Audio square image on monitor, unable to remove

Since a few weeks there is appearing a large square transparent audio volume image on my monitor, that cannot be removed. It appears above every document or image I'm working in, in the middle of the screen. I tried everything to get it removed in system preferences, removing caches, restarting, using anti virus software and everything else I could think of. Without result.
I work already more than 30 years with Macs, I know all the ins and outs and the software too. Never had this before, so I think maybe its a Trojan horse but I cannot find it.
Please, if anybody knows a solution, HELP!

Hi Ramon,
thanks for your fast answer, this is the image
But.... maybe I 'solved' it for the moment, at least I hope so. At this moment it disappeared, but last week it disappeared also for 2 days ant then it re-appeared. So, I have to wait and see.
I disconnected all audio and headphone now from the apple and then it disappeared. But that means I can only listen to build-in audio and that's not the best quality. So once, I have to connect that again.
What is strange also, when this square appears, it's not possible to change the sound volume.
So last week I had to work with constant sound I didn't want to hear from my Mac. When it disappeared, I moved sound volume to  'off'. When it re-appeared again, It wasn't possible anymore to put the sound on 'On'.
Each time when I wanted to change it, it automatically ran back to start position.
It has also influence to my other programs. It's not possible to work with more than 1 program at the same time. So I have to quit before I can work with another program. Closing a file isn't enough.
Nor can I select with my mouse more than 1 file at the same time, for example in Mail to throw away.
This never happened before, so I still think there is a trojan horse or the updates from mac software have something to do with it, because that's the only thing that has changed.

  • Unable To Remove An Image From An Album - Sometimes

    I have a project containing approximately 2900 images (masters plus versions). I have defined 8 albums and moved various images to each. I am able to select one or more pictures in any of the albums. For simplicity lets assume that I have a single image selected and I want to remove it from the album it is in. I go to the Image menu. About one-third of the time the "remove from album" option is enabled, and when it is I am able to delete the image either by selecting the Image option or using the Delete key. However, the other two-thirds of the time The "remove from album" is grayed out and even using the Delete key does not remove the selected image.
    One interesting behavior I have observed. If I find an image I am unable to delete, I can first select an image I KNOW can be removed, duplicate it, the select just the replicant plus the image I wanted to remove originally and now BOTH images can be deleted (the "remove from album" option is available).

    I'm having the same kind of problem and it's driving me nuts! Most of my problems have arisen from duplicate images imported when I did a mass import into Aperture from iPhoto. It brought in both the original image and the edited image, and I can't remove either from a given album! I will try your suggestion of duplicating a cooperative image first and using it as the "seed" for deletion.

  • URGENT - How accurate is Audio Synch on Computer Monitor?

    Hi,
    Due the temporary lack of Digital-to-Analog convertor for my Blackmagic HDLink card, I've been unable to monitor audio while watching video on my external monitor. So instead I've been watching the computer monitor, and listening thru built-in audio.
    (I should explain that I am listening to a mixed down audio track, so I dont have the original audio clips in the timeline to see the synch indicators. I'm doing this all by eye and ear)
    I have a two-beep at the beginning of the long sequence, which I SEE and HEAR at the same time. But I've been told by someone I trust not to trust the synch using this method. My sequence is 83min if that makes any difference.
    The reason this came up is that after adjusting the synch on a bunch of shots a few weeks ago, I went back and checked them again and they are off a few frames....
    I've got a M-Audio Flying Cow Digital to Analog convertor on the way, but the meatime am borrowing a Home Theatre amp with Digial In that should allow me to monitor from the Decklink, but would really like to know if all my synch work is unreliable.
    thank you !!!

    Mathew,
    You shouldn't have a problem using built-in audio if you're monitoring on the computer monitor. Built-in is low enough latency that it shouldn't matter. As you say, they appear to be in sync. If you were monitoring video through your Decklink, and audio through the built-in, then I would suspect a problem because the video D to A conversion introduces video latency.
    Why a sequence would go a bit out of sync a few weeks later after making no changes is a mystery. Unless you changed something else in your system that could have changed the buffer settings for built-in audio? Just a longshot.

