Black box (line) surrounds and follows mouse, 'mini' screen size, PIP?

Hi,
I just tried to install the new wireless mighty mouse and wireless apple keyboard.
The mouse worked for a minute, but the install of the keyboard killed the BT mouse and now there's this ANNOYING black box around the mouse cursor.
After playing with it I've noticed that the pointer cursor, which is surrounded by this box (4:3 ratio box, approx 2" wide by 1.5" tall on my 20" 1600x1200 monitor).
The odd thing is the cursor's position within this box moves in correlation with where on my overall desktop the cursor is placed: If I put my cursor in the upper right corner of my whole screen, the mouse cursor is also in the upper right corner of the small 'box'; if I move it to the lower left of the screen, it is also in the lower left of the box, and so on for the other two corners, and if it's in the middle of the screen, it's in the middel of the little black box.
So this seems very strange.
Oh, and neither the BT keyboards or the new mighty mouse BT will show up in the BT menu as recognized devices, though they did just briefly in the beginning.
So after buying a new USB hub to be able to plug in the Apple/Belkin USB hub along with the Apple store's D-Link USB Bluetooth adapter and a new BT keyboard and mouse - $200 for a wireless keyboard and mouse, all I have is ultra annoying new software problems and all the same wires as before, with an additional keyboard and mouse on my desk. UGH!!!
Can anyone help with this 'black box around the keyboard issue, at least?
Thank you soo, so much for any solutions!

Oh and this weren't enough my barely used video ipod video 60 GB self-distructed this AM - melted inside somehow. I am in Apple ****.

GREEN STAR FOR YOU!
Of all the things - somehow, and I've never even been into this control panel, inside the Universal Access/Seeing/Options dialogue, the box was checked saying "Show preview rectangle when zoomed out".
I unchecked this, and it went away. I had not selected this, ever. How it happened, I don't know except that I do have a Logitech NuLOOQ tooldial device which I had unplugged from USB while troubleshooting my BT wireless keyboard and mouse, and this device requires having the 'enable access for assistive devices' checked in the Universal Access control panel.
Perhaps unplugging that device somehow lead to this problem, but otherwise I've never 'visited' the UA pref panel or checked anything in it.
Odd, but THANK YOU for the suggestion!!!

one of first versions of macbook air with black horizontal lines on bottom one third of screen and vertical line also one third of left side of screen

Hi
I've recently notice I have a thin black line in my screen.. I went to Apple store and was told it’s a hardware problem (400$+ to fix as no warranty).
This is the second time I’m having hardware screen issues with a Macbook Air (last time it was 3 months after I bought it, and it was replaced with this one)
Looks like the Macbook Air screens are very problematic! Anyone experience something like that?
Thanks,
Eyal.

Strange... Black boxes around buttons and files

Anyone seen this issue or know how to fix it?
Sometime last week, black boxes started appearaing around files or folders on my desktop, buttons in the finder, and file names in open windows. It is always one box at a time (whatever I select or mouse over.)
The box is 2-3 pixels thick and has a white stroke around it. It's not effecting performance, but it is really anoying.
Thanks in advance!

Ugh, sounds like your video card may be going.
If you create a new, clean & fresh account and log in, do you get the same thing?

My ipad displays a black box around icons and isn't scrolling properly. I have turned it off then back on, which is the extent of my limited knowledge.

I was trying to get it to airprint to my supposedly supported HP eprint printer, but was having no luck. After trying to follow the online instructions on the HP website, it told me to turn it off wait 30 secs then turn it back on(along with the other devices but thats not my issue now) When I turned it back on it has a black box around all icons, I have to "double click" to get anything to open, and is not scrolling properly. I have turned it off and back on again, no change.

i am expereincing this problem....what was the solution??

Computer as 'black box' between contoller and device

Hallo,
I am trying to develop some sort of 'computer black box' (a computer
with a GPIB - board and some software) to catch all GPIB commands
from a controller to a device and back.
The commands from the controller must be interpreted by the 'black box'
and then send to the device - and the other way around.
Has anybody some ideas how to do this? I would be VERY happy to
get some sample code in c/c++.
Thanks in advance,
Carsten.
P.S.: My problem is that it seems that I have 2 contoller on the bus at some
time which causes problems.

Yes, this can, and HAS been done! Admittedly, this is an ADVANCED GPIB
application!
WHY would you want to do this? You may need to have the "black box computer"
translate GPIB commands originally intended for one instrument, so you can use a
newer replacement instrument. It may be the case that the original source code
and/or developement software tools are no longer available. (Think old,
military projects.)
On the other hand, if you just need to log GPIB traffic, and pass it on, then
NI's GPIB+ Analyzer card is all you need.
But if you really need to modify the GPIB commands on the fly, then you need TWO
GPIB cards in the black box computer.
The first card is setup/programmed to NOT be a system controller, and board
level IBRD and IBWRT calls are made to receive and send GPIB messages with the
(main) GPIB controller. Just put the IBRD and IBWRT in a loop, and use a short
timeout, say .1 second. Most of the time, these will timeout. But when the
(main) controller sends a message, the IBRD won't timeout, and your program then
knows it has recieved a new GPIB message from the main controller. Likewise,
when you need to send a response back to the main controller, just keep calling
IBWRT until it doesn't time out, then you know the main controller received it.
The second GPIB would be setup/programmed in the normal way, as GPIB system
controller.
The application software running on the black box computer would recieve a GPIB
message on the first (talker/listener) GPIB, process it in some way, then send
it to the instrument on the second (controller) GPIB.
I myself wrote a program for Tektronix TLA700 logic analyzers that makes the NI
PCMCIA-GPIB controller card behave exactly like a GPIB Talker/Listner. The
program parses the received GPIB commands and executes them by making calls to
the TLA700 software. This program was written in VB6 and is available from
Tektronix.
(note: I no longer work for Tek...)
Good luck!

