Flashing Apple symbol in upper keft hand corner?

My black Apple symbol in the upper left hand corner of the display flashes every 3 seconds. The lower portion of the symbol turns grey then turns black.
Anyone else noticed this?
Curious what this means if anything.
Thanks

That was it! The strange thing is I have always had pictures changing in the background with the translucent bar and it has only been recently that it has flashed.
At least it is normal. I have run into more trouble this year with my software than I have in 20+ years using Apple. I guess I am looking for trouble now lol. I should also mention that it might sound bad but, History =1 This Year = 2. My Wife's work pc will have more trouble this month than I have had in 22 years.

Symbol in upper right hand corner

Can someone tell me what the symbol is that appears in the upper right hand corner below the yellow signal bar. It sort of looks like a syringe? It is a vertical symbol not horizontal.

Hey Mona,
Welcome to the support forums!
This is probably your Bluetooth symbol. Have a look here for a list of symbols and icons http://bbry.lv/akKWcS

The flash player only shows a tiny portion of a video in the upper left hand corner of the window

Why is the player window not displaying the video thru the whole open flash window and only uses a tiny portion in upper left hand corner to play the downloaded video??

Hi, you can go to youtube and as soon as the video starts to play, right click and then uncheck the hardware acceleration on the Display Setting. Also being recommended is to update your grapic and video drivers to the latest version.
This has helped other users experiencing this problem.

I dropped my 2012 13" MBP and dinged up the upper right hand corner of the casing...does my apple care cover the cosmetic part of my MPB?

No. That would not be a manufacturing defect. Any repair costs will be bourne by you.
Ciao.

I seemed to have locked my keyboard; now there is a ghost writer on my keyboard; it goes to applications on its' own; opens itunes without me touchin the keyboard. There is a lock symbol in the upper right hand corner with a arrow circling it.

So, it appears that I no longer have control over my keyboard. With this symbol in the upper right hand corner, I don't have control over my keyboard.
Does anyone know how to undo this lock?
Thanks,

Hello,
Great!
The problem has been solved. Did not have the install disk, but figured the problem out through single user mode. The options listed in the article were not working, so tried this...
sh /et/rc (to boot the system)
open /applications/utilities
Was trying to open Terminal, but this opened root user mode (accidental victory). From there I was able to simply use Disk Utility to repair my permissions.
Thanks!

IBook G4 black screen at startup with code in upper left hand corner

I have had operating system issues for the past year, and recently had my OS reinstalled at a Mac Professional retailer. After two weeks of perfect performance, the chime stopped working on startup. This was the only problem for several days. Then when I would put it to sleep, the computer would not automatically turn back on, I had to manually reboot it. Finally, today, after the computer would not wake up and I had restarted it, the screen would flash to the apple logo screen WITHOUT the spinning wheel and after several seconds would shift to an all black screen with text in the upper right hand corner, waiting for a command entry.
The code reads as follows:
hfsswapBTNode: invalid node kind (-9)
node=22016 fileID=4 volume=Macintosh HD device=root_device
-sh-2.05b#
Any ideas?????

Put the install disc in the drive and start while holding the "c" key. Once satrted click through past the language screen and select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Highlight the drive on the left and click the Repair button. If it reports errors and repairs repeat the process until no errors are reported. If it reports errors it can't repair post the error message here.

Want to install x mavericks on macbook but don't have apple apps icon in apple icon on top left hand corner of screen

Want to install XMavericks on Mackbook but do not have apple apps store in apple icon on top left hand corner of screen. All information tells me to click on this icon in order to install XMavericks. but I can't. What csn I do? Please help a computer learner. Thank you from Carmel

You would need to find out if your computer could even run Mavericks 10.9 before going through the hoops to get it; first thing would be to buy the retail Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD install disc, those sell for about $19. Then be sure to backup your system on the computer to an external archive (hard disk drive) then try & do the upgrade to 10.6; and then use Software Update in the system to look for update parts for it, including 10.6.8.
Also a later version of Flash player/plugin and other parts. A newer browser such as Firefox, too, may be an idea if the included Safari is not up to date.
Considerations include enough chip RAM installed, depending on what model MacBook you have this can vary; and enough free-space on the hard disk drive for the system and applications to work correctly; as OS X does use free space or unused capacity as temporary files and virtual memory to supplement installed chip RAM.
You can use a 'serial number lookup service' online to help determine the MacBook build model/year and whatever update or upgrade it may be capable.
•http://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
Some early models of MacBook (coreduo 1.83, 2.0) have an upper limit on the OS X version they can use, later models with the core2duo may also have a few among their vintage that may not be suitable for Mavericks. There are several users of these who do not go past Snow Leopard if they have no newer applications, since older applications with Rosetta helping them run, won't work in a later system w/o Rosetta.
So there are considerations.
Good luck & happy computing!

