Menu button and backlight!

I usually leave my backlight setting to be always on since I primarily play music in my car at night when I drive and otherwise I can't see the screen. Occasionaly I use it away from my car in the light and I have no need for the backlight so I used to be able to just press and hold the menu button to toggle the backlight on my iPod.
About 3 or 4 software updates ago this broke the menu button/backlight toggle on my black 60GB video iPod! Ever time there's an update I think "surely this update will fix this simple problem" but it never has and it's beginning to get annoying!
The current behaviour when I press and hold the menu button is it returns me to the root menu of the iPod, regardless of where I was before! Very annoying! Does anyone else experiance this or have a fix? Does Apple know?

As far as I know it's not a bug.
For some reason or another, Apple intentionally disabled this feature.

rented a movie on itv. It started downloading. I accidentally hit the menu button and it threw me out of download. I went back and tried to download again. I got a message that I had already downloaded it and go to "settings" and on "iTunes download". The wheel is still spinning after several hours. How do I get the movie?

Ok problem solved; signing out of iTunes account and signing back in solved it.

HT1657 I rented a movie and accidentally hit the menu button and now I can figure out how to go back and watch it . When I try to press rent again it says you have already downloaded this movie go to settings and check for downloads but I can find it.

I had the same issue with my apple tv 3rd generation. I rented Sinister and selected the "rent and watch now" option. Half way through the movie I accidentally pressed the menu button. When I looked for the rented movie on my apple tv I could not find it. Not even above the movie pannel where "purchased" and "top movies" comes up on the main menu. the apple tv suggests to go to settings>downloads but I don't have that option. I did go to settings> itunes store> check rentals but that didnt work either. It took too long to even check. Thank you because this SOLUTION worked great.
SOLUTION: How to reset apple tv 3 3rd generation to view rented movies:on the apple tv remote: press and hold "menu" to go to the main menu. Select SETTINGS> GENERAL >RESET >RESET ALL SETTINGS. After the apple tv resets, input all your information again and your rented movies should be visible when you cruise above the "movies" section. THANK YOU!!
Apple needs to solve this issue because honestly it took me 3 hours and a half to watch a movie that only lasted 2 BECAUSE I wast trying to solve the issue, reseting and all. blahh.

Menu Buttons and remote buttons in DVDSP 4.2.1

Hi
Sorry, this is the first real DVDSP project for me that involves menus and chapters. I used template from the program. I deleted the 3 bottom buttons and added text in a different place for play and scene menu. I then drew a button box around the text to make the text a button. Got all the navigation set. However there no highlight on the preview so you don't know which button your pushing. I burnt a DVD to test everything.
I have COD's FCS tutorials but the DVDSP isn't giving me what I need.
So what did I do wrong? My scene selection menu is all text buttons, no graphics at all.
Also when playing the DVD on my TV, the menu on my remote didn't work. I had to push the title button on the remote. Am I supposed to map the remote buttons as well.
Thanks for any help. Be nice to find a video tutorial with basics like scene selection and laying out an highlighting buttons. I"m totally lost here! ;-(
Allen

Thanks.. I know it use to be there but could not find it in the new version.. will test it out...
I've put a snap shot of the project at :
http://gallery.mac.com/herstik#100124
Can DVSP4 also allow me no next jump to menus???
I could only ever set it up to next jump through the movies... for a total of 99 tracks...
After that I need to make menus into movie tracks.. but these are not navigable...
Cheers
Thanks for the help...

Help with menu button and movie load

Hello everyone....I am very new to flash and actionscripting
and am self taught using mostly web research.
I am building a site with a menu and a banner that is
controlled by the menu (two swf files). I have managed to get them
to communicate however, I am stuck at this point.
When "bt_1" is hit I would like a "mv_1" to load in the
banner.swf with is respected intro animation...this I figured out
how to do...however now when "bt_2" is clicked I would like play
the remainder of the animation of "mv_1" to unload the movie before
"mv_2" loads with its respected enterance animation....this I would
like to do for several buttons. The method I am using for my local
connection is this....
Sending script
mySender = new LocalConnection();
on (release) {
\\ each button has a different param...1,2,3,4,5,6
_root.mySender.send("menuconnect", "action", 1);
\\ this is the best way I could figure out to disable the
appropriate buttons..there might be a better way??
home.enabled = false;
couple.enabled = true;
events.enabled = true;
bridal.enabled = true;
media.enabled = true;
rsvp.enabled = true;
Recieving script
myReceiver = new LocalConnection();
myReceiver.action = function(doThis) {
if (doThis == 1)
gotoAndPlay(2);
if (doThis == 2)
gotoAndPlay(3);
//and so and soforth for all six buttons
myReceiver.connect("menuconnect");
If all this makes no sense I'm sorry...I tried my best...
If some pro out there can understand what I'm trying to do
and can help me I would greatly appreciate it....thank-you all
sjs

