Open Messages app from menu bar?

without creating a new message thread?
Or do I need to go to Applications to actually open the app?

Hi,
If the App is Quit then either the Applications Folder, Launch Pad or the Dock to open the app.
In the Menu Bar icon is displayed (See General Section of the Preferences) it will only open the app as a Process of creating a New Messages entry in the main window.
Or to answer the questions as posed.
No
and Yes.

  • Error message on the menu bar

    since installing 7, we get a very long error message in our menu bar: Uh oh! Error while rendering XUL: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: replacement at Vesdia. Toolbar.Handlers.GenericHandler.RenderInterface(String TemplateLoggedIn, String templateLoggedOut) in d:Bamboo.home.3.1\xml-data\build-dir\TOOLBAR-PROD-JOB\Libraries\Toolbar\G....
    I uninstalled and re-installed, but nothing changed.

    Try below steps once
    click Gear icon on the top Right corner and Quit Creative Cloud App
    Click on Finder and then hold Command + Shift + G keys on your keypad
    It will open Go to folder window, type  exactly ~/Library and click on Go
    Make sure to open ~/Library not /Library (  there will be two Library folders )
    Then open Application Support > Adobe folders
    Trash AAMUpdater and OOBE folders.
    Then launch Creative Could and check.

  • How can i completely delete message app from my mac?

    how can i completely delete the message app from my mac?

    As per email.
    Hi,
    In the Finder (have any window open), Use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
    This will show the Library in the Menu, select this.
    Navigate to the Preferences folder.
    Find the com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.madrid.plist file and drag it to the Trash.
    This is the one Messages reads directly to create the Receive At list and, if shown, the Start Conversations From drop down.
    If Messages was starting properly and you restarted it at the point you would have to re-enter the Apple ID.
    On the iPhone.
    Go to Settings > Messages  and check the app is ON first.
    Then check the Send and Receive Section.
    This will always list the iPhone Number as ticked and Greyed out (You can’t edit it).
    Having said that I have twice found the Number to be Unchecked (whilst still grey out).
    If this is the case go to the Apple ID section and Remove the Apple ID.
    This will also remove it from the Send and Receive section (you can’t do it the other way round.)
    Once that is done, place the iPhone in Airplane mode to break with the Servers.
    After a few minutes take it out of Airplane Mode and return to Setting > Messages
    You should see the iPhone Number being Verified. Wait until this is done.
    (I would normally suggest sending an iMessage to the Apple ID at this point as it would be the only Active ID on the Mac. And sending a reply)
    You can now add the Apple ID back to the iPhone if you wish to use that as well, if you intend to use it.
    If not then you way want this site https://selfsolve.apple.com/deregister-imessage
    Please stick to one method of asking me  (The thread will do for now.)
    I am here 3 hours every evening.
    I read all the new post regarding email alerts from the boards.
    I then filter the Yosemite, Mavericks and iChat Areas using the Contents page and where require Messages or iMessages and deal with unread one.
    Posting here at 2.41PM (according to the Time view I have) and then emailing me 11 minutes later seems like you are giving me the hurry up.
    In the email and this Post you are not clear if you want Messages to work again.
    Removing the com.apple.ichat.plist may help with that.  (The Status Message one will not)
    You may find checking the Font Book and the AppleGothic Font  is the answer.

  • Remove name from menu bar + possible bugs?

    Hello, I was wondering if it were possible to remove my name from the Menu bar. It currently says my full name and is clickable, dropping down to my icon and a link to the Login Window and Users & Groups Preferences (but there's no option to remove it in these preferences!) Thanks!
    Also, Is there a thread where we can post bugs we come across? Becuase I've found a couple.
    I'll post them here for now:
    1) When I go into Finder > Preferences, the menu box flickers strangely when I switch between the option tabs (General, Labels, Sidebar, Advanced).
    2) Scrolling left and right through folders in the Column view is hesitant. It doesn't flow smoothly like it does when I scroll up and down.
    If there's anywhere I can report these bugs, please let me know!

    name from menu bar:
    the easy way: hold command and then drag the name icon out of the menu bar (just like how you remove stuff from the dock with the difference of pressing command while you do it).
    the less easy way: open system prfs -> Users and groups [press locket if locked] then click login options and uncheck fast user switching menu

  • Eject disc from menu bar & Hardware Test Disc Questions??

