  • Remove menu bar from second monitor maverick

    Hi, Can i Remove menu bar from second monitor maverick ?
    Thanks

    Apple has sort of screwed up the whole full-screen / multi-screen features of OSX. I get it's hard to achive it all in a "perfect way" for everyone but the so called "improved" multi-screen features of 10.9 add a number of issue on top of the "fixes".
    1. Switching between apps with CMD + TAB is bugged with using 10.9 screen-setup. The OS doesn't understand what screen I'm using and the CMD + TAB feature shows up on screen 1 or screen 2. The only way I've found to controll this is by activating the DOCK on either screen which is a very bad solution.
    2. Spotlight searching always follows the "active" screen. At least 10.9 understands what screen is my active one but in this case I never ever want screen 2 to have Spotlight on it. Very irriting.
    3. Remembering application positions. If I open an app from the dock on screen 1, place it on screen 2 close it and again open it from the dock on screen 1 the app will open on screen 1 and not screen 2. Some apps will remember certain windows on the correct display. A solution is to open the app from the dock on the display you want it on. Very irritiating.
    4. Swiching between apps is also bugged. Concider I have mail on screen 2 and a new mail window on screen 1. I CMD + TAB to Safari on screen 2 after starting to write the new mail on screen 1. No problems here. If I now howvever CMD + TAB back to mail, the last active window (new mail window on screen 1) won't be active. Very irritating.
    As noted above, going back to what we had in 10.7 and 10.8 solves these issues but doesn't solve Apples horrible fullscreen app issues. I'd go as far as saying Apple hasn't really fixed anything in 10.9 - only cause more issues and confusing behavoir. Fullscreen apps are often very lacking in funktion, having safari or mail fullscreen renders them on a large screen very very limited compared to "maximized". It's also very confusion that you are required to travel between virtual desktops to use full-screen apps. I personally would prefer the option of "layered fullscreen apps". For example VLC allows me to work this way.

  • HT5891 Is there a way to remove the menu bar from a secondary display while still using the "Displays have separate spaces" mode?

    Is there a way to remove the menu bar from a secondary display while still using the very useful "Displays have separate spaces" mode?
    The reason I ask is that most full-screen video playback in most applications, from iTunes to Flash/Silverlight plugins do not take up the full screen, instead leaving space for the menu bar (in the case of iTunes) or leaving the menu bar present on top of the video (for fullscreen Flash/Silverlight videos).
    This is annoying for several reasons ranging from the obvious distraction factor to the fact that 1080p video is not played back at native resolution on a 1080p display.
    If there is no way to disable this functionality while maintaining separate spaces, I would (humbly) suggest that a future update to Mavericks allow non-Lion-style* full-screen apps to take over the entire display.
    *Lion-style full-screen apps are those that animate into a full-screen mode when the opposing-arrows full-screen button in the upper-right-hand corner of the window is pressed.

    No. Turning that off reverts to the old display setup. You have one desktop spanned across all displays. The menu bar appears on the primary display only.

  • Whats the best way to transfer all my pic and vid files from Mac Air to back up drive to free up space on hard disk?

    whats the best way to transfer all my pic and vid files from Mac Air to back up drive to free up space on hard disk?

    Get a third drive if needed, open the Time Machine pane of System Preferences, set it not to exclude that drive, and drag the files to it. If you're moving an iTunes or iPhoto library, launch the application with the Option key held down and choose the moved library.

  • How can i sync music from mac air to zen creative mp3 player

    how can i sync music from mac air to zen creative mp3 player

    iTunes will only sync with Apple devices.  You may find when you plug in your player it appears on hte desktop as another drive.  You can drag files from iTunes to that drive.  You may need to then place them in a special folder but all this is something for you to research since players differ.  We use a Sansa Clip and a RCA player with our iTunes library and that how we do it.
    Make sure your player can play the format files you have in your collection.  Our slightly older players will not play AAC which is the standard format used by the iTunes Store.  If you find that to be the case you will have to convert formats.

  • How to open a new browser window without toolbar, location, and menu bars from AIR?

    I have the following problem in my Flex+AIR application. I need to embed an ActiveX component that has JavaScript API inside my application. I tried to embed it inside <mx:HTML> component but unfortunately, AIR doesnot support plug-ins or ActiveX controls. So I've decided to open it in a new browser window. I tried navigateToURL(...) method but it has two problems - it is opening a new tab in the existing browser window and there is no way for me to configure the new browser window appearance, like removing toolbar, menu bar, location bar, etc. Then I tried to open a new window from JavaScript running inside <mx:HTML> component using window.open(...) API but it doesn't open a new window at all.
    Is there any way for me to open a new browser window without toolbar, location bar, etc. (which will run ActiveX control, so it cannot be AIR window) from inside AIR?
    Best regards,
    Arkady.

