to be hidden.
    The dock and menu are present for all other apps and when I'm on the desktop--basically whenever Safari isn't "chosen" as the active window.
    I have checked to make sure that Safari is NOT in Full Screen mode. What could be the problem?

    This has happened to me before and it took me a long time to work it out.
    But all you need to do is froce quit safari or any application that this is happening to and start the application again.
    Hope it works.

  • SAP Menu disappeared in GUI 7.10p4  after update from rel.6.20

    Hi Guys,
    you are my last chance!
    I'm going to update the SAP GUI in all our PCs (about 1500) from rel 6.20 to 7.10 Patch 4. Our PCs are WinXP SP2. This is a requirement due to a system upgrade from 4.6c to ECC6.
    I made some tests and I'm facing this problem:
    in some cases, after the update, I run the GUI, log a userID and the SAP menu is disappeared! (as SAP Menu I mean the tree where you can see also your favorites)
    All the other bars are OK but the SAP menu is missed...
    I tried logging in with many userIDs but the result is the same.
    I'll update the GUI using Tivoli Software Distribution but I'm scared about this problem.
    Has anyone faced a same issue?

    Hello Martin,
    thanks for your information... I checked the file wdttree.ocx and the release is correct (7100.1.4.286). I also checked the file wdtrmenu.ocx and it resulted ok (rel. 7100.1.4.6). I tried to register the files but all was useless...
    On the same PC, if I login into Windows with the local admin account (used for the GUI upgrade), I can see the SAP Menu, if I login into Windows with another admin account, the SAP menu disappears.
    What do you mean when you talk about opening an "official" ticket? Can I open a ticket directly on the SAP's main web site?

  • File menu disappears when I switch applications.

    Hello,
    I recently purchased Illustrator and I have a bizarre problem with the menu bar.
    In Illustrator, whenever I switch to a different application on my PC, e.g. switch to Outlook or Excel which are already running, the file menu disappears!
    As I hover my mouse over where the menu should be, it comes back bit at a time.
    Has anyone encountered this before?
    I’m on a laptop running Win7 in x64.
    Kind regards,
    -Will.

    Update your graphics driver/ check its configuration.

  • Bookmark folder drop down menu disappears

    While using Firefox as of late, I've noticed a few things out of place.
    Firstly, while browsing the web I tend to store a lot of bookmarks; recently while attempting to store new bookmarks in folders on the bookmark toolbar, as I drag the page to be stored as a bookmark the folder's drop down menu disappears. It's still possible to drop the bookmark into the folder, which then in turn makes it fall to the bottom of the list automatically; however, there are organized folders inside of folders so it's rather counterproductive.
    The same thing happens when just clicking on a folder, the menu simply doesn't show up yet the "invisible" bookmarks may be interacted with by clicking on them -albeit randomly. After a few attempts, the menu will eventually appear but not always the first attempt. Quite frustrating.
    Also, the memory used by Firefox seems a bit high; especially when opening various new tabs.
    What should be done about this issue?

    (1) Find (or create) the chrome folder. This is a folder in your currently active Firefox settings folder, also known as your Firefox profile folder.
    Open the your profile folder using: Help > Troubleshooting Information
    Windows: Click the Show Folder button
    Mac: Click the Show in Finder button
    Check for a chrome folder.
    If it exists, double-click it to open it.
    If it does not exist, create a chrome folder, then double-click it to open it.
    (2) Create or Edit a userChrome.css file by adding a bookmark button rule.
    Check for a userChrome.css file in the chrome folder.
    If it exists, open it in a text editor and add the following lines, then save:
    /* Force bookmark drop-down button display even with classic menu bar */
    #bookmarks-menu-button {display:-moz-box !important}
    If it does not exist, right-click the following link > Save Link As, and save into your chrome folder (or save in Downloads and drag to your chrome folder): http://www.jeffersonscher.com/res/userChrome-bookmarksbutton.css.
    Then rename the file to userChrome.css.

  • Start menu disappeared

    Did March 2015 windows update, and among many problems, the start menu disappeared. I did a system restore and the start menu did not come back. How can I restore the start menu?
    Certified Geek

    It is hard to check update history with the menu gone. I can no longer find the settings panel.
    Certified Geek
    Follow this instructions from Insider Hub........
    Start menu
    When you boot Windows 10 Technical Preview, the Start menu may not appear. Checking for updates may fix this problem. To check for updates without the Start menu, do the following:
    Select the Internet Explorer icon.
    Type http://update.microsoft.com into the address bar and select
    Enter.
    If you are prompted to run a control, click
    Yes.
    This should bring up the Check for updates window. Install updates.
    If no update is available, or the available updates don’t fix the issue, restart the device–this should make the Start menu appear. To reboot without using the Start menu:
    Hold down the Windows key and select L to lock the device. Swipe up or select
    Enter to open the sign in screen. Select the
    Power icon on the log in screen to restart the computer.            
    OR
    Hold down the Windows key and select R to bring up a command prompt. In the prompt, type
    shutdown –r to restart.
    Once you are able to get to Windows Update window, you can click Advanced Options > check your update history.
