Where have my menu bars gone for full screen apps?

Hello
Liking Lion so far but a quick query:
When I first started using it, I could make the menu bar appear in a full screen app by simply moving the cursor up to the top of the screen and holding it there - the menu bar would appear within a second.
Now, nothing happens. I have to either quit the application - or I've now found that CTRL/CMD/F pulls me out of the full screen - but then that puts the app back onto the main desktop.
Is there anything I might have done to alter this behaviour?
Thanks..

I think you are right and it's a bug.
I can't reproduce it on my system. You might want to
create a new User go to System Preferences > Accounts > "+" (make it an admin acct) and test full screen in this new account, to see if the problem is isolated to your User or systemwide.

Clock for Full Screen Apps

I like everything about full screen Apps, except there is no clock.
Is there a way to put a floating clock on all the screens, so when I'm in a full screen app I can see the time?

Try this http://download.cnet.com/Simple-Floating-Clock/3000-2094_4-173851.html. Or you could just move your mouse to the top or use the keyboard shortcut cmd - space which brings up spotlight thus showing you your clock. If you press cmd - space again it goes away.

Wheres my Finder Menu bar gone??

This is a really odd one...
When my partner switches user to her account the a pop appears stating "Finder failed to open; restart"
Then when she tries to open something in Applications the computer freezes, the finder menu bar on the top of the screen vanishes and nothing can be opened from the dock. Tried the variety of CTR + all sorts and nothing happens!
Sometimes open applications (such as Word or Safari) have some limited function, sometimes not.
As the finders gone I can't switch users. On the few occations when I have been able to my user accounts finder menu bar has either been transparent or not there!
All I've been able to do is hold the on/off button down until the computer switches off!
Anyone having this issue? Able to help??
Cheers

Hi
What exactly did you try? CTR is not something I'm familiar with unless it's your shorthand for something else?
Have you tried booting in safe mode yet? Hold down the shift key. Be patient as it can take some time. At the log in try and log in with her account. If you can navigate to the /Users/Home/Library/Preferences folder. Find the com.apple.finder.plist. Take this to the trash. Next launch DU and repair permissions. When done quit and Restart the mac. Post back if you're still having problems. If you have a chance at this point back up all important and relevant information.

Menu bar missing in full screen

I have FF 3.6.16,and when in full screen auto-hide mode,my menu bar is missing when I mouse over the top of the screen.It is present in non-full screen mode.I have checked the view>toolbars>menu bar,but this doesn't fix the problem. Other toolbars I have selected are visible when checked. Please advise,thanks!

The default Full Screen mode in Firefox doesn't show the Menu bar.
Autohide has options for exactly what you want to show in Full Screen mode. <br />

I have been using Autohide myself for 6 or 7 years, one of the oldest and best made extensions for Firefox.

How can I configure my Macbook Air to always show the menu bar when in full-screen? I hate, hate, hate it popping up and then going away all the time.

I cannot find a way to change this in System Preferences. When I have applications open full screen, my menu bar disappears. Then when I try to move between tabs, I find it is always popping up & then disappearing. I really just want to set up my computer so that the menu bar always displays in the foreground. I find this popping up & disappearing intrusive and annoying. How can I fix this? I hate, hate, hate this about my MAC...
I have searched the full User Guide, Quick Start Guide, etc. and cannot find a way to fix this.

Don't use the full screen arrow in the top right corner of the window. Instead, use the green + in the top left corner. That takes the window full screen just below the menu bar.

Safari 5.0.2 doesn't hide menu bar with flash full screen mode

I have scoured these forums and others for an answer. I have deleted every little bit of Safari and Adobe/Macromedia/Flash preference file. I even tried using an older backup, which worked until I updated Safari on it.
The menu bar won't go away!
Is this a well known problem, or am I an unlucky slob?

Unlucky so far, I'd say.
So, picking something in particular so we're on the same page... does this refuse to hide the bar too?
Is a New User Account the same ?

Mountain Lion - missing menu bar when in full screen mode

Hi,
just installed ML on my late 2008 MacBookPro 15´. Everything works ok except the fact that I lose my menu bar when I switch a screen in full screen mode. Bringing my mouse pointer to the top of the screen usually dropped down the menu bar. Not so anymore with ML.
Does anyone experienced the same issue? Is this a setting preference?
Thanks!

I just got QT Pro 7.1.3, but I just can't seem to get rid of that annoying menu bar. Even the older 6.5.1 didn't show the menu bar when in Presentation mode.
Can't really help you. Seems to work properly in OS 10.4.8 for me. May be a bug that only shows up when QT v7.1.3 is used with OS 10.3.9 which needs to be reported.

Menu bar disappearing in full-screen (I mean, not sliding down when mouse is at the top of the screen)

Well, I guess the title speaks for itself.
Sometimes (once yesterday, once today) the menu bar disappears and fails to reappear when i point my mouse at the top of the screen. It's a minor nuisance in some apps, but it's boring as **** in Safari, as it doesn't allow me to quickly open pages from my history...
I've tried rebooting and that seemed to solve the problem. Restarting Finder via force quit doesn't seem to solve anything, though.
Has something like this happened to someone else?
Thanks

Opening the Creative Cloud menu in OS X force-switches spaces/full-screen apps in the latest update.

Whenever I want to access the Creative Cloud menu in the menu bar from a full screen app, Creative Cloud forces me to the normal desktop, and then opens the menu.
This is interesting since the latest update to Creative Cloud Desktop fixed a similar bug where switching spaces/full screen apps would automatically open the Creative Cloud menu.

