ITouch play/pause problem, really confused
Hey everyone, I need some help here. I have a 3rd gen Touch (no longer under warranty by the way). The thing is so wierd playing music. Depending on the source it may or may not play correctly. Now I have to mention that it does have an apparent faulty headphone jack, which may need replacing, but maybe not. Here's a few examples: #1. If it's playing through it's own speakers, it is perfectly fine playing music. #2. If it's playing through headphones, the music runs fine, but sound will come out all messed up, only through one side, sounds like it's in the background, etc. Obviously a headphone jack issue. #3. If I put it on a small portable iHome speaker or anything running off batteries it sounds and runs perfectly fine. And here's where it gets wierd for me, #4. In my car, when I put it through a cassette adapter the thing sounds perfectly fine, but after 10 seconds or so it will randomly pause itself. Then I hit play again and it goes for 2 or 3 seconds and pauses again and again. I have no idea what it going on. I don't know if that pausing could be contributed to the headphone jack?? Other than these music issues, the Touch runs perfectly. I have iOS 5.1.1 running on it, as updated as it can be. I'm insanely confused, if anybody could help or recommend a solution it would be extremely appreciated. Thanks everyone for reading.
Hi Thomas,
I am confused; what are you asking? Is this a statement or is there a question behind it. Did you try resetting (Knowledge Base Document #300595 on Resetting iPod Shuffle). Playing Songs on Your iPod shuffle says
"Using the switch on the back
On the back of your iPod shuffle, you will find a switch with 3 positions: Off, Play in order, and Shuffle songs. If you want to play the songs as they appear in iTunes, choose the Play in order position. To have them shuffle, select Shuffle songs. When you are done, turn your iPod shuffle off by moving the switch to the off position. You will know your iPod shuffle is off when the green stripe is not visible."
Try updating you iPods Software. You may also want to upgrade your system software to 10.3.9 (Mac OS X 10.3.9 Combo Update).

Toggle button (play/pause) problem when using smart shape
Hi,
I am utilizing smart shape as button. I have one play button, and pause button, on top of each other. When "play" is clicked then I display "pause" button, and hide "play" button. Vice versa for pause button. And, I set the buttons to be displayed in the rest of the project. The problem is that buttons are working so irregularly. In some slides they may stop toggling, and when I do go back to previous or next slides, they may start working again, but they may mul-function in other slides then.
Did anybody run into this problem? How can I solve it?
P.S. I cannot user widgets, because of incompatibility with html5.Thanks for sharing your blog. I actually did whatever you explained in your blog. I created advance actions. I labeled the buttons, btn_Play, btn_Pause, respectively. And, in "Play" advance action, I added the following command "Show -> btn_Pause", "Hide -> btn_Play", and vice versa for "Pause" advance action. It is working, but irregularly.
As the example in your blog, If I test it in the single slide, it is working great. However, if I do consequetive transitions to other slides fastly, it sometimes stops working (for example, when I click "Play" button, the "play" button does not disappear, and "pause" button does not show up). I know this sounds so weird!
Also, another point is that I did not use master slide, I just put them in the first slide, and set them visible for the rest of the project. I see that you did not recommend this practice. -
if i click 'Play' Button video playing normally, after i click 'Pause' button video pause, next i click 'Play' Button video playing from starting point.
what is the problem
solution pls......
Code:
var video:String = "http://www.hagane.us/as/flv/video.flv"
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
theVideo.attachVideo(ns);
ns.play(video);
ns.onStatus = function(info){
if(info.code == "NetStream.Play.Stop") {
ns.seek();
ns.close();
mid_play._visible = true;
//Button Control Functions
play_btn.onRelease = function () {
ns.play(video);
mid_play._visible = false;
mid_play.onRelease = function () {
ns.play(video);
mid_play._visible = false;
pause_btn.onRelease = function (){
ns.pause();
mid_play._visible = true;
stop_btn.onRelease = function (){
ns.close();
mid_play._visible = true;You should look in the help documentation regarding both the pause and the play methods of the NetStream class. You can probably solve this yourself in doing so if you take the time to read what they involve.
The pause method info indicates: "The first time you call this method (without sending a parameter), it pauses play; the next time, it resumes play. You might want to attach this method to a button that the user presses to pause or resume playback."
That says you might try using pause() again in your mid_play button instead of play() because calling it a second time will resume play.
If you need to use the play method for some reason (I don't see why you would), the play method has more arguments it can take, one being the "start" time (at what time into the video to start it playing). The class also has a time property that you can read and assign to a variable to help remember where you stopped it. So if you save the time value when you pause the video you can restart it using that time value as a secong argument.... ns.play(video, atTime); -
i recently buy an apple iphone 4s.the problem is that when i started music player on my iphone the speaker is not outputting the sound.and when i lock the phone at the same time the sound starts.thos problem is from last 3 days.and i am really confused???
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If the issue continues, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement. -

