There is a red shield icon in the corner of my screen....

This red shield is telling me that my system is infected and that I need to register with a credit card to get it cleaned up. I didn't obviously and its constantly telling me a different virus supposedly in my system. Can anyone help me and tell me what to do?

It is Malware...a Trojan...a scam.....read through the info in this link....

How do I download tv shows on iPod? Ios7. They are there. A little cloud icon in the bottom right corner. But unlike an iPad, there is no option (cloud with a downward facing arrow) to download.

If they have 'open' next to them then that implies that they are already on your iPad - if you tap on the 'open' button does that open the app ? If it does then they are on your iPad. You've checked all your homescreens and tried a soft-reset to see if they show 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.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

After uploading to the cloud, i lost access to some of my songs. The library still shows the information and there is a cloud download icon but the font color would seem to indicate it has been deactivated (i.e. nothing happens when I click on it).

Problem closed (although not resolved). After working with Apple support, no resolution was found. I asked for a refund of the iTunes match purchase price, which was granted. Interestingly the support tech, who was very nice if not particularly helpful from a technical point of view, spun the "resolution" of refunding my iTunes match purchase price as a positive one, here is a quote from the final email
"I'm glad to hear that you're not having issues with the songs you've purchased. Nothing makes Apple happier than to hear that our customers concerns have been rectified."
It is notable that I never had an issue downloading music directly purchased thru the iTunes store, the only issue that existed was downloading songs that I ripped from my CD collection and "matched".
I'm happy that I received my money back, however I wish that the iTunes Match service worked for me (I was looking forward to this service). I'm most upset at the time I wasted trying to fix this problem.
I'll now download music the old fashioned way: syncing with iTunes directly.

Red offline icon in upper corner of pictures in elements organizer. How do I upload so this does not happen?

When I upload my pictures in organizer there is a red offline icon that appears when I remove my card and the pictures are blurry. How do I upload so this does not happen?

From your description, you are uploading from a card reader?
The normal option is to use 'Import from camera or card reader'. That should automatically copy your picture files to your computer.
The other option is to use 'Import from files/folders'.
It is normally used when your pictures are already on your computer.
But your Explorer can see your card reader as just another disk. Then you have the choice to tick the checkbox to copy the files to the computer at import time, or another checkbox to create a thumbnail. It looks like that was what you did.
In that case the thumbnail (the preview) is a very small image which becomes 'blurry' if you want to enlarge it.
For those who want to keep their files on external removeable media (dvds...) but want a suitable thumbnail to show, you can change the size of the preview in the preference menu.

I have the sound effects icon in the middle of my screen, how do I remove it?

I have the sound effects icon in the middle of my screen and I want it to go away! How do I get rid of it?

Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and see if that fixes it.

When I open Firefox, the background of the icon on the bottom of my screen turns green on the left side.

There is a grey blob growing on the corner of my ipod inside the screen. how do i fix it? help

There is a grey blob growing on the corner of my ipod inside the screen. how do i fix it? help I have already replaced the screen once but it has stayed the same.

Can you post a photo?
Form yo description it seems like a problem with the display/screen
What model iPod do you have?
I ask because in the earlier one the top screen/digitizer is separate from the LCD display.
Just what was replaced?

The corner of my screen is creased. It didn't affected the images, but is creased. Do I have to change all the screen? Is it too much expensive?

The corner of my screen is creased is not a big thing and it didn't affected the images, but is creased.
Do I have to change all the screen even if it doesn't affect the images on the mac?
Is it too much expensive?
Thank you!
Paulo

Talk to the Genius Bar, get a free estimate.
The worst you lose is a couple of hours of time.

Think the app will ever show the red number icon in the upper right corner? Be nice to quickly see if a new podcast is available.

Think this new app will ever show the red (new) number icon in the upper right corner? Be nice to know when a new version of a podcast is available...

Agreed. I do not want to keep opening the app to see if there is new episodes to listen to.

Why are there 2 thin red vertical lines on the screen of my MBP 15" retina which is only 2 months old!

I would just like to understand why there a two thin red vertical lines on the screen
I suspect I need to bring into an apple store for diagnostics but is anyone aware of the likely cause?
thanks v much!

It could be a GPU issue, a display issue or a display connection issue. The genius bar technician will offer you a definitive answer and should fix it under the warranty provisions.
Ciao.

Internal speakers suddenly will not unmute. My headphones work, and there is a red light coming from the headphone jack

I put my volume on mute a few weeks ago, and I don't know if I have used it again since then or not, but now the volume will not unmute. There is a red light glowing out of the headphone jack. Sound through headphones works. I've tried updating and restarting my computer. Help?

No, not forceful - gentle.
A PRAM-reset might also help:
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Immediately press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.Continue holding the keys down until the computer restarts, and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Try this a few times.

My iPad fell off the bed. Now when I turn it on there is a red backlight and then the images come on, but they are not like before. The picture colors are distorted. Can this problem be rectified?

Having problems with my iPad after it fell of the bed. When I turn it on there is a red backlight, then the screen comes on. Even then the page does not look right. Images are distorted and there are patches of red in the images. What does this mean? Can the problem be rectified?

I would take it to the Apple store but some people have been having luck holding their iPad upside down and smacking it on it's back. Be careful, good luck.

I have iPhoto 09 The cover of my book is cropped is perfect on screen but when I print it out it's cropped badly. There is a red exclamation point on the screen image but I have created 5 books and never had this problem. HELP

I am using iPhoto 9 to make a book. The cover of my new book looks perfect on screen, but when print it out before I have it published the cropping is all off. There is also a red exclamation point on the cover image. I have checked and rechecked but to no avail. Can you help? Bill Perlmutter

That red exclamation point can mean either that the image on the cover is below the resolution limit that Apple has set for photos to make good prints or that there is missing text in a text box or there's some text that has overflowed the text box.
The resolution limit that is set in iPhoto for photos is 110 dpi, i.e. the PrintWarningImageDPI value in this screenshot of iPhoto's preference file:
Click to view full size
It's not an absolute thing. Many have reported getting books that had photos with the low resolution warning indicator and it was perfectly satisfactory.
But check to see if it's an image or text warning.
