Apple Remote Menu button not working on 80gb Classic iPod

The subject pretty much sums it up, I tested the Menu button with Frontrow and it works as expected...is my dock broken or is the iPod bad?
Thanks for your suggestions.

Wow. So, they sell it with a device that is made for iPods.
They put a button on it that reads "Menu", just like the button on the iPod, but doesn't provide the same function, in fact, no function at all, while it would be great if it HAD this function.
Interesting. I don't think even Microsoft would dare to pull this one off.
It's tricky, but anyone who can sell me this non functional button as a "feature, not a bug" is definetely on their way to a great career start...salesman, Apple spokesperson, politics

Title & Menu Buttons not working correctly on remote control/ set top player but work in preview.

Title & Menu Buttons not working correctly on remote control/ set top player but work in encore preview. This only happens for a Blu ray project. When a user presses the menu button it should go to the previous menu they were on but it goes to the main menu. When they press the title button they should go to the main menu but it doesn't do anything. My DVD projects work as expected.I've tried creating a new "test" project with different footage and still get the same undesirable results.
Overrides grayed out and set to "not set" for timelines and menus.Project settings and build are set to blu ray. Also I've noticed when I preview a Bluray project the preview window shows a red colored disc next to the Title button when viewing the timelines and green when playing the menus but not so for a DVD project it displays red if motion menus and or timelines are not rendered/encoded. I'm not using motion menus and all the media is encoded according to the project specs.
I've searched this forum but couldn't find the answer. Any help or redirects to a solution would be appreciated. Working with CS5. Thanks.

I found out on my Samsung Blu ray player the remote has a tools button on it that brings up audio, angle, chapter selection etc.and also title selection which is actually the menus and the timelines unfortunately. It's not as easy or direct as last menu selected but it's a workaround at least. I also plan on using a pop up menu. I'll let you know.

Sub menu buttons not working on mobiles

Why are my sub menu buttons not working on mobile phones but working fine on computers?
Sub menu buttons come under these buttons, Our funerals services, Advice and information.

You are using a Spry menubar widget. Spry was created pre-touch-screen systems and hence not designed for touch screens.
There are a number of solutions available to you
1. Don't have an active link on the main menu item
2. Place submenus in the page that is opened by the main menu item, e.g. as a vertical menu
3. Use Spry Menu Bar ver 2.0
3. Use a different menu system that is geared to accommodate touch screens
Because of the demise of Spry, see here http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/2012/08/update-on-adobe-spry-framework-availability.htm l, option 3 looks like the best option.
There are a number of free-of-charge jQuery menubars, you could also opt for one of the commercial menubars such as PVII, WebAssist or DMXZone

Menu button not working

I've got a 6gb mini, had it since Sept 05. Yesterday the menu button stopped working, so I can't choose what music it plays, it only plays on shuffle as I can't get back up. I haven't done anything to it so I wondered what to do. I got my iPod in the US but I live in the UK. I bought the Applecare Protection Plan when I got it but forgot to enroll it, so I don't know if it's still valid. It should still be covered under the protection but I don't know if I've left it too late to register it. What do I do?

If doing a Restore and reset do not help, very likely a hardware issue
In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ at your own risk

Menu buttons not working in Apple DVD Player

I am having a real problem. I have a menu with three buttons. The default button takes you either of the other buttons (depending on whether you press right or down on the remote). These two buttons are auto-action and proceed imediately to other tracks. This works perfectly in home DVD players and in the Apple DVD Player using the "remote". Howver, if I try clicking the buttons using a mouse on the Apple DVD Player window, they DO NOT work! I have buttns over video on the same disc and these work perfectly by clicing on them with the mouse. Has anyone else had a problem like this and if so, have you found a solution? Many thanks!

Is the one that doesn't work a layered menu? DVD Player does not work correctly with layered menus, it takes one click to switch to the selected state, and a second click to activate the button.

Menu buttons not working/highlighting on burned DVD

Hi all,
So, I'm encountering a problem with my iDVD 7.1.1 project. When I burn a DVD of my project and play it in my BluRay DVD player (It's a new LG), the menus on the first screen that come up work fine, but once I go to any menu off those, the highlight button color and button effect flash a few times on my first option (which, in this case, is "play movie") and then disappear. I have a few other options in that same menu and I can't highlight any of them. After about 5 or 10 seconds of pressing the select button on my remote, I can sometimes get the first "play movie" option to work, and my movie will start playing. The project I've created works fine when I save it to a disc image, mount it on my computer, and play it in DVD Player- I can navigate perfectly through all my menus and all button highlighting works properly. It also works perfectly previewing it in iDVD. Per advice on the board, I've burned a DVD-R at 4x write speed with Toast, using the Disc Copy option and reading from my mounted image file DVD. Media is Memorex. I've encoded the DVD project at Professional Quality. I suppose it could be an issue with my player, so I'm going to attempt to use another DVD player later today and see what happens. Does anyone have any other suggestions or things I can try?
Thanks in advance,
Evan

For anyone else that may encounter this problem, I found a solution on the boards that another user (colorgrader1) discovered: it has to do with static menus being set to a timed loop duration:

If you set the loop time to "0 seconds," the problem is fixed and the DVD will play in standalone DVD players.

Menu Buttons not working

I have produced a DVD from movies made in imovie HD 6.0.3 using iDVD version 6.0.4 and find that the buttons cannot all be selected by the DVD player remote control and also the buttons do not appear to be navigated in the correct order. I would appreciate some advive, please.

Different themes seem to work differently, but in general I have found that the buttons in iDVD created DVDs don't always behave like commercial DVDs in respect to what happens when I hit buttons on my DVD player remote. It been that way as long as I remember.
iDVD includes MANY simplifying assumptions that make things easier for home users. If you want full control of what the menu buttons do, you need something like DVD Studio Pro. Most of us just live with the 'quirks'.

