What happened to command control D over text?

In Snow Leopard and Lion, you could hold down command control D over text (try it in TextEdit or Safari) and the definition for the word would pop up.
What happened to this? Why is it gone? How can this be restored?
Anyone?
It is so bothersome when functionality you've been using for years mysteriously goes away.

OMG. Now it does it on the release of the keys. Previously, you had to wait for it to display.
I'm still on Lion and the definition doesn't appear until you release the keys. I tested it in Safari and TextEdit. I think your mind is playing tricks on you!

What happened to command-control-a

This used to open a window allowing one to grab embedded videos. Now it doesn't work.
Is there another commmand that replaces it?

OK, it installed as you pictured. I had removed clicktoflash as you suggested.
Didn't suggest that (don't think I did).
Anyway, try installing both ClickToFlash and ClickToPlugin (I have both installed).
Then, test with any youtube video. (click to start the video, then right click and look for "Download Video")
Edit: OK I see you tried with both installed. Should work.
Check the settings: http://hoyois.github.io/safariextensions/clicktoplugin/#settings
Edit: Go to Safari->Preferences->Extensions, then ClickToPlugin, and click: "Click this checkbox to access settings":
A new Safari Tab will open,
Then in the ShortCut Menu Tab, click Download Video:

What happen to command i?

what happen to command i?

Or do you mean it's not working to change text to italics? If the font doesn't have an italics style you can't fake it. It's been that way in Pages since it first came out.

What happened to the controls in QuickTime?

I like the new look of QuickTime, but what happened to the controls for editing video? I used to be able to hit the "I" key for inpoint, and the "O" key for endpoint, and then hit delete to remove that section. Now, I have to drag the selection tool around to do the cut. This is very awkward, especially when I need to fine-tune the areas where the cut is to be made.
Are there any tips on doing some more fine-tuned edits in QuickTime?

I second SwagMeyer's request. He's not asking for any advanced trimming feature that would make things more difficult for the simple user: the IN and OUT shortcuts were presents and "invisible" also in QuickTimePro 7 and they would not affect that easiness of the application.

What happen to the ability to select text for speech?

What happen to the ability to highlight text and have the imac read the selected text out load back to you?

I am having this problem too, on mountain lion.
For example, before in Preview, you could select text to be read in text-to-speech. Now, this feature seemed to have just vanished! What happened?

What happened to Command+Shift+B = Bold face???

I'm an Adobe user since PhotoShop 2.0 and PageMaker version "Runtime" Windows. I've used InDesign CS4 for two months now. As most of you, I'm busy and haven't had time to research an itchy little glitch I've found. I use the shortcut Command+Shift+B since the beginning of time to switch to and from boldface fonts. All other CS4 applications as well as all MS Office products have continued the use of this handy (invaluable?) shortcut. With ID CS4, it no longer works. Why?

InDesign CS5 does not have faux bold or faux italic. Faux italics can be had using the skew setting. Generally a 20% skew setting works
well although in some cases the tracking may need adjusting to make it more legible. As for faux bold,I have found that by doing the following
I can get a bold look for fonts that I do not have bold versions available for.
     1. Create a small text box to hold only the text that needs to be bold.
     2. Align it over the original text.
     3. If the alignment just isn't quite right, align it as best as you can and then create a character style to change its color to paper
                    (I call it White Out). 'White out' the original text and you're left with the text in the small text box.
     4. Copy the text box and Paste In Place until it's as dark as you need.
While this is not an elegant solution nor workable with large amounts of bold text it serves the purpose and can be exported to PDF.
So far, I haven't found a simpler way around the problem.
As for the Command+Shift+B=Bold question. . . . . InDesign doesn't have it. So What!   Big deal! Get over it! The power of this
program and what you can do with it is breathtaking. Command+Shift+B=Bold is not needed.

What happened to command to get track names

I'm using iTunes 11.01 on OS 10.6.8 having just recently downloaded the updated iTunes. What happened to the advanced menu and the command to get track names and infor? I ripped some CD's while I was offline, and now I cana't figure out how to access the Gracenote Database to get the track names. This is a serious omission in the new version.