KGlad...I'm stuck again....:-(. I guess I'm not understanding
this linkage thing well enought...
if you don't mind tell me what you had in mind when you
helped me with that code...this is my situation again....
here is the actual website....www.beckyandsangeeth.com
the menu on the left of course has the buttons and I want the
animation pertaining to each button to load in the apparent banner
region, (which I am still working on the indivual animations).
I guess I'm not understanding where the movies are loaded and
how they are linked...and so and soforth...thanks again
Also I don't mean to be specifically speaking to
kGlad...anyone out there I am open for ideas.
thanks

I am having a lot of issues but the big one is that my menu, buttons and toolbar keep greying out

I am having multiple issues and they all seem related to the menu/settings:
• Every time I start Firefox, my bookmarks toolbar is invisible. The box to display Bookmarks Toolbar IS checked but I have to disable and then re-enable it on the toolbar menu in order to get them to display again.
• "Tabs on Top" keeps defaulting to off. I check the box every time I run the browser, but every time I close it, it's back off again when I restart.
• I keep getting tabs that cease to be interactive. They are stuck open and I cannot close, move, or pin them. In fact, if I try to click on the tab, it selects the tab immediately to the right of it. It's like Firefox does not realise these tabs exist.
All of these are frustrating but I could handle them if this also wasn't happening:
• Periodically, all my menus and buttons grey out and I am unable to use any of them. I can't click bookmarks, I can't use my back/forward buttons, I can't access anything on the menus. I can still use the URL bar and interact with the websites themselves. It seems particularly prone to doing this while I am adjusting settings or toolbars which unfortunately I have to do a lot because of the aforementioned issues. I have not yet been able to use the browser for longer than 15 minutes before it happens. I am having to restart it constantly.
Potentially Helpful Information:
I have reinstalled Firefox (once as an upgrade, once I uninstalled the original one first) several times at home in hopes this would help, but it has not.
I am using Windows 7. (at work I am still running 2k and Firefox 4 works great)
The only addons I am using are Morning Coffee, Personas, Adblock and Noscript. I use them also at work with Firefox 4 without issue. They are all updated for the latest version. Additionally, disabling them makes no difference in the presentation of these issues.

If you are having that many issues, and if you have tried all five of the Five Rs, then what I would do is take it to an Apple store to the genius bar and let them look at it. It surely sounds as if there might be something wrong with the iPod itself, and if there is, and they can't fix it, they will give you a new one on the spot (assuming they have them in stock).

Windows 8.1 start menu button and charms frozen

So sometimes when I try to click the bottom-left start icon, it suddenly does not work. I hover over it but it doesn't change color nor
work at all, but after i restart explorer.exe from task manager it starts working again. This happens randomly, and can happen again in a short while after restarting explorer.exe. I have this same problem on another computer running Windows 8.1 and I have
not installed anything extra on that computer yet. I saw someone say disabling OneDrive syncing would solve this problem, but even if I did that it is still occasionally freezing up. This has been pestering me a while now and is a bit problematic since even
event viewer doesn't have any information on it.
The problem doesn't seem to be explorer.exe as a whole, since the taskbar works and windows open and close properly. I can also view and use
explorer.exe normally (browse files and folders and open programs). However, the charms do not appear and the start button in the bottom-left doesn't work at all, i can't click it to get to the start screen nor right click it to show the menu. In other words
it seems to be the start menu freezing, but there's nothing in event viewer that would indicate a problem. Restarting explorer.exe fixes this problem temporarily, but it keeps happening every now and then.

