Mac 101: Eject button in the menu bar

Sorry Dave, I really don't think this should be Mac 101... Mac 101 should be holding the F12 key down (which people have mentioned) which is the 'easier' way of doing things... unless you have multiple drives, in which case the icon shows up in your menu bar automagically!

Any icon that has a drop down menu does not seem to work with this method. When you hold down the option key and try to move you cannot?? All you see is the drop down. (example: quicksilver, virus barrier, etc.)

Any way to get that to work??

Thanks.

"You can also re-arrange menu bar items by dragging with the Command key depressed"

only useful part of your post.

Or you can just drag the disk to the garbage.

I cant find the coreservices folder i tried searching and everything............i'm using leopard

What I want to know how do you eject the disc on a non-Apple keyboard at the boot screen?

Speaking of old keyboards, just yesterday, out for a walk, I happened upon an original Apple Extended keyboard sitting atop a pile of old computer equipment, so I took it.

I'm eager to try the thing out. The question is, where do I find an ADB to USB adapter? Will any adapter do? Do these adapters work as advertised?

Hey, just thought i'd say it's in /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/

Another great little tool is a widget call Menu Butler. If you use this widget, it places a menu in your dashboard which allows you to select all of the mentioned items plus more. Works like a charm!!

On Leopard, you have to look in System > Library > CoreServices > Menu Extras > Eject.menu
