Play/Pause, Forward, Backward Buttons

Hello,
Is there any way I can stop these buttons from starting iTunes automatically when pressed accidentally? And is there anyway I can assign them to a separate application, other then iTunes?
Thanks in advance!

nope, it is not solved.
Why have Apple SCREWED with the system commands and backend to make the simplest of media and entertainment functions as miserable as possible.
If I wanted iTunes to start up... I would click on iTunes. If I want to Play or Pause a track that is already open in Spotify (just like I did in Leopard), I shouldn't be too misguided in thinking that the play/pause button should do the trick.
What I don't expect is to get transported to my iTunes space while it loads and then sits there, getting in the way of everything. THAT IS PANTS!
Sort it out Mr. Jobs or I won't buy an iPhone... oooooohhh!

  • Using 'Play, Pause, Forward, Backward' buttons on keyboard with iTunes

    Hey - Second question for day (Third actually 2nd thread)
    I know with other programs you can use the pause and play etc buttons on the keyboard even when playing games and such.
    As of yet I havnt found any plugins/options within iTunes to allow me to use these buttons and it would be great if someone could point me in right direction where to find em.

    Get a Logitech keyboard. All my keyboards functions work with iTunes out of the box.

  • My keyboard (wired) has lost functionality on the music PLAY/PAUSE, FORWARD and BACK, and VOLUME KEYS. They do NOTHING. All else is fine. How can I reassign them correctly? (Don't see those functions listed with System Settings/Keybard shortcuts).

    Crayolla,
    Try doing a SMC and PRAM resets. Sometimes it takes 2-3 attempts for them to work so be a little persistent if they fail the first time.
    SMC RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    PRAM RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • To extend a clip I have `Show Fine Tuning controls' turned on in my iMovie 11 preferences, but the blue forward/backward buttons don't appear.  To get the orange handle bar, is there a hotkey?

    That's a comment in the file. It has no effect at all.

  • I would like to know if there is such an app that allows my iPhone to act as a remote for my iPad ie if I'm recording something on my iPad I can use my iPhone to press record/play/pause/forward or rewind my iPad via my iPhone

    As the King says, if your friends wifi router was relatively new, it likely has not been picked up by Apple's location based information database system and thus there is no location information associated with it.  So your iPad had no way of getting its location.
    The wifi location databases are traditionally updated by wardriving - literally companies employ people to drive around sniffing out active wifi signals and associating an approximate location to it.  Some companies also have web sites to submit that information if owners wish to (Apple does not seem to have one though), and the various companies with wifi location databases buy and sell their information.  Bottom line is though, it can take weeks, months or sometimes even longer for a residential router to get picked up - depends on where you live (more rural, likely the longer time it takes).
    When I moved from VA to NC it took up to 6 months for mine to reflect my new location (I checked it once the week I moved in, and then periodically thereafter, and it finally was getting it right after about 6 months) and I live in a pretty densley populated area (triangle NC).

  • I can't get big forward/backward buttons

    I have always customized my Firefox browser (thats why I have always loved Firefox since back in version 1.x. However I noticed that Firefox is suddenly becoming less and less customizable and more and more frustrating. I have gotten it to where I want it (almost). For some reason my forward/backward buttons are stuck on small. When they are in the "Navigation Toolbar" they are nice and big, but they shrink in the "Menu Bar". They never did this in 3.6 or prior to 3.6, they always worked fine. I tried turning "Small Icons" on and off with no success.
    Here's what I mean:

    In edit mode, at concert level, select the pedal. Then in the screen control inspector, in the mappings tab, select actions>next patch.

    Yes, I did try with Xperia Z3 and it works fine for me. If you have tried safe mode, you should perhaps try a software repair on your phone via PC Companion to see if this can help:

  • Previous, play/pause, and next buttons don't work now?!

    Hey everyone so i recently downloaded and installed itunes 9.2.1 I don't have any problems with it now but i've noticed that on my mac the previous, play/pause, and next buttons on the top row of keys don't work now has that happened with anyone else? now when i look under controls on itunes it says to pause its the space key and previous and next are command then left or right arrow but those only work when you have itunes open in front of you. Its not a huge deal but i was so used to just flipping through music and pausing and started when i wanted its just annoying!!! lol is there anyway to get them to work again?

