No menu bar in Ultiboard and Multisim

Hi,
A while ago I had problems on my computer and had to remove the circuit design suite.
It was very difficult and I had to use MSIblast to remove everything. and clean the registry.
Af few days ago,I installed NI ultiboard and Multisim 10 on my home computer (and upgraded to 10.0.1)
and now I use the evaluation time (currently 26 days) before I activate my product (waiting until it works well)
There is no license problem.
When I start the program, it takes quite some time t start (normal) but I only get a window, nothing more, no menu-bar...
The program seems to run well, I can use the F1 button, it is not crashed.
I also get no fault-messages while starting.
I added a screenshot (well, there's nothing to see)
Can anybody tell me what's going wrong?
By the way, I installed the program on the D-disk, not C, but I guess that shouldn't be a problem
Thanks
Johan

Hi? me again... :-)
I finally got through all of it.
Multisim and Ultiboard are both running.
Here's what I did:
-I removed the program through the windwos procedure
-Then removed all NI program folders
-There was a folder on the D disk that seemed to contain the licenses, even after my previous installation on the C disk
-Then removed all NI data from the registry.
-The used the original version 10 CD and installed it
At that moment both Multisim and Ultiboard worked
-Than tried to update:
The update utility got updated first.
Then a huge patch (290 Megs) got downloaded.
I did not install that, I interupted and ran it manually:
I had two patches downloaded, a smal one, upgrade to version 10.0.267
another large one was an upgarde to version 10.0.1
I installed the first one , that went fine, even though the language for the upgrade was German instead of English
I will not install the version 10.0.1 , this seems to be a whole new installation and it asks for my serial number codes again...?
By the way, which is the latest version? 10.0.267 seems a higher version than the 10.0.1... or not?
After updating to the 10.0.267 version I tried the update utility once more, and it would download the 10.0.1 version for some 280 Megs
Should I install that one or not?
I hope my story will help other people hanving troubles with installing and licences...

Menu bar icons vanished and iPod not showing up in iTunes anymore

All menu bar icons on the right side (keyboard, clock, battery) vanished.
It's not possible to get them back by mark their visability in the system configuration. The system just ignores any attempt to do that (I can mark the check box, but nothing appears on the menu bar; after leaving and returning to the panel, the mark has gone).
Besides of that, my iPod doesn't show up in iTunes anymore (but does on the desktop).
My laptop may be physically damaged as it fell down to the floor a few days ago.
Can anybody help?

Have you run the Apple Hardware Test and also Repair Disk?
THESE ARE THE STEPS FOR USING DISK UTILITY TO REPAIR YOUR HD
1.Insert the System Install disk, Mac OS X CD-ROM disk, or Restore DVD disk, then restart the computer while holding the C key. Use the System disk, of the OS, that is currently installed.
2.Once started up from CD or DVD, choose Disk Utility from the Installer contextual menu for Panther, or Utilities for Tiger, on the Menubar at the top of the screen.
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from disc to access Disk Utility.
3.Click the First Aid tab.
4.Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5.Select your Mac OS X volume, if necessary.
6.Click Repair. If DU reports errors it has fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported.
7.When finished, select Quit Disk Utility from the Installer menu.
8.Select Quit Installer from the Installer menu.
9.In the resulting pop-up window, choose restart.
10.After the computer has restarted, you can eject the CD.
Repeat steps 5 & 6, but select the Hard Drive this time. It's usually the first listed with the manufacturer's model number.
Make note of the S.M.A.R.T. status.

Firefox menu bar is hidden and refresh didn't help

Hi, Firefox menu bar is hidden and refresh didn't help. It is not available if I right click the top of the screen beside tabs. I cannot find or restore it on the customize page. I have tried 3 or 4 solutions, and none worked.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Command+Shift+F).

Menu Bar Flashes On and Off

The right side of my menu bar flashes on and off every few seconds. It's there for a second or two then disappears for a second or two. Is there a way I can get this to stop?
It did this when I first got my MBP a few weeks ago and simply opening an app fixed it, now it just keeps flashing on and off.
Thanks

this means that SystemUIServer keeps crashing. delete the file
/users/username/library/preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist and run the following terminal command
killall SystemUIServer

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!
Tom

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.

