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

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?

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.....

Why does Spry horizontal menu bar displays as a list?

I createda spry hoizontal menu bar which looks great on my workspace but when I preview it in a browser, it displays as an unordered list.Does anyone have an explanation for what has happened and how to correct it?

It sounds like the path to the support files - SpryMenuBar.js and/or SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css - is not correct.

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.

Spry Menu Bar display problem on the MAC

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.

Spry Menu Bar- Display content below menu

After playing around a bit in DW as I am still very new to it I have gotten a menu bar setup with the appropriate links. I have been using frames with the top frame that displays the menu bar and the bottom frame to show the content. This works but since each tab drops down 4-5 items i need to make the top frame longer so all items display but leaves a lot of white space when it is just the menu bar showing by itself.
What other method is there that I can use that will display the menu bar AND display the contents below it? Im sure this wont be possible using frames so is there an easy way to do so in dreamweaver?

Its intended to be run locally so I dont have a link but here is the html for my index file. As you can see I have set the top row at 200 so it will display all the items in the menu bar when a user hovers over one of the bars. What I am trying to do is eliminate the white space by setting the top frame to around 60 but doing so you wont be able to see the drop down items. Make sense?
<html>
<title> Testing </title>
<frameset rows="200,*">
<frame src = "menu.html"
<frame src = "Homepage.html"
name="showframe">
</frameset>
</html>

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?

Adding sub-menus wrecks main menu bar display

I have just learned to create a Spry horizontal pull-down menu. I have dark gradient images for both the 'up' and 'down' states, and I've set my text attributes and everything works fine.
(I'm new, but trying hard.)
HOWEVER - I have 2 problems:
as soon as I add in sub-menus to a menu item, the gradient images fail to show on the main menu for that menu item only. I just get a white block, out of which you obviously can no longer read the white text. The gradients and other attributes immediately apply beautifully to the sub-menu items (even though I haven't even applied any attributes to them yet!), but they are lost from the main menu bar wherever I apply sub-menus.
ALSO - although the 'up' state gradient image works fine behind the menu item, the downstate does not show when I hover my mouse over it. I've checked that the 'up' and 'down' files are not identical, and I've ensured that they are both applied in the CSS.
When I remove the sub-menus - works fine. Add 'em back in, problem recurs. Applies to whichever menu item I apply the submenus to.
I have downloaded the latest version of Spry (no idea which version I already had) but can't see where to install it or how to run setup. Why are things never easy...?
I am using Dreameaver CS4 v10 and Chrome browser. Same thing happens in Firefox, IE and Safari - no difference.
Please forgive my newness. I have had a look at other similar forum posts but although people seemed to have linked issues, they were not the same.
Anyone any ideas? I am getting desperate. Been trying to fix it by myself all day.
Thanks
Nicola

Sound control in menu bar - display all devices?

Hi all,
I often option-click the sound icon in my menu bar to toggle between airplay devices and my internal (MBP 2011) speakers. I'm getting really annoyed that the full list of them won't come up, only the most recently used one.
I've searched a lot of forums and can't seem to find anyone that's been able to get all their possible airplay devices to show up in the output section this way. I know I can click on sound preferences and change it that way, but I'd love for the command to be a little simpler. Anyone know how to do that?
Thanks!

Soundsource from Rogue Amoeba is a neat little tool. I don't think its officially supported, but you shouldbe able to find it out on the interwebs somewhere. It was a freebie from them.

Spry menu bar display in compatability view IE

The spry horizontal menu bar on http://ww.ituna.ca works well except that if a person has their IE browser set for compatibility view the javascript is turned off and the drop downmenu does not work. Someone who is not savy to this setting will find that the menu bar does not work - Is there a way to avoid this - works fine in chrome and firefox.
Pat

Ok. Now I understand what you are getting at. In IE8 there is a compatibility button that reverts the browser to IE7 standards. This has nothing to do with JavaScript.
Testing the page in IE7, I do see the problem. There are a couple of errors in the markup.
On or about line 385 the line reads
autoHeight: "false",
Being the last property in the constructor, there should be no comma at the end, thus the line should read
autoHeight: "false"
The second problem is caused by the placement of the link to SpryMenuBar.js. Simply move this link to the top of the links as per
<script src="SpryAssets/SpryMenuBar.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="Spry-UI-1.7/includes/SpryDOMUtils.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="Spry-UI-1.7/includes/SpryDOMEffects.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="Spry-UI-1.7/includes/SpryWidget.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="Spry-UI-1.7/includes/SpryPanelSet.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="Spry-UI-1.7/includes/SpryPanelSelector.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="Spry-UI-1.7/includes/SpryFadingPanels.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="Spry-UI-1.7/includes/SpryTabbedPanels2.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="Spry-UI-1.7/includes/plugins/TabbedPanels2/SpryFadingPanelsPlugin.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="Spry-UI-1.7/includes/plugins/TabbedPanels2/SpryTabbedPanelsKeyNavigationPlugin.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="jquery-ui-1.7.2/js/jquery-1.3.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="jquery-ui-1.7.2/js/jquery-ui-1.7.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Lastly, to get rid of the comapibility button place the following line just under the opening <head> tag
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1">

Menu Bar Display Glitch (longstanding)

Anyone any idea as to the cause of this annoying repeating pattern (8 Sets, which rearrange in lower screen resolutions) over the menu bar?
It is more obvious at lower screen resolutions and is either yellow or blue depending on colour of surrounding screen. Interestingly colour from pattern 'bleeds' onto edge of any adjacent window & can be 'smudged'. Once picked up it can be moved around with window and it disappears if window is deselected then reselected. Not a problem in normal use but is really obvious in 10.7 dashboard or when full screen mode is selected (annoying when viewing full screen in Aperture or iPlayer etc).
I initially wondered if it was a Hardware problem & ran Apple Hardware test (extended) which reported no problem. Interestingly the pattern was also present on the hardware test background screen but was more regular & looked more like a spreadsheet row & column arrangement across the top of the screen.
Anyone any ideas, or do I use some black insulating tape across the top of my screen when watching Mongrels?

Doublechecking before proceeding. Is the menu bar area looking a bit like the following screenshot?
