Just installed OSX Mavericks. Bluetooth disappeared from menu bar and system preferences panel. I use a Magic Mouse but my iMac no longer recognizes it as such, and I can no longer use it to scroll screen. What happened?

Since Mavricks installed: My Spotlight icon disappears from the menu bar, but the space stays there. If I click on the blank space where the
spotlight icon is supposed to be - the spotlight menu opens. So, for me, the icon is there, it works except that it is invisible at times. IF I do a re-start it is there. If I let the computer set, sleep or other wise stay on for days, the icon will hide and re-appear at random.

Day of the week keeps disappearing from menu bar

This obviously isn't a life and death problem, but when I select "Show day of the week in the menu bar" in System Settings--(approximate translation, my system's in Russian), the day of the week will show up for a few moments and then vanish. I like having the day of the week there. Any idea how to get it to stick?

hey, I've found a way to fix it at last
here's what I just did step by step:
1)downloaded a com.apple.menuextra.clock.plist file from a Snow Leopard machine to see the difference and replaced my file on Lion with this one. to display the day of the week the file should look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
          <key>DateFormat</key>
          <string>E d MMM H:mm</string>
          <key>FlashDateSeparators</key>
          <false/>
          <key>IsAnalog</key>
          <false/>
</dict>
</plist>
where "E" I guess is responsible for the day.
2) went to the preferences of com.apple.menuextra.clock.plist and made it protected (just marked a checkbox in the file's properties window)
3) deleted the com.apple.menuextra.clock.plist.lockfile (located in the same folder, as the plist we edit)
4) locked the changes in time/date system settings and tried to unlock it a few times entering a wrong password (kinda strange, dunno why I did that, just felt like it )
so now after I reboot, log out with or without opened windows restoration I still see the day of the week

Help, my Clock has disappeared from menu bar, how can I get it back ?

Can someone please tell me how to return my clock to the menu bar directly above the Mac HD icon?
I went to system preferences, clicked clock, clicked the date and Time tab and found it set on Show date and time, View in menu bar, view as analog. Under that it said show AM / PM and Show day of the week. These last two selections were printed in pale gray, not in black. On the lower left corner of this date and time tab, was an open lock. I clicked it closed in hopes this action would return my clock to the menu bar. It did not. So I clicked the lock open again. I would very much appreciate someone telling me how to return my clock to the menu bar. Thank you in advance

You should consider updating to 10.4.11,
But perhaps your Mac needs a bit of TLC:
Repairing permissions is an important part of regular maintenance, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
This only takes a minute or two.
Background information here:

and here:

An article on troubleshooting Permissions can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963
If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

Bluetooth icon disappeared from menu bar

Hi. For a while, my Bluetooth icon was moving around the menu bar and now it has disappeared. I have Bluetooth enabled, but the icon is missing. How do I get it back? Is there a way to customize the menu bar?
Thanks

Same experience here. For a while, my Bluetooth menu icon has been shifting around and now it has totally disappeared. Going to System preferences to click the bluetooth menu icon on and off doesn't help. I wonder which preference file we can delete to reset the menu icon positions and visibility.

"Share" word has disappeared from menu bar - can't burn DVD

I know I burned a DVD in the distant past by clicking on "Share - burn DVD" in the menu bar but the word "Share" seems to have disappeared from my menu bar. I upgraded from iPhoto 5 to 6 (I think). What happened to the "Share" word and how do I get it back? If I reinstall from my original discs, won't I get the iPhoto 5 version?? Will my recent photos disappear?? Thanks for any help.

When you're in iPhoto go to the iPhoto menu in the upper left hand corner of the menu bar and select About iPhoto. That will give you the version of iPhoto you have.
If you tried to run an iPhoto 6 updater on iPHoto 5 that may be the reason you're having trouble with iPhoto. Check the version and post back.
If you have iPhoto 6 then go to the View->Show in Tool Bar menu option and see if what you want is checked or unchecked. Those items will show up in the bottom tool bar.
Do you Twango?

