A moving yellow box on Ipad screen

Hello,
Suddenly when using my Ipad, I got a yellow box on my screen that moved from one place to an other.
It always 'marks' action points such as the bottom apps, or the search tool.
It starts every time I open an APP and stops when it has highligted every feater of it..
How can I stop this ?
Grtz

Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Switch Control and turn this OFF.

I go to "clip adjustments" and change the length of a photo. It reverts back to original length. I also shorten it by moving the yellow "box" around a specific clip. It still reverts back to original length. Why?

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?

Yellow boxes within excel sheet on iPad

When I send an email with an excel sheet attached and I open it on my iPad (others have the same issue) it has yellow boxes in it. How can we get rid of them? It is blocking some data. I have checked formatting, comments and nothing seems to remove them.

You can try converting the top row to a Header Row and the leftmost column to a Header Column.

PS Elements 6 moved editing box off screen

I was adjusting brightness and moved the brightness editing box off the screen. Now I can't get it back to close and all the menu items are greyed out so I can't save or close anything. Anyone have any ideas. I don't want to lose 2 hrs. editing.

Try changing the resolution of your screen to a higher setting. That should make every thing on the screen smaller but it may also allow you to see the 'lost' pallette.

After update the latest iOS 4 my ipad screen sometimes continues moving

Why after update the latest iOS 4.3, my ipad screen sometimes continues moving and hard to chose or touch the keyboard or icon?

I have the exact same issue. The screen moves up and down just a little so the bars in the top left hand corner are almost hidden. And pressing icons does not work at times. Pressing buttons inside open apps does not work at times or takes forever to execute the command. Also, some apps freeze or open and then suddenly close. I updated all my apps to determine if the cause was an app that is not compatible with the new operating system. This did not work. Is there a way to update again? Could the problem be that the update was corrupted in some way? Any suggestions would be appreciated. It did not happen with my iPhone when I installed the update.

HT4097 Ipad screen has moving lines on it and is unresponsive

I have the 3rd generation Ipad with iOS 6 on it. I was using it yesterday when i closed my case, and left it for about 10 minuets. When i came back and opened my case, the screen was completley messed up! It has moving lines all over the screen that are a mixture of white, and grey. then it has an even darker moving pixel going across top top of my Ipad, about one inch from the top to be exact. the Ipad will lock and unlock using the top button, but thats all it does. The ipad will also not power off easily. The only thing close to it turing off was when i did a hard shut down and held the home button and the lock button at the same time, but after the screen turns off and i let go of the buttons, the ipad turns back on and goes back to the same lines everywhere.
I purchased the ipad about 3 months ago and this is the first problem i have had. I have NEVER dropped it and the case i use is an Apple smart cover that uses a magnet to stay connected to the Ipad. I have also tried putting it in recovery mode and wiping my Ipad but have had no luck with any change. Please someone help me and figure out what i need to do.

I hope someone can help as I have the same problem with my iPad!

My iPad screen is totally frozen with a message box asking me to go to photo stream settings but when either option (ignore or settings) is selected nothing happens. I can't turn off the device either because the screen won't respond. Help please

Powerbook Al 1.25GHz screen shows yellow boxes/lines

My five year old AlPB recently started showing yellow lines/boxes on the screen. The first time it happened I was in safari and quitting fixed the problem, it then happened later that day and quitting didn't fix anything. i rebooted twice with no luck, then booted up with leopard DVD and it was fixed. A week later the same thing happened and after multiple reboots nothing fixed it. I reset the PRAM and no luck. Then i ran the hardware test and halfway through the test while it was checking the RAM it fixed its self and everything passed the test. However after waking it from sleep twice it has again showed these lines/boxes (but now only in the finder not in other applications) and a restart has resolved the issue. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this. I took a screenshot and the picture contained the lines indicating that it is a hardware problem not the LCD. Thanks for you help.

From what I gather, there is a whole slew of us with all the same problem whether its single lines that multiply as time goes by or for us earlier ALPB owners, we get a whole screen full of intermittent checkered patterns, but since these machines are all a couple years old and out of warranty I am pretty sure Apple is not going to be much help. They'd rather us dip into our pockets and buy new computers than to spend some big bucks themselves and stand behind their products.
The only good news is that if you are handy enough to disassemble the machine and send only the logic board to a reputable lab, they can re-solder the video chip back in place and this solves the problem for about $60 to $100. This seems to be better than dishing out anywhere between $250 to $700 for a new logic board, which runs the risk of having the same defect 2 to 3 years down the road since they don't seem to have been built right the first time.
If you want to know if you have the exact same problem that most of us all have, then press on the case above the track pad or from the bottom in about the same area. Not hard, but just enough to flex the logic board a little inside. You will notice that it temporarily fixes the problem, but don't get too happy. Working that lose video chip back and forth only worsens the problem, so soon you it will be to a point where it will only help if you constantly hold pressure in a key spot which is unique to each PB.
It's too bad though. I was just beginning to really think Apple was different.

