Free Yourself from the Play Button!
Hi all!
One of the annoying things I've found with Breeze is having
to repeatedly click the "play" button as I advance through a large
presentation. After a while, your mouse pointer can easily drift
off that little button. Here's a quick workaround which allows you
to click anywhere in your presentation and get the same effect:
Make a blank Flash module and add this code to frame one:
_root.m_contentView.onRelease = function () {
_root.m_controlBar.m_playBtn.onRelease();
...that's it! Now, just stick the *.swf module on the first
slide of your PPT presentation, and compile it to Breeze. Click
anywhere on the "stage" to get the same effect as clicking the play
button (your control bar and side bar will work as usual). There is
a downside to this, though: it overrides any interactive items
(buttons, Flash modules, quiz questions, etc.) you may already have
in your presentation.
Cheers!
~Marc B
Only if the last button the user clicked on WAS the
play/pause button. Many of our users, familiar with the PPT
interface, have indicated that they would like the ability to click
anywhere to advance. They'd also like to right-click to move
backward one animation (also like PPT), but that requires a bit
more coding.
You have fun, too!

I downoland game Zombi Farma for free but I paid 239 dkk.
Here is answer from The Play Forge:
Hi Anna,
first of all, please check your receipt again,
if you've purchased anything else during the period it might appear as if it's related to Zombie Farm (Apples receipts are a bit hard to read to be honest.)
If this is indeed not the case and you have indeed not purchased anything from us, yet have been charged 239 DKK, there's obviously a big issue.
However, we're not in charge of the money handled in purchases, as Apple has chosen to be the only one controlling this.
As such you'll have to contact Apples support to get help with refunds.
You'll find it at http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
We're sorry for any inconvenience this has caused you. :/

How can I prevent Aperture from playing slideshow when hitting the play button on the keyboard?
I am getting a bit frustrated by the fact that the play button on the keyboard, which I use all the time for controlling audio playback in iTunes and now Spotify, is assigned to starting the slideshow in Aperture. Playing a slideshow is something I never use, and is something that causes the beachball of death to appear every time. It does not make sense to me that the slideshow overrules the audio playback in iTunes. Help is much appreciated...
In Aperture the keyboard shortcuts are defined in the Command Editor.
To open the Command Editor, go to the Aperture menu -> Commands -> Customize
and in the search field enter "slideshow". Remove or replace the key binding you find there, if it is the one you want to use in iTunes. -
Hello Friends,
I've two iPod Nanos (4th gen - 8GB). I'm facing a severe problem with both of them. For both iPods, I tried to do this method Simultaneously press the top button + home (central) button. But of no use.
1. My first iPod is showing a white screen. I could not see anything. But I can listen to songs by blindly pressing the play button twice. The battery comes only for an hour.? How do I get the display and longer battery?
2. My second iPod is facing more severe problem. None of the buttons are working. When I connect it my PC it showing "CONNECTED- eject before disconnecting". But it is not ejecting with all the usual methods. When I manually and physically disconnect it from the PC the same "CONNECTED- eject before disconnecting" is still showing till the battery goes off. After that if i press any button it is showing low battery signal. And when i re-connect it to the PC the same process is repeating. When I tied to restore it to the factory settings I'm getting "Error" report.
(I'm using windows 7)
Friends, Please help me with the above problems. It will be a great help.
Thank You.
R.SAMALASounds like some hardware issues, meaning you'll want to take or send the iPods in for service or repairs. You can choose to have Apple do an out of warranty exchange for the prices indicated in the link below or find another third party service perhaps even local to your area.

I have downloaded free apps from the apple App Store but each time they charge me 8 dollars for a free app. A free app shoud be free to download . How do I get my money back?
iOS is the operating system for iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad. Your Mac runs on OS X. You have installed OS X 10.10.2 Yosemite.
I have the most recent version of the Kindle app for Mac from the Mac App Store (MAS) v. 1.10.6 and it works fine. Look again in the MAS for the Kindle app, does it say Get or Open on the button?
Are you confusing Kindle for Mac with Kindle for iOS. The iOS version won't run on your Mac. -
Has the play button in album view stopped working?
The play button in album view doesn't work. Hasn't worked for the last two releases. I'm on iTunes 11.1.1. Apple suggested reloading all of my CDs. (Not a viable solution--there are hundreds of them...) They thought it might have something to do with recent changes related to AppleID/iCloud. Also unable to add entire album to up next list. I am able to play from songs view.
Never mind. Found the answer here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21484039#21484039

I cannot activate the play button on a video in firefox using the keyboard
I am blind and use a screen-reader called JAWS For Windows to navigate the internet. Because I am blind I cannot use a mouse and rely on the keyboard to navigate and interact with web pages. I tend to play a lot of video for business reasons. I can, using internet explorer, navigate to and press the play button in websites such as Youtube. However this is not possible using firefox. I sometimes have occasion to use video download helper and in order to download I have to play the video first and unless there is someone around who can click the play button with a mouse I cannot do this. Any ideas? I have tried on two different computers, 1 is a netbook running IE8 with Windows 7 starter edition and the other is a desktop running Windows XP Home SP3. I would much prefer to be using firefox on a permanent basis as it also gives me access to a plugin which deals with Captcha Images.
If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible:
*"View > Toolbars"
Open the Customize window to set which toolbar items to display:
*View > Toolbars > Customize
*Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout
*Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

