Pet peeve about "Play from Start/Resume Play"

Maybe it's me... but it seems like these two functions alternate their locations on the menu.  Some times PFS is first, sometimes RP is first.
What sucks, is if I'm not thinking... and do it too quickly I end up having to start from the beginning....and then fast forward through the show to my spot.
RESUME PLAY should always be first in the list and the default option.  As it's easy to correct the mistake of pressing "resume play" where it's not that easy to correct the mistake of "play from start."

I don't know what the Classic would do that, but I can offer a solution of sorts. Create a Smart Playlist where you uncheck the first box that matches various rules and then check the one for "Limit to...". Also check off Live updating and mathc only checked items if you like. So for the Limit to... line try this...
Limit to ### items selected by least recently played
where the Red items are the ones you can change. The ### one replace with an appropriate number like 200, 500, whatever. Just pick something a little larger than you normally would hear in a day at the studio.
So what happens is as you play stuff they become the MOST recently played and when you stop the iPod and it dumps out of the playlist, when you go back in all those MOST recently played items will have been taken out of the playlist and replaced with different least recently played.
So even though your playlist is starting over again, you won't be hearing anything you heard the day before or even for the last month or so with 100GB of music.

  • From starter edition to photoshop elements 12

    how do we transfer the collections and tags from windows xp (adobe starter edition) to windows 8.1 (adobe photoshop elements 12)? There are close to 200 collections in ADOBE STARTER EDITION 3.2. It looks like elements 12 calls them albums.

    Trial version is a fully functional version of the product that you can use for thirty days. you can download and install it from http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop_elements&loc=us.
    Photoshop Elements consists of two components. The Organizer with which you manage and organize your media. This is where collections and tags will show. The Editor with which you can edit your images.
    If it does what you want, you would install the product from the trial download onto your Windows 8 computer. Then backup your catalog from your XP machine and restore it to your Windows 8 machine.
    More information about converting from starter edition at http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/whathappenedto/p/photoshopalbum.htm.

  • Why won't iTunes just PLAY an album, in order, from start to finish?!

    Very confused....I can't get an album to play through iTunes on my Mac anymore. It used to work just fine but now, no matter what I try, every time I try to play an album iTunes just picks one song at random from the album and plays that. It  won't move on to the next one, even if I try to press the button to skip to the next track. It always seems to play the same track and won't let me do anything!
    It's really annoying and I can't see what is different from before I downloaded the latest version of iTunes. Getting thoroughly disheartend with iTunes lately; wish I had never bothered downloading the latest version-it's horrible!
    Can anyone out there help with a straight forward and not-too-technical explanation to help me to be able to play an album, from start to finish , in the order it was made without having to mess about?  I am not used to the whole "Apple" way of working yet- previously had a PC with Windows Media Player which worked really easily. iTunes is infuriating me so far!
    Thanks!

    Open iTunes and go to View>Show Sidebar and View>Show Status Bar.  This will make the new version appear more like earlier versions.  Then go to the Controls menu at the top, choose Shuffle and click "Turn Off Shuffle" (if it shows this).

  • HT1349 I downloaded the latest version of iTunes and now I cannot play the songs in order, they skip around randomly. The shuffle feature is off. All I really want to do is play an album from start to finish.

    I downloaded the latest version of iTunes and now I cannot play the songs in order. It will skip around or just stop playing the song currently playing when it is finished. I just want to play an album from start to finish. The shuffle feature is turned off.

    It is working now. I no longer get the message about the item not being available in the US and I can access the store.

  • I want to create a "Play All" chapter marker that will play the video from start to finish in addition to the standard chapters I have-I guess I can auto start the DVD but would prefer a button-how and where would I put this "play all" marker??

    I want to create a "Play All" chapter marker that will play the video from start to finish in addition to the standard chapters I have…I guess I can auto start the DVD but would prefer a button…how and where would I put this "play all" marker?? Thanks..

    The start chapter button is a play the whole movie button regardless of how many other markers you have.
    Once a DVD starts playing it continues to the end.
    Chapters marker simply gives the viewer a place to start playback whether it be the start, middle or near the end.

  • Logic x not synced with material in rewire app when played from start and when bounced.

