Photoshop Elements 8 top Menu bar?

Hi everyone,
I have just bought Photoshop Elements 8 after using PSE5 for about 18 months or so. I am having difficulty in reading the top menu bar where the black text is shown against a very dark grey (dark sea grey in model aeroplane terms). Can any one tell me if it is possible to change the colour/shade of this top menu bar to some more easily visible combination, say something like PSE5, with which I had no problems?
Many thanks in advance.
Dr. How.

Unfortunately, your only options are that, or the white on black (preferences>general), which is actually less awful for most people (a bit more contrast), but still not good.

Photoshop elements 6 menu bar

how do i get the left side of my menu bar in photoshop elements 6, to show the edit, file, view, find, window and help buttons. Only the camera and little house show up. The only thing that shows is a tiny arrow which is barely visible. All was okay the first time I installed to another computer (which has since crashed). The reinstalling of photoshop the second time is causing the above problem.

Thankyou soooooooooo much Kelly. What an easy fix for something that was driving me crazy. Again, THANKS.

If your on a windows system and talking about the menus in the organizer, then you probably need to set the dpi scaling as per the the instructions here: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/menus-missing-elements-8- 9.html

New Mac mini and Panasonic 37LZD70 can't see top menu bar.

Hi I have just converted and got a new mac mini to make into a media centre and am plugging it into a Panasonic 37LZD70.
For some reason I am missing the top menu bar. I have tried all the different display sizes in the settings box, but all of them seem to miss the top menu bar.
Anyone know how I can get it to fit correctly?
TIA

go to system preferences and click displays and then click the options tab and make sure that over scan is turned off

I can no longer see the top menu bar in itunes. where you see the status of syncing. where you have the option to click and move a song you are playing to the middle of the song, etc.

It's iTunes screen menubar:

My Wifi doesn´t work. The Wifi icon on top menu bar states there is no hardware connected. How can I resolve this as previously Wifi connection worked perfectly. Is this something that to do with the computer hardware? Please advise.

My current situation: I have soooo many texts on my iphone and I haven't deleted many because I need the information contained in them for future reference and for legal purposes. I would really like to find a means and way to save them other than on the phone itself. I've done searches for various apps yet I'm not finding what I think I would need. It appears Apple does not sync the texts between the iphone and my MacBook Pro.
Try the computer apps PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):

Best of luck.

May be slightly simple question from a new Mac user: Why can't I quit safari? I cannot quit it from top menu bar neither to do it from dock? All other apps are working normally.

Or you can actived the right button on your magic mouse and click on they icon in the dock. then you select "stop" and it's out of your dock.

Please Help SL - Everything 'quits unexpectedly' and top menu bar flashing

Please Help. Snow Leopard - Everything 'quits unexpectedly' and top menu bar flashing.
Basically, I have been using snow leopard for about 1-2 weeks now without any problems, apart from the strange trackpad expose glitch, but I can live with that. But a new problem has arisen that I CANNOT live with. Basically I plugged in my MiniDisplay > VGA adaptor and a Wacom internet tablet for the first time. And when it booted up rather than just the usual spinning gear, their was a progress bar as-well. Then it booted into Safe Mode.?
Everything was fine in safe mode apart from spotlight didn't work properly so I rebooted and this time it loaded normally. EXCEPT about 5 minutes after I logged on the top menu bar started to flash on and off about ever 1-2 seconds and virtually every single application would quit unexpectedly before even loading. I haven't really looked into it apart from a quick search on google which doesn't seem to bring up anything similar, but atm I am having to use my bootcamp partition with windows installed (shock horror :D) just so I can browse the internet.
Additional details -
I have tried resetting PRAM + NVRAM with no joy
While logging on (before it crashes), menu items (e.g. Airport, Battery Indicator, Facebook Notifier) all load up on the far right BEFORE the clock, which never happened before the problem, don't know if this will help isolate the problem, but its worth mentioning..
Don't really want to go down the fresh install route if possible, as I did this with leopard about 2 months before Snow Leopard was released

