Playlist always starts at the begiing after turning on iPod.

I originally posted this in the iPod classic section but thought U might get an answer here too:
So I've had a 5.5 Pod loaded with many playlists for a year or so. I Just got my 160GB Classic, has about 100GB of music loaded now and the latest iTunes with new interface. I have several huge playlists that I play in my studio all day. So now when I stop the Pod and start again later or the next day (yes the iPod is off for a long time) , that play list always starts from the beginining and not from where I had left off.
My old pod and the last iTunes would always start again where I had left off. Fo instance I always have shuffle turned on and if I had gone through 303 songs, the next time I turn on and start the ipod and same playlist, the 303rd song would begin-right where I left off the day before. Now it starts at the beginning, track 1 of xxxx many songs every time rather than where I was when I turned it off. What's up with this? A glitch???

If you press Pause and power off, or play sonething else and go back, the selected playlist will start from the beginning.
It has always been this way.
If you press Pause and let it go to sleep itself, then press Play, it should start from where it left off.
If the iPod goes into deep sleep, the playlist will start from the beginning.

Imovie song does not start at the beginning after I edited the duration of the clip

my imovie song does not start at the begining after I edited the duration of my clips. The audio clip now starts in the middle of the song. This is occuring with the second song in my video. How do I adjust the audio to start at the beginning of the song.

For pop ups. From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab.
Select: Block pop-up windows
safari starts always with top page even I have apple.com as a starting window
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the General tab. You can reset your homepage from there.
history its not saving or at least not showing when i press the thingy that looks like a little book on the tools bar
That icon represents your Bookmarks not history.
To view history, from your Safari menu bar click History > Show History
Or Option + Command + 2 on your keyboard.

Tetris always starts with the same blocks

Has anyone else noticed that the first game in Tetris after launching it always starts with the same blocks? For me, it always gives me the red "Z" block, the yellow square, the green "Z", orange "L", purple "T", blue straight block, blue "L", and so on. Every time. Without fail. And although my second game starts with something different, all second games always start with the same sequence too (purple "T", orange "L", yellow square, green "Z", red "Z", and so on).
Seems to me like whoever wrote the random number generator used by Tetris did a very poor job. Hopefully EA creates a version 1.1 to fix this, and Apple makes the update available for free to people who already bought Tetris. I find it hard to believe that something so obvious made it past QC.
PowerMac G5 Dual 1.8 Mac OS X (10.4.5) 5G iPod 60GB

Definitely agree about the need for a 1.1 update. The random generator and also the fact that, on my iPod at least, if I am listening to music and playing at the same time, whenever there is a change in tracks, the game locks up for a few seconds and I can't see the piece and it ends up dropping some place unexpected. This desparately needs to be fixed as many a 12th level game has been ruined because of this.

DVD always starts from the last point

No matter what change I make in the project, the DVD always starts at the last point I stoped! And I need it to start at the main Menu every time.
I've already read many of the topics with similar problem, and tried so many suggestions... none worked for me! Maybe I'm doing something wrong!
I'm using iDVD 7.0.4, Revolution theme.
The first top left auto-start box is empty. Then comes the Main Menu. From it comes 3 other boxes with chapters, all of them with Slide shows (built directly on iDVD) and a few 90 seconds movies (on iMovie, then Exported - not shared with iDVD)
I already tried to delete: com.apple.iDVD.plist and burn the DVD again. I've burned almost 10 already, with different settings!
Please, if anyone can help me, I would appreciate!

All you need do within apple's dvd player app is to select menu and it will remember that spot next time the dvd is inserted into your mac. Or at least it should. If not, then there's something else going on.
A third party set top dvd player (in most cases) will also take you directly to the first menu of the dvd. Unless you simply hit "stop" in which case you should be prompted to resume playback at the last point played. Or again, you can select Menu from the remote to bring the dvd to the root menu page. Your choice.

