My ipad displays a black box around icons and isn't scrolling properly. I have turned it off then back on, which is the extent of my limited knowledge.

I was trying to get it to airprint to my supposedly supported HP eprint printer, but was having no luck. After trying to follow the online instructions on the HP website, it told me to turn it off wait 30 secs then turn it back on(along with the other devices but thats not my issue now) When I turned it back on it has a black box around all icons, I have to "double click" to get anything to open, and is not scrolling properly. I have turned it off and back on again, no change.

i am expereincing this problem....what was the solution??

  • Since I installed iOS 7.1.1, my iPad has gone crazy. My apps go in and out, the screen twitches, and jumps about. I have tried turning it off then back on, which calms it for a short while, then it starts again. HELP!!!

    What is wrong with my iPad ?

    (A) Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.
    (B) Try reset all settings
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
    Note: Data will not be affected but settings for Wi-Fi, FaceTime, Message, Home Sharing will be reset

  • Black box around buttons and windows

    My 19 month old daughter has learned to climb up to the desk, and OPEN my laptop! Before I could stop her, or turn on AlphaBaby, she had pressed a number of keys, and now a little black box highlights various things in the programs I have open. As I type this, the red circle at the top left to close the window has a box around it. When I was trying to find how to turn it off in system preferences, the bar at the top with the arrows and Show All button had a box around it. In Mail my inbox window has a box around it.
    Any ideas as to how to turn it off?
    Thanks!
    Heidi

    Your daughter shows great promise!
    Go to System Preferences/Universal Access and turn OFF Voice Over.
    (She pressed Command-F5 !)

  • TS4209 When i wake up my iMac from sleep my wifi is disconnected.  It also disconnects my iPad, my wives iPad, my iPhone & Sky On Demand which is connected via wifi. To reconnect all devices i have to switch off & then on again wifi on the iMac. Can anyon

    When i wake up my iMac from sleep my wifi is disconnected.  It also disconnects my iPad, my wives iPad, my iPhone & Sky On Demand which is connected via wifi. To reconnect all devices i have to switch off & then on again wifi on the iMac. Can anyone help?

    Had the same issue and finally solved it.  After the upgrade to Mavericks our 2 new Macbook Airs stopped connecting automatically to Wifi while the older machines the kids had still worked fine.
    Bought a new airport extreme and problem solved.   Our Airport Extreme was about 5 years old and was probably not compatible with the new OSX.
    BTW this was after trying everything people suggested on this forum and a 4 hour marathon tech support call with Apple where we reinstalled the OSX.
    ***** to need to spend $200 but glad the problem got solved.
    New extreme is also mega fast so its all good.

  • IPad screen unresponsive with boxes around icons????

    OK so I was browsing some photos in my iPad (Current Gen) on the 500px photo app. The app became unresponsive and was missing buttoms normally there, so I clicked the home button and got to the home screen. Once I did this, I was unable to scroll between my home screens. Every time I touch the screen, a rectangular box appears the app nearest to where I am touching. If I touch an app, it will not open, I can barely get in to settings. I plugged in to itunes and did a restore but it did the same thing. I powered it off and on a few times and the same things happens. When I touch the slide to unlock, a rectangular box displays around the slide to unlock and it takes several swipes before responding. This rectanuglar box floats around and it takes 20 clicks to get in to settings. Any idea whats going on and why I cant fix this? I am running 5.1.1

    If VoiceOver is on and you want to turn it off from the device instead of from iTunes, remember that a double-tap acts like a single tap and you need to use three fingers to scroll when VoiceOver is on:
    Press Home.
    Tap Settings. Then double-tap Settings.
    Tap General. Then double-tap General.
    Use three fingers on the screen to scroll to Accessibility.
    Tap Accessibility. Then double-tap Accessibility.
    Tap VoiceOver. Then double-tap VoiceOver.
    Tap "On" next to VoiceOver. Then double-tap "On" to turn it off.

  • Strange... Black boxes around buttons and files

    Anyone seen this issue or know how to fix it?
    Sometime last week, black boxes started appearaing around files or folders on my desktop, buttons in the finder, and file names in open windows. It is always one box at a time (whatever I select or mouse over.)
    The box is 2-3 pixels thick and has a white stroke around it. It's not effecting performance, but it is really anoying.
    Thanks in advance!

    Ugh, sounds like your video card may be going.
    If you create a new, clean & fresh account and log in, do you get the same thing?

  • How do I remove annoying black box surrounding icons and windows...

    I hate to think that this something very simple but I can't figure it out.
    There is a black box that surrounds icons when I single click on them and while I'm in my browser its surrounding the red x circle in top left of window.
    Whole in iTunes it surrounds the main window with the list of music.
    Does anybody no what is this and how do I remove it??

    enter command+F5. this will turn off voice over which you've accidentally activated.
    That's a handy shortcut but if you want to check this and related things you can accidentally activate, open System Preferences > Universal Access

  • My 4th gen iPad screen will suddenly enlarge so that I can't use anything on screen. The only fix is to turn it off then back on. Any clues?

    My iPad has been suddenly enlarging the screen view to almost double. This occurs randomly. I then must completely turn the iPad off using the power button (the slide isn't always visible), wait a few minutes then power up. Sometime I have to repeat this more than once. Any fixes?

    On the Home screen, double-tap with three fingers to exit zoom.
    Then go to Settings > General > Accessibility and make sure Zoom is turned Off.

    iPad: Configuring accessibility features (including VoiceOver and Zoom)

  • Black square around icons

    when I am on the desktop or in an application, there is a black square around icons and I don't know how to get rid of it. Please help.

    You turned on VoiceOver, probably by inadvertently hitting Command-F5. Just hit it again to make it go away.

  • I'm suddenly seeing 2-point black boxes around any desktop icon I highlight, and around various elements in any window I'm working in. I have a G5 PPC iMac running 10.4.11.  Neither restarting the machine nor running Mac Warrior has helped.

    Thanks! I often inadvertently turn on the voiceover when I use the wrong keys to send an element to the back in Quark. Funny, I turned off the voiceover on my own, but never noticed that the black boxes had gone away until I saw your post.

  • Make the purple box around text and icon of a button go away?

    I have noticed that the first button of a group (or the last one pressed) displays a purple box around the text and/or the icon of a button. I don't want this. How do I get rid of it?

    Have you tried setting the colour that you want manually? Or perhaps setting the setOpaque() method with false?
    Not entirely sure what you mean...what look and feel are you using? Is it the Metal LAF or something else?
