Icons disappeared beside Spotlight

All icons disappeared, I don't know which input method I use whether English or Chinese? Please help!

are you trying to get the icon back, so you can switch between languages?
if so go to system preferences > international
click on "input menu"
then in the bottom left click the box that says "show input menu in menu bar"
also make sure the languages you want are checked as well.
hope this is what you were looking for

  • Top menu bar icons disappearing when clicking on Spotlight (wi-fi, date, user, spotlight) on Mountain Lion?

    Hi!
    Something very strange started happening. When I click the spotlight icon on the top bar, all system apps icons disappear and then reapear.
    I've also seen this happen without me clicking the spotlight icon.
    I'm using a iMac 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 with 8 GB of RAM using Mountain Lion (10.8).
    Any idea of what this is?
    I've attached a screenshot:
    Thanks!

    Well, I self-answer.
    Following advices found on very old threads here (like this), I understood one possible cause could be some incompatibility of the extras in menu bar. I tried removing Bluetooth extra and also the volume controller (that I never use), and it seems, after a few days, the problem is no more present.

  • I have Mac OS10.4.11 with MS Office 2004 installed. Yesterday, when clicking on the Entourage icon, in the dock, to receive my Email, the icon disappeared and I lost my Email service from the HD and from Spotlight, as well. Word, Excel and PP are still OK

    I have Mac OS10.4.11 with MS Office 2004 for Mac, installed. Yesterday, when clicking on the Entourage icon, in the dock, to receive my Email, the icon disappeared and I lost my Email service from the HD and from Spotlight, as well. Word, Excel and PP are still OK. Could this be a virus?

    Just thinking, if things are really missing...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

  • I downloaded IOS6 and all my apps, including the App Store icon, disappeared. If I go to the Passport icon, there is an App Store button, but I have to search through all the apps to find the one I want  and then click on "Open" to use it.  Help!

    I downloaded IOS6 and all of my app icons, including the App Store icon disappeared. Now to use an icon, I have to go to Passport and click on the App Store button at the bottom and search through all of the apps to find the one I want and then click on Open. There doesn't seem to be a way to delete the app and start over.

    Hey PlayerPS,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like the application you are looking for is indeed still on your iPhone. You can confirm this by searching in the Spotlight Search for this application. It may have accidentally been moved to a folder, or an additional Home screen:

  • Calendar icon disappeared iphone 5

    My calendar icon disappeared.  How can I get it back?

    Do a Spotlight Search (magnifying glass icon in the upper right of your screen) and type "iCal" in the search. Does it find it?

  • Safari and mail icons disappear

    The Safari and Mail icons keep disappearing from the dock on my iMac. I've dragged them back from the Applications folder, and they disappear again within seconds. If I open the applications from the Apllications Folder, the icons appear on the right side of the dock. Then, as soon as I close the applications the icons disappear. I've deleted the dock preferences file, and i"ve also disabled dock synching from Mobile Me, but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions ?

    Have you checked all your homescreens and app folders for them, and do they show on the iPad's spotlight search screen (swipe your first homescreen to the right and type in Safari or Mail) ?
    Safari can be hidden via Settings > General > Restrictions > Safari being 'off', so you could check that as well.
    If you still can't find then try a reset and see if you can find them after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot
    There is also Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout which will reset the layout of your apps and might make it easier to find them.

  • IPod icon disappears from "My Compter"

    Hi, I'm trying to transfer songs from my iPod to a new computer. When I open up 'My computer" the iPod Icon is initially recognized in the USB port, however, after about 20 seconds the icon disappears. This leaves me with only enough time to download a handful of songs at a time. Is there a way to keep my Ipod from disconnecting? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    It isn't possible to delete any of the apps included with the firmware/OS, and especially the iPod.
    How many full home pages of apps do you have? If you have more than 11 home pages of apps, the apps are available but won't be visible to select since only 11 home pages will be shown. You can select an app available on an non-shown home page by doing a Spotlight search.

  • Iphone photo icon disappeared

    iphone photo icon disappeared. How to restore?

