Task bar missing

A few days ago my Macbook Pro froze while surfing the web, nothing responded so it was necessary to power it off manually, when it came back up i noticed the wifi status, battery meter, time and date and spotlight search on the top right corner have dissapeared, I havent found a solution yet, hope somebody can help out. Running Lion OS right now, its a 2010 Macbook Pro 13in model.

WiFi status: System Preferences>Network. Check the box.
Battery icon: System Preferences>Energy Saver. Check the box.
Date & Time: System Preferences>Date & Time>Clock. Check the box(es).
(Task bar) It's called the Menu.

Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 Apple tv icon in task bar missing ?

Hi,
I have mid 2009 Mac Book Pro Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 build 10K549 fully updated as reported by OS update utility in the 'About Mac' option. The Apple tv is running fine with iTunes and other apple devices but there is no apple tv icon in taskbar to directly send the screen of my laptop to tv. Do i need to upgrade to other flavors like Maverick, is yes which one ? Or is their a work around for Snow Leopard to get it working ?

Hi,
As you are the expert, i would go with what you are saying but required specs for airplay on iphone states that "To use AirPlay, you will need the following: iPhone 4s (or later)....." whereas i have iPhone 4 with iOS 5.0.1 and airplay works fine from my phone.
So, if you get any chance of upgrading MacBook Pro 2009 to Maverick or any other higher version OS x and using the airplay, please do let me. The one i was trying on belongs to a friend and i just don't want to go through the whole backup and fresh installation cycle.
Thanks for your help!

Missing task bar for Editor in PSE13

I am trying to learn PSE13 so I don't have a lot of experience with it. It seems that my task bar for the Editor is missing. I use a Mac. How do I find it? It is there in the Organizer.

Yesterday I was able to connect with Adobe support. It took approximately 45 min., but finally the task bar is where it should be. Don't ask me how it happened, I'm just glad it's there. Thank you for responding.

Satellite A - Battery/Power Indicator Missing from Task Bar

My battery/power indicator is missing from the task bar. When I attempt to turn it on, it's grayed out and I don't have the option to select it. I've checked the hidden icons functions, etc. When I searched on google, there were several fixes - but all are way out of my area of expertise.
Please help!

Hi
Maybe you have installed an software which affected this Windows option.
It could be also a damage registry entry
Maybe you could clean the OS using CCleaner and repair the registry
Im not quite sure if it will help you but its worth a try

Missing icon on task bar of executable powerbuilder

I have a very strange issue....
This occurs when I execute our software application that has been build with powergen( powerbuilder). When I execute the executable( acct123.exe) that was built, some of the icons that we created and use ( on a task bar) have 'red X' instead of the image. When I select the icon it executes properly.
I talked to some of the people testing the application and they would see the 'red X' some days and other days, the image would display.
I have attached a jpg that shows the icons red X
any thoughts?????????????????????????

Hello Deanna,
A few thoughts / questions.
1) Has this application worked properly before or is this a new EXE?
2) Is it possible that the application is referencing any of the images using a directory path that is set up in the properties of a datawindow and the path has changed?
3) Any changes in the Operating System or Servers? What is the environment? I ask this because you say sometimes users see the icons and sometimes they don't.
4) Verify that all the files referenced are in the same directory (EXE, PBD, DLL, images, etc.)
5) And as Bruce asked is there PBR file referenced? If so, did you include it in the Build process?

Missing task bar and screen icons/Windows 7

My pc boots up fine but after it's finished, I only have a backround screen, no task bar and no screen icons. Is there a fix for this?

Try this:
Right-click the desktop.
Select View > Show desktop icons (if it doesn't have a check mark next to them, your icons don't display).
Move your cursor to the very bottom of the desktop and see if the taskbar doesn't pop up into view. If so, right click it.
Click Properties.
Clear the Auto-hide the taskbar check box.
Please let me know if that works.