    I was having this problem as well. They were working with everything else, including my Google Chrome media keys extension (Sway.fm Unified Music Media Keys in my case). If you're running a browser extension that allows you to use your media keys on your browser, disable it. In my case it seems the extension was somehow blocking iTunes from being able to use the media keys. Once I disabled it, the keys worked perfectly with iTunes. I imagine this is probably a problem with the latest iTunes update not wanting to share use of the media keys rather than a problem with the browser extensions, since my browser extension hasn't updated since I first downloaded it.

  • Simulator Play/Stop/Forward chapter buttons

    This is probably the easiest of questions, figuring as such since I searched the forums and I don't see anything on it. I am new to DVDSP and can kind of find my way around, but need help on some things.
    I have a movie I have exported out of FCP with chapter markers as an m2v file with sound as ac3. Placed in DVDSP and then pointed each text item on the menu to go to the chapters and they work however when I use the Simulator, the play, stop, forward and back chapter buttons don't work.

  • How to differentiate bw play, pause n seek buttons in TypicalPlayer Applet?

    hi all,
    I managed to get th frame extracted from avi video by listenin to ControlListener Event... Now my prob is tat whwnever i click any button either play, pause,seek the same event is invoked... How to differentiate between these events????? Can anyone help....

    I managed to get th frame extracted from avi
    video by listenin to ControlListener EventDo you mean[b] ControllerListener and ControllerEvent,
    or are you refering to some other API that is not JMF?
    How to differentiate between these events????? Did you spill jam on that '?' key?
    ..In any case, to distinguish between the events,
    you might try something like this./**
    * Controller Listener.
    public void controllerUpdate(ControllerEvent evt) {
      if (evt instanceof ConfigureCompleteEvent ||
        evt instanceof RealizeCompleteEvent ||
        evt instanceof PrefetchCompleteEvent) {
          synchronized (waitSync) {
            stateTransitionOK = true;
            waitSync.notifyAll();
      } else if (evt instanceof ResourceUnavailableEvent) {

          stateTransitionOK = false;
          waitSync.notifyAll();
      } else if (evt instanceof EndOfMediaEvent) {

  • HT1338 There's no place on my homepage to put a web address.  Also my forward & backward buttons are missing, how can I retreive these?  I called my on-line provider & they told me I'd have to contact Apple.

    On my hompage, there isn't any place to put a web address.  Also the forward & back buttons are missing.

    I'm running 10.8 and Safari 6.0.2 so this might not apply to you exactly but, in that setup: in View on the menu bar is a setting for Show Toolbar. If it says "Hide Toolbar" then the toolbar is showing. If it says "Show Toolbar", it is not showing (so click on that and it will make the toolbar appear).  If only certain pieces of the toolbar are missing, use View/Customize Toolbar.

  • I just got an iTouch first generation. The manual online says there should be a volume bar along the bottom under the play/fast forward/rewind buttons when you're looking at a youtube video, but there's no volume bar there! How do I change volume?

    Also there is no sound coming from videos but sound does come when I type words in and such. Is there a mute button on? At one point I saw a speaker icon show up in the middle of the youtube page but it only stayed for a second and I never was able to get it to show up again. So frustrated!

    Hi,
    OK. Following instructions, I've uninstalled the old Flash Player and installed the right one, and videos are now playing. Thanks for pointing me to the other posts on this site. YouTube and other videos are now playing
    Some of the videos still play jerkily (they don't stream evenly). A few stream evenly once they've been allowed to buffer fully. (I think I'm using these terrms correctly.) Is this solely caused by low bandwidth, or is there something—an adjustment of some kind—that I can do with Flash Player to have online videos stream evenly, even from the moment I start them?
    As I mentioned, to bypass this uneven streaming while watching online, I download the videos and watch them usually using Quicktime Player 7.6.4. Still, they don't always play evenly, but for the most part do.
    I've just tested bandwidth and I'm told:
    5.63 Bbps Download speed
    0.63 Mbps Upload speep
