hello
i've got a problem,
all the items/icons on the top right hand corner of my macbook pro are missing
i don't know what happend
and i now want to switch to my other account and i'm unable to do so because of this incident

does any one know how to solve this?

i already tried to download butler two times-- i thought maybe i could use that to switch over but butler isn't responding despite having been successfully downloaded.

thanks

Which exact Mac OS X version do you have?
And what have you done short before the missing icons happened?

Btw, you mean the icons in the Menu Bar on top, don't you? If so, have you taken a look at System Preferences > Time & Date or Bluetooth or Network or Accounts and see, if you can bring the icons back?

Can you maybe post a screenshot? (Shift + Command + 3 > Preview > Crop (Command + K))

Click to expand...

i have gone to that section but how do you bring em back?
there's like nothing up there anymore; no account icon/date/clock/network/battery... nothing

it is a macbook pro 10.4.11
and i'm not sure what i did that caused this

A couple of examples:

Clock
  • Go to System Preferences
  • Go to Date & Time
  • Go to the Clock tab
  • There is a checkbox next to Show the date and time put a checkmark in it.
  • Under that are options for where and how the clock appears set them as you like.

Fast User Switching
  • Go to System Preferences
  • Go to Accounts
  • Click on Login Options at the bottom of the list of users. If Login Options are dimmed out, click the lock icon and type the administrator name and password.
  • There is a checkbox next to Enable fast user switching put a checkmark in it.
I don't have the other options that you're using as I'm on a desktop iMac but in the System Preferences for those other items, you should have an option to check or un-check for show in menu bar or wording to that effect. HTH
