macosmenu bar
I have a rogue item on my menu bar from a terrible piece of printer/scanner software. I long ago removed the app, but the button for the app remains in the menu bar.
Is there any central way for me to remove an item from the menu bar? Any plist I can hack? command line trick, etc?
It's the one to the left of the Facebook icon:
(I tried holding Command and dragging it away, but it doesn't seem to respect that convention.)
There is an extension that runs on Firefox that can easily snag that video.
I use Firefox 20.0 with http://www.ant.com/video-downloader
It does not work with Safari, but I've tested the Facebook link for you and it will get you the entire 2 GB video file if you have a fast network connection.
You will get an unsigned extension warning when installing the add-on, since the video downloader isn't signed by the developer. You also need flash player since it grabs the flash file.
The menu you are seeing is actually the AppleScript system menu. It gives you a handy way to launch applications when you're in an app.

This is likely a status item, not a menu extra. (Not being able to move it around or remove it by holding ⌘ and dragging is the way to find out.)
In Activity Monitor (in
/Applications/Utilities), set the pop-up menu to "My Processes" and look for anything that sounds related to the scanner vendor. Also, check~/Library/LaunchAgentsfor a file that mentions the vendor in its name. Lastly, check System Preferences → Accounts → (your account) → Login Items.
