Strange menu button issue

I created a DVD from iMovie last night and it came out fine - there was one simple menu button for "play all" - after watching the movie, I decided to cut a piece from it in iMovie and of course, when I opened up iDVD it asked me if I wanted to updated the modified assets - I said yes. Now, I know that sometimes when there's chapters this will screw everything up and you have to start from scratch - but there are no chapters, so I figured this wouldn't be a problem and I burned the disc.
I then go to play the disc, and I tried two Sony Blu-Ray players and one DVD player and they all had the same problem with this menu button - it was a bullet shape and the circle kept blinking yellow/white - as if it was being selected on it's own without pressing a button on the remote - I then hit "enter" to play it and it wouldn't play the movie - I had to hold down the enter button for an extended period of time to make it play the movie (which it can, in full) - but I'm curious as to why the button would react this way. Obviously this isn't acceptable so I made a new project from scratch and am burning as I type this - hopefully it's ok - but I'm wondering if it had something to do with altering a clip in iMovie even though there were no chapters. I should also mention the problem disc did not show this problem when playing it on the computers DVD player - nor in the preview from iDVD.
Any thoughts?

I think you are experiencing, in scientific terms, some goofiness. It is possible for iDVD to lose its footing when assets are updated, and sometimes you have to Delete Encoded Assets, to get it reoriented, I've not heard of a problem which manifests itself in that fashion. Re-starting from scratch should solve goofiness caused by updated assets.

  • Something strange, menu button doesn't work

    Hello,
    I have ipod mini 4g.
    faw days ago i installed an update that will show me hebrew on my ipod.
    The hebrew works but suddenly i discover that the menu button doesn't.
    But it's not mechanic problem, because i can do reset.
    (middle button+menu button).
    Yesterday i discover something really strange,
    the key-locker button do the action that the menu button supposed to.
    If i lock the keys and then open the lock, the "ipod screen" go to the last screen (I hope u understand what i ment).
    I tried to restore the ipod, to install update and non updates, but nothing!
    If anyone have an idea- how to format completly and install, or somehow go to the ipod registry??
    I bought it in another country and have no support in israel for that.
    Plz help.. thx.

    hello
    A. You do have support in Israel, even if you got your iPod from some place else, like US. You can bring your iPod with the recied to Yeda. For more info you can call 03-9005353
    B. If you download the Hebrew from Yeda's site, and now you have problems witht the iPod, you can call the hot line for support 03-9005300.

  • Menu Button issue with the iPod Universal Dock with Remote

    What is the status of a firmware release to address the inability of the Apple Remote to mimic the menu button on the iPod?
    Is it even possible to update the firmware to provide this functionality? What is the hold up? I am boycotting further hardware purchases until this is taken care of or Apple accept s a return of my Universal Dock, Remote, Second power brick, Firewire cable, and AV cable.
    It is shameful for Apple to have sold these items and not made it clear that the menu button may as well be a sticker.

  • Still Frame vs Video Loop Menu Button Issues

    Hello,
    I have a home video of a wedding I am trying to burn to a DVD using iDVD. I have 7 chapter markers in the movie and I would like to use still clips from the video as the icons in the chapter menu buttons. However, once I select "still image", I can no longer scroll through the entire movie to select the image I want. Instead, it only gives me the first 1 minute 37 seconds of the clip. Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong?
    Thanks,
    Joe

    Nevermind, I have figured it out.

  • Stuck on a Playlist - Menu button issue?

    Have a clickwheel 20G ipod which seems to be stuck on a particular playlist. When I press menu to access the previous menu, nothing happens. The menu button seems to work for other functions like backlight and turning on the ipod. Tried resetting by toggling the hold switch then simultaneously pressing menu and centre select button for way over 10 seconds repeatedly but am not able to achieve the reset with the apple logo displayed. Again nothing happens when I do this.
    Anybody with any ideas?

    Does removing the battery help?

  • DVD Studio Pro 4.1 color/menu/button issues

    I just got the latest version of Final Cut Studio with DVD Studio Pro 4.1 and am having issues with menus and buttons. For some reason no matter what I do to the color settings my menus are always gray and the buttons never reflect the color changes I make. Am I missing something?

    Hi - welcome to the discussions!
    Could you be a little more specific here... for example, when you say the menus are always gray, do you mean when you use the menu editor or after you have built a disc? Button colours are set in several ways... what is the workflow that you are using?

  • Strange menu lag in PS Elements 12

    I'm running Photoshop Elements 12 on a 64bit installation of Windows 8.1 and generally it runs really well. However I've noticed a strange menu lag issue whereby when I move the cursor over over menu bar menus it lags noticable and seems to 'stick'  and jump between menu items.
    I've got a quad core i5 and 12gb of memory so the computer is well up to the job of running PSE and if I open Task Manager whilst observing this menu lag it shows no spikes of processing power or any obvious issues.
    I wondered whether anyone knew what was going on or any solutions; it's not a major problem but is rather irritating.