To anyone experiencing this, it is a bug in Win 8.1 which I can replicate at will.
Reinstalling your system as suggested by MS engineers will not fix this.
To force the bug to appear:
1. Grab a desktop Icon (recycle bin, any shortcut) and move this up to the top left hand corner without letting go of the mouse button. Drop shortcut anywhere on desktop. Without an Icon the mouse pointer would initiate the recent apps.
2. To check that the first step has worked, try and invoke charms by moving mouse to top right hand corner. If Charms do not appear then the bug has been triggered.
3. Now move mouse over start button (no click), move away then back again. Now the start button is locked. If you unlock the taskbar you can move it to any other position (top, left or right) and the start button works. Move taskbar back to the
bottom and the start button still does not work. Only way to get it working again is to restart window explorer in task manager.
To avoid this happening all you need to do is disable recent apps corner.
1. Right click desktop.
2. Click Taskbar and Navigation
3. Click Navigation tab in the properties window
4. Uncheck "When I click the upper-left corner, switch between my recent tabs."
Now the bug cannot be triggered as above to make the start button stop working. You have to remove this feature which is pretty hopeless on a desktop anyway. Its better than restarting Window explorer every time.
I can replicate this on any desktop or laptop, fresh install or old. Not sure about any touch screen machines. I can also trigger this in VMPlayer\Virtual Box and the Modern IE VM images that MS provide.
Now the MS engineers can replicate this on their machines, and maybe if we are lucky they will FIX it!!!!
MS please acknowledge that this is a bug.
Maybe the issue is due to the windows button not being redrawn on the screen once triggered as it still works when taskbar is moved (graphic card drivers). Could not find anything use full in the system logs.
Just noticed also that the charms also breaks if you drag an Icon up to the right hand corner. Once triggered Charms stops working, start button is not affected with the above work around configured.
MS please read this and reply.

My ipod touch will not turn on... i have tried to hold menu button and on switch... and still nothing

iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

TS1425 My IPod will not allow me to return to the beginning. I can press the menu button and it will not respond. I have also tried to reset by pressing both the menu and center but ther is no response to it. Help!

The wheel on my IPod nano, 5th generation is unresponsive when I try to use the menu part to go back to previous books. It's also unresponsive when I try to reset by pushing the menu and center in at the same time. Can anyone help?

If you have double checked to make sure the hold switch is not activated, it may be a hardware issue with the iPod's click wheel, meaning you'll need to have it serviced.
Before doing that though, it might help to try and restore to factory settings in iTunes as well to rule out a software issue.

HT1600 I have Apple TV version 7.4.2 and we pressed on the remote the select button and the menu button at the same time to update our software. The box shows white light, we can get the screen to select netflix but nothing will move and the box will not

I have Apple TV version 7.4.2. We read in a blog that in order to reset our Apple TV we should press the menu button and the select big button at the same time which we did. Now when we attempt to turn on the apple tv box it with the remote we get a white light and sometimes we can get the menu screen but the remote will not let us move now will it allow us to turn the apple tv on or off. If we just leave it alone, the white light eventually goes away. I did unplug the apple tv and we removed the batteries and reinstalled them from the remote and that did not make any difference. Please advise.

If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.

S110 menu button not working

Hi,
We're on our honeymoon and been taking good pictures without any problems with Canon S110 until yesterday. The camera suddenly has the following problems:
1. turn on normally but then immediately taking one photo no matter what mode it's on.
2. once the single photo was taken, the camera completely freeze except the display button working and the delete button (working but not be able to select delete)
3. shutter button and zoom in or out is completely useless
3. MENU button is NOT working at all
We have been trying the following:
- new fully charged batterry
- new SD card
- turn off and remove both battery and SD card overnight
It's very frustrated and we only have this camera on this trip. Please help!!!

Just registered to report my solution.
I have a similar problem with the PowerShot S110 of my wife's sister.
At some time a menu button and all joystick buttons stop working.
The problem was because of sticking zoom control (yeah it's very stupid).
At the normal state zoom control must return to central position!
When zoom control is on the left or right position - some buttons don't work.
I hope this info will be usefull to someone.

Main window animation to fly in when clicked on different menu buttons

For a flash website I'm creating, I want my main window box with all the information containing it to fly in when a menu button is clicked.
I can't figure out the actionscript to do that.
It's the same thing as this website's main window:
http://www.flash-templates-today.com/free-flash-templates/27/

thanks for the tips!
did you know of any links or templates that would have the actionscript for that already done that i could base mine off of?
I'm not sure how I would make the movieclip tween when I clicked on a menu button and have the text in it change as well.

Menu button and backlight!
