On screen Keyboard stuck under menu bar

On one of my GB songs when I select window> Keyboard, to get the onscreen keyboard to show, half of it is running off the top of my screen under the menu bar. I cannot click and drag it down so I can use it. It allows me to stretch it to the right but I cant click on a part of it that allows me to move it/re-position it on screen. The position it is in now will not allow me to use it.
Help Please.
Paul

Hey thanks a lot! It was very nice of you. I have noticed that you help a lot of people with GB in these forums. Every time I search these forums I see your name helping out someone. You should be commended:)
Back to the topic at hand, After reading your post I tried something and it worked. What was happening is when I recorded or worked on something on my 17" MacBook Pro and then brought it over to my G5 with regular (non widescreen format) dual displays it was forcing the keyboard off the screen. So I tried opening the file on the MBP and moved the keyboard way down to the bottom, saved, moved the file to the G5, and when I opened it the keyboard was in the middle. Problem solved.
You learn something new everyday. And I am sure this will happen to someone else and hopefully they will search these forums and find this post for a solution.
Thanks Again,
Paul

  • Window on mac is stuck under menu bar

    window on mac is stuck under menu bar

    In case this happens to anyone else (and searching the web, it seems fairly common), the application that was having this problem for me was iTunes.  Stuck under the menu bar, no way to move it.  I could get it to go full screen, but going back to a window put it in the same stuck position. Quitting and restarting the application didn't help.
    Finally found a solution that worked for me (2013 MacBook Air, Mavericks);  I usually have an external monitor plugged in when I'm at home, which enabled the following:
    I right-clicked the iTunes icon in the Dock, went to "Options" in the popup menu, and selected "Assign to Desktop on Display 2" (which is my Air's built-in screen).  I then started the application, and it opened in the middle of the Air screen.  After that I could move it anywhere (and I reassigned it to "All Desktops" from Options).
    Hope this helps someone...

  • App stuck under Menu Bar after Unlock

    Random application's Title bars are getting stuck under the Menu Bar at the top left of the screen after I unlock my Air.  Attempts to drag the window to a different location results in them snapping back to the original position.  The only fix is to close the application and restart.
    Anyone else seeing this?  Could this be an Accessibility option that's on that shouldn't be?

    I ended up re installing Mavericks after the last update (10.9.1) from a bootble USB stick. The problem appears to have gone away, so maybe my original upgrade of Mavericks caused the problem???
    I downloaded Mavericks again from the app store. When it had finished downloading (approx 5Gb) I exited the installer and created a bootable USB (needs to be 8GB minimum). Then booted from USB and ran the Mavericks installer. As I said problem seems to have disappeared......
    I used this article http://www.macworld.com/article/2056561/how-to-make-a-bootable-mavericks-install -drive.html and used the method in Option 1 in the article to create the drive. A Synopsis of the steps are:
    Format the USB using Disk Utility to Mac OS Extended with GUID partition.
    Open Terminal and paste the following command press Return and enter admin password when prompted
    sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app --nointeraction
    It takes a while to create and copy the installer. (Could be up to 30 mins)
    Finally reboot and hold down Option key while computer boots then select the USB drive.

  • Weird open command stuck under menu bar for just one specific file

    I'm having a weird problem where a little arrow in a small grey box sits under the menu bar, no matter which program is active. If I roll over it, an icon for a quicktime file shows. Clicking it open a specific file. It's one I had dragged to the desktop from the trash. If I click the icon, it opens the file from the trash. If I delete the trash, the little grey box and arrow stays there, pointing to the file in the trash even though it doesn't exist anymore. I cannot get rid of it!
    Here are some screenshots since this is hard to explain.

    Hi Jerymander , Welcome to Apple Discussions,
    Have you tried starting in "Safe Mode"?

  • Application stuck under menu toolbar

    An application I'm running (Filezilla FTP client) is stuck under the mac menu toolbar. I can't grab the toolbar of the application to move it or access what I need to access. I've researched this issue and other people have had the same problem, but none of their solutions have worked for me. I've tried changing the resolution of my screen, disconnecting my dual monitor, "zoom" is not available in the program I'm working with, and I've tried a multitude of expose/spaces/random key commands to no avail. Any other ideas?
    Using 10.9.5

    I can't see from your screenshot if there available screen space around the window. You could try dragging the window down from one of the bottom edge - making it smaller first if necessary (when the cursor is near the edge it has double arrow that indicates changing the window size), then make sure that your mouse is enough inside the window that the cursor is a normal one-arrow and drag it down. Repeat if necessary until the title bar reappears.

