If there is no soulution in the article, try the genius bar if it's under warranty or an authorized repair location can probably give you a quote if it's not. You could even try an external keyboard.
Good luck.

  • Today my M-Audio iControl play button stopped working on my Mac Book Pro after I unplugged the USB cord.

    Hello,
    Today my M-Audio iContol play button stopped working after I unplugged it from the USB port and then plugged it back in. I have a Mac Book Pro Mac OS X 10.7.3 and I only use it for Garage Band. The iControl will only play a very short snippet of a song then shuts off? (Like a millisecond) My space bar works fine as well as the GB play button using the mouse. I have searched for the GB preference files listed on some blogs but I cannot find them...help please!! One more thing, I plgged the iControl into my other Imac and it works fine so the iControl is ok.
    Thanks!

    I have searched for the GB preference files listed on some blogs but I cannot find them...help please!!
    In MacOS 10.7.3 the User LIbrary is hidden. To find the Preferences Files use the Finder "Go" menu:
    Click onto you Desktop to bring the Finder forward.
    In the Finder Menu press "Go" and hold down the "option/alt" key, until your user library appears in the drop-down menu
    Select "Library" and in the Finder window that opens navigate to the "Prederences" folder; move com.apple.garageband.plist to the Desktop.

  • Using default CS5 skin, play/pause & stop buttons disabled until going fullscreen

    We are using default CS5 skins with an flvplayback component built through action script 3.  When playing certain videos (and only certain videos, however there isn't yet a pattern), the play/pause, stop & seek buttons are completely unresponsive.  They don't change stats on hover & they are unclickable.
    However, the fullscreen button does always work, and upon going fullscreen and coming back out, the buttons now work again.
    I really have no idea what is going on here, it seems rather random.  So far, the problem was seemingly at its worst displaying a video that was encoded with Sorenson spark (an older codec) and we wondered if it had to do with the file itself, the headers, anything of that sort.  But the fact that the skin and buttons work fine once entering and exiting fullscreen - that is perplexing.

    Just an update, but the following line:
    my_FLVPlybk.scaleMode = "noScale";
    Has something to do with the issue.  When we include this line (which tells the player to resize to the size of the given FLV), we get the problem with the buttons not working.  If we take the line out, we do not see that problem.

  • Next / Previous media keys don't work on 3rd Party Keyboard, Play/Pause does work. [MAC]

    Hello!
    So I am using a Logitech G710+ keyboard with my Mac (running 10.9) , and the media keys (Play/Pause, Stop, Next and Previous) work perfectly fine with iTunes, even in background.
    Now, when I use Spotify, I usually quit iTunes (to stop conflicts), but only the Play/Pause key seems to work.
    It does work in the background, which is good, but crucially the Next / Previous keys don't work at all.
    Any ideas? 

    So I have the exact same issue as everyone else here.  I have a Logitech K750 wireless keyboard running Yosemite on my MBP. I don't necissarily think this issue resides with Spotify, but instead with Logitech.  If I use the media keys on my MBP I am capable of using Next/Previous even when Spotify is in the background.  On the wireless keyboard only Play/Pause and the Volume buttons work.  I think the issue is with the key mapping with the Logitech. Then again, I don't know how the code is written.  Maybe Spotify missed an alternative key map for the media buttons.  I didn't write the code.... The logitech forum is a ghost town for this issue though.  Only post I found was 5 years old. EDIT: With further reasearch I DO believe the problem lies with Spotify.  A tech for Logitech explained to me that Spotify wrote some "interesting" code for the keymap functionality for its Mac client.  A quick Google search shows that it is not only Logitechs experiencing this issue.  It would be great if we could get someone to look into this.  It isn't critical, but it sure would be nice to get fixed.

  • Bookmark bar and menu stop working after awhile on Firefox 12

    I have upgraded to Firefox 12. Everything works fine when I start up Firefox, but after some amount of use (and I can't always reproduce this) eventually when I click on bookmarks in my Bookmark Bar or from the Bookmark menu, nothing happens. Firefox doesn't load the bookmark. If I open the "Show All Bookmarks" window and click on bookmarks there, they load fine and then the menu and bookmark bar suddenly start working again. If I close the "Show All Bookmarks" window the Bookmark Bar and menu stop working again.

    Hi ischou,
    I haven't heard of this particular issue, but you might want to try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. Let is sit for a while as you described above and if you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide ] and the [[Troubleshooting plugins]] article as well.
    You could also try [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles?s=create+a+new+profile&r=2&e=es&as=s#w_creating-a-profile Creating a new profile].
    Hopefully this helps!

