IPad video widescreen aspect in photo app

Since updating to iOS 7 videos I exported from iMovie are not playing in widescreen format. The left and right edges are chopped off because it is only displaying it in full screen . How can I play them in the widescreen format?

Same problem! All videos played in either "photos" or "camera roll" factory apps default to widescreen so sides are chopped off. Double-tapping successfully changes to desired widescreen, but this is a huge pain - NOT a permanent solution. I need to run slideshows of short product videos in a loop. Now every time a new one opens during any slideshow, it reverts back to fullscreen. Every single one needs to be double-tapped each and every time it opens. Manager at Apple store confirmed this is an iOS7 glitch but fix doesn't seem to be coming. Anyone have any new info on this or found any work around?

IPad 3 sluggish in the photos app

I'm still getting to know my new iPad, but one thing I didn't expect to experience with a fresh install on a new iPad was the photos app struggling.
Generally it feels a bit sluggish and stalling in a few views, but really oddly it just practically grinds to a halt when trying to scroll through the event view.
Oddly it only does this near the top of the list of events, after a while it starts to behave normally. I'm guessing it's down to some files involved or perhaps just a general corruption somewhere. Still the event view should be fairly simplistic, much fewer items than the normal photos, and only showing a handful of thumbnails per event, if not mostly one thumbnail as they sit on top of each other.
I've made a video of the iPad 3 and iPad 2 working on the same photo set, about 5000 photos, roughly 10gig on the iPad 3.
You can see the video here
http://vimeo.com/38816628
Anyone else experience this, or get to the bottom of it... I will try to selectively remove items, be nice if I could force iTunes to re-shrink the files on my mac ready for syncing back on the pad in case something went wrong there.
Cheers

jim,
You are not alone! I'm equally dissappointed with the overall responsiveness of the iPad3. I assume it's do to the current code (additional code implemented to add dictation to the iPad3, pixel resolution, etc.) Nonetheless, several applications on the iPad3 are slow to respond. For instance, OliveTree BibleReader lags when navigating to different books and hangs for about 2 seconds when you go from Vertical to Horizontal.
The facebook application has also been extremely unresponsive. I still have my iPad 2 and I'm seriously considering the option to return the iPad3 because of the "overall" user experience. I really enjoy the crispier text, but only a few applications have been updated to make use of the resolution and the sluggishness of the iPad3 outweighs the benefits of the resolution.

HT4108 Why does an iPad (1st gen) and the Photos app using VGA adapter

Why does an iPad (1st gen) using iOS 5.1 and the Photos app not send a single photo to a projector while a slideshow is sent photo by photo?

I am not 100% sure, but i believe the iPad only does mirroring when connecting with AppleTV. AV cables will output audio and video out the bottom of the iPad (30-pin connector) to a TV/monitor, but the iPad screen itself will only show video controls (play/pause, FF, RW, Done, Progression bar). If your cables say otherwise I am interested to know what brand they are and where you got them. If you are not getting any video at all the cables are probably not Apple approved and dont have the special chip in the 30-pin connector that allows for video transition.

On the iPad when I click on photo app it won't load

MMy photo app won't load. Why not

Hi ..
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Then try again.

Cannot play video files in new photos app for mac

Hi There,
I recently moved from an older imac to a new one (both had Yosemite installed). I moved my photos over by copying my old photo library file and pasting it to replace the same file on the new mac. All my photos came over fine, however i am unable to play some of the video files. I get a warning saying 'Cannot Play file - Photos cannot play this video. Do you want to try opening it in Quicktime Player?'. If i try in quicktime it won't open either.
What's strange is that when i go to the info tab for these videos they show as .MOV files that were taken on an iphone 5S - but they are very small in size - 5KB or so. Perhaps the size of the thumbnail image only. Any ideas on how i can fix this? When i open them on the old mac i get an other warning issue stating 'The necessary data reference could not be resolved'
Thanks in advance for any help.
John

At that size, what copied over is just the reference to the video file, not the video itself. Some suggestions:
1. In iPhoto, select the video, then in the File menu select Reveal in Finder. If this finds the original file, add it manually to Photos.
2. Perform a Spotlight search for the video file title/name. If found, move to Photos.
3. If you imported or modified the files in iMovie, launch it and find/export the originals from there.

Ipad turns off when opening photos app

When i open my photos on ipad 1 16gb wifi i turns off then about a minute later it shows apple logo and it back on
any ideas and how to fix?
thx in advance ben

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!

HT4597 Can I just choose which apps or photos to sync via iCloud since I don't want all of them in all my devices? I have all photos & apps in my iMac but only sync manually some of them to my iPad and to my iPhone. Can I still do this with iCloud?

