"Phantom" field cannot be deleted; preventing submission of form

Hello,
I have created a submittable form for my company, which is to be used for our employment application on our website. Somewhere along the way, a "phantom" field seems to have magically appeared in my document. It does not have the usual light-blue background that a text field has, but rather just has the typical black outlike, and a transparent body. It can't be deleted or edited in anyway. I wouldn't mind it, since it's not actually visible to someone unless they're editing the PDF (which would only be me!), but it seems to be preventing me from making the form submittable. When I try to submit the form, I get a generic "Submission Failed" error. I can't be sure that the phantom field is the problem, but it's all that makes sense. Does anyone have any idea how to get it out of the document?
I am attaching what it looks like. Thanks in advance!

First, thank you for the response!
I can click on it in Forms Edit with no problem, but it can't be deleted. I click on the field and it is highlighted in blue to show I have it selected, and I can then PICK "Delete" and click on it, but it doesn't do anything; the blue highlight goes away, but the field is still there. If I'm not in Forms Edit mode (if I'm just in Content Editing), I can't even see it. It's not set to hidden, locked, or anything like that. Like I said, I wouldn't care if it was there or not, since it won't be visible to the end user, but it seems to prevent me from making the form submittable.
I would attach the PDF for review if that would help, but it doesn't look like I can do that. I've never used the Adobe forums before, so maybe I'm just not seeing it.

I keep getting strange emails dated 1970 that have no content and cannot be deleted, is this some form of virus

Hi, i keep geeting emals from "no sender" dated 1970 that are impossible to delete, is this a form of virus and how do i resolve it?

That has been my experience, also Demo...happens on my iPhone and iPad, but I have not paid attention to the dating. My experience has been that almost everytime I do a large amount of deleting, maybe need to note just how many or how many are left and see if there is a correlation, I get some "empty" emails appearing that I cannot delete. When that happens, I quit Mail, and then when I reopen Mail there is a full complement of emails present. Emails have been pulled in from those not being displayed due to the limit on number displayed that I am using.
My experience may not be the generic answer...it is the way this has been working for me, so whatever that is worth.
I haven't gone through the process you describe of reset, since the quit/restart has worked.
Obviously this is an "undcoumented feature" of Mail
Do you know if anyone has filed a bug report with Apple on this? Seems like an appropriate thing to do under the circumstances.

Text fields cannot be deleted in field group in Query

Hi Experts,
I created an additional table ZTEST for node A in InfoSet and chose some fields which have text fields into Field Group for display.
Then in SQ01, those selected fields appeared in my Query field selection. Of course I can tick it to display or not tick it.
But when I don't need those fields, I go to SQ02 to delete addional table ZTEST in extras in InfoSet and generate it. I go to SQ01 to check whether those fields disappear or not. However, some of them are still there. e.g.
Checkbox: Text: ZTEST-TA_TYPE
Checkbox: Text: ZTEST-TA_STATUS
Since there is no such a table in Infoset, I have no other clue to delete remaining text fields. Do you have idea?
Regards,
Ying

Hello Ying,
After you made your change to the infoset, you need to completely exit out of SQ01 before running query again. Call SQ01 like it is the first time you are calling it for a logon.

When trying to update my Mail Account Mailbox Behaviours settings, after making the changes when I try to close the settings pane the following messages occur: Invalid Incoming Mail Server The “Incoming Mail Server” field cannot be empty. The incoming mail server box has in light grey colour: p02-imap.mail.me.com in it and I cannot edit its content. Any ideas what is going on and how to fix it?

Hi all,
Mattreichenbach is probably on the right track here with a reset of settings. I think I've determined the issue has to do with cached account information and inconsistencies for the account name. This seems to crop up when I've changed my password and it hasn't propagated fully to all the servers, devices, certificates, etc.
Hopefully many here are on their way to restoration of service by now but it's clear that a lot of people are having the same issues. Very frustrating and definitely something Apple needs to resolve: incoming mail server field grayed out, incorrect autopopulation of different fields, other unanticipated behaviors. If you're still having issues, though, here's what worked for me...
First, head to the iCloud preferences pane in System Configuration and choose "Sign Out". When I did this it prompted me with a number of "are you sure" type questions about retaining information on my local machine. I chose to delete/remove the info each time simply because it should all be restored by the cloud and I didn't want to risk a massive duplication of my data... I will say, I'm back up and running with no issues so I suspect you can make the same delete/remove choices... But use your own judgment. I don't want you to lose any data (ie.. please use care as you do this because I cannot bear the thought of causing anyone to experience the pain of data loss).
Once you've signed out of iCloud, restart your system. When you get back in, head to the Mail, Contacts and Calendars section of your System Preferences and add your account back by choosing the brushed aluminum "iCloud" button. When it asks for your account name, use your @iCloud.com email address. I am all but certain my issue had started because one of my devices (iPhone or whatever) had been set up with an email alias specified instead of my @iCloud.com address.
Apple, if you're reading through any of these issues (there are TONS of users having this same problem). Take note, that your icloud service somewhat frequently is not responding and yet tells the user that the password is wrong and this prompts people to be changing their passwords unnecessarily. This has happened to me on numerous occasions. Also, I noticed that last week's outage corresponded to a VERY similar outage exactly one year ago to the day. Sounds like planned maintenance to me and I think you could do a better job notifying folks so we're not wasting HUGE amounts of time troubleshooting a problem that we have no hope of fixing.
Hope that helps some of you!

Anyone besides me get an annoying popup that cannot be deleted/closed reading: FaceTime Password Please enter your password for "my e-mail account name" Never used FaceTime.

