IPhone Playlists Now Loop Back to First Entry
Hi,
Don't know if this is a new "feature" or problem. So I thought I would check here first.
When I select the first entry in a Playlist, that entry and all others play in sequence just fine. When the last entry plays, the Playlist loops back and starts to play the first entry again. Prior to the 2.0 software upgrade, when the last entry was finished playing, the playlist would just end.
Any one else run into this?
When a song is playing, tap the artwork (in portrait mode). You will get a progress bar. The "racetrack" symbol on the left is the repeat control. White is mo repeat. Blue is repeat all. Blue with a number 1 is repeat one.

I changed from one iPhone to another and backed the first one up to the icloud. I have restored the content to my new iphone but cannot download the photos. Any advise will be greatly appreciated
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photos and some other items are added back after the restore has completed, you may need to wait a while. -
ResultSet loop back to first record
I have an Access table : products
I have a total of 7 products. When I use rs.next(), it will scroll for each record until the last record.
How do I make it go back to the first record after it hit the last record ?
I hv tried rs.first() and rs.last(0 method, but it doesn't work and give me TYPE FORWARD kind of error, further clarify with some expert, they said it is because my cursor state is the Forward Type only ... so cannot loop back....
Then I also use the cn.createConnection(ResultSet.InSensitive Result ... kind of stuff ... all cannot work as Access seems like cannot go backward ...
Any other good suggestion ?1. Use this, st=con.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE,ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);
Or,
2. Store your result set in a temporary array and scroll thru this array for subsequent repetitive iterations.

Need tab order to loop back to first field.
Using Adobe Pro, would like the form to loop back to the first tab after tabbing off of the last field. Currently it goes to a couple text boxes that I added to the form that are not part of the fillable text fields.
That's the way it is designed to work. Your options are to set the text boxes to read-only and they won't get the focus with Acrobat/Reader 11 and above, or flatten them so they are converted to regular page contents. You can use the following free JavaScript-based tool to do this: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