I have 3 Apple devices - iMac, iPhone, and iPad. I am planning to move to iCloud from MobileMe. In iTunes, I just choose to sync whatever files I want my iPhone and iPad to have since they don't have sufficient disk space as my iMac.
Can I just choose which apps or photos to sync via iCloud since I don't want all of them in my iPhone and iPad? I have all photos & apps in my iMac but only sync manually some of them to my iPad and to my iPhone. Can I still do this with iCloud?
Calendars, emails, contacts, are fine since files are small. What I'm afraid of are the apps and photos.
Any reply will be appreciated.
Thanks.

With the exception of photo stream, iCloud doesn't sync your apps or photos between devices. You will continue to sync this content via iTunes in the same way as you do now.
Photo stream allows you to sync your most recent photos between all devices, you have the option to use photostream or not.

Cannot print from photos app on iPad

After update to iOS 8.1 iPad will not print from photo app to air print printer. Tried turning both on and off but nothing works. Can print from Safari. When printing from photos app message comes up printer needs paper which it does not. Anyone else?

Hello,
Thank you for your help. Unfortunately, when trying this I do not have Usage as an option under the Settings/General tab.
Also, I have an original Ipad, which doesn't have a camera.

How can i change an ipad2 video to a still photo?

Hos can I change a ipad video to a still photo?

If they are videos that you've taken with the iPad then there are some apps that claim to be able to do it e.g Video 2 Photo appear to have decent reviews/ratings.

Photos app vs. iPhoto App IOS

On my iPhone and iPad/iPad mini, I have both "Photos" app (a kind of pink/orange starburst icon) and iPhoto for IOS. I have two questions a search didn't turn up answers for:
1) Do I need both these apps? They both display my photos in similar ways (photos/albums). I think Photos came with my devices and I think I downloaded iPhoto from the App Store.
2) Are they drawing on the same database of photos (presumably my Mac iPhotos and PhotoStream in iCloud) meaning the photos are not taking up doublespace?
I'd like a little space back on my devices and deleting one of these apps (if they aren't "sharing" photos) is a good way I think. I use Instagram to edit IOS photots - not either of these apps.
Thanks in advance!
YvonneinSonoma

The short answer:
Yes, you need both apps - or may want to have both.
And both are showing you the same photos, but in different ways, and they are just offering differnet views, the photos will not be duplicated.
See the iPhoto Help: http://help.apple.com/iphoto/iphone/2.0/?handbuch#blnka7d353af
All of the photos and video clips in the Photos app on your device automatically appear in iPhoto. You can also import photos into iPhoto from other devices and computers, other apps on the same device, or a digital camera (if you're using iPad)
iPhoto is showing you all photos stored on your iPhone in one place, and you can organize and edit the photos in a more elaborate way than with the Photos app by adding tags and brushing in effects. You can craete Journals andphoto books, and publish slideshows, and share photos to iTunes.
The Photos.app mamages the Camera Roll and is the central sharing place between differnet apps on your iPhone. Also, the Photos.app is the only app that can delete from the Camera roll.
You cannot delete the Photos.app - it comes with with the system software on your iPhoto. You could delete iPhoto, but the app does not need much space. Transfer your photos to your computer and delete the photos that you do not like.

IPhoto and old photo app

I downloaded IPhoto and I also have the old photo app on the Iphone 5c. I now have 2 sets of photos because I can't delete the old photo app. Is there another solution other than deleting IPhoto and just using the old photo app?

I now have 2 sets of photos because I can't delete the old photo app.
You need both apps - the Photos.app and iPhoto.app; they work together.
Installing iPhoto has not duplicated your photos. iPhoto is only showing you all photos on your iPhone, i.e. in the Photos.app and lets you edit and organize them. But iPhoto will not copy the photos; they are still in your Camera Roll and managed by the Photos.app.

Does Photos App load all images I store on my iMac for backup?

I want the app iPhoto, but is it loading the same collection of photos
again as the Photos App? It looks like the Photo App loads ALL photos
in my library, and iPhoto app loads what I sync in iTunes.
Or do I have that wrong? What images are stored on my iPad Air w the
Photos App, and what are stored by iTunes synced iPhoto?
I don't want double image files taking up too much space.

iPhoto will show you all photos that are already on your iPad's Photos.app and Camera Roll. It will not import them a second time, just group and show them in a different way:

All of the photos and video clips in the Photos app on your device automatically appear in iPhoto. You can also import photos into iPhoto from other devices and computers, other apps on the same device, or a digital camera (if you're using iPad).
Photos that you sync to your iPad using iTunes File Sharing will only be visible in iPhoto and not the Photos.app:
Import photos using iTunes file sharing
In iTunes, select your device and click Apps at the top of the window.
Below File Sharing, select iPhoto, and click Add.
In the window that appears, select the photos you want to import, and click Add.The photos are transferred to your device and appear in your iPhoto library the next time you open iPhoto. Photos transferred to iPhoto using file sharing appear only in the iPhoto library, not in the Photos app.

