Tooltips (tool tips) do not show in Illustrator 14.0.0 (CS4)

Hello,
Today when I launch Illustrator CS4, I'm unable to see the tooltips that appear when the mouse hovers over the tools or any of the buttons on the panels. I'm still able to see the pop-up tooltips on the artboards (e.g., smart guide information).
I've double checked the preference option to ensure that "show tool tips" is checked.
I also deleted the preferences file (AIPrefs) in case it was corrupted.
None of this worked.
Does anyone know how to make the tool-tips appear again?
thanks in advance!
JP

Hi Scott,
Thanks for the reply. I'm farily certain that the mouse is not moving from any vibrations (heavy mouse, no detectible vibrations, etc.). If I leave my mouse over a tool and leave my hand off the mouse for a while, no tooltips.
... after rebooting my machine (Vista x64), the tooltips seem to have come back on. Like others have mentioned in these threads, it seems to take either about 4 seconds and/or mousing over several tools before the tooltips appear.... so I think this issue has resolved itself after the reboot.
thanks,
JP

Spry tool tip does not work in template or child pages within an editable region. Why not?

Ok. so I am getting pretty frustrated. I take the time to learn how to use CSS and to create a template page for a Contractor Site (www.ContractorInsurance.net). The idea is to create a page that I can use for different classes of Contractors...right?
Then I get all happy about being able to insert ToolTip onto pages to help the user. Great!
LIfe to turn to Sorrow after nearly five hours of searching for a "eeking" answer.
So what good does it do to have an Editable region to update if we cannot have the flexibility to insert a tool tip on child pages? Ok so the fast solution is to what... Have a question mark image, insert another apDiv, name it toolTip_Not and provide it with a show=hide behavior?
RRRRRrrr...
This really sucks not being able to find a solution within a reasonable amount of time.

I have tried thank you. However...it is still not working.

If you have a look at the following simple document with a tooltipTooltip trigger goes here.
Tooltip content goes here.
you will notice that a couple of lines have been placed in the HEAD section of the document. When using DW templates, the HEAD section is usually not editable, hence the error mesaage. By default, your template should have an editable region in it just before the closing tag. It looks like this:  Dreamweaver should be able to find that editable region and insert the
<script> tag there automatically. Because you don't have an editable region like that in the <head>, open the master template, and paste the code above just before the closing </head>
tag. Gramps

TOOL TIP is not working!!

Hello
(1)Now i can see the Caption of a object/field as TOOL TIP, fine.
(2)After i am binding with the associated data source field, I also got the populated value of that object/field as tool tip, fine.
I mean, not 2 tool tips, at the same second, either (1) ir (2), fine.
But, both are working for ONLY editable fields, tool tip is not working for "readOnly" fields (i colored these fields with GREY color)!!
Pls. let me know How can i get a tool tip for all KIND of fields, like, Greyedout fields, "readOnly" fields....all
Thank you

You could create an invisible field with the tooltip text you desire, send it to the back, and then on mouseenter of the field you want the tooltip for you just make the tooltip field visible and then make it invisible again on mouseexit.
on mouseenter:
this.presence = "visible";
on mouseexit:
this.presence = "invisible";
I've used this method in the past to pop up half page instruction sets.

Windows (tool) panels are not showing.

Windows (tool) panels are not showing, or letting me use most of the tool features. e.g. when I klick windows>align but no align window shows up, even though it is ticked in the 'Windows' drop down menu. This is the second time this has happened since subscribing. Help!

Sam,
It may be time for the list.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

The crop tool in my tool bar is not showing up. Any ideas why this is? Please Help

It's the 3rd one on Photoshop standard. As Curt implies, each little icon position has several possibilities you can display, allowing you some customization of your Tools panel. Click and hold the mouse button to see each of the choices.

Updated and now tool windows are not showing up.

I just updated my Muse and the pop open tool windows are not showing up. For example when I click on some text and then click on the list of typfaces the typeface window shutters and won't show up. This window keeps blinking from gray to black. I have uninstalled and re-installed the program. Also the tool window on the left side also cuts off the all of the tools. Also on my planning mode the A-master isn't showing up and I can't scroll to get to the A-master.

The A-master not showing up at the bottom of the screen sounds like you must be running on a Windows machine with your screen resolution set to 125%. Try setting your resolution back to 100% (or if need be increase to 150%) and see if that helps.
We don't support UI scaling in this release, but at the 125% setting Windows tries to scale us anyway and the result is not usable. We're working on a fix to avoid being scaled in this case.
If it still behaves badly at 100%, would it be possible to post a screenshot?

Folio overlay tools inside InDesign not showing in 2014.1 update

Folio overlay tools inside InDesign not showing in 2014.1 update.
I've had this issue before with past updates. Has this issue been logged?

