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.

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time after  you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post any other kind of report — it will be very long and not helpful.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • "Share" word has disappeared from menu bar - can't burn DVD

    I know I burned a DVD in the distant past by clicking on "Share - burn DVD" in the menu bar but the word "Share" seems to have disappeared from my menu bar. I upgraded from iPhoto 5 to 6 (I think). What happened to the "Share" word and how do I get it back? If I reinstall from my original discs, won't I get the iPhoto 5 version?? Will my recent photos disappear?? Thanks for any help.

    When you're in iPhoto go to the iPhoto menu in the upper left hand corner of the menu bar and select About iPhoto. That will give you the version of iPhoto you have.
    If you tried to run an iPhoto 6 updater on iPHoto 5 that may be the reason you're having trouble with iPhoto. Check the version and post back.
    If you have iPhoto 6 then go to the View->Show in Tool Bar menu option and see if what you want is checked or unchecked. Those items will show up in the bottom tool bar.
    Do you Twango?

  • 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.

  • Eject Button in Menu Bar?

    I have recently made the move to a Mac, I have a Mac Mini and I am running OS X Lion. In the top right hand corner of the the screen on the menu bar I see an Eject button. What is it for? I have a 16 GB USB thumb drive connected, a 1TB External that I have partitioned into two 500 GB partitions connected and yet it still says "No Drives"
    So what is it not functioning properly? Can I get rid of it?
    Thanks

    Just command-drag it off the menu bar.
    No idea how it got there unless you or something you installed put it there. Perhaps some software from one of the drives?
