Window on mac is stuck under menu bar

window on mac is stuck under menu bar

In case this happens to anyone else (and searching the web, it seems fairly common), the application that was having this problem for me was iTunes.  Stuck under the menu bar, no way to move it.  I could get it to go full screen, but going back to a window put it in the same stuck position. Quitting and restarting the application didn't help.
Finally found a solution that worked for me (2013 MacBook Air, Mavericks);  I usually have an external monitor plugged in when I'm at home, which enabled the following:
I right-clicked the iTunes icon in the Dock, went to "Options" in the popup menu, and selected "Assign to Desktop on Display 2" (which is my Air's built-in screen).  I then started the application, and it opened in the middle of the Air screen.  After that I could move it anywhere (and I reassigned it to "All Desktops" from Options).
Hope this helps someone...

  • App stuck under Menu Bar after Unlock

    Random application's Title bars are getting stuck under the Menu Bar at the top left of the screen after I unlock my Air.  Attempts to drag the window to a different location results in them snapping back to the original position.  The only fix is to close the application and restart.
    Anyone else seeing this?  Could this be an Accessibility option that's on that shouldn't be?

    I ended up re installing Mavericks after the last update (10.9.1) from a bootble USB stick. The problem appears to have gone away, so maybe my original upgrade of Mavericks caused the problem???
    I downloaded Mavericks again from the app store. When it had finished downloading (approx 5Gb) I exited the installer and created a bootable USB (needs to be 8GB minimum). Then booted from USB and ran the Mavericks installer. As I said problem seems to have disappeared......
    I used this article http://www.macworld.com/article/2056561/how-to-make-a-bootable-mavericks-install -drive.html and used the method in Option 1 in the article to create the drive. A Synopsis of the steps are:
    Format the USB using Disk Utility to Mac OS Extended with GUID partition.
    Open Terminal and paste the following command press Return and enter admin password when prompted
    sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app --nointeraction
    It takes a while to create and copy the installer. (Could be up to 30 mins)
    Finally reboot and hold down Option key while computer boots then select the USB drive.

  • On screen Keyboard stuck under menu bar

    On one of my GB songs when I select window> Keyboard, to get the onscreen keyboard to show, half of it is running off the top of my screen under the menu bar. I cannot click and drag it down so I can use it. It allows me to stretch it to the right but I cant click on a part of it that allows me to move it/re-position it on screen. The position it is in now will not allow me to use it.
    Help Please.
    Paul

    Hey thanks a lot! It was very nice of you. I have noticed that you help a lot of people with GB in these forums. Every time I search these forums I see your name helping out someone. You should be commended:)
    Back to the topic at hand, After reading your post I tried something and it worked. What was happening is when I recorded or worked on something on my 17" MacBook Pro and then brought it over to my G5 with regular (non widescreen format) dual displays it was forcing the keyboard off the screen. So I tried opening the file on the MBP and moved the keyboard way down to the bottom, saved, moved the file to the G5, and when I opened it the keyboard was in the middle. Problem solved.
    You learn something new everyday. And I am sure this will happen to someone else and hopefully they will search these forums and find this post for a solution.
    Thanks Again,
    Paul

  • Weird open command stuck under menu bar for just one specific file

    I'm having a weird problem where a little arrow in a small grey box sits under the menu bar, no matter which program is active. If I roll over it, an icon for a quicktime file shows. Clicking it open a specific file. It's one I had dragged to the desktop from the trash. If I click the icon, it opens the file from the trash. If I delete the trash, the little grey box and arrow stays there, pointing to the file in the trash even though it doesn't exist anymore. I cannot get rid of it!
    Here are some screenshots since this is hard to explain.

  • Java windows slip under menu bar, how to move?

    Hi, I have accidently dragged some Java windows beneath the (transparent) menu bar.
    Safari browser windows do not slip under the menu bar, but those created by a Java application can slide beneath it, up to the edge of the screen...just far enough to make accessing their title bars impossible. I'm able to resize the Java windows by dragging their accessible edges but I am unable to click on their title bars in order to drag them back down beneath the menu bar.
    How can I click upon title bars or resize these windows to lower them in desktop space, so their title bars are lower than the menu bar? I am currently unable to drag or click upon their obscured title bars to move these windows. Is there another way to move windows without clicking upon their title bars?
    thanks

    apparently there is a third party app called windowsmover or something like that

  • Adobe Application Manager Stuck in Menu Bar - Mac

    Hello,
    A few years ago, before I upgraded to my own Mac, I installed the CS5 trial on my husband's Mac, seeing if his computer could handle the Creative Suite. Well, it couldn't. It's an older Mac, so I purchased my own,and have since upgraded to Creative Cloud on my own Mac.
    The Adobe Application Manager is still stuck on my husband's Mac. I have uninstalled the entire CS5 suite, (I downloaded a trial version to his computer at least two years ago), run the Adobe Cleaner, and also used CleanMyMac. The updated with the number is still stuck in his menu bar.
    I tried to reinstall the Adobe Application Manager this morning, from the Adobe website, but I am receiving an error on the installation. HELP! This computer does not have any of the Adobe Creative Suite products anymore, so I can't open the Application Manager and disable it. I did try to open his Adobe Reader, and click on Check For Updates, but that just tells me that Adobe Reader is up-to-date.

