IWeb video play button doesn't work

I've got several videos on my website, but for some reason the play buttons don't work. You can play the video by double clicking it, but you can't even activate the play button.

Re: iWeb play buttons not working and your fix about showing the different elements of the page.
I too had problems with the slideshow play buttons not working (iWeb '09). Whether I published to a folder or the internet, the buttons just wouldn't work. After spending much too much time on it, I almost gave up. Until I read your post about one element overlapping another. Although my problem was slightly different then the one you were addressing, your post gave me the answer I needed.
Here's the problem and the fix:
I created the typical 'Photos' page. But I got too fancy and that was the problem! For design reasons, I put a frame around the outside of the 'Photos' element. Using the 'Shapes' tool, I created a frame with a thin ruled border and had a 'fill' of 'none.' The 'none' fill made it possible to see the photos and buttons through the frame I made. Kind of like a hole in the frame so I could see through it. It was the last thing I did, so it was on top of everything else. It was the top element on the page. AND THAT WAS THE PROBLEM: IT WAS THE TOP ELEMENT. IT BLOCKED THE BUTTONS UNDERNEATH FROM WORKING! Even though I saw the photos and buttons ('Play Slideshow' & 'Subscribe') through the 'hole' I had in the frame, the frame was still on top and blocked the buttons from functioning. iWeb didn't recognize the 'none' fill and saw the frame as completely opaque. As soon as I made the frame the back element on the page (Arrange>Send To Back), all the buttons worked!!! Everything looked exactly the same to the naked eye as it first did, but now iWeb saw it differently and everything, all the buttons, worked.
Since this situation doesn't seem to be documented anywhere in iWeb, I thought I'd pass the info along.
Although I still have some things that bother me about iWeb, the program is looking a lot better to me today then it did yesterday!

  • Play button doesn't work in itunes

    I have just upgraded to itunes 7 and now the play function doesn't work? Any suggestions?

    it stays firmly stuck to the left!
    sometimes that is a symptom of a damaged QuickTime. (itunes uses QuickTime for audio and video playback.)
    so let's try swapping out your QuickTime.
    head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
    Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
    6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
    7. Restart your computer.
    next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
    switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
    go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it play properly now?

  • QT movie play button doesn't work??? Help please...

    I'm using iweb08 and publishing with easy iweb publisher. One of the pages has a QT movie (720x 480) that ONLY plays the movie when I double click on it. It does not play when I hit the Play button >
    But when I upload a smaller version of the same QT at 320x240 it works fine without having to double click. Can it not handle the larger movie? I would had to upload the smaller size because it is too small. Please help and thanks to anyone who responds.

    What is the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand?

  • IPod 60 Gig 5th Generation - Video Play List Doesn't Work

    Hi People,
    I have a 60 Gig iPod Video that won't play my Video Playlists anymore. It acts like it wants to play but the next screen after I hit the play button looks like it is a song play list with the time bar with 0:00 at the left end and a -0:00 at the right end plus it has a 0 of 0 at the top left hand side.
    This started when I upgraded iTunes to the new 7.02 version.
    Any ideas on how to fix this?
    I have already tried the 5 R's and no change.
    Thanks

    I have the same issue on my brand new Nano 5th Generation. I still have my I-Pod Classic and it works fine with that. I would love to have a solution for this so I can use my Bluetooth headphones with my new Nano.

  • Now playing button doesn't work

    Hello,
    I'm using a Verizon iPhone 4 w/ iOS 5.0. When I'm listening to music and searching through my music library the now playing button the top right hand corner stops working. When I hit the "now playing" button nothing happens so the only way to get to the now playing screen is to choose that song from the library again. Similarly, once I'm able to get the song on the now playing screen, the back arrow in the top left hand corner stops working so there's now way to get back into the music library? Any ideas? Please let me know if anything needs clarification. Thank you.

    The "Now Playing" button in the Music media browser intermittently fails to take me to the "Now Playing" screen.
    I've noticed that if I hit the "Now Playing" button multiple times when it is unresponsive, then when I do manage to get to the "Now Playing" screen, I have to press the "Back" button multiple times before I can get back to the Music media browser.
    This suggests that although the "Now Playing" button seems unresponsive during the bug's behaviour, it is actually instantiating multiple "Now Playing" screens that must all be cleared before navigating back to the media browser.
    I am running iOS 5.1 on an iPhone 3GS.

  • I have a IPOD classic late 2009 160gb ... Only my play/pause buttons doesn't work ? Do I need to replace the click wheel ?

    I have a IPOD classic late 2009 160gb ... Only my play/pause buttons doesn't work ? Do I need to replace the click wheel ?
    May try DIY due to cost
    Just wondering if anyone's had this fixed how much it costs
    Or if it's another problem before I order parts

    I have found the solution for myself for the above.  I use a specific scripting program which is accessed by Control A. To pause it, you need to use Control B. not sure if this would work for any other application but it resolves my dilemma after hours of trying!

  • Headphone pause / play / FF button doesn't work on iphone 3g

    I cant get the button on my headphones to work. I have tried other headphones but this still doesnt help. Is there a setting for this button?

