Preview: Play after Stop Restarts Disc

I'm working my way through building my first DVD. At this point everything seems to be working fine, but I've encountered one oddity that I'm not sure is a feature, a bug, or the result of a mistake I made in configuring something.
When I preview the DVD in Encore, select a chapter to play, stop playback and then hit the play button in the preview control panel again, the disc starts replaying from the beginning. In other words, hitting the play button after stopping playback acts like I've just inserted the disc into a DVD player.
What I'd like to have happen is for the play -> stop -> play sequence to continue the playback from the point where the video playback was stopped.
This appears to be the way commercial DVDs work (well, at least the one I checked ). Although the commercial discs apparently distinguish between:
stop -> play
and
stop -> stop -> play
One stop followed by a play resumes playback from where it was stopped. Two stops followed by a play restarts movie playback (not disc playback).
So how do I get Encore to provide the experience I'm looking for? Or is this just a limitation of Encore's preview panel?

For "continued playback" in Preview, look at Preview from Here. What you are seeing is the way that the Preview Monitor works.
When you let Preview continue, through the entire process, is your navigation like you want? You can also use the End Action icon to "speed" through the Preview - watch a bit, and if OK, hit it, to go to the End Action, where you can test the next element of the navigation. Another useful icon is the Menu, allowing you to test in Preview, various navigational elements.
As Stanley says, Preview is a rudimentary emulation, and does not offer 100% accurate testing. A DVD RW, or a burned Folder on the HDD, are the best way to fully test all aspects. Each has pluses and minuses, in what will be tested, but I won't get into the boring details.
Good luck,
Hunt

Preview opens after Leopard restart

Well, here's a weird one. After successfully installing and updating Leopard, I find that Preview opens up one of my JPEGs whenever I restart my iMac for any reason. I don't have Preview configured to open at Login, nor have I recently opened the particular JPEG recently.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how I might get rid of this bizarre behavior?
Thanks,
Kevin

Open the Accounts pane of System Preferences and remove any documents or AppleScripts which may launch Preview from the list of login items for your account.

When I attempt to preview a song on iTunes, it begins to play but stops after 5 seconds

When I attempt to preview a song on iTunes, its begins to play but stops after 5 seconds instead of the normal 30 seconds.

I posted this to another thread here:
"I am having the same issue with the preview songs cutting off around the 5 to 7 second mark. It started about 3 weeks ago right after I downloaded an album.
It downloaded but at the end said the download failed due to a network timeout error. I clicked out of the error dialogue box and checked my "Purchased" items folder and it did seem there was a problem, no songs were there only a placeholder of the album cover (or something of that nature). Nothing happened when I clicked on it. However, when I closed and then restarted itunes the entire album was there and there have been no problems with those songs.
Some here are saying they believe they previews cutting off have something to do with the 10.6 upgrade, however I still have 10.5.1.42 and have the problem.
I am running up-to-date Windows 7 Professional with Viper Anti-virus. I don't for a moment think it has anything to do with windows updates, anti-virus or any other 'windows' issues. I believe it is within itunes in its' preview player software.
Dear iTunes, if this thread is being monitored by a rep, please be aware that if I cannot preview more than 5-7 seconds of a song you can rest assured I will not be purchasing any further music through itunes until this issue is resolved and will be taking my business elsewhere in the interim."
I use the ipconfig/flushdns all the time to resolve browser issues, especially when using Twitter. It does not help this particular problem for me.

The volume on my iPad 3 has gone. I've checked the mute button, tried restarting, resetting etc and nothing has changed. I can't hear the music, hear any sound from videos. Most times the video stops playing after a seconds. My iPad 3 is only 2 months ol.

If you have lost all sound and video is freezing on you, that ain't good. Your iPad is two months old so I would not hesitate to contact Apple at all. You are entitled to 90 days of phone support.

If you want to try a couple of things on your own, try quitting all apps and then reboot the iPad - not so much for the sound issue itself - but more as a general "start all over again" sort of approach. It might help with the video freezes.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Reboot the iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If you use headphones on occasion, you can try plugging and unplugging those as well and see if the sound comes back.
You could even try restoring the iPad to factory settings and then restore from a backup, but unless there is something totally hosed on the iPad, that should not be necessary with a two month old device - of course assuming that you didn't drop the iPad or do something accidental that could be causing the problems.

After Effects unrender RAM preview after stop playing it.

Hi! We have 5 workstations running After Effects CS6 on different computers, from HP z820, HP z800, and also on OSX Mac Pro, all of them with or AJA cards or BlackMagic Studio cards. On all of these stations, which they have no less than 24 GB or RAM, and working with 30 Seconds ads, so we have more than enough RAM to keep previews on RAM, they play fine once rendered to RAM, but we observe that most of the times, after hitting stop, and even without doing anything else, the green line is gone in a heartbeat, in some areas of the spot, this gets even worse if we use multiprocessing rendering, in which case, it always vanishes after playing and hitting stop. Without using the multiprocessing, it happens less often, and if we turn off the video monitoring with the AJA or Decklink cards, it happens even less often.... this is happening in several computers we use, and I find hard to believe that we are the only people with this problem? since I have not seen any other reports of this... anyone?
Thanks

