IPad mini losses playback controls/capabilities using shared library content videos

While accessing my shared "authorized" video library on my MacBook Pro, using the latest iTunes version (as of this submission), with my sparkling new iPad mini, the playback controls simply disappear usually after a few minutes, i.e. no progress bar, buttons for stop/start/pause/"done".
The video stream from the shared library cannot be stopped without the on-screen controls so we either attempt to turn off the unit (pressing the top on/off button) or (usually) press the home button after which the video stream/app stops then return to the expected ipad screen but the residual sound stream will continue to run indefinitely.
Most of the time, we hit the home button to end the video playback then wait for the sound stream portion to end which on average takes up to 1-5 minutes to stop completely.
This is repeatable too. 
SUMMARY:
1). Without power cycling, we can play a video from the shared librar
2). then wait long enough for the video controls to "go missing" or again go unresponsive
3.) then press the home button which returns you to your normal iPad screen
4.) but the sound stream portion will take a while to take its course before ending.
Also, we gave power-cycling between issues but the each and every time, the shared library video playback inevitably ended up with same results.
iPad mini with iOS 6.1.3 factory , wifi only unit with legitimate software, etc. I.e. no jailbreak nonsense.
Any suggestions?  Or is this a glitch/bug which needs addressing?  Or a simple setting on the unit?
Thanks in advance!!!

I have nearly the same problem, but with an iPad 3rd generation. The symptoms are exactly the same, just a different device.
You documented the problem well, I can only add that resetting and reloading did not solve the problem for me.

    I bought my iPad mini two weeks ago and used my apple ID to make it sync with my iPhone. But so far I have not been able to activate iMessage and face time. It only gives me the option of signing in and when I do that I get an error message telling me that either my user name or password for my email is incorrect; even though I have been using my correct my apple ID in the password entry area. My apple ID works for every thing else. Please, can you help in this case?

  • New IPad mini does not share photos using Photo stream

    New IPad mini does not share photos using Photo stream. Turned on sharing on both devices and also setup bluetooth both devices and they are connected. have photos on my mini put does not send to my Mac using photo stream
    Gary

    Photo stream doesn't use bluetooth; only wifi.  Photos added to the camera roll on your device are automatically added to photo stream when the camera app is closed, your device is connected to wifi, and it has at least 20 % battery life remaining.  Also, only photos added to the camera roll after enabling photo stream are uploaded, not photos prior to enabling photo stream.  If the photos appear in your my photo stream album on your iPad Mini, then they were successfully added to your photo stream.
    To share them with your Mac, your Mac must be running OS X Lion (10.7.4) or higher, and you must have either iPhoto 9.2 or higher or Aperture 9.2 or higher.  If you do, you must sign into your iCloud account in System Preferences>iCloud and check Photo Stream in order for the photos to automatically be added to iPhoto (or Aperture).  This is explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.

  • Can I connect my iPad mini to a data projector using a lightning to 30-pin adapter connected to a 30-pin to VGA connector? Or will this only work with a lightning to VGA connector.

    Can I connect my iPad mini to a data projector using a lightning to 30-pin adapter connected to a 30-pin to VGA connector? Or will this only work with a lightning to VGA connector?

    The lightning to 30 pin adapter does not support video as per the item description in the Apple online store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD823ZM/A/lightning-to-30-pin-adapter
    This adapter lets you connect devices with a Lightning connector to many of your 30-pin accessories.* Supports analog audio output, USB audio, as well as syncing and charging. Video output not supported.
    You will need to the Lightning to VGA adapter directly
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD825ZM/A/lightning-to-vga-adapter?fnode=3a
    Or the Lightning Digital AV Adapter

  • HT4101 Why won't my iPad mini allow my gopro 32gb SD card to transfer video using the lightening to SD card camera reader?

    Why won't my iPad mini allow my gopro 32gb SD card to transfer video using the lightening to SD card camera reader?
    The gopro transfer worked with my original iPad. Is it the lightening technology?

    If you've gone through all that and it's the right kind of SD card, right naming convention etc. try giving your iPad a reset. Sometimes that port gets turned off (for lack of a better term) and a reset turns it back on. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
    If it still doesn't work, if you have access to another iPad try the reader on that. THere are some defective ones out there. If it works on another iPad then there's something going on with yours. If it doesn't work on another iPad then you may want to take that reader back and exchange it because it may be bad.

