Disable balloon tips?

Hi-I'm trying to disable balloon tips in my applications like Photoshop, Quark etc. I found on:
http://www.macworld.com/article/55202/2007/02/termtooltips.html
that you have to go in "Terminal" and paste a script:
defaults write -g NSInitialToolTipDelay -int 10000
It says it stalls tool tips for 10 seconds. I'm not sure if that will work in OS 10.6
And I'm not that savy with scripts to restore default settings and besides I found it effects Spotlight.
Isn't there an easier way to disable tool tips?
Thank you-j

No.

The balloon tips which appear when the cursor hovers over text has been disabled or is now a small box with no text

There is a balloon tips dialogue box that appears when the cursor hovers over text or information box. For example, if you move your cursor over an empty box while filling out a form the little box appears next to the cursor and says "Enter name."
The balloon is no long showing information or any text. The balloon pops up but is too small to have text in it. How do I turn this back on?

Try disabling the Google Toolbar extension and see if that is the cause.

PS: Working with balloon tips

I have a Powershell function that shows a balloon tip and it works fine, except for two things. First, is there a way to have my script display a message to every logged-in user?
Second, according to several blog posts (like this and this),
I should be cleaning up my icon. The sample code doesn't seem to work for me. Regardless of how I click the balloon, the icon says in place. If I hover my mouse over the icon (with or without closing the balloon), the icon disappears. Am I missing something
here?
Thanks.
Function Start-LogoffNotice {
<#
.SYNOPSIS
Displays a notice in the Windows notification area.
#>
param (
$IconPath = (Get-Process -id $pid | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Path),
[ValidateSet("Info","Warning","Error","None")]
$BalloonIcon,
$BalloonText,
$BalloonTitle,
$BalloonTimeout = "60000"
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms | Out-Null
$objNotifyIcon = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon
$objNotifyIcon.Icon = [System.Drawing.Icon]::ExtractAssociatedIcon($IconPath)
$objNotifyIcon.BalloonTipIcon = $BalloonIcon
$objNotifyIcon.BalloonTipText = $BalloonText
$objNotifyIcon.BalloonTipTitle = $BalloonTitle
$objNotifyIcon.Visible = $True
$objNotifyIcon.ShowBalloonTip($BalloonTimeout)
#This section doesn't seem to do anything.
Register-ObjectEvent -InputObject $objNotifyIcon -EventName BalloonTipClosed -Action {
Unregister-Event $objNotifyIcon.SourceIdentifier

$objNotifyIcon.Dispose()
} | Out-Null
Start-LogoffNotice -BalloonIcon "Info" -BalloonText "You will be logged off in 1 minute. Please save your work." -BalloonTitle "Logoff Notice"

Regarding your second question, you need you make sure the $objNotifyIcon.Dispose() method is being run. That's the piece that will remove the icon from the Notification Area. Perhaps you can copy it from the section that indicates it doesn't do anything
and paste it underneath $objNotifyIcon.ShowBalloonTip($BalloonTimeout). If it disposes right away, then you may need to add a Start-Sleep command between the two, such as Start-Sleep -Milliseconds $BalloonTimeout.
Edit: Rewording for clarity.

Disabling tool tips...please

Does anyone know how to disable tool tips in IE 8 or IE 7.
Tool tips get in the way of recording and make for unsightly screen captures.
I know there is a way to do it in Firefox, but so far I cant find anyway for IE 8 or IE 7.
I am suprised the Adobe people do not have any published solution for this problem.
Masking over pesky tooltips can waste many hours in development time.
Thanks,
Chris

Hi Ryan,
I just wanted to find out if you ever found the answer to your question as I have the same problem as you do!!! If not, would anyone be able to help us out?
Thanks so much!

Delay or Disable Tool Tips?

It's a minor annoyance, these tool tips. I do most of my Finder work in List view, and when a file or folder has a really long name the Finder, trying to "help" instantly pops up a tool tip with the full name. Except I don't need/want this kind of "help". It inevitably interferes with double-clicking the folder I'm looking at (since it pops up instantly and seems somehow to be between the pointer and the folder). So how the heck can I make it wait a few seconds before "helping" me? I've searched around, but I can't see if anyone else has gotten a satisfactory answer to this question.

I give up. Apple has apparently made it impossible to disable tooltips. I hope they change their minds about this in the future and choose to give their users the ability to disable tooltips.

