Why + fix? song progress bar+buttons disappear!  +can i disengage 'genius'?

lately the bar that lets me move back or up within a track (and the buttons immediately below for repeat, shuffle, and genius) will go absent for days or hours at a time, then reappear normally, for no apparent reason.
also - when it is present, i find it hard to use without the touch thinking i'm pressing the genius button instead - is there a way to disengage the latter totally since i don't use it?
thanks much!

  • How can I play a movie in iTunes mini player?  (Progress bar button broken?)

    It took forever to figure out how to get iTunes to even OPEN a new window for movie playback, but once I finally found instructions (click the button with movie art to the left of the progress bar to open in new window) they only partially worked.  A new window opens, but movie playback continues in the main window.  The new window shows a freeze frame of the scene displayed at the moment I clicked the progress bar button.  The new window looks just like the mini player, and its control buttons work, but they effect the main window's movie playback not the new window/mini player where I want to watch the movie.
    Is it my progress bar that's broken?  I'm all updated with iTunes version 11.1.5.  Does this version not play well with my OS X 10.6.8?
    Ultimately I just want to be able to play a movie in the mini player while using other applications; surely that's possible.
    [Also, on the "Operating System" dropdown menu below, I just selected OS X 10.6.8 and then the dropdown showed "No operating system selected" and the selection arrows no longer work.  Any ideas what happened?  My MacBook Old feels so janky right now.]

    You need to convert the AVI file to MP4.  Here is just one of the many converters available (via Google) http://www.divx.com/en/software/divx-plus/oca/mp4-converter?gclid=CJnqnpaF37gCFc fJtAod8RUAeg

  • Progress Bar has disappeared

    Hello all, just wondering if anyone else has managed to fix this problem:
    When restoring files onto my Nokia 6600 fold I've managed to delete/move the progress bar graphics file. Now when the phone is thinking I get shown a question mark instead.
    Any help most welcome.
    Many thanks

    I have the same problem with 6300i. After firmware updrade from v3.43 to v 5.60 everything works, but when I restore backup (sms, contacts, settings, gallery...), the progress bar dissappears and the image with question mark is shown instead.
     Any idea? Where is stored the image of progress bar? Thanks.

  • Tool bar buttons disappeared in version for iPad

    I have Pages and Numbers on my iPad 2.  Two of the toolbar buttons disappeared after an update.
    Specifically the Info button and the Object button.  Anybody have any idea how to get them back?

    It all still works, you just need to explore. There is a ruler in Pages. It is used for margins, tab settings, etc. There is a document setup for setting overall margins in a document.
    I suggest you take a few moments to read the Getting Started Document that comes with Pages and Numbers as well as spending some time with the Help Files that can be found in the Tools Menu (wrench). You'd be surprised how much is still there and working.

  • Why does my menu bar keep disappearing from the top of my browser?

    Every day I have to right click to add the menu bar to the top of the page (File...Edit...View...Bookmarks,etc.)
    this is very annoying.

    Does it disappear while you are using the browser, or when
    you start Firefox?
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''

    '''''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 [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.

  • Why do my Menu Bar flyouts disappear

    Click on any menu pull down, then hover over a fly-out. The previous pulldown disappears. Also happens when you hover over an item with a pop-up description. Happens on multiple computers I have which run the same OS (win7 x64 ult.).

    Hello GCCDaemon, try to [http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems#w_turn-off-hardware-acceleration Turn off hardware acceleration] and check it again.
    thank you

  • Why does the clear history button disappear sometimes even when I have browser history showing?

    as per question.

    Is this for the Android build, Firefox 10? If so, my advice would actually be to try the latest Aurora build -- it uses a different user interface altogether and is the new product we're focusing on entirely, which will shortly replace the version you're running.
    Try that one and see if the problem still exists there. More info here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android#Download_Aurora

  • Music sound gets low while earphones are plugged in.  To fix it I have to slide the music progress bar.

    When listening to music with any pair of headphones or earphones plugged in, all of a sudden the volume will get really low for no reason.  Example: say the volume is at 15.  All of a sudden the volume will drop to like a 4, but the volume slider is still positioned at 15.  To fix it, I have to open the music app or control panel, and slide the song progress bar around and then the volume returns to normal.
    This is not an issue with the headphones.  I tried twisting and jiggling the jack and there were no changes.  Not even static.  The issue happens with the aux cable in my car as well.  It's also not an issue with the songs.  These are the same songs I was playing yesterday and they are all perfectly fine.
    Right now this is happening on my iPhone 5s with the most recent iOS8 update.  I've also had the update for awhile and this has only started less than a day ago.

    It sounds like dirt in the headphone jack. I would use a vacuum cleaner to "suck" out any dirt that might be in there. You might also want to look carefully and see if anything in lodged in there.

  • My iMac will not boot up.  I  have a 3 year old iMac running   Lion.  When I push the power button I get the Apple logo, then the circular thing made up of small lines revolving iin a clockwise direction, then a progress bar which never fills in.

    The progress bar then disappears and the system never boots up.  How can I get this machine to boot without a start-up disc?
    Are there any keyboard shortcuts available?

    I think you'll need those grey original install disks as it sounds like your harddrive is corrupted.

  • Progress Bar visibility issue

    I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to components, but I'm
    hoping there's an easy answer that I'm simply missing.
    I have 4 nested files, the first and third of which are files
    that contain sections of loadable content (menu pages,
    essentially). I've followed some simple tutorials about how to make
    the progress bars disappear once a file completely loads and all
    seemed to be working fine when I previewed the third file (a
    sub-menu) in the chain, but when I previewed the first file (the
    main menu), the progress bars that were working as they should the
    third file are still visible once its respective files load.
    The error only seems to take place in the first file and only
    in relaton to the progress bars in the third file, although the
    parameters and actionscript for all the progress bars follow the
    same formula. Is there a reason why a progress bar that disappears
    in one file remains visible in a file further up the chain and if
    so, is there any way to correct this?

    Do While Me.txtProgress.Width <> FullLength
        Me.txtProgress.Width = Me.txtProgress.Width + 25
        PercentComplete = (Me.txtProgress.Width / FullLength) * 100
        Me.txtStatus.Caption = PercentComplete & " % Complete"
        Call Pause(Timing)
    Loop
    If Me.txtProgress.Width = FullLength Then
        Me.CmdClose.Enabled = True
    End If
        retval = SysCmd(acSysCmdSetStatus, "Connecting to previous Database")
    For Each tdf In dbs.TableDefs
        If tdf.Connect <> "" Then
        tdf.Connect = ";DATABASE=" & strDatabaseName & (";PWD=zujan")
        tdf.RefreshLink
    End If
        Next tdf
    Screen.MousePointer = 0
    Hi Anuj,
    What I see in your code is that you first have your progress bar run from 0 to 100%, and after that step through the TableDefs to connect.
    I assume you want to increase the progress bar during the connecting process. So you have to merge the two loops. First you count the total number of TableDefs (your 100%), and then increment Me.txtProgress.Width for each tdf in equal steps.
    Instead of building the progress bar on "each" form, you could also make a dedicated progress bar form. At the start of a loop you open the form, and assign the form to an variable of type form (e.g. progr_form):  Set progr_form = Forms("Progress_form").
    This form has the control txtProgress to display the progress bar, a (hidden) control with the maximum number of steps, and a (hidden) control with the current number of executed steps. After the update of this latter control (e.g. progr_form!CurrentCount
    = x), the width of the progress bars is recalculated. After finishing the loop, the form is closed.
    The advantage of a dedicated progress bar form is that you can use the same form for quite different progress displays, under quite different circumstances.
