Ipad's mute button doesn't actually mute anything?

i was watching a movie the other night when someone called me, i thought using the 'new' mute button would be quick and easy but it didn't actually mute the video, it kept playing. after i ended my call i tried to see if it would mute music but that didnt work either? i was wondering if anyone had a solution to this?

It's not useless and serves a special function. It's actually called the "silent" switch and it only silences system sounds like notifications, key presses, etc. The point of the silent switch is to quiet the iPad for meetings, etc. without actually having to turn it on. It's for situations where you don't want, for example, a notification chime to disturb everyone. It's also useful for eliminating system sounds while you are listening to music or watching a movie.
To quickly mute all sounds while, say, playing a movie just press and hold the volume down button. In about 1.5 seconds the sound volume will be reduced to zero.

  • My iPad mini home button doesn't work all the time

    When I click the home button on my ipad, it doesn't do anything. If I try a few more times then it will work once or twice. But not all the time.

    Calibrate Home button
    1. Open a stock application e.g. Calendar or Youtube
    2. Hold down the power button until the "slide to power off" control appears
    3. as soon as you see it, press the home button and keep it pressed until the red slider disappears and the app is force quit to the home menu

  • Cannot delete a video clip from iPad, the Edit button doesn't appear ?

    With iMovie for iOS (iPad) I try to permanently delete a video clip from my iPad.
    I follow the article http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3186. But even if the video clip I want to delete is not used in a project, I simply do not find the Edit button in the upper-left corner above the Video browser as mentionned.
    This is a screenshot
    the Ipad is running iOS 5.1.1 (9B206), the video are not stored in 'pellicule'
    Am I crazy ?
    Thank you for any help.

    Did you shoot the video in iMovie?
    Or did you shoot it via the camera app?
    If it was shot in the camera app, then it needs to be deleted in the Photos app.
    Can you see the video in the photos app?
    You can permanently delete a video clip from your device as long as it’s not in the Camera Roll or the Photos app.

  • Labview Deployment succeeds, but doesn't actually do anything

    Hello everyone, I've got a few questions regarding Labview deployment issues. I was brought on to an already existing project and after a few weeks, successfully finished updating the existing code to how it was expected. From that point, the goal was to deploy that code onto a Windows XP computer (Does not have any Labview components installed on it) that was hooked up to our PLC via Ethernet cable. Unfortunately, this deployment is causing me headaches.
    As I understand it, once we are finished with a project, we then create an executable and installer file through the build specications option, which I have done. Then, we install the file onto the target computer along with any other dependicies it has. This all SEEMINGLY goes well, I get no error messages or anything of that nature. However, upon running the program, it simply doesn't work. Ideally, from this program, we can control and monitor all of the various valves, sensors and whatnot connected to the PLC, along with recieving notifications in certain instances. None of this is functional when running it from the target computer.
    One thing to note is that we are using various .NET components to email these notifications, but the PLC doesn't support any wire/nodes that use .NET. To make sure that alone wasn't the issue, I reverted back to older code without the notifications implemented and still nothing worked. This brings me to my questions:
    1) Is there something I'm missing that could be causing these issues in the deployment process?
    2) How can I use .NET features if the PLC doesn't support them? Or is that I will just have to find another way to do this?
    Thank you all for your help!

    Do you know which Fieldpoint module you are using?  Some modules are actually self-contained computers which can run code; others are simply IO units (and the "smart" units can act as IO units without running any code).  You'll need to know how you're using the module.  Does a Fieldpoint module show up as a target in the project explorer?  If so, and you have code that runs on it, you can create a separate build specification for that application, then build and deploy it from the project explorer.
    You mentioned that you took over and updated an existing project.  Was the original project written in an older version of LabVIEW?  If so, the target PC might have an older version of the Fieldpoint tools, and if you do have a smart Fieldpoint unit, you may need to upgrade it as well (you can do this within measurement and automation explorer).
    Without having more knowledge of the details of your system, it's difficult to provide specific advice.  From your questions it sounds like you're not too familiar with the LabVIEW project environment and working with other targets.  It would help a lot if you could get an identical Fieldpoint setup on your desk to troubleshoot deployment and communication.
    I believe we are using a cFP-2220 fieldpoint module, which does indeed show up as a target. So, from your advice, I would a create separate build application for the fieldpoint module, using the same VI I have used for executable on the PC. After creating the build application, I must then build and deploy it from within the project explorer. If that's the case, that all makes sense to me and I believe there shouldn't be any further issue.
    As for the original project, no, it was all done within the same version of Labview. Regardless, I plan to update the Fieldpoint tools module as well, just to make sure everything's good.

  • The Music player on my iphone 4 doesn't actually play anything

    Music, podcasts, whenever I try to play anything in the music app, the timer stays at 0:00 when I press play. Any other part of the app acts like it's playing something, but it isn't. Other apps work (Video). It's just the one app, but It won't let me delete or reinstall it.

    im facing the same problem in my iphone4. i select any song in the music player, it only skips the song and the next song comes which is also skipped without being played for a second. so yeah basically it skips all the songs. i tried the reset. dint help !

    many thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    those bits of code still don't seem to work. it ends up setting 'null' for strings and 0 for ints still when i press cancel.
    here is more code to show where the data is actually used:-

  • Upgraded to iOS7 on my iPad Mini and now the mute button doesn't work

    I upgraded to iOS7 on my WiFi only iPad Mini and now the mute button doesn't work.   It toggles between Ringer on and off and of course, there is no ringer on my WiFi iPad.

  • Ipad wont reboot & my sleep or lock button doesn't work??

    I updated ios 7 on my ipad just yesterday. After a while I used it, then my ipad kept popping out shut down mode, and lock the screen randomly.
    I tried to reboot it, my screen kept locking randomly. I tried to reboot it for three times, and for the third time, my ipad wouldn't boot up.
    I connected my ipad to itunes and tried to restore my ipad.
    The screen now has quitted to lock randomly. But I found out that my lock button doesn't work anymore. And the next thing I did was to reboot my ipad by pressing the sleep/lock and home button at the same time, hoping that my lock button would work again, and suddenly my ipad showed apple logo frequently without showing progress bar. And the last thing I do now is to connect my device to itunes, and it is now back on. But the lock/sleep button still not working. And I think that if I reboot my ipad again, it will give me the same problem as it wont reboot itself unless i connect it to itunes.
    Please help me regarding this troubleshooting... My ipad was perfectly fine. Thanks in advance!
