Can you lock touch screen when watching videos!??

Can you lock the screen so it doesn't become a touch screen when watching videos!??
Just got new ipod (7th gen) and this driving me crazy that I think I'm going to continue to use my older one unless there is a solution out there. I watch tv shows while commuting and while walking here or there I have to 'palm' the ipod or walk with it at my side, and the problem is that since the touch screen is sooooo sensitive I keep fwding/rewinding/swiping the screen to something else, and then to get back to that part in the video is a pain because unlike the older ipod you can just fwd a few secs, this one jumps minutes because it's so sensitive. PLEASE tell me there's a way to lock it from accidently touching it!

No - there is no such switch on the iPad - the switches control volume, muting, screen rotation, and the home button itself.
You could place it behind a screen of some sort so touching the outer screen won't affect the iPad screen - I've seen ads for 'presentation kiosk' type devices for the iPad that allow this, although I'm not sure how practical they would be in the backseat of a car.

  • Can you use midi sounds when recording videos on Photobooth?

    Can you use midi sounds when recording videos on Photobooth?
    Basically, i like to record videos of me singing and playing guitar or keyboard, but to get a good sound for the keyboard I'd like to be able to record the audio using MIDI sounds...
    Ive got Logic, I've got M-Audio Fast Track Pro, into which i have my mic, guitar, and keyboard midi plaugged into. I can use it to record the mic and guitar on photobooth as they are audio inputs, however i can't use the midi sounds on the keyboard :/ I have tried having logic open with the desired MIDI sound selected whilst recording but it doesnt work...
    Is there ANY way this is possible?
    HELP PLEASE!
    Thanks!

    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Cache. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If that doesn't work, reset the iPad. 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 - let go of the buttons.
    Last thing to try is quit the app and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit Safari by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on the Safari icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • TS2755 How can I lock my screen when I'm on the phone? My cheek keeps hitting the mute button.

    How do I lock my screen when I'm on the phone so my cheek dosen't hit the mute button accedently?

    The screen should be automatically locked by the proximity sensor when you put the phone in speaking position. Make sure that there is nothing blocking this sensor (like a case for example).

  • How can you lock the screen on iPhone in iOS 7 while talking on the phone?

    I am struggling to figure out how to lock the screen of my iPhone 5 during a phone call. In iOS 6, I was able to push the top "on/off" button to lock the screen. In iOS 7, I am able to do this ONLY while using the speakerphone. If I push this button while talking on the phone regularly or using a headphone, it ends the call rather than locking the screen.
    I have found that I am muting calls and disconnecting calls accidentially with my "face" while holding the phone b/c the screen is so sensitive. Does anyone know a way around this?

    I dont know of a way round this, but im having the same issue of puttig people on hold when putting the phone up to my ear.
    This was an issue with the iphone 4 years ago and apple had to do an update to cure it

  • IOS6... How do I see the full screen when watching youtube videos and second the map quality is very poor, foggy most of the time and images overlap to each other... Can I restore to IOS6 if these problems can not be solved?

    I just upgraded to IOS6 and I have some difficulties that I never had on IOS5:
    How can a see the full screen when watching youtube. Address bar is always in view.
    Maps are foggy and some images overlap to eachother.
    If these problems can not be solved, how do I downgrade back to IOS5?
    Regards,
    Luis

    No, there is no legitimate way to downgrade iOS to an earlier version.
    Be patient, Apple will eventually get around to fixing the "bugs" in iOS 6.

  • I have a Macbook pro Retina display, I have a small nick in my screen that is annoying especially when watching videos. What is my best option for fixing it?/does apple care apply?

    Did you cause the nick? Or did it just appear one day? There are reports of the retina screen having exploding pixels which leaves a hole in the screen that can be felt when you rub your finger across it. If that is what happened then it should be covered under the warranty. If you caused the nick then it is not covered and the fix will be very expensive, somewhere in the $1000 range.

  • HT4528 how do i stop my iphone 4 from doing random commands while talking on calls via the touch screen? Can i lock the screen while talking?

    how do i stop my iphone 4 from doing random commands while talking on calls via the touch screen? Can i lock the screen while talking?

    The iPhone has a proximity sensor located on the top of the phone near the earphone speaker that is supposed to automatically turn off the screen when it is close to your face while on a call, to prevent that very thing from happening.  If your phone isn't doing that, try cleaning your screen.  Also, if you put a screen protector on your phone made for a different model it may lack the cut-out that is supposed to keep it from blocking the sensor.  Try removing your screen protector to see if that helps.  If it does, get another screen protector.

  • I have a iPhone 4S and when watching videos on the internet sound cuts out as the video is playing. The rest of the video plays with no sound. Sometimes when I pause It and play again sound comes back but not all the time. can anyone help?

    The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
    Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
    However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
    Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
    I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

  • Can you lower FaceTime volume while watching other videos in Safari/ listening to music in iTunes?

    Can you lower FaceTime volume while watching other videos in Safari/ listening to music in iTunes? Many times when I am FaceTiming I also watch videos in Safari and listen to music in iTunes. Can the volume be adjusted for FaceTime in Mavericks because the audio now overtakes every other application on my computer?

    Yes, it is standard. But be sure you're looking in your main library, not the library in your home folder. But I recently discovered something far more convenient in the Developer folder. You can install the developer tools on your install/restore disk.
    Check out *Developer > Extras > PreferencePanes > Processor.prefPane*
    That'll actually let you modify the CPU activation settings from your menu bar or *System Preferences*.
    Oh, sweet nerdery!

  • How can you keep the highest iphone 4s Video quality the same when exporting it from iMovie.

    How can you keep the highest iphone 4s Video quality the same when exporting it from iMovie.

    InDesign's PDF export engine does not transcode your videos, they are embedded exactly as they were in the original file. The Flash Player runtime which displays video inside PDF files may not show a perfect match to Quicktime etc. because most video playback tools aren't designed for a color-calibrated workflow, but they should be close.
    The playback quality (blocking and aliasing) will be affected if the clip is not playing at 100% (screen pixels != video pixels) and in PDFs with the standard video player widget, that will only ever happen when you use 'floating window' mode. PDF pages have physical dimensions, so viewing them at "100%" does not make them match screen pixels.
    If you don't mind the video clip being smaller than the media annotation in which it's playing, then use my free upgrade to the Acrobat playback widget - VideoPlayerX - which maintains 1:1 pixel scale until the page is zoomed out too far for it to fit. You can install the widget into InDesign so it's used by default when exporting.
