Update menu bar icon and error install message

Hi, two questions.
The CS5 software update now puts an icon in the menu bar. Every time I mouse over it I get the spinning beach ball in Mac OSX 10.6.3. I even went into the update preferences and turned it off and it is still there. Maybe I need to restart my Mac. Still it is annoying. Any one else have this issue
Second, After I installed CS5 I went into Applications> Adobe Folder> and there was an adobe "Help" icon when I clicked on it (not sure if I should have done that) it said this (see image):
After that the icon became a generic icon asa seen in the error message. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Paul 9,
Were you able to fix this?
I have same issue with this annoying spinning ball always running there when I mouse over. I am running on Mac OSX 10.6.4.
I've tried to force quit the finder, no result, I've tried also an update (with illustrator update menu) and I did uncheck the "notify me of new updates..." in the Adobe application manager" and I also did uncheck the "Send reports to Adobe on success or failure of update installation" with no results.
I'm kind of clueless with this, anyone has same issue or solution to this?
Thanks for any help.

Menu Bar Icons Disappeared and other issues after Security Update 2006-001

Hi,
I was really affraid when i've heard about the Safari vulnerability, so I was really happy to see the Security Update 2006-001.
But after installing it, I'm having regrets:
* mouse speed turned to default settings
* system preferences crashes when i try to access to Mouse & Keyboard
* all the menu bar icons disappeared: Bluetooth, Airport, Time, EVEN Spotlight
* Finder is slower...
I've repaired disk permissions but: nothing happens....
What should I do please?
Should I wait?

How did you fix it? I'm having the same problem
myself.
Mandy,
I'm gonna tell you a secret, just like i said my problem wasn't due to the Security Update but because of Front Row.
How? Because, I've hacked my iMac (without iSight) to install FrontRow (with an update), and i've installed the Security Update at the same time. Restarted my computer, and thought the problem was due to the Security Update.
If you did the same thing, here's the trick to remove Front Row:
Delete Front Row (/System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row.app)
Install/reinstall the the latest Mac OS X Update Combo.
This article assumes you haven’t tried installing Front Row before without the use of Enabler. If you have used one of the very early versions of Front Row (ones installed without Enabler):
Delete Front Row (/System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row.app)
Delete the preference file (/System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.frontrow.plist)
Remove any Login Items that launch Front Row (System Preferences >Accounts >User >Login Items)
Disable any shortcuts managed by third-party applications that launched Front Row.
Reboot and reinstall.

Menu bar icons vanished and iPod not showing up in iTunes anymore

All menu bar icons on the right side (keyboard, clock, battery) vanished.
It's not possible to get them back by mark their visability in the system configuration. The system just ignores any attempt to do that (I can mark the check box, but nothing appears on the menu bar; after leaving and returning to the panel, the mark has gone).
Besides of that, my iPod doesn't show up in iTunes anymore (but does on the desktop).
My laptop may be physically damaged as it fell down to the floor a few days ago.
Can anybody help?

Menu bar icons - can't remove come and can't add others

I just installed OS X 10.5 on my G-5 and icons appeared normal on the right side of the menu bar. However, when I installed the 8-software updates some of the icons disappeared. For instance the Displays icon disappeared. When I go to system preferences for DISPLAY and check the show icon in menu bar, shorthy after I check the box, it unchecks itself. Same thing with Airport icon, Date and time icon. Also can't remove an icon from the Finder Menu right side using the Command key.
Puzzled in Pennsylvania

V.K. Problem finally solved. Remember I said that I COULD NOT restart and boot on the installed DVD to do an "Archive and Install" and could not boot on the inserted DVD by holding the "C" key down. Well I happen to have a Power Mac G5 Apple Hardware Test disc. I was reading the instructions for this test disc and it said to restart, hold down the OPTION key, enter Admin password and then select the disc you wanbt to boot on. Well I inserted the OS X-10.5 DVC, restarted manually and held down the OPTION key. It asked me for the Administrators password and next came up the hard drive icon and the installed DVD icon. I selected the DVD and went on to successfully do the Archive and Install of OS X 10.5. Everything looks good and the menu icons in upper right look normal. I will next install the 8 software updated which include OS X 10.5.7. Hope all goes well. Many thanks for your help.

Try booting into the Safe Mode. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once. You can download from the Safe Mode.

