To get the items back, just go into system preference,and search menubar. From there you can click on whatever you may have removed. That’s also another way you could remove them if you wanted to.

I wish apple would take a tip and come up with a better way to handle the menubar items seeing as how they have in recent os versions seemed to favor it over system preferences making it fill up fast and with most apps ignoring their own guidelines, I’d like to see something like like arrows to navigate between them, some way to cherry pick which ones are currently turned on and disable them from displaying, a way to group menubar apps in subfolders that could be expanded, heck there are good ways to do this, but its been an annoyance thats been plaguing os x as long as I can remember and have yet to find a good solution.

Great tip. I was wanting to get rid of some items from the menu bar and this did the trick.

Thank you.

Cool – I've hidden a couple in there, but hadn't moved 'em round.
