How do I remove a small box on my vector that I didn't add?

I've been working on a downloaded vector, but when I opened up it up in Ai a black square appeared in the center.  (this did not appear on another computer).  The square is now pink, has a "1" in the upper lefthand corner, and a jagged line in another square beside it.  What is this and how can I get rid of it?

that's an artboard.
press Shift+o.
you'll see an x on the box. you can close it by clicking on it.
you can also open your artboard window (menu/window/artboard) and delete it from there.
you must have at least 1 artboard for document. so if you don't have any other artboards you can't delete that one. you can also edit that one to be bigger

  • How do I remove the black box that appears over images in Aperture?

    I may have engaged a shortcut in Aperture but I would like to remove this function. How do I remove the black box that appears over images in Aperture? It gives you the image name, camera make and so on. It only appears when you use your mouse and let go of it over an image.

  • How do I remove an app from the update list that is under someone else's apple id?

    How do I remove an app from the update list that is under someone else's apple id? So this way the update always fails because it asks for someone else's password. I don't have the app on my mac, it only appears in the update list. It's just annoying, because the update keeps appearing, and the reminder keeps reminding me that I should install a new update.

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
    Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
    Raw Query
    as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
    4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
    If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

  • How can I remove a signature on a PDF file that I created using Preview on iMac computer??

    How can I remove a signature on a PDF file that I created using Preview on iMac computer??  I inadvertently hit the icon on the Preview tool bar with an xS and a line through it.  There is my signature in the middle of the PDF file I was editing.  How do I get rid of it?  Cannot select it.  Cannot find any tools that allow me to delete it.  The Preview documentation tells how to create and apply a signature, but not how to remove it.  I think when a signature is added the doucment becomes locked from any editing.

    Hey needadobehelp10,
    Using Adobe Acrobat/Reader, you can simply change your PDF view settings under "View > Page Display > Single Page View"
    Is this really you wish for?
    Please let me know.

  • How do I remove an alert for a calendar item that has long since been deleted? and yet goes off mysteriously, un-deletably, and un-editably every single ****** week !!

    How do I remove an alert for a calendar item that has long since been deleted? and yet goes off mysteriously, un-deletably, and un-editably every single ****** week !!

    I have the same problem with my iPhone.  I set up a recurring calendar event for every Thursday.  That event is no longer happening during the summer, so I went in and chose one from the current month and selected Delete.  Then it gve me two choices, one of which was to Delete All Future Events of this one, and that's what I chose.  I figured, this way, I'll still be able to see the ones from the past, but won't have to see (or hear the alert) for the future ones.
    The following week, my phone alerted me to the appointment, and even showed it on the initial screen, even though it wasn't in the calendar.  I went in to the calendar and NOTHING was scheduled for that day.  So why is this happening?
    So I set up a new recurring event, for in the past, then went in and deleted all furture occurances, and it did the same thing... still alerted to an event that was no longer in the calendar.
    I hope somebody else has found a fix, or at least a reason for why this is happening.

  • How do i remove an app from the cloud so that I can install it fresh again on my iphone5s

    How do i remove an app from the cloud so that I can install it fresh again?

    Your apps are not stored in your icloud account.  You should be able to delete the app from the device using the wiggling icons and tap the X process and then downloading directly to device from the itunes store wirelessly.  Don't do it via iTunes on your computer where a copy of the app is stored.

  • If I buy a digital book in  EPUB size from a web site, how I may read it on my IPad? Specify that I didn't buy it from Apple Store.

    If I buy a digital book in  EPUB size from a web site, how I may read it on my IPad? Specify that I didn't buy it from Apple Store.

    First, epub has nothing to do with size, it is a file format that is popularly used for ebooks, but ebooks published in epub file formats vary greatly in file size.
    It will depend on where you buy it.  Many books are DRM locked (Digital Rights Management, a software lock).  If so, in order to load it into another companies reader or reader software, you need to use something like Adobe Digital Editions to "authorize" the book on the device.  Apple's iBook software does not work with ADE.
    If the book was DRM free, you should be able to read it in any ereader or ereader program that supports epub format.
    If the book is DRM locked to B&N, Amazon, Kobo or whichever seller you shopped from, then the simples thing is to download their free app for the iPad (they all make one, in fact they all make free apps for iPad, Android, Mac OS X and Windows).
    So the short answer is yes, you should be able to read any epub ebook file on an iPad, although not necessarily in iBook.
    So, books from
    Amazon - get the Kindle reader app
    B&N - get the Nook reader app
    Kobo - get the Kobo reader app
    non-DRM epubs can be read in iBook, Nook, Kobo, or Google Play

  • How do I remove the small cross that is in the centre of a shape (when viewing the outline)?

    How do I remove Shape cross hair from the middle of a shape please. I am using Illustrator CS3. I am making an image to cut out using a Cad Cutter so i am using the VIEW OUTLINES OPTION. I have used cirles in my compostion and when I view the outlines there is a tiny tiny cross in the centre of the shapes? I am unable to remove these and if i leave them on, then the printer will cut a cross in it's place which is what I don't want.
    Please can someone tell me how to remove the cross hairs, not from Normal view becuase they aren;t there but from the OUTLINE View.
    Thanks so much, I hope someone can help.

    This is the Feature request forum but select your item and then open the Attributes panel. On the left side are two boxes. Make sure the left box is highlighted.

  • How do I remove annoying black box surrounding icons and windows...

    I hate to think that this something very simple but I can't figure it out.
    There is a black box that surrounds icons when I single click on them and while I'm in my browser its surrounding the red x circle in top left of window.
    Whole in iTunes it surrounds the main window with the list of music.
    Does anybody no what is this and how do I remove it??

    enter command+F5. this will turn off voice over which you've accidentally activated.
    That's a handy shortcut but if you want to check this and related things you can accidentally activate, open System Preferences > Universal Access
