I have a black moveable bar on my screen

I have a black moveable bar on my screen that talks to me. It tells me everything I am doing, and it's so annoying! How do I turn it off?

It looks like this.

    My new iPad Air has a black thin line running through my screen. How can I remove it?

    First try a reset. Next if it's brand new I'd bring it back to the Apple Store and let them see it.

  • Black vertical bar with lines on Macbook pro screen Appeared out of nowhere

    I was working on my computer late at night. Like always.
    I went to bed, and left the computer on in it's screen saver , as I always do.
    When I woke up I had a black vertical bar on the screen about 1 1/2 inch thick with some flickering lines next to it.
    here is what it looks like: http://www.talkcitee.com/ourspaceimages//2coolcode/2coolcode.jpg
    I don't believe this to be a memory problem, I can take snapshots of the full screen, and I can hook up an external monitor with no problem. Also restarded PRAM plenty of times, etc.
    But this black bar appeared out of nowhere. As if one way my screen decided it was going to blow out on me out of nowhere. I've had this MacBook for 2 years.
    Question is, do you think the problem is:
    a) the screen
    b) connection / short problem to the screen inside the macbook
    I hope it's B , because they told me it would cost $800 to replace the screen which is stupid cus I can get a new macbook pro for less than that.
    I think there is a connectivity problem with the hardware , possibly a short, or something messed up with the wires or pins that link to the screen.
    I noticed after repeatedly opening and closing the macbook, there were some changes in the small flickering lines next the big bar, and some of them turned solid black.
    Has this happened to anybody else before?

    Usually what happens is that over time the cable comes loose from the back. This happens because the enclosure within the hinge housing is quite tight and the LVDS cable has little room to move around. Because of the frequent opening and closing on the lid, the cable starts to move out of place try opening and closing it a few times and push it back very gently. You might see the line disappear or decrease slightly.

  • Programs have started to shut down my finder bar (iPhoto, iTunes, Photobooth) and now it happens when I try to access my iPhone4 in iTunes. I have a Black Macbook running 10.5.8

    I have a black Macbook running 10.5.8. A while ago iPhoto stopped opening. Time Machine also stopped working properly- it would back up for about 10 gB and then would stop. Photobooth also then began to stop working correctly; it would make my finder bar disappear if I opened it requiring me to shut down the computer and restart. Last week when I went to sync my iPhone4 the same thing happened. Last night I couldn't even open my iPhone4 in iTunes when I tried, closing iTunes and removing the finder bar again. I have been to the Genius Bar and it appears that my harddrive is okay. I have repaired permissions but still this keeps happening. Any ideas on what to do?

    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop then click Get Info.
    See: Capacity
    Before deleting anymore files, verify the startup disk.
    Open Disk Utility   /Applications/Utilites
    Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Click: Verify Disk  (not Verify Disk Permissions).
    If the startup disk needs repairing, follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks.
    If the startup disk is ok, try installing the Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo Update.
    that I can't access my app store to set it up.
    Just so you are aware, you use iTunes to sync, restore, and backup an iPhone, not the App Store for Mac OS X.

  • Why does interlaced video have vertical black bars?

    Despite looking all over the internet and asking video editors I know, I've never yet found a satisfactory answer to this question:
    When I bring DV PAL footage into my Mac, why are there always very thin black vertical bars on each side?  And why is the image being squeezed slightly?
    I think it may have something to do with interlacing.
    If you look at my screenshot here.
    You can see that the top image (QuickTime 7 Player) exhibits the issue I'm talking about (the prescene of combing on the man shows this is interlaced).
    But the black bars have disappeared in the bottom image (QuickTIme Player X) - and you can see that it looks slightly horizontally stretched by comparison. I'm guessing this is something to do with the fact that QuickTime Player X DE-interlaces video.
    The question remains though... what is it about interlacing that introduces black bars and an incorrect aspect ratio??

