My little red circle with a 1 in it that looks like an update, is on my MAC desktop, I have no idea what it is for or how to get rid of it

On my desktop on the dock, where the calendar app is, there is a rd circle with a 1 in it like the ones on iphone that show up for u pdates, I have never seen this on my desktop, does anyone know what it means? I don't think it is for an update?

Cheryl,
The number "1"  means that you have an event invitation. Open iCal and use iCal>View>Show Notifications to choose what to do with the notification.

  • There is a little red circle with a 2 in it over my iWeb icon

    Hi There,
    I have a rather strange problem and I am a bit embarrassed by it, because I don't know what it means. Anyway when I open iWeb 09, there is a little red circle with a little number 2 in it appears over the iWeb launch-bar icon.
    See this screenshot for a more detailed explanation: https://files.me.com/jasongtelford/otc2kg
    Can someone please tell me what this means because I have looked every where and I cant find out. I am beginning to think that there might be something wrong with my iWeb
    Also can you please tell me how to find whatever thing it is that it represents

    Thanks so much for telling me. I have now figured it out thanks to you LOL it was to do with the comments on my blog

  • I cannot install iTunes updates as of today.  Does anyone have any idea what changed with iTunes?

    The question apparently needs to be typed in twice...  good work.  Here it is again:
    I cannot install iTunes updates as of today.  Does anyone have any idea what changed with iTunes?

    Is this a distinct issue from the 42404?
    If so, are you getting an error message when you try to install iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

    Are you sure you have a PowerMac? They can't run Mac OS 10.6.8. Maybe a Mac Pro instead?
    Can you post a screen shot of that portion of the screeen for us to review? Does the question mark replace the Apple that's at the left end of the menubar?

    You have enabled the TTY function. To turn it off, go to Settings - Phone - TTY = Off.

  • My App Store icon keeps displaying the little red circle with the number 4 and when it is opened to the updates tab there are no app to update. The page displays "All Apps Are Up to Date". This just recently started an occurs on both my iPad2 and iPhone5

    Why is this happening?

    I've seen reports of this happening when updates have been issued for apps that make them only work on iOS 7, users of earlier versions of iOS get notified that there are updates pending but when you actually go into the app store updates function it realises they don't apply to you because you are on an earlier version of iOS than what the new versions  require.
    In fact I just had a very similar experience on my iPod touch with iOS 6, in App Store app it flagged 7 app updates in red badge but when I clicked on the Updates button it only listed two  apps to update, once they'd been applied the outstanding updates badge disappeared.

  • Unknown Icon: Red Circle with Feather Inside

    I have an Icon that appears on the top of my Curve 8530 and I have no idea what it is for.  It is a red circle with a white feather inside of it and it shows up with either the number 1 or 2 next to it and then goes away after a bit.  It continues to come and go at various times.  Does anyone know what this is for?

  • IOS 6.1.3 installed on iPad but no red circle with 1 on the Settings icon

    Hi,
    Looking at an iPad to buy on ebay and specifically want to get one with version 6.1.3 still installed. I emailed seller, they sent pic of the About screen in Settings which shows it's on this version (also, it's an iPad 4th Gen, 128GB, if that helps), but in pics of the item, displaying the icons, on the Settings icon there is NO red circle with the 1 in it. Why would this be? I've never seen this before (everyone I know still on this version, on either iPhone or iPad, has this little red circle with the 1 in it, obviously indicating the update, which none of us diehards wanna do, til we absolutely have to of course). Does this mean that this iPad is NOT upgradeable, ever? Would love some help on this, don't want to purchase this iPad until I know why that red circle ISN'T there.
    Thanks!

    Hello mom_5_01,
    The following article should be quite beneficial in your endeavor to update your iPad.
    iPad: Unable to update or restore
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4097
    You may encounter the following symptoms while updating or restoring your iPad:
    iPad continually restarts but never displays the Home screen.
    An update or restore did not complete and the iPad is no longer recognized in iTunes.
    iPad stops responding, showing the Apple logo with no progress bar or a stopped progress bar, for over ten minutes.
    If this occurs, you can place iPad into recovery mode and attempt to restore again. If iTunes displayed an alert with an error code, see this article before attempting the steps outlined here.
    Cheers,
    Allen

  • What does the red circle with a line thru it mean?

    I'm exhausted! Trying to find an answer to WHY iTunes won't allow me to drag a song to my iPod Nano?  It was originally an MP3; I unzipped the file; I played it in iTunes song list; it had a ! next to it; iTunes asked if it should find the file; iT found the file; the ! was removed; I played it again in iT; when I tried to drag it to my iPod, THERE WAS A RED CIRCLE WITH A LINE THRU IT????  I have yet to find--i googled and youtubed and appled til my eyes and brain and fingers ached and burned ;(--what the SYMBOL means?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
    I have been able to download similar audio of this nature...Not sure why this one is BLOCKED?
    Thank you!

    What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
    From your description "little circle with a line in it", that sound like a symbol when you are trying to do a cannot do operation.
    What exactly are you doing in your edit activities when you see this circle with a line in it? Is it at the end of the mouse cursor?
    Can you post a screenshot of it?
    If my first impression of what this is happens to be correct, then "How do I get rid of it?" answer comes from
    a. defining what you want to do
    and
    b. correcting any mis-steps you are taking in doing that
    We will be watching for your follow up.

  • How do I restore my Ipad 4 from my desktop computer? My charger was broken. I bought a new one but now it won't charge. I have a BATTERY bar in the middle of the screen that is flashing RED and I have a symbol on the bottom that looks like a charger.

    How do I restore my Ipad 4 from my desktop computer? My charger was damaged so I bought a new one but it won't charge. On my Ipad, I have a BATTERY bar in the middle that is flashing RED and an icon on the bottom that looks like the end of a charger. I have tried to force into reset mode, by holding the sleep key and home button SEVERAL times but it does NOT work. I have plugged my Ipad into my desktop computer, but I do not have a screen on my desktop that is coming up. THIS HAPPENED BEFORE AFTER I DID AN UPDATE AND WAS LOCKED OUT AND I USED EITHER ICLOUD OR ITUNES TO RESTORE, NOT SURE WHICH AND I FORGOT HOW.

    Hi MrsMoosie,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPad. If your iPad isn't responding or doesn't appear to be charging, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful, in particular the following portion:
    If you don't see the charging screen within an hour, or you see the connect to power screen, check your connector, USB cable, and power adapter. Make sure that everything is plugged in firmly, free of debris, and not damaged. You might want to try a different USB cable or power adapter.
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
    If you can’t charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

  • IPod Classic 160gb Red circle with Red X

    My 160 has always been a little "off". Recently, I got a red circle with a red circle in it icon. Is this really the "kiss of death" I've been reading about. This is a double-whammy for me because my iTunes library dumped out on me and I was only able to salvage about 7800 of 13000 songs. Is it over?

    teh apple suport guys will say it's a hard drive failure, which is correct, but the same thing happened to me and i saw this site. it seems crazy, but take the advice here

    smack the side of the ipod while holding it hard. do it over fast and over untill you hear a weird sound coming out of it, then it should come back to life. worked for me, saved me 250 bucks, but later my clasic broke down because of the sync failures going on with the classic (if you dont know what i'm talking about, look around the apple discussion site classic page or go here http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2151907&tstart=15)
