I have the command, control, and option key symbols that display on my desktop when I tap them on my keyboard. what is this called? and how do you get rid of them from doing this?

Not sure what this is called and I need help to get rid of it.

I already figured it out it was the act that sticky keys was on.

  • There are several login keychain items I'd like to get rid of. I've deleted them but they come back after several hours. How can I get rid of them for good

    There are several login keychain items I'd like to get rid of. I've deleted them but they come back after several hours. How can I get rid of them for good.

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
              Change Settings for Keychain "login"
    In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
    From the menu bar, select
              Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
    If the box marked
              Keep login keychain unlocked
    is not checked, check it.
    Select
              Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

  • Party HD and Passport HD menus - how do you get rid of them ?

    I am building a project and it complained that I have Passport HD menu as an "orphan".
    I just ignored and built.  Seems to be transcoding ok.
    In the past, I've had the dreaded Party HD menu pop into my project from nowhere. 
    Both of these menus entered the project without being invited and have caused me problems in the past.
    A while ago I had to build my project up again from zero after Party HD caused me problems.
    Whats the best way of dealing with these menus if they turn up in your project uninvited?

    Both of these menus entered the project without being invited and have caused me problems in the past.
    Well, the Party, at least, is the default in the default menu group, so you probably did "invite" it in, even if unintended.  Sorta like Bill Hunt or Robodog in the lounge.  A simple "snakes" and there they are....
    The real issue, as you have discovered and struggled with, is that sometimes, they won't leave when "uninvited."
    Whats the best way of dealing with these menus if they turn up in your project uninvited?
    Try to undo if you catch it at the magic moment.  Delete if later.  If the delete results in the orphan message, I don't think anyone has found a true solution.  Ignore and proceed, or start over are the two methods that work.

    You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup.  If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup.  You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone.  However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

  • TS4147 I updated my iphone yesterday.  I have the 4S.  I have my daughters and mine contacts now.  I don't want hers.  How did that happen and how do I get rid of them?

    I updated my iphone yesterday.  I have the 4S.  I have my daughters and mine contacts now.  I don't want hers.  How did that happen and how do I get rid of them?

    This happens with you are both syncing data such as contacts on your devices with the same iCloud account.  This will result in the data being merged and synced back to all connected devices.  To correct this you need to have different iCloud accounts on each device.
    To do this, on the device that will be changing iCloud accounts go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone.  After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from the phone, not from iCloud, so the other phone won't be effected by this.)  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different ID, then turn data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to your new account.  At this point you will have two separate iCloud accounts on each phone with identical data.
    Next, you'll have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and delete the unwanted data (for example, deleting her contacts from your iCloud account and vice versa).  These changes will be reflected on each device and things should now be fixed.

  • I have these black boxes around all the images i add. why are they there and how do i get rid of them?

    i have black boxes around all the images i bring into pages. why are they there and how can i get rid of them?

    Pages rememebers the last setting you used on images.
    So if you had a border on the last image the next one you bring in will have one too.
    To change that select:
    Inspector > Graphic > Stroke > None
    Spend a little time exploring the menus and particularly the Toolbar and Inspectors whcih are in reasonably logical progression from big things down to smaller details and clearly labeled.
    It is also possible that you have show Layout on which outlines objects on th screen so you can see what's what. To change that:
    Menu > View > Hide Layout

    Those look alot like file names and not infection names. I don't find any reference to anything like that on Norton or VirusTotal. Since you said these were Trojans, I would expect to see "Trojan" as part of the infection name.
    ".jar" files are executable Java applets. The random alpha-numerics would seem to indicate a cache file, likely from a browser with Java enabled. And we all know what ".zip" means.
    Worst case is that you had Java enabled in a browser and were infected by one of the late variants of the Flashback Trojan over a year ago or one of a couple of other attacks using the same vulnerability but targetted against a small number of political sympathizers. Much more probable is that thes were Windows only Trojans. Hopefully you have a fully up-to-date OS X, including Java, and have disabled Java in all your browsers by now.

  • On my ipad, there are dozens of "recently purchased" songs supposedly available for download from iCloud.  I don't recognize most of the songs - they could have been downloaded 6 years ago by my daughter.  How do I get rid of them?

    So there are all these songs, from ADELE to Zapp and Roger.  I don't recall purchasing any of them.  Some of them were clearly purchased years ago by my daughter, who now has a different account (and doesn't know the current password to my account).
    They do not show up anywhere in iTunes except on the iPad.  They are not downloaded to the iPad - but I don't want them to show up in the purchased index.  How do I get rid of them?  Do I have to join iMatch or whatever to do this?
    Also, this may explain why we're being told our iCLoud storage is full - there are actually hundreds of these unwanted songs.
    Any ideas? 

    Purchased music does not count against your iCloud storage and you cannot get rid of them in the purchased tab.
    What is backed up
    You get unlimited free storage for:
    Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
    Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
