Black date box across screen!

iLife '08 is on my new Mac and I am miserable!!! How do I get rid of the black, semi-transparent date box smack dab in the middle of my screen in iPhoto?
How can I go back to iPhoto/iLife '06? Is that possible? Any recommendations for an alternate, and much better, photo viewer?

Really there is a lot of flapdoodle talked about iMovie 08. It's different from the early iMovie - it's a different application - but as you have never created any movies I don't see how that will affect you.

You don't need to go back. iMovie 6 is available to download for iMovie 08 users.
Really, you should stick with iPhoto 7, its a much better application - just takes a little getting used to is all.

Macbook Pro Black boxes across screen then crashes

I have a Macbook Pro that I got 2 months ago. A couple days ago it froze and had black boxes all across the screen, then it crashed. Today when I started it up after I logged in while it was loading the black boxes popped up again, then it crashed. And when I tried to restart it it just beeped. The battery was around 50% so it wasn't dead. Its been fully updated and I haven't made any changes to it. Please help if there's anything I can do without taking it in

White boxes across screen affecting touch sensitivity

My iPhone 5 unfortunately has been diagnosed with an internal hardware issue that causes a horizontal pattern of white boxes to be displayed across my screen. The touch sensiviity is also affected where the white boxes are displayed, so I am unable to select text, or turn certain things On and Off within my settings if the button is located on the white boxes. My problem is location services was turned off before this problem began, and now because of the touch screen problem I am unable to turn it back on since the button is displayed where the white boxes are. Is there ANY other way to enable location services without going through settings on the phone, or restoring the phone and setting it up as new. Any help would be appreciated.

Replacing it would be ideal, and an obvious solution to solving my problem here. Unfortunately I'm poor, and I can't afford to buy a new phone seing as my apple warranty has expired...which is why I am here looking for a roundabout way to keep my phone somewhat functional until I can buy a replacement or upgrade it. You're right in that there is no way (that we know of) to turn on location services without selecting it on the screen within the settings. You're wrong in that there is no way to get around the problem, because I just did. Using the zoom funtion I was able to change the placement of the button slightly, which allowed me to turn location services back on. This works for any button I was previously unable to get to within all settings or apps. Thanks for your response though.

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?

2 Vertical Black Bars Across Screen...

Anyone know about or experienced vertical black bars (2) across the monitor after returning from sleep or standby mode?
I'm just worried my computer will crap out on me when it's most inconvenient so I'm trying to guage what computer problems/elderly computer symptoms I'll be dealing with in it's decline. It's only from 2009, but it's heavily used and has lots of graphic design and media software on it.
Note: The SD card recently stopped working, and the Genius bar determined it was a mechanical failure. Also, the CD burn hasn't been working for a while.
Using a Macbook pro os x, leopard, purchased 2009.

It only happens for a split second, and before/while the computer is waking up so when I try to take a screen shot, it doesn't work because it's not fully on yet. However, I will take a pic with some other device so I do have a picture of it. And I FOR SURE have all my data backed up plus on a flash.
Thanks for the advice.

My iPad has a series of thin black lines running across the right side of the screen. They look like pages in a book.

How does one get rid of the thin black lines running across the right side of the screen? They look like the edges of pages..... This is an iPad3 and the lines have been there since I took the iPad out of the box.

Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is suggested...
Be sure to make an appointment first...

Black Bounding Box Appearing on my screen.. driving me mad!

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me. Somehow I have managed to get this black bounding box to appear n anything that I select. I don't know how I did it, my only guess is that some keyboard shortcut backfired on me!
It wouldn't be such a big deal except when I'm working in Quark, I keep getting a huge box the length of my screen appearing and its in my waywhen I'm trying to work. I guess its a finder feature somewhere in settings but for the life of me, I just can't find it.
I would be very grateful if someone could help me.
Thanks,
Joni

Did you turn the Universal Access Voice Over on? (cmd-F5 toggles it.)
You can go to Universal Access in System Preferences and check the 'off' radio button too.

How to get rid of black outline boxes persisting on screen

Black outline boxes have started appearing around objects and icons that I’ve clicked on or text areas I've filled in. Sometimes these boxes persist on the screen in its original location until I go to a new program.
For example – in PhotoShop, a black outline box appeared on the vertical slider area and then stayed in the same location on the screen until I switched to Safari – which then got it’s own boxes.
I have a clear 20” Cinema Display.
Phil

Open the Universal Access pane of System Preferences and check if VoiceOver is turned on; if so, turn it off.

HA! I figured the find my iphone out!!!!! You can have more than one icloud account in "Mail, Contacts and Calendars". So my husband's & kids' phone icloud account under "settings, icloud "is their individual @me.com account. Set it to everything you want EXCEPT Find My Iphone. Then under "settings, mail/contacts/calendars" you set up both accounts (your @me.com which may already be there), then add another with the main appleID and enable ONLY Find My Iphone. Now when any of us log into Find My Iphone from any device with our main apple ID for the app store, all the devices show up!!!! YIPPEE. I made my own day!
I think the message I got previously was because I hadn't disabled the find my iphone on the @me.com account first.

Security Update 2014-002 Black boxes and screen sticking

Today after installing the security update 2014-002 on mavericks i am getting black boxes or black backgrounds when shifting screens. In Safari when i am scrolling down it is behaving the same way displaying text and pictures stuck wile moving. Is there any way to get one step back or to delete the new update. Please, help me solving this issue. I shouldn't had updated. The updates are so unreliable.
I went to safe mode and it becomes worse in safe mode.

I connected the charger many times it didn't worked. Yes exactly it stopped charging. Then i tried again and again removing and moving the pin and it worked suddenly. i wasn't able to imagine that i purchased it in 2014 January. How it is possible that the brand new and so expensive item behave like this.
The problem i was facing is solved too after this behavior. As soon as my laptop started charging i switch from one screen to another right/left dashboard. Scroll up/down in safari. It is moving the same as before amazing fast.
I didn't installed or uninstalled anything as others did. I didn't understood at all how come the charger was stopped charging and how such awkard problems happened that made the laptop so slow that it behaves like it is dying or maybe something went wrong with the graphic card.
Thanks for helping.

Black line across screen after sleep button pressed

Hi,
When i press the sleep button, i have these black lines appearing across the screen of my ipod which fade away almost immediately. This only happens when i press the sleep button.
Does anyone know if this is a software or hardware issue and can it be fixed?
thanks

Okay, I've updated firmware.
Can you tell me, does this mean my iMac was one of
the first off the production line and could have all
the usual Apple early problems...?
I think I should still take it back to shop and
change it for one of their new stock models in about
3 weeks time when they take delivery of latest stock,
what do you think?
I'm only suspicious as I bought a first generation
iMac G5 and had fan noise and heat problems galour. I
don't want a repeat with an early Intel iMac.
From what I see other posters saying who have just received new ones directly by special order, they are having to do the firmware updates as well, so there is no way to tell how new yours is or isn't. If these resets do not solve the black screen problem now, I think you'll have to take it back anyway. Unless someone else can give you another idea.
edit-
I understand what you're saying about the first models of anything, but I've looked at this as actually being the best of the G5 revisions combined with better, cooler running internal components. If yours is as quiet as mine, and if you resolve the black screen issue, my opinion is that it's not worth giving it up. I've been using an iMac Intel that was returned to Apple, I don't know why and don't really care because it works perfectly for me and cost less.
