Playing from playlist then switching to podcast, Pause button becomes Stop

While I'm playing from my playlist and switching to podcast, the button that once was a PAUSE button switches to a STOP button. While still playing I switch back to playlist and doesn't change back to a PAUSE button, but stays a STOP button.
Any ideas as to what's going on? I'm using iTunes version 7.0.2.16 on Windows XP.
Thanks

Podcasts aren't playing from playlist

I subscribe to a number of podcasts, and I add them all to a smart playlist called Podcasts, with parameters:
All:
Media Kind = Podcast
Play Count = 0
Live Updating on
This playlist syncs correctly with my Nano, in that the episodes show up when I view the playlist (and also when I view the Podcasts section), but when I try to play one, nothing happens.
I select an episode from the playlist, the play screen appears, but the time is 0:00 to -0:00 and nothing plays. It's just a gray screen with the music symbol on it. This occurs for any podcasts I play from the playlist, but music from playlists and podcasts from the Podcasts section both work fine.
I'm using iTunes 9.0.2 and the lastest Nano 4g firmware.

Podcast playbacks seem to be AFU since Nano 3G. Not sure if it's firmware or iTunes 9, but playlists that used to play in order don't. The first one will play and then some other podcast comes on in random order. It's seriously maddening!
Wish I could help, but I haven't been able to get a smart playlist to work properly in the year I've owned my 4th gen. My 1st Gen worked fine but this is driving me nuts! And I haven't found any answers anywhere.

Video won't play from playlist or album

I have 2 music videos that play fine when started from video - put if I start either of them from playlist or album they come up and don't play.
Appeciate any assistance.

Thank you so much for getting back to me.
I've looked through the code and couldn't find any path problems as I put everything in a single folder and ftped the whole folder up. I'm missing something though. It works well on my home machine Off a jump drive and off the hard drive. When I go to load it up at school it doesn't play on my school machine or after I load it up on their server. I had an idea that I wonder if my school machine has some type of blocker on it that's not letting it play off the jump drive (which works fine on my home machine). I've loaded it up on the server and will check it tonight on my home machine to see If its some sort of school blocking thing. Other than that I'm stumped.

Scroll down about one screen and you should see:

Playing a Playlist, then moving to another Playlist..?

Ok, here's what i want to do,
I want iTunes to play a certain playlist at a specific time (which I know can be done w/ iCal, I've got that so far) but when iTunes is done playing everything in Playlist A, I want it to start playing Playlist B.
Example, I have a single track in a playlist, we'll call "Podccast Playlist." When that single track is done, I want it to start playing a playlist with a bunch of random tracks in it, called "Random Music"
I could just figure out exacly how long the single track is and schedule ical to play it at the time its over, but that could be tricky, i'd rather it just moved on to the "Random Music" playlist and start playing immediately, after the "Podcast Playlist" is done.
I don't want to dump it all into one playlist, b/c i want the second one to be all random.
any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Langley

What about an AppleScript?
I don't know if it would work or not, as I am not sure of the exact behaviors of AppleScript, but perhaps you can sequence the actions, and perhaps it will wait till one finishes before moving on?
And perhaps Automator could be a solution.
If I can think of a solid solution, I'll post back.

Ipod alarm won't play from playlists

So, I just recieved a brand new ipod from apple because my battery was not holding a charge. I cannot get the alarm to play from a playlist. The only option under sound is beep and that would never get me up. Any thoughts?

I know this is a silly question, but do you have a playlist on your iPod that you can select?
Otherwise the only option is the 'beep'.

My songs play 10 seconds then switch to the next

My itunes is yacked! My songs and or videos play about 10 seconds then automatically switch to the next song. I synced and now my ipod does too! I have looked everywhere and cant figure it out! HELP!

I found that removing them from my iTunes library, then re-adding them, solved the problem. No idea why this should be happening though; the 30-second bit is surprising, and I wonder if it has something to do with 30-second previews that are available on some web sites. Perhaps there's some sort of marker in the file, and iTunes interprets it as the end of the file. But why re-adding them fixed the issue, I know not.

After downloading about 100 songs, some are only playing for a minute then switching songs. Any suggestions? only playing 1 minute then switching songs.

After downloading songs, some aren't playing all the way through. Any suggestions? Thank-you

If they get cut off while playing in iTunes, you probably got a corrupted download. Fortunately, you can re-download any previous song purchase from the iTunes Store at any time, as many times as you need.
Try this with one of the songs with the problem, to make sure re-downloading fixes the problem.
Go to the main iTunes Store screen in iTunes. Over on the right, find and click on Purchased under QUICK LINKS. On the Purchased screen, click on Music, and find the purchased song with the problem in the list below. To the right of the song name, it probably says "Downloaded." Since iTunes think you have already downloaded the song to you'll computer, you'll need to delete it first.
Select your main iTunes Music library in the sidebar, under LIBRARY. Find that song and select it. Hit the Delete key; confirm you want to delete it AND that you want to move the song file to the Trash.
Now, go back to the Purchased screen and find that song again. It should now have a button with a cloud symbol where is said "Downloaded" before. Click that button to download the song again. Hopefully, it will play completely. If that fixes the problem, you can do the same thing for the other songs with this problem.