    Hi,
    I am getting a warning message on screen, saying that myiPad hasn't been backed up to iCloud for two weeks, and advising under what circumstances the message appears. My problem is, is that I have backed it up, but am unable to remove the message, and whilst the message is there, the iPad is frozen, and I cannot do anything.
    Has any other user had such a problem, and if so, how did they rectify it.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Try this.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up

  • Unable to remove this item from GRIR.  It was a consignment PO receipt done

    Hi Guys,
    The user saying that"unable to remove this item from GRIR.  It was a consignment PO receipt done improperly, so it needs to be deleted".
    Because of this the the material documet which shows $6725.43-(Negative) in GRIR account.when i check this this transation was originated through MI10(Physical inventory differenvces posting).May be user done wrongly.
    Now the problem is this

    -          How do we correct the open item in the GR/IR account?

    09930154536

    Hi Jurgen,
    when i check the material document and accounting document,it was showing that said amount in negative sign and transaction done by MI10 means posted differences with out reference to document.
    it means the user may entered wrongly i think.
    was there any GRIR account for MI10?
    MI10 does not have reversal or cancel?
    so how to resolve it?
    as per my idea it can be done by FI posting.
    please help to resolve.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Unable to remove a host from VMM - Error (2606) Unable to perform the job because one or more of the selected objects are locked by another job.

    I am unable to remove a host from my Virtual Machine Manager 2012 R2. I receive the following error:
    Error (2606)
    Unable to perform the job because one or more of the selected objects are locked by another job.
    Recommended Action
    To find out which job is locking the object, in the Jobs view, group by Status, and find the running or canceling job for the object. When the job is complete, try again.
    I have already tried running the following command in SQL Server Management Studio
    SELECT * FROM [VirtualManagerDB].[dbo].[tbl_VMM_Lock] where TaskID='Task_GUID'
    I received this error back:
    Msg 8169, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
    Conversion failed when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier.
    I have also tried rebooting both the host and the Virtual Machine Manager Server.  After rebooting them both, I still receive the same error when trying to remove the host.
    Here are my server details
    VMM Server OS = Windows 2012 Standard
    VMM Version = 2012 R2 3.2.7510.0
    Host OS = Windows 2012 R2 Datacenter
    Host Agent Version = 3.2.75.10.0
    SQL Server OS = Windows 2012 Datacenter
    SQL Version = 2012 SP 1 (11.0.3000.0)

    Hi there,
    How many hosts are you managing with your VMM server?
    The locking job might be the background host refresher job. Did you see any jobs in the jobs view, when the host removal job failed?
    If there is no active jobs in the jobs view when this host removal job fails, can you please turn on the VMM tracing, retry the host removal, and paste back the traces for the failed job (search for exception and paste the whole stack)?
    Thanks!

  • Unable to remove/change sales tax in sales order

    Hi Sappers!!
    I are unable to remove sales tax from a sales order.  I have tried to update the sales order by clicking on Header>Conditions Tab>Update-->Double click on G to redetermine the taxes.
    The sales order was entered the same day the Vertex record was input.
    Appreciate your pointers and time!!

    Hi,
    If you want to remove the sales tax from sales order,
    first of all  goto FTXP, give the country, for which you want to change the tax code percentage, and give the tax code and press enter, there it will show existing the tax percentage for that condition type (say earlier it was 10%). Now you want to make it 0% then remove 10 and put it as 0 and save it.
    Next goto condition record VK12 maintaine new tax percentage which you want to change. Like earlier 10% was there but you want to make it as 0%, then maintaine in VK12 tax condition record.
    Now goto your sale order in change mode VA02, and update the procedure using G, then the new tax willbe reflected i.e., 0% will come.
    Hope this is clear