I have recently updated the iTunes in order to update both my iPhone and iPad to ISO5.0. unfortunately, after the updated, my iPhone is no longer playing any music. whenever i go to play music on my iPhone it just reverts back to the playlist or it keeps running through song to song. But still, no music is on.
I tried to re-sync the music library, error mesage prop up,
"The iPhone 'xfdsarw' could not be synced because the sync session failed to start"
I delete the iTunes and download it again. Then, I restore my iPhone to the version before ISO 5.0. After, I do the updated again. However, the problem still exists. What should I do? Please advise. I cant believe that iPhone cannot play iTunes!!!!
How come, apple acts like Microsoft? I saw this problem had existed in the developer stages back to the past summer. Then, you guys didnt fix it before the release of ISO 5.0. Hopeless. As being a life-long apple fan, I am so disappointed! Wordless ....My music can be played in my iMac and iPad itunes, but not my iPhone4.
i did what you have suggested to unsync the music and then re-sync again. should i try to cancel all the music in the library and then restore them again. can it work? i dont want to bet coz reloading so much music is very trouble. -
my iphone is synced and backed up with another computer which is now broken...i have synced it with my new computer but it hasnt transfered anything over to itunes and when i try to add anything to my iphone it says all data will be erased and replaced with the current itunes? i dont want to lose all my apps and music.... i dont know how to go around this problem? i want to back it all up and sync it properly to my new computer so that is now my main computer , so i can add ring tones and music etc with out it erasing everything ive got. any answers would be great and muchly appreciated. thanks, im not sure what operating system my iphone has either.....
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything on the new one.
It sounds like you have failed to do this, which is not good at all.
You will have to transfer your itunes purchases from your iphone. Authorize your computer for your itunes account
About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization
Open itunes, plug in iphone, do NOT sync, click File>Transfer Purchases
When you do sync you will lose your pics ( photo library - synced from your old computer), your itunes content ( music, apps, videos,etc) , your contacts and your calendars. So do NOT sync yet. This is why a backup copy is so important.
Enter one unique contact and calendar entry on your computer.
When you first sync, you should get the option to merger the data. Choose it.
If you want your pics, then you will need to e-mail them to yourself before you sync. They will not be of the original quality as they are reduced when synced to iphone.
When all is as goos as it can be, then backup your computer, and always maintain the backup. -
IPhone: Using embedded QT movies that either Loop or Loop Back and Forth
Hi to everyone,
I'm working on a very simple iPhone app:
it has several buttons that launch different QuickTime movies embedded in the application, that will either Loop or Loop Back and Forth.
The desired looping behaviour is already set within QuickTime itself (those settings are available in QuickTime's View menu).
So far it doesn't seem to work, as the iPhone's SDK doesn't seem to recognize these QuickTime settings of Loop or Loop Back and Forth.
I've been trying to find advanced documentation on the matter, with no luck.
Does anyone knows if it's possible to create an iPhone application that has embedded QuickTime movies that either Loop or Loop Back and Forth?
If it is possible to do so, can you please post some code (or links) explaining how to proceed?
If the feature is not currently supported, does anyone knows if it will eventually be supported by Apple (maybe in a future SDK revision)?
While I don't know the entire context the SDK engineering team has to contend with, it seems to me it should be rather simple for Apple's iPhone SDK to simply accept the settings already put in place inside a QuickTime movie.
Many thanks in advance for any feedback on this!Well, my programmers have come back to me and the news is not good.
The QTMovieLoopsAttribute is not supported in the SDK's QT Kit.
I'll now call it SDK's *QuickTime Kit Lite*, if you don't mind.
*QuickTime Kit Lite*, the key audio/video toolbox available for development of applications on the iPhone through the SDK, provides a single option:
a Play / Stop button.
The only other thing available (I think) is the option to hide the play/stop controller. That's it.
Apparently, there are several unofficial, private frameworks that give access to lower-level QuickTime functions and that may provide a way to actually loop videos, but chances are that an app using these unofficial frameworks would get rejected by Apple upon submission for the store.
I'm still waiting for more info and the final word from my programmers, but from the looks of it, this is going to be a show-stopper shortcoming of QT Kit Lite, as far as my project is concerned.
I'm probably going to have to fold my project and wait (hope) for an eventual upgrade to the SDK's QT Kit.
By the way, does anyone knows if there is a way to communicate with Apple and request new features for inclusion in future revisions of the SDK?
Upgrading the QuickTime Kit librairies to include the video Loop and Loop Back and Forth Attributes would be my first (and only) request.
many thanks to all! -
How do I loop back from the first frame to the last frame?
Hi there,
I'm currently working on the framework for a product viewer.
I have:
a movie clip called 'viewer_mc' which contains the images take from different angles of the product. The actionscript generates a script on the last frame of this that returns it to frame 1.
a button instance called 'autoplay_btn' which plays through the movie clip from whatever the current frame is, and stops on frame 1.
a left and right button which serve to move the movie clip frame, to give the appearance that the product is rotating.
I have succeeded in getting it to:
have the movie clip play through once, return to frame 1 and stop.
have the buttons return functions when held down, that move the frame in the movie clip using nextFrame and prevFrame commands. The right button successfully loops round to frame 1 and continues functioning to give the appearance of continual rotation.
The last problem I am experiencing is getting the left button to act in the corresponding manner, going from the first frame to the last and continuing to function.
Here is my actionscript so far:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var lastFrame:Number = viewer_mc.totalFrames;
var thisFrame:Number = viewer_mc.currentFrame;
var backFrame:Number = viewer_mc.currentFrame-1;
1. This is the part that gets it to play through once before returning to the first frame. I think perhaps the problem I am experiencing is because of the 'viewer_mc.addFrameScript(lastFrame-1, toStart)' part i.e. although I'm holding the left button, its returning to this script and therefor getting bounced back immediately to the first frame. However, there is no flicker on the screen which you might expect if this were the case
Note - as this is a generic product viewer which I can use as a template I am using lastFrame etc. as opposed to typing the value in
function toStart (){
viewer_mc.gotoAndStop(1);
viewer_mc.addFrameScript(lastFrame-1, toStart);
2. This is the functionality for the autoplay_btn that will play through a rotation / return the viewer to the initial (frontal) view of the product (frame 1).
autoplay_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, autoplay);
function autoplay (ev:MouseEvent):void{
var startFrame:Number = viewer_mc.currentFrame;
viewer_mc.gotoAndPlay(startFrame);
3. This is the functionality of the right button, which when held, moves the movie clip to the next frame via the 'rotateRight' function based on the 'nextFrame' command. It loops back round to the first frame due to the 'viewer_mc.addFrameScript(lastFrame-1, toStart)' script generated on the last frame of the movie clip, as is desired.
right_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, rightDown);
function rightDown(e:Event){
