Some Menu Bar Icons will not appear upon restart or boot up

my menu bar icons for some reason will not appear at the top of my screen some will show but the
Airport icon, Fax Menu, Spaces icon, battery meter and I don't have to many icons as some people
do I have to go to System>Library>CoreServices>Menu Extras and I double click on them and then
they appear in the Menu Bar
Macbook Pro 17" 2.33mhz, 3gb ram, 120gb hard drive, 802.11n Base station
I have ran disk utility, Drive Genius, Leopard Cache Cleaner with no help from any of these
please help me as I have no idea why this happening..?
Thanks Michael

Yes I do and that is another problem I will check the box for each item I do want to show up
in the menu bar when I check the box it will stay checked until just when I'm starting to close the
box? This really weird as I said in my 1st post I have to go to the System Library>CoreServices
then the folder Menu Extra's I'm just about at the point of reinstalling my OS unless someone
can tell me why this is happening
Thanks for the post
Michael

Creative Cloud installs and appears in my menu bar, but will not truly "open".

I'm on OSX 10.9.3 . Creative Cloud downloads, installs, and appears in my menu bar, but will not truly "open". I only see the spinning symbol (the Adobe one, not the Apple beach ball). I never even get a chance to log in and download anything. I've tried on three different Macs with the same result. All three meet the system requirements for CC. Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Sorry, it didn't work for me. I closed the application (it hung the first time I tried and I had to restart the Mac to get rid of the window), and deleted the recommended file. When I tried to re-open the app, I got this:
I never got the opportunity to log in, either before or after the attempted fix.
Thanks,

HT1911 The iTunes setup would finish (clicking the finish button and everything) but the icon will not appear anywhere in my laptop?

Try right clicking on your desktop then select new short cut from the drop down menu, find iTunes in the pop up window then click ok.

Menu bar icons slow to appear on startup

Of late, when I boot up my MBP, everything comes up quickly except the menu bar icons, which take forever to show up. After that, everything works fine. The only icons that need to load are Airport status, battery status, bluetooth, and date/time. The machine's not usable til these icons appear. They used to show up really fast. Sometimes on startup, they appear, then disappear, then reappear after about 45 seconds. This is not correct startup behavior. Anyone else experience this? It's only an annoyance, but it's driving me crazy.

Try deleting the com.apple.systemuiserver.plist file from the home / library / preferences folder. This will return things to the factory default.

Downloaded or downloaded and installed?

Menu Bar - submenu will not work.

On my main template I have deleted my Menu Bar twice to see if I had coded something funky. I am experiencing no submenu at all. Looking at the website "un-forgetables.com," when you rollover or click on the menu bar that leads to submenus you will get nothing. With the following screenshot of the code can you idenify my problem.
Thanks in advance.

You have applied the class "banner" to an image, but defined it as a div. Do this instead (you won't need to alter the dimensions of the class):
<div class="banner"><img src="Images/unforgetables_logo.jpg" alt="Unforgetables Logo" longdesc="file:///C|/Documents and Settings/Janie/My Documents/Unforgetables website/Images/unforgetables_logo.jpg" height="160" width="437"></div>
I notice that you have a long description that points to an image on your hard drive. I don't think you intended that, so I would delete it.
I've pared down the definition for .banner:This will center.
.banner {
    border: 30px solid #000;
    background: #FFF;
    width: 448px;
    margin: 0 auto;
    padding: 10px;
To center the menubar, you need to put it in a div that is centered. I have made the style inline, but you should define it as a #nav or some other div id:
<div style="width: 800px; margin: 0 auto;"><ul id="MenuBar1" class="MenuBarHorizontal">
...all the menubar ul through the </ul>...
</div> to close the new div
This is what you should do in the stylesheet:
#nav {
     width: 800px; /*test this width out...you can adjust to suit */
     margin: 0 auto;
Then you can call it in the html: <div id="nav">...</div>
Remember that to center a div, it needs a width; then apply the margin: top right bottom left; like this: margin: 0 auto; to center

Cannot send text to some numbers phone icon does not appear next to number

Can anyone help?

Unless the user you want to send a message to is using iPhone and is registered with iMessage you won't be able to send messages to them. iPad's can't send SMS messages like a phone can.

