What does the number in the red circle mean on calendar?

And how do I get rid of it?  I would have guessed it's trying to show me there is some event today but it's been like this for a week and opening the calendar and scanning all the events doesn't make it go away.

It is a so-called "Badge app icon", notifying you of e.g. an invitation that someone sent you. So, you may check for invitations. Once accepted or denied, it'll be gone.
By default, it's the same as for the Mail or Messages icons: if something new has come in, you see the badge app icon, so you know without having the app open. Isn't it wonderful...?
You can enable or disable this for all app icons:
-> System Preferences -> Notifications, then select an app in the left pane (e.g. Calendar). In the right pane, (un-)check "Badge app icon" as per your liking.

  • This is probably a stupid question, but what does the red circle with a number in it mean on iCal? It looks just like the emails notification. I do not have anything do or up in my cal.

    This is probably a stupid question, but what does the red circle with a number in it mean on iCal? It looks just like the emails notification. I do not have anything do or up in my cal.

    Actually, another person on the "more like this" had the right answer. It meant I had a notification for an invite that I needed to respond to.
    Hope this helps you as much as it helped me.

  • What does the dotted circle mean?

    When connecting itouch to itunes, what does the dotted circle mean next to a song? Thanks for the help.

    Hi pfn,
    From an earlier post on this topic - this may work for you - it's worth a try:
    First go to the 'On This iPad/iPod/iPhone' section and note all the tracks that have dotted circles.
    In the 'Music' section, un-check/de-select all the tunes noted 
    Apply and sync the changes. 
    Once that completes re-check/re-select the same tunes just un-checked/de-selected in the 'Music' section.
    Apply and sync the changes again
    Go back into the 'On This iPad/iPod/iPhone' section
    Hopefully all the dotted circles will be gone and all the tracks can be played
    See if this helps!
    Cheers,

  • What does the red bubble mean that is near the phone symbol and moves over to the vm symbol when phone is turned on

    What does the red bubble mean that appears near the phone symbol then moves over temporarly to the VM symbol, when first turning the phone on.  It goes away with a few seconds

    It means you have no signal, or if on the VM icon, it means to visual voicemail.  Sounds like you're just getting it temporarily until the phone establishes a signal.

  • What does the red circle with #1 mean on an specific app?

    My App store shows that all apps are up to date, but 2 games have a red circle with number 1:  4 elements and Call of Atlantis

    I'm not sure how your question relates to apps and games on the iPad. This is the Using iPad forum. I have never downloaded an app in the Mac App Store. The information that I provided is in reference to games and apps using the iPad, but I assume that the Mac App Store works the same way.
    Bearing in mind that I have never downloaded from the App Store on the Mac, as I can best remember, only Apple applications and software updates would show up via Software Update. For instance, prior to the Mac App Store in Snow Leopard, any updates that were or are available in any third party applications on the Mac would have their own updaters and will not be available via Software Update. Microsoft Office for example had it's own Microsoft Updater application and those updates never came via Software Update. Software update does not work for third party apps.
    Apparently, if you purchase for the Mac App Store, updates are indicated like they are on the iPad with the red number in the circle on the App Store icon in the dock.

  • What does the red circle with a line thru it mean?

    I'm exhausted! Trying to find an answer to WHY iTunes won't allow me to drag a song to my iPod Nano?  It was originally an MP3; I unzipped the file; I played it in iTunes song list; it had a ! next to it; iTunes asked if it should find the file; iT found the file; the ! was removed; I played it again in iT; when I tried to drag it to my iPod, THERE WAS A RED CIRCLE WITH A LINE THRU IT????  I have yet to find--i googled and youtubed and appled til my eyes and brain and fingers ached and burned ;(--what the SYMBOL means?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
    I have been able to download similar audio of this nature...Not sure why this one is BLOCKED?
    Thank you!

