Safari "quit" in menu bar dimmed, must force quit

Can't quit Sari from the menu bar -the option is dimmed. When using tabbed browsing, the "x" to close non-active tabs disappeared. Still experiencing random refreshes when clicking to make a tab active (Safari just presents a blank window).
Forced quit Safari, re-opened the browser, tabs were, for a moment, working properly, but after a period of time, for some unknown reason, the issue reoccured. Searches in the search box on safari (I use Google) do not auto populate results based on the term google believes I'm searching.

Make sure your software is up to date.
Click your Apple menu (top left in your screen) then click Software Update...

Might be a third party Safari add on causing the tabs issue. Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
Also, try emptying the Safari cache more often.

When I'm using Safari, acasionally the menu bar just disappears. I'm running the latest version of Lion and the latest version of Safari. This is not a full screen app problem. I have multiple windows open. This happens all the time! Firefox is fine! ???

When I'm using Safari, ocasionally the menu bar just disappears. I'm running the latest version of Lion and the latest version of Safari. This is not a full screen app problem. I have multiple windows open. This happens all the time! Firefox is fine! What the ****? Please help!

Right, like I'm trying to say, THERE IS NO SAFARI MENU bar. Example: I have multiple applications open, I click on a Photoshop window, the correct menu or title bar or whatever changes. Every other application window I click on brings up the correct "whatever" bar. If I click on the desktop, the "Finder Bar" shows up.
Everythiing else, BUT SAFARI, works the same way since OS X came out. This is ridiculous.
I'm getting the vibe that Apple is trying to get rid of the finder.... this is the way wrong direction.

BIG problems with iOS 8.2 Safari ("dark mode" menu bar, no auto-fill, etc)... HELP, please?

So I was simply wiping the dust off my screen, with Safari open, and once I had finished... Safari just went belly-up.
And I need some help badly.
First thing that I noticed was that Safari now has a "dark mode" menu bar.
Secondly, my auto-fill user names and passwords no longer "auto-fill" - I have to place the cursor in a field and have the keyboard pop up in order to access the auto-fill function: previously, the fields simply, well, auto-filled.
And, thirdly, when I attempt to post a message to the Apple Support Communities, there is no visible text in the body of the text. I'm using my MacBook Pro to type this message.
I have searched and searched to try to find remedies to my problems, but I can't find a thing. There's nothing unusual in Accessibility (that would make the whole screen, for example, grayscale), nothing changed in passwords, etc.
I'm at my wits end! Even restoring from an older backup doesn't remedy any of the problems.
Can anyone help?

If the menu bar at the top of Safari show white text on a grey background, and autofill isn't working, then you probably have private browsing 'on'. Tap the icon top right of the Safari screen (the square on top of a second square), tap the Private button at the top of the next screen and then Done - Safari should then go back to its normal colours and autofill should work again

Wifi icon in menu bar dimmed with and "x" over icon

Macbook Air 11-inch, mid 2013, OS X Yosemite, all software is up to date. My wifi icon appears as dimmed in the menu bar with an "x" over it. I have used network assisrant, diadnostics, fallowed all instructions properly as promted to do so. How do I enable wifi?

I bet you have a Samsung laser printer, don't you?
And if so, it looks like you were dumb enough to put in the included CD! Don't! Those CD's are for the Windows Users!
Look what happened! It now installed the SmartPannel that is very un-fun to remove. Lucky for you, I re-looked up for you how to do it....as when I first got my mac, I too was dumb enough to put in that disk and got frustrated when I couldn't make the icon go away.
so . . . in:
~library/printers/SmartPanel
there is a script called iLaunchSP....Trash it!
Reboot!
It will be gone!

The menu bar on my business home page is missing. It loads on Safari but not on Firefox. I used IWeb for the development of the site.

I've just updated my business website. It looks perfect on Safari - but the menu bar is missing from the first page on Firefox - so no one can enter the site. Does this mean it's being blocked as spam? How do I fix this? Help!!!

Safari top menu bar

Somehow some web links have got into my Safari top menu bar between Apple and iCloud. How do I erase them?

Try
View > Customize Toolbar
from Safari's main menu bar and drag anything from the Toobar that you do not want there.

If you are talking about the Bookmarks menu bar, you can ctrl-click any item and remove it by selecting "Delete" from the pop-up menu.

Safari looses its menu!

Has anyone come across Safari loosing the menu bar on top? The windows remain open and any activity continues uninterrupted (such as downloading etc). It does not recover from this condition. Because there is no menu bar, the only way to quit if to use the dock and select quit.
I've upgraded to 10.5.6 and Safari Version 3.2.1 (5525.27.1) and Xcode Version 3.1.2. I can't say definitely yet, but this problem seems to occur only when I use Xcode (I was working through Hillegass' book on Cocoa). It does not do it immediately, only after some time of usage of Xcode and Safari. I quit Xcode yesterday evening and since then Safari seems to be behaving (and I use it quite a lot). Strange!
I'd appreciate any help or insight to this. If necessary, I would report this to Apple (only I don't know how).
Thanks.
Stephen

Hi Stephen,
Very strange indeed.
I would report this to Apple (only I don't know how).
There's 3 options.
Since you're using Xcode you might have an ADC membership in which case http://bugreporter.apple.com would be the most direct option.
The next would be to use Safari menu > Report Bugs to Apple...
and lastly, the default catch all location is http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
Because there is no menu bar, the only way to quit if to use the dock and select quit
Don't forget you can use cmd+q to quit the activate application as well.
Edit: Sorry, I don't know how to resolve the problem itself!