    When rewiring logic x and reason, play from start in logic..(this doesn't happen when you play from start in reason) when the playhead is at 0 it kind of goes back a millisecond and plays... which makes it not synced with material in rewire application. Sure you can always hit play in Reason or Rewire app... but this is completely unsuable when bouncing the project!!!! Help please!!!!

  • TS1362 songs i have purchased on itunes will not play all the way from start to finish....

    a group of songs from different artist will not play from start to finish and will skip to the next song 3/4 the way through the song...

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • How do you play an album from start to finish without mixing the songs?

    I may be old-fashioned, but I want to play my albums from start to finish without having the songs mixed. I have tried almost anything, but it kips jumping randomly from song to song on an album. Extremely annoying if you are listening to a concept album like Berlin by Einstürzende Neubaten!!

    Either I am a complete idiot (which could be :-D ), or I have done something that disables the functions you are describing. I have taken screenshots of available menus on my iPhone:

  • Movie won't play from start to finish

    I'm an idiot I know but I'm editing my first movie and can't find the answer to this in the online brochure. Here's the problem:
    1. I've assembled all of my clips in the video track.
    2. Have not inserted any transitions because I was having trouble with the "overlap" transition. "Add" button was grayed out.
    3. Whenever I try to play the movie to see how all the clips work with each other, the movie ends at the end of the first clip. I know I'm doing something wrong but I don't know what!!! Can anybody help me out there?
    I'd buy you a beer if you were here!

    Carl and Sweet Polly,
    You guys rock! That was it, I only had the first clip highlighted. When I highlighted everything the movie played from start to finish. Also, learned something new too. I couldn't get the overlay transitions to work so I rebooted, upgraded to os 10.4.11, upgraded Quicktime and now they work. Thanks for your quick response! I probably won't through my computer off the balcony for at least another day now! : > )

  • Do i need separate videos to enable a user to 'Play All' (From start to end) and select certain sequences (e.g. Ceremony, Reception Speeches that start at the chosen sequence and end at the end of the rest of the video and not the sequence)?

    Hi - I am obviously new to Encore but this is what I want to do.
    In a wedding video I want them to be able to:
    1. Play the movie from start to finish.
    2. Select a sequence (say Speeches) that plays from the start of the sequence until the END of the whole video.
    So do I need 1 video for the play all one, as well as the 4 sequences - Reception, Cake, Speeches, Dancing?
    Colin

    You can use separate videos, or a single video. The single video is easier for your desired navigation. You will find more people asking how to get the "chapter" or scene video to back to a menu when it ends, and also have a play all. So ignore the advice on those.
    Single video:
    Your single video goes on one Encore timeline. "Play all" is a button to the timeline, and the timeline has an end action of "last menu."
    Chapter menu has 4 buttons (plus a fifth to go back to the main menu), going to each respective chapter marker. There are no end actions on the chapter markers, so when another chapter is reached, it keeps playing through just like the play all.
    Multiple videos:
    Each video goes on its own timeline. The end action of video one timeline is video two timeline etc. Play all is a button that goes to timeline one. The chapter menu also has a button going to chapter one, and it works the same as the play all. Each of the chapter buttons go to their respective chapter timelines.
    Encore can have some issues with lags, but I don't think they affect either of these workflows. Do not rely on the Encore preview; burn a test disk and play on a DVD player.

  • An app which plays music from the resume point just like videos for iphone 4

    Hi,
               I am using iPhone 4. I would like to get an app which plays music from the resume point just like what we are having for videos.
    Thank you very much in advance!!!

    Thanks for all of your responses
    I've been researching and trying different things and have yet to come up with a viable solution. I prefer to go the free route when I purchase my media streaming software, however, I don't mind paying to have something once I feel it works. I would also like to mention, I want a media server which streams media(music/video) to all of my devices(xbox360, Wii, PS3, Iphone).
    Here is my current configuration:
    Imac 20"( 2 GH intel core 2 duo, 4 gb memory, running ps3 Media Server)
    Apple Extreme Router
    Sony Vaio Laptop(winamp remote)
    My media has been produced by using my Imac with handbrake software(video) and Itunes for music.
    I have tried PS3 media server and it seems to work wirelessly with my xbox360 just fine, however, the PS3, Wii and Iphone are a different matter. I get errors on ps3("this video content cannot be played "(8002288d8). The Wii and iphone wont recognize PS3 Media Server.
    My windows PC(Sony Vaio-Windows 7) has software I've downloaded called WINAMP Remote which seems to do all I want except, my xbox, Wii, PS3 all work but the video quality stinks(digitized flickering, poor quality overall). The iphone app(Orb-Free) video has a great picture but stutters frequently and stops. Audio over 3g stutters(meaning I have to hit play very frequently cause it stops) also.
    All this being said, I still am searching for a media server which can stream seemlessly to any of my devices. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

