What is the App? Does it have a preference pane where you can choose it to show (or not) in Menu Bar? Is it in yur log in items in your user options?

This app is for mobile broadband.. Not my main internet connection. It is to have internet connection from usb stick via 3G.. ..But i dont want to have the icon in my menu bar all the time .. This appears all the time.. even i use my wi-fi connection from my house.

Then go to system preferences and remove it from your network preferences. Or simply untick Show In Menu Bar.

Tha was good idea... but unfortunately this didnt work.. My mobile broadband connection is unchecked from "show in menu bar" ... The Menu Bar icon is from the app and not from mobile broadband modem..

No idea then. Works for me. Sorry. Someone else might have some idea. Still can't see why you want to remove it for if you use it though.


Good luck. Over and out.

The app is usefull only when i use the usb stick with sim card to connect via 3G. (when i am in holidays away from my home) The most times i connect to the internet via wi-fi in my house.. In this case the app is useless and i dont want to see the app in Menu Bar all the time. I try to keep my menu bar clear from many apps.. Anyway thanx

One last thought, go to System Preferences > Users and Groups > Click on Admin User or whatever user Account you use > Login Items and if the app is in the start up items then disable it or delete it.


Good Luck
