Disable the STOP/PLAY tap on a video

How i can disabling the STOP/PLAY tap on a video (so it can start as the cover of the Folio) and without having the user to unexpectedly stop it. Even if the video is full screen.

You can put an empty fake MSO on top of it. Just make an empty MSO that autplays once and it should block the tap.

HT204291 I cannot get video to play from my iPad. I don't use this function often but it do work several upgrades ago. The audio plays fine but no video....... Any advice or suggestions appreciated.

I do not use the function very often but AirPlay has worked fine in the past (several OS updates ago on both iPad and apple tv). The audio plays fine but no video???? Any suggestions.

interesting...... you know i tried other media and it worked fine. i was trying to play 'amazon instant video'. when you say 'blocked ... by the providor' it seems to me that Amazon would have no interest in restricting the play. is it the producer of the content that resticts the play through some form of licensing or is it apple that restricts amazon play by limiting access to technology? either way its anti-competitive.

Why doesn't the stop time option work in videos in itunes?

I downloaded some music videos into iTunes and some have intor's or crdeits that I wanted to cut out. I tried using the "Get Info" and changing the start and stop times there. It will change the start times, but will still play through to the end of the video instead of stopping at the time I had indicated. When I go back and check, the stop time box is still checked and marked where I want it ... any suggestions? I just upgraded the iTunes software, thinking maybe that was it, but still a no go.

It work now.
I just downloaded OSX 10.9.3 and iTunes 11.2 and one or both of them has fixed the problem. (Been broken for years). Have fun

Audio stops playing partway into mpeg4 video

I recently added an mpeg4 video into my itunes library. It plays just fine in itunes. However, when I try to watch it on the ipod, the audio disappears half-way through the video. The video does continue to play in its entirety, but without sound. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I have the same problems. I am using Adobe Premiere to output an uncompressed Quicktime Mov and since I cannot control the bitrate with Quicktime Pro when converting to iPod format I now use VLC to convert to a iPod compatible file. Up to now I use mpg4v with 1024KBit as Video and mpg4a with 128KBit as Audio. I output a quicktime mov file.
When I convert the video with Quicktime Pro using custom MP4 settings so I can play the file on iPod I get video glitches every 10 seconds when the picture gets like a washed effect and gets very unsharp.
It plays fine in iTunes and Quicktime but when playing on the iPod the audio just stops after approx. 15 minutes. Happened with 3 different Movie files. Everytime close to 15:20 into the video. All 3 Videos are very different in total length.
When encoding the initial Quicktime File I use Apple Photo JPEG for uncompressed video and QDesign2 Audio encoding.
Is there any step that might indicate a problem in the whole process?
Since we got a couple of iPod here, we also had the same problem on every other one we tried. All use the 1.2 Firmware and iTunes 7.02.
Any help appreciated.

Is there a way to disable the auto play video and audio ads that are showing up on the web these days?

A lot of sites have video ads that load and start playing while safari is loading the entire page - slows everythiing down. Also a couple news sites I go to have autoload/play content. Is there a way to disable these auto loads?

Install the ClickToFlash or ClickToPlugin Safari extension.

How Do I Disable The Pop-Up Blocker to Upload Video to Facebook & Others?

When I try to upload a video clip I shot of some 4th of July Fireworks to Facebook, I get the error message "In order to upload videos on your profile, Facebook needs to be able to create a pop-up window. Please disable your pop-up blocker or allow this page to create popups, then try again."
I have uploaded to FB before, but apparently I've turned on the pop-up blocker. How do I turn it off? I am new to MAC from pc, so please have mercy and help me...
Thanks

Hi IamR.Ph.
Unless you have a 3rd party blocker, Safari's built-in one can be disabled via the following method:
In the top menu click Safari (to the right of the Apple logo) then click "Block Pop-Up Windows."
If you see a check mark next to this then the blocker is enabled, if there's no check mark than the blocker is already disabled and something else is doing the blocking.

ITunes ignores the "stop time" for music videos since 10.6.7 osx update. Tried with iTunes 10.2.1, 10.2.2, 10.3. Only way to make it work is to back out to 10.6.6 (time consuming). Has nobody else noticed this?

Only a problem with music videos. Normal audio tracks work fine. Introduced with 10.6.7. 10.6.8 failed to fix it.
Set the "stop time" of a music video to 10 seconds shorter than the full length and iTunes will still play it to the end. Very annoying, especially if there's a bunch of noise at the end of a song.