IPhoto & Photo app

Installed iPhoto app for my iPhone (newest OS). Are photos actually on disk in two places: Photo app & also iPhoto? Or do the two apps simply offer the interface to the same basic photos.

iPhoto does not duplicate the photos - it offers a different view of the photos stored elsewhere.

Using the new Photos app on multiple devices - confusion!

I find the recent way ios/Photos handles photos quite confusing. I am not too concerned about not having a Camera Roll, but seeing how not having this creates strange behavior when editing/deleting photos, I can see how the Camera Roll is definitely necessary or the whole thing needs revamped to handle things better.
Here's my set up:
iMac with iPhoto
iPhone 5s with the new Photos app
iPad Mini with the new Photos app
The one things I DO like is that whenever I take a photo (or upload in the case of my iMac), the photo is duplicated across all devices. That means I could take a photo on my iPhone and then edit it on my iPad Mini which has a bigger screen. (Well, so I thought..but read below.) Yes, you could do this with Photo Stream, but having all photos in one place is a bit easier to remember and find. I also like that when I delete the photo on the device that I took it on, all photos on the other two devices are also deleted. Easy. Thanks.
But that is where the ease of use ends.
If I delete the photo on any other two devices (i.e. the devices that I did NOT take the photo on), it only deletes on the devices which I didn't take the photo on. In other words, it leaves the photo on the device which I originally took the photo on.
To add to the confusion... if I edit the original photo, the edits do not get duplicated to the other devices! I see the original photo on the devices with which I did NOT take the photo but the edited one is on the original device I took it on.
Let's add even MORE confusion....if I want to edit the photo on a device it was not taken on, I then get a notice that it has to be Duplicated before I can edit it. Well, okay, I do that and then edit it. However, I now have the original showing up twice on the device it was originally taken on...the original photo and the now duplicated photo--it's the EXACT same photo since no edits get carried over from the other device.
I believe all of this is because of what happened when ios 9 combined the functions of the Camera Roll and Photo Stream together. It exhibits both behaviors but since you cannot be sure which photo was taken on which device, you have less understanding what will happen when you try to delete a photo or edit it.
Here's the key headache....What happens if I want to make sure a photo is deleted from ALL my devices and I don't remember which device I took the photo on? I will have to check every device just to be sure! I can't even open up iPhoto on my Mac and delete it from the Photo Stream album because it will remain on the original device. So, I have to check all devices and also iPhoto on my Mac for good measure in case I actually uploaded a photo there--which I do since I am scanning in old photos.
Key headache #2...you end up with duplicates of the photo if you edit the photo on any device on which it was not taken on. You also get different versions of the photo. You end up not knowing which photo was the original. To be sure to have all edited photos eventually on you iMac, you'll need to sync all devices physically to iPhoto.
Who has time to track all this?
What should happen is this...all of the photos, including their edits, should sync exactly on all devices. My Recently Added should look exactly the same across all devices and carry over any edits...now that is what I would call Continuity and Handoff! But as it stands, we don't have anything close to this...is more like Pandemonium and MixUp!
This is really a mess and way too confusing to keep track of. I can only hope this get resolved when Photos on the Mac is released.

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

Save frame to photos in photos.app

When you view a video in the new photos.app, on the drop down menu from the little cog there is an option that says "export frame to photos"
Does this work for anyone? Where does the frame go?

The Photos.app stores the preference settings in a file in your hidden User Library. If this file has become corrupted, you can see all kinds of problems with the graphical user interface - missing menu items, etc.
To remove this file, do the following.
Quit Photos, if it is running.
Reveal your user library and delete this folder: ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Photos/
To reveal the hidden User Library:
Bring the Finder forward by clicking on the Desktop or the Finder icon in the Dock.
Select your user/home folder (with the house icon in the Finder sidebar)
With that Finder window as the front window, press the key combination ⌘J to bring up the View options.
In the View options panel enable ’Show Library Folder’. That will make your user library folder visible in your Home folder.
Open your Home folder, then the Library folder, then Containers.
Move the complete folder com.apple.Photos to your desktop. Move the entire folder, not just the contents.
Now restart the Mac and try again. If all is well, delete the folder from the Desktop.
Be aware, that removing the Preferences will reset all preferences you set using the Preferences panel in Photos. You will have to set them again. Also, Photos will not remember the location of your Photos library. If the library is not in the default location in your Pictures folder, you have to open it directly by double clicking it.
