Tool/Menu bar icons not active - Acrobat in BROWSER

I have installed the SP1 update of windows 7. I have the latest version of Acrobat 10. I also have the latest version EXPLORER (9) & FIRE FOX (4). The PDF file comes into the BROWSER & the Acrobat icons (print, save) show up on the tool/menu bar but are not active. The commands are active with the RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON.
Also, links to other web sites (URL's) within the PDF document are not active. ie. Does not LINK.
If I force ACROBAT to open as an independent program everything works OK.

Have you solved this yet? Perhaps trashing the preference file for the menubar would solve this? Go to the preferences folder-- /Library/Preferences --and trash this file:
com.apple.systemuiserver.plist

Menu bar icons not showing up at retina resolution

I've been experiencing this for a while now. Some menu bar icons will now show up at retina resolution on my Macbook Pro Retina.
Here's a screenshot to show what I mean: http://d.pr/i/IUMM
Only Twitter and Notification center are in retina resolution. If I relaunch them, some apps will show the icon at retina resolution (see here: http://d.pr/i/uMDu )
Anyone have any idea what causes this or if it's been reported already?
I'm on a 2012 MBPr 15" running OSX 10.9

Menu bar icons not scrolling

After updating my retina MBP to OS X 10.9.2, the menu bar no longer "scrolls" along the icons. For example, if I press the wifi icon and move the arrow over the battery icon, the battery drop down menu doesn't come up. Instead I have to manually press it, wich I find annoying!! Is there anyway of sorting this?

Menu bar icons vanished and iPod not showing up in iTunes anymore

All menu bar icons on the right side (keyboard, clock, battery) vanished.
It's not possible to get them back by mark their visability in the system configuration. The system just ignores any attempt to do that (I can mark the check box, but nothing appears on the menu bar; after leaving and returning to the panel, the mark has gone).
Besides of that, my iPod doesn't show up in iTunes anymore (but does on the desktop).
My laptop may be physically damaged as it fell down to the floor a few days ago.
Can anybody help?

Have you run the Apple Hardware Test and also Repair Disk?
THESE ARE THE STEPS FOR USING DISK UTILITY TO REPAIR YOUR HD
1.Insert the System Install disk, Mac OS X CD-ROM disk, or Restore DVD disk, then restart the computer while holding the C key. Use the System disk, of the OS, that is currently installed.
2.Once started up from CD or DVD, choose Disk Utility from the Installer contextual menu for Panther, or Utilities for Tiger, on the Menubar at the top of the screen.
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from disc to access Disk Utility.
3.Click the First Aid tab.
4.Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5.Select your Mac OS X volume, if necessary.
6.Click Repair. If DU reports errors it has fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported.
7.When finished, select Quit Disk Utility from the Installer menu.
8.Select Quit Installer from the Installer menu.
9.In the resulting pop-up window, choose restart.
10.After the computer has restarted, you can eject the CD.
Repeat steps 5 & 6, but select the Hard Drive this time. It's usually the first listed with the manufacturer's model number.
Make note of the S.M.A.R.T. status.

Tool Bar is not active & some projects state "No Masters"

Hi,
My edit tool bar is not active and some of my projects state that there are no Masters. The photos in the project folders are the "masters". I feel I may have clicked on something by accident or unchecked something. Any suggestions?
Thank you!

I think you have the Quick Preview active. Right hand bottom corner of the viewer. A little box will be yellow. Click on it, and the adjustments are then available.
Always use quick Preview when looking through your images. Clicking on one of the tools at the bottom of the viewer will also take Quick Preview off.

can tell me why this is happening
Thanks for the post

Trying to activate a menu bar icon with no luck :/

Hello everyone, how great is it to assign hotkeys for your application menus. Yet... for the more interesting users like me, we need to also activate menu bar icon settings, particularly the 'show ink window' in my case. Respectively iv'e tried every corner in the world for another way of activating that besides the point and click method everyone is forced to use... and came up with no answer... so i figured, what about Terminal? maybe... just maybe there is a Terminal(OS X native command-line tool) command for this, if anyone knows please share!!

Works fine,on Toshiba a135...ASUS

Firefox 4: the drop down menus in the top menu bar will not appear in Google pages.

''locking as a duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/808729''
Firefox 4: the drop down menus in the top menu bar will not appear in Google pages. For example, when I click "more" it is like clicking a dead link. Nothing happens. When I click the "tools" icon or my email address to log out, same thing.

