Status Bar Issue

I have iChat, Bluetooth, Timemachine, VPN, Airport, and the battery status indicator all showing in the status bar, but if I want to change something, like set my status in iChat, all of the options in the drop down from the status bar are greyed out.
I have translucent menu bar turned off, have tried both ways.
Has anyone else seen this?
Macbook 2.2Ghz, 2GB RAM, 10.5.2.

    Hello cbf021!
I'm sorry you're having these issues after the update! The notification bar is important to me as well, so let's try some troubleshooting. For starters, please remove the SIM card and the battery from the device for about a minute. Then, reattach and power on/retest.
If still having an issue, you may want to try a master reset of the device. This can often resolve issues after a software update. Here are the steps for you: http://vz.to/1tXwfyH
Keep me posted!

  • Ipad smart cover auto unlock clock and status bar issue after ios7

    Im using an ipad mini with apples smart cover (auto lock/unlock enabled), it used to show the lockscreen(before swipe) whenever I opened the case, but after ios7,whenever I open the case,its already swiped and I have tu enter my code.
    the bug is that you have no clock in the status bar on the code screen. whichs forces you to enter your code each time you open the cover just for checking the time! or swiping back to the lockscreen. 
    any fixes?

    I know.. it was better in iOS 6..
    To make the clock (time) appear without entering the code simply Tap the Screen once.
    For example:
    While holding the ipad in the landscape position peel the cover open just enough to get your thumb under the cover and tap just below the battery indicator.

  • Anyone else having issues with location services since the 7.1 update? Ever since I updated i've been seeing the location services on my status bar at all times.

    Anyone else having issues with location services since the 7.1 update? Ever since I updated i’ve been seeing the location services icon on my status bar at all times. I noticed that google was the app that was using it a lot, but after I turned the feature off for google my phone started using the “traffic”, “frequent locations” and “cell network search”. When I turn the feature off for all of those things it’s no longer a problem. So just wondering if anyone else is having this issue or if anyone has a solution?

    The "solution" is probably to increase your knowledge.  You've done good things.  Perhaps this article will educate you a bit more about location services.
    Basically, they can be very useful, but can cause a lot of iPhone use.  A major example is "Remind me to ... when I leave home."

  • DROID RAZR issues with status bar - Winamp

    When i pull the status bar all the way down it is really hard to get it to stay locked.  It just keeps flying back up to its normal position.  Winamp is also borked

    If your Having Issue Linking too Winamp an other Stuff with it you might Give this A Look an see if can Help Ya:
    You need to install both the Winamp for Android and the latest Winamp Media Player for your PC.
    Step 1::
    On your Android device, download Winamp for Android.
    Step 2:
    When you initially launch the application you'll see a "Winamp Help" screen. Click on the "Wi-Fi Sync" button and following the onscreen instructions. If you don't see the Winamp Help screen, simply launch Winamp and from the Home screen press the Menu button (hard button), go to "Settings" and "Enable wireless sync".
    Step 3:
    Make sure your PC and Android phone are on the same Wi-Fi network.
    Step 4:
    From your PC, download & install Winamp Standard (free) or Winamp Pro (premium). Version 5.6 or later is required. Please note that Wi-Fi sync with Winamp for Android will not work with "Winamp Lite". After launching Winamp you will be prompted to "Add Media to Library" or "Import from iTunes".
    Step 5:
    From the Media Library tab, select "Devices" in the navigation panel (left-hand side of screen).
    Step 6:
    Your Android device should now be visible in the "Discovered" area of the "Devices" view. If not, click the "Discover" button. You'll also want to be sure that your device is not in sleep mode.
    The "Discovered" view only indicates available devices. To sync with your device, you will first have to attach it.
    Step 7:
    To attach a device, double click on your device icon (or single click on the attach overlay button). This will send a pairing notification to your device.
    Step 8:
    After clicking "Attach", a notification will be sent from the Winamp Media Player to your Android device asking you if you would like to allow Wi-Fi pairing. Click allow.
    Step 9:
    Once you have selected "Allow", you should now see your device in the "Attached" area of the "Devices" view. Additionally, you will see your device name appear under the "Devices" node in navigation panel.
    (Note: You only have to pair your phone once. After initial pairing, your device should automatically appear in the attached state. You may be prompted to pair again after upgrading to a newer version of Winamp for Android).
    At this point your Wi-Fi set-up is complete and you are ready for wireless syncing.
    Step 10:
    Once your device is "Attached", mouse over the device icon and click on the "Sync" overlay button. Alternatively, you can manually drag and drop files in your "Audio" library to your device (pictured below).
    You also have the option of setting up your Preferences by right-clicking on your device or by going to Options >> Preferences >> Portables >> [Device Name]. Learn more about sync preferences and settings.

