Out-of-list icon in status bar

I got a strange icon (looks like a key) right next to the battery icon when I swipe down the status bar once. I have no idea what it is and how to turn it off. Please tell me what this icon stands for. Thank you.
Ps: How to attach a screenshot? -_-

When updating to the latest OS X my wife's Mac Book Pro locked at a grey screen with an apple icon and status bar. Is there any way to recover the data on the laptop and complete the OS install?

When my wife's Mac Book Pro was being updated to the latest version of OS X the laptop locked up at a grey screen with the Apple icon and status bar. Is there any way to recover the data and complete the install? I have not tried anything yet because of the data issue. I am not sure which OS X version as I did not install the software.

Is there a complete list of the status bar icons somewhere?

I just received a Flame phone and have an icon in the status bar that I can't decipher: a "2" followed by what I think is a SIM card graphic, followed by a "!" - I have a SIM card in slot #1 but I am wondering if there is a problem with it. I checked the help pages and I don't see a topic that describes the different icons. Please let me know if I need to fix something. Thanks.

It's a bug. Means that a second Sim is not installed, but really it should not show at all.

ISync icon on status bar vs. opening app

Ok- new to Mac so I apologize if I butcher this question- however, I have a RAZR- and the syncing thing works great. But, in order to sync, I have to open iSync and click "sync devices". Why doesn't clicking on the small sync icon on the upper status bar, then selecting "sync now" do the same thing?
As an aside, other than Quickbooks, I LOVE my new Mac- so glad I made the big switch.
MacBook Pro 17 Mac OS X (10.4.6) It's hot

For some unknown reason, Apple changed this when Mac OS X 10.4 came out. Previously the Sync Now function synced all devices. Now it only syncs .Mac.
If iSync is open, and you use the Sync Now menu item, it will sync all devices however.
I made a simple application to re-instate the previous functionality, which you can download from my site here:

You can stick it in your dock, or in your favourite menu bar launcher.

Small chain link icon on status bar

I connected my ipod to my mac mini via bluetooth, and a small chain link icon appeared next to the word "ipod" on the status bar. Does any one know what this icon means?

Unidentified icon in status bar [Flame FFOS2.0]

I have been using a Flame updated with the official release of FFOS 2.0 for some days.
It happened twice that, for no apparent reason, an icon I cannot identify appears in the status bar. It is similar to the incoming call icon, but the arrow is bent like the reply icon, and a little '1' is there too (I assume it may refer to the first of my two SIMs). I cannot find this icon anywhere (see https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/styleguide/products/firefox-os/ for reference). When it appears, nothing peculiar seems to be happening. In particular, there are no calls going on.
I wonder what is the meaning of this icon, and if there is a reason why I see it.

Solved the problem: I just had to go on Settings > Call Settings ( > Sim 1 ) and wait a few seconds for data to be collected from the network, and the mysterious icon disappeared. No further action were required.
I suspect the original problem was originateb by doing the same operation (going in Call Settings) and exiting without waiting for data to be collected.
Yesterday (when the mysterious icon was still in place) I noticed various problems with the network: I was not receiving incoming calls, and at times the first SIM was marked as missing.
I guess there should be a bug here somewhere…

WiFi icon in status bar disappeared

Hi, two days ago the wifi icon in the status bar just disappeared. I can connect to wifi networks as usual, but no wifi icon is visible anymore. Could this be due to having installed the Accuweather app? This app has a temperature notification in the status bar. However, the wifi icon does not come back even when I switch off Accuweather notifications... I tried rebooting etc, but nothing seems to work. Bizarre.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Hide NFC icon from status bar

How do I get rid of the NFC icon without actually turning NFC off? I can turn just about everything off using Personalization->Status bar icons, but I don't see an option for NFC there.

