IPhone 4S: Scrubber video controls won't appear during playback

I've had my 4S for about 2 weeks.  A few days ago, I started having an issue where the video scrubber (play/pause/rev/ff control bar) won't appear on the screen while a video is playing.  I touch the screen multiple times in different areas of the screen; sometimes the controls will appear after 10-15 tries; other times, it won't ever come up, and I'll have to press the home button or sleep/power button before anything will happen.  This only happens while watching a video (podcast, home movie, transferred DVD rip, etc.)  All other apps work as advertised, regarding screen response.
At the beginning, when this would occur, I'd touch the screen again and again with one finger, then the scrubber would re-appear, but when the video had been finished, I'd return to the home screen and all would be ridiculously magnified to the point that one icon would take up the majority of the screen, and I'd have a **** of a time to get to a slider control or anything until I'd reset power, then all would be normal again.  I think I've fixed that issue by disabling the screen magnification accessibility feature on my iPhone...the iPhone would think that I was touching the screen with three fingers when trying to get the video scrubber bar to appear during video playback, even though I was only using one finger.
Still having the video playback/scrubber bar issue though.  Searched the forum and found this issue related to an iPad, but couldn't find any mention of it with an iPhone.  Any comments/suggestions?

I've reset it numerous times (simultaneously pressing power and home buttons until rebooted) to no avail.  Everything works perfectly on this phone, touchscreen-wise, except when viewing videos.  I guess I'll just press the power button to pause a movie until this glitch is fixed.

  • Video losing sync with audio during playback

    I am having a unique issue with FCP 6.0.6.
    We are using this version to log and capture a switched video feed with audio
    through a Black Magic DeckLink HD Extreme 3  PCI card.  Capture works fine. 
    But during playback the next day, the video seems to drop a frame, or lose sync
    (you can see it visually) then continues playing.  The result is the video is now
    out of sync with the audio.
    We do a weekly 3 camera shoot which is webcast, and then later uploaded to youtube.
    We have been running this setup for a number of years without issue, but this has started
    becoming an issue the last 3 weeks in a row with no change to our setup.
    The webcast does not experience this, which makes me think there is a sync issue
    between my switcher and my FCP machine.
    Any thoughts or ideas?

    3GHz Quad Core Intel

    OS 10.6.8

    Are you ABSOLUTELY sure there was NO change? (All sorts of problems can occur if you haven't turned off automatic updates.)
    In any case, you might want to run Preference Manager from Digital Rebellion (free) to delete the FCP prefs. Sometimes they get corrupted and can cause some funky behaviors.
    Otherwise, sounds like a question for Blackmagic technical support.

  • I have iMessage on iPad and iPhone but text messages still won't appear on my iPad? I thought we were supposed to get text notifications on both devices?

    Does anyone have the same problem? I want to get text notifications on my iPad like I do my iPhone but I do not. I have both iMessages turned on and have tried restarting both apps and resyncing to my computer

    To get them on your iPad the sender will have to direct the message to your Apple ID and not your phone number.

  • IPhone charges over USB but won't appear in iTunes?

    My iPhone 3GS used to sync with iTunes without problems (well, mostly) but ever since I dropped it down a flight of stairs it no longer shows up in the sidebar at all. However, it still charges (although more slowly than before, it seems).
    I'm just wondering if there's something I can do to get it to pop up in iTunes (just so I can make a backup as I already have a new iPhone) or does this mean that I'm SOL because something's seriously broken (even though it still charges)?

    I have an iPhone4 that has been dropped many times, cracked, chipped, etc. Try leaving your phone and USB unplugged for a few minutes. This happened to me, but I found it was beacuse I had the USB plugged in the port that I typically don't use on my laptop. Maybe you can try different ports as well. Hope this helps.

