Hi Guys!

Somehow I have managed to press a button that makes my MENU BAR in the TOP and my Dock (on my mac) disappear when I use Maya.

I was pressing a lot of buttons trying to find a button that I can use on my mac instead of th PC`s "insert" button. (My stupid way of fixing things ha ha)

I have even re-installed Maya, but still the BAR MENU and my DOCK was missing

If anyone knows what to do or have any suggestions, please answer. I am new to maya and very inspired at the moment so it hard to spend time looking for this.

Thank You

I really like this site by the way

Should be the same as on PC. If I understand what you want right. its CTRL m" to togle the menu and shift M to togle the menu on the viewports.

Thanks again Pony!

shift M displayed the "menu bar" above the perspective view with menus such as VIEW SHADING PANELS SHOW LAYOUTS, but what I am looking for is the "MENU BAR" in the top of the screen with FILE EDIT MODIFY DISPLAY WINDOW and so on

It might ofcourse be controlled by my Mac-settings, but the problem is only in Maya so I am guessing there is a way to turn them on again.

If I press ctrl-F1-F2-F1 Then its displayed, but only for one menu selection if you know what I mean.

Thanks a lot for trying to help Pony, Appreciate that.

That would be the "Status Line" and you can you turn it back on under the Diplay>UI Elements>status line. Sorry don't know a shorcut of the top of my head for that. But for fun try CTRL+Spacebar to toggle on or off all UI elements except the menu.
