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?

    Did you install a hacked version of Front Row on the Mac in question? If so, see my "Uninstalling the Front Row hack" FAQ.

    It's the screen rotation lock symbol.
    When your screen is locked, photos won't rotate when you turn you iPhone sideways (or visa versa)
    It's for better viewing or a wider picture view.
    You can change it with the same icon in the slider menu from the bottom of your screen (upper right side).
    It toggles on or off.  

  • HT5544 I have tried to delete Purcased Books from IBooks on my IPad but they won't delete.  They have the cloud icon in the upper right hand corner of the book cover

    I have tried to delete Purchased Books in iBooks on my IPad but they won't delete. The books show a cloud icon in the upper right corner. How can I delete them?

    The cloud icon means that they are only in the cloud, they aren't currently stored on your iPad, so there isn't anything to delete. You can turn off the showing of the books that are in the cloud via Settings > iBooks > Show All Purchases 'off'

  • Black arrow in upper right hand corner of screen AND buttons are not working

    I have this black thick arrow in the top right hand corner of my screen that will not go away. When I'm dialing, the end call button is a "*", the back button is a "x7", and the menu button is always something different ("we" or "Xx). When I view my inbox and press the back button, it takes me down to the oldest message I have, forcing me to scroll all the way up to view my most recent messages.

  • What does 2,763,841,327 add ons downloaded mean in the upper right hand corner of screen

    on the add on page in the right hand upper corner it says, thank your for helping our mission or similar, 2,763,841,327 add ons downloaded. What does this mean? Where are they downloaded?

    Are you referring to the "Tools->Add-ons->Get Add-ons" or '''about:addons''' panel?
    This is just mentioning how many Extensions and Themes and such have been installed or downloaded by Firefox users.

  • Weird black icon on the upper right-hand corner where songs play.

    I have no clue what it is, or what it means. It looks like a backwards "C" with a cent sign attached to it. There is nothing that I can find to tell me what it is or means. Friends have no idea about it. I've been to the manuals, but they are no help. Can this mysterious icon hurt my iPod Nano?

    It could be some type of mojo. You never no what mojo's are out there. Have you tried any of the R's. It does wonderous things when iPod gets into a MOJO STATE.

  • ABC Icon appearing in upper right corner of display

    I changed typing input method to Multi-tap to send an SMS message.  When I switched back to SureType, an ABC icon appears in the upper right hand corner of the display.  How do I eliminate that icon without changing input languages?

    When I have that icon stuck on the main screen I open my phonebook and then back out of it.  That eliminates it for me.  Rarely I can't get rid of it, so I have to do a reset by removing the battery for 1 minute and then replacing it.

  • Help! My outgoing mail has the image of pink lips in the upper right-hand corner.  I did not put it there; it is fun but not exactly professional!  How do I get rid of it?

    Please help!  My outgoing mail messages arrive with an icon of pink lips in the upper right-hand corner.  I have no idea how it got there.  This is cute but not really professional. Does anyone know how I can get rid of it?  Thanks!

    It's been almost three years since I bought and set up my most recent Mac but if I recall correctly .....
    When you initially set up your Mac, you were offered the opportunity to snap a photo of yourself in order to associate your photo with your user account on the computer. If you declined the photo I think the Mac will pick or suggest a picture from the preinstalled selections in the accounts pane of the system preferences. You can change the picture but you cannot delete it totally. That picture is part of your ID for that user account on the Mac.
    If you want to change it, Open System Preferences and click on accounts. Click on your account to change the picture. You will have to unlock the preference in the bottom left corner - and to do that - you need to enter your password. Click on the picture of the Eagle and then all of the preinstalled photo choices pop up in another window. Select another photo and then clcik the lock icon again when you are done.

    @Naiks, having suffered through unsuccessful synching attempts for Calendar and Contacts myself, l would suggest you try the following:
    UNINSTALL iCloud control panel from your PC. Seems silly, but do it.
    Go into Outlook, and look at the very top menu. Click FILE, then ACCOUNT SETTINGS, then click the popup box.
    You will see a list of all your email accounts. Make sure that ONE of them has a checkmark against it. If not, select the account your want as your default, and click "set as default.
    Exit out of Outlook and reboot your machine.
    Now reinstall iCloud, check CALENDAR and CONTACTS, and do as instructed when prompted.
    Reboot for good luck and now launch OUTLOOK. All that remains is to locate your iCloud Contacts and Calendar files, and make them your default.
    IMPORTANT: Don't panic if you can't find your contacts -- they're there. Click CONTACTS and you'll see you have several available contact files. Locate the one label "iCloud" in grey type. Right-click on it, select PROPERTIES, then click the Outlook Address Book tab. Check the box that says something like "Make this my default Outlook Address Book." Keep clicking "apply" and "okay" until you've exited out of the dialog box maze.
    You may have to do something similar with your Calendar files. I dd not, but if you need to, do it.
    Everything should now sync pretty seamlessly.
    I didn't have the exact same problem as you, but my dilemma was close enough. Good luck!
