"Devices" now hidden from menu bar

I've somehow hidden the "Devices" selection from the left-hand menu bar in iTunes. How do I get it back?

Hover your mouse over the word "Devices". "Show" will appear at the right. Click "Show".

Remove name from menu bar + possible bugs?

Hello, I was wondering if it were possible to remove my name from the Menu bar. It currently says my full name and is clickable, dropping down to my icon and a link to the Login Window and Users & Groups Preferences (but there's no option to remove it in these preferences!) Thanks!
Also, Is there a thread where we can post bugs we come across? Becuase I've found a couple.
I'll post them here for now:
1) When I go into Finder > Preferences, the menu box flickers strangely when I switch between the option tabs (General, Labels, Sidebar, Advanced).
2) Scrolling left and right through folders in the Column view is hesitant. It doesn't flow smoothly like it does when I scroll up and down.
If there's anywhere I can report these bugs, please let me know!

name from menu bar:
the easy way: hold command and then drag the name icon out of the menu bar (just like how you remove stuff from the dock with the difference of pressing command while you do it).
the less easy way: open system prfs -> Users and groups [press locket if locked] then click login options and uncheck fast user switching menu

After installing iTunes 10.4.0.80 "file" "edit" etc items from menu bar at top right corner disappeared -when cursor is put in that spot a darker rectangle appears - similarly tabs for syncing iPhone are invisible

After installing iTunes 10.4.0.80 "file" "edit" etc items from menu bar at top right corner disappeared -when cursor is put in that spot a darker rectangle appears - similarly tabs for syncing iPhone are invisible- and similarly small ovals appear when cursor is placed where tabs should be.

Very many thanks to you, Putaro! Your answer provided the solution. It was a buggy plug-in that turned out to be the culprit.
You're off the hook, Apple, and my apologies for stating that you let a dog run loose. You skated by this time, Apple. But I'm watching you.
But again, Putaro's reference to the plugins I had installed over the years turned out to illuminate the problem. I have several plugins in my iTunes plugins folder, pretty much all designed to add more visualizer functionality. I removed all of them, and ALL of the problems I noted in my post went away, with full iTunes functionality restored.
I began adding the plugins back to hopefully single out the culprit. Among the ones I had been using included fielder, G-Force, Timestrech, volcanokit, QuartzComposer, and Jax. I hadn't used any of them in a while - probably at least a verison or more back in iTunes updates, but iTunes continued to work with all of them installed. Currently, only QuartzComposer continues to work in iTunes 10.4. The rest no longer even show up as visualizer opitons, with one exception. Jax does show up, but does not work. AND THE PRESENCE OF JAX IS WHAT KILLED MY ITUNES.
I looked into it and went back to the developer, and it appears that they discontinued developing Jax some time ago - evidently, it was buggy and crash prone. I remember after buying it, having problems with it - having never worked to its touted potential, but I didn't pursue it, and never uninstalled it. Leaving it in there caused all iTunes functionality to cease with the iTunes 10.4 update.
If you've got Jax installed, consider removing it before updating to iTunes 10.4.
My iTunes is now working right as rain, thanks again to Putaro!

I have a problem when try to select any of option from menu bar

I have problem with mozilla since last update. When try to use any of options from menu bar, this appears:

Also, i uploaded video to show how my problem appear.

thanks for reporting back with your details - turning off HWA might have slight negative effects on the performance/rendering speed of the browser but it shouldn't impact any functionality.
i've seen a handful similar threads by users mentioning this issue since they've upgraded to firefox 18. so when it is a widespread problem, mozilla might further investigate this & offer a fix in a later version...

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.

FCP effects won't unpack from files. Can access them from menu bar but on effects tab

FCP effects won't unpack from files. Can access them from menu bar but on effects tab

I think you meant but "not" on effects tab. Were you able to before? Try trashing your preference files. you can do this by hand or use the free program, Preference Manager from Digital Rebellion.

Eject disc from menu bar & Hardware Test Disc Questions??

