    Mac is acting strangely, help!

    Posted by Zeliha Bozkurt on April 3, 2006 at 10:11 am

    Hi Everybody

    Every icon I click on in mac comes up with a box around it.

    Also the apple menu has 2 sets of shut down, to sets of Force Quit, and 2 sets of Restart options.

    Has anybody had this problem before.

    Any advice appreciated.

    Thanks

    Run the cron tasks using the terminal or a third party app. Repair permissions and restart your computer. Despite popular belief OS X does need to be restarted every so often.

    Hope that helps….

    Must have hit some kind of short cut. Thought I had some strange virus or something.

    System Preferences>Universal Access>Seeing>Voiceover:(Check)Off

    Silly me!
