Hover-over play/pause/FF pop-up controls gone

I'm on Windows 7. It used to be that I'd hover over the Spotify tab on the task bar and get a pop-up control menu that would give me the option of pausing a song or skipping or going back a track. Now I noticed it's gone. Is this a bug or was it permamently removed? This was such a great UI feature. Why the heck would it be removed? I don't understand why something would be removed that made Spotify easier to use. Now I have to go through extra steps to pause or play a track. It's been numerous times I've seen this happen with Spotify where you guys will remove something simple such as ability to search for a track, and then it's gone for months. Why do you do this to me??!! Please bring back the hover-over controls on the taskbar! And while you're at it, please allow the song to scroll once again on the taskbar. It used to do that, so I could see the artist and full song name while I was working on something else and not have to click over to Spotify to see the whole artist/title. Come on guys, these little things are simple but make the program so much more user-friendly. Put them back in!

ok so just after I posted the above message, on my way home and it magically starts to work again.
I'm going to blame the user.

You installed a variant of the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
This malware has many variants. Anyone else finding this comment should not expect it to be applicable.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.2c232f1e4d12129e.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.2c232f1e4d12129e.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.2c232f1e4d12129e.helper.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/2c232f1e4d12129e
/System/Library/Frameworks/v.framework
The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
          Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

My link preview has disappeared from the bottom left of the page (it no longer pops up when I hover over a link.) Thoughts on how to get it back? I really LIKE having it!

It is possible that the screen is too high and that the scroll bar and the find bar and add-on bar fall off at the bottom.
If that works then close Firefox (File > Exit/Quit) to save that setting.

Play pause movie controls

I would like to create play/pause movie controls that for different flv files.
I do not want to use skins but have the controls as part of the movie/video.
Can anyone point me to a tutorial source that will help me design these?

please don't cross-post. check your duplicate thread.

Can someone help with a div that pops up when you hover over a button?

I made a div that pops up (stacked on the rest of the page) when you hover over a button (gigs). It works in the safari preview but when I test it online it doesn't. It's above the logo instead of blocking it and on the left site instead of the right. And when you open the page it isn't hidden like in the preview. Does someone know what is wrong?
The test page: Stuff

Below code, onclick of 'GIGS' shows pop-up window. You then have a 'close' button which when clicked closes it.

Universal dock remote control play/pause button doesn't work

Hi all,
Ok since updating to Ipod touch software v2.2 I have been unable to use the play/pause button on my Apple universal dock remote, whilst my iPod touch is in the dock.
The volume controls and track next and previous buttons commands on the remote control work just fine.
I have tried unpairing and then pairing the remote with the universal dock but same issue. I thought that maybe the play/pause key was possibly broken. However I tested the remote on my iMac and play/pause button works fine in front row.
Any ideas/suggestions would be much appreciated.

Strange thing is mine started working again last night and is still working. Seems the problem went away as it originally appeared. I hope it doesn't stop working.
I will mark this thread as unanswered until we can figure why the remote, universal dock and iPod touch are behaving this way.

Animation couldnt control with Play pause toggle button..

stop();
btns.visible = true;
btns.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onEl);
dfr.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,onEls);
dfr.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT,onEld);
btns.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,onEls);
btns.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT,onEld);
var _vrSts:int = 0;
function onEl(eve:Event):void    {
    if(_vrSts)    {
        //trace('status:'+_vrSts);
        _vrSts = 0;
        //btns.label = "Play";
        btns.gotoAndPlay(1);
        btns.visible = false;
        //if(currentFrame == 445)
            //gotoAndPlay(1);
            if(currentFrame == 445) {
            gotoAndPlay(1);
            btns.gotoAndStop(1);
        else
           stop();
        //btns.gotoAndStop(1);
    }else    {
        //trace('status:'+_vrSts);
        //stop();
        _vrSts = 1;
        btns.gotoAndStop(2);
        //btns.label = "Pause";
           play();
function onEls(eve:Event):void    {
    btns.visible = true;

Remote control play/pause gnome

ok so i have just installed Gnome and tried to use the remote control that ships with my compro videomate T750, i can use the volume fine but when it comes to pausing a movie in say smplayer all i get is a ring with a line through it. i know the control works as i use it with LXDE and KDE with no issue at all, i have tried setting keyboard mapping and when i press play/pause the mapping is accepted however when i try to use it it wont work.
anyone have any suggestions / experiance with this issue.
Thanx
EDIT.... have just discovered that the pause button on my keyboard also is not recognised (maybe linked)

yes i tried last night and totem and rythmbox both work. i would have liked to stick with smplayer and maybe i will look for a plugin or something later but for now it seems to be working. however as the original post was regarding a non standard gnome media player i shall hold off marking it solved until either i find or am informed about a work round.

How do I disable those pesky "hover-over" pop ups? I tried the method of right clicking on them and opting out, but it doesn't work. If you guys could add some kind of blocker to your browser, it would be a huge plus!