I've just update OS X - 10.9.5 and that has fixed the issue.
The folio overlays tab was empty but it's fine now, sorry for the question earlier. I probably should have updated the OS first

Table Output text tool tip does not update on PPR

We have a adf table with a Lov and a out put text .
On changing the LOV, the out put text also change . but, on we mouse over on the tool tip does not changed . any suggestions ?
below code :
<af:outputText value="#{row.PlanTitle}" id="ot4" partialTriggers="soc3 si2"/>
However , if we refresh the table or reload after save , the toop tip also get change . but we need to update the tool tip on change the lov . any suggestion ?
Jdev : 11.1.1.3.0
browser : all ,

Hi,
taking it from:
+"However , if we refresh the table or reload after save , the toop tip also get change . but we need to update the tool tip on change the lov . any suggestion ? "+
The autput text component is part of a table ? If so then the table needs to be refreshed as the values in there are stamped. If I am wrong with my table assumption and the output text is part of a form, try setting clientComponent="true" for the output text field

Develop Tool overlays do not show, crop distorts

Lightroom 5.6 on Windows 8.1
Only installed today. Imported a Photoshop Elements 9 catalogue. Thought I'd play with Lightroom and retouch some old photos but I'm getting very odd problems.
The Develop Tool Overlays do not show when any of them besides crop. Yes I know you can turn them on, off or auto in Tools -> Tools Overlay menu option. No matter which I choose they never show up and do nothing when I try to drag, click brush etc.
The crop tool distorts my original image to a strange 16:9ish ratio before cropping.
Anyone heard of these problems? I've tried searching for these problems but can't find a solution.

I am having the same problem. The crop menu doesn't show drop down menu's. I am running the 64 bit version of
photoshop CS5 and I don't know if maybe it is a compatiblity issue? Any help to get the drop down menus to appear?

Tool tip to not move

Hi I'm a big fan. long time lurker first time poster
Currently the position of the tool tip depends on where the cursor first hovers over the image. Is there a way for the tool tip to appear in the same place no mater where the image is hovered?
below is the js and css
thanks

Tool Tip style not getting affected

Hi,
     This is the code i have in my style sheet
ToolTip {
   backgroundColor: #330099;
   color: #ffffff;
I have included in my source file.But its not getting affected in the list box tool tip.
Thanks & Regards,
Jayagopal P.S

Use it like this, this works:
private function setToolTipStyle():void {
     styleManager.getStyleDeclaration("mx.controls.ToolTip").setStyle("fontStyle","bold");
     styleManager.getStyleDeclaration("mx.controls.ToolTip").setStyle("fontSize","12");
     styleManager.getStyleDeclaration("mx.controls.ToolTip").setStyle("fontFamily","Arial");
     styleManager.getStyleDeclaration("mx.controls.ToolTip").setStyle("color","#ED8805");
     styleManager.getStyleDeclaration("mx.controls.ToolTip").setStyle("backgroundColor","#FCFC FC");
     styleManager.getStyleDeclaration("mx.controls.ToolTip").setStyle("borderStyle","solid");
     styleManager.getStyleDeclaration("mx.controls.ToolTip").setStyle("paddingTop","2");
     styleManager.getStyleDeclaration("mx.controls.ToolTip").setStyle("paddingBottom","2");

Tool tips aren't showing

I'm using PS CS4 on Windows xp
tool ships are checked in the preferences but they're not showing. Can you tell me what I need to do to bring these back. Thanks!

I have the same problem. I'm also using PS CS4 on XP. At first, the tool tips work fine. After a while, they just go away. If I exit PS and get back in, they come back. I haven't figured out what I'm doing to cause this. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one with this problem.

Direct selection tool not showing anchors illustrator CS3, Mac 10.5.8, MBP 2.6 GHz

With the direct selection tool (white arrrow) moving over an anchor they show up, but even if the anchor is selected the anchor blue box disappears as soon as the mouse moves away, so its impossible to select a handle. I can still move an anchor, but its hard to select two anchors to joint the paths etc., sort of like driving blind. If I click on a path, then hold down the command key, the hollow box anchors show up and the cursor changes into the selection tool. The hollow boxes show up on selecting using the selection tool (black arrow). I am pretty direct selection tool was working correctly last week (am an occasional user).
I've know the difference between the select tool, direct selection tool, and group selection tool. I think this happened a year ago and deleting a preference file helped. I, quit illustrator, deleted "com.adobe.illustrator.plist" in my user library, and tried again. that didn't help.

Bounding box not showing in illustrator CC 2104.1

Bounding box disappears after updating to CC 2014.1 (AI). Can't show it through the menu, neither the shortcut. Any idea?
El cuadro delimitador desaparece tras actualizar a Illustrator CC2014.1. No se muestra ni a través del menú ni con el atajo de teclado. ¿Alguna idea?

Marcos,
I am afraid you have come across the Live Rectangle bug which is limited to the MAC versions starting with 10.7 and 10.8, but not 10.9 (Mavericks), see this thread linked to below.
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1595973
So a switch to Mavericks with a reinstallation might be the way to solve it here and now.
It is possible to Expand the Live Rectangles to get normal old fashioned rectangles.
A way round that is to create normal old fashioned rectangles, after running the free script created by Pawel, see this thread with download link:

My bookmark tool bar does not show even though I checked it under Options.

When I go to FireFox/Help the toolbar shows. How can I get the tool bar to show?

Part of me understands the need to have purchases protected. I hope this does not get more and more complicated for "within family use". It is nice to buy music and share it with my wife, as we used to do with books prior to the iBooks "upgrade" - which mostly consisted of making it impossible to share books. Thanks though for your response; I was hoping for some luck and that maybe I had missed some simple step. To Apple: lighten up.
Best regards and thanks again for taking the time -
