Menu bar, finder and aperture not displaying correctly. Reinstall doesn't help, can't upgrade to 10.8

Hi. Immensely frustrated. A few weeks ago, I don't know what happened, I started experiencing all sorts of problems. These are:
The upper right side menu bar doesn't display all the icons, they're there but invisible
Aperture isn't displaying images, instead I get weird digital patterns (see screen capture)
Finder window lost its icons too. Again, they work, but are invisible.
frequent crashes
can't upgrade to mountain lion, I get an error that the file was corrupted during dowload (have tried several times)
Command-R doesn't work
Reinstall from startup disk didn't change anything
I'm running 10.7 on an iMac 27
What can I do?

No, I wish that was the issue. I've attached another screenshot for further clarity.

Oops - spry menu bar 2.0 does not display correctly when loaded

Oops - obviously I'm new at this. I think I got my graphics loaded now.
Dear Sirs:
I notice bzz31 had a pretty complicated post, so perhaps someone can help me with my complicated problem that has been vexing me for months. I tried the Spry Menu Bar 1.0, but it was impossible for me to edit, and I was delighted to see Spry Menu Bar 2.0 come out. However the 2.0 version has been frustrating me as well.
I can get my menu bar to display properly in Live View, as shown below.
However when I load everything onto the server, the menu bar does not display correctly, as shown below:
I don't quite understand the code "file:///" but I interpret it to mean that the Spry-UI-1.7 folder is in the topmost folder of MacPro5-Docs, which is my hard drive. Here's the code I'm having trouble with:
Here's my computer directory, shown below:
Since my index file is two folders down from Spry-UI-1.7, I loaded the files onto the server similarly, as shown in the next three pictures:
(The picture below is the same as the one just above, but now you can see the path from index to Spry-UI-1.7.)
I would be most appreciative if someone can help me.
Thank you.

Have a look at the following links

Each of the above points to a file on your local system and cannot be found by the remote server.
Replace the red coloured parts with http://www.twhsbands.org/ will remedy the situation.
You also have some remnants of the other SpryMenuBar that should be removed from your markup.
Gramps
Wel, so much for the red coloured parts, they did not show up.
The red coloured parts read file:///MacProG5-Docs/

PDF's in Mail and Preview not displaying correctly

Ever since upgrading to Yosemite PDF's are not displaying correctly. Every time i generate a PDF of a sales quote it seems to lose a lot of information.
But the strange thing is.....
Preview and Mail both show PDF with missing text.
When I open using "Quick Look Attachment" within Mail or Adobe Acrobat it looks perfect.
When emailed, recipients (mostly Windows users) seem to have no problem opening it and seeing all text.
So far seen that issue is only in Preview and Mail
Only has happened since upgrading to Yosemite
PDF is created using web based ZOHO CRM to build quotes.
See image below to see the difference in what Mail and Preview sees compared with how other apps open the same PDF.
NOTE: sensitive info has been purposely blurred on image.

Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

Mozilla crashed yesterday and now bookmarks are not showing along the left side of page as they did before. They are on the menu bar but hubby does not like this location. Anyway I can get it back to the left side of the page?

This spring we changed from IE to Mozilla after upgrading to Win 7. Everything has been fine with Firefox until yesterday when it crashed when I attempted to open an email. Since then the bookmarks (or favorites as my husband calls them) have not been in their usual place which was along the left side of the page. They are located in the Bookmarks bar at the top of the page but husband prefers the old IE way which we had until yesterday PM. Is there any way that we can get them back to the left side of the page other than going back to IE? Now that I have gotten used to Firefox I like it just fine.

*You can open the Bookmarks in the sidebar via View > Sidebar > Bookmarks (Ctrl+B)
*You can open the History in the sidebar via View > Sidebar > History (Ctrl+H)
Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
You can find toolbar buttons to open the bookmarks (star) and the history (clock) in the sidebar in the toolbar palette and drag them on a toolbar.<br />
Firefox 4 versions and later have two bookmark buttons with a star in the Customize window.<br />
One star button has a drop marker that open a Bookmark menu.<br />
The other star button without the drop marker opens the bookmarks in the sidebar.<br />

Mail with image and PDF not displaying correctly on Outlook

Environment and problem
OS X Mountain Lion, Mail 6.1 (everything up to date)
Emails with mixed image and PDF attachments send from my MacBoox Pro are not being displayed correctly when received on Outlook. It is not an Outlook problem.
Multiple inline images - ok
I compose an email, rich text format, insert severnal inline images, send to colleage on Windows 7 using Outlook, all received ok. He sees the message with inline images.
Multiple inline images and PDF - not ok
I compose a similar email with multiple inline images, but attach a PDF. This time all of the attachments (images and PDF) appear at the end of the message when viewed in Outlook.
Gmail browser comparison
I repeat the above from a Gmail account via Safari and I can make an email with inline images and PDF attachments and it works.
Any thoughts, tips, bug reports, etc appreciated.
Jon

