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.

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

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!

I was looking at a friend's Powerbook G4, he had an iTunes icon (rewind/play-pause/ff) icon in menu bar, next to clock etc.
I can't work out how that icon gets there.
Any clues please?
My iTunes is 5.0.1 (4)
btw - my friend has gone away, so can't ask him!It' not an iTunes feature. Some 3rd party applications can put some items in the menubar.
Go to versiontracker.com and search for 'itunes menubar'.
You will find a few applications that can do what you have seen.

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. -
no airplay icon in menu bar (Apple tv 3, mavericks)
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You will see the AirPlay icon on the menu bar by two reasons:
1. Your computer is compatible with AirPlay Mirroring > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
2. Your computer has detected an Apple TV in the network.
If both things are done, you will see the AirPlay icon. You can see which Mac you have got in > About this Mac > More Info. If your computer isn't compatible, you can use an application like Beamer or AirParrot -
Strange things happened since my mbp 13' (MD-101) was upgraded to 10.8.4 ----------- time icon, battery icon,and language icon (these icons can be moved when held Command key and drag) cannot be loaded on startup, but they still can be loaded when you get into System Preferences and manually turn them on, as well as iStat Menus
However, some other icons didn't bother, things like BetterTouchTool, NewsBar. They are immovable!! I guess it is the key factor that the icon is movable or not making the difference.
Someone please lend me a helping hand?
I've attached some pictures in order to make my situation easier to be understood.
these icons can't be loaded on my loggin in.
but they can be loaded manually
however, these icons will be loaded on startup
I've almost despaired to resolve it . Thanks for your help!I have a similar issue. When the computer goes into "Hibernate" mode -- that is, it loses power while sleeping and it writes the contents of it's memory to disk in order to boot into that exact configuration when woken up -- many of my icons when Apple-Tab'ing to another application appear as static. They look like a slightly colorized version of the "static snow" you see when tuning into a station that doesn't exist on a UHF antenna television. Also, icons in Chrome such as web sites "favorite icons" or favicon.ico (the icons that appear in the URL bar and bookmarks) will be scrambled in the same fashion , at first , until the actual icon is loaded.
Between this, my menu bar and finder icons not displaying, and being unable to boot into safe mode, I'm getting quite ******. I have no idea what the **** is going on with my Macbook Pro. The issue of the scrambled icons actually existed prior to installing an SSD and doing a fresh install of Mountain Lion. I may end up throwing in the towl and re-installing the operating system but I'm sure SOMETHING will happen. It seems the latest update, 10.8.2, is absolute garbage.
What the ****, Apple? And I really don't want to take the computer to the morons at the Apple Store. They are not "geniuses" by any measure. -
How can you get rid of icons in menu bar?
I recently took my MacBook to the local store to have it cleared and restored back to factory settings. I have the OS X Mountain Lion program installed. I set up two accounts (Admin account and second one to use). When I turned my computer off and back on again, I've noticed a Guest account. When I went into my System Preferences to get rid of it, I've noticed that it's greyed out (so I can't delete it). Another issue I'm having is a symbol I'm seeing up top in my menu bar (<--->. Does anyone know what this means and how I can go about getting rid of it?
In the area where it allows you to add or delete the delete symbol is greyed (shaded) out where I don't have that option to delete the "guest" account. And the ethernet symbol I'm seeing in the right hand corner of my screen is still there after deleting it in the System Preference/Network section.

