Weird box that wont go away

I have mac os x Tiger, and one day when i booted up my iBook G4 a black box outline showed up. This box seems to change to whatever link i clicked last and will show up over it. I believe it's something with the system, because it shows up in all of my programs.
What is this box? please help. It's bugging me to no end.
Power Mac G5 2.0    

Esteban,
I suspect that VoiceOver has been activated.
Go to System Preferences...>Universal Access>Seeing>VoiceOver: (Click) Off
;~)

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

  • IPod has songs that wont go away!!

    Hello there, my white ipod touch 4g 32gb has several songs that wont go away, even when synced with a different playlist.
    also the iPod had greyed out songs in its library and duplicated songs.
    PLEASE HELP!

    If you relaunch the finder the phantom iPod folder should disappear.
    You can do this by holding down the option key and right-clicking the finder icon in the dock, or by ctrl-option left-clicking the finder icon in the dock, and selecting "Relaunch" from the pop-up menu.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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.

  • The red X that wont go away!!!

    i cant restart my ipod classic. i went to the support page and clicked on the red X link and i am unable to put my ipod into disk mode. i restart it and i get the apple screen then i try pressing the play/pause and the select button and after a moment it shows the red x again. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    you could try, if it isnt too much trouble, to go to the ipod updator and reset your ipod. then, if you have all your music backed up, then it wont be a problem putting the songs back on and make sure you have it set, right from the start, at manual update so that it doesnt happen again. that should solve the problem.

  • Blackberry Curve - not a smartphone - error messages that wont go away

    Hello!
    I cant use my Backberry Curve as the foillowing message keeps appearing and wont shift when i press OK:
    'The application FourSquare has attempted to open a connection to a location inside the firewall and outside the firewall which is not allowed by your IT policy'.
    Weird as I have never used Foursqaure in my life.  The phones effectively unusable, does anyone have any ideas how I can get rid of the message please.  I've tried taking out the battery and SIM.  Thanks

    I saw this:
    http://jakemeyers.com/wordpress/?p=471
    or you can try to remove foursquare in safe mode:
    Battery pull, insert battery and when the red light goes off, hold down the back key through the entire boot process.  It will give you a message about safe mode.    
    remove foursquare and do another battery pull.

  • Slide show that wont go away

    I have a Muse slide show that will not go away.  I deleted it and uploaded the new files and it still shows up on the server.  I deleted the entire server and it still shows up. Ive quit Muse, reinstalled it and even did the 2014 update and the slide show still shows up even though it is not on the Muse design page.  Any ideas?

    Hi William,
    One more thing that you can try is publish to a new trial site on business catalyst and see how that goes.

    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks Pat.  I saw that told to others a year and more ago.  I guess it still applies.
    However, I was not aware that I had installed the debugger.  I will check.
    Thanks again.

  • A font that wont go away...

    About a month ago when i first got my MBP i noticed that on a couple web pages it would load this font named "Brady Bunch", i thought nothing of if until other web pages had the same effect, but i just updated to leopard, and now my widgets are using the same font. I went into font book and deleted it off of my computer but then my weather channel widget that read 59 degrees, now reads 5 degrees. I reinstalled the font and nothing happened its still at 5 degrees i tried everything and searched couldn't find anything. I disabled the font in font book, made sure that safari and firefox both had times new roman as the default, i just don't know, i want to get a regular font, or at least any other one than that. Anyone know how? Thanks =]

    Sorry for the double topic post.

  • Strange trash that wont go away...

    I've tried several things but dont understand why I keep getting this trash showing up. Even if all I do is restart the computer, I still shows up again.
    I've repaired permissions, repaired the disk drive... still shows up.
    the file is labeled ␀␀␀õ␀␀.␀␀
    If you try to get info about, it disappears from the trash. If you attempt to drag it to the desktop, it disappears as well. If you try to empty the trash, it wont budge. If you try to empty the trash while holding the alt key down... doesn't budge.
    Can anyone enlighten me on how to get rid of this little pest and/or why it shows up on every boot?

  • I have a box that will not go away, it says,  "To open JavaApplication, you need to install a Java SE 6 runtime.  Would you like to check for and install one?  If i push not now, it keeps popping up, if I push install, it says it's not available, help.

    I have a dialogue box that will not go away and it seems to have started when I upgraded to Mt. Lion.  the box says, "To open JavaApplication, you need to install a Java 6 SE runtime.  Would you like to check for and install one?  (smaller print)  Note: Usw of this software is subject to the Software License Agreement applicable to the software you are downloading.  A list of Apple SLAs may be found here: htp://www.apple.com/legal/sla/
    Finally there are two boxes to click.  One says not now.  If I click on that the box goes away for 2 to 3 seconds and then pops back up and WILL NOT go away.  If I click on the second box, Install, it says  The software is currently unavailable.  To install a Java SE 6 runtime later, open Java Application again.
    My confusion here is that I have no idea what the java application is, When I click "okay" on that box, the original box pops us again and WILL NOT go away. CGoing to the apple lega web site was no help.  My solution so far has been to drag the dialogue box as far to the lower right and out of the way as far as I can.  Help.

    Does this happen immediately after you log in? If so, one of your login items is probably causing it.