  • Updated my Iphone 4s to the new IOS and now i can't restart or recover it. as soon as it starts recoring, the status bar fades and the connect to itunes screen appears. WHAT THE HEY!? I'm SICK of UPDATE ISSUES!!!!!!

    Updated my Iphone 4s to the new IOS and now i can't restart or recover it. as soon as it starts recoring, the status bar fades and the connect to itunes screen appears. WHAT THE HEY!? I'm SICK of UPDATE ISSUES!!!!!!

    Yes, yes, yes... I've gone through all the common sense trouble shoots. Would't be here asking questions if that answers existed on the net. Sorry if I sound a bit edgey, but I've had nothing but issues with every update since IOS 7. Clearly there's nothing that can be done about this. and this is the final nail in the coffin to try to make me buy an Iphone 5.

  • Why does the address/status bar not work?

    After updating to 9.0.1, my status bar will not work, or my address bar. If I try to type in anything and press enter into the address bar, nothing happens. Also, I cannot press forward or back as they always remain grayed out. The only way I can get to a website is by pressing home, which is thankfully google. I have to google the url to go to it.
    Remembering now actually, I copied all the folders from the main firefox folder and pasted them into a new install of firefox (I had this problem actually before firefox updated). I was hoping that copying these folders would save my addons and etc. after I downloaded a new firefox and re-installed it. I put the folders back and firefox is still messed up :/
    I just want it to work more Q_Q

    That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Profile picture and status bar don't appear in Game Center

    I first signed up for Game Center when it was released in the days of iOS 4. I used my iPod Touch 2nd gen. There was no status bar or profile picture, but I didn't realize because I was new. I later changed to an iPhone 3GS when iOS 5 was released, and the iPhone was restored to the backup of my iPod Touch. After my iPhone was fully functioning, I retired my iPod Touch. I noticed then that I was missing the profile picture and status bar because my Game Center friends had them. In December 2011, I bought myself an iPad 2 Wi-Fi. Still, no profile picture or status bar. I am confused, because my iPhone and iPad are running the latest version of iOS, 5.1.1. I have done plenty of troubleshooting, with no answer. Please help me.

    Yeah, my internet is on and working too. I have been looking in to this issue- I have emailed Apple to make them aware. It seems like it is affected most, if not ALL tbe Game Centers on 2nd Gen and from what else I've heard, 3rd gen devices too. Whether this is intentional I don't know- it seems odd that everyone has suddenly been disconnected from their games tab on Game Center older devices, so perhaps it is a ploy by Apple to ensure more people switch to a newer device? We'll see. For now, I would recommend you follow the posts I've put up previously too. See my profile for my contributions.
    Thanks, and add me on Game Center if you like.

  • Pages that are shown in the status bar are docked to the right instead of the left..how can I make them go back to the left again?

    A couple weeks ago my computer did an automatic update to a newer version of Firefox (it is now 3.6.8). Since this update, every time I open a window, it is docked to the right side of the status bar, when it used to be on the lleft side of the status bar. Also, several windows opened do not all show-instead only one window is shown and it will say how ever many windows I have opened (such as "3 firefox windows" instead of just showing those 3 different windows when it was docked to the left side). I have looked through the help section but cannot find an answer to this. I have looked through the "tools", then "options" section and compared my computer to another computer running the same firefox that has the windows opened docked to the left, and they both have the same exact settings, so it doesn't appear to be an issue with my "options" in firefox. Any help would be appreciated.

    I have v. 3.6.8. It will display blank white pages at some site and not at others. I use safe mode and the access is reversed... what used to open doesn't and what didn't does. . .
    Is anyone trying to fix this problem - or are users just left to chasing their tails on this issue?
    Just curious ... in order to help me decide to wait for help or move on to something else...

  • Battery charge info in status bar is incorrect!  HELP!

    This issue started a day or two ago and at first I thought it was no big deal, but it's actually quite a problem! I've got a 15.4" Macbook Pro that I bought in May, and have never had any problems up until this point. But then I noticed that the icon in the status bar where it says the percentage of battery charge and says whether it's running off battery or it's plugged in - it's WRONG. It's stuck at 99% and says it's plugged in. All the time. Even when it's almost dead and not plugged in. So I can't tell how much battery charge it has left. In all of the places where you can view info about the battery, the info is wrong - it says it's fully charged, that I have a long time left, etc. but it's not true. So now it can completely out of batteries and shut down and I won't be able to tell that it's running low.
    Has anyone had this problem? What do I do? Is this a software or a hardware issue? HELP!

    Have you tried resetting the PRAM ?

