VPN icon in menu bar keeps dissapearing

Hi All,
When i wake up my Macbook Pro from sleeping sometimes, the vpn icon in the menu bar keeps dissapearing! I go back into internet connect and re-enable it thorugh the 'show VPN status in the menu bar' option. This is quite irritating as i use VPN on a daily basis! Does anyone know any possible solutions?
Cheers
MacBook Pro 15 inch   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

Sorry, I actually have noticed it happens when i restart my computer aswell. I still have to manually activate it every time!

  • Airport icon in menu bar keeps disappearing

    The Airport status icon in the menu bar keeps disappearing.
    Even when I go into System Preferences/Network/Airport and activate the showing of the icon there and then click the little padlock to prevent changes, at the next startup the icon (almost every time= 99% of the cases) is no longer visible in the menu bar.
    Can this be solved?

    Bernard, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Of course it can be solved. Can I solve it? Probably not.You may want to search for a solution in the AIrport Forums.

  • No icons on menu bar

    I previously had spotlight, time, language, ect. icons on the menu bar but now there is only the gmail icon. I tried clicking on the options of adding icons on menu bars, but it doesn't work. For example, i click "show time and date" and when i switch panes, it resets itself. Spotlight and others doesn't work either. So if anybody can help, I really appreciate it.

    Hi, Dale —
    Seems as if there've been a lot of folks lately who've encountered problems with SystemUIServer — the process that manages the right-hand side of the menu bar.
    Troubleshooting this may require several rounds of interacting. For now, try these:
    (1) Delete the preferences file ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist, restart, and reset as required in System Preferences
    (2) Disable all "system enhancers" — including especially any 3rd-party Menu Extras — that you may have installed. Some of these may show up in System Preferences »» Other. In particular, disable or uninstall Application Enhancer (APE) if it's there.
    Please post back to share your progress, and we'll take it from there
    HTH!
    Regards,
    Dean

  • My imac menu bar keeps flashing

    my mac os x menu bar keeps flashing. i cant even click on them cos it keeps appearing and dissapering. any help please

    First you must figure if this is a system issue or user issue. IF you can, create a Test User. If the test user is affected Reset the NVRamm (Hold Command,Option, P, and R upon restart until you hear a second start up chime).
    Repair disk in disk utility boot to The Mac osx install disk (hold C with the disk in upon restart. On the toolbar go to utilies and run disk repair on macHD). and repair permissions too
    If that fails an Archive and install is an inconvient option
    If its a  user specific it can be more complicated an Archive and Install may not. I would try pulling out the Com.apple.Example.plist files (They are found in (homeuser)/library/prefrences
    i would try finder plist first then maybe even all of them if it comes down to it.

  • ITunes icon in menu bar

    I was looking at a friend's Powerbook G4, he had an iTunes icon (rewind/play-pause/ff) icon in menu bar, next to clock etc.
    I can't work out how that icon gets there.
    Any clues please?
    My iTunes is 5.0.1 (4)
    btw - my friend has gone away, so can't ask him!

    It' not an iTunes feature. Some 3rd party applications can put some items in the menubar.
    Go to versiontracker.com and search for 'itunes menubar'.
    You will find a few applications that can do what you have seen.

  • 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.

  • No airplay icon in menu bar

    no airplay icon in menu bar (Apple tv 3, mavericks)

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You will see the AirPlay icon on the menu bar by two reasons:
    1. Your computer is compatible with AirPlay Mirroring > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
    2. Your computer has detected an Apple TV in the network.
    If both things are done, you will see the AirPlay icon. You can see which Mac you have got in  > About this Mac > More Info. If your computer isn't compatible, you can use an application like Beamer or AirParrot

  • Why does my menu bar keep blinking in the left corner of my screen?

    y menu bar keep blinking in the left corner of my screen?

    There used to be a disk activity or network activity indicator you could download that would make the uppermost left cluster of pixels flash when the disk or Network was accessed.
    I expect you have added some third-party utility that has installed this feature for you.

  • Bluetooth, Airport, sound icons in Menu bar flashing

    I just recently bought a new iMac and installed Leopard but I am having a problem with the Bluetooth, Airport and speaker icons on the menu bar, they keep flashing, and when I went into system preferences I found that each items checkbox to show in the menu bar was unchecked, and when I tried to check them they kept flashing to unchecked. I hope this doesn't sound too confusing, but it's driving me mad.

    I don't know if this is going to help anyone, but I found this message after I encountered the very same problem. I had just upgraded to Leopard and everything was fine except the flashing Bluetooth, Sound and Login icons on the right hand right of the Finder menu. Also, the clock wasn't visible at all. As Kevwadd said, enabling these items in System Prefs did nothing, as they would uncheck themselves as soon as I checked them.
    After trying just about everything, I decided to disconnect my external drives and hubs to see if it made any difference? Hey presto, when I disconnected one particular Lacie firewire drive, my menu items reappeared. The strange thing is that my Mac could read the data quite happily on the drive, but having it connected was definitely the cause of the problem. So I backed up the data on it and reformatted it. After that it's been fine.

  • Sierra 881U aircard no WWAN icon in menu bar

    I am running a Sierra 881U aircard with AT&T 3G service and it is fast--works fine; BUT--there is no WWAN icon in my menu bar like there should be. I have installed the Sierrra's "Install Switch Driver" to enable native support but I have to open network prefs to connect each time. I can go back to "Wireless Watcher Lite" but would like to just keep using the native support for this AirCard. 10.5.4 is supposed to have built-in support for this aircard--I thought. Any ideas on this?

    William, I'm having the same issue on the PBG4. I didn't realize that you could go into the network prefs to get it to connect. Anything special you are doing when you open network prefs?
