Watching itouch on a TV screen - follow-up question

Have now got the right cable (and thanks very much for the responses) to watch my itouch on a television
When I watch a film on a TV, the picture on the itouch screen doesn't move, as it would if I was watching via the itouch, or go blank after a minute or two, as it does when I listen to music
Is this normal, and could it damage the screen, if it stays with one unmoving image for too long?
Thanks again for your help

thats whats its supposed to do
you can't watch video on the ipod touch and the connected tv at the same time
and why don't you just press the sleep/wake button if you don't want to risk screen damage

  • ITouch is locked on screen were it wants me to connect to iTunes.  I cannot turn iTouch off or default back to main page.  Any suggestions?

    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the reset doesn't help, try a Restore.  From iTunes, select the iPad and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finished, you will be asked if you wish the contents of iTunes to be copied to the iPad.

  • Why can I no longer watch music videos in full screen mode via a playlist in the music app since upgrading to ios7?

    Since upgrading to ios7 my iPhone 4S no longer allows me to watch music videos in full screen mode when I select the clips via a playlist from the music app.
    It's now more necessary than before to use the music app rather than the video app to select music videos to play.  That's because the video app doesn't list music videos by artist any more. And also because the fast forward and rewind buttons on headphones remote no longer work on videos.
    How do I watch full screen videos when rotating my iphone now shows my music library rather than showing the video itself?

    I do not think it is a problem to play videos in the full screen mode using the video app.  It should work just fine, it does work ok for me  on iphone 5.  The original question was to play music videos in the music app.  Music videos and videos are two different things - I am not sure why but they are.
    The problem here is that the music app supports lists and the video app does not.  I just looked at the ios7 video app and while my few test videos are shown in it, the lists they were in (in iTunes) are nowhere to be found.  There is no lists in the video app - period - which is as it was before. 
    The video app plays videos and music videos in the full screen mode no problem but if you have a few hundreds or more of such videos you will have hard time finding the one you want to play.  There is simply no way to categorize or group videos.  The old good folders/directories are, I guess, too simple for Apple.  It is just too bad that for years on end the world's leader in S/W development did not offer anything to categorize videos.
    You have lists, albums, etc., for music, you have albums for pictures but you have absolutely nothing for videos.  And this is and has been the Apple's state-of-the art solution for this problem - simply insist that the problem does not exist.  Actually it is getting worse.  Not only there is nothing to categorize or group videos but now the only way it could be done (by marking videos as music videos and using the music app) results in a mini playback area. 
    Soon this OS will be able to cook dinner for your but grouping videos... no way.
    What is happening here???  

  • I would like to connect my Apple TV 3rd gen to a projector and not an HD TV (so I can watch movies on the big screen). Are there any decent price compatible projectors? Good quality but not professional! Many thanks

    Thank you for the answer, I suppose the main thrust of my enquiry is to find out if 65 MBits is my ATV theoretical limit of reception.  If that is the case then I am happy as a Pig in Mud
    I may have allowed myself to become a victim by listening to Fanbois posting elsewhere who always seem to go one better than everyone else. Now I have learnt two things Today; 65Mbit/s = Good enough and only read the apple forums.
    Many Thanks

  • Stuck on grey screen following updates

    I am trying to fix my wife's mac book that is stuck on the gray screen following numerous updates. I am not exactly sure which OS she has but it is at least 10.4.1. I cannot boot in safe mode. I used the disk utility from the install disk and repaired the disk (it didn't find any problems) and repaired permissions which it seemed to do a bunch of things, then tried rebooting in safe mode and am back to the gray screen.
    I have read on the forums about possible solutions using archives(?) but we were in the middle of backing up the computer when my wife accidentally restarted and so her files are not backed up. She only has about 7 GB of the 60 GB hard drive free (although she does have an external hard drive with plenty of free space available). We don't have another mac to try some of the other solutions suggested. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Sam

    Hi lizzip, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    On the 10.4.6 on the DVD & 10.4.11 on the Mac, it is normal, and if you do end up Archive & Installing, you can o directly to 10.4.11 with this...
    The combo update for Intel-based Macs...
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateintel.html
    Of course 7GB is getting dangerously low to attempt that.
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
    Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
    If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
    If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.
    May even need to do an Archive and Install if you have room on the HD, but saves all your files and gives a new OS...

  • HT5019 When I swipe between full screen app, the other screen follows

    , can it just change the full screen app of the screen with the cursor?
    when I swipe between full screen app, the other screen follows to a full screen app window with no applications (like a grey linen screen)
    and I can't use that one properly yet I still want to use the full screen app without disturbing the other screen. (the left screen is grey)

    Upgrade to 10.9, Done.

    The Mac has never needed "Full Screen". It has done multiple screen Extended Desktop since 1987.
    Full screen is an iPhone feature, carried into this verion with the mult-touch gestures and other so-called "unifying" features.

  • How do I watch BBC iPlayer in full screen with flash player 10.1

    I was able to watch BBC iPlayer in full screen with Firefox. I can now only watch full screen with IE.
    Why can I not watch iPlayer in full screen with Firefox anymore?
    == After Flashplayer 10.1 installed

    I have tried in safe mode and as expected it makes no difference. I am still not able to view in full screen like IE it just shows a blank white screen. I was able to view full screen with the same extensions before so removing them has not made any difference.
    Thank you for your reply anyway.

