I have a text window open that displays every move I make on the desktop and I can't get rid of it. Help!

My grandson was playing with my mouse and keyboard and did something so that now I have a text window open that displays every move I make on the desktop and I can't get rid of it. Help! The window continuously tells me where I am, etc.

Go to System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing Tab > Turn VoiceOver off.

  • Multiple windows open up in one browser. I drag and dropped websites to the taskbar and now can't get rid of it.

    I thought it would be convenient for 3 windows to open automatically in one browser. It slows my laptop down and I want to be able to click on Firefox and have just one window open. Any ideas how to fix?

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • TS3297 I have an error message 42110 when I sign into itunes, what does it mean and how can i get rid of it

    When i open up itunes it displays the message, "an unknow error occured (-42110). What does this mean and how do i get rid of it?

    Hello BROUN,
    That specific error has to do with Movie Rentals.
    From "iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting:"
    This alert is related to iTunes Store movie rentals and authorization issues.
    Make sure you are using the most recent version of iTunes and QuickTime. They both can be downloaded free of charge.
    If your iTunes is up to date, remove the SC Info folder.
    As the article says above, if you continue to have issues then refer to "iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases" for instructions on how to remove the "SC Info" folder.
    Hope that helps,
    -Griff W.

  • I have iphone 4 and put on IOS 5 and ICloud and now my battery is doing what everyone else's is doing.  I noticed that the music icon seems to be in the background and I can't get rid of it.  Is this effecting the battery?

    My battery is draining too quickly since I installed icloud. I successfully moved everything from mobile me to icloud.  I notice that the music icon and playing the music is still in the background after I close all of the other apps that I have opened in the past. Can you help me identify how to rectify this problem?

  • I think my Macbook has a virus. It plays Blackbird by the beatles and I can't get rid of it. I don't even own that song on Itunes. Help!

    Does my MacBook have a virus when it playe Blackbird by the beatles? I can't make it go away. It plays over music, You Tube, movies, etc. I don't own Blackbird on itunes. help!

    Question. Does this happen when you open apps?  Or just certain apps? Go to systempreferences and open sound. look in sound effects and see if it got put there. Does anyone else have acess to your computer? I think someone would have to get into your computer to do this. I've never hear of a virus doing that. But you could go to google type in macscan and download it. open and run it  to see.

  • I suddenly have a large Sun shaped logo appeared on my screen. What is it, and how can I get rid of it please?

    I suddenly have a large Sun shaped logo appeared on my screen.
    Can anyone please tell me what this is, and how I get rid of it?
    Many thanks

    HI there
    Thank you for trying to help me. You're going to think I'm really thick, but I can't seem to do a screen shot.
    I pressed the command and the 3 button, plus what I believe is the shift key, Hat is the one on the left hand side, with an arrow on it, which you use for a capital letter yeah?
    But nothing happens.
    Also I can't see what you are reffering to when you say click onto the camera icon? I can't see any such icon.
    Sorry to be so useless.
    I have just noticed that it is obviously connected with the sound. It has a row of boxes undeneath the logo, and as you increase the volume, the boxes fill up from left to right, and the logo flutters at the same time.
    have alogitec amplifier and speaker system connected to it, and have just noticed that the sun logo looks very similar to the Logitec symble/Logo.
    Is that of any help please?

  • Settings app has red number 1 at the top and I can't get rid off it. I have been through everything in settings eg. Turned everything off and it is still there

    Since I updated to ios5.0.1 I have had a red number one on the settings app like there is something that needs to be done. I have tried to turn everything off in settings and gone through everything one by one but cannot get rid of it.
    Any ideas?

    I have the same red number 1 on my settings app after the 5.0.1 update

  • I updated the software which was supposed to allow deleting photos from photos and it worked for a time and now only let's me delete a few of them.  Also I found that the photo section tripled some of the photos and I can't get rid of them.  What is going

    I updated the software as required for the iPad and now I can no longer delete photos from the app in the photo section.  I had been able to do it but now there are multiple photos of the same pic and I can't remove any of them.  What is wrong?

    Photos in the Camera Roll or in the Imported Images album can be deleted within the album. One the album and select the icon with the curved arrow. Then tap on the photo or photos you want to delete to select them. Finally tap delete.
    For photos in other albums you delete them by moving them out of the albums they were in on your computer. If you're using a Mac open iTunes on your Mac and move the photos out of the album then go through the sync process with your iPad.
    If you're using a pc then move the photos out of the folders they are in and go through the sync process.

  • I have music and photos playing on my tv via Apple TV.  but the menu still appears on the TV and I can't get rid of it. Any ideas/

    How do I get rid of the menu on my TV after I set it up to play music and run photos.
    And then after about 5 minutes it shuts off the photos and goes to the info about the musician and song playing.
    I think this is getting too complicated for someone to simply answer in an email. But thought I would try asking.
    Thanks

  • All of a sudden I have all my bookmarks displayed on the left of the screen and I can't get rid of them. How do I get rid of this box?

    All of a sudden I have a box on the left of my screen with all my bookmarks in it. I can't find a way to disable this, and I would like to.

  • I have a .band file on my desktop and i can't get rid of it

    I can't delete it, move it or get info on it.
    What do I do?

    Click here and follow the instructions, or if they don't cover that type of adware, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

    Hi,
    According to your descriptioin, I don't think this is system problem, it should be Intel driver problem. It would be contact Intel to confirm this issue whether this is their driver problem.
