Menu bar display problems

I'm not exactly sure when this happened, but I have noticed that on the top menu bar on my Mac (MacBook Pro, Early 2011 running 10.9.1) has started displaying incorrectly. Here's what it looks like
I have tried verifying/repairing permissions, looking through the community forums to try and find people with similar problems and, so far, haven't come across any.
Any ideas?

Spry Menu Bar display problem on the MAC

Hello!
I'm having issues with spry menu bar not displaying properly
on the mac browser.
i474.photobucket.com/albums/rr104/nastasia_20/DSC02618.jpg
it should look like this
s3.amazonaws.com/sitevista/c356ba1e-7f66-4cec-9b41-bc90b86455ee1773886_IE7.png
You can find the page here : www.
siia-design.com/eco_totes/modern_mums.html
Any ideas what is wrong?
Thank you

Not an issue any more. I re-loaded the site w/o the menu bar
after I made the original post (as you saw) because of the
incompatibility issue I was having between Spry and IE6 & 7.
Before that, I first updated Spry, re-loaded the page with Spry
menu and still had the same IE 6 & 7 issue. Frankly, I simply
gave up on Spry, due to time constraints in getting a new site
layout operational (today was my deadline). From what I've read on
these and and other forums, Spry does not play well with IE,
especially IE7. Unfortunately for me, I don't use IE at all, so
rely on Dreamweaver's compatibility check to tell me if all is
well. Why Spry works so well on Safari, Firefox and Netscape, and
not on IE, is beyond me. Thanks, anyway for your comment. Much
appreciated.

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.

Change Menu Bar Display Size in PE4?

Can the Menu Bar display size and Shortcut Bar Display Size be changed to a larger type for ease of viewing purposes in PE4? If so, how?

Thanks Barbara for your reply. I suspected there might not be a way to change this. Your kind reply confirming this is greatly appreciated. Please continue the good work!

Spry Menu Bar Positioning Problem in IE

I have a Dreamweaver-created Spry Menu Bar drop down menu which works perfectly in every browser on my Mac and on my PC . . . EXCEPT Internet Explorer (who woulda thunk it?!!)
In all browsers except for IE, the 3 submenu items under "Door Systems" and "Gallery" appear exactly as they should in a vertical row, positioned just below the brown line below the navigation links and all the same width. But in IE they appear higher up and with different widths. IE is ignoring the rules for width and position.
<ul id="MenuBar2" class="MenuBarHorizontal">
    <li><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu" href="closet_doors_gallery.html">DOOR SYSTEMS</a>
      <ul>
        <li><a href="sliding_doors_nyc_nj.html">DOOR PROFILES</a></li>
        <li><a href="bifold_doors_nyc_nj.html">PANELS COLORS</a></li>
        <li><a href="room_dividers_nyc_nj.html">DOOR SYSTEM TYPES</a></li>
      </ul>
    </li>
</ul>
<ul id="MenuBar3" class="MenuBarHorizontal">
    <li><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu" href="#">GALLERY </a>
      <ul>
        <li><a href="#">SLIDING DOORS</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">BI-FOLD DOORS</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">ROOM DIVIDERS</a></li>
      </ul>
    </li>
</ul>
Here is the page where you can see the problem if you view it with IE, and see that it's fine in Safari, and Firefox,    Chrome and Opera, Mac or PC:

I have a feeling it's a simple fix of the css, but I can't figure it out - I would really appreciate anyone's help with it - thank you!

Hi and thank you very much. It was a little confusing as to whether you meant to add the rules you suggested or to replace them, or a combination of both, but I puzzled it out. I created a new MenuBarHorizontal.css file in a blank page and then made the changes you suggested and it works! Yay! I had to do a bit of tweaking to get it to look just the way I wanted, but it now works correctly in ie 7 and 8 and still works fine in everything else.
Interestingly enough, I had to change the margin-top: 63px; rule in "ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul.MenuBarSubmenuVisible" to 40px to get it positioned properly vertically, and I had to get rid of the "border-bottom: solid 1px #EEE;" in "ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul li", which caused the submenu items to have quite a lot of vertical space between them - I'm not sure why!
I also had to get rid of all the syling rules in the "SUBMENU INDICATION: styles if there is a submenu under a given menu item" section, as well as the one you added: "ul.MenuBarHorizontal a.MenuBarItemSubmenu {
    padding: 0.5em 2em 0.5em 0.75em;"
With that done, it works great in both ie7 and ie8, so thank you for the help. Below is the new css that works, in total.
Not being as familiar with the subtleties of CSS as you and many others obviously are, I'm REALLY curious as to exactly what is different that causes this to work now, and would be happy to hear your expanation, if you feel like taking the time to explain. If not, no problem - it works and that is the most important thing! So, thank you again -
Perry

