Username not in menu bar after reset

My username used to display in the menu bar after I updated to Lion. However, the Apple techs recently had to completely reset my MacBook to fix a software problem. Ever since, the username hasn't shown up. Obviously this isn't a serious issue, I would just like to know why it disappeared and be able to put it on there again. I tried going to Users & Groups in System Preferences and looking for some option to "show username" like the answers to a similar question on this site suggested, but I couldn't find any box like that to check, this is all that shows up when I click Users & Groups. Anyone know how to change it?

I don't know what sytem you're on but it's more or less the same on the last few - tiger, leopard, lion etc. You just need to open your login options ans check the fast user switching name .... if I remember correctly.
Here's one of many web pages explain the process :

I just upgraded to Snow Leopard and downloaded the latest version of I-tunes, 10.5.2, but everytime I open I-tunes, i get this error: Internal Error: Could not insert menu bar item.. Error code = 5603
How do I fix this? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Toolbar items I add do not stay on bar after restarting Firefox 4.

Toolbar items I add do not stay on bar after opening firefox 4 again. I need to add them each time I start firefox, even basic ones like Print. Some stay put eg home but mostly they are wiped out on the main bar that contains the Awesome bar and search bar.
Am I missing a plugin or something?

This is caused by a corrupt file, for details on how to fix it see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Toolbar+keeps+resetting

Cannot click bookmarks on menu bar after ALT-key when menu bar is hidden

If you personalize the toolbars, dock the "Bookmarks objects" to the menu bar (useful to reduce space) and hide the menu bar (making it visible by pressing the ALT key) you're not able to click a bookmarks bar's item anymore because (after having shown it by pressing ALT key) as you click the bookmark button the menu bar loses focus causing the whole bar to be hidden again and the click event to be catched by the main window instead of the bookmark button.
[http://alextm.no-ip.com/bookmarks_on_menubar.JPG Screenshot of the header with bookmarks]

With F10 you obtain the same result, the menu bar is shown but when you click on a non-menu item the bar is hidden again not allowing the bookmark item to catch the click event.
Of course I know how to move the bookmarks bar back to the tab bar, but it is not a solution to the problem I've posted, just a workaround. As I've said in my previous post I've moved the bookmarks bar there to limit the height of the window's heading section: if I move it down again I miss my target.
Anyway, I don't think we are here to decide wherever to place the bookmarks bar, but to notify to the developers the presence of this issue.

Why does bookmarks in menu bar disappear after shutting down and turning mac on?

When I am in "COLLECTIONS AND BOOKMARKS" view, I changed the name of the folder that is listed under "bookmarks" (that is designed to be a drop-down menu on the Bookmark Bar), I changed the name to "TV 1" from "TV Shows". I also added another folder under the Bookmarks called "TV 2" and I dragged and dropped two bookmarks from the "Bookmarks Menu" listing to the "TV 2" folder, and yet Safari would not update in real-time the Bookmark Bar to recognize that I created a "TV 2" folder/drop-down menu, nor did it update the contents of "TV Shows" to become "TV 1".
The only way I was able to update the drop-down menu bookmark folders on the Bookmark Bar was to drag-and-drop them one at a time from the "COLLECTIONS and BOOKMARKS" view.
Is it just me or is this a ******** way of updating bookmarks?
I think it is perfectly fine as being ONE WAY of updating bookmarks, but there really should be "real-time" updating of bookmarks. That is to say, I should be able to choose "bookmark this page" and add it to the folder named "TV Shows" and automatically see Safari update it without having to make two steps: 1) choosing the bookmark, and 2) going into the list of bookmarks to manually drag and drop the bookmark into the Bookmark Bar that contains the folder/drop-down menu.

App stuck under Menu Bar after Unlock

Random application's Title bars are getting stuck under the Menu Bar at the top left of the screen after I unlock my Air. Attempts to drag the window to a different location results in them snapping back to the original position. The only fix is to close the application and restart.
Anyone else seeing this? Could this be an Accessibility option that's on that shouldn't be?

I ended up re installing Mavericks after the last update (10.9.1) from a bootble USB stick. The problem appears to have gone away, so maybe my original upgrade of Mavericks caused the problem???
I downloaded Mavericks again from the app store. When it had finished downloading (approx 5Gb) I exited the installer and created a bootable USB (needs to be 8GB minimum). Then booted from USB and ran the Mavericks installer. As I said problem seems to have disappeared......
I used this article http://www.macworld.com/article/2056561/how-to-make-a-bootable-mavericks-install -drive.html and used the method in Option 1 in the article to create the drive. A Synopsis of the steps are:
Format the USB using Disk Utility to Mac OS Extended with GUID partition.
Open Terminal and paste the following command press Return and enter admin password when prompted
sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app --nointeraction
It takes a while to create and copy the installer. (Could be up to 30 mins)
Finally reboot and hold down Option key while computer boots then select the USB drive.

