Strange icon inthe notification line

For last 3 days there is appearing a strange icon in notification line of my phone.it looks like claw of acrab the bottom of which is squized by hand. Some number is also appearing beside it and the number is increasing daily

I don't recognize that icon, but it is some third party application you have installed on your BlackBerry.
Check ALL of your apps, likely a messaging or instant messaging application it is increasing constantly.

Strange icon-circle w/ diagonal line-starting up w/ Panther install disc 1

I just installed a new hard drive in my Powerbook G4; I used the Tiger upgrade disc to format the hard drive using disc utility. This proceeded without issue. Then, I restarted, ejected the Tiger upgrade disc and inserted Panther install disc 1; first I see the Apple logo, then all I see is a strange icon that looks like the universal icon for "do not" as used with traffic signs (a circle with a diagonal line) and that is it! What does this mean?

Hi Gary!
"...I used the Tiger upgrade disc to format the hard drive..."
May I ask why you used the Tiger disc, and not a Panther disc?
"I restarted with the original install disc containing 10.3.5 and the OS install worked fine,..."
Did you reformat the HD with this installation?

Strange icon in Hierarchy palette

Hi all
I got a form to make some changes in and I came across that strange icon (image atteched) I wondered what it means.
It's the form named 'matirial_data' - looks like a regular form with lines in it.
It doesn't seem to behave differently so it doesn't realy bother me, I'm just curious,
Thanks
shai.

found the answer:
This icon shows that the form's content is flowed and it shows the flow direction (western text/top to bottom).
In example:
the form 'Signature' content is 'positione',
the form 'commentsForm' is 'flowed' - 'western text'
the form 'dataform is 'flowed' - 'top to bottom'
Thanks to all
Shai.

When I take my phone off charge in the morning I get an info box on the front which has the sound trumpet icon with a line through it and the word Mute. The only way to get rid of it is to reboot the phone any ideas as to how I can stop this happening?

Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
This happens the same whenever I try to install.
To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
My plugin is still showing as out of date.
Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time.

Strange icon during shutdown...

Does anyone else have a strange icon flash on the display for a fraction of a second during shutdown? I running 10.5.1 on my 15" MBP 2.16 Core Duo and have noticed a real weird icon that only shows up occasionally during shutdown. It usually blinks on and off too fast to really see what it is, but I think it is sort of like the symbol on the command key and has a red X across it. I don't have any issues with the MBP with the exception of some files that Disk Utility is having trouble with when I repair permissions which seems to take a long time. It gets to a point where it says time remaining is less than a minute, but keeps going and going for another 3-5 minutes after displaying this:
Repairing permissions for “Macintosh HD”

Permissions repair complete
Anyone seen this before or have any thoughts?

Thanks for the tip.
I did as you suggested and the permissions issue is fully resolved. Never had an issue using the Software Update pane, but I'll file the in my overloaded brain for another time.
I haven't seen the strange icon during shutdown again, but I did identify it as the icon for a piece of software called KeyCue. It shows keyboard shortcuts for the active application by holding down the Command key for about 2 seconds.
Thanks again!

Strange icon behavior

Since purchasing an iMac with Snow Leopard pre-installed, I've experienced a series of strange ‘icon bugs’, and the problem has persisted through to the latest 10.6.4 update.
Bug #1: Occasionally icons on the desktop will become pixelated and blocky, resembling MacOS 9 sized icons that have been over-magnified. If I restart the Mac or log out and back in again the problem will go away, at least until the next random occurrence. The problem seems to particularly affect icons for inserted CDs and DVDs, but I’ve also seen it occur with application and file icons.
Bug #2: Sometimes icons will disappear completely by becoming transparent. This has affected all kinds of file types, but particularly files that have been freshly downloaded to the desktop from Safari. I can resolve the problem by dragging the affected file into a freshly created folder and then back onto the desktop, at which point the icon reappears.
Bug #3: About 50% of the time I insert a USB thumb drive or mount a DMG disk image, the icon displayed on the desktop will be for a hard drive (i.e. the one used for the internal hard drive) and not the white icon normally used for mounted images.
These bugs only occur on the desktop. They never occur in other folders or in list view. I cannot isolate the cause to any particular task or process. Sometimes they happen immediately after a re-boot.