  • My spaces and mission control stop working shortly after startup

    My spaces and mission control stop working shortly after startup.  The feature to activate it on the keyboard won't work, also trying to open the app itself doesn't do anything and the multitouch two finger swipe and hpt corners I have setup don't do anything as well.  Any idea on what might be conflicting to cause this?

    Try moving your com.apple.spaces.plist from the preferences folder to the desktop then give it a try.  To get your preference folder you will need to hold down the option key while clicking on the go menu in the finder then click on library then click the preferences folder.

    It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
    First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
    If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
    As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

  • Ipod classic won't charge, 3sec pause every 3rd song, play/pause not work

    clearly i have a problem. it's just over a year old and has suddenly started to malfunction. tried resetting obviously to no avail. first i noticed the play/pause didn't work but can get around this, then noticed it wouldn't charge as normal - given 24hrs plugged into mains it only charge half way - and as soon as you use it all all it's in the red again. also about every 3rd song the music stops for about 3seconds - then resumes - it does this even when plugged into a power source. HELP i'm travelling in SE asia for the next 3 months and can't have it die on me as it functions as hard drive for my travel photos too!!

    What I did was buy a mains charger from ebay,they cost about a £1 or £2
    plus about £3 postage,it works great,at least now I dont need to use a PC to
    charge it up i.e on holidays or at work.
    P.S type this into the ebay search bar "ipod Classic mains charger"
    then change to "lowest first" on the right of the page.
    Hope this helps

  • Playing, Pausing, Stopping Audio in a Timeline

    I don't use Flash that much so the question may sound simple, but how do I pause audio in a timeline?  I have added the audio, play and stop button.  When I test it works fine, but I can't figure out how to add the pause button, or the play/pause button.
    Thanks.

    Set the audio options on "stream" for the timeline. Then - a blank keyframe would do just fine. When you need the audio on, put it again and adjust the start point in the properties panel.

  • Play & Pause buttons work...but not with each other

    V!P and dzedwards were a big help to me yesterday but now
    I've come up against something else...
    I've got 3 music buttons on a page. The code that I have
    plays and pauses each button perfectly. But if I have Button 1
    playing and I click on button 2 (without stopping button 1
    manually), and button 1 is still playing...both play at the same
    time. Which, I understand why it's doing that but I'm not sure how
    to fix it.
    What do I need to add to the code so as to stop the first one
    from playing if I don't manually click it to stop? The first
    button's instance is monkey7, the second button's instance is
    iBelieve and the third button's instance is Perfection.
    monkey7 = new Sound();
    monkey7.attachSound("monkey7.mp3");
    monkey7.start(0);
    var elapsedTime:Number;
    var played:Boolean = false;
    pauseButton.onRelease = function() {
    if (played) {
    monkey7.start(monkey7.position/1000);
    played = false;
    } else {
    monkey7.stop();
    played = true;
    Thanks. And I apologize to V!P and DZ in advance.

    Well..not exactly. Crap, how do I explain this? The
    pauseButton is where you're applying the stop commands but from
    what I can tell, it's not doing anything because the play/pause
    button (pauseButton) isn't the problem, it's the button for the
    next song.
    My problem is when they don't click the play/pause button and
    go directly to the next button with the next song.
    If it makes it easier to see what I'm talking about, you can
    go to
    http://www.monkeypunk.com/,
    click on the music button, click on Monkey #7 button and you'll see
    the layout. It takes a couple of seconds for the preloader to
    appear.
    The arrow button on the right of the songs is the
    pauseButton. My problem is, when they don't click that but click
    the next button beneath, the button previous to it continues to
    play.
    Again, I apologize if I didn't explain it better
    originally.

  • Space bar temporary move not working

    I am running the latest PhotoshopCC 14.1.2 on my macbook pro. Recently the feature where the pressing and holding the space bar does not change my current tool ( clone or paint brush ) into the hand tool temporarily so I can move about my document. I have tried relaunching Photoshop, relaunching and trashing  the settings file and completely shutting down my mac and restarting.Do have any idea if I have done something to cause this behavior and what I can do to remedy it?

    I just checked out the Space Bar = Hand Tool and it works with any tool selected.  But it won't move the the image unless the image is zoomed into a magnification that is larger than the screen's viewing area.  Normal for that feature.   I have never seen that the Hand Move Tool never comes up in any situation on PC or Mac and any OS version when pressing the Space Bar.  
    I am on a MAC Mini with Mavericks 10.9.4  and btw: Photoshop CC (2014.2.1)
    Connect a USB external keyboard to the USB port and see if the Space Bar brings up a Hand and works correctly. 
    If it does, your MacBook Keyboard Space Bar is suspect or your System Preferences has a problem with Keyboard or Trackpad or both.
