What is the little black gauge on the upper left of the desktop?

What is the little black gauge on the upper left of the desktop? I just received my Omni 10 and set it up today. The screen (desktop) has this stupid black bar (gauge) on it that reads 100. I cannot move it, close it, or figure out what it does. Can any one help?
Thanks.. sometimes we old guys are a little slower to learn new stuff

I spotted your request when it was 1st posted, but I haven't experienced the 'phenomenon' myself so I've been waiting for someone who had, to post a fix — possibly saving you from some troubleshooting steps...
If you've already found a solution, updating your original post might help steer others to that solution in the future. On the other hand, we can proceed to trying a few things to narrow-down what's causing that "stupid black" blight on your tablet's screen:
Right-off, regardless of the cause — just shutting-down then restarting your tablet may correct the issue; if the bar persists after that, you might check via Task Manager to identify a likely suspect under Startup items. Your description suggests a battery gadget or an app which uses the built-in microphone displaying the mic's sensitivity setting — possibly Skype or other 'social media' software.

What's the "Desktop" folder on empty disk partitions there for?

I notice the extra (empty) partitions I've created on my hard drive each have a "Desktop" folder on them.
But when I put something in there, it doesn't appear on the visible Desktop... So what's up with that folder?
With OS9 the visible Desktop was shared by all the mounted disks -- if you had a file on another drive, you could just drag it (its icon) to the Desktop (without copying it).
Seems there are many reasons to definitely not ever partition a hard drive with OSX.

I notice the extra (empty) partitions I've created on my hard drive each have a "Desktop" folder on themAFAIK it is meaningless. You can delete them and I have. Or, save your files outside of the desktop folder.
If you had a file on another drive, you could just drag it (its icon) to the Desktop (without copying it).If you wish to copy the file drag it. If you wish to move it then command-drag it.

What causes the desktop menus to freeze and webpage to keep opening without an internet connection?

A problem this time with my other Mac Mini: the Apple community page that I was on I shrunk down and got on with other things on my Mac Mini. Then I stopped to eat and disconnected from the internet. I called up Safari to close it down but this page won't go away and it won't let me access any other app or the menu options!!! I try rebooting that doesn't work. I try loading the OSX install disk and that doesn't do anything, it just goes straight back to the same stupid webpage again trying to connect, but even when I put in a patch cable connection to the router it still freezes. Is my only option now to take the hardisk out and connect externally to the first Mac Mini and load its install disk then reformat the hardisk I've just taken out?!

Hmmm, try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)

What are the little Black spots on a DVD-R (RW)?

I am starting to notice a number of very small black spots appearing under the clear plastic layer of my burned discs. They are mostly located on my DVD-RW discs, but I am spotting them on some of my DVD-R discs too. I don't seem to see it on any of my burned CD-R or CD-RW discs. I am using only Sony DVD-R and Sony DVD-RW discs and seeing these annoying spots.
It also seems that some of the DVD-RW discs that have a lot of this spotting are having problems transfering files/documents from these discs. Many times the disc files are completely useless.
The DVD discs I am refering to have only been burned for about 4 years now, and the DVD-RW's maybe reburned four -six times each at best (less in most cases). The DVD's have been stored in their jewel cases (vertically) on bookcase shelves, in a normal house setting for their entire life.
I am concerned that burning any type of disc (mostly DVD or DVD-RW's) are no longer considered SAFE for even a short limited time, more less the 100 year period most manufacturers say is their lifetime.
I have important graphic files that are being un-recoverable due to these bad discs.
Is this something the entire DVD/CD burning community should be talking more and more about? I see very little discussion, on google, of what is causing this black spotting on burned DVD's.
Any discussions would be appreciated here.

am sorry to tell you that you have just expierianced the problem caused by the use of BAD MEDIA.
As pointed out in the other post counterfit and poor quality media has been a problem for some.
I suggest 2 things. Be very picky about the media you buy, and where you buy it from. I also opt to buy media in the individual jewel cases because there much better quality.
I use this as a guide.
http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm
I also personally opt to use DVD-R Media if for no other reason it is the most widely recognised and used on both computers and players. And be aware that the speed of the media you purchase can also be a problem. read the packaging and make sure you select media that your burner is capable of using.
Some of the newest media that is 16X will burn at 1X 2X 4X 8X and 16X. But, be sure to read and make sure, Not all of them do.

One last tip, You really only need to post this one time in the area that covers your computer.

How can i scroll vertically without the little black box?

Hello,
I need to review alot of pdf documents with adobe reader 9.0 or acrobat pro, and i need to be able to move forward and backward fast alot using both the mouse wheel and the scroll bar. I'm having a problem with this.
When i click "show one page at a time"-button and I use the scroll bar in the right, reader doesnt scroll the through the pages, but instead shows an idiotic little black box on the right thats too small to see pretty much anything from.
If i use the "scroll through pages continuously"-button, the scroll bar works normally, but the mouse wheel works too slow.
Using the reader in either way feels like running with a ball and chain in my leg, and I do really believe im not the only one.
Despite of hours of searching, trial and error I've somehow managed to miss how to remove that black pop-up-thing and scroll normally, when using the "show one page at time".
Please tell me I can scroll normally with scroll bar while being able to move fast with the wheel, and how do I do it?

