Play/pause mouse button no longer works since update?

I have a mouse with several buttons, one of which I customized to be "Play/Pause". This was great for iTunes -- if I was in Firefox or something, I could click it and immediately play/pause the song.
However, with the new version of iTunes, this button no longer works, neither outside of iTunes nor inside. The button still works with other programs that it used to (eg, VLC), so it's specific to iTunes.
My hopes aren't high, but is there any chance of solving this?

    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?

  • My home screen button has stopped working since updating to ios7 (iphone4)

    My home screen button has stopped working since updating to ios7 (iphone4)
    Originally i noticed that it was less responsive but now it does absolutely nothing.
    I have cleaned the button and also tried calibrating (opening an apple app, holding the power button and then the home button)
    Nothing has helped and I am forced to use assisted touch.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Craig.

    No advice? I suppose I could try sacrificing an android to the apple gods.....

  • Mouse button no longer works

    I just reinstalled my 10.7.5 operating system on my star up disk. All went perfectly except now when I press the the little scroll button in the middle of the mouse it no longer invokes Mission Control as it has before I did the system reinstall. I botted from  the back up (back up done before the system reinstall) of my start up disk & it works as properly. Both my startup & its back up are configured as shown in pics below. Any ideas?

    Also, how do I choose between CDE and GNOME from only
    keyboard (modify some files, etc) in case my mouse
    does not even work any more?You should be able to navigate in the dtgreet login screen with the keyboard.
    Shift-tab, arrows, and spacebar should get you to the menu to choose your login environment.

  • Share button no longer working after updating to iOS 6.1.2

    So this morning I updated both my iphone and ipad to 6.1.2 and now the share buttons in the app store no longer works, when I use the search function. To be specific if I do a search for anything and then try and open one of the apps in the search results and push the share button it never opens up the window to select a sharing option. The loading wheel at the top of just spins endlessly, but if I go to the "featured apps" page and click an app the share feature works. Worth noting that my iPad was also updated and works regardless

    Hey I get this too does anyone else get it? Would just reinstalling fix it?
    I have an iPhone 4 with 6.1.2.

  • Word for Mac no longer working since updating

    Since updating to lion my Word for Mac won't open

    You're welcome. You might want to check for other PPC apps to avoid being caught off guard again. If you go to the Apple Menu and choose About This a Mac, then click more info, then a System Report, and finally Applications (or Software I can't remember) you can see how each application is coded. Anything that has PPC next to the mane will no longer work.

  • BBC radio - listen live no longer works since updating

    I can no longer listen to the radio through the BBC live service since upgrading to Firefox version 5. It just hangs on loading.
    It works fine in Safari so I know it's a problem with Firefox rather than the bbc's website.
    The problem seems to be related to webkit.
    Does anyone have a solution?

  • [SOLVED] Suspend button no longer works after update

    Recently update my system, and now pressing the suspend button (Fn+F3 in my case) doesn't suspend it to ram as it did before.
    Running acpi_listen and hitting the button gives me the output "button/sleep SBTN 00000080 00000000 K" so clearly it's hearing it. Pressing the brightness buttons on the keyboard works (changes the brightness as expected), pressing the power button works to shut it down completely, closing the lid suspends it as expected... Just the suspend button stopped working.
    I saw a post about a different thing which mentioned systemd's config file "/etc/systemd/logind.conf" so I tried uncommenting the line in that file which tells systemd to handle the suspend button, but no luck, not even after rebooting to hopefully get it to source that file.
    Here is my ACPI folder's tree...
    ./events
    ./events/anything
    ./events/lm_battery
    ./events/lm_lid
    ./events/lm_ac_adapter
    ./handler.sh
    ./actions
    ./actions/lm_battery.sh
    ./actions/lm_lid.sh
    ./actions/lm_ac_adapter.sh
    It has everything it should have, i think. The handler script has a "case" for suspend button.
    Running "sudo pm-suspend" in a terminal suspends it, as does going into the XFCE shutdown menu and hitting suspend.
    I can't think of anything else to try. Also, I did look around for other posts, but wasn't able to find anything. If I missed something, I appologize for the double post.
    Thanks,
    --Scott
    EDIT: I swear I meant to put this in "laptop issues." This is embarrassing.

    The line that i uncommented (to no effect) was "HandleSuspendKey=suspend".
    I sort of have a workaround, inasmuch as I use XFCE and XFCE can handle the suspend key just fine, but the catch is that I have to have the DM up in order for it to do so, so it's not really a "solution" per se. Anyway. I don't know what else to try. The only other thing I could think of was to look in to laptop mode utils to see if others had had problems with it, but googling around yeilded nothing pertinent to this particular issue.

  • Lock button doesn't work since update, any ideas?

    All my lock button does is mute, will not lock the screen orientation. Does anyone have any ideas to fix this?

    Rotation lock is now a software function on the taskbar in 4.2 and the button now mutes notifications e.g. so that you can watch videos or listen to music without hearing email notifications etc.
    Rotation lock : double-click the home button, slide from the left, and its the button far right; press home again to exit the taskbar; repeat to switch off rotation lock.

  • Right click functions no longer work since update

    I'm active with Pinterest, and when I would see a photo I wanted to add to a board, I was able to right-click it. There was a choice "Add This", which provided a range of sites -- including Pinterest.
    The Add This right-click function is gone since the update. How do I get it back?

    Lemme tell you.
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