It is still there. Right mouse click on a song or group of songs and select Get Track names

If I upgrade to the plan that allows 5000 responses per form, is that 5000 per month? What happens when there have been over 5000 responses?

What happens when a form reaches the 5000 responses limit? Is the limit refreshed?

That's a comment in the file. It has no effect at all.

What happens when image count rolls over?

MY Canon Xsi is about to hit 10,000, and will roll over in the counting. What will happen in Aperture if I am using a referenced master setup? What about if I just change things to a all incorporated database?
Or, would it be better to start importing with customer names to eliminate duplicates?
I do have 25,000 shots from an old Pentax, so I already have some duplicates with 3 matches.
Thanks.

I love the XSi. Great little camera!
The counter will restart and the camera will begin writing to a new directory on the memory card. I believe it'll start writing in CANON101 instead of CANON100, or something like that
A standard naming convention might be a good idea, but it's really up to you.

What happened to Database Control?

Why are all OEM topics now forced to reside under the heading "Grid Control"? Grid Control is not the only OEM management option. In fact, it's not even the default: Database Control is installed with any basic 10g installation and serves as the default OEM manager.
Since 10g was released, I often see the terms "OEM" and "Grid Control" used interchangably, and that's not correct on a global level. Both options exist, and anyone running a single database instance is much more likely to use Database Control over Grid control, or if they don't have a terabyte of physical memory on their host.

Hi John!
I use VMware. I've created a RedHat 3.0 virtual machine and started it with 1 GB of RAM. Then I install EMGC and the local agent. I shutdown everything including the VM and edit its setting to come up with 512 MB.
Boot, start the GC and voila! it works. This is of course not a production ready system, but we have a working EMGC for a couple of machines (100+) on a 2 CPU with 4 GB in production.

What happened to online controls

No matter where I go or what I click on, all I get is something else that takes me to upgrade features. I'm as high as I can go and don't need any upgrades. I just want to manage phone controls online.

Sorry for the troubles with the site. Only FIOS Digital Voice customers can manage their calling features form online. Regular FIOS Voice customers are not able to do this. If you have the Digital Voice service, you can log in at www.verizon.com/fiosvoice to access your call logs and change calling features. If you try to log in to the site and you have our regular FIOS Voice, then you will be prompted to upgrade to the Digital Voice to be able to proceed. Sorry for the confusion this has caused.

What happened to my contact pictures in text messaging?

A couple of nights ago, my list of text conversations are not showing the contact's picture. When I go into a specific conversation, the picture is there, but not when I am in the whole list of conversations. Has anyone had this problem? I have tried resetting my phone to factory settings several times and that has not helped. Any suggestions?
I know that it is not a crucial part of a phone's operation, but gosh, it is really convenient to pick the person you want to send a text to by choosing their picture from the list of conversations...

You should check the DROID Incredible 2 by HTC section to see if there are similar discussions.

What happened to the Control M to minimize the iTunes to playback controls only?

I used to use Control+M to minimize iTunes to the playback controls only. This has disappeared with recent updates. The help files refer to a zoom control in the upper left corner of the iTunes window that does not exist. How do I regain the functionality of the playback only controls?

You may have discovered this in the last several months but I'm pretty sure the "control+m" shortcut was replaced with "control+shift+m"

Logic board failure in MBP purchased 5/2011? What happened to quality control?

This MBP has only been in the two houses that I live in and has never been utilized in my travels.
Has been in a hard case and never dropped.
I could see this in a cheap laptop but the MBP wasn't cheap to buy and now is not cheap to fix less than 14 months out from purchase.
Has the high resolution optional screen and otherwise utilized 4-5 times per week for short periods.
My 10 year old G4 iMac is still running strong while this paperweight is now out for repairs. Anybody seen similar issues?

Electronics aren't invincible and although Apple products tend to last a long time, things do happen (not always your fault). That's why Apple products have a one year warranty. You mentioned you'd had it less than 14 months. If you've had it less than a year than take it to Apple. If you've had it more than a year than hopefully you have AppleCare.
Good luck!
