Airport icon in menu bar keeps disappearing

The Airport status icon in the menu bar keeps disappearing.
Even when I go into System Preferences/Network/Airport and activate the showing of the icon there and then click the little padlock to prevent changes, at the next startup the icon (almost every time= 99% of the cases) is no longer visible in the menu bar.
Can this be solved?

Bernard, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Of course it can be solved. Can I solve it? Probably not.You may want to search for a solution in the AIrport Forums.

Airport icon in menu bar gone

Hi! My airport icon has disappeared from the menu bar at the top right of the screen....how do i get it back? Thanks!

Hi lara
Go to System Preferences - Network - Airport, and click "Show Airport status in menu bar".
The menu bar icons are very easy to drag off if you hold down the cmd key accidentally. You can also rearrange them by holding down cmd and dragging them left and right.

VPN icon in menu bar keeps dissapearing

Hi All,
When i wake up my Macbook Pro from sleeping sometimes, the vpn icon in the menu bar keeps dissapearing! I go back into internet connect and re-enable it thorugh the 'show VPN status in the menu bar' option. This is quite irritating as i use VPN on a daily basis! Does anyone know any possible solutions?

Missing airport icon in menu bar HELP PLEASE

Okay, I have a g4 powerbook that came with tiger.
I am missing the airport icon that once was there in the menu bar at the top right-hand side.
What I've done: ran disk utility, = all's well, check for software updates = all's well there too., and the most obvious, check the box under system pref. for airport config.
I check it and it is does, nothing. I go back to system pref. and is unchecked again.
IM AT A LOSS. Anyone with this problem PLEASE help.
thanks...

muecyl,
Do not concern yourself with the other files that you found at that location. Just leave them where they are.
Since your problem is also related to some extent to System Preferences, you may benefit from trying the procedures outlined by Dr. Smoke in Try the following....
Another possibility is to download and reinstall the Mac OS X 10.4.6 Combo for PPC.

Airport Icon In Menu Bar for 10.2.6 operating system

I can't get this icon to appear even after I select it in network settings? If anyone can help with this it would be greatly appreciated.

Try excluding the com.apple.systemuiserver.plist file. This file keeps track of the items in the right side of the menu bar, except for the Spotlight icon.

Battery indicator on menu bar keeps disappearing...

Everytime I go into preferences and check show battery status for some reason when I reboot the icon in the menu bar disappears.
Is anyone else having this problem?
Any solutions?
Thanx,

Not sure if this will work or not, but it's worth a try. Go into Users>yourusername>Library>Preferences and move the com.apple.menuextra.battery.plist file to your desktop, or somewhere you can get to it if you need to put it back. Don't copy, the purpose is to take it out of that Preferences folder. Now, open up system preferences, check the display in menu bar option, restart, and hope for the best.
No, it's not possible that doing this will somehow render your computer useless. I just did it on mine to make sure. Somtimes those preference files just need to be rebuilt.

Why does my menu bar keep disappearing from the top of my browser?

Every day I have to right click to add the menu bar to the top of the page (File...Edit...View...Bookmarks,etc.)
this is very annoying.

Does it disappear while you are using the browser, or when
you start Firefox?
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

Icons in menu bar disappear

When starting up my computer this morning almost all of the icons in the menu bar had disappeared and had question marks in they place.

Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps Internet

Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps internet connection.

Same issue here- I can airplay my amazon prime library just fine from my iphone 5 but on my macbook- (mavericks, 15 inch 2013 retina with quad core i7, nvidia 650 M and SSD) it just sputters and lags.
I have noticed web video is considerably worse than local content, giving me pauses of up to 2 or 3 seconds in which video stops but audio continues in the amazon player. Youku video, however, seems relatively stable. Our subscription speed is 25 mbps, so that should be plenty to stream SD video from Amazon and doesn't account for why it would be nice and stable from the iphone, but not the mbp.
Playing light, locally hosted steam sidescrollers like Limbo is better but gives periodic drops in framerate on the Tv. when mirroring the framerate remains steady on the MBP screen.
Games airplayed from my iphone seem relatively stable, though with a noticably lower framerate on the TV than on the phone.
It seems these issues have abated considerably since yesterday's Apple TV update, but are still curious nonetheless and I'm not sure that the update yesterday was specifically meant to address those issues or if I'm just getting a time with less network interference now.
Comcast recently installed a new router/modem/phone combo, replacing our old separate modem and router setup. I'm going to test if putting the network on a different channel helps.

'''Menu Bar''' (File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help)
Press ALT + V T M on your keyboard. This should restore the menu bar (Firefox 3.6)
'''Other toolbars'''
View|Toolbars|Select the desired Toolbar
'''Other steps to try'''
If you missing specific icons (ex. The back arrow,) try restoring the default set by going to View|Toolbars|Customize| Restore Default Set
'''Safe Mode'''
You May need to reset toolbars and controls via [[Safe Mode]]
Make sure you completely close Firefox first. When you get to the Safe Mode window, select Reset toolbars and controls and then Make Changes and Restart.
Hope this helps!

When I'm using Safari, acasionally the menu bar just disappears. I'm running the latest version of Lion and the latest version of Safari. This is not a full screen app problem. I have multiple windows open. This happens all the time! Firefox is fine! ???

When I'm using Safari, ocasionally the menu bar just disappears. I'm running the latest version of Lion and the latest version of Safari. This is not a full screen app problem. I have multiple windows open. This happens all the time! Firefox is fine! What the ****? Please help!

Right, like I'm trying to say, THERE IS NO SAFARI MENU bar. Example: I have multiple applications open, I click on a Photoshop window, the correct menu or title bar or whatever changes. Every other application window I click on brings up the correct "whatever" bar. If I click on the desktop, the "Finder Bar" shows up.
Everythiing else, BUT SAFARI, works the same way since OS X came out. This is ridiculous.
I'm getting the vibe that Apple is trying to get rid of the finder.... this is the way wrong direction.

No icons on menu bar

I previously had spotlight, time, language, ect. icons on the menu bar but now there is only the gmail icon. I tried clicking on the options of adding icons on menu bars, but it doesn't work. For example, i click "show time and date" and when i switch panes, it resets itself. Spotlight and others doesn't work either. So if anybody can help, I really appreciate it.

Hi, Dale —
Seems as if there've been a lot of folks lately who've encountered problems with SystemUIServer — the process that manages the right-hand side of the menu bar.
Troubleshooting this may require several rounds of interacting. For now, try these:
(1) Delete the preferences file ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist, restart, and reset as required in System Preferences
(2) Disable all "system enhancers" — including especially any 3rd-party Menu Extras — that you may have installed. Some of these may show up in System Preferences »» Other. In particular, disable or uninstall Application Enhancer (APE) if it's there.
Please post back to share your progress, and we'll take it from there
HTH!
Regards,
Dean

Why does my scroll bar keep disappearing when I am trying to scroll on my macbook pro . I am using osx version 10.9

The scroll bar keeps disappearing as I am trying to scroll on the macbook pro osx 10.9 update installed.

Scroll bars have been doing this since Lion. You can set them to stay on in System Preferences.