Time machine icon in menu bar doesn't spin anymore in Mavericks
On three separate machines, new iMac, MacBook Pro, and Air, menu bar Time Machine icon no longer spins when backing up.
Maybe it has to do with Maverick's memory/power usage techniques. By not having the Time Machine icon spin it save one processing and power. That's my uneducated guess.
I will say that I am not a fan of it either as it looks like the menu is stuck or has crashed rather than actually doing something. That is why I came here. It comes across as something being wrong.
It is not a very good icon or representation of what is going on. They could have at least moved the clock hands to another position or something.The small additional arrow is just not enough.
Cheers, Andrew. -
How do I delete spinning wheel on top of program icon in menu bar at top of screen?
I had LogMeIn installed on my iMac and it worked fine for a while. Then the icon for the program in the menu bar at the top of the screen went gray. When I hover the mouse over the icon a spinning pinwheel appears, so I can't click the icon to start the program. I deleted the program and then reinstalled it, but the gray icon and spinning wheel never whent away. Any thoughts on how to delete the spinning wheel would be appreciated. I'm a novice on the IMac. Thanks.
Problem solved. Placed Icon for Log Me In on dock and rebooted iMac. Not sure why, but it worked.

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.

Time machine icon in Menu bar no longer rotates during backups
Ever since upgrading to Mavericks, the Time Machine icon in my menu bar does not turn while it's doing a backup. I have to click on it to see whether it's doing a backup. This started with Mavericks, and was not fixed in 10.9.1. Will it be addressed in 10.9.2?
That's just the way it is now.

Icons in menu bar and standard menus are invisible!
I'm having an issue with OS X 10.8.2 on my 15" (not Retina) Macbook Pro (late 2011, Core i7 2.4 GHz w/ 16GB RAM and SSD);
The majority of system icons in the menu bar "extras" area (that is, to the right near the date/time in the menu bar) are blank. The area where the icon would be located is responsive to clicks, and drops a menu item down upon click, but the icons themselves are invisible. The same goes for Spotlight which has a spot for it's icon and responds to the hotkey of Apple + Spacebar, but the icon itself is invisible. The only icons that are visible are third party programs that run and place themselves there such as Little Snitch, and the battery low ("red" battery) indicator icon; other battery icons are invisible.
Also invisible/blank are the icons for going back and forward in a Finder window as well as the back/forward icons in System Preferences sub-dialogs. The icons for choosing labels, changing the way Finder windows display (their view options), and a few others that I cannot name as I cannot see them are invisible as well. Icons that would normally display to the left of "All My Files", "AirDrop", "Applications", "Desktop", et cetera in the Finder window do not display, either.
I have tried installing the 10.8.2 Combo Update and using the Disk Utility "Repair" and "Verify" Filesystem options but neither fixed the issue. I have tried deleting the cached plist files for the SystemUIServer as well but there was no change in the icon display (or, that is, lack of display!).
I am running Mac OS X 10.8.2 (including the Combined Update) on the late-2011 Macbook Pro 15" w/ 2.4 GHz Core i7 (default 4GB memory and 750gb HDD; upgraded to 16GB of RAM and a Crucial M4 256GB SSD). I cannot recall if the problem started after I updated any system software or not; I upgraded to 10.8.2 via buying OS X Mountain Lion from the App Store so that I would have a copy on USB to install after replacing my HDD with my SSD. Everything worked fine on fresh installation, and I am not sure at what point the icons disappeared.
Does anyone have any insight into this problem, and more importantly, how to correct it? Please see the screenshots below for a proper illustration of the problem I am experiencing. The sole icon visible, with the two columns, is Little Snitch 3.0.
^-- Clicking the menu bar battery icon (except, there is no icon!)
^-- Finder window with the icons for back/forward, view options, icons for location list items on the left, etc. missing
^-- System Preferences dialog, with icons for the back/forward function missing.
^-- Help window with the icons for back/forward and some other function missing.
Thank you in advance!

Shorten Menu items to make room for more icons in menu bar
Is there any way to shorten the menu items in the menu bar, so that there will be more space for the icons? For instance, in Safari, the first Menu item, File, could be abbreviated to F, Edit could be E, etc. That way, the shortcuts for apps through icons in the menu bar would have more space, to permit more icons to be shown.
An option, although not a full fledged one, would be to configure the icons in much the same way as in the dock, drag and drop them to the desired location.
Any thoughts on this?Not possible by normal methods - some hacking is required.
