How Do I Suspend Screensaver During Video Playback

I'm admittedly new to online streaming (seriously, I only recently canceled my Blockbuster membership) so I'm now watiching movies and original programing on Netflix.  I have my favorite screensaver set to come on after a few minutes.  I mean, I like it that way, just not when I'm watching video content.  Is there a way to suspend screensaver without turnng it off/on in "System Preferences?"

  • IPod 5G Freezes during Video Playback

    iPod freezes during video playback. Does anybody else have this problem?
    Usually freezes up about 10 minutes into a video, and then complety locks up. This usually requires 2 to 3 restarts untill it comes back working properly.

    Mine does the same. It really only happens to me when I try to navigate thru menus when video is playing. I usually have to do a forced Reset. I truly think that introducing video on the iPod was not ready for primetime as it is very sluggish, buggy and sensitive during playbabck of video. No problems with music whatsoever but I am frustrated with the very finicky video qualities of this thing.

  • IPhone 4 rebooting during video playback

    My new iPhone 4 is rebooting whenever I play a video. It can be a Youtube, a podcast or a video I recorded with the camera. Sometimes it does it a minute or so into the video, sometimes when the video ends. I am also getting artifacts on the screen during video playback. Any help? I have Genius Bar appointment this weekend to see if they have a solution.

    Went to Genius Bar and it was a hardware issue. Brand new iPhone 4 in my pocket.

  • How do I reduce slideshow sound during video playback in iPhoto.

    Hi all.
    The quick slideshow in iPhoto 09 is fantastic! The combination of pictures and videos blending into each other works very well.
    ...with one exception. When showing a video with sound the selected background music for the slideshow still plays - at a reduced volume. This reduced backgroundvolume is often not reduced enough and it interfers and destroys the experience of the video clip. I would like to find an option for reducing the backgroundmusic even further or maybe mute it during the video playback. But as soon as next pictures are shown the backgroundmusic should return again.
    A very technical solution eg changing / "hacking" iPhoto files would be fine also.
    Best regds

    That can't be done. Send in a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
    If you're saving the movie as a QT file for use elsewhere and have access to iMovie HD 6 you can do that very easy. Create the movie without added music, export to Quicktime, import into iMovie HD 6 and add the music tracks as desired.

    You will have lots of control over the sound this way.

  • How do I stop my itunes video playback from skipping

  • Freezing with iTunes 7.6.1, thumping sound,especially during video playback

    Hi,
    Has anyone noticed a decrease in system reliability after upgrading to iTunes 7.6.1, especially during video/videopodcast playback in iTunes on their MacBook Pro's?
    Specifically, the entire system locks up. Reminds me of the days of OS 7.5.5 when the mouse cursor freezes, keyboard stops responding. The only way to proceed is by holding down the power button.
    This has occurred about 4 times now. The trackpad will become unresponsive, keyboard buttons such as caplocks and nu lock will be unresponsive too. Most interesting is that the sound output will loop, usually a short bit of the last audio played back over iTunes.
    Videos which have triggered this:
    - Podcast: Diggnation
    - Podcast: ABC World News Now
    - YouTube video's converted by Tooble
    Here's a video I recorded showing the thumping noise. It sounds like the last audio dump before the crash looped. It's not coming from the hard drive. Definitely from the speakers.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzOCcINoClg
    In the video you see I had World of Warcraft up, but I don't think it is the problem, because this kind of crash has occurred while using other programs.
    Details:
    iTunes 7.6.1
    QuickTime 7.4.1
    Mac OS X 10.4.11
    2.2 Ghz (MacBookPro3,1)
    4GB RAM
    External second monitor attached: eMachines 15" LCD
    Prefrence panes additions: Application Enhancer, Divx, FinderPop, Flip4Mac WMV, Perian, Teleport, WindowShade X.
    Have NOT installed Security Update 2008-001 OR AirPort Utility 5.3.1 pending user problem reports.
    I never had such a complete system freeze until about the time I updated to iTunes 7.6.1. Repaired disk, permissions, cleaned up virtual memory, cache's using AppleJack.
    Thanks, just want to see if this is an isolated problem.

    First, create a new user account and see if you can replicate the problem on that account.
    If so, start by killing all the running daemons that aren't OS X-native apps. In other words, Window Shade X, Application Enhancer, divx, etc. Quit all that junk and use Activity Monitor to make sure those apps aren't running background tasks. I'd be willing to bet that Application Enhancer is the culprit.
    See if that solves the problem. If so, you can add the applications back one by one until you find the one that's causing problems.

  • IPad 2 screen becomes unresponsive during video playback

    I just purchased an iPad 2, and one of the first disappointments I've seen is that the screen becomes completely unresponsive during playback of a video with the "Videos" App.  This happens after the video has been playing for several seconds.  Is there a fix to this problem?  My only recourse was to shut down the application; however, the problem is persistent.  This means there is NO control of video playback, i.e., pause, FForward, Reverse, Skip????  I have already updated my iPad 2 with the latest OS.  What gives??? 

    What quite often works for people with problems with the Videos app are the following.
    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 try closing the Videos app completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with the Videos app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Videos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option if the two above don't work is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Can't hear recorded sound during video playback

    I take a lot of videos of my kids.  I have noticed lately that the volume is low or muffled...you can't hear what is being said even if they are screaming 6 inches away.  I thought maybe something had gotten into the microphone, etc.  I recorded a voice memo and on playback i could hear what was recorded just fine at a normal level. Now once I tried to record a video of my kids talking, it played back so low that i can't hear anything and that is with the volume turned wide open.  Not really sure what this issue could be but if the volume works fine on voice memo wouldn't it work the same on video playback?

