  • 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??

  • Black square around icons

    when I am on the desktop or in an application, there is a black square around icons and I don't know how to get rid of it. Please help.

    You turned on VoiceOver, probably by inadvertently hitting Command-F5. Just hit it again to make it go away.

  • Black outlines around my icons

    Every icon I click on has a black outline around it. Plus I have 2 Shutdowns instead of one? It's very distracting

    Open the Universal Access pane of System Preferences, click on Seeing, and turn VoiceOver off.

  • Black border around buttons and boxes

      My browser displays a thick black rectangle around buttons and dropboxes. It affects webkit browsers, luakit and surf. This is a stripped down atom desktop. There is gtk 2 2.24, libwebkit 1.8.3, standard xorg, xf86-video-intel 2.20.5 (i915), and cairo, all from the arch repo, and linux-ck-atom 3.5.3 from AUR. I have cairo but no mesa and no compiz. Adding mesa doesn't fix it. But it's possible I removed some important graphic library. Any suggestions how I might fix it?

    Thanks for the suggestions. The accelerators don't make a difference, neither does today's new intel driver. I've had the same version of cairo since June (1.12.2-1 -> 1.12.2-2) and this problem is recent. As a last resort I'll try to find an old cairo package. But maybe I should look into libwebkit or gtk first.

  • How do I get a black outline around my shapes?

    Hello I somehow managed to get a black outline around my shapes (as seen in the attachment) which I would like to know how to do. I have no idea how I did this! Can anyone help?

    Lanithu,
    If you mean the black shapes of varying width showing the hand and face, you may start/do it in this way for each:
    1) Create the basic shape (one of the edges) with a stroked path;
    2) Move a copy the desired distance in the desired direction (down to the right for the hand, a bit up to the right for the face);
    3) Adjust Anchor Points as desired (such as (some of) the ones at the mouth);
    4) Select the inner path and Object>Path>Offest Path to create the path for the Path Type, delete unwanted segments (the end segments and the opposite part); you may Type before or after going on with the shapes;
    5) Connect each pair of paths to form closed paths, and reshape the end portions as desired;
    6) Add fill and remove stroke.

  • Black outline around whole screen

    My imac recently began to display a thick black outline around the screen, about a half inch on the sides, a little less on top and bottom. Any ideas?

    Hi Ionmore,
    This black line do you see this only on your desktop ??
    Try to hit the F11 key on your keyboard.

  • Indesign document PDFs with Black outline around pages ... and ...

    Hi guys
    I have posted this problem in the acrobat section but have thought it could be an indesign issue also.
    Basically I am PDFing an InDesign CC document with crop and bleed for a printer.  For some reason, on some pages, it adds a black/grey outline to pages, and in some cases seems to crop the page so there is no bleed.
    Any thoughts?  Original post with image can be seen here: PDF has strange black outline at printers end?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply Rob.  This is not the case - I know this as other pages in the document have there bleed correct (5mm all around).  I have resolved the black outline issue, but now have this bleed issue.  On my screen the PDF looks fine but for some reason when the printer opens it, they do not get the bleed on the left edge!
    Thanks

  • Black border around boxes and oval shapes

    I created some boxes and oval and circles in InDesign and it is placing a black border around the shapes. How can I get correct this? I am using InD CS6.
    Thanks,
    Joe

    Select the frames and go to Window>Stroke and change the stroke value to 0pts
    Or press "/" on your keyboard
    Or click the square in the tool bar on the left the bottom one and press the icon that has a red line going through it

  • Grid of small lines around icons and cursor?

    As I'm not sure if this is an OS fault or display fault I have also posted this in the OS forum...
    Recently I'm getting a "grid" of small lines, about 1 inch square, around all desktop icons and around the cursor. It doesn't appear on any open windows, except around where the cursor is. I have run "applejack" to repair the disk and permissions etc.
    If I shut the computer down for a while and then restart, sometimes they go away, sometimes not. When I shut down, as soon as the icons disappear, so do the lines so it may not be a display problem, but any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Gary, a few months ago my G5 got the 'intermittent shut down' problem, then after a couple of months, it just died. It had been going on before the warranty ran out, but stupidly I didn't pursue it.. until too late. Thankfully, after spending rather too long being misinformed by a guy in India who couldn't understand the nuances of my argument (lol), Apple Ireland agreed to repair it in the interests of good customer relations etc. I was told both that my machine WAS then WASN'T within the range of serial numbers covered by the exetended warranty covering that known fault.
    And now it's the same again; it's a known fault - proven by the fact there's an extended warranty on a range of serial numbers (not bloody mine again).
    I'm going to talk to Apple tomorrow and I'd like to know how, given this fault is an economic write-off (£600 to repair against £800 for a new machine!!)they expect to keep me buying Mac, particularly when I KNOW they acknowledge the fault.
    Our teenager's Packard Bell, bought in 2002 is looking like a strong contender to outlive BOTH our 2005 Macs at this rate. Not good enough.
    Glad to hear yours was still under warranty. You'd be a bit annoyed if it wasn't!

  • Black outlines around images in pdfs from Indesign

    I'm not sure if this is an Indesign problem or Acrobat. I have imported several photoshop files in which I have deleted the background around the figures. The background is transparent. When I make a pdf from Indesign, there is a black outline that appears, tracing the edge of the figures. Does anyone know what might cause this and how to fix. I have imported this kind of file many times with no problems.

    Check if they're RGB in PS. I had this problem recently when exporting to PDF. It didn't show in ID file but showed in PDF. I converted to CMYK, relinked, and exported new PDF and the problem went away.

  • 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

    Found the answer.. Turned VoiceOver Off. Must have gotten accidentally turned on Last Friday after too many F5 refreshes during the woot!-Off!!!

  • Mysterious black outline around imported jpg

    We created a logo for a client. She is reporting that every time she uses it there is a black outline showing up around the edge of the .jpg.
    We have checked all of our files thoroughly, and there is no outline on any of them.
    Does anyone know why this might be happening?
    Thanks!

    Sara,
    One other thing, not directly related to your concern, but a concern nonetheless...
    Good logos are generally constructed as vectors, not pixels. "Illustrator" vector formats (e.g. .ai, .eps) will give you the best images. If you must use a pixel-based format, stick with .tif, .psd, .eps.
    The .jpg format is lossy and can leave you with blotchy, unsharp logotypes or marks, particularly if they consist mainly of type, line and color and if the .jpg is highly compressed.
    (For Web, the choices would be .gif for type, line and color; .jpg for photographic images.)

  • HT204390 Black squares around icons on ipod

    I was playing around with my ipod and found myself in the general section. I clicked a few buttons and now my ipod is talking to me and there is a black square around every icon I click making it so i have to double click every app i want to go in. I have tried to undo what i had done by going back into general and clicking on settings but i cant scroll down to accessibilitys to turn this off. All helps appreciated

    You have the accessibility VoiceOver feature turned on.
    Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see the following for how to turn off via iTunes:
