Strange menu bars appearing

Hello!
Today when I was doing my physics simulations a strange thing appeared.
A menu bar like in the app not in fullscreen mode appeared. With no content. Just empty menu bar and it appered in front of fullscreen mode Xcode/Safari/Mail. And the worst thing was that I wasn't able to kill it. When I clicked on that, nothing happened. Then after a some time (I wasn't near my Mac all the time, but I was in room where it is) there showed up another dummy bar. When I restarted my Mac, it doesn't repeated at all.
May it be the malware?
But I'm not running pirated software, all software I have - is opensource/buyed/downloaded from the developer (AppCleaner, Amazon Kindle).
I started ClamXav scan, but it didn't find anything at all.
What may be that?
P.S. I forget to take screenshots, sorry for that.
P.P.S. I was running SSH connection to the server about 17 hours long.

I found those logs to be "non-standard"(i.e. not com.apple.WebKit, WindowServer, kernel e.t.c.):
26/04/14 18:57:51,620 Preview[7742]: It does not make sense to draw an image when [NSGraphicsContext currentContext] is nil. This is a programming error. Break on void _NSWarnForDrawingImageWithNoCurrentContext() to debug. This will be logged only once. This may break in the future.

Horizontal menu bar appears vertical after upload

Hi,
I am new using Dreamweaver CS4 and have encontered a problem. I have made a nice looking (I think so) horizontal menu bar on my web project and it works/looks fine in the "LIve View" of DW. However on the web page after upload it looks like this:
http://www.competenciagroup.com/ColombiaTravel/index.html#
It has changed from horizontal to vertical and all formats are gone. Anybody have a clue?
Thanks in advance,
Ivan

The Spry stylesheet cannot be found.
The Spry CSS should be:
http://www.competenciagroup.com/SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css
In your local working folder on your computer, is the Spry folder inside the working folder, or is it outside of that folder. The Spry Assets folder should be inside the folder where all your other html/image files are. The link in your html pages, shows that the Spry folder goes one level deeper than that.
The paths to both the spry css and the spry js file are wrong, you need to fix that and then upload the files again.
Hopefully you are working within a Defined Dreamweaver site - this is a very important first step before working on your site.
Define a site:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/140/tn_14028.html
Via the File Panels window, move the spry folder into your working folder *do not do it via windows explorer* it has to be done through Dreamweaver so that DW can correctly the file links. If everything goes correctly, you should be asked whether you want to update any links, so yes.. and hopefully the links will be corrected.
Usually the link should look like this if the Spry folder is inside your working folder structure:
<link href="SpryAssets/SpryTabbedPanels.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Your link however shows as:
<link href="../../SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
This means that the browser is trying to find the files one level down from where you website files are stored on the server.. and it's not there.

Strange Menu Bar

Hi All
Just updated to Leopard and I now have a semi - transparent menu bar.
Whatever picture I have as the backdrop I can see behind the menu bar, looked through the obvious
setting to change this and can find nothing.
Anybody know how I can change this ?

It's a "feature". I don't think there is a way to turn it off.

Can't find extension to make menu bar appear by pointing mouse to top

Hello,
I used to have an extension that would reveal the menu bar when the mouse is pointed to the top of the screen. For some reason, I can't seem to find it. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
Thanks.

When you run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 top toggle) then all toolbars are hidden and you get the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar if you hover the mouse to the top.
To get the Menu bar as well you would have to use code in the userChrome.css file.
Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css
<pre><nowiki>@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
#toolbar-menubar[moz-collapsed="true"]{visibility:visible!important}</nowiki></pre>
The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
Note that you need to have the Menu bar visible in normal mode.

Strange Menu Bar Clock Behavior

My Clock in Menu Bar Does Not Show Same Time as Preference Pane Date and Time. It has the accurate date but the time is +4hrs. Changing the time zone has no affect!
Is there a plist to delete?
Anyone else see this?
Any ideas?
Thanks

Read elsewhere to replace the following preferences file in my user library and I did so and it worked after restart!!
com.apple.systemuiserver.plist

Strange Tab Bar appearance

For some strange reason, the Tab bar looks very weird. It's as if the actual height the tab bar has doubled with the text aligned at the top. A selected tab bar a grey bar. If I could attach an image it would be easier!
Any ideas?

if this is what you mean, i have the same issue!

