New icon in menu bar

Hi Everyone...
An icon I never noticed before has just appeared in the right side of the menu bar, just to the left of the battery and Bluetooth icons. It's a phone receiver over two rows of keyboard keys (4 in top row, 3 in bottom). Can't find any info about it anywhere--can anyone suggest what this icon might be? Thanks in advance.

It's TTY (telephony device for the hearing-impaired). Toggle it OFF in Settings > Phone > TTY.

Unwanted MobileMe icon in menu bar

This is what I did:
I went online and ordered a power adapter replacement for my iPhone. I was asked for my Mac Support username and pw.
Then, after doing so, the MobileMe icon suddenly appears on my menu bar. (I've never subscribed to this).
I then went to system prefs then MoblileMe (wanting to remove said icon from menu bar). I was told that I had changed my password and that I should type in my new one (?). I tried a few of my pw's (for the heck of it) to no avail. I'm now unable to get into MobileMe prefs and I seem to be stuck staring at this (ugly) icon. I checked my keychains, nothing.
(I did do the 6-month trial on .Mac when I got my MB last Feb. but I wasn't into it. The pw I had for that's not working either.)
Any suggestions?

This is the iSync forum. The MobileMe forums are here:

Anyway, an 'ugly' MobileMe icon in your menu bar? Do you mean the Sync icon, which looks like 2 arrows in a circular formation?
If so, to get rid of it just hold down the command key (to the left of the space bar) and drag it out of the menu bar.

No icons on menu bar

I previously had spotlight, time, language, ect. icons on the menu bar but now there is only the gmail icon. I tried clicking on the options of adding icons on menu bars, but it doesn't work. For example, i click "show time and date" and when i switch panes, it resets itself. Spotlight and others doesn't work either. So if anybody can help, I really appreciate it.

Hi, Dale —
Seems as if there've been a lot of folks lately who've encountered problems with SystemUIServer — the process that manages the right-hand side of the menu bar.
Troubleshooting this may require several rounds of interacting. For now, try these:
(1) Delete the preferences file ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist, restart, and reset as required in System Preferences
(2) Disable all "system enhancers" — including especially any 3rd-party Menu Extras — that you may have installed. Some of these may show up in System Preferences »» Other. In particular, disable or uninstall Application Enhancer (APE) if it's there.
Please post back to share your progress, and we'll take it from there
HTH!
Regards,
Dean

ITunes icon in menu bar

I was looking at a friend's Powerbook G4, he had an iTunes icon (rewind/play-pause/ff) icon in menu bar, next to clock etc.
I can't work out how that icon gets there.
Any clues please?
My iTunes is 5.0.1 (4)
btw - my friend has gone away, so can't ask him!

It' not an iTunes feature. Some 3rd party applications can put some items in the menubar.
Go to versiontracker.com and search for 'itunes menubar'.
You will find a few applications that can do what you have seen.

No airplay icon in menu bar

no airplay icon in menu bar (Apple tv 3, mavericks)

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You will see the AirPlay icon on the menu bar by two reasons:
1. Your computer is compatible with AirPlay Mirroring > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
2. Your computer has detected an Apple TV in the network.
If both things are done, you will see the AirPlay icon. You can see which Mac you have got in  > About this Mac > More Info. If your computer isn't compatible, you can use an application like Beamer or AirParrot

Time machine icon in menu bar doesn't spin anymore in Mavericks

On three separate machines, new iMac, MacBook Pro, and Air, menu bar Time Machine icon no longer spins when backing up.

Maybe it has to do with Maverick's memory/power usage techniques. By not having the Time Machine icon spin it save one processing and power. That's my uneducated guess.
I will say that I am not a fan of it either as it looks like the menu is stuck or has crashed rather than actually doing something. That is why I came here. It comes across as something being wrong.
It is not a very good icon or representation of what is going on. They could have at least moved the clock hands to another position or something.The small additional arrow is just not enough.
Cheers, Andrew.

Bluetooth, Airport, sound icons in Menu bar flashing

I just recently bought a new iMac and installed Leopard but I am having a problem with the Bluetooth, Airport and speaker icons on the menu bar, they keep flashing, and when I went into system preferences I found that each items checkbox to show in the menu bar was unchecked, and when I tried to check them they kept flashing to unchecked. I hope this doesn't sound too confusing, but it's driving me mad.

