Removing plugin icons from menu bar

Hi everyone
I installed a qloud plugin for itunes, but then uninstalled it. Now, every time I open itunes, a 'my music' icon appears on the menu bar. I want to remove it but haven't yet been able to. I tried holding command and removing it, but the next time I went onto iTunes, it came back. The icon has not been installed into the /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/ folder either. Has anyone got any ideas of how to get rid of this icon??

Remove cc icon from menu bar on mac

I have dragged anything to do with creative cloud into the trash. The icon is still on my menu bar, how can I remove it?

Hi Helpme2015,
I believe you have only trashed Adobe products from Applications. There is a slightly different procedure to remove Adobe products from MAC but since you have trashed the Applications already, we would have to follow the lengthy way around to remove the Adobe products now. Please follow the below mentioned steps and suggest.
1)      Delete all the Adobe folders available within /Library/Application Support/
2)      Delete all the Adobe folders available within /Library/preferences
3)      Delete all the Adobe folders available within ~/Library/Application Support/
4)      Delete all the Adobe folders available within ~/Library/Preferences/
5)      Delete files and programs from within Application & Utilities .

Removing Samsung Printer Icon from Menu Bar (ML-2510)

I installed drivers for a Samsung ML-2510 and now I've got this unsightly icon on the desktop. I thought I uninstalled the drivers and now I've still got this icon taking up valuable screen real estate.
I checked the startup items for my sole login profile and none refer to anything remotely like this.
What's more frustrating is that the icon is sort of ghosted out - clicking it does nothing. Command clicking does nothing. It's just annoying and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for removing.

I was able to remove it. (Should have done a little research on the Samsung site first.)
Stupid way to remove, but you need to use the installation program.... just to remove the icon from the desktop.
Poorly crafted drivers make me want to scream. Why must I have their crappy icon on the menu bar?

Removing ".mac" icon in menu bar?

greetings,
i've recently installed 10.5 on my G5. it turns out that there is a ".mac" icon in the upper right of the menubar. i can't seem to remove it... it's next to the "spaces" icon... when i select the icon, it give me the option to open ".mac sync prefs"... i see no option to remove the icon from the menubar... interestingly enough, i recently got a macbook pro and it does not have that icon on the menubar.
the G5 and MBPro have the same window for the ".mac", with field for "member name" and password...
i used to have an account on .mac when it was originally free then i paid for a year when it started to be a subscription... but i didn't use it, so i didn't renew it... but that was obviously many years ago... when i first opened the preference window, it had my old ".mac" account name. i think it must have preserved my account name over the years of computer upgrades and OS upgrades... obviously, i didn't have a password for an account that was closed probably 7 years ago... anyway, regardless of whether i keep a name in the field or not, i see no other tabs in the pref window or any check boxes to turn off the icon...
because i have many many programs and windows open for may tasks i do concurrently, i am somewhat obsessive about reducing distracting clutter like unused or unwanted icons etc. i always remove all menu options, tool bar buttons, doc items, finder sidebars, etc. that i don't use... then it is easier to find and access just what i use... this will drive me a bit crazy until i can remove it...
i'd appreciate any suggestions about how to remove the ".mac" icon from the menubar... any suggestions, third party utilities, yanking out a preference file, terminal command to kill a process?
thanks-

