Ubuntu – Menu Bar Time Disappeared

It's likely that the indicator is misconfigured.
Try to click Time & Date settings in your screenshot, in the next window choose clock and play with those settings.
If this doesn't work try this command, it will change the potenciall most complicated of your clock settings to the defaults:
gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.datetime time-format locale-default
Using dconf-editor you can set various options to control the indicator-datetime applet
Navigate to com.canonical.indicator.datetime and tick the two checkboxes shown.
dconf-editor is part of the dconf-tools package which you can install from the Software Center or via a terminal command:
sudo apt-get install dconf-tools
If the date does not appear then check that you have the indicator-datetime package installed (logoff and logon after installing the package)
Later versions of Ubuntu sometimes do not show the path shown in the picture. You'll need to manually set one of the keys first before the path is shown in dconf-editor
For example:
gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.datetime show-clock true
gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.datetime show-day true
gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.datetime show-date true
