Time doesn't always appear

The time under the received column doesn't always appear. If I click on the message, it shows but then goes away. It's very inconsistent. Repairing permissions and restarting doesn't change the behavior.

I'm guessing you did not carefully read your owners manual, did you? Unless you are not going to be using your computer for several days at a time there is no reason to shut it down. Your manual states:
_Putting Your MacBook Pro to Sleep_
*If you’ll be away from your MacBook Pro for only a short time, put it to sleep. When the computer is in sleep, you can quickly wake it and bypass the startup process.*
AND
_Shutting Down Your MacBook Pro_
*If you aren’t going to use your MacBook Pro for a couple of days or longer, it’s best to shut it down.*

  • LIttle flickering 'x' in tabs doesn't always appear -

    That little 'x' in the left corner of the tabs is quite unreliable. When it does appear, it's often tardy - but sometimes it doesn't bother to show up at all, making closure of tabs impossible.
    Was this Houdini-x so flakey in the beta? Or is this a new feature, like the refresh button that was sent off to Siberia?

    Hi
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Refresh button is still here; to the right of the address window.
    Looks like this:
    Changes to this during a page load:
    Don't know about the x on the Tab bar. I use 3rd party Glims, which adds a favicon to the Tab. When you hover over the site favicon, the x appears. Glims also gives you many additional useful features. When installed, you'll find its preferences as a separate panel in Safari Preferences. Give it a try.

    Since i got my iPhone 4S, Last year. it's the 8gb experminetal version. My phone's volume always appears. All the time. And since i got the iOS 8 yesterday. It got even worse, it won't get out anymore. I'm super mad. I don't know what's going on. Is it my case? But, i don't use a case anymore. It doesn't even lessen. And when i take pictures for like 10 seconds, i get like 50 photos. Without even clicking the button. This is a real problem for me Apple, and i need you to do something about it. I need an answer real soon.

    I got Troubles too with iphone 4s with the new iOS 8, its unstable, apple said its for that model to but its not totally true, well few troubles disappear if you do this:
    First you need to Sync your iphone like regular you do it, but check you could made a Saffety and restore back up manually in your computer.
    then when this it's already done, disconnect your iphone, then restore your iphone as factory settings, beware! don't do this if you don't have your Saffety copy first!
    when you restore your iphone as factory settings iTunes will ask you if this is a new phone or a previous phone, well, select previous iphone and select the back up copy you made, and let iTunes restore all, that fix a few issues in my phone, but the real problem its iOS 8 its not good for 4s.

  • I have followed the Apple Support instructions I did it 3 times and this message always appear: "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer" and 'Error 7' but still not able to run iTunes. Anyone have a suggestion... Please!

    I have followed the Apple Support instructions but these 2 errors always appear: "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer" and 'Error 7' but still not able to run iTunes. Anyone have a suggestion?

    Try completely removing and reinstalling iTunes and all related components; you may need to do this multiple times. It won't normally affect the iTunes library, but that should be backed up anyway.

    Hi,
    This sounds like it is about Window positions.
    iChat has Default places for Incoming Invites.
    Video is always top Center of your Screen
    Audio and Text chats are Upper right with the Audio slightly lower than Text Chats.
    Secondary invites are sort of Stacked like when you open multiple files from the same App.
    Your outgoing Windows are "Remembered" as to where the last one was when you used it.
    This can be an issue if you use your Mac with a second display and turn Off Mirroring.
    You windows can get "left" on the other screen.
    Go to System Preferences > Displays and turn On Mirroring and the windows should come back to one Screen/display.
    If this does not help go to your Home Folder/Library/Preferences and delete (Drag to Trash) com.apple.ichat.plist and restart iChat.
    Unfortunately you will need to reset any iChat Preferences you have changed from defaults.