Number of new emails not appearing on menu bar

I am using Firefox 4 and yahoo mail. The yahoo menu bar appears at the top of my browser screen. Where it shows "mail" a number would appear showing me how many new emails were waiting for me. With FF4 it no longer shows.
The actual number is not important to me. But the fact that there are fresh emails waiting is important. Is this feature gone? Is there a way to activate it? Is there another alert I can use?

Menu bar items appear in dock

In Tiger, items that ran from the menu bar appeared exclusively in the menu bar and not as "running" in the dock. With Leopard, those items appear in the dock, and clicking to hide them doesn't hide them. For instance, I run Quicksilver and the Last.FM app. Both items appear in the dock with the little glowing dot beneath them. Anyway to remove them from the dock?

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.

Strange OS X Menu Bar bug

Hi,
Does anybody ever seen this? Is there an explanation?
Thanks

Hi, I'm not sure exactly what features you're referring to, but I know that ever since the 10.6.4 update, every time I do a restart, my screen shows only the icons that belong on the right side of the menu bar. The menu bar itself is not there--far more alarming, though, is that the apple that should appear in the far left corner (the one I need to restart, shut down, do software update checks, etc.) is completely missing, along with the words Finder, File, Edit, View, Go, Window, Help (just like your machine in your picture). In other words, the whole Finder. These items appear to be missing from your menu bar as well, so I'm guessing that your problem is the same as mine.
Looking through the topics in this discussion area, we are not the only ones experiencing this problem. The first time this happened (when the computer restarted following the update), I waited forever, thinking that things were happening inside and that eventually the Finder and the menu bar would show up. Normally, if something that affected the whole machine happened, I would do a restart. Since I couldn't do that (without shutting it down by using the on/off button next to the keyboard), I just clicked on an application in my Dock, and suddenly the Finder and the menu bar appeared. Have you tried this to see if the rest of your menu bar appears?
This is pretty scary and began IMMEDIATELY after the update. Has any one else found this or does anyone have a solution? Please use small words--I am most definitely not familiar with the files, etc., that make my Mac go (no clue about utilities, etc.).

Can anyone identify this network monitor on my menu bar?

About 3 weeks ago after a restart, a strange menu bar icon showed up in the upper right hand part of my screen, listing my upload/download network speed in red and green. Thing is, for the life of me I can't figure out which application is linked to this display.
I have installed Intego's Virus Barrier, but that's the only item that I've put on my mac for a while. I can't click or right click the item. Anyone recognize it?

Spry menu bar - vertical format instead of horizontal

When I inserted the Spry Menu Bar I selected a Horizontal format (instead of Vertical). However, the menu bar appears vertically in the document. I have inserted it on top of the banner (which was inserted as a background image within a table) and is definitely wide enough to accommodate a horizontal menu bar. I have deleted it and tried a couple of times but still the horizontal selection appears in a vertical format. Any ideas much appreciated.
This is how it appears in code:
<table width="970" border="0">
          <tr>
            <td height="160" class="banner"><ul id="MenuBar1" class="MenuBarHorizontal">
              <li><a href="#">Item 1</a>                </li>
              <li><a href="#">Item 2</a></li>
              <li><a href="#">Item 3</a>                </li>
              <li><a href="#">Item 4</a></li>
              <li><a href="#">Untitled Item</a></li>
            </ul></td>
          </tr>
          </table>

Make sure that you have saved the Spry Assets that go along with the Menubar. I assume that you have, but this menubar is a simple list without its assets.
Also make sure that you have not inadvertently indicated the Vertical menubar. I assume that you have not.
When you delete and re-insert a Spry Widget, make sure that you do it by clicking anywhere in the Widget on the Document Window and then clicking on the blue widget tab. Then press delete, and all evidence of the Widget will go from your page. I find that manually editing does not always 'clean up' after disabling a Widget.
If you can post the page live somewhere, we can give you a better answer.

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.

Occassionally when I visit a website, the menu bar becomes gray and hard to read, being restored only bt minimizing and restore.

Occasionally I have noticed that the menu bar appears a hard to read gray. This seems to occur after a visit to accuweaher.com.. It is reproducible even though both the foreground and background menu bars for the desktop are set to black.

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.
