Lost WWAN status Icon

I just installed the Verizon wireless VZAccess Manager and found out that I lost the OS X status icon in the menu bar. I removed the VZAccess program, but I did not get the WWAN Status Icon back, any thoughts.
Thanks

Same problem. I loved having the WWAN icon on my menu bar with my wireless card but when I reinstalled my Verizon VZAccess Manager software it disappeared.
I've spent hours with Verizon and Apple tech support but no one can help me get my icon back onto the menu bar. No solution. Frustrating. I wish I never reinstalled my software.
Note: I know you can go to: System Preferences - Network - AirPort - Show AirPort status in menu bar HOWEVER that is different from the WWAN status that we want to see. Logically there should the same option saying "Show WWAN status in menu bar" under the network choices or in the VZAccess software but... no option is given. Bummer!

Lost WWAN status Icon Verizon

There's an existing locked thread on this topic, but the fix didn't completely work for me:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8646292
So I thought I'd add to the discussion with my fix.
1. After the last step in the above thread.
2. Select: System Preferences / Network
3. Unlock (press the padlock, login)
4. Select Novatel Adapter
5. Press the MINUS button at the bottom of the list.
6. Delete Novatel Adapter
7. Reboot
8. insert card
9. Select: System Preferences / Network
10. Press the ADD button at the bottom of the list.
11. Login info appears, select "Show WWAN Status"
You're all set. And remember, if you call Verizon, tell them you ARE using the VZ Access Manager. They won't support you if say "I don't need your bloatware"

AirPort status icon lost/gone.....

I am so frustrated. I cannot get my AirPort status icon to appear on my dock even with the "Show AirPort status in menu bar" clicked.
What am I doing wrong? And what can I do to remedy this situation???

NVgirl,
you might try unchecking the option to show airport status in menu bar, quit out of system preferences, then go back in and re-check the option. Sometimes the setting in the property lists isn't updated properly but I find that if I change it to something else, quit the program, and then change it back it will sometimes fix the issue.
If that doesn't work, might try going to ~/library/preferences/ and deleting com.apple.systempreferences.plist. After that, restart the computer and try re-checking the option.
Let us know if none of that works

Lost my Camera icon app

Hello. Need some help. Somehow I lost the Camera icon and already did the following:
Restored Settings
Review restricted status (unblocked)
Double tab the Home button
And nothing :(
Another suggestion you may have??

Hi Jazzyjaz,
First go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout
If that doesn't work:
Reset your device. Hold down the Home and Sleep buttons at the same time until the silver Apple appears on the screen (ignore the red slider bar if it appears).
If that doesn't make it show up, do a spotlight search - swipe to the right from the first Home screen, and type Camera in the search window - that will show you that it is there somewhere. Go through all of your home screen pages - it should show up on one of them (may have gotten moved accidently).
You can't actually delete it, so it is just a matter of finding out where it went!
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
GB

Status icons in menu bar flickering

Since installing Mac OS X 10.7.2 on my 15" MacBook Pro (early 2011), the status icons in de menu bar are constantly flickering.
This is a video of the icons flickering: http://tinypic.com/r/314qopc/7 .
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Simon.

I'm having the same problem.
The only way to stop the flickering is to:
Go to spotlight in system preferences.
Click on Privacy
Click the "+" button
select Your hard drive from the drop down menu
This should stop the flickering but it does mean you can't search in spotlight. I've also found that if you try and use the dictionary the dictionry app will crash. Also if you 3 finger tap a word in safari to define it safari will also crash. But it is a temperary solution for the flickering.
Hope this helps

How to disable the status icon in Skype 4 for Andr...

Dear Skypers,
How to disable the status icon in Skype 4 for Android phones?
The guide on this following support page not working anymore: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12359/how-do-i-enable-or-disable-the-status-icon-in-skype-4-for-a...
Older version has the option to disable Skype Status and get rid of the Skype icon on Android status bar. But latest 4.4.0.31835 could not disable Skype Status in notifications settings. :/
Device: Google Nexus 4
Android: 4.3 JWR66Y
Skype: 4.4.0.31835
Please bring back the option to disable the Skype icon on Android status bar. This is the main reason I uninstall Skype. :/
Kudos to the team, the apps is really smooth and fluid to use. Would be nice if you guys are following the Android Design Principles and using Google Cloud Messaging for push notification to improve User Experience and battery life.
Kind regards,
/chrone
everytime i get ahead, i feel more dead.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

how to get rid of skype icon on android status bar.png ‏46 KB

Long click on this notification a sub menu having field "App info" would appear goto App Info. You can goto there by "Manage Apps">"Skype" also.
Uncheck Option "Show Notifications" A dialog will open. Don't worry about notifications for now just click OK. Now the notification icon skype has also been removed.
Now simply check "Show notification again". After doing this you would get notifications but skype icon would not be shown in the status bar anymore.
Issue: this is just a trick you need to repeat this every time sign out and sign in again. Mostly you don't do that so no need to worry.

Bluetooth status icon in the wrong place?