When i download adobe flash player a black box pops up and it doesn't work.

I have downloaded adobe flash player multiple times. I have a windows 7 hp laptop when it gets to the end of the download i click run and a black box appears and the flash player doesn't work. what should i do?

Hi albinaaa,
Thank you for confirming the drivers are up to date. I apologize for the confusion in terminology. We refer to the installer downloaded from get.adobe.com/flashplayer as the online installer because it is simply an installer shim, less than 2MB that then downloads and installs Flash Player silently. This requires users to be 'online' for the installation process to work. What we refer to as the offline installers are the full installers (roughly 15 - 18 MB) that you download and then install Flash Player, which does not require an internet connection as nothing is downloaded silently in the background during installation.
As I mentioned before, we have received these reports of the online installer displaying without text, however, we have not been able to reproduce, and therefore, the reason I asked you to try the offline installer, since we have not received these reports with the offline installer.

Black box around buttons and windows

My 19 month old daughter has learned to climb up to the desk, and OPEN my laptop! Before I could stop her, or turn on AlphaBaby, she had pressed a number of keys, and now a little black box highlights various things in the programs I have open. As I type this, the red circle at the top left to close the window has a box around it. When I was trying to find how to turn it off in system preferences, the bar at the top with the arrows and Show All button had a box around it. In Mail my inbox window has a box around it.
Any ideas as to how to turn it off?
Thanks!
Heidi

Your daughter shows great promise!
Go to System Preferences/Universal Access and turn OFF Voice Over.
(She pressed Command-F5 !)

When using iphoto I can view the photos but when I double click on a photo it becomes a black box with a white circle on the screen

When using iphoto, I can view the photos but when I double click on 1 specific photo it enlarges to a black box with a large white circle in it...doesn't matter which photo I click on the end result is the same...black box with a white circle.

Hello michelefox17
It's sounds like you may need to rebuild your iPhoto Library. The article below has the steps on how do that.

Anyone else have the black box of death with codes on your screen? (DVR)

I've manually reset and still get this black box with codes on my TV sceen. It blocks out 90% of the screen. I've also tried the online reset and they "cannot process" my request at this time! The code is <00815BAC> [DCE2]. It's definitely DVR-related - my non-DVR TVs work fine.
Anyone have any ideas what the problem is? (thanks)

Hello,
First, make sure that you have the latest Firmware updates installed. Refer to the article at:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117
This will list all the available firmware updates for each machine.
If you already have the latest firmware update installed, and are still having this problem, then I would suspect bad memory first.
Try removing any expanded memory you have installed (leaving the factory memory installed) and see what happens.
There were a lot of marginal memory modules sold before OS X was released.
Many of these modules would work perfectly fine, and then fail completely once you installed (or tried to install) OS X 10.0
This was a huge issue back then. Many people discovered that their memory modules were just slightly out of spec, and needed to be replaced with proper modules that were produced exactly to spec.
Perhaps this is what is going on with your system.
Since you have been using 9.2 on that machine, your expanded memory (if you have any) may be slightly out of spec, but was not noticed by OS 9.2.
Hope this helps.

When I was texting,suddenly screen went crazy colored lines appeared and locked in that screen,had hard time getting it back?

While texting my screen when to straight color lines across,and semed to lock in there.
I had been having problems. with the phone shutting down.completely and when to verizon store they did a soft reset .and got me back on line.by closeing some app I was not useing
And Battirie gose down fast...
This is my second phone whats can I do to get this fixed once and for all.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

I have a blue line appears and goes across the screen

I have two problems with my iPad not charging fully and blue stripe going across the screen

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

Limitation on po line items and follow on documents

Hi All,
Greetings..
Can any one let me know what is the cap limit for line items for an srm PO and even on the follow on documents.
Currently wer arein 4.0 and are facing problems with these issues upgrade is planned next month.
will this be an issue in SRM 7.0 also
Regards
Gopi

Hi
I dont think there is any cap limit for line items of a Purchase order in SRM. It must be something specific to your landscape. In that case , check what is developed to put a check on limit field in SRM 4.0.
You will then need to evaluate if that developmnet is impacted in SRM 7.0 or not

BOXI R2 Auditing and Performance Management Recommended Database Sizes

Hi,
We have a 8 node BOXI R2 Cluster which we want to enable Auditing and Performance Management. Could anyone recommend what the sizes of these two databases should be in GB? I have to request appropriate disk space from our SAN team, and the databases created with fixed sizes. Also, the databases will be Oracle DBs, if that is relevant.
Thanks!

The amount of space required for Audit DB will be determined by amount of auditing you're goinf to record. Auditing DB will grow quite significantly in a 8 node environment.
I'd start with 1gb and add space as necessary.
With PM DB - it's impossible to say how big it needs to be. It depends on amount of data you're going to put in there.

I have upgraded from 4 to 5s inserted the sim and followed the on screen instrutionsBUT i have no service can you help please?

I have upgraded iphone from 4 to 5s inserted the sim followed the screen instructions BUT I have no service can you help?

The iPhone 4 and iPhone 5s use different sized sims. So you can't simply have inserted the 4's sim into the 5s.
If you got a new sim, was that sim activated without your carrier?
You need to contact your carrier if you wish to have your service on the 4 transferred to a sim that the 5s can use.