    Is it possible to open a new browser window using JSP?a JSP page is also an HTML page, this is client side stuff, you can do it with JavaScript.

  • Remove cc icon from menu bar on mac

    I have dragged anything to do with creative cloud into the trash. The icon is still on my menu bar, how can I remove it?

    Hi Helpme2015,
    I believe you have only trashed Adobe products from Applications. There is a slightly different procedure to remove Adobe products from MAC but since you have trashed the Applications already, we would have to follow the lengthy way around to remove the Adobe products now. Please follow the below mentioned steps and suggest.
    1)      Delete all the Adobe folders available within /Library/Application Support/
    2)      Delete all the Adobe folders available within /Library/preferences
    3)      Delete all the Adobe folders available within ~/Library/Application Support/
    4)      Delete all the Adobe folders available within ~/Library/Preferences/
    5)      Delete files and programs from within Application & Utilities .
    Cheers,

    Right-click or control-click the line and select

    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist

    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:

    /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin

    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

  • Removed hard drive from Mac Air

    Hard drive crashed on the mac air. Now that its come back all working fine, it turns out my daughter needs to recover just a couple files from the old one. I think at this point there is no hope, but any ideas out there would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Samkatic,
    What type of MacBook Air do you have? The first generation (Rev A) had a PATA connection interface, whereas later ones had SATA. Plus, due to the design of the Air the HDs don't have a standard PATA/SATA interface connection so traditional hard drive enclosures don't work as easy as they do on say... a MacBook HD.
    I use to work at the Genius Bar (when the Air was released) and Apple had supplied us with a custom drive dock for MBA HD data transfers when a drive pull was required. You might want to visit your neighborhood store and inquire if they can be of assistance.

  • Permamently display menu bar in Mac OS/Disable tabs

    iMac i5, Mac OS 10.7.5, Thunderbird 24.x
    The Menu Bar in T-bird 24.x is automatically hidden even though the T-bird Help says that it CAN'T be done. I prefer to have the Menu Bar PERMANENTLY visible, but I can't find a setting in Preferences to do this. Where is the setting that will make the Menu Bar permanently visible.
    I DESPISE tabs in Thunderbird; where is the setting to DISABLE tabs? Again I can't find it in the Preferences.

    Use what you like romad, but personally I have come to like the Australis theme in Thunderbird and I downloaded Firefox alpha when I heard that after a year or fussing and fiddling they have finally moved forward.
    Seriously I have no idea what your talking about though. You carrying on like Thunderbird suddenly changed. Australis has been there since Version 17 tabs since Version 3
    As far as your minority operating system is concerned. I have never used it and have no desire to try and decipher what apple did to a perfectly good copy of BSD. If the product changes so radically on point releases that information a couple of years old is worthless, I am sorry. I am used to point releases being minor changes and whole numbers containing the big stuff. However as Thunderbird does not have a feature of the kind you describe, but apple users have been complaining of similar for years in a number of different applications I suggest you ask apple how to fix OSX so it does not do it.

  • Define contents of menu bar from text file

    Hi, 
    I would like to list the contents of the menu bar dynamically by reading it from a text file. Is there a way to do this? 
    Thanks!
    Sinnas
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I suppose you can do it by using InstallMenuDimmerCallback () function: this command installs a function that is called by the system before the menu is shown so that you can dim / undim the appropriate menu items depending on the execution state. See this tip of mine and the following commend from LuisG
    This is the original purpose: you could customize the menu bar instead by using SetMenuBarAttribute () to change the item name(s) and event the associated callback function. I have never used this function that way, though, so I cannot tell you how efficent the mechanism can be and how much delay will it introduce before the menu is shown.

    Thank You Guys!

    Hi Jan
    This can be achieved using widgets with scroll motion applied.
    You can use scroll motion for the menu object and specify X and Y axis with inital and final positions speed.

  • Hide Menu Bar from Users Opening Form

    Allow Documents To Hide The Menu Bar, Toolbars, And Window Controls
    I see this in Preferences>Documents, but how does my doc hide the Menu Bar? The doc is a form that hospital patients can fill out in a kiosk, and we don't want them to see the Menu Bar when they open the form. How do I set the form so that when it opens, the Menu Bar is not visible? Once I have the form open, I know that F9 will close it, but we want the Menu Bar to be closed whenever this form is opened. So, in short how does this work?
    Allow Documents To Hide The Menu Bar, Toolbars, And Window Controls

    That's not an option but you can run some apps such as Safari in full screen mode which hides the menu bar.
    From the Safari menu bar ckik View > Enter Full Screen
    If an app supports full screen mode, that feature should be available from the apps View menu.
