Bluetooth icon in menu bar, how to remove?

I have a Ti 500 PB. I exchanged HD's with my son's Al PB for a while (long story). Well we exchanged HD's back and now I have the bluetooth icon in the menu bar. How do I remove it since in system preferences there is no bluetooth preference to set it up? This PB does not have bluetooth. I am sure there is a terminal command to do this, I didn't see anything in CockTail.

Click on it with the Command key held down and drag it out of the menu bar.

Bluetooth icon in menu bar always showing

When using a wireless keyboard and mouse, the checkbox "Show Bluetooth in the menu bar" in the System Preferences has no effect. When turned off, the icon still shows up after any restart.

Hi again:
I am puzzled (no help to you). Mine is always on, but I have not tested turning it off and then restarting (I almost always sleep my Macs). If I think of it, I will try what you have done to see if it is "normal" or not.
I do not know of another setting (besides the plist file) that would affect that function.

Bluetooth icon in menu bar vanished after 10.4.4 update

Like the subject says, in short, the bluetooth icon on the menu bar (or whatever idiom is used for it) vanished. I'm using a 12" 1.33 GHz iBook, just updated to 10.4.4. I know for a fact it's just the icon, and nothing's broken with bluetooth, because I can still activate it from the preferences panel. Any ideas?

I have turned on all of my menu bar items (AirPost, Bluetooth, Displays etc.). Sometimes I do find that a few disappear, though they either disapperar entirely, or just leave a blank space where they were. In the latter, I just have to click on the space and it reappears. However, in the former case it is a matter of going into System Preferences and deselecting/selecting "Show Bluetooth Status In Menu bar".
Hope that fixes it

Unwanted items in menu bar - how to remove?

I have unwanted items (icons) in my menu bar like the Canon scanner icon. It drives me unnecessarily crazy. How do I get rid of them?
I tried command clicking to remove with no luck.
Thank you.

Your Canon scanner icon may be there because it is set to open when you boot. System Preferences>Accounts>Startup Items. If it is there select it and hit the minus sign. What happens when you click on the icon? have you tried to darg the icon out of the menu bar when holding down the command key?

Bradford Persistent Agent in Menu Bar - How to Remove?

I have the Bradford Persistent Agent in my menu bar. This is a bit of software that some schools have students install on their computers. However, I can't figure out how to uninstall it or at least remove it from my menu bar. Anyone have any advice? Thanks.
PS. I just emailed Bradford Networks to see if they have a solution. If they do, I will post it here to help others with this problem.

louko,
It's probably in your startup items. Go to System Preferences>Accounts>select your ID on the left. Click the lock on the same screen and enter your admin password. Select the Login Items tab. Find and select the Bradford software in the list and hit the "-" sign at the bottom of the list.
Logoff and Log back in and it should be out of the menu bar.
Go to your Applications folder and delete the software off your system, if desired.
Cheers

Hide .mac status icon from menu bar - how do I do it?

Title says it all.
I want to hide the .mac status icon from the menu bar but can't seem to find a setting anywhere.
Anyone got any ideas/
Thanks

Hi MarcMc,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
To remove the .Mac sync status indicator from the menu bar, open System Preferences > .Mac, click the Sync tab and uncheck the 'Show status in menu bar' checkbox.
To remove the iChat status indicator from the menu bar, open iChat's preferences and uncheck the 'Show status in menu bar' checkbox in the General pane.
Most menu bar icons can also be removed by holding down the Command (Apple) key and dragging them away from the menu bar.

Bluetooth icon in menu bar

hi,
recently, when i reboot my MBP, the bluetooth icon isnt present when i log back in.
Before i reboot, the icon is there, and when I am logged back in, and find its not there, i check the bluetooth preference pane, and see that the 'Show bluetooth status in menubar' item is checked, but it still isnt there.
Has anybody had problems like this?
Thanks for any help

Alex, I have almost given up on trying to completely control the status bar. And I just notived that my Bluetooth icon isn't there - yet I am using Bluetooth mouse and keyboard.
ShapeShifter used to be the culprit - it changes the status bar's contents.
But I cannot even get the Apple clock and AirPort Status icons to stay up there.
Operationally, all is well. But I don't have a good answer for you.
I have been told that the file...
com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
...is the commandfile for what's up there. I have deleted it and tried to maintain sanity - to no avail.

