What does this icon mean and why does a black battery appear behind it?

All of a sudden, since last night, an intermittently flashing black battery appears behind one of the menu bar icons. Unfortunately, I don't know what the original icon means! From right to left, I have the volume icon, the wireless connection strength icon, a telephone icon, (what I think is) an Ethernet icon, then this funny icon -- three horizontal black dots, with a thin vertical line and kind of an X running through them. (Can you tell I'm not a computer person? Anyway, can anyone interpret these signs for me? Inquiring minds would very much like to know, especially if something drastic is about to happen. TIA!

Donna,
If you used Setup Assistant, Mac OS X 10.3: Setup Assistant migration may transfer portable-only menu items to a desktop computer may explain what is happening and how to fix it.

  • What does this icon mean and what does it do?

    Hi all!
    I wonder what does the icon in the bottom middle do: http://bildr.no/view/738173
    If it is some sort of an archive function where does the e-mails go then? I can not find them anywhere...

    Some e-mail servers (like Google if you're using IMAP, which is the default iPhone setup for Google) don't allow you to delete messages via the iPhone Mail app. It basically moves the message from the inbox to Archive (or at least to the All Mail Folder).
    For POP3 e-mail, the iPhone does allow you to delete the messages.

  • What does this error mean and why can I not find a reference to it ?

    In my continuing saga to get the type of backups I want our new Basis
    Admin had me use the brarchive option -ds  to brbackup
    brbackup -u / -p init$.sap -t online -m full -c -a -ds
    the brarchive option being -ds
    when the above was executed it gave the error
    BR0197E Chained start not supported for '-ds'
    I can find no reference to BR0197E anywhere

    Hi,
    Found it as an "Info" message, not "Error". But it seems your case:
    <i>BR197I Chained start not supported for '%s'
    Explanation: A BRBACKUP and BRARCHIVE backup in a single run is not supported for all combinations of parameters or options (for example, not for backups to disk with backup_dev_type = disk ).
    Program response: The BRBACKUP/BRARCHIVE run terminates.
    User action: Do not use the parameter or option in the message for the chained start.</i>

    About once a week to two weeks I receive notification through my anti-virus that this file has been changed. It appears to be part of Firefox. What is it and what does it do?
    Thank you.

  • What does error 261 mean and why does iTunes backup fail in version 7.3?

    I made a backup of my purchased music (all single items) in the previous version of iTunes for Windows. Now with version 7.3 for Windows I keep getting error 261:
    After inserting a blank CDRW, CDR, or DVD+RW (all previously without any problems in older iTunes versions) and selecting File -> Back Up to Disc, iTunes says: "Checking items for backup..." after which it shortly says: "Burning Disc... Initializing"
    To abrubtly end with: The attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred (261).
    I used various burning options, including AUDIO and DATA CD, to no avail. The differences with my previous backup are:
    - more tracks;
    - complete albums;
    - DRM free items (upgraded);
    - audiobooks.
    Although my main iPod contains the complete library (luckily it is small), I can use it for backup purposes, but after re-installing Windows and iTunes, my iPod would not be recognised and my data would be lost.

    You are not doing anything wrong. This and many other errors have cropped up since version 7.3 was released.
    For now, the solution is to go back to version 7.2 where everything worked correctly.
    E-mail me at [email protected] and I will gladly share the steps I took with you. Apple does not allow posting a link to a site that they do not operate and therefore I can only help you privately.
    My Itunes is working perfectly again with version 7.2

  • What does "extracted channel PDF" mean and why does it continually duplicate on my desktop?  I think it happens when I move a file in Finder to another file and when I copy some web files.  How do I avoid this on my Mac (Mavericks)?  Thanks for your help!

    What application is set to open PDF files? If you CNTRL click on the file and open with Preview does the problem occur?
    If not change the default application to open PDF files to Preview.
    You can do this by highlighting the file and either use CMD i or Get Info , this will open a window with the info on the file with an option to change the application that opens the file.
    That's all I can think of.