  • Unable to remove Workforce Planning formulae in Planning 9.3.1.1.16

    Hi All,
    We are on using Planning 9.3.1.1.16 and are unable to remove member formulae from Planning.
    Our Planning application is EPMA (9.3.1.3) enabled. When refreshing the Planning application we receive the following error:
    Error [1200497] detected in member formula for member "Regular Headcount".
    Error [1200497] detected in member formula for member "Departed Headcount".
    Error [1200497] detected in member formula for member "LOA Headcount".
    Error [1200497] detected in member formula for member "Maternity Headcount".
    Error [1200497] detected in member formula for member "On Sabbatical Headcount".
    Error [1200497] detected in member formula for member "Contractor Headcount".
    Error [1200497] detected in member formula for member "Temporary Headcount".
    Error [1200497] detected in member formula for member "Other Headcount".
    Error [1200497] detected in member formula for member "Turnover Headcount Adjustment".
    Error [1200497] detected in member formula for member "Regular FTE".
    Error [1200497] detected in member formula for member "Contractor FTE".
    Error [1200497] detected in member formula for member "Temporary FTE".
    Error [1200497] detected in member formula for member "Other FTE".
    Error [1200497] detected in member formula for member "Turnover Adjustment".
    STEPS TO REPRODUCE :
    -In EPMA Master Library, remove the formulae for the above members and save the changes every time
    - In Planning remove the member formulae for the above members (EDIT_DIM_ENABLED set to TRUE). This step may not be required however I tested it and was able to reproduce the issue
    - Deploy the EPMA applicatoin. Deployment is successful
    - Refresh Planning app. Refresh is successful
    - Now change any property for any of the above members in EPMA. For example add an alias of Turnover Adj to the "Turnover Adjustment" member and save.
    - Deploy the EPMA app => Successful
    - Refresh Planning app=> Fails with same above error
    Observation: The member formulae are back in Planning not EPMA. It looks like edit workforce members somehow causes the formulae to reappear in Planning.
    Has anyone come across this issue?
    Thanks for your help.
    Seb

    Just in case anyone has a similar issue...
    Thsi was reported as bug #7411035 (ie: Character Limit for Member Formulas ). Details from Oracle Dev below:
    The character limit was 2000 causing longer member formulas to fail during an application deployment. An underlying bug was found during investigation of the member formula limit and we think this is the cause of your particular issue. The problem was with empty member formula string. During the deployment process there are EAS side checks. EAS will only accept a member formula if it contains at least one character(length > 0), else the formula
    field is rejected in the deployment XML file.
    The script below copy the member formula to a different table and then delete the original. So it is quite a destructive query to run.
    Prior to executing the query, a full EPMA/Planning applications backup should be performed (including essbase side) and the EPMA Dimension Server services (particularly the Process Manager) should be stopped.

  • Despite my best efforts, I am unable to remove iTunes 11.1.4 from my PC, this being made necessary because the original installation had a flaw and did not load properly. Effor to use the control panel, deleting dll. files, etc. all failed. iTune out??

    Despite my best efforts, I am unable to remove iTunes 11.1.4 from my PC, this being made necessary because the original installation had a flaw and did not load properly. Effor to use the control panel, deleting dll. files, etc. all failed. And, of course, on startup, a window opens with the error and tells me find QTMovie.dll and delete it because this may be the source of the hangup. Also, in trying to delete iTunes, I get the additional message that I must get approval from the System Administrator to take this action. I am the System Administrator.

  • Error message :mail unable to remove deleted messages in the mailbox

    Hi,
    I am frequently getting this error message: Mail was unable to remove the deleted messages in the mailbox (my email address) on server "mail.mac.com".
    The server error encountered was: Error MFMessageErrorDomain 1028
    Sometimes the error message says that time has logged out. The thing is, most of the time, even though I get the error message, the deleted messages are being removed. Once or twice, I had to delete a couple of messages a few times. I've been getting the error message several times a day for the last couple of days.
    If anyone can enlighten me about why this happens, I would appreciate it.
    Thanks

    Well guys, all of you who are having this problem, it appears as if no one in the know is interested in giving any insight into why this happens. As of now, I haven't gotten the error message for a couple of days, so maybe it's something which resolved itself, something with the server. I would still like to know why this happens, and I wish those of you who still are having the problem could get some answers. It it's possible, go to an Apple Retail store, and see if you can talk to a genius about this issue.
