ITunes icon in menu bar

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.

  • No icons on menu bar

    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!
    Regards,
    Dean

  • 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

    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

  • Icons in Menu Bar disappearing

    Since installing Yosemite 10.10 the icons in my menu bar disappear and reappear constantly. All that remains is the spotlight icon (the File, Edit, View, etc. tabs are unaffected). From what I have read, not many others are experiencing this, since I haven't been able to find a forum regarding this problem. Anyway, one thing that might be relevant is that when installing Yosemite, my MacBook Pro shut off. The battery was fully charged. When I turned it back on, the MBP restarted the installation process and now I'm here. Aside from problems with iTunes 12.0.1.26 not detecting my iPod Classic, which many others seem to be experiencing, this is the only issue I have with Yosemite. Should I just wait for an update? I've posted two screenshots of exactly what it looks like with and without the icons. I named my MBP gucci little piggy after a track on Ok Computer haha.

    that's what I was referring to, yeah.
    Yes, when I entered it in terminal this was the result:
    Last login: Wed Dec  3 17:46:05 on console
    Macintosh:~ Jonah$ ps -axwwwww | grep -i uiserv
    2618 ??         0:00.23 /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemUIServer.app/Contents/MacOS/SystemUIServer
    2622 ttys000    0:00.00 grep -i uiserv
    Macintosh:~ Jonah$
    Looks like my font has changed haha. Anyway, when I manually run it, it forces the icons to appear briefly, but then they return to flashing at seemingly random intervals. At one point I was spamming the .app and occasionally two sets of icons would appear in the menu bar; one set on the right where they normally appear, and another set of identical icons including my user name, time, battery life, etc. appeared in the middle of the menu bar. That led me to believe the problem may be independent of the SystemUIServer.app
    When I created another user the problem wasn't there! Nice! Unfortunately I'm still stuck with the notorious flashing.

  • Sync Icon on Menu Bar?  What does this mean? How can I get more info on it?

    I just noticed for the first time, a SYNC icon on the Macbook Pro/Lion menu bar and it is going strong - twirling its little heart out.  Im not sure what this is or what it is doing.  Im having a feeling something got set up (I dont really know what Im doing ) that had to do with maybe syncing a calendar with Google? for an Android phone?  Is t here a way I can check out what this is and what its doing -   It just keeps twirling around so Im not sure what its doing or how long it will take and I dont know that I want it doing wh atever its doing.  Maybe it has something to do with contacts?  The only option I can find when I click on the icon, it says 'cancel sync.'  Is there a way to "get info" - and find out what its doing.  I dont want it twirlling forever as I assume thats going to eat up the battery...I dont have anything set up to sync consistently so I dont know whats its doing or whether I should stop it.  Its been going on for like over 5 minutes and that doesnt seem right to me

    If it's a one-time "glitch," you can try restarting your computer with the iPod still connected.  Try ejecting again after the restart.
    If the problem recurs, you may have a process running (other than iTunes) that is accessing the iPod's storage.  When connected, the iPod's "disk" is like other mounted volumes.  This process may be some type of utility that continously monitors your mounted volumes for security reasons, such as to prevent access by malware.
    If you know of such a program that you have running in the background, there may be a setting to exclude your iPod's disk.

  • Removing plugin icons from menu bar

    Hi everyone
    I installed a qloud plugin for itunes, but then uninstalled it. Now, every time I open itunes, a 'my music' icon appears on the menu bar. I want to remove it but haven't yet been able to. I tried holding command and removing it, but the next time I went onto iTunes, it came back. The icon has not been installed into the /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/ folder either. Has anyone got any ideas of how to get rid of this icon??

  • Date/time icon and other movable icons on menu bar cannot be loaded on startup,but it works if manually loaded

    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.

  • 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.
