Menu bar disappears, and dock stops working

I run a simple server using a Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5 with 7GB memory, a 1T raid drive and OS 10.5.8. The last time I changed any hardware, ram etc, was two years ago.
The Mac simply sits there and feeds files to the other Macs in my network, so no one is looking at it. It seems to have an odd crash, which does not affect its ability to serve files.
The menu bar will disappear and the dock and all applications will stop working. The dock will bounce an icon when it's clicked, but the program doesn't launch.
Neither "control-comand-eject" nor "option-comand-escape" work. I have to do a hard shut down.
I've run disk utility and repaired permissions. I've run DiskWarrior (v4.1) and rebuilt the directory etc. I've run Techtools Pro (v4.6.2) and run all diagnostics, including the surface scan (took 15 hours). It still acts the same.
The only other oddity I've found is that photo files will randomly go "bad". They're not going bad during a transfer, as I open each file after transferring to the Mac, and confirming they are okay. Then a day, a week, a month or a year later, I look for an image and find it with coloured strips through it, sometime wiping out the entire image. I have no idea if this is related.
Any ideas what's wrong and how to fix it?

Hello Keith,
Sounds like a RAM problem mostly, or RAM slot problem.
The Memory test can really only be trusted if it finds a problem, not if it doesn't find a problem.

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?

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.

Multiple AirPort Express speakers disappear and/or stop working on iTunes

I have three AirPort Express with iTunes boxes. They are wired to my LAN (using the ethernet port). Not to long ago I noticed that there was an update for them and I updated them to V6.3.
Things seemed to be fine. In the meantime, I just happened to notice that the latest iTunes allows me to multicast to multiple remote speakers. So, I started using this multicast (I assume it's multicast) feature to hook up to a couple of remote speakers. Everthing worked fine and has worked fine for several days.
Then this morning, I noticed that two of the remote speakers didn't show up and the third airport showed up, but had a greyed exclamation point after it and I also noticed that the speakers weren't working on that remote airport. When I unchecked the remote speaker in iTunes, it completely disappeared.
The three airport express boxes seem to be working (they're all solid green), but the remote speakers don't work. I realize that just having a solid green doesn't necesarily mean they're working, but well, that was the extent of my investigation. Anyway....
I brought up the airport admin tool and didn't really know how to reset the airport without changing something so I changed the text in the location field and updated the airport. Once I did this the remote speaker showed up in iTunes, so I reset all of the airports and this seemed to get the remote speakers to showup again. I'm sure a power cycle would work as well, but I was too lazy to walk all over the house and power cycle them.
Does anyone know if this is a known problem or is there something that I've got configured wrong?
Mac mini & Power Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

The three most common problems encountered with mutiple AX's:
Itunes software (need 6.02 or better)
AX firmware (need 6.3)
Firewall (you must ALLOW UDP traffic)
If all these items are met then usually what remains is configuration and/or a range problem. Since it sounds as though it works singularly, range is not the issue. Check the three most common and if they are right you are left with re-configuring the network or possibly (but unlikely based on the post) a bad unit.

Window manager, dock freeze, menu bar disappear

Hello,
Almost once a day since I installed Leopard (one week ago), at some point, I can not anymore swap between my apps. When this happen, Exposé doesn't work, Spaces doesn't work, the dock doesn't answer (when I right click to choose or to kill an app, nothing happen). However, I am able to quit the current application. When I do so, the menu bar disappear and the next application does not answer.
Even Command-Option-Escape does not work, so I can not kill anything and I have no choice but to hold the power button until the computer shuts down and then reboot.
This is kind of annoying. I usually have Thunderbird, Firefox, Sunbird and Adium as openned application when this happen... but they are always open, so I can not say if it is because of them.
When I installed Leopard, I checked the option to install fresh, but keep the old system, and it looks like the installator did not really do a fresh install (I have all my previous applications without having installed them).
I'm in the dark and wonder if I will wait for a patch, install Leopard fresh (really this time), or roll back to Tiger...
Please help!

I find that a permissions mask is causing the windowmanager to freeze hard to believe, frankly. I'm experiencing this freeze-up problem on Tiger 10.4.11. Not Leopard. I have been seeing the following symptoms prior to a freeze:
1. Progressively slower and slower operations due to very high loads: 3.9 to 4.5.
1.5 switching apps starts to take a long time.
2. I have been using Camino frequently. Prior to using Camino I never had any such issues. It might be related, even if I think it is unrelated.
3. When I go to switch apps with Command-Tab, it just fails--- the windowmanager freezes and thusly no more keyboard input is heard. It seems that the system is still running fine, though, even if the windowmanager is totally frozen. How do I know this? I can hear things happen when I plug in an ethernet cable, for example--- immediate disk activity as the box registers with DHCP. I did not have the option to log into the system remotely to truly demonstrate that this is, in fact, the situation.
This most recent freeze, I command-alt-w'd (close all) windows in the Finder, as it was consuming an inordinate amount of CPU time. Activity Monitor had just reported that "Finder was not responding" I watched as Finder proceeded to close a few windows, and then when I command-tabbed through 4 apps it froze.
I must reboot, in order to resolve the issue, as no activity from console will do anything.
It is possible that I have a corrupted plist, but it will take time to identify the exact cause of this freeze up. What is the bug in Leopard to which you refer, and what are the exact permissions in question? Could that bug, or a similar bug have shipped with Safari 3?
To help resolve the permissions bug you speak of, one could run "find" at the command prompt with the appropriate args to find all files of a certain permission bitmask, but you've left me nothing to work with, only vague information. If you know of the bug, please post the URL to the bug listing here. If you cannot do that, please describe the bug in detail.
Any advice would be appreciated.
have a day.yad

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.*

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.

