System Tray Rating - Contextual Menus Items Order

Good Day Everyone,
After I installed iTunes 9.1 (Win XP Pro SP3) - I cannot rate the music I listen to from a mere right-click on the system tray icon.
Do we have to understand that we must now open the iTunes interface to set any rating ?
I also noticed that the context menu order was changed when right-clicking any song from the Libraby (the 'Get Info' now not being the 1st entry any longer...)
These kind of (undocumented) changes are very negative, should they be regarded as 'upgrades', they should at least be optional.
Thanks for considering my post.

We're other users. If you want apple to consider anything, send them feedback. I agree that moving things around in the menu seems senseless. Get Info not being on top ? It's kind of annoying me now, but I suppose I'll forget it happened in a year. The Rating is still there for me, though.
Oh wait, you said system tray. Hmmm. I never use itunes from there.

How to remove old items from right-click contextual menus?

So, I've installed two versions of Photoshop. The older CS4 and then recently upgraded to CS5. I've uninstalled some items (Photoshop CS4, Illustrator CS4) from the system using the Adobe uninstaller. But for some strange reason, if I control-click or right-click on an item, say a PDF, Photoshop CS4 or Illustrator CS4 Still show up in the list ...
I've searched the ~/Library/ folder and can't find a Contextual menus folder.
In the /Library/Contextual menus folder only 1 item is listed even if I show all files.
Any ideas? I'm very much lost and I would really like to have the applications that no longer exist on the drive removed from the list... Thanks in advance

Disabling Right Click Menus for Network Magic's System Tray Icons for Standard and Guest Accounts

OK, so I want to know how to disable the right click menus for Network Magic's system tray icons only for Vista's standard and Guest accounts? I don't want other users signed in as a Standard account or guest account having the ability to disable the system tray icons for network magic.

Hi, currently it's not possible to disable NM from being accessed by a Limited user account, but that is a good idea.
My Cisco Network Magic Configuration:
Router: D-Link WBR-2310 A1 FW:1.04, connected to Comcast High Speed Internet
Desktop, iMac: NM is on the Windows Partition, using Boot camp to access Windows, Windows 7 Pro 32-bit RTM, Broadcom Wireless N Card, McAfee Personal Firewall 2009,
Mac Partition of the iMac is using Mac OS X 10.6.1 Snow Leopard
Laptop: Windows XP Pro SP3, Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG, McAfee Personal Firewall 2008
Please note that though I am a beta tester for Network Magic, I am not a employee of Linksys/Cisco and am volunteering my time here to help other NM users.

Can no longer access contextual menus on the desktop but still can in Dock

What's going on??? I used to be able to right click my mighty mouse on an icon on the desktop and access contextual menus. Now when I right click, all the icons on my desktop disappear then there is a slight pause before they reappear. If I right click in MS Office the application now crashes. Amazingly the contexual menus still work on the Dock and in Safari. Does this sounds like a virus/malware or is it a bug in my system? Has anyone else encountered this problem and found a solution to it?

Hi, xstatical.
If Finder quits when you either:• Control-click an object.
• Right-click an object using a two-button mouse.This may be due to either:• Installed software that added a bad contextual menu item.
• Removed software that left a contextual menu item behind.What software did you last install or remove? Does its documentation refer to its use of Contextual Menu items?
Contextual menu items can be installed in two places:(1) Your Home > Library > Contextual Menu Items folder.
(2) Computer > Macintosh HD > Library > Contextual Menu Items folder.If the item is in the folder listed in (2), then:
- Under Tiger or Panther, you'll be prompted to authenticate this operation by providing your Admin password when trashing it.
- Under Jaguar, you may have to change the Owner to you (via Get Info > Ownership and Permissions) before you can trash it.

Contextual menus crashing apple apps

Hi,
Just recently I've had a problem with right-clicking to see contextual menus. I notice that this is only in apple applications, such as Safari, Mail, and Text.
I also can't seem to find any folder containing what might be in the menu items so that I can view and possibly delete the offending item.
any ideas? I just tried clearing system cache as well, but nothing changed. I also tried logging in as a different user and that didn't fix it either.
thanks!
Dave

3rd party contextual menu items are known to often cause such crashes.
Look in /Library/Contextual menus and homedirectory/Library/Contextual menus.
move whatever you find there out of these directories and see if that clears things up.

