Why does my menu bar keep blinking in the left corner of my screen?

y menu bar keep blinking in the left corner of my screen?

There used to be a disk activity or network activity indicator you could download that would make the uppermost left cluster of pixels flash when the disk or Network was accessed.
I expect you have added some third-party utility that has installed this feature for you.

Why does my menu bar keep disappearing from the top of my browser?

Every day I have to right click to add the menu bar to the top of the page (File...Edit...View...Bookmarks,etc.)
this is very annoying.

Does it disappear while you are using the browser, or when
you start Firefox?

Why does my Menu Bar is scrolling from left to right when I call it and not stabilizing?

I have an an XP Windows system and I use Firefox as my default Browser, I suddenly found that my browaer is hit by something that makes the Menu Bar when I try to use it scrolling all menus from left to right so quickly that I can't point to any choice and keep doing this till I end it by mouse, also the information in the Autocomplete are not accessible as they don't show when trying to get them either by mouse or by the down key. I don.t know what to do putting in consideration that I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled it and this did not solve the problem.

Why does my menu bar close everytime i close system preferences?

Ever time i open the system preferences and then close it the menu bar at the top of the screen disappears.
Then when i click on the desktop it reappears.
This also happens when i close other already installed programs like:
-facetime
-app store
and others.
Does anyone know what is going on?

I haven't experienced anything like that, but if I had I would boot to the Recovery HD, open Disk Utility, run Verify Disk and if there were errors, Repair Disk. Next, I would run Repair Disk Permissions. Last, boot back to my Desktop and test.
If the above didn't fix the issue, I would back up my system, boot to the Recovery HD, Reinstall OS X, run Software Update after the reinstall and test. Reinstalling OS X will not touch your data or apps.

Why does my scroll bar keep disappearing when I am trying to scroll on my macbook pro . I am using osx version 10.9

Why does my macbook pro keep disconnecting from the internet?

For whatever reason my Macbook pro 15in keeps disconnecting from the internet everytime it goes to sleep. And sometimes when I wake it up, I have to turn wifi on and off a couple times to get it to detect the right signal. This does not happen with my playstation or my phone so it has to be a problem with the Macbook itself. Can anyone give me any information on how to fix this problem? Anything would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, amal111.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here is an article that I would recommend going through when experiencing Wi-Fi connectivity issues. Also, make sure all firmware updates have been processed on the router and the settings have been adjusted to the recommended settings in the second article below.

Why does Indesign CS6 Tools panel cover up the left side rulers?

Every time I open a window in Indesign CS6 I have to slide the window to the right so I can use the left-hand ruler and the x close button. Is there any way to change this in preferences? Or is this a glitch?
Thanks!

It is actually not a preference.
Method 1: Go to menu WINDOWS->ARRANGE
Method 2: Move the window with the mouse. When the window edges touch the tool bar edges, the window should be framed by a blue frame. Let go and it will be tabbed.

Why does my Favourite bar keep reseting

When I make a change to my favourite bar it works fine, but resets to the previous version over night.
How do I set it not to restore
Tony

Hi Tony,
I agree with all the replies.
In addition, if you are using Internet Explorer in a corporate environment, you may contact your network administrator or the information technology support team to request changes to the browser's settings.
If your browser's files are corrupted, it prevents the software from correctly saving settings. Reset Internet Explorer to its original state using the "Reset" button at the bottom of the "Advanced" tab in the browser's Options window.
I also supect some group policies related to Favorites bar cause this issue.
Hope it helps.

Why does my airport express keep dissconnecting from the wifi it's extending?

Ok, so I have a airport express (latest gen) that is extending wifi from a time capsule. The problem is that at least once a day the airport disconnects from the wifi it's extending and I have to unplug it and plug it back in like 5 times before it starts working again. The error messages I keep getting from airport utility when it disconnects is "no dns server", "internet connection" and " wireless network" all with yellow circles next to them. Please help if you can. It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Also, when it disconnects the light on the front flashes amber (yellow).

It's almost a miracle that it was working at all.
Each wall will absorb on average, about 15-20% of the signal so after 4 walls...and a ceiling....which is typically 2-3 time thicker than a wall....there isn't going to much signal left to extend.
Try locating the Express no more than half the distance between the Time Capsule and the general area upstairs that needs more wireless coverage. Minimize obstructions in the signal path as much as possible.
If that does not help, we'll have to do some SNR measurements to see if what you are trying to do is even feasible.

Why does that same photo keep appearing in the edited folder????

Why is that same photo always mysteriously appear in the edited folder whenever a photo is added to camera roll????? If I happen to take a picture on my iPad, then if I go to iPhoto, there is this one stubborn picture that mysteriously appears in the edited folder. When I try to revert it to original so I can get it out from the edit folder, it's not highlighted. So what I do is actually edit it then revert it to original, then it disappears. However if I go back to the iPad camera and take a picture or just save a picture from safari that same stubborn photo reappears in iPhoto edit folder when I launch the app. If that's not a bug, then what is????

Why does my macbook pro keep showing me the force quit screen and states that there is not enough memory? The activity monitor shows that there is plenty of memory available.

The message displayed in the Force Quit Applications window says "Your Mac OS X startup disk has no more space available for application memory. The only applications that I have open are Safari and Finder and I am simply reading a discussion board.

It would appear that this error can be caused by an excessive system demand for swap space that exceeds the maximum allocation. Just try restarting the computer.
I found a possible solution for finding the cause of the error. Open Activity Monitor. Be sure you have the Real Memory column showing and the Processes dropdown menu set to All Processes. Select the Real Mem column and sort in descending order. Leave Activity Monitor open. The next time the error appears the application at the top of the column is the one causing the error.

Why does MacBook display brightness keep going to the lowest brightness?

Hi! My daughter's MacBook (10,4.11)runs perfectly...except for one problem, the display brightness won't stay on the brightest setting. Every time the computer restarts the brightness goes to the lowest setting, which is too dim. We turn it up, it's fine until she does a restart. Any ideas? Thanks, Bill

I'm having a similar problem, when I wake my macbook or sometimes when I turn it on, the display is on full brightness even after I've set it to my liking. I'm having to reset the brightness on my macbook all the time because the full brightness is so bright it gives me a headache. I was just trying to figure out if there is a way for me the set my desired brightness once and not have to do it every time I turn the computer on.

Why does my Macbook Pro keep freezing with the spinning beach ball?

Hi,
This issue started yesterday. Every minute or so or less, my Mac will freeze up and I cant do anything, and then the beach ball will pop up for 5-60 seconds before going away, my machine unfreezes, and it happens again pretty quickly.
