System icons('docklets'?) Not showing anymore in top right corner.
Hi, this is my first time here, so I'm really sorry if this belongs somewhere else.
I got my first mac about 2 months ago and it has been running fine until abouta week ago the system icons stopped showing up in the top right hand corner. I can still see himmelbar and my printer icon there, but the Bluetooth, airport, time, spotlight, and fast user switching are all gone on all accounts.
Around the same time I have encountered that the system is sygnificantly less stable than it was before. I can consistantly crash the system prefrences by clicking on the mouse and keyboard settings, and there are other little things that cause programs to crash now.
I have tried repairing permisions already, and I have checked the disk for errors. Everything is fine in those two areas and I am truely at a loss to understand what is causing this.
If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it. I'd rather not re-install OSX but I will if I have to.
Thank you very much,
Jacob Wilson
They change colors when the background bar changes to enhance readability.
If you go to Settings > General > Accessibility and turn White on Black ON, the symbols will be black on a white bar for the home and some app screens and orange and purple on a black bar for other screens.

I'm new to this and I think I typed a long heading!
Anyway the issue is I have iTunes and just updated it to the latest. I also have various Apple devices however my iPhone won't sync with iTunes. When I connect it using the USB cable it does not appear in the top right corner as does other devices. The cable is fine as it charges and also my PC sees the device. However it does not appear in iTunes so I can't sync music to it.
I've searched the web but all asume iTunes can see the device.

How can I get rid of the calendar icon that's showing on the top right of my screen?
I can't figure out why the calendar icon is only showing when locked? When I unlock it it's not telling me I've missed anything and the icon isn't there so I can't figure out where's it coming from to delete it. Help!
Solved!
Go to Solution.Try a Battery Pull:
1. Remove the battery while phone is turned on
2. Wait a few seconds before inserting it again
3. Allow the long boot up process to finish (takes a few minutes usually)
This clears most software issues that occur on blackberries from time to time. You could also use Quickpull, a free app that simulates a battery pull without physically removing the battery: http://software.crackberry.com/product.asp?id=27660
A battery pull reclaims memory lost during application usage and clears minor software errors that creep in over time. The blackberry runs an OS just like your PC runs windows and the battery pull is the equivalent of a reboot/restart on your computer.

Firefox Icon does not appear in the top left corner of the Browser on a Mac Desktop
I have an Intel iMac with OSX version 10.6.7. I downloaded Firefox 4.0 and do not have the Firefox icon in the upper left hand corner of the browser. It appears on my Windows 7 machine but not my Mac.
You get the orange Firefox menu button if the menu bar is hidden.

Can someone help identifiy the icon that I had never seen before? Thanks
I don't think you can delete it but you can remove it from the screen by swiping up the screen from the bottom & clicking on the lock icon to disable it; it should go dark.

Hi, I have a mac book pro running mavericks and recently tried to connect to a 3rd gen apple tv but the airplay icon is not showing up in the top bar. I then tried my girlfriends laptop running mountain lion and it showed up straight away. Any suggestions?
How old is the MacBook Pro? AirPlay is only supported on 2011 and newer models, due to the requirements it has in hardware for graphics acceleration.

Airplay Icon does not show in computer
The aiplay icon does not show in the computer but it does show on itunes. My computer is a Macbook Pro, Retina Mid 2012, with a processor
2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 and Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3. My software is up to date and it is Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63). The software of my apple tv is already up to date. I already checked in system preferences and display and it doesn't show the icon to enable the airplay. My computer and TV are using the same wireless.Welcome to the Apple Community.
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better 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). You can see which Mac you have and which operating system you are using by selecting 'About this Mac' from the Apple menu in the top left corner of your Mac and selecting the 'More Info' button. -
The Airplay icon does not show on my Mac Pro, regardless that it is clicked on display. How can I do to see the Airplay Icon in order to connect my apple TV with my Mac Pro?
To check your model go to About This Mac (by clicking on the Apple icon, top left) and then select more info. If you wish to use mirroring you will need one from 2011 or later running OSX 10.8 or later. The alternative would be to use 3rd party software like Airparrot.

i have a macbook pro (almost positive that its a 2010 version) and i got mountain lion. The BIGGEST AND MAIN REASON i bought mountain lion was so that i can do airplay, allowing me to mirror image what is on my mac to my Apple TV. my whole computer is updated as far as the displays and newer features but the small airplay icon will not show up on the top of my screen. therefore, not allowing me to mirror image what is on my mac to my tv... it is connected to the same wifi as my apple tv. idk what to do. could it be because my macbook pro is a 2010? desprately looking for help...please help me with this issue
thank youWelcome to Apple Support Communities
Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404 AirPlay Mirroring requires an Early 2011 or newer MacBook Pro, so your MacBook Pro isn't supported.
To mirror your MacBook Pro's display onto the Apple TV, you can use an application like Beamer or AirParrot even if AirPlay Mirroring isn't compatible -

The Airplay Icon is not showing up on My Taskbar After Upgrading to Mountain Lion
Please help. I have 2nd generation Apple TV and a 2011 Imac but the Airplay Icon will not show up on Taskbar after upgrading to Mountain Lion.
Finally after trying to uninstall/reinstall (no luck!)
I'm on Windows 7 64 bit. iTunes 10.7 And I have a solution:
If found a thread about IPv6.
I followed the same directions on Windows 7 64 bit and it worked.
Disable IPv6 on _all_ of your IP ethernet adapters.
That includes Virtual Machines (VMWare... yes those too), including IPv6 for wireless.
Close iTunes. Start iTunes. Works. Airplay Icon is back.
It looks like All of the AirPlay devices may have to be re-setup. At the very least rebooted.
I found that I had to clompletely erase my DHCP addresses from my (non Apple) router.. and that fixed it. Finally.
Even though this is for the Mac... I believe they are onto something. Original thread link:

The message icon is not showing in the drop screen of my photos where it says do you want to email, message, assign, use as waller paper etc. it used to show before and now it's not there how can I get it back?
Did this back along to mine. Plug it into itunes on your pc (or Mac) and click on the ipod icon on the left hand side. When the device options come up on the main screen, click on restore. Follow the steps and it should restore to factory settings. If you had icloud activated on the ipod all previous purchases should be in the cloud and ready to download onto the ipod afte rit has been restored to factory settings, otherwise you'll have to download them all again. Hope it helped.