Problem with contextual menus after 10.9.3 update

Hello, since the update to 10.9.3 i am experiencing problems with contextual menus. The problem is more frequent when I use an external screen.
First problem: I am losing the icons in the top bar of the finder. This happens mostly on external screens.
Second problem: The arrows indicating submenus upon a right click are lost. This problem is also present when I use the internal screen of my Macbook.
Sometimes, the icons in the left menu bar of the finder are also lost (mostly Dropbox):
Is there anything I can do? Is this a known problem?
My current system:
Macbook Pro Retina 13" (late 2013)
2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
8 Gb Ram
Intel Iris
Thanks!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Finder and Contextual Menus Won't Highlight

For some reason, menu choices no longer highlight in the Finder -- both those from the menu bar and in the contextual menus. The menus will pop up just fine, but there is no indication which item I'm mousing over until I actually click on it, at which point it flashes as usual and executes. In the meantime, though, it's tough to figure out which menu item I'm choosing because there's no feedback!
This only happens in the Finder and, oddly enough, only happens after a brief delay -- upon restarting or logging in, everything is fine at first, and then it stops working properly.

well, that's a good thing to know. i would try removing anything in system preferences > accounts > login items and see if that makes a difference. also, try moving your fonts folder from the user library onto the desktop and restarting. if that fixes it, then you will have to put them back (if there is a lot, i would do this in batches) into the other fonts folder which is recreated to determine which one is the culprit. if pulling fonts does nothing, just put the whole folder back and replace the copy with the older version. then i would try removing the preferences folder in the same way. let me know if any of these things works.

Is there a way to get the old functionality back to contextual menus?

hi there, since my first post seems to be deleted, i try again.
in systems prior to 10.5, i could access a custom contextual item (including automator workflows) in the finder with a simple ctrl-click on a file and then select the item in in the pop-up menu.
now in 10.5 i ctrl-click on a file, then in the pop-up i have tio select "more" and then select the item i want.
this is very annoying if you use these items a lot.
is there a way around this ?

Non-Finder contextual menu's are in "More" for a reason. Go to any one of the Mac help sites/forums (including this one) and you'll see TONS of posts about the Finder SPOD'ing when the user control-clicks somewhere. The culprit is ALWAYS a poorly written third party contextual menu that the user has added to their system (often without their knowledge as a side effect of some app they installed). To alleviate this problem, Apple moved all non-Finder contextual menu's to "More".
While its not the best solution for those who use third party contextual menus all the time (the minority of users), it is the best solution for the majority of users who rarely use third party contextual menus.

Send to..Contextual Menu Item

So I am a new convert from MAC from the windows world and I live and breath my right click context menus. Well one thing I have notice is missing is a Send to option. I am soo use to using Finder and right clicking on the item and going to send.
Am I missing something, I cant believe something as simple as this would be missed by a major operating system.

You can create such contextual menu using automator.
Open automator and make a workflow consisting of two actions
1. Get selected finder items
2. New mail message
Save this workflow as a Finder plugin. Call it "Send to" or something
It will show up in the nested contextual menu "more->automator->Send to".
The problem with this is that it's not terribly fast. Also, personally, I HATE the fact that user created contextual menus are so deeply nested in leopard. They were much easier to get to in Tiger. This is definitely one "new feature" we could do without.

Is there a way to run iTunes on startup minimized directly to the system tray?

Ive been trying to tweak registry and even created a .bat file in order to fix this but still not working.
Since iOS 5 can sync wirelessly, is there a way to run iTunes on windows startup minimized directly to the system tray?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Correction...
It's a bit of a kludge, but copy the following two lines and paste into an empty Notepad window. Click Save As, change the Save as file type to All files and call the script MinimiTunes.vbs. Place the script or a shortcut to it into your startup group. iTunes will still open as full screen but will minimize shortly thereafter.
Set iTunes=CreateObject("iTunes.Application")
iTunes.Windows.Item(1).Minimized=True
Alternatively, download the script MinimiTunes from my site.

Error message:Material document contains no items (order: 40000004 item: 00

Good Day SAP expert,
I have facing an error message on Material document contains no items (order: 40000004 item: 000010) & Message no. /DBM/COMMON286.
This error happen when I want to create Good Issue with action QGIS (Create Goods Issue (DBM)).
Steps that I create vehicle order:
1.     Go to /dbm/order01 and select 3010 u2013 Vehicle Order based on Model
2.     Then I create for a new customer with model sales code
3.     I save the vehicle order in DBM.
4.     I go to VELO to create vehicle on Peugeot model sales code and create PO, good receipt and incoming invoice.
5.     Then I use action QDBM to enable vehicle to DBM.
6.     I assign the vehicle (DBM) to my vehicle order (created based on model).
7.     The assignment is successful; therefore I would like to do Good Movement (good issue). Error : Material document contains no items pop up.
8.     I have try with create VELO, assign QDM and create 3000 u2013 vehicle order, Good Movement able to perform.
I apply snote 1527931 - Problem with reading of document flow on nonunicode systems.
Its doesn't work, system say still say that material document contains no items.
is it advisable change error message to warning message?
Please advice.
Thanks
regards,
ng chong chuan

I am not sure but this coudl be reason.
You have created a vehicle but you have not created the purchase order and Goods Recipt for the Vehicle, means the VEHICLE IS NOT IN YOUR INVENTORY
First check whether the vehicle is in inventory or not, if not then not possible to do Goods issue.