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,

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

Spry Menu Bar 2.0 and positioning of arrows

Hello again,
I'm now trying to incorporate Spry Menu Bar 2.0 into a client site, using CS6. Two things are occurring: in Live View, for long lines of menu text, the text wraps to a second line (as I would prefer) and the arrows to submenus line up in a readable fashion. But when I view it in IE or Firefox, the text spills outside (off to the right) of the vertical menu container and the submenu arrows are hidden underneath the text. As far as width, I've tried auto and inherit.
So, out of frustration I finally decided I would just shorten my menu text to solve the spilling over problem, and a set pixel width that accommodated my longest line of text. But still, even if the text just fills the container, the arrow is hidden underneath the text. I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to adjust the positioning of the arrow so that it's off to the far right, as it should be. I assume it is this set of rules that controls the arrow:
.MenuBarVertical .MenuItemWithSubMenu .MenuItemLabel{
    background-image:url("images/ArrowMenuRight.gif");
    background-position:right center;
    background-repeat:no-repeat;
.MenuBar .SubMenu .MenuItemWithSubMenu .MenuItemLabel{
    background-image:url("images/ArrowMenuRight.gif");
    background-position:right center;
    background-repeat:no-repeat;
.MenuBar .SubMenu .MenuItemHover.MenuItemWithSubMenu .MenuItemLabel{
    background-image:url("images/ArrowMenuRight.gif");
    background-position:right center;
    background-repeat:no-repeat;
...but I don't know how to adjust these to bump the arrow over. Any ideas out there?
Ideally, I'd like to get back to wrapping my menu text as well, and I don't understand why it appears this way in Live View but not in a browser. But I'll settle for the arrow in the correct position as second prize. Thanks for your help,
Gail

OK, here's what I've done. By adjusting the right padding on #MenuBarVertical .MenuItem .MenuItemLabel, AND #MenuBarVertical .SubMenu .MenuItem .MenuItemLabel, I was able to position the right arrows to where I wanted them. I also removed all links from top-level menu items so that the fly-out submenus would appear on a touch screen. You can see the results on my client site: www.gcssepm.org. I must say that this solution was not intuitive; it took a lot of experimentation to figure out which rule to adjust, and menu rules vs. submenu rules seem to operate in the opposite manner as far as padding and arrows go.
I do have a similar issue with Scott, in that it takes two or more "taps" to get the submenus to fly out, but at least the arrow is there so the user knows there is a submenu to be had. The only real issue I still have is that for sub-submenus (i.e., third-level), no amount of tapping will get those to display long enough to select them (only an issue on the iPad). I don't know a way around this for the iPad, other than to also eliminate all links from second-level menus that have a third level, and that's more reprogramming than I want to do for today.
Final questions regarding the Spry 2.0 widget. Obviously, after I customized the widget, saved it, and imported into my site template, it took some additional tweaking before everything was working properly. Is there a way to export the settings back out to the widget, so that all the tweaking is there? Also, is there a way to save my menu text back to the widget, because it is obviously NOT Home, Entertainment, Music, etc.
Thanks for all your help, and I hope someone else benefits from my experiences as well.

Hard Drive icon won't open and menu bar flashes off and on

All of a sudden, in the middle of the day, my eMac went haywire. I can launch apps and docs are one the desktop. But I cannot open the Hard Drive icon. If I double-click on it (or used Command-O from keyboard), the icon won't open. And when I attempt to open it, the Finder Menu Bar begins flashing off and on (vanishing, reappearing, vanishing) across the top of the screen. I haver rebooted, run disk utility to repair permissions, even booted from TechTools to run its diagnostics. But still no access to the Hard Drive icon. I logged out and logged in as a TEST user, and same thing happens even when logged in that way. Literally, this happened in an instant. One minute the eMac was fine, then this started. Anyone else seen this? -- david

If the problem exists in both your regular account and your Test account odds are that it is at the system level. You can try a Safe boot (hold down the shift key at startup) to see if there is a third party startup item or one of the optional Apple functions that is causing the problem. You could also boot from the installer disk and use the Disk Utility->Repair Disk function. If you have a utility such as Tiger Cache Cleaner which will do a deep cache clean you can also try that.

Ocassionally, when running Firefox 7.0.1 on Mac OS X 10.6.8, I am unable to click the items of the left-most side of the Menu Bar (everything between and including the Apple symbol and "Help").

