Why do I have dehighlighted icons on my Ipad and how do I get rid of them?

I now have dehighlighted icons (ones that had been there before but were normal/not dehighlighted).They just seemed to have this change when I powered up my Ipad today. Please help me. Thanks.

Thank you Connecticut (Lizdance40) for responding so very, very fast. Wish I was in the position to help others like that, maybe some day. At least I know now what it might be. Have tapped one of the icons and it is now "waiting". Will wait and see if it changes to a different/normal look and if it does (after updating or restoring) I will do the same to the rest of them. Thanks again!! for the help.

I have these black boxes around all the images i add. why are they there and how do i get rid of them?

i have black boxes around all the images i bring into pages. why are they there and how can i get rid of them?

Pages rememebers the last setting you used on images.
So if you had a border on the last image the next one you bring in will have one too.
To change that select:
Inspector > Graphic > Stroke > None
Spend a little time exploring the menus and particularly the Toolbar and Inspectors whcih are in reasonably logical progression from big things down to smaller details and clearly labeled.
It is also possible that you have show Layout on which outlines objects on th screen so you can see what's what. To change that:
Menu > View > Hide Layout

A misleading and malicious popup. Launch Safari with the Shift key held down; if that doesn't work, temporarily disconnect the computer from the Internet.

This happens with you are both syncing data such as contacts on your devices with the same iCloud account. This will result in the data being merged and synced back to all connected devices. To correct this you need to have different iCloud accounts on each device.
To do this, on the device that will be changing iCloud accounts go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone. After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from the phone, not from iCloud, so the other phone won't be effected by this.) Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different ID, then turn data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to your new account. At this point you will have two separate iCloud accounts on each phone with identical data.
Next, you'll have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and delete the unwanted data (for example, deleting her contacts from your iCloud account and vice versa). These changes will be reflected on each device and things should now be fixed.

InstaLLING FORGET LEFT 96 ICONS ON MY TOOLBAR. HOW DO I GET RID OF THEM

I clicked the forget option on the Firefox update and now i ave 3 rows deep of 32 icons on my firefox toolbar. Why and how do I get rind of them or else uninstall the forget function? I have a screen shot but can't see where to add it to this question.

Hello Wnedy2,
It looks like you may have a theme installed that's interfering with Firefox. When several themes are installed, you can switch to another theme as follows:
#Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and choose Add-ons.
#Switch to the ''Appearance'' tab. You should find your previously used personas in the list.
#Click the ''Enable'' button next to the 'Default' theme.
To uninstall the other ones, you can click the Remove button on them and they'll be uninstalled instantly.
For more information about Firefox themes, see the article [[Use themes to change the look of Firefox]].

IOS said I have a virus on my iPad mini how do I get rid of it

iiOS said I have a virus how do I get rid of this virus ? And what app do I need ?

I hate to disagree with all of you who are saying there is no such thing as that. I have trying for the past 2 hours to fix my mom's ipad. Everytime she goes on Safari and opens clicks on a link. it launches another window for "
adexchange.com"
and few more windows open, and eventually it launches the App Store to purchase something.
It is real. and I have cleared the cache and blocked the pop-ups. I would have attached the screenshots but there is not way to do that.

When I migrated the contents of my iMac to my new MacBook Pro (both running Lion), I ended up with duplicate icons in the launchpad. How do I get rid of them?

When I used migration Assistant to transfer stuff from my iMac to my MacBook Pro, both running the latest update of Lion, I ended up with duplicate icons in the Launchpad. How do I correct this situation. Some can be deleted using the iPad method of holding down an icon until they all jiggle and then clicking the "X" to delete. However, most do not have x's appear next to them. Otherwise, the migration seemed to go okay.

Launchpad will display an icon for each copy of an application that is currently installed (as well as any aliases to those applications), so you will see more than one icon for an application if you have more than one version of the application installed or aliased. So did you create any aliases of these apps on your old computer? If so, delete them.

Why do I have grey 'Mac' window bars when a document is floating, and how do I get rid of them?

This is really annoying, as I'm used to working with the new black 'tabbed' look, but I find my PS now looks like this screen grab. How do I switch back to the black tabbed look for floating windows, rather than the Mac traffic lights?

I have Photoshop CC 2014 in Yosemite as well.
If your Interface Preferences have "Open Documents in Tabbed Windows" checkmarked, it should do that without fail unless you uncheck the Application Frame ((under Window menu in PS) in which case documents open in Windows.
Floating document windows will always have the gray bar, no matter the Color Theme you choose in Photoshop unlike Windows 7.
However if you go in Mac System Preference > General and choose "Graphite" under appearance, it will turn off the "traffic light" look and leave you with gray/white window control buttons.
If you minimize Photoshop in Windows, both PS and the Document Window will minimize, but in the Mac version, you can independently minimize the document window and the PS app. As far as I can see, there is nothing malfunctioning. Each OS has its' own way.

How do you no if you have a virus or been hacked and how do you get rid of it

A couple of time now I have found my found on randon web pages or message is it possible i have been hacked or got a virus

Finding a strange site open in Safari isn't a conclusive sign that someone has hacked your iCloud account. You could simply be seeing redirects or "pop-ups" from some page you had loaded. This could easily cause tabs that you didn't realize were there to be noticed later.
Similarly, finding that you have received strange messages in the Messages app isn't suspicious. That just means someone is text-spamming you. You can block the individual doing this if you're running iOS 7.
However, if you are finding that your phone appears to be sending messages that you haven't sent, and has opened pages when all tabs in Safari were closed, then the iCloud account has been hacked.
If your iCloud account is also your Apple ID, and you think you have been hacked, you will need to immediately log in to appleid.apple.com and change your Apple ID password. While you are there, you should also enable two-factor authentication on your Apple ID, to prevent hackers from taking control of it, and potentially locking you out of your iOS devices permanently.

Why are these files showing? and how do i get rid/hide them?

can anyone tell me a fix to hide these greyed/faded out files and folders? they are littered around EVERYWHERE on my mac, even in my external hard drive. Also, why is there a file called .DS_Store on my desktop? i've tried putting it in the trash and emptying it but it just appears again! thanks in advance.

1. Open the AppleScript Editor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and run the following:
tell application "Finder" to quit
if (do shell script "defaults read com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles") is "1" then
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 0"
else
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1"
end if
delay 2
tell application "Finder" to run
If you change your mind later, run the script again.
2. To store the metadata associated with items on the desktop.

I have a small icon at the top right of my iphone 4G right to the left of the battery percent. What is this and how do I get rid of it? It looks like a lock with a circle 3/4 of the way around it

That icon indicates your iPhone is rotation locked.
To remove it, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open Control Center. Tap the similar looking icon there to turn it off.

Why do i have so much other on my phone and how do i get rid of it

why do i have so much other on my phone and how do i get rid of it

Other is usually around 1 GB...
A ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
First Try a Restore from Backup... But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup... Then a Restore as New is the way to go...