Menu button not working on iphone4

The lower menu button has stopped working on the iphone 4. Anyway to fix it or do we have to buy a new phone?

"I can't do the manual reboot as that requires you to be able to press menu which I can't do."
Are you sure? Have to actually tried holding the MENU and SELECT buttons to reset it? Sometimes this works even though the menu button doesn't appear to work otherwise.
If it's not working though, you might try restoring it.

Menu button not working on ipod

My ipod isn't happy... It's a 4th generation 20gb click wheel model and I've had it for about 6 months. For some reason on the click wheel the 'menu' button will not react when I try and press it which means I am pretty much stuck for navigating around my ipod. I can't do the manual reboot as that requires you to be able to press menu which I can't do. Any ideas?

Encore Remote Preview Buttons Not Working in Preview Mode

I have had this annoying problem on several ocassions and it's back again. I have never been able to figure out what causes it.
When in the prview mode to test the DVD compliation to see if the remote buttons will change between the menu buttons I created, I am unable to select any of the three buttons in the menu with the remote selector at the bottom of the preview window. I am able to select them with a mouse click but not with the remote buttons meaning that when the DVD is built, a real reomte will not change the titles that are associated with each button.
What can be causing this to keep happening. The compilation in Encore is a linked composition form Premier CS4--both Encore and Premier are CS4.
Please help please.
Thanks!!

I know this post is old, but I found it as I am having the same issue. Encore CS5. I have a menu that I have 9 buttons layed out, near the bottom, and the previous/next and main menu buttons are near the top. The 9 on the bottom are each numbers 1-9. However when I preview it starts at 1 then pressing right arrow does not jump to number 2 but #11, the "next" arrow button on top of page.
I will post a screen shot with buttons 1-9 hilighted, showing they are not touching, and the button routing turned on.
Any thoughts?
I guess I will make a new menu and see if I just need to reuild it.

Layered menu buttons not working when built.

I have a project that has one menu and one track. The menu has 7 buttons linked to 7 different markers in the track. When I run the simulation in DVD SP, the buttons link fine, and play as they should...but when I build the project and run it in DVD player or burn it to a disk, the buttons do not work.
If I create a non-layered menu, the buttons will work when built...
I feel like i'm just missing one little setting on the layered menu
Thanks
Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Don't forget that a layered menu will normally need two presses to get anything to happen, one to select the button and the second to activate it.
That said, are you sure that you have got the psd file set up correctly? I would recommend using a background layer with everything on it that you want to appear when not selected, then only adding layers with the changes necessary to show the button selection/activation.

S110 menu button not working

Hi,
We're on our honeymoon and been taking good pictures without any problems with Canon S110 until yesterday. The camera suddenly has the following problems:
1. turn on normally but then immediately taking one photo no matter what mode it's on.
2. once the single photo was taken, the camera completely freeze except the display button working and the delete button (working but not be able to select delete)
3. shutter button and zoom in or out is completely useless
3. MENU button is NOT working at all
We have been trying the following:
- new fully charged batterry
- new SD card
- turn off and remove both battery and SD card overnight
It's very frustrated and we only have this camera on this trip. Please help!!!

Just registered to report my solution.
I have a similar problem with the PowerShot S110 of my wife's sister.
At some time a menu button and all joystick buttons stop working.
The problem was because of sticking zoom control (yeah it's very stupid).
At the normal state zoom control must return to central position!
When zoom control is on the left or right position - some buttons don't work.
I hope this info will be usefull to someone.

Iphone menu button not working takes several clicks to change menu

I can push on off button, and keep pushing menu button and will finally change, but doesn't just click to change anymore. Just started this today, I just got the phone when verizon came out with it in Feb. so is still new. What can I do?

Just happened or ? I found this in iphone manual :
If something isn’t working right, try restarting iPhone, force quitting an app, or resetting iPhone.
Restart iPhone:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

Sky+ HD remote - certain buttons not working

My remote has suddenly stopped working properly. the following buttons aren't working : TV guide, sky, select, i, and the directional buttons. pretty annoying so has anyone got an idea how to fix it please?

IDoes the light on the remote or the box flash when you press any of the buttons you mentioned if not you may want to try resetting the remote.See below.
As the title says how to reprogram Sky remotes (and reset them to factory defaults which can cure non operating remotes. All remotes have at least 8 different modes (HD have 12). Obviously standard remotes do not have the Sky+ function buttons but recordings can be played from the planner by highlighting and pressing "Select" twice and stopped by pressing "Backup" - no pause, FF, Rewind or Record buttons (but recordings can be set from pressing "record" on the box.
For most remotes Version 4 and later (white label inside battery cover)
1 Press "TV"
2 Press and hold "Select" and "Yellow" together until red led in remote end flashes twice (On HD remotes "Select" and "i" together) - if it doesn't flash twice then remote cannot be reprogrammed (clone or too old)
3 Press "0" to operate standard box, "1" for Sky+ and on HD remotes "2" for HD - remotes in Sky+ mode will normally control HD boxes as well
4 Press "Select" - red led should flash twice
5 Press "Sky" and away you go
Any remote in Sky+ mode will also operate HD boxes BUT this can be stopped in some remote and box combinations in the following way (it certainly works on Amstrad DRX890) boxes but NOT Thomson HD boxes)
1 Press "TV"
2 Press and hold "Select" and "Blue" together until red led in remote end flashes twice - if it doesn't flash twice then remote cannot be reprogrammed (clone or too old)
3 Press "1"- There are 4 different modes here 0, 1, 2, 3
4 Press "Select" - red led should flash twice
5 Press "Sky" and away you go
In above to return remote to operating both in step 3 press "0"
