Monitor symbol disappeared in Task bar

Hallo -
I have installed ML, no issues, also Airplay works. Just one thing is confusing me. The Monitor symbol in the upper Taskbar (where Time Machine, Battery ... Time and so on is shown) is disappeared. I have seen that :-) before and I used it to enable Airplay mirroring.
In the previous versions, it could be checked on in System preferences but now I do not find a checkbox anymore :-(
Would be nice if I could have it back
Ronald

I miss that symbol a lot, because I could switch the external monitor (for example a beamer on presentations) from sync to extend monitors, what was extremely handy.
For example I switched it to "sync" when I showed my customers how a software worked, so they could see the same what I see on my screen. Then I started a keynote presentation, which is better if the displays are not synced but "extended", or if I want them to shwo something different on the beamer than on my screen.
If this has removed by intend, I will write a feedback as this feature is very important to me. Removing such features hurt a lot, especially if you often have used them.

T410 (2522) - No battery symbol within the task bar

Hello together,
around 4 weeks ago i have bought a new T410 laptop. Everything works fine, but i have so problems with the battery symbol (big one) within the task bar. Within the lenove power manager the option to display the symbol is selected. Sometimes it is visible, sometimes not.
Power Manager and Management driver are updated to the latest version (3.62 & 1.62). OS is a Windows 7 64 bit professional.
Any ideas?
Regards

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.

Firefox 8.0 occasionally disappears from task bar when minimized but keeps running

Running Firefox 8.0 on Windows XP, have 12 tabs open. Occasionally, when I minimize Firefox, it disappears from the task bar. I know that Firefox is still running because one of the open tabs is a radio station stream on Silverlight. The only way to get Firefox back is to click a link in an email then Firefox will open in a new tab (it is my default browser)

I am guessing it is because you minimise Firefox to the Windows Xp task bar but have ot either locked that or set it to be on top so it may disappear from view.
When the task bar is visible left click any space area on the taskbar the popup will have options including
* '''''lock task bar''''' if you tick that the task bar stays the same size
* '''''properties''''' if you click on that you get other options for customising the task bar

Firefox 4 is not appearing in Task bar or some times it is Disappearing from task bar when i am minimising the window. so, i had to go to Task manager and find the icon.Its becoming big messy if tabs are not found , to switch programmes.

firefox icon is missing from "Task bar"when i am minimising the window

I am unwilling to attempt navigation away from these sites. The pop-ups that occur on the attempt to leave a site or to close the browser are exit traps offering incentive to stay.
Once upon a time, when the internet was less dangerous, I would be willing to close the exit pop-ups. Now, after twice being infected with malware trying to close the pop-ups, I now force close whichever browser I am using.
Recently, I clicked on the red X to close one pop-up, and it installed a trojan that I had to pay to be removed. When I clicked on 'Leave' in another exit pop, it didn't exit and it turned out I was giving permission to run a script file. Now that criminals have learned these exit pop-ups can be used to force a click action, the sites using them have become dangerous.
If I force the browser to close using Task manager, Please tell me how to stop FireFox from sending me directly back to the same site because it mistakenly believes it crashed when it did not. I forced it to close because I was on a site that had taken control of my browser and was not allowing me to leave the site.
No other browser sends me back to the potentially dangerous sites. I prefer Firefox, but the new version must have a setting that allows me to get safely away from a problem site?

Disappearing Dock & Task Bar Icons

I just installed OSX 6.8 on my MacBook Pro. Now some of the items in the dock no longer appear with their icons. The dock has a few blank spaces in it, but if you mouse over the blank space the identifying text appears. Same thing is true for the Task Bar that you get when you hit Command-Tab. Any ideas?

Are those items Apple applications or 3rd party apps you installed and perhaps moved to a custom location?
Do the dock icons still work or not?

After installing update I can't get a full screen. Only tabs under foxfire symbol on task bar.

I had to "un-install" Foxfire and reinstall the older version I was using. Every time I tried to install the update it messed up and I could never make it open to full screen. It just kept opening the tabs under the Foxfire symbol on the task bar. Has updating caused this for
others? I am using HP desktop with updated Windows 8. (hate windows 8) Everything works fine until I install the Foxfire update.

I have the same problem ......when I try to update foxfire it messes up and then I can not get anything but a little square under the foxfire logo on the taskbar...just will not open to full screen only blank except for the tiny square under logo of foxfire....so will just leave things the way they are as they work fine so guess it is ...I did go to HP and installed all update and also Windows

Blinking Task Bar

Hi, I've just switched over our entire office to Mac and have been extremely pleased until today. I noticed a little American flag icon in my task bar so I clicked it, and noticed the character map so I was messing around in there. Anyway, my mighty mouse got stuck or someting and I accidentally dragged one of the characters to the desktop. All my folders and icons on the desktop disappeared, my task bar up top just blinks now. When I open an app, it works but just blinks. If I open a new Finder window, it pops up for about 2 seconds and closes itself. At this point I'm just trying to find a way to get to the desktop and see if there is something I need to delete. Can anyone give me some direction here? Like I said I am new to the mac world and feel pretty helpless.
Thanks in advance,
Casey

Duo monitor and windows task bar...

Hi, i have two monitors. And now here is my question/problem, when i watch videos or live streams(main monitor) i usually have another page for browsing open on my 2nd monitor and i stay on that page while watching live stream at the same time. However the windows task bar wont disappear and it remains and over-laps the bottom part of my main monitor. Is there any way to change this or perhaps theres no hope?

Hi,
if my understanding is correct your issue is more related to primary/secondary monitor setting in Windows. Please note that when in extended mode the taskbar will normally be only shown on the primary monitor.
The Windows taskbar will disappear when you use FF in fullscreen mode (F11) which you may find useful when streaming video from web.
Hope it helps

My speaker doesn't work when I try to listen to music or open up a quick time file, however they seem to work perfectly when I listen to a voice memo (p.s. the volume slider disappears in a song page and even in the multi tasking bar)

Thanks for your solution, it wasn't quite what solved the problem but i remembered that i had a bit of salt water on my phone recently and spraying the charging port with an anti-oxide spray solved my problem, do you mind if i ask, how is the charging port related with the volume or/and speakers?

After Firefox has been on for awhile, the Firefox tabs on the task bar disappear even though the pages are still running. I have to use Ctrl+Tab to fix it

I have started using Firefox recently. My computer is running XP. I notice that whether I have one Firefox window or multiple windows open, after awhile the Firefox tabs on the bottom task bar just disappear.
In order to get them back I have to use Ctrl+Tab to select each window one at a time and then they re-appear again on the task bar. Then after awhile they will disappear again.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item: 
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]] 
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
Thank you.

I keep multiple windows opened and minimized. Sometimes when I click on the task bar to Restore, it apparently "disappears" out of view past the upper left corner. From then on, it can only be seen by using Maximize. What can be done to move it back?

I keep multiple windows opened and minimized. Sometimes when I click on the task bar to restore one, it apparently "disappears" out of view beyond the upper left corner of the screen. From then on, it can only be seen by using Maximize in the task bar. When Restore/Move/Size are clicked, the pointer just goes to the upper left corner of the screen with all combinations of clicking/dragging having no success. What causes this, and what can be done to move it back?

If a window disappear then using the system menu can make it reappear or make it possible to move that window in view. I don't know what causes it to make the window disappear in your case if it does work correctly if you start Firefox.
You can check the browser.link.open_newwindow prefs on the about:config page if you want to open all links in tabs in the current window.
