Menu bar display icon disappears after resize

My menubar display icon goes away after resize and the checkbox for it in system preferences unchecks itself. Has anyone else experienced this bug? Closing system preferences between resizes doesn't fix. Restarting machine doesn't fix. (Of course with my new macbook pro retina, I'm constantly resizing the display between resolutions that make my jaw drop to resolutions that I can read text on, so I need it in the menu bar.)

Thanks for the link. Looks like it was a program I didn't even remember I installed, WiFind, which was causing the problem. I got rid of it and it looks like the menu bar icons are working again. Strange thing was when I tried to search for WiFind neither Spotlight nor the Find function in the finder could locate it. But there it was, right in the the Library/InputManagers folder. It's happened to me before I and don't know why. Anyway...
I hope I don't have any more problems with this update but I've been burned by Leopard so many times I'm not counting on it! I'll try and stay positive.

Menu bar and Dock disappear after exiting Time Machine

Time Machine has worked absolutely fine for almost a week. A few hours ago I clicked the icon on my dock to see how many incremental backups it had made today, and everything seemed fine. However, when I click cancel now and the desktop comes back, the dock completely disappears. The menu bar is about halfway to being functional: The shadow appears, but it does not lighten my desktop picture behind it anymore. All the menus are gone, except for those for Bluetooth, AirPort, the clock, etc. I can still open Finder windows by double-clicking the folders on my desktop, but most -- if not all -- keyboard shortcuts are rendered inoperable. They mostly just produce the default error sound, and control-F2 simply highlights a very small invisible box in the top-left corner of the screen. I can also no longer open any applications, and any applications I already had open I can't select.
The only way out was to force a shutdown, but if I try to use Time Machine in the Finder this problem keeps recurring. (It works perfectly in iPhoto.) Also, now if I try to back up Time Machine hangs while "Preparing". I have spent the last hour trying whatever I could think of and also wailing like a child. Please help!

Just a thought....this is not a problem with my MacBook on which I installed a new version of 10.5.
The problem only manifests itself on my iMac at work which I updated using a Drop-in Leopard DVD.
Do you think this could be the problem? Anyone out there having problems that did a retail 10.5 install?
I just re-installed Leopard from the drop-in DVD and first time I opened Mail and went to Time Machine it seemed to be working....it gave me the starry background and asked me to select items to restore to the Inbox. But then it failed to restore the selected messages and I'm back to where I started with a non-working Time Machine in Mail.

i tried logging out, and restarting my computer. still not there.
Try this:
mv ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SystemUIServer.plist ~/Desktop;killall SystemUIServer
If that doesn't work right away, logging out and in should make it take effect.
If not, create a new user account and see if the problem happens there as well.
Good luck!

After upgrading to OS 10.10 some fonts appear blurry. Specifically top menu bar, desktop icons, mail

After upgrading to OS 10.10, some fonts appear blurry. Specifically top menu bar, desktop icons, mail and Safari. This only occurs after the computer has been running for awhile, not immediately after startup. I'm running an iMac, 20 inch, Mid-2007 with the following graphics: ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT 128 MB.
It's not a huge problem, just darn annoying. Thoughts anyone?

Hi,
Please note that this upgrade related problem would very likely be what has been covered by the support document at the link below:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2537
If you also find any files named to include MessageSorting (which would mean you once have upgraded from a version of OSX earlier than 10.4, which is clearly the case for you), remove those, also, but never restore those.
Often this is all that needs to be done, but you might then need to force an overall reindexing via the removal of the Envelope Index. Note the special instructions when forcing the reindexing of IMAP or Exchange accounts in the following:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/3.0/en/14019.html
This will force the reindexing of all the POP mailboxes and all On My Mac mailboxes. With regard to any IMAP accounts if you have any, the practical result of this action of removing the account folder, is that with the IMAP account still set up in the Preferences, Mail will connect to the IMAP server and create a new account folder, and while doing so will index the messages in the mailbox folders of the IMAP accounts on the server.
Keep me posted.

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.

Here comes the/my solution:
Remove Sophos Antivirus
Thanks to boojum's remarks in https://discussions.apple.com/message/15480849#15480849 !
Don't forget to use Sophos' deinstall package: /Macintosh HD/Library/Sophos Anti-Virus/Remove Sophos Anti-Virus.pkg
Nevertheless, some settings have been re-initialized (no complete list!):
- Dock
- Language has been reset to English only
- Expose & Spaces
(- probably all personal settings?)

Itunes launches but only menu bar displays

we have an iMac with osx leopard and several user accounts. When we launch iTunes, the menu bar displays, but no user interface window (library, store, etc.) displays. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it doesn't fix the problem.
On some of the user accounts iTunes does launch and the window/user interface displays properly.
Any ideas what to try?
thanks,
Mike

I just figured out the problem. I kept pushing F3 and the window would come up, but I could not make it active. I then noticed the app was really minimized below the tool bar. I grabbed the app window and pulled it up - problem solved.

I have exactly the same problem on a 4S on iOS 8. Have tried uninstalling, deleting FMF from backup, resetting phone and restoring from backup, but the problem remains. Sometimes the icon appears on a backup Home screen in iTunes, but it never appears on the phone itself. The app is accessible by going to the store, purchases and opening it from there. The app appears to have been running the whole time, but becomes invisible anytime I return to the home screen.

Check to see if you have an old phone number associated with this person in your address book. When you call someone on Facetime it calls ALL numbers/emails associated with that persons contact sheet! This was my problem, this stranger has my husband's old phone number!

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.

Mac OS
              Ctrl + L activates Full Screen.
              Command + L activates Full Screen.
