New x230 what is the black box with A in an arrow at the bottom right?
It keeps appearing and disappearing on the bottom right of my desktop - clicking on it doesn't do anything. Anyone know what it is for or how to make it go away.
Solved!

In desktop mode right click on the wallpaper and select "screen resolution", "advanced settings" and the On Screen Display tab. There are some options there that should help.

hello everyone, as I have stated above, I have an Iphone 4G realtively new, just 3 months of use. I've never dropped it, nor got it wet. The problem is that the screen just one day went black and displays the apple logo, when I do the recovery mode everyway possible the screen shows the itunes link but the pc doesn't acknowledge it.. I've tried on many pcs (windows and mac) and none respond because the device is not shown on itunes it just says "driver not found"
please what to do???Call Apple Customer Relations - 1-800-275-2273. Ask politely & firmly that you want to be transferred to Customer Relations. Tell them exactly what you stated in your post.
GOOD LUCK!

IPad has a black box with a white circle.
When I got ios 5 I was amazed how much speed and functionality came with it. However, yesterday an annoying black box with a white circle appeared in the bottom left corner of my iPad. It gives me the options of home, device, gestures, and favorites. How do I get rid of this?
Happy solving and point earning. Sent From My iPad 2 32GB Black Running iOS 5Check the Accessibility options under Settings. You appear to have activated Assitive Touch

Uploaded new software update and all I have is a little black box with an incessant flashing white light. I have pushed menu + downarrow on the remote, unplugged for 10 seconds and stiill no change when I plug it in again ! !
Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device) -
I have followed every step in the various help pages I was directed to when troubleshooting the inability to install Adobe Flash Player on my Mac using either Safari or Chrome. Everything has failed. I always get the black box that says briefly, "Retrieving instal. . . " and then goes blank. When I close that window, I get the message, "Adobe Flash Player could not be installed." Then it gives some links to follow for troubleshooting. I have followed ALL of the links there and on other help pages, to no avail. I've run into problems installing Adobe before, but it's never been this bad. Would someone please develop another format besides Adobe? Trying to get help from Adobe feels a little like trying to find a building in New York City with no map or GPS. The time required is voluminous, the emotional energy a/k/a frustration is overwhelming, and long before I get anything resolved, I wish the earth would open up and swallow all things Adobe@. Absence that miraculous intervention, I have to figure out what to do next. Does anyone know? Anyone?
Same question, same answer: use the offline installer http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg

this is what it looks like
Interesting, Have you tried selecting the text elements and then formatting them so that they are not bulleted? And then reformatting them with a different style bullet so you can see if the black boxes come back with a different style of bullet?
I just made a few small test lists with bullets in Keynote and I have no issues. -
Hi. My new computer had Acrobat on it. Suddenly, I was unable to open any PDF's. and then I tried to update and was forwarded to the Adobe site that said I had to buy a monthly subscription. I do not have the physical box with a serial number and was going to buy the one advertised on the website until I discovered it's only for students and teachers, which I am not. What should I do next as I need to use PDFs on a daily basis. Thanks! I would like to be able to download this and pay online. Possible? I currently have Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. I have a Windows 7 system. Please help!
As long as you know your serial number you can download PSE from here:
Download Photoshop Elements products | 11, 10
If you don't know your serial number:

Hi all, i'm new to Mac book & Xcode. I'm learning and facing problems while creating a new file for Xcode. Before i upgrade the software, i have no issue to create simple steps in apps. After upgrade Xcode to 4.6 version, i'm facing lot's of issue eg.
1) "the identity "iphone developer" doesn't match any valid certificate/ private key pair",
2) can't select the box "with XIB for user interface" if the subclass is "UIViewController"..
Appreciate for any help rendered.Mikko777 wrote:So what is the best?
I wouldn't judge. I've been to Arch for a week, you know? But as said, it's VERY close to it.
What I dislike after a week is makepkg not handling dependencies automatically (which would be overhead, so probably not appropriate).

