Can't zoom on video mode on the iPad mini running IOS 7

Hi! i was playing with my iPad mini's camera app because of boredom, and i notice that if you switch to video on the default camera app there is no zoom... the virtual zoom? doesn't work, but on beta phase it was working fine... but now i'm running the official now it won't work :3 can anyone help me?
iPad mini 32GB Black
Wifi only
IOS 7.0.2
Not Jailbroken

I have never been able to zoom in or out in video camera mode on any iOS device I've ever owned.
I would like to know, however, what Apple did with the zoom feature while taking still photos.  Doesn't seem to exist on my new Mini, and I did try pinching.  Seems lately Apple is in the habit of adding new features AT THE EXPENSE of old features that just made sense.  That is why I no longer do upgrades when they become available, on the devices, apps, or in iTunes.  I'm a Luddite, and I'm sick of "progress with a price"!

  • Can you move a video taken on the iPad from the camera roll to 'Videos' without syncing through iPhoto?

    Pretty simple question that I can not figure out the answer to. Can you move a video taken on the iPad from the camera roll to 'videos' on the go?

    I can do it on my iPhone and, according to the iPad manual (p. 58), you can do it on an iPad.
    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • How can I delete hidden video files from the iPad?

    How can I delete hidden video files from the iPad?  These files were created on my MBA and when I changed the media type to iTunesU and then copied it to my iPad via iTunes, they did not appear.  I can see them using 3rd party software, but they don't have delete functionality.
    Thanks
    York

    Interesting note:  I can see the files when I use the search function, but when I tap either file, I return to my home screen.  The video does not open.  I can transfer the file to my MBA, and it plays fine, but I cannot figure out a way to delete them.

  • I can see home sharing on my iPhone and iPad both running iOS 5 but when it loads the library is empty. Help!!

    The iPad is new today so pleeeease help! I have the latest version of iTunes and both iPhone and iPad are up to date. I have never had a problem with home sharing before 10.5 iTunes. Both mobile devices can eventually see the shared library but load it as though it is empty. This applies to movies as well. I have turned off home sharing on the mac and restarted it. I have also made sure that the username and password on both mobile devices are correct. Help!

    This has solved loads of people who have this issue and have used an alternate DNS setting.  Below are instructions for both iPhone OTA and on you Mac
    If you are getting the error message "Unable to check for update" when you try an OTA (over the air update)
    Change DNS Servers
    Settings -> Wi-Fi
    Click the blue arrow on your connected network
    Delete everything in DNS and replace it with 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220
    Try again
    If this works, you will probably want to remove the WiFi network using "Forget This Network" and then reconnect to it to get your original DNS servers back. Alternatively, make a note of the original DNS servers before deleting them and replace it after you are done.
    If you are getting the error message "Unable to check for update" when you try through iTunes
    On your Mac
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Network.
    Select the network connection service you want to use (such as Wi-Fi or Ethernet, unless you named it something else) from the list, and then click Advanced.
    Click DNS, and then click Add at the bottom of the DNS Servers list. Enter the IPv4 address for the DNS server.
    You can use OpenDNS
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    or
    You can Google Public DNS if you want
    8.8.8.8
    8.8.4.4
    I have actually repointed my routers DNS so all my devices now point to OpenDNS servers

  • Can I use iPod Touch apps on the iPad Mini?

  • Why can't I delete added mailboxes on my iPad mini since iOS 8 update? Every time I try to delete an old mailbox that I added it boots me right out of mIl completely. I want to clean up and get rid of old unused mailboxes?

    why can't I delete added mailboxes on my iPad mini after the ios8 update?

    The mail app is crashing on you for some reason. Close the mail app and reset your iPad.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that doesn't help, you can also try resetting all settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.

  • Can I use an apple remote with the ipad mini?

    I would really like to use a remote. Is it possible?

    Although I know it's not possible, there is a situation in which a remote for the iPad would be useful: when connecting an iPad to a projector to show Keynote presenations--which I do regularly.  It would be great if I could connect the iPad to the projector and then move to a podium or wander about the room and be able to advance slides remotely. 