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,stoprightDown); //listen for mouse up on the stage, in case the finger/mouse moved off of the button accidentally when they release.
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateRight); //while the mouse is down, run the tick function once every frame as per the project frame rate
function stoprightDown(e:Event):void {
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateRight); //stop running the tick function every frame now that the mouse is up
stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,stoprightDown); //remove the listener for mouse up
function rotateRight(e:Event):void {
viewer_mc.nextFrame();
4. This is the functionality of the left button, which when held, moves the movie clip to the prev frame via the 'rotateRight' function based on the 'prevFrame' command. And this is where the problem lies, as although it works for getting the movieclip back to frame 1, it does not loop round to the last frame and continue functioning, as is wanted.
left_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, leftDown);
function leftDown(e:Event){
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,stopleftDown); //listen for mouse up on the stage, in case the finger/mouse moved off of the button accidentally when they release.
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateLeft); //while the mouse is down, run the tick function once every frame as per the project frame rate
function stopleftDown(e:Event):void {
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateLeft); //stop running the tick function every frame now that the mouse is up
stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,stopleftDown); //remove the listener for mouse up
I'd imagine it is probably my logic for this part that is really letting me down - I can do a similar function in actionscript 2, but am trying to learn actionscript 3 just to move with the times as it were, and struggling a bit. Still this is only a few days in!
function rotateLeft(e:Event):void{
if(thisFrame==1){
gotoAndStop(viewer_mc.totalFrames-1);
} else{
viewer_mc.prevFrame();
Any help you can give me would be gratefully received. For an example of the effect I am trying to achieve with the autoplay button etc. I recommend:
http://www.fender.com/basses/precision-bass/american-standard-precision-bassThanks for getting back to me.
Here's the code without my comments / explanations:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
var lastFrame:Number = viewer_mc.totalFrames;
var thisFrame:Number = viewer_mc.currentFrame;
var backFrame:Number = viewer_mc.currentFrame-1;
function toStart (){
viewer_mc.gotoAndStop(1);
viewer_mc.addFrameScript(lastFrame-1, toStart);
//last image of viewer_mc = first image of viewer_mc
autoplay_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, autoplay);
function autoplay (ev:MouseEvent):void{
var startFrame:Number = viewer_mc.currentFrame;
viewer_mc.gotoAndPlay(startFrame);
right_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, rightDown);
function rightDown(e:Event){
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,stoprightDown); //listen for mouse up on the stage, in case the finger/mouse moved off of the button accidentally when they release.
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateRight); //while the mouse is down, run the tick function once every frame as per the project frame rate
function stoprightDown(e:Event):void {
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateRight); //stop running the tick function every frame now that the mouse is up
stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,stoprightDown); //remove the listener for mouse up
function rotateRight(e:Event):void {
viewer_mc.nextFrame();
left_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, leftDown);
function leftDown(e:Event){
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,stopleftDown); //listen for mouse up on the stage, in case the finger/mouse moved off of the button accidentally when they release.
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateLeft);//while the mouse is down, run the tick function once every frame as per the project frame rate
function stopleftDown(e:Event):void {
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateLeft); //stop running the tick function every frame now that the mouse is up
stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,stopleftDown); //remove the listener for mouse up
function rotateLeft(e:Event):void{
viewer_mc.prevFrame();
The definition of the rotateLeft function is where the problem lies I think - I've taken out my poor attempts at doing the logic from the previous post. If I were to write it out long-hand the statement I want to write is: 'If you get to frame 1 and function rotateLeft is called go to the end of the movie clip'.
The reason I have to use the viewer_mc.totalFrames-1 definition in the addFrameScript call is the addFrameScript function is 0 based i.e. if you want to call frame 1 of the movieclip you have to return a value of 0 in the addFrameScript (or such is my understanding of it anyway). As such, the last image in the movie clip will need to be the view obtained at 360 degree rotation, which is of course the same view as at 0 degree rotation. As a consequence, the last frame in the movie clip is superfluous for the user, but necessary for the overall effect to be achieved. And, in addition, to keep up the effect of a 360 degree view when the rotateLeft function is called it needs to skip that last frame to go to the lastFrame-1 (or totalframes-1), or in other words, the view of the image prior to completing the full 360 rotation.
the variables thisFrame and lastFrame are defined at the very top of the script. Like you said they might need to be defined or called on again elsewhere. -
How do I change my iCloud account information on my iPhone? I had to change my Apple ID and my iCloud ID on my PC but, I wasn't able to change it on my iPhone and now it won't back up.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID) -
I recently got the new iPhone 5c I used icloud to back everything up from my 4s to my new 5c. Now, I keep getting a pop up that says Continue Restoring? (This iPhone has not been backed uprecently because it has not finished being restored. Would you like to finish downloading any remaining purchases and media before backing up, or delete them along with any app date?)
I seleted to finish downloading because I didn't want to lose anything. It still will not finish downloading and I have tried this several times.
What do I need to do to that I can get my iphone to back up and so that I can install the new iOS?Hello there, Brandifoote24.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up an explanation of what you're error signifies:
iCloud: Understanding Backup alert messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4576
"This iPhone has not been backed up recently because it has not finished being restored. Would you like to finish downloading any remaining purchases and media before backing up, or delete them along with any app data?"
This message is displayed if your iOS device has been trying to complete a restore for more than three days. This can occur if your restore has been interrupted due to network connectivity issues or some other problem occurs.
Being that this is the case, you would want to go back to the article it seems you were referred to us from and try to restore from your icloud backup again:
iCloud: Troubleshooting restoring an iCloud backup
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4036
How do I restore an iCloud backup if my device is already set up for use?
You'll need to erase all data and settings from your device, so first confirm that you have an iCloud backup to restore:
Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage, then tap the name of your device to view a list of iCloud backups.
Check the date of the backup you want to restore, because you'll be restoring only what iCloud backed up on that date.
After confirming that an iCloud backup is available, follow these steps:
Connect your device to a power source and make sure that it is connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi.
Follow the instructions for restoring your iOS device from an iCloud backup, which include making sure that your device is using the latest version of iOS.
If the issue persists, then I would troubleshoot Wi-Fi using the following article:

