Mini's Play/Pause Button

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!

  • Dead spot on nano 7 the play/pause button on LCD non responsive

    non responsive/dead spot on nano 7 the play/pause button on LCD

    I was also experiencing this. I'm using a MacBook Pro, and iTunes 7.6(29) in Leopard. Clicking the pause button didn't work, but the spacebar does, as does the remote control.
    One thing that seemed to work was pressing forward / backward instead. After I did that, pause button in the mini player functioned as expected, even after expanding to full-size and back, and after starting and restarting iTunes. I have not seen what happens after starting / restarting my machine yet.
    Worth a shot, anyway.

  • Captivate 2.0 Play/Pause button Not Working

    Hi,
    We are facing a problem in captivate 2.0 file. Due to some
    reason the play/pause button isn’t working in the captivate
    file. There are few links on a particular screen which goes to
    respective slides in the captivate file. Once the learner jumped on
    a respective screen then the Play/Pause button is not working. Even
    though I keep on clicking the Play/Pause button the Audio is not
    stopping, it keeps on playing. When we click thrice on the
    Play/Pause button, then the Audio stops.
    Could you please help me in resolving this issue?
    Thanks in Advance.

    Exact same thing is happening to mine. It's a conspiracy so we'll all have to buy a new piece of ipod tech. I've been happy with it so far, but now it is just like a pack of gum, but less chewy and no tasty goodness.

  • Universal dock remote control play/pause button doesn't work

    Hi all,
    Ok since updating to Ipod touch software v2.2 I have been unable to use the play/pause button on my Apple universal dock remote, whilst my iPod touch is in the dock.
    The volume controls and track next and previous buttons commands on the remote control work just fine.
    I have tried unpairing and then pairing the remote with the universal dock but same issue. I thought that maybe the play/pause key was possibly broken. However I tested the remote on my iMac and play/pause button works fine in front row.
    Any ideas/suggestions would be much appreciated.

    Strange thing is mine started working again last night and is still working. Seems the problem went away as it originally appeared. I hope it doesn't stop working.
    I will mark this thread as unanswered until we can figure why the remote, universal dock and iPod touch are behaving this way.

  • Add a play/pause button on old Macbook

    I got pretty used to have a play/pause button on my new iMac. But as I still have an old Macbook Pro (the first Intel core duo 2006 model) Apple didn't make buttons on the keyboard to navigate through your media in iTunes or Spotify or whatever media program is active.
    I'd like to add a play/pause functionality to my F11 and a forward functionality to my F12 button. I've managed to do so in system preferences > Application Shortcuts. But the thing is that the buttons only work if the program (I'm mainly using Spotify at the moment) is active. I want to make these buttons in all other programs (just like the play/pause buttons on new Macs). How can I do that?
    PS: I don't mind using terminal for this.

    Does anyone know if it's impossible?

  • 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.

  • Removing client's ability to use play/pause button

    Hi all
    I am keen to use Presenter to put together a language listening test for some clients. My clients want their students to not be able to pause the presentation so, say, they can't pause, translate word, pause, translate word and so on. In order to do this, I need to remove or lock the Pause/Play button that appears in the skin of a Presenter module.
    I realise I can completely remove the Player bar by opening up the vconfig.xml file and changing the value next to <uishow name="playbar"> to false. This is a quick and dirty solution and may do the trick. However, I would like the students to still be able to see the time count down for each slide in the player bar. Why? Well, because my clients want their students to listen to an audio track, receive one minute's thinking time and then go on to answer a question about the track. The students should know how much time they still have available. This means somehow either removing the Play/Pause button or at least locking down its functionality.
    I'm not a Flash wiz (though I do have it) but I don't mind making changes to a few codes here and there. I just need to know which file/s and which code.
    Your thoughts/expertise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
    Peta

    Hi Peta,
    You're right...you could hide the playbar by setting that value to "false", but as you have no doubt already seen, that modification eliminates everything, which won't totally solve your problem.
    Since you have Flash, I'd recommend that you create a simple .swf file that will ultimately hide the Play/Pause button in the playbar area of Presenter content.  I'll be honest...I haven't "locked" the Play button, but that might be something to investigate IF what I'm proposing here doesn't do the trick for you.
    So here we go....
    In Flash, create a small stage area and on frame one in your timeline add the following:
    this.onEnterFrame = function () {
    _root.m_controlBar.m_playBtn._visible= 0;
    Save the Flash file as "playBtnKill.fla" and then publish it.  Then head back to PowerPoint and add the swf to the first slide in a presentation using Presenter's Import Flash function.  Publish the content and the Play button should be gone!
    Programming NOTE: because Presenter is set up for Flash Player 6/7/8, its best to code everything using Flash Player 6 / Actionscript 2.0 as the coding environment.
    A couple of things to keep in mind about this:
    First, by placing the swf file on the first slide of your PPT deck, the Play button will be affected for the entire duration of your presentation.  If you need it to show / hide / show /hide periodically throughout the deck, then you might want to think about how you want to handle the overall stucture of your course.  Meaning, that what might work is to kill off the Play button entirely, but use a PowerPoint graphic (that looks like a Play button) and then time that object to appear after a certain amount of time.  Of course, then you'd have to hyperlink the PPT object to the next slide in your deck so that folks will be given an opportunity to advance to the next slide.
    Second, since your intention is to remove the Play button, you should probably leave the "Advance by user" feature set to "NO", otherwise you will ahve to provide some mechanism of navigating from slide to slide (as mentioned above).  At least this way, by the time you've reached the end of the audio for a slide, the presentation will automatically advance.
    Hope that helps!

