Music button do nothing

When I make a slideshow in iPhoto 8 I'm not able to select the music button to choose the music of the slideshow.
The button is there (iTunes logo) but when I click on it, nothing happen.
Someone have the same problem?
This button work well in the past, I don't know why suddenly the button does'nt react when I click on it

Delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and try again.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • How do you get a cd out of the imac g5 drive if the computer doesn't know it's in there.  I've tried shutting it off and holding the mouse button, but nothing works because the computer can't eject what it isn't registering to be there in the first place.

    I can't get access to the cd that is probably slid past where it is supposed to go.  The computer doesn't note it is in there.  This happened once before and I used another cd to tap it into place, and then I could eject the cd.  It's a library music cd and nothing I've done to eject it, works.  The dvd drive is empty to the computer, even though I've tried to trick it by getting it to burn a cd or dvd.  It says insert disc.  Hope someone knows how to pop it into place or open the thing up to get access to the drive.  That cd is due! 

    power off your machine.  hold down your left mouse button.  power on your machine.  This should eject the cd.
    Eject cd
    Here is a web page on twelve ways to eject the cd.

    You indicate you are running on a g5, but 10.6 doesn't run on on a G5.
    On a PowerPC-based Macintosh (but not an Intel-based Macintosh), you may use Open Firmware to eject a CD or DVD disc when normal methods for ejecting it have not succeeded.
    Immediately after the startup sound, press and hold the key combination Command-Option-o-f. Enter commands:

  • 'Sync' button does nothing with my iPod Classic on new iTunes.

    I have a new computer and an old ipod.  I had to download the newest version of itunes, which DOES recognize my iPod, but won't sync up with my new music.  I click the sync button and nothing happens.  I see that SEVERAL people have asked this question already, and nobody has an answer.  Please help.

    Sync is one way, computer to iDevice.
    The only exception is iTunes purchases.  To transfer iTunes purchases with the device connected, select File > Transfer Purchases.
    The best way to move iTunes content to the new computer is to copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

  • Music buttons on the lock screen no longer work with ios7.

    on my 4S, when ios 7 was loaded, bluetooth music play buttons and the music buttons on the lock screen no longer work.  Hence, I can neither use the music buttons at the lock screen nor can I use the control on my car (bluetooth...) to change songs.  Volume adjust at the lock screen appears to work.  Can't pause/play or move to the next/prior music.

    I did see a reply on a similar post:
    You can try:
    - 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: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    However, some onther users have reported the same problem so it it may be a bug in iOS
    I did the RESET DEVICE only to mine (i.e., did not reset all settings...) and it did work to fix the buttons (haven't tested on the car, but it'll likely be OK now...).  Certainly there is a bug somewhere that needs fixed...

    Well, if you've indeed tried EVERYTHING, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.

  • HT5957 I just updated my iphone 4 to the iOS7.0.2 and now I can't get the phone to work its frozen on a screen that shows a blue music button and Itunes below it then below that an arrow pointing upward and below that a pic of my cable charger. Any help?

    If you are implying that you've never synced and backed up the device, well that is simply not smart.
    User's can backup their iOS devices at any time by connecting to iTunes and selecting the backup option from the Summary tab or by backing up to iCloud.
    Most people will regularly backup their devices and transfer iTunes purchases to iTunes on the computer for safekeeping.
    Basically, you are stating that the device has not been used as designed and now data has been lost.  Sorry, that's just too bad.  But at least now you know how to prevent this in the future.

  • Just bought a nano and want to download some of my iTunes library. The "Music" button shows almost all my selections but some albums are missing, yet thos albums appear on the nano icon on my desktop but none of the others. What's happening?

    Just bought a nano and want to download some of my iTunes library. The "Music" button shows almost all my selections but some albums are missing, yet ONLY those albums appear on the nano icon on my desktop after being dragged there but none of the others. What's happening?
    I've read some of the post here that I thought might help but they refer to titles (Music) and triangles in the "Devices" window which are nowhere to be seen when I open the "Devices" window.
    I have iTunes 11.0.3 and Mac OS 10.6.8. Does this make a difference?

    I should mention that, for the first problem, I do make sure that my new tracks are stored in the folder where I told iTunes that my music is in. Also, when I say the cataloging of my library stops short of cataloging all my songs, I have tried leaving the computer unattended for days (my computer's sleep mode is disabled). It always stops before cataloging all of my music regardless of whether I am doing something else while iTunes is cataloging, or if I just let iTunes be the only program that's open during the cataloging process.

  • Music buttons not working in lock screen on my iPhone 4 after iOS7 update.

    After I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS7, the music buttons like PLAY, REWIND and FORWARD are not working in the locked screen as well as on swipe up menu. Any resolution please?

    hi there
    i had a problem with my wifes iphone 4s, today morning while travelling to work i changed a setting on repeat option and changed it to repeat artist, it was fine until when i finish my work and on my way back i found songs are not playing anymore, lots of stop signs next to my song list, play/pause button not working, album arkwork keep moving from one to another on its own, so after i reach home i try to do some research on Apple support communities, try to soft reset my phone closing all the apps on background didnt work, also note that control centre music player was not working as well. none of the solutions worked. after trying for two hours i found out that the trouble is in repeat options , so i changed it from repeat artist to repeat off. and the music start playing as usual, but i still have those stop buttons next to the songs i tried to play earlier. At least it fixed temporarily. please also note that in the meantime i tried to sync my phone with the pc and suddenly its start syncing all the songs again assuming there were no songs on my iphone.  so guys i think soft reset might not help all the time but try to remember what settings you changed recently and change it back to the original option, not sure ,but it might help.

  • HT1430 My iPhone 4 will not power on.  When connected to iTunes it shows battery at 100%.  Pressing and holding the sleep/wake button does nothing; just a black screen.

    My iPhone 4 will not power on.  When connected to iTunes via my computer, it is recognized and shows fully charged battery.  Pressing and holding the sleep/wake button does nothing; just a black screen.  Any suggestions?

    Only way is to bring it to the Apple Store and use the warranty if it hasn't expired

    have you tried charging the device ?
    if so and it still does not work you can try a Forced Recovery..
    by holding the HOME button down and plugging it into your computer at the same time..

  • Why does the Downloads Save files to Browse button do nothing when pressed?

    I'm trying to download a couple of different files from a couple of different web sites. I see the "Opening {filename}" dialog box with the "Would you like to save this file?" question and the Save File button, but nothing happens when I click on the Save File button except that the dialog box closes.
    When I go into Tools/Options General tab, I select the "Save files to" button, and when I click on the Browse button to choose a directory, nothing happens.
    It appears I can no longer download files.

    Please disregard. My "My Documents" folder is mapped to a file server on the network, and for some reason the last time I logged in, I was denied access to that network resource. I logged out and logged back in again, and I am able to download successfully.
    D'oh.

  • I have deleted the music button/app from my phone. How do I get it back in my main settings?

    I have deleted the music button/app from my phone. How do I get it back in my main settings?

    You can't delete it.  Look on all your screens and inside all your folders.  If you still can't find it go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.  This will restore the home screen to its original configuration but may move other apps around to do so.  (You may want to take some screenshots of your screens first so you can recreate your app layout.)