  • OSX 10.9 Mavericks is there any way to hide servers which always appear in finder after login (hide login items doesn't work as stardered)

    hi all my boss has just got himself a nice new mac and wants to connect it on to my windows domain at work, no problems there it’s all connect fine, one thing we done was to map a few of our network drives on our domain so he can easily load them to his mac, works great when it’s on the domain however when he goes home and logs in for each mapped drive it throws up a window saying it can’t connect or when it is connect opens up every drive, even after disabling them at login, now on the apple website the text reads "if you don’t want an item's window to be visible after login, select hide. (Hide does not apply to servers, which always appear in the finder after login), does anyone know any work around that can maybe solve this or point me in the direction where I can find one.

  • My external hard drive connected to my time capsule does not appear in Finder

    My Mac formatted external hdd doesn't appear in the TC folder in finder. It did once, but every time i shut down the computer or don't use it for a long time, it dissapears and only appears again if i disconnect it, connect it back again and try this 4-5 times. I do have the latest software updates on both computer and TC so that's not the problem. The hdd has it's own power supply aswell.
    I know this is a somewhat common problem for airport extreme users, but so far no one has given me an answer good enough so the problem still exists.

    Well, let's see...
    I've updated the software on the TS
    I formated the ext hdd to mac os x and then copied all my stuff back again.
    I've tried to disconnect it and reconnect it.
    I've tried to use the ext both WITH the power supply and WITHOUT it. In both cases the hdd starts up as I connect it to the TS, the blue light is turned on (on the hdd) and you hear the drive spinning, but it has a really hard time showing up in finder.
    Whenever I connect the ext hdd to my computer it always appears, so it's clearly no problem with the hardware.
    Unfortunately I don't know any one else who has a TS och Airextreme, otherwise I would've tried it on their.
    Sometimes it just appears in finder as it should after some reconnecting, but I have no clue when or why.

  • I'm having some difficulty with Time Machine.  It appears to be deleting backups from random dates on my external hard drive.  I am not deleting them.  Are they hidden and how do I prevent this from happening?  Can I retrieve them?

    I'm having some difficulty with Time Machine.  It appears to be deleting backups from random dates on my external hard drive.  I am not deleting them.  Are they hidden and how do I prevent this from happening?  Can I retrieve them?

    ... I didn't know that Time Machine was more a last resort back up instead of main back up.
    Don't rely upon Time Machine to the exclusion of all else. I compliment Time Machine with a periodic "clone". TM is much better than nothing, but it's a safety net, not a hammock
    Here is my understanding of Time Machine's file deletion algorithm, distilled from Pondini's FAQ, Apple's KB articles, and my own observations.
    Time Machine deletes ("thins") files from the backup disk as follows:
    Hourly backups over 24 hours old, except the first backup of the day
    Daily backups over 30 days old, except the first backup of the week
    Older backups get deleted when Time Machine requires space and you deleted them from the source disk.
    Therefore, assuming TM has been performing at least one backup per day, backup files will remain available:
    at least thirty days, if they existed on your Mac for at least a day
    until you run out of space, if they existed on your Mac for at least a week
    In addition to the above, Time Machine always keeps one complete copy of your source disk so that the entire volume could be restored if necessary. Any files that remain on your source volume will be present on the TM backup, no matter how old they are.
    If you are using 250 GB of space on your source disk, its Time Machine backups are likely to require at least twice that much. A good estimate of the minimum required backup volume size would be about three times the size of your source disk - 1.5 TB in your case.
    A more thorough explanation would require Pondini since he has plumbed Time Machine's mysteries far more than I have.

  • Menu bar not always appearing (dropping down) in Safari

    Hello everyone,
    I was just wandering if someone could help me out with this small problem - or perhaps its a bug others have experienced. Basically, since upgrading to Mavericks I have this annoying problem whereby when I drag my cursor to the top of the page in safari, the menu doesnt always appear (not the safari menu but the system one that drop down with the time etc). As I said, it doesnt always happen and when it does I can normally fix it by briefly changing apps - its just rather annoying!
    Any help would be much appreciated.
