Mirroring doesn't display in menu bar even with option checked

I have my late 2011 MacBookPro hooked up to an external monitor to extend my workspace at the office. I can go into Displays in the System Preferences and choose to mirror displays. When I check the option to "Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available", no menu bar option shows up. Worked perfectly fine pre-Mavericks.
How can I get the display menu bar options to display on this laptop?
Thanks

Have a look in:
[Your HD]/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/
for "Bluetooth.menu" and try double-clicking it.

AirPlay
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer).

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

You got me experimenting ... and it was viewing the display with the green button (rather than amber) on the left that revealed the menu bar. Hovering didn't do it. Thanks for your help. First time in Apple Support.

I have a 27" iMac with a 27" Cinema display. If I have Photoshop running on the cinema display, the menu bar is on the iMac. Is there any add on that I can install to make the menu bar follow the open app?

Look at SecondBar gives you a second menubar

Also see DejaMenu
Also see MenuEverywhere (Shareware)
And if you happen to have a Magic Trackpad, the SecondBar author has a very nice BetterTouchTool utility for creating Magic Trackpad gestures. I can not live with out BetterTouchTool on my 27" iMac with 24" external monitor.

Music levels from song to song still too varied-even with "sound check" on

Hi,
A friend bought an iPod in place of his CD player so he could shuffle lots of songs.
The song volumes are inconsistent from song to song... sometimes too soft, sometimes too loud... even with "sound check" on...
What is wrong? What should he try? It's worse than his CD player so he says...
Thanks in advance.

There are 3rd party programs that do this more effectively (at least in my opinion).
For Macs there is iVolume.
Also Macmp3Gain.

Mirror display no menu bar

Hello,
I have a mac mini with no thunderbolt port. I am using DVI to monitor and HDMI to HDTV for a mirror display. The TV does not show the menu bar at the top of the screen. The TV does not have any size adjustment options. The underscan option in system preference is greyed out. The menu bar does show on the monitor What do I need to do on the mac mini to get the menu bar to show on the TV?
Scott

With what is Happening, & I don't know why since I do not have the same equipment & circumstances, is to use Extended Displays & change the monitor that has the Menubar before they move one, another possibility if you can't get warning is to set up an Admin user for each Monitor situation.

AirPlay icon keeps appearing in menu bar even though no devices are available

I've been experiencing this issue on my 2014 MacBook Air ever since I upgraded to Yosemite.
The AirPlay icon will randomly pop up in the menu bar and when I click on it, there are no AirPlay devices detected (which means the icon should have never popped up in the first place).
The frequency in which this occurs appears to be completely random. Sometimes it will go a week or two between occurrences and other times it will pop up several times a day. Over the last week, it's been popping up every day (what finally prompted me to make this post).
I've tried disabling both wireless and Bluetooth when the icon appears and it doesn't seem to have any effect.
This is starting to get really annoying. There's always that little part of me that's worried about somebody seeing me type in my credit card info or something.
Anyway, has anybody else experienced this? If this is some sort of bug, is Apple aware of it? Is there any way to just disable AirPlay altogether?
Thanks

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Looking for a way to hide/collapse the display of menu bar items

I've searched the web but I cannot find any utilities that would allow me to hide the items on my menu bar, which is getting a bit cluttered. Particularly when some programs are running, if those programs have a certain number of drop down menus, the menus on the right hand side overlay some of the left side menu bar icons. It would be nice to be able to collapse & un-collapse the menu bar icons when desired.
Not really a problem on my PowerMac which has a 23" display, but moreso on my 15" MBP.

As an aside; if you need to keep several apps fairly close to hand without cluttering the menu bar or dock, create a folder within your Applications folder, and place aliases of the apps in there, then drag the folder to the dock below the divider (next to the trash). Right click on the folder in the dock to get a pop-up list to choose from. I use the same idea for frequently used files and games too (seperate folders)

Display Arrangement - Menu Bar

Hi!
I have recently upgraded to Lion and I am experiencing a problem with the External Monitor.
When I connect it reads ok and I have the external monitor as my main screen. However I can't use the other screen (MBP). When I go to Display > Arrangement the blue screens with the bar disappear. If I click Mirror Display they are both there and grouped but again when Mirro display is off there is no way to select which monitor should be the primary and the position of the screens.
How can I do? Third party softwares perhaps? Is this a bug? It wasn't the case with Snow Leopard!

Display Hide Menu Bar Button

Hi all,
We want to display / Hide or Unable to Click on Button of Menu bar on run time i.e. User select particular radio button on screen and menu bar button changes accordingly.
Any suggestions welcome.
Regards,

Hi Friend,
Take the function code of the buttons which you do not want to display. Pass into an internal table, code it like:
SET PF-STATUS <'PFXX'> EXCLUDING <INT TABLE NAME>
Please check the documentation for int table's type.

I upgraded from 3.6 and could not get the orange Firefox button but only a grey one with misaligned commands. When I hit View/Menu Bar even this button has vanished and the screen resembles 3.6

I use Win7 on a desktop PC. I upgraded Firefox 3.6 to 4.0. Where there should have been the orange firefox button was a grey button 'Firefox' with a small arrow. on clicking this the commands were there, but not properly aligned. There was also no minimise/maximise/exit buttons on the top right of the screen. I checked 'Help' and found no info. I then turned on View/Menu Bar. The minimise/maximise/exit buttons appeared; the grey button vanished and the screen now resembles FF 3.6. However About tells me that I am using 4.0.
BTW, I also tried various Beta versions in 2010 and abadnoned them because the same problem happened.

The orange Firefox menu button will only appear if the menu bar is hidden.<br />
Are you using a custom theme (Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes) ?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

Can't get Airport status back in menu bar (even by selecting the option)

The Airport status symbol has disappeared from my menu bar. Selecting the option in System Preferences or Internet Connect does not work and reverts back to being unselected when I go back and check.
My airport connection is still working, and I can still connect to the internet, but it's annoying if I want to turn Airport off.
Thanks!

Hi Squaxon, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Try trashing this file and reboot...

Menu Bar Problem with picture.

The right corner of my menu bar has vanished completely including spotlight, the date and time, and various system menu icons. Checking to add these icons in the preferences does not do anything. It is as if the menu bar is "extended" off the screen. I tried various things such as resetting the PRAM/NVRAM, SMC, deleting the com.apple.systemuiserver.plist, etc. I tried running disk utility and an archive install but I keep getting an error and can not continue. I even played around with the display settings. Here is a picture:

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

It's not a theme problem by the way.
