Why is the apple menu list displaced?
At the finder level under the apple menu the list is displaced to the right and cannot be read.
Hello stude:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
I am unable to understand what is happening from your description. If you post a screen shot of the problem, someone here will, hopefully, be able to suggest a correction.

Why has Apple moved Dock controls from the Apple menu?
So I took the plunge and installed Yosemite. And then hunted for the oh-so-simple control to move the dock from one location to another, as I connected my MBP to a monitor. But where's it gone!! No "Dock" in the Apple menu - panic!! Then I find it in preferences. But why oh why Apple? It was a mouse-hold and single click to move or resize the Dock; now it's Open Prefs, select the dock prefs, then select the position, size etc I want. That's 3 clicks, with lots of mouse movement, instead of one. And this is meant to be progress!
Why?
And can I revert to having this control in the Apple menu?
Thankstbirdvet, surely that's an intrusive and irrelevant question! It's what I want to do, the system should allow me to do it quickly and easily, as it has done in the past.
But if you really must know, it's because sometimes I'm on my laptop, sometimes I'm on laptop + monitor and they look different, are differently configured and so on. -

Why are the iPhotos not listed in the finder?
why are the iPhotos not listed in the finder?
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. -
i did follow "From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences. Choose View > Time Machine. Set Time Machine to On if it is off "
. .....but i couldn't find the time capsule from airport utility..... why?Are you using a new 802.11ac Time Capsule - the "tall" one - and are you still using Mac OS X 10.6.8?
You need OS X 10.7.5 "Lion" or later, or an iOS device, to configure an 802.11ac Time Capsule:

How do I remove "Recent Items" Documents from the apple menu?
I've been searching for an answer to this question for the better part of 3 hours now. W
Several iterations of osx ago, there was the ability to separately limit how many recent items were shown for Applications, Documents and Servers. Over the years, I simply installed a newer version of osx on top, and surprisingly my recent items always eliminated the Documents from the list.
I've since done a clean install of mavericks after installing an SSD, and i've lost this small but important part of my work flow. No matter what I've tried to remove the documents from Recent Items, it always shows up. I can still boot into my old HDD (which is now installed as a supplementary drive and also updated and running mavericks 10.9.2), and see from clicking on the Apple Menu > Recent Items that it only displays Applications and Servers.
Try as hard as I can, I can't simply figure out how to remove the documents from the recent items menu. I've tried editing the com.apple.recentitems.plist file, to show 0 items for documnets, but this never seems to work. (I've since read that this file is simply rewritten on logout.) Strangely, if I go into the old setup System Preferences, Recent Items: it is showing as None. I also suspect that maybe I used Tinker Tools or some other utility to change some command line preference (using the gui) several years back. Not sure how I could investigate what would need to be done to compare files or otherwise figure out how to remove the documents section from the recent items menu.
It's starting to drive me crazy. Anyone?The Apple menu is at the top left hand corner of your screen, click on it and about this Mac is the first choice.
Click twice on Version to get serial number. -
My child was on my computer and now my dock doesn't display on my screen. I checked the resources for help and it hasn't worked for me. It says to go to the apple menu, and click on the dock display. However, the "dock" isn't an option on my dropdown list. Please help!
What options are selected and deselected if you go to System Preferences and Dock?
1. click the apple logo
2. click System Preferences
3. click Dock
What's there?
It's possible your child just messed around with these settings and moved the dock to the left or right and triggered auto-hide and so forth -
Why did the Apple 'genius' tell my my bulging battery was normal?
Why did the Apple 'genius' tell my my bulging battery was normal
The battery has a cycle count of 101 and is listed in good condition and @ 2 years old. The 'genius' said it was 'normal' and NOT defective. And was probably because I left it plugged in most of the time.
I remined him how the lithium ion battery and its associated charging system are supposed to be very sophisticated and are reported to not overcharge the battery and to extend its life. I also cited where I had read that the swelling usually occurrs when a battery does not ventilate properly,
I asked him why the five other Apple laptops I owned for years never had that 'normal' condition.
I pretty much got the dumb deer-in-the headlights stare. -
System Preferences not working from the Apple Menu
Howyeh!
So I made the mistake (for me) of upgrading to Leopard. Discovered that my version of Quark doesn't work at all with it, so had to downgrade back to Tiger. Having done so, and run the combined update, my System Preferences don't work any more, when I try to access them via the Apple menu. They work fine if I go into the Applications folder and manually open them, just not the Apple menu (or if I option click on the desktop background.)
I've verified/repaired permissions in disk utility, as well run Techtool Pro in an effort to get it working, and deleted the System Preference plists in my users/library/preferences folder.
Finally, I located the cause of this (I think). All the prefPane files located in the system/library/prefpanes folder are set to open with System Preferences 5.0, which I believe is a Leopard component, which has a completely different icon than good ol' 3.5. I notice too that when I try to run System Preferences from the Apple menu, this odd icon version appears in the "recent items" list.
Okay - so the upshot seems to be that the version of system preferences being referenced by the system is the newer leopard version. Only thing I could think of doing was zapping the PRAM, but that didn't do the trick. So how can I revert back to the old version being used?Ooop, just ignore me. Deleted the System Preferences in the Previous System folder, and everything's hunky dory (for now!)

