OS X :: Mac Wont Wake Up And Menu Bar Frozen Acts Busy?
Feb 27, 2009I have this problem with my mac and I will start by saying I have all Updates on my Imac 24" alum.
This problem started a few days ago. This install is 16months old and running with no problems until now.
in the morning I wake up to a blank screen (normal) however it will not wake up from sleep I have to do a hard reset. If I put the computer into sleep it will wake up when I want it to. So I think it is when its been idle for a few hours or more.
also I noticed that the Menu bar time is frozen and when I move the mouse over the icon I get a busy Icon. I've tried to run Activity monitor, or disk utility while the menu bar is frozen but they are unresponsive and will not load
I turned off sleep last night and woke up to the mac working ok, but I still have the menu bar problems.
MacBook Pro :: Suddenly All Of The Wireless Signals Disappear From AirPort Menu Up On Menu Bar
Dec 27, 2009I've realized that sometimes I "lose" my wireless signal. I am not using an AirPort router (I'm using Linksys, if that's at all helpful). I've noticed that suddenly all of the wireless signals disappear from the AirPort menu up on the menu bar, except the network that I am connected to (i.e., I only see my router's name there). It also becomes impossible for me to browse the internet, so what I've done to troubleshoot this is disable the AirPort, put the computer to sleep, and disconnect/reconnect my router. When I turn it on, it seems to work. I've also tried simply disabling and then re-enabling AirPort, but it doesn't work after that.

Sep 18, 2010my "services" menu has disappeared as an option in finder. When I try to access it by right-clicking a finder item (folder or file), it's just plain missing. However if I look for it under the finder menu bar, the arrow beside service says 'building'. But I've been waiting for hours and it doesn't look like anything's happening.

View 1 Replies View RelatedOS X :: Menu Navigation - Access Menu From Keyboard By Using Ctrl + F2 Key
Dec 16, 2010I recently bought myself a Macbook Pro 13-inch model and I've been loving it so far. One thing that really bugs me is how bad the menu navigation is in OS X. I just read this on Macrumors and the only way to access menu from keyboard is by using ctrl+F2 key for which I have to press ctrl+fn+f2 key since F2 is a secondary function. Also, there is no way of going directly to the middle of the menu by keyboard shortcuts, right? If that is true, Mac OS X is still not polished enough for laptops. is there are a better way to control the menu items?

May 10, 2012My safari menu bar is missing. The menu bar for desktop, HD, and apps appears, but when I click on Safari, it disappears, so I can no longer see my buttons for History, etc. I think my husband (pc user) clicked it away when borrowing my computer.

OS X :: Moving The Menu Toolbars Up To The Menu Bar?

View 2 Replies View RelatedOS X :: My Apple Menu Is Not Opening Up In My Menu Bar?
Sep 30, 2010So i know this is gonna be a challenging one...
After a day of installing and trying/deleting new apps as well as trying terminal tricks from UsingMac.com like these and these, i went up to my apple menu in the menu bar for the first time since i started fiddling around, and it looks like what you see below in the attachment. I have absolutely no idea what made it happen; I'm just wondering if there is a way to reset the menu alone. because instead of having just what it says in the "system services" section in the menu, it has all that other stuff as well (Calculator, FruitMenu, etc.).
P.S.: Fruitmenu isn't even installed. i uninstalled it after i found out it was only a demo.
So basically:
1) how do i restore the main menu in the menu bar back to its original settings?
and 2) I need to do it in a way that wont screw up the rest of my computer or settings
OS X :: 10.5.8 Mail App Frozen Up
Jun 27, 2010I'm using a 4GB 2.4ghz Mac Book Pro and Leopard 10.5.8 Earlier I was using Mail to type a quite long email and I noticed it started to slow down and become unreponsive - I thought it was because I had too many other apps open, so quit them to free up memory... it didnt work so I quit the App - Now when I open it the email I was writing appears but I just get a spinning beachball if I try and do anything - I've never had any probs before with it and have used it as my mail client since I bout the machine in April 2009.

PowerPC :: IBook G3 Frozen In Sleep?
Jan 10, 2007Last night I put my iBook to sleep and now it won't seem to wake up. The little snoring light thing is maybe half-lit, but it doesn't snore like normal--just one solid, half-way lit light. I've tried force shuttng down (holding down the power button) and force restarting (command-control-power), and neither work. I've also tried the obvious--closing lid (it was open), unplugging it (the battery still has life though).
Anything else I can do?
OS X :: MBP Completely Frozen - While Working On Iphoto?
Dec 15, 2008While working in iPhoto I think Spotlight began to index my Backup Drive. My MBP became slow and eventually unresponsive. The mouse became choppy then disappeared and the process being done in iPhone froze up. Everything froze and nothing responded. I have never had anything happen like this before. What just happened? Low memory issue, some GUI error? A force restart, after waiting several minutes for something to click, brought everything back to normal.

Mac Pro :: Frozen Macbook When Powered Up On Battery / Fix It?
Apr 15, 2009My battery seems to have lost the plot. I can turn my machine on when running off the battery and it fires up as normal. Once it gets to my desktop everything is frozen. The arrow is always stuck in the top left corner and the only thing that works is the power button, but I can't even turn it off because I can't select switch off.
It works fine if I take the battery out and run off the adaptor but kinda defeats the purpose of having a laptop.

View 2 Replies View RelatedOS X :: Imac 10.6.3 Snow Leopard Became Frozen
Apr 14, 2010While using Mail, I got a message that there was an error with Mail and I needed to quit and reboot. When I re-opened mail, it prompted me to set it up and while it was reading the files, it froze. Subsequently, my Imac (OS 10.6.3? Snow Leopard) became frozen, i.e. my whole computer. I shut down using the back button (nothing else worked) and then restarted. I then re-booted using the regular re-start system. I was able to do 2-3 functions (the computer was super slow) and it froze again. After 2-3 repeats of the same procedure, it freezes after being turned off and on using the back button. I updated my software about 3 days ago. There was a major security update in that update. I'm waiting for a professional techy to call me back, but if you have any suggestions on how I should proceed, I'd be most grateful.

View 2 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: Frozen Pointer Soon After Startup On G4
Feb 20, 2009My iBook G4 (bought early 2004, OS 10.3.9) seems to have (all of a sudden) two layers of problems. One is failure to start-up, which won't go beyond the plain blue screen stage, for almost all procedures. (I can access terminal mode, and also, sometimes, reach the login window by holding shift key on startup. Strangely, the whole startup sequence seems to roll over normally after *several hours* of inactivity, but this miracle will not recur before the following day.) Now, second layer: In these rare circumstances when booting and login succeed, I can't work more than a few seconds, one minute maximum, before the pointer freezes and I lost all control.
For instance (a typical sequence), I face the page with the butterfly with my username, which I am allowed to click, then I have time to write in the password before freezing happens. After a few minutes staring at the page, I see it alternate rapidly (about three times a second) with a black screen, and vertical black lines dance in front of the login window during the fractions of second it's visible. I have been able (during these rare seconds of unrestrained access) to repair permissions, verify and repair the disk (several times), proceed with fsck, etc. The material diagnostic is "all OK", which I find hard to believe. (The disk ejection system doesn't seem to work properly, for one thing.) The problems appeared five days ago just after, coincidence or not, I tried to read an MP3 format CD.
Software :: Mouse Cursor On G4 Frozen
