How do I get rid of this yellow box with my name/address that is stuck at top of my screen?

I have this annoying yellow box at the top of my screen.  I am guessing my baby girl was typing on the computer and hit some combination because now I have this yellow box on the top of the screen with my name and address in it and I can't move it or make it disappear.  Any ideas?
Also, how do I defragment my iMac?
Thanks,
Rob

Re the yellow box, have you tried restarting?
If you click on the box, what application name is displayed for the app menu (that's the first menu to the right of the Apple menu)?
Re defragmenting your Mac, such is usually not needed with OS X. OS X usually takes care of that itself, on the fly. What causes you to think it may be necessary to defragment the drive?

    When I search for solutions, I find several references to the backup feature of Norton 360. There also were references to MozyHome and McAfee.

  • I downloaded the latest version of iTunes and now ALL of my songs sounf d like skipping records.  How do I get rid of this or completely remove the new version that I downloaded???

    I booted up my computer and opened up my usual shortcuts.  I got a message from iTunes that a new version was available and would I like to download it.  I clicked on "yes".  It took over 1/2 hour to download and now ALL of my songs sound like a skipping record or like they are tripping over themselves.  I uninstalled the ITunes and tried reinstalling my old version.  I've tried EVERYTHING I could think of to get my old version back but everytime I go through the download process I get a message saying that - the file "iTunes Library.itl "cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.  I was finally able to download a version that will open but it has the same "skipping" problem.  How do I stop/fix this or COMPLETELY get rid of this version of iTunes and re-download what I had???  I'm REALLY distressed.      Jim

    Usually, the exclamation mark tells you that the song was not where the program expected to find it. It may also mean that there was an error with the file itself.
       If you click on the exclamation mark, it may give you a reason. You can also double click the file to make it play. If the file is not found, it will tell you. Just follow the prompts to look for the song again. It will ask you if you want to look for the other missing songs in the same folder. You can do it, but unfortunately, the last few updates have made the program blind to the songs that are there and you sometimes have to do the same process for each song.
       If neither of these help, I would suggest starting from scratch and reinstalling iTunes. I have had to do that before. Do your best to back up the library and such first.
       Sometimes a computer will rename a hard disk (Windows) and all the songs on that disk will be gone to iTunes because it will think it's looking in the right place. It can't recognize that the hard disk or partition has been renamed.
    I know that this is a podcast, but the principle is the same. A dialogue box should pop up to tell you just what the problem is.
       I hope this helps!

  • How do I get rid of this stupid box in the lower left hand corner?

    There is this awful box you put into firefox 4 and I want to get rid of it
    http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/310/thisstupidbox.png

    The easiest way is to use the Status-4-Evar add-on. With it you can choose to not display any of the status messages or url hover previews, or display them in the add-ons bar or location bar instead.

  • How can I get rid of this dialogue box that seems to be related to Pixel Bender?

    I recently installed CS6 (not the cloud) on Windows 8 64 Bit.  On opening I get a dialogue box, which goes away if I click on "OK" after which CS6 loads.  I reinstalled, but I still get the dialogue box.  How can I fix it?

    right click>click "run as administrator".
    if that fails, run in compatibility mode for win 7.
    if that fails:
    uninstall ps cs6.
    run the cleaner, http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
    restart your computer.
    reinstall ps cs6.

  • Next to the mozilla icon in the startmeny is an arrow for a sub menu how do I get rid of this annoying submenu with irrelevant things?

    It is so freakin annoying. I will never want this shortcut to do anything but start a new browser.

    Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.<br />
    Open the DMG file and drag to Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive.<br />
    You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.

  • 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

  • How do I get rid of a red square with a red circle around on my playlist on my iPhone 4S?

    How do I get rid of this red square with the red circle? It only shows on the right side of the song on my playlist and the song won't play. My playlist now skips 10/12songs before it plays another. When I checked iTunes on my computer there is nothing changed on the playlist. I downloaded the latest iTunes and synced the phone again but still nothing. I do not want to have to restore and do this all again. Help.

  • In Mail, one mailbox for Recovered Message (AOL) keeps showing 1 very large message that I cannot delete. How can I get rid of this recurring problem, please?

    In Mail on iMac, successfully running OS X Lion, one mailbox on My Mac for "Recovered Messages (from AOL)" keeps showing 1 very large message (more than 20 Mb) that I just cannot seem to delete. Each time I go into my In Box, the "loading" symbol spins and the message appears in the "Recovered Messages" mailbox. How can I get rid of this recurrent file, please?
    At the same time, I'm not receviving any new mails in my In Box, although, if I look at the same account on my MacBook Pro, I can indeed see the incoming mails (but on that machine I do not have the "recovery" problem).
    The help of a clear-thinking Apple fan would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks.

    I worked it out.
    Unhide your hidden files ( I used a widget from http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/developer/hiddenfiles.html)
    Go to your HD.
    Go to Users.
    Go to your House (home)
    there should be a hidden Library folder there (it will be transparent)
    Go to Mail in this folder
    The next folder ( for me ) is V2
    Click on that and the next one will be a whole list of your mail servers, and one folder called Mailboxes
    Click on that and there should be a folder called recovered messages (server) . mbox
    Click on that there a random numbered/lettered folder -> data
    In that data folder is a list of random numbered folders (i.e a folder called 2, one called 9 etc) and in EACH of these, another numbered folder, and then a folder called messages.
    In the messages folder delete all of the ebmx (I think that's what they were from memory, sorry I forgot as I already deleted my trash after my golden moment).
    This was GOLDEN for me. Reason being, when I went to delete my "recovered file" in mail, it would give me an error message " cannot delete 2500 files". I knew it was only 1 file so this was weird. Why 2500 files? Because if you click on the ebmx files like I did, hey presto, it turned out that they were ALL THE SAME MESSAGE = 2500 times. In each of those folders in the random numbers, in their related message folder.
    Now remember - DONT delete the folder, make sure you have gone to the message folder, found all those pesky ebmx files and deleted THOSE, not the folder.
    It worked for me. No restarting or anything. And recovered file. GONE.
    Started receiving and syncing mail again. Woohoo.
    Best wishes.

  • The curser includes a text box from a previous image or link when the curser is positioned on the side of the page. i click and it goes away but only to return again on the next launched page. how do i get rid of this?

    the cursor includes a text box from a previous image or link when the cursor is positioned on the side of the page. it will mainly happen when i hit "back" from the page i was on. i click and it goes away but only to return again on the next launched page. i also keep several tabs open and it will carry over to any one of them i go to. how do i get rid of this?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == when i upgraded to most recent version 3.6.8

    A number of extensions can cause that problem, you'll need to do a little troubleshooting to find out which extension is causing that to happen for you.
