Menu bar shows icon instead of application name

For an unknown reason, my menu bar now shows an icon for the application in the open window instead of the name of the application.  For instance, when I switch to the Finder, the smiley face is in the menu bar next to the Apple menu.  How can I return to have the application name shown?

  • Menu bar shows no detail

    Somebody knows this problem an where I can fix it?
    Thank

    The spry file links are incorrect. Did you define a site folder at the outset of your project? It's important to do this to allow Dreamweaver to put all your files in the correct place.
    Instead of this:
    <script src="file:///Macintosh HD/Users/jermainemclaughlin/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS5.5/en_US/Configuration/Temp/Assets/eam7599256b.TMP/SpryMenuBar.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    Your link should look more like:
    <script src="SpryAssets/SpryMenuBar.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    What Dreamweaver does (if you have defined a site folder correctly) is create a 'SpryAssets' folder inside your site folder where it stores all the files associated with the Spry menu.

  • Ichat drop down menu from menu bar shows up in the wrong place.

    I'm not sure how this happened, but for some reason, ever since I've moved to college, my Ichat drop down menu from the menu bar shows up on the left side of my screen, and you can only see half of the menu. I don't know how to fix this problem so if anyone could help me out that would be great.
    Sincerely,
    Cody Martin

    Yep.
    Go to the Buddy List Status Message and option the Edit option.
    Delete that Status Message that you have that is over 42 characters.
    Ones of about 60 or more will introduce the "Left Shift" (And the fact the drop Down may line up with the right hand edge of the Menu Bar icon on in-between lengths)
    In Snow Leopard it is possible to have a Long Message that displaces the Drop Down Off Screen.
    The other factor is the order of the Menu Bar Icons on that side of the Screen
    The iChat one can be Dragged if you use the Apple (CMD) key.
    If the Drop Down can not fit the message in before the right hand edge of the Screen it will displace.

  • After upgrading to OS 10.10 some fonts appear blurry. Specifically top menu bar, desktop icons, mail

    After upgrading to OS 10.10, some fonts appear blurry. Specifically top menu bar, desktop icons, mail and Safari. This only occurs after the computer has been running for awhile, not immediately after startup. I'm running an iMac, 20 inch, Mid-2007 with the following graphics: ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT 128 MB.
    It's not a huge problem, just darn annoying. Thoughts anyone?

    Hi,
    Please note that this upgrade related problem would very likely be what has been covered by the support document at the link below:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2537
    If you also find any files named to include MessageSorting (which would mean you once have upgraded from a version of OSX earlier than 10.4, which is clearly the case for you), remove those, also, but never restore those.
    Often this is all that needs to be done, but you might then need to force an overall reindexing via the removal of the Envelope Index. Note the special instructions when forcing the reindexing of IMAP or Exchange accounts in the following:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/3.0/en/14019.html
    This will force the reindexing of all the POP mailboxes and all On My Mac mailboxes. With regard to any IMAP accounts if you have any, the practical result of this action of removing the account folder, is that with the IMAP account still set up in the Preferences, Mail will connect to the IMAP server and create a new account folder, and while doing so will index the messages in the mailbox folders of the IMAP accounts on the server.
    Keep me posted.

  • Can i have the orange firefox symbol AND the firefox menu bar showing at the same time?? and how??

    hi, i just downloaded firefox 16 and would like to know, can i have the orange firefox symbol thats at the top left corner of the page, AND the firefox menu bar showing at the same time??? i'm new to this, and old, and hope i can do this..thanks for your help...joan albert

    Here are two "Menu" add-ons which alter the Menu bar into one button.
    With this one you can move the new "Menu" button into the Customize Palette, and then when you hit the '''Alt''' key the "Menu will open down from the Titlebar on the left. Won't affect the action of the Firefox button when you de-select the Menu Bar.<br />

    This one I haven't used recently, but you can play with it to see what is possible. <br />

  • I just recently installed mountain lion and an update for SMC firmware to install power nap. Everything is working except for the menu bar, the icons native to the system do not respond, and features like the clock and battery meter freeze.

    I just recently installed mountain lion and an update for SMC firmware to install power nap. Everything is working except for the menu bar, the icons native to the system do not respond, and features like the clock and battery meter freeze.
    When I mouse over the icons, the rainbow appears as if it was processing something. The problem is eliminated when I restart my computer but it comes back after a while.
    I guess I cant make a backup copy and restore the whole disk because the copy would be made with this error.
    Can anyone help me? Anyone with the same issue?

    Update: I was able to test out the HDMI adapter as well and the same issue occured.  I'm stumped.  10.8.1 maybe.

  • Sim icon in menu bar showing "No SIM" in menu on MPB. How to remove?

    In my menu bar I've got a strange icon showing simcard with exclamation mark. When I click it, it shows tiny menu with "No SIM".
    I don't know where it came from and how to get rid of it.
    I've removed old mobile phones with modems from list of my bluetooth devices, and removed all mobiles in Networking preferences.
    I don't have any peripherals connected that could use SIM. I never had any mobile broadband modems and don't recall installing such software.
    Where this icon comes from and how can I get rid of it?