More info: After I upgraded to 10.6.7, I first noticed the problem. Downgraded to 10.6.6 and it worked again. Upgraded to 10.6.8 when it was released to see if this had the issue fixed - but it didn't, iTunes failed to stop on time again (only music videos).
Just downgraded to 10.6.6 and it still doesn't work!!! Now I'm really screwed and confused. HELP!

Apple TV suddenly stopped playing any video

Yesterady my apple tv stopped playing any type of video. This includes movies I've purchased on iTunes, previews on iTunes, Hulu, Netflix. I click play on the video the spinner pops up and the video *almost* starts and then just cancels itself going back to the previous screen. I've tried:
1. Restarting ATV
2. Resetting ATV
3. Testing network connection on ATV -> all is ok
4. Restarting my router & ATV
I'm able to go on the internet with other devices so I know I have internet connection. I'm also able to sign into the Apple Network with my ATV so I believe it has internet connection as well.

So we have this ATT provider in common.
Based upon this other discussion -- https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5565870?start=0&tstart=0 -- I ran the Netflix video called 'Example Short 23.976' -- though I had to wait about 15 minutes for it to start playing, it eventually did. I have the U-Verse service of 12 MBPS, and speedtest.net confirms that is what I am indeed getting. But the results showing in Example Short 23.976 should be (and used to be) 5800 kbps; tonight it is 230 kbps, then 500, then 1000, then 2000, then freeze, buffer for a minute, then back down to 230 kbps.
I suggest you run the Netflix video called 'Example Short 23.976' both during prime time hours and at other times during the day, and report back to us with your results. I have a suspicion this is an ATT problem.

QUICKTIME REFUSES TO PLAY ANY FORMAT OF VIDEO

My QuickTime suddenly stopped playing all forms of videos that they allow.
My Mac and QuickTime are up to date.
I've tried using different converters ( VLC and online sources ) to see if the different formats help- they didn't.
QuickTime will play previously exported .mov and .mp4 projects from iMovie and previous QuickTime events but not the new files.
iTunes and iMovie don't want to read them either despite the file being in .mp4 format.
The original file was a VLC compatible file, .flv. I've converted it to all kinds- .mp4, .mpeg-4, .mov, and so forth.
I'm not sure if it's the file size that is affecting it or what it is, but I desperately need this fixed soon, please help ASAP.

How do i disable a stop button within an event

Using LabView 8.6 I'd like to disable my vi's stop button so the user can't stop the vi unless the network application is in the correct mode of operation.
I only want the user to be able to stop the vi when it is ok to do so. What I tried works to prevent the stop button from operating at the wrong time but the vi does not always stop and I have to force the vi to stop.
My event structure handles all the buttons and inputs for my vi. The event structure is within the while loop that generates commands for the network application when I click on one of the buttons or enter a value into a input field. Another while loop is reading data from the network application and displaying the data on the vi. I used a "Stop" local value to stop the display while loop.
How am I supposed to disable the stop button but have my vi stop when it is ok to do so in the correct way?

OK I'll try to handle this point by point.
Q1, what gets wired to the "SilentShutdown" & "Discard?" when using "Application Instance Close?"
A1 Wire a TRUE to Discard? That's the only thing that event case needs if the Stop condition output is default if unwired "F"
REASON you had a problem" it makes not sense to wire the same value to both Discard? and Silent Shutdown? (Or even use both) Discard in Filter events is used to "Trap" the event and decide if the app really wants to process it so discarding an app close removes the event and the OS wont process it. Silient Shutdown? does just about the opposite an tru hear means "Shut down the app without any normal user prompts" Wiring them both T or F would trigger either allowing the app close event to process normally or triggering a application shutdown.
COMMENT: I've tried various combinations of nothing & true/false but clicking on the "Windows Red X" still closes the window (as far as I know no one has ever clicked the windows close, but the "Stop" button has been clicked a number of times by mistake)
RESPONSE: Ah! You have "Trained" LabVIEW users! They have been burned so often by LabVIEW code that they expect it to misbehave and don't even think about trying to "Close" a LabVIEW window. In decades past the event structure did not exist in LabVIEW and so the only way to prevent the app close event from firing was "User Training." There are better practices available now.
Q2: If I get the previous suggestion to work and follow the next suggestion (Rip off the abort button), I won't be able to ever stop the vi when it hangs. It still does that sometimes. In my actual vi I'm still getting the hangs.
Amplifications:
if the vi stops[,] the network communication & control to the network application is lost.
then the only way to stop this applications[external app on another processor] is with "^C" in the Putty window.
A2: You've got the tail wagging the cart before the dog-horse! BOTH application need to be rethought in such a manner as they can be independantly controlled. But, this is a LabVIEW forum so I expect that your scope of work is to get the LabVIEW side working in a dignified manner- let's concentrate on that. PuTTY windows and Task Managers are not evil - for debugging and integration. especially when integrating multiple processes that may not yet be "Mature". but a quick VISA write "^C" in your shutdown code might make the other application tolerable
Q3hould I use a "Flat" or "Stacked" sequence to control the order of execution within the "data" loop?
A3: NEITHER. You should do a quick forum search for Queued State Machine or Queued Message Handler (QSM and QMH) after looking at the help for the QSM Sample Project (LabVIEW 2012 or later) the Shipping examples are a good place to start but! many discussion threads have questioned the example's exit practice and offered some alternate examples.

