What's with this weird floating box on my screen spelling out everything I'm doing? How can I make it go away?

A floating box has suddenly appeared on the lower left of my screen with white text on a black background telling me about whatever my cursor is hovering over at any given moment. It's driving me nuts. I'm sure it must be part of Help or Info, and it probably just takes a simple keystroke to get rid of it, but I can't seem to find that blasted keystroke!! Please help. [OS X 10.8.4; Mac Pro]

when i try to make icloud account on my iphone this massage show "this device is no longer eligible for creating a free i cloud account" how can i make my icloud accout on this device

Can anyone from Apple answer this question? I want to sell my ipod touch but it shows up as "This device is no longer eligible for creating a free iCloud account". What do I do? Can I go to the Apple store and request that they delet all accounts associated with the ipod? Is that possible? Help!!! Really frustrated at Apple right now.

The new Firefox opens all the old tabs it closed with, when it starts. I'd rather just start a new session. How can I make that the default setting?

The new Firefox re-opens all the tabs it closed with; and, I'd rather just start a new session, as the default setting. How can I do this? It would make it easier on me, the machine, and the Internet feed, not to reload automatically a bunch of tabs that were just closed. There must be someway to fix this. This happens on my brother's Windows computer, as well; and, it's running Firefox 4. Thanks for your help.

Make that "Firefox ->Preferences -> General -> When Firefox starts: "Show my windows and tabs from last time" is not selected as this is not the default.
Basically this setting will make Firefox start with whatever windows and tabs that were last open when a user closes Firefox by way of File ->Quit/Exit as if Firefox was never closed.

Albums with multiple artists do not show up as one album in my library. How can I make them do this WITHOUT having to put all such albums in a playlist so they actually play properly?

Basically, I just got the Matrix Reloaded album off a friend of mine.
The album itself is comprised of multiple contributing artists.
Now, in any other media player, it would happily declare the album to be the product of Various Artists and leave it at that.
iTunes, on the other hand, seems to think I need one album titled "Matrix Reloaded" for every single artist who contributed, which not only looks hideous (I have enough trouble navigating the "Albums" page as is since it's not in any kind of alphabetical order) but also makes it a pain if I just want to put the album on to play and do something else.
The same thing occurs with another album, one of the Red vs Blue soundtracks by Jeff Williams; two of the songs in it are from "Jeff Williams & Steve Goldshein" which iTunes seems to think merits a whole seperate album which is entirely redundant.
At the moment I'm getting by through somewhat-length creation of playlists so I can actually listen to albums with the tracks where they're meant to be, but this should not even be necessary in the first place.
All my music currently is from when I made the jump from WMP after buying an iPod Touch, none of it was actually bought through iTunes.

Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix things. For compilations of tracks by different artists set the album artist to Various Artists and also set Part of a compilation to Yes on the Options tab.
For deeper problems see Grouping tracks into albums.

After I got connected with quickbooks online, quickbooks is always open in the left third of my screen. I cannot close it separately from firefox. This does not happen in Internet Explorer. How can I make it go away?

Everything was fine until I tried quickbooks online. Then, suddenly, I have the quickbooks site as an add-on no matter which other site I am visiting. I cannot close it unless I close the mozilla window completely.

If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

When I take a picture with my iPod touch 5G they do not come out as 4 inch pictures, how do I make it so the camera takes fitted pictures?

When I take a picture with my back camera the pictures have black bars on the top and bottom. They do not come out 4 inches. How do I fix this?

Because the screen aspect ratio is different that the camera aspect ratio. The only way it could fill the screen vertically would be either to stretch/distort the photos vertically or to cut off some of the photos on the sides.

Keep using it untill it powers off, then charge it to full to re-calibrate the battery.
If problem persist, maybe your battery needs to be replaced.

