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.

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?

Ran update this morning. Now power button doesn't work and soft boot brings to the battery/cord icon as if there's no power. Can't get into anything. Any help on this?

Update for Windows was run this morning---it actually made me run it twice. I was initially able to use my phone but now I get nothing but the battery/power cord symbol. The power button doesn't work at all. I have tried soft boot of the down volume and power button. Seems to reboot but same screen appears. I cannot access anything on the phone. Is there any help on this?

Hey there, javadan! Thanks for letting us know about the problem with your software upgrade. I'm very sorry for the issues you're having. Based on the two attempts to process, I would have to say there was a problem with both install attempts. You may need to process a factory reset. Which model device do you have?

Add a CD Drive, now Eject button doesn't work

I am very new to Mac so if this is easy to fix sorry.
My G4 only had one CD ROM drive so I added a second to the bay. However once starting up the system the eject button did not work. I took out the added drive and set things back to how it was. Now the button still does not work. How can I get the button to work. I can't even get a CD in the drive with out it.
thanks

Hi, Darin35 -
What model G4 is it? If you're not sure of the Apple designation for your model, one of these Apple KBase articles should help you identify it -
Article #58418 - Power Mac G4: How to Differentiate Between Models
Article #42739 - Power Mac G4: How to Differentiate Between Models (part 2)
One of the reasons I ask that is that all G4s which have an external button on the optical drive door were designed for only one optical drive, with the second (lower) bay designed for a Zip drive. If yours is one of these, how did you get the second optical drive into the lower bay?
In general, the external button on G4 optical drive doors works indirectly - it is a plastic part, designed so that pushing on the button causes an arm/lever to press the actual eject button on the face of the optical drive itself. It is possible that arm got misaligned (or even broken) during reassembly of the case parts. You can examine it and test it fairly easily by carefully prying open the external door - be gentle; you are pulling against a mild spring.

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?

Play button doesn't work -- doesn't select menu item

By default, the first thing selected in my encore menue is a text button that says "play all". So, you can start the DVD playing by pushing the enter button on the remote, by pushing the play button on the remote, or by pushing the play button on the dvd player. This is as it should be; this is for my dvd (not blu-ray).
When I burn a blu-ray (instead of a DVD), the play button on the remote and the play button on the dvd player do not work. I can only use the enter button on the remote.
I ran a second test by burning a very short movie clip with a simple button in encore. Again, the results were the same--no problems for a dvd, but messed up for a blu-ray.
I am playing the DVD and blu-ary on the same player.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi Jim:
The problem is not with the player, a Sony.
A couple of months ago I authored a DVD (Blu-ray) of a wedding anniversary the main menu of which had just a couple of buttons -- the video (about 40 minutes) and a slideshow of a couple of hundred slides with music.   It was wedding present. Everything worked as planned, not only on my Sony equipment but on Panasonic and LG. Menu items highlighted as they should and could be toggled by the remote, just as things have been for years (since 1996 for me I guess.)
The people subsequently asked for 3 extra blu-rays and 12 regular DVDs for people who had seen it but didn't have Blu-ray players. No problem, said I. I still have the Encore "ncor" file and plenty of blanks.
Turns out that I must have relocated some files -- Encore could not find the previous folder. Fortunately the Premiere program files were intact so I simple created a new Encore project and created a new ISO file. This time I made a couple of menu pages and created chapters as well as the slide show. I made a DVD (on a re-writeable disc) and it worked as expected. I cut a dozen disks and labeled them. Meanwhile I made the blu-ray iso file (having made the required changes in Encore.)
First got a Photoshop error code -45 (although I had not even opened Photoshop for a month.)
I shut down everything with the idea of starting Encore as the Administrator (a trick that has fixed other problems) and the blu-ray image file was created without a hitch. But still got an ISO file that, when burned to a blu-ray, had buttons that would not highlight and would not work.   Also the "pause" button would not work. (I have a long organ piece with the home menu page.) Nor would the number buttons. Just the "top menu" buttons on the remote.
Obviously everything worked in preview: highlights showed on the buttons that, when pressed, went to the right files.   So everything works perfectly well in Preview and with DVD. It is just with Blu-ray that there is a problem. And it is with any and all players.
The same Blu-ray can be played on a computer using the mouse. Again, the buttons themselves do not highlight so the software remote does not function.
Confusing............
Any additional thoughts?

E63 Contacts button doesn't work

Just updated my E63 firmware to 200.21.012 (18-06-2009; RM-450). Now 'Contacts' button doesn't work anymore. When I press 'Contacts' button, screen blinks, nothing else happens. Cannot view my Contact List by any other way either. However I can access the Contact List when trying to compose a new SMS/Email. Had no luck with 3 Australia and Nokia Australia Customer Support. Any help to fix this issue is great appreciate.

The best option is to perform a reset 1) *#7780# 12345 restore factory settings, keep data 2) *#7370# 12345 reformat, lose all data. If you replace the backup you made, place all, except the settings and install "Conversation" from Nokia Beta Labs.

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!

Upgraded to iOS7 on my iPad Mini and now the mute button doesn't work

I upgraded to iOS7 on my WiFi only iPad Mini and now the mute button doesn't work. It toggles between Ringer on and off and of course, there is no ringer on my WiFi iPad. Same thing happens in the control panel when I switch functions and try to mute the sound there. It used to toggle between Volume on and off. Anyone know how to fix this?

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sigh Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

My iPhone4 got wet. And now the home button doesn't work.

Today it was raining and my iPhone4,which was in my pocket, got wet. And now the home button doesn't work. What should i do to fix it?

I would place the iPhone in a big bowl of white rice, rather than in a baggie. That's what my brother did with his iPod touch that got wet, and it fixed it. The iPod touch works perfectly fine now, and the bowl is better because while the rice soaks up any wetness or condensation, the openness of the bowl gives way for evaporation.
A good idea would also be to take out your SIM card, if at all possible. Put it back in when you're ready.

I was restoring my iTouch and accidentally unplugged it and now it is stuck at the logo and loading bar under it. I can't go into DFU because the home button doesn't work.

- See if placing the iPod in recovery mode with this program will allow a restore.

- Next let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try again.

Probably nothing, the phone has a high likelihood of being stolen and if you try to Restore it you will run into Activation Lock. Turn it in to the local authorities.
