Bootcamp tray icon missing win7 64bit

I am using mavericks 10.9.2 with bootcamp and win7 ultimate 64bit, after windows update the driver, the system tray icon for bootcamp is not there anymore.
I just go to control panel and click bootcamp to choose osx again.
but how can i fix the tray icon again in taskbar.
thanks.

Disclaimer: I work for the people that make MacDrive.
MacDrive is designed to reactivate on the same computer provided there are not a significant number of hardware and OS changes. It's very comparable to Windows XP/Vista...if you're reinstalling the same OS on the same system, and you don't want to be bothered with uninstalling first, then the software will reactivate without any help from our support staff, or any preventative action on your end (e.g. uninstalling).
In the event you are constantly changing operating systems (and/or hardware), and you don't want to be bothered by the self-help option of uninstalling before you wipe the computer, then you can always turn to our extremely effective and responsive support staff. We guarantee a same day response during the week (average response time is less than an hour). That level of response time ensures that even if you buy a brand new computer on the weekend...you can use the software in trial mode until we're able to assist you during the week.
I genuinely appreciate the criticism...I just want to ensure that everyone reading this thread gets the facts.
To the original poster, I'm very appreciative of you bringing this up. What version of the Boot Camp drivers do you have installed on your MacBook Pro? I've been trying to replicate what you're describing on my MacBook Pro (admittedly, an older model) without success thus far.

[SOLVED] Spacing between start menu and tray icons lost

Hi,
I am using KDEmod + Arch
After todays upgrade, spacing between start menu at the left and tray icons at the right lost making the tray icons align to the left side of the tray. An X mark in a red box appeared in between on mouse hover, shows the message that : Unable to load the widget, could not find the requested component: stasks.
A screen shot is here:

What is to be done to rectify it?

Long:
You're using the stasks plasma widget, which likely just needs to be recompiled for kde 4.3.3, as it was just upgraded from 4.3.2 in Arch's Extra repository and I imagine the same applies to KDEMod.
pacman -Q | grep stask will likely show you what the stasks plasma widget is called.
If it's a kdemod package or returns nothing (meaning stasks is in some other plasma applet package, perhaps kdemod-plasma-applets or something.. pacman -Q | grep plasm would show all such packages with 'plasma' in the name), you'll need to recompile it with ABS or just post on the KDEMod forum and wait for them to update it. If you haven't rebooted since upgrading, there's sometimes something out of my ability to explain which causes KDE stuff not to show up / work properly even after running 'kbuildsycoca4' or 'kbuildsycoca' or killing and restarting kdm until said reboot.
The two stasks plasmoids I see in the arch user repository are "stasks-manager-plasmoid" (which you're likely using) and "plasma-stasks-patched-plasmoid-hg". If pacman -Q | grep stask shows one of those, simply recompile it via yaourt -S name_of_the_widget, and you should be good to go on logout/in or reboot or what have you.
Short:
Run in konsole: pacman -Q | grep stask
If it shows something with "kdemod" in the name or returns nothing, you should probably post a bug report with the KDEMod/Chakra guys at chakra-project.org (bug tracker is currently down, use the forums). If it shows "stasks-manager-plasmoid" or "plasma-stasks-patched-plasmoid-hg", recompile it via yaourt -S name_of_the_package and log out/in (or reboot if necessary.. it shouldn't be though).

Lost Tray Icons

Hi,
I have had my iPad for a while now. Every so often I loose everything in the tray. I am not clear on how this occurs. I can search for the apps, for example Safari, and its still installed however it goes missing and its not relocated to a folder or any other location, it just goes missing. As a matter of fact ALL the icons in the tray seem to vanish at the same time. The only way I have found to resolve this is to reset the home screen which in turns blows away all my folders. So far this has happened about 6 times. At this point I am about ready to just stop using the device because of this. Its a huge pain to restore all my apps back to folders. While this is my first post in the apple forums I have asked this same question on other forums and searched for some time on the web and found no other instances of this. I have found folks that lost 1 icon , such as the app store icon, but never ALL the tray icons. If this is the result of something I am doing wrong I would love to know what that is. Also is there a way to resolve this without doing a reset on the home screen?
Thanks
Chris

This is a common issue with jailbroken iPads (found that out using a tool called Google). I'm going to assume yours isn't jailbroken, though, and say that you should try a reset (Hold down Sleep and Home buttons until the Apple logo appears on screen), and see if this fixes it.