Rolling the mouse over the menu bar does not activate menu bar drop downs

Anyone one familiar with menu bars and drop downs not activating when the mouse is rolled over them? This happens consistently afterrunning Photoshop it seems. The menus only work if they are clicked. Webpage links do not display the hand and also have to be clicked. Additionally, Photoshop selections (marching ants) do not activate.

The standard behavior of Macintosh Menus is to do nothing when the mouse is rolled over them. They drop down once you click somewhere, then roll over a similar item, such as click and release on the apple menu, then rollover the File Menu or the Edit menu.

Adobe Updater icon no longer in menu bar after latest Cloud updates ...

... or maybe it's actually the Adobe Applications Manager, I don't know.
How do I get it back?

Thanks for your response. It could be that there isn't a problem.
But since I bought the Creative Cloud, there has always been a small red icon in the menu bar (along with the Apple icons for WiFi, BlueTooth, etc.) for the Adobe Application Manager. I could launch the Application Manager right from there if I wanted to check for updates, but the chief value was that the Application Manager was always on the lookout for any Cloud updates. When there was an update, there would be a number displayed right on the icon that essentially said that there was one (or two or three) updates available. When you see the number, you run the updater.
But recently, that icon in the menu bar has vanished and I don't know if Adobe Application Manager is still actively looking for updates.
I can still launch the Adobe Application Manager from the Apps folder or from the dock and the AAM shows a list of Cloud apps and indicates whether they are installed or not. But no mention about updates.
Yes, I can check for updates from any Cloud App and that launches AAM which reports that there are no new updates. And I can click on Preferences and check the box that says "Notify me of new updates in the menu bar." So maybe the icon will appear in the menu bar if there is an update?
A minor issue, I know, but that little icon used to be in the menu bar all the time ... and seemed to be looking for updates.
Thanks,
Brad

Mo will not open a page. will not open menu bar. sometimes mouse show up/down arrow, side/side arrow or unresponding circle.

Mo opens up but then does nothing. The mouse changes to an up down arrow then to side to side arrow then to unresponsive circle and sometimes a normal mouse hand. I tried to open a site from history but nothing happened but when I closed it, it said there are two tabs open when there was only one. It started when I had about 10 tabs open (normal). At first I could not shut it down but then I could hit the red X. When reopened it did not show the crash page. When first opened the menu bar will drop down and the bookmark tabs will show bookmark but then it doesn't do anything. I have Webroot anti virus software installed. I tried to add troubleshooting info. It shows the info but will not copy data using the button, or control all then control copy. I am doing this in explorer. I posted something but do not know what it is

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

Problems with Menu Bar after recent security update

Ever since installing yesterday's security update I have been having problems with the menu bar. When clicking on the blue Apple in the upper left hand corner, no drop-down menu appears as it should. This problem also occurs in the drop-down menu named for the program in various instances (Thunderbird, Azureus, iTunes, Finder, Firefox) but not in others (Safari, Adium, VLC). Sometimes the menus are simply truncated and do not include all the options they should rather than not opening at all.
I have run Disk Utlity which found no problems and have performed a hard restart multiple times but the problem persists. Any advice would be very helpful. Thank you.

Thanks for the help. I tried most of the solutions listed in the link you supplied, but am still having the same problem. However, when I tried to run the Tiger Cache Cleaner, I got the following error message:
Runtime Error 4: Failed Assertion
Location: /Volumes/RBUS/Common/MacOs/MacOSMenu.cpp:420
Failure Condition: appMenu
Failure Message:
Please report what caused this error along with the details above.

Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.systemuiserever.plist file to the Trash.
Then check the status menu bar.

Ipod touch not recognized in windows after reset

I just reset my ipod touch in itunes and now it's not recognizing it. i was updating to 2.2.1 firmware and i never got past the update. it's hung on that screen that has the usb and cd. and windows keeps saying found new hardware and wants a driver. my ipod does not work now. how do i get windows to recognize it so i can finish the update.
I'm on xp 64 bit. and yes i'm using a hacked version of itunes. but it worked with this update before. i actually had the 2.2.1 firmware on it already but i needed to reset the ipod because i have a dead strip i was hoping a reset would fix. now nothing works.

I uninstalled iTunes, rebooted, and reinstalled. Now, the iPod is being recognized by iTunes. Hopefully, it will remain recognized the next time I reboot Windows. I'd hate to have to uninstall/reinstall each time.
But, I'm using a beta operating system, and knew the ramafications when I installed it. So, whatever happens, happens. Thank you for responding. Jd
