Delete icon from menu bar?

hey, so after migrating info from my old mac to my new, i'm stuck with Intego Netbarrier X3, icon in the menu bar. I uninstalled netbarrier since it doesn't run on the intel chip. Anyway, I tried command, drag, but that doesn't work, it just highlights the options stating: "About your intego software.." and Netupdate X4. How do i delete this icon?

Look in the folders /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/, /Library/Menu Extras/, and ~/Library/Menu Extras/ for anything installed by NetBarrier. Not all of the folders may be present on all systems; to access a folder, choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and enter the folder's path. The first folder should contain the following items in Mac OS X 10.45:
AirPort.menu
Battery.menu
Bluetooth.menu
Classic.menu
Clock.menu
Displays.menu
Eject.menu
Fax.menu
HomeSync.menu
iChat.menu
Ink.menu
IrDA.menu
PCCard.menu
PPP.menu
PPPoE.menu
RemoteDesktop.menu
Script Menu.menu
Sync.menu
TextInput.menu
User.menu
Verizon.menu
Volume.menu
VPN.menu

How do I delete items from menu bar that are not part of the OS

How do I delete items from menu bar that are not part of the OS

Perhaps you could be more specific, as it is a little difficult to answer your question without any details. I can give you some general ideas though.
On my machine there are a few applications that have installed items into the menu bar - I'm assuming you are talking about the icons on the right hand side of the top bar. To remove those items, I would generally need to uninstall the program that created them. To do this varies a little from application to application.
Also, sometimes an application will have preferences that allow you choose if you want to display the item in the menu bar.
So, my general advice would be that you need to identify the application that placed the item there, and remove it from your computer. If there is an uninstall program for that application, I would run that in the first instance.
If you don't actually wish to uninstall the application, you may need to click on the item or run the application and see if there is a setting to not show the menu bar item.
Hope that helps.

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 .

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.

Removing Samsung Printer Icon from Menu Bar (ML-2510)

I installed drivers for a Samsung ML-2510 and now I've got this unsightly icon on the desktop. I thought I uninstalled the drivers and now I've still got this icon taking up valuable screen real estate.
I checked the startup items for my sole login profile and none refer to anything remotely like this.
What's more frustrating is that the icon is sort of ghosted out - clicking it does nothing. Command clicking does nothing. It's just annoying and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for removing.

I was able to remove it. (Should have done a little research on the Samsung site first.)
Stupid way to remove, but you need to use the installation program.... just to remove the icon from the desktop.
Poorly crafted drivers make me want to scream. Why must I have their crappy icon on the menu bar?

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
Marc

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.

Unwanted MobileMe icon in menu bar

This is what I did:
I went online and ordered a power adapter replacement for my iPhone. I was asked for my Mac Support username and pw.
Then, after doing so, the MobileMe icon suddenly appears on my menu bar. (I've never subscribed to this).
I then went to system prefs then MoblileMe (wanting to remove said icon from menu bar). I was told that I had changed my password and that I should type in my new one (?). I tried a few of my pw's (for the heck of it) to no avail. I'm now unable to get into MobileMe prefs and I seem to be stuck staring at this (ugly) icon. I checked my keychains, nothing.
(I did do the 6-month trial on .Mac when I got my MB last Feb. but I wasn't into it. The pw I had for that's not working either.)
Any suggestions?

This is the iSync forum. The MobileMe forums are here:
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=116
Anyway, an 'ugly' MobileMe icon in your menu bar? Do you mean the Sync icon, which looks like 2 arrows in a circular formation?
If so, to get rid of it just hold down the command key (to the left of the space bar) and drag it out of the menu bar.

Menu bar icons / clock (all but spotlight) are missing from menu bar

I started woke my MacBook up from sleeping for a few days this morning and everything ordinarily on the right side of the menu bar save the spotlight menu has disappeared.
I used to have a displays icon/menu, battery icon, network icon/menu, and clock displayed on the right side of the menu bar and they are now gone. If I go into the control panels for display, time, etc., to re-enable the menu bar icons, I can check the check box to display icon in menu bar, but the settings won't save! (Whenever I go back into the settings panel after making the change, the changes are reverted!)
Its getting pretty frustrating. Anyone have any ideas please?

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
