How to reposition some of the third party icons on the RHS of the menu bar

I want to move some third party menu bar items closer to the center of the menu bar display.
Help says to do a command drag but this does not work on third party icons (and doesn't do much for apple icons either).
Help!

Hi, welcome to Apple discussions.
Menu items can only be flush against the right side of the menu bar -- you can't move them to the center. And as you've discovered, command drag is for re-arranging your set of items, not for re-positioning. Re-arranging only works on Apple menu items and third-party menu items that have reverse engineered Apple's method of writing menu bar items.
Other third-party menu items are added to the left side of the Apple ones in the order they are ready for service (often their launch order, but not always). The only way to re-arrange these accurately is to write an AppleScript that launches your items in a specific order with a delay between each to insure they are active for service in the same order. Then, remove those menu items from your Login items and replace them with the script.

  • How to show items in the menu bar

    I'd like to know how to add and/or delete items from the menu bar.

    Yes....there is a menu bar at the top of the screen in which sit icons of things like volume, the date, the language, etc. When there are many of them, sometimes you can't see them all. I want to rearrange the order of some of them so that I can always see my Dropbox icon for example. If Apple kept iDisk (!!!!) that worked so well, I wouldn't be worrying about Dropbox. 

  • How to remove "help" from the menu bar?

    I'm using a landscape monitor in vertical mode, so I have a very narrow top of the screen. I never use the help button, ever. How can I remove it from the menu bar, freeing up some space? I need more space in the menu bar for MenuMeters etc. Thanks.

    Usually the apps belonging to these icons have an option that allows you to hide the Menu Bar icon by allowing them to run as an app in the dock. However, certain applications like Caffeine must show their icons as otherwise you wouldn't be able to access them.
    For example, Dropbox doesn't allow you to remove its menu bar icon:

  • How can I turn on the menu bar for veiw, help, bookmarks?

    I have lost the menu bar and status bar on my Firefox. How do I turn it back on?

    Firefox 3.6+ versions have a feature to allow the user to hide the Menu bar.
    Hit the '''Alt''' key to temporarily show the Menu bar, then open View > Toolbars and select Menu bar, so it has a check-mark. <br />
    The F10 can also be used on most PC's to temporarily reveal the Menu bar.

  • How to add gmail to the menu bar

    Just installed Mozilla Firefox on a new computer. How do I add a link to gmail to the task bar?

    hi,
    there are 2 options for this, make sure you choose which is best for you.
    1. '''if you're the only one using your pc/laptop'''
    * open your gmail and log on to your account
    * once your logged in, drag and drop the gmail or google icon (top left of your inbox page) to your toolbar menu.
    ('''''this will log you in automatically everytime you click on the gmail icon on your toolbar''''')
    '''2. if you're not the only one using your pc/laptop'''
    * go to gmail (do not log in)
    * click the "star" to bookmark the gmail log in page
    * open the bookmarks folder and look for gmail in your "recently bookedmark pages" folder
    * once you see the gmail page, drag and drop it on your toolbar
    ('''''this will automatically open a new tab where you can log in on your gmail account''''')
    to test wether you got it right, close the tab and open another one and click on the gmail shortcut on you toolbar

  • I lose the minimize, restore and close down buttons in the top right corner when removing the Menu Bar.

    I am using Firefox 28.0 on my Windows 7 64-bit PC. I would like to remove ONLY the menu bar and keep the orange Firefox tab. But when I uncheck the Menu Bar box, I not only lose the menu bar, I lose the three buttons on the very right of the screen as well - the minimize button, the maximize/restore down button, and the red 'X' close button. The space where these buttons ought to be is black. When I recheck the Menu Bar box, those three buttons on the right of the screen reappear!
    I would like to know how I am to remove the Menu Bar but keep the minimize button, the maximize/restore down button and the red 'X' close button.
    Eagerly waiting for your reply! Thanks much! ♥

    Hello again, cor-el,
    Thank you again for keeping up with me on this! I really appreciate your time!
    I tried your suggestions of using Safe Mode and a different Windows theme (2 different ones to be exact), but neither solved the problem. Each time I tried disabling the Menu Bar, the same 3 buttons disappeared and I got nothing but black space. It doesn't even fill the space with any background I may have. It's just black.
    Additionally, disabling all my personas did not help, either. :(
    I've been using Firefox for years now and I've never had this issue. It's always worked flawlessly for me.

  • How to erase some of the pictures in photo stream

    How to delete some of the pictures in photo stream?

    You can delete photos from your photo stream the same way you delete other photos from your iOS device or Mac. Just select the photos you want to remove, then tap the trash icon or click Delete.
    On your PC, select the photos you want to remove from your photo stream, right-click, then select delete.
    When you delete a photo from My Photo Stream on one device, iCloud will automatically delete it from the My Photo Stream album or view on your other devices.