I don't know if this is going to help anyone, but I found this message after I encountered the very same problem. I had just upgraded to Leopard and everything was fine except the flashing Bluetooth, Sound and Login icons on the right hand right of the Finder menu. Also, the clock wasn't visible at all. As Kevwadd said, enabling these items in System Prefs did nothing, as they would uncheck themselves as soon as I checked them.
After trying just about everything, I decided to disconnect my external drives and hubs to see if it made any difference? Hey presto, when I disconnected one particular Lacie firewire drive, my menu items reappeared. The strange thing is that my Mac could read the data quite happily on the drive, but having it connected was definitely the cause of the problem. So I backed up the data on it and reformatted it. After that it's been fine.

Time Machine icon in menu bar

I believe there is a slight bug in the new OS X 10.9.
There is a icon in the menu bar for Time Machine and it is animated as a visual clue when a backup is in progress. It was working when I backed up my system prior to upgrading the OS, but when I backed up my system after the upgrade to OS X Mavericks it is no longer is animated during the backup. I am able to verify when Time Machine is actively backing up by opening Finder, but it was so much easier to glance at the menu bar. This a slight inconvenience rather operational error.

NOT a bug. New interface.

Send a "gripe" to Apple.
If enough people do, maybe (maybe) they'll change it.

Restart = no finder, no icons, no menu-bar, nothing

My computer froze when trying to eject a DVD of files that was burned. Had to force a restart, and when that happened, it was fine until I logged in. Then there was/is no finder, no menu bar, no icons, no ability to access anything within the computer. Any ideas on what this might be and how I might fix it? Have applecare, but wanted to check first before I dove into a lengthy phone wait and probably someone telling me I need to reinstall everything Any help appreciated. Thanks!

maybe your system files got corrupted, you could try to boot from OS CD and run "archive and install" - it will create new system folder.
make sure "preserve user and network settings" option is selected.

How to add script icon to menu bar?

On my MacBook Pro that was upgrated to Mountain Lion the script menu I installed years earlier remained after the upgrade. Just bought a new iMac and I can't find how to get the script icon in the menu bar. In Leopard, and maybe Snow Leopard, there was acutally a script to install the menu. The scripts I use work fine under Mountain Lion, I just want to add them to the menu bar. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Preferences>show icon in menu bar

Installed Firefox on Windows 7 but the menu and icons bar is full of little horizontal lines over the icons and menu bar..

I installed Firefox 21 on a new Windows 7 OS. The menu bar and the icon bar at the top of the windows is full of little horizontal lines. Sometimes there are more lines and sometime less lines. It makes the icons and the menu items almost impossible to see. So far it's only the Firefox screen that does this. The other programs I installed so far doesn't do this.
Any ideas?

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Battery status icon in menu bar not changing

My battery status icon in my menu bar either does not change it's status at all, or takes a long time to change after I plug in, or unplug, my power cord.
I'm not sure what to even try. I've tried removing it from the bar and adding it back with no luck.
This seems to have happened since the latest Software Update for 10.6.5. I have Build 10H574.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Chris

After charging, my indicator stays at 100%. The only way I've found to find out the real status is to put it to sleep, then wake it up again, then stare at it for about 2 or 3 minutes until it refigures the percentage. I got this battery as a Christmas gift and installed it 3 days ago. I calibrated it per instructions. This is very annoying. I can never quite relax because I'm afraid it's about to run down to zero.
I'm on a Macbook Pro pre-2008. My new battery came from the Apple store. It's my 3rd battery on this computer and I've never had this problem before. (I hope you find the answer. I rarely go to the Genius Bar, but I've been there twice this week for other issues--I feel like a knucklehead going back a third time so soon). If I find a solution, I'll try to post it here.

Delete icon from menu bar?

hey, so after migrating info from my old mac to my new, i'm stuck with Intego Netbarrier X3, icon in the menu bar. I uninstalled netbarrier since it doesn't run on the intel chip. Anyway, I tried command, drag, but that doesn't work, it just highlights the options stating: "About your intego software.." and Netupdate X4. How do i delete this icon?

Look in the folders /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/, /Library/Menu Extras/, and ~/Library/Menu Extras/ for anything installed by NetBarrier. Not all of the folders may be present on all systems; to access a folder, choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and enter the folder's path. The first folder should contain the following items in Mac OS X 10.45:
AirPort.menu
Battery.menu
Bluetooth.menu
Classic.menu
Clock.menu
Displays.menu
Eject.menu
Fax.menu
HomeSync.menu
iChat.menu
Ink.menu
IrDA.menu
PCCard.menu
PPP.menu
PPPoE.menu
RemoteDesktop.menu
Script Menu.menu
Sync.menu
TextInput.menu
User.menu
Verizon.menu
Volume.menu
VPN.menu
