Problem with contextual menus after 10.9.3 update

Hello, since the update to 10.9.3 i am experiencing problems with contextual menus. The problem is more frequent when I use an external screen.
First problem: I am losing the icons in the top bar of the finder. This happens mostly on external screens.
Second problem: The arrows indicating submenus upon a right click are lost. This problem is also present when I use the internal screen of my Macbook.
Sometimes, the icons in the left menu bar of the finder are also lost (mostly Dropbox):
Is there anything I can do? Is this a known problem?
My current system:
Macbook Pro Retina 13" (late 2013)
2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
8 Gb Ram
Intel Iris
Thanks!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

    I've been using it on all of my computer without any problems. Remember you won't see any positive comments here. Everyone here is complaining about a problem. If you want a good experience with any upgrade or update first make a backup from which you can boot the computer. If you are installing an update, like 10.10.3 for example, always download and install the Combo Updater - OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 Combo Update. Before you install any update or upgrade over an existing system you should do this:Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list.  Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.

  • Problem with Pages 09 after latest Snow Leopard Update

    I upgraded Snow Leopard with the latest update this afternoon, and now I am having all sorts of problems with Pages. Most importantly, the Pages templates are all messed up, with formatting all screwed up and the typesetting a mess. Has anyone else experienced such problems with Pages after the update? I may have to revert back to pre-update Snow Leopard if this can't be resolved, since I use Pages for my work. Any assistance here would be appreciated!

    You can install the combo over the delta (Software Update version). I did after I inadvertently used Software Update on my MacBook Pro. That's what I get for trying to update 3 Macs at one time.
    Here is the link to the Mac OS 10.6.4 combo updater.

  • Problems with Wireless connection AFTER 10.4.2 update

    I have read several topics on wireless problems AFTER the 10.4.2 update and wondering if anyone (or Apple) has found a fix to this problem. I cant get to my network or the internet via airport. I have tried zapping the pram, resetting the permissions, rebooting, checking for more update on a wired connection, reinstalling both 10.4.2 combo and 4.2 update and still nothing. This happened RIGHT after the reboot upon completion of the update. Im stuck and wondering if anyone has a solution or has any one SUCCESSFULLY contacted Apple and have they got a solution to fix the problem??

    I'm having the same problems with accessing my airport base station (first generation snow at 4.0.9) after loading the airport admin 4.2 patch. I loaded the 4.2 patch on my g5 and G4 running 10.3.9. The response/across of the wifi connection is very poor. I can't use chicken of the VNC to manage the G4 from the G5 anymore at all due to the slow response and accessing the internet via either the G4 or the G5 is like a dial up connection. The broadband speed test results are 192mb to 274mb up and similar down.
    I have a 12"powerbook (DVI 1gig version) with 10.3.9 that I have not loaded the 4.2 patch on and I am not having any issues with wifi access to the base station or the internet. broadband logs in right at 2.8mb via DSL. I also have a Dell laptop that I access the internet through the airport base station and I have no issues with speed and the same 2.8mb broadband speed test results.
    Conclusion something in the airport 4.2 patch has changed the airport cards ability to see the base station.
    With all that said, my question is - How do I back out of the 4.2 airport admin patch provided by apple or how do I resolve the slow response times between the airport cards in the G4 and G5 and the base station?
    Any help?

  • Problems with re-boot after new OS X update

    I installed the OS X update this past weekend on my MacBook Pro. Since then, my computer freezes and has benn running uncharacteristically slow. Re-boot takes nearly 30 minutes and the computer gets really warm. I've had this computer for 2.5 years and have never had a problem with it until now. I'm in grad school and this computer is my lifeline at the moment. I've tried running disk verify but it hasn't really worked. Please help!

    I have the same problem - I'm afriad it seems to be yet another Apple "issue" which they pretend doesn't happen.  There's a thread here on it - Re: USB keyboard doesn't work on Thunderbolt display . 
    I haven't tried their solution, though I would be surprised if it worked!

  • Problem with mission control after 10.7.2 update

    After I updated to 10.7.2, when I swipe into mission control then select a different app with the spacebar then swipe back out of mission control, the menu bar on the top does not switch to the new app, it stays as the previous open app. But, if I click on the new app instead of using the spacebar then the menu bar switches correctly. Is anyone else having this problem?

    I have had the same issue since initial 10.7.0 install.  Doesn't seem to affect function at all.. but disconcerting nonetheless.  I have yet to find anything acknowleding the problem or how to fix it. 

