What is this annoying gray square that popped up on my screen that has home device etc on it?

I have a small traveling square with a round dot in the center that goes from position 12 to position 3 to position 6 or position 9 or back to 12. Or stays at one of those four. When you click on it, the display says home, device, Amorites and Siri.  How can I get rid of this obnoxious thing.  How the heck did I get it in the first place?

That would be the Assistive Touch option. Check: Settings - General - Accessibility - Assistive Touch = Off.

  • What is this apps infusion request that keeps popping up when I visit web sites?

    What is this apps infusion request that keeps popping up when I go to any website? 

    I see.
    You'll get that prompt if (1) you have "Limit website access to location services ... Prompt for each website once each day" selected in Safari > Preferences > Privacy and (2) the website you are visiting requests your location. The other options for (1) are "... Prompt for each website one time only" and "Deny without prompting" in both Lion (10.7) and Mountain Lion (10.8); for privacy reasons, there is no option to allow without prompting.
    It makes sense that the website you were visiting might need your location to provide you with local vendors. If they employ the services of the business technology company names Infusion, that's why the request refers to apps.infusion.com instead of the top-level site you were visiting.
    As for why it started suddenly last week, that could be for any of several reasons.
    * Did you just start visiting that food service site?
    * Maybe the food service site just started using Infusion's services.
    * Maybe Infusion just started using Mac OS X services to obtain your location.

  • In the top right corner of my i phone screen there is a small padlock with a circle around it, what is this for and how do i get rid of it,, it has only just popped up

    in the top right corner of my iphone screen there is a small padlock with a circle around it, what is this for and how do i get rid of it, it has just popped up...

    That is the orientation lock indicator. It means that you phone will not go into landscape mode when tilted on it's side.
    To turn orientation lock off double tap the home button, to access the multitasking menu, then swipe your finger to the right over the multitasking bar at the bottom and touch the big button on the left with the padlock.

  • IPhone email - what is the icon (grayed location) that looks like a storage box do?

    Phone email - what is the icon  (grayed location) that looks like a storage box do?  It is on the bottom of the screen when you open a message...it is where the trash can would be?
    We put a message in there by mistake and have no idea where it went or how to retrieve it.
    Thanks,
    Annie

    The Icon meas your display orientation is locked to vertical so it wont change when you turn the phone sideways.
    First thing you should check with the battery life is multitasking, which also happens to be where the orientation lock can be turned off.  check out   http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4211 and go from there

  • When i try to open iphoto it opens but its just a gray window that has the loading icon

    when i try to open iphoto it opens but its just a gray window that has the loading icon

    What version of iphoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • I have a project that crashed on me when I was about to finish it. When I try to reopen Final Cut Pro it wouldn't open until I took the project out of the Final Cut Project folder. Can somebody tell me if this is a problem that has a solution? I cannot

    I have a project that crashed on me when I was about to finish it. When I try to reopen Final Cut Pro it wouldn't open until I took the project out of the Final Cut Project folder. Can somebody tell me if this is a problem that has a solution? I cannot go back to the project at all.

    If you are using 10.0.3 or above Apple added a backups folder that for a little extra protection in cases like this. If you quite FCPX go to your Final Cut Pro Projects folder. Find the folder that has the project in question. If it has a backups folder there should be a file with a date stamp and .fcpproject extention, that is your back-up. Just move the back-up from that folder one folder up to the place where you deleted CurrentVersion.fcpproject from.  When I have had to do this I haven't renamed the backup but some people to recomend that you rename it to CurrentVersion.fcpproject and it seems to work both ways. Ofcourse it wont work if there is already a CurrenVersion file there you will need to delete that one first.
    If you don't have the backups folder or there is nothing in it I am not sure if there is anything that can be done.

    * In Firefox 3.6 versions on Windows and Firefox 4 on Windows and Linux it's possible to hide the "Menu Bar" via "View > Toolbars" or via the right-click context menu of a toolbar.
    * Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
    * Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the "Menu Bar" or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).