Wow. Just wow. I am increasingly disappointed by Adobe's nonchalance towards the Adobe Creative Cloud application. Previously the app would pop up whenever you switch between desktops or full screen apps. We waited weeks for a fix. Now after the update they think they could get away with it by forcing the menu to only open on Desktop 1. Do they really think we are stupid?
I was skeptical when I heard about Creative Cloud, but I subscribed anyway because I was enticed by the new features Photoshop CC offers. Now I would rather go back to CS6, and the effects would be miniscule.

When I'm using Safari, acasionally the menu bar just disappears. I'm running the latest version of Lion and the latest version of Safari. This is not a full screen app problem. I have multiple windows open. This happens all the time! Firefox is fine! ???

When I'm using Safari, ocasionally the menu bar just disappears. I'm running the latest version of Lion and the latest version of Safari. This is not a full screen app problem. I have multiple windows open. This happens all the time! Firefox is fine! What the ****? Please help!

Right, like I'm trying to say, THERE IS NO SAFARI MENU bar. Example: I have multiple applications open, I click on a Photoshop window, the correct menu or title bar or whatever changes. Every other application window I click on brings up the correct "whatever" bar. If I click on the desktop, the "Finder Bar" shows up.
Everythiing else, BUT SAFARI, works the same way since OS X came out. This is ridiculous.
I'm getting the vibe that Apple is trying to get rid of the finder.... this is the way wrong direction.

My system preferences have suddenly disappeared! I have the language and text icon but that is the only icon that is displayed! where have my system preferences gone and how do i get them back??

I went to my system preferences today and they are all gone except for my language and text icon! I have the language and text icon but that is the only icon that is displayed! where have my system preferences gone and how do i get them back??

Double click on the picture of the HD on your desktop, then look at the bottom of the window that opens.
First check the S.M.A.R.T. status on your HD: Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility > in the panel at left, select the first item in the list/your HD mechanism > look atthe bottom of the main window next to S.M.A.R.T. status and see if it says “Verified” or something more ominous like “Failing.”
If S.M.A.R.T.status is "Verified," run Repair Disk: Boot from install disc (insert disc > restart > immediately hold down c key and keep holding it until you see “Preparing Installation”) > at first screen select the language and click Continue > click on the Utilities Menu in the menu bar > open Disk Utility > select your HD in the panel on the left side > click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at least twice, and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If that doesn’t happen, you may need a stronger utility such as DiskWarrior or if the directory is damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, or you may have a damaged HD (repair utilities can only repair the directory structure, not the HD itself). When this is finished, quit Disk Utility, quit the installer, and restart. Once booted normally, go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions.

Adobe premiere elements 12 - how to create menu bar action for my inserted image button

adobe premiere elements 12 - how to create menu bar action for my inserted image button without using their movie menu theme

forbemag
I do not think that I am completely focused into this completely, so let us see if the following is going to help.
You are going to need a base for your button. When you mention "image" button, I am assuming that you are using that term to differentiate between a text button and a thumbnail type button.
The menus (main and scene) take their origin in .psd files on the hard drive and strict nomenclature and structure for Layers Palatte. And, the buttons on the menus trace back to the menu markers on the Timeline, main menu marker and order of placement of scene markers. The scene thumbnail will only appear when there is a scene marker on the Timeline to which it.
In view of all that
Where have you already inserted this "image (button)"...into the Layers Palette of a Photoshop document or other? Is this "image (button)" in a structured Layer Group in the Layers Palette with sublayer groups, text layers, graphic/background layer"?
Let me give you an example
If you have a button (with thumbnail) on the main menu and you want that to open to a specific scene in your movie, then you use a main menu marker on the Timeline at the spot that you want that button to target.
If I am getting closer to what you seek, then please further clarify the DVD navigational envisioned scheme.
Thanks.

Where is my menu bar?

Where is my menu bar? All I have at the top of the screen is a navigation bar.

Look at the far right end of the navigation bar and find the downward pointing triangle. It's located between the star, for Favorites, and the circular arrow, for Refresh.
Right click on the triangle, and in the drop down list that appears you'll see that Menu Bar is unchecked. Click on it so that the check mark appears, and then the Menu Bar should reappear.
Firefox interface designers, please take note: As a user it is frustrating to be playing with settings and suddenly find that you're unable to put things back the way they were. Solving this problem requires the user to, a) know the term "menu bar" (many do not) in order to search it in the Help area, and b) locate the Help without having the Menu Bar, which wasn't easy.
I hope this helps someone.

Keep menu bar visible in all full-screen apps?

Where is the system-level setting to ensure that, even when I maximize an application, the menu bar is still visible. I don't like having to move the mouse to see the battery life, wifi signal, date etc. I'm on Yosemite, if it matters. To be clear, I'm not looking for a workaround that will provide these various bits of information elsewhere. I want to know how to mandate the menu bar stay visible.

swipe three fingers up to see the screen with all your apps spread out and at the top there will be windows with all your full screen apps. go all the way to the right of that with your mouse at the top and a window with a + sign will stick out from the side of the screen. Click it and it will create a second desktop. then if you put an app in full screen** in each desktop (and hide the dock) your screen will keep the menu bar and you will still be able to flip between open apps just as if they were full screen!!
EDIT - I meant if you maximize an app on each desktop.. sorry

Where is the menu bar

Most programs including Firefox have a menu bar. This seems to have gone in FF4. How do I get it back, or do I go back to FF3.x

You can press Alt to show it up temporarily. If you want it to show permanently, press Alt to make the menu bar show, then right-click it and choose Menu Bar.
If you really really REALLY want to go back to 3.6, download it from [http://firefox.com/all-older here].