No - can't be an Apple fan and then critisise MS for being proprietry
My problem was solved by installing Attachment Tamer.
It could also have been solved by emailing from Gmail directly.
The guys I work with use Outlook and were suprised to see this behaviour.
It's only basic OS X email that has a problem.
I wholeheartedly agree that the standard for emails are not conducive for rich layout control.
But - when my email just has images I had no problems. Take for example the email notifications we're getting from this thread - there are images and layout etc and work fine.
The key feature from Attachment Tamer hints at the problem (and its solution):
send images embedded in HTML layout and safely mix embedded images with other attachments;

New programs not working and websites not displaying correctly

I need a little assistance. My older G5 is running Mac OS X (10.3.x), Mac OS X 10.3.9 (7W98) - I don't have the funds to upgrade right now - and during an update to iTunes awhile back the power was accidently cut and then my mess began. ITunes would no longer open,
I am good with PCs and can pretty much resolve anything on them, but have been absolutely stumped with this. I searched all kinds of troubleshooting and eventually decided to just erase and reinstall Panther hoping that would resolve the issue, iTunes works now, but Safari is not displaying web pages correctly (for instance Facebook is just a stack of words but other sites may look okay), and now any new program I download will not open after I install it like Firefox.
Any ideas as to how I can resolve this mess?

You can try do download Onyx, it is a good free Software that will repair many issues that you can have with your Mac. You are running the very last 10.3.x I suppose.

PSE 7 Menu bar in Organizer will not display properly

I''m going through an instructional video on PSE 7. The video shows the menu bar in the organizer just to the right of the little house. My Organizer shows two > symbols in the middle of the area, with a drop down list of menu items. I'm not sure what's going on, but it seems that the menu bar might be locked or something like that. I have searched help for "menu bar" but found nothing on how to get the bar back. Can someone point me in the right direction to get the menu bar back?
As an asside............. Is there no help in the program itself? When I press F1 or click on help in the menu, I get directed to the Adobe web site. Does this mean that if you're not connected to the internet (using a laptop without wifi access etc) that you have no access to help files?
Thanks for your assistance.

Thanks very much for your quick answer. I decided to just use the system font. If issues appear during editing, at least I'll know how to turn it off. I didn't want to lower the dpi. I had it set higher for a reason............ poor eyesight...
I've bookmarked that faq site. It looks like there's a lot of good information there.
Thanks again.

Documents and spreadsheets not displaying correctly on the task bar

When I open a series of documents or excel spreadsheets, quite often they will appear as blanks on the task bar and I have to right click - restore to be able to see a preview or select them for editing. If I do normal left click on the document nothing
happens and they stay blank.
If I could get a picture of my desktop loaded it would show the cursor on MS word on the taskbar then above the taskbar a preview of the 4 sessions - 2 have documents you can see and 2 are blank. THe first 2 I had to right click restore to be able to see.
THe other 2 will be blank until I right click then restore

KVM and UltraDock not displaying correct resolution

Hi All,
I have a 2 computer settup at my work station by using KVM setup to be used on one Screen, keybord and monse.
My desktop is connecte to the KVM along with my work Lenovo W540 (through UltraDock) to same monitor. Both comptuers are running Windows 7. Dektop is Home Premium version wile Laptiop is Enterprise.
The issus I have are following. When I am running my Desktop i have no issues with the resolution, however when I switch to my Laptop my resolution goes down to 1280x1024 even though the Montior can handle as much as 1920x1080. But if I plug in my KVM directly to the Laptop (bypasing UltraDock). I get maximum resolution that screen can handle, however i get flicker lines across the screen. But If i plug in my monitor directly to the Laptop (No KV) I don't have any issue. The screen resolution works fine. I alos dont have probmes when I plug in screen in to UltraDock directly as well.
I have tired everyting to get this issue resolved by I cant seem to find correct answer anywere. I tryed updting fimware from here http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/ht081248, and that id not work. So I am out of options.
Could someone plase help me with this issue.
P.S. i have Intel HD Graphics 4600 as my grphics card.

Same "fuzzy" picture on external LCD attached to MacBook Pro here (2GHz, 2GB RAM, 10.4.11). Been using a mediocre NEC LCD72vx for along time and figured that was the reason, but I tried a stellar ViewSonic VG191b that I use with my Windows desktop for layout and found the same slightly fuzzy picture, despite also noting that the resolution setting was the native one. Note, I use the external display rotated 90, but I saw no change at 0 rotation. Straight DVI on both.
Half of the fun of having DVI out is its usefulness for layout in publishing. Powerful MBP, poor external display quality. I think some sort of fix is indicated here.

