It's the screen rotation lock symbol.
When your screen is locked, photos won't rotate when you turn you iPhone sideways (or visa versa)
It's for better viewing or a wider picture view.
You can change it with the same icon in the slider menu from the bottom of your screen (upper right side).
It toggles on or off.

Hi, spotshooter.
Did you install a hacked version of Front Row on the Mac in question? If so, see my "Uninstalling the Front Row hack" FAQ.
Good luck!

HT5544 I have tried to delete Purcased Books from IBooks on my IPad but they won't delete. They have the cloud icon in the upper right hand corner of the book cover

I have tried to delete Purchased Books in iBooks on my IPad but they won't delete. The books show a cloud icon in the upper right corner. How can I delete them?

The cloud icon means that they are only in the cloud, they aren't currently stored on your iPad, so there isn't anything to delete. You can turn off the showing of the books that are in the cloud via Settings > iBooks > Show All Purchases 'off'

Weird black icon on the upper right-hand corner where songs play.

I have no clue what it is, or what it means. It looks like a backwards "C" with a cent sign attached to it. There is nothing that I can find to tell me what it is or means. Friends have no idea about it. I've been to the manuals, but they are no help. Can this mysterious icon hurt my iPod Nano?

It could be some type of mojo. You never no what mojo's are out there. Have you tried any of the R's. It does wonderous things when iPod gets into a MOJO STATE.

When I open an email, my computer won't go to the link listed, or when I am doing research the same thing, then I see a ALLOW in the upper right hand corner of the screen and I have to click on that. What happened and how do I fix this?

Somehow my settings have changed. When I open an email and there is a link, my computer won't allow it, also when I am doing a search, my computer won't allow certain links to open.
What I see is "ALLOW" in the upper right hand corner of the screen, and I have to click on that in order to continue my email or do a search. How did this suddenly happen and how do I change it back to being able to roam the Internet without having to click on ALLOW all the time?
Also, I set up Google as my home page, but it won't list Email or any other options. I have to type in Google in the Google box, then Email appears. How do I get the right Google set up as my home page so I can access Email without jumping through hoops.
Thanking you so much for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
[email protected]

Hi, Just switched from CS6 to PS CC. I am used to using ACR in CS6 with it's preview checkbox in the upper right-hand corner. I do not see that checkbox in PS CC. I see that they have added side-by-side, right and left and top and bottom before and after

Hi,
Just switched from CS6 to PS CC. I am very comfortable using ACR in previous versions. I liked to use the preview checkbox located in the upper right-hand corner to see before and afters. That checkbox is no longer in my version of PS CC. I see that they have side-by-side, top and bottom and right and left before and after options in the lower right-hand corner in this version. Is there anyway to get that legacy preview checkbox back so that I can use it?

Hi Warunicorn,
Thank you very much. I just could not find it on my own. I will have more questions as I get into it.

I have an Iphone 4GS. In the upper right hand corner next to the battery symbol, I have a lock symbol with an arrowed circle around it. What is it and how do I get rid of it?

I have an iPhone 5. always before when i called someone..or they called me the picture of them would take up the whole screen. I LOVED it! I could see it. Since the last update it is just a little "bubble" in the upper right hand corner. Can i change

Hi I have an IPhone 5. Always before when I called someone...or they called and I had a pic set up for them in my contact list..... it would pop up the full size of the screen. I LOVED it! I could actually see it. Now...since the last update...or maybe the one b4 that.... The pic is just a little bubble that floats to the upper right hand corner. Does anyone know if there is a way I can get that full size pic back?

I'm sorry, there is no way to change that. It is a change with the newer iOS 7. You can provide feedback to Apple, like a large group of others have that are disappointed in this at www.apple.com/feedback and click on the appropriate link.

I seemed to have locked my keyboard; now there is a ghost writer on my keyboard; it goes to applications on its' own; opens itunes without me touchin the keyboard. There is a lock symbol in the upper right hand corner with a arrow circling it.

So, it appears that I no longer have control over my keyboard. With this symbol in the upper right hand corner, I don't have control over my keyboard.
Does anyone know how to undo this lock?
Thanks,
Elayne

Hello,
Great!
The problem has been solved. Did not have the install disk, but figured the problem out through single user mode. The options listed in the article were not working, so tried this...
sh /et/rc (to boot the system)
open /applications/utilities
Was trying to open Terminal, but this opened root user mode (accidental victory). From there I was able to simply use Disk Utility to repair my permissions.
Thanks!

Help! My outgoing mail has the image of pink lips in the upper right-hand corner. I did not put it there; it is fun but not exactly professional! How do I get rid of it?

Please help! My outgoing mail messages arrive with an icon of pink lips in the upper right-hand corner. I have no idea how it got there. This is cute but not really professional. Does anyone know how I can get rid of it? Thanks!

It's been almost three years since I bought and set up my most recent Mac but if I recall correctly .....
When you initially set up your Mac, you were offered the opportunity to snap a photo of yourself in order to associate your photo with your user account on the computer. If you declined the photo I think the Mac will pick or suggest a picture from the preinstalled selections in the accounts pane of the system preferences. You can change the picture but you cannot delete it totally. That picture is part of your ID for that user account on the Mac.
If you want to change it, Open System Preferences and click on accounts. Click on your account to change the picture. You will have to unlock the preference in the bottom left corner - and to do that - you need to enter your password. Click on the picture of the Eagle and then all of the preinstalled photo choices pop up in another window. Select another photo and then clcik the lock icon again when you are done.

In the upper right hand corner, I continually receive gray pop up boxes asking to accpt/deny websites. How can I remove these completely?

In the upper right hand corner of desktop I continually receive gray boxes with text asking me to accept/deny access to website access. "Do you want to allow connection to www.habbopromor7.blogspot.com". How do I get these removed permanently?

Sounds that you have security software that doesn't trust Firefox and blocks internet access by default, so you need to check that out and make sure that Firefox gets full and unrestricted access to internet.