Well I turn on the MacBook Pro this morning to find that the bluetooth status icon is now between the clock and spotlight. Usually it was next to the airport status icon. On my old powerbook it was always next to the airport status icon. So i thought it was just some simple glitch and I restarted the laptop to find that it is still in the same place next to spotlight. I know it may sound odd but its bothering and looks really odd. Is there something wrong with it? Anyone have this same problem? Thanks I've only had my MacBook Pro for 3 days, there have been so many problems I have been running into with it(ie. opening photobooth yields a green screen at first, won't connect to my wireless network, itunes takes forever to open resulting in front row to lag and freeze, etc.) and I have already installed all the updates. If anyone has any insight to my other problems please let me know.

What ever Icon you add to the file bar will always go to the very left of the other icons. So if you want it to be on the very left then all you have to do is turn off any other icons in your system preferences then after the blooth is where you want it, put the others back on the left side of it. Or if you just want it at the Very left side, simply go into system preferences in the bluetooth icon, and uncheck the "show in menubar" box, then recheck it to send it to the very left side.
As for a glitchy macbook Pro, I had similar problems when I first received mine, but after a clean install of the OS and reformat of the harddrive things were much smoothe. And by the way, remember that BootCamp is still a Beta software and could cause glitches, or not work properly.
Unless you already have tons of important stuff on your MBP, I would do a clean reformat first off.

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)

Airport status icon blinking in menu

My MacBook's Airport status icon in the menu bar blinks periodically, losing then recapturing wireless access. Very annoying. Obviously I can't download anything while it's blinking. And this appears to be when I'm connecting to my Airport extreme wireless N at home as well as my Dlink wireless N at work.... but connecting to a slower G router does not appear to cause this. Any ideas?

I am having a very similar problem. Did you find any fixes for this?
I have a snow base station and have no problems connecting to it with a clamshell iBook running OS X. But with my PowerBook G4, whenever I turn Airport on and try to access the base station, the airport status icon constantly flashes, almost like a pulse.
Today I took my PowerBook to a hot spot, and Airport worked great, so I know that my card is fine.
One thing I'm wondering about -- what firmware are you using on your base station? I currently have 4.0.4, so it's possible that upgrading to 4.0.9 will solve this problem. I'm reluctant for the moment to try the firmware upgrade because the clamshell iBook connects to the snow base station so smoothly. I don't want to mess up one set-up while trying to fix another.
I'll check back in case you have new information, including (I hope) a fix for this.

Why is AirPlay status icon missing from menu bar?

After updating to Mavericks and installing/configuring a new AirPort Time Capsule (APTC), no AirPlay icon was present in the menu bar of my Mac. I updated my Apple TV3 software and configured it to the new APTC network. An AirPlay status icon appeared in the menu bar for about 1 day only, and then disappeared. In the Apple TV settings, AirPlay is "On". On my Mac>System Preferences>Displays>Display>AirPlay Display menu (lower left) shows a greyed-out "No devices detected". My AppleTV light is on. Is there a known problem with APTC, or am I missing something?

Cycle power on all of your devices (turn On first your 3rd party router then Time Capsule, then mbp and apple tv). Make sure that your MBP and Apple TV are connected to the same network.
When router mode settings on Time Capsule are set to Bridge Mode, then router is resposible for distributing settings to all of your devices and could have some issues with it. Simply cycling power might resolve your problem.
Some routers might require to be off for a bit longer (up to even 10mins). Try it.

Flashing/Blinking Airport Status Icon

Hello Everybody
I hope you can help me. After clicking my university's wireless network name and entering the WEP password, the signal icon flashes with five bars before going dead/blinking for a few seconds and then appearing to have no signal - very unusual. I have spent a lot of time trying to fix this with our IT experts with no success. We rebooted the computer on a different HD and the same thing happened which led us to believe it was a problem with the Airport card and not the software. However, when I go on various other wireless networks, I can surf the web with full signal so the card appears to be fine. Obviously, I don't want to send it off to the workshop unless I'm sure it's a hardware problem since I will be charged for diagnostics if they don't find a problem with the card
Thanking you in anticipation of a favorable response to my query,
Jack

Since updating to version 8.0.1 many websites have lost their identity icon.

In the address bar and Bookmarks a lot of web sites have lost their identity icon in Firefox 8.0.1 (which were there before). Holding the cursor over the icon area brings up a message saying 'this site does not supply identity information'. But this message also comes up when putting the cursor over one ''with'' an icon. Some sites have the icon in Bookmarks but it doesn't show in the address bar. I have found it does not happen on Vista laptop, only on Windows 7 desktop.

Hi. I think there are two different things going on here. The "identify information" message relates to something unrelated to the webicon. From what I can tell it has to do with digital signing. I had to do some browsing before I found a site that actually ''was'' signed: Google. When you go to Google you'll see the site name to the right of the webicon with the url afterward. Holding cursor over it shows google.com's signed by Thawte Consulting. Oddly enough, VeriSign is not...um...verified. The story on this one will be interesting.
As far as the webicon goes, if you provide links to a few sites that don't work I'd be glad to take a look. I haven't had the problem yet on Lion or Win 7 Pro, but that doesn't mean anything. It could be the way the icon is identified or its filetype: .ico and .png files can be used (maybe others) and there are different ways to identify them: link rel="shortcut icon" or "icon" and type="image/x-icon" or "image/png" if a png file's used. Could be 8.01 no longer recognizes one of these or incorrectly stated ones it was OK with in the earlier release. All guesses of course w/o having something to look into.
