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?

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!

The macbook pro keyboard media buttons doesn't work for itunes

hi,
since i installed the snow leopard the buttons doesn't control (play, stop, forward...) the itunes.

Hey ARM77,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
There is a few things I will suggest to hopefully fix this issue for you.
1. Is mass storage mode currently enabled when you hook your BlackBerry to the Mac? If not please read KB13564.
2. Is your iTunes updated to the very latest version?
3. Verify that your media card has a sufficient amount of memory available for the playlists. To check this, perform the following:
In BlackBerry® Desktop Manager, click Device Options. On the Media tab, decrease the amount of memory that is kept free for files other than your music files.

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?

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?

Escape button doesn't work in iTunes, iWork, Preview switching back to non-full screen mode

Though it does in Safari, iPhoto. Is it possible somehow by means of AppleScript, Terminal (or smth else) to enable esc button to switch between full and non-full mode assigning it to all of my apps or is it a bug?
ILYA

But I want use just one button instead of combination of them. Isn't it possible to make esc button the general screen mode switching tool?

HT201263 iPhone not recognized by iTunes and my power button doesn't work

My iPhone just shut down after a call, battery was around 60%, its power button doesn't work and iTunes doesn't recognize it. I can't put it in DFU mode because that's by pressing home and power simultaneously but I don't have a power button. I can't restores via iTunes because it doesn't recognize it. What am I supposed to do?!!

Same thing happened to me today...when googling found people having same problem with iphone 4 and said to hold power and home buttons to reboot. It worked! I was in a panic but its like it never happened...everything is as it was before. Even showed a missed call...

A pop-up message is frozen on my settings page. I was trying to set up an apple id for iTunes when I got a message "required fields have been left blank. The missing information is highlighted in red." the ok button doesn't work. 1st gen iPad.

A pop-up message is frozen on my settings page. I was trying to set up an apple id for iTunes when I got a message "required fields have been left blank.

Please advise how to get rid of the pop-up box. Thanks!

I'm having this same problem as well and cannot advance--very irritating. All of the information is filled out correctly and I've editted my AppleID information online separately as well to get around this issue, but no luck...

HT4527 I want to move all my iTunes from old PC to new PC but Home Sharing on both and it works. At Step 11, I clicked Home Sharing Import button doesn't work.

Help! I want to move all my iTunes music, podcasts, etc. from an old PC to a new PC. I set up Home Sharing on both and it works. I followed the steps in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 to the letter. At Step 11, I clicked on Home Sharing on my new PC, then Edit > Select All so I could then import everything to the new computer. No matter what I try, the Import button doesn't work. There are two buttons on the lower right hand side of the iTunes screen - one for Settings and one for Import. The Settings button is clickable but the Import button isn't even live. In other words, I can see it but not click on it. I have double-checked my firewall and it is not the problem. How can I get the Import button to work?

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

My IPod touch 4g screen is FROZEN turned white , with green , white & yellow lines . No connect to itunes , OnOff button & home button DOESN`T WORK? -

My IPod touch 4g screen is FROZEN turned white , with green , white & yellow lines .
No connect to itunes , OnOff button & home button DOESN`T WORK? -
While installing an update for my IPod touch 4g ( that I`ve had for around over a year )
and turned it off while it was " updating " . I turned it on a while after ,
and it was on the apple symbol and then suddenly went to the white screen with the green ,
white and yellow lines from top to bottom . I`ve waited around 2 and a half hours for it to go back .
I`ve tried to connect it to itunes , but won`t connect nor effect the ipod screen .
I`ve also tried the on and off button held and holding the home button as well .
Nothing is working and I`m begging to worry . it's my baby sister's ipod and she's crying already she doesn't know
what to do....

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I have a IPOD classic late 2009 160gb ... Only my play/pause buttons doesn't work ? Do I need to replace the click wheel ?

I have a IPOD classic late 2009 160gb ... Only my play/pause buttons doesn't work ? Do I need to replace the click wheel ?
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!

Mouse buttons no longer work for iTunes playback (play/pause, next, previous) after update! Help please!

Mouse buttons no longer work for iTunes playback (play/pause, next, previous) after update! Help please!

When you say "mouse button", do you mean clicking on the controls in the upper left of the iTunes window or do you mean that you have special media keys on your mouse?

Stuck on apple logo and Home button doesn't work, help please?

Well, I dropped my iPod Touch 4g by accident and since that day, the home button hasn't really been working that well. Its very hard to use since you have to press it in really hard to get it to work and sometimes it doesn't even work at all. Anways, I was skyping with my girl and I didn't notice that I had to charge the iPod and it died on me so I was like what ever its normal and started to charge it. When it turned on, it got stuck on the Apple logo and its been there for more than a day now? What can I do? I know about the Press Home + Sleep button together but the Home button doesn't work at all anymore. I tried everything really. I tried to connect it to itunes and see if I could restore it but it won't recognize it no matter where I connect it. Tried it on 3 different computers and none worked at all. I can't take it to an Apple store since there isn't any close to where I live and I really don't have anyone to take me there. So is there any other solution to fix my problem at home? or is it messed up completely? Someone please help me

I have this same issue. But also, it isn't just that the lock/home button stops working, all buttons stop working. Even if you switch it to silent sounds are still played. I just got my iphone Thursday. Went to school the next day and pulled it out, it happened while it was locked I guess because my screen was black and I couldn't do anything! Thought it died already! This was around 12. Finally I pulled it out of my pocket again at around 3 and it showed the Apple logo and acted like it had just started back up. Which is what always happens after I get stuck playing a game or something. Help please, has happened two or three times just today.
