How can I clear unwanted transformation boxes?

In the last 24 hours free transform boxes have become fixed - I can't apply transformations.
In addition, free transform boxes appear when they are not wanted.
Here is an example: if I make a simple rectangular selection then copy and paste it into a new layer, as soon as I click on the pasted area I get an unwanted transform box which I can't get rid of.   It disappears whilst I am in a different layer but reappears on returning to the problem layer.
Restarting makes no difference and the problem is present all the time with the simplest of images or just new plain shapes.
I have made no changes to PS and added no new plugins, just carried out normal PS work over this period.
To begin with I found once or twice that I could trick PS into applying the problem ransformation by clicking in the layer with the Text cursor but this trick soon failed.  Now if I select the text tool I get the query box: "Apply the transformation?"   Clicking "Apply" makes the transformation box disappear but it reappears again immediately the layer in question is clicked.
I have CS5 12.1 x 64 , Windows 7 on a Dell XPS8300 with 8 GB of RAM
Help please.

With the Move Tool selected do you have Show Transform Controls checked?

    Hello Den53,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430?viewlocale=en_US
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    After the device has turned off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Best of luck,

  • How can I make the combo box turn to the value of black.

    When the show button is pressed (and not before), a filled black square should be
    displayed in the display area. The combo box (or drop down list) that enables the user to choose the colour of
    the displayed shape and the altering should take effect immediately.When the show button is pressed,
    the image should immediately revert to the black square, the combo box should show the value that
    correspond to the black.
    Now ,the problem is: after I pressed show button, the image is reverted to the black square,but I don't know
    how can I make the combo box turn to the value of black.
    Any help or hint?Thanks a lot!

    Hello,
    does setSelectedIndex(int anIndex)

  • I have forgotten my password and locked my phone, how can i clear the problem

    I have forgotten my password and locked my phone, how can i clear the problem

    By coincidence, this happened to my son just last night.  You do NOT have to restore it to a new phone, but you probably want a current backup.
    Luckily, you can still sync and back it up even if it's locked, so connect it to the computer you usually sync it to. Go to the summary page. It's easiest and fastest to use a local backup, so if iCloud backup is on, turn it off and click "Backup now".  
    After it backs up, either click "Restore iPhone", or
    - hold home and the top button until the screen goes black, release the top and continue to hold the home button until iTunes says "iPhone in recovery mode detected". 
    Follow instructions to restore from backup, and then sync to restore content.  Your phone will come up in an unlocked state. If you have any stuff that was purchased directly to the iPhone (only), you'll have to re-download it. 
    Remember to turn iCloud backups back on if you use them.
    If you don't sync you iPhone to a computer then I *think* those instructions with the buttons will put it into a mode where you can restore it from the cloud (make sure it is NOT connected to a computer while you do this). Otherwise, you will have to restore it as a new phone, then go to settings, reset, then restore it from the cloud.

  • How can I stop unwanted scam emails  ex: someone wats to give me $2,500,000.00

    How can I stop unwanted emails?  Here is an example:
    Good Day,
    Although, I do not know you in person, I have received your contact via, personal search while seeking a reliable but obscure individual to assist me in this pending transaction. It became necessary for me to seek your assistance as i want you to assist me in investing my share of the money in your Country.
    Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr.Wong Cheng director of operations of the Bank Of Japan,United Kingdom . I have an Obscured business suggestion for you . In 2003, the subject matter; ref: bb/boj/bank/0012  came to our bank to engage in business discussions with our Private Banking Services Department. A client of ours informed us that he had a financial portfolio of 8.35 million United States Dollars, which he wished to have us turn over (invest) on his behalf and i was the officer assigned to his case.The favored route in my advice to customers is to start by assessing data on 6000 traditional stocks and bond managers and 2000 managers of alternative investments,this yielded funds in just 2 Years.
    In mid 2005, he asked that the money be liquidated because he needed to make an urgent investment requiring cash payments in Europe.I undertook all the processes and made sure I followed his precise instructions to the letter and had the funds deposited in a security consultancy firm,He told me he wanted the money there in anticipation of his arrival from Norway later that week. This was the last communication we had, this transpired around 9th October, 2005.
    I made futile efforts to locate him I immediately passed the task of locating him to the internal investigations department of the bank of japan.Four days later, information started to trickle in, apparently he was dead. In line with our internal processes for account holders who have passed away, we instituted our own investigations in good faith to determine who should have right to claim the estate. This investigation has for the past months been unfruitful. We have scanned every continent and used our private investigation affiliate companies to get to the root of the problem.
    What I wish to relate to you will smack of unethical practice but I want you to understand something,there is US$ 8,370,000.00 deposited , I alone have the deposit details and they will release the deposit to no one unless I instruct them to do so,i alone know of the existence of this deposit for as far as BOJ is concerned.
    My proposal;  I am prepared to place you in a position to give instruction for the release of the deposit to you as the closest surviving relation.Upon receipt of the deposit, I am prepared to share the money with you in half. That is: I will simply nominate you as the next of kin and have them release the deposit to you. We share the proceeds 50/50.
    I am aware of the consequences of this proposal.I ask that if you find no interest in this project that you should discard this mail.I am not a criminal and what I do, I do not find against good conscience,this may be hard for you to understand, but the dynamics of my industry dictates that I make this move.
    If you find yourself able to work with me, Contact me only through this email address (XXXXX),Please observe this instruction religiously. Please, again, note I am a family man; I have a wife and children.I send you this mail not without a measure of fear as to what the consequences,but I know within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches never come easy or on a platter of gold.
    I await your response,here is my Email again (XXXX)

    Unfortunately, spam is a disadvantage to having an email address and there isn't much you can do to stop receiving them. However, you can filter these messages using a spam filter. Check with your email provider to see what options they offer to deal with spam. If you are using apple mail, turn on the junk mail filter in the settings (Mail, preferences).

    How can I clear the information in my search bar? For example, if a web-site such as;
    www.google.com
    is listed on my search-bar how can I delete this site from the search-bar?
    Thanks

    If you mean the Google search bar on the Navigation Toolbar then you need to remove all that history.
    You can right-click the textarea of that search bar and choose "Clear Search History".
