Why does the menubar lock up (clock stops and rainbow-wheel keeps spinning)? I have a 2010 MBP with latest version of Mountain Lion.

Since installing Mountain Lion the Menubar on top keeps freezing. As a result the clock stops and the keyboard is not available.
I hope this can be fixed!
Best,
Anci

Hi Brasov12311,
No, I have not received any responses. I had hoped that it would have been addressed through an update, but not such luck yet. The menubar appears to work for a while after restarting my MBP, but then it just stops. This is really enervating since I often need to use different keyboards - it really slows down my work!
Best,
Anci

  • Why does the update change my home page and make Google so prevelant?

    Several of the last "updates" involved the changing of my bookmarks and home page,. The so called update required me to spend more time in refreshing the browser to its previous condition. This is frustrating to say the least. Second why does the updated version of of firefox seem to favor google?

    Normally, an update does not change your home page...
    What did you home page change to? That might help identify the source of the problem.
    I assume you have tried changing your home page back to your preferred site, either in the Options dialog or using one of the other methods:
    * [[Startup, home page and download settings]]
    * [[How to set the home page]]
    Did that work at all? By "at all" I mean:
    * Immediately after making the change, if you click the Home button, or launch a new window using Ctrl+n, does your preferred page load? Or is that ignored?
    * Does the setting revert later in your session (you see in Options it has changed)?
    * Does the setting revert after you exit and start Firefox up again?
    * Is the problem only when you use your Firefox desktop shortcut?
    With that information, it will be easier to recommend a solution.
    I'm not sure I understand your second question. Google has always been the default search provider in Firefox. Are you seeing even more Google than that?

  • Why does the display look different in photoshop and lightroom

    I am using CS4 and LR2.1. When I open the same picture in both programs the picture in CS4 looks dull and washed out. My color space in both programs is srgb (I send all my pictures to Miller's for printing). Any Idea why and what setting I should adjust.
    Thank you in advance for your help,

    Your color settings are not the same, or something is broken with your display profile that one application is trying to fix up (but that should give you a warning).

  • I recently downloaded the latest version of Mountain Lion and imovie and now I can't find my photos. When I click on the camera it tells me that I need to open iphoto before I can see any of my pictures but that didn't work. Any help would be appreciated.

    Is there a reason why I can't see my photos from iphoto?

    Trashing the iMovie and iLife preference files may fix the problem you are experiencing. See this User Tip by AppleMan1958 for full details:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4061
    In Lion and Mountain Lion, an alternative way to open your user Library folder (to access the Preferences folder), is to click and hold down Go in the Finder menu bar and then press and hold down the Option key on the keyboard. The Library folder will appear in the drop-down menu. Slide the pointer down until Library is highlighted. As you release the mouse button, the Library folder will open.

  • Why does the volume button on iPad stop working

    Sound comes on sometimes works fine other times I go to change volume and it won't sound

    Is there anything around the volume rocker that might he affecting how it works? Maybe some sticky substance or anything that could be causing the button to stick?
    Have you tried resetting the iPad?
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Why does the vidio on you tube jump and skip now with firefox 4. I did not have this problem before.

    The video, not the sound, skips and jumps on you tube. Before I upgraded to firefox 4, the video flowed smoothly. Why. Fix this now!!!!!

    Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
    If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
    # Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
    If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
    # Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
    # Go to the General panel
    # Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

  • Why does the process Report Crash stay active and take up over 100% of the CPU?

    In addition to window-server taking an inordinate amount of CPU, I am seeing that the process "Report Crash" is sucking up 102% of the CPU and occasionally goes down to 90%.  ***?  What IS Apple doing these days?  Their products are getting worse and worse!

    Select that process and kill it in Activity Monitor, see if it comes back.

  • Why does the editing feature work at times and not at other times ?

    I have paid for the right to edit documents created as PDF's.  Now when I sign in and try to edit the documents the program only works once in a while. 

    Hi Sara,
    Yes, the Export PDF subscription is what I am having trouble with.
    For example,  when I open and Export a file as attached to remove our vendors information and substitute our company info to provide export documentation for
    our lumber shipments I am not able to edit the document.
    I bought the subscription for this exact purpose to save having to recreate these documents on my own time. This is very time consuming as it must be done by hand
    in Excel.
    I was able to edit a similar document yesterday but today, no dice ???

    To start with, you have no document type declaration on first line of your pages which sends them into Quirks Mode.
    File menu > Convert > select a document type that fits your coding skills (HTML 4 transitional or strict).

  • Why does the Yahoo toolbar which contains my frequently accessed websites keep disappearing from the Firefox browser?

    I recently discovered that I could customize a toolbar to hold all my favorite websites and I could thereby reach these sites with one click. A marvelous feature when it's there, but all the icons keep disappearing. I can get them back by downloading the Yahoo toolbar AGAIN and restarting my computer AGAIN, but that's more trouble than typing the URLs to begin with. There's got to be a better way.

    I agree, this is very frustrating! Sometimes it loads with no problems, sometimes it doesn't. I have AT&T/Yahoo and really miss the toolbar icons to get to my favorite sites! I hope this can be corrected soon!
