Weird Pop-up Magnifier Randomly Appearing
Hi,
Starting today, I've been having a strange problem when browsing the internet with a pop-up, magnified window appearing when I try to click things. This doesn't happen every time I click something, but often enough to become a annoyance. I tried to add an
image of it happening to give you an idea of what it looks like, but my TechNet account isn't verified yet so I am unable to do so. To give an example of when this happens, when I tried to click the check box to agree to the terms ad service for this website,
this magnified window appeared and I clicked the check box in this window instead. It also has happened when trying to click on a link that a friend of mine posted on Facebook. It struck me as odd that it only started happening today.
Does anybody know if there is a way to disable this? Any help would be much appreciated.
Hi,
Firstly, please follow britishdhez's suggestion to use clean boot to check if this problem keep occures.
According to your description, in my opinion, this problem probably caused by 3rd program that enabled any hotkey which conflict with Winodws hot key. Please check if any software was installed before this problem occures.
Please check IE adds-on if there is any plugin enable that might cause this problem.
You can try to start IE with no adds-on mode for test.
Open Run, type iexplore -extoff, Press
Enter.
If there is any progress, please feel free let me know.

About a month ago a song randomly appeared in my songs list and when I tried swiping to the left to delete the song it wouldn't slide over to show the delete button. The delete slide appears with all of my other songs except that one. The ICloud songs are turned off and it wasn't iTunes Radio. 2 more songs like this have appeared and I can't delete them from both my iPhone or my computer (they don't even show up on my computer). If somebody knows how to fix this that would be amazing! Thank You.

I have a 1st generation ipod, which I love. When I plug it into my computer an image of a disk with a magnifying glass appears (disk scan). When it finishes the scan it always checks out. I then restart it and all looks fine. Each time I plug it in to the computer it does the same thing and it wont show up on my computer. The other strange thing is all of the songs are gone from the ipod but the disk space is still being used. When the ipod is not plugged into the computer everything look fine even the correct date shows up. Any ideas????? Thanks
try reinstalling iTunes.

Apple's ink preference option, randomly appears 2008 Mac Pro???
Ink or inkwell. Is Apple's own handwriting recognition program It is included in leopard and is only available if your mac detects the presence of a wacom tablet.
I don't have a wacom tablet, nor have I ever used one. Yet the ink icon has just recently began appearing randomly. A small menu icon, appears next to the volume control in the menu bar. It also appears under system preferences between keyboard and mouse and the print and fax preferences.
The ink icon and preference option will just mysteriously also disappear within a few minutes.
I don't have a wireless card in my mac pro. I also double checked to see if all bluetooth options are turn off. I have two hard drives both with separate installations of OS X. This has happened on both installs.
The only thing new is a airport extreme base station. The airport is being used by only two computers my 2008 mac pro and a imac out in the living room. Both are using ethernet no wireless.
At first I suspected the airport was picking up a stray signal from a neighbor using a wacom tablet.
But I think thats unlikely since any wireless tablet would be using bluetooth.
I did also upgrade to ilife 09. Again I don't see how ilife 09 could cause trouble like this.
I have googled to see if anyone else may have experienced anything like this. I have found nothing helpful.
Any one have any ideas To what might cause this?Anyone?

All bluetooth options are turned off. I have no bluetooth devices nor have I ever used one with this mac. I also have wake for ethernet administrator disabled. I also checked to see if their were any scheduled wake events.
Just before this morning on the advice from Apple care I did both a PSM and PRAM reset. To see if that would element the random appearing ink icon. From My first post.
I think Their is a problem with my bluetooth chip receiving signals when is not sopped to. The chip is not turning off?

