Unknown Screen Icon like a crosshair

Can anybody tell me what the icon that looks like crosshairs with 3 quad right paranthesis is? It is located in the upper right hand portion of the screen under signal strenth.
Also, not only what is it, but how can I turn it off if I want to?
Thanks

Lock your screen
By locking the screen, you can help prevent your BlackBerry device from sending accidental messages or pocket dialing. Locking your device doesn't disable alerts for incoming calls or messages.
Press the Power/Lock key on the top of your device.

It is your email notification.

Flying Icon? Like a plane?
If so, the phone is in Airplane mode
Swipe up to get the control panel, tap the airplane

probably your zoom is on. try double tapping with three fingers on your screen, it should go back to normal and then goto
settings>general>accesibility>zoom and disable it

Move your cursor way over to the right side of the window. There should be a thin bar. when you hover over the left side of the thin bar, the cursor will change to a vertical bar with an arrow sticking out the left. Click and drag to the left.

Iphone 4s screen icons jumping around like you are touching the home button. Acts as if someone is opening apps. Any suggestions?

You didn't, but you are about the 4th person today who has done this. It just wastes my time, and yours, and gets frustrating after awhile.
I do believe you have a screen/logicboard issue and while you can try Restoring it from backup in iTunes, and then as a new iPhone if that doesn't work, I don't believe it will help.

Noob help with screen icons

I just got an 8830 and have fumbled through figuring out what most of the icons are. I read all the manuals and asked Sprint for help. They were stumped. I figured out the message icon and how to clear it but sometimes instead of a yellow envelope, it looks like a wireline drawing of an envelope. There are other icons that there is no way to figure out what they are.
For example, next to bluetooth icon, there is something that looks like a crosshair for a rifle scope, next to it, something that looks like speaker waves. Sprint was as clueless as I was.
Is there a sticky or something that could guide us noobs through the unknown icon jungle?

Click here, I think you have a text message: 8800 home screen indicators

That would be your GPS icon. When you have the ))) waves that means it's on. I turn it off when I don't need it.
It saves both battery and memory. Go to the options icon, click on it, advanced options, GPS.
To turn off and on toggle GPS service to 911 or location on location aiding to enabled, disabled.
Thanks,

Just want to ask about the full screen icon that used to be on the play bar but seems to have disappeared since upgrade to mountain lion, any way to get it back?

Since upgrading to mountain lion I've noticed the full screen icon which used to be on the playback bar in quicktime has gone, I know you can go to the menus to make it full screen but if you're watching something online like with apple trailers I can't seem to make them fullscreen anymore, is it me or have they just taken this option away now?

I've been playing the trailers in my browser and the full screen option has gone for me,
As already stated, the icon was replaced by the "Share" pop-up menu icon in the same location.
and the command-f keys don't work either when I'm playing in a browser and it's truly only been since I upgraded to mountain lion.
Strange! It works for me. Here is a link to a screen recording of me wayching a trailer in Safari and later watching a trailer download. In both cases the trailer could be expsnded for full screen viewing and then reduced back to the size of the original 720p player display screen. If you can't do this then you may have a player problem also.

Why did apple make these changes when they worked perfectly the old way, I mean if it ain't broke don't fix it!
Only Apple whould know for sure but my guess would be that other users may have requested the "Share" pop-up more. Makes no difference to me because I normally use the key shortcuts anyway.

Custom Welcome Screen Icon

Do you know whether it's possible to customize a screen icon for the iPod MINI? I would like my own icon to show up either (a) just at startup, after the apple icon, and/or (b) as a screensaver.
Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Stuart

StuDrex, Good morning And Welcome to Apple Discussions forum.
i " Do you know whether it's possible to customize a screen icon for the iPod MINI? "
b No, It is Not possible. The iPod Softare Does not allow You to change Any setting made for the Product (exepting Some iPod options that you can make Yourelf with your iPod).
Otherwise, You would have to find the Emplacement to Put your icon.. And Even after, You wouldn't know if You have the Good Art Type (format of the File).
Hope This helps.

Custom Home Screen Icons

I was wondering how difficult it was to create Home Screen icons for sites (like Apple and Yahoo! have).
I am a web designer and graphic artist but I'm not an "app developer." It seems it would just be a matter of creating a square graphic and somehow coding it to download when the "Add to Home Screen" is clicked.
Is this out of my league? Has anyone here made any?

