Why do these red boxes surrounding my apps keep appearing?

these random red boxes keep going down then up sarounding my apps why are they doing that?

Looks like you have some accessibility setting turned on. Not sure which one. Can't seem to find it on any of the settings.
Have you tried resetting the phone?  Hold down the Home and Sleep/Power buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore any slider that may appear.

  • I have these black boxes surrounding things, e.g., there is a black box around the red "close" button on the upper left corner of this page.  There is also an oblong black box

    Hi - I'm not only having trouble waking up my MBP from sleep and having to restart repeatedly which is a pain in itself, but now when it restarted, I have these black boxes surrounding things, e.g., there is a black box around the red "close" button on the upper left corner of this page.  There is also an oblong resizable black box sitting on top of anything.  The content changes depending on the actions I take.  Right now it says, "You are currently on a close button.  To click this button, which closes the current window, press Control-Option-Space."  Right now I'm open in Firefox, but it doesn't matter if only Finder is open, it's still there.  I've tried closing all my applications and restarting and I also reset the PRAM.  It won't go away.  It's probably something simple, but I don't know how to get rid of it.  Any suggestions are welcome.
    Thanks,
    Janet

    Thanks so much.  I saw this on "desktop strangeness" immediately after I posted and tried to retract my question.  It worked perfectly.  I'm not sure how VoiceOver got turned on unless something happened when I was trying to wake up the computer.  I open the lid and it flashes whatever is open and then the screen goes black and I can't wake it up.  Still looking for the resolution to this.

  • Deleted apps keep appearing on my iPad. Why?

    My iPad randomly installed old deleted apps. I didn't chang any settings. I have iTunes set to manually manage content and to Wi-Fi sync so I can drag and drop over my network. I restored the iPad and after restoring from the cloud, the old apps came back again! What might be the issue?
    Thanks!

    Try a Restart.  Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.   
    Resetting your settings You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again. 
    Resetting your device Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it. 
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.   Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.    http://www.apple.com/contact/

  • App keeps appearing in updates

    There is an app that keeps appearing in updates regardless of whether I update it, delete it, reboot iTunes or my Mac. This has been going on for a while now and that app is there every time I check. I can update all and then there it is in my updates. I have deleted the file from my iOS devices and from my hard drive and there it is in app updates.
    How do I get this to stop?
    iTunes 12 on Yosemite.

    Okay, I am sorry I said anything. Now the "Update All" button is greyed out and I have to update my apps one at a time. At least I can skip that one app now...
    Is there no one out there that can help?

  • Redaction issue - retaining red boxes on original documents

    We have recently upgraded to Adobe XI. When using the redaction feature, previous versions of Adobe allowed viewing the suggested redaction boxes on the original document after redaction is applied and becomes a fully redacted black boxed document. It is necessary for us to see these red box suggestions on the original document. Is there a setting that I’ve failed to activate in preferences or properties? Or is this just not an option through the redaction feature any more?

    Hi Cubbie ,
    Thank You for posting on the forums. Kindly attach the screenshot of what are trying to explain for a better understanding of the issue.
    Thanks,

  • How come although iPads are getting more powerful, the iOS apps from apple are so mediocre and just not that great? We spend all this money for the latest ipad and all we get is these $5 video and music apps from apple. Why create the iOS platform and onl

    How come although iPads are getting more powerful, the iOS apps from apple are so mediocre and just not that great? We spend all this money for the latest ipad and all we get is these $5 video and music apps from apple. Why create the iOS platform and only offer so so apps like IMovie and GarageBand ? While other developers are offering much better apps like pinnacle studio for video, Cubasis and Auria for music production, apple has not showed much growth in terms of innovation. While there's nothing wrong with making an app like GarageBand where "anyone " can make a song, how about something for real musicians or an app not so basic as it get for video editing? After spending 0ver $700 on an ipad I'd be willing to spend more than $5 for a better video or audio app.

    First, try a system reset although I can't give you any confidence.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • Itouch will not respond to single touch or scroll touch.  I have to double touch the app that has a white box surrounding it.  How do I change it back to single touch and scroll?

