What is the bar level icon that appears in upper left corner of my Safari screen?  Sometimes is green, sometimes grey - looks like a volume level icon.  Started showing up about 3 weeks ago.

This icon appears (then promptly disappears) in the upper left hand corner of my Safari screen every time I go to a different web site.  Does anyone know what it is and why it suddenly started to appear about 3 weeks ago?
thanks!  JL

OK folks...thanks to Bee (thank you!) I can post a screen shot of the icon I'm referring to....
Fantastic!  There it is...in all it's glory....look up in the corner, it's a bird, it's a plane...it's...??????
Anyone who has info regarding this icon is more than welcome to share!   
Thanks again Bee

    Hello Susan.
    It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
    If the problem is not disappears when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there.

  • HT5219 What are the external monitor requirements that can support having two windows email and safari open side by side?

    I have a 27" iMac at home that supports this but would like to see if I can enable my Macbook air to do the same thing.  I want to find out if this capability can be supported with my Macbook air and if so what are the monitor requirements.

    Usually two causes of that, the first being the windows dpi scaling (most common cause) and the second being your graphics card driver needs to be updated.
    Try playing with the windows dpi settings
    Right click on your Desktop and select Screen Resolution
    Then in the screen that comes up, click on Make Text or Other Items Larger or Smaller
    Then move the slider under Change the Size of All Items to Smaller and restart windows 8
    Also, you can try clicking on Let me choose one scaling level for all my displays, then click on Custom sizing options and drag on the rulers to set 149% and see if that is any better.

  • What does the Pink circle segment that appears in the center of  the Tool bar

    My iMac has been freezing up the last couple of weeks. It is locked up right now and I cannot access or change things with the mouse on the screen.
    There is a pink circle segment  in the center of the toolbar at the top of the screen??? Can anybody tell me what that means and whether there is a fix for what is going on with my iMac?

    You apparently have had a hardware failure, most likely, and should take your Mac in to let an Apple Genius diagnose it.

  • Should I be concerned about pop-up ads on my mac? I started getting them about a week ago.

    I havn't noticed any pop-up ads in the past. The firefox I use also has the pop-up blocker on.
    Is there any good software out there to protect the mac from pop-ups or adware?
    Thanks.

    I should add before the upgrade, the pop-ups would occur behind the browser, now they occur on the front of the browser.

  • Since upgrading to Firefox 4.0.1 there is a approx. 1" white square in the upper left corner of my laptop screen. It goes away when I close Firefox. How do I get rid of it?

    The problem is stated above. My laptop is MacBook Pro.

    This can be a bug on Mac.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

  • 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.

  • The navigation arrows in the upper left corner have disappeared

  • Strange alert in the upper left corner???

    When I go to my AppleTV, I briefly see a small black and white icon in the upper left corner of my TV screen. The icon looks like a Mac Pro (front view) icon with a horizontal battery icon to its immediate right. If it was my digital camera, I would think my camera's batteries needed to be changed soon.
    Any idea what this is?
    BTW- This is the third or fourth query I've made to this forum and I would like to express my gratitude to the folks who have provided answers to my questions. You folks are an inspiration to me to be helpful to others when I can.
    Thanks again,
    John

    Perhaps it means the battery in your remote needs to be replaced

  • Screen showing a whitening of the screen on the upper left corner

    I have a screen problem with my 1G iPhone (non-3G). I bought it within a week of introduction and in about a year, there was noticeable whitening of the upper left corner. I took it to a Apple store, they replaced it with another phone which has a speaker issue and so they replaced that second with another phone (right about when 3G was released). Now, the new phone is showing similar whitening on the upper left corner. Plus I see two bubbles in the display (about the size of a degree symbol) right in the upper left corner. I don't have Apple care coverage anymore. My wife's iPhone does not show this problem (though hers was also replaced for another reason within a year). We have had good luck with Apple products (7 laptops, 2 iMacs over 6 years or so) but we are leery of upgrading to 3G if there is so much trouble. Is it the first generation issue or folks also see this in the 3G model? Any help is appreciated. (The phone was never dropped and I take good care of it)

    I haven't read anything about a recall, so if you have a first generation iPhone that is no longer under warranty and you didn't purchase the AppleCare extended warranty, Apple probably won't do anything for you - at least not for free. Apple doesn't offer a menu of repair services for the iPhone. Apple offers an out of warranty or not covered under the warranty repair price, which pays for an exchange. You can call AppleCare at (800) 694-7466, or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.
    Or do a Google search with iPhone repair, or iPhone out of warranty repair. Depending on what needs to be repaired or replaced, the cost for 3rd party repair services may not be a whole lot less than Apple's repair price, which pays for an exchange and will include a warranty.

    * If the menu bar is hidden then press and hold the Alt key down, that should make the Menu bar appear (Firefox 3.6 on Windows) (see [[Menu bar is missing]]).
    * Make sure that you have the ''Navigation Toolbar'' and other toolbars visible: View > Toolbars .
    * If items are missing then see if you can find them in the View > Toolbars > Customize window.
    * If you see the item in the Customize window then drag it back from the Customize window to the Navigation toolbar.
    * If you do not see that item then click the Restore Default Set button in the View > Toolbars > Customize window.

    hi

    Since about 2 weeks ago for no apparent reason, the internet on my iPad suddenly stopped working (when I open Safari, it says: "Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the Internet"), even though the Wifi icon in the top left corner still shows full signal. However, I noticed when I went into Wifi settings (Settings>Wifi) that there is no checkmark next to my network name (only the spinning circle icon, as if it's trying to process something). This only happens at home (I can browse the internet while connected to  Wifi at university). My other Apple devices (MacBook Pro and iPhone 4S) work perfectly fine at home.
    I've tried resetting my router, restarting my iPad, resetting Network Settings on my iPad, and tried following Hynes' instructions on this thread:https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2453187?start=15&tstart=0, but nothing has worked so far (although I have to admit that I found the instructions on that thread somewhat confusing, so there is a chance that I accidentally did not follow them properly).
    Could someone please help? It'd be VERY much appreciated.

  • I am having major problems with Firefox. About 3 weeks ago I started experiencing the display only when on Firefox for all web site, that the display would be shifted right about half a screen. It only happens on Firefox and happens for all web sites.

    Hi everyone, I have LR 5 that I purchased with a serial number and about a week ago I got the message about a new update, I want to get LR 6 but not the creative cloud, last time from LR4 to LR5 there was just an update without buying the creative cloud, is that possible from LR5 to LR6? Thanks so much.

    You can't install 9.2.1 or earlier on any Mac that is only Mac OS X bootable. In fact you need to use the restore disks which came with those Macs to install 9.2.2 on those Macs. 8.6 is only possible to install on Macs which came with 8.6 or earlier. The 9.1 disk may be useful for your 1999 PowerMac G4, but won't be of any use for a 2006 Powerbook G4.

    Resolved!
    After contacting Apple, I received a reply from their engineers:
    Copy QTMovieWin.dll from:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    to: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    And that did the trick.