How do I get firefox 3.5 back? Firefox 4 can't find yahoo.mail URL. Using your suggestions has caused me to loose my system tray icons and printers from my computer altogether and my system restore will no longer work either.

Firefox 4.0 cannot find the Yahoo mail URL. Working with the Verizon tech we were able to get Internet Explorer to finaly find the yahoo mail web site. But not luck with Firefox 4.0 .
Since trying your suggestions to make firefox 4 find the Yahoo mail URL. I have noticed that all of my system tray icons except the Panda anti virus and volume control icons have disapeared. My system restore will not restore and printers are gone altogether. How do I get the old firefox and all i've lost back.

Still cannot fix it to get Yahoo e-mail. This what I get now from Ff3.5 now.
Sorry, we can't find "http://us.mc1121.mail.yahoo.com/mc/welcome". Please check the spelling of the web address.
From Ff4 it can't find the " URL proxy server" on it's server???
Have tried most every solutions/suggestion I could find have my computer just keeps getting worse. Where do I find the 4 solutions you mention here to see if I have not already tried them? I don't see or know where to go to find these solutions??? Can anyone help me find the fix???

Proper tray icon iconify/bring to front behavior

Hi, I have a small but annoying problem with JDIC tray icons and JFrame. Maybe there's some really simple solution for this but I can't see it.
My app has one JFrame and a TrayIcon for it. Currently, a click to tray icon iconifies the frame when it's visible, and a click to tray deiconifies the frame when it's iconified. Simple enough, but my problem comes when I try to make the behavior a little more user-friendly: when the frame is visible, a click to to tray should bring it to the front IF it's not the topmost window - and iconify only when it's the topmost window.
The problem is, that when I click the tray icon - the JFrame loses it's focus and my code just always brings the frame on top.
Here's my code (Workbench contains a JFrame):
tray.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
               public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                    Workbench workbench = app.getWorkbench();
                    if (workbench.isIconified()) {
                         if (!workbench.isVisible()) {
                              workbench.setVisible(true);
                         workbench.deiconify();
                         workbench.toFront();
                    } else {
// here's the problem
                         if (workbench.isFocused()) {
                              workbench.iconify();
                         } else {
                              workbench.toFront();
          });I thought about somekind of timer hack, that would check the time since the frame lost focus and compare it to current time when I press the tray icon, but that's an ugly solution - and some users might hold the button down longer than others.
Another would be to ask the topmost OS window with JNI (afaik. there is no such method in Java?)
btw. I just tried how mIRC does this, and it seems to get stuck to the "toFront()-state" too, when I set some another window to an "always-on-top"-mode. So I guess it's not the most ideal solution to ask the OS for the topmost window - but that would still do it for me.
Anyone have other ideas ?

I am very interested in implementing just such a thing with my Java application. I am in the starting phases of this project and ran across your post in my search for info.
How much do you already have implemented? I.E., can you display the icon but are just having trouble catching the events for when the icon is clicked? Or do you not even have the ability to display the icon yet? I have found the Windows documentation on the MSDN site for the shell function Shell_NotifyIcon(), which is what we want to use but I have not begun any attempts to use it yet.
If you (or anyone else) have any info or have had any success at all with this yet, I would be very interested in hearing how it works. I'll be happy to share any info I find, when/if I get that far.
Thanks,

Tray icon missing after 3.0 driver install?

After installing the latest boot camp drivers, my boot camp tray icon has gone missing. Anyone else see this phenomenon? Is there any other way to access the boot camp options in Windows?
Edit: reinstalled and the icon appears
Message was edited by: jefisher

This is a stupid windows problem and often occurs if you install Browser based VNC software or use the Bootcamp partition within Parallels or Fusion.
These applications(programs) create their own Special Profiles and at the same time modify the items visible in the Task Bar Tray.
One of the victims is always the Bootcamp switcher.
By the way whats worse is at the same time they can disable the media keys on Apples Wireless Keyboards.
When you switch to Windows it may well boot to the wrong profiles.
On occasion rebooting Windows may actually load the correct profile with the tray icon.(This is however random in my experience)
Worse still if you have to restart Windows in some circumstances it will generate a further set of Profiles.
As a starting point and not foolproof whilst in windows
Right Click My Computer/Computer
Click on the Advanced Tab in System Properties and the setting radio button on under user profiles and see how many profiles are set.
Now delete any multiple and unidentifiable profiles.
Now reboot your Mac within windows and it might just load the base Try items including the Bootcamp switcher.

