Ghost Icons on the Screen

TOUCHSMART 610 - w/ Windows Home 7.
When opening a document, the menu choice (ie: "Move Here" "Open", etc) imprints on the screen. It remains frozen in place, cannot be deleted, only disappears after rebooting the system. Then, any similar action creates the same problem. Any ideas?

Hi KFBKB,
When did this first occur? Did you install any third party software immediately prior to this symptom?
You are having some type of problem with a right-click menu context handler in Windows Explorer.
Can you refresh the desktop and clear the ghost menu item when this happens?
Try using a Microsoft System Restore point created prior to the onset of this issue.

Try to backup and restore you device in itunes...restoring the device is like removing the iOS software off the device and re-add in a newer software, after you have restore you device, MAKE SURE YOU SET UP YOUR DEVICE LIKE A NEW DEVICE, DONT NOT RESTORE FROM BACKUP!!... give the device a chance to use the newer software and see if the issue still persisting, if the issue still on going then its would be a hardware issue.
Call Apple Care and see if your device is still under warranty to get it replace

There is no option to reject an incoming call in locked screen, there must be an icon on the screen for one who don't want to use lock button several times, i did'nt face this problem in last ios 6.1.3.

A good read. Have you done anything at all to resolve your problem. Reset? Restore?
By the way - "your products"... nobody here produced the iPhone, we are all just users. Apple is not here.

Hi there Fgonzalez2015,
You may find the camera troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
You see a closed lens or black screen
If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping the camera swap icon . If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.

I have a 2012 MacBook Pro running OSX 10.8.5. I am noticing that when I try to drag an icon accross the screen it tends to stick for 5 to 10 seconds. Just did a reformat and reinstall of OS but no change. Any ideas?

when I try to drag icons accross the screen thet are sticking for up to 10 seconds. I have just done a recovery (reformatted and reinstalled the OSX 10.8.5 but no change. The activity monitor shows nothing out of the ordinary. I have a MacBook Pro 2012. I am having perfomance isues with ProTools and I'm wondering if the 2 are connected. I installes TechTools 7 and ran tests on everything and it says all is good. Any idea's? Thanks!

If you haven't already done so, eject the card by dragging its icon to the Eject icon in the Dock (where the Trash icon usually is.) Make sure the write-lock switch on the card is in the unlocked position. Then reinsert the card and test.
If there's no change, and the same happens with more than one card, the card reader is stuck in write-locked mode. I don't generally advise do-it-yourself hardware repair, but one ASC member managed to fix this problem. I haven't tried the fix myself and I can't offer any guidance beyond what's in that discussion. If you cause damage, don't expect your warranty to cover it. I suggest you instead make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

I synced my Ipod to itunes now i can only double click the icons on the screen it seems that the swiping feature has been disabled, how do I get it back to normal? I've restored it but nothing has changed

I synced my Ipod to itunes now I can only double tap the icons on the screen, it seems that the swipeing feature has somehow been disabled, Is there a way i could fix it or get it back to normal?

Hi there,
It sounds like you may have an accessibility feature called VoiceOver enabled. Take a look at the article below for more information on how to use VoiceOver as well as how to disable it.

strange little bar codes appear around every icon on the screen of my imac?

thankyou peoples, i believe you & think that i may have 'failed electrolytic capacitors', which is somewhat reasurring as it means that this machine is not about to explode. besides its better than kidney failure or heart failure or generally life failure. its time to upgrade anyway so i think this is a message to do so.......really appreciate your help......

HT4461 Is anyone else having difficulties with app updates. The icon on the screen shows that several updates are ready, but nothing shows up on the screen.

The icon on the screen shows I have several that are ready to update, but when I go to that tab in iTunes, the screen is blank.

If you go to the App Store and go to the purchased tab you can go through all of your apps. They will either show open or update. You would have to search through all of them but you can at least still update your apps.

Do these two resets:
SMC RESET
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset.
PRAM RESET
Zap the PRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

The icons on the screen of my laptop are too large. How can I make them smaller. I have right

the icons on the screen of my laptop are much too large. I don't know how they got that way. I want them to return to the smaller ones. I have right clicked on the desktop and clicked on making icons and other things smaller. this made the items on the bar at the bottom much smaller but did nothing for the icons all over the screen. What else can I do. I am using Windows 7 HP pavillion dv7 notebook

Hi,
Left click on an empty area of the Desktop to ensure it's the active window, then hold down the Ctrl key and use the scroll area of the Touchpad to adjust the size.

Did you do a software update?
AppleTV is unable to start properly. You need to connect to a computer running iTunes as detailed here:
