Finder Action menu icon

This icon (animated) has suddenly appeared in the upper right side of the screen, where the wireless, sound and battery indicators appear. If I right click it, it says 'Stop Open in Preview', but there's no way to get rid of it. I tried holding down the Command key and dragging it from the toolbar, but nothing happens. I'm at a loss as to why it is there or how to get rid of it.

If you can not command+dag it off the menu bar it means that it was installed by one of your 3rd party programs (no idea which one). check your login items in accounts system preferences. one of those login items must be doing it. removing this login item and logging out/in should make this icon go away.

Can't find action menu in iCloud to add filter

Apple support says to acess the "action pop-up menu" in the sidebar to add filtering rules. There's no visible action pop-up menu here.
How can I add filtering rules? Where can I find the action menu?
Thanks.

It should be on the bottom-left corner in the Mail application on iCloud.com. If you don't see it, make sure your browser is full screen.

Can't find the menu icon on my firefox or mozzila desktop. Where is it?

Need to turn off pop up blockers for some websites. Need to start with menu icon, can't find it, not on desktop.

Note that Firefox 24 doesn't have the "3-bar" Firefox menu button that came with the Australis user interface, but still have the orange Firefox menu button if the menu bar is hidden.
You can tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar.

Sudden finder freezing. menu icons not loading. slow performance

Please help. My Powerbook has suddenly started acting strangely. After restarting the menu bar icons take around 5 minutes to load up. The airport cannot pick up any signals. The compiuter has no startup sound. The computer tends to freeze from the finder forcing a hard restart. I would like to re-install the system or run a diagnostic but am overseas without the disks. Have zapped PRAM and fixed privelages, trashed pref files. nothing.
Hoping I can get someone with some idea? i've run out.
thanks

If the machine has always taken 12 minutes to start up, since it came out of the box, then it was and is defective. There's nothing to do in that case but to take it in for service.

Is it possible to get the menu icon (verticle ellipsis) on my home touch buttons?

I just got the LG G3 smartphone, and I can't find the menu icon (vertical ellipsis) anywhere (except on apps). I'd like to have it as one of my home touch buttons, but it's not one of the icons available. What gives?

Press and hold the task-switching button (the overlapping rectangles), and it'll pop up. The LG G3 has a menu button; here's where to find it | Android Central

Where is the action menu in Pages?

Where is the action menu in Pagess? The "accepting changes" help says its all in the "Action Menu" but nothing is labled as the "action menu" Where is it?

Simio,
I must confess, I didn't research the answer very well before my first response. It turns out that in the current version of the English edition of Pages User Guide, the phrase "Action Menu" appears 20 times. And to think I don't recall ever seeing it before.
My reading of the guide indicates that the "gear" icon with a disclosure triangle is an Action Menu. They are everywhere, in many contexts besides Tracking, and I always thought of them as the "gear" menu. Dale's graphic gets you close, but his capture isn't quite wide enough to catch the Action Menu icon. It's here:
And, it looks like this after clicking the disclosure triangle:

The action menu can be restored by, in the Finder, selecting under View menu "Customize Toolbar ...". There you will see options to put the action menu (wheel) back on your toolbar.

Finder Menu Icons Missing

My finder menu Icons are missing this all began after I was in a login screen and ran a micro fiber cloth across the keyboard. Since then I have lost all my menu icons and boot up takes five minutes this is a Brand new 27" IMac (February 2014) running Mavericks OSX 10.9.2
I have repaired Pemissions and deleted the finder.plist
Anyone have any idea whats going on? Any Ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

my mac os is 10.6.8 and when I try to upgrade, says I have most up to date software.
You do. 10.6.8 is the latest update to 10.6.
10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion are paid upgrades. Buy 10.8 in the Mac App Store if your Mac is compatible by searching for "Mountain Lion." If not, call Apple to order 10.7 Lion after making sure your Mac meets the requirements.

Removing Aggregate Functions from the Action Menu

Hi People,
I'd like to remove the following aggregate functions from the action menu on a report, if possible:
1. Minimum
2. Maximum
3. Median
Is this actually possible, or am I stuck with them? I've had a good sniff around, but can't find any way to remove them so far.
Cheers.

Ok, first click on your name in the menu bar. Then click on "Users&Groups Prefrences..." You should see a little house icon next to 'Login Options" under the menu where all user accounts are displayed. Click on it. Where it says "Show fast user switching menu as" and next to it a dropdown saying "Full Name" change that to icon. After you have done that, the name should be replaced with an icon. Hope this helped.

Cover Flow, Finder, Get Info icon dilemma

I was using Cover Flow to look at some photos. I clicked Cmd-I to Get Info in order to use the drop down menu there to change the default application to open one of the images from Preview to Photoshop. Once I did this the photo no longer displayed in Cover Flow. What I saw instead was a default jpeg icon. The icon of the image also changed in the Finder from an icon of the actual image to a default jpeg icon.
Seems like there are some glitches here. Can anybody duplicate this problem. Is there a known fix? Thanks.

Well, that is certainly strange! I tried it and sure enough I got exactly the same results. Which is truly weird because I have many Photoshop jpegs that do not have custom icons, and they display an icon in Finder perfectly well. And, of course, so do generic jpegs. But if you change a generic jpeg to open in Photoshop Finder stops drawing the icon. Furthermore, when I changed it back to open in Preview it did not recover--it continued to display the generic Photoshop jpec icon. Nothing I did would make Finder display a custom icon for the file. I even quit and relaunched Finder to no avail. The only thing that worked was to use my Automator workflow to give it a custom icon. Looks like a bug to me. Send feedback to Apple:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html/
Truly odd behavior.

How do I turn off my pop-up blocker I can't find the tools icon

I can't find the tools icon I have shockwave and Java plugin 1.6.0

Click Firefox button > Options > Options > Content tab.<br />
You can still use the Menu Bar, with the Tools choice. To temporarily display the Menu Bar, press the ALT key or the F10 key and make selections from the Menu Bar while it is displayed. You can also permanently display the Menu bar if you prefer it to the Firefox button menu (see ''Common questions after updating Firefox'' below).

Interactive Report - Add a 'custom' Action Menu Item

Hi,
I'm wondering if it is possible to add 'custom' Action menu items to an interactive report?
I have a situation where I want to use all the richness that an interactive report gives with it's out of the box functionality, then if a download is selected I need to be able to set a 'lock' on the currently selected records set before the records are downloaded.
I've had a good look around the forum and various other sites and I can't seem to find anything in this area. The nearest I can find is on the OBD tutorials the ability to add a 'Reset' button.
I know how to create custom download functionality, to which I could add the required record locking functionality and in turn link to a button, but what I don't know how to do is pull out the selection variables from the Interactive Report in order to construct my select query.
Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree and there's a better way if so any suggestions would be most welcome.
Many thanks in advance Peter..
