Image title tooltip (not alt text) doesn't work

There are half a dozen or so existing help requests mentioning alt text or discussing problems with the Google Toolbar add-on, but this is not my issue, so I am opening a separate help ticket.
If you are here about "alt" text, first read any of the posts explaining that "alt" text isn't supposed to appear, it's just a quirk of IE that it sometimes does, FF4 is correct and does what the standards ask and what other browsers do. You want "title" text. The best explanation seems to be:
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/804893
If you have the Google Toolbar installed, turn it off and see if you get them back. This is a known issue, eg:

Now, still not getting tooltip popups for here or here?

Neither was I. I *did* get them in safe mode, but I did a lot of resetting and mucking about without any luck. In the end, after doing a text diff between safe mode and not, of the Troubleshooting information (in the Help menu), I found that the issue might be Direct2D-related, and changed the flag "gfx.direct2d.disabled" to true in about:config. I now have tooltips back but a less efficient FF4.
Hope that this helps someone, and hope that the Direct2D issue gets sorted out!

  • Alt Key Doesn't Work With Tools

    Suddenly the Alt key doesn't work with Clone and other Tools. When it's pressed, it shows a double arrow (black/white)cursor and a selection is not defined.
    I did a forum search and found this
    Q: My Alt key doesn´t work when using the Clone, Lasso, Magnifyer.. Tool.
    A:
    Some programs and utilities takes control of the Alt key when installed.
    GuruNet (Atomica) and FlySwat are two of these applications. Uninstall them and re-claim the Alt-key, and all should be fine.
    ...but these programs are not on my PC. Plus, the Alt key works fine in other programs. I'm using CS.
    I'm desperate to fix this. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Dear Awe,
    >Crumbs in the board?
    Thank you!!! My first thought on reading your msg was "You gotta be kidding". Then, "well, why not". So I did it and it worked. Amazing. Learn something new every day. In 18+ years of computer use I never had this problem (I've had lots of dirty keyboards, but never this problem). Must have been a big crumb. The only mystery though is why the key worked ok in another program. Anyway, a thousand thanks.
    John, thank you for your reply too. I looked in the Regional Settings but couldn't find anything re keyboard mapping. I'm using XP.
    Best Regards,
    CJ

  • Since the kitkat update, my "talk to text" doesn't work on my LG G2

    Since the kitkat update, my "talk to text" doesn't work on my LG G2 unless it is connected to WiFi.  It says "unable to reach Google.  try again later".  Can somebody tell me how to fix this!? I need this feature most when I'm NOT connected to WiFi!

        Hello drewzytoo, let's get to the bottom of this together! Let's first start by resetting the Voice Mate app. Go to settings, applications, keyboard settings, voice commands and clear app data. If the issue still persists, the next step is to test in safe mode: http://vz.to/1n1hKWA Keep us posted!

  • Frozen rogue image on macbook air: synced iphone, was asked to download from itunes, to restart, did this. when restarted there was photo of chocolate saying 'love you'. never seen image, it will not delete, the techs at work tried too. No luck.Virus?

    frozen rogue image on macbook air: synced iphone, was asked to download from itunes, to restart, did this. when restarted there was photo of chocolate saying 'love you'. never seen image, it will not delete, the techs at work tried too. No luck.Virus? any ideas?

    I'm an applications developer and also run a part-time videography business. As such, I require more than 3.12GB of RAM. That is the physical limitation of a 32bit system. Pointless to stay on 32bit if you plan on having more than that much RAM.
    I'm also not about to pay someone to fix my PC when I can do it myself. I was originally hoping for someone who had experienced the problem before to point me in the right direction so I didn't have to spend so much time trying to figure out what the issue was for myself.
    Basically, in the end the problem was caused because right at the point in time when I chose to uninstall, and reinstall; Apple released a new version of iTunes. This version in turn had a requirement of iOS 4.2 to sync with the iPhone. This is a pretty embarrassing for Apple that they would release software reliant on other software before said software was released.
    Had I realised I was downloading a newer version at the initial point of installation, this wouldn't have been an issue. I could've easily have rolled back iTunes to the previous version and gotten on with my life.
    Another issue is that iTunes is not actually a 64 bit application. It masquerades as one to allow installation on the 64 bit platform.

  • Alt LGLG doesn t work

    Hi,
    How do we see event logs on BblackBerry 8900 V5.0.0.509 (platform 5.2.0.47), because alt + lglg doesn't work.  Is there a different way ??
    My BB is slow and want get it faster and delete the even log
    greetings
    Djouz

    You need to be on the home screen.  Then hold the alt key and press L G L G. 
    Deleting the logs probably won't do anything to "speed up" your device.

  • Alt text doesn't show

    Hi Creatives,
    it's a simple question? How can I add an alt text to images?
    Right click image properties doesn't show.
    Thanks,
    Rado

    You can only use Alt text, if you place an image. Alt text is not available, if you fill a box with an image.

