Bluetooth icon not showing up in menu bar

Usually, the Bluetooth icon always shows up in my menu bar upon start-up. Lately it has not been appearing. In my system preferences, the show blue-tooth icon in menu bar is checked. If I uncheck it and then check it again it shows up where it is supposed to be in the menu bar. But if I restart my Mac it is missing again. At the present time I am not using any Bluetooth devices but would like to know how to get the icon to appear every time so that I know that it is working properly. Can anybody answer my question or has anybody else noticed this? Thanks.
Mac Mini   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   PowerPC 1.5

Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and enter ~/Library/Preferences/ as the folder's location. Once this folder has appeared, move the item named com.apple.systemuiserver.plist to another folder, log out, and log back in.
Alternatively, add the item Bluetooth.menu in the /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/ folder to the list of login items for your account in the Accounts pane of System Preferences.

  • Canon IJ Network Scanning Utility not showing up in Menu bar

    Hi, I recently performed an erase and install of my Mac. I then used Migration Assistant to restore my data. I have a Canon MP620 Wireless Printer. I noticed that the Canon IJ Network Scanning Utility is not showing up in the menu bar. How do I get it to show up again?
    Message was edited by: Stuart Lawrence

    When installed, the Canon IJ Network Scan Utility is located HD > Library > Printers > Canon > BJPrinters > Utilities. Double click the utility and the icon will appear on the menubar. If you want the utility to start on login, then you can add it to your Login items, located in System Preferences > Accounts.

  • AirPort status not showing up in menu bar...

    I just started up my computer, and looked at the menu bar for the status of my AirPort connection, and found that it's not shown...
    Nothing in the troubleshooting manual tells me how to turn it on-- it only tells me that it should always be on.

    Try the following ...
    o Launch System Preferences
    o Show > AirPort
    o On the AirPort tab, enable "Show AirPort status in menu bar"

  • Why the account login list does not show up on menu bar?

    I see bunch of other icons including Bluetooth in Tiger on my Intel Mac mini, but somehow the list of accounts disseapared. I have that on my PowerMac Tiger and did exist from the the day I upgraded to Panther, but why it does not show up in Tiger?
    Any idea how to bring accounts so I could login to another and have that turning 3D screen and changing to another account?
    Thanks,
    Maciek

    Open the Accounts pane of System Preferences and turn
    on Fast User Switching if it isn't already on.

    It worked fine. Thanks a lot!
    One more note to the tip: it required to unlock the padlock as administrator and then select Login Options below list of users. Otherwise the option does not show anywhere.

  • Do not show the Mac menu bar and the Dock in full-screen mode option not available

    "Remote Desktop Connection" for mac has an option to
    hide the menu bar in full screen mode.  I am unable to locate this option in the new
    Microsoft Remote Desktop.  Without this option the remote desktop connection bar becomes completely inaccessible.  And since the old "remote desktop connection" program has poor support for windows 8.1 I cannot go back.
    Is there a workaround?  Can you please add this important feature back in?

    H,
    I am afraid that we have no solution or workaround for this. I will help to submit this as a customer wish to the product team.
    Thanks for the feedback.

    Hi!
    I assume, your icons are gifs.
    May you try to open that two not displaying icons in a image viewer, may irfanview, and save them again.
    Sometimes forms has problems with several gif images.