HT204370 What can I do if the PLAY button for a movie rental doesn't play?
Help! What to do? Wanted to watch rented movie again within the 24 hour time and the play button doesnt play?!
You should be able to select Force Quit from the menu beneath the Apple icon in Finder
and choose to Quit iPhoto from there, without messing up the Mac OS X in the process.
OS X - Support
Not sure if rebuilding the iPhoto library would help this issue. However if you had to
turn off the computer without the correct method (unplug, etc; instead of menu choice)
the system may have accrued damages and should be checked, maybe repaired by
use of the Disk Utility in the system. Or restart the computer in Safe Boot mode, then
run 'repair disk permissions' while it is running in that reduced mode; then restart after.

http://computers.tutsplus.com/tutorials/understanding-safe-mode--mac-59897
•OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
Suggestions on how to use Safe Mode in article, to resolve issues, may be helpful.
There likely are other means to rectify troublesome applications, including reinstall.
Be sure to backup your music, image, video, and other work on an external drive
or suitable device as a precaution against loss should there be a hard drive failure.

I can't link up the play button in Encore
I just want one button, THE PLAY Button.
The project has no errors and will allow a build.
Then When I add a button It will not link.If you added a background, you must have a menu. So I'm going to assume you have the very basic question of how you link a button to a timeline. See screenshots.
On the left is the project panel, with a menu, an asset (the video file with the .wmv extension), and a timeline. The middle panel is the menu viewer, where one of the buttons is selected. The right panel is the properties panel where you can see the properties of the selected object, here a button.
In the first screenshot, the section for "Link" is empty. In the second screenshot, you can see that the "pickwhip" has been used to drag from the link to the timeline. (You link to a timeline, not to the asset.) In the third screenshot, you can see the button properties for link, now shows the timeline.

Function of the PLAY button versus the ENTER button
Hello gang,
I had a quick DVD / DVDSP related question that I've been trying to get a definitive answer for, and I've had great luck and some very helpful responses over in the Final Cut forum so I figured I'd give it a shot.
Anyways, I'm editing some video and authoring a DVD for a group who intend to make an instructional DVD. It's divided into about five chapters and each one begins with some sort of voiceover and text/graphics. In the opening segment of the DVD, there is a voiceover that explains the way to navigate through the DVD and select chapters, etc. etc. The voiceover has already been written and recorded, but I have some concerns about the power they have designated for the "Play" button. Here is an excerpt:
"We use the PLAY button in a couple of ways: to select and play an item that is currently highlighted in a list of items on the screen..."
and also:
"Almost all DVD remotes have a set of buttons that are arranged like a set of arrows (or triangles) pointing to the top, bottom, right and left of the remote control. These keys are used to move the selection pointer on menus presented on the screen. When an item is selected, it is highlighted to distinguish it from the other items in the list that are not selected. Once you have moved the selection point to the item you want, push the PLAY button to actually select and begin playback on that item."
Now here is my concern– I was under the impression that the "Enter" button was typically used to select menu items, etc. I decided to test this on some commercial DVDs I had lying around, and it seems that the Play button does in fact work to select items. I had always assumed it was assigned just one specific role, for example playing the main title on a DVD.
I looked it up in the DVDSP manual and this is all I found:
"A button is selected when the viewer navigates to
it. Only one button at a time can be in the selected state. The selected button becomes
activated when the viewer presses the remote control’s Enter button. Depending on the
button type, highlights or layers are used to indicate each button’s state."
I couldn't find anything regarding the function of the Play button. I suppose my question is this: do these instructions sound okay? Are they universal? Can the Play button be used to select menu items on EVERY DVD player? I am only really stressing about this because this DVD is being targeted towards senior citizens, many of whom have extremely limited knowledge of DVD technology. I'd like to come up with the most universal, simple, and solid instructions for navigation through the DVD.
Okay, thank you in advance. I appreciate any comments or advice you might be able to offer.
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)Ah yes, Jake, but which UOP? Surely, you've seen me address this issue of there not being a Play UOP before?
The project can be set up for Play to be Enter on a very high percentage of players, but it would be good with Christopher’s project to get the announcer to add "and Enter".
The way it works is make sure that the "Still Off" user Op in DVD Studio Pro's Advanced Playback Controls is unchecked. DVD SP started making this default UOP denial in recent versions, which will mess up the Play remote key on a lot of players, including the Apple DVD player.
And it would be good to take notes here Jake, since you do some Scenarist authoring. This Play remote key could bite you big time, if you're not careful (I've rescued two good authors who had trouble with what I'm about to describe; luckily, we caught it before it was submitted for replication).
Still Off, which is what a lot of DVD player manufacturers map their play remote key if they don't directly map it to "Enter", when the DVD player is in infinite pause mode, i.e., the state a cell/program is in when displaying a still menu, causes the menu PGC to execute it's post command area (leave the PGCs still phase).
A check of DVD SP's abstraction layer will show that navigation out of the post command area of all DVD SP's menu PGCs is determined by the current value of SPRM 8, the last selected/activated button. All of DVD SP's menu domain buttons are "LinkTail PGC" commands, so the effect of Operating Play is identical to activating a button with Enter, in the case of Still Off being the trigger.
This can be verified by setting a button command in AfterEdit to jump somewhere directly which is different location than it was set in DVD SP. With the Still Off user op enabled, hit Play on the selected button and find that the original command in DVD SP will execute. But hit enter on the same button, and navigation will go to your test location. This is how it works on many players (you can check it out right in the Apple player).
So it's good for spec based authors to use LinkTail PGC, which most do, on their menu button commands for still menus (in single PGCs), just in case users use Play instead of Enter in those players; or navigation can get pretty wacky! Or, if you don’t use LinkTail for the menus’ button commands, then it would be good to at least provide for code in the PGCs post command area to receive navigation in this case. But LinkTail has lots of other advantages, which is why it's used so much.
With motion menus, Most players map the play remote key to "Enter", well, except the Apple DVD player. It turns the Play remote key to a Pause key during motion, so Christopher’s viewers would definitely be out of luck there.
All that said, the play remote key should not be depended on as the primary for bullet-proof navigation, as you said.
Take care,
Trai -
New quicktime player: can I move the play buttons off the video?
Can I organize the Quicktime player like the old version? With the play buttons / time line on the bottom, outside and away from the video?
E.g., I do not want the play buttons / time line to "float" over the video window. It's distracting for times when I need to pause and scroll over video to find certain spots. It is really in the way.
Quicktime 10.1
Mac OS 10.7.3Wow, that is unfortunate. It's really annoying to have that in the screen.
Do you know if Quicktime Pro has the same thing? If so I won't spend the money for it.
thanks -