Removing the "Now Playing" sign when the click wheel is moved...

Is there anyway to disable the "Now Playing" sign from appearing when the click wheel is moved?
... I like to use my ipod (20 gig 4G) as a watch when i'm walking home at night. I have the clock display setting on so that the time will be displayed on the top of the screen. My problem, however, is that when I move the wheel to turn on the light, the displayed message changes from the time (which I want to see) to the phrase "Now Playing" (which I have no use for).

If you select the clock from the "Extras" menu, you'll get a large digital clock on the screen which will stay there until you remove it. This might be more fitting for the purpose you describe?

HT4623 How do I get the Air Play feature on my iPad with the iOS7.1 update?

Just updated my iPad with iOS 7.1 and I don't get the Air Play icon with any video apps. What happened to Air Play?

Try this - 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Is there any way to stop websites from auto-playing their content (music/videos) when the page loads?

Certain websites have ads or content that plays music or videos and they are not always easily found to turn off. This also slows down my connection as it is constantly streaming or buffering and I have no way of stopping it. Is there any way that I can disable the websites from automatically playing their content?

Is there any other options for this?
I don't want to block the audio/video, and I do use ad-blocker... However, it's just really annoying when I "open link in new tab" for something I want to look at a little later. Especially if I open several at once, I get multiple tabs playing audio and/or video, and sometimes it takes a while to figure out which tab is doing what...
The issue is I don't want to "block" them -- I just don't want them to play until either the tab is "activated" by clicking on it, or better yet, to only play when I click on the audio/video link.
Thanks!

My iPad 2 just stopped playing videos. The original comes with the iPad video icon opens with a blank black screen and does not repond. I have shut all apps, shut the computer down, but no good. Where to from here?

My iPad just stopped playing videos. The original app that comes with the iPad opens with a blank black screen. I have shut all apps, and the shutdown the co ad, but no effect. Where to from here?

Try searching for the name of one of your videos on the iPad's spotlight search screen - swipe your first homescreen to the right, type in it's name, and if it finds it tap on it to see if it plays.
If that doesn't work then I normally suggest closing the Videos app via the taskbar and re-opening it, and then a reset by pressing and holding both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds unilt the Apple logo should appear - but as it sounds like you've alreadt tried that, then see if the spotlight search works.

The volume on my iPad 3 has gone. I've checked the mute button, tried restarting, resetting etc and nothing has changed. I can't hear the music, hear any sound from videos. Most times the video stops playing after a seconds. My iPad 3 is only 2 months ol.

If you have lost all sound and video is freezing on you, that ain't good. Your iPad is two months old so I would not hesitate to contact Apple at all. You are entitled to 90 days of phone support.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/contact/.
If you want to try a couple of things on your own, try quitting all apps and then reboot the iPad - not so much for the sound issue itself - but more as a general "start all over again" sort of approach. It might help with the video freezes.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Reboot the iPad.
Reboot 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.
If you use headphones on occasion, you can try plugging and unplugging those as well and see if the sound comes back.
You could even try restoring the iPad to factory settings and then restore from a backup, but unless there is something totally hosed on the iPad, that should not be necessary with a two month old device - of course assuming that you didn't drop the iPad or do something accidental that could be causing the problems.
