Black outline appeared after accidental button mashing.

After accidentally button mashing my keyboard a black outline now appears over anything that pressing "tab" and anything I type in or click on. It happens all over the computer not just Safari, also while scrolling it does not stay with the typing box it says in the same place on screen. While trying to fix it my Apple Menu now has the following options -Force Quit... -Force Quit Safari -Restart... -Restart -Shut Down... -Shut Down -Log Out __... -Log Out __. Also Under Safari and File -Private Browsing... -Private Browsing -Close Window -Close Window -Close All Windows -Close All Windows.
Im sure it can be turned off but how?

You've turned Voice Over on. Command F5 will turn it off. (Or open the System Preferences and look for the Accessibility tab - last in the third row I think)

  • Appear after all buttons clicked

    OK, I have a relatively easy question for you guys. I have a slide with four persistent buttons on it and I want a link to the next slide to appear after the four buttons have been clicked. What confuses me, however, is that I'm not sure where to put the "Advance to Next Slide" button on the timeline.
    I'm assuing that the problem is that I have all the buttons set to pause at the same time, but I'm not sure what the alternative would be.
    I've attached pictures of my slide and timeline below. Any feedback you could give me would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    OK Walter, then you really need advanced actions for the buttons. Noellet gave some ideas but it will not work if the user can click multiple times on each button, sorry Noellet. I will try to explain why: in your scenario the Next button will also appear if the user clicked four times on the same button
    Walter, you need to create one user variable for each button, I will label them v_one, v_two, v_three, v_four.  You do not need to give those variables a start value at all. They will be set to 1, when the corresponding button is clicked the first time. You will need a conditional advanced action for each button, and as Noellet correctly pointed out, the 'Next' button has to be initially invisible.
    Each conditional advanced action will have to do several things, showing the text caption and hiding all other text captions, set the value of its variable to 1, check the value of all the user variables and if they are all=1 the next button will be made visible. Easiest way will be to create indeed a counter variable as well v_counter.
    Would use 2 decisions: first will be a mimick of a standard action, second will be a really conditional action. For the first button, where the Text Caption is TC1 this will be:
    First decision: IF 1 = 1     (will always be true, so THEN actions will always be executed
                        THEN      Show TC1
                                       Hide TC2
                                       Hide TC3
                                       Hide TC4
                                       Assign v_one with 1
                                       Expression v_counter = v_one + v_two
                                       Expression v_counter = v_counter + v_three
                                       Expression v_counter = v_counter + v_four                    need 3 expressions to calculate v_counter
                                       Assign rdcmndGotoFrame with rdinfoCurrentFrame      to rewind the playhead
    Second decision  IF v_counter = 4
                             THEN  Show BtNext      shows the Next button
                             ELSE  Continue
    Did not try it out, let me know if it works, logic is OK

  • CS3 to CS2 conversion black outlines appearing

    Hello!
    I hope that someone can help, please. Our company has recently upgraded to InDesign CS3. However, when someone saves a file as a .inx interchange so that someone still using CS2 can view it, all the vector image files in the InDesign file then all have black outlines around them. I've seen this as a problem on here with PDFing before, but this is just when the file is opened and hasn't been PDFed at all.
    Many thanks in advance.
    Helen

    Yes, we knew it would never be a breeze, but we've had other people who have been lucky enough not to have problems, so just wondered if it was something we were doing that was causing the problem.
    Thanks, I'll try and get a colleague to make a screenshot as I'm just the IT fixer, I'm not actually working on the files in question.

  • Magenta outline appears after converting to a PDF file from Photshop

    Hi Folks,
    I have an image that I worked on in CS6 Extended, and then I flattened the layers, and 'saved-as' a PDF file. Then I opened the pdf file and there's a magenta colored outline going around the entire border of the image.
    Why is that? I can't remeber that happening anytime before now but I will say that I did mess around with the Reader tools and Nav bar settings not too long ago. Did i set something off that I shouldn't have?
    I have the absolute latest version of PDF Reader, (updated on 5-26-13).
    Thank You, Rich
    Windows 7 64 bit, 8gb Ram, i7-2600k 5.Ghz, ATI HD 7850PE, 700W PSU, etc, etc.

    No, as I said, I flattened all the layers but I really should have said that the duplicate, invisable layer, was discarded in the save-as process. I actually made a hue alteration and I always start with making a duplicate layer so I have something to campare it to after I made the change, (before/after).
    In fact, I don't know why they moved this to the Photoshop section. This has not been determined to be a PS related problem because the problem is in the way Reader is displaying the image after it is "Saved as".
    The same image doesn't have that magenta border when saved as a jpg or tiff, etc.
    Oh, I just thought of something though; At one point I had turned on the quick guides. Those magenta lines that appear when your dragging a layer image to lay precisely over the other. When the two borders, (either the verticle, or Horizontal, or both), of the image on top, lines up with the bottom one, the line appears to indicate that you've lined up that plane.
    I don't know if that made sense to you but I'm thinking that even though the line goes invisable when you release the mouse button, it may still be visable to some other programs like Reader after it's saved/converted.
    Thanks for the 'memory jolt'. I'm going to check that theory out as soon as I can get back to it.

