My battery icon has disappeared from my menu bar at the top of the screen and the energy saver preferences simply says 'Could not load Energy Saver preference pane'

My battery icon randomly disappeared a few months ago from my menu bar and i have been unable to make it come back. After researching solutions online it soon became clear that all of the suggestions needed me to go into the energy saver preferences in the setting however the icon for the energy saver preferences is no longer there and whenever i click in the blank space where it used to be, it simply says 'Could not load Energy Saver preference pane'. As a result of this i never know how much battery i have left and so i just have to wait for the machine to die each time
The mac in question is a 13 inch 2012 macbook air that is running on OS Mavericks at the moment.
Any ideas on how to get the icon back?
- I recently discovered by accident that before i actually log into my account on my mac, when i am still on the page that contains the options of guest user etc. at that point the battery icon is displayed in the top right hand corner? Why is it that the icon exists there but not once i have logged it? Thankyou for any advice.

Nzdmalan the Adobe Creative Cloud application can be found in your Applications folder.  Are you able to access the application itself?  Is your computer managed by an I.T. department?

  • Blue Tooth has Disappeared from My Menu Bar

    So I turned on my PowerBook G4 today and for some reason, the blue tooth option in the menu bar has disappeared and I can't find any application in regards to blue tooth, except the blue tooth file sharing. It has also disappeared from the system preferences.
    In the hardware section of "About this Mac", it says for blue tooth, no information found.
    I didn't do any backup today nor did I move any applications around. How do I get my blue tooth back on the computer? I obviously can't use my BT mouse now.
    Any ideas what happened?

    My Lil' Powerbook did this to me several times about a year ago, I believe I reset the PMU and it cleared. I know it happened several times and I freaked out. The problem has not happened in over a year and I use my bluetooth mouse all the time.
    Point is something may have changed on my system that I do not remember doing such as an update.
    My suggestion is to reset the PMU, and check out the following two updates.
    Reset PMU:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1431
    Updates:
    For PPC (which you have)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL354
    Since you have 10.5.8
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL889
    My bluetooth firmware version is 2.1586 not sure how I got that, but I have the 12" Powerbook!
    If I were you I'd load both of the updates one at a time starting with the PPC 1.2.1 then the 2.0.1 for 10.5.8.

    Can we assume that your toolbar is perhaps an OS X feature?

  • The airplay icon has disappeared from my desk top. It was there two weeks ago, so I can't watch movies I've downloaded from iTunes and flick them over to my TV.

    The airplay icon has disappeared from my MAC desktop. It was there two weeks ago when I successfully used it to 'flick a movie i had purchased from iTunes over to my tv. Also, if I rent the movie through iTunes, why (because of the above issue) when I go to 'Purchased' it doesn't display as an option when actually using Apple TV, it doesn't display but when I go to rent it again a message comes up saying "you have already rented this movie, do you want to rent it again"? Frustrated!!

    Ok Fellas, let me give you a clue:  Games, particularly those that make heavy use of graphics and sound are notoriously power hungry.  In fact, when I was in the Navy many years ago, the folks working on the NTDS (Navy Tactical Data System)  computers used a version of Space Invaders to load test the AN/UYK-43 computers.
    I have also noticed that all of my laptops (I have a brand new Toshiba dual core, an older Toshiba single core, plus 2 Dell dual core machines) have significantly shorter battery life when I play Company of Heroes than when I am just reading e-mail or surfing the 'Net.  I have also noticed the same behavior when I play games on my 4th gen Touch and my iPhone 4.
    The fact is, iOS 5 did make some major improvements as well as adding some nice functionality like iMessage, wireless synch, and such, but the down side is that depending on how you use the device battery life can be shorter that what you may have experienced with pervious versions of iOS.  Its just the nature of the beast...
    We now return you to our regularly scheduled programming.....
    Oh John....  Oh Marsha.....

  • My app store icon has disappeared from my i-pod, how do i get it back?

    my app store icon has disappeared from my i-pod touch, does any one know how to get it back

    - Try using the Spotlig search. Maybe yu just can't find it.
    - Go to Settings>General>Restrictions. Maybe it is hidden by setting a restriction for it.
    - Do a reset. Nothing is lost.
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    The Youtube app was removed by Apple in iOS6.  You can use either the iPhone app from Youtube (free in the app store, but you've got to set it at 2x), or go to www.youtube.com in a Safari web browser.  You can also add the web page to your Home Screen using the share feature.  It will then operate just like an app.

    You cannot delete it.
    It is likely i a folder, or on another page.
    If you do not find it, then you can reset the home screen layout.