What antivirus protection should I purchase for my MacBook Pro? MacSecurity.app appeared on my desktop, and I downloaded that. Since then, it has said my computer is infected and pop-ups have been appearing.
You've been infected by a scam trojan. You don't need any anti-virus software on your Mac. See the following about getting rid of the trojan.
Trojan War
If you discover a trojan program is running on your computer then look to the following information for assistance:
1. A recent discussion on the Apple Support Communities: MacDefender Trojan.
2. An excellent site devoted to Mac Malware: Macintosh Virus Guide
3. Another site for removing MacDefende, et.al.: MAC Defender Rogue Anti-Virus analysis and Removal
4. A new removal utility - MacDefenderKiller
Removing strange software can be a task. The following outlines various ways of uninstalling software:
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a Startup item or a Log In item. Startup items are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the Delete [-] button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead. Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Note that you must have this software installed before you install software you may need to uninstall. Uninstallers won't work if you install them after the fact. Here is a selection:
AppZapper
Automaton
Hazel
CleanApp
Yank
SuperPop
Uninstaller
Spring Cleaning
Look for them and others at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on removing software and dealing with spyware and malware.
After removing all the components of the software you may have to restart the computer to fully disable the software. This will be the case when removing software that has installed a daemon. After the daemon has been removed you need to restart the computer to stop the daemon. Alternatively, you can kill the daemon process using the Terminal application or Activity Monitor. -
Why do I have a light blue screen randomly appear?
In the middle of using my MacBook, a light blue screen randomly appears. It disappears if I shut the screen and then open it again. It was happening every few months, now it's happening a couple of times a day.
Hi, got exacly the same problem, the screen turns light blue every now and then especially when watching a video on the internet and I can't shut it down. Well, I noticed that it was happening when the mac book pro had been running for a while and was particularly warm, then one day I pointed a fan towards the device to cool it down and after a few minutes internet came back. I do the same thing all the times the screen goes off and I always sort it out, it must be about overheating.

Random é appears when printing
I have Illustrator 10 and after saving to a PDF and printing from Acrobat, a random 'é' appears at the start of every text line. This is not visible in any view on the computer at all, and I have wasted a lot of time trying to remove it. Please, if anyone has any ideas of how to remove the é from the printed document, your advice would be greatly appreciated. I need to figure this out asap.
Thanks.Just for clarification...
You don't really mean
random, do you?
It appears
only at the start of each line, and it happens with
every line, right? That would make it anything
but random.
Does this happen with all fonts or only with one or a few?
What happens when you print the document directly out of Illustrator on the same printer? -
Randomly appearing/disappearing images
I have two images on a page that will randomly appear and
disappear when the page is refreshed. Sometimes both appear at the
same time, but with subsequent refreshing of the page one of them
will disappear, then it might reappear while the other one
disappears, then both will come back, etc. As far as I can tell it
truly is random.
I've gone over the code very methodically looking for any
anomalies, and there's nothing obvious to me. It occurs in both IE
and FF. This is the first web page I've built using Dreamweaver's
layout mode to create tables, so that may or may not be a factor.
But it's time to ask for help, because I really am stumped at this
point.
I would be more grateful than I can express for any tips
anyone can offer. You can view the code here:
http://stressfreewebsites.com/temp2/ex-a/temp2-a.html
The two rogue images are the header bars in the main text.
I have to laugh myself at the irony of the website's theme:
building 'stress-free' websites for small businesses. Stress-free
for the end user perhaps, but only because all the stress is on my
end, lol.> This is the first
> web page I've built using Dreamweaver's layout mode to
create tables
We are all hoping it's the last, too.
In my opinion, there are three serious problems with Layout
Mode -
1. Perhaps most importantly, it sits between you and *real*
HTML tables,
and fools you into believing that concepts like "layout cell"
and
"autostretch" really mean something. They do not. As long as
you use
Layout Mode, you'll never learn one of the most important
things for new web
developers - how to build solid and reliable tables.
2. Actually, #1 wouldn't be *so* bad, except that the code
that is written
by Layout Mode is really poor code. For example, a layout
table contains
MANY empty rows of cells. This can contribute to a table's
instability.
In addition, if your initial positioning of the table's cells
is a bit
complex,
Layout Mode will throw in col- and rowspans aplenty as it
merges and splits
cells willy-nillly to achieve the pixel-perfect layout you
have specified.
Again,
this is an extremely poor method for building stable tables,
because it
allows
changes in one tiny cell's shape (i.e, dimensions) to ripple
through the
rest
of the table, usually with unexpected and sometimes
disastrous consequences.
This is one of the primary reasons for the final result's
fragility - read
this -
http://apptools.com/rants/spans.php
3. The UI for Layout Mode is beyond confusing - many options
that you might
want to use are inaccessible, e.g., inserting another table,
or layer onto
the page.
I can understand the new user's desire to use this tool to
make their life
easier,
but the cost is just too heavy in my opinion.
To make good tables, keep it simple. Put a table on the page,
and begin to
load your content. If you would want a different table
layout, instead of
merging or splitting cells, consider stacking tables or
nesting simple
tables instead, respectively.
And above all, do not try to build the whole page with a
single table!
Luckily, Adobe understands the problems created for the
unsuspecting user
who falls into this trap, and has elected to remove this
feature altogether
from the next version of DW. The time is right for you to
begin working
with tables properly!
To read more about this approach, visit the DW FAQ link in my
sig, and run
through the table tutorials.
I was not able to duplicate your image behavior after many
refreshes in both
IE7 and FF2x.