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:
Last login: Wed Dec 3 17:46:05 on console
Macintosh:~ Jonah$ ps -axwwwww | grep -i uiserv

2622 ttys000 0:00.00 grep -i uiserv
Macintosh:~ Jonah$
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.

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

Although you say you have let the battery drain, was it for long enough? Since nothing else that you've tried so far has worked, I suggest that you leave the iPod unplugged for at least four days, preferably a week. That way, if something is stopping the iPod from turning the screen on, then whatever it is will drain the battrey. However, since the screen isn't on, that may take longer than if the screen was on.
Then, after that time, plug the iPod into a power source and leave it alone for at least thirty minutes. Only after thirty minutes will it show any signs of life, but you should leave it until it is fully charged before trying to use it.
If you get to this stage, the fact that the battery has drained will cause the iPod to reset when it springs back to life.
Let us know how you get on.

Menu bar date and time is flashing and spotlight doesn't work

Help! My menu bar date and time in top right corner suddenly started flashing and Spotlight doesn't seem to work. It would normally appear just below the date and time. Is this a known issue? 10.4.7 on a 1 GHz G4 (eMac).
Any ideas - I tried restarting with no difference.

Create a new account, name it "test" and see how your Finder and Spotlight work in that User acct? (That will tell if your problem is systemwide or limited to your User acct.) This account is just for test, do nothing further with it.
Open System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" make it an admin account.
Let us know and we'll troubleshoot this further.

I was in the middle of updating to 7.0.3 and Itunes stopped working. Now my phone is stuck in limbo (apple logo with status bar under) My power button doesnt work (of course) How do I get it back to normal?

I was in the middle of updating to 7.0.3 and Itunes stopped working. Now my phone is stuck in limbo (apple logo with status bar under) My power button doesnt work (of course) How do I get it back to normal?

I have same issue. I click on the home button and Wake/sleep at the same time for 30 seconds or more and then the phone entered in Recovery mode. It is erasing my content now and installing the update. Let´s see how this ends. I have iCloud, iTunes match, and backups from previos versions, hope I can restore all my content.
Otherwise I´ll go to the Genius Bar to do a checkup.
Good luck!
It did not work the first time... The iPhone4 kept in limbo. Then I did disconnect as suggested above and tried again to enter in Recovery mode. This second time it works. And after restoring the iPhone4 with 7.0.3, it asked me if I want to recover from backup. I did recover from my latest back up and now it is syncing the content.

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.

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)

    <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’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.

Mountain Lion Upgrade - Finder crashes, Menu Bar disappears ****

Hi,
I have a mid 2009 MBP running Lion perfectly well, and I mean perfect. No crashes, nada. Upgraded from Snow Leopard.
I have tried twice before to upgrade to ML but both times had to revert to Lion.
Key problem:
"Finder quit unexpectedly" then menu bar disappers and I can't use keyboard anymore (so no terminal killall etc) so have to hard reboot
And Yes, I also tried all the regular suggestions to these issues (seem to be common) such as delete preferences, delete DS_Store, permissions resets etc with no result
So I was perfectly happy developing for iOS on Lion
Then comes iOS7 and XCode 5 will only run on ML so now I'm forced to try upgrading Lion to ML again.
1. 1st time I did it without changing anything. Errors Key problem: "Finder quit unexpectedly" then menu bar disappers and I can't use keyboard anymore (so no terminal killall etc) so have to hard reboot
-> revert to Lion
2. Uninstalled all menu bar extensions, and deleted all login items. Result -> errors
Key problem: "Finder quit unexpectedly" then menu bar disappers and I can't use keyboard anymore (so no terminal killall etc) so have to hard reboot
So I've tried the testing Linc Davis posted here https://discussions.apple.com/message/17642350#17642350 with following results;
Tried Alternate Account:
I set up new account and for a while it worked. I was able to deploy to iPad to running iOS7. Yay. I thought it was ok.
Then I installed java in order to run SmartGit and also Carbon Copy Cloner and bang...same errors start appearing.
Uninstalled them, but no joy, started acting up.
Tried SAFE Mode:
It works! Perfectly. But I can't run in safe mode all the time, as I need some of the features it disables (audio, network as I develop cross platform with Win7)
So I tried Linc's 3rd test with is for kernel extensions etc, with results posted below.
I would really appreciate any guidance as to how I can get this working. It is extremely frustrating and time wasting, and I have no faith in OSX ML as a stable platform for development. I don't want to buy another machine, not just the expense, but also from trawling the threads people with current and new machines are also reporting similar problems to me with no resolution that I can see. Whatver ever happened to "Graceful Degradation" not "System crashes with no help whatsover"!!
Anyways, frustrated rant over, here's my results. I'm going to try again, but any help on optimising my Lion install before I do would be VERY welcome!
ty in advan
(Note: These results are from my newly reverted Lion clone, and I have not removed any menu bar apps or login items as yet.These have been run on my prefectly working Lion install)
Step 1
Copy or drag -- do not type -- the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
com.Cycling74.driver.Soundflower (1.6.6)
tc.tctechnologies.driver.TCNear (4.1.3
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.)
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(x|postfix|ntp|cups)/{print $3}'
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