i have an ipod touch. previously when i did not update it it used to download skype and kik messenger but now when i have updated it it wont download any od them. i have 4.2.1 software at the moment. im really confused, what might be the problem here?
Many developers when they updated their apps fro the newer iOSs dropped support for the older iOSs. That included Skype and other developers. Unless you have a copy of the apps version that was compatible with your iPod/iOS you are out of luck. Do you cave such a copy in a computer file backup??

So sometimes the button just doesnt work. I finally figured out when and why. It only happens when I have my Belkin FM tunecast 2 transmitter plugged into it. Once I take that out and put the headphones back in, the play/button works just fine. Why that happens you ask? I have no idea!!!
I also have a TuneCast II and have no issues with it. That is unless I unplug it. Then I get the same result as unplugging the headphones.
Here is what I posted a couple days ago in a topic titled.
[Micro] Back Button Only Works w/ Headphones Attached
OK. Here is what I have noticed as of late regarding this issue.
. If I turn on the Micro WITHOUT anything plugged into the headphone jack I get this. All buttons are NON responsi've for a couple of seconds. Then All but the Play/Pause button become responsi've but at a lesser level than my prefs are set for. The Play/Pause button WILL not do anything. It is not recognized.
2. If I plug something into the headphone jack all buttons then become fully responsi've at the level I have set in the prefs. Play/Pause functions normally.
3. If I then remove the cable from the headphone jack the Play/Pause button once again becomes NON responsi've and the other buttons return to a less responsi've state.
4. Reinserting a cable results in full responsi'veness again.
Is this intentional in the firmware? It seems to make sense that if nothing is connected to the headphone jack then there realy is NO reason for the Play/Pause button to function or any button for that matter. Is this possibly a measure to preserve battery life incase of accidental power on?
Oh. I have done similar tests while connected to my PC via only USB and had similar results. It seems that the Micro is only fully responsi've when a cable of some sort is connected to it.
Anyone have any ideas? I would especially like to hear from Jeremy or Cat.Message Edited by MicroZealot on 04-2-2005 :5 PMMessage Edited by MicroZealot on 04-2-2005 :53 PM -
IPod 5.5G Video, 30GB, No Sound Audio, Play/Pause Won't Shut Down, etc.
Even though I have marked this topic as a question, it is more of a heads up for those having problems with Sound and Audio on the 5th Gen (Video) iPods.
I was having audio problems like many others are describing and took it upon myself to look into the cause. I found that there is a problem with a flat ribbon cable that connects to the main board of the iPod. The issue is that there are very thin, gold plated traces of copper on a somewhat thin plastic backing which fits into a ZIF (i.e. Zero-Insertion-Force) connector.
At issue is the amount of bending of the plastic cable when a clip on this ZIF connector is 'locked'. It seems that on some of these plastic ribbon cables, these small gold plated copper traces will crack and break, causing sound to come only from one channel or the other, or for scratchy sound, and even possible problems with the Hold switch. (I removed my Hold/Headphone Jack cable assembly and confirmed this under a microscope.)
I don't know if the cracking is immediate upon the connector being locked, or if there is some length of time before cracking will occur. I also cannot say if this is truly a problem with the ZIF connector force, or the copper on the ribbon cable. There are different problems if the copper is too thin or too thick. Other problems can cause the copper to break, have problems adhering to the plastic 'ribbon', etc.
Since this cable not only includes Left/Right Audio, but the Hold switch, units with this problem may not only have audio problems, but apparently have problem with the Hold switch not functioning properly and issues with Holding down the Play/Pause part of the Click-Wheel to power down an iPod. Another issue appears to be that the 'Clicking' noise of the Click-Wheel either becomes quiet or disappears altogether.
Ok, here's the question part...