Disabling tool tips?

Whenever I open a large number of tabs in Safari, the tool tips will randomly stop working on each tab, and then I will suddenly get tool tips blinking rapidly near the cursor, which has the effect of locking up Safari for a period that is equal to the amount of tool tips that were not initially displayed.
I don't need the tool tips to begin with, is there some way to turn them off entirely?

Harm
Thanks for the suggestion but I actually already have Windows Tips disabled (through the Windows Explorer menu). But they're still showing up in Premiere. I tell you - it's 2011 but we still can't get consitency between Adobe apps. Photoshop? Turn Off Tool Tips. After Effects? Turn Off Tool Tips. Premiere? You're stuck with 'em.
Thanks,
Marc

How to disable tool tips in JRC

Please let me know how to disable tooltip in browser for JRC

I do not think it is possible to disable tooltips with JRC.
But in RDC you can try to turn off all the tooltips for the reportobjects, including objects within the subreport with the snippet code below:
Dim i As Integer
Dim ii As Integer
Dim iii As Integer
Dim iiii As Integer
For i = 1 To Report.Sections.Count
    For ii = 1 To Report.Sections(i).ReportObjects.Count
        Report.Sections(i).ReportObjects(ii).ConditionFormula(crToolTipTextConditionFormulaType) = "chr(9)"
        If Report.Sections(i).ReportObjects(ii).Kind = crSubreportObject Then
                Set subreport = Report.OpenSubreport(Report.Sections(i).ReportObjects(ii).SubreportName)
                    For iii = 1 To subreport.Sections.Count
                        For iiii = 1 To subreport.Sections(iii).ReportObjects.Count
                            subreport.Sections(iii).ReportObjects(iiii).ConditionFormula(crToolTipTextConditionFormulaType) = "chr(9)"
                        Next iiii
                    Next iii
        End If
    Next ii
Next i

Is there any way to disable the popup message I get when I print to a PDF?

When I print to a pdf by selecting the Adobe PDF Converter as my printer, I always get a popup in my tray "Your PDF file 'document name' has been created".
This is annoying when I printing a bunch of different documents at a time. I know the PDF has been created because it opens up, so why the popup?
HOW DO I DISABLE THIS POPUP???
Help!!

If you're talking about the balloon tip that appears in the tray area, I don't know of a way to disable it for just Acrobat, but you can for all programs by modifying the registry: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307729

Is there any way to DISABLE the "could not activate cellular data network" message?

This message frequently pops up while I am using any GPS app and travelling - as I enter an area with no Data coverage it appears, forcing me to respond by touching the 'OK' button. I simply want to disable the message. I know when I'm out of a coverage area. IT'S TEMPORARY! Why do I need to respond? If I am using my phone as a GPS device while on my motorcycle, wearing gloves, I CAN'T respond!!!

Disabling Security Center options

I've found in the User Policy Package | Win XP Group Policy where you
can disable Windows Auto Updates and disable Windows Firewall. But is
there anyway to stop the Alerts from popping up saying that the firewall
or update settings are disabled? I know how to do it manually, but is
there anything on the GPO that can be pushed out?
Thanks

Multi line ballon tool tip

I have used ballon toolip, it have multiple lines to show the tool tip, but it is not working.
I have added Component in bolloon tool tip to show multi line text , but still not showing correctly.

aanu wrote:
But it not works fine.
Please suggest me the way .
THE WAY
1) Tell us what "not works fine" is supposed to mean.
2) Tell use what the hell balloon tip means. Where did you get this? How do you call it?
3) Post your code. USE FORMATTING TAGS. At least some code to give anyone a clue of what you are doing.
4) Next time post into the correct forum.
It never fails to amaze me when asked for more useful details people respond as you did here. By repeating, ad nauseum, information that was already clear but doesn't actually tell anything. Yes. We got that "it" only displays one line. But you didn't answer any of the questions asked which relate to what the hell is "it" and how the hell are you calling "it". etc.

Pop up help Tips

Hello, I am a new user of Windows 8.1, i have a problem with the pop up help tips, I don't have a tactil screen I use only mouse. How can I disable this application. Sorry for my english...

Hope you meant pop tips for first time users. Usually just follow the tutorial, quickly navigate to the next window and then it will stop once the tutorial is finished.
If not, try this method.
Press windows key + R, type gpedit.msc
On the left side, go to User Configuration -> Administrative Templates ->
Windows Components -> Edge UI. Open
Disable help tips. Select Enabled.
You should not be getting any more tips. Hope this helps.

