Status Bar Icons

In my status bar there is a little lock with an arrow going in a circle around it. It is by my battery icon. What does that mean?

It means screen rotation is locked.

What handler is called when a Status-Bar-Icon is clicked in Cocoa-Applescript?

In Cocoa-Applescript Xcode, what handler is called when the Status-Bar-Icon for my app is clicked? Are there any variables or connections that I have to make?

Thanks Red_menace! I don't know what the Apple community would do without you.
For others viewing this question, the following is the proper format, for Cocoa-Applescript:
property NSStatusBar : class "NSStatusBar"
property StatusItem : ""
on applicationWillFinishLaunching_()
set StatusItem to NSStatusBar's systemStatusBar's statusItemWithLength_(current application's NSSquareStatusItemLength)
StatusItem's setAction_("myAction:")
end applicationWillFinishLaunching_
on myAction_()
say "Hello!"
end myAction_
Where "myAction:" is the action that you want to call when the Status-Bar-Item is clicked. It should also be noted that this handler will not be called if a menu or view is already linked to it's click action.

How create a tooltips in status bar icons

the answer is in the title
I want to create a tooltips on my application icon tray, in the status bar icon.
I think that the solution is in the SDK, but i dont know to implement this code:
source MSDN:
#define ARRAYSIZE(a) (sizeof(a)/sizeof(a[0]))
NOTIFYICONDATA IconData = {0};
IconData.cbSize = sizeof(IconData);
IconData.hWnd = hwndNI;
IconData.uFlags = NIF_INFO;
HRESULT hr = StringCchCopy(IconData.szInfo, ARRAYSIZE(IconData.szInfo), TEXT("Your message text goes here."));
if(FAILED(hr))
// TODO: Write an error handler in case the call to StringCchCopy fails.
IconData.uTimeout = 15000; // in milliseconds
Shell_NotifyIcon(NIM_MODIFY, &IconData);

If you're interested in the icons in the notification area, I think the easiest solution is to use the "System Tray Icons" functions in toolbox.fp.
You can create a new icon calling InstallSysTrayIcon(), and you can also set the tooltip text.

Firefox Sync (Weave) 1.4b2 removes status bar icon

After updating Sync to 1.4b2 the status bar icon is removed. This is annoying as i use a third party password manager.
Why has it been removed or where to ask for Sync support?
Please help, Sync is a life-saver!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I updated to 1.4b2

v1.3 was perfect, v1.4 is a disaster... please bring back the icon... Since I upgraded to v1.4, I do not know if things have been sync'ed and it should be done automatically, not manually like in v1.4. I have gone back to v1.3... and I have to do this to all my computers... please ask the users before making any changes, if you really care about the users who use this.

Status bar icon meaning

hello,
can anybody help identity what this icon/symbol mean? how do i remove it?
here's a close-up view (below)
hoping for some help.

well said, uselessSABOTAGE
thank you for the perspective. btw, your suggestion -
"Check if you have utilities or tweaks that may have a similar icon and see if that icon disappears if you toggle that tweak on/off."
worked.
i search for a utility that showed the same icon. it turned out to be for a tweak called iPrivacy. turned off its icon display tab and the status bar icon disappeared. equally important, this can be a guide for future occurences of this type, too.
my appreciation and respect.

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.

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.

Stopping or Removing Status Bar Icon (Android)

I use my phone for many things and BT SmartTalk is a small part/aspect. And with limited screen space, I definately can't justofy another icon in the status bar and the SmartTalk App running the entire time. I need to run t when I want then exit.
Using Settings > Apps > Force Exit after every occasional SmartTalk call is just stupid.
So, do BT think they are the only think on a smartphne or how to I get the app to exit and get rid of the icon
(I have already switched the default calling back to the phone as SmartTalk is just an occasional thing).
Interestingly, when I was doing a Google search for the answer, there were quite a few user reviews where loads of people had been saying about this daft icon - so I am far from alone in my wish to get rid of it and get the app to exit and stop using system resources).
Many thanks

I wonder if the app sends any other data whilst it is still running after use?
Don't know, but I hope not - I wonder if there anything else when it is in use.

