Why is the status bar purple with a microphone icon?

My status bar at the top is now purple with an microphone icon. Why is this?

This occurs when you pair your iPhone to your in car audio system and start siri. If you look at the purple header carefully you will see the siri style mic logo on the right.
To get rid of the purple bar:
1. Disconnect your iPhone from your car audio
2. Invoke siri
3. Switch siri off again without doing anything and the status bar should go back to normal.

Why is the status bar/ add-on bars missing ?

I recently refreshed my Firefox after 37 installed and crashed every time after. Once I loaded I added Status-4-Evar and the Bar is not showing up.
So I tried loading two other add-on bars Zero and I know several of of my add-ons use that.
YES i did the rename the localstore.rdf and xulstore.json and tried that step I tried also to disable extensions too to see it it would help and nothing.
So anyone know how to solve this?

<blockquote>
If you '''are''' using Classic Theme Restorer ''(as shown in your first screenshot)'', you don't need any add-on bar extensions and S-4-E really isn't needed either to get the Add-on Bar back.
All you need to do is enable the Add-on Bar via a right-click on the Titlebar or in View > Toolbars from the Menu Bar.
CTR and S-4-E so work together quite well, but not sure about installing any other Add-on Bar extensions with either - probably going to create a conflict.

Yes I tried disable then and removed them but the Status bar does not show.
Funny thing it does show when starting up Firefox and Closing they appear for brief moment. And it does show many of my add-on on the bar I need to use. :/
is there something blocking them or about:config option I need to change?

In 1 applications, e.g. Norton Virus Scan, and Macware DiskToolsPro, the status bar shows 100% but task is still running. Where it says x of y items complete, x is y. This also happens in Windows 7 with Bootcamp. Please explain.

In >1 applications, e.g. Norton Virus Scan, and Macware DiskToolsPro, the status bar sometimes shows 100% complete but task is still running. Under the status bar, where it says something like "x of y items complete," x is greater than y. This also happens in Windows 7 with Bootcamp. Why does this happen?

Start with this article: iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim - Apple Support
If the steps here do not work, you probably have a hardware issue and will need to replace the device.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Maybe a long shot, but WD is not known for the quality of some of their enclosures, although I do like the drives themselves. It may be worth mounting this drive in a different enclosure, something like one of OWC's FireWire enclosures with the highly reliable Oxford chip sets. I wouldn't be inclined to trust a WD enclosure, especially if it already seemed to be acting in a flakey manner.
Here's an example of what I mean:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MEP924FW8E2O/
I have 3 of these and I really like them.
From what I understand, if the drive spins up, it is often possible to recover data from it. To be absolutely certain to destroy the data, you just about have to take a hammer to the disk. Hopefully, there will be a way to get your data back.
Good luck!

Prior to updating to iOs 6.3.1 my system worked perfectly.
Can anybody help please.

When I try to sync my iphone with itunes, it tells me a warning that I don't have enough memory and yet the status bar at the bottom says that I do and I know that I have enough memory. What's the problem? It happens with the ipods and ipad as well!!!

The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version. You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes. Or you can adapt to the new look.

Up next doesn't seem to work properly with multiple speakers over airplay. The status bar on the computer shows the song playing, but not over airplay. When I restart the song it plays, but the same thing happens when the next song cues up. Any ideas?

ITunes store shows "accessing iTunes store..." for few seconds and after that its blank with an apple logo inside the status bar.

Hi,
I have recently installed iTunes latest version (10.5.1.42) on Win XP SP3.
The problem is, when accessing iTunes, It connects to the internet, I can sign in (It shows my username in sign in bar), But nothing is shown in the iTunes store window in iTunes. It shows "accessing iTunes store..." for few seconds and after that its blank with an apple logo inside the status bar.
ANU SUGGESSION???

Sorry, no. The screen image you see is specifically saying you need to connect it to a computer. You could take it to an Apple retailer for help.

Every time Firefox opened

Your code is absolutely unreadable - even if someone was willing to
help, it's simply impossible. I do give you a few tips, though: If you
understand your code (i.e. if it really is YOUR code), you should be
able to realize that your minimum and maximum never get set (thus they
are both 0) and your exam 3 is set with the wrong value. SEE where
those should get set and figure out why they're not. Chances are you
are doing something to them that makes one 'if' fail or you just
erroneously assign a wrong variable!

Do you think it is cool to kill the status bar?

I have been a HUGE fan of Firefox and have been using it since years. The only reason why I loved using firefox was because it allowed users to have more control over their browsing. However, a few recent changes have made me believe that FF is going the IE route.
Tell me one good reason to kill the status bar! I don't see a reason why you should've killed the status bar completely. You could've allowed people to either stick on to the add-on bar or stick with the old status bar but you've completely killed it.
Status bar was one of the most important tools on my browser and allowed me to quickly use my add-ons. May I ask why are you going the IE route? Why did you remove it? Was it giving any problem?
Why don't you ask users before slaughtering the useful tools? Can't tell you how annoyed I am because I can't get access to my favorite tools now. Thank you for adding frustration to my job.

I understand people are volunteering their time to help others and appreciate that fact. However, my grudge is not with those who are helping. My grudge is with the FF team who's kicking things around for desktop users.
A simple solution would've been, remove the status bar "by default" for different user segments (desktops, tablets, mobile devices, etc) but should've allowed to add it at the user's discretion.
Removing a "good feature" completely is like depriving a big chunk of user segment from that feature. How is that justifiable? Fine, if the FF team wishes to focus on mobile users but are they fine to afford losing all the desktop users? You support this ideology? Anyone?

Can I make the fonts bigger in the status bar and the notification pop ups?

I'm really struggling to read some of the pop ups. And the status bar is almost impossible. Why is the font smaller on an iPad then an iPhone? I can't read the tabs either. The zoom feature helps but come on already. I've made the fonts bolder but they are just too small. I'm 54 and have worn glasses since I was 6 and there are several areas on this device that are nearly impossible to read. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I've done computer support for many years. Recently moved to a retirement community where the residents have computers of all varieties, and much less trouble with macs than with PCs BUT Safari is terrible for older people with its tiny print, black on dark gray. Latest versions of Chrome seem to crash a lot, so I'd like to encourage them to use Safari, but the tiny print on tabs is a stumbling block. Is there any extension or plug-in that will help with THAT? I know how to increase font size on web sites, that's not the problem. It is the specific Safari tabs that are the problem.
