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?

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!

Mini ipod menu and play buttons are not working

See this.
How to reset the iPod if it appears frozen or doesn't respond.
It may take quite a few attempts and is best done connected to power.
If this doesn't work, try restoring the iPod to factory settings.
However, it seems as if it may be a hardware problem and need service.

I just downloaded Yosemite OS for mac and Premier pro play buttons don't work in the Program, Source and timeline and no audio HELP?

Yosemite OS seem so not allow me to use premier pro. Specifically the play buttons don't work in the source, program and Timeline. Any one have this problem?

Hey,
I´ve got the same problem, that since i upgrade to Yosemite, my R3D Video Files are not longer supported, sometimes it works but most of time it says "not supported File format".. Hope Adobe will fix it.
Play button works. Try installing the latest Java 8 update. This might fix some problems.

Welcome to the Apple community.
A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
Also check your payment details, make sure your details are exactly how they appear on your credit card statement, you might also try changing some of those details, saving them and changing them back again.
You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.
At this point in time, I’m wondering if this could be related to (but not restricted to) the new feature that allows others to come into your home and use your Apple TV to download and play their content on your Apple TV without logging into their account on your Apple TV. The Terms of Use for iTunes Store content have always been to require you to only purchase and play the content from the store in the location where you live and to use a credit card registered in that location. Previously Apple seem to have been somewhat lenient on enforcing such restrictions, perhaps now they are not. However I don’t really have any evidence to support this suggestion, except that changes made to accounts in these areas do appear to be helping many.
If you are successful in resolving your problem, perhaps you would let us know exactly which action resolved the problem for you. If you are having this problem to begin with, can you also tell us your location.

Why does my Desktop Mouse freeze (moves erratically) when selecting menu items in PSE13 Editor?

It seems that my computer with 8GB of memory may not be enough to use PSE13. The Organizer menu works fine when I select menu items. The problem is when I switch to the Editor. My mouse starts to freeze, move fast, or too slow. It is difficult to select
a menu item in this situation.

Unusual. In theory PSE13 should be better as it's a 64 bit application.
Can you try re-setting the prefs then close and re-launch the Editor. First you need to go to:
Edit >> Preferences >> General
Then click the button shown on the image below.

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?

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.

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?

Flash movies with play button don't work

I have the 'simple' problem that everytime I see a "play" button on a web page with flash content, clicking on it won't start the movie. However, e.g. YouTube movies work fine. So it seems it's just movies that do not start automatically after clicking on a link.
Also, checking the flash player e.g. at the Adobe site (http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html), tells me in a flash box I have the latest flash player installed, and I see the flash movie 'flash player is running on your system' with the red ball rolling in it.
I have the same problem for both google Chrome and for IE.
I still have an old Dell Inspiron 6000 notebook with Win XP (latest updates) and ATI mobility Radeon X300 graphics chip, for which I also installed the latest available drivers.
Experimenting with Flash Player settings was unsuccessful so far (e.g. no hardware acceleration, clearing all internet data in the Flash Player global settings tool).
My desktop (also with Win XP and with the same browsers and Flash Players/Flash Plugins installed works fine...).
I also know that it worked at an earlier time with this NB...
I managed to run the movie with a Linux Live CD but that is not what I want to do every time...
Any idea is highly appreciated.....

My apple tv remote play button is not working so i can not access anything...what can i do?

My remote will not work on Apple TV. The play button does not play so I can not access any content. What can I do?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

My iPod Nano 5th Gene Play button is not working

My iPod Nano 5th gene's play button stopped working recently, meaning I can't pause my music and I have to use the "sleep" option to turn it off! I've had it for nearly 3 years, so the warrant is up, and I live no where near an Apple store.

Is none of the usual 5 R's of troubleshooting resolve the issue, you can be certain that it's hardware related.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/nano5gen/
So whether or not you live near an Apple store, you still need to take or send your iPod in for service to have an out of warranty exchange done for the prices listed on this page.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
You could also do some research on third party services that will actually repair the damaged component for a little less than what you would pay if you went the Apple route. A Google search for "iPod Nano repair service" should give you a number of results to work with.

Find Next button is not working in member selection for Smartview V11.1.2.1

Hello,
Quite urgent.
When group of users select Smartview --> Member Selection --> "FindNext" or "Find" button is not working.
The same option is working fine with my credentials. But problem exists for set of 3 users.
Please suggest asap.
Thanks in Advance,
Tej

Hi Iain,
Thanks for your reply.
* All 3 users are part of same group.
* Created user with similar group and checked for member selection option to verify "Find Next" button functionality. It worked fine.
* Verified filters assigned to this group. No filters are assigned.
* Checked for version again - Version is V11.1.2.1.00 (Build 271). It is exactly same as other systems where the functionality is working fine.
* Installation is carried out by company IT team as administrator, so that can not be an issue.
kindly suggest if you have any other inputs to be verified.
Best Regards,
Tej

Play button no longer works

I installed the 2014 version of CC and since then the play button (space bar) no longer works. Everything else seems to be working fine but I can't play my timeline. I can scrub through the footage but it won't play. Does anyone else have this issue / how can I fix it?

Hi MicLove445,
See if the solution in this post helps: Re: Premiere Pro CC 2014 won't play anything.
Thanks,
