The annoying hover box

Is there a way to get rid of the yellow box that hovers over the text when you're editing it? I'd like to never has to see the **** thing again.
This one:

I think I've figured it out. In the document I'm working on I'm using track changes, and I had to change the first line indent for every paragraph in the document. Most changes in track changes are marked by the carat for deletions and the color blue for inserted text.
When you change the format of a paragraph, however, it can't be indicated by a simple carat because you've altered an entire paragraph, so that annoying box pops up when you hover over a paragraph (and anywhere in that paragraph) whose style has been changed.
If I accept the change on a paragraph, the box stops appearing when I hover over that paragraph. So, it's a 'feature' that gets in the way of actually working on the document.

You can hide the box that shows the snippets with code in userChrome.css
Add code to userChrome.css below the @namespace line.

How can I turn off the annoying yellow boxes that have started appearing?

It seems that recently I have started having annoying yellow boxes appearing when I hover over thing in the finder window. This is something that I didn't have going on in the previous 3 versions of Mac OS X.
Here's an example...
How can I get rid of them?

This appears to be a third party extention of some sort with the bright yellow background? Start there if you modified.

How to stop the annoying hover without click

If I want to do something I was used to moving my cursor to the position and thinking about it a while. NOW if I hover over a command/link (including annoying ads) the command is executed when I did not want it to execute or display in the case of an ad in Safari. I have explored various preferences and I cannot find a way to turn off this annoying feature. PCs have had this annoyance for years and I always hated it. How can I turn off this awful "feature"?
I am afraid that this "update" is a bust. I am sorry I did not stick with Maverick.

Hi,
In System Preferences>Network, highlight or Show Internal Modem>PPP tab>PPP Options button... Prompt every xx minutes.

How do I stop the annoying little box from appearing?

Adobe Flash Player is requesting permission to store information on my computer. It appears in a square on my screen at will. It shows two choices which include: ALLOW or DENY (In either case, it is requesting viewing my information)
It does not accept DENY! I can not get this box off the screen, which interferes with work, while I am speaking with a customer, and not able to continue typing. How do I release this box, or stop it from appearing. I don't want to give permission to spy. I work with the public, their information is personal. Even when doing my own creative work, I don't want to give permission to spy.
Please tell me what I can do.
I work with yahoo, and firefox.
I am not techy, and am not sure how to do this request. I also don't understand what a tag is, or a thread on a forum.
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.

Applications that run in Adobe Flash Player may want to store some information on your computer, but the amount they can store is limited to 100 kilobytes unless you agree to allocate additional space. Local storage settings let you specify how much disk space, if any, applications from a particular website can use to store information on your computer. Note that it is the person or company that has created the application you are using that is requesting such access, not Adobe (unless Adobe has created the application that wants to save the information). In the dialog box shown above, [website] represents the name of the person or company requesting access. It is the responsibility of the person or company requesting access to make it clear to you why they want access and how they plan to use the information they save. You should be aware of the privacy policy of anyone who is requesting access to your computer. For example, see Adobe's privacy policy. Contact the website requesting access for information on their privacy policy.
It's important to understand that even though this settings panel is part of Flash Player, the information will be used by an application created by a third party. Adobe assumes no responsibility for third-party privacy policies, actions of third-party companies in storing information on your computer, or such companies' use of such data or information.
What kind of data can an application that runs in Flash Player store on my computer?
The kind of information stored depends on the application. Information can be anything from your user name to your current score in an interactive game to a list of stocks in your portfolio. The application should make it clear what kind of information it wants to store.
Who has access to the information?
This information may be accessed by an application that is currently running in Flash Player or by another application that runs in Flash Player on the same website. Adobe does not have access to this information (unless Adobe has created the application that wants to save the information).
As discussed in What are local storage settings? above, it is the responsibility of the website requesting access to make it clear to you why they want access and how they plan to use the information. For example, will it be available only to you, or will it be posted in a public place? Who will have access to it in the future? Will it be deleted after a certain period of time? The privacy policy of anyone who is requesting access should address these sorts of issues.
I've already set privacy and disk space options in my browser. How do these settings interact with my Flash Player settings?
You may be aware that some websites work together with your browser to store small amounts of data, called cookies, on your computer for their own use in the future. For example, when you go to a website regularly, it may welcome you by name; your name is probably stored in a cookie, and you can use browser options to determine whether you want cookies or not. You may also have specified in your browser that pages you visit can take up only a certain amount of disk space.
When SWF or FLV content is being played, the settings you select for Flash Player are used in place of options you may have set in your browser. That is, even if you have specified in your browser settings that you do not want cookies placed on your computer, you may be asked if an application that runs in Flash Player can store information. This happens because the information stored by Flash Player is not the same as a cookie; it is used only by the application that runs in Flash Player, and has no relation to any other Internet privacy or security settings you may have set in your browser.
Similarly, the amount of disk space you let the application that runs in Flash Player use has no relation to the amount of disk space you have allotted for stored pages in your browser. That is, when SWF or FLV content is being played, the amount of disk space you allow here is in addition to any space your browser is using for stored pages.
No matter how you may have configured your browser, you still have the option to allow or deny an application that runs in Flash Player permission to store the information, and to specify how much disk space the stored information can occupy, as discussed in the rest of this document.
What are my local storage options?
If you don't want to let applications from this website save any information on your computer, and you don't want to be asked again, select Never. Note that applications from other websites may later ask to store information on your computer. If you don't want applications from any website that you haven't yet visited to store information on your computer, and you don't want to be asked again, use the Global Storage Settings panel.
If you want to let applications from this website save information on your computer, but you want to decide on a case-by-case basis for each application, move the slider to the far left (None). Each time an application from this website wants to save information on your computer, you will see a question asking for more disk space.
If you want to let applications from this website save as much information on your computer as they need to, move the slider to the far right (Unlimited).
If you want to let applications from this website save information on your computer, but want to limit the amount of disk space they can use, move the slider to select 10 KB, 100 KB, 1 MB, or 10 MB. If an application needs more space than you have allotted, you will see a question asking for more disk space while the application is running.
If an application from this website has already saved some information on your computer and you select a value that is lower than the amount of information already stored, Flash Player informs you that any information that has already been saved will be deleted.
If you don't want existing information to be deleted, click Cancel to return to the Local Storage Settings panel, and then select a higher value. Otherwise, click OK to delete the information and return to the application.
How can I change my local storage settings?
You may want to change your local storage settings if, for example, you want to allot more space for information from this website. To display the Local Storage Settings panel:
Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the application image while it is running.
From the context menu, select Settings, and then click the Local Storage tab.

