.mac sync icon in tool bar....

I installed leopard and everything was fine and dandy. I've never used .mac as it has no value for me. Suddenly yesterday somehow the sync icon for syncing .mac with my computer ended up in my tool bar in the top right. The icon is next to the spaces icon. I can't figure out for the life of me how to get rid of that stinkin icon. Any suggestions?

This is not an answer... I just really hope someone has an answer to this because I'm having the same problem and it's really annoying. My boyfriend installed Leopard at the same time and he doesn't have the icon showing up, so it obviously doesn't HAVE the be there. Opening up the preferences just asks me to sign in to my .mac account.

.mac sync icon won't go away!

Unexpectedly at the bar on the top of the screen, I get a ".mac sync" icon. I do not have a .mac account, and never had. I believe this icon showed up after I installed the latest Safari update, but I'm not certain. When I go to preferences, it simply tells me that I don't have a .mac account (my .mac member name or password is missing it says) so I can't remove the icon from the bar on top.
Anybody know how I can get that .mac sync icon at the top of my screen to go away?

Me, too. In fact I still have a few winder boxes lying around and also run winders on all three of my Macs. But most of the time, it's my new, pet MBP 17".
I have learned a tremendous amount about Macs from these forums. There are many very smart and knowledgeable people around here, and most of the time someone has the right answer to a problem.

Can't get rid of sync icon in menu bar

I just sold this powerbook to a friend and I'm having problems getting rid of my identity for her.
1) I can't get rid of the sync icon in the menu bar (or whatever it's called)
2) I can't get to the place in the system preferences where this is enabled because I have removed my .Mac identity from this system
3) Even though the system no longer has a .Mac identity it still seems to want to sync
4) I removed all of my contacts and groups from my address book, but each time I restart the system they all come back.

Hold down the CMD key and drag the sync icon off the menu bar.
If you're selling a computer to someone else, you should sell it in the state you bought it. So just re-install the original OS from the original disks provided with the computer. That will wipe any of your personal info, including all the stuff you don't know where it is.

MacBook Pro no icons or tool bar just a blank screen.

My MacBook Pro was dead for a few months. When I got new charger for it took a long time to start up a grey screen with bar across the bottom it came on with the main blue pink starry sky. It has no tool bar no icons my background picture is gone. When it was working sometimes the date and time would set back to a date in the past too. Anyone know what might be going on?

Have you tried another reboot.
Run repair disk , Repair permissions, from your Installation Disk that shipped with your Mac
Reset SMC http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
Reset PRAM http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379

Hide icons on tool bar in xp

Not sure where to post this or for that matter how to post it. I'm running a mac/intel tower. I've used bootcamp since the beginning. I'm using leopard and xp pro while in doz.I've updated to Bootcamp2.1. The wierd deal is the little arrow thingy in the windows tool bar does not appear. That the little deal that hides icons on the right side of the tool bar. How do I make it active again ? I've been to properties and done what I think I can there. Not at all sure what's going on. Any help out there ?
Thanks

Joe:
Yep I had seen that you had stated that you had checked on Properties however I wasn't sure which exact properties since there are so many and wanted to ensure that you didn't miss the obvious. And you didn't.
Also the icons will not hide unless the OS deems it/them inactive after some time. You can however try the following:
1.Right click on the taskbar and click on properties.
2. Then go to the notification tab.
3. Then click on customize
4. Choose which system tray icons you want to hide and then in front of it click and select the "hide always" option from the drop down menu.
If you use the "Always Hide" option and if it hides an icon then you will know that windows has yet to determine which icons are inactive to hide them. Once in a while, due to a bad boot etc, windows system tray forgets the inactive icons list and starts from scratch.
Let me know how it goes.

Hide .mac status icon from menu bar - how do I do it?

Title says it all.
I want to hide the .mac status icon from the menu bar but can't seem to find a setting anywhere.
Anyone got any ideas/
Thanks
Marc

Hi MarcMc,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
To remove the .Mac sync status indicator from the menu bar, open System Preferences > .Mac, click the Sync tab and uncheck the 'Show status in menu bar' checkbox.
To remove the iChat status indicator from the menu bar, open iChat's preferences and uncheck the 'Show status in menu bar' checkbox in the General pane.
Most menu bar icons can also be removed by holding down the Command (Apple) key and dragging them away from the menu bar.

Missing: Outline & Full Page Icons in Tool Bar

The Tutorials show three Icons in a row at top left of tool bar: "View"Icon then "Full Page" Icon and then "Outline" Icon.
Instead I have the old "08 format" of View Icon then "Section" Icon (which is now in a new location).
Did they change the design after the tutorials were written or is there come kind of problem with my version?

Just an explanation why you needed to do what Yvan said. Because Pages 4/iWork '09 will use your Pages 3/iWork '08 preferences, the toolbar you see will display the icons you set in '08. Only if you were still using the default toolbar would it update to the '09 toolbar.

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.

Where did bridge Icon on tool bar go?

Might seem like a petty thing, but I like the convenience of having the bridge icon on the tool bar. Why this was removed is beyond me. Yes, I know it can be found in the File/Browse in Bridge but it's all about workflow.

MB is now in the left corner on the bottom.
you may not see if you use a saved workspace from CS5.
i only mention that because i did search MB but did not see it because i switched to my saved CS5 workspace.

My start up disk is full safe mode shows no icons or tool bar. Please help

My start up disk is full and when I turn on the computer I get just a blue screen . I have restarted many times in safe mode however I do not get a tool bar or icons or anything ... Only wallpaper / background ... Nothing else. Please help

Your hard drive is too full. You need to delete some stuff. You should have at least around 10% of the total hard drive capacity free.