wow, many helpful responses!
command + mouse worked... never learned that trick before for menubar...
interestingly, the pref pane in sys prefs does not show the "show in menu" unless one actually has ".mac" info filled in... before when i first opened the ".mac" pref and it had my old ".mac" info from about 7 years ago, i did see a check box in the lower part of the window. but everything was greyed out and it wanted a password before i could access anything in the pane... my mac os password didn't work and after a few tries for what i thought might be other passwords from a long time ago, the interface stopped asking and change the window to only show a place to put in login info... the check box was gone and also the "tabs" in that pref window went away too... so after that there was no check box visible any longer... but the command + mouse worked fine... so problem solved...
as a side note, i tried command + mouse to get rid of the timbuktu menu icon... on my work computer, the IS people install timbuktu, which puts an awful icon next to the menu clock. over the years, i found that the only way to remove it was to delete the program... there was a version years ago that install something in a library that could be found with global searches (pre spotlight), but that changed with a version probably 6 years ago... i discovered that just throwing timbuktu in the trash, emptying trash, and rebooting was always the surefire way to get rid of it... if timbuktu stayed on the hard drive anywhere, it would always reappear... Command+mouse, which i've just tried, does not remove the timbuktu icon... so into the trash it will go...
anyway, thanks to everyone!

Removing 3rd Party Icon from Menu Bar

Just switched from being a PC user for years to Mac. I have a 21.5 in iMac and I thought it was a good idea to install an anti-virus program, in this case McAfee security (Mac Trial Version). I did not like how I could not access some websites (www.cnn.com, www.yahoo.com, etc). I tried to drag-n-drop any files using Finder with the name "McAfee" into Trash, but the old McAfee icon is still sitting on the menu bar. To remove it, I tried the "Command key/drag off the menu bar" move, but it would not work. I tried starting the activity monitor and I noticed a file called McAfee reporter. Even forcing it to close does not work as it reappears on its own after a few seconds. Finally, I attempted to edit the start-up menu (Apple icon--> System Preferences --> Users --> Log-In Items), but the program does not exist in that menu. I also resorted to restarting the Mac three different times, and the dreaded icon still appears. It's not affecting performance, but I hate clutter and I want this icon removed from my menu bar. If anyone has any advice on this issue, please let me know. I have also sent an e-mail in to McAfee, but I doubt they will be able to help unless they are proficient Mac users.

I am not sure if this will help anybody in the future, but here is what I discovered on the McAfee community forums. This worked for me (OS X 7.2), but bring up your Terminal window (Launchpad --> Utilities --> Terminal) and follow these directions. The password they are referring to is the password you set up for your Mac:
To uninstall McAfee Security:
1. In the Terminal window, type the following
command and press "return".
/usr/local/McAfee/uninstallMSC
2. When prompted, type your password and press
"return".
NOTE:
No characters appear when you type your
password.
When the uninstallation process completes, a message
appears in the Terminal window stating that McAfee
Security 1.0 beta 2 version has been uninstalled
from your computer.
I cannot take credit for this fix, but here is where I located the information.

Hide .mac status icon from menu bar - how do I do it?

Title says it all.
I want to hide the .mac status icon from the menu bar but can't seem to find a setting anywhere.
Anyone got any ideas/
Thanks
Marc

Hi MarcMc,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
To remove the .Mac sync status indicator from the menu bar, open System Preferences > .Mac, click the Sync tab and uncheck the 'Show status in menu bar' checkbox.
To remove the iChat status indicator from the menu bar, open iChat's preferences and uncheck the 'Show status in menu bar' checkbox in the General pane.
Most menu bar icons can also be removed by holding down the Command (Apple) key and dragging them away from the menu bar.

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

Can't remove unwanted item from menu bar

I recently purchased a Western Digital My Book HD to use for backups. The HD included software which I stupidly thought I needed to use it, so I installed it. I quickly realized I didn't need it and uninstalled the software, however it has left an icon in my menu bar which I can't seem to get rid of. Is there a way to make it go away or am I stuck now?

how did you uninstall that software? did you simply trash the application? that wasn't the proper way to do it since the app used an installer to install. there should be an uninstaller that came with that app. try using that. you might have to reinstall that software first. if that doesn't work then you have to search out what exactly that software installed. there could be login items. check those in system preferences->accounts. or there could be some launch daemons. check homedirectory/Library/Launchagents, /Library/launchagents and /Library/launchdaemons. but definitely try the uninstaller first.

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:
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=116
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.
