Strange Icons appearing at top of phone

How do I get rid of these icons that are appearing at the top of my phone?

Those are app update notification icons, indicating that an app has been updated. Swipe down on the icons to see the notifications for which apps have been updated, and the icons will go away.

- Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
- Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
- Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
- Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
- Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
- Test the issue after each step. If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

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:
And...

HT1430 Call forwarding option is off, but whenever I switch on my iphone, the icon appears on top of the screen. I have restarted, reset my iphone but I have still the same problem.

Check with your carrier tech support.

HELP: Strange icon appearing in upper right=hand corner of screen

Hi,
For the last few days I noticed that the last few times I shut my MacPro 2.66 (OSX 10.4.10) down a small icon appears were the in the task bar would be on the far upper right-hand corner of the screen.
Just before the screen shuts off a small white square with a yellow triangle inside... in the middle of which resides a red !
It is only there for 15 seconds or so and then the machine shuts down. There is no other verbose display... just that symbol.
What is it? Anyone seen this before?

Any ideas at all?

Strange icons appearing as computer starts up? Prolonged startup!!

Hi. I'm having trouble with my startup on my PowerBook G4 12-inch. However, I haven't noticed problems with any other apps or programs on my computer except for startup!
When I start it up, it plays the sounds at the start as always... And then this little image of a colour globe on a small grey puzzle piece, starts flashing for a while. Then it changes to an even smaller image of one of Mac OS's symbols, and changes between this and a question mark in a box.
What's going on?? I don't get it!
Each time I start it up, this process of strange images and stuff goes for longer, before the progress bar comes up and it loads my accounts login page.
can anyone help?? Please do!!
Cheers,
koko_87

Wow. I've never seen THAT before! A puzzle piece icon? Seems that your Mac is confused as to which startup system to boot from. You don't have multiple versions installed on your PowerBook, do you? (This is possible if you have partitioned your hard drive and have Mac OS X--a different version from your primary boot volume--installed on it).
For starters, let's let Apple help you out first:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58042
Then, if that doesn't work, I'll try to find more. (As I mentioned, I don't recall seeing a puzzle piece icon with a globe whenever I've had the rare occasion of a startup problem on my Mac. If this was Windows... which I don't use...).

I have turned off the power for card in menu on the top of the screen and now no icon appears on top of screen after onserting card and card does not work. With other same powerbook it works well. How I do turn it on back thanks

Try this method.
Navigate to the Menu Extras folder inside CoreServices:
Macintosh HD > System > Library > CoreServices > Menu Extras
You should see an item PCCard.menu - double click on it and the icon should be in the menu bar.

Plug your phone into the wall charger for at least 30 minutes...make sure you have a sim card in the phone...then:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
Make sure you have no anti-virus software running or any firewalls...turn all of that stuff off.

I have bought my iphone 5 from UK and now residing in USA. Although my carrier (Ultra Mobile) provides 4G service i only get 3G speed. Also icon "3G" appears on top part of my screen. My model is MD297B/A. Pls suggest to enable 4G on my phone

It is more than likely the inability of the UK phone to support the US phone bands. You will probably be stuck with 3G and will never be able to get LTE. Also, your warranty is only good in the UK. You might be better of to try and sell that device to someone in the UK and purchase a phone in the US that you can get full service with.

have a problem with my MacBook Pro.5,3 and monitor. Intermittently, the desk top screen becomes broken up into vertical sections, which appear in the wrong order, creating a haphazard picture.
The Apple icon, usually at top left corner, appears in top right corner in a strip including all that left hand. When the computer is restarted, the screen goes back to normal. But I have to move the mouse to the far left of the screen and then up until it reappears on the far right hand side of the screen so that I can hit shut down button.
It seems to happen randomly though always on desk top and sometimes when I move mouse and computer switches on from rest mode. My large flat screen is relatively new.
The video card on this computer, which is approximately two years old, is Nvidia FeForce 9400M.
Any help would be welcome as my usual source of assistance is not available and I am not well versed in workings of the Mac although I have used one for many years.

That sounds like a Hardware problem.
You may be able to confirm that with Apple Hardware Test, or make an appointmenst for a free Genius Bar evaluation.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404 AirPlay Mirroring is compatible with Mid 2011 and newer MacBooks Air, and OS X Mountain Lion.
As you have Mac OS X Snow Leopard, you haven't got a compatible MacBook Air, so you can't use AirPlay Mirroring. However, you can use a third-party app as AirParrot to mirror the MacBook onto your Apple TV > http://www.airparrot.com

I have a macbook pro and use MS Office 2011. In Outlook 2011, i have noticed a strange phenomenon. In some messages, although the attachment icon appears indicating presence of attachments, i am unable to actually see or access the attachments.

vivebk67,
FYI, I have the same issue. I converted from MS Office 2010 to Mac Office 2011 by importing .pst files several months ago and I have noticed that many emails, which I originally received in MS 2010 but coverted to Mac 2011, show the paperclip as if there is an attachment. But when I open the email, the attachment is not there.
At this point I cannot find any pattern as to why some converted emails retained their attachment and other emails appear to have retained their attachment but the attachment is not visible.
I can confirm that there actually is an attachment by opening up MS Office 2010, but that is a huge pain becasue I have to open Parallels to do that. I have no issues with any attachments received in Mac Office 2011.
I spent an hour opening up a ticket with MS, sent them .pst files with examples and the guy was able to confirm that he could open the attachment in MS, but not Mac. BUT, of course, I was told that I would not be apprised of any ticket updates and that the only way I would know if the issues was fixed was when I was finally able to view attachments that I was not able to view previously.
Running MacBook Pro OS X 10.7.1
