What does this grey circle in the centre of my shape mean?

When I generate a shape (an arrow in this example) in FCPX, and I pause the movie, a grey circle appears in the centre of the shape.
This disappears as soon as I hit play. I've been trying to find out what this means and if there's any way of turning it off, but there doesn't seem to be
any info in the manual or elsewhere.. (I assume this won't be in the final rendered movie)..

Sure..
I'm using the Shapes generator, set to Arrow.
I've used the Transform tool and resized/re-positioned the arrow in the viewer, using the blue nodes.
When I deslect the 'Transform' pane in the 'Video' section of the inspector the arrow returns to its original size and position.
That's what you are doing WRONG!
You say you are "deselecting" the Tranform pane in the inspector - in fact, you are deactivating the tranformation, hence the size changes you made are not active and the shape reverts to its default size. The application is working as designed.
You are misunderstanding some tips in this thread about deselecting.
What you are supposed to deselect the clip in the timeline - by clicking on an empty area of the timeline, for instance (so that the generator clip no longer show the yellow border).
Alternately, you can just click the "Done" button near the top right of the viewer. This will make the controls associated with Transform cease to appear in the viewer. You can click the transform button again later to make more changes if needed.

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

What does a red circle with a stop (square) in it mean next to a song on your iphone?

HI, i just updated both my itunes and my iphones to the newest update relased on 10/23/2013. as i was updating it, my phone said there was an error and i had to restore it, terible huh? it gets worse. I synced all my music back into my phone, but next to each song there was a red circle with a stop sign in the middle, i clicked on the song and it just skipped to the next song. what does it mean ??

Here is what I tried.
1)Plug your phone into your computer and let it sync
2) Go through your songs and fast forward through each and everyone of them on your phone, that way all the ones that wont play will have stop signs next to them.
3) Then go into intunes and go to "file" then "devices" then click transfer purchases from "..."
That's what I did and it helped

I've got a zillion of these. NEVER once with snow leapord. I've reported this to apple near every time i've gotten the error This is a fresh install. I assume it's my graphcis card? It's a Nvidia GT 120 256MB

Yes, NVIDIA card. Reporting the error helps because the more reports Apple gets the more likely they will focus on it. But don't expect a reply.
Make an appt. at the Genius Bar of an Apple store, it may need to be replaced.

What does "this device is already associated with an Apple ID" mean?

Trying to download a purchased movie to my device and got this message.

Did you use another Apple ID to download earlier?
Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days.

The padlock with the circled arrow around it means the orientation lock is on & the screen will not change from portrait or landscape mode when you rotate your device.

HT201272 Some songs are greyed out while others are black. What does this mean and how can I change it? I'm tired of only 2 or 3 songs from an album repeating while the others disappear off the "Up next".

Please help....I hate iTunes to begin with. Especially the latest they have come up with. Layout drives me crazy. And now....I find maybe a couple of songs in an album as "black" and the other titles are greyed out. What does this mean? I find it very frustrating as the black titles will repeat but the others seem to just disappear off the "play next" list. How can I fix this? And no...downloading from iCloud hasn't helped any.

This sounds like you have some unchecked tracks. These are skipped during track to track playback. The track names are slightly greyed out in the album view. You can normally see the check boxes from the Songs view or you can change the status via the rght-click context menu.

My sons ipod touch has a lock with a arrow circle around it (next to the battery life) what does this mean

my sons ipod toucj has a lock with a circle arrow around it (next to the battery life) what does this mean?

that would be the rotation lock
it can be activated and deactivated by double clicking the home button (round button at the base of the ipod)
and if you swipe along the bottom from left to right
you should see the same symbol on the left.

It means a valid system cannot be found. You need to reinstall OS X.
If you have Snow Leopard:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
If you have Lion or later:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Hi, I was given an iMac Flat Screen over the weekend, it turned on ok, this morning when i turned it on there is a circle with a flashing ?, what does this mean, help!

It means that it cannot locate the operating system.
You need to reinstall from the disks that came with the iMac and which the vendor is required to give you.

I tried to download the latest OSX for my iMac - Mountain Lion.
This is the message that I received:
"We could not complete your purchase. The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed."
What does this mean?

The only thing that worked for me was to boot in safe mode.
Power down. Then press power button and hold 'shift' key until grey screen with progress bar appears... Once booted and logged in just open safari and browse to applestore.
No trouble at all once I did this.
Reminder: create full backup before you upgrade OS
Hope it helps.

It means you have enabled rotation lock, so the screen will not change from portrait to landscape when you rotate the phone.
Double-press the HOME button, then slide the QuickLaunch ribbon from left to right to reveal the lock control icon.
