Quicktime Title Bar - Two help menus ?

Hi
In the Quicktime Title bar I have two help tabs ? How do I get rid of one please?
Regards
Nick.

It's caused by the DivX component (a third party codec).
Remove it from your HD/Library/QuickTime folder and relaunch QuickTime.
Search for a Tiger compatible version.

Quicktime 7.0.3 - Two Help menus?

I've just installed QT Player 7.0.3 on Tiger. I just happened to glance upwards to the top of the screen and noticed that the menu bar now offers the following menus: File, Edit, View, Window, Help ... and Help again. Has anyone else seen two "Help" menus?

Try removing the older divx codec and install this. The site specifically mentions that it eliminates the double help menu problem.

Two Help Menus? o.O

I've just added a help book to my cocoa application, and after compiling I noticed something strange: suddenly there were two Help menus (one with a search and the other without it). They both link to my help book, but one doesn't show in Interface Builder! How to remove it?
Has anyone else had this issue, and managed to fix it?

You can replace it with DivX Fusion

Two help menus

Hi Everyone,
I have a bit of a weird problem with Pages. I have two help menus. The second one only has Pages Help in it but it doesn't work. The other one has the origional settings and works fine. Does anyone know how to remove the second one. I would just reinstall Pages if I could but I'm on a trip and I left the install DVD at home.
Chris

Hi Eric
Thanks for the help.
I tried your suggestion without success. I also tried creating a test user account and login in with that but unfortunately Pages still has two help menus. I have no problem with any other program so I don't know what the deal is. I suspect I'll have to trash pages completely and do a reinstall. I even tried reapplying the Pages 1.0.2 update again.
Can you think of anything else. It doesn't cause any problems it just looks annoying.

Duplicate menu - two help menus in iWork '08 programs

After installing iWork '08 I have two Help menus side by side, only in iWork '08 programs - Pages, Numbers, Keynote. The first Help menu lists all the items the menu should properly have, the second only lists, e.g., " "Pages Help". I've fixed permissions, optimized the drive, checked Voice Over (off), reset Help, reset the prebindings. Finally, I deleted the suite along with its plists and package receipt. After reinstalling, same problem. Any help with removing the second Help menu would be appreciated.

I just ran across this exact same problem. Help Files weren't opening in the 30 Day Trial, so I uninstalled (drug iWork to the trash) and re-installed iWork. I now can't say if I had 2 Help menues before or not.
The only "hacks" I have running are Clear Dock and Quicksilver.
I don't see any other misbehavior with the software, and the Help files now open for me. Just odd all the way around.

Why have I got TWO help menus in iCal?

Why have I got two Help menus in iCal, one beside the other? I'd post a screen shot but I can't find any way to do that.

Try going to System Preferences>iCloud, uncheck Mail, restart your Mac, then go back and check Mail again. See if that doesn't eliminate one of them.

Title Bar Drop downs

Has anyone noticed that the title bar drop down menus highlight with an Windows XP blue color that is different than all the blue used in the apps drop downs. The graphite is the same but there is a new (ugly) blue on the drop downs. Or is it just me?

It is not just you -- I had the same reaction. Yuck -- looks like something right out of Windows. And there are only two options in the Appearance pane -- Blue (which looks in the pref pane like a nicer aqua blue) and Graphite. Neither is appealing.

Safari title bar has two different colors

Ever since installing Mountain Lion, Safari's title bar is two different colors: behind the title of the page, and the bookmark bar are both dark grey:
I deleted .plists and whatnot, and that didn't work. Also, I created a new user profile, and the colors are correct. Help!

After doing some digging, I found this:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4141536?start=0&tstart=0
and this:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19038993#19038993
Also, I enabled the debug menu in Safari and clicked "Use Buffered Windows," and this is the result:
Compared to my girlfriend's computer (brand-spankin' new, right out of the box), this still isn't 100% correct, but it is close.
Also, I checked console (after I unchecked "Use Buffered Windows"), and it says "Invalid unbuffered shadow parameters." Does anyone know what that means or how to fix it?

Why do I have two title bars - one with the title of the page I'm looking at and another with the new orange drop down menu? Plus I can't get FF4 to save my tabs, even when I go to about:config, why is that?