I noticed it some weeks after installing Snow Leopard, and didn't think much about it since I have a Wacom mouse, and the Wacom driver often has some little peculiarities at startup with the Mac OS--sometimes everything is perfectly ordinary, there will be an OS update and a little oddness shows up, the driver eventually gets updated and the oddness disappears until some other OS update, and so on. I just figured that was what it was until my brother asked about the missing the menu bar after startup, which reappears with a click. He doesn't use a Wacom mouse, but he does have some other 3rd party mouse. I don't know whether 3rd party mouse drivers are at fault or not. But it is not a problem with the SystemUIServer.....the entire menu bar is missing, not just a goof-up on the Spotlight end, where SystemUIServer is in charge of things. Since simply clicking the mouse brings the menu bar up I've never even bothered to check the logs to see if anything is noted there.

Does your question involve iPhoto in some way?

I clicked on the angled arrows in upper right corner and lost my top menu bar, the one with the apple. How do I get it back?

Restart your computer.

Where has my top menu bar 'Logic pro x, file, edit, track, etc' gone?

Yes, a noob question but your assistance would be appreciated as I am trying to rewire Reason through Logic.
The top menu bar was there, but now it is not.
Where is it hidden please?

In the screenshot you provided Logic Pro X is running in Full Screen Mode not Windowed mode
When looking at the main Logic Pro X screen... If you move your mouse pointer to the very top of the screen the menu bar should drop down and appear
If it does not then...
To put Logic Pro X into Windowed mode when looking at Logic Pro X press Control + Command + F together....
Now you should see the Logic Pro X menu bar at the top of the screen
It will look something like this...

Missing icon in top menue bar...

hi there, unfortunately the ichat status icon in the top menue bar (next to airport, sound, battery icon) seems to have disappeared also ichat is still running properly...
how do i add the icon to the bar again?
thanks

Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, enter /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/ as the folder's path, and then double-click the item iChat.menu inside. You may need to add this item to the Accounts pane of System Preferences as a login item for your account.

Unknown icon in top menu bar

I discovered an unknown icon in my top menu bar. It is a blue "S" with a small drawn picture of a guy with brown hair, facing left, in front of it.
When clicked, it performs no action, it is just sitting there, apparently doing nothing. I cannot seem to find a way to get rid of it, nor does it show any pop-up message. Anybody got ideas?

I have tried it wih AppZapper and also zapped the last 4 apps I installed . No effect on the icon. The S behind the guy's drawing goes dark blue at startup, and then slightly transparent when fully started. It looks like some activity, but no clue as to what it is. It looks like a virus or something.
Only thing I can think of is the installation of a Samsung printer driver...

Top menu bar becomes blotchy on my macbook air

When the computer is fresh from start up the top menu bar of my macbook air is fine but as soon as I open any applications such as Safari, the menu bar goes blotchy as if it has some shadowy effect on the words.
It started happening just yesterday and my air is pretty new- like a little more than a month old?

You may try this applescript program.
log " --- Starting on " & ((current date) as string) & " --- "
-- percent
set volume output volume 35 without output muted
Start the AppleScript Editor
/Applications/AppleScript/Script Editor.app
In Snow Leopard it's at: /Applications/Utilities/AppleScript Editor
Copy the script text to the Applescript editor.
Save the text to a file as an application and do not check any of the boxes below.
If you want access to the script from your Script Menu, move the script (the saved script application file) to your
~/Library/Scripts folder. You can also drag it to your Dock or make an alias for it on the Desktop.<br><br>
To debug, run the script within the Applescript Editor. Click on the event log tab at the bottom of the window. Click on the run icon. The results from the log statement will be shown at the bottom of the screen.

Top Menu Bar

Hi,
I need to know if you can move or make the top menu bar disapear - I have a program that opens up and the top part of the program is hidden underneath it and I can't move the window to get to the programs controls.
Thanks for the help.
John

Hi thehbull1,
I don't know what application you talking about, but did you try to trash the preferences of that application.
After you did it will be open normally.
Also you can try to drag the application window smaller an drag it by holding the mouse button down until the menu is visible again.
But I would try the first option first.
Good luck ...
