What are little transparent notices that pop onto the screen?

There are little transparent notices that pop onto the screen whenever the computer congratulates itself for doing something like a download or finding an infected email and eliminating it.  What are those called and how can I turn them off?

Thanks for replying MacJack,
It turns out that it was Growl, not an anti-virus program that was being the nuisance.
I found out how to disable those distracting pop-ups by following the directions on Growl's website.

  • I recently noticed that several of the movies I purchased in ITunes no longer will play. A notice screen pops up and says they are unable to locate. The do however play on my new AppleTV that I just set up. Is there a fix for this?

    Just recently I noticed that several of the movies I have purchased from Itune no longer will open and a screen pops up and ask if I would like to locate the file. I can however open all of them in my newly set up AppleTV, so I am confused as to "where are they?"

    Hi Paddy...
    Try re downloading the movies. You won't be charged again.

  • I just updated my iphone to ios 7 and updated itunes to 11.1.  Yesterday I noticed I couldn't move music from my library to my iphone.  Today I noticed that most of the music on my iphone is gone.  What do I do?

    I don't see how the AAC Version thing really applies here - the issue seems to be with
    the time it takes for "Preparing to Update" to run when adding new songs and
    the fact that a bunch of songs can get temporarily deleted from your phone, then need to be recopied over.
    I should also add that I'm using iTunes for Mac (OS 10.6).
    And Linda0410, if you view your phone's library in iTunes on your computer while it's copying, you should be able to see a bunch of grayed out songs, and there will be a little indicator on the left hand side of each song that's currently being copied.

  • My Macbook Pro is 3 years old. Lately I have noticed that after charging the available battery time is approximately 3:30. This is with little or nothing running. And sure enough after 3:30 hours of mixed use (email, web surfing, file work) it's done.

    My Macbook Pro is 3 years old. Lately I have noticed that after charging the battery life indicated is approximately 3:30; this is with little or nothing running. And sure enough after about 3:30 of mixed use (email, web srfing, file work) it's done. I'm thinking I should be getting better than that; at least twice that number.

    So I am sitting in Nagoya and have plugged in the hotel LAN cable because the WiFi wasn't kicking in and my battery capacity is 6-7 hours! Most other places had a good reliable WiFi which is what I would normally use; I'm thinking the WiFi is a bit of a battery-hog. Stuff you learn.

  • I just noticed that some of the movies I had in iTunes did not get transferred to the iPhone. The missing movies are shown as generic movie icons in the iTunes panel. How do I get the original movies to show up again and transfer to the iPhone?

    I just noticed that some of the movies I had in iTunes did not get transferred to the iPhone 5. The missing movies are shown as generic movie icons in the iTunes panel and are checked to select them. But they do not show up in iPhone Videos. How do I get the original movies to show up again and transfer to the iPhone? I recently upgraded Mac OS to 10.6.8

    1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
    2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

  • How can I get missing contacts, notes, calendar dates and reminders that are just on my old iphone onto the iCloud for transfer to my new iPhone upgrade?

    Dear wise & wondeful people:
    How can I get missing contacts, notes, calendar dates and reminders that are just on my old iphone onto the iCloud for transfer to my new iPhone upgrade? Half of my contacts, notes, ect. were on my iCloud so have happily moved to my new iPhone but the rest are completely resistant. For example, on my iCloud I have 14 missing contacts starting with the letter A alone, however they are happily viewable on my old iPhone 4S and won't budge over into the iCloud.
    There are also 3 notes missing yet still acessible on my onld iPhone 4S, the list goes on.
    Your help would be most appreciated. Thank you so much.

    The screen shows problems with iCloud only choices are ignore or settings, however nothing I do will unlock it from this screen, cannot power off keeps that bubble on the screen. What do I do?

    Try this now.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • What are main events in that are used in ALV reports

    hi gurus
    what are main events in that are used in ALV reports....
    regards
    baskar

    hi
    i think this will help u.
    Events in alv and their FM    The main events in alv and their FM and why we use these: 
    1. SLIS_PRINT_ALV. 
    2. SLIS_T_LISTHEADER. 
    3. SLIS_T_EVENT. 
    4. SLIS_T_SORTINFO_ALV. 
    5. SLIS_T_LAYOUT_ALV. 
    6. SLIS_T_FIELDCAT_ALV. 
    and in classic reports what is the sequence of events:   === Events are 
    At selection-screen output. 
    Initialization. 
    At selection-screen on field 
    At selection-screen on end of field 
    At selection-screen on Radiobutton Group R1. (If you have any radio buttons) 
    At selection-screen on block b1. (If you have any blocks) 
    Start-of-selection. 
    Get node. (if the data is retreived from a logical database) 
    Get node late. (if the data is retreived from a logical database) 
    Top-of-page. (if the write statement is in the end-of-selection event or we can say that before the first write statement) 
    end-of-selection. 
    and fuction modules are 
    LISTHEADER - Is used to print the header information in the ALV List. Name, Date, Time, ALV Name and other details are called as Header information.   EVENT - Basically this is the FM to handle Event's. When the user needs to do some event operation like when double clicking the a particular field we need to perform some operation.   These events are captured by this FM.   LAYOUT - This FM is used to define the layout of the List. There are many options available in this FM to define the Layout style.   FIELDCAT - These are used to populate the List header. We can change them according to our req.

