How can I stop the black box appearing round a movie?

So I've created a PDF with quicktime movies embedded in it on indesign, and I've taken the black outline off and have the movie automatically playing when you open the page. The problem is when it plays another black box appears round the movie and you have to click off it to make it disappear - it looks unprofessional and if you're in full screen mode this makes it turn to the next page, and we don't want that, do we.
Does anyone know how to get rid of this black box so that it stays without a border when it's playing? I guess it happens because the movie is selected, but I can't seem to find anywhere in the edit movie dialogue box that says anything about it.
Thanks.

Thanks Steve, we'll look into buying Acrobat X because it would look so much better.
One question though - If I was to sort out the settings on Acrobat X, would the black box still appear when viewed on Acrobat 8?

It's getting ridiculous that every time i open iphoto that it insists in being upgraded and repaired. Anyone know how i can get rid of this without reinstalling it?
Thanks

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

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!

How can I stop the X509Anchors password box from popping up?

I was messing around with some certificates trying to get Office Communicator to work on my Mac here at work.
Ever since then the keychain dialog box continually pops up asking for my X509Anchors password. I know the password, my problem is that this dialog box continually pops up. CalendarAgent is the main app that keeps trying to access it, though others do occasionally as well.
These are the steps I used to access the X509Anchors keychain and change certs:

How can I stop this dialog box from popping up asking for my password every 2 minutes?
I'm currently on OS 10.8.2

That entry in your keychain may be damaged. In the /Applications/Utilities/ folder, launch Keychain Access. At the left, the upper item selected should be login, and the lower on Passwords. At the right, locate (if it's obviously named), the item for X509Anchors and remove it. Close Keychain Access. Then next time you visit the site this is for, it will ask for your login information as if it were your first visit. Enter your info and a new keychain link will be created.

When inserting a checkbox, how can I prevent the note box from appearing?

To all,
After -reluctantly- "upgrading" from Acrobat Pro 7 to Pro X I find this new version absolutely maddening.
Pro 7's features were easy to find in the tool bar. Now in Pro X everything is "dumbed down" with everything "nested" into each other...
But I whine and digress from my problem:
QUESTION:
When inserting a checkbox, how can I prevent the note box from appearing?
With every insertion of a checkbox onto a form, a "notebox" appears.
Thank you,
Matt

As you can see, when I add a checkmark to a page/form, a "note" is automatically added also. In my old Acrobat v. 7, this did not happen.
Any ideas on how I can set Acrobat Pro X to NOT include this note?
Thank you,
Matt

When I record an audio track, there is a waveform. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing?

When I record an audio track using Logic Pro X, there is a visible waveform which appears as I record. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is still there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing? And can I do something to view it after it has disappeared? Anyone know the anser?

In Logic:
Preferences/Audio Set Recording Delay to 0 <zero>
This should always be set to zero unless a specific set of circumstances exist and you're audio drivers do not report position correctly.
On occasion, usually when importing a Logic 9 project, Logic-X randomly changes this to a negative/positive number. It's actually a bug in Logic, as it should always display the waveform.

How can I stop the number of unread emails showing on the icon for my main account including the number of emails in my gmail account as well?

How can I stop the number of unread emails, displayed on the icon for my main account, including the number of unread emails in my gmail account as well? The number is accurate (unlike the many users who seem to have phantom unread emails) it's just that I want each acc to show its own total, as it did before. I suspect I fiddled with some setting unwittingly. It seems to do it first thing each morning, particularly. Many thanks

If you go to Settings>Notification Centre>Mail each of your email accounts will appear here separately. You can then change if Badges are displaye on the Mail App - which will show you the number of emails - or not.

How can I stop the install process?

How can I stop the install process? It tells me my disk is damaged and to restart and repair, but when I restart it tries to install again....it's a never ending cycle. I'd rather keep the system I have than continue this mess.

Hello Serau1s,
It sounds like you are installing Mavericks, and are being prompted to restart and repair your hard drive, but when the computer restarts it goes back to the installation process. The following article should help you get that disk repaired by getting you to the recovery partition, named:
Disk Utility 12.x: Repair a disk
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5836
Print this help page so you can refer to it later. (You don’t have access to Disk Utility Help when you restart up your computer in the next step.)In the Disk Utility Help window, choose Print from the Action pop-up menu (looks like a gear).
Choose Apple menu > Restart. Hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys as your computer restarts.When you see a white screen with an Apple logo in the middle, you can release the keys.
Click Disk Utility, and then click Continue.
In the list at the left, select the item you want to repair. (Be sure to select an item that’s indented to the right in the list, not an item at the far left.)
Click First Aid.
If Disk Utility tells you the disk is about to fail, back it up and replace it. You can’t repair it.
Click Repair Disk.If Disk Utility reports that the disk appears to be OK or has been repaired, you’re done. Otherwise, you may need to do one of the following steps.
If Disk Utility reports “overlapped extent allocation” errors, two or more files occupy the same space on your disk, and at least one of them is likely to be corrupted. Check each file in the list of affected files. If you can replace a file or recreate it, delete it. If it contains information you need, open it and examine its data to make sure it hasn’t been corrupted. (Most of the files in the list have aliases in a DamagedFiles folder at the top level of your disk.)
If Disk Utility can’t repair your disk or it reports “The underlying task reported failure,” try to repair the disk or partition again. If that doesn’t work, back up as much of your data as possible, reformat the disk, reinstall Mac OS X, and then restore your backed-up data.If you continue to have problems with your disk, it may be physically damaged and need to be replaced.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

How can I stop the auto-saving of Pages version 4.1?

How can I stop the auto-saving of Pages version 4.1?

Why not just open your eyes !
Under 10.6.8, we had two menu items :
Save and Save As…
Now we have a single Save…
Since the first delivery of the macintosh,
a menu item whose name ends with ellipsis is one which always open a dialog.
Under 10.6.8 and older the Save button was used to save and already saved document without opening a dialog.
If the document was never saved, it behaved as the Save As… one.
With Lion the Save feature : save an already saved once document is no longer required as the system autosaved everything.
There was no reason to keep this aspect of the Save item.
Remaining tasks are those which were dedicated to the Save As… button.
The engineers choose to drop one op the now duplicating items.
The synthesis is the Save… item which clearly state what it is supposed to achieve.
Triggering it, we may :
change the name used to save
change the destination folder
export as .doc
export as Pages '08
Of course there is always the black triangle allowing us to use the stripped dialog or the full one.