    As far as I know Photoshop CC does not have an Adobe watermark associated with tryout as does Premiere Elements.
    And, Photoshop CC is now marketed on a subscription basis.
    Right now the only way I can get a full background replacement is to go into the main menu psd and replace its background
    layer in the Layer Set with a 1920 x 1080 image.
    I have found that will present full in the Movie Menu customization area but if I replace it with another image in Movie Customization those black "trims" are back.
    This is what the Secret Agent (HD) looks like with its background layer replaced in the .psd using Photoshop CS5.1 and then the edited theme
    opened in the Movie Menu customization area of the opened project
    Just do not replace the Menu Background Video or Still that you see in the screenshot and you are OK.
    I did a Snipping Tool copy of the background you posted to use for the demo.
    We can talk about this some more in the morning.

  • HT1430 iPhone 4S Power Button Issue

    I have an iPhone4S that has fallen to the broken power button issue - is there a way to restart it without the power button? My phone is acting strange and I know if I restart it then it will be ok. I am already using the Accessibility feature to lock the screen, but cannot figure out how to restart it short of letting the battery run out.

    I have the same issue.... just hold down the lock screen button on your accessibility menu until it shows you the power down option.  Then plug the charger in & it will automatically turn back on.

  • Won't open homepage on open, won't open web pages from the menu 'open new window', Can't open menu button

    Ok, since update to version 31.0, I have been having some problems.
    I have tried doing everything stated in the support page about resetting, reinstalling, safe mode, restarting pc etc.
    First problem, when I open Firefox no web page loads. It just says New Tab and a blank white page. If I press the home button I am taken to my homepage which is google.
    Second problem, when I right click on a link and the menu pops up, if I click open in new window, a new window opens but it just says New Tab with a blank page and no URL information, just blank.
    Third problem, the Open Menu button just doesn't work at all. You can click all you like, that thing is not opening.
    I am really stuck as to what to do. I have only been using Firefox for about a month and t was good until these problems. If I can't resolve it, I will have to use another browser as it is really annoying.
    I am using Windows 8.1 by the way and have scanned my computer thouroughly for both virus's and malware.

    Hi zenithtwc, to test whether this is a settings issue, could you do a three-minute experiment?
    '''Create a new Firefox profile'''
    A new profile will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions, or other customizations. It also should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
    Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
    firefox.exe -P
    ''Don't delete anything here.'' Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
    Click the Create Profile button, assign a name like Test731, and skip the option to change the folder location. Then start Firefox in the new profile you created.
    Can it reach the internet?
    When returning to the Profile Manager, you might be tempted to use the Delete Profile button. But... it's a bit too easy to accidentally delete your "real" profile, so I recommend resisting the temptation. If you do want to clean up later, I suggest making a backup of all your profiles first in case something were to go wrong.

  • General Error or Crash using menu button on chapter playlists

    This is my first complex project in 2.0 - I needed to have approx 120 clips playable individually from a series of still menus. Given the 99 timeline limit, I created a number of timelines and placed batches of clips on them. I'm then using individual chapter playlists to reference each clip. The chapter playlist is linked from a menu button.
    When using the menu remote button when a chapter playlist is playing, I either get an 'abnormal condition' error, or occasionally, Encore crashes with no message at all. Tried this with no menus, timelines and playlists open but same errors.
    More detail:
    PAL 16:9 project
    28 timelines
    65 chapter playlists
    15 still menus
    approx 120 mpv clips and associated wavs (mpv encoded with cinemacraft encoder sp)
    Settings for one of the clips giving problems:
    Timeline - end action not set, menu remote - return to last menu, all ops permitted, no chapter end actions
    Chapter playlist - end action - return to last menu, override not set, menu remote - return to last menu, all ops permitted.
    I think I can stop the errors and crashes if I disable the menu remote button - but I don't really want to do this.
    Any ideas what's going on? Is it a bug(S)?
    Thanks,
    Paul.

