Weird black box that shows what i am on but won't go away.

i have no idea why it popped up but it is annoying cause there is a black outline that surronds something and if i dont notice it and try to scroll down on the page it will pop me back up to were i was. Help!

Probably VoiceOver. Go to System Preferences - Universal Access - and turn off VoiceOver.

  • Need To Create Box That Shows Previous Month Label And Amount Of Sales

    I am using CR2008
    I am creating a report for our salesmen and one of the fields in the report will be a text box that shows what the last month was. For instance, if the report is run this month, the report will plug July 2011 into the box because that was what last month was. Tied to this will be a salesman's total sales for last month that should show up in a box. I will place this box right next to the salesman's name on the report as the names will be static.
    I have several of these to do and if I can see the method I can re-create it for the others.
    How would I do this?

    Hi
    You can create a formula to get last month and this formula can be placed in a text box.
    dateadd('m',-1,currentdate)
    or
    Month(currentdate)-1&" ,"&Year(currentdate)
    This formula can be placed for all your salesmans
    Thanks,
    Sastry

  • My iPhone 4s is stuck on a black screen that shows a USB cable connecting to iTunes. The phone will not turn on and the iTunes logo as I described only shows up when I plug the phone into the charger or my computer. I have tried the reset in restore mode

    My iPhone 4s is stuck on a black screen that shows a USB cable connecting to iTunes. The phone will not turn on and the iTunes logo as I described only shows up when I plug the phone into the charger or my computer. I have tried the reset in restore mode as well as the DFU? mode and it still will not work. I have the latest version of iTunes on my Mac. My error code was 2002. I also tried it on my laptop (windows 8.1) and none of the above worked. My error code on my laptop was 02. The phone is through Verizon and it has absolutely no damage. It was working fine up until this and I have been trying to fix it for 2 days. Please help! I am unsure of what version the phone was currently running on before this because I have another iphone that's my primary phone and have not used this one in about a month. I do not believe it was updated to IOS 7.

    Your iPhone is in recoverty mode at the moment so to possibly get it back up and running you would need to do a restore as you have been trying. Follow the steps in the article below for the specific error messages you have been receiving. If after following all steps the issue remains book an appointment at a local Apple Retail Store to have the iPhone evaluated.

  • How can I install Adobe flash player on my Mac using Safari OR Chrome? I have gone through every step on all of the help pages. The installation process always stops with the black box that briefly says, "Retrieving Install . . . ", then nothing.

    I have followed every step in the various help pages I was directed to when troubleshooting the inability to install Adobe Flash Player on my Mac using either Safari or Chrome. Everything has failed. I always get the black box that says briefly, "Retrieving instal. . . " and then goes blank. When I close that window, I get the message, "Adobe Flash Player could not be installed." Then it gives some links to follow for troubleshooting. I have followed ALL of the links there and on other help pages, to no avail. I've run into problems installing Adobe before, but it's never been this bad. Would someone please develop another format besides Adobe? Trying to get help from Adobe feels a little like trying to find a building in New York City with no map or GPS. The time required is voluminous, the emotional energy a/k/a frustration is overwhelming, and long before I get anything resolved, I wish the earth would open up and swallow all things Adobe@. Absence that miraculous intervention, I have to figure out what to do next. Does anyone know? Anyone?

    Same question, same answer: use the offline installer http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg

  • Weird Black Box/Cursor Issue

    Greetings,
    I fell asleep watching a movie last night and when I wkoe up I had this weird Black Box issue that I can't get rid of. Normally I can come up with search terms to find an answer to the problem but I'm not even sure how to describe this. There is a Black Box outline, generally where the cursor was last, and, in the lower left corner, a black text box with a white outline and white text. At the moment the Black Box is around the Close Button for Firefox and the Black Text Box says "close button". Sometimes it will give a "command-shift-whatever" needed to activate that button. WHen I shift to a finder window it will tell me I am Currently on a Browser etc. Ad Nauseum. As I shift around it will highlight (with the black outline) whereever I am and continute to give me useless advice!!! How do I get rid of this?!?!?!?!???
    Thanks for the time!!!
    Geezer

    BINGO!!! That solved the problem!!! Course there remains the mystery of *HOW* those button got pushed while I was sleeping.
    Thanks Dominic!!!
    Cheers,
    Geezer

  • LR5 when I use the crop tool or the brush tool the DONE box that shows up in the bottom corner is gone. How do I get it back?

