icon black triangle in the menu bar

MacBookPro 15 "w, end of 2012 retina

OS X 10.8.5 (ML)

Equipped with Safari or numbers, with several other applications in the level, when I noticed a black equilateral triangle with rounded corners and not of brands in a position of extreme left of the menus "icon" at the right end of the menu bar.

When I placed the mouse pointer, I got the spinning beachball, clicking on it produces no action, so I started activity monitor to take a look at the list of processes, where there is no element of red text saying "such" is not responding.

Finally, I did a restart and checked through all the accounts on the machine without seeing the new icon.

Any ideas as to what it was?

Rgards,

Barry

You can take a screenshot and post it?

Command + shift + 4

Click and drag the cross on a reasonable part of the menu bar, so we get an idea of the place where, and which is adjacent to the triangle.

Try to do not include personal information.

The screenshot will be placed on your desktop.

You can use Preview-> tools-> annotate to draw circles, boxes, arrows, and put the text on the next page if you feel you need our attention on something specific, or block anything sensitive that went up in the screenshot.

Start a response to this tread, then drag and drop the screen shot file in the answer box.  Add any additional text as the case.

  • startup, icons are missing in the menu bar

    After installing startup ElCapitan, icons are missing from the menu bar. There are empty spaces where start icons should be. Basically the icons are there but they are invisible.

    Be specific, or better yet show a screenshot where you expect to see the icons (you can use the application overview use the arrows to point to areas) and let us know exactly which apps you expect to see.

    Also, make sure that the apps that you expect to see are supposed to work in El Capitan!

  • Bookmarks icon is not in the menu bar

    Hello, I realize people have asked questions similar to this, so apologies, but after reading the responses, I'm still having a problem. I have the little Menu installed to create more space on my screen, and so I adapted my toolbars to fit everything that I need in my bar Tools menu. (I did this by going to view, toolbars, customize and drag the icons, I tried the toolbar customization and the navigation toolbar on my toolbar on the Menu. Once completed, I could uncheck navigation and bookmarks toolbars to only show).

    One of the icons that I dragged out of the toolbar customization was the bookmarks icon (not one that clicking you get the sidebar; this one, that clicking you get your bookmarks is displayed as a drop-down list). This icon has now disappeared, or rather, he disappeared from sight, because when I click on view, toolbars, customize, it is visible again, next to all my other icons. It's only when I close the toolbar to customize the icon disappears. It is not true that I can't move it to the Menu bar by going into customize; Is that, once I'm out of customization, the icon is no longer visible. It is the icon that I usually click on most, and it is very frustrating having now either click Menu, click Favorites to see my favorites, or use Favorites Sidebar icon instead. Can anyone help? I tried to re - install, where there was a small problem.

    Thank you very much.

    The Tiny Menu extension is no longer supported by the developer, so IMO, it would be preferable not to use this extension.
    Are you aware that the Menu bar can be temporarily revealed quite easily by pressing the Alt key? Hide the Menu bar, not the toolbar Navigation.

    And if you want to use the cropped Compact Menu 2 , the usual extension would be replaced by a vertical 'menu' when you press the ALT - see the screenshot - which has the same menu as the Menu bar, but vertical. All you need to do is to move the Compact Menu 2 "button" in the Palette to customize 'hide '.

    As far the bookmarks for bookmarks menu drop-down button, this button has "a mind of its own" "depending on where you place it. his ' normal location is located on the toolbar bookmarks, but if you do not display the bookmarks toolbar and try to move this button, it sometimes goes into hiding. I don't remember especially, but this changed in Firefox 19, 20 or 21 (IIRC)and will "hide" much easier than with previous versions. Part of 'concealment' has to do with not showing the Navigation and toolbars of bookmarks with the items on the bar of Navigation up to the Menu bar and not the mobile reverse.

  • Under the menu bar is black and it's annoying. How can I solve this problem?

    I updated Firefox and now there is a black space between the menu bar and the search bar. It has never been their before and it's pretty boring. Also when I scroll a button it says it black. That has never happened before. I think it's because I have a version of alienware windows 7.

    You can see in view > toolbars to see if you can identify that this toolbar.

    • Firefox > Options
    • View > toolbars

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

    You may also need to disable transparency in Windows 7.

    Right-click in the free space on your desktop.

    Left click on personalization.

    There are four options in Windows 7 at the bottom of the screen, select 'window color and appearance '.

  • Impossible to disable the menu bar black in El Capitan

    An application that I used works option "menu bar black" of OSX and while I like it better than the light menu bar some of my menu icons are not visible in dark mode and so I would like to disable. However, the problem is that I can't. Whenever I have untick "use the menu bar black and anchor" setting in system preferences > general, nothing happens. Then when I close the system preferences and open it again, I find that the box is checked once more. (I also uninstalled all traces of the original application that made that change, reinstalled, tried to turn the option off, clear again, etc. - all without success).

    I tried to check in the Library/preferences /. GlobalPreferences, but it doesn't seem to be an option for this setting (while I can see the setting to hide the menu bar).

    Any ideas?

  • How can I change the height of the menu bar to allow my large icons/buttons maintain their size?

    I've recently updated to FF31 FF28. Totally different user interface, I get that. I waited to update until I psych myself to try something different. I have the default theme Australis and Noia Fox Theme, which is designed with the larger icons/buttons for those with Visual needs. On my screen at this moment, I have the title bar, menu bar, tab bar and toolbar url/addon with the menu "Burger" on the right. I placed icons in the bar of menus, kept the House icon in the bar of the addon, and then there are the default icons in the menu popup. When I activate the Noia Fox Theme, look great icons in the addon/url bar, even in the popup menu; clear, large, easy to see. However, the icons in the menu bar (not the menu popup) are less than half their size origin/destination. So I'm going to default Australis theme, reboot and same problem, but not quite as dramatic as the default theme is smaller at first.

    My thought then, is that there is a setting in the menu bar which resizes the icons/buttons for a small default size. This setting can be changed to allow icons to keep their size original (or near it) and if so, how? I like the location of the menu bar on my screen, underneath the title bar above the tabs bar. Works very well with the new Fox only better addon that attaches to the tab bar and mask the url bar, a 'new' for me and I love him. I know that I can get the CTR with an additional bar and I tried that. The question, then, is that the extra bar appears below the tab bar and that it is not moveable to above the bar below the title bar and tabs.

    For the moment, I have just the two themes, security addons added and The Fox but better. I haven't added any other addons of appearance again in order to minimize potential conflicts/problems. I have not tinkered with internal FF by default not to follow the other parameters to tell me (I think that's what I did). To the best of my knowledge limited, I kept the changes and customizations to a minimum. And Yes, by your feature of conjecture to posted questions, I'm under Win 8.1 and 31 FF.

    I think I've offered sufficient detail so that others may try to reproduce the problem. Otherwise, let me know and I'll try to answer as soon as I can. Thank you very much for any help offered.

  • Firefox installed on Windows 7 but the menu bar and icons is filled with small horizontal lines on the icons and the menu bar...

    I installed Firefox 21 on a new Windows 7 operating system. The menu bar and the toolbar at the top of the windows is full small horizontal lines. Sometimes, there are more lines and sometimes less. It makes the icons and menu items almost impossible to see. So far, is that the Firefox screen that made it.
