Weird open command stuck under menu bar for just one specific file

I'm having a weird problem where a little arrow in a small grey box sits under the menu bar, no matter which program is active. If I roll over it, an icon for a quicktime file shows. Clicking it open a specific file. It's one I had dragged to the desktop from the trash. If I click the icon, it opens the file from the trash. If I delete the trash, the little grey box and arrow stays there, pointing to the file in the trash even though it doesn't exist anymore. I cannot get rid of it!
Here are some screenshots since this is hard to explain.
MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

Hi Jerymander , Welcome to Apple Discussions,
Have you tried starting in "Safe Mode"?
Let us know.

  • Window on mac is stuck under menu bar

    window on mac is stuck under menu bar

    In case this happens to anyone else (and searching the web, it seems fairly common), the application that was having this problem for me was iTunes.  Stuck under the menu bar, no way to move it.  I could get it to go full screen, but going back to a window put it in the same stuck position. Quitting and restarting the application didn't help.
    Finally found a solution that worked for me (2013 MacBook Air, Mavericks);  I usually have an external monitor plugged in when I'm at home, which enabled the following:
    I right-clicked the iTunes icon in the Dock, went to "Options" in the popup menu, and selected "Assign to Desktop on Display 2" (which is my Air's built-in screen).  I then started the application, and it opened in the middle of the Air screen.  After that I could move it anywhere (and I reassigned it to "All Desktops" from Options).
    Hope this helps someone...

  • 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.

  • On screen Keyboard stuck under menu bar

    On one of my GB songs when I select window> Keyboard, to get the onscreen keyboard to show, half of it is running off the top of my screen under the menu bar. I cannot click and drag it down so I can use it. It allows me to stretch it to the right but I cant click on a part of it that allows me to move it/re-position it on screen. The position it is in now will not allow me to use it.
    Help Please.
    Paul

    Hey thanks a lot! It was very nice of you. I have noticed that you help a lot of people with GB in these forums. Every time I search these forums I see your name helping out someone. You should be commended:)
    Back to the topic at hand, After reading your post I tried something and it worked. What was happening is when I recorded or worked on something on my 17" MacBook Pro and then brought it over to my G5 with regular (non widescreen format) dual displays it was forcing the keyboard off the screen. So I tried opening the file on the MBP and moved the keyboard way down to the bottom, saved, moved the file to the G5, and when I opened it the keyboard was in the middle. Problem solved.
    You learn something new everyday. And I am sure this will happen to someone else and hopefully they will search these forums and find this post for a solution.
    Thanks Again,
    Paul

  • Is there a way I can disable images for just one specific website that won't load properly?

    The website Epinions.com is not loading properly for me (since it went through an upgrade). Pages will begin to load and stop midway or only load a small amount. I'm getting frequent timeouts where pages entirely fail to load. I think one reason this is happening may be because the site is much more image heavy than it used to be. I would like to disable images on just that one site rather disabling all images in general. Is that possible? If so, how do I do it?

    Try to update to Firefox 8 to see if that helps.

  • Menu Bar for RTL Laguages

    Hi,
    I am new to flex, but excited.
    I took some courses in Lynda.com, and the videos reffer to
    LTR languges.
    I wonder if it possible to make the Menu Bar for Right to
    Left languages as well, which means the bars open from the right.
    Thank you for your help

    I think for this you need to create a custom component. Flex
    3 has some support for rendering RTL languages, but I think text
    input of these languages has some weaknesses. RTL language aware
    controls are not yet in Flex. Maybe Flex 4, but I'm not sure. I
    know some of the RTL language weaknesses will be addressed in Flex
    4. Until, gotta do extra work.

  • My safari menu bar is missing --the menu bar for desktop, HD, and apps appears, but when I click on Safari, it disappears, so I can no longer see my buttons for History, etc.  I think my husband (pc user) clicked it away.  Any ideas how to retrieve it?

    My safari menu bar is missing.  The menu bar for desktop, HD, and apps appears, but when I click on Safari, it disappears, so I can no longer see my buttons for History, etc.  I think my husband (pc user) clicked it away when borrowing my computer.  Any ideas how to retrieve it?  Thanks. 

    I too was having the same problem However, I could access both the menu bar and the dock by hovering my mouse over them so it wasn't a huge problem but I prefered having it there anyway. I was not in full screen mode and I could still go into full screen mode if I wanted to.  I found the easiest solution was to just quit safai and restart it, but it might not work for you considering you couldn't access you menu bar either way.
    I found this article that allows you to hide/show the menu bar and the dock through TextEdit (didn't work for me) http://www.mactricksandtips.com/2009/07/hide-the-menubar-or-dock-in-specific-app s.html It is pretty old so it might not work for lion and a bit risky if you don't know what you're doing so I wouldn't really recommend doing it this way.
    And KSheppard, I know it's not really any of my buisness, but the way to get answers to a question isn't by insulting others and being quick-tempered. Even if you feel like you were insulted first, don't try snapping at people who aren't obligated to help you. Honestly, it just makes everything easier if everybody is cooperative and polite.

  • After updating to Firefox 7.0.1, menu bar for Google,yahoo, Facebook (message,notification,profile,home) and others site are disabled. How can solve this problem?

    after updating to Firefox 7.0.1, menu bar for Google(web ,image,video,map etc),yahoo, Facebook (message,notification,profile,home) and others site are disabled. even I cant log out from different sites cz the log out bar is completely disabled. I tried with Firefox 4;5 and 6, same problem exist . I tried by active all add ons for facebook, same problem exist. If I use internet explorer , I don't find such problem with it.
    How can I solve this problem?

    Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
    BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
    Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long.

  • How to remove menu bar for a single tcode

    Hi,
    I created a Transaction iview with gui for html and now i  want to deactive menu bar for a single tcode.
    I'am able to remove menubar by passing parameter in Webgui but it will remove menu bar for all.
    Can anybody provide me solution.
    With regards,
    Pradeep.B

    Hi,
    It's really possible. You can define an ITS service on your R/3 and apply parameter ~WEBGUI_SIMPLE_TOOLBAR. With this parameter you can hide all bars, using different values (3 bits). You can use, for example, value 132.
    After that, you define an IAC iview on your portal with your ITS service.
    Hope this helps,
    Iván.