I'm a dancer and dj and need to know, how do I play a playlist for a gig and have each song stop before the next one starts?

HI,
Please tell me how I can use my ipod touch, using the selected playlist and have each song stop after it ends before going to the next?
I'm a dancer, so it's hard to dj and dance at the same time. I don't want to hit pause!
Thank You,
Natasha

Many restrictions are intended to defend against kids who are trying to bypass controls and break into the System to run their own software from CDs or external drives. If you don't need those restrictions, you can turn them off and allow external drives to be mounted and show up.
Parental Controls is definitely worth looking into. If it does not offer enough controls, There are additional restrictions that can be applied.
These all come from the world of Mac OS X Server as it is used in Schools, and are applied in a completely non-intuitive way. You use the WorkGroup Manager tool from the Server Administration package (which normally restricts features of Users on a Network) to apply additional restrictions a local User.

Play more swf-s from playlist

Hi,
I have installed the Adobe Flash Player version 9.0.124.0 on
my PC. It's work under IE, Opera and Firefox, but play only one swf
file which I selected. I want to play more swf files one after the
other automatically, like from playlist. What must I do to play
from playlist or from more selected files automatically (also
repeat the complete playlist when it's finished the playlist)? Or
whith which (free) player can I do it?
Thanks

Thanks...
This question has a simple answer. There is a feature of
Flash that you can export called a projector. A projector is a
standalone EXE that wraps the Flash Player and the SWF content
inside of it. You'll see the projector option in CS3's Publish
Settings.
So just create projectors and distribute that EXE.
I should note that projectors created with Flash CS3 will
contain the Flash Player 9 runtime (inside the EXE). You can also
create projectors by opening a SWF in the standalone player, then
choosing File> Create Projector.
You can get the standalone player for FP10 from
"Archived Flash Players available for testing purposes"

Why does my playhead return to the initial position when pausing/stopping playback after playing from beginning?

How do I prevent the playhead from returning to it's original position after pausing or stopping with the spacebar or k button? With either the skimmer on or off, whenever I pause or stop the **** playhead will always return to the position it was last at. I don't understand why neither of the shortcuts would just stop the playhead at the point that is being played at. This may seem like an extremely edgy way to go about editing, but I might actually wish to pause the playhead at any given moment and position my playhead nearby said moment before creating an edit point (without having to add a marker and return to it with the blade tool, or take note of the specific duration and use the duration control to go to that specific point or any other unnecessary steps when doing a rough cut). I simply would like the playhead to pause/stop at the moment I press either keyboard shortcut. After the many attempts at trying to make FCP X work for me and the many "workarounds" by FCPX enthusiasts, it's disheartening to know that most other editors in my circle who make a living doing paid commercial work are wondering why I've decided to take a break from using CS6 (and it's integration with the industry-standard AE) to give FCP X a shot, all to make very simple tasks like the one aforementioned a mystery... any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your response Luis and for your previous help (regarding multiple selections being added to the timeline in reverse order when working in list view in the event browser).
Yes i've trashed my preferences, but I should be more specific as to what I am actually doing. Because I am working from my macbook pro and do not have a "home button" which was the original shortcut to "play from/go to beginning" and because I did not like the replacement shortcut in FCP X to play from beginning (without a home button it was something like Function + Shift something else on a laptop) I became used to Adobe Premiere CS6 and made the return key my "play from beginning" shortcut. It was available and did not have a use by itself (only to confirm changes/choices), did not effect it's use in conjunction with other shorctus so I choose enter as my "play from/go to beginning"...
So when I play from the beginning and attempt to pause or stop the playhead, regardless of how I choose to do it (spacebar or k) it does not stop at that specific instance and always returns to where it previously was. This seems very confusing and inconvenient, I would hope at least one of these shortcuts would actually stop the playhead where it was at that moment where I press stop or pause. It's extremely frustrating knowing that I cannot pause the playhead where it's playing if I choose my "play from beginning" shortcut.
Also since you seem to be a guru and an expert, i'd like to know if you cut with FCPX on a laptop and what shortcut you use whenever you'd like the playhead to go to the beginning of the timeline, end, etc since there are no "home" or "end" buttons on a laptop....
Thanks a million, talk soon...

Play/pause button problem on

So sometimes the button just doesnt work. I finally figured out when and why. It only happens when I have my Belkin FM tunecast 2 transmitter plugged into it. Once I take that out and put the headphones back in, the play/button works just fine. Why that happens you ask? I have no idea!!!