    I can't tell you where it comes from, but in general you can remove icons from the right part of the menu bar by holding a "command" key down while you drag the icon down out of the menu bar.

    i tried logging out, and restarting my computer. still not there.
    Try this:
    mv ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SystemUIServer.plist ~/Desktop;killall SystemUIServer
    If that doesn't work right away, logging out and in should make it take effect.
    If not, create a new user account and see if the problem happens there as well.
    Good luck!

  • No task bar/menu bar or icons appear when I login into my main account, however this is not a problem with my guest accout

    So was trying to use install disk ! to solve the problem but did not want to reinstall the system because I have not backed up many of my photographs.  Then the disk got stuck and would not come out so when I shut down and restarted I could not get past the gray screen.  Well I was able to solve the problem and remove the disk, and finally it would load to the login screen, although it took some time to get there.  Then when I log in to my main account the desktop will load but the task bar and icons will not its completely blank except for the wall paper.  When I login into my guest account there is not a problem everything is there and functional. I've been researching but have had no luck on a solution.  Thank you for your help.

    Hello,
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

  • Generic icons instead of application icons

    In Finder windows, I regularly get generic document icons instead of those belonging to the associated application, e.g.,  generic PDF icons instead of the Adobe Reader icon (which is what I's like to show up). Solutions? Thank you.

    Do a backup.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist.  Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Re-launch Finder by restarting the computer and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the same, return the .plist to where you got it  from, overwriting the newer one.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this. 

  • Menu Bar Widget - how to target li name="item_one"

    Hello,
    I am using CS5.
    I using spry widget menu bar ... simple layout and I want to target individuals element on li.
    Here is the code
    <body>
    <ul id="MenuBar1" class="MenuBarVertical">
      <li name="item_one"><a href="#">Item 1</a>  </li>
      <li name="item_two"><a href="#">Item 2</a></li>
    </ul>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    var MenuBar1 = new Spry.Widget.MenuBar("MenuBar1", {imgRight:"SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarRightHover.gif"});
    </script>
    </body>
    I want to target with CSS name="item_one" so I can change background image, etc.
    On CS3 there was a "inset menu bar" option then you could target individuals elements.
    I have a nav bar that each element has different backgrounds images.
    On the CSS I have the standard CSS that dreamweaver installs. But for example the ul.MenuBarVertical a targets every thin on the page.
    On the properties window (once you click on the individuals items you can assign names hence "item_one" and "item_two"
    and it call it CSS-P Element.
    Thank you in advance.
    Carlos

    Ben,
    Thank you for the link. On the vertical menu bar it shows
    .MenuBarVertical  .MenuItem {
         padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px;
         border-color: #ffffff #ffffff #cccccc #ffffff;
         border-style: solid none none none;
    .MenuBarVertical .MenuItemLast {
         border-style: solid none none none;
    .MenuBarVertical .MenuItem .MenuItemLabel{
         padding: 6px 22px 6px 19px;
    .MenuBarVertical .MenuItemHover {
         border-color: #ffffff #ffffff #cccccc #cccccc;
    Which there is a class .MenuItem
    When I turn Live Code on CS5 and hover over the item you get this
    <ul id="MenuBar1" class="MenuBarVertical">
      <li class="item_one"><a href="#" class="MenuBarItemHover"> </a>  </li>
      <li><a href="#" class="">Item 2</a></li>
    </ul>
    It is interesting that on the construction CS5 places a .MenuBarItem class. I placed the class="item_one" to be able to target (change background, etc)
    that specific item with this CSS
    ul.MenuBarVertical .item_one
    a{
    display: block;
    cursor: pointer;
    color: #333;
    text-decoration: none;
    background-image: url(../images/Home-UP.png);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    height: 6em;
    /* Menu items that have mouse over or focus have a blue background and white text */
    ul.MenuBarVertical .item_one a:hover ,ul.MenuBarVertical .item_one a:focus
    color: #000;
    background-image: url(../images/Home-OVER.png);
    Which in turn it gives the effect to change background image when hover.

  • Menu Bar - Show Text

    I have an addon which comes with a toolbar - the buttons on the toolbar appear as icon and text.
    When I move these buttons from the addon toolbar to the default Menu Bar - the text disappears.
    If I use customize and select show icons and text, then all the toolbars are altered.
    I just want to change the Menu Bar so it shows icons and text - is this possible?

    Thanks jscher2000 and cor-el.

  • Horizontal menu bar shows serif type font in Live View and Preview but sans serif is in css file

    Help I am using the Spry horizontal menu bar and while it is working fine, it is showing a serif font in Live View and in all Browsers even though I have selected a sans serif font. What gives? I have attached the SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css

    Add this to your embedded styles:
    body {
        background-color: #999;
    font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    using, of course, the font list you want.
    All those styles that rely on the 'default' font will now default to the Trebuchet font list (or to your chosen list).
