How to get rid of shadowed border around screen on MacBook Pro?

Just wondering if anyone knows how to get rid of this shadowed border on the screen of my macbook pro. I think my young daughter made it appear when she was striking various keys at random on my computer when I was not there. The cursor does not work when its over the shadow (i.e. will not depress the red 'x' button to exit a window and I have to drag window out from under shadow to close it).
It also appears in the middle of screen when airplay is turned on. (See screen shots below)
I have been unable to find any other discussion on this issue.
Above is screen normally and below is when airplay is turned on. Please help, thanks.

Hi rose_hedley,
I'm wondering if you have restarted your computer by now and if that helped.
That border is from Exposé with Show Desktop enabled (F11).

  • How to get rid of white border around Container Div (main box)?

    I have look and look for a solution but couldn't find one. I'm developing a website but the main issue is the white (I changed it black so you can see what I'm talking about)  border around the website when i go to preview it from DW to Google Chrome or Internet Explorer.
    I've tried everything! from setting body margins all to zero but nothing works... can anyone help me?!

    No that's not what I'm talking about, the black div bot on the top is what i put, I put the entire style.css code in my last post, I'm talking about the white border on the right inside the scroll bar.
    let me explain from the bottom, let say I don't put Margin: 0 under Body  in my style.css . I get a white (I made it Green to show you better) border around my entire webpage looking like this:
    so this made me curios because I wanted to know why it gave me this border without putting Margin: 0 under Body in my Style.css sheet. so i went to inspect element inside Google Chrome and saw this:
    I was shocked because it automatically added 8 px in Margin around the body. So I took all the advice i was given in this thread and put the Margin: 0 ; under Body in my Style.css Sheet and it did this:
    for Some reason it says Margin 0 in the inspect element under body but put a default white border there to the right....
    I have explained this the best way possible. PLEASE CAN ANYONE HELP ME?!
    ps. its doing this for all browsers so i know it not a chrome issue!

  • How to get rid of tap to click delay in MacBook Pro

    Does anybody have any suggestions for getting rid of this delay? When i tap, i have to wait likely .5 sec to open any folder or link.

    On my MBP, most of the files and folders that I click on are retrieved almost instantaneously ex. iCal, Finder, text edit.  Some like iTunes and Aperture take several seconds.  The response time with the Internet is all over the map.  I am assuming that with the smaller applications and files you are experiencing this delay.
    I scoured the Apple support files and found no information regarding your issue.  Perhaps you should look on the right hand side of this page where ii says 'More Like This'.  If you do not find the answer there and still see this as a problem, go to the Genius Bar at an Apple store.
    Perhaps some more knowledgeable person will see this post and have a solution.
    I'm sad to say I can't do any thing more for you.
    Ciao.

    In PSE 10 you can click on Settings on the welcome screen and choose your preference. In earlier versions it’s best to make a desktop shortcut.

  • How do I get rid of a border around a link?

    I made a 'twoColFixLtHdr.css' document. I inserted .png files
    (button images) into the sidebar and have these linked to documents
    using the 'Browse for File' icon in the Properties window. In
    Safari and IE the pages look fine in that there is no blue border
    indicating that the files are linked. In Firefox, however, there is
    a blue border surrounding the files. Is there any way to get rid of
    this border so that it doesn't show up in Firefox?
    Thanks for the help,

    Get a tutorial/book about CSS. Learn how it relates to HTML
    and which
    things you can affect through CSS by changing properties.
    Learn how to
    address specific elements by using selectors. These selectors
    are the
    most powerful, but IMHO also the most underestimated feature
    of CSS.
    It's really not that difficult. With just some basic
    knowledge, rules
    like
    a img {border: 0}
    become almost trivial to write and understand.

  • Can't get rid of white border around image

    http://www.gunnar.ca/laminatepage2.htm
    I created a rounded corner in photoshop for my table. I
    created a cell in the bottom left corner of the table and placed
    the gif. There is a thin whit border around the outer edge of the
    gif, so it doesn't look genuinely rounded. Can anyone tell me how
    to get rid of that so it looks like the table is actually rounded?
    Thank you!

    Because the table containing the GIF has a border. In your
    styleA.css
    stylesheet, the rule:
    .border {
    border: 1px solid #E5E5E5;
    adds a border to the table. Delete the rule. Of course - that
    may affect
    other things that use the .border class. Or - delete the
    class from the
    table tag.
    Several problems with the page:
    styles.css cannot be found
    sideNavStyles.css cannot be found

  • Getting rid of white border around photos when using iphoto to iweb

    Hi there,
    Am creating web pages in iweb and importing photos from iphoto. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of the white border around my photos (image frame)? Hoping to enhance some of the templates with my own images. I also have photoshop elements and have been having the same problem there. Sure appreciate. Kim Strouble

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The link to the site is broken. There is a fix for some of the strange goings on since the MobileMe conversion. See Wyodor's post in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1605665&tstart=0. After applying the fix to iWeb I found I might have to republish a second time, occasionally a third and make sure I cleared my browser's cache.
    If you're using Firefox 3 that's a different solution that can be found here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7486799#7486799
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • How to get rid of the border ?

    Hi,
    i've traced an image and want to use it as an .eps in 3D, but i still have a border path around the image border. How do i get rid of it ? I only want to have the path for the black areas.
    Regards,
    Frank

    Frank,
    That sounds strange. There may be something wrong, se below.
    Can you get rid of the border/white stuff with Select>Same>Fill Color, and delete all the white paths (you may need to do some Ungrouping)?
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

    No, your Yahoo account is not in iCloud (which only handles iCloud mail), it is in Yahoo, and the Yahoo mail account is on your iPad.
    But the MacBook Pro will have none of it! I write this question now as I fear that I will be totally demented very soon and unable to formulate my thoughts clearly!
    Get the correct settings for your account from Yahoo and set it up manually.
    By the way, I also find the "password" issue problematical. It seems Apple want my Apple password rather than my eMail password. All very confusing.
    That would depend on what you are trying to do.

  • How to get rid of iCal Alias popup screen on reboot?

    Every time I reboot my computer an iCal Alias pop up screen appears that is full of jumbled text like:

    What is this?  Why is it suddenly appearing every time I reboot (it's been doing this for the last few months but never did it before that)?
    Most importantly, how can I get rid of this permanently?