Whenever I access my Hotmail inbox to open a new mail it starts reloading the mail after every second unless i switch it to full view?

whenever I access my Hotmail inbox to open a new mail it starts reloading the mail after every second unless i switch it to full view. Kindly help me to solve this continuous problem.

I confirm this is a known bug and Microsoft are working on a fix. They plan to fix this before Firefox 4 reaches release candidate phase.
A workaround is to change a preference in Firefox:
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''html5.enable''' and double-click on it to change its value to '''false'''
If you do this, remember to set the preference back to true by double-clicking on it again when Firefox 4 release candidate is made available, the bug should be fixed by then.

[SOLVED] XFCE always starting with the US keyboard

Hi guys.
Recently I came back to XFCE and I have one problem: it always starts with the keymap set to US. I have to manually change it to PL (which I need) with setxkbmap. Also, when I'm using the panel plugin I cannot choose any keymaps other than the currently selected.
What can I do about it?

The way I deal with the multimedia keys is that
1) figure out what keycodes they generate (run 'xev' and do some presses)
2) assign the correct name to them via xmodmap
maybe 3) use xbindkeys to let them do what they should do (but this is probably not necessary, DEs like xfce should be able to act just based on having a correct name assigned to the keypresses)
the xmodmap stuff:
~/.xmodmaprc wrote:keycode 144 = XF86AudioPrev
keycode 153 = XF86AudioNext
keycode 162 = XF86AudioPlay
keycode 164 = XF86AudioStop
and then have 'xmodmap ~/.xmodmaprc' executed at X start (again, some DEs do this automatically, some don't)
But! maybe figuring out the correct option for your keyboard might render all of the above steps unnecessary. I don't know a good place to look for the options, except closely inspecting the contents of /usr/share/X11/xkb - there's a lot of stuff, but that's for instance where I found out the possible variants for the us keyboard.

CE Flash files always start at the beginning?

I have had an online Continuing education course designed,
which has the main contents embedded into .asp pages.
The problem is that when customers "log-out", then return and
"log in" again whithout closing thier browser, the fllash file
always starts at the beginning, rather than where my database
indicates.
I "think" this is caused by the flashplayer plugin "keeping"
the flash file in memory, and starting the "movie" again at the
beginning? Thus if they close thier browser, deleting the flash
file from memory, and re-starting the browser again, and "logging
in" again, it functions correctly, beginning the flash file on the
correct page (which is indicated in the database)
If this IS what is happening, can this be corrected, so that
upon "Log out" the flash file will be automatically removed,
without the need to re-start the browser?

I believe this will work for you. Does for me. Go to SysPref/Speech/Text to Speech. Check box of: Speak selected text when the key is press. Set key. Open the pdf and highlight what you want to hear. Hit key you set. When it's done with it's spiel highlight more text and hit key. It auto erases previous highlight. You'll see. It's not very ideal, but it's what is dealt.

Car Stereo use and Nano - always starts at the beginning

when I plug my nano into my car stereo, it ALWAYS starts playing the first song by the first artist. Always. Even starts up as soon as the stereo recognizes the players. How about resume last song? Or not playback at all until I select something? Is this a iPod setting? Maybe it is the stereo setting.

Toyota with a Pioneer GPS with audio. I did discover that when using a classic iPod vs. a nano, the playback worked as expected. It picks up right where it left off. So, it's definitely the nano, but to be honest, I really don't know what generation the thing is. I don't think it is gen 7. It was a gift.

How can I make my movies always start from the beginning?

I want to use my iPod to present short videos as part of a live presentation. I've conquered the hurdles, and have the iPod sending video out to my projector, but I want to ensure that every movie starts at the beginning, even if I had cut it short in the last presentation.
I thought I saw a setting for this somewhere, but now I can't find it.

