Sync Icon On my Top Menu Bar Suddenly Appearing !

Hi,
After 3 weeks of Lion, Icloud and Ios 5 Update, I notice the sync Icon on my Top Menu Bar. On clicking it it shows me SYNC NOW option.
What is this for ? It was never there earlier and I have not changed a single setting & not done any recent updates either. Why is this suddenly appearing. On Googling for the same it shows only how to remove it by Option Dragging it off... But does not say how to get it back. Do i need this ?
The only change I Notice just yesterday when I saw this Sync Symbol, is that on adding or deleting Calendar events on my Iphone, I would have to launch iCal on my Imac Earlier to see the updates. But now even though iCal is off (QUIT), it automatically launches and updates the entry. This is great but I only want to know how is this all happening automatically since just yesterday.
On my other User profiles it is not hapening automatically and the sync icon is not visible !
Please help.
thanks
cyrus !

you can remove the sync icon by holding down the command key and then drag the sync icon from your menu bar

Missing icon in top menue bar...

hi there, unfortunately the ichat status icon in the top menue bar (next to airport, sound, battery icon) seems to have disappeared also ichat is still running properly...
how do i add the icon to the bar again?
thanks

Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, enter /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/ as the folder's path, and then double-click the item iChat.menu inside. You may need to add this item to the Accounts pane of System Preferences as a login item for your account.

Unknown icon in top menu bar

I discovered an unknown icon in my top menu bar. It is a blue "S" with a small drawn picture of a guy with brown hair, facing left, in front of it.
When clicked, it performs no action, it is just sitting there, apparently doing nothing. I cannot seem to find a way to get rid of it, nor does it show any pop-up message. Anybody got ideas?

I have tried it wih AppZapper and also zapped the last 4 apps I installed . No effect on the icon. The S behind the guy's drawing goes dark blue at startup, and then slightly transparent when fully started. It looks like some activity, but no clue as to what it is. It looks like a virus or something.
Only thing I can think of is the installation of a Samsung printer driver...

Where is the "Arrange Document" Icon in Top Menu Bar in PS CS6?

PS CS5 had icons in the top menu bar where the "Arrange Documents" icons were located. Now I can only find them in the Window drop down list. Are they still available in CS6? It was nice not having to find them in the "Window" drop down list.

Some UI (or is it UX, nowadays) genius at Adobe has reduced accessibility of frequently used features.
If there are particular arrangements you often use, assign keystrokes to the menu items.

Deleting icon from top menu bar

couple days ago i tried using "bluestacks" an andriod app player for PC or Mac's
in a couple hours trying it out i decided to delete it since it wasn't that usfull. but everytime i restart or turn on my MBA there is still "bluestacks" icon on the top menu bar beside "time" "battery" "wifi" "bluettoth" icons are....
the weird thing is that i deleted the app with "app zapper" an app that deletes apps completely from Macs. but the icon still reminds at the top menu bar and still active...... active as in openable and sub-menus appear and able to press them...
i can click on "quit" but restarting my MBA again it appears again
is there anyway of getting rid of the icon?
thanks

Solved.
Go to > System Preferenes / Accounts / Login Items < select "uHD-Agent.app" (not by checking the hide checkbox, just click over it and highlihght it) then click on the minus sign at the bottom of the field. If you would like to confimr that this is Bluestacks' , just secondary click on it and > Reveal in finder < it will take you to > Library / Bluestacks App Player / Runtime < By doing this you don't delete it.
At last...
Regards !!!
BTW This is on Snow Leopard, guess is similar on Lion...

Airport and the top menue bar

For a long time now, since I installed Air Port there existed an Air Port icon on the top menue bar once I logged onto the computer. All of a sudden it disappears. I have an iMac and I have not had this problem before. howe can I get it back in the menue bar. Fred

Hi Henry B: The following information was found under System Profiler:
AirPort Card Information:
Wireless Card Type:     AirPort
Wireless Card Locale:     USA
Wireless Card Firmware Version:     9.52
Current Wireless Network:
Wireless Channel:     1
It appears the the System Profiler does "see" Airport
Your first message stated :"Run the System Profiler Utility" I am not sure what you mean by "Run"
Thanks for your patience. Fred

Menu bar not appears in some applications.

