Play modes (i'm doing something wro

Let's say I want to listen to only one artist and I have a few albums of this artist on my Zen Micro. Now lets say I want to shuffle the songs only from that artist. Can I do this without making a specific playlist? I can't figure out how to to do it. Thanks!!!

Selkie: It's pretty easy. Go to the artist in the Music Library on the player, and press play to queue all the tracks. Then change the play mode to shuffle, if it isn't already.

Am I doing something wro

I just started using my Nano Plus. I downloaded an e-book from my library in protected wma format. It plays fine on my computer using the Media Source Organizer. Using the Organizer, I copied it to my Nano. The only other thing on my Nano is the Intro that came with it. When I scroll to my e-book and try to play it, it switches to the Intro and plays the Intro. I can't get it to play the e-book although it appears to be there. Thanks for your help. I can't find any documentation on playing audio books. I'd also like to know how to bookmark my book - assuming I can get it to play!

Glad to hear that. I believe you might have done it wrongly using MediaSource as that should work too. In MediaSource, you should transfer the audio files to the Zen player listing and not to the My Computer->Removable disk listing.

When using Facebook with Firefox the pointer always has a little round circle by it rotating as if it is doing something. This happens when I play games on facebook and after I downloaded the new version of Firefox. How can I make this stop?

Using Facebook the pointer on the screen has a circle by it that is rotating when I play games. Acts like it is doing something, I would like to know if there is a fix for this?

DVD's don't always play...am I doing something wrong?

Hey, sorry if this has been posted several times before...I have dvds that play fine on higher end dvd players, but won't on "off" brand players...I'm using FCP4 and DVDStudio Pro3. I use compressor from FC and export as mpeg 2 with a 2hour setting. I then imput the compressor Audio/video files into DVD SP, build and format the dvd. I don't have any problems playing on a good player, but my clients complain that they have problems on an off brand player...is this to be expected on these consumer created dvds, or am I doing something wrong? Thankyou for your input

ok, i'm looking at compressor and don't see the audio format that has been talked about to use. The one that has been used is under the MPEG-2 120 Min high quality encode. The following is a copy and paste of the summary for each preset.
Video Preset:
Name: MPEG-2 120min High Quality Encode
Description: 3.5Mbps,2-Pass VBR,4:3
File Extension: m2v
Video Encoder

Width and Height: Automatic
Pixel aspect ratio: default
Crop: None
Frame rate: (100% of source)
Aspect ratio: 4:3
Field dominance: Auto detect
Average data rate: 3.5 (Mbps)
2 Pass VBR enabled
Maximum data rate: 7.5 (Mbps)
High quality
Best motion estimation
Closed GOP Size: 1/2 second, Structure: IBBP
DVD Studio Pro meta-data enabled
Audio Preset:

File Extension: aiff
Audio Encoder
Format: QT
Sample Rate: 48.000kHz

I looked under the different compression settings and it says the encoder is AIFF, but under the settings for it, it doesn't list AC3. My Compressor version is 1.2.1
Also, how does all the settings look for the video...see any prolems that would explain the low end players messing up?
Thanks again for the help...its appreciated!

HT4528 Calendar under IOS7.0.2 has been changed. does not work the same. what happened to LIST mode (multiple entries being displayed in list format) or am i doing something wrong?

I got use to using Calendar app where multiple entries are stacked under IOS6. Under iOS7.0.2 I enter a new appointment and after the entry I can not find the new appointment after i click on done. Am I doing something incorrect HELP!

The list view does not appear to be among the "standard views" for the Calendar app in iOS 7.0.x. You can still get the list view by going to the day view and hitting the search button (magnifying glass icon).

Is there a way to choose a song without altering play mode?

I recently got an Ipod Nano 16g and its my first i-product. I gotta say, the whole searchable database method of organizing songs is kind of counterintuitive to me, especially in how it relates to play mode and song searches.
For example, I downloaded the recent series of Mp3's from Phish's 3 days in VA. There are three different albums, each with multiple discs. If I use the album browsing feature where you tilt the thing sideways to look through the albums and their cover art, its easy enough to find the first of the three albums.
Ok, great, it plays. But it only plays the first disc worth. I want it to continue to the next one.
Is there any way to enable a mode so that no matter what song you choose to play, it will "just continue to the next song in the 'all songs' playlist"?
That's all I really want to do. I have a lot of MP3's and unless I'm listening to a specific album, I like keeping it on "random". Sometimes I want to listen to a specific song, but no matter what method of search I do for that song, it seems to change the play mode.
Like, I search by album as described above, it will only play that album. If I search by artist, it only plays songs from that artist. If I search for a song, it only plays that one song, even if I have random mode enabled. If I go into the "now playing" playlist, I can click forward and backward until I come across the song I want but that is crazy tedious when there's 2k songs to go through.
All I want to do is be able to search for a particular song, play that song, then continue on with what it was doing before, either "all songs" or songs from a particular playlist. Every other media player I've ever encountered, including my car stereo (via USB flash drive) works that way. I'd set up the ipod in "disk mode" for my car, but then I couldn't use the ipod as an ipod, not to mention the car stero recognizing the ipod as an ipod so I couldn't access the songs anyway.
I'm hoping there's something simple I've overlooked, maybe one of the menu options I don't fully understand.
Thanks for any help!

