Is there a stop button??? h

so i bought one of the creative zen touch mp3 players yesterday and i really like it...i have songs DLed on it already...there is just one problem, and i know this is going to sound really stupid...but i can't find the stop button. when i want to stop the song from playing i have to just shut it off completely. maybe its just me and i cant seem to find the correct button, or maybe there just isnt one. CAN ANYONE HELP ME WITH THIS?!? thanks!!

melinda: See the link "why the players have no stop button" in the FAQ post.

Nope, in fact it's basically due to the way CD and cassette players worked. They are constantly spinning the disc (in the case of CDs) or have the play/record head pushed against the tape (in the case of cassettes). Both cause wear and tear, so a stop button stops the disc spinning and removes the head from the tape, respecti'vely. A digital player doesn't need a stop button from a technical standpoint as there's no disc to stop (the hard disk only spins up when required) and no tape head. Some MP3 players have a stop button e.g. the NJB, 2 & 3, to reproduce the functionality, but from a minimalist standpoint it's not required.

Is there a stop button?

Hi there,
My nano (like everybody else's) has a play/pause button and buttons for next or previous song, what about a stop button?
Even if I switch it off, next time it is still on the same song 9but paused). There might not be a real need for it, but I was just wondering if you can actually stop a song that is playing rather than pause it?

There is no stop button.
Press and hold play/pause turns the iPod off. When you turn it on again, it resumes from where you left off, unless it's been inactive for a period of approx 14 hours or more, after which it goes into deep sleep to conserve battery power. When you next turn it on after this, first you will see the Apple logo, then it will return to the main menu.
With digital music players there is no need of a stop button in the conventional sense.

Why no mention of the stop button on mp3 playe

im from the old scholl, belt and braces etc...
bought this new mp3 thingy (zen touch) lovely bit of kit, 20mb and only ?25
dosnt bother me its like a brick, im a bit big myself!
played with it and and got ,000 songs on it, absolutley smashing
only one small problem, wheres the STOP button :angry:
i've looked and looked, cant find it, im pausing it, im switching it off
but no sign of a bloody stop button, either on the machine or in the booklet
so i register here and try a search, i find lots of questions about a stop button
lots of good answers and it all make sense, but if its that obvious and makes complete sense
why dont creative put it in the booklets?
i dont want or need one, but i would like to know i dont want or need one
why keep the information a secret?
oh the touch is a the biz, love it
stop moaning about the touch pad, im a brickie woith large calous hands an i can work it fine
will

hi trance
thanks for the reply, sorry i rambled you may have missed my point
i dont require a stop button, i quite like the fact that pause /play do the job better
what i and others would like though, is somebody incuding it in big letters in the booklet
a phrase like "oh for the dummies, theres no STOP button" and small explanation why
thers 70 odd pages in the cd manual im sure somebody could fit that in.....
cheers

ITunes Stop Button (modal behavior)

iTunes made the move from 7 to 8. Why do we still have modal playing? Why can't I browse another section of iTunes without the play/pause becoming a play/stop button? I can't think of one instance in which I was happy to have a stop button. I can, however, recall many many times when I've wanted to pause the track temporarily and been forced to figure out the playlist/source from which the track came, so I can start it up again. A 0.5 second task (resuming music) has been expanded 10-20 fold.
I've become a Mac-lover since switching a couple years ago, and I respect Apple's user interface group highly. I know they think about the decisions they make. Can someone please explain to me the thought behind this decision? Why is there a stop button at all? Thanks!!

The reason there is modal playback is to ensure that hitting the play button always plays something from the selected (and thus displayed) source. This is inconsistent with how the forward and reverse buttons work, but that's the logic behind the decision. Still, it inconveniences me (and many others I talk to) several times a day, and I wish there were some preference (or command-line shenanigan) to change this behavior.

