Why does "sync now" appear in the menu bar ?

This is actually still relevant if you are syncing with Gmail or Google Contacts or Calendar:

If you have already removed it, you can still get it back (if you need) following the instructions in the article.

Steady green light on A1084. Airport Utility 5.6 says set up is complete. Airport Express base station does not appear in the menu bar, so I cannot select it. Is there a fix?

Steady green light on A1084. Mac OS X 10.7.5. IMac. Verizon DSL Actiontec GT704-WGB modem. Airport Utility 5.6 says set up is complete. Airport Express base station does not appear in the menu bar, so I cannot select it and send a signal to airport express to play airtunes through my stereo amplifier. Is there a fix?

I plugged a model A1034 Airport Extreme Base Station into the Verizon DSL Actiontec GT704-WGB modem with an ethernet cable and now the AirPlay icon appears in the Itunes window immediately to the right of the volume control and I can select it and play Airtunes wirelessly through the A1038 Airport Express Base Station in another room connected to a stereo amplifier by a Monster mini-to-RCA left/right audio cable running from the output jack on the A1034 Airport Express Base Station into the CD jacks on the amp. The problem is that I have to select the Apple Network Airport Express Base Station as my network in order to select the Airport Express Base Station when I click the AirPlay icon, which means I have no Internet signal to the Imac. If I select the Airport Extreme Base Station or the Verzion modem as my network, then I have an Internet signal to the Imac, but the Airport Express Base Station is grayed out when I click on the AirPlay icon, so I cannot select the Airport Express Base Station and send tunes to the Airport Express. It would be nice to play Airtunes while simultaneously accessing the Internet. I don't understand your question about what program I am using for which I require AirPlay. I am not learned about computers in general, and even less so about Macs than PCs. I thought the program I was running was Itunes, and there was no separate program to run to use AirPlay for the purpose of sending a signal from the Itunes on the Imac to the A1084 Airport Express base station in a another room, and then out as described above to the stereo amplifier to listen to Itunes music remotely in the other room, without any kind of cable, wire, etc., connecting the Imac to the stereo amplifier. I would guess that the most common use for the A1084 is to play Itunes through a stereo in another room without the need to run wires from the computer to the stereo. I realize it would be easy simply to run a very long mini-to-RCA left/right audio cable across the floor connecting the Imac to the amp without the need to use AirTunes, Airplay or any kind of AirPort, but it would be both unsightly and a tripping hazard.

WHY is the old updater still appearing in the menu bar???

^THIS.
I'm still astounded that the old updater icon still appears in the menu bar, and that it's also creating a mess up there. It's redundant -- the cloud icon should be all we need for update notifications.
When are the programmers going to eradicate this code once and for all? I never even installed CS6 on this machine so clearly the code is lingering in the CC 2014 release.
OSX 10.10.2, MBPro 2014, CC 2014

Lost my ability to control what appears on the menu bar

When I upgraded from 10.8 to 10.8.2, I lost my ability to control what appears in the menu bar at the top of the screen.
For example, Time Machine no longer shows there. When I open the system preferences and check the box that says "Show Time Machine in menu bar", the check mark appears briefly, then disappears. It will disappear as many times as I check it. I tried reinstalling Mountain Lion. When system 10.8 was installed, the menu bar worked. When I repeated the upgrade to 10.8.2, it quit working again.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.....
John

Only the song/album/artist info is displayed on the "now playing" screen.
As for lyrics, play any song to which you've added lyrics. Then press the centre button repeatedly until the lyrics appear.

I just upgraded to mountain lion. I am unable to use airplay mirroring through my apple tv. They are both on the same network. It says a airplay icon should appear in the menu bar but it isn't there. What am I missing here?

Stop doesn't appear on the menu bar on Version 29.0.1. How do I install it?

Stop doesn't appear on the menu bar on Version 29.0.1 and I can't find the icon in the customize menu. It just seems to have disappeared. I would also like words under the menu icons. Also the reload icon can't be moved or customized.
I JUST HATE IT WHEN WEBSITES COME OUT WITH A NEW "STREAMLINED" APPEARANCE. IT ALWAYS MEANS FEWER FEATURES AND MORE TROUBLE TO USE.
HELP!

