tool bar turns purple

The tool bar changes from my normal desktop color to purple, starting with time info and works it's way left across the entire toolbar.

Try and restart the Mac to see if the issues persist


If they persist, boot the Mac in the safe mode. If the issue does not persist in the safe mode it is most likely caused by an external piece of software. Please evaluate the software installed to your Mac


Start up your Intel-based Mac in safe mode

  1. Turn on or restart your Mac, then immediately press and hold the Shift key until you see the login window.
  2. Log in to your Mac.
  3. You might be asked to log in again.
  4. On either the first or second login window, you should see “Safe Boot” in the menu bar.