Or hit the left side of your scroll wheel when launching it on your iPod

Mail app always starts with the standard account.

iPhone 5s
iOS 7.1.2
Mail app always starts with the standard account.
Can´t it start in the mail overview, where all different mailboxes are shown.
iPhone 4 did it..
Opens in standard account:
Should open in MailBox-Overview: (here just one mailbox)
7.1.2

After some searching I have found a solution. I had to delete the contents of the following folder:
~/Library/Mail/myemailaccount/.OfflineCache/
Note: replace "myemailaccount" with the appropriate folder on your computer that represents your e-mail account. Once I deleted the contents of this folder (there were 2 files), and restarted Mail, there were no problems.
Hope this helps a few people in the future!

I have a 2009 A6 with a 5th Gen. iPod. I mostly listen to audio bks, not a lot of music. Often, the MMI starts on the first song on my iPod, therefore I don't know where I stopped in my 4-6 hr book. How can I get MMI to start where I left off?

I have a 2009 A6 with a 5th Gen. iPod pluggedinto the MMI. I mostly listen to audio books, not a lot ofmusic. The books are 4-6 hours long, vs 4-6minutes with a song. Often, but not always, when I start my A6, the MMI starts on the first song on my iPod, thereforeI don't know where I stopped in my 4-6 hour book. How can I get the interface to stay stopped where I left off? I have gone into iTunes and placed my current book as the first "song" on my iPod for ease of finding it, but often the MMI starts it over at the beginning. Thank you if anyone has any experience with this. My dealer in San Rafael, CA says they've never heard of this issue.

I think my iPod, which is an iPod touch 3rd generation , which is a lot different from a nano, which really makes it almost impossible for me to help you, which is why I suggested that you post your question in the iPod nano community. Your first post says that your product is an iPod nano. I think the people who answer those questions would be most likely to help you. If yours isn't a nano then you can pick the right community from here. This community is really to answer questions about this forum, or issues that don't fit anywhere else.

I started downloading The Hunger Games to my iPod 4g but I want to stop the download, not just pause it. When I go to the videos app I can't find it there to delete it. So how do I get it to stop downloading it?

Just let it download and then delete it afterwards! When its done touch it and hold down until it starts to shake and hit the x in the corner to delete it! Hope this helped!

Ipod always starts at the beginning.

it used to work fine, started back at the song I shut it down with, and now it doesn't. it goes right back to the very first song again, making me have to forward through all the songs to get where i was. also starts all play lists in backward order. reset it to factory settings. No good. anyone help? thanks

You might try pausing the shuffle before shutting it off. This is the way I do mine and it always starts up where I left off even if it is in the middle of a song. Remember that when you turn it back on that you have to hit the play button twice. Hope this helps.

Shuffled music always starts at the beginning

iPhone 4s with iOS 7.0.6 (but the problem was there with iOS 6, too).
When I shuffle a playlist or all songs to listen to through Bluetooth, all works well as long as I keep listening.
If I stop listening, do other stuff with my phone, and then start listening again, the shuffled music starts at the top of the playlist again instead of picking up where it left off like it used to.
In other words.... Say I shuffle the music, which gets ordered as follows:
Song A
Song B
Song C
Song D
Song E
Song F
etc.
It starts at playing Song A. Now, let's say I stop playing music in the middle of Song C. An hour later, I start the music again.
The old, correct behaviour would be that the Music app starts to play with Song C.
The more recent, annoying behaviour is that the Music app starts again at Song A.
I don't feel like pulling my phone out of my pocket every time I get in the car just to reshuffle the music.
I know I'm not the only person who sees this behaviour, but I have seen no answers for it. How can we correct this?

It appears that iOS 7.1 fixed this.

I can't get Firefox to start with a blank page, which I always managed to do up till 17.0, buy now it always starts with the last page.

I have been using Firefox for several years, and know how to set my Home Page by going to Tools/Options/General, and selecting the appropriate tab.
However, since the last update to 17.0.1, It now always starts as it was when I shut down, including multiple windows if I had them open. It is so irritating that I am considering changing my browser.