There are several points in your post.
I like keeping it on "random".
If you want to play any list in shuffle mode (which is random order), go to the Settings screen on the iPod and set Shuffle to Songs.
Ok, great, it plays. But it only plays the first disc worth. I want it to continue to the next one.
In iTunes, you can create a new playlist. You do so by clicking the + (plus) sign at the bottom left corner of the iTunes window (or from the File menu). Name the playlist appropriately. Put all the songs you want (in this case the songs in this collection) in the playlist, by dragging and dropping them (to the playlist) from the main iTunes music library. After syncing the iPod, instead of playing the album, play the playlist.
You can also change the way this particular collection is categorized in iTunes. Go to the main Music listing under LIBRARY in the iTunes sidebar. Click on the list heading for Artist (or Album ) so that you can see all of the songs from this collection together. You can edit what iTunes has in the album field for each song so iTunes that considers all the songs to be in one album, if you want to do something like that. How the songs are organized on the iPod depends on how they are organized in iTunes.
it will "just continue to the next song in the 'all songs' playlist"?
You will have to show a list on the iPod (either a playlist or a by-artist list or a by-album list) that shows ALL the songs you want to eventually play. Then the iPod will play that list, either sequentially or in shuffled order. If you want it to continue playing after playing through the list, you can set, on the iPod's Settings screen, Repeat to All.
All I want to do is be able to search for a particular song, play that song, then continue on with what it was doing before
I think creating playlists is the answer. Then you'll get your favorite songs.
However, if you want to pick a starting songs and make it play continuously through your entire library randomly, its
Music -> Songs -> pick song to play
To make it play that list in shuffle mode, set the Shuffle setting to Songs.
If you just want to start a shuffled sequence at a random song, select +Shuffle Songs+ from the iPod's main screen. With the 4th gen nano, you should also be able to shake it to start a shuffled sequence. This plays all of your songs in a random order.
There is also the Genius feature, where you can choose a starting song and let the iPod create a playlist of 25 songs that +work well+ with that starting song. A very cool feature I use often.

Go to the Edit -> Preferences-> Playback
In The bottom section of the page click the drop down menu by Play Audio Using and select Windows Audio Session or something other than "Direct sound" or whatever it displays. Click Okay. This worked for me! I hope it works for you too!

Smart Object Effects Not Shown in 'Play Slide' But Shown in Other 'Play' Modes?

Hi,
In Captivate 7, effects which I add to smart objects using 'Add Effect' in the Effects tab do not show when I 'Play Slide' but do show in any other 'Play' mode e.g. 'Play Project'. Any thoughts would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
Richard

F3 Play Slide is only going to show you what you can see in Edit mode. It only moves the frame cursor across the timeline but does not publish the project to an output.
You can see a Live Preview of the effect applied to a given object by opening the Effects tab (Window > Effect), selecting the object on the slide, and then clicking Live Preview button.
But the best way to see how everything works is to either hit Cntrl + ENTER to publish and preview the project, or else hit F10 to publish to browser.

Screenshot of DVD in Play Mode?

This is not an iDVD question strictly speaking, but I'm not sure where else to ask it: with the newest version of OS X, how can I take a screenshot while I have a DVD in play mode? I am trying to capture some still images from a DVD and cannot figure this out.

Hi Meatyard
Welcome to apple discussions. There's an app called SnapZProX (somewhat pricey though IMO when compared to the price of apple's iLife). But it can do this well.
http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzprox/
And I know it's not always possible to do a dvd screen grab while in Preview but the approach I use that works well for me is pressing all three of the following keys Command + Shift + 4

1. Make sure that your machine is compatible with Mountain Lion

2. Run into safe mode and test downloading it there

Why doesnt the netflix app have a continuous playing mode? I shouldnt have to select the next episode every 24 minutes.

Why doesnt the netflix app have a continuous playing mode? I shouldnt have to select the next episode every 24 minutes. Even the cheap PS3 Netflix app supports this.

Compared to what?
Does Netflix behave differently on other devices?

Switching tabs in firefox 4 is slow. Am I doing something wrong

When I have multiple tabs opened to various web sites and I go
to switch from one tab to another there is a significantly greater
delay in switching than there was back in Firefox 3.6.17. Other
than that, Firefox 4 does seem to be faster.
It made me wonder if I am doing something wrong that might
cause firefox to slow up in switching web site contexts like that?

Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

My iphone is stuck in emergency call mode and itunes does not recognize my phone

my iphone is stuck in emergency call mode and itunes does not recognize my phone

NVM... broke down and called Apple Care. Pressed on/off button and held it for a few minutes before pressing home button. In recovery mode, but at least it is doing something now!

I must be doing SOMETHING stupid!

OK, so I'm the only person in San Francisco who does not have an iPod. But I would like to listen to some iPod broadcasts which are available from the iTunes store.
I can get to the correct destination in the iTunes music store: Podcasts>PBS>Shields and Brooks|NewsHour with Jim Lehrer Podcast|PBS. Once there, it looks a lot like the setup when I purchase and download regular music from the store (which I do with no problems).
The main difference is that there are various buttons which say "Subscribe" and "Get Episode", but when I push them nothing happens.
If I select an episode and double-click on it, it appears in the player window, but cannot be played.
Evidently there is more to this podcast stuff than I realize. Any help will be appreciated!
Thanks
