MacBook Air :: Menus Absolutely Opaque Because Of OS Revisions?

Jan 29, 2009

Anyone else noticed on their air that menus are completely opaque. I know more recent OS revisions toned down the translucency slightly, but this is absolutely totally opaque. It is also not affected by whether or not the menu *bar* is translucent. Nor does it seem to be just a 10.5.6 thing - a Macbook sitting next to it with the same OS revision still has noticeably translucent menus. Is this just me or is it general? I could find elsewhere was people either complaining about *less* translucent menus in particular OS updates, which this isn't, or people misunderstanding and thinking the OP meant the menu *bar*, which I don't.

MacBook Pro :: Can I Use Same Graphics Card For Two Revisions Of MBA

Apr 15, 2010

Do you guys think that the next revision of the MBP (late 2010/early 2011) will keep using the GeForce GT 330M? Looking back on the MBP's history, it seems that they usually keep using the same graphics card for two revisions. I hope this doesn't hold true because I'm planning to upgrade later this year hehe :PI hope Apple starts implementing better GPUs on their laptops once Steam and other famous gaming platforms/games make it to OSX.

MacBook Pro :: Opaque Spots On Anti Glare Screen

Jan 6, 2011

I purchased my 17" MacBook Pro last April and noticed a few months ago when cleaning the screen that there were about four small opaque spots in various sizes on the screen. I have always taken great care and never used anything other than a microfiber cloth moistened with a very small amount of water to clean the screen, so I am sure these aren't water spots, although that's what they look like. You only see them when the screen is dark and my MBP is in sleep mode, they aren't visible when it's up and running, so I'm not too majorly concerned, but it does bother me enough to question it. Too, they seem to have increased in number with time.

OS X :: Absolutely Perplexed - Strong Airport Signal But No Internet

Nov 10, 2010

here's the run down: today I moved into a new place with two roommates. They have a wifi internet connection set up (modem + dlink router). I have been given all of the info regarding log ins and passwords. My Airport is telling me I have perfect reception and that I have a very strong signal. Yet, there is no internet (when I open Safari it tells me I am not connected to the internet). I've had this problem before, but it is usually resolved by restarting the modem or the router, by restarting my computer, etc. And here's the kicker: I am using, right now as I type, someone else's wifi connection... yet I accessed it with the same password. It's a very basic password (12345). I thought maybe this was our unit's connection, but I actually unplugged the modem and continued to use the internet with this connection. The problem is that this connection is very slow and rather useless. I'm actually able to use 3-4 of these with the same password (12345). One of them is called 'dlink,' the name of our router. But our connection is supposedly under 'Nicks,' my roommate's name).

Software :: Mail Going Absolutely Nuts Sending Old Reminders

Jun 27, 2010

Today I had installed Netflix's Silverlight app to watch some movies on my 27" iMac running 10.5.8. Last night I had installed Developer tools. Today, after a restart my date/time was set to a date in 2000. On opening date/time it then showed the correct date. Later I started the computer up and Mail with iCal is sending out hundreds (up to 240 now) of old reminder emails (the system date is showing as today). I Force Quit Mail and it immediately starts up again. I got rid of my Mail and iCal prefs, restarted and immediately it starts up again. First the iCal reminder box pops up, then it launches Mail and then there it goes. Force Quit mail and it comes right back to life line in a horror movie. How can I kill this gosh darn thing. I am running a permission repair with Disk Utilities and it is finding many many permissions to fix. When it is done I will restart.

Mac Pro :: 7300gt Unable To Display Opaque Bar?

Feb 21, 2008

I have a 2006 Mac Pro with the 7300gt card. The machine is fully updated with 10.5.2 and all other updates, but there is no "transparent menu bar" checkbox in the Desktop/Screensaver preference pane. I took screengrabs of each machine, the first is the imac (alu 2.4) with the ATI HD2600, the second is the Mac Pro with the 7300gt. Anyone know what gives with this?

Applications :: Inactive Window Transparency - Started To Make Themselves Half Opaque

Feb 28, 2010

At a random time months ago (I cant pinpoint what triggered it) certain windows started to make themselves half-opaque when inactive. They seem to be "cocoa" applications (though I'm not sure the exact definition of that). The windows that are effected are: Skype v2.8.0 (chat windows only, not main 'buddy list') iMovie / iPhoto... I think there are more, I can't figure out which though. I'll update. The windows that are (surprisingly) NOT effected are: Windows Live Messenger v7.0.2

Textedit
Microsoft Word 2007
Firefox v3.6

I have the program named "Afloat" and it seems to be inconsequential to the problem.

MacBook Air :: IStat Menus Are Wrong?

Oct 25, 2009

Just a strange occurrence this evening: I just watched a DVD on superdrive: when it finished, I ejected it and glanced at my Finder menu bar. IStat Menus gave me a temp of 135 and rising (went as high as 140 degrees a few minutes after ejecting and shutting down DVD Player). But the fans aren't on at all--never came on, as far as I can tell--and the MBA feels cool to the touch. Now it's maybe 20 minutes later and iStat reads temps as still at 115 degrees. But my laptop feels totally cool to the touch. I restarted, hoping to reset iStat, but no change. Any idea as to what's going on?