  • Interactive pdf has random black boxes appearing after video slides

    I am using indesign cs6 and I have a document that is 52 pages long with images, text and vidoes that are flv files. I export the doc as an interactive pdf. I open the doc in Acrobat and it plays fine. The only issue is that after a video slide, A random black box, the same size as teh video element is appearing on the slide after the video.
    Right in the middle. As if I have left the video element on the same slide.
    Not sure if this is a ram issue or something I am missing. I have checked the slides after the videos and the elements are fine.
    Please help. Thank you all.

    It's a long-time bug, doubt it'll ever be fixed. You can use Acrobat to change the annotation properties to 'disable when' = page is not visible, so the Flash Player instance is unloaded from the display stack - that usually helps. InDesign doesn't let you control that parameter.

  • Black flash appears after transistion

    Sorry if this has been covered, but I can't find anything on the forum. I have a problem with slides that flash black for a split second after a transistion. I have removed the transition and played the section and there is no flash on the photo or the slide before it. I then add any transistion to that slide and right after the transition is replaced, there is a flash of black. Now I used to get this when there were a lot of editing artifacts left over (little tiny spaces between slides or a sliver of a former slide left tucked in) but these are new slides being plopped into a fresh timeline. Replacing the slide in that particular spot does not fix the problem, as the flash will appear with the new image as well. I have trashed the entire project and started over and made it to another place in the new timeline, only to have it appear again with a different pair of images with transition. Once it appears, there doesn't seem to be any way to get rid of it to use a transistion of any type. Any ideas what may be causing this problem? It also embeds itself if I save it to QT or DV, the blink of black appears when it is converted to other formats (such as Youtube).

    That may be a clue, as when this happened before on another project, I had a clip created on MOV for titling at the beginning, then about 20-40 seconds into the slide show, the 4th or 5th slide would always have that black blip in it. Once I dumped that project and started over with all the same slides and transitions (plus the MOV of the opening title, I didn't have that black flash. Mystery eh?

  • Black screen appears after exporting to Quicktime movie

    I'm having trouble exporting a time-lapse video to a QT movie. The screen is always black when I try to watch the finished product. Here's what I'm doing:
    I import the jpeg files into QT 7 Pro using "Open Image Sequence." At this point I'm able to watch the video in QT. Now I want to export it to a QT movie so I can import that file into iMovie. From "File," I choose "Export>Movie to QuickTime Movie." I check the Options button to view the Settings and Size. Settings show compression is Apple Intermediate Codec, with Frame Rate set to "Current." Size is HD 1280 x 720, with the "Preserve Aspect Ratio" box checked. I give the file a name, hit "Save" and it begins to export.
    When that's done, I go to my desktop and click on the newly created movie file, which opens in QT version 10.1. However, the movie shows up as a black screen.
    Can anyone spot the error in what I'm doing? It's got to be something simple. I've created a time-lapse using these steps (I think) before, so I don't think there's a bug in the program anywhere. Any help appreciated. Thanks.
    Btw...My OS is 10.7.4. I'm also not trying to create a movie with an audio component -- this is only video.

    Not exactly an error, but I do have a question. If you are sourcing JPEG images to an image sequence file which creates a QT Photo JPEG compression file which is already import/edit compatible with iMovie and currently plays in the QT 7 Player correctly without a "black screen" problem, why are you exporting the data to the AIC compression format instead of simply saving the Photo JPEG sequence file and importing it directly to iMovie?

  • Satellite P10: Black screen appears after 5min

    Hi my name is colin, I have a Toshiba P10 laptop and I want to change my power settings ie.
    My lap top blanks out after five mins if I do not use mouse but can't change settings because the panal is greyed out.
    I use it for my karaoke but if a song is more than five min long blank screen. Tapping mouse pad restores it.
    Can somebody please tell me what to do.
    Thanks colin.

    Hi Colin,
    Sorry to hear that you still have the problem. My only suggestion now is that the Toshiba Power Management utility is not propwerly installed.
    I presume that the system was re-installed after the new MB and HDD were fitted. Was this done from the recovery CDs or was it a Microsoft install CD ?
    I would suggest removing the Toshiba Power Management utility from your notebook and then re-installing it (you can download it from the Toshiba web-site). Please make sure that you use the correct version (there are two) for your particular P10.
    regards,

  • Mysterious Black outline around selected items???