  • Video on Exported Movie Freezes During Playback, Audio Continues

    This is a reoccurring problem I've found in some of my exported movies. After successfully exporting a project (in full quality), I view the movie in QuickTime player, where, somewhere in the middle of the movie the visual freezes and stays frozen on the same frame for the remainder of the movie. The audio however doesn't skip a beat and continues normally. The playhead in the QuickTime player continues without interruption as well. The location (or frame) where the movie freezes is always the same every time the movie is played. If you attempt to skip over the freeze spot by clicking later in the timeline, you'll successfully move the playhead forward to where you want but the visual is still frozen on that frame and the audio is fine as well. This suggests to me iMovie rendered the movie to a certain point and then, for some reason, rendered a still frame for the remaining duration.
    The movie plays normally in the playback/preview within the iMovie app. itself.
    The only clue I have is it seems to have this problem after a slow or fast motion effect is used. The frozen frame is generally the last frame in the clip that has a slow motion effect. If I go into the project and move the end of the clip forward to erase the troublesome frame, export, and view, the movie is completely normal until it hits another special effected clip.
    This is truly a hassle and the poor solution I've found to fixing it ruins the synching I've put a lot of work into.
    Help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

    I have had the same problem on multiple movies. I'm going to submit your post to apple feedback & I suggest you do the same. Have you found any solution? http://www.apple.com/feedback/imovie.html
    I think the problem is related to running out of memory/virtual memory, so on another post I saw rebooting & shutting down other programs before rendering suggested.
    Exporting in a smaller size worked for me, but I didn't create this movie to watch in postage stamp size. I'm a new mac user - what happened to apple's promise of things "just working"?

  • Keynote 6.2.2: No video controls

    I don't have any video controls.  I have "Show playback controls when pointer is over a movie" checked but it doesn't do anything in preview or in play mode.
    There is a go button which toggles on and off which is visible when the video is selected and that's it. It makes it difficult to trim the clip with no way to see the time with sound on. If it just tracked in the Format - Movie dialogue it would be helpful.
    Please advise.
    Thank you

    I have "Show playback controls when pointer is over a movie" checked but it doesn't do anything in preview or in play mode.
    The movie must be playing and the mouse moved across the video before the playback control will be seen.
    It makes it difficult to trim the clip with no way to see the time with sound on.
    To trim a clip, select the clip on the slide:   Inspector > Document > Movie > Edit Movie, then adjust the trim in and out points using the slider. The in and out points in the video are seen on the slide.

  • Video won't move in playback

    I'm using Adobe Premiere CS4 and new to it, but based on what I remembered from my Final Cut Pro days, I was able to get my video imported and edited like I want. Two problems, which are likely for the same reason, although I don't know what that is. My video won't play on the viewing screen in Premiere, which wasn't a problem while I was editing this particular video. But it also won't play during playback after exporting the video and watching it in any viewing software. It is stuck on the first frame of the video, but the sound plays perfectly fine. I tried a few different exporting formats, and completely replaced the video portion with a new import. Nothing has changed yet, and I'm not finding anything in the help search engine that's remotely helpful. Anyone have some suggestions of what this might be caused by and/or some things I could try to fix it? Any assistance is much appreciated.

    Welcome to the forum.
    Can you give us the full specs. of the Source Files, and also the Sequence Preset?
    Then, the settings for your Export file.
    There is likely something there.
    Thanks, and good luck,

  • Encore to flash website without play-control during playback

    How do I disable the menu which appears during playback?
    thanks

    >If you put the video to a blank menu as a motion menu background then Encore won't export the play controls to that part!
    Nice workaround!
    Note that if the video is too long and motion menus exceed 1GB (in MPEG-2 for DVD format), Encore may throw an error at build time.
    But perhaps not, if only building to Flash?

    thx for the reply. I tried trashing the preferences and seem to have lost the latest version of my movie as well.
    I agree that corrupt files are to blame. I will trash the render files and see if that works.
    trashing the render files from today(when the problem showed up) did not seem to help.
    was nervous to trash all

  • Downloaded Tv Series won't appear on iPhone

    Can someone help,please !! I gave downloaded a complete Fireman Sam series from iTunes but it won't  appear in the videos / tv series section on iPhone. If I go to iTunes it shows it as being downloaded and I can watch it but obviously only when u get on line - does deny one know what I can do to help sort it - thanks.

    If it's successfully downloaded then it should be in the TV Shows part of the Videos app on your phone - if it doesn't show there then can you find them via the phone's search field (pull down the centre of the homescreen), or does it show in Settings > General > Usage > Videos as being on your phone ?

    My iPhone 5 won't appear in my iPhoto library so that I can import my pictures from my phone.

    Connect your iPhone to your Mac.
    In iTunes, under devices select your iPhone.
    On the main window it shows a summary of your iPhone. Along the top of the main window are tabs. Select Photos.
    The main window changes. Make sure Sync Photos with iPhoto is checked.
    In the bottom right there is an 'Apply' button. click that and your photos should now sync with iPhoto.