my iphone5,ios7.1.2...itunes. Version 11.3.1.2 ...when ever i connect ..my iphone from my windows computer ....on iphone screen it shows a kind of pop up "THIS ACCESSORY MAY NOT BE SUPPORTED " .....every time when i connect this pop up used to appear on...kindly resolve my isshue
iOS 7 will give errors on non Apple certified peripherals. So make sure you only use Apple certified products. Did you backup the phone and then RESTORE AS NEW (not reset)? Try doing that by plugging the phone to iTunes on a computer. See if that helps. If it solves the problem, there could have been corrupted software on you phone. If not, it could be a hardware issue (including the battery), in which case you would need to go to a Apple Store or authorized service provider.

Itunes pop-up window keeps appearing on itunes pc
Hi! i thought i'll download from the itunes store on pc for a change. But as i type my CORRECT password on pop-up window that appears everytime you download something, it says that it is accessing the itunes store and 3 seconds later it pops up the same window asking for the same password. I know my password is correct becuase as it pops up it doesn't say incorrect password in bold red, instead it is the exact same window from the previous pop-up. I tried again on my ipod while it is plugged into my comp and it works, but it seems that i cannot download and sync games from the itunes store into my ipod using pc. Please ay suggestions?
Maybe:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
Go to iTunes>Store and sign out of account and sign back in -
Pop up window to appear in a specific size
Hi friends,
On button click i want the pop up window to appear as per the required size ,after which i can drag and change accordingly.
This is the code i am using
DATA LO_WINDOW_MANAGER TYPE REF TO IF_WD_WINDOW_MANAGER.
DATA LO_API_COMPONENT TYPE REF TO IF_WD_COMPONENT.
DATA LO_WINDOW TYPE REF TO IF_WD_WINDOW.
LO_API_COMPONENT = WD_COMP_CONTROLLER->WD_GET_API( ).
LO_WINDOW_MANAGER = LO_API_COMPONENT->GET_WINDOW_MANAGER( ).
LO_WINDOW = LO_WINDOW_MANAGER->CREATE_WINDOW(
WINDOW_NAME = 'W_POPUP'
close_in_any_case = abap_false
close_button = abap_true
BUTTON_KIND = IF_WD_WINDOW=>CO_BUTTONS_OKcancel
DEFAULT_BUTTON = IF_WD_WINDOW=>CO_BUTTON_OK ).
lo_window->set_window_size( width = '400' height = '200' ).
lo_window->set_remove_on_close( abap_true ).
LO_WINDOW->OPEN( ).
presently for all set_window_size( ) settings, i am getting the same window size in the beginning but draging is working properly.
please give suggestions to generate a popup as per my window_size requirement.
regards,
Radhikahi ..
I tried all these possibilities as per the above suggestd posts,then also i am getting the same.please suggest some other alternatives too,for eg, any othr methods which will meet my requirement.
thank you.