  • Why Does Mavericks 'Display' Show Two Black Bars During Video Playback?

    Hey guys. So I'm at college and I've been watching a bunch of movies on my Macbook.
    I own a 24-inch monitor where I play the movies through, as I connect it to my Macbook Pro 2012.
    When I was on Mountain Lion and I'd play a movie, the video playback would take up the entire 24-inch display screen perfectly.
    But now that I've updated to Mavericks, every movie including YouTube videos are stretched and small with two HUGE black bars on the top and on the bottom. I've tried changing the 'Display' options but it still remains the same and it's bugging me out so much that I may need to go back to Mountain Lion just because of this.
    Does anyone have any advice and may have suffered from the same issue? It worked perfectly on Mountain Lion but now it makes the videos look stretchy.

    Most YouTube content requires Flash ..  You're using Safari to view YouTube?
    If so ...
    Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
    Click Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
    Not empty the Safari cache.
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Select:  Show Develop menu in menu bar
    Now click Develop from the menu bar. From the drop down menu click Empty Caches.
    Quit and relaunch Safari then try a video.

  • How do I stop notifications/reminders during video playback?

    I need to use my iPad to show some videos at work. I am showing videos to large crowds in an auditorium. How do I prevent notifications/reminders from stopping the playback of my video?

    Seems like there should be a global Notifications switch to turn all off temporarily when watching video or for other situations where you don't want to be interrupted.  It is crazy/very unfriendly to have to individually adjust each notification item every time a non-interrupt situation arises.

  • Macbook Shuts Down During Video Playback

    My computer has begun to shut down unexpectedly when I am watching a movie. I watch about 20-30 mins of a show/movie/other video and my computer will shut down completely, whether it is plugged in or not. My computer is an early 2008 macbook, 4.1, running osx lion. My battery condition is "replace soon" and my fan has gotten quite loud over the past year or so. Any ideas on how I might fix this problem? New Battery? New charger? Internatal cleaning?
    Thank you very much to everyone.

    Hello,
    I am having this very same issue. It shuts down during startup. I can boot into Windows, and using the Leopard startup disc, Disk Utility could not work any magic. I do not have a second Mac or access to one for any backup purposes. I have no idea what else to try, does anyone know something besides backing up through firewire, on how I can either save my computer's data or resurrect the drive? Thank you for your help.

  • Ipod Classic 160GB crashes and reboots during Video playback :S

    I recently brought a film on itunes and have watched it on my computer and it works fine, i have also tested its playback on 4 other video ipods but when i try to watch it on my ipod classic it crashes and reboots after about 20 minutes, however i can click the select button and get past the crashing point and the film plays fine. Can anybody help? i also have 4 other films on there that work fine its just this certain point on the movie.
    My ipod is an ipod classic 160GB bought on the 14th January 2011

    just wondering if you were using Vista ( Nvidia drivers) with SATA drives. I have the same problem as you and i thought it was a problem with my ipod touch. My friend has an ipod touch as well and i tried to copy the file to his ipod and the same problem occurred. played for about 10 minutes and crashed both ipods, sometimes back to menu other times reboots to apple symbol.
    I Copied the same file to my ipod classic and there were no problems. played perfectly on my other ipod. I tried 3 other files and same thing happened everytime. I cant get any video files to play without rebooting the ipod touch.
    I then copied the same files to my laptop with an IDE hard drive running XP and it works perfectly.
    Dont know why or how i can fix the problem but i now only transfer video files on my laptop instead of my brand new super fast Vista PC. could be the PC is trying to transfer files too quickly and they become corrupted somehow. Its very annoying but the workaround works until a solution is found.
    hope this helps

  • ITunes audio quickly begins to lag behind during video playback and only gets worse as playing continues.

    I've tried updating my graphics drivers, fiddling with Quicktime, uninstalling, reinstalling, etc. iTunes and my drivers are all as up-to-date as possible. Videos on my computer play in other players without any audio/visual synch problem, but all of the videos I bought in the iTunes store have this problem. When I pause a movie, the synch will be restored for a minute when I unpause it, but it has no lasting effect. This problem has essentially made all my movies unplayable, since DRM makes it impossible for me to use other programs - and oddly enough, the problem has only been happening in the last six months or so. Please, help if you can!

    I guess not.  That makes sense now.  I was importing too quick for the longer clips.  The shorter clips don't cause any trouble because they conform so fast.  This article showed me how to fix the problem and allow the audio to conform properly: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WSF08BCDDB-FCD7-40a2-8290-8872EE725E6B.ht ml#WSa41b87baf39dd9b0-4a7aee25125bce32690-8000.

  • Tearing during video playback

    Whenever I'm running any moving image on my iMac, a horizontal line tears the image in two, rising to the top of the screen, to re-appear at the bottom and rise again. I have this in Quicktime, DVD player, Front Row, Safari, games, etc... The tear is also visible when I'm moving windows around.
    A second screen connected to the mini-DVI port doesn't have this problem. Running video on Windows XP (Bootcamp) on the same iMac doesn't show the tear either. This makes me assume it's not a hardware issue.
    I've read reports that OS X 10.4.5 should have solved this issue, but it didn't work for me. My SMC version is 1.1f5, which is the most recent one I can find.
    How can I solve this problem?

    I found out what's causing this. I only have the problem when my external LCD TV is connected to my mini-DVI port. When nothing's in the mini-DVI port, my internal display works perfectly under OSX!
    Now I like to keep the TV cable conveniently connected to my iMac, wether I'm using the LCD TV or not (it's not on all the time). So I still like to solve this problem.
    I'm pretty sure it's software. I wonder if there's a way to alter my graphics card settings so I can run some tests.