Missing parts of task bars Part 2

Hi All
Same problem again - is it just me ? Parts of the task bar seem to disappear yet the task finish date is showing correctly and the subsequent tasks are also correct ?
Driving me mad ...again !!!!! Help !!
I'm using MSP 2013
Any help much appreciated.
Regards
Swansea JAck

Swansea Jack --
It would help if you let us know what view you have applied where you see the problem. The view you show looks vaguely like the Tracking Gantt view, but I really cannot tell. So, please let us know what view you are showing in the screenshot.
It would also help if you let us know the Task Type applied to the task in question. Is this task a Fixed Duration task, by chance? Please let us know about that as well.
Regardless, to piggyback on the excellent answer from Guillaume, double-click anywhere in the white part of your Gantt Chart pane to display the Bar Styles dialog. In the Bar Styles dialog, you should see one or more styles that include the word Split
in the style name. For example, in the regular Gantt Chart view, the second bar style is simply called Split, and there are bar styles called Rolled Up Split, Inactive Split, and Manual Split. In the Tracking Gantt view, there are bar styles called
Critical Split, Split, Manual Split, Baseline Split, Rolled Up Critical Split, and Rolled Up Split.
The purpose of these styles is to draw the split indicator (...) in the Gantt bars of tasks of that type. For example, if you have a task that is Fixed Duration, and the work finishes early, Microsoft Project 2013 draws a task split indicator at the
right end of the Gantt bar in the Gantt Chart view and the Tracking Gantt view. If you remove the bar styles that include the word Split, then you do not see the slit indicator and the Gantt bar is shorter than the Finish date indicates, which is your
situation exactly.
So, to follow up on the excellent advice from Guillaume, please look at the Bar Styles dialog for the view in question and let us know if you see the bar styles that have the word split in their name. Let us know what you find and we will try to help
you.

Using internet banking the gold security lock is missing from bottom right task bar

I am disturbed that the 'safe & secure ' gold padlock symbol that usually appears when using Internet Banking is no longer down near the bottom right Task Bar area. I always log in via the 'Address Bar'. Any reason ? Many thanks.

Ideally you should focus on the new identity button that is explained in the previous posts.
However, there is an addon that adds the padlock icon to Firefox 4. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/padlock-icon/
Because the status bar at the bottom of the window is no longer shown by default, this addon displays the padlock inside the identity button. For users who are trained to look for a padlock, this might help them to move their attention to the new identity button.

When i log onto my hp pavilion it wont allow me to go to my desktop and my task bar is missing

So I have a HP Pavilion 15-e021nr Notebook PC and recently I reinstalled the audio drive and touchpad since I was having issues with those two and when I rebooted my PC all of a sudden I'm not able to get to my desktop from the Windows page. I am able to log on but it just stays on the Windows page instead of going to my desktop. It just freezes but I'm able to move the mouse. I think my PC is updated to Windows 8 but I'm not quite sure... my task bar isn't working but I can still see the time and all the items usually on the bottom right but everything else on the left like my Internet Explorer and etc. is gone. I was able to get to my desktop just now but it only works if I tap on the windows button and tap the screen fast but I'm sitting here with no task bar and no audio....
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME??? I would highly appreciate it
I'm really bad with technology...

Hello Srey,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand the computer is experiencing issues in regards to booting to the desktop, lack of audio and the touchpad not working. I can assist you with all of these!
I will simply provide a link to information on how to resolve each issue, separately:
Before anything else is done, please make sure you try every step in this thread: Troubleshooting Guide: Audio does not Work after a Certain Period of Time
This is particularly for the sound issue. However, some of the other issues could be resolve by following the thread.
Next, I located an interesting article on how you can configure the computer to boot to the desktop in Windows 8+. The article is linked here: How to Boot to the Desktop in Windows 8 & Windows 8.1
Finally, to troubleshoot the touchpad, you will want to look at this document: Using and Troubleshooting the TouchPad or ClickPad (Windows 8)
Please let me know all of your results. Thanks!

