Strange symbol appeared...

I switched my iTouch on this morning and found a new symbol in the status bar next to the battery symbol. It is a white rectangle with a plus sign followed by 2 circles 'cut out' of the rectangle. I have a photo but don't know how to upload it, if somebody can tell me I will upload one.
Thanks

Have you jailbroken and put apps on the iPod? If so, the icon you describe seems to be NES.app. It appears when you have it open and it goes into suspend mode.

    Strange symbols appear on my desktop, producing even stranger results!

    These symbols are for short cuts. could be a command to move text insertion point to beginning of document or if you have been in system preferences keyboard and clicked on the modifier key and set one of the options it would be for setting cap lock. Don't know why you are showing a screen  shot of it. Have you clicked on it. Have you been doing any work with documents. You could go to disk utilities and repair permissions or do an pram reset. Command/Option?P/R while holding down the power button for three chimes and release.

  • Strange "pie chart" symbol appearing - Mail must be force quitted

    Just yesterday randomly half way through the day, a strange 'pie chart' symbol appeared next to my Inbox, and though I can receive mail and send mail, Mail.app (after 1 min of being open) makes my CPU skyrocket to 100%. I cannot quit Mail, and the only way I can force quit is via Activity Monitor. The usual altcommandesc combo is not bringing up Force Quit. So 2 issues:
    1. What's up with Mail? I'm using POP via Gmail as my main server.
    2. How do you get force quit to show up?

    /Ditto
    Sometimes my mail will send, but the process will take anywhere between 5 and 15 minutes to do so. More often than not, though, it just disappears into a black hole. Plus, this just started happening two days ago. All was well before then.

  • Strange symbol when typing

    ݄I have noticed when ݄I am typing a message either in iMessage or email, when ݄I type the letter I, a strange symbol that looks like a question mark in a box appears in my message. ݄I can sometimes bypass this by clicking the x when the autocorrect box pops up, but it is very annoying. Has anyone else noticed this? How do ݄I stop it?

  • Strange symbol on E70

    There is a strange symbol on my E70. It's located right under the battery indicator on the upper right hand side of the screen. It looks like a short U with an arrow inside pointing upwards.
    I looked for this symbol on the manual, but it's just not there. Does anybody know what it is??

    If the icon you are talking about looks like the image on the link below, it is the icon that indicates that your phone has messages in it's outbox.
    http://www.sample.org.uk/blog/files/smssendicon.png
    It should appear for the few seconds that an SMS is being sent, but if something fails to send then that icon will stay there.
    The phone should however automatically retry when you get coverage/over time. Hope that helps Message Edited by dusample on 27-Jun-2006

    Sorry, possibly you need a new hard drive or try reformating. First
    you can try something like http://www.alsoft.com/diskwarrior/  it has been known to repair disk that DiskUtility could not. YMMV and they don't give it away.
    If Disk Warrior can not repair then you need to Reformate the drive. Make sure you have a back-up in place no matter what.

    I'm using a macbook pro, running snow leopard. Yesterday I got around to emptying my trash for the first time in quite awhile and was surprised by how much there seemed to be in there. Immediately after a question mark symbol appeared on all my hard disk folders. If I click on these question marks I get a message saying ' the item can't be found'.

    Not sure where these hard disk folders are located that you are referring to?  Finder, Finder tool bar, Finder side bar, Desktop, Dock? 
    More then likely they are  an alias that not longer point to the orginals,  thus the question mark.
    I would reboot.  Delete icons if an alias and just recreate by dragging from the source. Try right click (control) click to remove.

  • I can't delete a file in the trash that has strange symbols (␀ ␀獭潤) in its filename.

    There is a file in the Trash with a filename containing strange symbols, along with some Chinese characters. For some reason when I empty the Trash, all files are deleted as expected, expect this one particular file. The symbols are: ␀ ␀獭潤 — although some of the symbols I was unable to copy, which is probably why they are causing problems.
    How can I get rid of these files? Even in Terminal it says that the file does not exist.

    I'd like to point out that in my problem, the problematic file is actually on a USB drive, not on the Mac's internal drive. The USB is formatted FAT32.
    Anyway, I ended up reformatting the disk since it's an external drive so it wasn't much hassle. It's essentially like nuking the whole thing, which is a bit overkill, but I couldn't figure out how to fix this since the two apps recommended by the link you provided (Trash It and Cocktail) both failed to delete the file.

  • How do I delete photos and photo albums from my iPhone? The instructions given do not work. No "delete" symbol appears next to the album name, and no trash can icon appears below most of the pictures the computer just put on my new iPhone 4.

    How do I delete photos and photo albums from my iPhone 4? The instructions given do not work. No "delete" symbol appears next to the album name when I press "Edit," and no trash can icon for me to click appears below most of the individual photos in the albums the computer just loaded on my new iPhone 4. When I synced the new phone the computer added these photo albums without permission from me. They are now taking up about 3 GB of memory on my phone. I would like very much to get rid of these photos from the phone. How do I do this?

    To delete photos from your device
    In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
    Choose "Sync photos from."
    On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
    On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
    Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    Click Apply.

  • Firefox 4 Beta has problem when printing shipping pages from Amazon Marketplace, it shows and prints strange symbols instead of the packing slip and the label. Do you have any idea why is that?

    Well, I installed it 2 days ago and yesterday when I tried to print a packing slip and a label for Amazon customers it printed so many strange symbols that were nothing like what they are supposed to be, not even close. When I printed it with another browser it was all fine, so it is obviously a problem of the new version of my favorite browser. Probably something with the encoding, but since I'm not a computer geek, I cannot give more info. :(

    '''If you go the the menu and click "Print Preview" then it will show normally, and will print correctly from there. You must do it this way the first time you try to print though, if you try to print (using the print command) and it is messed up, then it shows it messed up in the preview. It's not a cure, but works for now until this bug is fixed.'''

  • My iPod says the battery is low, the apple symbol appears and then cycles back to low battery message?

    My older iPod classic says when I dock it either with charger or hooked up to computer that the battery is low, the apple symbol appears, you can hear a whirring sound (hard drive coming on) then a clicking sound and then back to low battery message.  Has been doing this for the last week.

    Hey there Kevin,
    It sounds like your iPod Classic is exhibiting some unexpected behaviour when you have it connected to your computer with the usb cable. I suggest the troubleshooting steps in the following article to help troubleshoot the device:
    iPod classic Troubleshooting Assistant
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
    Start by resetting the iPod, then retesting the issue.
    Reset
    To reset your iPod:
    1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    2. Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
    Tip:
    If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.
    If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • Bug in Keychain. All characters are replaced by strange symbols...

    Hello,
    For 2 weeks, I have a problem with the Mac OS Keychain.
    All characters are replaced by strange symbols...
    To see the bug : http://nsa20.casimages.com/img/2010/12/03/101203090829665703.png
    (my system is in french)
    Do you know how to solve this problem, please ?
    Thanks...

    Not a keychain bug, but a font issue. Restart and boot into safe mode as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564?viewlocale=en_US (you might need the French version), then do a normal boot. Once that's finished, launch Font Book, select all fonts, validate them and resolve duplicates, and restart. That should fix all your font issue.

  • Hi, when powering up my macbook pro, when the apple symbol appears the screen flashes pink, can anyone advise whats up?

    Hi, when powering up my macbook pro, when the apple symbol appears the screen flashes pink, can anyone advise whats up?

    You can try a system reinstall:
    Reinstalling Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

    It's just the hotkey feature that means your capslock is on. Just press the capslock key to turn it off and it will go away.