  • My Titles do not display text

    Each time I attempt to insert a title into my project, the text disapears.  The project shows the title template but no text.  I attempt to edit the title and text shows in the preview screen and edit screen, but not on the workpage.  This happens will still titles.  My "roll title" blurs the text and makes it unreadable.  Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the quick response.  I’ve tried to render several times, even
    dumping the old rendered files and starting over with a fresh render of the
    entire project – nothing.  The duration for each title is 8 seconds.  At
    first I used fades, but I thought it was the problem creating too short a
    duration - not the case. 
    As for the monitor, it may be the case for my previewing, but the output to
    DVD produces the same effect.  The title shows the template, but not the
    text (white, Century Schoolbook, 35pt).  The rolling title shows about two
    seconds worth of text from the bottom and then becomes unreadable as most of
    the image is distorted - like a window screen is placed over the words and
    you only see a little of each character.  The final render and DVD produces
    the same results as the preview on my computer.

  • TS2755 I used to get iMessages on my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 now it goes to one or the other, not both.  Icloud is not working for this and iMessage texting doesn't work I need to send it as a regular text. How do I fix this issue.

    Icloud doesn't work between my iPad 2 and iPhone 4. And when I try to iMessage from my iphone 4 it doesn't send. I need to send it as a regular text message. Any ideas why they won't sync and iMessage won't send?

  • Alt text doesn't convert from PPT to PDF

    We're trying to create accessible PDFs (and have done so in the past). Two different people are trying -- one gets no alt text in the PDF, and the other gets single image alt text, but no alt text on grouped items. Any suggestions?

    How is the conversion being done? What versions of PPT, Acrobat, and OS in both cases? The answer probably lies in the area of compatibility or procedure.

  • Damaged Aperture Library - ALT CMD doesn't work, because update is starting

    I have a Aperture Library with apr. 30'000 Pictures. I used this library the last time before switching to a new macbook pro and before aperture update(s). If I start aperture and select this library by choosing "other library", the update library screen opens, but the scan after that doesn't do anything. I found some discussions, they say "starting with ALT CMD". But this doesn't work because everytime the update screen is showing up and so, I can't fix the damaged library.
    If I used this library as startup library, I got the message, damaged library (in german defekt) and aperture closes.

    It worked the half way.
    So far, so  good.
    I can rebuild the database and see all the Projects and Folders with their numbers of pictures, but there are no pictures.
    If you see the number of pictures but no thumbnails in the film strip when in Split View, you probably have a filter set. Make sure that all search fields in the Browser and the Library panel are cleared and set to "All items". If that does not help, post back.
    I save my photos not inside the Aperture Database. I have the pictures as jpg and cr2 files on my external Airport disk. Maybe, that's why it didn't work?
    So your Aperture Library is a referenced library and not a managed one? If you see broken arrows on the thumbnails of your images once you reveal them again by clearing the filters, you have to to tell Aperture the location of your master files and reattach the masters. Select the images in a project, and from the Aperture main menu select "File" -> "Locate Referenced Files"

  • IPhoto running really slow - alt cmd doesn't work, restart neither, library has about 2000 photos

    I already tried all options when starting iphoto with alt and cmd pressed - doesn't work
    I restarted my mac - doesn't work
    I clicked "repair" and "verify" disk in "disk utilities" - doesn't work
    My iphoto library has about 2000 pictures, I have a macbook air 11' and the latest version of iphoto. The problem first came up when i imported pictures directly to iphoto from my digicam - iphoto kept on shutting down unexpectedly. Alt+cmd worked then, I rebuilt the library. Since then iphoto is running slow. I cannot even scroll down or up without waiting and getting a beachball.
    Please help me - I have no idea what to do!
    Thank you very much!

    How much free space do you have on your boot drive?
    Give this a go:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, 
    navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
    Note:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • Change notification E_mail text doesn't work in Portal 7.0

    I am changing notification E_Mail text accroding this link:
    <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/33/d494c86203ea40b7b44ddd471baab1/frameset.htm">http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/33/d494c86203ea40b7b44ddd471baab1/frameset.htm</a>
    But it doesn't work.
    and I have a question ,
    where should I saved the file 'com.sap.security.core.util.notification.notificationTexts_language_zh_CN.properties'  in the Portal server.

    Since you have not provided a more detailed desription of what is not working, and what is at error and what you assume the desired output to be for the specific user(s), I can only recommend you check the following:
    1.) The email parameters are being configured per language. As such the user you are testing with needs to have the same default portal language assigned. Either by default or by personalisation.
    2.) The 'com.sap.security.core.util.notification.notificationTexts_language_zh_CN.properties' file you are using may be referencing a notificationTexts_cn.properties language entry. Check the language installations are named the same and be aware this can be case sensitive.
    3.) Ensure that you have the entry in the config tool in the same case.