Hard to say without physically examining it. Take your warmed up iPod Nano to an Apple Store or an AASP so it can be "tested."
Every iPod comes with complimentary, single-incident telephone technical support within 90 days of your iPod purchase. If you also purchased AppleCare, then your warranty is extended for technical support and hardware coverage for two years from the original purchase date of your iPod. -
Pressing play on purchased downloads and it starts to download but then returns to the play button. This is for all the purchased items I have. However pressing play on previews works. Please advise.
Welcome to the Apple community.
A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
Also check your payment details, make sure your details are exactly how they appear on your credit card statement, you might also try changing some of those details, saving them and changing them back again.
You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.
At this point in time, I’m wondering if this could be related to (but not restricted to) the new feature that allows others to come into your home and use your Apple TV to download and play their content on your Apple TV without logging into their account on your Apple TV. The Terms of Use for iTunes Store content have always been to require you to only purchase and play the content from the store in the location where you live and to use a credit card registered in that location. Previously Apple seem to have been somewhat lenient on enforcing such restrictions, perhaps now they are not. However I don’t really have any evidence to support this suggestion, except that changes made to accounts in these areas do appear to be helping many.
If you are successful in resolving your problem, perhaps you would let us know exactly which action resolved the problem for you. If you are having this problem to begin with, can you also tell us your location. -
will the iphone 6 plus work in pakistan if i buy the unlocked and contract free version from the apple store? why is t mobile written on top of the button? it is so confusing no one will give me a straight answer on this. if i buy that one, would there be any monthly charges involved or not?
Are you planning on flying to and visiting the US? That is the only way you are going to get an iPhone from the Apple store because you will not be able to purchase one from the Apple store online and get it sent to Pakistan - it can't be done and Apple online stores will not ship internationally.
You have not got a straight answer to this question because there is none. The phone has T-Mobile on the top button, because it is a T-Mobile phone and although sold as contract free, but NOT unlocked - notice the difference, it still comes with a T-Mobile sim card.
The phone may or may not work in Paskistan and if you do buy the phone, to ensure that it has the best possible chance of working is to take the T-Mobile sim card out of the phone first and DO NOT activate the phone using the T-Mobile sim. If you want to use it in Pakistan, then activate it with your local Pakistan sim card and you will not be paying any charges to T-Mobile if you do this. If you do happen to accidentally activate the phone with the T-Mobile sim card in it, then you will have a contract with them and yes, you will have a monthly bill with T-Mobile and you will need to keep this contract for 40 days, until you can get the phone unlocked by them.
Also note, that if you buy the phone it may not work on 4G networks in Pakistan due to frequency differences and also you will have no warranty cover for the phone in Pakistan - iPhone warranty is NOT international, so country of original purchase, so the US, which means you have to fly back there - no postage accepted.
So basically, the phone should work in Pakistan, but not on the 4G networks and you need to take the T-Mobile sim card out before you activate it and activate it using a local sim card and you will have NO warranty cover for the phone in Pakistan.
