Do you mean a circle within a square that you can drag around ? If so then Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch 'off'

  • I accidentally removed/deleted the Printer icon from my dock - how can I get it back?

    I accidentally removed/deleted the Printer icon from my dock - how can I get it back?  I've tried dragging and dropping from the Print window - no luck.  I tried to drag from the Systems folder - no luck.   IOS 10.9.4

    Well I have always had a printer icon in the Dock, launched or not launched (as in the screen shot below,) right next to the scan icon. Neither of which are launched at the present time.
    What happens if you run a print job, control click the printer icon>Options>Keep in Dock

  • What are this things in my document and how can I get rid oth them

    Hi,
    I'm a happy recent switcher, I'm migrating my .doc documents to pages '08 but sometimes I'm getting weird vertical lines and triangles in the pages document.

  • I have several devices under my apple id. If somebody contacts me all the other devices are ringing. How can I get rid of phone numbers in face time

    Hi, i updated to ios 8
    I have several devices under my apple id account. 2 iPhones (me and my wife ). 2 iPads also me and my wife and my iMac
    The problem is that if somebody calls me for example for face time all the other devices are also ringing, because in face time my phone number is showing and also my wife's phone number. How can I get rid of my phone number on her iphone and ipad and vice versa
    Please help

    has that to do that the ipad has no tel number of course?? Should I leave my id number on her iPad ??
    That isn't due to not having a phone number on her iPad.  You can use FaceTime with any iPad using an email address as the "phone number".  And if her iPad isn't a first generation iPad, if she uses the same Apple ID for FaceTime on both her iPhone and iPad, her iPhone number can be used as well (see iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage).
    If her iPad is not verifying her Apple ID for FaceTime it's probably because the Apple servers are busy.  Keep trying and it should verify.  If you continue to have problems with this, look through the troubleshooting steps here: iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation.

  • 'Fake' twitter icon appeared on screen - how do you get rid?

    Hi new here but hoping someone can help,
    I have a BB Curve 8520 v5 on Vodafone contract.
    From yesterday an 'icon' appeared on my front screen - it is similar in appearance to the twitter icon but blurred, facing the opposite way and has a 1 by the side of it constantly. I have read all my twitter messages, I have carried out the security measures I can think of but that's not to say I have done everything! On my travels through the phone it would appear I did not have encryption enabled or other such settings.
    I've tried a battery pull which hasn't helped.
    The Apps I've got loaded are Twitter, Facebook, Google Maps, Bejeweled, BBHelp & Accuweather,
    Can anyone shed some light on this issue please, it's driving me bonkers. Thank you

    I'd still be interested in what that icon is if you ever see it again.

  • I used Software Update and after installing the items and restarting my computer, I now have a white margin about 1" wide on the left side of my screen and can't get rid of it.

    I updated by software by using Software Update.  iWork, Java, Remote Desktop, iDVD, iWeb, Mac OSX and iTunes were updated. After restarting my computer I now have a white, 1" margin on the left side of my screen and a 1" black margin on the right side of my screen.  I tried changing the Display and it didn't work.

  • Recently, whenever a pop window opens with a prompt the window has a tab, so I have to resize the window in order to click on the action "enter" or "save". How can I get rid of this?

    I'm a blogger and I use a web based text editor and when I input photos I have to click on a button that opens a popup where I put in the URL of the photo and have to hit "ok". In the last few weeks the pop up windows now automatically have a tab and I have to expand the window (resize) in order to click "ok". Considering that it only adds the tab AFTER I press paste/ctrl-v is so annoying and time consuming. It never used to do this before - what happened?
    This started around the time I installed stumbleupon toolbar but I'm not sure if they're related. I took the toolbar off my default browser window and it doesn't show up on the popups. But just thought I'd give that info in case it's causing it somehow?
    I don't know how to fix this :(

    You get an alert about resending POST data if you go back to a page that was previously requested from the server by submitting form data via a POST form.<br />
    Firefox can only make sure to get the same page by resending that POST form.<br />
    Firefox doesn't know what that form data means, so Firefox asks for confirmation before resending that form data as such an action can cause you to repeat an action and buy another item or post a message another time.<br />
    A way to prevent that pop-up is not to use the Back button, but to open links from a page that was requested from a server by sending a POST form in a new tab (window) with a middle-click or a Ctrl + left-click.<br />
    Then you can close that tab or window to go back.<br />

  • Where did the little "flashing pumpkin" on the bottom toolbar come from and how can I get rid of it?

    On the bottom toolbar, right hand side, next to my incredimail icon, recently appeared a little "flashing pumpkin". I have not clicked on it because I don't know where it came from or why it is there and do not want to risk getting a virus. When you hover over it with the mouse, it says "Happy Halloween" in the dialog box that appears above it. If you right click on it, the only options are "Open Message" or "Leave it"?

    from the information you provided i can't tell if it is a hardware problem or a software problem. I do have an idea though, try to press your home button and lock button at the same time.