In case anyone else is interested, you just need to create a 57x57 pixel graphic file, saved in PNG format, and named apple-touch-icon.png to place in the root directory of your web site. The iPhone will round the corners and add the glossy-looking overlay to the icon.
If you don't have access to the site's root directory, you can add a link to the file in the head of your HTML page... for example: *<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="http://www.mysite.com/apple-touch-icon.png" />*
Keep in mind, they look best when kept simple.

I have iphoto11 but do not have the full screen icon at the bottom left hand corner of the screen. where is it?

I am using iphoto11 in OS lion but do not have the full screen icon at the bottom left hand corner of the screen. where is it?

Shift - command - f is the short cut to go to full screen - esc will return from Full screen to normal
as far as to where the commands are - I am (and everyone her is) a user just like yourself - we can (sometimes) help with how to use iPhoto - we can not explain why Apple makes decisions nor can we make or affect any changes

Apple TV3 Not Showing The Main Screen Icons except Computer

I tried to do everything that i've read in here..
I tried to unplug the power cable for 30 seconds and replug it, same problem occurs.
The Main Screen icons don't appear such as Youtube, Radio, the internet, etc..
I get the computer and settings icon only...(See picture)
/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/186/18672415-1.jpg
The internet is working just fine.. The system is up to date,
I tried resetting, restarting the system.. nothing worked..
I bought 2 Apple TV 3's and they both have the same issue..
Also, when I bought it in the U.S, the sales person in NY-5th Avenue store showed me the languages available, and one of them was the Arabic language..
Now that I bought it, this language doesn't exist.. Is there a way to add more languages?
Thanks for your time.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately, a number of users appear to have encountered this problem. Some of these users have reported that the problem just disappears the following day or shortly after. Other users have found various other solutions to this problem.
Firstly, are you receiving any date and time errors when you turn on your Apple TV?
Check that you are properly connected to the Internet, by ensuring that you have a proper IP address and not one starting with 169. Also check that your location for the iTunes Store is set correctly, if so you might try changing it and then changing it back.
If the problem persists try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds, or resetting it using the reset option under general. You should also try restarting your router, or if this doesn't work you might like to try a restore.

My home screen icons get misaligned when i switch apps by double tapping the home button. Using iPad Air, My home screen icons get misaligned when i switch apps by double tapping the home button. Using iPad Air

My home screen icon get misligned when I switch between apps. also subway surfer behave strangley as in there is a graphical glitch

I have no idea what Subway Surfer should look like so I wouldn't know if there was a graphical glitch in your screenshot or not, but I assume that the brown figure on the left side should, have real definition in the features and details in the clothing rather than just look like a smeary brown blob. That's just a guess on my part.
I understand that you paid good money for the device and that it should not be doing what you are experiencing. I would start with the basic troubleshooting steps - moving all the way up to a complete restore of the iOS - and if they don't work, then you will have to contact Apple if you want resolution to the problem. They must have an authorized repair facility that you could send the device to if needed.
Restart, reset, restore.

HOME screen icon problems

On a web page everytime i click the + button to add it to home screen, it works but now all my icons for each one i bookmark are the same. They used to be snapshots of the webpage mostly or an official icon like google etc. Now its a set of weights for the icon which is annoying as now i ave about 7 with the same icon.
Any help would be appreciated

Here is the problem. If the web site does not have a custom made icon in the 'root' directory of their web server, the icon will look like the web page you are bookmarking.
If you want to add an iPhone/iPod touch Home screen icon for your website, create a 57x57 pixel .png image file, name it "apple-touch-icon.png" and upload it to the 'root' directory of your server.
Here is one I created for Macsimum News.
Here is what it looks like on the screen. The iPhone/iPod touch automatically scales the round corners on the image.

Screen looks like it is too big to fit ipad 1

Screen looks like it is too big to fit ipad 1. Can only see part of the perimeter, icons along edge are showing 20%. Running the latest software update, it has been sycned and rebooted. Whats next?

It's in the General>Accessibility page in settings. If on, you may have double-tapped with three fingers, as James suggests. If you don't want this feature, turn it off.