Dear Community,
Anyone besides me get an annoying popup that cannot be deleted/closed reading:
FaceTime Password
Please enter your password for "my e-mail account name"
It happened to me today for the first time since upgrading to Mavericks 10.9.3, no "stop lights" in the title bar of the popup, in fact nothing at all.
I've never established a FaceTime account. So I tried to delete FaceTime from the Applications folder on the "system" disk thinking this may eliminate the popup. Mavericks informed me "Cannot delete FaceTime as it is used by the operating system.
Is this a MAC virus? Or is this an example user community alpha/beta testing that Apple just announced?
TIA,
GonzoBernelli

That being the case, why then did the FaceTime popup even appear in the first place?
It's not clear to me what it is. If it occurs again, please take a screenshot of the popup and post it in a reply.
To take a screenshot hold ⌘ Shift 4 to create a selection crosshair. Click and hold while you drag the crosshair over the area you wish to capture and then release the mouse button. You will hear a "camera shutter" sound. This will deposit a screenshot on your Desktop.
If you can't find it on your Desktop look in your Documents or Downloads folder.
When you post your response, click the "camera" icon above the text field:
This will display a dialog box which enables you to choose the screenshot file (remember it's on your Desktop) and click the Insert Image button.
The screenshot attachment option for this support site appears only on computers - not on iPads.
⌘ Shift 4 and then pressing the space bar captures the frontmost window.
⌘ Shift 3 captures the entire screen.
Drag the screenshot to the Trash after you post your reply.

    WBS element: 2012766-001 The wbs status is "REL"
I found a similar problem on the forum but not really a solution other than giving a suggestion as "Enter a reason for rejection at item level.".
but when I put the field ORDER_ITEM_IN-REASON_REJ = 'Z1' and ORDER_ITEM_INX-REASON_REJ = 'X',the error is still occurring.
'Z1'-WBS has been cancelled
How can I remove this item from the sales order?
Please help me.....

Mail in Mountain Lion "Incoming Mail Server" field cannot be empty

I put my wife's email account which is in iCloud on mail with a couple of other iCloud accounts. To identify who's iCloud account is who's, In the preferences on the account where you edit the description from the default "iCloud" to User's Name iCloud and after you hit save I get an error saying The "Incoming Mail Server" field cannot be empty. Yet is has p04--imap.mail.me.com in the field that is greyed out and I cannot edit the fields contents and therefore doesn't allow me to change the email account's description. I've tried deleting the accounts, logging out of icloud, etc. Nothing has fixed this yet.
On a side note, one of my other email accounts from iCloud keeps popping up with it needing the password field to be entered. No matter what I try, it doesn't take the password. I can log into it just fine through safari.
So it seems like iCloud is having issues as well as Mail and contacting Apple twice and escalating to tier 2 both times has yeilded the person saying they didn't know and then hanging up on me. Does anyone else know what I might try?

Okay, I had this problem and solved it as follows:
1. Deleted any non-functioning iCloud-IMAP accounts from Mail's Preferences. I had two that were working fine, so I left those in place. One of those was the primary iCloud account on my Mac, i.e., the account used for "Find My iPhone/Mac/iPad" and iCloud storage, etc.
2. Then I quit Mail and restarted my computer.
3. Went to my other devices and made sure the primary account was the same one there. [Note: It was not -- the primary iCloud account was different on my iPhone versus my Mac, I think this discrepancy might have been the source of the problem, but I don't know.]
4. I also made sure my wife's Mac uses a different primary iCloud account, one that is not on my machines, although we share one secondary iCloud Mail account (which is not the primary on any device -- it is always a secondary account).
5. Then, following MChannel's advice upthread, I went into System Preferences > Mail, Contacts & Calendars, and added the formerly problematic iCloud accout that way. I have everything turned on for my primary iCloud account. All of the secondary accounts only have Mail turned on (although I don't think that matters -- you can turn on the other features that are available there if you like).
6. Opened Mail and voila! -- everything is working fine. Accounts are all set up properly without me even opening Mail's Preferences.

Cannot move/delete locked infoobjects

Hi,
In one of my ODS object, I want to move some info objects from Data Fileds to Key fields. When I am trying to do this, getting an error "cannot move/delete locked infoobjects".
I have deleted all the data from the ODS and then tried. Even though it is giving the same error.
Thanks
Ramesh Ganji

Pl try the following:
1. Delete the data in the ODS and try to change the ODS.
2.Delete the data in the master data table of the object that you wish to shullfe anf try to change the ODS>
3. If you have loaded another ODS or cube from this ODS, delete data from there as well and then try the change.
4. FInally, check if you see any entries in St12 and unlock them.

If you used iTunes to get the photos on the phone, then use the same iTunes and uncheck the music you don't want and do another sync.

Bug: Numbers File cannot be deleted because it is in use

Whenever I try to delete a Numbers 09 file, I get the error message that the file cannot be deleted because it is in use. I get this without the file being open at all, so it shouldn't be in use and I should be able to delete it.

It's actually a plain and simple file. It contains several sheets, each sheet 1 or 2 tables, but no links to external files nor links within the file from one table to another.
And indeed, I only have it with Numbers files even if I try to delete the file immediately after startup of my computers (iMac and Macbook, both running the same versions of OS X and Numbers). If I try a couple of times, sometimes the file is deleted, but I haven't found out what has changed so that the file can be deleted.

How to overcome this problem.

Issue got fixed. There was an open Sales order Line because of that line the issue was coming. After cancelling that SO Line, Users were able to update the Item field.