  • Can't Edit or Delete SMTP servers on iPad Mini on iOS 7.0.2

    On an iPad Mini, when I sent outgoing mail in my gmail account, the messages are sent but they don't show up in my Sent Items when I log in to gmail from a browser on my desktop.
    I have gone into the outgoing mail server section on the account and I can go into each SMTP server, but I can't edit any of the fields.
    By default my username doesn't display and I can't add it.
    There is also no Delete button at the bottom of the server details,
    (Interestingly, on my iPhone 5 I can edit these fields and the outgoing mail is working fine and showing up in the correct location on the browser based version)
    Help...

    Without a little more detailed information, it hard to tell (what does "having trouble" mean? What happens when you try to add an event? How are caledars set up - are you syncronizing to an online calendar?).
    A couple of things you might try:
    A reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
    Deletre and set up the account again.

  • I can load my Numbers "My Templates" onto my ipad Air running ios 8 using iCloud, but when I try to do the same thing with my iphone 5s also running ios8, I get an error message and they do not load. What to do?

    I am referring to the "My Templates" folder where I have designed my own specific templates. It loaded fine for iPad Air but confusingly, once it is on iCloud it does not seem to be accessible by my iPhone. So I tried the same process which entails finding the com.apple.numbers file and emailing the files; selecting them on iPhone then telling them to be opened by Numbers. Numbers will ask if you want them to be added to Templates. I said yes and after a brief attempt it returns the message that it cannot load the templates, an error occurred, but there is no reference as to what that error might be nor how to fix it.

    To anyone who has viewed this post and is having similar difficulties, the answer came on a different forum: I dragged & dropped the files from Mail to iCloud Drive. Opened them on my MB Air, they were saved in Templates and are now accessible across all my devices.
    Answer came from SGIll: Numbers templateshttps://discussions.apple.com/message/27505880#27505880Numbers templates

  • How can I free up 698 MB that the ipad mini says I have in emails and yet they have been deleted and email boxes are empty?  Thanks for cooperation!

    What am I not doing?  Is there another setting I missed for permanently deleting email trash?

    Hey, I don't know what happened!  The trash was empty so I wrote myself and email and delete it in the above way.  But this time I used your method and delete all in lower right and PRESTO, the 10 KB email deletion reduced the 698 MB storage down to 289 MB!  I am still shocked, where was the extra 409 MB hiding when the email was only about  10 KB in size.  Must be something about the delete all button and some hidden data stored in the trash but it was empty.  Oh well, thanks for the help and I'm still amazed!

  • Can't zoom in or out in video mode - 4th gen ipad, ios 7.0.2

    Today I discovered that I should be able to zoom in and out while in Video Mode in the Camera app.  There is no slider at the bottom of the screen, and I've tried pinching my fingers. I'm stumped. Is there anything I need to do in settings? Any suggestions would be very much appreciated! Thanks!

    Alison, I sympathise with your situation. After 30+ years in the classroom myself I know well the pain that follows the 'upgrade' to the IT system that then won't run your tried and trusted computer program!
    Try this on your iPad - it works on mine.
    Try going to  Settings - General - Accessibility - Zoom  and switch it on (it seems to me it's 'off' by default).
    Zooming is now controlled by 'three-finger' actions! (although the original two-finger pinch still operates as well, on actual photos though not videos, I find)
    Double-tap with three fingers together and slide up the screen to zoom in.
    Double-tap and slide down to zoom out.
    Simple double-tap three fingers to return to normal size.
    This works with videos. In fact it works even 'now', as I'm typing this here in Safari! It works on the 'home screen' itself! - it works in 'Notes'. It seems to work everywhere in iOS 7.1
    So, get your video on screen - use three-finger-slide zoom to achieve required zoom level - play.
    Hope this helps with your lesson plans!

  • When video taping on my ipad mini, I sometimes get a yellow rectangular box at the top of the screen after which I can't record when I tap the record button.

    I do a lot of video taping on my ipad mini. Sometimes after I stop & try to start recording again, I get a yellow rectangular box at the top of the screen and can't record. If I keep taping the yellow box it disappears & I can video, but I've missed some taping time. I know there were some letters in the box,but I've never written down what they were.

    The letters are AE/AF lock. If memory serves me well it's auto exposure/ auto focus lock. Practice with the camera in photo mode. Hold your finger on the item you want to focus on, a rectangle will appear, keep holding your finger on the screen till the rectangle enlarges twice. AE/AF should appear, the item should be in focus and stop going in and out of focus. Tap the screen to get rid of AE/AF.