Removing 3rd Party Icon from Menu Bar

Just switched from being a PC user for years to Mac. I have a 21.5 in iMac and I thought it was a good idea to install an anti-virus program, in this case McAfee security (Mac Trial Version). I did not like how I could not access some websites (www.cnn.com, www.yahoo.com, etc). I tried to drag-n-drop any files using Finder with the name "McAfee" into Trash, but the old McAfee icon is still sitting on the menu bar. To remove it, I tried the "Command key/drag off the menu bar" move, but it would not work. I tried starting the activity monitor and I noticed a file called McAfee reporter. Even forcing it to close does not work as it reappears on its own after a few seconds. Finally, I attempted to edit the start-up menu (Apple icon--> System Preferences --> Users --> Log-In Items), but the program does not exist in that menu. I also resorted to restarting the Mac three different times, and the dreaded icon still appears. It's not affecting performance, but I hate clutter and I want this icon removed from my menu bar. If anyone has any advice on this issue, please let me know. I have also sent an e-mail in to McAfee, but I doubt they will be able to help unless they are proficient Mac users.

I am not sure if this will help anybody in the future, but here is what I discovered on the McAfee community forums. This worked for me (OS X 7.2), but bring up your Terminal window (Launchpad --> Utilities --> Terminal) and follow these directions. The password they are referring to is the password you set up for your Mac:
To uninstall McAfee Security:
1. In the Terminal window, type the following
command and press "return".
/usr/local/McAfee/uninstallMSC
2. When prompted, type your password and press
"return".
NOTE:
No characters appear when you type your
password.
When the uninstallation process completes, a message
appears in the Terminal window stating that McAfee
Security 1.0 beta 2 version has been uninstalled
from your computer.
I cannot take credit for this fix, but here is where I located the information.

Remove cc icon from menu bar on mac

I have dragged anything to do with creative cloud into the trash. The icon is still on my menu bar, how can I remove it?

Hi Helpme2015,
I believe you have only trashed Adobe products from Applications. There is a slightly different procedure to remove Adobe products from MAC but since you have trashed the Applications already, we would have to follow the lengthy way around to remove the Adobe products now. Please follow the below mentioned steps and suggest.
1)      Delete all the Adobe folders available within /Library/Application Support/
2)      Delete all the Adobe folders available within /Library/preferences
3)      Delete all the Adobe folders available within ~/Library/Application Support/
4)      Delete all the Adobe folders available within ~/Library/Preferences/
5)      Delete files and programs from within Application & Utilities .
Cheers,

Just installed OSX Mavericks.Bluetooth disappeared from menu bar and system preferences. I have a magic mouse and my IMac no long recognizes it as such, nor can I scroll with it. What's wrong?

Just installed OSX Mavericks. Bluetooth disappeared from menu bar and system preferences panel. I use a Magic Mouse but my iMac no longer recognizes it as such, and I can no longer use it to scroll screen. What happened?

Since Mavricks installed: My Spotlight icon disappears from the menu bar, but the space stays there. If I click on the blank space where the
spotlight icon is supposed to be - the spotlight menu opens. So, for me, the icon is there, it works except that it is invisible at times. IF I do a re-start it is there. If I let the computer set, sleep or other wise stay on for days, the icon will hide and re-appear at random.

Ethernet ICON in Menu Bar ??

I have a Ethernet <••> Icon now in the MENU bar, how it got there I have no clue, I was messing around for awhile with this other MODEM with my Airport Extreme, only for it not to work, so I gave up, put my old Modem/Router back, and now I have that ICON in the Menu bar, next to my Volume one, How do I get rid of it ? If I click on it, it say's No PPPoE Configurations were found and Open Network Preferences.
Message was edited by: Anthony82

I guess you have Mac OS X 10.4 ?
In the Network preference panel (choose "PPPoE" in the Ethernet Adapter port) you will see a box used to show the PPPoE icon <...> in the menu bar.
Don't clic this box, and it will no longer appear in the menu bar.
If you no longer see the Ethernet adapter port in the list "Status of the network", you can add it. Choose "config network ports", add the "Integrated internet" port, you will see the box in PPPoE panel, then go back to config to suppress the port you just added.
Sorry, I can't tell you the actual name of the box and other names, because I have a french version of Mac OS X, and I have to translate all that stuff :
Etat du réseau = Status of the network ?
Configuration des ports réseau = config network ports ?
Ethernet intégré = Integrated Ethernet ?
( ) Afficher l'état PPPoE dans la barre des menus = Show PPPoE status in the menu bar ?
Hope you forgive my poor english