Thanks.
What i mean in brief:
In adobe reader you cannot live-scroll with the scroll bar when using the "show one page at a time" setting, but instead it shows a little thumbnail-window on the right. The other setting makes mouse wheel too slow to be useful.
A scroll bar that doesn't live-scroll is probably one of the most horrible "features" you can have in a program. Since it's in a program as common as adobe reader, im guessing there's alot of frustrated googling going on about it.No answers around though.

What are the little red squares on the lower left hand corner of a movieclip in the actions panel?

What do the little red squares on the lower left hand corner of the movieclips in the actions panel mean? [Fig. 1]
I'm working off this template in Flash CS3, that's using ActionScript 2.0 actually.
I don't know whether or not that means anything in regards to the above inquire?
Again, any help is appreciated.
Fig.1

OK, I think I might have figured this out.
First. You guys keep insisting it's the Movie Explorer. It is not. It is the Actions Panel. You can see for yourself. Option+F9 opens the Actions Panel. Option+F3 opens the 'Explorer Window'. They are similar in appearance but they're not the same thing. They're just not.
Second. I believe that the red dots on the movieclips, and also buttons, indicates when there is actionscript directly on the movieclip and/or button, as oppose to actionscript written on a frame within a movie clip and/or button.
You really have to pay special attention to the top of the Actions Panel right next to where it says 'Actions' there's a dash '–' and then it says either 'Frame', 'Movie Clip', or 'Button'. This indicates exactly where you're about to write script to, or where you're reading the script from, so it's important to pay attention to this.
That left side pane, in the Actions Panel, is divided by 'Scene' and by 'Symbol Definition(s)' and it's confusing because it's possible to have a symbol appear more than once depening on where the actionscript is located (i.e. on a frame or on the movie clip or button itself).
For example if you have script on a FRAME within movie clip A, it'll appear in the SYMBOL DEFINITION(S) pane, without a red box, but if you were to write script on movie clip A itself, it would still not have the red box on it in the SYMBOL DEFINITION(S) pane, BUT it would appear again as movie clip A in the SCENE pane, and this time it would appear with the red box next to it, casue it now has actionscript directly on the movie clip itself. Wow, how confusing is that ha.
Keep in mind that if you made a movie clip B, within movie clip A, and if you placed actionscripts directly on movie clip B, NOT on a frame, then movie clip B would get a red box and appear UNDER movie clip A, within the SYMBOL DEFINITION(S) pane, NOT the SCENE pane. Ha.
If you wrote script on a FRAME within movie clip B it would appear in the SYMBOL DEFINITION(S) again, yes a second time, twice, but WITHOUT a red box. Confused yet? ha.
I don't know why Flash decided to do it this way. But it starts to make sense when you're actually viewing it, when it's in front of you. I think this is just for actionscript 2.0 (and for actionscript 1.0 presumably), but I don't think this is the case for ActionScript 3.0, because in as3 it's all instance name based, and targeting based, so there's no such thing as writing script directly onto a symbol of any kind, button, movie clip or otherwise.
But yeah, that's it in a nutshell.
Thanks for trying to help anyway.

Hi Fred,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

I have an iBook g4 14" 1.42 ghz. I recently installed a new hard drive. I put the install CD in. Then, I pressed the power button, then the "C" key. Black screen and No chiming. Please tell me, what I can do to resolve this? What is the problem with it?

Since it will not boot then a hardware test can't be run. You could try FireWire Target Disk Mode and if it works then access from another Mac to run tests on the new drive. You could also try installing the OS X software from the host computer. If this does not work then professional help should be considered.

Screen goes black.....I've tried everything!!! what's the problem???

