How do I get rid of the blue box on my iCal on my iMac?

When I add an event in iCal, using my iMac, it is highlighted within a blue box on my iMac.  When I add an event using my iPhone or iPad the blue box does not show up on my iMac. How do i get rid of the blue box on my iMac?

To take a screen shot on your mac: http://www.apple.com/findouthow/mac/#capturescreen
And then when you reply to a post you click the camera button at the top of the post window to attach an image.
From your description it sounds like you are adding an event to iCal and it is syncing (which is what its supposed to do).  If you see something in iCal on the Mac and you don't want it there, click on it once and then go to Edit > Delete.
If you still can't delete that event:
1. First make an iCal backup:  Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
2. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
3. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
--- NOTE: To get to "Home > Library" in Lion: Click anywhere on the desktop and then click on the "Go" menu at the top of the computer screen while holding down the "option" key on the keyboard.  You will see "Library" in the menu.
4. Launch iCal and test.
If the issue persists:
1. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
--- NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
3. Launch iCal and test.

  • CS6, How do I get rid of the blue box with blue lines through my art.

    This is definitely something small but very annoying, Only happens sometimes when I receive art from customers. This issue prevents my Mimaki / Fine cut plug-in from tracing the actual art itself to plot. Instead it just traces the bounding box.. Any help would be awesome. Also just an opinion on this software in general- It would be nice to not have to make 10 steps to do something very simple like removing a box and just leaving the art?

    Sorry for not getting back to you guys, I figured it out. All you have to do is hit "EMBED" on the top menu and then you are free to manipulate the art. Thanks for your time though.
    Also, It is a printe/ cutter mimaki cjv30-130 prints and plots on one machine. I will use the image and trace it/raster, Then select or draw my cut paths

    Thanks Meg. Trouble is it disrupts emails addresses being keyed in - that is, not from the Contacts book...
    How so?  You trying to type over it? If you keep typing the addresses drop below to next line.  I have tried and tried to make it disrupt anything without success.

    Perhaps you are loading a template that has a text block already on it.
    You might try the blank template option and set that as your go to template in your preferences

  • How do I get rid of the blue "downloading the latest applications" bar which won't go away even after uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox?

    Can't get rid of the blue "downloading the latest applications" bar that seems to be just hanging and won't go away. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, but the bar is still there after 2 days. I updated something (can't remember what!) on I.E., and it had the same blue bar, but it had a box I could x out of so it went away on I.E. I don't know why the blue bar is there on Firefox, as I did the update while on I.E.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I updated an application while on Internet Explorer.

    Annette,
    #In the menu bar, at the top of the Firefox window, Go to Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions.
    # Locate ''each ''of the following extensions by name and click the disable button
    #Restart Firefox as prompted and see if the undesired toolbar has been removed.
    #The extensions to disable are: '''Crawler Toolbar''', '''MP3 Rocket Toolbar''', '''MSN Toolbar''', '''Search Helper Extension'''
    If you don't need some / all of those toolbars, consider leaving them disabled.
    You can probably remove these toolbars permanently from Start -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs.

  • How do I get rid of the little box to the left of each bookmark in the bookmark toolbar?

    On my bookmarks toolbar, there is a little box to the left of each bookmark. The box causes the bookmarks to take up too much space, thus limiting the number of bookmarks I can get on the bar without using dropdowns. I don't like the little boxes, I don't want the little boxes. Please tell me how to get rid of the little boxes.

    Those are icons, but you would still need to leave some space between the text labels.
    This is code I found here:
    * http://www.linnhe2.free-online.co.uk/firefox/chrome.html#Hide%20Bookmark%20toolbar%20icons
    <pre>#personal-bookmarks .toolbarbutton-icon {
    display: none !important;

  • How do I get rid of the blue text that says no savings found?

    on every site I use these random words are in light blue and if i roll the mouse over it a small box pops up and says no savings found, in the lower right corner says adfull. Is this a firefox thing ( it doesn't happen on IE) if so how do I get rid of it? It is annoying especially appearing on my game site
    I use everyday.

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

  • How Do I get rid of a blue box around my picture "links"

    Hi,
    I had troubles finding out how to make a menu bar, so I went: insert>image objects> Image Placeholder, I uploaded a button I made at a website.. the image works fine, but somehow I have a blue bar around the image... How do i solve this? Also, how do you insert an interactive image (a button that links to another page on my website?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    In your CSS add:
    a img {
        border: none;
    and the blue box will go away.
    Did you read that post yet?  The purple is just the default color for a visited link, but that code in your CSS will remove all borders from the images with links.

  • How do i get rid of the blue screen in develop mode, with a big white x in it???  this is on LR6, never had this problem in LR4

    I go to photos i have already modified in LR4, now in LR6 and all i get is an annoying blue screen with a white x in it.  I cannot see my work.  Help!!!!!

    Well, then you have to do without GPU acceleration. For most users, it doesn't seem to represent a big improvement.
    But GPU support in LR is at an early stage, and will probably make more of a difference in future versions.

  • How do I get rid of the default box on a newly created blank pdf? Anybody not seen this? It gets in the way!

    Asked previously but no replies so far which has surprised me as it must be something others have come across - it's so obvious and 'in your face': Is it possible to delete the blue bordered box which comes as default and centred on the A4 page whenever I create a blank pdf to add fields to - or indeed convert an existing pdf. It won't allow me to delete it, isn't a text box and just gets selected anytime I try to select anything near it!
    Many thanks in advance to anyone who can answer this crazy problem.

    Hi Gilad,
    thankyou! - yes it seems though I was using the text tool when I had this problem: When I had created a few fields in the 'form edit' mode I then may later have added some normal 'comment' fields of text in the normal mode to highlight certain aspects on a form - I used the text tool thinking that was the right way in to add or edit text - I can now see I double click with the hand tool to still be able to access any text field I want to. Yay!
    Many thanks for your kind assistance - I shall try this method later on a new form I was trying to create and which was giving me grief.
    One last thing then: what is that default text field that can't be deleted actually for - why is it there? After all, a 'blank pdf' should surely be a truly blank pdf? Perhaps this is one for mighty Adobe....?
    Kind Regards,
    Pete

    What are the exact specs of your media? What are the project properties?  It looks as if you've edited into the wrong size project. You might be able to copy and paste into a project of the right size.

  • How do I get rid of the Blue line around an image that is a link that only happens after a click?

    This is not the standard link problem. I have already put in: a img { border : none; }
    That took care of not having a blue border around the image all the time.
    My problem is that when I actually click on the image, it flashes with a red outline then turns bright blue and stays there untill I click off the image. Then it turns normal.
    I have gone through the CSS and put (border: none) on everything I can think of. These images are in the sidebar, stacked vertically. Each is a link to a page and they are all doing the same thing.
    I hope someone can help me solve this problem.
    Thanks, Alice

    Try:
    a {
       outline: 0;
