What is this black dialog bar and how do I turn it off?

I started up my MBP today and found this little piece of garbage on the screen, telling me what I'm doing. I just updated my software last night, including iTunes; is this some crappy part of an OS X update? It happens when I have all applications closed, as well.
Strange thing is, it wasn't happening when I first restarted my computer after installing the new software updates. Does anyone know what this is and how I can close it?

You pressed command-F5 and turned on VoiceOver. Press it again, or go to System Preferences -> Universal Access -> Seeing and turn it off.

  • What does this error message mean and how do I solve it? "Sorry, one or more of the following command-line tools was not found:  /usr/bin/lsbom, /bin/pax, /bin/mkdir, /bin/chmod, or /usr/bin/update_prebinding."

    When I try to open up this program, Pacifist, I receive this error message. Here's a screenshot. http://i.imgur.com/v717w.jpg What does this error message mean and how do I solve it?

    It sounds like some of the Unix Executable commands were removed (or the permissions to those were modified) out of the /usr/bin/ folder.  You can try opening disk utility and repairing permissions on Macintosh HD or you can reboot your computer and holding down option-r when it comes back up to reinstall Lion again.  This will not delete your personal information or applications you have installed but it would be best to back it up to Time Machine before you do.  The article on how to do this is here. (http://www.apple.com/macosx/recovery/)  I have had to do this before and it works like a charm.  It should fix your issue but grab a cup of coffee because its going to take about 35 - 40 minutes depending on how fast your computer is.

    I've been sent a scan of a document as an attachment. Clicking on it, I get the message, "Pixel aspect ration correction is for preview purposes only. Turn it off for maximum image quality." What is pixel aspect ration and how do I turn it off?

    It's "aspect ratio", not aspect "ration". 
    It's what determines whether you have square pixels ("normal") or, if rectangular pixels, what the aspect ratio (width : length)  of that rectangle is.
    It's explained in the Help files.  I cannot go into more detail because you have neglected to provide information about your platform and exact version of Photoshop.

  • Why when im streaming my songs for my library on my apple tv does it censor the songs and how do i turn it off?

    Why when im streaming my songs for my library on my apple tv does it censor the songs and how do i turn it off?

    I use iTunes Match, and I notice that when I play "matched" versions of 2Pac's "I Ain't Mad at Cha", all of the curse words are skipped over. Just to make sure it wasn't my copy of the track, I played it off of my permanent library, and the song plays properly. So I believe that Apple has seen fit to censor the song. I haven't read about this anywhere, but I'm pretty upset about it. I own the track -- I have a copy of 2Pac's Greatest Hits, which I ripped. If I turn off iTunes Match and transfer the song to my mobile devices with a USB cable, I could play it the way I want to hear it. I think iTunes Match is a fantastic concept, but I don't need Apple deciding what kinds of music I should or shouldn't be listening to.
    Incidentally, I haven't noticed other tracks with curse words censored. It may be that I loaded them onto my mobile device before Apple began censoring.

    I don't see visible underscores in that login form, but they appear to be entered (that form isn't high enough to show them for me).

  • What does the shortcut control-3 and control-4 do, and how can I turn it off?

    I'm trying to create some macros and remap my keyboard for a game, but running into some issues not being able to remap control-3 and control-4. I finally figured out that control-1 and 2 were used by Mission Control, and once that was off I gained control over those keys. But for the life of me I can't figure out what control-3 and control-4 do. I've searched various shortcut lists, but none seem to list this combination (except that it controlled Spaces, but that's gone with the new OSX).
    Does anyone know what these keys are shortcuts for and how I can release them? Thanks!

    user293, you must not understand what I mean, because this particular thing is brand new this past week. (I guess you think I am talking about a closely related thing, because I know that most of the way it is now has been this way for a while.)
    Thanks cor-el, that totally fixed it.
    Although I am dismayed that it's not just a search option and requires user hacking.

  • What is the Debugger and how do you turn it off?

    Hi folks, I'm updating a site for a client and when I open

    What the heck is this and how do I keep it from turning on? I

    It's annoying when you don't want to bebug, I agree, but the
    situation
    you're describing is really useful when you need to debug
    Flash content in a
    browser. ;)

    > I don't want browsers to get locked up.
    Assuming you have the FLA source file, open it in the Flash
    authoring
    tool and head over to File > Publish Settings. Select the
    Flash tab, then
    uncheck the "Permit debugging" checkbox, then republish the
    SWF.
