Small oval Grey Indicator at top of screen What is it

I have a small grey oval indicator showing beween th Time and the Wifi indicators at the top.  Does anybody know what this is please.

I believe it might be an indication that an app is using your Location Services.  I know whenever I look at the weather with the Weather Network app (which makes use of my location), a small grey icon appears for a few minutes after that.
It's just a guess but it gives you a lead to follow.

  • Today, randomly my iPhone 5 stopped working. It has been on this black screen with the apple logo and some small white writing at the top of the screen for many hours. I've tried rebooting it and connecting to iTunes but nothing has worked.PLEASEHELP

    PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!

    It likely means there was still water inside it and something has now shorted out and permanently damaged one or more components.  THE very worst thing you can do with wet electronics is energize them - even a small drop of water inside on any of the circuitry or electrical contacts can cause catastrophic damage.
    Take it to Apple for a free evaluation, but most likely you will need to replace it.  For the out of warranty fee ($269.00 USD) you will get a refurbished replacement (like new, with a factory new screen and battery).  An out of warranty replacement will also re-instate your remaining warranty, or 90 days warranty, whichever is longer.

  • TS2570 My Mac is stuck on grey screen what's wrong with it and am I going to lose everything

    My Mac is stuck on grey screen what's wrong with it and am I going to lose everything

    Hopefully you have a backup, but...
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

  • Grey bar on top of page onYouTube ios safari.

    Ok, so suddenly I have a big ugly grey bar on top of the page when I try to look at youtube on safari on the ipad.
    The grey bar is displaying the YouTube app icon, with a button to open the app ( because I have the app installed, I imagine it would say install if I didn't.)
    Now if I wanted to use the app, guess what, I would. I prefer to look at youtube on my browser.
    The problem is that on the grey bar at the top left corner is a tiny (X) button to dismiss the grey bar, which I would very much like to do, but it is impossible because I cannot press the (X) because it is positioned in such a way that its like there is no button there. I tried repeatedly to close it, instead, it just keeps opening the YouTube app, which I don't want to do.
    Is this bar going to remain on safari all the time when I want to look at youtube?
    I don't understand why I'm being pushed to use the app. I know I have it, I don't need reminding, I'm choosing not to use it, i prefer  safari version to app, why is safari doing this?
    I feel like Apple is trying its hardest to annoy everyone and ruin what was a slick seamless service before Steve jobs left the game.
    There are several other little annoyances like this that I can't even be bothered to get into, all beginning immediately after Steve was out of the picture.
    Meanwhile, chrome browser for ios is displaying everything beautifully and is becoming my main browser on ipad.
    Are they trying to push me toward the Google phones and tablets, because it's working.
    Does anyone know how to dismiss this irritating grey bar?

    Hi all,
    I am having trouble getting some things done by changing the html/css
    we use apex 4.1 and sapphire theme 17
    all I want to do is to decrease the size of the bar on top of the page and get rid of the ugly border at the bottom of it
    this is code you find on page 0 , region  
    <STYLE type="text/css">
    #topbar {
    border-bottom: 0px;
    #header {
    height: 15px;
    </STYLE>getting rid of the bottom border ok
    however as soon as I make #header smaller than 50px, the whiole layout gets messed upThe layout is behaving exactly as requested. What you're seeing is not the "layout getting messed up", it's the background image with a fixed-size "header" applied to the page <tt>body</tt>, visible through transparent elements that are now in positions not anticipated by the designer of the theme.
    You need to shift the page background up with respect to the viewport to allow for the 35px difference in <tt>header</tt> height between the theme's 50px and your 15px:
    body {
      background-position: 50% -35px;
    }Note that this introduces a subtle change in the header as the gradient fill now appears to start with a darker shade.

  • TS3274 Small lock appearing on the top bar and display not rotating.

    My apple ipad ii showing a small lock symbol on right top bar and the display is not rotating. This happened after kids were playing games. Any wrong key pressed or why?

    The orientation lock is activated. To unlock, double click the home button to bring up the multitask bar, swipe from left to right until you see the orientation lock icon next to the media play controls. Tap on it to disable it, click the home button to return to the home screen.
    Also described here, in case the side switch is set to lock your screen rotation:

  • Just got a 5C, is it normal that when you transition from Siri to calling someone that the symbols along the top or screen go all feint and blurry?