    After upgrade to 10.4.5 on my G5 2.5 DP, I notice the little underscored triangle thing is gone from the menu bar.
    Any way to get it back? Kinda handy for open & closing the disc drive and ejecting discs. The other ways I know and use, but sorta fond of doing from menu bar.
    Also, notice there's no Hardware test disc with Tiger. Where'd that go? O.k. to run the one from 10.3?
    Additionally, what happens if you run it without pulling out all 3rd party PCI cards?
    Thanks, p2
    G5 DP 2.5   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    "Any way to get it back?"
    Double Click on: /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/Eject.menu
    "Where'd that go?"
    It's not on retail copies of OS X. Use the one that came with your computer.
    "what happens if you run it without pulling out all 3rd party PCI cards?"
    Nothing should happen.

  • Just installed OSX Mavericks.Bluetooth disappeared from menu bar and system preferences. I have a magic mouse and my IMac no long recognizes it as such, nor can I scroll with it. What's wrong?

    Just installed OSX Mavericks. Bluetooth disappeared from menu bar and system preferences panel. I use a Magic Mouse but my iMac no longer recognizes it as such, and I can no longer use it to scroll screen. What happened?

    Since Mavricks installed: My Spotlight icon disappears from the menu bar, but the space stays there. If I click on the blank space where the
    spotlight icon is supposed to be - the spotlight menu opens. So, for me, the icon is there, it works except that it is invisible at times. IF I do a re-start it is there. If I let the computer set, sleep or other wise stay on for days, the icon will hide and re-appear at random.

  • I have a problem when try to select any of option from menu bar

    I have problem with mozilla since last update. When try to use any of options from menu bar, this appears:

    Also, i uploaded video to show how my problem appear.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shZGaZ0-_po

    thanks for reporting back with your details - turning off HWA might have slight negative effects on the performance/rendering speed of the browser but it shouldn't impact any functionality.
    i've seen a handful similar threads by users mentioning this issue since they've upgraded to firefox 18. so when it is a widespread problem, mozilla might further investigate this & offer a fix in a later version...

  • Open "project.app" from "project.osx"

    Hi everyone,
    I created a Director splash using Director MX2004 on WindowsXP. I published my project for Mac ("project.osx"). I also have a seperate project created in Flash CS4 that was published for Mac ("project.app"). Using buddyAPI, I cannot open "project.app" from a button used on "project.osx". Is this even possible to do? I cannot find any type of documentation on this issue...
    thank you in advance for your help.
    Rafael.

    Well.... I figured it out. I changed my delimiter to ":" for Mac (instead of "\"). Also, I was NOT telling it to open "project.app", I was telling it to open "project.osx".

  • How do I delete items from menu bar  that are not part of the OS

    How do I delete items from menu bar  that are not part of the OS

    Perhaps you could be more specific, as it is a little difficult to answer your question without any details.  I can give you some general ideas though.
    On my machine there are a few applications that have installed items into the menu bar - I'm assuming you are talking about the icons on the right hand side of the top bar. To remove those items, I would generally need to uninstall the program that created them. To do this varies a little from application to application.
    Also, sometimes an application will have preferences that allow you choose if you want to display the item in the menu bar.
    So, my general advice would be that you need to identify the application that placed the item there, and remove it from your computer.  If there is an uninstall program for that application, I would run that in the first instance.
    If you don't actually wish to uninstall the application, you may need to click on the item or run the application and see if there is a setting to not show the menu bar item.
    Hope that helps.

  • Its possible to open an app from IOS on MAC?

    I have a med app on iphone that i want to open on mac to study. since it have small letters and a lot of stuff, it would be much easier if i open it on mac.
    So, its possible to open an app from IOS on MAC?

    No. The iPhone and Mac are totally different hardware architecture. Software compiled for one will not run on the other.