  • Status bar prerequisite - will not pass v28 until returned

    So, updated to 29 on both my Win7 & XP machines before I realized the problem:
    Mozilla is heck bent on hiding stuff from me.
    Read another (now closed) discussion of the loss of the status bar. I think this is the first time they pronounced the status bar dead. Tried the view-toolbars-addon and it's not there anymore.
    So, went back to 28 and will stay there until the status bar is returned or it becomes so obsolete that I'll have to return to IE.
    On my Win7Ult machine, it was easy - just the last restore point before I installed 29 and there it was. Doesn't wotk on XP, but luckily there's an FTP site that has copies of every version you can think of. I chose the last eng-us.28 and installed it over 29. I was surprised that the installation didn't notice and balk at it. also surprised it didn't crash and burn, but I'm writing this on that now and all seems OK.
    So, you are asking "where's the question?"
    It's this: the status bar is the darling of an overwhelming majority of Windows programs. I think this is like the third time they stole my status bar. Stealing the status bar is proof positive that Mozilla hates its users - by moving everything that used to be on the status bar to varied and sundry places, they have effectively chosen to hide things from their users and I find this inexcusably beyond the pale. For instance, they say it moved "add ons" to it's own 'addon' toolbar, which is NOT on by default. You see, they hid it. MY QUESTION IS - HOW TO GET MOZILLA TO STOP DOING THIS REPREHENSIBLE THING and return my browser to the way I like it. As I said in the subject "status bar is a requirement for my continued support". don't write back that I have to accept it or lump it. I'm on 'strike28' until the status bar is returned. If it is not, then I'll be going WHERE EVERY OTHER BROWSER VALUES THE STATUS BAR LIKE I DO". As a side note, several months ago Thunderbird did a really odd security update that destroyed my ability to send Email. I'm now a happy web mail user and nobody is trying to destroy my ability to use their product. If they had a mandate of 'intuitive changes', it would be different, but hiding things you are used to seeing in a place the WHOLE INDUSTRY is in agreement, this is the death knell to my interest, if not the product itself. If a large enough uproar cannot be generated, then it's probably not my kind of product anyway.CIAO.pcGnome

    So, for those interested, I'm still using v28 and things are working well still. But in all this time, a couple of simple, yet salient points have arisen (arose?) in my head. 1) Mozilla keeps trying to get rid of the status bar and folks of my ilk get all agitated and it dawns on me - have they ever said WHY they want to get rid of the status bar? Do they not like me having a tall enough area at the bottom to click on to bring the window to the front? Do they object to me knowing the status of what's going on?.............The upshot of this and the failure to get FlashPlayer right is that I'm using a browser less and less these days. I use it for web mail, ebay & nzbclub and the occasional google search. But search engines don't seem to work at all well anymore, so I'm gonna quit that soon. Try a google search for a phrase and then open a result and I give it about a 68% chance the phrase isn't even on the page, not even if you go back and find the well hidden 'cache' option (pronounced "cash"!,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,My second point is probably going to sound laughable, but think a bit and it IS quite serious. Namely, when is firefox going to be finished? I mean, more than a decade ago they finished Media Player Classic and you cannot believe how wonderful it is that something just works! The problem with this "forever development" (aside from doing idiot things like 'let us get rid of the status bar') is that things are seriously backsliding. Used to be a product would be in beta and then a few tweaks and then it was finished. Yes, there were later versions (I have NO interest in MPC home theater - ruins the good stuff and gives me nothing). It's like "since we'll never finish this project, we can slide all the way back to pre-beta (alpha?) and have everyone disturbed by what are they going to change next, just to keep some jobs. Ruin the experience and ruin the reputation and then I see no reason to come to your sandbox anymore. Someday I'll have to relate the arrogance of Forte` Agent that screwed them the pooch (it's not OUR problem, it's an issue in all microsoft operating systems!). Anyway, I see the question asked "when are they going to put back the status bar" and there is only this pseudo answer of "they won't because there's an add-on". How about "when will they stop defeating the add-on that defeats their attempt to get rid of the status bar. I mentioned that with the v29 debacle, sure enough there was a new add-on to take care of that. So, how many add-ons does it take to get them to JUST LET ME HAVE THE DAMM STATUS BAR, OK? pcG

  • Status bar missing. How do you know if a site is secure without the status bar?

    Found the status bar at bottom of page very useful. Its now missing. How can I tell the downloading progress and more importantly if a page is a secure site? Live in a rural area with slow internet service and both download speed and security is very important to me. Security is VERY important, as do a lot of banking and bill paying on line. Saw someplace in questions and answers that the "Status Bar" was dropped in version 4. It was working for me up through 4.0 Beta 4, but not in Beta 7. If I missed the news please let me know and also how do I tell if on a "secure" page now? Is there an "add on" that will give me the "Status Bar" back?

    I have the same issue, i miss the fact that i cant watch my downloads in the status bar. as for the secure lock symbol, i found once i visit a secure site e.g HSBC website. a big green bar appears in the URL. any news post back.
    cheers
