Dots instead of volume indicator?

I have done something to my ipod nano to show 5 dots at the bottom of the screen instead of the volume level and track progress. Does anyone know what I might have done and how to switch it back? Thanks.

You've selected the ratings screen by pressing the center button during playback.
Try pressing the center button a few times to toggle through the options available to you (scrubber, ratings, album art, lyrics, etc..)
If pressing the center button has no effect and the dots remain "stuck" on the screen, then what you're experiencing is a known bug and you'll want to upgrade your ipod to the newest firmware.

  • Dots instead of time/volume bar

    Every so often, my ipod nano will show a row of blue dots instead of the bar that shows the time that a track has been playing or the volume. It eventually goes away, but I'm not sure what I did to make it go away. Any suggestions as to what to do to get rid of the dots and make the time/volume bar come back?

    That is the rating screen - where you can rate from 0-5 stars for the song that is currently playing. Use the wheel to select the rating, the press the center button to return to the progress bar.
    Cheers!

  • I would like to read a text file in which the decimal numbers are using dots instead of commas. Is there a way of converting this in labVIEW, or how can I get the program to enterpret the figures in the correct way?

    The program doest enterpret my figures from the text file in the correct way since the numbers contain dots instead of commas. Is there a way to fix this in labVIEW, or do I have to change the files before reading them in the program? Thanks beforehend!

    You must go in the labview option menu, you can select 'use the local
    separator' in the front side submenu (LV6i).
    If you use the "From Exponential/Fract/Eng" vi, you are able to select this
    opton (with a boolean) without changing the labview parameters.

  • I wanna dots instead of displaying it as a whole line in Linechart

    Hi Folks,
    I had one small doubt in the output of this program. The program is related to LineChart..Actually, Im getting the output as Line in the chart, but my requirement is to display only dots instead of displaying as a line...
    I just want only displaying as dots at particular name, insteading of getting that whole line from beginning to end...
    First of all whether its posiible to get dots or not?? and if it is possible, how??

    It looks like you're using BasicStrokes to create dashed lines
    plot.getRenderer().setSeriesStroke(
        0,
        new BasicStroke(
            2.0f, BasicStroke.CAP_ROUND, BasicStroke.JOIN_ROUND,
            1.0f, new float[] {10.0f, 6.0f}, 0.0f
    plot.getRenderer().setSeriesStroke(
        1,
        new BasicStroke(
            2.0f, BasicStroke.CAP_ROUND, BasicStroke.JOIN_ROUND,
            1.0f, new float[] {6.0f, 6.0f}, 0.0f
    plot.getRenderer().setSeriesStroke(
        2,
        new BasicStroke(
            2.0f, BasicStroke.CAP_ROUND, BasicStroke.JOIN_ROUND,
            1.0f, new float[] {2.0f, 6.0f}, 0.0f
    ); Is this not what you want? If you want points instead of dashes you just specify *1f* for first argument in the float array
    new BasicStroke(...,...,...,...,new float[]{1f,6f},....); That indicates that you want the dashed regions to be ~1 pixel long - that is, a point - and the empty regions between the dashes to be ~6 pixels long.

  • All tools in Photoshop CS5 not moving smoothly (only making dots instead of lines)

    All my tools in Photoshop CS5, including the brush, eraser, healing brush, etc. are only making dots, instead of drawing smooth lines. When using the brush tool, for example, if I click down and drag my mouse to draw something, only the initial dot for where I clicked down gets colored in. Does anyone have any ideas as to why?

    Does anything jump out to you that could be causing this problem? Also, my lasso tool doesn't work properly as I can't drag anywhere. The move tool also doesn't work properly. I can click down and drag a layer, but after I release my click, the layer moves back to its previous position. The only way to move any layers is by free-transforming them.

  • Brush is making dots instead of a line

    Last night in CS5 I was playing with the opacity and spacing of the brush, and now I can't get back to a normal brush.
    I want just a normal stroke, but the brush is making lots of transparent dots instead.
    I've switched to Photoshop Elements 7 for now and everything is fine there, it's only CS5. 

    Have you tried choosing a different brush preset? (With the Brush tool selected, right-click on your canvas and choose something from the list)
    Have you tried resetting the Brush tool? (right-click the brush tool icon in the upper left, next to all the options, and choose "Reset Tool")

  • When formatting a date field in a where clause the template put dot instead of comma

    Hello to Headstart Workers !

    - We created it using the HS utilities.
    - "nls_numeric_character = ,.".
    - it onky happen when the field date is not the first field in the where clause.
    - i can see the problem just after pressing find button, already in the ls_block in last_query.
    - the find_query works normally but cannot edit any line in ls_block.
    Hope that i had helping

  • HP Pavilion dv7-3170ez: volume indicator not showing when setting volume

    Hi
    I own a Pavilion dv7-3170ez, and when I change volume using the volume touch-slider on top of the keyboard, volume is adjusted accordingly but no volume indicator appears on the screen.
    Previously, while setting volume, a speaker icon with a slider popped out in the middle of the screen showing current volume level.
    I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium and both Windows Update and HP update shows that I have latest version of software. Also, I've the latest version of the BIOS installed.
    As a side note: the touch buttons on top (volume, speaker and wireless enable, etc.) stopped working a few days after the volume indicator disappeared, I fixed that by plugging off power and disconnectiong battery for a while. Still, the indicator is yet not showing. Not sure if this is related (I guess not).
    Thanks

  • Volume indicator / buttons problem on iPhone 4

    I am experiencing a weird problem ever since I got my iPhone 4. The problem is that the Ringer Volume Indicator keeps popping up on the screen without touching any buttons. When it happens I can only either decrease or increase the volume - only one button functions.
    I tried restoring, updating, resettings, and almost everything else but nothing worked.
    It works fine for a couple of hours then the problem appears, but after a while everything seems to go back to normal and so on and so forth.
    here is a video that shows my problem:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9r0MN36pF8o
    I don't know if it's a hardware or software problem.
    Any one can help please?

    I thought so in the beginning, but the problem is not permenant. It happens frequently and every time it behaves differently.
    Check my othe video:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miChMRU3voE
    It just happens for several time, then everything is back to normal for a certain time.

  • [SOLVED] How Can I Add a Simple Volume Indicator to Panel?

    I've managed to get an XFCE de up and running and sound is working as well as keyboard shortcuts. I don't get any splash message to tell me the volume levels, neither do I have any indicator in the panel. How do I get any feedback on my current sound level without having to start the mixer?
    I've had a look around and I think I have mixer plugins installed, yet I don't have a suitable items to add in the "Add New Items" dialog.
    Xubuntu has and indicator, that would be good enough for me but I don't know how.
    I'd appreciate any help
    (The fact that I got this far without posting on the forums shows how amazing the Wiki is! Thanks for that and ArchLinux. It's so much fun)

    Thanks for the prompt replies.
    I had Mixer installed and when you told me it was the right app I played around with it some more and realised that I had to select the right sound card for the applet to show the volume. When I first added it the only functionality seemed to be that it opened mixer when I clicked on it.
    I tried volwheel as well, both work great. I guess it's personal preference from here.

  • WHY! is my brush suddenly painting in dots instead of strokes?

    how do i get rid of the dots?
    thanks

    You've accidentally selected dissolve instead of Normal in your brush settings on your tool bar?
    Or if it's spaces then your spacing been altered in your brush tip shape options on your brush pallet.