I also have a TuneCast II and have no issues with it. That is unless I unplug it. Then I get the same result as unplugging the headphones.
Here is what I posted a couple days ago in a topic titled.
[Micro] Back Button Only Works w/ Headphones Attached
OK. Here is what I have noticed as of late regarding this issue.
. If I turn on the Micro WITHOUT anything plugged into the headphone jack I get this. All buttons are NON responsi've for a couple of seconds. Then All but the Play/Pause button become responsi've but at a lesser level than my prefs are set for. The Play/Pause button WILL not do anything. It is not recognized.
2. If I plug something into the headphone jack all buttons then become fully responsi've at the level I have set in the prefs. Play/Pause functions normally.
3. If I then remove the cable from the headphone jack the Play/Pause button once again becomes NON responsi've and the other buttons return to a less responsi've state.
4. Reinserting a cable results in full responsi'veness again.
Is this intentional in the firmware? It seems to make sense that if nothing is connected to the headphone jack then there realy is NO reason for the Play/Pause button to function or any button for that matter. Is this possibly a measure to preserve battery life incase of accidental power on?
Oh. I have done similar tests while connected to my PC via only USB and had similar results. It seems that the Micro is only fully responsi've when a cable of some sort is connected to it.
Anyone have any ideas? I would especially like to hear from Jeremy or Cat.Message Edited by MicroZealot on 04-2-2005 :5 PMMessage Edited by MicroZealot on 04-2-2005 :53 PM

I am playing a playlist on my macbook pro and it stops playing

i am playing a playlist on my macbook pro and it randomly stops in the middle of a song. Does anyone know why or how to resolve this issue, thanks.

No. You cannot recover an overwritten file because by overwriting you replace all the content of the old file with the new one.

Pause/Pause button that applies to everything

My Original Post:
I have been designing a visual presentation in Flash CS5, there are a few movie clips on the stage that are set to play at a certain time/frame. The problem I am having is that I am not familiar with coding/actions. I want to have a play and a pause button so I can pause at any point (not a specified frame) and discuss with the audience. Then I want to be able to click the play button to resume from that point (wherever I paused from). I hope to get help and be able to learn from your answers. I don't know how clear my question is, but I can clarify if you need me to...
Thank you very much!
A Reply:
you can stop/play any movieclip by using the movieclip's reference:
your_mc.stop();
your_mc.play();
My Reply:
Thank you for your suggestion, I tried using this, but I may still be doing this wrong. What I am trying to do is set it up so that I can click play and have everything play and then when I hit pause it will stop until I hit play again. I want to pause randomly, it is a presentation and I will have random questions where I will need to pause it. I have been getting many errors, but I do not know meanings
I have attached a photo to hopefully back-up what I am attempting to explain.

please don't cross-post or open multiple threads covering the same issue.

Music doesn't start when selected from playlist have to push pause then start. Always playing one track behind what is on screen

Music doesn't start when selected from playlist have to push pause then start. Always playing one track behind what is on screen as my I-pad worksorks fine

Same problem here, since upgrading to IOS-5. Whenever I try to shuffle or play a genius mix (or even simply play an album) the iPod will skip the first one or two songs, play one song and then 'crash'. I say 'crash' because it selects the next song and then nothing happens - the player isn't paused, and it appears to think it's playing, but the time bar doesn't change and no sounds come out. Occasionally I've noticed the album artwork is wrong too.
Rebooting does NOT work - I've tried it a number of times.
Is this just an iPod problem?? If so, I would be surprised if Apple do anything quickly about it - they're more worried about iPhone problems I expect, and we (iPod users) are just the poor relations... C'mon Apple - SORT IT OUT!!!!

If you add music videos to Up Next playlist, then go to look at the album cover playing screen, then go to add another song from different playlist, you no longer can see Up Next, just go to full screen mode button. Using remote app iPhone 5 to play out of iTunes. It looks like it works fine for regular music, but for music videos you can't see your up next unless you go back on the computer to change once you've left the screen. When using the remote app, you shouldn't need to go to iTunes on the PC to view or edit Up Next already added. See first image, you can hit upper right and get back to Up Next (second image). Third image is music video, where you can't get back to Up Next, just swap between full screen and not. I hoped 3.0.1 would have the answer, no luck!

wow, very nice review Makes me want to get a vision for myself.

I would love that feature. I can't stand useing my computer with a single wall paper anymore (I have 500 anime pics that i rotate between every 2 mins ) If you could make the vision rotate background every x minutes or every time the player is turned on, it would be totally amazeningly sweet!!!! (i might have to go out and buy one then :P)
I just hope that creative has better firmware support with the vision than they have had with the touch.
Once again, great review
