How do I stop a notify icon appearing multiple times... then disappear when mouse hovers over them
Hi,
[Re-posted
from Outlook Dev Forum]
I have an Outlook addin which makes use of a System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon to display update message without requiring the user to click Okay to dismiss them...etc.
I declare and create it in the addin class (so not in start up or any other event) as:
Public WithEvents notifyIcon As New System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon
Then throughout in my code if I need to display a message I use notifyIcon.ShowBalloonTip. This works great, and I run it off the main thread as well as a syncing background worker thread. The problem is that when I go down and expand the
system tray, there are often many clones of the icon I use, which then disappear when I hover my mouse over them.
I understand this isn't an uncommon problem, and it happens also with new email icons in the system tray. However, is there any way I can prevent this from happening, or best practices I need to abide by?
In the Shutdown event I use:
If notifyIcon IsNot Nothing Then
notifyIcon.Visible = False
notifyIcon.Dispose()
End If
Any help would be much appreciated, since I can't seem to find any definitive info elsewhere online.
Thanks!
Tom
Note: I don't actually use a windows form with the notifyIcon, I just declare it as above... not sure if that affects anything?
Would this be the same as using the Application_Quit event for the Outlook addin? Since I've
seen that in Outlook 2010 onwards it doesn't call the Shutdown event now anymore, so you need to use the Quit event of the application to do any tidy up. Maybe that is why the icons are remaining.
Thanks,
Tom
Hello,
Wyck has shared a nice example with a form event, and for outlook 2010, we could deal with that notifyIcon inside application quit event.
Based on the document below you shared, it seems that you have found the reason, if that issue still exists, please feel free to let us know.

How to make the icons in the dock become bigger when I hover over them?
I see in my friend's Mac that the icons in the dock become bigger when the user hovers over them with the mouse pointer. Mine don't change when I hover over them. Am I missing something?
Go to the Apple Menu > System Preferences > then click on the Dock icon.
Check the box for Magnification:
Close the Preferences Pane and you should be good to go.

Menu Bar Icons Appear...then Disappear, then Reappear
I can't find this problem anywhere else on the internet being addressed. I have a MacBook Pro 2Ghz Intel Core Duo. Ever since I did a clean install of Leopard I have this weird problem. In the upper right corner where the Finder, Battery, Volume, Wireless, Date/Time and Stacks Icons are located, they will appear, then disappear, then reappear constantly. Ive tried restarting, Ive even gone into the System Preference to choose the Time/Date option. When I click display time in Menu Bar it will let me select it, then when the icons disappear that option goes away in sync. Very strange, has anyone else had this problem and have a cure for it?
I'm having the exact same problem and I know what's causing it but I don't have a solution to fix it. It is happening for me due to my Firewire CD/DVD drive. It's just a regular Sony drive that never had any problems with 10.4. Now though when DVD is mounted it starts up the menu bar issues. When I eject the DVD the menu bar goes back to acting normal.
I did a google search and found another thread on the macfixit forums. One guy found a solution to fix his problem with it and that was to trash these two preference files in your home/Library. One was com.apple.finder.plist and I can't remember the other one. I tried it but it doesn't work for me since it seems to be my firewire DVD drive that's causing the issues.
Do you have an external Firewire device connected? If so try disconnecting it and see if that fixes your problem. I sure hope apple fixes this issue soon. -
Adobe Reader XI downloaded to my wife's laptop tonight. Windows 8.1. Open PDF, select Comments > comment dialog, then place icon on PDF and start editing. Small edits work fine. Large amounts of comment text, once you move off the icon and come back and hover over the comment icon, causes the full size comment window to flicker rapidly (5-10ms between on and off) until you move the mouse away from the icon. Unreadable. Tried on my identical model laptop and happens there too. What's going on?

You can change the timing yourself - just reduce the time the

How can i stop the upgrade message appearing everytime i open iphoto?
How can i stop the upgrade message appearing everytime i open iphoto?
It's getting ridiculous that every time i open iphoto that it insists in being upgraded and repaired. Anyone know how i can get rid of this without reinstalling it?
ThanksOption 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Just brought my daughter an iphone and have her setup on my ID. Want to be able to see her messages and photos but dont want my info to appear on her phone. How do i stop the messages from appearing on her phone?
If you have set up photo stream, this can't be done. As soon as you switch off photo stream on her device to keep your photos from coming to her device, you won't get any as well from her. Same for messages, you can't have both, sorry.
Maybe look into the family sharing feature if you want the photos to be shared:

I am having issues with streaming music from iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my audio system through AirPlay. Works perfectly with my iPod Touch. The AirPlay icon appears irregularly in iTunes and when selected doesn't connect. Running latest IOS software.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

How do I stop iphoto from launching itself every time I use my laptop?
How do I stop Iphoto from launching itself every time I use my laptop?
Some possibilities:
Right click on the iPhoto icon in the Dock. Is Open at Log In Selected?
Check your System Preferences -> Accounts -> Log In Items
Is there a camera or anything that your Mac might think is a camera (flash drive, USB Hard Disk formatted to a FAT format, phone) attached to your Mac. If so, disconnect it. If you don't want to disconnect it, set iPhoto to "Do Nothing" when a camera is attached. You do this in the iPhoto Preferences. -
How do I get a popup to appear every time a download finishes?
How do I get a popup to appear every time a single download finishes? I want a big popup window. I want it to interrupt me as I'm watching full screen movies. In otherwords, if I download 100 different files, when the first finishes, I get a popup. Second, another popup. Third, you get the idea. I want it to be the opposite of low profile. I want it to be something I can't ignore, something that most people wouldn't want--to be annoying. Like me.
First place I tried. I've searched online extensively. trying this as last resort. Please don't tell me where to look. I've probably already looked there. I'm hoping someone sees this and knows of an addon specifically and points me there exactly. Otherwise, posting to this question will only dilute its freshness.
