What is the intention of the buttons next to my playlist name?

When I'm playing a playlist or genre, there are buttons that look like "play" and "shuffle" next to the name of the playlist or genre. They seem to skip to the next song. Is that what they're supposed to do? It'd be nice if there were tooltips to tell me what the intention is. Still not terribly intuitive, but better than before I suppose.

You'd think they would be the same, wouldn't you? Here's what I think I've discovered, though:
- the Play button next to the playlist will start a track playing, and if clicked again sends the track back to the beginning rather than stopping the track. I'm not quite sure the purpose of that would be.
- the Shuffle button next to the playlist picks a random track from the list everytime it's clicked. It allows you to manually shuffle the playback without setting the list to always shuffle.
- the Shuffle button up in the progress window toggles Shuffle on and off for the playlist overall so that any time the list it played it shuffles. How this works if a track belongs to multiple playlists I haven't yet figured out, but it seems that unlike earlier versions of iTunes, Shuffle cannot be set for individual playlist; it seems to be all or none, though I'm not certain.
Definitely not intuitive.
Regards.

Why can't I get the Close Tab (x) button on to the Tab Title (as it is in the Help examples). Mine is almost invisible top right with the List all tabs button next to the Window controls (close minimise)

The close tab button is not with the tab title tab.

Firefox is hitting my firewall on port 80. What is trying to access the gateway/firewall?

Linux firewall. When I start firefox, I get loc2fw reject logs on port 80. Is this normal behavior? Normally this would be associated with a virus attempting to access a standard router. After a clean system install I still get these hits on my firewall. I did use mozbackup to copy some setting over from another machine.

Your firewall is dropping a SYN packet or is forbidding an HTTP request? If you refuse to make a connection at all, you might never gather enough information to identify the intent of the communication.

Spotlight takes the whole of the centre screen. Can it be moved

Hate the way spotlight opens in the centre of the screen and cannot be moved.
Am I missing a trick to this.
I find its location really annoying. Like macular degeneration cos its right in the centre of your visual axis.
Also is there a way of doing simple calculations in the top right magnifying glass icon without using ons desktop?

Spotlight window cannot be moved from the center.
You can do the calculations the same way as we are used to.
You can add calculator widget to the Notification center.
Launch Notification center from the menu bar, the right most 3bar icon in the menu bar.
Select "Today" view. Click the "Edit" button at the bottom of the pane.
A new pane with Calculator and World Clock will appear.
Click the black + on green button next to the calculator.
If you want remove the calculator from the widgets, click black "- " on red button beside "Calculator".

G4 power mac PCI, cuda / pmu button (s),  what is the button next to the cuda / pmu button for ??

In this photo from Apple on resetting the "cuda" or "pmu", there is the proper button circled for the reset. My question maybe silly, but WHAT is the button just to the right of it for ??   ..... It must be important enough to HAVE a BUTTON ?? ..... shown in this photo.
OK, here it is, just outside the red circle, to the right. It must be Important enough to HAVE a BUTTON, yet I have not seen , or heard of it being mentioned anywhere ???   .....   I have this very machine and I am expierencing some problems with it, and I find myself so tempted and wanting to push it !!, ... But not knowing what it's for has the wheels inside my head spinning (like mad). .... It and other things maybe driving me crazy (ier) !!
ANYONE KNOW WHAT IT'S FOR ????? ............. Thank You, and Have a Nice Day !!, wayne146

japamac, thanks for the fast reply,
I have done the cuda reset with some success, still not working correctly though, machine only responds to power button on the front, not to the k/b button, (it did before) even used another k/b, both known to be good. Since this problem started, cuda reset has been done a few times, with some time intervals between them, battery tested, new battery, etc., etc.
On my screen here, near the top, is a column titled, "more like this", in it is a "green checked" answer that reads; After resetting cuda / pmu, doesn't power up, 400mhz imac (<not my machine, I know) what next" answered by "Spudnuty", IN his reply's he mentions a list called "Symptoms / Cures Tables", related to pmu / cuda problems as I read it. Yet I have not found any such list by doing searches varying how I word it.
Would You know of this list ?, or if it is still available ? ..... I had no luck looking for it, ..... wayne146 ....

