Why is my Menu Bar partially transparent? I can see my desktop instead of some of the icons like Print or Download.

The Menu Bar at top of the screen does not look right after the
Help entry. File thru Help is fine and have a white background.
After that I can see my screen background with icons for Print,
Downloads, and others superimposed. Some of the icons can
hardly be seen as they blend right in with my Wallpaper.
Furthermore the line above the Menu Bar has it's own problems:
It has the Firefox logo followed by some writing that go for
for about 6 inches followed by stuff from my wallpaper.
In other words, starting from the top of the screen I have
two short lines of stuff with a white background followed by
a see through view of stuff from my screen wallpaper.
Starting with the Navigation Toolbar everything is fine.
I don't have this problem with IE8. Can anyone shed some
light on this problem.
Thanks,
JWare

I don't want to change all my computer's visuals just because firefox has a bug in it! The Menu bar is rendered faintly and this is a bad idea. At least give me the choice . . . see image below. I have vista running ffox 4 and none of the fancy settings can fix this. Also I want transparency on! Most programs work properly. They don't force me to adhere to some idiot programers whims, likes or dislikes.
Of course ranting this way will get me nowhere . . . such is life.

Keep getting popup coupons - says that it can be deleted by clicking coupon button on menu bar but I don't see one

Recently started getting a lot of popup coupons - on the coupon it says that you can stop this by clicking on coupon button on menu bar but I do not see a coupon button on any of the menu bars. How do I delete this problem?
Thanks

Your Firefox and plug-ins are outdated and introducing security risks to you which can be a reason for unwanted popups. Outdated software can allow malicious people on the internet to take control of your machine without you knowing. Download a new version of Firefox. Uninstall the old version, then install the new version.
After updating Firefox, to update your plug-ins, go to:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
and find the ones to be updated, then update them.
Safe browsing requires vigilance, and this includes making sure you have programs installed on your computer to protect you online, and that they are regularly updated.
Steps to take:
 
*Updating everything can be time-consuming, and if you're not sure what to do, use a program like Secunia's [https://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/personal/ Personal Software Inspector (PSI)] to help automate the process of updating all software on your computer.
*Make sure Windows Update is turned on and set to automatic.
*Always run antivirus software -- there are many free programs from vendors like Avast, AVG, TrendMicro, etc.
*Make sure your Windows firewall is on (if you are not using a replacement firewall, if so, keep that one up to date).
*Make sure your browsers are the latest versions.
Once you get everything up-to-date, then install a couple of helpful add-ons to your new Firefox installation:
 
*[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/ Adblock Plus] will help block unwanted advertisements.
*[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript/ NoScript] will only turn on scripting (automated web-page actions) for websites that you trust.
After you've updated everything and have your new add-ons installed, you'll be safer on the web and should not be bombarded by adverts.

Why won't menu bar activate in trial version

Why won't menu bar activate in freshly opened trial version?

What do you mean by “menu bar activate”?
BTW, there is nothing limited in the trial except it quits working after 30 days so as long as you’re still able to run it, then everything should be acting the same after the program has been licensed.

The menu bar goes transparent after 50-60 seconds and my mouse scroll wheel and keyboard wont work unless I click somewhere on the screen

I hope someone can help. I'm using Firefox 31.0.1
The menu bar at the top of the screen is a white transparent color and everything is working fine but after 50 or 60 seconds it changes to completely transparent, I can still read the words file, edit etc. This is where the scroll wheel on the mouse and anything I am typing stops working. Now all I have to do is click somewhere in the window and it works again but only for 50-60 seconds. I have had to click the screen twice since I started typing this because when I look at the screen, everything I have typed is not there because the menu bar went transparent again while I was typing. Its driving me nuts.
I don't remember this being a problem before today, if it was I would surely have noticed. Have I pressed something or clicked on something by accident??
I'm considering throwing the lot out the window, its really annoying, please help lads and ladies.

Hello,
According to your user agent, you are on Firefox 32. If you planned to use Firefox 31 ESR, you can grab a copy here:
* https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/
Out of curiosity, when it turns transparent, is there a "(Not Responding)" appended to the end of the window title? If you don't have the Window title being shown, it might show up if you have window titles shown on your taskbar, or in the task manager (right click on your taskbar and select "Start Task Manager"). If you do see a Not Responding, it could be a slow script on one of the pages you are viewing.

You got me experimenting ... and it was viewing the display with the green button (rather than amber) on the left that revealed the menu bar. Hovering didn't do it. Thanks for your help. First time in Apple Support.

You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

The original iPad does not have the memory and processing power to run more recent version of the iOS. 5.1.1 is the latest it can run.

Why is my menu bar blacked out?

After I wake my MacBook Pro 13" with Retina Display, sometimes the menu bar is black. Restarting fixes it; relaunching the Finder does not. Anyone have this problem? Any solutions?

Hi calyoung and all,
I don't know why it does it, but I can tell you that it only happens if you have the Translucent Menu Bar option checked. I can also tell you that if you open your browser and click on full screen, then click back to normal screen it will redisplay it. Quick and easy.
That's what I do when it happens to me. Also, if you reboot the computer, it will go away for an indeterminate amount of time.
Cheers,
GB

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 did my menu bar items dissappear? please help

my menu bar items such as wireless, time, and battery life even spot light are not showing anymore, i installed applejack and it did nothing, i tried going into prefrences i click on adding them to the menu bar, but the check mark disappears after 5 sec and nothing shows up, please help any ideas

Did you try just logging out and back in. While you can go into menu extras and start double clicking desired menu items I think doing that way may not be permanent. You should go to the individual System Preferences and make sure the appropriate checkboxes are set to place that prefrences in the menu.

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 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?

Status in Menu Bar - not showing and can't be selected

I have just found that none of the Apple Preference Panes will permit their status to be shown in the Menu Bar - whilst none Apple Preference Panes do.
At first I thought it was just Time Machine. I noticed the Time Machine icon swirling around in a finder window and went to click on its Menu Bar icon to see how much data it was backing up (hence how long it was going to take) but it wasn't there. When I went into Time Machine's Preference Pane and ticked the box, the tick appeared for a fraction of a second and disappeared.
After a restart it returned but now I have noticed that none of the Apple Preference Panes which I have tried allow their status to be shown:
Time Machine, Spaces, Displays, Sound, Bluetooth, Airport - not even the Clock!
Has anybody any idea why this might be, please?

It occurred to me that this might be a permissions problem - I had repaired permissions using TechTool Pro a few days ago and that may have caused this - who knows!
Anyway, I'm just re-repairing permissions using Disk Utility. It says 'Estimated Time: 3 hours' which considering previous permissions repair seems a long time - maybe that is an indication of the problem.
I'll post again in 3 hours!