Could you do the following please.
In the location bar at the top, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter
In the filter at the top, copy/paste the following setting:
'''browser.urlbar.maxRichResults'''
If the figure on the right is a single number, or a minus figure i.e. '''-1''', right click it, choose '''Modify''', remove the current setting and replace it with the figure "'''12'''".
Then close Firefox and restart it again.
I went to Google Maps, but as you can see from the screenshot, directions appear to be working.
You could also try creating a new Profile. See [[Managing profiles]]

I can no longer rearrange menu bar icons..... Please help!

Only the apple native icons (airport, BT, battery, etc) will allow to be arranged when I hold down the apple command key and drag. Previously, I could move norton AV, Weatherpop,etc. Is there a prefs file that I need to trash and rebuild or a 3rd party application that needs to be reinstalled in order for all of my menu bar icons to allow to be rearranged?
Thanks,
Scott

Because of the problems between Spotlight, SystemUIServer and menu bar extras I had to minimize the number I run, so I just use wClock, Scripts and Input menus. Since wClock is third party it can't be moved, I want it next to the Spotlight icon, then the Scripts menu and then the Input menu. The only way I found to get this to happen was remove everything, then turn on wClock, restart, then add the Apple ones. However, with depressing regularity after a shutdown the next restart would have them rearranged. I discovered that when that happened I could launch Activity Monitor and use it to force quit SystemUIServer, whereupon the arrangement would go back to what it had been. I would guess about 1 in 3 restarts it does not display in the order I had at shutdown.
Francine
PS--I noticed in another post you have APE installed. Since you aren't using any of Unsanity's haxies I would uninstall it. The balance of menu extras is chancy enough as it is, the fewer things messing about with SystemUISever, the better.

How do I get rid of the menu bar icon on Mac OS?

The Creative Cloud menu bar icon on Mac OS is pretty much useless since I already have icons for all the apps and don't use Adobe Cloud storage. Anyone know how to get it off my menu bar? The menu bar is MY space. I ought to have control over what goes there. If every application starts dumping stuff there it will quickly become a mess. I want the option to turn this off.
Thanks!

Most videos play "inline", not full screen, on Safari on iPad. You can use a quick "reverse pinch" gesture (as if you were zooming in, but more of a quick flick than a slow zoom) on top of the video to make it full screen.

I still can't find a solution. Changing the parameter wmode:transparent works for .swf files but .flv files do not have the option to add this parameter. If you add it in the script manually it doesn't do anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I cn't find any solution online.

Menu bar icons keep moving/scrolling/flashing

Not sure exactly how to describe the problem concisely. The menu bar icons appear, then disappear, and then only two icons reappear (OpenDNS and VirusBarrier), then they disappear and the sequence starts again.
Computer is a Mac Mini with Snow Leopard and is up to date. Thinking that it might be simply that I had too many icons for the real estate on my smallish monitor, I tried removing menu icons to make room by unticking their boxes in some of their system preferences and also be dragging them off the menu bar with command-drag, but problem will not go away. Rebooting did not solve the problem either. I have also repaired permissions. Any suggestions are welcome.

Corrupted .plist file.
Get yourself OnyX for OS X, it will come in handy for that and other things that go bump in the night.

HT1199 Menu bar will not display time

My menu wsuddenly no longer displys time and other things on the top right of the menu bar. I have gone in and reset time and even locked it but still does not display time and is then unlocked when I return to try again.
Help!

Hello Riley,
Apple Menu Bar Icons Gone...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
You've probably got a couple of corrupt preference files.
Move these files to the Desktop for now...
/Users/<yourname>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/<yourname>/Library/Preferences>com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
/Users/<yourname>/Library/Preferences/ByHost>com.apple.systemuiserver.xxx.plist
where 'xxx' is a 12 digit (hexadecimal) numeric string.
Reboot.
This will reset your Menu Bar to the default, you'll need to go through System Preferences to reset the ones you need. (If they are already checked, uncheck them first and then recheck them).

Menu bar icons slow to appear on startup

Of late, when I boot up my MBP, everything comes up quickly except the menu bar icons, which take forever to show up. After that, everything works fine. The only icons that need to load are Airport status, battery status, bluetooth, and date/time. The machine's not usable til these icons appear. They used to show up really fast. Sometimes on startup, they appear, then disappear, then reappear after about 45 seconds. This is not correct startup behavior. Anyone else experience this? It's only an annoyance, but it's driving me crazy.

kiddredd
Try deleting the com.apple.systemuiserver.plist file from the home / library / preferences folder. This will return things to the factory default.
Regards
TD