    I have one it works fine. yeah, the Mac instructions aren't great. Try this.
    (1) make sure you have your VCR audio and video outputs connected to the side with the two selection switches.
    (2) be sure you know the difference between the audio and video outputs no matter which colors you use.
    (3) make sure the indicator light is green on cable that connects to your computers firewire port.
    (4) when you operate the vcr through Imovie. you will only be able to play your vhs tape. so to fast forward or reverse. you must use your vcr remote or your hand.
    (5) to import your footage just click on import in imovie.
    That should solve your problem. Also, in the future put these questions in the imovie forum.
    P.s. if this is helps you give me a vote or two. LOL
    anymore questions email me

  • Small horizontal opening towards the top of the iPhone's face??

    I do know that information is SOMEWHERE...
    I have kept the original (out of the box) clear, smooth screen protective "skin" on my iPhone. It looks good and is very clear; it prevents smears & scratches on my phone.
    However, I do notice that it blocks the small, horizontal (about 1/2 inch across) opening near the top of the screen: what is it for again? Does it have to do with my phone not exhibiting enough volume in the phone talk/answer mode?
    Thanks!
    - Roger T

    Well, not really. I am just curious about things not totally clear, or just merely puzzling.
    To wit: p.12 of the iPhoneUserGuide pdf manual shows a detailed description of the
    phone different areas, functions, features... and openings.
    Speaker and Microphone are pointed out via arrows (bottoms), while everything else on the unit is precisely described... EXCEPT that slit close to the top. I suspected that it would be a conduit for sound, but thought of asking nevertheless. Oh well, that's what happened when ones reads the f... manual too close.
    Thanks for the reply. I'll just replace the original plastic protective film with the one I purchased. The fir (bubbleless that is) probably won't be as good!

  • Grey Horizontal lines accross the screen

    My iphone has grey horizonal lines accross the screen. Everyday they seem to get longer. Is there a way of fixing this?

    My 1st gen iphone is also doing this now.. The top line is all grey and now the second from top has also started and moving across daily
    Out of warranty and jailbroken here in Thailand so my phone's running life of 1.5 years is at an end. It's never been dropped so i am disappointed about this and i'm reading a lot of stuff on google regarding this grey line problem.
    Ho hum

  • Bridge from CS3 won't open and just sits on the task bar. If I hover over it, I can see a small view of the last screen I was working on. It won't open up full screen, what should I do. I've closed it and restarted my computer numerous times with no luck.

  • Is there another way to close apps other than deleting them from the multitask bar.....I have a small crack in the bottom of my screen and that part of the screen does not recognize the touch.  :(

    Is there another way to close apps other than deleting them from the multitask bar.....I have a small crack in the bottom of my screen and that part of the screen does not recognize the touch. 

    There's generally no reason to be closing them that way at all. The apps you see in the recents bar are just that, apps that you used recently. Most of them are doing absolutely nothing. The only apps that are really doing anything in the background are ones that play music and ones that are using location services. Just leave them be.
    Best of luck.

  • How do I only show typed URLs in the Top Sites screen?

    It's really obnoxious to see hundreds of ephemeral URLs that you'll never visit again on the Top Sites screen. Is there a way to make this user friendly so I can only see the URLs I typed. I am happy to set something in about:config.

    No, this is for Android version. I would love to disable the stupid "Awesome" screen. The link you posted explained how to turn the tab garbage off on the desktop version, but Mobile (i.e. Android) version ignores the parameter value.
    Likewise, the above "browser.urlbar.default.behavior" parameter set to '32' produces the reasonable behavior I want on the desktop, but the Mobile (Android) version just ignores this configuration parameter.

  • After updating to ios5 the shortcut 'tapping top of screen' to scroll back to top does not work! Is there a way to get that back?

    Since updating my ipad2 to iOS 5 the shortcut 'tap top of screen to quickly scroll back to top' no longer functions! How can I get this back?

    It still works on my iPad - is it working on any of your apps e.g. Safari, Mail, Notes, and are you touching right at the top of the screen (I've seen a few other posts implying that the area of the screen that you need to touch isn't quite as deep as it used to be) ? Have you tried a reset to see if it works after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Why does my Lightshop 5.6 hangs on opening with "not responding" at top of screen.

    I managed to use the programme for the first time after original install. Next day it just hung on opening with the panels all their on screen but with the splash screen still centre and "not responding" at top of screen. I am totally new to Lightroom and set it up using Scott Kelby's book Lightroom 5 everything appeared to set up properly. I uninstalled the programme and reinstalled exactly same thing has happened. Is their a maximum caralog size that is usuable, mine is 2.7TB and is on one of the desktop's 3 discs.
    Advice please, thanks

    No, but try terminating and restarting Safari:
    1. Press the Home button
    2. Double click the Home button to bring up the "Recent Apps" tray.
    3. Touch and hold on the Safari icon in the "Recent Apps" tray until a "-" appears.
    4. Touch the "-" to terminate Safari.
    5. Restart Safari and see if your Bookmarks are back.