Create a new User go to System Preferences > Accounts > "+" (make it an admin acct) and test the apps in this new account, if they work the problem is isolated to your User and not systemwide.
If the issue is limited to your user account try going to Users/yourname/Library/Preferences and move com.apple.desktop.plist and com.apple.desktopservices.plist to the trash. Restart and test. You may have to reset some Desktop settings.
If that didn't work, start up in Safe Mode (It will take more time to startup in Safe Mode because it runs a directory check.)
If your Desktop icons function correctly that way, go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items, and remove them. Boot normally and test. If not go to/Users/yourname/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, try moving/Users/yourname/Library/Fonts to your desktop and restarting.
Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.
If the issue is systemwide then, you may be able to repair this with the The 10.6.4 Combo Update This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.

How to add the wifi app (or icon) in notifications

On my Iphone 3gs, under settings>notifications, there is a list of icons taken from my home page from which I am to receive notification alerts. They were added there automatically I guess because I did not list them. I am wanting to add the wifi icon under notifications so I can be alerted when I have entered a wifi area. I do not find my wifi icon anywhere. Where do I find it and how do I list it under notifications. I searched and found an instruction to check "customize" under notifications but I am not given that option.
Thank you for your help.
Frances

The iPhone will automatically alert you when it detects wifi if you have Settings>Wi-Fi>Ask to Join Networks turned to ON.

Strange icon in system prefernces

It's weird, but within system preferences, i have a strange icon which seems to be corrupt. the icon is the startup disc icon. it seems to have enlarged and the words "start up disc" have disappeared, because the icon has enlarged. I wondered if there is a way to reinstall the system prefs application or if there is a folder where i can replace the icon. I wanted to attach a pic to this topic but can't. but if anyone wants to help i can email the pic which a have screen captured.
Please help. It doesn't seem to effect my OS but it is a glitch and would love to sort it.
Regards, Leigh

Hi Leigh!
Get Pacifist...

then extract what you need from your Install Disk.
But 1st do these...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, 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. (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. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

Then boot from the HD, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot.

What does a gray icon with grid lines mean? It looks like a bullseye.

Strange icon appears in the menu bar randomly

I'm using a late '13 macbook pro retina and recently I've noticed that a strange icon will popup in the menu bar somewhat randomly, though it seems to appear most when I access certain websites (ebay is the one I've noticed it happen the most).
The icon is between the power level and the date and time and appears in the spot where the keyboard language icon usually is. When I try to click the icon nothing happens and it just opens the language drop down menu. It disapears after a few seconds but when it appears a strange black flicker will appear at the top of my screen just below the menu bar.
Thanks

In ->System Preferences->Keyboard, Uncheck:

Powerbook won't get past strange icon upon start-up

Hi,
I have a Powerbook G4 that will not go past this strange icon when I try to start it up. I get the traditional Mac start-up sound, then it takes a long time to do anything, then I get a small icon that is in the shape of a folder. It has the Mac face (it is still "happy") and it will pop a question mark up over the folder.
Last night, it was making a strange noise, so I ran the Disk Utility and it said the hard drive appeared to be OK. This morning, it will not go past the icon. Is it saveable? It is pretty old (6 years).

Your hard drive is dieing or possibly dead! Unplug all peripherals, let the machine cool down and persist in starting up. It 'may' boot so you can back up your data. Try booting from the OS disc and run the Utilities to see if it can repair the issue. There are a few third party apps that may help in recovering data from the disc, but there are no guarantees they will work and, of course, they are not free. Sorry, no joy or easy fix for this one.

Strange Icon (Sad Ipod) won't respond

My Ipod first froze when I chose a song last night. Now when I turn it on, the ipod shows the apple icon. After a few seconds of the apple icon and some "clicking" noises (as if the hard drive keeps on trying to restart), the strange icon (Sad Ipod) shows up. Whenever I try to restart, put into disk mode, and reset my ipod, the same strange icon shows up. I tried to restore my Ipod by plugging it in my laptop but "iPod updater" keeps on telling me that I need to plug my ipod in.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Your sad iPod icon and whirring/clicking sounds issue is most likely related to your iPod’s hard drive being out of place or corrupt in some way. You may want to get your iPod’s hard drive replaced, but before that, let’s try some things with your iPod.
Have you checked out these links about your issue?

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