    What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
    From your description "little circle with a line in it", that sound like a symbol when you are trying to do a cannot do operation.
    What exactly are you doing in your edit activities when you see this circle with a line in it? Is it at the end of the mouse cursor?
    Can you post a screenshot of it?
    If my first impression of what this is happens to be correct, then "How do I get rid of it?" answer comes from
    a. defining what you want to do
    and
    b. correcting any mis-steps you are taking in doing that
    We will be watching for your follow up.
    Thanks.

  • What does the red text mean when I view the Page Source of a page I am developing?

    I am using Dreamweaver 8 to develop a simple web page. When I view the source code in Firefox, it marks mistakes (i think) in red text, like if i forgot to close some code. However, it also marks all the /'s red that Dreamweaver puts before closing a section of code. You can see my page at acoustiyah.com. View the page source in Firefox and you'll see what I mean. I can code this by hand without those slashes, but do I need to do that? Why are those forward slashes red?
    Thanks

    Thanks Scott,
    So those slashes will not cause a problem in Google search rankings or something like that? There must be some reason that Firefox doesn't like them, right? Or is it just because the Firefox dictionary isn't expanded enough yet?

  • What does the orange circle with white arrows mean?

    what does the orange circle with white arrows mean?

    Well, I've not seen that one before. In fact I had to click on it so as to read the tiny
    text, then it appeared in another window as a .png image... so I retyped it  + also
    supplied a .jpg of the same image of different size. Too wide: automatically scale.
    Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    ...maybe this is large enough to see without clicking? It probably scaled small.
    •About the actual topic in your reply, in regular size text:
    { did you upgrade from an older Mac OS X? from what?}
    You mean it could not or would not boot SafeBoot?
    Here's an official support topic page about it.
    •OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564?viewlocale=en_US
    Could be you need to start from a boot volume, or Recovery partition to repair it.
    That is a more detailed way to repair disk & repair disk permissions, unmounted.
    Not sure about that SUID thing, though. It may revert after a normal startup.
    Maybe someone can offer better 'ways & means'... LOL!
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • HT4059 what does the red light and 'not in store' mean

    What does the red light in manage my books mean? And what does 'not in store mean'?

    Hello Simon,
    I believe you have two unrelated problems. The red light is only associated with the digital audio port and indicates the "mute" switch inside the jack that turns off the built-in speakers when phones are in use has jammed in the mute position. No way it should affect your ability to start the computer. That has to be something else.
    Does your computer give the normal startup chime sounds when you turn it on?
    If you are getting the normal startup chime and have a wired keyboard, boot while pressing the SHIFT key. Keep holding the SHIFT key until you get a desktop, then let go the key. At this point, do not try to do any work with the computer but rather see if it will restart normally (without holding any keys or key combos).

  • I was playing with my ipad settings (it's an older model) and noted in the advanced settings of Safari there was a place to view website databases.  When I clicked on this I saw websites.  How do these get there and what does the space amount mean?

    I was playing with my ipad settings and noted in he advanced settings of Safari there was a place to view "website databases".  When I selected this I saw a multitude of websites.
    Can anyone tell me how these get there?  Can a website be posted even if it was never went to?  What does the space amount mean?  For example, 1.5 kb...is this quite a bit?  Would it indicate someone has gone to a site multiple times?
    I share my ipad with my teenage daughter and I'm trying to find out if she's lying to me.  Obviously she's swearing that she has "no idea" how these got there and I'm trying to keep her safe (she's only 14).
    Thanks everyone.

    Think of your PC and the 'temporary internet folder' where it keeps cached copies of web pages or elements off a web page for 'quicker display the next time you visit'. That's pretty much what that folder is. 1.5K is tiny. Probably just a basic page with some text on it. (you might be confusing 1.5K with 1.5 megabyte....megabyte is large...it's roughly 1000 kilobytes, so the 1.5K is a tiny file)
    As far as I know, the only way info gets into that folder is if the browser has been to that site.
    if you have a concern there are browsers out there, McGruff is one i've seen recommended, that allow some degree of parental control and supervision. That or you could passcode lock the iPad or enable the restrictions to turn off some parts of the device to have some control.
