I have a black text box on my screen. How do I get rid of it?

I'm not quite sure what it is you're seeing, but if it's a Terminal window (click on the window and see if you see the "Terminal" menu at the very top left of the screen) you can close it just like any other application - go to the Terminal menu and click "Quit Terminal".
If that's not it, it's possible you're seeing a Voiceover border - go to System Preferences, Universal Access, click Voiceover and turn it off if it's on.

Try rebuilding the mailbox.
First select the offending mailbox. Then click on Mailbox in the menu bar, and select Rebuild. If the bubble goes away, it was a glitch. If it does not go away there is one unread message in that Mailbox.
To find that one:
In Mail, go to View / Sort by / Unread. That should bring the unread email to the top of the list.

History window opens by default when i open a new window or restart firefox. How can i get rid of that ? its annoying.

If the History sidebar is closed when you close Firefox and doesn't stay closed on the next start then that can be problem with the file localstore.rdf in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete localstore.rdf or rename the file to localstore.rdf.sav in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] to test if the file is corrupted. 
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf 
(caution: do not delete the localstore.rdf file in the Firefox program installation folder)
Note: 
Deleting the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/localstore.rdf localstore.rdf] will reset the customizations of the toolbars to the defaults. 
You can rename "localstore.rdf" to "localstore.rdf.sav" to test if that solves it. 
Then you can restore the customization by copying "localstore.rdf.sav" to "localstore.rdf" if it didn't work.

How can I get rid of that annoying white circle in that black square

Since Oct. 7 last I have a 5S. Before had a 4S. About 4S no complaints, so the 5S maybe faster, better cam and so on but what I really hate it that stupid white circle in a black square you can move around on your screen. However when you want to open, for instance <messages> and that white circle is very near, messages will not be opened but a uselless black sub scrn with favorites, Siri, Device, Home. How can I get rid of that or delete or move it, it will no longer be visible on my scrn.

Yes, you are right. I must have done it myself during the first days while exploring the many options after the initial set up was done. On the 4S, I still have, and also running under OS7, it was disabled that's why I thought it was default in the 5S; wrong thinking. Thanks a lot for your great help.

Hi MyAppleID99,
You may want to check to make sure the clip hasn't been moved back and forth between wide screen and standard aspect ratios; sometimes a combination of letterboxing and pillarboxing can lead to a black frame "windowbox" when playing the final video. You may find the following article helpful:

How can I get rid of that irritating contact/favorites across the top of the home screen?

How can I get rid of that irritating contact/favorites across the top of the home screen?

Actually, that's not on the Home screen, it is on the multitasking or App Switcher view so only shows up when you enter that mode (so I'm not to clear as to why it is so "irritating", but whatever).
Settings app > Mail,Contacts,Calendars > scroll down to CONTACTS section] > Show in App Switcher

Open the Script Editor or AppleScript Editor in one of the subfolders of Applications and run the following:
tell application "Finder" to quit
if (do shell script "defaults read com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles") is "1" then
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 0"
else
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1"
end if
delay 2
tell application "Finder" to run
If you change your mind later, run the script again.

The desktop image on my mac shows its file name. How do I get rid of that?

After I installed Earth 3D screen saver, the images shown as my desktop background are now showing a large tag with the filename, path included, of the image. How do I get rid of that tag?
Thank you!

I did remove the offensive screensaver which, by the way, came from non other than the App Store. It did not solve the issue and I stll have that jideous path showing on my desktop wallpaper image.
Judging from the pic in your original post, you have quite a few files on your desktop. Suggest that you limit the amt of files on your desktop or keep them in your Dock or put all inside of folders. I did notice a few Safari files. You can even hide your HD if you want.
To hide the HD: Finder>General>Show these items on the desktop. Uncheck Hard disc.
After doing the above, try the following: Trash the finder plist file which is located: Option>Finder>Go>Library>Preferences. Repair permissions and restart the computer. Please post back the results.
Can you post the website link of the desktop pics for others to check?

I want to switch stores from Japan to USA. I used to have an iTunes card, and there's 15 YEN left in my account, how can I get rid of that so I can start purchasing in the US store using my new credit card?

I can't seem to find an app that costs my available balance. iTunes said I need to spend it ALL before I can change stores. This means I cannot totally change stores.... Hopeless.

I transferred data from my external hard drive to my restored Mac Book Pro via migration assistant and now my external hard drive in time capsule has red minus signs. How do I get rid of that without getting rid of any of my data?

I used Migration Assistant to transfer my data from my external hard drive via Time Capsule to my restored Mac Book Pro. When I now go into Time Capsule I there are red minus signs in the corner of all the folders that are contained in my back up. How do I get rid of this and access my previous back-ups?

Select the drive and Finder > Get info and at the bottom "ignore permissions on this volume"
You can copy the files, but the ownership on the files still belongs to the other user account, once your done copying, then perform a #6 Reset Users Permissions and that will set all the ownership to that account.
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
Another method is to copy the entire folder, then change it's permissions.