    I'm stumped.

    Hi there I've just installed CS4 Pro on Windows 7 64bit and got exactly the same result as you. Did you manage to find anything out, because the thing that bothered me was the limited functionality (what ever that is). Is it just a case of Windows 7 having a newer version of ActiveX already installed?

  • What does this actually mean and how do I fix it: Alert: Error Count Monitor Resolution state Object Hyper-V Virtual Storage Device Has a value

    But I am getting this alert from SCOM and SCOM has no information about the alert for me to find out what to do - thought that was the point of SCOM to let you know of problems and how to resolve them. :)
    The alert is coming from the Error Count Monitor that is part of the Hyper-V Management Pack Extensions (v 4.0.0.0)
    I have tried looking in the Event Logs on the Host and there doesn't seem to be any storage related errors there. I am trying to establish if this is a false positive, why it is happening and if it is safe to override and ignore.
    There is nothing on the Product Knowledge tab and nothing on the Alert Context other than what I have already mentioned (see below).
    Thanks for responding.

  • Help! What does this icon mean???

    Hello,
    I hope this isnt too stupid of a question but could someone tell me what this icon means? I've tried searching around on Google with no results.
    I think its an error icon but the report appears to work correctly and there was no error message.
    !http://mouchet.ca/SQL-ICON.png!
    THANK YOU!

    It was a good question! Althought i'm not 100% sure, I've done some tests and I think that if you look at your SQL statement you should see that there's a sub-query in it. That was my case. If not would you please post your query ?
    In my case : select 1 from mrn_invoice MINVO where exists (select 1 from fac_invoices FINVO where FINVO.no_seq = MINVO.no_seq) ;

    I think the ICON means there is an open session. For a VISA comm port use the VISA close.  You should close the resource every time you are done using it.
      ------->   
         Before the VISA close is run                               After the VISA close is run

  • Photoshop CC banding issue, what is the fix?  And why does Adobe not address this?

    I am having a issue with banding.  I paint in my backgrounds but instead of a nice smooth graduation I get banding.  This occurs in 8 bit and 16bit.  I have changed the drawing mode to basic.  I have even photographed a graduated background and it still has banding. Here is my computer info.  Thanks.

    There have been several others who have tried to illustrate a problem like what you describe, and it's been traditionally very difficult to distinguish between what we expect to see and something that's abnormal.  There is not just a single identified problem that fits your description.
    The best you can do is be very, very thorough in your descriptions, including exactly what you're doing in order to create an image where you see the problem.  Include as many screen grabs as you can, concentrating on showing what you consider a good result vs. bad.
    Good luck.

  • What does "The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 0 (error -1)." mean, and why does it keep happening?

    So I've been trying to export a video file from Motion 5 (and FCPX), and I keep recieving the message "The operation could not be completed because an error occurred when creating frame 0 (error -1)". I've found the problem has something to do with a video file in the project, Ive tried multiple versions of said file, in multiple formats (.mov, h264, etc.), and I keep getting the same result.  The file was originaly a 640x480 wmv file. Any suggestions?

    I ended up figuring out a solution, but I'll get to that in a sec.
    To answer your question, I converted the .wmv file in a program called Media Converter (available in the App store), and converted it to an h.264 file (then later to a .mov file, and then to an .mpg). I could view the file, and work with it in projects, but any project I tried to output with any version of said file, would result in the afor mentioned message, with the same results in FCPX (and Compressor 4 as well).  I tried multiple frame rates, resolutions, files types, re-converting the file, all with no luck.  My impression from said experiments, and reading other discussions was that it was a corrupt file. 
    Then I got frisky...and a little desperate. I brought the converted file (the .wmv to .mov) into Motion 4... and an export worked first try.  So I exported a pro-res file from Motion 4, and used that file in the already built Motion 5 project, and voila! 
    So, who knows what that means in real terms, as for the whats and whys.