Spry Menu Bar transparency problem - one solution

Like many other people I have spent several frustrating days trying to solve the problem of Spry Menu Bar sub-menus appearing to be transparent (text, etc. underneath the sub-menus shows above/through the sub-menu items). This problem manifested itself in IE7, but not in Netscape, Safari or Firefox.
I thought it must be the dreaded IE z-index problem.
I have been through most other people's questions and replies on the Adobe forums, tried all kinds of z-index changes and various other mods to my own CSS and/or the Spry CSS's - all to no avail.
My situation:
I have a Spry Menu Bar above a clicktrail and a text block. Both the clicktrail and the text block showed through the sub-menu items, which drop-down over them.
All three items are located in relative-positioned divs, necessary because the whole page design is contained in a self-centralizing container div and absolute-positioned divs screw up the whole page layout when the screen size or browser window size changes.
(Sorry, I can't upload the files to a website at the moment.)
The solution that works for me in Dreamweaver CS4:
I selected the divs for the clicktrail and the text block, one at a time, and selected Modify > Arrange > Send to Back in Dreamweaver CS4.
I then selected these two items again and selected Modify > Arrange > Bring to Front.
Finally I selected the div containing the Spry Menu Bar and selected Modify > Arrange > Bring to Front. The thought behind this was that this would put the Spry Menu Bar on top of everything else - and it works!
This solution works in all four browsers, but don't ask me how! I can't see any change in any CSS, nor in my template code. All I can see is a strange, flashing vertical line (like an enormous cursor - about 10 cm [3"] high) in the middle of the template page only (and only in Dreamweaver) if I click on the page background. I can neither find an explanation for this nor anything in the coding which might cause it. By the way; the z-index for the menu div =2, the z-index for the clicktrail div is not defined and the z-index for the div for the text block is set to auto. I haven't tried other values and to be honest I'm not sure what they were set to before I applied the above 'solution'.
But hey - who the hell cares - my site works!
I hope this helps someone else out of an absolute hell-hole...if someone out there can explain where to find the code that had been changed or added by doing this I'd like to know. I don't like things I can't explain - even if they do work!

This is where the browser is told to supply a white background
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a
     display: block;
     cursor: pointer;
     background-color: #fff;
     padding: 0.5em 0.75em;
     color: #333;
     text-decoration: none;
Vhange the value to transparent.
Also the last line int the CSS should be removed as in
filter: "alpha(opacity=60)";

Horizontal menu bar displays grey in IE - Please Help

These are my first websites and i have created it in DW CS4. Everything is working and i have checked in multiply browsers. The one issue i can't work out is that when viewed in IE the horizontal menu bar looks grayed out. The main menu should be transparent with a white border, while submenus have a .gif image gradient background also with a white border.
Please help, I would be very grateful and if you would ever find yourself in the Maldives i'm sure we could repay the favour.....

Photoshop Elements 8 - Menu bar Display

Hello,
I'm on Elements 8 and the menu bar at the top (File, Edit, Find, etc)is now a dropdown menu. Is there a way to have it display horizontally like it previously did?
Thank you.

please change your text size to 100 % or less. pse shows problem when the text size is greater than 100 % .

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.

What plist holds preference for energy saver menu bar display?

I have a Powermac and Powerbook. Using Leopard Sync of Preferences, the option to display energy saver status in the menubar has migrated from my laptop to my desktop - so now I get a blank entry in the menu bar icons where the battery status symbol appears on the laptop - you can click on it and it shows a greyed out menu (saying "No batteries available").
Because I have "no batteries available" on the Powermac, the energy saver preference pane is missing the option to 'turn on / off' display of battery status does not get shown. So I can't turn this preference off on the Powermac, and am stuck with this gap in the menu bar icons.
Presumably the display on menu bar is displayed as the result of a plist setting somewhere - but there is no obvious 'energy saver' preference: does anyone know where this setting is controlled, and if it is possible to manually correct the problem?
Many thanks

Do you know that holding the command key and clicking on a menu bar icon allows you to drag it left/right, or down from the menu to remove it? Removing it would probably sync the change back to your portable, which isn't desirable, but you could try dragging it all the way to the left so the empty space isn't as obvious on your desktop.

