Why Do the icons the top bar on my MBP keep disappearing?

The icons on the top bar on my Mid 2010 MBP (OSX 10.10.3) keeps disappearing for no apparent reason. I don't believe it is having any effect on my MBP's Performance, but it is just very annoying.

Here, do this for SMC reset.....Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac - Apple Support
Or else this for NVRAM reset......How to Reset NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support
Hope this helps.....

Why does the tab bar on my iPad 2 disappear when I swipe down? How can I lock it in place?

Why does the tab bar on my iPad 2 using IO8 disappear when I swip down? Its annoying. I have to tap the top of the screen to view my open tabs.
why did Apple switch the position of the bookmarks icon and the favorites icon. Now I tap the wrong one.

There isn't a setting to stop the tab bar automatically hiding (or I haven't found one), and as to why the icons were moved I don't think that Apple have said. If you want to leave feedback for Apple then you can do so here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

The top bar of my browser is written in Chinese, Why and how do I fix it

The top bar of my browser is written in Chinese, Why and how do I fix it?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== 3 days ago

If you see CJK (Chinese/Japanese) characters on the Firefox title bar or the Windows Taskbar then that can happen if Firefox switches to UTF-16 encoding for some reason.
The ''RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin'' extension (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) has been reported to cause that issue.
Be sure not to get confused with the RealPlayer plugin (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) that plays media files.
The extension adds some extra features like saving media files.
You can disable/remove the ''RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin'' extension in the RealPlayer Preferences (RealPlayer: Tools > Preferences > Download & Recording)

The iTunes Store listing of your podcast is simply reflecting the contents of your podcast feed. Make sure all of the content you want displayed in the iTunes Store is still contained within your feed.
Are you able to supply your feed for reference?

There is Red Icon at the top bar and it says I have a virus and things keep popping up saying I have a virus and need to do a scan and pay for some sort of software to complete the scan, someone told me that this is a virus in. How do I get rid of it?

This could well be the notorious Mac Defender - which is an annoying program that tricks you into thinking that your Mac is infected with a virus, when the only infection is Mac Defender itself.
When surfing the web never EVER click on a link that says "Free anti-virus scan" or "Scan now" - they are nearly always scams which will end up infecting your computer. Although Macs are resistant to viruses, they're not resistant to user stupidity.
If you Google "Mac defender" then you'll find plenty of sites with instructions on how to remove this minor nuisance. Take this as a warning that you need to be more careful in your surfing habits.

Hi, I have a mac book pro running mavericks and recently tried to connect to a 3rd ten apple tv but the airplay icon is not showing up in the top bar. I then tried my girlfriends laptop running mountain lion and it showed up straight away. Any suggestions

Hi, I have a mac book pro running mavericks and recently tried to connect to a 3rd gen apple tv but the airplay icon is not showing up in the top bar. I then tried my girlfriends laptop running mountain lion and it showed up straight away. Any suggestions?

How old is the MacBook Pro? AirPlay is only supported on 2011 and newer models, due to the requirements it has in hardware for graphics acceleration.

When will the color of the battery icon in the top bar will become red?

What is the percentage of battery life at which the color of the battery icon in the top bar will become red? 20% or 10%?

it is not a good idea to drain you macbook all the way down to see when it turns red. if it ever does - i've never seen mine red when it's down to 10%.
if you follow some of the threads here - some people who drained their battery all the way down to 0% can't turn their macbook back on.
From Apple's website:
Standard Maintenance
For proper maintenance of a lithium-based battery, it’s important to keep the electrons in it moving occasionally. Apple does not recommend leaving your portable plugged in all the time. An ideal use would be a commuter who uses her notebook on the train, then plugs it in at the office to charge. This keeps the battery juices flowing. If on the other hand, you use a desktop computer at work, and save a notebook for infrequent travel, Apple recommends charging and discharging its battery at least once per month. Need a reminder? Add an event to your desktop’s iCal. When your battery no longer holds sufficient charge to meet your needs, you may choose to replace it. If your notebook came with a built-in battery, you should have the battery replaced only by an Apple Authorized Service Provider.

I have installed Creative Cloud Desktop but it fails to load. The icon shows up in the bar at the top right but then it just disappears. I am running Yosemite on a MacBook Pro.

I downloaded and installed Creative Cloud Installer and installed the Creative Cloud desktop on my MacBook Pro running Yosemite. The Creative Cloud desktop tries to install when the system starts and the icon actually shows in the top bar briefly and then disappears shortly after it shows up so it is obviously failing to load. I have tried multiple times to no avail.

do you mean in my system library? or where can I find it?

Getting icon on the top bar next to the time and date

When I sync my external Hard-drive an icon used to appear (time machine icon maybe?) on the top bar next to the airport, sound, date, time... and now its gone. How do I get that icon to reappear there? The icon would allow me to enter the time-machine.

Time Machine System Prefs->check the "Show Time Machine status in menu bar."
Note that most of Apple's status menu items are enabled this way.

In iphoto, when I go to events on the top bar, all the options come up in grey so I can't create a new event. I did one a while ago but ever since, have had this problem. Anyone got a solution or know why this happened?

'tis all good right now, just checked on another post dealing with the smae problem, unfortunatley i was forced to downgrade to GB 2.0 but hey, it's only until i can find the iLife '06 DVD.

I have not been able to get the built-in iPhone 4S keyboard dictation to work. I talk into it, then tap "Done", then the phone "thinks" for a few seconds (the purple dots pulse and I see the network icon on the top bar spinning) and then nothing happens.

Siri is wroking fine

I am experiencing exactly the same problem, today, and a reset, of all settings, did nothing to correct it. Any suggestions would be welcome. While dictation in all apps is out, Siri is working fine also.

Every time I turn the machine the top bar is dropped! sabria someone tell me why? Thank you!

Is the window in FullScreen mode?
If so, press esc key.

My computer keeps defaulting from a GB format to US format keyboard with a US flag in the top bar. How do I get it to go back to a GB flag and stay with a GB flag?

My computer keeps defaulting from a GB format to US format keyboard with a US flag in the top bar. How do I get it to go back to a GB flag and stay with a GB flag?
This only started 2 days ago.
I have seen much on line as this seems to be a common problem, however none of the suggestions posted seem to work.

Thanks Drew,
On clicking the US flag I had previously then unchecked the US box. It has rechecked itself, and I have unchecked it again. The GB English remains checked.
The flag icon has now gone completely from the top bar (just replaced with character and keyboard viewer) -but that's fine. That's different to previous attempts to fix the issue.
Hopefully now I will remain able to type a £ sign on the keyboard rather than get the criss-cross symbol. It may well default back in about an hour (which is what has been happening since this started 2 days ago). If it does I'll come back on here. Many thanks in the mean time for your help.

How can I restore the list of users on the top bar of the IMAC as it has disappeared

I have a new IMAC and could previously access all 3 users to log in from an icon on the top right hand of the top bar of the IMAC. This has disappeared and I cannot restore it. Is there something simple to get it back?

Open Users & Groups preferences and enable Fast User Switching along with how you want users displayed.
