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.

New Quicktime 7.1.6 and Vista = Blue Screen of Death during video playback

I received an alert from Quicktime about a critical upgrade to 7.1.6. I was running version 7.1.5 without problem. So I did a full upgrade of iTunes w/Quicktime from the download site. Now shortly after trying to play videos from my PC I get the BSOD. I can play videos from the iTunes web site but not videos on my PC that I bought from iTunes.

Touch screen becoming unresponsive

I have a week 38 iPod Touch and the touch screen started to become unresponsive around the time of the 1.1.1 update (not saying it is related). I owned the iPod for approximately 30 days before the screen started having issues.
I have a difficult time operating the unlock slider and the volume control. It is irritating (to say the least) to not be able to adjust the volume of the iPod during music or video playback or unlock the iPod from sleep mode.
Additionally, other sections of the screen become unresponsive. It does not matter if I am in landscape or portrait mode (video or music modes). The slider will still not track my finger. This leads me to believe it is possibly a software glitch although that doesn't rule out things like overheating which could be causing the issue to occur.
I purchased my iPod at Best Buy. Anyone know if you can return one from that store to an Apple store under the 1 year warranty?
I surely hope Apple helps me out since this is an obvious usability issue.

Well, I've tried 2 different brands now (nillkin & ultimate shield) and both had the same issues. I'm reluctant to throw any more money at screen protectors as clearly something is not quite right.
I've been a fan of ultimate shield protectors up to now as I've had them on my previous 2 phones without issue.
Anybody had similar issues and found a brand that works properly?
Thanks & merry Christmas

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.

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.

Part of my iPad screen is unresponsive!

Part of my iPad screen is unresponsive, whenever I am sliding an object across the screen and I get to that bit, it's acts as if I have lifted my finger off? Help its brand new

Have you tried rebooting, resetting all settings or restoring the iPad? It could very well be a problem with the screen that no software solution can solve, but give those a try.
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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.

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 mini becoming unresponsive

Hi, this week my iPad mini started to become unresponsive and with a weird behaviour.
I was using Google Maps and then the touch screen started to become unresponsive, and now it's opening applications by itself, when I try to type some text, for example, if I press a letter, it types the letter three times.
Did anyone see this kind of behaviour before?

Try this and see if it helps.
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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

IPad2 touch screen becomes unresponsive.

after awhile, then will work, then stop again. When it comes unresponsive, you can hit the lock button and home button and it will function, but can't use the touch screen what so ever. It has the latest iOS and is an iPad 2. It seems to start doing this after going to ios7. Then for awhile, it seemed to be fine after an update, but goes right back to doing this. Also, the wifi will drop. The symbol will disappear from the top left corner and you can't go into the wifi setting and turn it on or off because it is greyed out.

Good day shrekfx,

FINDER becomes UNRESPONSIVE during AppleScript runs in 10.6.5

Has anyone experiences the Finder becoming unresponsive when running a script in Snow Leopard? We have scripts that push PDFs to an Apple Server (10.4) via SMB or AFP and while the script does run fine- during the last minute of it running, the Finder and the AppleScript become unresponsive for 30-60 sec or so then snap back and finish their job.
This was not happening in Leopard (so they say) to the same Tiger Server
Any Ideas what we may be experiencing? A suggested Fix? is 10.6.7 going to resolve this issue with Slow SMB connections?

I have the exact same problem on two of my imacs, both have the 10.6.5 update and have been having networking problems since November of last year. I have pinged both IP addresses successfully so they are active.I have also tweaked the proxy settings for our network, trying all combinations, to no avail.
I have at least succeeded in getting one of the macs to connect to email and Safari but the connection in Safari times out after about 10 minutes and then hangs and you have to force quit. Thereafter only a reboot will restore Safari.
The second imac is in a worse state, in that it does not connect up at all even though the network is active and IP has been successfully pinged.

I have a refurbished iPhone 5 (which I got less than a year ago) and the screen becomes unresponsive and there is a purplish haze that appears on the phone when I try to use it. Hasn't been dropped or cracked.. What could it be? help!!

I Have a refurbished iPhone 5 that is less than a year old (apple replaced my first one due to a battery fault) but this one has all of a sudden become unresponsive most times and a purple haze has come thru the background on the lCd. The cursor goes abit cranky sometimes too and jumps from Window to window?! It has never been dropped or screen has never been replaced either no exposure to water or sun. This happened after I upgraded to the new iOS 8.1. I don't think it was the update but I've never had good results from updating the iPhone anyway..
HELP?? I have an appt with Apple tomorrow but don't know if I can wait that long!!
THanks in advance.

IPhone 6 plus screen becomes unresponsive!!!

I bought my IPhone 6 plus when released. I received it by mail on October 17. now the phone was perfect,it worked the way it should and the screen was perfect also. The only problem i had with it was that whenever i would close an app through the multitask menu my screen would flash blue but i would disregard it. 2 months go by and everything is perfect. it wasn't until late December when i began to have an issue with the phone. My screen would become unresponsive to touch and when it did respond it will be completely way off from where i touched it. i will also get this gray bar at the top of my screen when it happens. this happens almost all the time throughout the day. its getting to the point to where my phone is almost unusable. I haven't dropped my phone and it hasn't came into contact with water either. I have done a factory reset and set my phone up as new and it didn't work either. I just want to know if i am the only one having this issue or are there other people with this problem.

I have an Iphone6 bought in October and after iOS 8.1.3 the screen became unresponsive. I did the hard reset and itunes reset doesn’t work. It starts ok everything fine in minutes working the screen freeze. All other things works fine, music still playing, gps still guiden me, the phone rings ( But i can't take the call as the screen do not accept my command ). I don’t know what to do.

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
Jesper

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.
