Play won't stop at menu

I built a menu based on a sample and set it for "stop" after the "first play" in the flow chart, but the preview and burned DVD go straight to the first menu item without showing or stopping at the menu. The "return to menu" test remote button goes right to the menu. I've tried different end settings for the menu - stop, default, last menu -- but it always just rolls through like a "play all". What am I missing?

Can you please post a screen-shot of your Flowchart, showing the linking, and also the Properties Panel for you Menu, and for the Buttons on the Menu.
Fist, you do not want the End Action of a Menu to be Stop, as that will stop the DVD player, and one can never get past that Menu. If you have left Stop on for the Menu, but have checked the Hold Forever, you should be fine.
The Menu will only link Timelines via the Buttons. The Menu can be set to Hold Forever, which is what I assume that you want - the Menu will display, and will stay displayed, until the user makes a selection via choosing a Button. Is that correct?
Good luck, and let us know more about what you have done with your linking and your Properties.

Here's the Hold Forever checkbox:

IPhone won't stop playing - it's possesed!

Every time I use the ipod functionality on my iPhone, the player goes completely haywire. It starts skipping tracks on it's own, and is completely unresponsive and won't stop playing. When I relaunch the application (by holding the home button), the ipod functionality relaunches itself and continues its fun game. When I reset, the same thing happens. A restore solved the problem (for an hour). Any suggestions?
Bonus * Does the same thing during video playback.
iPhone Mac OS X (10.4.10)

You may have a defective unit especially if the same occurred shortly after a complete restore.
Contact AppleCare or if there is an Apple Store nearby, I would head that way.

HT4363 Have content of iTunes on both Appletvs but can only play on one. Tv menu won't let me choose both locations. How do I correct this? ITunes Home Sharing is on. Multiple Airplay is on from the iTunes menu, too.

Have content of iTunes on both Appletvs but can only play on one. Tv menu won't let me choose both locations. How do I correct this? ITunes Home Sharing is on. Multiple Airplay is on from the iTunes menu, too. Thanks, Taking too long to get music!

If you have all your music on the cmputer then i would connect up my phone uncheck the Sync Music option and apply.
This should take all the music off your phone .Then you can resync the music back on to it.
If this doesn't work maybe a restore to factory settings and start from scratch is the way to go

Streaming audio data won't stop unless I turn off the phone for 5 minutes.

I have been testing the Curve 8330 regarding streaming audio from an icecast server. The address of the station is http://www.AirProgressive.org, click on "listen". (I have already run this by the icecast experts and they say it is a Blackberry "bug")
BLACKBERRY USERS! PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THE STREAM (dataflow) DOES NOT STOP WHEN YOU CLICK "STOP" ON THE MEDIA PLAYER! (and will continue for as long as you leave it on, and even if you turn off your BB for less than 5 Minutes.) I'm not sure if you are charged for these streams, but it seems that the battery is depleted rapidly if this continues without aborting it. See details of my testing below:
> Access icecast stream by clicking on the link on the website:
     http://www.airprogressive.org:8000/stream.m3u
> Stream consists of mp3 at 32kbps / 22050 Hz.
> Stock media player launches, stops at "Do you want to open or save the item."
    > No connections started yet (viewing "List Clients" page of icecast admin interface).
> Click "open", stream begins playing.
> Two connections are started instead of just one, always offset by 2 seconds.
    -- but sometimes only one connection starts.
> FYI, Icecast config: <client-timeout>30</client-timeout>
Here is the output from the "List Clients" page of Icecast2 Admin

I can understand that the player may continue to communicate when "stopped" to fill the lookahead buffer, but when it is restarted, it should use the same connection and not start a new one.

So, to stop the streaming server from communicating with the Blackberry handset, you must either turn it off or disable mobile network for at least 5 minutes.
It appears that the handset continues to transfer data (and therefore incur charges, if the user does not have an unlimited data plan) if the handset is not turned off or mobile network disabled for at least five minutes. It also runs down the battery much faster because the radio transmitter is actively being used, even if the user is not listening to the stream.
The Blackberry network has intervening servers that continue to receive data from the streaming server even if the handset is off. This behavior likely has utility to deal with the realities of the cellphone network, to allow the stream to be transferred from one cell to another, and deal with the possibility that the handset may be out of range for up to 5 minutes without "interruption." However, it is hard to turn off the stream.
QUESTIONS:
1. Is there a way to stop this sort of behavior using a configuration setting or something? It seems particularly stupid to start a new stream connection each time a STOP/START cycle is completed, allowing the old connections to continue streaming data (even if the data does not make it to the handset).
2. IS IT TRUE that the user will be "charged" for the data streams that are not disconnected?
3. Is there a way for a developer to send a signal to the intervening cellphone network to discontinue the orphan streams?
THANKS!!

