Can I turn video off & just play audio

I just upgraded from an Ipod classic 80gb to a Ipod Touch 4g 32 GB. I listen to my ipod everyday at work. Sometimes I get tired of listening to music & will put a movie on & listen to it. On my old Ipod I had the option to turn off the video & only listen to the audio by changing the TV out to (ask). Then before a movie came on I had the option to choose whether to have video & audio or just audio. Is there a way to do this on the Ipod Touch 4g? I enjoy listening to movies but if the video will be playing it will drain my battery quickly.
Thanks in advance.

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox (you need to close and restart Firefox).

You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed

You have 14 days to return the computer w/no questions asked. Plus you have 90 days of FREE phone tech support on top of your standard 1 year warranty unless you also purchased AppleCare which gives you an additional 2 years of coverage plus FREE phone support.
Strongly suggest that you take FULL advantage of the above before it runs out. Let Apple deal w/the problems.

You need to delete here conversation and start another one using her phone number and not her Apple ID. You cannot delete iMessage, you can disable it. If the Apple server still sees her iPod with iMessage on and using her Apple ID, then it will continue to appear to your phone that she has iMessage. She needs to take a look at this support document about permanently disabling iMessage for her account. Can’t receive text messages on a non-Apple phone

Can't get video podcasts to play on my Iphone

When I download them, they display properly in ITunes in the little video window. However, when I try playing them from my Iphone, I get audio only. What gives? Thanks for any help!

This is an area where the iPhone does not work like the iPod with Video.
In my case, I create a series of playlists called "Podcasts 1 Day Ago", "Podcasts 2 Days Ago", etc. so I can sort through them in order that I added them. On the iPod, going in to Playlists-> will just play the audio for the videos in that list, but going in through Movies->Video Playlists will play audio and switch on video when it hits a video podcast. Works great.
On iPhone, this does not work. It ignores video items in the playlist, but if you manually allow the specified podcasts to sync they will show up under video. So you have to do it in multiple places, and can't just rely on a playlist like the iPod does.
Maybe version 1.1?

i've already tried the pmset -a sms 0 thing, but that is only for laptops, their seems to be no solition for Mac Pro Desktops!
this is annoying.
hope someone can help.
Dan

and in laptops it is just working for the original builtin HD.
It shouldn't be there at all.
you set it off by (copy/paste):
sudo pmset -a sms 0

Macbook locked up, can't turn it off, DVD is in

Press and hold the power button until computer turns off

Can't turn Zoom off

I just discovered (here) the solution to my iphone 4S 'extreme zoom' problem.
I want to avoid the problem anyway but I can't turn Zoom off in Settings - General - Accessibility.
Anyone know why or 'how to'?

Thanks Lawrence. Looks like this may be one of those cases where the cure could be more of a burden than using the 'three-finger tap'.

In Piano Roll, double click on note opens List editor. CAN I TURN THIS OFF?

While editing in the Piano Roll Editor, double clicking on a note opens up the List Editor.
CAN I TURN THIS OFF?

I realize that it is my way of working that causes the editor to open up. When I work fast and with the zoom out a little to far, some times when trying to move a note it fails to move and when I try to move it again the List Editor opens up. I am very set in my ways after 20 years of non linear and 30 years of midi programming. I was just surprised that this is not a preference.
I really don't want to slow down my double click settings. I like them fast to avoid this very thing, false double clicking. Maybe I'll try making them faster.
Does anyone know where the support Feedback is located? I would love to request another pref be added.

These are the steps I performed on my own system many months ago. I could not view PDF files in Firefox with both Adobe Reader and Foxit installed.
#Close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
#If you have not already done so, uninstall Adobe Reader 9.4.5 using Windows Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs, click on the item, click Remove. You may need to restart your system.
#Open Foxit in your programs list Windows Start > Programs
#*on the Foxit menu, click Tools > Preferences
#*click File Associations and be sure "Display PDF in browser" is checked then click "Make Default PDF Viewer" then click OK
#*close Foxit Reader (File > Exit)
#Start Firefox
#*Open the Applications panel (Tools > Options > Applications '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Options > Options > Applications)
#*type '''pdf''' in the search box; you should see "Foxit Reader PDF document"
#*in Action column, click the down arrow at the far right end
#*choose "Use Foxit Reader plugin for Mozilla (in Firefox)'
#**if the full name does not display, place the cursor over the item to see the full name in a tooltip box
#Test on a pdf file from the internet
#*If there is no toolbar at the top of the PDF display in the tab (just a blue strip), tap the F8 key to get the Basic toolbar, or right-click the blue strip at the top to display/not display other toolbars by clicking on them (checked=display; un-checked=do not display)

Can't turn shuffle off

I recently downloaded iTunes 8. For some reason I can't turn the shuffle feature off. I select Controls, Shuffle, Turn Shuffle Off and nothing happens. It stays selected. How do I turn this off?
BTW, iTunes 8 is NOT an improvement over vs. 7. 7 was much better. I don't know why companies like this have to goof around with things that already work and change them just for the purpose of making them different.

Can you turn shuffle off using the icons at bottom left of the iTunes window?
iTunes was updated to work with the new generation of iPods that came out a few months ago. If you don't have one of those, there is no need on your part and no insistence on Apple's part that you update the software.

Since update, all songs have been deleted and i can't turn ipod off. HELP!!

since update, all songs have been deleted and i can't turn ipod off!! I updated the itunes software last week and the next time I synced the ipod, it immediately deleted all songs. After further investigation, i realized that my songs are still in itunes. Under the music tab, it shows the capacity and the content of the ipod. It used to have 4 gb of audio on there and now it have no audio and 4 gb of 'other' files. what does this mean? i can still see the songs in the library list, but i can't even make a playlist with them. When I click on playlist, nothing happens. Also, I can't turn the ipod off since the update. Please send any advice my way.
Thanks,
regan101

yes, and the problem is unresolved. i really feel that the problem is occuring with the itunes program and not the ipod. thanks, though.

My Macbook Pro is frozen on the login page with a white screen and only my login picture. How do I fix this? I can't turn it off and I closed it and let it charge but it's still not working.

Hello Kierasully,
I would start your troubleshooting with the article below for issues of not being able to log in to your Mac. Start with booting up in to Safe Boot as well as resetting PRAM on your Mac. If that does not work, then verify the hard drive with booting to the Recover HD and go to Disk Utility to verify it.