    When I go into the crop tool (or any other tool) there is usually a DONE box that shows up on the bottom to exit the tool. Recently it disappeared. Now to close the crop I have to use the short cut key or click the tiny little "close" on the side. Is there a way to get the done button back? I updated with the latest software update and also reset all custom setting just incase I changed something accidentally. Any help would be appreciated.  

    Thank you so very much! I must have gone 2 months trying to figure that out… and finally I asked. Such a simple solution too.

    I have photoshop cc, and I am used to photoshop elements. In photoshop it wont allow me to just click on a layer, and have it select that layer . I have to click on the layer in the box that shows all my layers in order to select it. I also want it to not only select the layer on the actual project, but put a hashed line around it that allows me to resize it manually, without having to do it in another window. Does that make sense? I cant even get the layer to select. PLEAE HELP. Id also be able to just click on the layer and drag it. It wont let me, and I am confused.

    If you were serious to learn Photoshop, I'd advise you to take Photoshop classes at your nearest community college or some such institution, to take a subscription to lynda.com, to watch all the Photoshop videos at Adobe TV, to google for specific video tutorials on You Tube and for other tutorials in text format.
    Even the Help menu in Photoshop can be a great starting place.
    Don't expect to find in Photoshop the kind of hand-holding features that Elements has and that appeal to beginners and amateurs.

  • How do I remove the black box that appears over images in Aperture?

    I may have engaged a shortcut in Aperture but I would like to remove this function. How do I remove the black box that appears over images in Aperture? It gives you the image name, camera make and so on. It only appears when you use your mouse and let go of it over an image.

  • I have an external hard drive that shows up in disk utility but Verify and Restore are greyed out.

    I have an external hard drive that shows up in disk utility but Verify and Restore are greyed out. I am trying to determine what is wrong with the drive.
    I need the data on the drive and it won't show up in Disk Warrior. I have tried different Mac's and different USB cords only to find the same outcome. When selected in Disk Utility the information read as such...
    Disk Description : WD Elements 1023 Media                      Total Capacity : 500.11 GB (500,105,740,288 Bytes)
    Connection Bus : USB                                                               Write Status : Read/Write
    Connection Type : External                                                     S.M.A.R.T. Status : Not Supported
    USB Serial Number : 575837314135304D36373132        Partition Map Scheme : Unformatted
    As the drive shows in Disk Utility there must be some life left in it surely. There is a possibilty that the physical connection between the USB cord and the external drive is damaged but since the drive shows up I believe it's unlikely... before I give it to the pro's is there anything else I can do to diagnose the issue?

    Hello,
    I have just experienced the same thing!
    Although my external drive shows in Disk Utility, it does not show in Finder.
    And the Verify/Repair buttons are also greyed out.
    Also, although the drive is 2TB. DU shows it as having Total Capacity of only 4.14GB! (Which should be the Free Space).
    I was wondering if you solved your problem, & if so, would you share your solution.
    I´m afraid to Erase in case I lose all my Data on the drive.
    Thanks in advance for your reply!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

    Hi, I have a freecom 1TB hard drive which was working fine until it froze.  I pulled it out (mistake I now know) and now it doesn't mount.  It shows up in Disk Utility but won't manually mount.  When I try to repair it gives message 'failed on exit'. Some people have said to try Disk Warrior, but at $100 it's quite expensive maybe fix.  help!

    You likely need to reformat the drive which will destroy all data and you need a backup to restore it. If no backup is present then a data retrieval service can be more expensive than DiskWarrior. There is software that can rescue the data but I can not vouch for it's effectiveness as I have always maintained backups. .

  • New pages won't open on iPad; new pages shows installed on air book but won't open. Related?

    new pages program won't open iPad cloud documents without crashing--work around is to not open any documents in clouds, but it saves to clouds anyway; however, new pages program shows installed on air book but won't open new pages documents created on ipad without message "need to install a newer version of pages", which I have done. Are these two problems related?

    Double tap Home button and delete Pages from multitask-bar.
    Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)
    Note: You will not lose any data.
    Try again with Pages.
    If no joy, delete Pages and redownload again.