    This morning, when I started my computer there is a Black outline appearing around the selected item or window throughout my system... For example; around the icon/folder/file selected in the finder, around the entire Safari browser window, around various items in Mail- the inbox portion, around where the flagged message icon would appear when a message is selected. etc. The same thing is happening in some other programs as well. Everything appears to be working just fine & I have tried restarting, repairing permissions, cleaning cashe, zap P-RAM, etc. Any idea what is causing this?? Is it a problem. or just something screwy that will hopefully go away? Any insight would be appreciated.
    Thanks, Jeremy

  • My Firefox interface is messed up. When I hover over or click a button it becomes all pixlated, the blocks move around, and lines appear around the buttons.

    When I hover over or click a button on the tool bar it becomes messed up. Blocks, or more like pixels, appear over the buttons. They are white and they move around. Little black lines appear around the buttons too. I tried uninstalling and re-downloading Firefox, a full reset, etc. Nothing has worked so far. To see pictures of the problem use this URL (it brings you to Imgur): http://imgur.com/a/LXHQg

  • A small black rectangle appears in place of my minimize/close buttons and prevents these functions.

    The small black rectangle is just large enough to cover the minimize/resize and close buttons in the upper right corner of the screen. It appears after I have been using the browser for a while. In other words, it is not there when I first launch Firefox. I am able to close the window by using the task manager but not by clicking where the black rectangle is. Sometimes when I click all through the black triangle, it resizes the window somewhat but not consistently.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    In Firefox 4 and later [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Safe mode] disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.
    Try to disable hardware acceleration.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

  • I cant download anything including Updates, when i try to download a black box appears saying that i have to power off the laptop using the button, and it freezes, so i have no option but to power off. Please HELP

    I cant download anything including Updates, when i try to download a black box appears saying in 4 different languages that i have to power off the laptop using the button, and it freezes, so i have no option but to power off. Please HELP

    Well, at least it's good that there are no hardware issues - that's a relief and one problem area that you can check off.
    OK, so let's summarize so I can get a clear picture of what's going on. If you try to download something from your web browser, what happens? What if you try to download a small utility such as "EasyFind" from the App Store? Or is the problem specifically linked to downloading updates?
    I'm just trying to get a feel for if anything really means anything?
    Usually what you download from, say, a website, goes into your Downloads folder. It's the default folder for things like that. Apps from the App Store are downloaded to your Applications folder. And software updates are generally, I believe, held in a temporary folder so that they can be installed (in many cases) when you're asked to restart.
    It could be something as simple as repairing permissions on your start-up disk. You're running Snow Leopard, right? (That's what your profile says.) Try opening Disk Utility from your Utilities folder, selecting your boot disk and try verifying permissions. If you come up with some errors, try repairing permissions. After that, go ahead and verify your boot disk - you won't be able to repair it at this point, but at least you can see if you have any errors.
    Let me know about the anything and get back to me after you've verified and repaired permissions and verified your boot drive.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • Please help -- SHADOWS APPEAR as BLACK OUTLINES when I EXPORT to PDF

    Hi all,
    I have designed a product catalog in InDesign. I retouched product in PS and dropped an "outer glow" and "drop shadow" Layer Style onto the products and saved them with a transparent background in a .PSD format. The files were then Placed into the InDesign document.
    The pages print just as they appear when I print from InDesign, however, I would like to be able to email this document out to retailers, but when I Export as a PDF, the images with shadows appear as if they are stroked with a sloppy/irregular black line in place of the shadows...
    Please help me resolve.
    Could it be due to the compression?
    Thoughts? Alternatives?
    Thanks so much,

    Bob,
    I'm sorry for the delayed reply.
    Here is the catalog I designed.  If you flip through it, you will see that some of the t-shirts have this black outline in place of the "outer glow effect"
    I am using CS3.
    My workflow was this:
    Brought photo into PS > masked out background > deleted selected to Transparent background > Placed graphic in new layer over Tshirt image > Saved file as TIFF > Placed TIFF into InDesign document > Export InDesign document to PDF
    Thoughts?

    how do I makes this go away - your help is much appreciated
    Thanks

    As Ned said, you can remove the outline with CSS but it's a web accessibility feature. If you click somewhere else on the page the outline will go away.
    The Active Link's Focus state had a dotted border or outline to show people where they are on the page.  This is especially useful for people who must use their keyboard tab key to work through links.  As you know, many devices don't support a mouse and some people just can't use them.
    So remove the outline if you think you should but be ever mindful of any web accessibility features you disable.  Some people might need them.
