Menu bar items open and close quickly on first click

Hi,
I am running 10.8.2 and recently when I select an item from the menu bar or an application menu the menu folder flashes on and off very quickly for the first time, and I need to select it again to get it to open properly.
Has anyone expereinced this before, or does anyone have any suggestions on the problem / a solution?
Many thanks,
Ian

A last post in the hope that someone may know the reason for the above?

  • App Eckhart on Emerson Tolle TV-Ipad  open and close quickly.

    Recently I purchased app Eckhart on Emerson Tolle TV-Ipad directly from App Store, once installed, an icon was created in my Ipad screen but when I try to open the application it open and close quickly.
    When I review installed applications this app does not appear.
    Actually I had installed ibooks, Numbers and pages. All other applications works fine.
    IOS release is 5.0.1 Spanish no update pending.
    In order to solve this issue i trying deleting  and reinstalling the app but the problem steel persist

    Try double-tapping the home button, then holding the app icon until the minus sign appears. Touch the minus sign to kill all the apps. Then restart the iPad with the home/power buttons (hold for ten seconds) until the apple appears.

    Tried that and it still isn't working. Not sure if it's software thing but I just noticed when I swipe up my control center the flashlight option is not available as well. I'm not sure why this is. I have a 5s with the newest software. That's for the suggestion

  • Menu bar items disappear, and external hard disks not mounting

    Hi,
    This problem started yesterday. I start up my Mac, and none of the menu bar items in the top-right of the screen show up. Then I noticed that none of my external hard disks had mounted.
    Looking at the Activity Monitor, I saw that sustemuiserver was not running.
    Reading around, I discovered that this usually follows a FrontRow hack (which I haven't installed). I tried deleting the ~/Library/preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist file and logging out and back in again. Everything seems to work again, for a while. However, the same thing happened this morning.
    Has anyone else experienced this, and anyone know a fix to stop it from happening?
    Thanks!

    I've been having the same problem for a while (I believe since 10.5.3). I have reinstalled OSX, installed OSX 10.5.6 combo hoping that it would fix it, but nothing yet. I have the problem only when I insert an expresscard into the slot and restart. It connects to a PCI expansion chassis. When I restart with the ExpressCard installed, all menu items dissappear and I can't eject volumes (hard drives) from the desktop. If I restart without the ExpressCard in, the menu bars seem to work properly. I tried with an older G4 running 10.4.11, with a CardBus card and the same chassis, and that worked fine... all menu bar items displayed and worked properly and I could eject disks.
    I have also tried creating new users, but that didn't work either.

  • Apps in iPad 1 open and close quickly

    Hello,
    My mother has an iPad 1 (she has her own itunes account) but had never synced and updated her iPad with a computer (pc or mac).
    Today I had to use it and connected to my iTunes on the pc but only to update her iOS on the iPad wich was 3.x. After the whole update process (wich went normal and smooth) almost every app that I woud open, closed imeadtly. I say ALMOST because, a few from the default apps (like Mail, Photos, Safari, System, etc) opens normaly. Though iBooks doesnt and all 3rd party apps also doesnt open normaly.
    I've tryed to reboot it one more time thinking it was some kind of strange bug or something but didn't work. The apps continue to open and close almost instantly.
    I'd like to know if anyone had a similar problem and how they solved it or if my only resource is to roll back to the iPad backup made in my pc.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Firefox 4 Menu Bar - When I hover over or select a menu bar item, the menu bar sub-menu becomes transparent and unreadable. Is this a known issue that can be corrected with an update or is it functionality that is not designed to work with this version?

    Firefox 4 Menu Bar - When I hover over or select a menu bar item, the menu bar sub-menu becomes transparent and unreadable. Is this a known issue that can be corrected with an update or is it functionality that is not designed to work with this version?

    If this happens on monitor 2 of 2, this problem has been solved here:
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/794823#answer-157988
    Go to "Firefox"--> "Options" --> "Advanced"
    Then un-check "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    While not verified, I believe this problem is due to an SLI configuration where the focus is on monitor 1. (I.e acceleration is available, but only on monitor 1.)

  • Delay when opening Airport menu bar item following Security Update 2007-005

    When I first got this computer, there was one annoying quirk: when I clicked on the Airport menu bar item at the top right, there would be a roughly 1 second pause before the menu actually appeared. I recall hearing other people having the same experience at the time. Airport worked fine, but this delay was really annoying: since you're not sure if the system registered your click, so you click again, but then it registers the second click which causes the menu to disappear as soon as it appears, and you click again, and fall into this ridiculous cycle of fighting the sluggish menu item.
    Before long, this issue disappeared following some update (I can't remember which).
    After installing Security Update 2007-005, this exact same annoyance has reappeared. (I can confirm that the presence of the 802.11n Enabler update has no effect on the problem.)
    Is anyone else noticing this? Is there anything I can do to fix it?

    Hi
    Can you tell people how you cured the problem, so that those who search looking for answers to a similar problem know how to fix it?

  • Can not open safari. When I launch safari it opens and closes very quickly

    I have an internet connection but I can not open safari, my apps that require internet connection still work. When I launch safari it opens and closes very quickly. I have tried rebooting the Ipad several times, and have already cleared the history, cache and cookies. Please Help!!

    As Michael says - a reset will most probably fix this.
    Here are instructions on how to do this should you not have your manual handy:

  • Bookmark side bar opens and closes incessantly

    the bookmark bar that opens to the right of the browser is popping open and close, usually so fast I can't enter text in the browser or read or look at anything. I'm typing this in notepad; it doesn't seem to be a stuck key.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == last night (Saturday the twelfth)

    Have you tried closing your bookmarks bar or moving your bookmarks bar to a new level? See screenshot for example.

    my macbook is going to sleep while I'm working or viewing something. I will sometimes have to open and close it several times to get it to "wake up" again. Also, no sound comes out of my Macbook. I only hear with earbuds or headphones. Any suggestions?

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
    syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CSeq "Previous Shutdown" | tail | open -f -a TextEdit
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Post the contents of that window, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.

  • Safari is slow to open and close. It also slows down other apps while running. Should I reload safari and if so, how do I do so?

    Safari is slow to open and close. It also slows down other apps while it is running. How can I resolve this issue?

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
    If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.
    If there's no improvement, continue as follows.
    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. Test.