The back, forward, reload and stop buttons are greyed out, the address bar stays blank when I go to a website and firefox loads to a blank page, not my home page. There are 3 users on this computer and it only happens on one user.

Firefox loads to a blank page, not my home page. When I click on the home button it takes me to the home page. The back, forward, refresh and stop buttons are greyed out and not usable. The webpage I am on does not show up in the address bar. If I type something into the address bar, that address stays there no matter what page I go to next.

Just upgraded to v4. It did NOT fix the problem.

As it says on the page that you posted from :
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
Why it's like that I don't think that Apple have said (these are user-to-user forums). If you haven't downloaded it on your iPad then have you checked to see if you can download it on your computer's iTunes (Store > Check For Available Downloads menu option) or Apple TV ?
If it doesn't show on either of them then you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will let you download it on a different computer/device or refund or credit you : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Where did the "Stop" button go on the Navigation Bar in ff4? It isn't included in the Customize box. Is there anyway to install the "Stop" button for loading web pages or is this option compeletly gone from Firefox now?

Just installed upgrade to Firefox 4.0. Where did the "Stop" button go on the Navigation Bar. I checked the Customize dialogue box and it isn't included. Is anyone else missing it? Is there anyway to install the "Stop" button for loading web pages or is this option completely gone from Firefox now? It was a very helpful button and allowed us users to stop a web page and move on if it wasn't what we needed.

In Firefox 4 by default the Stop, Go and Reload buttons are combined and attached to the right hand edge of the location bar.
When you are typing in the location bar it will show the Go button. When a site is loading it shows the Stop button. At other times it shows the Reload button.
If you want separate buttons, right-click on a toolbar and choose Customize, you can then drag and drop the stop or reload buttons and place them elsewhere. If you place them in the order "Reload-Stop" on the right hand edge of the location bar they will be combined again. For more details on customizing the toolbar see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar

Is there an end stop button somewhere on GB 10.0.1

IS THERE AN END-STOP BUTTON ON GB10.01

Do you mean the end-of-song marker? It is usually hidden behind the zoom controls in the upper right corner of the track area. Zoom out all the way to see it.

My toolbar is missing and there is a button where it used to be that says "Please re-install the Toolbar" but when I click on it nothing happens? Also when I start Firefox I get a script running error how do I solve these issues?

My toolbar is missing and there is a button at the top left that asks me to "Please re-install the Toolbar" but when I click on it nothing happens???
Then when I start Mozilla I get a long delay before it launches and a script running error "A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.
Script: chrome://tavgp/content/libs/include.js:595"
How do I solve these issues???

No idea - and you provide no clues
what version of iPHoto do you have? Of the OS? is the iPhoto icon you are speaking of in the Dock?
re-read your post and try to provide information using standard Mac terms since we can not see you or your computer and only have your worrds to let us try to help you
Somehow my "IPhoto" icon now says "Preview". When I click on "Preview" nothing opens up except the bar says Preview. When I click on the Preview on the bar, a box opens up with different items, except when I click on any of them, there is nothing there. The only thing that work is the "quit preview". However, it is still there where my IPhoto icon should be. I can't get into my IPhoto. How do I get rid of this "Preview" and how did it end up taking over the IPhoto icon???
If you go to your Applications folder and double click on iPhoto what happen?

HT201272 What is it with songs that are not from the itunes store, but are coming from cd's and other download sources that all of a sudden do not play on my iphone and have a red stop button in a red round circle around them, behind the title?

Songs that I have had previously downloaded from various other sources, but NOW ALL of a sudden they DO NOT PLAY on my IPHONE and DISPLAY a RED STOP BUTTON in a red round circle next to the title. Everytime I click on it it DOESNT play. What happen???? How can i get them to play., Why should i have to pay for the songs, and why are they in the ITUNES store and not in my regular playlist.