    I have the same problem here.
    I have an Iphone 16Gb firm 1.1.3 , my headphones button (start/stop - skip) works ONLY if i leave the headphone's jack plugged in the phone in STANDBY mode.
    In other words : Iphone in standby mode - plug the headphones - wake button - slide unlock ... everything perfect hedphones button works correctly.
    On the contrary if : Iphone in standby mode - wake button - slide unlock - and THEN plug the hadphones ... the headphone's button doesn't work !!!
    I don't make any restore also because i'm not sure that it can fix the problem and i don't want to loose all my notes - sms etc.
    I will do only if i will be sure that restore can fix this annoying issue.
    Thank you very much for any suggestion !

    N.B. Sorry for my bad english,but is not my natural language !

  • Volume and Power button doesn't work..how do I fix?

    My son's volume buttons or the power button doesn't work.  Is there something I can do to fix these issues?

    Try the following to rule out a software problem.
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    When I skype, and take videos, my microphone doesn't work. I know it's on but my friends can't hear me. How do I get it to work?

    I'm sure you have checked, but make sure your mute button on the keyboard is not on , also check that you haven't touched the space bar during a call as that mutes it.
    Check your settings in Skype>Preferences, Audio/Video tab. Here's what mine look like:

  • Help!! My menu button doesn't work anym

    Hi, I have Nomad Zen jukebox usb 2.0 20Gb, suddenly my menu button doesn't work, there is no reaction when i press the menu button, but the other buttons work very well. Without menu button, i can't load any songs, so my mp3 player is useless. As an information, before i cleaned up the playlist, the player can play songs. Any response will be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Have you tried resetting the player and running a disk cleanup? To access the Rescue Mode hold down the play button and KEEP it held down, press the tiny reset switch once, and KEEP the play button held down until the player boots into the Rescue Mode. Choose Disk Cleanup from the menu.

  • Stuck on apple logo and Home button doesn't work, help please?

    Well, I dropped my iPod Touch 4g by accident and since that day, the home button hasn't really been working that well. Its very hard to use since you have to press it in really hard to get it to work and sometimes it doesn't even work at all. Anways, I was skyping with my girl and I didn't notice that I had to charge the iPod and it died on me so I was like what ever its normal and started to charge it. When it turned on, it got stuck on the Apple logo and its been there for more than a day now? What can I do? I know about the Press Home + Sleep button together but the Home button doesn't work at all anymore. I tried everything really. I tried to connect it to itunes and see if I could restore it but it won't recognize it no matter where I connect it. Tried it on 3 different computers and none worked at all.  I can't take it to an Apple store since there isn't any close to where I live and I really don't have anyone to take me there. So is there any other solution to fix my problem at home? or is it messed up completely? Someone please help me

    I have this same issue. But also, it isn't just that the lock/home button stops working, all buttons stop working. Even if you switch it to silent sounds are still played. I just got my iphone Thursday. Went to school the next day and pulled it out, it happened while it was locked I guess because my screen was black and I couldn't do anything! Thought it died already! This was around 12. Finally I pulled it out of my pocket again at around 3 and it showed the Apple logo and acted like it had just started back up. Which is what always happens after I get stuck playing a game or something. Help please, has happened two or three times just today.

    How to reset the iPod if it appears frozen or doesn't respond.
    It may take quite a few attempts and is best done connected to power.
    If this doesn't work, try restoring the iPod to factory settings.
    However, it seems as if it may be a hardware problem and need service.

  • I just downloaded Yosemite OS for mac and Premier pro play buttons don't work in the Program, Source and timeline and no audio HELP?

    Yosemite OS seem so not allow me to use premier pro. Specifically the play buttons don't work in the source, program and Timeline. Any one have this problem?

    Hey,
    I´ve got the same problem, that since i upgrade to Yosemite, my R3D Video Files are not longer supported, sometimes it works but most of time it says "not supported File format".. Hope Adobe will fix it.
    Play button works. Try installing the latest Java 8 update. This might fix some problems.

  • HT3176 Menu button doesn't work

    Menu button doesn't work I can scroll up and down but when I hit the menu it doesn't even push

    This has happened to me before. What has happened (if it is the same problem as mine) is the spinwheel has been shifted. What I did was just poped it back in place. You can do this by just pressing the play/pause button down or the skip buttons, just mess around with it until it pops back in place. Otherwise, I don't know what is wrong with it.

  • My Ipod has a  blank white screen and my home button doesn't work

    My Ipods screen just went totally blank white and my home button doesn't work anymore any #Advise ??
    i've seen the other videos i can do it but my home button doesn't work ??

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    When it says place the iPod in recovery mode
    Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:
    For PC
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
    or
    http://joshuabailey1997.wordpress.com/2010/09/02/recboot-v1-3/
    If necessary:
    Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
    and                                           
    RecBoot tip
    RecBoot may have problems on 64X windows, then try:
    Tenorshare ReiBoot – Enter & Exit iPhone, iPad, iPod Recovery Mode with a Single Click
    For MAC or PC       
    The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
    Installs blootware on PC too
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