Power management tips notifications

Hi guys,
Had my Z1 since release and loving it however one small thing that I would like to turn off is the power management tip notifications.
I regularly get several notifications at a time telling me that I haven't used the application for some time, which I can understand why it would be useful for some people but I don't need them and would like them disabled. Just want the power management 'tips' disabled if possible.
I am new to android having moved from IPhone (don't worry I'm not going back!) and checked in the power management menus and can't see anywhere to disable the tips and cannot find them in the apps menu to tick the disable notification box although wondering if they are labelled as something different in there?
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance

I can't believe this isn't an option. Sony can't really think everyone wants this message from every single app. Every morning I have about 10 of these. And there is a tick box that says OK No longer notfy, but initially tapping these, the message would accept and go away, now, tapping it does nothing since the last update. Grrr....
I just want the Power Management Tips gone! I know I haven't used an app for awhile. There may well be a good reason.
At least the_savage is not alone, and nor am I!!
Thanks guys, Colin.

MuVo N200 - A whole host of probl

Not wanting to sound cocky, but I think I can answer my own problem here before you all join in, but hey, who knows, I might be wrong. I think my N200 needs returning to Creative for some serious surgery. Here's "the list":
+ When transferring files with WMP0, a random number of files on the list to be copied will complete successfully. Then, an error message such as "The Server threw an exception" appears. According to Microsoft's Web "Help", this is because an MPEG2 video file is trying to convert and won't. Somehow, I don't think this is the case.
+ If I choose not to convert the files before transfer, it's blind faith as to whether they will all copy or not. In a sync list of 80 items, the transfer will fail seven or eight times on average. No error from media player this time, it's a windows balloon tip saying "delayed write failed". I have to remove and re-connc the muvo to continue the transfer.
+ Using MediaSource, the same error as above occurs after transferring EVERY track.
+ If, by some miracle, I manage to get the songs I want onto the muvo before dying of old age, it's the a 50/50 chance that when I unplug the muvo and switch it on, it will say "file system error", switch itself off and when re-connected will be as blank as the day it left the factory.
+ Alternati'vely, it will be fine until a random amount of time later when it will switch itself off, and then when switched back on it will give the file system error.
+ If, miraculously, it has got through the day without wiping itself, when plugged back in media player will not always be able to remove old songs from the player, and will therefore declare it to be full after copying just track onto it.
Now, before you all jump up, let me just explain the following:
I have ALL the latest drivers, firmware, updates and widgets for Windows, Media Player, MediaSource, the MuVo, my USB ports, my motherboard, and every other piece of hardware just in case it's a conflict. There is nothing else I can download.
I've tried re-installing the firmware (in fact I'm having to do this on an almost daily basis).
I've tried it on a friend's computer: no change, same problems.
I've tried using a fresh install of windows with all the extra hardware stripped out of the pc, and i've tried the same system wit al the updates. Same problems.
I haven't EVER dropped the muvo, I don't li've next to a nuclear power station or on Jupiter.
I've tried using different kinds of batteries.
I've connected it in recovery mode, wiped it and started again. Repeatedly. Several times.
So, as I said at the top, I think I have a faulty muvo, b ut if anyone out there is thinking, "What a fool, he hasn't pressed the 'don't break' button!" then please, for the sake of my sahnity and rapidly receding hairline, HELP ME!
Dave
p.s. My 0 year old sound blaster 6 works flawalessly and always has. My 5 year old sound blaster li've 5. works flawlessly and nearly always has. My zen touch works flawlessly, but is a replacement for a faulty zen xtra. Which worked well, but was a replacement for a faulty jukebox zen. Which work ok, but was a replacement for a faulty jukebox 3 (which had an awesome remote control). Anyone see a pattern here?

davehelps:
The "delayed write failed" message suggests to me that you have write caching enabled for the N200 within Windows. This might be causing problems. I have this disabled - a side effect of this is that I don't have to use the Safely Remove Hardware icon before disconnecting the player (as long as I'm sure it is not being written to at the time).
To disable write caching:
Open My Computer and right click on the dri've letter for your player, choosing Properties.</LI>
On the Hardware tab click on the N200 and choose Properties again.</LI>
On the Properties page choose the Policies tab and select Optimize for quick removal.</LI>