Viber no tray icon

I've lost my viber try icon since maybe 2-3 week after update
also main app window doesn't show up when double clicking the "icon".
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks

Qt5 5.4.0 has problem with tray icons, it's broken presently and I don't know when and if this will be fixed.
It seems there is not much love for tray icons nowadays with developers, I don't know why.
The only way I see at this time is to use Qt4.
You should report this to the Viber developers, and see if a Qt4 version of this appli may be built.
Report it also to the AUR package maintainer.

Can't mount Time Capsule on PC (white system tray icon no longer there)

My new time capsule is working perfectly on my MacBookPro, however recently I tried to get it to work on my PC laptop. I easily got the wireless internet work on the PC, that's not a problem. I installed the airport utility on my PC and it was able to recognize it through the airport utility interface/configuring window where I could change settings, etc., just like I could on my Mac. There used to be (on my PC) this white icon in my system tray on the lower right of my screen. When I clicked on this I could type my password, as prompted, and mount to the time capsule, which I could now see in My Computer as a drive. I tested a few files by dragging them over into the drive, and it worked fine. Now, a week later the icon in the system tray has disappeared, and I can no longer see the time capsule on my PC in My Computer. I can still click on the airport utility icon in my programs and see/change settings in my time capsule from my PC, but cannot see nor access the drive from My Computer (or mount by clicking on this now missing icon). Anyone else know what I can do? Thanks in advance!

I was just having this problem and figured out that the white system tray icon is the Airport Base Station Agent. It wasn't running for me for some reason, too, but I found it and started it back up again at C:\Program Files\AirPort\APAgent.exe.
Here's an Apple Support article (it's a little old) I found that discusses drive mapping in windows with the Airport Base Station Agent: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1331
Hope this helps.

Little question about a Claws-Mail tray icon theme, and how to use it.

There is a Claws Mail tray icon theme available on gnome-look.org:
http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/ … tent=71540
These are the instructions the author gives to install the theme:
Claws Mail Tango trayicon theme
Claws-Mail version = 3.3.0
copy icons claws-mail-3.3-0/src/pixmaps, recompile and install.
So what am I supposed to do (especially since the newest Claws Mail version is 3.4.0...)?

I would recommend using ABS. just makepkg -o first so the sources get DL'd and unpacked. copy your icons and makepkg -e so the sources are not extracted again and therefore your new icons overwitten.
finally, enjoy some awesomeness:

Need to Lock down Keyboard Manager System Tray Icon

I run 27 MacBooks at a Secondary School. I have them setup for Windows XP Pro (I'll be setting up the Mac OS over then next few weeks but this is a MS Windows School so lets start slow). Hoever I need to be able to disable the "Boot Mac OS" option on the Keyboard Manager. But still have access to Volume and Eject etc Keys.
Solution: 1
a .adm file so that I can contol what is avilable to students through Group Policy (disable reboot in Mac, Disable Boot Camp First time Run Help Screen)
Solution 2
A Keyboard driver that will make all the Keys work (and remote if possible) but has no System tray Icon
Solution 3
Hide the System tray icon (as say an option in the Boot Camp Control Panel which I can already disable through group policy) then all I need to kill is the anoying first time run help screen.
The help screen is anoying because for each of the 800 student will probably only login into each laptop once each so that will come up every time, because I reimage every 3 months or so.
The reboot in Mac OS would be no problem if it did not perminatly change to boot order and the Mac OS side boot change back is too complicated for most first time Mac users. The way I will be introducing the Mac OS is telling them about the hold the "option" key trick on boot. hence the dummys will get what they are expecting, and the smarties have the option without afecting the dummys.
I relise this is a Devolopers thing but I can find no other way to inform them of the need. I dout I am the only System admin needing this.
Thank You

