Curious sound in Safari while mousing over bookmarks bar

I noticed it today at about 1:55 am: whenever my mouse entered the space over either of 2 buttons in the bookmarks bar that happened to be for FOLDERS, the computer played a short sound. It's pitch was C3 and it could best be described as a "saw hit". It was none of the system beeps. It did not occur consistently, but maybe in about 2/3 - 3/4 of the times. The site I was reading happened to be an article on Beliefnet. I never pressed the folder buttons to see what would happen (because I was trying to figure out the pattern first). It did not occur over any of the buttons that were straight LINKS. After 1:57 it never happened again. (going back to Beliefnet later had no effect either).
I have 10.4.6, Safari is Version 2.0.3 (417.9.2)
Anyone has any idea what was going on?
Cube, 2 ibooks   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

No, it stopped happening after the said time completely. It occurred only over the 2 buttons that were folders.
I don't think it had to do with the site I was on.
I got the feeling that it was either some "easter egg" type thing or some virus or something like that, i.e. a code that is activated by some constellation of things. I never heard that sound before or after, however it could be a GarageBand sound - but then how/why would it be activated in Safari?
A mystery to me.
BTW, I meant to write "its pitch" and not "it's pitch".

  • Keyboard shortcuts not working while mouse over title-bar

    most of the time, while mouse is over the top title bar, keyboard shortcuts (like Ctrl+W, Ctrl+T, Alt+D) are not working.
    This is a strange behaviour that happens only after i migrated to linux (ubuntu 10.10)
    Sometimes, after i try the shortcuts a few times, on middle of the screen also, then suddenly it works also when the mouse is on the title bar. It's pretty strange...

    Well, that's not the case here.
    I tried to focus on text field, and the keyboard shortcuts does work, so that's obviously not the case here.
    Sometimes the address bar is selected and i can write there, but when the mouse go over the top title, it suddenly stops reacting.
    And the Alt+D and Ctrl+T are not working doesn't matter if a text field is selected.
    BTW, sometimes it does work, it almost seems like an intermittent problem.

  • Creating a popup on mouse over in bar graph

    Hi,
    I want to create a popup using mouse over event on bar graph but I didn't find corresponding property in the property inspector. Is it possible to display a popup on mouse over in bar graph?
    At present I am able to create a popup in the backing bean based on click event. I want to align it to the bar in the graph which was clicked. But now, it is being aligned to the bar graph as a whole(like above the graph , below the graph) when I use "RichPopup.PopupHints.HintTypes.HINT_ALIGN_ID, source". Is there a way to align it to the particular bar?
    Any help is greatly appreciated
    Thank you,
    KK

    Hi,
    don't think you can align it to an area within a component. The align id property expects a component reference. Note that mouse over on a bar graph doesn't select the bar, which means that the data in the binding layer is not set to current (just in case that the data in the popup is meant to be dependent)

  • Safari hover over bookmarks bar

    I am running OS X 10.10.2 on my 2014 Retina Macbook Pro. I have a question regarding the bookmarks bar in Safari. Is there any way to make the bookmarks bar appear only when I hover over it? Currently, I can only enable and disable it using shift + command+ b.

    Not unless there's a third-party add-on that does that.

  • How to see document file name with full path when hovering mouse over title bar?

    Using PS CS6, Windows 7 x64.
    I was under the impression that when hovering my mouse over the document title bar, I would see a tooltip showing the full file name, including the path.  This isn't happening and I'm wondering if there is a way to do this.  I know I can click File > Save As, or Ctrl+Shift-S to see the full path, but hoving over the title bar would be easier.  (What I am seeing now in the tooltip is the file name, % magnification and which layer I have selected.  Basically, the tooltip is just showing what's in the title bar without hovering.)
    Thank you!

    Hm, I wonder if it's something they may have enabled only for the Cloud version (I have 13.1.2).  If so, I didn't notice the change at the time of the upgrade.
    Nope, it's not that - I have a virtual machine for testing with 13.0.1 installed...  This is what I see there:

  • No FF button, no taskbar, must mouse over menu bar to see, Blekko search bar missing.

    Firefox button suddenly missing. Taskbar missing, reappears when Windows button on keyboard pushed, then disappears after performing desired task (like adjusting computer volume). Menu bar missing, reappears when moused over, but no Firefox button or Blekko searchbar, just address bar, reload button, home, favorites, add to favorites button.

    Firefox might be stuck in Full Screen mode. Use the F11 key to switch between full screen and normal modes.

  • Safari reverted to old bookmarks bar -- where is current bookmarks bar?

    Genius bar did an archival install of mountain lion after I had 2 hard drive replacements. Current bookmarks bar was installed.  Safari crashed and now have very old bookmarks bar showing.  Where is my newest bookmarks bar?

    What backups do you have?

  • Safari 6.0 ruins bookmark bar?

    I loved the ease of the bookmarks bar -- I just clicked and went to the site. Now, with 6.0, I have to be really careful, because a name-change dialog starts when I click the name. Is there a way to turn this off? It is annoying, and I suspect that people *rarely* want to change the names; they just want to use the bar without thinking about.
    Apple, please return us to elegance! This is one of several inconveniences that have been introduced.

    In the middle of the bottom edge of the black area in the bookmarks window, there's a "grab handle" represented by three short, faint horizontal lines. When you move the cursor there, it changes to a hand. Click and drag the grab handle upward.