Settings then More and untick NFC

[SOLVED]Gnome: No network icon in the status bar

So fresh install and no networking icon in the status bar.
I also opened the network connections program and it didnt show any connections. I am using eth0 to write this.
This suggests to me that a daemon hasnt been started (but doesnt necessarily explain no icon in status bar)
here is the daemon section of my rc.conf
DAEMONS=(hwclock syslog-ng network netfs crond networkmanager dbus gdm)
i added network manager as a previous attempt (on advise of someone elsewhere on the internet(cannot remember where lol))
Thanks.. I have nearly got my system how I want it (minus software i havent installed yet)
Sorry if i have created a duplicate thread

Thanks to both of you.
I had already noticed the redundancy of network which was added in the install however hadnt considered the ordering

This is pretty much all i have seen people saying at the end of their posts on here. I agree with the point you have made, however i have been on the wiki all day, conisdering this is a newbie forum it is to be presumed that it is a pretty new installation. Therefore the user does not have time to read the entire wiki. As i said i have been on the wiki all day and used it countless times and have found it invaluable, so im only posting here when i am unable to find answers there.
That aside this is a wonderfully helpful community so HI

Lifelog status bar notification

Lifelog along with connected smartband or smartband talk should show icon on status bar
Adding an option within related app to hide it for those who don't want to see it

Do you have the latest update on all the apps? because there shouldn't be an icon on the notification app unless you pull down the notification bar then you will see them.

How do I turn off and on the icon size slider bar at the lower right status bar of a folder window.

I have been trying for days to help a friend with a new iMac to turn on the icon size slider bar that on my iMac appears at the bottom of ever folder when it is open when in the "view" > "icon" mode. I cannot find anything that discusses this slider bar. I can turn this status bar off and on on both my machine and my friends machine, but I cannot turn off or on the slider on either machine.

This did not help. I am a Mac User since 1984 and generally I am never stymied buy the Mac OS, but this one has me. I can open and close the lower status bar, as you described, and that works fine for me because I have the icon slider bar already there and it works fine; however when I open the lower status bar on my friends machine there is no icon size slider bar, and I can't seem to find out how to get it there, as it is on my machine or at all. The icon size can be controlled from the View menu, but as a photographer, it is really handy to have it at the bottom of the folder window. Thanks for trying.

Weird message below status bar - icons move down and almost touch dock

Ever since installing 3.0 on my 3g iphone I've had a weird problem. Roughly around an hour or so after the phone is on, the icons on the page move down (about an 1/8 of an inch) and the words "Revisar ADN" appear below the status bar. A little bit later the message will go away but the icons will remain shifted down. The only way to fix it is to turn the phone off and back on again, but again, roughly an hour later it happens again.
I have restored several times but to no avail.
Some more info about the situation: I purchased and activated the phone in Guatemala (where I live) and my carrier is Claro. The words "revisar ADN" mean "check DNA" in english. The phone is not jailbroken or anything like that. Even though the carrier is Claro, the international settings are in English with the exception of the spanish language added to the keyboard. I've had the phone for about 6 months and on 2.2.1 never got this message.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks so much for the information and the investigation on this (I saw you posting in other forums as well). Through some trial and error I think things are working finally. Here is the story for anyone else that might suffer from the same problem.
I originally tried the SIM trick and took the SIM out, put it into another phone, added a contact, and then put the SIM back in. This unfortunately did not work. A few hours later the icons had moved again. I then noticed that the contact that I had added to the SIM was not in my iphone address book, so I imported the contacts from the SIM (Settings>Mail, Contact, Calendars>Import Sim Contact), hoping that this would fix the problem. That didn't work either. I turned the phone off and on again, and that didn't work either.
Then I began to look into the "Claro Contactos" issue, and went looking for the SIM Applications (Settings>Phone). Now, I am almost positive that when I looked here earlier that day the SIM Applications button was not there. Maybe it was, but I'm thinking that by putting the chip into another phone and then putting it back into the iphone, this "unlocked" this feature. Or maybe it was the simple act of taking it out and putting it back in. Either way it was there now. I had never heard (or turned on) Claro Contactos so I went hunting for where to turn it off. After finding it "Utilidades Claro" it popped up a message asking if I wanted to turn it on. Obviously I had not used the feature before so I couldn't turn it off like the previous post had suggested. So I did the opposite and turned it on. I then touched the button "Respaldo Contactos" to back up that one contact to this service and then touched the button "Respaldo Automatico" and told it NOT to back up automatically. After doing all of this, I turned the phone off and on again, and now everything has been fine. It's been a full day and my icons are right where they should be.
I mention the process because I'm not totally convinced that just by turning the Claro Contactos on was the issue. I think the whole process is the solution. Maybe someone else that has the same issue can try the process, but backwards and see if just switching the Claro Contactos on (or off) solves the problem.
Thanks for the help and I hope this helps whoever else might have the same problem.