What happened to the back/previous history button? (next to the back/forward buttons)

Hi, just upgraded from firefox 3.6 to 4.
The main problem I have with this version which will make me go back to 3.6 if I can't solve it, is that in this version (4) there is no back history to click on next to the navigational back and forward buttons. I'm not talking about the history menu from the menu bar. I'm talking about the pathway I took to get to the page I'm on, which will be different for every tab that I have open. Sometimes if I've just gone through ebay or paypal checkouts or sent/posted questions on forums etc, I will not be able to just repeatedly press 'back' as it may resend twice, or force me to resend data to re-enter that page, even though I didn't want that page, I wanted the page that was 5 steps back prior. You know what I mean? It used to be great to use that on 3.6 to navigate around and jump about back and fore 8 or 9 pages at a time. The history button in the menu bar doesn't help me, it just tells me the last few pages I've been to overall, and not specific to that tab.
Also, how can I customise the navigation bar? I want an icon for the refresh button back like the one in 3.6 (big, prominent, and moveable). Same for the home button, it's now stuck at the far side (I used to customise all these buttons to be as together or as central as I could).

The arrow to open the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons has been removed in Firefox 4.
Use one of these methods to open the tab history list:
* Right click on the Back or Forward button
* Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens
You can look at this extension:
* Backward Forward History Dropdown: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforedrop/
To move the Stop and Reload buttons to their position to the left of the location bar you can use these steps:
* Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
* Drag the Reload and Stop buttons to their previous position to the left of the location bar.
* Set the order to "Reload - Stop" to get a combined "Reload/Stop" button.
* Set the order to "Stop - Reload" or separate them otherwise to get two distinct buttons.

Tried purchasing iTunes music. Put in my apple id and password then i was directed to a 'Terms and Conditions' page. I checked the box then clicked the 'accept' button next page read 'your Session has timed out ' try again with a Done button to click on

Tried purchasing music from the iTunes Store. When the window popped up I put in my apple id and password. Then I was directed to a 'Terms and Conditions' page. I checked the box next to the 'Yes I agree to these terms and conditions' - then clicked the 'accept' button next page read 'Your Session has timed out. Try again.' with a 'Done' button to click on. Oh the same thing happens when i try to download free iTunes. Yes I have tried & tried it again I even logged off and singed back in-- no joy
After accessing my iTunes account I was not able to change anything like my credit card number when I tried and was sent right to the 'Your session has timed out. Try again.'
The last time I purchased any anything was on September 25th 2011 and the 'terms & conditions' page was last updated on October 12, 2011
Does anyone have an idea to what is going on with my iTunes version 9.2.1 (5) and I can not upgrade to a higher version my iMac does not have the intel processor chip.Thank you for your time and help with this matter. You are greatly appreciated

I am having the same problem also! I posted on here about it, but no one has responded with ideas. I called technical support and e-mailed them, the only suggestions they gave was for the to turn off my firewall. But I didn't change anything, so it shouldn't suddenly stop working. Maybe this is just an iTunes issue? But it doesn't even recognize my account anymore, and I cannot log in now.
If you happen to get an answer, will you please let me know what works for you?
Thanks!

On Firefox 4, how can I put one "new tab" on the "tab bar" (The + sign) and one next to the "back/forward" buttons (as in FF 3.6)?

On Firefox 4, how can I put one "new tab" on the "tab bar" (The + sign) and one next to the "back/forward" buttons (as in FF 3.6)?
In my current Firefox, the "new tab" icon/item from the "customize" pop-up window menu of items is placed next to my home, back, forward buttons near the top-left of my header (Button 1 for "new tab"). Then, the tab bar automatically come with a small tab (with a + sign) to the right of your last tab opened (so you click on + and a new tab opens. Button 2 for "new tab"). I like to have this "new tab" button twice (as a + mini tab, and next to my "home icon".
When I upgraded to Firefox 4, I seemed to be only able to "customize" or use the "new tab" in one place. Either as an icon next to home button, or as a "+ minitab", but NOT both.
What can I do to put this button in Firefox 4 on BOTH places???
Your help is really appreciated. I want to upgrade, but I want my buttons on both places...
I upgraded to FF 4, but downgraded again just because this feature... that's just me of coarse :-)

I downloaded an album and the first few songs only play to 15 seconds of the song then the skip to the next one. I cant listen to them past those few seconds. What do I do to listen to the whole song?

So I downloaded the Ellie Goulding album and the first few songs only play up to 15 seconds of the song and then skip to the next one. It wont let me drag the scroller to a further point in the song because when I do it doesnt play and goes to the next one. But it isn't on the other songs. just the first 3 or 4. what do I do?I could rebuu the songs that would be a waste. I have a PC so i am having a hard time calling for support because I dont know the serial number.

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

I do not see ANY of the new features claimed for Firefox 4, and moving the home button all the way to the right is very inconvenient. So what's so great?