    If you are ripping "standard" format content (4x3 ratio) then it will just appear like that on a widescreen TV. You shouldn't have that problem if you're ripping widescreen content (16x9 ratio).

  • FF will not hold the theme I like, it changes to a black tool bar. I have ff 7.0.1

    Do you have enabled auto-fill for the location bar?
    You can check the pref browser.urlbar.autoFill on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    You can also make the protocol visible.
    You can set the pref <b>browser.urlbar.trimURLs</b> to <i>false</i> on the <b>about:config</b> page to see the http: protocol.
    You can set the pref <b>browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled</b> to <i>false</i> on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the highlighting of the domain and see the full URL more clearly.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • When I got a new iPhone5, I experienced short battery life, and system sofware issues were not the cause. The camera also takes a blury picture regardless of lighting and I have the black one. Has anyone else experienced similar problems?

    When I got a new iPhone5, I experienced short battery life, and system sofware issues were not the cause. The camera also takes a blury picture regardless of lighting and I have the black one. Has anyone else experienced similar problems?

    What makes you so sure it isn't software?
    The camera can be focused by take the point of focus on the touch screen.
    If it is new as you said, it should be under warranty. Make a Genius Bar appointment or contact Apple with a repair request.

  • When I go into bookmarks and click on a, the screen shows what appears to be a compass with a lock overlay, on a black background. At the bottom the address/url are shown. Theses cannot be opened. Other bookmarks have the black background and compass, but

    When I go into bookmarks and click on a site, the screen shows what appears to be a compass with a lock overlay, on a black background. At the bottom the address/url are shown. Theses cannot be opened. Other bookmarks have the black background and compass, but no lock. These can be opened by clicking on the compass. What is wrong?

    Thanks to the-edmeister and cor-el, for speed of response. I had not inadvertently moved the Bookmarks-Toolbar : I was confronted with the situation right after Firefox 9 had installed and unfolded in front of me. At first, the toolbar area looked reassuringly familiar, but when I started normal work, I discovered the lack of tabs and the only reference I could see to TABS was a tiny button inviting me to group tabs (which was unhelpful to say the least, filling up the screen with tiny unreadable windows). Sure, there were tabs forming, but they were invisible, unless I used the group button. Eventually, I was brave enough to use "reset toolbars" and the tabs came back in the way I want them, but it was a traumatic 2-3 hours out of my life. I kept on "adding a new toolbar" to see if I could make use of it; I kept giving them names, but it is impossible to see where the new tool bar is! (the toolbars don't have a little bit to grab at one end). In my opinion, Firefox should not have allowed the Tab Bar and the Bookmarks Toolbar to become caught up with each other - they have completely different functions. I don't think I would like to play around with "Make a new profile"! I was so desperate that I have already downloaded version 3.6 again, ready to install, for if I was unable to resolve the version 9 problems above.

  • How to add a black censor bar to a face that moves with the face?

    Please tell me how to do that
    I have final cut pro x

    Does it have to be a black censor bar? if not look at the Censor effect.
    If it has to be a black bar. Make the bar using a Custom generator in Solids. Crop it to whatever size you want using the Crop function in the Viewer. Use the Transform function in the Viewer to position. You can keframe the crop and transform functions to animate the bar as needed.

  • Black bars around my screen.

    I have recently gotten adobe premiere, and after effects. Everytime I export there is a black bar around the screen. http://us.toshiba.com/video-electronics/camcorders/camileo-x100/ That is the camera link , and it is 1080p 30fps. thank you in advance.Btw it is .avi.

    We need to know what your composition settings are. If you create your compositions by dragging the footage into the New Composition icon icon at the bottom of AE's project window you should not get black bars. If you're getting a 2 or 3 pixel black bar in your footage that is probably normal. Cameras don't necessarily fill up every pixel.
    A screenshot wold help a lot.

  • Why do I have a black screen when I merge to HDR from Bridge?

    Why do I have a black screen when I merge to HDR from Bridge?

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.