I have a macbook pro with OSX Mavericks 10.9.5 and some keys randomly are not working. Specifically, the enter/return button, the "p", "0", ";", and all the function keys. What's really weird is that happens randomly. I've never spilled anything on it, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to fix this. Can anyone help? of course this happened after my warranty expired.
**update**
I don't know if this will help someone but I am posting this for that purpose. In the past when I first had this problem, I'd read a post somewhere (sorry, long ago, don't have the link) where an individual was having the same problem and they stated that when the MBP got heated, that's when the keys would stop working, and they went into the MBP and jiggle some stuff around (a specific wire, I'm not electronically inclined so I know NOT of what they spake!). Well I didn't want to do that but it always stuck in the back of my mind. I had given up, really, and was planning to take my MBP to the apple store. But by chance one night I left my MBP on the floor where it's cool, and when I turned it on, the problem went - poof! It seems there was some validity to the post that spoke about heat, because my problems started when I would stream foreign dramas on my MBP for hours at night, and I would hear the fan going off all the time, and in the mornings, my "p", "enter", "0", ";", and all the function keys would stop working.
So, maybe try keeping the MBP in a cool place when it's off. Since I've started doing this overnight every night (keeping it on the cool floor, out of reach of any big feet), I have not had a single problem with my keyboard.
Hopefully this might help someone. -
Import AfterEffects Project dialoge randomly appears?
I exported an XML from CS6 which a director then opened in CS5.5 and then sent back as an XML. I opened it in CS6 and ever since then whenever I open the project the AE project import dialoge randomly appears. This happens when I...
- First start up the program
- Start up "Export Media"
- Start up Media encoder
It might happen in other instances but it is a really werid occurance. Sometimes the program will crash when I exit out of the window.Have him just send you his actual 5.5 project. It'll open in CS6 fine.

Hello Ashik, I received a message few days ago, telling me that my iCloud account would be downloaded to 5GB by Sept. 30. Until here everything is ok. But since that day I can´t receive any email in my iCloud account. Randomely appears a message that says that I´m using more of space than it´s allowed to use for backups, etc. When I check my info in the account settings, it says that I have 3.9 GB free, I dont understand what´s going on here, What should I do? h
Hi JavaBrat,
I'm assuming that you only use Yahoo mail on the web and not through a mail client, such as Outlook or Thunderbird?
Also, make sure all of your Yahoo emails are going directly to the Yahoo inbox and not to sub folders or junk folders. Only the inbox will be delivered to your BlackBerry.
If the above doesn't help, feel free to send me your PIN via Private Message so that I can see if there are any issues on our side with your account integration.
Thanks!

I found the operating system very confusing and hard to use. No tutorial. Manual and online help were outdated. Tool bars, programs and documents randomly appeared and disappeared. Programs I installed completely disappeared. Anyone else experience this?
No need to apologize, Jim. I think your rant was justified. For years people have been telling me how easy the Mac was to use. Imagine my frustration when I finally learned from friends and users that it takes weeks or months to make the transition from Windows to Mac.
Still, I agree that I acted to too hastily when I returned my mini-mac to the store only three days after I bought it.
I'm going to try again, this time with an iMac. This time I'll keep it. Since this thread is for the mini-Mac only, I'll probably be starting a new one for the iMac.
Why did I decide to try again? Well, I do like the faster speed and compact hardware of the Macs. I also like the fact that I can install Windows and use that for my programs until I transition completely to Mac, IF I make the complete transition.
Thank you all for your suggestions and advice. I have paid attention to what you said.