Menu bar icons not showing up at retina resolution

I've been experiencing this for a while now. Some menu bar icons will now show up at retina resolution on my Macbook Pro Retina.
Here's a screenshot to show what I mean: http://d.pr/i/IUMM
Only Twitter and Notification center are in retina resolution. If I relaunch them, some apps will show the icon at retina resolution (see here: http://d.pr/i/uMDu )
Anyone have any idea what causes this or if it's been reported already?
I'm on a 2012 MBPr 15" running OSX 10.9

Have you solved this yet? Perhaps trashing the preference file for the menubar would solve this? Go to the preferences folder-- /Library/Preferences --and trash this file:
com.apple.systemuiserver.plist

HT3964 My tool bar and icons do not appear when I turn on my desktop iMac what can I do about it?

My tool bar and icons do not appear when my desktop boots up. Just wallpaper. Any ideas?

Does everything appear if you just click anywhere on the Desktop? This happens at random to me and it's a known bug (at least in 10.6.)

Why can't I organize third party menu bar icons?

Is there a way I can organize third party menu bar icons? I know I can organize preinstalled Apple icons such as the battery indicator and time/date, but how do I order third party menu bar icons so that when I restart, they will stay in that order?

Great question.
And a related one: is there a utility to organize these? I have a ton and it would be cool to have a show/hide toggle or something.

Firefox 4: the drop down menus in the top menu bar will not appear in Google pages.

''locking as a duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/808729''
Firefox 4: the drop down menus in the top menu bar will not appear in Google pages. For example, when I click "more" it is like clicking a dead link. Nothing happens. When I click the "tools" icon or my email address to log out, same thing.

Could you do the following please.
In the location bar at the top, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter
In the filter at the top, copy/paste the following setting:
'''browser.urlbar.maxRichResults'''
If the figure on the right is a single number, or a minus figure i.e. '''-1''', right click it, choose '''Modify''', remove the current setting and replace it with the figure "'''12'''".
Then close Firefox and restart it again.
I went to Google Maps, but as you can see from the screenshot, directions appear to be working.
You could also try creating a new Profile. See [[Managing profiles]]

After installing FF 6.02 on Windows 7, the icon does not appear on the desktop and the program does not appear in the All Programs menu

I just received a new laptop running windows 7 home premium and wanted to install Firefox on it. I tried to install the most recent version. When i installed 6.0.2, the icon did not appear on my desktop (it was a hidden file in my desktop folder) and the program group does not appear in the start menu's All Programs list. The program *does* run though, at least it did a few times. This happened whether i installed as administrator or not. Installing firefox 3.6.22, though, DID create the program group and desktop icon, and upgrading from there removed them again. installing other programs (e.g. vlc, trillian, etc.) did not cause this behavior. I also tried this both with and without McAfee's realtime protection running.

Some people have found that an app (usually iBooks for some reason) hasn't appeared on a homescreen until after the iPad has been reset and has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
Also depending on what the app is have you got an age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding it ?

Menu bar icons vanished and iPod not showing up in iTunes anymore

All menu bar icons on the right side (keyboard, clock, battery) vanished.
It's not possible to get them back by mark their visability in the system configuration. The system just ignores any attempt to do that (I can mark the check box, but nothing appears on the menu bar; after leaving and returning to the panel, the mark has gone).
Besides of that, my iPod doesn't show up in iTunes anymore (but does on the desktop).
My laptop may be physically damaged as it fell down to the floor a few days ago.
Can anybody help?

Have you run the Apple Hardware Test and also Repair Disk?
THESE ARE THE STEPS FOR USING DISK UTILITY TO REPAIR YOUR HD
1.Insert the System Install disk, Mac OS X CD-ROM disk, or Restore DVD disk, then restart the computer while holding the C key. Use the System disk, of the OS, that is currently installed.
2.Once started up from CD or DVD, choose Disk Utility from the Installer contextual menu for Panther, or Utilities for Tiger, on the Menubar at the top of the screen.
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from disc to access Disk Utility.
3.Click the First Aid tab.
4.Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5.Select your Mac OS X volume, if necessary.
6.Click Repair. If DU reports errors it has fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported.
7.When finished, select Quit Disk Utility from the Installer menu.
8.Select Quit Installer from the Installer menu.
9.In the resulting pop-up window, choose restart.
10.After the computer has restarted, you can eject the CD.
Repeat steps 5 & 6, but select the Hard Drive this time. It's usually the first listed with the manufacturer's model number.
Make note of the S.M.A.R.T. status.