  • While Mouse Over

    Hi,
    I've been trying to figure this out for days now and am finally asking for help.
    I have a row of thumbnails with arrow on either side.  The thumbnails are animated and masked to created a scrolling effect.  What I want to do is have that animation play forward or backward when the mouse is over one arrow or the other.  I've been able to do the effect I want with Event.ENTER _FRAME and then calling that function with an if statment based on mouse position > or < a given value to go the next frame or the previous frame. When I do that it keeps going to the next frame or previouse frame as long as the if statment is true.  The problem is I want to do this with MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, but when I do that it just goes one frame and doesn't continue to do so until I take the mouse off and put it over the arrow again.  Is there a way to say that while the mouse is over the arrow to keep going to the next or previous frame. Below is the code I have.
    rtthumb.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, rtscroll, false,0,true);
    lftthumb.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, lftscroll, false,0,true);
    function rtscroll(e:MouseEvent) :void{
            nextFrame();
    function lftscroll(e:MouseEvent) :void{
             prevFrame();
    s
    I want this to continue to go to the next frame or previous frame until I take the mouse off the associated object.
    Thanks

    rtthumb.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, rtscroll, false,0,true);
    lftthumb.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, lftscroll, false,0,true);
    function rtscroll(e:MouseEvent) :void{
    addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, efFunctionRight);
    //nextFrame();
    function lftscroll(e:MouseEvent) :void{
    addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, efFunctionLeft);
    //prevFrame();
    function efFunctionRight(e:Event):void{
    nextFrame();
    function efFunctionLeft(e:Event):void{
    prevFrame();
    and repeat the process as kglad mentioned for the Mouse_Out events

  • Mouse-over pic A to make pop up pic B ...

    Hi there!
    Could need a quick solution for this, cause my (too) limited HTML knowledge doesn't help a bit ...
    I have a permanent picture A which, while mouse-over, should make picture B pop up.
    A mouse-over at picture B area (which is again invisible then) should make picture C pop up, which is on the same location as picture B.
    A mouse-down on that poped up picture C finally should perform a switch to another html page ...

    How can I manage this with Dreamweaver???

  • Mouse over and Mouse Click function

    Hi,
    I have to add a mouse over event and mouse click event in my rectangles that I draw while taking the values from an input file. Now since I am taking rectangle height and width from the input text file as well I also want to take a text value to be shown while moving a mouse over a particular rectangle from my input file. Also when he clicks on that rectangle the height and width of that particular rectangle only should be displayed (re-adjusted).
    Like suppose my input file has 3 fields:-
    Height   Width  Test_To_Show
    10          23         Hello
    20          44         ByeNow When my paint component draws these 2 rectangles and a user moves his mouse over the rectangle he should see text message attached to it:- Like for first row 10, 23 he should see "Hello". In this case when he clicks on this rectangle the picture should read just to show only 10 and 20 as height and width. Now the problem is I am confused where to add the mouse and mouse click event function.
    Some of my code looks like this in paintcomponent method:-
            for(int i=0; i<myobject.size(); i++){
                Coloring fc = myobject.get(i);
                GradientPaint gpi = new GradientPaint(0, 0,c.getColor() , 0, 20, Color.white, true);
                g2d.setPaint(gpi);
                g2d.drawRect(fc.value1, 29, fc.mywidth, 83);
                g2d.fillRect(fc.value1, 29, fc.mywidth, 83);
                                                }Where should I attach the mouse event to g2d object / fc / myobject ? I am not sure since I am using mouseover function for the first time.
    Thanks

    I am planning to add these 2 in my paint component method
                fc.addMouseMotionListener(this);
                fc.addMouseListener(this);and then create 2 functions like this :-
          public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {
                  //I will be reading from a file and then pass the string that I want to show as text while mouse over
                   String s = // takes value from the inpuf file.
                      fc.setText(s);
    public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
                 //same way reading from the file ... Not sure how I will do this one
                 }Would it be the correct way to do it ? I am doing mouse over functions for the first time so donno much about there usage.
    Thanks

  • Mouse Over Graphs and Legend

    Could this feature be included in next release?
    Allow to select separate mouse over values from the legend.   If I have long definitions for the bars in a graph - I do not want to display these same bars in the legend (there isn't room)  I would rather display numbers in the legend which refer to the bars and then have the longer text shown only when I mouse over the bars.
    Right now the legend shows the same text as the Mouse Over Values.  If I turn off the legend and only have the Mouse over Bars, then I can't use the Enable Hide/Show Chart Series at run-time feature - so I need to have both - the legend and the mouse over values.
    Thank you

  • Safari 5.1.4 renaming "Bookmarks Bar" to "BookmarksBar", causing the bookmarks bar to disappear

    After I upgraded to Safari.5.1.4, I noticed that my bookmarks bar was completely gone. I went into Show All Bookmarks, and I noticed under the BOOKMARKS heading on the left, there was a folder called "BookmarksBar" (without the space between Bookmarks and Bar). Thinking I did something wrong, I used drag and drop to move all the folders from "BookmarksBar" to "Bookmarks Bar". Once I did this, the bookmarks bar appeared correctly.
    However, after shutting down Safari and restarting, the bookmarks bar was gone again! I did a Show All Bookmarks, and the "Bookmarks Bar" folder was again renamed "BookmarksBar". It seems now that I can't maintain my bookmarks bar between Safari sessions.
    Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

    Hi...
    You mentioned both bookmarks and extensions in your orginal post on this thread >  https://discussions.apple.com/message/17872836#17872836