went to verizon store (which turned out to be a "reseller store"...more on that later) for my "new every two" upgrade.....guy told me about the new samsung fascinate....he even told me i would actually be the first person to buy one from him.......probably after a week after purchasing the phone, i noticed that my screen would on occasion go black, and i could not get it to "wake up". the phone is still on.....when i touch the bottom icons, they light up white.....phone definitely still on.....phone can ring, and i can even answer it by sliding the puzzle piece in place (screen stays black, i just know where the piece is).
i took it to the store where i purchased it....same guy who sold me the phone says it is almost definitely from some sort of app and i should try deleting all my apps.....i told him i had searched the internet looking for some answers, and there were a few known issues with samsung fascinate blank screens......he said to delete the apps and see what happens. so like an idiot, i left hoping he would be correct. well i deleted all my apps when i got home.....didn't make a difference....still had the same problem.
a day or two later, i was near a regular verizon retailer.....went to tech specialist.....as i was with him, the phone had the "black screen of death".....he was puzzled by it.....he looked it up on the computer and he told me that it was a "known issue" that verizon was aware of. i then asked him if i could swap the phone for another phone as it was still within 30 days of my purchase.....he said he could not do that since i bought from a "reseller".....the official verizon stores would not honor the return of phones purchased from resellers and that i would have to go back through the reseller (this was frustrating news) he told me all about official verizon stores vs. the reseller stores.....he told me that the official verizon stores always have service technicians. i had assumed that since the store where i purchased the phone said verizon all over the front and even had verizon flags flying out front that it was a verizon store.....turns out it wasn't quite the same. the verizon tech also said that even if i had purchased the phone from the official retailer, they would NOT swap it with a new fascinate since it was a known issue. i would have to get something else.
after leaving the official verizon store, i went straight to the other store......told the salesman the whole story......he reset the phone for me. as i'm on the way home after the fresh reset....guess what.....same problem.....black screen of death.
so here i am again......{word filter avoidance}
is wrong with my phone? aside from the black screen, i really do like the phone, but at this point, i don't know what the problem is and my new phone is worthless. i'm heading back to the reseller again (for the third time now) and i guess i'll try to get another phone......i really like the fantasy, but i have no faith in it.
i have reset the phone 3 times now myself, i actually just did it the third time just before this post. i reset the phone, and screen went black within just a few minutes....can't get it back. phone is on.....i can hear a call and texts......what could the problem be????? i've tried everything noah suggested.....charger in and out....remove battery.....i've done all that....1,000 times. when the phone does actually wake up, it seems to be completely random as to when it happens.....there's NOTHING i can do to wake it up, and there's NOTHING i can do to stop it from crashing out.
PLEASE HELP!!!! i've removed battery.....reset.....removed all apps.....put on and off of charger.....my next move is to smash this {word filter avoidance}
into about 5,000 pieces.
ps - i've had a verizon cell phone for 16 years....i've never had a problem like this with a brand new phone. i hate to say it, but fascinate owners BEWARE. i can say with 100% certainty that i did not damage this phone.....and i did download some apps, but not that many, and they were all very highly rated and recommended....this should not have happened.
and also, i'm sure there are some great resellers out there, but from what the official verizon guy told me, you are definitely better off buying directly from verizon.

If you have not done a factory reset on the device, I recommend doing a complete factory reset.
Factory Reset - Warning this will reset device back to original factory settings.
This method will not erase any MDN/MIN information
Turn off the phone
Press Power + Volume Up/Down at the same time and hold until display will show a triage android screen
Display will show:
Reboot system Now
Apply sdcard:update.zip
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe Cache Partition
Use VOL Down key to scroll down to "Wipe Data/Factory Reset", press home icon to select option and wipe device.
Display shows "All user data will be wiped out", press VOLUME Up to continue or VOLUME Down to exit.
Press Volume Up
Press Home to select "Reset System Now" - device will reboot
If the problem persist I recommend having a store technician take a look at the device.

What is the provisioning feature in the settings under, general profile? It says something about "provisioning". What does that mean and what does it do?? (It's on my 5th generation iPod touch, black, iOS 6.1.3

What is the provisioning feature in the settings under, general>profile? It says something about "provisioning". What does that mean and what does it do?? (It's on my 5th generation iPod touch, black, iOS 6.1.3

A profile is used on iOS device to add specific settings and similar things to an iOS device. Tryically, they are added when the iOS devices is controlled by a company or school.
However, some apps install a profile. If your iPod is not controlled by a company or school then it seems an app added the profile. You can good the title if the profile and see if that gives any info.

Can I turn off the setting that displays the height and width in a little black box when using the marquee tool?

In Photoshop CC, on a mac...
When using the marquee selection tool, a little black box pops up next to the curser and displays in real time, the height and width of the selection. The same annoying box also appears when dragging an item with the move tool, displaying the numerical location of the cursor. Is there anyway to turn off the display of that little black box? It is driving me bonkers.

Under the preferences cmd/ctrl-k click on "Interface". At the bottom of the UI is a drop down box for show transformation. Set that to "Never"

The startup disk may need repairing ...
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If the disk needs repairing, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you can access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery to repair the startup disk.

What is the little Red 1 on the iCal icon in the Doc?

Uh...what is that little red 1 on the iCal icon in the doc when I open iCal...and how do I make it go away?
I'm sure a ridiculously simple answer is headed my way...Thanks

Moving Still,
That means that you have an event invitation. Click on the envelope icon in the bottom left corner of the iCal window to display the invitation and choose what to do with it.

What does the little circle with a line in it mean when in edit mode? how can I get rid of it?

What does a little circle with a line in it mean when I am trying to edit? how do I get rid of it?

robynlwitheridge
What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
From your description "little circle with a line in it", that sound like a symbol when you are trying to do a cannot do operation.
What exactly are you doing in your edit activities when you see this circle with a line in it? Is it at the end of the mouse cursor?
Can you post a screenshot of it?
If my first impression of what this is happens to be correct, then "How do I get rid of it?" answer comes from
a. defining what you want to do
and
b. correcting any mis-steps you are taking in doing that
We will be watching for your follow up.
Thanks.
