Wheres my Finder Menu bar gone??

This is a really odd one...
When my partner switches user to her account the a pop appears stating "Finder failed to open; restart"
Then when she tries to open something in Applications the computer freezes, the finder menu bar on the top of the screen vanishes and nothing can be opened from the dock. Tried the variety of CTR + all sorts and nothing happens!
Sometimes open applications (such as Word or Safari) have some limited function, sometimes not.
As the finders gone I can't switch users. On the few occations when I have been able to my user accounts finder menu bar has either been transparent or not there!
All I've been able to do is hold the on/off button down until the computer switches off!
Anyone having this issue? Able to help??
Cheers
Gethin

Hi
What exactly did you try? CTR is not something I'm familiar with unless it's your shorthand for something else?
Have you tried booting in safe mode yet? Hold down the shift key. Be patient as it can take some time. At the log in try and log in with her account. If you can navigate to the /Users/Home/Library/Preferences folder. Find the com.apple.finder.plist. Take this to the trash. Next launch DU and repair permissions. When done quit and Restart the mac. Post back if you're still having problems. If you have a chance at this point back up all important and relevant information.

Icons in menu bar gone

All the icons in the menu bar on the top right have disappeared. Time, airport status, time machine, battery status, everything. I've gone into system preferences and tried to set the icon to show up, but it resets itself to the off status when I click out of the particular menu. I also found out taking screen shots by doing command+shift+3 doesn't work anymore either, despite it being enable in system preferences.

Adobe Reader plugin on Intel iMac... menu bar gone when viewing pdf?!?!?

I had Adobe Reader 7.0.5 on my iMac G5 and when I clicked on a pdf file, it opened in a new window with a menu bar at the top. Since migrating to my Intel iMac yesterday, the menu bar is gone though pdf pages display... just with blank space where the menu used to be. I downloaded v7.0.8 and installed and the same problem. I have the prefs set to view pdf files in Safari and, again, they view... just no menu bar! Any idea how to fix this?

As far as I know, Adobe Reader (even v7.0.8) isn't Universal yet, which means it [the plugin] probably won't run natively on your Intel iMac unless you run Safari under Rosetta.

Menu bar gone except spotlight

I have few Macs (mostly G5) that I have this problem. After restart sometimes Mac doesn't start up. I just have desktop with nothing on it except a half an inch of a menu bar (that one with spotlight icon) and after I put mouse over spotlight beachball is spinning. I usually clear this by restarting with shift down and emptying the trash but after few days it happens again.
Very annoing. Anyone knows what is the cause?
Derek

In this case, you can try logging in as a different user, and see if that happens again.
Are you sure the empty-trash thing is the resolution of the problem ? What happen if you just bot in safe mode, then boot again normally ?
This is almost certainly due to a third party product installed on all your macs, perhaps something related to SystemUIServer (partially responsible of the icon bar on the right of your menu bar) or the Finder.
If you get lucky enough to get access to Console.app when the problem happens, there are good chances to see a reference to the problem there, unfortunately, it is emptied at each boot, and I know no way to avoid that.
Good luck

Where have my menu bars gone for full screen apps?

Hello
Liking Lion so far but a quick query:
When I first started using it, I could make the menu bar appear in a full screen app by simply moving the cursor up to the top of the screen and holding it there - the menu bar would appear within a second.
Now, nothing happens. I have to either quit the application - or I've now found that CTRL/CMD/F pulls me out of the full screen - but then that puts the app back onto the main desktop.
Is there anything I might have done to alter this behaviour?
Thanks..

I think you are right and it's a bug.
I can't reproduce it on my system. You might want to
create a new User go to System Preferences > Accounts > "+" (make it an admin acct) and test full screen in this new account, to see if the problem is isolated to your User or systemwide.

Airport icon in menu bar gone

Hi! My airport icon has disappeared from the menu bar at the top right of the screen....how do i get it back? Thanks!
lara

Hi lara
Go to System Preferences - Network - Airport, and click "Show Airport status in menu bar".
The menu bar icons are very easy to drag off if you hold down the cmd key accidentally. You can also rearrange them by holding down cmd and dragging them left and right.

Bug? Menu Bar Not Accessible in Safari After Watching Full Screen Video

Hi everyone,
I have had this Not accessible menu bar problem time to time while using Safari, and I finally figured out what caused it. It always happens right after you go to a full screen video mode, and then get back out, and now when you move the mouse curser to the top, menu bar doesn't show. Then a way to fix is by using the 4 finger gesture to go back to the desktop screen, and come back to safari (not too fast) and menu bar is again accessible. Why is apple not fixing this bugs? I have seen more thread about menu bar gone, so it's not just me.

Hit the escape key to exit full screen.
That may be a "works as expected/designed," but once you've exited Full Screen View, then reenter Full Screen View and play a video in full screen mode, the window switches out of Full Screen to display the video in full screen video mode. It doesn't stay in Full Screen view, like it is the first time around.
EDIT:
Esc exits full screen video mode, but you still cannot access the slide-out menu bar with the button. Repeatedly pressing Esc does not exit Full Screen View, either. This only appears on the first invocation of Full Screen view and video mode. Once you exit Full Screen, the window behaves differently.
Note that we have determined this is only affected by HTML5 video. I have to do some more testing to figure out if it is ClickToPlugin that is causing the issue.
What's a good source for straight HTML5 video?