Amazing steps you've done so far! The great news is this is very unlikely an issue with your iPhone.
I've run into a similar issue lately as well. I narrowed it down to one song that was causing 30 songs not to sync. I removed the song from the sync list (unchecked it) and all 29 songs were able to sync.
You may be running into a similar issue. This may be a problem with this version of iTunes, an issue with one song or a group of songs; hard to know for sure. It's important to narrow down and isolate the cause. Most imporantly get that music back on there!
The way to narrow down the casue add just a few songs at a time (even 1, just to get that first sync finished). Manually syncing is what you'll need here.
Plug in your iPhone, on the Summary screen (shows a picture of your iPhone, the iOS version, Restore iPhone....; etc). Under the Options area at the bottom choose to Manually Manage Videos and Music then choose Apply in the lower right. The music that's on your iPhone now should be removed from your iPhone now. You're now able to sync music manually.
The link below explains how to drag the songs from the iTunes library on the computer on to your iPhone which will start the sync. Add just one song just to see if you can get 1 of those hundreds of songs on there. If you can, awesome! Keep adding until you find the song or group of songs that are causing this issue.

How do i disable a stop button within an event

Using LabView 8.6 I'd like to disable my vi's stop button so the user can't stop the vi unless the network application is in the correct mode of operation.
I only want the user to be able to stop the vi when it is ok to do so. What I tried works to prevent the stop button from operating at the wrong time but the vi does not always stop and I have to force the vi to stop.
My event structure handles all the buttons and inputs for my vi. The event structure is within the while loop that generates commands for the network application when I click on one of the buttons or enter a value into a input field. Another while loop is reading data from the network application and displaying the data on the vi. I used a "Stop" local value to stop the display while loop.
How am I supposed to disable the stop button but have my vi stop when it is ok to do so in the correct way?

OK I'll try to handle this point by point.
Q1, what gets wired to the "SilentShutdown" & "Discard?" when using "Application Instance Close?"
A1 Wire a TRUE to Discard? That's the only thing that event case needs if the Stop condition output is default if unwired "F"
REASON you had a problem" it makes not sense to wire the same value to both Discard? and Silent Shutdown? (Or even use both) Discard in Filter events is used to "Trap" the event and decide if the app really wants to process it so discarding an app close removes the event and the OS wont process it. Silient Shutdown? does just about the opposite an tru hear means "Shut down the app without any normal user prompts" Wiring them both T or F would trigger either allowing the app close event to process normally or triggering a application shutdown.
COMMENT: I've tried various combinations of nothing & true/false but clicking on the "Windows Red X" still closes the window (as far as I know no one has ever clicked the windows close, but the "Stop" button has been clicked a number of times by mistake)
RESPONSE: Ah! You have "Trained" LabVIEW users! They have been burned so often by LabVIEW code that they expect it to misbehave and don't even think about trying to "Close" a LabVIEW window. In decades past the event structure did not exist in LabVIEW and so the only way to prevent the app close event from firing was "User Training." There are better practices available now.
Q2: If I get the previous suggestion to work and follow the next suggestion (Rip off the abort button), I won't be able to ever stop the vi when it hangs. It still does that sometimes. In my actual vi I'm still getting the hangs.
Amplifications:
if the vi stops[,] the network communication & control to the network application is lost.
then the only way to stop this applications[external app on another processor] is with "^C" in the Putty window.
A2: You've got the tail wagging the cart before the dog-horse! BOTH application need to be rethought in such a manner as they can be independantly controlled. But, this is a LabVIEW forum so I expect that your scope of work is to get the LabVIEW side working in a dignified manner- let's concentrate on that. PuTTY windows and Task Managers are not evil - for debugging and integration. especially when integrating multiple processes that may not yet be "Mature". but a quick VISA write "^C" in your shutdown code might make the other application tolerable
Q3hould I use a "Flat" or "Stacked" sequence to control the order of execution within the "data" loop?
A3: NEITHER. You should do a quick forum search for Queued State Machine or Queued Message Handler (QSM and QMH) after looking at the help for the QSM Sample Project (LabVIEW 2012 or later) the Shipping examples are a good place to start but! many discussion threads have questioned the example's exit practice and offered some alternate examples.