Why can't I open pdf file? Get a black box with a white x in the upper left hand corner that won't open either
I get the same thing... no matter what site i try to pull a pdf for IE10, it gives me the black x... if i use chrome it works, but my client does not want to use a different browser.
I followed the guide that Pat posted... nothing worked... I have uninstalled and reinstalled Java, Adobe reader, Adobe flash,.. upgraded to IE11, then back to IE10 due to medical software that is not compatable with IE11...
The kicker is that my Admin profile works just fine.. no issues.. so i know it has something to do with his profile....
Please.. someone... help!!! -
When I click on the thumbdrive pictures, it opens to a black box with an explantion mark. I am using iphoto 9.2.1. Note this just started last night.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

What does the black screen with large exclamation point mean?
I'm trying to edit, or even just select a photo in iPhoto, but can't get it to come up - just the black screen with a large exclamation point. What does that mean, and how do I get back control of my photos?
It means your database is corrupted and that iPhoto has lost the link between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the actual file.

Anyone else have the black box of death with codes on your screen? (DVR)
I've manually reset and still get this black box with codes on my TV sceen. It blocks out 90% of the screen. I've also tried the online reset and they "cannot process" my request at this time! The code is <00815BAC> [DCE2]. It's definitely DVR-related - my non-DVR TVs work fine.
Anyone have any ideas what the problem is? (thanks)
Message Edited by heirloom on 01-03-2009 12:25 PMHello,
First, make sure that you have the latest Firmware updates installed. Refer to the article at:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117
This will list all the available firmware updates for each machine.
If you already have the latest firmware update installed, and are still having this problem, then I would suspect bad memory first.
Try removing any expanded memory you have installed (leaving the factory memory installed) and see what happens.
There were a lot of marginal memory modules sold before OS X was released.
Many of these modules would work perfectly fine, and then fail completely once you installed (or tried to install) OS X 10.0
This was a huge issue back then. Many people discovered that their memory modules were just slightly out of spec, and needed to be replaced with proper modules that were produced exactly to spec.
Perhaps this is what is going on with your system.
Since you have been using 9.2 on that machine, your expanded memory (if you have any) may be slightly out of spec, but was not noticed by OS 9.2.
Hope this helps. -
my iphone got wet and after letting it dry all i get is the black screen with the grey apple and a bunch of white writting, what do I do to fix it?
You can try and put it in a bag of uncooked rice for 5 days or so, but don't get your hopes up. If that doesn't work, you get an out of warranty replacement or buy a new phone.

I was just installing windows 7 onto my MacBook Pro. I selected to have 200GB for Windows and the rest leave for Mac.
I clicked install and the bar filled up as it should do. However, once the install had completed, my MacBook turned itself off. I assumed this was normal. Now, my MacBook has a black screen with a white flashing underscore in the top left corner.
What is wrong and what should I do?Hold down the Option key when starting up then on the sceen that comes up select Mac OS X to boot from.
The Win 7 install didn't go well and is hung in some way. You should use boot camp assistant to remove the win partition and start over.
Make sure you are using a Retail version of Win 7. A Branded OEM version, like ones from Dell and HP, will NOT work to install Windows 7 on your Mac. -
I don't know what's wrong with my 3GS. It only shows the black screen with white apple. Home button and turning the phone off then on doesn't seem to do anything.
Thanks Lucas,
I've tried doing that with no results. Same screen keeps showing. Maybe it'd be more helpful if I told you a bit more info. My phone was randomly playing music, and the voice control would also suddenly start without me touching the phone. Then I let the battery die and started to recharge when on the screen it indicated to plug into my computer/iTunes, I tried to restore but was getting an error message (can't remember what it said now). Battery died and now my current issue of the black screen with white apple. I'd love to be able to restore my phone but now its not showing as a device on my iTunes. HELP! Any other suggestions?
