Why is there a small blue dot next to the wifi icon in my menu bar?

I just noticed today the small blue dot to the bottom right of the wifi icon in my menu bar. It was not there since I bought the macbook a couple of days ago. Just noticed it a couple of hours ago. Does anybody know what it means? Everything works fine with the wifi connection and the computer in general.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
That's part of your wallpaper, so don't worry about it. Your menu bar is translucent, so it's normal that you can see part of the wallpaper on the menu bar

    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):

  • Why is there an old file name next to the search icon on all my pop up windows?

    Parade Dental is an old project file which has now been deleted but for some reason it appears here. How do I get rid of it?

    You can actually store (aliases to) files, servers, etc. up there in the menubar.
    You may have inadvertently dragged it there once.
    If the item is no longer available, you get the question mark.
    Press the command key and drag that thing off of there.

    I had a year long CC membership that expired at the beginning of the October.
    After realizing that, I attempted to start a free trial of photoshop to work on a project. My Adobe account states that i'm on a trial, but my (Mac) dashboard CC app won't allow me to start the program. I have reinstalled both Creative Cloud and Photoshop CC but still get this message.

  • Why is there a small green dot on middle of macbook pro screen display

    There is a green dot on my screen that always appears when I'm on my desktop. Also, it sometimes appears ranodmely when using other applications... for exapmle: Safari, Microsoft Word, iTunes, GTA, etc... Just randomely it will show and it won't go away. I've tried cleaning the screen with the cloth that came in the macbook pro box. Is it a software issue or a display issue, or is there a burnt pixel? I have the new Macbook Pro 2012.

    It's under warranty.  Take it in to get it looked at.  It's not normal.

  • What does the red dot next to the iPhone Icon mean after "find my iPhone" has successfully located the phone?

    The police are at the home where my phone was located about an hour ago, but now there is a red dot and it appears that the phone is no longer turned "on" so they can no longer prove that the phone is there?

    Yep, it the phone is switched off, there is no way to locate it. What you're looking at is the last located position, which will be available for 24 hours.

  • Connection Time being displayed next to the wifi icon

    i hate it.....and do not need to know how long im connected to a router. but i can not find anywhere how to turn this off. I do not know if this is something caused by the macbook pro or TimeCapsul...as i just bought both on the same day last week.
    screengrab of the annoyance:

    It shows when you are connected using PPPoE. Click on the Airport Icon in the menu bar then hold your mouse over your Airport connection. A submenu should pop up. There will be a check mark next to "Show time connected." Select that line it to toggle the setting off.

  • Why is there a little blue square box with the question mark in the middle of the place where my pictures are suppose to be??

    I don't know why sometimes my pictures show up, and other times I get the little blue square with the question mark. Mostly it does that in gmail.
    Can someone tell me what setting I need to use? I already reset Safari. Couldn't figure out what else to do.

    Do you get a dialog box if you control click the missing image.

  • What is blue dot next to apps on my ipad

    What is the blue dot next to the apps on my iPad. I'm a novice, sorry it may seem pointless to the experienced user.thanks

        Hello goldwingryder,
    I'd be happy to explain the spinning star. This icon helps to indicate when there is any network activity on your device. It also may be used by some third-party apps when they are actively being used.
    Thank you,

  • Blue dots next to TV shows I HAVE SEEN - can I get rid of these?

    I just updated to iTunes 7.1.1 and now many of my TV Shows have blue dots next to the episode numbers, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE SEEN THEM.
    I can Reset Play Count, but this does not Clear the STUPID blue dots.
    How do I clear them?
    ( Note: If I Reset Play Count on other shows, a blue dot DOES NOT appear.)

    There should be a Tool-Tip when you roll the cursor over the blue dot to say what the stupid thing is...
