When I boot my MBP, the menu bar doesn't appear. When I open Mail.app or Safari, the menu bar appears. I've searched for a bit, and nothing seems to talk about this. Is there a way to fix this?



UPDATE

This is old, but I had the same problem.



I tried deleting systemuiserver.plist from ~/Library/Preferences and ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost and restarted the computer, but it didn’t work.



I then went into the “Desktop & Screen Saver” preferences, deselected and then reselected “Translucent menu bar.” When I rebooted, the menu bar appeared. I rebooted a few more times just to test it and it loaded every time.