  • Hi, an hour ago I was about 75% complete downloading OS X Mountain Lion. I was using a wifi connection on an cafe. I turned off my wifi, forgetting to pause the downloading. Now I am re-downloading from start. Is there a way to retrieve that 75% progress?

    I wouldn't do that either. Just let it complete.
    Pausing then disconnection you I net connection may drop the download again and then you may have to start over.

  • Pet Peeve

    I have gotten used to iMovie 08 for its dead simple clip trimming and Library management.
    Here's my pet peeve:
    I use a BT Apple Might Mouse. In ANY other QT program (and many non-QT), as well as viewing video in Safari browser windows, I can hold down the fn key an use the mouse ball to scroll the video-frame-by-frame. It acts like a jog wheel. Very, very handy.
    Doesn't work in iMovie 08. Skimming is fine but is a grosser motor skill compared to scrolling with a fingertip. The Apple Might Mouse is not the best mouse, but it's scroll ball is the best fine control frame jogger I've ever used, especially on a laptop.
    It's very frustrating when Apple programs are not alike.
    Yes, I have made the appropriate comments to Apple directly.

    Here's a little perspective that might help, Lorna.
    Your website is a work of art; a creation made by you and very much an extension of who you are, or who you are trying to represent, if you're building it for someone else. You are familiar with every single intricate detail of the site and more, because the majority of the details which make a site what it is are the results of laborious endeavors that only you can appreciate. (Your friends here in the forum are an exception!)
    And this is really the point; the people who visit your site cannot possibly appreciate the work involved because they are not web designers like yourself. They are accustomed to surfing the web and have developed an ability to take in the contents of a page in just seconds; and herein lies the challenge for a designer: how do you keep them on the page? You have to grab more of their attention from a sensory aspect.
    One easy and simple way to do this is with music that automatically starts playing when you click on the page. People connect very quickly with a familiar tune and without thinking, they will linger for a greater length of time on the page without even realizing it.
    Anything animated, and little movie clips that autostart do a lot to help as well. These are a little more complex but once you learn the process it will become second nature as you design and build your sites.
    The iLife suite contains all the tools you need to accomplish this stuff; and your text editor in your applications folder is ready and waiting to help you with the simple post publishing tasks.

  • Prevent AppleMobileDeviceService.exe from starting

    Windows XP home, 3.2GHz Pentium 4 processor, 4 GB RAM, Dell Dimension 5150
    Since starting to use an iPod, AppleMobileDeviceService.exe starts every time I start iTunes.  This process takes a tremendous amount of resources to run (50-75% of CPU).  I usually go into task manager and kill the process.
    How can I prevent this process from starting when I start iTunes?
    If this service is not running, how can I start it manually when transferring music?  Or does it automatically start when an Apple device is detected?

    generally you may access your PC's services by going start > run > and type "services.msc" without the quotations.
    Locate the "AppleMobileDeviceService.exe" and right click > properties > change the drop down box from automatic to Manual, then click the "stop" button if you want to stop it.
    I have a theory that this might be triggering the iTunes to continuously reopen itself if using wifi sinc.. have you experienced any issues with this?
    :::edit:::
    I don't *think* the service will start itself when you start iTunes, but i could be completely wrong. On the contrary, if you've disabled the service and then try to sync and nothing happens then you know that's your problem.
    Worth playing with.
    Also as a further FYI, it's easy to get carried away with disabling services and what not, once you're in you realize it can really improve a boot up process/overal computer functionality, but i encourage you to research what each service does before disabling. surely you thought about this already, though 8)

    Hi Jim:
    You are a Legend! I have Windows 8.1, but I had the same option in Control Panel and sure enough it was in auto play, which I have now changed and it is no longer occurring. Thank you!!