Overriding paint method hides my status bar icons

Hi All,
   I use setStatus on MainScreen to add some image ButtonFields to my status bar.
   It shows up fine.
   But when I override paint method , it hides all the icons I added using setStatus.
   Any clue on this ? Thnx in advance.
   Here is my paint method:
protected void paint(Graphics graphics) {
super.paint(graphics);
Bitmap image = ImageUtility.loadBitMap("header2.jpg");
graphics.drawBitmap(0, 0, 500, image.getHeight(), image, 0, 0);
for(int i =0; i < 5; i++ ){
fieldList.drawListRow(fieldList, graphics, i, 50 + (i*50), 20);
protected void paint(Graphics graphics) {
    Bitmap image = ImageUtility.loadBitMap("header2.jpg");
    graphics.drawBitmap(0, 0, 500, image.getHeight(), image, 0, 0); for(int i =0; i < 5; i++ ){   fieldList.drawListRow(fieldList, graphics, i, 50 + (i*50), 20);
Aranya

Try Calling super.paint at the start or at the end ... it should do the trick

IPhone Status Bar Icons

Anyone know how to place custom icons in the status bar?

Page 12: The User Guide is available at http://support.apple.com/manuals/ or downloadable from iTunes as an iBook.
I wouldn't get over-excited by the 4G: news.cnet.com/8301-30686_3-57393828-266/has-ios-5.1-turned-the-iphone-4s-into-a -4g-device-overnight/

Does anyone know what the status bar icon shaped like a pad lock with a 3/4 arrow circle around it means?

Never mind I just found the answer.

Run Automator in the background without status bar icon

Hello,
I hope this is the right place and thank you in advance for the help.
I am trying to run an Automator App in the background without running in the status bar as it takes the focus from the current application that I am working in. Is there a way to do this? Some Google Fu stats that I can make some changes to the info.plist of the package contents of the application by changing the LSUIElement. However when I follow those instructions, I am still unable to run the application in the background completely.
For what it is worth, I am running a brand new Mac Mini with Yosemite. Any help is greatly appreciated. Please let me know if I need to provide any more detail.
Cheers!

Items from various actions such as Ask for Finder Items or Get Selected Finder Items can be passed to the Run Shell Script action. Saving the workflow as an application will run it without launching Automator.
A file with a .php extension would be associated with whatever application created it (or a default application that can handle HTML files). A Unix Executable File isn't seen as an "application" by the system, so you will need to call it directly with your parameters.

How to eliminate status bar icon?

I used an app named LogMeIn for a short while, then deleted it from my Mac using AppCleaner. The icon for LogMeIn, however, still appears as a grayed-out icon in the menu bar. I tried to remove it using Command-Click to drag it off the menu bar, but it won't move. I also confirmed that LogMeIn was removed from my login items. How do I remove the icon in the menu bar? Thx

You can try deleting the associated plist com.apple.systemuiserver found in your user library here:
Finder>Go>Go to Folder:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
then in the terminal.app copy and paste:
killall SystemUIServer
to rebuild the default plist
or if you are not comfortable with terminal, reboot the machine after you delete the plist.

Unexplained status bar icons

To the left of by battery strength icon a new icon appeared today. It's a small "arrowhead" or arrow pointing to one o'clock. It seems to have appeared after I updated my "IDataUsage" and "Camera Flash" Apps. I also downloaded the "Angry Birds" App.
Does anyone know what this Icon is? I'm not sure yet but it seems to be using data.
HELP!

If you take a look at Settings/General/Location Services, you'll see all the applications that use location services. If you don't want any of them to use it, turn the slider to off for that application. Alternatively, you can turn off location services in general at the same page.
