menu bar on all applications

Hello guys
I'm really newbie in mac... started today... i have tried to deal with some applications but it has been hard i can't find the menu bar ( file, edit...) at any application as browsers (any), itunes, etc... So I'm unable to do some things like set up the preferences at iTune. Are there some configuration that I have to change on mac to show my menu bars?
Sorry for very simple question but I have work on PC for ages.
Thanks

the menu bar is ALWAYS in the same place, on the top of the screen.

There is nothing there. I don't know what is going on

Apple has had a common menu bar at the top since System 1 the first Mac OS in 1984. Highlight the application like say iTunes. Look up top. See the bar with the Apple at the top left? Then next to the Apple is iTunes, File, ETC.

Not the top of the window for whatever program your running, it's at the very top edge of your monitor screen.

If it's not there, something is really wrong.

Where the Apple is like I said. Apple extreme left then the name of the highlighted application then the other items like File, Edit, View.

#1 Is your Title for the window you currently in.
#2 Is the OS X Menu Bar, it is always there as baggss said. Or, should always be there.

ok, thanks. I restarted the computer and found it.
thanks
