How do i mark videos as watched on ipad

When I am watching a movie or tv show on my ipad that is being shared from my Mac, the video is never marked as shared on the iPad. If i go into itunes on the Mac it will show the item as watched. This makes it very frustrating when watching TV episodes on the iPad and then not being able to keep track as to which episodes have been watched. Is this a bug on the iPad and home sharing or is this simply an over sight from Apple?

The video on that site uses Flash not HTML5. From the page source
"The ABC7/WJLA Live Player requires
<a href="http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/">Adobe Flash Player</a>"
The error message is telling you the page does not support HTML5 video which your iPad does support.
 Sorry Illaass. I meant to respond to the original poster not to you.

  • How do you transfer video files from the iPad to a separate device?

    How do I transfer video files from my iPad Air to a separate device or storage device so that I free up memory on my iPad

    You can directly transfer photos and videos via WiFi between the iDevices, PCs, and Macs with an App like Photo Transfer.
    See: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photo-transfer-app-easily/id365152940?mt=8
    Or you can upload the photos and videos to the Dropbox service using the Dropbox App on the iDevice, PC, or Mac and download them to the another device using the Dropbox App on that device. By the way, once the videos are on Dropbox you can share them with others.

  • How do I retrieve videos made on my iPad that I accidentally deleted by removing them from from my photo stream?

    How do I retrieve videos made on my iPad that I accidentally deleted by removing them from from my photo stream?

    Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are not synced. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are not touched with the iTunes sync process. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your computer which is not handled by iTunes. Most importing software includes an option to delete the photos/videos from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete. If is my understanding that some Windows import software supports importing photos from the Camera Roll, but not videos. Regardless, the import software should not delete the photos/videos from the Camera Roll unless you set the app to do so.
    Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are included with your iPhone's backup. If you synced your iPhone with iTunes before the videos on the Camera Roll went missing and you haven't synced your iPhone with iTunes since they went missing, you can try restoring the iPhone with iTunes from the iPhone's backup. Don't sync the iPhone with iTunes again and decline the prompt to update the iPhone's backup after selecting Restore.

  • Front Row not marking video as watched properly

    I kept hoping that this issue would be resolved with one of the point releases, but here we are at 10.6.3 and it's still the same for me, so here's the problem.
    Before installing 10.6 I was running 10.5.8 and when using Front Row to watch a video (say a TV show I downloaded on iTunes) I'd watch it all the way to the end and the status circle next to it would show that it's been watched. iTunes would report the same status.
    Since installing 10.6 when I watch a video in Front Row all the way, the status shows up as if it's only partially watched instead of completely watched. I'm sure the video was over since I let it play all the way through until it comes back to Front Row.
    This is very annoying. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there some way to fix it? If not, I hope Apple can address this in 10.6.4.

    Bump.
    I have tried multiple solutions and non have solved this issue. I am rather disappointed that watching content on my AppleTV or via FrontRow does not mark the show as "watched" in iTunes. FrontRow will mark it part watched and AppleTV does not effect the watched status flag at all.
    I do believe this is an iTunes 10 issue though as I only saw it after upgrading to iTunes 10.
    Can anyone point me to a solution?

  • Marking videos as watched in iOS 8

    After upgrading to iOS 8 a bunch of my videos 'in the cloud' marked themselves as unwatched.
    I don't want to download 10GB+ of videos just to skip to the end and have them marked as watched.
    Is there any way to mark them as watched?

    Ok it appears that the watched status in iTunes will sync to the phone even for videos in the cloud.
    I marked everything in iTunes as unwatched, synced, then marked all my watched videos as watched, and synched. Now it's 99% accurate on the phone.

  • Marking videos as "watched"

    I have the new Apple TV. It works great. However, today I noticed something odd. I have TV shows on my computer in iTunes and both devices use Home Sharing. Everything works great and I watch the TVs from the Computer on the Apple TV. However, when a show concludes, my old Apple TV will mark the show as "Watched" on the computer there by allowing my other devices (iPads, iPods etc) to see the show as watched and not sync them. The new Apple TV does not mark shows as watched.
    If I hold down the remote button and get the pop up dialog to manually mark the show as watched, the new Apple TV crashes and reboots.
    Anyone else having this issue? I have 2 new apple tvs, in different rooms and I have confirmed that this happens on both. Manually marking a show as "watched" causes the new Apple TV to crash and reboot.

    that's because it's not an itunes issue. it's an appletv software issue, and won't be resolved until there is an update to the appletv software.
    I was attempting to verify this problem and test a hypothesis. Above in the thread, someone suggested that they had success with a restore. It can be safely assumed that it is a bug in the AppleTV software, but since iTunes does have a hand in the operation, it is also plausible that iTunes 10 might be causing the issue. I was trying to replicate and verify that a restore might fix the problem. Add this been the case, then it would suggest that the OS shipped on the ATV is different than the one obtained through a restore. This is however, not the case.
    After restoring my AppleTV, it still crashes and restarts when trying to mark shows as "Watched." It also does not correctly mark a show as "Watched" when the end of a show is reached.
    Hopefully, Apple reps read these and report the issues.

  • C3-00: How to download Youtube videos and watch th...

