A narrow black bar with text in it telling me what I am doing, has appeared on my screen. Also, there's a voice over speaking the same thing. How can I get rid of it?

I was checking out some keyboard shortcuts when a black bar appeared with white letters repeating letters as i type. Then telling me where i am and what I'm doing. Also a voice over started, telling me what I was doing. How can I stop this and get rid of the black text bar? It even creates text boxes and things without asking. Help!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! This is the first time I've had a question and it was answered within the first click. Silly cat decided he wanted to play on my computer and turned on a bunch of weird stuff. Including this.

HT204053 I created a new apple id because the previous one no longer exists as email (domain had to be cancelled). I keep seeing the old one pop up in my iPhone for which I don't remember the password. How can I get rid of it???

I created a new apple id because the previous one no longer exists as an email (domain had to be cancelled). I keep seeing the old one pop up in my iPhone for which I don't remember the password. How can I get rid of it??? Or how can I reset the password if the email doesn't exist??? I also tried answering a question (my date of birth) but it says it's wrong.
I'm really frustrated with the apple id!!!
Frustrated!!!

In one of the help pages for managing your Apple ID (http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40), it shows two separate sections, one for Apple ID and one for Primary Email address. When I go to manage my Apple ID, I see only a single section for both. Can the two be 'separated', especially when you face the situation of having to discontinue your email address for some reason?
I also noticed that when navigating to Apple ID Support Communities, it shows my nickname 'dishdy'. How and when did I insert this? In the current sequence for creating an Apple ID I don't see this. In my current profile I don't see this.
In any case, I have freed myself from my previous Apple ID (@artemis.it) on my iPhone.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
According to your descriptioin, I don't think this is system problem, it should be Intel driver problem. It would be contact Intel to confirm this issue whether this is their driver problem.

Are you SURE you need to reinstall? Often people believe this but it rarely solves anything. Does a message say you must?

I switched my music to a new computer and all the music doubled how can I get rid of 4500 duplicates

I switched my music to a new computer and all the music doubled how can I get rid of 4500 duplicates songs? Will Music Match get rid of the extras for me?

The iPod is not a storage device, all songs should reside on a computer and you can only sync to one machine. However, if these songs were purchased from iTunes you can reload them (see link). If not, and you have no backup, then they are gone.

Clicking the Firefox icon is fine but if I open a new tab it seems Yahoo carries out the search. How can I get rid of Yahoo (not add-ons).

Clicking the Firefox icon to open it is fine but if I open a new tab (Control T) it seems Yahoo carries out the search. How can I get rid of Yahoo? It's not in Tools Add-ons or Extensions and Windows control panel doesn't show Yahoo either.
I must have downloaded something that smuggled Yahoo in, but what?

Undeletable e-mail in Mail - the latest! How can I get rid of it?

Following my recent posts about an undeletable e-mail received as undeliverable mail (I never sent it in the first place so it's obviously coming from a virused address book) I now have 13 copies of an identical e-mail which won't go away. My Mac says they're junk, but they're in the inbox and when I move them manually, they leave the inbox but don't appear in the junk. Once I return to the inbox, there they are again - with one more copy. There is no visible body, just a header stating:
"Subject: A hacker can access a public web site linked to an internal distributed file system and gain access to company and customer files."
I recently went to a PC forum for help and when I copied and pasted the header onto their forum , a green link appeared under the words "web site" taking me to a site "zimki.com" with whom I have never dealt.
How can I get rid of these self-generating e-mails?
Incidentally this message is not on my server as web mail access was used to delete it, so it only appears on the Mac.

Yes I did repost, as the original problem - a huge e-mail downloading - proved not to be the case so this is a more accurate description of the problem in the hope that I can get a more accurate solution.
I used the edit/ cut solution (thank you!) which removed the e-mails from my inbox, but they're now back with a vengeance including about twenty copies of one entitled "fez" (a virus maybe?) - I now have two of every e-mail downloading; my Mac tells me this fez message is junk but now adds that "You need to take this account on-line to download this message" - except the download in progress wheel keeps going on, and on, and on....and the new messages in my inbox (I now have two or three variations on the original theme) won't go anywhere except by edit / cut.
I'm tearing my hair out!!!
I've just erased all the messages by webmail, 52 messages, so it appears my Mac is also no longer automatically erasing the messages on the server after download even though the box for this is ticked.

What is "other" listed on my iPhone 4S and why is it sucking up so much storage space? How can I get rid of it?

How can I get rid of the huge "other" listed on my storage of my iPhone? It's taking up huge gigs. This phone is not even 60 days old!

This worked for me with iPhone 5:
Backup iPhone in iTunes
in iPhone>Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and Settings
in iTunes> Restore iPhone with previous Backup (point 1)
There is no need to reset the iPhone with iTunes and no need to manually resync apps and content.
You will have your "new" iPhone with all your apps, settings and media just like before
with only a mere 500 mb (0,5gb) of "other" memory.

There are so many add-ons now that do the same thing, how can I tell the full features of an add-on compared to the others. I know I have way to many of the same and need to get rid of the unwanted ones?

can we get a side by side comparison of the add-ons. How can I tell Ive got 2 or even 3 add-ons that do the same thing? and how can I pick the best one for my needs so I can uninstall all the others?

I mutled through best I could but I know I still have duplicate apps, different names, but same functions. One last thing is why do I keep getting 2-3 times a day that firefox needs a major update? I let it go through its motions but then that same msg pops up again a few hours later

I can't open any app when I turn the computer on. Mouse has batteries and the screen freezes on 1 app (BBCiplayer) , which obviously is the cause. How can I get rid of this app?

When I turn on the iMac the screen and apps appear as always. However there is 1 app ( BBC iplayer Desktop) which seems to freeze everything. The mouse works OK but when I click on any app or on the apple logo, nothing happens. I can't even turn it off. What should I do?

Thanks very much for this answer. I'll try now but just want to check a couple of things before going ahead. I understand that I should do the following:
- turn off at back with the power button.
- turn on again and as soon as the start up tone sounds I press the shift ket ( the arrow key on left?).
- release key when the GREY PROGRESS BAR appears.
THEN follow noondaywitches instructions:
Then go to System Preferences > Accounts > login Items and remove the iPlayer launcher.
Then restart as normal from the Apple menu.
I've edited your post to clarify what you need to do.
Assuming it starts up correctly and normal service is resumed you may then want to permanently delete BBC iPlayer (there's nothing worth watching anyway )