I cannot log onto the App Store, the page appears when I call it from the dock or the Apple menu and I can call the log-in box from the menu bar, but on signing in the spinning icon just keeps spinning,(not the beachball). Using 10.6.7 and up-to-date on all software. Any suggestions?
Could be a third party app preventing you from being able to login.
Mac App Store: Sign in sheet does not appear, or does not accept typed text
If it's not a third party issue, follow the instructions here.
Quit the MAS if it's open.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left then open the Library folder then the Caches folder.
Move the com.apple.appstore and the com.apple.storeagent files from the Caches folder to the Trash
From the same Library folder open the Preferences folder.
Move these files Preferences folder to the Trash: com.apple.appstore.plist and com.apple.storeagent.plist
Same Library folder open the Cookies folder. Move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
Relaunch the MAS. -
I have an iPod Classic 4th Generation and my click wheel connection is broken and so does not work. I can still play music on my Bose dock station but I cannot choose which album I want to play because I cannot scroll down the playlists. I can just play the first tune in the list or from where I last paused a tune. Is there a way to scroill down the list, including the top menu list, without using the click wheel?
Index Values, I think, is the property you are looking for. Set the index to 0 to be at the top.
There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

My Power MAC G5 has a peculiar problem. The monitor fails to report until the machine is started and shut down 5 or 6 times. Once it has booted it can be restarted without incident from the Apple menu. I have swapped out all of the hardware. Monitor, Memmory,Video Card and reset the PRAM. After resetting the PRAM it booted on the first attempt and I thought it was solved. But the next day it was back to starting and stopping until the Monitor came on. Does anyone have a suggestion? Thanks
It could be a bad PRAM battery corrupting your PRAM. Typically when I have monitor issues on startup it is a bad PRAM battery.

Apple's PRAM reset directions - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
If you have a digital multimeter you can check the condition of your present battery. It should read at least 3.2V if it is the 3.6V half-AA battery type. A new battery provides 3.67 Volts DC. A bad battery provides under 3.2 Volts DC. Ideally this should be measured while the battery is under load; added recommendation from Hans777:
>I have recently found out that an exhausted battery will still indicate >3.6 V with a high internal resistance VM.
>
>Checking incircuit: powercord disconnected press PMU reset button for >about 5 sec before measuring.
>
>Checking outside: load the battery with a 1500 Ohm resistor when measuring.
Alternatively, test the battery while it is still in the computer.
If the battery is more than 5 years old, especially if you totally disconnect the computer from the power regularly, or have left it unplugged for several months at one time, it is likely the battery is dead.
Sometimes you have to do a more intensive reset of hardware management:
