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.

Sim icon in menu bar showing "No SIM" in menu on MPB. How to remove?

In my menu bar I've got a strange icon showing simcard with exclamation mark. When I click it, it shows tiny menu with "No SIM".
I don't know where it came from and how to get rid of it.
I've removed old mobile phones with modems from list of my bluetooth devices, and removed all mobiles in Networking preferences.
I don't have any peripherals connected that could use SIM. I never had any mobile broadband modems and don't recall installing such software.
Where this icon comes from and how can I get rid of it?

I can't tell you where it comes from, but in general you can remove icons from the right part of the menu bar by holding a "command" key down while you drag the icon down out of the menu bar.

How to fix a spinning wheel at apple logo?

Hello
STAGE ONE
1.     I have a Macbook Pro running 10.7.5 OSX.
2.     The computer is hanging at the Apple Logo at the grey spinning wheel.
3.     I did a SHFT + CTL + CMD + POWER to shutdown computer.
4.     I did a CMD + POWER and the computer comes up VERY SLOWLY...
        I was able to move around but at a SNAILS PACE...
STAGE TWO
5.     I checked the web and utube and I found that I need to re-install the software...
6.     I went to my COMPUTER BOX and I found out that the Software Installation Disk was not in my Computer BOX ...
       Good Srategy !!!
STAGE THREE
7.     I tried purchasing a newer version of the software thru the ONLINE STORE for $19,
        however , after 2 hours the download failed at the very end of the download.
8.     O.K. I thought maybe my download was interupted, so I tried the download again
        and after another 2 hours, the download failed at the very end of the download.
9.     SO.... Now I am out $19 and 6 hours of trying to resolve this issue.
STAGE FOUR
10.     I decided to walk over to the APPLE STORE at the Eaton Centre at lunch...
11.     You guessed it... I can make an appointment for 8 PM...
STAGE FIVE
12.     Does anyone have any other Ideas for getting my MACBOOK PRO to come back from the dead.
13.     Microsoft is starting to look good again...

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since your last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
     a. Boot into the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
If you've booted from an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Step 3
Boot in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you boot in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, your boot volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 5.
If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 4
Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 5
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select your startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then reboot as usual.
Step 6
Reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 7
Repeat step 6, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 8
This step applies only to a pre-2013 Mac Pro tower, not to any other model. A dead logic-board battery can cause a gray screen at boot. Typically the boot failure will be preceded by loss of the startup disk and system clock settings. See the user manual for replacement instructions.
Step 9
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.

How to I fix spinning wheel

My mac is often stalled with spinning wheel.
What is best method to fix it?

Check your RAM. If you are running lion and have 2GB, you need to upgrade. I was with a genius yesterday who told me Lion needs over 1 GB to run.
I installed the new RAM myself and it was not hard at all - and I have never opened a computer before in my life. My mac is a whole new machine.
Good luck and I hope this helps!

MacBook pro will not boot. I get the gray screen, an apple icon and spinning wheel. Tried to start in safe mode but get the same screen. The only thing different was that I loaded the zedge sync app yesterday. Now getting this problem.

Macbook pro will not boot. I get the gray screen, an apple icon and spinning wheel. I tried to start in safe mode, but get this same screen. The only thing different is that I added the zedge update app to do a sync for adding ringtones to my apple cell phone. How can I get a good boot. I am fairly new to apple computer.

Reset PRAM: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405 and then try a normal boot.
Run the Startup Manager to select Startup disk: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1310
If those did not work your disk may be sick or dying. The top priority at this point is to make a backup copy of your data.
Check the health of the disk. Boot in Recovery Mode (Boot, Command-R). Run Disk Utility. Click on the upper left disk icon. Does the S.M.A.R.T. status say “Verified”? If not the disk/SSD is unhealthy and needs to be replaced. Even if it does not show “Verified” you can still attempt a backup.
Click on the icon indented below, usually called “Macintosh HD” and Verify Disk. If it finishes with a green “OK” message then all is well with the disk. If it shows errors in red then you have found a problem to address once the system is backed up. Do not attempt software repairs until you have secured the data.
If the disk will not show up at all in Disk Utility as your ran the tests above then it may be dead or it may have a bad internal SATA cable. A trip to an Apple store for confirmation would be in order.
If you have an external disk drive you can use as a backup drive then do so. If not Google “Hitachi USB 3.0 external hard drive 1TB” to purchase one or go to a brick-and-mortar store (including an Apple store) to pickup one. Any 1 TB external drive will do.
Assuming it is still breathing you can try to recover the data without booting from the sick disk.
Reformat the external disk. (This will erase all data on the external disk.)
Boot in Recovery Mode. Start Disk Utility. Plug in the new disk. Select it’s disk Icon (the second one down, left justified). Select the Partition tab.
Partition Layout > Single Partition
Name: Emergency Recovery 1 (or whatever name you wish to use)
Format: Mac OS Extended (journaled)
Options… > GUID Partition Table > OK
Apply
Select the Restore tab.
Drag the old system volume (Macintosh HD) to Source.
Drag the new disk volume (Emergency Recovery 1) to Destination.
Click on Restore.
It may take a long time for the backup.
If that will not complete post back for other emergency data recovery methods, including those from a brody.
If the backup succeeds, use the First Aid tab in Disk Utility to select the old volume (Macintosh HD) and Repair Disk. If it does not finish with a green OK message try to repair it once or twice more. If it repairs with a green OK message, will it boot normally? If not, boot from the Recovery Partition and reinstall OS X.
If it is still not healthy, post back for further instructions.

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.

How can I configure my Macbook Air to always show the menu bar when in full-screen? I hate, hate, hate it popping up and then going away all the time.

I cannot find a way to change this in System Preferences. When I have applications open full screen, my menu bar disappears. Then when I try to move between tabs, I find it is always popping up & then disappearing. I really just want to set up my computer so that the menu bar always displays in the foreground. I find this popping up & disappearing intrusive and annoying. How can I fix this? I hate, hate, hate this about my MAC...
I have searched the full User Guide, Quick Start Guide, etc. and cannot find a way to fix this.

Don't use the full screen arrow in the top right corner of the window. Instead, use the green + in the top left corner. That takes the window full screen just below the menu bar.

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
