I have my quick menu disabled in syatem prefs. Yet today out of no where it showed up. In system prefs it is disabled. If I enable it I have two of them. How do I get rid Of both? OS X 10.6.6.
I don't think it's related to the 10.6.6 upgrade, is there anything else that changed around the time the menu behavior changed? About the only thought I have is to try uninstalling and reinstalling NAV (or NIS if that's the product you have).
Just as a a shot in the dark, did you migrate your system from 10.5 previously? The Mac OS X migration assistant/installer will disable certain things when it performs such a migration. However it does that by moving some of our system files. When LiveUpdate performs an update, sometimes it re-installs those updates.
Look in Activity Monitor, and search for the "SymUIAgent" process. If more than one of them is running, I am guessing that's what happened.
I think I know what's going on here. When I upgrade or install HP printer drivers after that I have a second Quick menu. The only way I have found to get rid of it is to uninstall and reinstall Norton Antivirus. I have no idea why this happens. Is there another solution to getting rid of it?
Since you are running Mac OS X 10.6, the QuickMenu should be launched via launchd. You can try running the following command in the Terminal application to see if this fixes things:
1. Open the Terminal application (in your Applications folder, open the Utilities folder).
2. In the Terminal window that opens, copy and paste the following. It's quite long, so make sure you get all of it.
sudo /Library/Application\ Support/Symantec/Uninstaller/Receipts/com.symantec.pkg.nortonQuickMenu/addloginitem -a remove -u all -p /Library/Application\ Support/Symantec/SymUIAgent/SymUIAgent.app
Again, make sure you copy the entire command on a single line.
3. Press return after you copy & paste that command. Then when prompted, enter your password. If you are successful, you won't see anything on the command line. Then you should be able to restart your Mac and only see 1 QuickMenu.
Let me know if you have any further problems. Sorry for the inconvenience.