The keyboard shortcuts for all of the options still work, but will not let me select anything with the mouse. The Apple key seems also not to allow selection of anything on the Menu Bar.
I can browse normally when this happens; it's not freezing or crashing. And I am able to click everything on the right side of the Menu Bar; the clock, wireless icon, battery, etc. Also, other programs running at the same time don't have this problem. A restart of Firefox seems to temporarily fix the problem, but it's happened a few times, with no clear pattern as to what is causing it.
Anyone else having this problem? Solutions?

I fixed this, in a fairly brutal way. Here is the solution.
Save your bookmarks, like on the desktop. Or you could launch Safari and import your Firefox bookmarks into Safari, then later pull them back into Firefox.
COMPLETELY delete everything that has to do with Firefox. That includes not only the application, any dmg file hanging around and most importantly the ENTIRE contents of User/Library/ApplicationSupport/Firefox. Indeed just throw the whole Firefox folder in the Trash. Empty the Trash just in case. Now use Safari to download a new Firefox.dmg file and start from scratch. You will have to re-establish your Preferences. But Firefox will not hang, and most importantly, it will not hang your OS. --Gene

My Menu bar has disappeared and it does not show up in any menu for toolbars

I must have hit a wrong shortcut or something.
My bookmarks bar and menu bar disappeared.
I was able to restore the bookmarks bar in customize the usual way.
But in every place I can get the little toolbar menu, it only shows the Bookmarks bar, not the the Menu bar
How can I get my menu bar back???

# Press''' Alt '''or '''F10''' t o see '''Menu bar'''
# Click on '''View '''>> '''Toolbar''' and mark '''Menu bar'''
*Or right click in empty space on navigation bar and mark '''Menu bar'''.
*Or go to '''Customize tab''' at bottom click on '''Show/Hide Toolbar''' button and mark '''Menu bar'''
Also have sure you aren't in '''Full Screen''' Mode, you can alternate using '''F11 '''or going to''' View''' menu and unmark '''Full Screen''' option.

Menu bar is missing and no full screen icon and no minimize option and cannot close firefox or clear history

My Mac automatically updated from firefox 4 to 5 today, and there is no menu bar, nor is it in full screen for there is no full screen icon. I also can't minimize the firefox windows and cannot quit the program or clear browsing history. This is a huge problem. I went to re-download firefox 4 or 5 and it said I was running 3.6 which is not true and impossible. What is going on?

Only options are:
Navigation
Bookmarks
Add-on
Tabs on Top
Customize...
No "Menu Bar" option... I am on Mac

Translucent Menu Bar never was and still is not an option

When I first got Leopard one of the the first things I noticed was my menu bar wasn't translucent. I have an HP w2007. I just installed 10.5.2. I was told it would have an option to turn it on or off. It doesn't. I went to desktop and screensaver prefs and that checkbox isn't there. Its not a big deal but I just want to know why I don't have the option. Is it because I don't have an apple brand display. Just wondering.

The translucent display features are only available on intel-based Macs.
This is not true. It has to do with which computers support "core image", which has to do with your video card. I'm not sure of the specific ones that do or do not, but for instance, my Powerbook which has a Radeon 9000 in it does not support core image but my PowerMac which as a Radeon X800XT does support core image and does have the option for the transparent menu. The powerbook doesnt even have the option for the transparent menu bar.

Status in Menu Bar - not showing and can't be selected

I have just found that none of the Apple Preference Panes will permit their status to be shown in the Menu Bar - whilst none Apple Preference Panes do.
At first I thought it was just Time Machine. I noticed the Time Machine icon swirling around in a finder window and went to click on its Menu Bar icon to see how much data it was backing up (hence how long it was going to take) but it wasn't there. When I went into Time Machine's Preference Pane and ticked the box, the tick appeared for a fraction of a second and disappeared.
After a restart it returned but now I have noticed that none of the Apple Preference Panes which I have tried allow their status to be shown:
Time Machine, Spaces, Displays, Sound, Bluetooth, Airport - not even the Clock!
Has anybody any idea why this might be, please?

It occurred to me that this might be a permissions problem - I had repaired permissions using TechTool Pro a few days ago and that may have caused this - who knows!
Anyway, I'm just re-repairing permissions using Disk Utility. It says 'Estimated Time: 3 hours' which considering previous permissions repair seems a long time - maybe that is an indication of the problem.
I'll post again in 3 hours!