Unfortunately no that did not help
Using msconfig only stops the Keyboard Manager from running. I can do that simply be removing it from the registry with out the annoying msconfig messages. (good for testing though)
I have also looked into the Hide tray Icon Path but that only tucks it behind a set of “<<”
And the reboot function does Permanently Change the Boot Order. (Not the boot sector necessarily, The Boot Order) to change it back you need to login into the Mac OS and System Prefs Disk Boot Select the Boot Camp Part and Reboot …… Big Pain in neck.
The Keyboard Manager icon does not have an eject option… If is needed for the Eject Key to work (and the Volume Mute, Up, Down, Brightness Up, Down. Note it is not Needed for the Play FF Rew Keys they work fine with the Fn Key)
Here is the test
With no icon showing, or an icon with no reboot option : Press The Eject Key if the CD Ejects Success, I also need Volume do not care about the others as much
As Stated this is a Developer( Programmer) oversite and needs them to put in an option to remove the reboot option from the System tray Icon. Removal of the Icon would also be desirable
Thank You

Access Connection Tray Icon disappear

Hi, I got a problem on a T61p model 8889-AB5 owned by my boss. The ThinkVantage Access Connections tray icon was disappeared occasionally. It is noticed that below registry keys were missed and I needed to add them back to get the tray icon displayed.ACTray=C:\\Program Files\\ThinkPad\\ConnectUtilities\\ACTray.exeACWLIcon="C:\\Program Files\\ThinkPad\\ConnectUtilities\\ACWLIcon.exe This T61p hardware was checked by Lenovo service center on July 2008; no problem was found and the Win XPP was reinstalled from recovery CD afterward. Does anyone encounter similar problem? Thanks, Eric

And still no improvements in version 6.11!
Can we expect a fix for this?

Help I have 'lost' my downloads icon from the dock. Can I retrieve it? If so please describe how, using simple terms

Help I have 'lost' my downloads icon from the dock on my desktop Mac. Can I retrieve it? If so please describe how, using simple terms. I have tried searching folders, finder and trash

Your Downloads folder should be in your Home folder. Just drag it to the Dock.
If you've managed to delete it, try creating a new folder called 'Downloads'. You will probably need to nominate it in Safari or any other browser preferences as your download destination. (Safari Preferences>General, 'Save downloaded items to:' menu)

Sometimes Tray Icon not loaded correctly

I am trying to make my (html/ajax) website available as a desktop application, (with little enhancements like notifications in the background etc.) without writing any extra code. Everything works fine except the tray icon. Sometimes the tray icon is not loading correctly.
Following is the structure of my sample air application.
1. An html page(page1.html) i am using as my inital window.
It creates an invisible html window and loads a new page (page2.html) as below.
        var options = new air.NativeWindowInitOptions();
        options.systemChrome = "standard";
        var windowBounds = new air.Rectangle(200,250,300,400);
        newHTMLLoader = air.HTMLLoader.createRootWindow(false, options, false, windowBounds);
        newHTMLLoader.window.mainAppWindow = window;
        newHTMLLoader.load(new air.URLRequest("page2.html"));
and later redirecting to the website.
2. I am using this invisible html window to control the application behavior (like sending ajax requests in the background, monitoring network, checking for updates etc.)
page2.html contains code to load the tray icon for the application.
Here is javascript the code in page2.html
function BgWindow(){
        this.init = function(){
            this.loadTrayIcon();
        var iconLoadComplete = function(event){
            air.NativeApplication.nativeApplication.icon.bitmaps = [event.target.content.bitmapData];
        this.loadTrayIcon = function() {
            air.NativeApplication.nativeApplication.autoExit = true;
            var iconLoad = new air.Loader();
            if (air.NativeApplication.supportsSystemTrayIcon) {
                iconLoad.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(air.Event.COMPLETE,iconLoadComplete);
                iconLoad.load(new air.URLRequest("lmt16.png"));
    window.onload = function(){
        bgWindow = new BgWindow();
        bgWindow.init();
But the problem here is, sometimes the icon is loaded correctly but sometimes its not loaded.
What am I missing here ?
Any help is appreciated.
I am attaching the complete application if somebody needs to analyze it.

Sorry. Your attachment didn't come through. It triggered an error message about a "malformed container violation." Please try to rezip it and try it again.