Apple, do you have any knowledge of this issue? Is it systemic, or just several isolated units? Since the 5.5G is not in production, is it out of the question to hope to get a discounted repair or replacement part? What would your typical response be?
(Note: I had an AppleCare contract that apparently doesn't run out until October of this year, but because I took it upon myself to open the unit I understand that this is now voided.)
At this point I am thinking of buying a replacement Hold/Audio ribbon cable to install myself, but am very concerned that the part I purchase may also have these issues.
Sincerely,
NobuoAfter all my worry, concern, and consternation, I took my own advice and went to see the Genius Bar at the local Apple store this afternoon on my way home from work, just to see if they knew about this issue. At least I was expecting they would tell me I was out of luck for opening the iPod, at most I thought they would take it in for service and then let me know they found I had opened it and that I'd have to either pay for service, buy a new one, or that they'd simply be returning it as is. Instead they offered to replace my iPod.
I don't know if this was because I was starting to make other customers nervous (talking loud is a habit when I get anxious), and they said they don't work in individual parts like the flex ribbon cable which I told them in detail was defective - I even mentioned that I had tried to fix it by applying solder to fill in the breaks in the gold traces. But after 20 minutes of them listening to me and continually offering to exchange the iPod (not one, but two Genius' at the Genius Bar were offering me an exchange) - I gave in.
I have to say parting with it was a bit of an emotional thing - I still had all my podcasts, songs, photos, etc, on the iPod (I would have wiped it, but I really didn't expect much - I don't know what I was expecting). Maybe I was thinking of all the Smart Playlists I would loose (again), and have to recreate (again), or maybe it wasn't wanting to part with it because I figured it would be my mod-ing unit (I had seen what some did to add 32GB Compact Flash to their iPods and was tempted to do this myself). It was a very lonely 30 min drive back home.
I am still a bit gob-smacked with a 'New' 5.5Gen Video iPod. Part of me wants to thank Apple, and part of me wants to cry at loosing an old friend. (And I am sure there is a part that is sad that it wasn't me that fixed it.) I was also pretty well put in my place by the Genius when she said not to open the replacement. (If you've ever seen those TV shows where the actor becomes smaller and smaller when being scolded, that was me in the store.)
The moral of my story is - *do not hesitate to take your product to Apple if you think it needs to be fixed!* It all definitely made me feel like Apple employees really do understand the value of 'Customer Service', even when the customer isn't always right. I hope others will learn from my mistakes.
Sincerely,
Nobuo -
Hello I was wondering if anyone else has had such an issue. It's not a major problem but it does bug me sometimes.
I have a 2nd generation Ipod Mini that's still under warranty. I usually turn off my Ipod by pressing and holding down the play/pause button. Lately however, I've noticed that this doesn't always work. Somtimes I have to try a couple of times for the Ipod to recognize that I'm actually holding down that key for it to turn off and not just pressing it to enable pause or play mode. The problem isn't always consistent but this was definitely not an issue before.
Now my question is, is it really worth it to send it back to Apple? I understand that all Mini's that they send back now are refurbished..but is it worse to get a refurbished one back? Also, my warranty is expiring in November. If I do send my current Ipod back and get another one back does my warranty still only go until November? What if something is wrong (or goes wrong) with the one that they send back after the November deadline? Am I screwed?
Thanks for any answers!Don't keep postiong with nothing else to say...saying "anyone?" is not going to make us answer any faster.
Try this:
when you go to turn it off, don't touch any buttons for a couple seconds before hand. I seem to have the same problem with my nano and I think the problem is just that the processor can't keep up.
I hope this helps! -
When I was setting up the language Setting, I pressed the play/pause button three times and now the voice that talks you through everything speaks extremely fast. How do I get her to speak slower?

