I have an icon thats appeared in finder ..i don't know where its come from and what its for. It doesn't  respond in any way when I click it.How do I get rid  of it?

I can't select it .. I click on it and nothing happens. The only thing I seem to be able to do is a two fingered click which brings up a context menu for the side bar preferences..but unfortunately this icon does not appear in the list.

  • I have very thin, colored lines running vertical on my desktop monitor screen.  I don't know where they come from or how to get rid of them.  I started with one and now have three.  Can anyone give me some insight about what to do in getting rid of them?

    I have very thin, colored lines that have shown up on my IMac monitor screen.  I don't know where they came from or how to get rid of them.  I'm concerned now because I started with one and now have three.  Does any know why this occurs or how to get rid of them?

    I got an address from Applecare, although I can't place my hand on it right now. I didn't bother persuing the letter route myself as I didn't expect much. I know that the location was Cork, Ireland though as that where the UK Applecare is based as far as I'm aware. The best thing to do is to call Applecare (if it's free) and discuss the issue. State that you are not happy wit the fact that you will have to pay to have the problem resolved especiiay if it is an ongoing problem that has not been resolved. I ended up speaking to a senior manager of the Applecare team who then proceeded to tell me about mailing in my grievence to customer services division or something like that.
    If I can find the address I may post it if I'm allowed.
    In the case of age, Schools usually have a 5-year life-cycle as they tend to be used differently than consumer machines, i.e. being used constantly on a daily basis for at least 12 hours with no break. you would expect issues to appear after a few years, but I expect problems that arise through defects to be resolved and stay resolved. As I mentioned we had machines for around 2 years before the lines appeared and sent them to be repaired. I'm happy with that. What I am unhappy about is the fact that the problem has reappeared exactly in the same way and now I'm left with around 7 machines that I either pay loads to repair or, the more likely replace the machines with newer ones since the age is now big enough to warrant the replacement.
    Sorry for the lengthy moan, but these are the reasons I purchased Apple ahrdware in the first place to avoid the "not our problem" stance some PC vendors  usually take, similar to the Dell monitors thread mentioned in here somewhere.

  • I have a picture on my iPad that I don't know where it came from and I don't know how it got there. How can I find out.

    I have a picture on my iPad that I don't know where it came from don't know who it is and don't know how it got  there. How  do I find out how it got there?

    Where are you seeing this picture?
    Its really tough for another user to tell you where the picture came from ...email attachment? ...screen shot?....saved from the Internet?
    It had to be something that you or someone else did on your iPad for this picture to appear - some user action had to be involved.

  • Apple support page doesn't recognize my serial number of my iphone 5. Instead it have another iPhone 5 serial number that I don't know where it comes from

    I was reading on the internet that Apple just made an iPhone 5 battery replacement program and that I need to provide the serial number to see if my iPhone cualify for the replacement. So i went to the support page where i found the link to the replacement program and just need to put my iPhone serial number and see if it cualify something that i was sure it will because the one that were affected are the one that where bought between septermber 2012 (the month i bought it) and january 2013. When i click submit i got a message that says .
    When i saw that "I already replaced the battery" I log in to my account on the support page and I didn't found my actual and only iPhone 5 i have registered in my products, BUT i have another iPhone 5 case open and 3 services to that iPhone 5 i don't know and its not mine. That iPhone have another very different serial number and when i check the services they have done are from an Apple Store in California and I from Puerto Rico.
    Can someone explain me what to do or anyone have this same problem, tell me
    Thanks in advance.

    It's possible that if they serviced your phone before, they replaced the entire unit making you ineligible for the battery replacement. Have you had your iPhone replaced thought Applecare recently?
    Hope that helps.

    You "do that last time"? Does that mean you already had tried this before posting? If so, I fear you may have tried other things as well...in which case, I request that you list out EVERYTHING you have already tried along with the specific results of each attempt.
    Further -- "nothing happen"...as in, your BB did not reboot? Or do you mean that the reboot completed fine, but nothing changed regarding the symptoms you reported.
    Please be very careful and explicit as the only information we have is what you say here...assumptions and guesses on our part are made much more difficult when there is little information provided.
    Thanks and let us know!

  • I have a symbol that has appeared on my iphone 4s top right just left off the bluetooth sign, it's an arrow on a circle with a padlock in the middle any idea where it came from and what it is

    That's the portrait orientation lock (keeps the screen from rotating to landscape mode).  To turn it off, double-tap the home button, swipe the list at the bottom to the right, then tap the left-most icon (to the left of the music controls).

  • When using the Pencil, I need to be able to draw an organic dotted line, but there is a shortcut in place that connects the dots because I'm double clicking. How do I get rid of this shortcut?

    When using the Pencil, I need to be able to draw an organic dotted line, but there is a shortcut in place that connects the dots because I'm double clicking. How do I get rid of this shortcut?

    What is the purpose of the double click?  If you click once to deposit each mark in sequence the dots should not join. However, if you click once to create the first mark, then hold down the Shift key, each subsequent mark with the Shift key held down will join the dots and create a line.

    How do I get rid of i t and get Adobe Reader again.

    Windows update KB2918614 to the Windows Installer Service has caused similar issues with other software.  You might want to try removing that update (it will have been installed near the time you began having this problem).  Then reboot and try again to install the Adobe application.

  • 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.

    Cannot use any menus or dock icons. Tried turning off computer but message appeared asking 'am I sure'. If I press shut down button it doesn't respond. Any ideas? I was dropping multiple  clips into my movie/project when it happened.  It has been frozen for over an hour now. I can't hear the driving doing any work.

    Thanks a lot. I had previously held the power button down and up popped the 'are you sure' message whhich provided a shut down button to press but it didn't work. Thanks for you help. I'll have a look in iMovie now to see if I've got any corrupted files. Thanks a lot
    Kind regards