    Let's see...
    Ok - In the Language tab everything's listed (and probably has been since 2008) with English at the top - so I'll delete everything except English and reboot.
    And... I'll be darned.  Now the AAM UI is in English.
    So I wonder why this has never cropped up in the 4+ years I've been running this rig?
    Oh well - this workaround will get me through the installs, but it seems like the AAM could use a little polish in this area
    Thanks!

  • Windows slide under Menu Bar

    I've noticed recently that I can make application windows slide under the Menu Bar.  Some slide under then 'snap' back into view when I release the mouse button holding the window down.  Others that don't display the grey bar at the top of the window (like the iTunes mini player for example) don't 'snap' back into view.
    Anyone else have this issue or offer a solution?  I am running 10.8.5.  Thanks.

  • Application stuck under menu toolbar

    An application I'm running (Filezilla FTP client) is stuck under the mac menu toolbar. I can't grab the toolbar of the application to move it or access what I need to access. I've researched this issue and other people have had the same problem, but none of their solutions have worked for me. I've tried changing the resolution of my screen, disconnecting my dual monitor, "zoom" is not available in the program I'm working with, and I've tried a multitude of expose/spaces/random key commands to no avail. Any other ideas?
    Using 10.9.5

    I can't see from your screenshot if there available screen space around the window. You could try dragging the window down from one of the bottom edge - making it smaller first if necessary (when the cursor is near the edge it has double arrow that indicates changing the window size), then make sure that your mouse is enough inside the window that the cursor is a normal one-arrow and drag it down. Repeat if necessary until the title bar reappears.

  • When I maximize my screen on my Mac it hides the menu bar and the typed tool bar at the top of the screen - how do i fix this

    When I maximize the screen on my Mac Book Pro it hides the menu bar and the typed tool bar at the top of the screen as well.  How do I undo this?

    10.7 "Full Screen" is a feature imported from IOS, the land of tiny screens.
    To use a larger window on a REAL computer, adjust the Window's size to suit your needs. Do not use "Full Screen".

  • When I turn on the mac there is no menu bar

    http://imgur.com/Q6nOgHX look that picture!
    Someone has this problem?

    Hey there Iboppie,
    It sounds like you need to have the menu bar showing in iTunes. This article will help you with that:
    iTunes: Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5610
    To turn on iTunes menus in Windows 8 or 7, do one of the following:
    Press the Alt key.
    This will turn the menus on and off temporarily. This will change back to the default, the iTunes menus being turned off, when you next close iTunes.
    To keep the iTunes menus active, change the setting by selecting the Menu icon in the upper-left, and then selecting Show Menu Bar. Alternatively, you can press Control-B.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Windows 8.1 0 PSE 12 Menu Bar

    Just switched to Windows 8.1.  PSE 8 was totally incompatible despite the Adobe website says it is compatible.  So I downloaded a free trial of PSE 12 to test compatiblily.  Seems to be OK, but the menu bar, tool bar, etc are extremely small font and icons.  Can this be adjusted to a larger format>

    Thanks for the suggestion.  It slows down the twirling crop cursor, but not ieen Expert mode.  And there is still a lot of trouble in Quick.  It now takes me three or four times as long to work on a picture than it did a month ago.  But at least I can make some progress.

  • Hide .mac status icon from menu bar - how do I do it?

    Title says it all.
    I want to hide the .mac status icon from the menu bar but can't seem to find a setting anywhere.
    Anyone got any ideas/
    Thanks
    Marc

    Hi MarcMc,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    To remove the .Mac sync status indicator from the menu bar, open System Preferences > .Mac, click the Sync tab and uncheck the 'Show status in menu bar' checkbox.
    To remove the iChat status indicator from the menu bar, open iChat's preferences and uncheck the 'Show status in menu bar' checkbox in the General pane.
    Most menu bar icons can also be removed by holding down the Command (Apple) key and dragging them away from the menu bar.

  • It is possible for linux version to use the same icons of windows and mac version in the navigation bar?

    Firefox for linux uses the gtk theme icon in navigation bar, instead mac and windows uses other (trasparent) icons . I find more beautiful icons used in mac and win. Is there any way to force firefox to use this type of icons?

    Have you checked the themes add ons? You may find a "Windows 7" theme or something similar!

  • Linking Menu Bar with views in the same window

    Hi everyone,
    I have a menu bar in a view and I would like to link each one of the elements with other view through an URL. The problem when I do this is that the view appears in a different window and I want that appears in the same window. Because if it doesn't, I'm going to have one window for each element of the menu bar :s
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    As per my understanding, your requriement is: (Correct me if i am wrong).
    You have one default View and Window. In the View you are displaying the menu bar. Each menu bar item contails one specific URL. When user clicks on any of the menu bar item you need to open the corresponding URL in the same View.
    1)  Take the view set with two rows. In first row add the default MenuView (menu bar) and in second row embed another View (For example: ResultView).
    2). In RestultView create IFrame UI element (Note : it is deprecated). And bind one cotext attribute to url.
    Map this context attribute to MenuView also throug the Component Controller.
    3). Create inbound plug to MenuView and outbound plug to ResultView. On click on any of the menubar items change the URL in the context attribute and then navigate to the ResultView through plugs.
