Blue Tooth has Disappeared from My Menu Bar

So I turned on my PowerBook G4 today and for some reason, the blue tooth option in the menu bar has disappeared and I can't find any application in regards to blue tooth, except the blue tooth file sharing. It has also disappeared from the system preferences.
In the hardware section of "About this Mac", it says for blue tooth, no information found.
I didn't do any backup today nor did I move any applications around. How do I get my blue tooth back on the computer? I obviously can't use my BT mouse now.
Any ideas what happened?

My Lil' Powerbook did this to me several times about a year ago, I believe I reset the PMU and it cleared. I know it happened several times and I freaked out. The problem has not happened in over a year and I use my bluetooth mouse all the time.
Point is something may have changed on my system that I do not remember doing such as an update.
My suggestion is to reset the PMU, and check out the following two updates.
Reset PMU:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1431
Updates:
For PPC (which you have)
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL354
Since you have 10.5.8
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL889
My bluetooth firmware version is 2.1586 not sure how I got that, but I have the 12" Powerbook!
If I were you I'd load both of the updates one at a time starting with the PPC 1.2.1 then the 2.0.1 for 10.5.8.

My battery icon has disappeared from my menu bar at the top of the screen and the energy saver preferences simply says 'Could not load Energy Saver preference pane'

My battery icon randomly disappeared a few months ago from my menu bar and i have been unable to make it come back. After researching solutions online it soon became clear that all of the suggestions needed me to go into the energy saver preferences in the setting however the icon for the energy saver preferences is no longer there and whenever i click in the blank space where it used to be, it simply says 'Could not load Energy Saver preference pane'. As a result of this i never know how much battery i have left and so i just have to wait for the machine to die each time
The mac in question is a 13 inch 2012 macbook air that is running on OS Mavericks at the moment.
Any ideas on how to get the icon back?
- I recently discovered by accident that before i actually log into my account on my mac, when i am still on the page that contains the options of guest user etc. at that point the battery icon is displayed in the top right hand corner? Why is it that the icon exists there but not once i have logged it? Thankyou for any advice.

Save as has disappeared from my menu

Hi and good evening
On my Mac Save As has disappeared from the Pages menu. Under Share the Send by email is grey ie not in bold as usual, but the formats - Word etc are in bold and when clicked on an email (new message) comes up but if I've clicked on Word the document appears to not have been changed from Pages. Hence the attachment has been blocked by the recipents Outlook Express.
Sorry...as you can tell ...I'm not too good on computer speak.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks
Ann

When you 'share' a document, you need to choose a format in which to share it. For reasons unknown, Apple has decided to change the layout of the Share menu to make "Send via Mail" and "Export" non-selectable category headers, and place the format choices in the top-level menu. It's a design choice, but one I can't see much benefit in.
Your document itself will not show any change in format if you choose "Word," but if you check the attachment to the email message produced, you see the .doc extension indicating it is a Word file. If you have Word (or one of the open source Office applications (eg. LibreOffice, OpenOffice.org), 'Sharing' a Word copy of the document with yourself, thenopening it with one of these applications (but not with Pages). All will open a Word format document, and none of them will open a Pages format document. Your resut should tell you whether the conversion has been made.

Sometime today, the email icon from the menu bar magically disappeared and is now only visible when I tap the launcher and it appears at the very bottom of last page. I have no idea how or when this happened. Any ideas?

You might have accidently dragged it onto the app area. Just tap, hold and drag back onto the launcher

My creative cloud icon has gone from the menu bar on top right hand side of screen

the creative cloud icon is gone from the menu bar? How can I get it back?

Sometimes too many open apps will hide it, but if it closed,
Restart the Creative Cloud app. Look for it in Spotlight.

My creative cloud seems to have disappeared from the menu bar

The Creative Cloud icon seems to have disappeared from the top menu bar.
My creative cloud says that it did not close down properly and then asks if I can to force quit it, but nothing seems to happen and I get that error message again when I restart the computer.
I can't seem to locate Creative Cloud to open or close it, yet Photoshop CC will open.
Last night I downloaded updated and CC software.
I made 5 phone calls to India last week and finally got the Creative Cloud working again, but I have no clue what they did. Now it isn't working correctly.
Also, in Photoshop CC I am getting this...Could not complete your request because of a problem parsing the JPEG data. That is what is says on some JPEGS. I don't usually get an error like this.
Does it have anything to do with the malfunction of the CC now that I can't seem to find it in the menu bar and it keeps telling me that it did not close down properly and do I want to force quit when I restart my computer....I get that message.

Safari icon disappears from desktop/menu bar

my son clicked on safari to open it on our new imac. he said the icon disappeared. he was right. i had to go to spotlight and open it from there. i tried to drag the icon from the applications after spotlight found it, but it wouldn't stay on my desktop at the bottom menu bar.
how do i get it on my menu bar again.
why did this hapend

thank you.
i was finally able to drag it to the menu applications bar at the bottom, to the left of the double white line, but i had to first drag it onto my desktop, and then into the menu bar on the bottom.
however, it stayed in both places. on my desktop and down in my menu bar. i would like it only in my menu bar, but i'm afraid if i drag the icon from my desktop to the trash, it will delete both, or all safari applications, and i wouldn't want that to happen.
how do i remove it from my desktop, yet keep it in the menu bar at the bottom? it used to always be in the menu bar on the bottom, and never on the desktop screen itself.
am i making any sense?

Airplay icon disappeared from Yosemite menu bar. Yet appears in iTunes. How do I get it back so I can airplay from my mac-mini

This seems to have transpired since the upgrade of my Motorola ARRIS SURFboard modem/router to the duel band 2.4G/5G model. (white) All my apple products work great via WI-fi and I'm getting 58Mbps average. I can stream audio through iTunes. The existing issue is simply no icon to mirror or stream content from my mac-mini to the Apple TV.

First, open System Preferences -> Displays, and make sure that the option "Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available" is ticked. If it is ticked, untick and tick it. Note that you can also try choosing your Apple TV there next to "AirPlay Mirroring" to check that it shows up correctly.

Application link has vanished from left menu bar (used to be under Podcasts

Hi,
I opened iTunes last night to synch my iPhone and it acted very oddly. iTunes installed a bunch of songs I had throw in the recycling bin and re-imported a bunch of album artwork. Small problems that I quickly resolved.
iTunes also gave me a weird message about applications (I didn't realize it was a big deal so I didn't read it, something about saving over new applications with older applications) so I said no.
The big issue - my applications link is now missing from the left menu screen (it used to be below the Podcasts link). I don't know how to update any applications or manage my applications without that link.
Help!
Thanks in advance.

iTunes prefs -> General.
Under Show: tick Applications.

My drop-down bookmarks menu has vanished from the menu bar and I have no idea how to get it back. Help, please?

I have no idea what I did, one minute I was browsing that particular menu, the next it was gone. I can still access the sidebar version and my bookmarks toolbar is still there, but the actual menu is gone. Closing and restarting Firefox hasn't worked, neither has restarting my computer. I would really appreciate any advice.
Thank you in advance!

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences, but not Bookmarks and history''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Can we assume that your toolbar is perhaps an OS X feature?
