Yosemite: menu bar reloading while multiple monitors

Hello,
Running Yosemite in a Macbook Pro 15 Retina (Mid 2012) in multiple monitors, clicking in one monitor menu bar and then the other, the menu reloads.
Then, after the reload, I have to click again.
Please see video (you will see only one monitor but I am clicking in the other and then in this one, and you can see the top bar reloading):

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Right side of menu bar hidden after 2nd monitor disconnect

Hello, When I disconnect my 30" external monitor from my MacBook Pro, the far right side of my menu bar disappears -- the part with the clock and battery information, bluetooth menu and various other little doodads. How do I get the menu back?
Also, is there anyway to keep this from happening?
When the monitor is attached, I have it set up so the menu bar goes on the monitor, as well as the Dock.
The Dock resizes perfectly when I disconnect the external monitor. It's just the menu bar that's screwy.
I'm running an up-to-date version of OS X 10.5.2.

This is how Apple's marketing materials describe the process of hooking up an external monitor to a MacBook Pro:
"Connect an Apple Cinema Display to expand your desktop and lose nothing in translation."
--http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/features.html
This is false advertising. You lose your clock, WiFi menu, Time Machine menu, Spotlight and more in the translation.
This is a very real bug.

Yosemite menu bar blinking/freezing

Since updating to Yosemite, the menu bar on the right side has not functioned well. The elements on that side (wireless icon, sound, time, name, spotlight) blink on and off. It is incredibly distracting while I'm trying to work. A new thing happened just now: The time is steadily shown, instead of blinking, but it's frozen at 12:22 pm. When I open Time and Date in Preferences, that shows the correct time.
The Mac is a 21.5-inch with a 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. I am using Yosemite 10.10.1. Please help - I have searched a lot and found no solution.

Do a backup.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Re-launch Finder by restarting and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

Yosemite menu bar, input source Greek flag removed. How to get it back?

In the new OS X Yosemite, the menu bar input source country flag has been removed for some countries. The Greek flag got removed, while the disputed "Macedonian" flag is intact. What was the reasoning behind this? This is very offensive to Greek OS X users. Please put back the flag, or post a solution to this asap. It will not go unnoticed.

To convey your views to Apple, you need to use
http://www.apple.com/feedback
Apple seems to have been gradually replacing flags with alphabetic symbols wherever possible. Chinese and Japanese have been this way for quite a long time, and in Yosemite I count 30 keyboards (including Greek), nearly half the total, without the flag. This is harder to do for Macedonian, which is one of many countries using the Cyrillic alphabet.
The easiest way to get the Greek flag back would be to download the app Ukelele, which includes copies of the Greek keyboard and the old flag icon, which you can install and use instead of Apple's.

I can also send the keyboard and flag to you if you want if you provide an email.

Menu bar reloading when switching desktops

My Menu bar is reloading everytime I switch desktops.
It blinks off, then loads up each icon agin in order.
It is quite distracting.
Any ideas??
Thanks!

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process ("SystemUIServer") in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Airplay icon disappeared from Yosemite menu bar. Yet appears in iTunes. How do I get it back so I can airplay from my mac-mini

This seems to have transpired since the upgrade of my Motorola ARRIS SURFboard modem/router to the duel band 2.4G/5G model. (white) All my apple products work great via WI-fi and I'm getting 58Mbps average. I can stream audio through iTunes. The existing issue is simply no icon to mirror or stream content from my mac-mini to the Apple TV.

First, open System Preferences -> Displays, and make sure that the option "Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available" is ticked. If it is ticked, untick and tick it. Note that you can also try choosing your Apple TV there next to "AirPlay Mirroring" to check that it shows up correctly.

Why Does My Mac Menu Bar Disappear While I Am In Safari?

How can I reset so my Mac tool bar shows in Safari

I had a problem in Yosemite where the top menu just disappeared, so I could not even tell if I was in Firefox or Safari. I could not see the toolbar which contained, for example, "Safari File Edit View History Bookmarks Develop Window Help". The same apple for the Firefox, Excel and all the other top toolbars.
I accidentally solved it when I was in Excel and pressed option-command-v. This locked up and destroyed my Excel Spreadsheet and there was no "Undo" option on that command either. The side effect was that the top toolbar came back. It was a fault I have never seen before and one which I could not easily find on ant websites. Your fault seems to be one of the closest to what I had.

Flickering Menu Bar on Inactive Secondary Monitor

I've been running Maverick about a month. I haven't noticed any problems until recently.
I have a 2013 13' Macbook Air, 1.3 i5, 4GB RAM.
I have a secondary monitor and the inactive display flickers. It doesn't matter which display is the primary. The inactive flickers intermitately. It might be fine for a few minutes then I can see it flicker out of the corner of my eye. It's really distracting.
Is this something Apple needs to address or do I need to change settings somewhere?
Best.

Same problem here - though this thread suggests it may be related to Google Drive:

How do I get rid of the stupid menu bar on my 2nd display?

I do not want my menu bar to display on my 2nd monitor. The fact that apple decided that it would be okay to reduce my usable space on my 2nd screen infuriates me. How do I revert this back to how it was previously? I don't want the menu bar (or the dock) on the 2nd screen, at all.
I didn't see any settings to get rid of it, so I assume there is a defaults write to get rid of it..
When I "drag the menu bar" to get rid of it, via the settings, nothing happens. It is still there, except now it is greyed (and still useless). And it still takes up the space and makes the 2nd screen less useful.
I want it to behave like it did previously: the 2nd monitor has no menu bar that blocks usage, and is used as a place where I drag extra windows.
Any help? This is /really/ annoying and I honestly regret upgrading.
Thanks
- Joey

If you do not want to utilize the new full screen funciton independently (i.e. a full screen app on monitor one & a separate full screen app on monitor 2) go to System Prefs ->Mission Control -> Uncheck the box 'Displays have separate Spaces'. This will remove the dock & menu bar from your 2nd monitor. Unfortunately, until there is an update, you have to choose between the two options.

How do I get rid of the MP3tube menu bar/program that has shown up on my computer ?

Every time I open Firefox the menu bar for MP3TUBE comes up at the bottom menu bar. it opens the program, not AOL, the program that I want.
In the search box of MP3TUBE, it has "powered by yahoo".

Horizontal menu bar shows serif type font in Live View and Preview but sans serif is in css file

Help I am using the Spry horizontal menu bar and while it is working fine, it is showing a serif font in Live View and in all Browsers even though I have selected a sans serif font. What gives? I have attached the SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css

Add this to your embedded styles:
body {
background-color: #999;
font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
using, of course, the font list you want.
All those styles that rely on the 'default' font will now default to the Trebuchet font list (or to your chosen list).

How can I make disappear the finder tool bar in the second monitor?

How can I make disappear the finder tool bar in the second monitor?
(I have to use ProVideoPlayer, a professional application for presenting videos and I really need a clean second monitor!)

After changing that setting and logging out and back in as it indicated, do you still have two menu bars?
If you are already set up that way and want to move the menu bar to the other monitor, drag it there in the Arrangement tab of the Displays system pref.