  • TS1398 I have never had a problem with Apple. After the 7.02 update, my Wifi grayed out and would not turn on. Now my Wifi turns on but it will not connect. I even typed in the name and it still won't connect.  I have tried all of apple's solutions.

    I have tried all the solutions apple has offered online. I will not reset my phone to factory settings unless it is a last resort. What is Apple doing to fix this? I had my last Iphone last for more than 2 years and I hve had this one less than a year. My Wifi was greyed out and now it's on but won't connect or locate any networks (but if I keep switching it on and off it will freeze on me again). Does Apple have plans to fix this problem because I refuse to purchase a new phone?
    Are there any other new solutions to try in fixing the Wifi that doesn't require freezing or heating up the phone or switching to airplane mode and resetting the network settings as well making sure it's up todate or changing the apostrophe in the phone's name? My phone has never been dropped or damaged. Everyone around the world seems to be having this problem and Apple does not seem to be making a move to fix it? I use this phone for everything and 4g will only last so long before I reach my monthly limit. Please help!!!!!!!!!

    that makes no sense... it was only doing an update... if that's the case it should have promted me to back up first if this is even possible... there is a program that says it can recovery anything that hasn't been written over yet.. so would this not work? http://www.iphone-data-recovery.com/iphone-data-recovery.html   or would the apple store be able to recover it??? i've done plenty of data recovery on computers... why wouldn't it be possible on an Iphone... does apple seriously not care about thier customers at all??? how about thier employees that are gonna get more than an earful tomorrow when I walk in there store??? No wonder samsung paid 2 million to apple in pennies when they got sued... (how does it feel to be screwed with apple?!)

  • Problems with security certificate after 6.0.5 update

    I recently updated to Safari 6.0.5 on 10.7 and have since experienced problems logging into my ISPs customer section. All I get is the below error message relating to the cecurity certificate:
    The first certificate has obviously expired, but it doesn't matter which of the two I select. Access is denied in either case and I'm unable to proceed.
    This has only started after installing a recent system update. It's also worth noting that this is happens on both Macs in our home.
    For the moment I'm using Firefox, which works fine, but I would like to resolve this if possible.
    Any hints would be very much apprecaited.

    The server isn't accepting the certificate. You'd have to contact the administrator to find out why.

  • Problems with network access after applying batch of updates

    Hi all,
    Yesterday, I've applied a batch of updates to my Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V server. All went good, but after the reboot I was not able to access... Microsoft website for update download, or WSUS to Report and detect updates.
    For my troubleshooting I did:
    ping www.microsoft.com (DNS goes well)
    With Wireshark running, did a http request to www.microsoft.com and I don't see any request leaving the NIC. This goes to *.microsoft.com
    This happens either with or without Proxy set up.
    I've reset Internet Explorer Settings, all with no luck.
    When trying over our WSUS, I get error 80244019, and with wireshark I can see that WSUS may not be able to get the updates because it is replying with 404 not found.

    Seems to me two issues here. One I might workaround with deleting the WSUS content, and let WSUS resync(may solve).
    The other... It's strange because can't seem to have www.microsoft.com leave my nic...
    As part of the troubleshooting, I have two nics teamed, 1 nic for live migration, 1 nic for cluster network, and teaming, obviously has itself a single default gateway.
    What can I do to go forward?
    PS: One last finding. In WSUS this server does not report since 13th January at 11:00 a.m. I've forced it to report, and still no update/report
    Nuno Silva

    Hi Nuno,
    Do you mean that you can't see a HTTP request of
    www.microsoft.com when you access it with Internet Explorer?
    Can you successfully access the www.microsoft.com with the Internet Explorer? If yes, it should be normal. Because
    www.microsoft.com is a CNAME.
    >>but after the reboot I was not able to access... Microsoft website for update download, or WSUS to Report and detect updates.
    Please try to update from Microsoft Update. Then post the windowsupdate.log here. It may give some hints.
    Best Regards.

  • Problems with ITMS Videos after 1.1 Update

    OK, so there are lots of posts about video problems on 5G ipods after software update 1.1 and what encoding methods were used etc etc.
    After updating my 60GB iPod to 1.1 all my videos, including those purchased from the iTunes Music Store, suffer from audio problems.
    The video playback is fine, no freezing like others have mentioned, but I get loud popping and clicking sounds on the audio, particulalry at the start of a clip.
    Has ayone else experienced problems with video sound after the 1.1 update?
    Restoring to software 1.0 resolved the problem so there is definitely a problem with 1.1 and ITMS content.
    Apple need to sort this out. Fast.