Brand New iPad 3 has a jiggly screen and black boxes across the screen in different apps

My mother purchased a brand new iPad 3 about 1 week ago. The screen has begun to shake while she is in the apps. (This is not the shaking that icons do on when you hold an app down so you can rearrange.) When this happens the screen will go blank when her hand is near it and reappear when she moves it away. Also, in some apps, I have experienced this in the App Store and Facebook, black boxes cover the screen so that you cannot see what is behind them.
We have tried shutting it down completely, but that doesn't seem to be a fix.
I have been searching for others with this problem and haven't found any. Help would be appreciated. Given the sporadic nature (but often enough to be a bother), I'm hesitant to go to the Genius Bar for fear it wouldn't do it then.

I've had the same problem with Big Black squares covering the screen. And a few times the screen has split vertical in the middle and pushed everything in the on half a little down, making it very difficult to read text as the lines was cut in half.
I first experienced it in Mail, and then in Safari. I noticed that it is only covering content, not the App bar and When I scrolled down, the boxes were staying On the spot On the page. I figure it must be a software problem as it moves alting with the rest of the content, so I tried uenig Chrome instead, but yesterday the same ting happened.
I have tryed to take a screen dump, but it gets completely black
Its not warm When the problem occours.
Anyone with a solution?

Yellow-boxed screen tips

I would be much obliged if someone could tell me how to turn off the little yellow boxes of screen tips that appear when the cursor lands on particular objects on the screen.
G4 (Quicksilver) Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
those are called "tooltips".
their existence depends on the application that you
see them in. for example, it is simple to turn them
off in, e.g., GraphicConverter, as there's a
preference checkbox just for that. for other apps,
such a simple solution might not exist.
also, for e.g. Safari, it may be the site's HTML
that's defining the tool-tips (using the ALT tag in
their site's code) so of course there's no way to
disable those...
if you post more details on which apps you most
commonly see the tooltips in, more specific
suggestions might be possible... cheers
Thank you for your response; now you've given me the actual name for those ghastly little devils that block, obscure, hide, and otherwise greatly annoy...
So, let's start with Mac Mail: How do I axe them from this application?
Again, much obliged!

My ipad screen is black and will not reset and does not come back after restoring, the info is still on internal because i can see it on itunes in the apps catagory it's the display is not working, can see backlight but black...does anyone know how to fix

my ipad screen is black and will not reset and does not come back after restoring, the info is still on internal because i can see it on itunes in the apps catagory it's the display is not working, can see backlight but black...does anyone know how to fix, other than take it to apple.
thanks!

The wish list only works on apps you have to pay for. To get it tap the icon of the app you want to save. After it opens at the upper right corner is a box with a arrow. Tap that then tap add to wish list list in the box that opens.

Quite often when I plug in my iPad 2, iTunes goes to the "Set Up Your iPad" screen and makes me restore it. Any way to stop this?

I have had my iPad 2 since the start of June 2011. There are a lot of times when it works great, but I have had trouble sometimes when I sync. Prior problems were with SQLite3.dll, but got help copying that file to the right place. I have also completely uninstalled and re-installed iTunes. However, my biggest problem is that sometimes when I plug it in to sync with iTunes, it automatically goes to the "Set Up Your iPad" screen. It only allows me to set it up as a new iPad, or restore it from a backup. This is happening more and more. So much so that everytime I plug it in and it actually does work, before disconnecting I will right click on the iPad on the left hand bar and do a backup. This is really starting to get on my nerves. I'm not doing anything out of the ordinary with my iPad. Just playing some games and having a few other apps. It's so hard when playing some games like Angry Birds, getting 3 stars in all levels, only to plug the iPad in again to sync and have to restore it and lose all progress! Does anyone know why it goes to this screen? It doesn't happen all the time, but I'd say once every 4 times I connect. Also, I'm using Windows 7, and yes, all windows updates are done, and iTunes always is on the most up-to-date version. Thanks for any help!

Normally, I would suggest restoring the iPad and uninstall and reinstall iTunes but you have done both of those things - more times than you ever imagined!
Have you thought about turning auto syncing off?
Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
If you do this you can backup the iPad right away before it syncs. You may want to go into all of the iTunes tabs and just make sure that all of the current content on the iPad is selected to sync before you actually do sync.
This doesn't solve the problem, but it would prevent the automatic sync and erasing content. Hopefully, in the next few days- when iOS 5 is released - you will also be relieved of this weird iPad behavior - since the iOS devices are supposed to become PC free.
BTW - and this is no excuse for what you are experiencing, but I have found that some of the game apps that I had on my iPad turned out to be quite troublesome and after I removed them, my problems went away. I know that is almost sacrilege with regard to the Angry Birds addiction .... But I'm just saying ...