Need to Lock down Keyboard Manager System Tray Icon

I run 27 MacBooks at a Secondary School. I have them setup for Windows XP Pro (I'll be setting up the Mac OS over then next few weeks but this is a MS Windows School so lets start slow). Hoever I need to be able to disable the "Boot Mac OS" option on the Keyboard Manager. But still have access to Volume and Eject etc Keys.
Solution: 1
a .adm file so that I can contol what is avilable to students through Group Policy (disable reboot in Mac, Disable Boot Camp First time Run Help Screen)
Solution 2
A Keyboard driver that will make all the Keys work (and remote if possible) but has no System tray Icon
Solution 3
Hide the System tray icon (as say an option in the Boot Camp Control Panel which I can already disable through group policy) then all I need to kill is the anoying first time run help screen.
The help screen is anoying because for each of the 800 student will probably only login into each laptop once each so that will come up every time, because I reimage every 3 months or so.
The reboot in Mac OS would be no problem if it did not perminatly change to boot order and the Mac OS side boot change back is too complicated for most first time Mac users. The way I will be introducing the Mac OS is telling them about the hold the "option" key trick on boot. hence the dummys will get what they are expecting, and the smarties have the option without afecting the dummys.
I relise this is a Devolopers thing but I can find no other way to inform them of the need. I dout I am the only System admin needing this.
Thank You

Unfortunately no that did not help
Using msconfig only stops the Keyboard Manager from running. I can do that simply be removing it from the registry with out the annoying msconfig messages. (good for testing though)
I have also looked into the Hide tray Icon Path but that only tucks it behind a set of “<<”
And the reboot function does Permanently Change the Boot Order. (Not the boot sector necessarily, The Boot Order) to change it back you need to login into the Mac OS and System Prefs Disk Boot Select the Boot Camp Part and Reboot …… Big Pain in neck.
The Keyboard Manager icon does not have an eject option… If is needed for the Eject Key to work (and the Volume Mute, Up, Down, Brightness Up, Down. Note it is not Needed for the Play FF Rew Keys they work fine with the Fn Key)
Here is the test
With no icon showing, or an icon with no reboot option : Press The Eject Key if the CD Ejects Success, I also need Volume do not care about the others as much
As Stated this is a Developer( Programmer) oversite and needs them to put in an option to remove the reboot option from the System tray Icon. Removal of the Icon would also be desirable
Thank You

Volume missing in system tray, mute buttons not working

hi, i just reformatted and installed the latest drivers for my Creative Soundblaster Digital 5. (dell) card, and at first everything was fine..
Now they Icon for sound is missing from the system tray.. My volume dial and mute button no longer work. and yes i have gone in and selected to have it appear in the tray.. that does nothing.
Also, all other sounds are working except for sounds from web browsers.. and I have all the necessary pluggins installed..
thanks creative... great products...Message Edited by maluut on 0-0-2006 05:07 PM

I have a similar problem with my elite pro card and would also like an answer.
I installed the new drivers and now my volume knob does not work nor can I adjust volume with the remote control. The mute button does work though.
Also why such an annoyance as to need the original disc in order to make the control panel work in the system tray? shouldn't driver updates be complete?
Also...what's up with the max volume white noise during the driver install which made my ears ring and nearly blew out my speaker system?

Icons in system tray

on a non wired desktop pc, windows xp. sp2, I want to clean out the system tray of unneeded icon(programs)running there.
I have:
Linksys Router BEFW1154
adapter WUSB11Ver2.6
cable modem BEFCMU10 v.3
In the non wired computers system tray there are 2 icons together, shaped like a computer monitor, and then another one shaped like a monitor, off by itself. These are Linksys icons.
Question?? Is it necessary to have these in the system tray? I have never actually used them so far as I know. Are they needed in the system tray in order for the wireless connection to operate properly?
I phoned Linksys tech support but they won't answer this question because my warranty has expired. Everything works fine even though I bought the router and adapeter about 5 years ago. Thanks for your advice.

For the modem and router, you don't need any icons. Not sure about the adapter's icon. You may be using that for the connection.
The box said windows xp or better... So I installed Linux!

Why is the revolving circle in system tray

Everytime I try to go to the system tray with the cursor, there is a revolving circle near the date and time.
Any advice welcome.
Thanks

Is it the mouse pointer that changes and doesn't change back? In that case I would suspect an add-on, maybe one related to form filling??
Or is it like a display glitch which is superimposed over whatever's behind it? If it's the latter, could you try disabling graphics hardware acceleration? Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You usually need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