    Paul.
    The trouble I had was the "Abnormal Condition" error when hitting the menu remote button in preview.
    There was no problem with Prev/Next buttons though.
    I tried burning a disc too, just to check if it would burn true & just played up in preview - but no dice. What happened was the player froze up solid after pressing the menu remote.
    I did create another project where the chapter playlists numbered around 28 from a single timeline, and this actually worked as it should do, so I suspect an issue in Encore's internal stacks where this is all addressed.
    I had to use a different application in the end.
    I believe the reason yours is still failing is simply because despite having 5 timelines, you are still well over the number of chapter playlists that seem to be available.
    It's a nasty bug - but apparently a fix is in the works. Hopefully we will see this as a maintenance release - we got these with both earlier versions (1.01 from 1.0, and 1.5.1 from 1.5) so I am hoping it will happen.
    There are a couple of issues I have noticed - although this is so far the only one I cannot work around in my projects.
    One thing has just occurred to me that might help you here.
    Instead iof using a chapter playlist to reference each clip, save these for multiple clips that need to be accessed, and from your chapter menu, just point directly to the clip in question.
    Set an end action for each clip to revert back to the menu that called it, and create just a single chapter playlist for a "Play All" situation.
    This will greatly reduce the number of chapter playlists you are running - and should do the job for you.

  • Command is not showing in to the list on pressing menu button on the device

    Hi Everyone,
    I have developed a midlet in which I have designed buttons or links using Custom Items. Command associated with the custom item is not showing in to the list on pressing menu button on the device 8300 Curve.
    For example - My login screen have SUBMIT and RESET custom items. I have designed them to be appear like links [no matter how I design them]. I have also added a command and listener to it like as below:
    CMD_SUBMIT = new Command(text, Command.ITEM, 1);
    setDefaultCommand(CMD_SUBMIT);
    setItemCommandListener(this);
    On running the midlet, my login screen appears. But when I travarse to the SUBMIT item, and press the menu button, my command doesnt appear in the list of commands. It shows only the Close command. I am not getting why this is happening.
    Please do me a favour and help me to sort out this. On other phones like 8520 curve the command is appearing in to the list when I press the menu button.
    Regards

    Is there any way to sort out this issue? I am not getting the cause
    behind this, and I am observing this only on 8300 Curve. On most of
    there phones [though not tested on every one] it is working as expected.
    Please guide me to proceed further. I am desperately waiting for the
    response. Regards.

  • How can you enable back the Android native Menu button in AIR 2.7?

    I've noticed in AIR 2.7 for Android, that now the bottom icons in Android 3.0 Honeycomb are hidden (replaced by small dots) in AIR 2.7, whereas in AIR 2.6 they were always visible. That's cool. Since the bottom bar can never be hidden in Android 3, at least now those icons are less visible (unless you intentionally touch the bottom bar, then the icons show up for a few seconds).
    BUT I also noticed in AIR 2.7 compiled apps, the native "Menu" icon is not visible anymore, even after touching the bottom bar. In AIR 2.6 you could see and press that button (which can be captured from AIR so you can show a custom settings menu or whatever).
    So, quoting the subject --> How can you enable back the Android native Menu button in AIR 2.7?

    There is a work around and a reason for the menu issue.  Honeycomb doesn't natively support a menu softkey, it is only to support old apps comiled in phone API levels.  If you compile a Honeycomb app in 2.7 or 3.0, it is expected you manage the settings within the larger tablet UI framework.  See below link for more info and work around.

  • DON'T HAVE A HELP TAB IN MY MENU BUTTON. CANT EVEN COPY A URL IN MY ADDRESS BAR OR REFRESH IT ?

    how on earth can you help people when all you do is direct them to another page to click on something that doesn't help. this new version is awful . i cannot even put a url address in my address bar, nor can i refresh the address bar as it won't highlight at all. i keep going to all sorts of help pages and they are no help at all. i have used firefox for years and never had so much trouble with anything. the worse thing is your support and not being able to talk to any about anything. as it is i have to go all over just to find maybe an answer to this.i am using a background theme that i used before the new updated version and had no problems with it. if your themes are not compatible then why have them ??? the address bar problem is not present if i get rid of the theme and use the plain boring theme that you have . all i want to know is why this issue is happening with the theme i am using. and if possible it would be nice to get an answer in my email so i don't have to click on a dozen help pages trying to find it . thank you ..

    '''What is your support question?''' This? <br />CANT EVEN COPY A URL IN MY ADDRESS BAR OR REFRESH IT ?
    A number of other users have mentioned a similar problem. <br />
    Chances are that you have an add-on installed that isn't completely compatible with Firefox 29. '''You''' need to figure out the culprit and disable it until an update for that add-on is available.
    If so, '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    *In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    *In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''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 [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

    If the new phone has already been setup, make sure the phone and iTunes are both set to the same account.
    You might also have to authorize this computer for the new device under the store menu.

    he menu button of the ipod touch (4th generation) is not working and the service center of ipod is asking us to pay for the fixation of the said item even though it's still on warranty. this is the case number 215866894. And the service center said that they don't cover that center part of the ipod so they're asking us money before they can fix it. We bought the ipod last december 8, 2010 and we brought it to the service center last april, 2011 here in the philippines. And until now they're not fixing it because they're asking us to pay half the price of the item which is 8,040 pesos..

    As advised, you need to call Apple about this.
