In my updated Pages 5.2, when I click on a specific shape to manipulate it, all the other shapes on the page have blue boxes around them. I cannot grab and work with one shape easily. Why?

I have a mac OS X, version 10.9.3 with Pages 5.2 (1860). When I create several shapes or text boxes on the page and try to click on just one, a blue box surrounds every item on the page so I can't edit the one specific item. Why?

Hello betsywetsy
It sounds to me like you have the shapes grouped together. Select them and either look in the Arrange pane of the Format inspector and towards the bottom you should see a Group and Ungroup button. Also you go to the drop down menu Arrange > Ungroup to do the same effect.

You appear to have the VoiceOver Accesibility feature turned on.
Try triple clicking the Home button and then going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turning all the Accessibility feature off. If problem see:

The hyperlinks in my pdf all have a blue shaded box around them when viewing in adobe reader.

The hyperlinks in my pdf all have a blue shaded box around them when viewing in adobe reader. How can I get rid of these? Why is this happening? The pdf was created from a presentation in powerpoint and uses the links for some interactivity.

That's a great feature request. I'd like the ability to turn off the blue boxes over hyperlinks as well.

Programmatically generated hyperlinks in PDF now have boxes around them (v. 10.1.4)

Hi
I wonder if anyone has encountered this problem which only appeared in version 10.1.4 of both the Reader and Acrobat and if so, have you found a solution/workaround?
Hyperlinks that are generated programmatically now have visible borders around them which can't be turned off. Our company uses a specialist programme to generate PDF publications from XML. Since Adobe has released the new 10.1.4 update, all the hyperlinks originally created in XML and converted to PDF are encapsulated in a box. This does not apply to manual links. My (personal) solution was to downgrade the Reader to 10.1.3 and Acrobat to 10.0.0 (because that was when the back button last worked properly and I use that all the time), but we cannot advise our customers to do the same - downgrading is not exactly a breeze. I view this as a bug or oversignt on Adobe's part and I really hope the next update will address this issue. If anyone has found a solution, please share it. Thank you.

Oh, I didn’t realise that, sorry!
OK, I’ve attached two pages extracted from one of our publications. If you open the file in Reader 10.1.4 you will see a mixture of links with borders and without borders – the ones without were done by hand and you can actually go into properties and change them. The other ones don’t let you access the properties because they are created by our system (called CLS). The links with visible borders still work, so it’s only a question of aesthetics. Only one link (3.4) in the attached PDF will work because it’s taking you to a place inside this very same document; the others were disabled during extraction.
I can provide a bigger file, if you think it’s any help.

Any suggestions what has gone wrong here and how I can fix it?

Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and the support article linked below for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them, then boot in safe mode* (by holding down the shift key at the startup chime) to rebuild the font caches. Boot again as usual and test.

Placed .tiff files in illustrator have box around them.

I am wondering how to properly place .tiff files in illustrator, so that they can easily be set up for commercial printing. I have created a simple sell sheet for a product that has 3 placed tiff images in it. The images are circular and appear fine on screen. However, when printed, the images have a slightly darker box around them. The images were created in photoshop, and i'm wondering if i needed to use a clipping mask or perhaps another format for the images to maintain the transparency. Should i rasterize the images, embed, or keep linked? Any help would be great!

I am getting a dark line around psd images (they have clipping paths) which I place into illustrator. Everything looks fine in illustrator, but when I save the AI file with pdf compatibility and open it in photoshop, there is a dark line around the images. My solution was to save the bubble as a tiff file (there is an option to save with transparency), and then place the new file into AI. It seems to work soo-far. After I placed the attachments into this forum, I realized that they are too small to see the black lines around the bubbles.)

How do I redeem an iTunes code that does not have a box around it?

iI bought an iTunes gift and they received the email but it does not have a box around the code and they can't find a way to redeem it.

Howdy Roy,
It sounds to me like you have purchased an iTunes Gift Card and you’re having an issue redeeming it. I have linked to an article that may help in this situation:
If you can't redeem your iTunes Gift Card or code - Apple Support
Contact iTunes Store Support
If the code is completely scratched off or you still can't redeem your gift card, contact iTunes Support:
Go to the iTunes Store support page and choose your country.
From the menu on the left, choose Contact Support.
Click Contact iTunes Store Support.
Follow the instructions.
iTunes Store Support might ask you to send these things:

Why is my computer displaying A's with boxes around them instead of words?

A's with boxes around them??

Everywhere on my desktop where there is supposed to be text there are A's with boxes around them. This is the same when I click on the finder...instead of having things like My Documents it has nothing but A's with boxes around them. I have a print screen picture of it but don't know how to post it on here.

Welcome!
Please look at this post in the Tiger forums:

This problem has come up before but is usually asked in the Mac OS forums. If you need help with any of the suggestions, post back.

Hyperlinks show up with a box around them in Pages 2 PDF's.

I am excited that web links now show up as hyperlinks. However, when I export a .pdf of the document, the hyperlinks end up with a box around them that makes them unreadable.
Any idea how to get rid of the box. It doesn't show up in the original document. Only when you view invisibles.

Dennis,
you are right with your thought. I am thankful for every info to get better in every way. The posts in the Pages Discussions are easy to understand and so it should be. Wow, I can tell you, that this is very different to some 3D forums.
After I know how to start the English version of Pages (thank you Matthias, this was a very good advice), I think most people can follow my explanations better, without the time of waiting for your title translations

My iMac PPC has little A's with boxes around them instead of text?

After my son's visit from NYC my iMac PPC OS 10.4.11 now has A's with boxes around them instead of usual names across the top of the screen. No more File Edit etc across the top of the screen?

That's usually caused by a third-party font manager competing with FontBook. Check the links in this old thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15900552#15900552
And speak sternly to your son if he installed a font manager

Slideshow captions appear to have boxes around them when viewed on mobile devices

Hi... I searched for this problem but couldn't find a reference - appologies if I didn't quite use the right search terms and it's already been answered.
I am having problems with a basic slideshow widget - when viewed on a PC (iMac in this instance) the image captions, counter and navigation buttons do NOT have any visible borders (I haven't stroked or filled the container boxes, other than the nav buttons). However, view the same slideshow on an iPad, or iPhone and there appears to be boxes around the caption, counter and nav buttons. I would prefer there to be no visible box outlines.
The problem page can be viewed here (remember, fine on a PC, not fine on a mobile device)
http://mikehiggs.co.uk/musesite/case-studies.html
There are two slide shows on the page as I tried two different widgets - both have the same problem.
The odd thing is, I used the same method on the Home Page slideshow at the top of the page and this is working fine.
If anyone can shed any light on this 'problem' I'd very much appreciate it - I have tried everything I know at this stage.
Thanks in advance of any help.
Addendum...
If I change the slideshow transitions from 'horizontal' to 'fade' the problem goes away. But I would prefer the slideshow to slide.
Just thought this extra info may help diagnose the problem.