10.9.1 Menu Bar Icons Hidden

Hello Guys,
After I updated to 10.9.1 my Menu Bar Icons like, WiFi, Bluetooth, Sound, all are hidden. Only if I take pointer and click, I get to see the icon. Its trouble to seek by clicking blank space to find out icons.
I searched through settings, and couldn't find anything to fix this.
Thanks a lot in advance!!

Thanks a lot Barney!!
Deteled bunch of Third Party apps and rebooted. Seems back to normal now!
Last time I had to delete google drive for some weird reason! Things which are compatible and working are creating issues after updates!!!

Menu Bar Icons

I am having a problem with my system menu bar icons on my MacBook Pro. If I click on for example wifi and try moving over to volume it will not auto select volume. I need to click on volume. In Safari this does appear to be an issue if I click on file and move over to edit it autoselects edit. It only appears to effect the system icons (Time Machine, Bluetooth, Wifi, Volume, Time, etc.) On my Macbook Air it autoselects the system icons without a problem.
I tried force quitting SystemUIServer and it will fix this issue and auto select the system icons, but once I restart my computer the issue reappears again...
I think something must be corrupt I tried cleaning out the plist files but it had no effect... Is there some other setting I need to try adjusting somewhere?
Thanks!

I don't believe I do.
If I go to my name on the menu bar and switch user and log right back in as myself it resolves itself too. If I force quit systemuiserver it will fix it too. It must be something when booting up that is causing the error.
Is there another plist file I am using besides systemuiserver.plist?

Menu bar icons are gone

Since the security update my menu bar icons have dissappeared. I have tried repairing and verifying disc permissions. I have looked for a preference file but have not been ale to find one. Fast user switching, Time and date, Aiport status, Spotlight, have all dissapeared, However, Salling Clicker still shows up.
Please help,

I can no longer rearrange menu bar icons..... Please help!

Only the apple native icons (airport, BT, battery, etc) will allow to be arranged when I hold down the apple command key and drag. Previously, I could move norton AV, Weatherpop,etc. Is there a prefs file that I need to trash and rebuild or a 3rd party application that needs to be reinstalled in order for all of my menu bar icons to allow to be rearranged?
Thanks,
Scott

Because of the problems between Spotlight, SystemUIServer and menu bar extras I had to minimize the number I run, so I just use wClock, Scripts and Input menus. Since wClock is third party it can't be moved, I want it next to the Spotlight icon, then the Scripts menu and then the Input menu. The only way I found to get this to happen was remove everything, then turn on wClock, restart, then add the Apple ones. However, with depressing regularity after a shutdown the next restart would have them rearranged. I discovered that when that happened I could launch Activity Monitor and use it to force quit SystemUIServer, whereupon the arrangement would go back to what it had been. I would guess about 1 in 3 restarts it does not display in the order I had at shutdown.
Francine
PS--I noticed in another post you have APE installed. Since you aren't using any of Unsanity's haxies I would uninstall it. The balance of menu extras is chancy enough as it is, the fewer things messing about with SystemUISever, the better.

How to eliminate unwanted menu bar icons?

When I installed all the software for my new Canon MP640 printer-copier-scanner it put a "Canon IJ Network Scanner Selector" icon in the menu bar. It doesn't seem to do much - and I really don't want another nanometer of space taken-up by unwanted menubar icons... Does anyone know how to remove this?
Thanks!
Best regards,

OK the cmd-drag didn't work - I had tried that but appreciate the suggestion!
As to your suggestion: In Accounts I find a Login program called *Canon IJ Network Scanner* (checked to be hidden) - and it is in /Library/Printers/Canon/IJScanner/Utilities/Canon IJNetwork Scanner Selection. OK but if I remove this from the login - will it remove just the menu bar icon or will I then lose the ability to use my MP640 as a scanner?
When I open the program by double-clicking it, I get the same screen as when I choose it from the menu bar. I just don't want this menubar "icon" taking up real estate --
The HELP says this: (The icon itself does not show in this paste so I just put in underlines__- it is the image of a printer with the top opened and an arrow indicating a scan direction or something.

My menu bar icons are no longer in color. They are solid black.

The Icons on my menu bar following my last update all changed to black and I cannot find anything to change them back. It just seemed odd that changing them to all black would be part of the update. How would I change them back to their original colors?

All menu bar icons are black by default in OS X Yosemite. No preference option is available to change the color.
Best.