    My son's touch is not resonding to a single touch nor repsonding to a scroll (i cannot go to the next page). there is now a white outlined box around a app that you have to double click on to do anything.  How do I get rid of the box and go back to single touch and scroll?

    Head to Settings -> General - > Accessibillity and make sure VoiceOver is turned off. You'll have to double tap each of these to proceed.  You'll also need to use 3 fingers to scroll as well.

  • The box {cannot use app in safe mode} would you like to temporarily switch, I press continue and it goes to please log in, and these two boxs go back and forth not allowing me to continue the game like farmville etc.

    the dialogue box says {we cannot continue with this app in a secure mode. Would you like to temporarily disable to an unsecured mode and you will be able to use the app at your next log in.} I push the "Continue" button, not the cancel button and it tells me to {Please log in, you are not logged in}. I will then log in and the original window as mentioned above comes back again. These two boxes go back and forth when I try to continue in any of the games on Facebook.

    Hi thanks for all the concern and replies. I've tried all that.
    I had just got it back from the shop last Friday. It was there for around two weeks. It was a faulty GPU (when you see garbled display that's consisten when booting it the GPU). I have a strong feeling it's related to the Lion install 10.7 or 10.7.1 and may be similar to reports of Mac laptops overheating. It's good the GPU is removable, it might have taken 3 week or a month if it had been the whole board.
    It's a blessing in disguise though as with all or most cases because I also got to have the LCD replaced for excessive backlight bleeding (in my opinion), the dead pixel from the previous LCD isn't there anymore (though under the glass there're some smudges but nothing crucial). The backlight bleeding is still the same though in my opinion but at least it's new.
    It's a great thing I bought Applecare. I didn't buy it for the iPhone because that's more durable (my iPhone 3G's 3 years old now and it's still solid. Although there are scratches and a crack at the back at the bottom, got sqeezed under the table I think when I sat). I think Applecare is a good recommend for things that get hot like desktop and laptop Macs(are the iOS considered Macs btw?) which are twice or thrice the price of iOS devices.
    Gbu.

  • Why, when I sync my iPhone does it always take all my apps out of their neat sorted little boxes of twelve Apps organised by a commonality and rearrange them over a dozen screens in random order? Each time I sync, I have a 1hr long task of relocating apps

    Why, when I sync my iPhone does it always take all my apps out of their neat sorted little boxes of twelve Apps organised by a commonality and rearrange them over a dozen screens in random order? Each time I sync, I have a 1hr long task of relocating apps.
    Why no tleave them spread out I hear you ask... That is not practicable. I then have 12 pages to scan rather than just two. I need a solution... :-P

    I realize this is an old thread but I'm having the same problem after upgrading my software today. Kinda surprised there are no solutions at all with 88 views.  I have an iPod touch btw, not an iPhone, but it prob wouldn't make much difference in this case.
    The thing is, I get the screen(s) looking EXACTLY as I want on iTunes...just perfect (which is what I believe everyone else is experiencing as well).  When we go to sync tho, it does whatever it wants to do.  After syncing, all the apps are there, it's just that for me, it puts them in some type of random order.  I have 72 apps and this is absolutely ridiculous!
    Thanks in advance for any fixes anyone might have...

  • How to remove these icons in the red box, and Merge the two rows into 1?

    1. How may one remove these icons in the red box?
    2. How may one coalesce/merge the two bottom rows into one row?
    I'm running a French version of Adobe Acrobat XI version 11.0.0.

    I'm working in AA9, but it may be the same.
    The icons are in Tool Groups. The Groups are seperated by the verticle bars.
    Right Click within a toolbar group to avail options for enabling and disabling tools within a Group.
    The bars themselves can be selected with the mouse and dragged to re-order the groups.

  • My USB Super Drive will not Play Red Box DVDs, Why?

    Can anyone explain why my USB super drive will not play RedBox DVDs?

    What Mac are you using with the USB SuperDrive?
    Is this USB SuperDrive a third party drive or Apple's USB SuperDrive?
    If this optical drive is Apple's own external USB SuperDrive, this only works with newer Macs that have no built-in optical drive any longer and WILL NOT work with older Macs that came with built-in optical drives.
    Is the Red Box DVD a standard DVD or Blu-Ray DVD disc?
