How to I get rid of the black outlined box that tells me everything I am clicking on?

My friend pressed random keys on my computer, and now there is a rectangular square that is black and outlined with a white line, and whatever i put my mouse on, the black box tells me what i have clicked on. And then when I do click on something, it puts a black line around what I have clicked on, it is stressing me out and i have no idea how to get rid of it. Please help.

    Every time I go to type in something on a search bar/log in/etc., a drop down box appears listing everything that's been typed in.

    Hello enrique a.
    Instead of trying to re-invent the wheel on this one, take a look at an article such as this one to help you take care of these exclamations.  Basically, it means iTunes is unable to locate the file on your computer anymore.

    Thanks Meg. Trouble is it disrupts emails addresses being keyed in - that is, not from the Contacts book...
    How so?  You trying to type over it? If you keep typing the addresses drop below to next line.  I have tried and tried to make it disrupt anything without success.

  • When using 'sponge' effect on a fill, how do I get rid of the white 'pixellations' (if that is what they are called around the edges of the fill?

    When using 'sponge' effect on a fill, how do I get rid of the white 'pixellations' (if that is what they are called around the edges of the fill?

    I tried to give you this solution before, but maybe you missed it. This simple procedure will mask out all the various sponge edge-artifacts. Here it is in simple steps:
    1. Make the path shape you want to apply the sponge effect to.
    2. Highlight that path, and select Object > Path > Offset path ... choose +2 points (or whatever works for your drawing scale, to ultimately eliminate the outside line and the artifacts) -- this will make a slightly larger shape, based on the original shape.
    3. Cut the outside path (command or alt-X), select the inside path, and paste the outer path BEHIND the inner path (command or alt-B).
    4. Apply the sponge effect to the OUTER path.
    5. Highlight BOTH paths, and create a MASK (command or alt-7).
    Now you have your original shape, with sponge applied, and the outer 2 points (or whatever your Offset Path was set to), are masked out, masking out the outside line and the sponge artifacts.
    This works with any Document Raster Effect Settings dpi.

  • Safari has added this stupid feature to bookmarks called cover flow and it covers up my list of bookmarks so I cannot edit/rearrange them.  How do I get rid of the black, useless space in bookmarks, bring back bookmarks manager?

    How do I get rid of this annoying feature in Safari known as cover flow which appears as a balck void in bookmarks?  the bookmarks manager is nowhere to be found and now I'm going to Google instead of Safari.

    Move the mouse pointer to the bottom of the black area.
    Mouse pointer should turn into a hand pointer.
    Double click.
    The Cover Flow  should shrink into small black strip at the top.
    To revert back, move the mouse pointer to the black strip at the top.
    When the pointer turns into a hand pointer, double click.

  • How can i get rid of the black bars?

    i have shot 720 video and when editing in final cut express i have these black bars on the top and bottom how can i get rid of them to have the standard effect please help

    Check the item properties of the sequence. It sounds as if you're editing in a standard definition sequence, which is the default that FCE creates, unless you set the correct format when you first launch the application.

  • How do I get rid of the Facebook blue box on my Firefox pages???

    How do I get rid of - and why is - the little blue box with Facebook asking me to go through Facebook instead of directly to where I want to go???

  • With Knoll Light Factory how do you get rid of the pinpoint of light that overlap obscuration layer?

    I have KLF 3.0 on AE CS6, I am trying to add a nice flare to some keyed footage of a rock star for music video...
    I set it up so it looks like a light is behind him and I want him to obscure it a bit when he moves around... However, I can't get rid of the little pinpoint of light where I have the source! My obscuration layer works properly, as he crosses it it dims the light, but the light doesn't totally disappear when he's in front of the "Source"! There's still a little pinpoint that crosses over him ruining the effect I'm going for!
    Does someone know how to get rid of that little artifact?
    I've tried tweaking all the settings to no avail...
    Thanks all!
    Aza

    Interesting. I have also experienced a similar problem involving a Knoll lens flare effect (v. 3.0) and obscuration, in this case some 3D text, backlit by a Knoll flare applied to a background layer. The flare moved across and behind the text and faded in and out either side of the text within the comp frame via keyframed opacity settings. The pinpoint of light appeared against the background at the end of the flare's path (beyond the text) on an opacity keyframe that was mistakenly adjusted to 1% instead of 0%. However after re-setting it to 0% and RAM previewing the pinpoint of light remained. Couldn't be eliminated. It was permanent and was also visible in the rendered output. The only quick way to eliminate it was to replace the background layer with a new one, add a new Knoll lens flare effect, copy and paste the keyframes from the original Knoll effect, check the opacity was indeed set to zero at the total fade-out frame and render/playback again. The pinpoint was gone. Puzzling. Not sure if this is what's happening in your case though.

  • How do I get rid of the Apple Watch ad that's just appeared as an app icon on my iPhone 6 Plus?

    Ad for Apple Watch has just appeared on my iPhone 6 Plus (iOS 8.3)--how do I get rid of it? Holding the button down to get jiggly app icons doesn't help--it doesn't have a Delete "x"; neither does it appear as an app in settings. I'm a bit unhappy about this appearing unbidden, out of the blue. If I want ads/demos, I'll download them. No call for pushing them onto my phone.

    It's not an ad/demo.  It's the app needed to use the Apple Watch with your iphone.  Like all apps that are part of the iOS, it can't be deleted.

  • How do I get rid of the black background in Facebook Photo Viewer?

    Pressing F5 works for Windows to remove the black background, but it doesn't work for Mac. Does anyone know how to get rid of it? Thanks!

    They are not "gray bars" that is the area off your page.
    Crop your view as Viking suggests.