Have you tried Classic Theme Restorer? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/

Date and time won't appear in the menu bar

For some reason, I can't make the date and time appear in the menu bar. Also, the Time machine, wireless icon and volume icon in the top right hand corner flash on and off. Have I done something obvious or is this a drastic problem?

For what it's worth I'm having the same problem. My data & time was appearing fine in the menu bar yesterday, and then today for some reason it disappeared. When I check the "Show date & time in the menu bar" checkbox in preferences, nothing happens. If I close and then re-open system preferences, the checkbox is unchecked again.
Again, not the end of the world, but massively annoying.

Why does my name appear on the iCloud account for everyone in my family?

There are four members of my family, and we each have our own Apple ID and password that we use to sign into iCloud. We also use a variety of devices -- iPhone, iPad, Safari on Mac, etc. When any of us sign on to iCloud, we see our own individual photo, but only my (Dad) name! For example, using her laptop, my daughter logs onto iCloud via Safari, using her own Apple ID and password, and then in the upper right hand of the screen there's a small photo of her and then my name! The problem is that we're now sharing pictures via Photo Stream, and when any of us make a comment, it seems that I'm the (only) one making the comment. I already went to the Apple Store and showed the Genius Bar guy what I'm talking about and he had no idea why this was happening or how to fix it. Help please!

Back up all data if you haven’t already done so. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to the state it’s in now.
In the Finder, hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the menu bar. From the Library folder, move the following items to the Trash, if they exist:
Application Support/Dock
Caches/com.apple.dock
and move the following item(s) to the Desktop:
Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.dock.*.plist
Preferences/com.apple.dock.db
Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
Here “*” stands for a long string of letters and numbers. Log out, log back in, and test. If you still have the issue, put the item(s) on the Desktop back where they came from and post again. Otherwise, move the items on the Desktop to the Trash and empty.

Why do random addresses appear in the bookmark bar above my tabs?

Ever since I got my iPad, safari has added weird sites to the bookmark bar above the address tabs(appears below the address bar when you activate it). Sites like texans children's hospital, or red palm oil. Why is it doing this, and how do I regulate it? Using the newest iPad and most recent update of safari.

Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data.

Strange icon appears in the menu bar randomly

I'm using a late '13 macbook pro retina and recently I've noticed that a strange icon will popup in the menu bar somewhat randomly, though it seems to appear most when I access certain websites (ebay is the one I've noticed it happen the most).
The icon is between the power level and the date and time and appears in the spot where the keyboard language icon usually is. When I try to click the icon nothing happens and it just opens the language drop down menu. It disapears after a few seconds but when it appears a strange black flicker will appear at the top of my screen just below the menu bar.
Thanks

In ->System Preferences->Keyboard, Uncheck:
And...

My Favorites, imported from Explorer, used to appear in the Menu bar as "Favorites," now I have to menu down thru bookmarks to find them. Why did this change all of a sudden?

The last few weeks, my firefox has been acting up. Sometimes when I load it, my RoboCom Icon does not appear, sometimes it does. Now, I lost "Favorites" in my menu bar.

Check that you still have the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar.
Make sure that all the toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* Check in "View > Toolbars > Customize" that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize window onto the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" or other items that are missing in the toolbar palette or on a toolbar then click the "Restore Default Set" button

Why does Sync Now no longer work on my iPad

After several Partial backups/syncs, my iPad "Sync Now" is greed out even when I'm connected to power and the wifi network (my macMini says I'm connected). Both machines acknowledge connection to the wifi network.

Have you tried connecting to your computer and sync using iTunes? If it will sync that way, the means the problem is the wireless sync. One step in the troubleshooting process. You also might want to consider posting here.

Why does a comma appear in the port field of the network settings

Ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion I have had issues collecting mail through 2 different Gmail iMap accounts using Mail.app. It works fine on my home network. However the network location I have set up for work has a port number, 3128, for the proxy server, however when I have been trying to diagnose the issue, I noticed that a comma appears in the port number as, 3,128 each time I delete this, it reappears. Is this causing the mail issue or not. I can still get online at work, just can't collect mail.
Thanks

Hi
Werid, but it worked and solved the comma problem. You're correct also it wasn't causing the mail issue. I'm not sure now what it could be. Thank you very much for solving the other issue, which must be 10.8 related.