I have used (and liked) Firefox from the first time it was offered. I
typically upgrade to newer versions as they come out. Sometimes
the newer version doesn't differ markedly from the previous one, but, until now, they were not usually a step backward. Upon installing Firefox 4 the welcome page indicated several new features. Specifically an app bar, and a bookmark button next to the home button. However neither of these features are on my copy of the program. Frankly, the only change that I see is the new position of the home button; and I don't like it. Moving the home button all the way across the page from the other commonly used buttons makes absolutely no sense to me, especially if the touted bookmark button doesn't exist. The new speed, if it continues, is nice, but other than that I see no real improvement over Firefox 3. So what's so great?

The new interface is only default on Windows Vista and Windows 7. To get it on Windows XP you need to hide the menu bar. To do that in the View menu select Toolbars, then click on the "Menu Bar" entry.
If you need access to the menus you can press either Alt or F10 to temporarily display them.
You can rearrange the buttons and place them where you want, for details on how to do that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/how-do-i-customize-toolbars

What is the button on the right in the layers palette?

Can someone tell me what the small round black dot/ button is in the layers palette? (next to Hayes Mansion Hotel) Nothing is selected in my file and I cannot figure out what this is indicating!! Thank you! Jennie

To further what Steve said; just select the object and then look in the Appearance panel to see what Effect has been applied to the object.

What is going on "under the hood" of the 'Wait Until Next ms Multiple' vi?

Hi,
This question is really for the developers of LabVIEW, and I don't know if they are willing to divulge what might be considered "trade secrets". Anyway, I just thought there's no harm in asking.
I use the Wait Until Next ms Multiple vi and it works great. For example, if I set my program to output a character on the serial port every 20 millisecond (mS), and check the output on an oscilloscope, I see the output at 20 +/-2 mS (that is, 18 to 22 mS). That's quite good and is all that can be expected on a PC running a non-real-time OS such as Windows.
My question is this: Since the default Windows timer has a tick rate of 15.625 (1/64th of a second) (some PC's may default to 10 mS), how does LabVIEW attain roughly 1 mS accuracy? If the same thing is coded in any .NET framework program, such as C# or Visual Basic using any of the available timers (the System.Windows.Forms timer or the .System timer), the timer interval may be set in 1 mS increments, but if you time it you will see it actually has a granularity of 15.625 mS. So instead of getting 20 mS I get 2 ticks, or about 31 mS. So I can get an output every 15.6, 31, 47, 62.5, etc. but nothing in between.
The System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch timer can be use to time code with very high resolution, or to create a high-CPU usage delay loop, but I haven't been able to find an easy way of generating an interrupt (timer tick) at say 1 mS. There are Win API functions that can set the timer to 1 mS on XP and 0.5 mS on Windows 7 and 8 Microsoft, but I have not tried them. (They come with the caveat that another program or process can come along and reset your timer!) There is the "multi-media" timer (now the HPET or High Performance Event Timer"), but it is meant for sound and video at the driver/kernel level, and not for the UI level, as LabVIEW or C# are.
So how does the 'Wait Until Next ms Multiple work? It obviously is timer interrupt-driven because it yields to other processes (which is a primary reason for putting it in your overall While loop). And is it guaranteed on all recent OS versions (mine was timed on an dual core XP OS)?
Thanks for any insight.
Your typical curious engineer,
Ed

Ian,
Thanks for your reply. Yes, I'm sure LabVIEW uses the (default) Windows timer. And yes, 1 mS is not guaranteed due to the preemptive nature of Windows (and even "RTOSs" to varying degrees), which is why I see about plus or minus 2 mS.
Apparently the Windows timer can be set by API calls. See: http://www.lucashale.com/timer-resolution/. Here's a screen shot of his TimerResolution.exe on a Windows 7 PC:
Here it is on my Windows XP PC after I set it to "Maximum" (initially it was 15.625 mS):
Notice that it sets the Maximum to less than 1 mS, which is supposed to be the max, so there are some bugs. Plus the Default button does not reset it in XP, but does work on Windows 7 or 8. (I know this is not the place to "debug" non-LabVIEW applications!)
I'll bet LabVIEW sets it, too. The only caveat, as I said, is it looks like another application can change it, since the hardware timer is a "global" timer. I have not seen this issue in my LabVIEW applications, have you?
I guess I need to do some more digging to see the code to set the timer, but it looks like the developers of LabVIEW have it figured it out.
(FYI, I did notice that running my LabVIEW app (which gives about 2 mS resolution) or a C# app, which gives 15.625 mS resolution, does not affect what TimerResolution.exe reports, so I'm not sure if it's really working correctly. If I figure it out I'll post the results.)