Why can't I open pdf file? Get a black box with a white x in the upper left hand corner that won't

Why can't I open pdf file? Get a black box with a white x in the upper left hand corner that won't open either

I get the same thing... no matter what site i try to pull a pdf for IE10, it gives me the black x... if i use chrome it works, but my client does not want to use a different browser.
I followed the guide that Pat posted... nothing worked... I have uninstalled and reinstalled Java, Adobe reader, Adobe flash,.. upgraded to IE11, then back to IE10 due to medical software that is not compatable with IE11...
The kicker is that my Admin profile works just fine.. no issues.. so i know it has something to do with his profile....
Please.. someone... help!!!

HELP: Strange icon appearing in upper right=hand corner of screen

Hi,
For the last few days I noticed that the last few times I shut my MacPro 2.66 (OSX 10.4.10) down a small icon appears were the in the task bar would be on the far upper right-hand corner of the screen.
Just before the screen shuts off a small white square with a yellow triangle inside... in the middle of which resides a red !
It is only there for 15 seconds or so and then the machine shuts down. There is no other verbose display... just that symbol.
What is it? Anyone seen this before?

Any ideas at all?

Since the update, my IPad2 says "No Service" in the upper left hand corner although I have service and my data plan is paid.

Why does "No Service" appear in the upper left hand corner since I updated?

I seem to have lost the red, yellow and green dots that are in the upper left hand corner that close or minimize the page.

I seem to have lost the red, green, and yellow dots that are in the upper left hand corner that close or minimize the page. How can I get them back?

You may have to try a general OS X troubleshooting process to see if the issue goes away by doing this...
Have you tried: starting the computer in SafeBoot mode, with shift key held down; a login screen should appear after a time, and then the regular desktop. At this point, locate Disk Utility in utilities folder, and run 'repair disk permissions' on the startup volume, usually the name given the hard disk drive as it appears on desktop. After Disk Utility is finished the permissions repair, restart the computer normally.
...The iTunes player has free support only through the duration of the hardware product's complementary or AppleCare extended plan coverages, so though you can download a newer version, that is not the same as free support for an issue. However, the iTunes Store or App Store has a different factor for their product.
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
There is an iTunes area in Apple Support Community discussions for more topics like this; except for when they involve a hardware product where an OS X is involved. If your computer is NOT a powerPC (an 'intel'-mac) the topic would more naturally need to be posted where that hardware and later supported OS X version topics get seen. So that is why one asks 'on what Mac running what version...' instead of writing four paragraphs in a wide angle reply. The details about your iMac and the OS X say more; without them, more questions arise.
Good luck & happy computing!

My iphone 5 has the word searching in the upper left hand corner for 3 days. I can connect to the net , but no phone service. What is possibly wrong?

WHy cant i get phone service? The word " searching " has been in the upper left hand corner for 3 days. I have internet service but no phone service. Does any one have any thoughts or suggestions?

When you say you have Internet service, are you connected to wifi? Have you tried a reset on the phone? Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo, then release. The phone will reboot. After it starts, see what happens. Do you have a valid SIM in the phone, one that is activated through a carrier? Have you contacted the carrier to see what they say, since phone service is a carrier responsibility?

My ipad shows "no service" in upper left hand corner but I get google maps and itunes but I cant get to the ibook store

Why does my ipad show "no service" in upper left hand corner but I can get some service like google earth and itunes but I can't get to the ibook's store. Tap "books" does nothing. Thank you.

Try going to settings. Tap Reset, tap reset network connection, wait until the apple goes restart your iPad,. Back to setting tap provider and put in your network password.