    Hey there everyone!
    I got a new Nokia C3 as a birthday present yesterday. Yet I've already encountered a few problems. First of all: how can I download video's from YouTube to my phone? And is it possible to download just pictures from the internet? I've tried, but that Opera thingie seems to not support a proper 'download' function for images and the like...which is, honestly, kind of disappointing, because with my previous Samsung phone, I could download pictures without any problems...Same goes for music files, btw. Is there any manual that describes how to download music files to the phone? I don't want to be restricted to the audio files and the wallpapers that have already been installed on the phone, I'd like to personalise it a bit to my tastes...
    As for a general overview of the phone: it's very fancy, but it's kind of difficult to use. The interface is kind of a mess, and it seems that a lot of basic functions, like adjusting the brightness of the screen and the timer for the lights. When I discovered there was no function to adjust this whatsoever, I was severly disappointed, since the light of the phone goes out ridiculously quick and I find it very annoying. I have seen on the forums that there seems no option for this, so I suppose I will have to rest my case on this one...
    Anyway, I hope this doesn't turn out to be a fluke of some kind. In any case, it is nice to meet you all, and I eagerly await some of your kind help!
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi, 
    if you want to download videos from YouTube you should try and install the program YouTube Dowloader which is available free from OVI Store. If you dont have OVI Store installed on your mobile you can use your computer to download it.
    If you want to copy music from your computer to your mobile you might want to use OVI Player rather than OVI Suite,(i found it better as it transfers the artwork of the album covers and using OVI Suite no artwork was transferred). At least that was the case for me although my phone is a C7 and not the C3
    As regards to the time out for the display the C7 has a maximum of 1min don't know what the C3 is but it seems like they don't allow much more time to save battery life.
    Hope some of this helps but as i say as i don't have the same model.
    All the best

  • HOW do you move video from PC to Ipad 3

    Yes, it's an often asked question. Itunes directions say go to advanced. WHERE is 'advanced' in new itunes?
    You can't drag a video MP4 file to itunes.
    Please provide a confirmed step by step process to move win 7 file to Ipad 3 using a video mp4 file. Wasted hours trying to do this. I know i can just open it in dropbox, and it works fine, but it would be nice to use ipad functionality.

    On iTunes 11 if you haven't already done so, then you can enable the left-hand sidebar via control-S on a PC - that might make some things easier.
    If the video is in a compatible format then you can add it to your iTunes library via File > Add File To Library (control-O, or alt-F to open the File drop-down menu). You can then sync it to the Videos app on your iPad by connecting the iPad to your PC and selecting it on the left-hand sidebar, and then on the right-hand side using the Movies/Films tab to select and sync it - if you get a 'not compatible' message when trying to sync it then try selecting the video in the Films/Movies section of your library and do File > Create New Version > Create iPad Version (alt-F should open the File drop-down menu) and then try syncing that version.

  • HT5622 Could someone tell me how to edit a video taken from my iPad?  I just want to extract a particular moement taped.  Thanks so much!

    Could you kindly let me know how to find the information about editing iPad generated videos.
    Thank you,

    You can get your videos off your iPad, either syncing them off or uploading/downloading them. then you can use something like mpegstreamclip to pull out only a segment. (It's freeware, you can google it)
    You open your video in mpegstreamclip then mark the in and out that you want to pull out, choose the format you want it to be and then let it do its thing.

  • How can I get videos back on my iPad 2

    So I wanted to make a video on my iPad with iMovie, but I accidentally took off the videos I had used in iMovie, and I'd like to figure out how to get them back on so that I can use them in iMovie again because when I tried to put them back on the way I got them off, it didn't work.
    Someone please help me with this.

    YOu need to get the videos into the photos app.
    So either add the videos to iPhoto, or in a folder.
    Plug in the iPad to your computer.
    fire up iTunes.
    Go to the iPad options, and then to the Photos tab.
    Select the folder with videos, or an album with the videos from iPhoto.
    MAke sure to tick the include videos tab.
    IMovie will be able to delink to the videos again.

  • How to control the video playback function on ipad?

    Hi there,
    I am creating a project containing video content that will be delivered on an ipad. I would like my video to behave like many other videos do on ipad publications:
    1. I want the poster frame of the video to appear small on the page before it is clicked
    2. When the poster frame for the video is clicked, I would like the video to expand to full screen using iOS's built in video capabilities
    3. The user can then press "Done" to exit full screen mode back to the page that displays the small poster frame of the video
    I have placed my video (an mp4 file) inside a small frame and set the Media panel options to:
    -Play on page load (unchecked)
    -Loop (unchecked)
    -Poster (from image)
    -Controller (SkinOverPlaySeekFullScreen)
    -Show controller on Rollover (Checked)
    However, when I publish to ipad my video behaves as follows:
    1. The poster frame appears small before it is clicked
    2. When the video is clicked it opens to the full video size (not full screen), however it operlaps the text layout rather than creating a black background to mask the content while the video plays
    3. The video skin does not allow the user to navigate out of full screen mode back to the original layout of the page
    Also, no matter what video skin I choose it doesn't seem to change the skin. The skin is always the same, including a mute and play/pause button and no other user controls.
    How do I create a skin that allows me to leverage the iOS video playback capabilities?

    I can almost see a big grin appearing in Bob's avatar... 
    Hopefully his reply has given you a clue already?
    If not, some explanation:
    Many settings in the standard "Media" panel (for both video and audio) don't apply for publications that need to go the Folio-way. This panel is mainly concerned with lovely Flash stuff, but apart from the Poster frame and the Markers, it is useless for Folio's.
    A quick guide: create a video with the necessary codec (H.264 for video, MP# or AAC for audio) at the required pixel size (exact width/height). Simply Place the file in InDesign, but don't scale it (or recreate and place a properly sized new video afterwards). Choose what to do with the Poster frame (and maybe some Markers), but all other settings are done in the Overlay Creator.