  • Make the screen follow character

    Hello i am making a platform game using actionscript 3.0. My character can move, fire bullets and jump around on the platforms, but how do i make the screen follow the character? I've tried using a v-cam but it does not work properly with the shooting. How do i make the screen follow my character?
    Any help is appreciated

    You need a gameframework to do this for you, if a virtual cam doesN´t do what you expect, and you are unable to fix this issue.
    You could theoretically put all your background assets in one big movieClip and move it around in relation to your Player (if the player "moves" ten pixel to the right, the background instead moves ten pixels to the left etc.)
    but if you need any kind of hit detection between pixels that are on your background (likle enemies) and your player, converting all your points from localToGlobal and vice versa, will get you into trouble.

  • Can I make the screen follow where my script is? Clarification in comments.

    Hi everyone,
    Here is what I want to do. I have a script that find/replace in all my document. It runs for half an hour, line by line. But InDesign stays on the same page all this time, so I can't see where it is, what it changes LIVE. I want to know if there is a trick that will make the screen follow the selected text that need to be change, so I can see it.
    Thanks in advance,
    Olivier

    Hi Olivier!
    Calling the "select()" method might result in what you want.
    The following selects a text frame in my test document, and it also shows the page that the object is on, if another page is in view:
    app.activeDocument.pageItems.itemByID(207050).select()
    (Of course "207050" is a valid id for one of the objects in my open document)
    So if you have a result of "found objects", you could possibly juist call the ".select()" method for each object that you would like to set focus to.
    Sometimes "Enable redraw" needs to be checked, from the popout menu of the script palette. I'm not sure that's the case here though.
    Best regards,

  • I disconnected my MAC when going on vacation when I went to power it up I got the tone but then a grey screen followed by 3 loud beeps has anyone ever had this happen?

    I disconnected my IMac (Intel) when I was away when I reconnected it after the powering up tone I had a grey screen followed by 3 loud beeps and the beeps continued.  Has anyone had this happen to them?   I have tried to reboot in "safe mode" by holding "shift" key down after tone but that did not work.  Any other suggestions?

    Yes.  This Apple document describes how to access the RAM on the various models of iMac: iMac: How to remove or install memory
    First step would be to remove and reset firmly the RAM modules and give it another try.  If that fails, remove the new RAM modules and replace with the original Apple modules that came with the Mac. 
    The more reliable sources for Mac RAM modules are Crucial.com and otherworldcompution.com.  Both are very reliable and will guarantee your satisfaction. 
    Check to see where your son got the modules.  Also check the modules  carefully to make sure they match the specifications for your iMac exactly.

  • Itouch 4th gen white screen after replacement

    after changing cracked screen on a itouch 4th gen white screen is displayed

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. However, they may refuse to even look at tit since you worked on the iPod yourself. It could be that you broke a ribbon cable of did some other damage when replacing the screen, the screen was defective or there was other damage besides the screen, like the logic board.

  • Why won't my MacBook Pro start up? White screen and flashing question mark.

    Hi,
    I've had my MacBook Pro for almost 2 years now and I installed OS X 10.8 about 4 months ago.
    Today I turned the MacBook Pro on and a white screen with a flashing question mark appeared. I tried then getting the startup manager up: turning on the laptop and immediately holding in alt (option). But nothing appeared for about 25 seconds until a rotating Earth labelled 'Internet recovery' appeared that gave me options to join wireless connections. However, my internet wasn't in the options and when I tried typing in the information required to join my internet the laptop would just load and never find it.
    I then tried putting in my Mac OS X install DVD (10.6.7) and help in C until the apple logo appeared on the screen and the little rotating loading circle appeared. That then disappeared and a cicle with a cross through it appeared (similar to a no entry sign). Then after about 30 seconds a blue screen followed by a grey screen appeared until eventually the disc ran properly. I then went into Disk Utility but there was no option called Macintosh HD, only the discs content. It wouldn't let me first aid, erase or repair anything.
    I'm totally stumped and have 4 exams at university within the next 2 weeks. I'd really appreciate it if anyone could help me out here?
    Thanks,
    Best wishes,
    Connor

    The support article linked below is somewhat outdated. Where it refers to starting up from an installation disc, you should instead start up in Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    If you don't have a current backup of all the data on the startup volume, and you want to preserve that data, then you must try to back up before you do anything else. Ask for instructions if you need them.
    Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to reinstall OS X from Recovery, if necessary. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.

  • Follow up question about image not looking good in canvas-Shane?

    I guess this is a follow up question for Shane....
    You wrote this in response to someone a year ago which helped me out.
    Shane's Stock Answer #49 - Why is the quality different between what I see in the Viewer and what I see in the Canvas?
    Well... the viewer is just that-- a viewer. It will display anything that fcp will recognize as usable video or graphics. The canvas is a viewer too, but at the pixel dimension specified by the settings of your project and sequence.
    For example, if your graphic or footage is much higher resolution than your 720x480 DV sequence, FCP is interpolating down your file to fit the settings of the sequence. Usually this makes it look not so hot. DV is a 5:1 compression working with a 4:1:1 color depth. Your pristine picture images and graphics are being crushed.
    Same with picture files. HIgh res pics now adopt the sequence settings and will render to those specs, and most likely they are not as high quality.
    So, based on your answer, I made an HDV sequence, dropped my DVCPro50-NTSC footage and my tiffs into the sequence and now the stills look great. Is this an okay workaround or do you have another suggestion? I'm worried about this HD sequence taking too long to make a compressed QT from in the end.
    Thanks!

    Photo JPEG is a good option.  But this all depends on what your final output will be.  If you are going to make a DVD, then that is SD, so using an HD sequence setting makes no sense.  Photo JPEG is good, but not realtime in FCP.  DV50 or ProRes NTSC are good options.
    Unless you are making an HD master...in which case ProRes 422 for HD is good
