My ipod touch has a box around everything i touch
At first the touch wasn't working. Finally the battery died and I was able to charge it and now the slide isnt work right, its very slow. i have to double tap an icon for it to work. a box appears around anything i touch even around the time.
You have an accessibility feature turned on, likely VoiceOver. Triple click the Home button and then go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn them off. Use three fingers to scroll.
You can also connect the iPod to the computer and go to the Summary pane of the iPod in iTunes and click on Configure Universal Access and turn it off.

My IPAD has a little box around everything I tap. I have tried to reset the IPAD 2 but to no avail. Now I am locked out and cannot put my passcode into the Ipad2 so I cannot back up the IPAD 2 when plugged in. It is charged ..I was reading a Foot Smart email when this occured. Help
Sounds like you have VoiceOver (one of the accessibility features) 'on'. Try triple-clicking the home button and see if that turns it off, and if it does you can then change what a triple-click does via Settings > General > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut (or Triple-Click Home depending upon the iOS version).
If that doesn't turn it off then you can either turn it off directly on the iPad (you need to use a tap-to-select and then double-tap to activate/type process and 3 fingered scrolling) to go into Settings > General > Accessibility and turn VoiceOver 'off', or you can do it by connecting to your computer's iTunes (after typing in your passcode via the tap/double-tap process) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4064 -
Why is there a white box around everything I touch with no response at all?
You have Voice Over turned on. Once you tap the item and see the box, tap it two more times to activate the selection.
Then go to Settings>General>Accessibility>Voice Over, and turn it off. Remember, 3 taps per selection until you have turned it off.

When I export my file to generate a .pdf, the text box literally has a box around it! How do I make that line disappear?
Sounds like you have a stroke on it. Select the frame and set the stroke to none.

My ipod is acting so strange? boxes around everything? and wifi doesnt work.
Hi
Well this morning I turned on my ipod and my internet wasn't connecting so I went to settings >> wi-fi >> and it was off, so I tried turning it on with the off/on slider and when it went to on , the box that comes up to select a network didnt appear. I tried again and it still wouldnt. It isn't on airplane mode either :\
How do I fix this?
After that I went to General in Settings and I probably clicked something I shouldnt have, now EVERYTHING I tap comes up with a box around it and I have to double app to select things and it is REALLY annoying! I tried going back to General but now I have this stupid box thing I can't scroll down to fix it
What should I do? I wanted to email Apple but I can't find how to.. is it just calling them these days?

I'm no sure what to do with my phone. I have an iphone 4s that has an outlined box around whatever icon i touch. It won't reset either. It also is working slow too. I have to double click on whatever icon i'm trying to use just to get it to work.
Answered in another thread. Probably you have Voice-Over activated in the Settings...general...Accessibility section.
Triple-click your Home button to toggle it off agin maybe? -

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!
HeidiYour daughter shows great promise!
Go to System Preferences/Universal Access and turn OFF Voice Over.
(She pressed Command-F5 !) -
HT1212 ipod touch 4 screen is locked and has boxes around clock
My brand new ipod touch 4 has a locked screen. When I try and slide the bar it doesn't do anything but a "block" similar to a text box appears around the clock. Anyone have a suggestion to fix this problem?
I think you have the accessibility VoiceOver feature turned on.
Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off and any other one off.. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see the following for how to turn off via iTunes:

IPod Touch has an N with circle around it in top right corner?
iPod Touch has an N with circle around it in top right corner.... what is this?!
look closer. it's probably the portrait orientation lock, simply a symbol (actually a lock inside a circular arrow, not an "n") that's telling you that you locked the screen rotation to prevent landscape viewing. if you press the home button twice and slide the backgrounded apps bar to the right, you will be able to see the music controls and a grey box to the left. that box can be tapped to lock or unlock the screen orientation.

my ipod touch 2nd gen has 2.2 IOS on it it wont let me do anything everything i try says it needs 4.2.1 to download i have tried putting 4.2.1 on it and it says it can not play on this ipod how do i get the IOS updated to something that allows me to download
Are you sure you have a 2G iPod? A 2G can go to IOS 4.2.1 via:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
However, a 1G can only go to iOS 2.2 via iTunes and 3.1 via:

My daughter's ipod touch and my iphone are are the same account. How do I set up adifferent account for her without losing everything she has purchased and downloaded?
To keep from losing purchases you will both need to continue sharing the Apple ID for purchases.
I would reccommend you both create new Apple IDs for iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime and keep the current one to share purchases in the iTunes & App Stores.
Use shared ID here:
Settings > iTunes & App Stores
Use individual IDs here:
Settings > iCloud
Settings > Messages
Settings > FaceTime
Settings > Game Center -
i bought an ipod touch at a pawn shop and it has account and registered to another person on it and i don't know the password. and i started my own itunes account on the computer and when i connect the ipod to the computer the other persons account shows up to be synced to the computer and when i hit the sync button it says that the ipod can only be synced to one library at a time. then it says that it would erase his library contents and all other apps in order for it to be synced to my account. so i was wondering if there is anyway to sync all the music and other apps to my account with out it erasing everything on the ipod.
Do what iTunes is telling you to do. Wehn you purchased the iPod the apps and other media do not transfer to you. Then are permently locked/lienced only to the person who purchased them. Using the stuff on the iPod is stealing.

On my PC, in I-Tunes, the iPod (touch) button disappears every time I try to sync or update. Everything has been rebooted, but no changes. Any ideas on how to sync to the IPod? Better yet, how to keep the ipod button on screen when itunes is open and the ipod is connected?
- Have you tried another USB port and cable?
- Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
