Title Box sticks until quit

iPhoto '08 (version 7.1.5 (378)) on a PPC (1.6 Ghz Dual G4 with 1.38 GB RAM) OS 10.4.11
When you're in iPhoto viewing "all photos" as opposed to viewing as Events, you get a large grey transparent box in the middle of the window which contains the date and event name as you slide the scroll bar. Once you stop, the box disappears. So far so good.
However, I've found that under certain conditions this grey transparent title box sticks in place. It keeps changing as I scroll but no matter what I do, it won't go away. The only way to get this title box out of my way is to restart iPhoto. I believe the problem is triggered mostly if you try to use the scroller to view photos pending an import.
Thanks.

iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Uncheck "Show Acrolling Information"
There's a similar setting in the Events tab as well.
If that doesn't sort the problem try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
*What's the plist file?*
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

I am aware I am not using the latest version of Firefox. Bases on what I've read I'm not going to like the changes in the latest version and do not want to change versions until absolutely forced too.
This problem occurs in safe mode, and with multiple profiles.
I have seen some reports from other people saying they have the same problem.

If you have made changes to Advanced font settings like increasing the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" in case the current setting is causing problems.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but to use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with text not being displayed properly.

You can't. It's not a user controllable feature.

I have a Wordpress site. I wanted to add a new page to it. However, when I try, I am able to type inside of the "Title" box & I am able to type inside of the "Post Excerpt (Meta Description)" box. However, I cannot type inside of the main body box where the actual content of my page would appear.
This seems to be a browser issue because I can do it if I use Internet Explorer. Why does Firefox prevent me from editing or adding a new page to my Wordpress site?
Thanks.

How can I paste an image into a text/title box?

Hi,
I am putting together a 'memories' video using the 'Photo Album' theme in iMovie 11. What I want to do is insert some titles along the way (photo album type), have text above (no problem) with a still image in the box below. However, when I try to drop the image on the title box (on the timeline) it plays about 1-2 seconds of the still before it merges into the titles frame. I want it to merge/play instantly. It doesn't seem to matter whether I place the image directly on top of the title, before it or after. Any ideas?
Thanks,
John

There is no way to separate them.

How do I stop iPhoto from repeatedly closing Event title boxes when I am in the middle of entering a title?

How do I stop iPhoto from repeatedly closing Event title boxes when I am in the middle of entering a title?
This problem started several months ago. I have tried typing more slowly and typing faster; neither help.
It now takes me about four attempts to complete a title of about twelve characters, achieving about three characters on each attempt.
I am running iPhoto 9.4.3 on OS X 10.8.3 on a 2.93 GHz Intel Quad-Core i7 iMac with 12 GB of DDR3 memory.

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Title Bar Sticking

My Title Bar sticks every so often. For example, I'll be working in Safari, then switch to Mail. But my Title Bar will still say "Safari." When this happens, the menu drop downs are inoperable. I can clear the problem by navigating back to the application shown on the Title Bar, or by relaunching Finder. I've already tried repairing permissions, deleting the Finder plist file, and reinstalling OS X. Apparently the problem is being carried through in one of the preference or system files. Does anyone have any idea how I can stop this from happening? Thanks for your help!

I can have any number of windows open. If I switch focus by clicking on an exposed section of an open window, the focus changes but the Title Bar does not. If I switch focus by clicking on the Dock icon of an open window, the focus changes but the Title Bar does not. Except, that if I switch focus back to the application shown in the Title Bar, the problem temporarily resolves and everything seems to be working OK.
Example: TextEdit, Mail, Safari, and iCal are all open. TextEdit is showing in the Title Bar. I click on a section of the Safari window. Focus switches to Safari and I start working in Safari in a normal manner. Then I notice that the Title Bar still says "TextEdit." I click on a section of the iCal window and the focus switches to iCal. But the Title Bar still says "TextEdit." I switch back to TextEdit. I notice that the Title Bar drop downs are now working. I switch to any other application and the Title Bar changes appropriately. Everything now works OK for a while. Then I notice the Title Bar is stuck again, and I have to go through the same process of backing up to the app shown in the Title Bar to get it unstuck again.

Can Title Boxes Be Resized?

I'm helping one of my students with a video project, and we're having trouble with the titles. There are a few that break into a 2nd line. When the video plays, it only shows the top line. Is it possible to drag the title box higher, or increase the box size? I don't want to decrease font size any more or it will be unreadable.

Yes and no!
It depends on which of the pre-set tites you are using. Some have a "font" button which allows you to change the font style, color, and size. Other titles have a standard font and size which can't be changed.

Duplicated title box creeps gradually to the side

In iMovie 11 I have a lot of the same style titles, using the "duplicate last title" command in clips. The more titles I use, the more the text/title box creeps to the side (to the right in my case, I'm using the lower static title box). It's as if there is some bug there that moves each subsequent title boundary after it's been duplicated. In the end, the text box goes out of the boundary of the movie and letters simply disappear.

Well, now I'm feeling even more stupid.
I cannot find the generator button you describe, even after consulting the help manual.
I THINK I know which one it is - the button in the lower right corner of the viewer - the same one that has Text, Crawl, etc....?
But it's not there.
I'm using FCP HD. is that the problem?
Also, Boris is familiar to me - I think I've used it or seen it in the past - but I can't find it. I'm wondering if I'd seen it previously while using Final Cut Express, but somehow, since upgrading to Pro, I don't see it any more.
If you can clarify any of this, i would be vrey grateful.

Can you not use Page Setup? Use the Page Size tab, ensure you don't have "Let Visio expand the page as needed" selected.

How do I get rid of shadow Title boxes in idvd

I have been making dvd's using idvd for some years and have had few problems. Current version is 7.1.2 When I have done so, if I add a title or any comments to a photograph they appear in a 'shadow box' and if I do not no 'shadow box' has appeared on the screen, as you would expect.
However, on my latest dvd some of my photographs have retained a 'shadow box' even though I have not added titles. More interestingly (or not!) it would seem that this only occurs on photographs taken on a particular camera i.e. a Canon IXUS 310 HS, and not on those taken on my other camera a Panasonic Lumix TZ10? Have tried different 'Themes' to see if this makes any difference but apparently not.
Having now spent some time trying to solve the problem from both ends (idvd and camera) am now totally frustrated so grateful for any help

What do you see in the title shadow box for the Canon photos? Is there any entry? If so is it the Title or Description that's being displayed, large or small text?
Does anything change if you turn on the titles and descriptions and then turn it off again?
If you check the description field in iPhoto for those photos is there any entry in them?
You can try this basic troubleshooting fix:
1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete IDVD'S cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD folder.
3 - launch IDVD and try again.
