Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
since the Mountain lion update, my menu bar is freezing after few hours.
does anyone have the same problem? the mouse is changes to the death beach ball and you can not click on anything, the time is frozen too.
suggestions?
iMac, OS X Mountain Lion
For what it's worth, I noticed that using an external display seems to make the condition worse, meaning it happens more frequently. Considering I used that more than my laptop screen, it's really frustrating. I'm now worried that I'm going to burn out my fan when I leave my laptop alone too long. I just keeping hoping that an update will remedy this. It's getting old.

Hey marfromspanish galleon, turned WiFi off in menu bar and it is behaving itself so far (24 hours). With anything else I've tried the menu froze within a few hours of restarting.
I think you may be onto a winner here!
I'm going to not displaying WiFi on the menu bar too, hope it helps. It is happening to both my 2007 iMac and 2011 iMac.
I did make a script, which I turned into an app on my dock for an easy fix, I can't count how many times I looked at the clock and thought, I can't believe it's only 2 pm... it feels like 4 pm. Not a good thing to be happening on a work computer.
Script:
do shell script "killall SystemUIServer"
Hopefully 10.8.3 addresses this glitched in Lion.
this is still a recurring problem for me too. glad i found this thread. apple really needs to fix this **** x_x
Last 10.8.3 dev seed doesn't address the issue, JFYI.
Some kind of an update.
It's not exactly update, but my menu stopped freezing few weeks ago. instead, the computer stopped sleeping.
The only way is to put it to sleep is manually from the Apple menu.
Of coarse the screen saver doesn't work.
I assumed that 10.8.3. is not adres the issue too
but maybe one of the developers will understand the connection between the 2 things? if there is a connection
anyone?
thanks
I'm not sure if the issue has resolved for anyone else, but the most recent June OSX update seems to have resolved the issue I was having with the SystemIUServer hanging up!! I'm thrilled!

its been some time now. but the problem was never solved, but today due to some network problems i discovers that when i was working on my modem, (so no wifi) the screensaver started to work, and when i turned it on again, the computer refused to sleep. so i know now that the problem connected to the wifi.
how do i solve it? no idea.
anyone?
sorry , the replay was for a different discussion.
Same problem here. Only Right side freezing - killing the process mentioned fixes it, temporarily.