CVI 2009 menu bar resize problem

In CVI 2009, if you have the 'scale contents on resize' attribute set for a panel with a menu bar on it, the menu bar font resizes with the panel.
Unfortunately, there is a rather severe bug in this. If you do the following repeatedly:
(a) Load a panel with 'scale contents on resize' set and a menu bar
(b) Enlarge it
(c) Display it
(d) Hide it
(e) Discard it
then the menu bar font gets progressively bigger and bigger each time the panel is displayed. Below is an example from the test project attached to this posting (four successive display iterations). To say this is inconvenient is understating the truth: It actually breaks many of my applications. Is there any way to stop this behaviour?

Hello Martin -
I'm very sorry for the inconvenience this bug has caused. Another workaround that may be a little simpler would be to update the font of the menubar with a newly created metafont immediately before showing the panel (and after resizing). This also has the added benefit of the menu retaining it's original size instead of being scaled. You could accomplish this with code similar to the following:
int hNewPanel, hMenuBar;
hNewPanel = LoadPanel (0, "TestMenu.uir", MENUPANEL);
hMenuBar = GetPanelMenuBar (hNewPanel);
SetPanelSize (hNewPanel, 600, 800);
CreateMetaFontEx ("NewMenuMetaFont", "NIMenuMetaFont", 13, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);
SetMenuBarAttribute (hMenuBar, 0, ATTR_MENU_BAR_FONT, "NewMenuMetaFont");
I also just wanted to add why the behavior of scaling menus with "Scale Contents On Resize" changed in LabWindows/CVI 2009. The problem was that when using scale contents on resize, all fonts are supposed to scale proportionately to the scaling of the panel. However, menu fonts did not scale, and this led to the problems seen in this forum. Because of the inconsistenty and to fix the bug reported on that forum, bug report 134165 was created and then fixed in LabWindows/CVI 2009.
Once again, I'm sorry for the inconvenience this has caused,

Menu bar display

When I tick the box in Date and Time in Finder to display time in menu bar, nothing happens in menu bar. And when I try the same in sound to show volume control, it won't let me tick the display box. What is happening?

Omanto, Sandy
You probably have 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

Horizontal Menu Bar Placement Problem in IE

I am having problem determining which CSS rule is causing a
horizontal menu bar to show correctly in the Dreamweaver Design
view, correctly in Firefox, but incorrectly in IE7. I have a
background image in the header, but the menu bar cover it up on the
left side in IE7. Any thoughts?
And while we are at it, any reason that the button hover
color touches the header logo in Firefox (as desired) but is
dropped down several pixels in IE?
I have attached a link to the site for viewing. I have also
attached the CSS code that the menu is using.

Thanks for any help or ideas!

Anyone who increases their browser's text size will see the same thing. For wiggle room, reduce top-level links from 11 to no more than 7.

Spry Menu Bar (horizontal) - Problems with uneveness (height variance) between adjacent items

Hello:
Like many I will confess that I am new to the spry experience and attempting to catch up. I am trying to design a horizontal menu bar that employs a background image (repeating GIF gradient bar repeated along the the x-access) to create a beveled/rounded edge effect. I have another with a different hue that is used on focus and mouse over, etc. While this works well with the drop downs, there appears to be a "boxiness" between adjacent top level menu items and they appear to have slightly different height. This seems to be determined by the text forms the content of any link or menu item. In effect it creates other differences in appearance as the outer most (top and bottom edges) of the GIF appear to be cut off from one menu item to the next. This leaves a very undesirable look to the page as it juts up and then falls back as it the top level item moves across the web page.
The other point I should make is that this problem, although it exists in all browsers to some extent, is most pronounced in IE6 and below. Unfortunately many of the anticipated visitors to this site are forced by their IT department to use IE6.
My question is: can you set a variable that overrides or determines the height of the background of the menu items? Alternatively is there some other way of addressing the problem so that I can get a uniform look as the menu items transition to each other.
Thanks in advance for any help that can be offered.
Steve.
