Remove icons from right end of menu bar

On the Apple site I saw this procedure to remove icons from the right end of the menu bar : To rearrange the menu bar icons on the right end of the menu bar, hold down the Command key while dragging the icons. To remove them, hold down the Command key and drag them out of the menu bar.
It does not work with 10.6.8. As soon as I approach an icon it opens a menu wether I use the right or left hand side of the mouse. I cannot simply drag, as suggested.
Any other suggestion?
Thank you in advance

Some can't be moved or removed.
Check their respective System Preference, perhaps there is a option there to remove it from the menu bar.

  • How can i remove icons from toolbar

    what is best way to remove icons from tool bar?

    On any mac application you should be able to right click (or control-click) on the toolbar and select Customize Toolbar... This will enable you to drag icons off the toolbar or onto the toolbar.
    If you are referring to the Menu bar icons (in the upper right of the screen) then just press Command and then click and drag the icons off the menu bar to remove them.

  • How can I remove icons from the Finder sidebar?  Were transferred when I set up laptop from my desktop computer.  Tried dragging off but that didn't work.

    How can I remove icons from the Finder sidebar?  Transferred info from my Mac Pro desktop computer (using target mode) and there were folder icons on the Mac Pro Finder sidebar that are now on the MacBook Finder sidebar, even though these folders do not exist on the MacBook.  Tried to drag them off, which is the usual way to get rid of folders that the user adds to the sidebar (as opposed to those that can be added via the Customize Toolbar dropdown menu) but was unsuccessful.  I then unchecked all of the Customize Toolbar menu items and the folder icons still remained.  What else can I do?

    Did you hold the Command (Apple) key while dragging them off the sidebar? That usually makes them go *poof*.

  • HT1338 how can i see the icon of mirroring options on menu bar?

    i did check the mirroring options on menu bar in the system preferences - display  but nothing happens, i don't see the icon in the menu bar HELP!!!!!!!
    Does anybody knows why there's no icon of mirroring options or airplay on the menu bar ( i have a macbook pro and imac with mountain lion running )

    Your Macs are probably too "old".  Apple is pushing AirPlay and unless you have a newer (2011+) Mac, you'll never get the Displays menu bar icon back in its previous form.  It is possible to get the icon to appear on your menu bar, however, your only option will be to "Open Display Preferences".  You won't be able to detect displays, adjust brightness or change resolutions from the menu bar...

    Safari problem:  when I switch back into safari from another application, the menu bar comes up but no tabs or windows.  What's going on?  Just started yesterday.  I have found a workaround: when I Command Tab back to safari, I hit command T to open a new tab and Command W to close it, and my other tabs are visible.
    I have tried shutting down, closing tabs, with no success.  What's going on and how can I fix it?
    Thanks,

    PS:  I'm not sure of the actual OS level, but I have not allowed it to upgrade to Maverick yet; concerned about it because of a few things I've read...

    A Safari extension or third party plugin may be causing the menu bar issue.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
    If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
    Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect:  Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
    As for which OS X is installed.
    Click the Apple () menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac.
    The version is noted there.
    v10.6 Snow Leopard v10.7 Lion  v10.8 Mountain Lion
    It's your choice whether or not to upgrade to Mavericks. If you decide to do this, make sure your Mac meets the requirements noted here.

  • I just upgraded to mountain lion. I am unable to use airplay mirroring through my apple tv. They are both on the same network. It says a airplay icon should appear in the menu bar but it isn't there. What am I missing here?

    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).

  • Right part of menu bar and menu bar clock freezes.

    Right part of menu bar and menu bar clock freezes after a few minutes works. Happens every single session and seems to not be affected of what programs that are running.  There are other anomalities too, which seem to be somehow related, affecting my main software (Finale).  Keyboard Maestro and Time Machine are always running in the background.  Any ideas?

    Nope.
    BTW:  After restart, it all seems to work.  This seems to happen after the MBP has been taking a nap and in all following sessions.
    It's a 2 months old MBP, 8 gB RAM, all the newest updates on everything.

  • Why can't I remove icons from desktop

    Why can't I remove or relocate icons on the desktop. When I attempt to do so a circle with a slash thru it appears and it snaps back to it's original position. I also can not remove icons from the trash to the desktop for the same reason.

    This may fix it. Open Terminal in Utilities and Copy/Paste -- don't attempt to type this in. This will set the correct Permissions on your Home Folder. (Disk Utility Permissions Repair won't touch these.)
    sudo chown -R `id -un`:`id -gn` ~
    Then hit return.
    If you've never used the sudo command before, you will get a warning and then be prompted to enter your admin password, which you won't see on the screen as you type it in.
    Wait until you get a new $ sign prompt and then close the window.

  • Remove zeros from right side

    Hi all,
    I want to remove zeros from right side.
    like : if value is '0.055500000000E+04'.
    then the output should be '0.0555'.
    How can i get such output.
    Plz help me....

    Hi,
    the problem here is u are dealing with a datatype of format F (i.e floating point ) and the output u desire is in packed format .
    You cannot delete the zeros of such data typesas type F instead u can move them to the packed datatype and get the result.
    do one thing declare a variable of type p and move the value of type f which u have right now to the variable u have declared as type p.
    data : v_val type p decimals 4.
    v_val  =  "               <------ assign the type f to type p over here .
    hope this helps .
    regards,
    vijay.

    hi,
    I am not sure whether we can completely hide these icons from the user.
    But there is a workaround to disable these icons.