Other than the AJA and Blackmagic cards, have you added anything to the systems' hardware?
No, but not sure if the video card... I can, like I said before, load to RAM and play fine source footage, it never loses the green line...
What plugins have you added?
Many, but it happens right now on what I'm working on, and I have no plugins in use, only 4 layers with alpha coming from MAX which I'm comping together.
What codec packs have you added?
How can this be relevant? It happens with any format, on once rendesred to RAM, it has no codec, its the internal AE format. It happens with any kind of source.
At what point in the complexity of the comps does this start happening? Is it number of layers or number of precomps in use?
Well, right now is happening with something extremelly simple, just 4 layers from a 3D render and nothing on it.... I render to ram, it plays, I stop... green line vanishes....
Have you seen this happen before or just in this version of AE?
I have seen this for years... just never really paid much attention to it becuase never considered AE very good at it, but CS6 on of the sales points is how much better caching is... and its not in our case..
As a side note: this is a user-to-user forum. Granted, we are often blessed by the presence of Adobe employees, but it's not guaranteed. There are official tech support channels and an official bug report page that you can use to make sure this is seen by an actual Adobe person.
Thanks! I will report on the official channel once I have something I can reproduce on demand on how to make the program to fail.

TS1717 Mac. stops playing after two or three songs. have tried restart to no effect.

I usually play iTunes in DJ mode. Lately, the player quits playing after just a few songs. My library is on an external drive, and it has never been a problem. The dashboard indicates the player is in play mode, but the track does not advance. I have tried restarting the system, but it does the same thing. I am running it (iTunes 10.6.3) on an older iMac (20 inch Early 2008) with Intel processor, 4GB of RAM and OS X version 10.8.1(12B19).

Thanks for the suggestion. I'd already done that, so it's some other problem here.

In Itunes store, song preview plays for only 5-10 seconds and then stops. Songs in my Itunes library play start to finish.

In Itunes store, song preview plays for only 5-10 seconds and then stops. Songs in my Itunes library play entirely from start to finish.

My Itunes previews have been playing fully now for the past few days. After trying every suggestion possible to fix the problem of 5-10 second previews, I took the advice on one feed to use OpenDNS for your network internet connection. There are internet sites that will instruct you how to do it. Just Google "opendns for (your operating system)". I have Windows XP and followed a video instruction at www.top-windows-tutorals.com/using-opendns.html. Afterward, close your browser and then flush the DNS Resolver cache; Start/Run, type CMD in the open field, click OK, in resulting window type ipconfig/flushdns, press return on keyboard. No guarantees, but my browser is faster and my Itunes previews are playing fully so far. But I still shudder every time I hit the preview button.

Some songs stop playing after minute 1

I recently purchased some songs from iTunes and the majority of them have this issue, they stop playing after minute 1 or 1:30.

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.
BTW the tracks that cut short, did you preview each of those for the full minute or minute 30? There's a bit of me that thinks the previews and the short downloads might be related to each other.

After Sept 2014 update Radio stops playing after 4 - 10 minutes.

Apple TV 3rd generation, rev A.
After Sept 2014 update Radio stops playing after 4 - 10 minutes. Before update, Apple TV played Radio without problems.
Apple, please provide a reliable means to roll back to previous state.
Please DO NOT release another update, as you will break something else.
I'd rather have trouble free Radio streaming than "A fresh new look for Apple TV".
Haha, just tried to select my product under the comment section, Apple TV 3 is not even listed, good one Apple!

Same issues here. Since iOS 8 my Apple TV 3 powers itself down mid airplay, restarts itself, and once off has to be turned by on by it's actual remote. Once it randomly shuts down the Airplay option on all devices is removed and I have to find the remote and click any button to power it back up again. Then it can play for hours or ten minutes and it will just power itself right back off.
Increasing the sleep timer to 30min from 15min seems to have helped space out the power downs some, but it still seems very random.

While using a usb port in a car after about 6 to 7 hours of playing it stop playing any ideal

My ipod classic stop playing after 5 to 7 hour in the car any ideal

This is where you start breaking it down into components. Does the ipod still play otherwise? Does another mp3 player work in the car? Tried a new cable?

Stop playing after 1 minute

iPod shuffle about 2 months old. Since a view days stops playing after 55 seconds. No indication on the LEDs. If you press Pause/Play green LED blinks for 1 minute. It seems all other functions are there but no audio output. iPod is in room temperature, no moisture. Battery is fully loaded, latest iTunes installed. Just every time stops playing after 55 seconds. After switching OFF / ON you can play exactly were it interrupted for 55 seconds again.
Need help, thanks!

Try re downloading it from the Itunes store at no extra cost

I have just bought four songs from iTunes store using my iMac. I can play the music on my iMac and throughout my Apple TV. However after several restarts and double checks I can't get the four tunes to sync with either my iPhone or my iPad.

do you use the same Apple ID on your iMac, your iPhone and iPad? This is a requirement.

Youtube video stops playing after 11 seconds

Mac Pro / Mountain Lion 10.8.2 / Flash 11.4 - YouTube videos stop playing after 11 secs. Only just started happening last week - around time when I installed latest Lion upgrade but this may be a red herring. Tried uninstalling Flash and reinstalling with no change. Checked/emptied cache.

There are several topics with similar symptoms, but I don't think anybody has found an answer yet, as it only occurs on some few systems.
What I would try if I encountered the same problem:
try disable Hardware Acceleration (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/891337)
try update the graphics drivers (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765)

How can I make the iPhone podcast app automatically stop playing after one episode?

How can I make the iPhone podcast app automatically stop playing after one episode?

When playing a song, are the controls at the top of the screen there? (Genius, Shuffle, Loop?)
If not, tap the center of the page once to expose them
now keep tapping the circle on the left part of the exposed controls untill a one (1) appears...