No, I'm using something like this :
to start...
                   channel = new SoundChannel();
                                        soundPlay = new Sound();
                                        urlReq=new URLRequest;
                                        urlReq.url=mylUrl; // url of radio mp3
                                        soundPlay.load(urlReq);
                   channel = soundPlay.play();
to stop it...
                      channel.stop();
                      channel=null;
                      try{soundPlay.close();} catch (e:Error) {} // error or not, the sream won't stop.
Any idea ? Did you try with a NetStream object ?

Set end jump to stop, still won't stop...

I have a 20 minute dvd program with no menus that is set to play upon insertion. Set chapter 1 end jump to stop - didn't stop. Added a chapter 2 marker in black at the end of the program and set its end jump to stop - still won't stop. Read the other threads that suggest I do what I've already done. Tried both in simulator and burned discs and played in my DVD player -- program just keeps looping. Thanks for any help...

Personally, I wouldn't put the end jump on the marker - I would set it for the track. You can end jump to a script if you need, which simply reads:
Exit
(which I guess is what you are already doing). However, if you are putting an end-jump on a marker, make sure it is not placed at the very end of the track. If you have a marker just on the section of black, then set the end jump of the marker before to go to your script. This earlier marker finishes where the next marker starts, so you should exit before the black section.
If you exit in this manner, then pressing play on the remote should re-start the disc from the beginning again, but the track should not loop. Are you seeing the loop on a software or hardware player?
It is, as you say, a simple task. I cannot get the track to loop if I end jump to an exit script, so I am not at all sure why you would be seeing this behaviour.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
I have seen a lot of cases like your issue, and it's easy to solve.
First, open Disk Utility, select Macintosh HD in the sidebar and repair permissions. Sometimes, a permission can be damaged and it makes that an application doesn't work properly.
If that doesn't work, open Finder, select Go menu > Go to Folder, type ~/Library/Prefereces, delete "com.apple.desktop.plist" and "com.apple.systempreferences.plist" and restart

HP 7520 won't stop printing

Hi,
I have an HP 7520 with two issues occurring at once: it won't stop printing and it won't connect to web services. This is a recent problem.
I've read through the various self-help posts, but I can't get the printer to stop printing (or the message screen to stay in menu mode) long enough to select the tools menu.
All the pages keep printing with only one line, which reads "CONNECT xmpp008.hpeprint.com:80 HTTP/1.0".
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
KMK

Hello @klauskokott ,
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand that your printer can't connect to the Web Services.
I would like to help.
It sounds like the printer is making a partial contention to the servers.
Just enough of a connection to cause it to try and print the web services information page, but not enough to actually print the page and confirm the connection. This would be why is keeps trying to print the web services page, but you instead get the weird 'CONNECT xmpp008.hpeprint.com:80 HTTP/1.0'.
I would first try resetting the network.
Simply turn your printer and other network devices off.
Unplug the power to the router for at least one minute.
Plug the power back into the router and turn on your network devices.
If that does not resolve the issue, try setting a manual DNS.
The following reply by happytohelp01 has instructions for setting the manual DNS.
It is for a 7510, but the process will be very similar.
Efax 7510 still won't work after turning off/on ePrint several times
Pleas let me know how things work out, or let me know if you need any further help.

Flash won't stop looping

I have imported a 4 second SWF into Captivate 4. I want it to play through once then stop on the last frame of the SWF. The SWF has a stop embedded on the last frame. The problem is; it won't stop, but keeps on looping right through the SWF stop. I tried placing a 'Next' button with a "Pause after n seconds" on it and used varying intervals from 1 to 5 seconds for the pause to take effect but, you guessed it, the SWF just keeps on a-rolling along. The screen does stay put and does not continue until the 'Next' button is clicked - but I'm trying to get the SWF to play nice, and it won't!
It seems to be the opposite problem to this post > http://forums.adobe.com/thread/607598 where they want to keep it looping, but it stops instead. Unfortunately there's no answer in this post so I can't reverse engineer a solution!
Caviat: A colleague created the swf to my spec and I'm assuming they did in fact put the stop where requested. Will post an update if they did not do this.

