Lost Open Internet Connection option for wireless on my tool bar

Does anyone know how I can bring back the Open Internet Connection option on my tool bar? I'm hoping if I can open that it will help me solve why I can't connect to the land line in my office. [email protected]

Open *System Preferences* and the choose Network. Pick Airport. At the bottom next to the Options button see if the *Show AirPort status in menu bar* is checked. Check it and it should pop back where it was.
If it's PPPoE click it and there will be a similar choice to show it in the menu bar.

Airport network connected on full bars but "no internet connection" and missing lock icon!

this is really frustrating!
I'm using wireless in my house. when i click on my network it connects and it shows perfect connection which is full bars.
on Network Preferences it says that i'm connected to the Airport but when i go to Safari it shows "You are not connected to the Internet" so i click on Network Diagnostic where the 3 network status on top has the green indicator but the ISP, Internet and Server show red and failed.
I don't think there's anything wrong with my internet connection since I'm able to go online using my sister's computer and also on my iPhone.
There's also usually a Lock icon/symbol next to my network's name but when i'm connected to my network the Lock icon seems to be missing but it still shows full bars connection. I really don't get how it's possible to be connected to a network, but no internet connection, while i can access the internet on other devices.
Please help me out here. I've tried ways like going to library>preferences then put the system configuration into Trash, and going to Network Preferences and removing the Airport service and creating a new one.
and one more thing. all mentioned above are when i clicked on Advanced on network preferences then i clicked on TCP/IP and changed the Configure IPv4 from Using DHCP to Manually. When i'm back to using DHCP there's an exclamation point over the airport icon on the top bar and it says no internet connection.

Got my own question answered by a colleague.
He had me create another "Location" in the network pane of System Preferences, then choose it and click Apply. I created a new location which I called 'Airport', chose it and clicked Apply and sure enough, an IP address showed up and all is well.
Justin said it's a network bug in Leopard.

Question: Internet Connect and its symbol in the menu bar

Hello,
I have set up "Internet Connect" to show its status in the Menu bar. When I am connected, I see the black/gray symbolic radio waves. I have noticed, that this icon is in company with a time counter, when my MAC gets the ip address via DHCP rather than having a static ip assigned.
On a "DHCP MAC", sometimes this time counter disappears for a moment and gets back after a couple of seconds. During this drop out, the icon with the radio waves remains unchanged which is usually "all black" as I have very good signal strength.
Does anybody know about the reason/cause for that drop out of displying the time counter? I really would like to know the technical background, as I found out that during those "time counter drop outs", my AirTunes music stream tends to be broken as well. Even though it seems that the signal is still OK (all radio waves in the symbol are black).
Thx for any hints on that!

Great, thank you also!
Also, on interference, through much testing, I find that even one signal can interfere with it's self by bouncing off different surfaces.

IPhone 5 gets error that no Internet connection is present when I have 3 bars on sprint and try to refresh mail

I have had my phone for 2 weeks now. Works fine on wifi for Internet so far, but when I am not on wifi, sometimes I get an error stating that it can't get email because there is no Data or internet connection, but I have 3-5 bars. Why would this be? I have sprint.
Also is there a way for the phone to fetch or have the entire email pushed to the phone? When I am off wifi, it seems like it is only downloading the header and it has to reconnect to the exchange server to get the rest, and it takes a while for a simple message.
Any help would be appreciated, this is my first iPhone.
Thx

Hi Yogiee
Exactly - in fact just after I posted I thought of the same solution - define a hosts entry for www.apple.com on my proxy server and download the really complicated 'success.html' file from apple. It certainly isn't rocket science.
So I have it working - iOS6 is completely fooled by my dummy 'success.html' file an is now working on my internet-less wifi network.
PS Just had the 2nd Telstra technician here checking the lines and connections... more adjustments and changed to different lines, and still no internet. It has to be something at the exchange end - it is ADSL syncing and receiving a dynamic IP, logging in and then about 6 seconds later the ADSL connection just drops out. The technician's modem (which doesn't login) remained connected without any problem. Not much chance of it being fixed in time for Christmas now - we've got less than 3 hours of work time left before everybody goes home to wait for the man in the red suit. And somehow I don't think Santa will be able to deliver me internet for Christmas.... (sigh)

.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?
Message was edited by: kinderco

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

HT1146 missing task bar icon for adding attachments , and it is not in the customize task bar icons, where could it have gone?

I am missing the icon on my taskbar in mail for sending attachments, and it is not in the customize taskbar part of my mail program. Where did it go, or how do I restore it since it is missing??
Thx,
Yellowchevy66

"The top of the screen" is called the menu bar. It changes, and is based on whichever application is currently selected.
In Mail.app, the attach icon is the paperclip icon that shows in the default icon set of the so-called compse window; when you have requested the creation of a new mail message, or the creation of a reply. In the compose window with the default icons, the attach button is the middle of the five leftmost buttons in the tool bar.
It's quite possible to hide the toolbar entirely (that's controlled from the same pop-up menu as the Customize Toolbar... or can be controlled from the View > Show Toolbar or View > Hide Toolbar within the Mail.app menubar.
To capture an image of the toolbar state (if it's not that the toolbar is hidden, or has been customized), then open Mail.app, create a new (empty) message, and to capture (just) the application display window, press the Command(⌘)-Shift-4 keys as a chord, the cursor will change to a reticule (a cross-hair), place the reticule over the mail application compose window, press the space bar (to highlight the window) and click. This will save a screen shot of just the specified application window into a Screen Shot file (the rest of the name will be the date and time of the screen shot) on your desktop.
Inferring from your references and the terms you are using here, it would appear you might be unfamiliar with OS X and -- if that's the case -- then there's the available Apple Mac 101 introduction that might help clarify the environment.

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.