MacBook Pro :: Menus Freezing And Becoming Unclickable

Ever since I upgraded, I've been having problems with menus freezing and becoming unclickable. For example, I have both Safari and Firefox open, and can't click on the menu bar for either of them.I have to close the program and restart.This happens with other apps, too.THe window itself works, just the menu bar. Also, my apps are suddenly opening the last used document whenever I open the, whether I want that one or not.Any way to turn that off?

MacBook Pro :: Cursor Keeps Scrolling From Bottom Of Menus To Top

Jun 25, 2014

This happens on-and-off... if I click on a drop-down menu, or if I'm in a browser page, and try to scroll down, the page will automatically scroll back to the top, or if I'm in a menu (for example the Applications menu) and try to click on the Utilities folder, I'm not able to because the cursor starts scrolling back to the top. It's frustrating of course, and happens sporadically. I've done disc verify permissions, re-set pram. This all started awhile back when I found I had just about filled up the harddrive. I took over 100gigs worth of movies etc. and moved them to an external HD, hoping this would clear up the problem, but it is persisting. What can I do, short of re-installing the OS?

MacBook Pro :: IStat Menus Version 3.23 Not Working Correctly On Mid 2012?

Jun 29, 2012

I purchased iStat menus for my MBP (no r) mid 2012 and it does not seem to work right. It seems to install ok without any messages popping up but once installed where I get the chosen options onto the menu bar I have a problem. When I click on say CPU or any of the others, a window shows the details but when I then click in that window, at the bottom on EDIT I get a message saying: Tried uninstalling iSta menus and reinstalling but no go.

OS X :: Adjusting Transparency Of Menus?

Sep 21, 2009

When 10.5 was released they were quite transparent and the look matched the transparent menubar. It was a nice visual flow. Then 10.5.1 came out and they went to almost opaque (apparently they are still SLIGHTLY transparent but at something like 95% its more or less impossible to tell).

Some apps, (compressor comes to mind) still have these transparent menu drop-downs and I think its a very good look, especially with the transparent menubar (again, visual flow is nice).

OS X :: Cursor Moves To Yes On Pop Up Menus

Mar 21, 2010

Every time a menu pops up asking me to choose yes or no, the mouse automatically moves to the yes like it's ready for me to click. I'm pretty sure I set it to do this a while ago, but I forgot how to change it back. It's late, I'm frustrated, and this is bothering me. A few searches didn't get me anywhere. Anyone know what I'm talking about and/or how to change it back?

OS X Yosemite :: Where Did Finder Menus Go

Dec 4, 2014

I am on OS Version 10.10.1 (14B25).  Whenever I click on the green dot in the upper left corner of an open window, the window expands to take up the entire Desktop.  Even more bothersome, the window expands to the top of the frame, covering up the Finder menus.  

I need those menus.  I have found by experimentation that waving the cursor around in the upper-left corner of the display can bring the Finder menus back into view.  But that is only temporary.  As soon as I move the cursor back to the content of the window, I lose the Finder menus again.  The only way I can get the Finder menus to remain visible is to close the window that I am working in.  Doing so defeats the whole purpose in clicking the green dot.    

Is there some preference somewhere that I can use to turn off this annoying new feature of Yosemite?

Mac Pro :: IStat Menus CPU Temp Backwards?

Dec 29, 2010

I have a 2006 Mac Pro 1,1 with dual Xeon 2.66GHz. One of my favorite apps on my Macs is iStat Menus for which I purchased a family pack. I am running latest version 3. However, when I added it to my Mac Pro I am getting goofy CPU temp readings. At idle I am reading about 60C on one CPU and 55C on the other. But then if I fire up all the cores (Handbrake for example) then the reported CPU temps DROP to about 48C and 43C (notice same differential of 5C between CPUs). All the fan speeds stay the same so it is not extra cooling kicking in. Seems to be reading the wrong thing.

I know with Intel that the CPU just reports the distance to Tjmax and then the software reading that number takes the TjMax reading for that particular CPU model and figures out the corresponding Tj. It almost seems to be what is happening is that iStat is reading the "distance to TjMax" and reporting that without doing the math. That would account for the reading working backwards I suppose.

Applications :: IStat Menus Is A Paid App?

Apr 28, 2010

was surprised to see iStat menus is now a paid app. So if I update, I'll have to buy it.

Its a nice app, but I'm not sure if its needed, even if its only 10 bucks.

Anyone else care to chime in on this?

Don't get me wrong, if I like an application, I'll buy it. I've purchased delta walker (compare utility) and will be upgrading my transmit to version 4.

Its just this type of eye candy - is it worth 10 bucks (that's the discounted price, it will go up)

ITunes :: Rip DVDs And Keep Menus And Extras?

Jun 24, 2012

I'd like to rip my DVDs each to a single file I can import into iTunes so I can play them on my various Apple devices and not lose quality, extras, menus or surround sound (5.1 or 7.1) done with an Apple program. I see many ripping applications online that are Windows based. I need Mac. I want to have the same features and quality available on the one file as I would if I were playing the DVD on my DVD player.I have an AppleTV2 (plugged into a 55" LED TV), iPad1 and iPhone4.I'm also on Lion 10.7.4 now.Is there such a Mac application that can do all this?