Your mismatched timing might be due to the frame rate of the Flash SWF not matching the frame rate of the Captivate movie.
Check with your Flash developer again to find out what the frame rate was (e.g. 30 frames per second). Get him to match it to the Captivate project.
The issue with Flash animations needing to be on the main timeline has been documented before in these forums. It wasn't an issue in Cp4 but has become so in Cp5 because the new architecture actually loads all the animations at the beginning of the movie. This means that by the time you reach the slide where you want the animation to play, it's already played long before. This only affects SWF animation that have buried the animation inside a symbol, which is what Flash developers often do to make it all easier to resize and reposition as needed. When the animation is happening one level down from the main timeline, you can trigger this animation to work properly in Captivate 5 by using some ActionScript in the Flash animation's main timeline. Here's how:
Create your animation as a symbol on a single keyframe so that the animation happens on the level one level down from the main timeline.
Give the animation symbol an instance name (e.g. Fred).
Add a new layer to the main timeline for ActionScript. You're only going to need two frames on the main timeline with keyframes on each one.
Put a stop(); action on the second frame so that it stops the main timeline.
On the first keyframe put this code or similar: Fred.gotoAndPlay(1);
What happens here is that when the Captivate SWF loads it will load your animation and start playing it but it will be stopped at the second frame of the main timeline. When it gets to the slide where you want it to play, it will begin playing again, hit the first frame and then the AS code there will tell the Fred animation to play from its first frame. Hopefully there will be a stop action on its own timeline to terminate it as well.
I've had to use this trick several times when trying to use the Right_Mark and Wrong_Mark tick and cross SWF animations that come with Captivate 5. They've obviously not been updated to work properly since the change from Cp4.
Hope this helps.

I have no idea if this would work.

AIR for Android: Streaming audio data won't stop unless I quit....

I write an application (AIR-Android with Flash Builder) which can play internet radio stations (streamed audio in mp3).
When I want to stop the stream like myChannel.stop() / mySound.close(); the sound is stopping but the stream is still loading (I can see it with a network monitor app).
Streaming audio data won't stop unless I quit the application or I switch my connection from WIFI to 3G or from 3G to WIFI.
I do not have this problem with Air for Mac and IOS.
How can I solve this problem ?

Hi Chris,
I received a response from a certain Wang Zhe (from Adobe) about this bug.
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3070987
It should provide an example of his test that apparently it worked but I have still no answer from him.
Is it possible to contact him directly?

Sync won't stop on iPad.

And, iTunes now won't open on any of my devices. I tried to update iTunes to version 11 on my new Mac Mavericks and that's when this problem began. New download would not open. So, I went back to my old Windows 7 Laptop to update my iPad, Mini and Touch. What a mess I created! Mini won't stop syncing, iPad cannot load iTunes and my Touch is in the same boat...no iTunes. Previously, I updated just fine with the Laptop. What did I do wrong?

Hi Try a, reboot, press & hold power button & menu, button, hold both down until you see Apple Logo. Before you do Reboot, Sign out, of itunes on ipad then sign, back in this may help. Cheers Brian

Hard drive sounds-- won't stop running

We have a brand new 24" aluminum Intel-equipped iMac with the only upgrade being 2 gig of RAM. After being on for a while and after a few programs have launched, the hard drive starts clicking continuously, like it is continually trying to access the same area without success. It won't stop until we shut it down. While it is doing this, all programs launch fine and everything seems to work.
We have four other Macs (all a little older than this) and we never hear the hard drive on these. Perhaps they are doing the same thing and we just don't hear them? Our iMac is on most of the day, and I just worry it's not going to last long continuously making that hard drive clicking.
Any ideas? Thanks.

I would start by opening up Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor and see if you can narrow down what process is running. It could be any number of things from Spotlight indexing, Time Machine, cron tasks, or some other application checking for updates. Change the pull down menu to show all processes and click on the CPU tab to sort the processes by CPU usage.
http://ftp.georgetek.com/George/Activity_Monitor.png
Usually if a drive is clicking because of bad blocks your system will become very slow accessing data. You can test the drive to see if it is indeed failing.
1. Open up Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility select your hard drive on the left then look at the details at the bottom of the window and see if the SMART status is Verified. Next click on Verify Disk under the First Aid tab.
2. If you have Apple Care install TechTool Deluxe from the disk that comes with your Apple Care box. Launch TechTool then under options select Surface Scan and Run the test. If you think your drive might be failing then I highly recommend that you backup all of your data before running this test.
