Any secrets to get the center button working on a 5th gen?

Due to my wife using my 5g for solitare, my center button has stopped working. Everything else is still working great, but I can't navigate or play the music I want.
Any suggestions?

No there's not. As an example, when the Late 2006 version of the 5th Generation iPod was introduced it had a new search feature, this was not added retrospectively to the earlier model. The changes made to the iPod Classic and the other models are much more extensive than that one and no official firmware was ever released to update previous models.

Can't get the sound to work on my 5th Gen iPod 30gig movies

For some reason, every movie that I have on my iPod, mainly music videos, have no sound. I just bought this iPod and I am still learning how to use it, however I cannot find anything in the forums to help me troubleshoot this problem. Can anyone give me any pointers on how to get my sound to work with my movies? Thanks

Quicktime, Quicktime Pro and iTunes don't convert "muxed" ( muxed means multiplexed where the audio and video are stored on the same track) video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
See:iPod plays video but not audio.
You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.
See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

How to get the 'info' button working again in Spotlight?

The 'info' button to get info about an item in the search results window of Spotlight is no longer working for me. I have tried reindexing and trashing the preference file in the user library, with no luck. Any idea how to get this functionality back?
Thanks

I have the same problem after installing Safari 3, the more info icon in the spotlight results no longer works.

After my update to version 4, the back button now only seems to store the last page I was on rather than the last 10 like it used to before the update. I've scoured the options menu to no avail. How can I get the back button working like it used to?

The back button used to work many times before it would reach the end of its list of pages I had been to recently and became greyed out, but now it will only work once before this happens. Also, the list of pages that pops up when I right click it now only has two entries no matter how many pages I've visited on that tab, the page I am currently on and the page I most recently left. Previous to the installation of the update to version 4 however, the list that appeared when I right clicked on the back button contained up to 10 items.

Try the Firefox SafeMode. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most other Add-ons.''
# You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

How do I get the home button working again

The home button is no longer closing any open app, so to close anything that is open, I now have to do a hard shutdown and then reboot the iPad. You can imagine how much this cuts down on my use. It doesn't matter what app is open, I'm unable to close anything without shutting the iPad down entirely. Help please

You can use the "soft" Home button for the time being:
Settings>General>Accessibility>AssistiveTouch>ON

Any way to get the Magic Trackpad working in Windows 7?

Any suggestions?

I use MagicMouse on iMac with Windows 7 running (installed through BootCamp). Got sick of annoying horizontal scrolling. The solution described above has helped me to disable it. Here is what I've done in steps:
1) go to http://www.autohotkey.com/ and download an app (a script editor).
2) Install and run the program - please note that it will not open as it runs in the background
3) Rightclick on the desktop -> choose "New" -> "AutoHotkey Script" (a new script file will be created on the desktop) -> name it as you wish (e.g. "Mouse_HScroll")
4) Rightclick on the file you've just created and choose "Edit Script" from the menu.
5) Add these three lines below existing text in the file:
WheelLeft::return
WheelRight::return
#MaxHotkeysPerInterval 5000
6) Save file
7) Run "Convert .ahk to .exe" program from the package installed earlier and browse the file you've just created, hit ">Convert<" -> .exe file should be created. Run this file -> the scrolling should be disabled now.
7) You may wish to move this file to Start/"Autorun" folder, so it would be launched automatically each time you reboot your Mac/PC.
Hope this helps! Good Luck

Can you get the cover flow interface on a 5th gen classic Ipod?

any way to do this?

No there's not. As an example, when the Late 2006 version of the 5th Generation iPod was introduced it had a new search feature, this was not added retrospectively to the earlier model.

I have to press F11 to get the Send button to show on Office 365 since their upgrade. Any work arounds besides pressing f11

The send button used to show up on Outlook 365. Now I have to press f11 to get the send button to show up. This is a new problem, it used to work until about a week ago.

I think Outlook 365 had an update. When I open Outlook in Explorer, and click reply to a message, the Send, Discard, Insert buttons appear like normal. However, when I click reply in Firefox, the buttons scroll up and aren't visible until I press f11 to see them. It just started doing this.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
*Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
Another possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Issues with getting the slide button to work after upgrade to iOS 7.02 and 7.03

Ever since upgrading to iOS 7.02 and 7.03 having issues with getting the slide button to work to open up iPad 2. Happened last week and was able to restore it to new and get it to work again and it worked great until one week later (this morning) doing the same thing. Have tried restoring iPad to new 3 times (via itunes) and still unable to get the slide button to move so can use the iPad. IPad able to charge, able to restore, able to sync with itunes even able to recover but not able to get past first screen where you have to slide to access iPad. Any help would be greatly appeciated. Live about 300 miles from nearest Apple store.

I am beginning to wonder whether there isn't some weird problem with that Home button.
Try this: Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch = On
This will place a button on the iPad's screen.
You can move this button anywhere on the screen.
This button gives you - amongst many other things - a soft Home button.
To turn your iPad on, you can use the Sleep/wake button or move a small magnet across the bezel of the iPad where the volume controls are.
If you use the magnet, then: Settings > General > Lock / Unlock = On
Now should not need to press the Home button anymore.
If this method allows you to use your iPad without a hitch, then suspect hardware problems with the Home button.