Using default CS5 skin, play/pause & stop buttons disabled until going fullscreen
We are using default CS5 skins with an flvplayback component built through action script 3. When playing certain videos (and only certain videos, however there isn't yet a pattern), the play/pause, stop & seek buttons are completely unresponsive. They don't change stats on hover & they are unclickable.
However, the fullscreen button does always work, and upon going fullscreen and coming back out, the buttons now work again.
I really have no idea what is going on here, it seems rather random. So far, the problem was seemingly at its worst displaying a video that was encoded with Sorenson spark (an older codec) and we wondered if it had to do with the file itself, the headers, anything of that sort. But the fact that the skin and buttons work fine once entering and exiting fullscreen - that is perplexing.Just an update, but the following line:
my_FLVPlybk.scaleMode = "noScale";
Has something to do with the issue. When we include this line (which tells the player to resize to the size of the given FLV), we get the problem with the buttons not working. If we take the line out, we do not see that problem. -

How to stop the iTunes launching when play/pause is pressed? PLEASE HELP
I have a macbook pro 13 inches. When I play computer game, during an intense battle, I always accidently press the play/pause button.
Immediately, the iTunes launch, which will make my game go frozen and I would always lose the battle. This make me extremely frustrated, I have lose so many battles cause of this problem. I know that I could turn the top row of my action keys to Fn keys. That would solve my problems, right? But no. Becuase I use those keys very often. It would be awful without them. For example, the screen brightness, the mission control, the keyboard back-lit light, the volume adjust. Without all these, my mac experience would be awful. Im just wondering if there are other solution beside for turning the Fn keys on.
PLEASE HELP METhis has fixed it for me

How to Play/Pause All for Adobe Air Application using AS3 in Flash CS4?
I am new to Flash and I'm creating an educational application in AS3 in Flash CS4 for Adobe Air. I want to use buttons to play and pause all content (movieclips AND sound).
I have created play and pause buttons that worked by switching the frame rate between 0 and 20, unfortunately I've realised that it's never really 0fps but rather 0.01fps and so it continues playing, albeit very very slowly. Also this doesn't affect the audio; I have set sound files to Stream which are synced to movieclips on their timelines, but even when the application is set to 0fps the audio continues.
Since I have various levels with numerous movieclips each with synced audio, what i'd like is to be able to do is pause absolutely everything within each movieclip with one button and to be able to resume from the same place using another button. Is this possible? If not, is there a global function to pause/resume the entire application/program?
Thanks in advance for your help!Its possible but you would need to tell each movieclip and audioclip to play/pause. You can create a for loop inside your mouse event function to find each movieclip and pause/play its timeline and a separate for loop for audio clips. Also instead of setting fame rate to 0 for pause just use a stop() command.

30GB Play/Pause button won't work.
Yes, another iPod Classic's play/pause button is messed up. I got it in March '09 so I believe that's over the 90 day fixing range. I've tried resetting, holding the menu & center button, & all of the suggestions on the Mac site, but it still won't work.
Any ideas what could be wrong & how to fix it?Besides resetting the iPod, have you attempted restoring it? You can do that by clicking the "Restore" button on the the iPod's Summary page in iTunes.
Assuming that doesn't work, you can check your [warranty status|https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do] to see if you are still covered for hardware repair. I doubt any 30GB iPods are still under warranty, since they were discontinued over two years ago, but you said you got it in March 2009 - did you purchase it used?
Whether it's under warranty or not, you can always make a Genius Bar appointment at your closest Apple Store and see if they have any other suggestions, free of charge. If it's a hardware problem, they can replace the iPod for you, but there would be a charge to do so if you're out of warranty.
