My menu button is working like the play/pause button

What should I do? Restoring it didn't work when I did it with iTunes and I can't restore it on it's own because the menu button doesn't work properly.

Hello DatCanadianGuy,
It sounds like you are unable to use your Menu button as expected because it acts as if it were a play/pause button. I would try restarting the device first by holding the actual play/pause button down to see if that turns it off.
If it does not, and you have done the restore per this article:
How to restore your iPod:
1. Make sure you've reinstalled the latest version of iTunes.
2. Open iTunes, and then connect your iPod to your computer.
3. After a few moments, it will appear in the source list in iTunes. If the iPod's display doesn't show "Connected" or "Do not disconnect" you may need to put the iPod into disk mode to proceed.
4. Select your iPod in the source list and you will see information about it appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes windows.
5. Click the Restore button. You will be prompted with one or more restore options that may prompt iTunes to automatically download of the latest iPod Software. The 4 possible restore options are:
Restore Option 1: Restore - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod.
Restore Option 2: Use Same Version - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod even though a newer version is available.
Restore Option 3: Use Newest Version - Restores with the latest iPod Software on your computer.
Restore Option 4: Restore and Update - Restores with the latest iPod Software on your computer.
Note: For Mac users, A message will appear prompting you to enter an administrator's name and password.
6. A progress bar will appear on the computer screen indicating that the first stage of the restore process has started. When this stage is completed, iTunes will instruct you to leave iPod connected to your computer to complete restore.
7. During the stage 2 of the restore process, the iPod will show an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remains connected to the computer or iPod Power adapter during this stage. Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see since the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
8. After stage 2 of the restore process is complete and the iPod is connected to the computer, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear asking you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences similar to when you connected your iPod for the first time.

  • 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.

  • Adobe Tech told me HONESTLY that Adobe Connect will NOT work like the Adobe site demo

    I am seconds away from subscribing to gotomeeting.com (Which is a GREAT and REALLy easy to use product).
    I really want the white board featues, etc. At first I could NOT connect at all...then with an Adobe TEch (FROM INDIA) online with me (very patronizing to me also, by the way). I could connect and when I clicked on "Share My Screen" the adobe connect window minimizes itself and becomes useless to me.
    I was told that the tech COULD see my screen. I asked how I would know that. He ACTUALLY told me that the ONLY way I could see the CONNECT window and see all the participants, let other share screens and see and use the whiteboarding is to GET A SECOND COMPUTER!!!!
    I HAVE TO USE TWO COMPUTERS in order to use the features demo'd in the demo video.
    Isn't that the MOST obsurd thing you could tell someone. AND if it is true, what a piece of carp program.
    Too bad, the product does not remotely work like the demo
    AND even worse, the tech support has NO IDEA how to use this product and told me IN THESE WORDS that the product DOES NOT REALLY DO WHAT THE DEMO SAYS IT DOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    What a nightmare!

    Wow ... well all I can say is I've been using Connect for 2 years for remote training and for webinars and all sorts of stuff, and in general I'm thrilled with it.  I've used the freebie ConnectNow service (via Acrobat.com), the $39.95/mo. Connect Standard account (hosted, up to 15 participants), and for the past 1.5 years, the Connect Pro account, also hosted.
    When you are sharing your screen, you don't see any of the Connect "room" interface; all you see is your screen. This is how most of the services work in my experience. If you're just showing a Powerpoint demo that you've uploaded to your account previously, then you *can* see the panels etc. in the Connect room.
    Almost all of my demos/webinars/training involved me sharing my screen, so yes, I do connect a second laptop to the room, logging on as a guest, so I can see what my participants see, and I can see what the lag time is. I don't think that's out of the ordinary.
    I started using Connect after nightmares with WebEx and other services. It's really important to me that everything works equally on Macs as well as Windows; and so far Connect is great that way.
    I do agree the Support is a pain and Connect is missing some features. But all in all it's been nice and stable for me and my clients. You should check out http://connectusers.com; there are wonderful forums and expert users and tutorials over there.

  • Is there a program that works like the old iPhoto?

    Is there a program that works like the old iPhoto?
    The old iPhoto is my ideal program. Unfortunately, it does not work on my new operating system. I like having the ability to look over my images with a slide show. However, the new package folder does not give me complete access to my pictures. Is there a program that will have both slide show with music options, and the general folder for the files? I heard that Picasa was supposed to have a general folder, but it is using the iPhoto package.
    I have looked over the solutions to getting access to images from the iPhoto package mentioned in the discussion forum. I would like a simpler system that works like the old iPhoto. Is this a possibility? I do not feel comfortable putting my original photo files into a system that does not let me look at the file information, and I would like to have the original benefits of iPhoto tools.
    Thank you for your time.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    The current iPhoto is laid out specifically the way it is because of folks like you
    Since iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is now a Package File. This is simply a folder that looks like a file in the Finder. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
    Even in the old iPhoto it was never correct to access the iPhoto Library Folder.
    However, the new package folder does not give me complete access to my pictures.
    This is untrue. Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    There they all are.
    Standard Warning which applies to every version of iPhoto: Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
    I do not feel comfortable putting my original photo files into a system that does not let me look at the file information
    What information are you missing? If you can tell us we may be able to help you more.

  • Is there an app that works like the Mac OS X "finder" for iPhone?

    Is there an app that works like the Mac OS X "finder" but to see files on the iPhone???

    Apps on the iPhone are sandboxed. That means they only have access to their own files. They cannot see the files of other apps or of the system. This is for security reasons.
    There are some apps that present a list of files, like Air Sharing, for you to manage, but there is nothing like the Finder.

    Hi all!
    Does the iPad Wi-Fi+3G work like the Wi-Fi model if I don't have any 3G data plan subscription?

    Yes it does. Added bonus: You get GPS (which the WiFi model doesn't have but which works without a SIM card).

  • Can we copy a CD tutorial onto an iPad? Does it work like the MacBook Air when downloading or copying using the iMac?

    Can we copy a CD tutorial onto an iPad? Does it work like the MacBook Air when downloading or copying using the iMac?

    So it can be .mp4 format.
    If not you have to convert it.
    Try import it into iTunes then sync it to your iPad.

  • Can I add the Play/Pause and Mute functions to image buttons

    A custom skin that was created to wrap around a Captivate
    movie we are creating does not include the playbar, but does have
    both a Play/Pause button and a Mute button, both of which are
    normally located in the playbar. We want to create custom image
    buttons for these actions and assign the Play/Pause and Mute
    funtions to them. Can anyone suggest how we might do this? I
    suspect that the answer lies in creating Javascript that will
    accomplish these funtions. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Does anyone know if it's impossible?

  • Itunes 10 keeps launching whenever i press the "play/pause" button

    since upgraded to snow leopard (amongst other painful problems) i noticed that itunes10 wants to launch every time i press the play/pause button on the keyboard.
    this is very annoying. eg, i am listening to music on spotify and then want to pause the music - press pause - and then itunes launches and starts playing music. that's not what i want and is a design flaw.
    any ideas how to prevent this from happening?
    thanks!

    Apple have put a key on the keyboard called Play / Pause it is specifically designed to operate iTunes, the same goes for the forward and reverse buttons as well.
    Therefore it make sense that if someone presses the Play / Pause button that they want to operate iTunes. If iTunes is not running then it starts iTunes for you.
    I use the feature a lot as it is quicker than starting iTunes via the mouse.
    The software can't tell if you have accidentally pressed the button or not, just as it can't tell if you have pressed the Expose or Dashboard buttons which also take action when you press them. All I can suggest is that you type a little more carefully, especially as you know that the button with start iTunes.