An index of my desktop files appears in firefox. why is it there? does this mean my personal files are accessible from the internet? how can i make sure this goes away and stops?

i am seeing and index of my personal files on firefox. what is this? why is it there? how can i make it go away? does this mean my desktop files are on the internet? can someone explain clearly and simply (i am not tech saavy at all) thank you

This issue can be caused by an old bitmap version of the Helvetica or Geneva font or (bitmap) fonts that Firefox can't display in that size.
Firefox can't display some old bitmap fonts in a larger size and displays gibberish instead.
You can test that by zooming out (View > Zoom > Zoom Out, Ctrl -) to make the text smaller.
Uninstall (remove) all variants of that not working font to make Firefox use another font or see if you can find a True type version that doesn't show the problem.
There have also been fonts with a Chinese name reported that identify themselves as Helvetica, so check that as well.
Use this test to see if the Helvetica font is causing it (Copy & Paste the code in the location bar and press Enter):
<pre><nowiki>data:text/html,
Helvetica abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ 
Helvetica Neue abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
</nowiki></pre>
You should reset the network.http prefs that show user set on the about:config page. 
Not all websites support http pipelining and if they do not then you can have issues with images or other problems.

How can I make the annotation box show in the printed word version on the pages app?

I want to insert annotation box on the side of the text. But I found that i cannot do that, and the annotation box disappear on the printed version of my document. How can I make that appear on my printed verison? Thank you!

You are referring to Comments and Apple has removed the old method from Pages 5.
If it is important to you go back to using Pages '09 which should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.

EZ100 16gb what's with this thing????

%[ Okay, bought one of these the other day to replace my iPod 4gb nano, not that there was anything wrong with it, I just want a new player with bigger storage capacity and I went for the Mozaic EZ00 because Argos were selling it for ?69. So, I get it home, charged it up, updated it to the latest firmware and then piled on the music. This is were it seems to go so wrong!!! I'm not impressed at all with the sound quality of this thing, and I was using my expensi've in ear earphones, also the quality of photos and album art is just atrocious, and this is the killer punch...it just keeps on sticking and skipping during playback of every single track!!! I went into recovery mode, did a disc clean up, even reformatted it and again put the music on only this time it only plays the tracks fine when the unit is locked!!!! So, what's with this thing?? This is my first experience of a Creative product and I fear it may be the last, not impressed, will be taking it back to Argos. Anyone else had similar problems?

(seasons) greetings all!
so out of the blue I get a nano for Christmas (it's blue ;-)) and the person who bought it is in windows but new I ran mac.
unfortunataly he did not know i needed a mac newer than my 3 year old ibook. after years of hearing my boasts of superior macs i hesitate to tell him i cannot use my new gift until i buy a new ibook/macbook... whatever.
i don't really have a question for this post but just wanted to add my comments. what a scam that to get the latest in a music listening gadget your get sucked into the itunes 7 mandantory hence osx.3 mandantory hence your 3 year old still viable and beloved ibook is impotent.
can't believe this may force me to buy a new laptop when there is no other reason. mac products should not have a lifetime of just a few years.
hope everyone else can enjoy their wonderful new mac holiday gifts... i cannot

Why does your date_format loose, ununify and not fix ?
And what is your exact requirement?

What wrong with this?

I have a video that has sound, I brought it into afteraffects, made a composition and made some changes. I exported the composition (rendered it) for quick time to edit in photoshop - the video is about 7 minutes.
Playing the video there is no sound....why?
Bringing the video into photoshop for editing with content aware fill creates 500+ frames......is that normal?
also whats the easiest way to move between aftereffects and photoshop in terms of editing frames? can I make changes in photoshop and watch it update in after effects?

What wrong with this?
Everything! Sorry, it's simply the most ill-conceived workflow I could imagine.

Yes. All video editing in PS is limited to 500 or 1000 frames, repsectively. There is no way to extend that range. Read the PS help!
also whats the easiest way to move between aftereffects and photoshop in terms of editing frames?
You don't. What you have in mind won't work, anyways. Content Aware Fill only works per frame and has no temporal stabilization, so each frame will have a different pattern and the resulting animation would flicker and wobble.

That's what use File --> Reload Footage for or simply close and reopen the project.