Emails and RSS not displaying correctly

I have had this issue for a while, it's not a big issue but is very annoying.
When I receive an email or open an RSS feed story that has a banner or some kind of graphic embedded into it, it won't display the images.

Is there something wrong with my settings in Mail? or is it something to do with the way these messages are sent out.

I just wanted to send an update to let everyone know I was able to get my issue fixed (after about an hour with the chat support) and one nof the steps was obvious while the other was not. Sticky Footer was enabled so when the browser window was enlarged vertically, it introduced the white space. Removing the checkmark from that box fixed that issue. Regarding the header giving white space, the tech support person took control of my computer because they weren't have the same issue when I sent them my file which was very odd. They did some fiddling about with the header and grouping of elements in the header and were finally able to get the white bar to disappear when viewed in Preview and on a web browser. They couldn't give me a specific reason why it did that or why what they did fixed it. So, sadly not a lot to go on for how to fix the problem other than 'fiddle around with it till it works,' which is frustrating at best.
Thanks again for your willingness to help me out. I hope your issue gets fixed Barbara. If you haven't already, you should chat support on your issue.

Gmail usernames and passwords not displaying correctly - is the issue with Firefox?

I have 3 email accts and when I click username in Gmail those 3 would show and passwords would be remembered automatically. Now it shows these 3 and 2 others that have been used before, plus NO passwords displayed. In the past if this happened I refreshed page and it went back to the 3 accts - this is no longer happening. Could it be a firefox issue?
Also my autofill in Gmail is no longer working and I have seen other inquiries about that. Is there any info on how to fix these???

This is a known issue in Firefox 4 beta 12. You could wait til' the RC comes out, or you could grab one of the latest nightly builds availible here that fix this problem: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-central/
Just a note though, nightly versions of firefox are generally less stable than betas or releases. I am waiting for the Release Candidate to come out myself. (Should be early next week)

Upgrading APEX from 3.2 to 4.0 images and buttons not displaying correctly

Database 11.2.0.1
APEX: 3.2.1
Attemping to upgrade APEX from 3.2 to 4.0. The installation script runs fine and updates the database successfully. I run the .sql to import the images and it ran successfully however when I attempt to access the APEX home page, the images are not loaded and the buttons don't do anything. I did some research through google but did not come to anything that resolved my issue. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for your time...

If you are using mod_plsql, you need to run @apxldimg.sql script with SYS user file present with Apex installation. Also provide the location of your apex folder as parameter to this script.

Wordpress sites are not displaying correctly on my mac after mountain lion upgrade (on all browsers - chrome, safari, firefox)

I am having trouble viewing anything that is on wordpress, including the wordpress site. This means I cannot view my own wordpress blog too properly - no images are viewable, only plain text and hyperlinked text. This happened immediately after I upgraded to Mountain Lion. My Mac is mid-2010. Everything else works fine. Thanks.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Color gradients not displaying correctly

I'm having an issue with my color gradients in type and objects not displaying correctly in the content viewer. For the last app I created, I made sure the colors were RGB and that seemed to fix it. With the current app I'm working on, that dosen't seem to fix the issue. Actually, when I test in the viewer on my iPad, it shows the correct gradient in the split second that it's loading the update but then once it's loaded, it goes to a gray white gradient (the correct gradient is from a yellow to a gray; attached a pict for referrence).
Anyone know why this is happening? Thanks in advance!
UPDATE: It seems to view fine if I preview the page via the foilo overlay but when I preview the folio, that's when it's no viewing correctly.

The Color Picker is unreliable for choosing colors based on what you see because it is not color managed while Color panel and Swatches are.
In your image, the color that you see in the Color Picker is how your monitor displays R=0 G=255 B=0. The color that you see in the Color Panel represents the same values in the file but the color management sends different values to the video card and thus to the monitor to display a color with appearance in the color space selected for the document. In your image this is a CMYK color space which you can check from the Show popup menu at the bottom left of the document window. To check the different values the video card is using, make a screen capture, save the image, open it in Illustrator and measure the color with the eyedropper. The color translation from the values in the file to the video card allows simulation of color spaces other than your monitor's. This simulation is accurate if you have a monitor profile installed in your system that correctly describes how your monitor displays colors. Such profile is created by using a color measuring device and profiling software. If your monitor profile (color space) installed in the system is the same as the color space of the document then there will be no translation (simulation) which in effects shuts down the color management - then the colors in the Color Picker will be the same as in the document. Many people do not bother to get an accurate profile of their monitor and use a generic sRGB profile for that. In such case working in RGB color mode using the sRGB color space (default in the Color Settings) will give the same colors in the Color Picker and the document. This usually is a sign of using a monitor that incorrectly displays colors.
