OS X Menu Bar Items and Issues

The icon for .Mac Synch mysteriously appeared on my menu bar today. This is odd because I’m not a .Mac user. I can only assume it was some wacky Leopard bug confused when I sync’d my iPhone earlier.

It wouldn’t come off and had no “quit” option.

Fortunately, the issue was quickly solved by this “Removing items from the menu bar” thread on Mac Forums: Cmd+drag the item off the menu bar.

In other menu bar news, I came across this menu extra for Time Machine today via one of Hicksdesign’s tweets.