MENU BAR ITEMS ON RIGHT SIDE ARE GONE!!!

I am using 10.2.8 on my iBook. All the menu bar items on the right side (audio, date and time, internet connect, airport) are suddenly GONE and there is nothing I can do to get them back. Clicking show battery status in the menu bar does not work. Ditto with date and time in menu bar and show PPPoE status in menu bar. Show volume in menu bar cannot be checked!!! I called Apple Care and they recommend an archive install of system folder and then reinstalling all my other programs. That sounds extemem and I'd like to avoid it if possible. Please help! Thank you very much!

Hey guys I've got the same problem. Booted machine up in the morning - no right side menu bar items. Last night I was erasing some language files from various apple apps (mostly iLife stuff, would 'get info' on the app, click on languages and then remove everything but english - usually reduced the size of those applications by a quarter to a half). Unfortunately I wanted to see what sum result of saved disk space I'd have so I emptied the trash can (seemingly too soon!) and I don't know how to fix whatever went wrong. Help!
thanks,
Alex

Reset printer settings....still no print....plus added items to menu bar...they're gone

reset printer settings....still no print....plus added items to menu bar...they're gone from bar & customize window...title bar changed

Firefox doesn't print some pages well, but if you have this problem on all pages, there may be some problem with Firefox's ability to work with your printer driver. If it's only particular pages, can you post the URLs for an assessment?
I'm not clear on what happened with Cut, Copy & Paste: you moved them from the menu drop-down to the toolbar and then they disappeared?
If you return to Customize mode, try clicking Restore Defaults and see whether things return to normal.
When you say "toolbar background" do you mean a theme you were using in an earlier version of Firefox? Otherwise, there's not much to see.
If Firefox is becoming transparent or showing some desktop or showing other display glitches it may be incompatible with your graphics card drivers. The standard workaround for that is to disable Firefox's use of hardware acceleration for graphics.
3-bar menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
This will take effect the next time you exit out of Firefox and restart it.

Where has the iCloud icon gone in the menu bar

When iCloud where in the trial stage they had a little cloud icon top right side in the menu bar to drag and drop files to. I recentlywanted to upload docs to iCloud and noticed it had gone. I never log into iCloud from the Internet, after reading the threads, it seems this is the only way to save files to the cloud now, am I wrong?

Are you sure you aren't confusing iCloud with iWork.com? In any event, there's no menu icon. To upload iWork documents, go to http://icloud.com and go to the iWork page, pick the appropriate of the three programs, and drag the file in the Finder to the web page.

What happened to my menu bar? It's gone.

''locking a a duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/813068''
Firefox shows up on my dock and when I open it there is no menu bar or tool bar. What happened to them? Where are they?

Yes, they made it able to start a "private Window"...
But does it WORK?
I noticed that in v20, Firefox send cookies that were set before the "private Window" was opened.
This means NO PRIVACY !!!
A site you visit in your "New Private Window" will ID you by the cookies it has set in the past.
Privacy is gone... bye bye ...
Of course one can manually delete the cookies for a certain domain.... but why would i want to go through all this work...
I hope it's fixed.
And if it's not fixed.. it will be bye bye Firefox ... terrible choice.

My menu bar is gone, and I have no knowledge of how to get it back, Does anyone have a solution?

I was just playing around in the edit bar, and I clicked something by accident and then it was gone. ; n ;

Firefox 3.6+ versions have a feature to allow the user to hide the Menu bar.
Hit the '''Alt''' key to temporarily show the Menu bar, then open View > Toolbars and select Menu bar, so it has a check-mark. <br />
The F10 can also be used on most PC's to temporarily reveal the Menu bar.

My Menu Bar has gone + Date and Time causes System Preferences to freeze

Hi my ibook has recently lost its menu bar, I have had a search around the forum to see if i can find the answer but i cant. If you reselect items from system preferences such as bluetooth display etc. nothing appears in the menu bar. If i go to the time and date menu just opening it causes sytem prefs to stop responding and you can only force quit out of it. Are the two things related?
I tryed to remove the com.apple.systemmenu file as one of the post on here said to do, but alas nothing. is it gone for ever?
Will i have to reinstall os-x
Many thanks in advance

could this be involved? or does the mac not even get time to place the icon before it freezes.
Yes, it might. I thought I had reproduced this, since I also got "Click the lock to make changes" with no icon, but after a short delay the "open lock" icon appeared and the text changed to "Click the lock to prevent further changes". So maybe this shows there is a problem with the icon file. More on this later.
is this another factor?
Does your login password still work as the keychain password? If so, start Keychain access and choose Keychain First Aid from the application menu.
I doubt this will affect the lock icon, but let us know if the keychain password problem goes away first, then we can look at the other problem.

My Creative Cloud icon is gone from the menu bar and the CC app will not open. I'm on OS 10.10.3. I've tried reinstalling and also various fixes suggested on this forum but to no avail. Incredibly frustrating to be paying monthly for a product that doesn't work.