  • Is it possible to add audio with a simple play/pause button and also have a clickTag attached to the full stage?

    my client wants to add audio to their banner ad (which always has a full stage clickTAG set). I'm trying to figure out a way to just use a simple play/pause button and attach a toggle action to it. Problem is when the user clicks it's going to the clickTAG URL that's attached to the full stage. Is there any way around this?
    Please advise and thank you in advance.

    I have the same issue. It is pretty annoying but at least the audio remains within the motion project. It just isn't accessible it seems as an FCPX template. So what I'm doing is this:
    I still use the video within FCPX's generator section so that you can edit the parameters as you need to
    For the audio, open the project in motion then under Share, click 'Export Audio'. Select 'CAF' format and save to your hard disk
    I then import the audio file into an event I set up specifically for this purpose (per BenB's suggestion).
    When I need it, I then insert the generator from the generators section and then attach the audio file below the primary story line for the audio track
    It isn't pretty but it works.

  • Play & Pause buttons work...but not with each other

    V!P and dzedwards were a big help to me yesterday but now
    I've come up against something else...
    I've got 3 music buttons on a page. The code that I have
    plays and pauses each button perfectly. But if I have Button 1
    playing and I click on button 2 (without stopping button 1
    manually), and button 1 is still playing...both play at the same
    time. Which, I understand why it's doing that but I'm not sure how
    to fix it.
    What do I need to add to the code so as to stop the first one
    from playing if I don't manually click it to stop? The first
    button's instance is monkey7, the second button's instance is
    iBelieve and the third button's instance is Perfection.
    monkey7 = new Sound();
    monkey7.attachSound("monkey7.mp3");
    monkey7.start(0);
    var elapsedTime:Number;
    var played:Boolean = false;
    pauseButton.onRelease = function() {
    if (played) {
    monkey7.start(monkey7.position/1000);
    played = false;
    } else {
    monkey7.stop();
    played = true;
    Thanks. And I apologize to V!P and DZ in advance.

    Well..not exactly. Crap, how do I explain this? The
    pauseButton is where you're applying the stop commands but from
    what I can tell, it's not doing anything because the play/pause
    button (pauseButton) isn't the problem, it's the button for the
    next song.
    My problem is when they don't click the play/pause button and
    go directly to the next button with the next song.
    If it makes it easier to see what I'm talking about, you can
    go to
    http://www.monkeypunk.com/,
    click on the music button, click on Monkey #7 button and you'll see
    the layout. It takes a couple of seconds for the preloader to
    appear.
    The arrow button on the right of the songs is the
    pauseButton. My problem is, when they don't click that but click
    the next button beneath, the button previous to it continues to
    play.
    Again, I apologize if I didn't explain it better
    originally.

  • Play/Pause Button in AS3

    I have search the internet, but I cannot find a simple way to
    create a play/pause button in AS3. All the solutions I find are for
    older versions when buttons could have actionscript directly
    applied to them.
    I created a flash animation and exported it as a .swf to work
    with only one layer in a new .fla file. I have three layers
    created, button, video, and actionscript. What I need is a button
    that will look like a pause button when the animation is playing
    and to pause the animation when clicked. It would be nice if it
    could also switch to a play button when paused.

    I made a movieclip (ppBtn) with 2 frames. The first has the
    pause button and the frame label 'pause'. The second frame has the
    play button, 'play'. I placed your script into the action layer.
    When I preview the animation, the buttons just alternate really
    fast and have no fuction.

    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!

  • Is it possible to change function of Play/Pause buttons on Satellite P100-347

    Hi.
    I would like to know if there is a way of changing the play / pause button on my laptop to stop opening windows media centre. I like to use itunes to listen to my music and the other buttons (back, forward and stop) all work with other programs but there is no way to use the play and pause function without Media Center opening.
    It looks as though you can only change the internet and CD/DVD function in control panel.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hi
    Simply answer: No its not possible to change the play / pause buttons functionality
    The Toshiba Controls utility provides two options.
    There you can assign and select a program to internet button and to CD/DVD button.