  • Java windows slip under menu bar, how to move?

    Hi, I have accidently dragged some Java windows beneath the (transparent) menu bar.
    Safari browser windows do not slip under the menu bar, but those created by a Java application can slide beneath it, up to the edge of the screen...just far enough to make accessing their title bars impossible. I'm able to resize the Java windows by dragging their accessible edges but I am unable to click on their title bars in order to drag them back down beneath the menu bar.
    How can I click upon title bars or resize these windows to lower them in desktop space, so their title bars are lower than the menu bar? I am currently unable to drag or click upon their obscured title bars to move these windows. Is there another way to move windows without clicking upon their title bars?
    thanks

    apparently there is a third party app called windowsmover or something like that
    do a google search for "windows mac os move shortcut keyboard"

  • Adobe Application Manager Stuck in Menu Bar - Mac

    Hello,
    A few years ago, before I upgraded to my own Mac, I installed the CS5 trial on my husband's Mac, seeing if his computer could handle the Creative Suite. Well, it couldn't. It's an older Mac, so I purchased my own,and have since upgraded to Creative Cloud on my own Mac.
    The Adobe Application Manager is still stuck on my husband's Mac. I have uninstalled the entire CS5 suite, (I downloaded a trial version to his computer at least two years ago), run the Adobe Cleaner, and also used CleanMyMac. The updated with the number is still stuck in his menu bar.
    I tried to reinstall the Adobe Application Manager this morning, from the Adobe website, but I am receiving an error on the installation. HELP! This computer does not have any of the Adobe Creative Suite products anymore, so I can't open the Application Manager and disable it. I did try to open his Adobe Reader, and click on Check For Updates, but that just tells me that Adobe Reader is up-to-date.

    Let's see...
    Ok - In the Language tab everything's listed (and probably has been since 2008) with English at the top - so I'll delete everything except English and reboot.
    And... I'll be darned.  Now the AAM UI is in English.
    So I wonder why this has never cropped up in the 4+ years I've been running this rig?
    Oh well - this workaround will get me through the installs, but it seems like the AAM could use a little polish in this area
    Thanks!

  • Windows slide under Menu Bar

    I've noticed recently that I can make application windows slide under the Menu Bar.  Some slide under then 'snap' back into view when I release the mouse button holding the window down.  Others that don't display the grey bar at the top of the window (like the iTunes mini player for example) don't 'snap' back into view.
    Anyone else have this issue or offer a solution?  I am running 10.8.5.  Thanks.

  • While running or when being minimized Firefox disappears off screen and off of menu bar ( bottom bar ) ??

    When I am running firefox and minimize it ( or sometimes not even then ) it completely disappears off the screen and off the bottom menu bar, so it is still running but I am unable to see it or access it. If I open it again I would not have all my saved tabs, so the only way I have been able to deal with it so far is to open the task manager and ask it close firefox ( I cannot access the applications tab in task manager either ) then I have to reopen firefox. Needless to say this is annoying and a waste of time. It has happened since the upgrade, in fact, I have had several problems since the upgrade but it is mostly worked around. Since the upgrade it is much slower than before too.

    No, I did not hit the x and firefox will still be running when I look up the processes on windows task manager it just is invisible and not on the menu bar. It is a weird problem I have never had happen before. Yeah, what you said about using the alt control and delete to access the task manager process is what I have had to do and I've had to end the process to close it and then open it again.
    I would like to find a way to just bring it up again or not have it become invisible. In fact it is invisble on my menu bar right now even though i am typing in it and it is obviously running but the screen of it is visible while it is invisible on the menu bar this time. weird, I know.

  • How can I configure my Macbook Air to always show the menu bar when in full-screen?  I hate, hate, hate it popping up and then going away all the time.

    I cannot find a way to change this in System Preferences.  When I have applications open full screen, my menu bar disappears.  Then when I try to move between tabs, I find it is always popping up & then disappearing.  I really just want to set up my computer so that the menu bar always displays in the foreground. I find this popping up & disappearing intrusive and annoying.  How can I fix this?  I hate, hate, hate this about my MAC...
    I have searched the full User Guide, Quick Start Guide, etc.  and cannot find a way to fix this.

    Don't use the full screen arrow in the top right corner of the window.  Instead, use the green + in the top left corner.  That takes the window full screen just below the menu bar.