I tried it, but couldn't get it to work. I think I had trouble with the Rule. I put a Rule in as follows: Data added in the last five hours? I added music (data) but nothing appeared in my Smart Playlist. Oh yes - I named the playlist: Recently Added.
What did I do wrong? Is it necessary to have a question mark at the end of the Rule? I couldn't find anything on how to create a Smart Playlist in Help. There is stuff in there, but it does not go into much detail, i.e., nothing on the proper wording of the Rule.

Play/Pause controls not working properly after IOS 8

I like streaming content off of a website I visit in safari. Before the update, I was able to play/pause the content from the lockscreen, I was also able to do it using my apple earpods. Now this feature doesn't want to work properly. It will work when I start listening, but if I let it play or stay paused for more than a minute, the controls stop working. If I press pause in the lock screen, nothing will happen. However, when I Slide-To-Open, the audio will start playing (or pausing) like I intended.

Follow-up to my earlier post that iPhone 6 Bluetooth not working correctly. I purchased a Jawbone MiniJambox to use as a speaker phone in my office. Everyone in our company thinks they are the best. However, it is experiencing the same issues as with all my other Bluetooth headsets. Everything works except cannot answer or hang up calls pushing the buttons on the Bluetooth devices. The Bluetooth patio speakers in our courtyard also have the same issue. However, my colleagues using iPhone 5 and 5s who did not update to iOS8 are using all Bluetooth devices without any issues. Apple says it is a problem with my Bluetooth device. Come on Apple.... This makes 7 different Bluetooth devices with different manufacturers. You cannot possibly believe the problem is with the Bluetooth devices when iOS7 works perfectly fine...
On another issue, my iPhone 5s worked perfectly fine in my vehicle entertainment center connected via USB. The vehicle entertainment center had complete control of my iPhone and iTunes. However, now I plug in my new iPhone 6 and it no longer communicates with my vehicle entertainment center. Again when I called Apple, they said my vehicle entertainment center needed a firmware update. Are you kidding me... That is a bunch of BS...!!!

Safari yellow hover-over pop ups

I have no idea how this began or when but it's been a few weeks now.
you know this hover-over bar that appears with more information when you hover over something for a few seconds, well now it has started appearing constantly, all the time, without delay that is, it's really annoying, it obscures allot of the things i'm actually wanting to move my cursor over. like pictures or even the menu buttons.
So far i haven't noticed it in any other applications, just Safari and google chrome.
any ideas?

The popup is called a tooltip or help tag. See
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/OnlineHelp/Concepts/To oltips.html
To turn them off:
defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitShowsURLsInToolTips 0
http://www.macworld.com/weblogs/macosxhints/2007/02/termtooltips/index.php
states that
defaults write -g NSInitialToolTipDelay -int 10000
From now on, tooltips won’t appear until you’ve hovered for 10 seconds over a given onscreen control for every application (the -g bit means “global change”).
To change only Safari, try:
defaults write com.apple.Safari NSInitialToolTipDelay -int 10000

Controlling keybaord Play/Pause button

Hello:
I have a PS2 keyboard that I cannot find a good replacemnt for, so I will keep it (Windows Natural Multimedia Keyboard). Most multimedia buttons on it works, but not Play/Pause, which I would really need. Spacebar works as a Play/Pause toggle, but only if the iTunes window is visible on the monitor screen. (Play/Pause would probably work on a USB keyboard, but, as I said, I cannot find anything but black keyboards, and my eyes are saying "No!".)
Now, I can program buttons, and I wonder if there is any way to control iTunes Play/Pause via some command or such?
Grateful for tips.
Regards,
Hans L

Costco has an awesome return policy -

and they dont check serial #s)
(Honestly i have no idea why Apple allows their iPods to be sold under so lenient a returns policy)
Anyway, this info is facts. Do with it what you will.

I can understand this with videos you are streaming, i.e. maybe you have a slow data connection.
Videos on your phone should not do this. Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

[Solved] Control MPD with Macbook Pro Play/Pause keys

I have mpd installed and working with ncmpcpp as the client.
I have a 17" C2D 9600GT Mac book Po.
I have pommed installed and working.
I'm using openbox, but I sometimes use awesome when I feel like it.
I think that's all you really need to know. This is probably really simple, but I'm not sure how to do it.
I would like the play/pause key to play/pause, skip forward key to skip forward and the skip back to skip back.
This is a little unrelated, but if any of you have a macbook pro you would know about the alternate to the F3 key. In mac It takes all of your active windows and tiles them across the screen so you can select what window. In awesome, to change the tiling mode you press Command(super)+space. Can I make that alternate F3 key mapped to this?
Thanks guys.

Got it all set. Thanks dude. That link helped quite a bit.
Just in case anyone was wondering, I ended up figuring out what the keys were mapped to and assigned them to control mpc via the rc.xml for openbox.
So basically, copy and paste this into your rc.xml as long as your keys are mapped to XF86 correctly.
<keybind key="XF86AudioPrev">
<action name="Execute">
<execute>mpc prev</execute>
</action>
</keybind>
<keybind key="XF86AudioPlay">
<action name="Execute">
<execute>mpc toggle</execute>
</action>
</keybind>
<keybind key="XF86AudioNext">
<action name="Execute">
<execute>mpc next</execute>
</action>
</keybind>