Airport icon disappeared from menu bar

For one of my two Users, the Airport icon disappeared from the menu bar. Now I cannot turn Airport on or off. Internet Connect only shows the internal modem. Restarting the computer did not solve the problem.
It has worked well until yesterday, all of a sudden the icon was gone. Airport Admin does work, and it restarts the base station when I change something (I changed the password just to test this). So the hardware is working.
If I log on as a different user, the icon is there, and everything works as normal. It therefore seems to be a set-up problem at one of the users.
I would appreciate any help on this one.
Thanks in advance,
Maarten

Maarten,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Go to Apple -> System Preferences -> Network. Select the AirPort Entry from the list of Network Devices, and click the "Configure..." button.
If not already there, navigate to the "AirPort" tab, and check the "Show AirPort status in menu bar" checkbox at the bottom of the window.
This should put it back up there.
Let me know if you need more help.

Spotlight - disappeared from menu bar and constantly crashing

I think I need some urgent help here.
I have lost spotlight from the menu bar. Sometimes I have a blank space where the Icon should be but
then that disappears.
I try to launch an application but each time I get the spinning beach ball and the desktop goes off
the screen only to return a few seconds later and back to square one.
I am unable to access the logs because of the constant crashing
In the console a crash report is being written every 2-3 seconds which says EXC-BAD-ACCESS- (SIGBUS)
KERN-PROTECTION-FAILURE at 0x000000000 etc.
I have tried repairing permissions, repairing the disk, rebuilt the disk using DiskWarrior, restarting
and trying to replace spotlight with Time Machine all to no affect.
Can anyone offer some layman's advice or suggestions as how I can get out of this ?loop?
All help will be appreciated

Hello r:
You have already accomplished hat I would have suggested as possible fixes.
I think you have two choices:
1. Do a complete restore of your system from an older TM backup (when things were working).
2. Do an archive and install (That would be my first choice, with TM as a backup).

How Do I Make My Name Disappear From Menu Bar?

I use Mavericks OS X 10.9.3. How do I make my name disappear from the Menu Bar?

Or select to show the icon instead of your name in case you want to keep the ability to use FUS while gaining precious menu bar space.

Fast User names/menu disappear from menu bar

When I activate fast user switching, the name in the menu bar seems to disappear. Then when I go to Prefs to reactivate it (by unchecking then checking it again) it displays over the top of the Airport and Volume icons, at which time if I click it then to use it, it disappears completely again. The only way I seem to eb able to use FSW is to go back to login window with user list displayed and do it that way (hassle).

Hi Paul
This could be a corrupt preference file, specifically 'systemuiserver.plist'. But there are potentially two of them, so ...
In "/Users/<yourname>/Library/Preferences", delete com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
In "/Users/<yourname>/Library/Preferences/ByHost", delete com.apple.systemuiserver.xxx.plist where 'xxx' is a 12 digit (hexadecimal) numeric string.
Then log out and back in again. You may need to go to System Preferences to put back the menu items you need to display.
If this alone doesn't work, you may need to delete your caches, so repeat the above and then:
In "/Users/<yourname>/Library/Caches", delete everything
Let us know if this helps.

Airplay menulet has disappeared from menu bar. Specs: OS X 10.8.2; iMac Mid-2011. Anyone else having this issue? What was your fix?

Specs: OS X 10.8.2; iMac Mid-2011.
Anyone else having this issue? What wasyour fix?

Thanks for the reply, but I did a silly thing - or didn't do due diligence:
After updating my AppleTV its setting for Airplay was set to "off". I just reset it to "on" and all is well in my Airplay-world.
However, thanks to you, I now know how to getting to the Airplay settings - didn't know that before.

I have a new MacBook Air and have just installed Office 365. I would like to transfer the data I have in mac calendar and contacts to Outlook. Is this possible? If yes how.

Is there a way to get Outlook to sync to the calendar and then to my phone (iphone4)?
I also need the contact list to sync to the computer, but not ot my phone.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Yes I have received and answer. You cannot import your contacts or ical information into Outlook. You have to re-enter everything. It gets even worse.
With the newer Mac's, you cannot sync your iphone with Outlook. There use to be a way of doing this, but if you are running Yosemite, you cannot, so in
order to have the calendar information on your iphone and Outlook, you have to enter the information into both Outlook AND ical.

Everything is kind of "glitchy." Text doesn't type smoothly, nor can I scroll smoothly. What's going on?

It's also affecting Netflix anytime I try to stream stuff. It kind of skips (best way I can describe it). I tried reinstalling Firefox, and it worked for about a day, and now I have the problem again. Not sure what's causing it.