Where's Translucent Menu Bar Option?

Hey guys,
I have Leopard 10.5.4, and I have been told that, to turn off translucent menus (including the menu bar) you must go into Desktop and Screensaver in System Prefs to turn it on or off. Problem is, the option isn't even there! These transparent menus are bothersome, and I can't install certain haxies on my machine while the transparent menus are running.
Any help would be much appreciated.
ben

Hi(Bonjour)!
I do not have transparent option in pref panel, but when I use this command in terminal, log-out and log in, I get the opaque menu bar. To revert to a transparent one, type 1 .
defaults write -g AppleEnableMenuBarTransparency 0

Menu bar disabled

The Menu Bar, all toolbars are now gone from my browser window. There are no tools, no toolbars or anything other than the tabs at the top of the browser. How do I get my toolbars and tools back? I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, still nothing.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I hid all the toolbars to shoot a screenshot. ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.99 Safari/533.4

See [[menu bar is missing]].

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.

The Menu bar is visible but not functional, I have to force-quit Firefox 4.0 every time I want to close the application.

This is a recurring but not constant problem I encounter while running Firefox 4.0 on my MacBook OSX10.6.7. The Menu bar across the very top of the screen will be visible, but none of the menus will work if I click on them (File, Edit, View, History, etc.) I have to force-quit Firefox and restart it to get it to work again.
Also, my pinned tabs have disappeared, for no apparent reason. And to be honest, this version is way slower and buggier than my old Firefox, and it's driving me nuts.

Hello DRAnderson100, try to delete the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Localstore.rdf localstore.rdf] in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox profile folder] and check it again.

Safari will not open but shows in the menu bar -

We already checked with our Internet provider and that is all good. Our wireless is working. Safari will not reset and freezes up, in the menu all commands are greyed out except "Hide Safari" or I must force quit. We have ethernet on this computer.

Ok, skip the cache,db suggestion.
In the effected account, try troubleshooting extensions and third party plug-ins.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

Menu Bar items invisible in Safari full screen mode

I have a brand new MacBook Pro 13" Retina, mid-2014 (the MGX72). When I use Safari in full screen mode, then move the cursor to the very top of the screen, which is supposed to bring back the Menu bar, a blank space representing the Menu Bar appears, and if I move the cursor to any place on that blank space and click, I see the items/options associated with Menu Bar items. So it's like the Menu Bar items are there, but they're invisible. This has to be a glitch of some type. My MacBook Air doesn't do this; the Menu Bar items appear normally, as they should. Is there a fix for this? All the usual suspects for bringing Safari out of full screen mode work fine, but that's not the idea. The Menu Bar items are supposed to become visible and they do not.

No, dont return it, its a glitch in Safari, and VERY annoying. I first would have to Force Quit Safari, but later learned to keep hovering the mouse in the upper right corner, even tho nothing, yeah nothing,,,,is visible.
Keep the mouse there, and after a bit, you will see the little arrows pointing in, hit them.
But to keep this from happening again, Im not sure.
So anybody with further info, please post it here.

IPhoto preferences must force quit

Hello,
I am trying to change iPhoto (8.1.2) preferences and every time I launch iPhoto>Preferences, beach ball of death and I must force quit.
I can work within iPhoto and do other stuff, just when I go into Preferences does this happen.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Adam

☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.

Snowleopard-firefox totally unresponsive,must force quit,new download didn't help

i changed a few settings last night- privacy,flash,and javascript settings. When i tried to shut down,the macbook lingered,then restarted.(i forget whether or not i force-quit after that.) Today firefox is 100% unresponsive. I cannot change preferences,etc. I just get the annoying mac-wheel,then must force quit. I've tried "safe mode";& "reset"...I deleted it & downloaded firefox again.Nothing has changed.I have no access to "menu" or any other firefox-related function.Even the "well,this is embarrassing" message is unresponsive. > Safari & chrome still work fine.< ...It's as if this computer wants nothing to do with firefox,though it has worked fine for the 3-4 years i've had it (except for downloading files from bandcamp.com,which became impossible a year or 2 ago;and streaming videos not playing well,if at all,for the last year or 2;but that's true of chrome too...)
I've likely already lost my bookmarks, but i still would prefer starting over with firefox than using chrome or safari as my main browser.
Thank you,anyone who tries to help.

If qutting it is cause issues try holding the option key while you click the icon on the dock and choose force quit from the list!
Also have you tired the Rest fire fox feature (that is if your able to get to it)
To do so:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