  • Menu bar is not visible, but neither is Full Screen mode button. How do I fix this?

    While I am in Firefox, it appears that I am in Full Screen mode, as my Menu Bar is missing while in the application, but when I looked up how to troubleshoot, it told me to click on the Full Screen mode button (with diagonal arrows) but it is not visible anywhere in my browser. How else can I get out of Full Screen mode? Thank you!

    On Mac you can use: command+Shift+F

  • Keep menu bar visible in all full-screen apps?

    Where is the system-level setting to ensure that, even when I maximize an application, the menu bar is still visible. I don't like having to move the mouse to see the battery life, wifi signal, date etc. I'm on Yosemite, if it matters. To be clear, I'm not looking for a workaround that will provide these various bits of information elsewhere. I want to know how to mandate the menu bar stay visible.

    swipe three fingers up to see the screen with all your apps spread out and at the top there will be windows with all your full screen apps.  go all the way to the right of that with your mouse at the top and a window with a  + sign will stick out from the side of the screen.  Click it and it will create a second desktop.  then if you put an app in full screen** in each desktop (and hide the dock) your screen will keep the menu bar and you will still be able to flip between open apps just as if they were full screen!!
    EDIT - I meant if you maximize an app on each desktop.. sorry

  • Can anyone tell me how to increase the text size in my menu bar and drop down menus?

    Just bought a new 27" screen iMac.  The menu bar and drop down menu text is much to small for me to see without leaning close to the screen.  Does anyone know how to customize the text to a larger size.  This is an issue for any program I open.

    Once upon a time Apple displays packed in 72 dots to an inch (making their resolution 72 DPI). That meant that what we saw on screen at 100% scale was exactly what was printed on a printer - not to mention quite comfortable to read. However that advantage was eclipsed by the fact that photopgraphs and video were pixelated and the only solution to that was to increase the resolution - to pack in more dots per inch - which has the side effect of shrinking the size of text. Where I once used Word at 100% scale I now find it most comfortable at 150% scale.
    There are several solutions. One, as Lex gave you, was to reduce the resolution of the LCD display. But unlike CRT displays, an LCD is tuned to a specific resolution and when you change it the results tend to be blurry. Another is to keep the resolution as it is and to adjust each program (if the program allows it). This makes Word usable and your browser can be set to use no font smaller than a size you set (which has some unpleasant side affects at some Web sites), but some programs and some parts of programs cannot be changed. The menubar and menus are among them. The third solution is one that Apple promised several years ago but has not yet provided - a resolution independant GUI. We can only hope that comes soon. And there's another partial solution - look in System Preferences under Accessibility.

  • Cs4/Cs5 PS - Menu bar drives me nuts

    Is that possible to eliminate that gap between the top menu bar and the top screen edge?
    It's very irritating that when I move my mouse to the top edge I cannot unfold menus with a click. I have to move the pointer down
    a bit. It's like shooting ducks and hinders work.
    I saw that in Cs4 trial  but hoped it would be brought back to normal in cs5 when finally I want to upgrade.
    Hope I'm missing some settings...
    Joey33

    Yes Jesper, couldn't be further from truth - the area at the top alongside the edge is for functionalities reserved for windows, not necessarily for unfolding menus.
    However, previous versions (at least the ones I've been using 7-9) allowed for 3 modes of workspace - 1 stnd and 2 full screen (with and without menu bar).
    The difference with CS4/Cs5 is that when working in mode 2 - full screen + menu bar, you can NO LONGER access/unfold menus by clicking at the very edge of the screen.
    Since I've grown used to that for years, it's really frustrating and odd that it has been changed. Apart from keyboard shortcuts I do use menu a lot and now
    the workflow is hindered indeed.
    It was simultaneous with the 'application frame' introduced in CS4 - probabaly then this dead area in full screen mode appeared.
    To be precise and well-understood - it is an issue in FULL SCREEN PLUS MENU BAR.
    Regards,

  • Strange icon appears in the menu bar randomly

    I'm using a late '13 macbook pro retina and recently I've noticed that a strange icon will popup in the menu bar somewhat randomly, though it seems to appear most when I access certain websites (ebay is the one I've noticed it happen the most).
    The icon is between the power level and the date and time and appears in the spot where the keyboard language icon usually is. When I try to click the icon nothing happens and it just opens the language drop down menu. It disapears after a few seconds but when it appears a strange black flicker will appear at the top of my screen just below the menu bar.
    Thanks