    I foolishly did the 1.1 upgrade to my 60G iPod. I found that, as we all know by now, that all ov my videos that weren't from Quicktime Pro or purchased through iTunes hang after about 30 seconds, and then continues without any audio. But, the really obnoxious part is that my videos that I converted via QuickTime Pro suffered from very strange audio artifacts. These would fall into the category of clicks, purrs, warbles and other strange noises in addition to the audio that is supposed to be there. That pushed me over the line, and I "downgraded" my iPod back to release 1.0. I did the "restore" to completely erase my iPod and then re-loaded it from iTunes. I had already upgraded iTunes, and it has no problems with my now-restored-to-version 1.0 iPod. By the way, you have to edit a system file in order to do the downgrade: Put the ipod in harddisk mode. Edit the file (hidden folder and file) \iPod_Control\Device\SysInfo Replace the line that have the word "buildID" with this line:
    buildID: 0x05908000 (6.0)
    Then run the original iPod Updater to put 1.0 back onto it. This will leave you with the "feature" that any video that you change the Video Kind to TV Show will not show up on your iPod unless it's in a Video Play List. I actually like this, as it keeps the Video list from being cluttered up.

  • Reception / Battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1

    There are major reception and battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1.
    I can not believe that Apple did not test this for major bugs like this one is.
    I am a business user and can not effort to have bad reception. Apple wants to gain in the business clients... I never had this with my former BlackBerrys!
    I need a reliable phone not a play thing like this is right now, it just needs it to work propely. And if a major bug like this comes along, fix it immediately. After the iPhone4 story, now this...incredible! Going back to my reliable BlackBerry! It just ain't reliable and takes forever to fix a problem.

    I have the same issue after iOS 4.2.1 update. I am using iPhone 3GS officially unlocked by Apple. I tried using different SIM cards and both carriers show same problem when using phone in 3G mode. Phone falls back to EDGE mode showing 'E' from '3G' at start. I have reset the phone and rebooted several times and moved to different cell areas in the city just to verify the problem.
    I had no such issues earlier. I also have Nokia E71 which shows full signal and has no such issues.
    I have posted the bug on apple iphone feedback page. I hope they Apple will fix the problem and test the release properly on all models before releasing to public.

  • Problem with iWeb 09, after the publication in a local file.

    *Subject: problem with iWeb 09, after the publication in a local file, i can't see my blog, nor my photos, but before that all was working fine.*
    After the publication in the local file, I see all my pages, but there is a mistake on the page "Blog" where I just can see the top of my page, it's cut and I can't see it entirely, so I can't see the inputs while I should see 3 news or 3 inputs. And it's the same for the "Photos" page where the page is cut, I can't see the photos, and it's just written : "Put the slide show and subscribe".To finish, when I want to activate the comments, it doesn't work neither.
    Please help me.

    I want to activate the comments, it doesn't work neither.
    The comments feature is only available when you publish to the MobileMe server, so I don't think you can use it when you publish to a local file.

  • Has anyone had a problem with CS3 crashing after downloading OS 10.8.1 on a imac?

    Has anyone had a problem with CS3 crashing after downloading OS 10.8.1 on a imac? 

    Peggy
    You are probably correct. I tried all different variations to test it. As long as I quit each document separately, i.e., red dot it, I seem to bring up only one document after that whether I click on the document itself or open it within pages. The same is true with numbers.
    Two more questions:
    1) can you turn off the "resume" feature? If so, how? I could not find a way to do it.
    2) why the "save a version" feature in pages? What happened to the old "save" and "save as" features?
    Thanks so much, you saved me a lot of frustration but I am still going to install MS Office for Mac.

    Problems with Airport setup after buying Version 7 models, (older ones will not upgrade)
    I re set up my Airport network , having had 4 expresses for years doing a good job. I bought another and an express, but then a time capsule after my external drive died. .Problems with Airport setup after buying Version 7 models, (older ones will not upgrade)
    I moved house and have fibre network so 38mb/s - they all look ok on the utility, but its not till I saw the App version that they are not compatible as mac will not upgrade the version 6 ones, leaving me with 2 disjointed networks and 7 appliances, 4 of the old , 3 of the new.
    my new house is expansive so i wanted the extended range and airplay in each room.
    This is not told to customers, and utility doesnt show any issues.
    I do not seem to get any range from either network now, - and I'm quite experienced with airport (6 yrs of setting up & using & extending)
    Any advice ?