After upgrade to 10.4.5 on my G5 2.5 DP, I notice the little underscored triangle thing is gone from the menu bar.
Any way to get it back? Kinda handy for open & closing the disc drive and ejecting discs. The other ways I know and use, but sorta fond of doing from menu bar.
Also, notice there's no Hardware test disc with Tiger. Where'd that go? O.k. to run the one from 10.3?
Additionally, what happens if you run it without pulling out all 3rd party PCI cards?
Thanks, p2
G5 DP 2.5 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

"Any way to get it back?"
Double Click on: /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/Eject.menu
"Where'd that go?"
It's not on retail copies of OS X. Use the one that came with your computer.
"what happens if you run it without pulling out all 3rd party PCI cards?"
Nothing should happen.

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.

Stream Audio to Apple TV in Mountain Lion from Menu Bar

Unless I'm missing it, Mountain Lion definitely needs the option to stream audio to Apple TV from the Menu Bar, like you can stream video from the Menu Bar. Hopefully they add the option to the Volume tab. Too much of a hassle to have to open up Preferences>Sound>Output to Apple TV

Interesting, looks like you can, but it's a hidden function: http://www.cultofmac.com/182397/send-audio-only-to-apple-tv-via-airplay-in-mount ain-lion/
Hold down 'Option' while clicking the 'Volume' tab in the Menu Bar, and it brings up a secondary menu for with Sound Preferences, including the ability to choose Apple TV as the Output Device. Not sure why they chose to make this such a hidden feature, but oh well.

Airport icon disappeared from menu bar

For one of my two Users, the Airport icon disappeared from the menu bar. Now I cannot turn Airport on or off. Internet Connect only shows the internal modem. Restarting the computer did not solve the problem.
It has worked well until yesterday, all of a sudden the icon was gone. Airport Admin does work, and it restarts the base station when I change something (I changed the password just to test this). So the hardware is working.
If I log on as a different user, the icon is there, and everything works as normal. It therefore seems to be a set-up problem at one of the users.
I would appreciate any help on this one.
Thanks in advance,
Maarten

Maarten,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Go to Apple -> System Preferences -> Network. Select the AirPort Entry from the list of Network Devices, and click the "Configure..." button.
If not already there, navigate to the "AirPort" tab, and check the "Show AirPort status in menu bar" checkbox at the bottom of the window.
This should put it back up there.
Let me know if you need more help.

Itunes doesn't seem to synch "wirelessly" with my iphone. It seems to work with emails but not photos / videos I've taken on my phone. Also, there is no "device" listed on itunes menu bar, only when connected via cables

My computer / iTunes is set up correctly for wireless (account info. all good), and emial is synched wirelessly. BUT not photos / videos or songs. I seem to have to plug my iPhone into my computer for iTunes to recognize my device. Shouldn't iTunes recognize my iphone wirelessly? For example, I have read that "device" should show up in menu bar on iTunes but it doesn't unless I'm cabled in.
Also, when I go to my iPhone to "synch wirelessly with iTunes", the button / tab doesn't light up for me to chose and tells me will synch when "smith - laptop" is available.....
This is my first iPhone, and just got it so may be user error.....
thanks

Did you build Elsa with this package from AUR: elsa-svn-arch
The way your elsa.conf looks like indicates to me that you have not.
Please use the package because you are also missing pam-files.

Spotlight hidden behind menu bar in Leopard?

I updated to Leopard three days ago with no problems. Today, however I suddenly find my spotlight drop down box is three quarters hidden behind the menu bar and I cannot get it to appear in front of it. Weird. Does anyone have an idea what's going on? Thanks......!

I had the same issue and tried all the suggestions (desktop from expose, enable/disable spaces, etc), but I had some important things going on and didn't want to logout. I pressed the display key on my Macbook. That's the one that switches from mirrored displays to extended desktop. That did it.
It's the F7 key on my 8 month old macbook. Not sure if the new ones have it, but try "detecting displays" (I use dual displays so it sort of makes sense to me... you may not have this enabled if you only use the one display).
Cheers!