  • Music app crashes while using shared library

    On my ipad 2 while using shared library every time I search the app crashes and most times when I try to play music on the music app via shared, only a handful of the artists show up and album art is all wrong. I tried it with two different ipad 2's thus it's itunes on my Mac Mini..
    I've tried:
    1. Reset ipad (didn't work)
    2. Signed out of ipad music shared, shut app down, sign back in. Most times I'll get all my artists and album art back but when I try to search it crashes, then once I reopen the artists are back down to a handful as opposed to hundreds. Search again, crashes immediately.
    3. I converted all music in my library to the newest ID tags (didn't work)
    4. I deleted both library files, (didn't work)
    5. I started over completely, deleted my library files and media, re imported, changed all ID tags to newest version (didn't work)
    6. Both ipads and computer and itunes are fully up to date
    7. I re synced both ipads by plugging them into the computer, deleted all music (didn't' work)
    This has been going on a long time, even under itunes 10, I'm out of options at this point.
    I have 8842 tracks at 66.76 gb.

    Unfortunately, I gave up and didn't find a solution.  However, it is, as of today, working properly. 
    Sorry, wish I had a good solution for you.

  • How to load external SWF used sharing library.

    Hi~~~
    Before ask the question, plz understand my bad English..
    Recently I try to load the Swf file that is maded by Flash CS 6.0.
    Especially it used shared library..
    When I try to load this SWF, I used FileStream instead URLRequest.
    This is because the target SWF File located same device with the Swf Application.. So when I use the URLRequest
    it give me the warning - Sandbox security violation.
    But by using FileStream, the warning did not occur.
    This is the sample code below..
      var myFile = new File(path);
      var myStream = new FileStream();
      myStream.open(myFile, FileMode.READ;
      var myBytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
      myStream.readBytes( myBytes );
       mSwfLoader.loadBytes( fileStream, context );
       mSwfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoadedComplete);
    As you can see, I made a event listener to get the content of the Loader, after receving Complete Event(I guess.. after decording?).
    But I can't receive any event call, so I removed symbol used sharing library in the SWF.
    And this gave me the result as I respected... So I guess the problem caused by using sharing Library..!
    (In parenthease, I can see the valid result in running debug time on the Flash CS6..)
    What should I do? I respect that using sharing libary give saving memory.  So I want to using it as possible.
    Thanks for your reading...!

  • Can I copy photos from my new iPad mini to an SD card using  Lighning to SD card reader?

    I would like to copy photos from a camera SD card onto an iPad mini (iOS 8.2), then copy them onto another SD card as a backup. Can this be done and what is required?

    The iPad doesn't natively support that. You can get the camera connection kit and import photos but it does not support writing data off the iPad.
    There are some wireless flash drives that you can use to export data to that may be doing what you want.
    The Kingston WiDrive is one of them but there are others you can search for to find one that works for you.
    Another thing to do would be to import the photos, then use something like dropbox to back your files onto (although I personally prefer storage I can control not servers that I can't but I'm old fashioned that way)

  • Streaming video from an iPad mini to a MacBook Pro using Airplay

    How do I stream video from my iPad to my MacBook Pro?  I want to watch the video content of my iPad mini on my MacBook Pro.  I have a mac-based application called "Reflector." and it says an iPad can stream video using Airplay, but I have no idea how to start Airplay (or cause it to stream video to the MBP).
    Thanks,

    I can't seem to edit my old message so I will add as a reply.  I think my question may not be very clear.  Here is an image of my iPhone screen (running 7.1.2 and I'm sorry it's so big):  (Continue reading below the big image.)
    But as you see there is no Airplay button beside the AirDrop button on the control panel.  I see this same control panel on all my iDevices (or at least there is no Airplay icon on any of them).  How do I get this icon to appear.  By the way, I am using a Cisco wireless router - not an airport router (could that be the problem?)

  • HT204023 What is 'sim pin' under Cellular data on my iPad mini?  How do I use that and change cards from one country to another?

    I have a new ipad mini with retina display, and cellular capability.
    I've learned how to set up an account and use it in the US.  I'm now traveling internationally and need to learn about changing the sim card.
    My first question is about the notation under 'settings', Cellular Data, SIM PIN.  Under SIM PIN, there is an option of turning on 'sim pin' and then entering a PIN to lock the SIM.
    What does SIM PIN mean in the first place?
    Where does the PIN number come from?
    Thankx.
    SusanFrances

    A SIM PIN, also referred to sometimes as a PUK Code is like a PIN number for your SIM card (just like your ATM Card).  Since your SIM card has your cellular account on it and can be typically removed from one device and put into another, you can lock the SIM Card with a SIM PIN if you choose.  If you activate the SIM PIN feature and forget your SIM PIN when you try to re-activate your device or a new device in the future using the same SIM Card, you may have to contact you carrier to get a new SIM Card. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1316
    As far as changing the SIM Cards out because you want to use a new carrier, you can remove the SIM card fomr the old carrier and put in the SIM  card form the new carrier. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5163
    I hope this helps clear things up.