Hi, all!
I have a strange problem and really need help:
top menu bar not appears, when i start some applications.
For example, Numbers, keynote, quicktime and, in the end, Finder!
Problem solves when i replace the .app file of the application with the file from another computer, but it appears again with another application. No errors, no messages, just no menu bar in the top.
I don't know why it happens and don't know how to diagnose this problem.

Sometimes something as simple as restarting the computer will resolve system quirks. If that does not work, boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
Select your language.
Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
Select Disk Utility.
Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid.
Click Repair Disk.
Restart your computer when done.
Repair permissions after you reach the desktop-http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751

My current situation: I have soooo many texts on my iphone and I haven't deleted many because I need the information contained in them for future reference and for legal purposes. I would really like to find a means and way to save them other than on the phone itself. I've done searches for various apps yet I'm not finding what I think I would need. It appears Apple does not sync the texts between the iphone and my MacBook Pro.
Try the computer apps PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):

Best of luck.

I can no longer see the top menu bar in itunes. where you see the status of syncing. where you have the option to click and move a song you are playing to the middle of the song, etc.

It's iTunes screen menubar:

Does your question involve iPhoto in some way?

After upgrading to OS 10.10 some fonts appear blurry. Specifically top menu bar, desktop icons, mail

After upgrading to OS 10.10, some fonts appear blurry. Specifically top menu bar, desktop icons, mail and Safari. This only occurs after the computer has been running for awhile, not immediately after startup. I'm running an iMac, 20 inch, Mid-2007 with the following graphics: ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT 128 MB.
It's not a huge problem, just darn annoying. Thoughts anyone?

Hi,
Please note that this upgrade related problem would very likely be what has been covered by the support document at the link below:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2537
If you also find any files named to include MessageSorting (which would mean you once have upgraded from a version of OSX earlier than 10.4, which is clearly the case for you), remove those, also, but never restore those.
Often this is all that needs to be done, but you might then need to force an overall reindexing via the removal of the Envelope Index. Note the special instructions when forcing the reindexing of IMAP or Exchange accounts in the following:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/3.0/en/14019.html
This will force the reindexing of all the POP mailboxes and all On My Mac mailboxes. With regard to any IMAP accounts if you have any, the practical result of this action of removing the account folder, is that with the IMAP account still set up in the Preferences, Mail will connect to the IMAP server and create a new account folder, and while doing so will index the messages in the mailbox folders of the IMAP accounts on the server.
Keep me posted.

May be slightly simple question from a new Mac user: Why can't I quit safari? I cannot quit it from top menu bar neither to do it from dock? All other apps are working normally.

Or you can actived the right button on your magic mouse and click on they icon in the dock. then you select "stop" and it's out of your dock.

Top menu bar becomes blotchy on my macbook air

When the computer is fresh from start up the top menu bar of my macbook air is fine but as soon as I open any applications such as Safari, the menu bar goes blotchy as if it has some shadowy effect on the words.
It started happening just yesterday and my air is pretty new- like a little more than a month old?

You may try this applescript program.
log " --- Starting on " & ((current date) as string) & " --- "
-- percent
set volume output volume 35 without output muted
Start the AppleScript Editor
/Applications/AppleScript/Script Editor.app
In Snow Leopard it's at: /Applications/Utilities/AppleScript Editor
Copy the script text to the Applescript editor.
Save the text to a file as an application and do not check any of the boxes below.
If you want access to the script from your Script Menu, move the script (the saved script application file) to your
~/Library/Scripts folder. You can also drag it to your Dock or make an alias for it on the Desktop.<br><br>
To debug, run the script within the Applescript Editor. Click on the event log tab at the bottom of the window. Click on the run icon. The results from the log statement will be shown at the bottom of the screen.

Hi,
Have you restarted it? Most problems like that will go away if you restart a Mac.
Post back to let us know if it worked.