Firefox 4 is not appearing in Task bar or some times it is Disappearing from task bar when i am minimising the window. so, i had to go to Task manager and find the icon.Its becoming big messy if tabs are not found , to switch programmes.

firefox icon is missing from "Task bar"when i am minimising the window

I am unwilling to attempt navigation away from these sites. The pop-ups that occur on the attempt to leave a site or to close the browser are exit traps offering incentive to stay.
Once upon a time, when the internet was less dangerous, I would be willing to close the exit pop-ups. Now, after twice being infected with malware trying to close the pop-ups, I now force close whichever browser I am using.
Recently, I clicked on the red X to close one pop-up, and it installed a trojan that I had to pay to be removed. When I clicked on 'Leave' in another exit pop, it didn't exit and it turned out I was giving permission to run a script file. Now that criminals have learned these exit pop-ups can be used to force a click action, the sites using them have become dangerous.
If I force the browser to close using Task manager, Please tell me how to stop FireFox from sending me directly back to the same site because it mistakenly believes it crashed when it did not. I forced it to close because I was on a site that had taken control of my browser and was not allowing me to leave the site.
No other browser sends me back to the potentially dangerous sites. I prefer Firefox, but the new version must have a setting that allows me to get safely away from a problem site?

I have lost my toolbar and task bar. I have tried all the sugestions on this site to no avail. I don't know how to try a system restore with out them.

I was enlarging pictures on Facebook to full screen. When i went to move on. All my tool bars and my task bar have disappeared. I have tried all the suggestions on this site to no avail. I don't know how to do a system restore without my task bar, and don't want to lose my book marks. Please help, i can't grt to my important favorite sites.

Can you launch a new window (Ctrl+n for a normal window, Ctrl+Shift+p for a private window) that has the usual complement of toolbars? If a new window also is missing bars, try using the View menu > Toolbars list to restore them. If the classic menu bar is not displayed, usually tapping the Alt key or the F10 key will show it temporarily.

Cant change tap to click settings because boot camp does not appear in the drive or task bar.

Late 2008 macbook pro 8Gb ram 750Gb HDD 2.8Ghz intel duo-core with OSX 10.9 (partition with Windows 7 ultamate)
I am experiancing a whole host of issues with installing windows on my mac, frst of all the genuine product key that I bought directly from microsoft does not work. Also my trackpad is partially broken so I can only tap to click which means that I have to use my external trackpad to use the computer in windows 7. Therefore I have tried to set windows 7 to tap to click but could not find the way to change that and the fourms said I could change it throuh the Bootcamp settings but bootcamp doesent appear anywhere in the search field and the icon is missing from the task bar and so is the arrow for showing hidden icons. As it is I can't get anywhere with this machine. Will someone please help me!

Bootcamp told me the windows support software was no longer avalable from Apple's servers. If I manage to get it from apple independently, do I download it from the windows side or the mac side of my drive partition?

Windows task bar not appearing while in itunes full screen

My Window 7 task bar does not appear while in itunes full screen after updating to itunes 10.5. I checked that it functions correctly with all of my other programs and it used to work fine in previous versions of itunes. It is frustrating when I am trying to check battery power, access my wi-fi hard drive, etc. I have been pressing the windows button to pull up the start menu then I can see whaat I need but this seems to be only a work around. Is there some sort of a check box or something I may have missed in itunes? Does anyone else have this issue?

If it worked OK in the test library give this a try:
Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

Thinkvantage Toolbox icon on the Windows Task Bar

I have tried removing the Thinkvantage icon from the task bar; but it returns when I reboot. Am I missing something?

ok, you guys are going to love me, or everyone else having this issue at least. Its not a total fix, but asthesically it works.
Issue: Thinkvantage Toolbox icon hijacks the "explorer" icon.
to get it back
first if you have modified the properties of Thinkvantage Toolbox - then change it back.
Start > all programs > Thinkvantage Toolbox > right click > properties > target = (paste this in there)
C:\Windows\explorer.exe ::{26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB064C98683}\2\::{A8A91A66-3A7D-4424-8D24-04E180695C7A}\Provider%5CMicrosoft.Base.DeviceDisplayObjects//DDO:%7B00000000-0000-0000-FFFF-FFFFFFFFFFFF%7D\cat{8AA6B0C2-14A6-4da8-BF36-F7D93ACE9ACE}
Next - right click on the pinned Thinkvantage Toolbox icon > right click where it says Thinkvantage Toolbox > target = %windir%\explorer.exe > in the same window > Change icon > the look for icons path is corrupt > paste %windir%\explorer.exe in the bar, then choose the "folder" icon. > OK > OK > DONEEE!!!!!
Thinkvantage Toolbox = opens Thinkvantage Toolbox
windows explorer icon = opens libraries directory.
You're welcome.