  • I re-installed Mountain Lion from a USB stick, and now my Apps can't be downloaded.  The App store indicates that the Apps are already installed, but that is not the case. Now what :)

    I re-installed Mountain Lion from scratch of a USB stick, and now my Apps in the App store ca not be installed, the App store indicates that they are already installed, but that is not the case.  Now what?

    Ok, this is somewhat of a better work around I've found:
    Starting in the Australian iTunes store, I go through the process of signing into the UK iTunes store up until the point it asks for my credit card information.
    I then click the 'X' in the top left of iTunes to exit the store.
    Now when I click on my Apps Updates button it shows me what UK Apps I have that are available to update.
    You can't download these as at this point I've changed the store I'm viewing, but haven't officially switched accounts. Not to worry.
    I write down the names of the UK Apps to update.
    Then, use the 'search store' field in the top right of iTunes to search for one of the Apps.
    Once you've found it, click to buy it / download it.
    iTunes recognises that the App is already in your account and downloads it again for free….
    … now I'm HOPING that that App is now fully within my Australian account… unfortunately only time will tell once there is a new update for it.
    I'll let you know.

  • I have a football game recorded on a DVD R disc that I was trying to view on my MacBook using DVD Player.  The video comes onto the screen, but immediately freezes, and then disappears.  An error message comes up saying that DVD player unexpectedly quit.

    I have a football game recorded on a DVD+R disc that I was trying to view on my MacBook using DVD Player.  The video comes onto the screen, but immediately freezes, and then disappears.  An error message comes up saying that DVD player unexpectedly quit.  My MacBook operating system is Mac OS X, version 10.5.8.  DVD Player is App version 5.0.3, framework version 5.0.7.
    However, the DVD+R works on both my Dad's and my brother's laptops.  My Dad's laptop is an iBook G4 with Mac OS X operating system, version 10.3.9.  The DVD Player is version 4.0.  My brother's laptop is a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X operating system, version 10.7.2.  The DVD Player is App version 5500.26.1 and framework version 5.5.0.  The DVD+R plays fine on their laptops, but will not play on mine.

    Lao Bo,
    yes, you can locate and copy a file from your HD to a USB key using UNIX commands. If you know the exact name of the file which you’re trying to locate, try this:
    find / -iname filename -print
    This command will search your entire internal disk for the particular filename. If you know that it’s within a particular user account, then you can save search time with this variation:
    find /Users/username -iname filename -print
    Either variation of this command will print all files found which have the given filename. Presuming that you’re able to identify the correct file, you can copy it to a USB key using the command
    cp -p filename_returned_by_find /Volumes/USB_volume
    If you’re not sure which volume name your USB key has, this command will show you what the possibilities are:
    ls /Volumes
    Please let me know if you have any trouble with these commands.

  • Whenever I open a new Firefox Browser, the other Firefox Browsers that I have minimized to the bottom of the screen all restore, (reopen up) onto the screen with the new opened Firefox Browser, how do I stop this? Just want the new one to open on screen

    Whenever I open a new Firefox Browser, the other Firefox Browsers that I have minimized to the bottom of the screen all restore, (reopen up) onto the screen with the new opened Firefox Browser, how do I stop this? Just want the new one to open on screen and the existing stay minimized.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I think when a I updated or downloaded a newer version of FireFox at Firefox's suggestion.

    Hmm that does sound a bit strange - I use a system quite similar to yours (XP, FF 3.6.3), and don't see this behaviour.
    I would recommend trying to start Firefox in Firefox [[Safe Mode]] (make sure you close '''all''' running Firefox instances first), and see if this problem persists.
    If not, it could be some add-on causing this behaviour - restart Firefox in Safe Mode, disable all add-ons, and enable them one by one to find the guilty one.
    If it still happens in Firefox Safe Mode, some other program (or something in Windows itself) most likely is the cause. We may be able to help with this too, so let us know what works and provide as much additional information as possible to let us help you solve this.
    Please let us know how above works out, and if we can be of further assistance. Detailed feedback is appreciated and helps us to help you better, plus enables us to better help other users with similar issues.

    What are some different methods that people use to remove shine from the face while still leaving enough for a subtle highlight? I would love to hear all the different options I have. Thanks!

    Here is one:
    Open a blank layer above the background layer

    On the tool's option bar, enter Mode: Darken  Opacity: 30%  Aligned: Checked  Sample all layers: checked
    Zoom in on the shiny area, then ALT+left click a non-shiny skin area to sample the skin. Now, paint over the shiny area