    It's a pre-installed app and therefore cannot be deleted so you may have inadvertently moved it onto a screen or into a folder.  Check all screens and folders and do a search in Spotlight, it will tell you if the app it still on your iPhone but unfortunately not where it is. If you find it on one or your screens or in a folder, press the icon until it wiggles and then drag it back to where you want it.  Alternatively you can reset your home screen in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

  • Menu Bar Icons Disappeared and other issues after Security Update 2006-001

    Hi,
    I was really affraid when i've heard about the Safari vulnerability, so I was really happy to see the Security Update 2006-001.
    But after installing it, I'm having regrets:
    * mouse speed turned to default settings
    * system preferences crashes when i try to access to Mouse & Keyboard
    * all the menu bar icons disappeared: Bluetooth, Airport, Time, EVEN Spotlight
    * Finder is slower...
    I've repaired disk permissions but: nothing happens....
    What should I do please?
    Should I wait?

    How did you fix it? I'm having the same problem
    myself.
    Mandy,
    I'm gonna tell you a secret, just like i said my problem wasn't due to the Security Update but because of Front Row.
    How? Because, I've hacked my iMac (without iSight) to install FrontRow (with an update), and i've installed the Security Update at the same time. Restarted my computer, and thought the problem was due to the Security Update.
    If you did the same thing, here's the trick to remove Front Row:
    Delete Front Row (/System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row.app)
    Install/reinstall the the latest Mac OS X Update Combo.
    This article assumes you haven’t tried installing Front Row before without the use of Enabler. If you have used one of the very early versions of Front Row (ones installed without Enabler):
    Delete Front Row (/System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row.app)
    Delete the preference file (/System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.frontrow.plist)
    Remove any Login Items that launch Front Row (System Preferences >Accounts >User >Login Items)
    Disable any shortcuts managed by third-party applications that launched Front Row.
    Reboot and reinstall.

  • Iphone ical icon disappeared from screen-how to get it back?

    My ical icon disappeared from my main screen on my 4G iphone. I can still access the calendar by using spotlight so I know it's on the phone but how can I replace icon?

    Stock apps can't be deleted, so either its been moved to another page or placed in a folder. If you're positive you've looked on every page & in every folder and still can't see it, do this: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. See if you see it now.

    What troubleshooting steps have you taken? Have you checked Settings>General>Restrictions? Have you done a Spotlight search for it? Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears?

  • I was moving icons and my Settings icon disappeared

    i was moving icons when my Settings icon disappeared.  How do i get it back?  resetting did not work.

    From allan778,
    The settings app cannot be deleted. Try searching for the Settings app in Spotlight and see which folder it is in. The folder name will be displayed on the right.

  • Where do the icons went on spotlight search on iphone6

    Hi I have iphone6 wen I swipe down on home screen the spotlight search is not working and the 5 icons disappeared. Safari is not working either. Thank you

    Greetings luzcali,
    After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing an error with your device. You may want to consider restarting the device first, and then resetting if that does not work. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    How to restart
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device until the red slider appears. Then drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
    After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
    How to reset
    You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities,

  • Safari icon disappears from desktop/menu bar

    my son clicked on safari to open it on our new imac. he said the icon disappeared. he was right. i had to go to spotlight and open it from there. i tried to drag the icon from the applications after spotlight found it, but it wouldn't stay on my desktop at the bottom menu bar.
    how do i get it on my menu bar again.
    why did this hapend

    thank you.
    i was finally able to drag it to the menu applications bar at the bottom, to the left of the double white line, but i had to first drag it onto my desktop, and then into the menu bar on the bottom.
    however, it stayed in both places. on my desktop and down in my menu bar. i would like it only in my menu bar, but i'm afraid if i drag the icon from my desktop to the trash, it will delete both, or all safari applications, and i wouldn't want that to happen.
    how do i remove it from my desktop, yet keep it in the menu bar at the bottom? it used to always be in the menu bar on the bottom, and never on the desktop screen itself.
    am i making any sense?
