The little red dot with a bar on the weekly calender

Stupid question...In iCAl I have a little red dot with a bar attached to is that goes across the entire week. It is next to the timeline at about 2:00. It only shows up on the week calender. What is this bar? What does it do? Can one make it go away? It's killing me. I can't find a setting for it, an explanation, a right click...nothing. It's just buggin' me. Anyone???

NCesau,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
The red dot with the bar is supposed to represent the current "Time of Day." It will/should be displayed in the Day, and Week views. It appears as if your TOD is stagnant, i.e. not working, if is stationary at the 2:00 time, and only visible in the Day view.
There is no user preference to change the normal behavior.
Since your iCal appears not to be working as advertised, you may be able to regain normal function by refreshing the iCal plist file. You will find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Quit iCal, drag the .plist file to your Desktop, log out/in or restart and check iCal for normal behavior.

  • How do I change my notifications so that the little red dot appears when I get a new Facebook/Twitter/Four Square update?

    When i get a new facebook message or tweet the little red dot does not appear on my phone. Does anyone know what I need to do?

    Try Settings>Notifications>Twitter>Badge Icon>ON. Do the same for Facebook and any others. See if that helps.

    Yes, I could connect them by ethernet if all I wanted to do was transfer files, but I would like to network them so I could use wireless internet.  The machines are not always so close together, I did that to simplify the testing.  With the very slow transfer speeds I am reluctant to move ahead with the internet step.

  • What is the little red square with a E inside mean

    When I look at music to buy I notice a little Red Box with a E inside it, what does this mean please ( red box with a E inside ) , Thankyou

    I'm glad someone else asked this question. They should really find a new way to mark something as explicit because I was not sure if it meant explicit or edited. Yes, even thou I know some songs/albums have the word edited in the description.

  • My App Store icon keeps displaying the little red circle with the number 4 and when it is opened to the updates tab there are no app to update. The page displays "All Apps Are Up to Date". This just recently started an occurs on both my iPad2 and iPhone5

    Why is this happening?

    I've seen reports of this happening when updates have been issued for apps that make them only work on iOS 7, users of earlier versions of iOS get notified that there are updates pending but when you actually go into the app store updates function it realises they don't apply to you because you are on an earlier version of iOS than what the new versions  require.
    In fact I just had a very similar experience on my iPod touch with iOS 6, in App Store app it flagged 7 app updates in red badge but when I clicked on the Updates button it only listed two  apps to update, once they'd been applied the outstanding updates badge disappeared.

  • What are the little red squares on the lower left hand corner of a movieclip in the actions panel?

    What do the little red squares on the lower left hand corner of the movieclips in the actions panel mean?  [Fig. 1]
    I'm working off this template in Flash CS3, that's using ActionScript 2.0 actually.
    I don't know whether or not that means anything in regards to the above inquire?
    Again, any help is appreciated.
    Fig.1

    OK, I think I might have figured this out.
    First. You guys keep insisting it's the Movie Explorer. It is not. It is the Actions Panel. You can see for yourself. Option+F9 opens the Actions Panel. Option+F3 opens the 'Explorer Window'. They are similar in appearance but they're not the same thing. They're just not.
    Second. I believe that the red dots on the movieclips, and also buttons, indicates when there is actionscript directly on the movieclip and/or button, as oppose to actionscript written on a frame within a movie clip and/or button.
    You really have to pay special attention to the top of the Actions Panel right next to where it says 'Actions' there's a dash '–' and then it says either 'Frame', 'Movie Clip', or 'Button'. This indicates exactly where you're about to write script to, or where you're reading the script from, so it's important to pay attention to this.
    That left side pane, in the Actions Panel, is divided by 'Scene' and by 'Symbol Definition(s)' and it's confusing because it's possible to have a symbol appear more than once depening on where the actionscript is located (i.e. on a frame or on the movie clip or button itself).
    For example if you have script on a FRAME within movie clip A, it'll appear in the SYMBOL DEFINITION(S) pane, without a red box, but if you were to write script on movie clip A itself, it would still not have the red box on it in the SYMBOL DEFINITION(S) pane, BUT it would appear again as movie clip A in the SCENE pane, and this time it would appear with the red box next to it, casue it now has actionscript directly on the movie clip itself. Wow, how confusing is that ha. 
    Keep in mind that if you made a movie clip B, within movie clip A, and if you placed actionscripts directly on movie clip B, NOT on a frame, then movie clip B would get a red box and appear UNDER movie clip A, within the SYMBOL DEFINITION(S) pane, NOT the SCENE pane. Ha.
    If you wrote script on a FRAME within movie clip B it would appear in the SYMBOL DEFINITION(S) again, yes a second time, twice, but WITHOUT a red box. Confused yet? ha.
    I don't know why Flash decided to do it this way. But it starts to make sense when you're actually viewing it, when it's in front of you. I think this is just for actionscript 2.0 (and for actionscript 1.0 presumably), but I don't think this is the case for ActionScript 3.0, because in as3 it's all instance name based, and targeting based, so there's no such thing as writing script directly onto a symbol of any kind, button, movie clip or otherwise.
    But yeah, that's it in a nutshell.
    Thanks for trying to help anyway.

  • Why do my saved / exported photos out of Lightroom have a little red dot on them?

    My edited photos in Lightroom look great.  But once I export them and take a look with another program (Photo Mechanic or Previewer), I see a little red dot on the photos.
    I have the latest version of Lightroom downloaded (5.7) and have tried restarting the program and re-exporting the photos but no dice.
    After further investigation via Google, I think this red dot is a "hot pixel" as it is showing up in every photo in the same spot.  Apparently this is caused by my camera sensor but I'm confused by this as my RAW files do not show the red dot, only when the photos have been converted to JPGs can you see it.  Stumped.

    Please show us a screen capture.

  • There is a little red circle with a 2 in it over my iWeb icon

    Hi There,
    I have a rather strange problem and I am a bit embarrassed by it, because I don't know what it means. Anyway when I open iWeb 09, there is a little red circle with a little number 2 in it appears over the iWeb launch-bar icon.
    See this screenshot for a more detailed explanation: https://files.me.com/jasongtelford/otc2kg
    Can someone please tell me what this means because I have looked every where and I cant find out. I am beginning to think that there might be something wrong with my iWeb
    Also can you please tell me how to find whatever thing it is that it represents

    Thanks so much for telling me. I have now figured it out thanks to you LOL it was to do with the comments on my blog

  • Little red dots appear in SWF

    Hello, I'm wondering if anyone has had experience with this
    or has any suggestions. I have a timeline animation with very
    little coding in it. When I publish it, little red dots appear here
    and there over areas that are just a black background (at least
    that's where I can see them in the SWF). They appear consistently
    in the same locations and patterns, but there's nothing in FLA that
    should be causing this. I'm using CS3, and publishing to Flash
    player 8, as2. Any suggestions? Thank you!

    Thank you for your answer, because I never would have
    suspected it was the movement causing it, since usually there's no
    problem. It was an animated text object which had animation for
    position, scale and alpha. There are gradients in other objects on
    the stage, so maybe that's not helping either. It's strange,
    because I animate things all the time without artifacts. I tried
    settings all the parameters to integers, but it's still doing it,
    so I'll just change the animation for this sequence to something
    that doesn't do that. Thanks, again! :)

  • What is the little red light?

    What is the little red light next to the ear speaker on the iPhone 5? It's very hard to see unless in a very dark room and it goes off when I lock my phone.

    I saw a forum saying that was what it was. I felt that if that was so that it would stay on even when my phone is locked? Also there are multiple reports of people knowing for sure that there is no water contact with their phone and they still see the light.
