Time, battery, wifi, its etc in menu bar flickering after click

After running updates of security for 10.9.5 yesterday, OS specific menu items flicker after you have clicked on each of them (put on with the button wifi, bluetooth, timemachine, volume level, battery and time.) Projector works fine and notifications). This making it inaccessible via the menu bar. Other buttons of applications work fine (Adobe Creative Cloud, Little Snitch, DigitalJuice). Also when I started this morning, the start screen has a loading bar appears for a short time. I can still access everything through the system preferences, however, prefer to make it work as it should. All proposals/solutions? Thank you.

Try a reboot.

Make a backup using Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure that data files can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.

Try to set up another admin user account to see if the same problem persists. If back to my Mac is enabled in system preferences, the guest account will not work. The intention is to see if it is specific to an account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.

Isolate a problem by using a different user account

If the problem is still there, try to start safe mode using your usual account.  Disconnect all devices except those necessary for the test. Shut down the computer and then put it up after a 10 second wait. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the SHIFT key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. Startup is considerably slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a check for directory and disables all start-up and connection, among other things. When you restart normally, the initial restart may be slower than normal. If the system is operating normally, there may be 3rd party applications that pose a problem. Try to delete/disable the third-party applications after a reboot using the UN-Installer. For each disable/remove, you need to restart if you do them all at once.

    Each time Firefox opened

    == July 9, 2010

    Hello Sher.

    If you are talking about the menu bar, press ALT or F10 from your keyboard to make the Menu bar temporarily visible. If you want it to be visible at all times, go in view > toolbars > Menu bar, or right click on the Navigation bar (for example, the Reload button), and then select menu bar.

    If this does not help, right-click the navigation toolbar, select Customize... and click on restore by default. If it does not immediately appear, try pressing ALT or F10. You can enter in view > toolbars > Menu bar to make it visible at all times, or with the right button of the Navigation toolbar and select menu bar.

    If none of this helps, you may have a problem with some Add on Firefox which is an obstacle to the normal behavior of your Firefox. Try to disable all add-ons (just to see) to see if Firefox goes back to normal.

  • View creating Spry menu bar shows only preview of items in list boxes

    In Dreamweaver CS6, all of a sudden, my Spry stopped display in Design view menu bar, unless I click on Live. Live, it displays correctly with all styles. As in any browser displays correctly. Without Live in Design view, I see the box with no style and no text. However, if I click on the text, it will highlight the invisible text and it shows the location of the text in code view. This seems to be an option that I turned on accidentally or is it controlled by the properties?

    Thank you.  Menu Pop Magic 2 solved all the problems I had with Spry quickly and well.

  • How to restore the menu bar (file-editing-display) PDF?

    How to restore the menu bar (file-editing-display) PDF? I use version Adobe Acrobat 8.1.3. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

    Kolja

    I had a similar problem with Adobe Acrobat Pro X, where the menu bar would not appear.  I was able to get menu bar to appear if I resized the document by placing the pointer on the right, left, top or bottom of the document (you see a double arrow), and then by clicking and dragging.

    The problem was definitely solved for all documents by opening Adobe Acrobat without having to open a document.  Then click on Edit in the menu bar.  Then click on Preferences.  In the preferences of the box click on full screen at the top left.  Then find the section Navigation screen complete.  Check the box show the Navigation bar.  Finally click on OK at the bottom right.

    I hope this helps someone and saves a lot of frustration.