I downloaded FF4, thinking that it would merely update from my previous installation, but all my tabs were gone. FF looks really weird - here is a link to a picture of it: http://tinypic.com/r/2mwdus4/7 - I have two title bars, my bookmarks toolbar is missing and the tabs are on the bottom. If I go to view => toolbars and click one of them, suddenly the second title bar (with the orange menu) disappers and my bookmarks toolbar comes back (even if I don't click on it in "view"). I can't get the browser to remember my tabs between sessions even though I set it to remember them in my settings. I even changed the browser.showQuitWarning to true in about:config, but it didn't work. What is going on?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

How to get rid of title bar of a quicktime window?

The main problem:
I want to display the title info etc about each track as they play in iTunes. How can I do that on an otherwise black screen (desktop) (I don't want to use the visualizer with its psychedelic patterns).
Background:
I want to play music from iTunes (many pieces in a row - for like a full day). While this is happening I want the title etc of the tune to be displayed on the screen, like white smallish text against a black background in the lower right hand corner. At the same time I want slides to be displayed on the screen.
So, with iPhoto I can run a slide show but only while one piece of music is playing.
Instead I can have the desktop slowly change (from system preferences) with images from a folder every 5 seconds. That's not too bad. Looks good, actually, except for that annoying menu bar at the top! Well, black tape can hide that one (or a second display and move it over there). Now iTunes can play away all day.
As to how to get the title etc of the song playing displayed I was thinking about somehow extracting it from iTunes with applescript, then paste it into the text track of a quicktime movie, and display that little movie in a small window. I have figured out how to get rid of the controller from the window. But, I can not figure out how to get the title bar of the quicktime window to go away - that is I want a window with nothing around it, neither controllers nor title bar nor anything. How do I create such a window. Any good ideas out there?
Or is there a totally different way of obtaining the same effect?
Thanks.
G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi,
You could try posting at the QuickTime discussion area. There might be an iTunes visualizer that allows you to make a slideshow with track info. It has been a while since I tried making a SMIL file, but I think you could do what you want with that. Not sure how you create a streaming text of track information. I would have to do some reviewing.

Help - How to Remove X on the Dialog Title Bar

I have been trying for a while to remove the X(Close) on the Jdialog title bar. Is this possible? Is there an alternative? I have a progress bar in the JDialog and don't want to user to X out....
appeciate the help.

Use setUndecorated(true) to remove the entire titlebar...
otherwise it is not possible to just hide the close button b/c it is provided by the OS's window manager. Try using a JWindow instead.

Hide the title bar of a movie window like QuickTime X

Love the feature of QuickTime X of not showing the title bar/the control bar of a movie window (still waiting for Pro version, though. Is it coming out at all?)
I'm wondering if anyone has figured out a way/tweak to hide the title bar of a iTunes movie window like QuickTime X.
Thanks.

What child window are you referring to? Do you mean a browser window opened with web.show_document?
If so, you can use javascript to hide browser toolbars and so on. Search the forum for some javascript examples where windows are opened with toolbar=no.

Interrogation/help button on dialog title bar?

Do you know any way to insert a button with an interrogation mark on the title bar of a JDialog, as to get help?

Check out the link in this thread:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=421&threadID=658852 -
This API is for frames, not dialogs, but maybe you could make it work for you somehow.

Help: title bar permanently stuck under parent title bar

I am using the program Jalview, which is a Java-based protein/DNA sequence alignment editor. This program works by opening a parent window, within which all subsequent windows are opened. My problem is that the title bar of one of these sub-windows (ie: the only part which you can click on to drag the window around) has become trapped under the title bar of the parent window. Saving my work, closing the program then re-loading has not helped as the program saves the windows open inside the parent window as a "session" and remembers the location of each window - so my window of interest always ends up back in the same place stuck under the title bar!
Title bars getting stuck under things is an infuriating bug that I often encounter when using Macs, but never to this extent.
Thanks for your time.

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
I would ask if the app has a Window Menu and whether this lists the window ?
If so can it be brought to the "Front" so that you can grab it ?
If not I would go to your Home Folder/Library/Preferences and find the .plist for the app.
I would highlight it and use Quick Look to read through the info - mainly to check it is not containing stuff you want to keep/not lose.
The info may contain the window location info.
If the .plist does not contain other stuff that is important and cannot be reset I would delete it.
The next time the app is started up it will read defaults and windows will be back to their default positions.
Edit:-
Most apps written for Macs have the tool bar button top right of the Header (White/non coloured oblong tablet shaped button) If you use this the Tool Bar the apps has can be turned Off - which might just make the title Bar area small enough to grab the partially hidden window.