Shutting off the annoying yellow text box thing.

Does anyone know how I can shut off the yellow text box that pops up when I stop the curser on a hyperlink?
I rarely use it and it's just too annoying to me.

Actually, that's incorrect. Tooltips are enabled by default in Safari 3.
I was referring to showing *the full URL of a link* in a tooltip when you hover over the link. Is that enabled by default in Safari 3? My impression is that is not. (It was enabled by default in a previous version of Safari, which annoyed many people and caused quite the uproar here. )
As mentioned above and in my edit, showing URLs in tooltips can be enabled/disabled. Showing title text in tooltips doesn't seem to be something you can disable, or at least not as easily.
You can check whether URL tooltips are turned on for Safari by checking its .plist file for the lines:
<key>WebKitShowsURLsInToolTips</key>
<string>N</string>
Where N=0 means URL tooltips are turned off, and N=1 means they're turned on.

That is the snippet container.
You can hide that container or set the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref to an empty String on the about:config to make Firefox use some default snippets.

Can you attach a screenshot if you mean something else?
*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot
Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).

When using the Google search box in the upper right corner, midway through typing the search subject, Firefox switches to the Yahoo search box in the middle of the screen. This is very annoying and happens on both home and work computers.

Seems like Yahoo is the new Firefox default browser.

Then why not get rid of the Google search box if it's not going to work?

Can you turn off the annoying pop-up in iTunes

Can you turn off the annoying pop-up in iTunes when you hover over a song in your song list.
I don't need a stupid pop-up; this isn't a stupid Windows program. Now my iTunes is jumping around, things are popping up! *** APPLE! I wnat my old iTunes back!

Like whan you touch the black bar at the top of the screen with the time and the battery percentage and all that...the screen will scroll all the way back to the top. I'm wondering if there is a way to turn that off

I have started having problems with the png dialogue box in Photoshop cs6

When I go to save the image I am working on, the PNG Dialogue box is black , I mean that the radial and submit buttons show up but the rest is just black so i cannot see exactly what I am doing. I cannot work out how to fix this and would really like to avoid a total reinstall of my CS6 package.
This issue does not happen using the PSD or JPG save options either so i am baffled.
Kind Regards
William
PS- Does anyone know if it is still possible to talk directly to Adobe via thier live chat option as I could not find it when I wanted to inform them of this directly

I am using OS X Mountain Lion. I really dont want to have to reinstall anything. An OS Reinstall is really no less annoying than a Reinstall of the CS6 package. Sadly it looks like this may be the only way forward. Just hope I can do it without losing too much from the machine as it is my work machine.
Thanks for your help and for the link. I just wish Adobe was more directly contactable about issues that come up when using their products.

After installing mountain lion the local mail boxes disappeared

after installing mountain lion the local mail boxes disappeared.

This is my problem too:
All of my local mailboxes (On my Mac) disappeared from the sidebar. However, I do not have the 'triangle' on the Inbox that I can turn to reveal the list of mailboxes -- that disappeared too (and nothing happens when I hover over "Inbox"). I do know that the mailboxes are still there, somewhere, because when I go to create a New Mailbox, I can navigate to "On My Mac" and the entire mailbox list shows up there in the dropdown. How do I get them back onto my sidebar if the option to do that is no longer on the "Inbox" icon?

Annoying message box

I use the Chrome Bookmarks extensively for opening SSH and Telnet sessions with servers and other devices. Since upgrading to Lion and Chrome 16.0.912.63, every time that I start an SSH or Telnet session from a bookmark, I get an annoying info box with the following information:
"Terminal is opening a SSH session for Google Chrome.app. Do you want to allow this? This will reveal your name to the host that you are connecting to."
Umm... That's the whole point! So why am I getting this message? How can I get rid of it?
Thanks!!!

After I do this, the "Convert To" box goes "gray" and I am unable to convert the document I have selected. It was working great for the first week that I used it, but now it doesn't give me the converting option. I am very frustrated as I have done nothing to change anything, and I was thinking this was so great...now I am just pulling out my hair and do not have the option of calling anyone since no phone numbers are listed. I am VERY busy and do not have time to sit and wait over a half an hour to "chat", which I tried to do yesterday. All I want to do is very simply, convert pdfs to Word. I have paid for this and am not getting any help. I am not very savvy when it comes to Adobe this program and Adobe that program...I feel I am being scammed as I do not get simple answers for something that appeared was going to be simple. You can't even call customer service to talk to someone live to help walk you through.

Hello Kathie,
Sorry for the inconvenience that has caused to you.
Please let me know if you have tried converting any other PDF to word with Reader.
Alos, please sign up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/" using your Adobe ID credentials. Click on 'ExportPDF' tab and upload the PDF that you want to convert to Word.
Let me know if this converts fine.
Hope to hear from you.
regards,
Anubha