Aperture 3 shuts down every time I try to use it after only using it for one minute. Aperture closes then a pop up screen asks if I want to reopen Aperture. If somrone at Aperture didn't keep pushing a stop button for it to close,Apple wouldn't need to ask the stupid question"Do you want to reopen Aperture?" to begin with. Anyone out there having the same annoying problem?? I like Aperture or used to anyway,but if this nonsense continues, I will be forced to buy some other editor besides "No hanging fruit - Adobe photoshop CS5" or "I don't like you so I'm shutting down - Aperture".

Hello,
sorry to hear about your troubles, but we will need to have more technical information about your problem to be able to help you:
There may be several reasons that can cause Aperture to crash on start up:
You may have imported an image (or video) in an encoding that Aperture does not support, or that is larger than 2 GB, or that is corrupted and Aperture cannot process it
Your Aperture Library or Preferences may have been corrupted
Or you are having a system wide problem with your machine.
Or you may simple be running out of disk space.
It would help, if you could post the crash log from your last crash. Also, more details on your Aperture Library: Is it managed or references? how large is it? Is it on your system drive or on an external drive?
What have you done, shortly before the trouble started? Have you imported new images or videos? Did you install any plug-ins or any new software, lile Final Cut?
Try, if you can get Aperture to launch, if you defer the generation of Previews: Hold down the SHIFT-key immediately after you start Aperture to prevent preview generation for that session. If a damaged image in your library is preventing normal opening, this may allow you to start Aperture. If this succeeds, try to identify the broken image or video among the images you recently imported and remove it from the library.

Léonie

Hitting Stop Button in the middle of a JSP Request

          From a browser while servlet is doing some work for a users request, the user hits the stop buttom. In the process the
          servlet forwards the results to a JSP to be displayed using the request dispatcher, The result is the appserver goes
          into what looks like a loop.
          Any ideas how to handle a request that has not been finished when a user hits the stop button?
          We are using WL 5.1, SP7.
          Thanks.


The camera formats the memory card using the "FAT32" filesystem rather than a proprietary filesystem. This allows the card to be read by nearly any computer (Windows, Mac, etc.)
HOWEVER... there's a limitation in that filesystem that no single file can grow above a specific size. That size is 4GB.
Also, the camera documentation describes that the camera will stop just 1 second short of the 30 minute mark regardless of the file size.
In pro video, movies are normally constructed by bringing together many very short clips. The one-long-continuous-take video style isn't used. If you are attempting to record a long event in one-long-continuous-take then it would be better to use a video camera for the task.

Create Run And Stop Buttons on Front Panel, rather than using the toolbar run/stop

I would like to make my vi more user friendly by creating start and stop buttons on the front panel. I havent found much info on how to create them. I have created a boolean stop button to stop my FOR LOOP.
-Chris

Creating the buttons is easy - just select the style you want from the Boolean palette. What you need to do is change your diagram and the VI properties. To have a VI automatically start running when opened, open VI Properties by selecting that under the File menu or right clicking the VI's icon. Select Execution and check the Run when opened box. If you need the user to enter some data or change parameters before running the program, there's a couple of ways to go about it with a front panel Start button. You could have a separate while loop with just the start button in it and connect an output of that to a main while loop. This creates data flow and ensures that the start while loop executes before the main. You could create a simple state machine. T
here's a couple of shipping examples. Just open the Example Finder and enter state for the keyword. You could also use the Event structure. Again, there are several shipping examples. Instead of doing a search, you could also browse the Example Finder and look at what's underneath the Building User Interfaces topic.
p.s. I don't think you created a stop button for a for loop as there is no way to stop a for loop. What you can stop is a while loop.

Is there a stop button??? h