Hi, can someone help please - my iPhone hasn't been backed up since early August, now I can't seem to get it to back up to iCloud. I have 9GB of space, I have left it plugged in etc for 11hrs, but keep getting the same message " iPhone backup could not be completed" -what dies that mean.?
Hi,
I was facing issues with both backup and FB integration after the iOs 6 upgrade. Before then I did not have any issues with the iCloud backup service, but after a few days, I noticed that it was continually stuck at the Estimating time for the backup and it never progressed.
As any good techie would, I tackled the most pressing issue first . . . FB integration of course.
I had read in a separate post about this solution so tried it . . .
I deleted the original FB app and hard booted the phone. I then went into settings and entered the data for FB integration. Seconds later, I received a text message to my phone - already listed and verified in FB with a 6 digit code to re-enter instead of my password. Seconds later I was verified and then prompted to download the FB app. All backup and integrated.
Then I went into the iCloud backup, turned it off . . . and deleted the last backup. I then re-enabled backup . . . and although I thought I was going to face the same issue, after a few minutes, it moved on from Estimating time . . . to actually backing up. It is now a small way through the backup and seems to estimate that it will take another two hours to complete.
A good nights work. Backup and integration all sewed up. Good luck.
Cheers

My iphone 5 is not backing up, it's connected to wifi, locked and plugged in. It was automatically backing up regularly until Oct 27, now it just sits in limbo. Now it won't work manually, nothing. Any suggestions out there?
Hi Omanaomi,
It sounds like you may be trying to back up your iPhone to iCloud. Try these methods to initiate the backup first:
iCloud: Back up your iOS device to iCloud
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12520
If you are still unable to back up your iPhone to iCloud, you should see an alert message, the meaning of which can be explained by this article:
iCloud: Understanding Backup alert messages - Apple Support

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

When I plugged my iphone into the computer for the first time i lost all my music and ringtones. Is there a way to get them back without buying them again, or will I have to buy them again.
Download the free app My Contacts Backup and use it to back up the contacts on your device now (it will back them up as an attachment to an email that you send to yourself). Then restore your device to your most recent backup to see if it will recover your contacts. If not, if necessary you can open the email and tap the attachment to re-import the contacts you have now back to your device.
If you need to restore to an iCloud backup this has to be done in the initial setup process, which requires you to first erase your device. If you have any more recent data on your device now that is not in the backup that you want to save you'll need to do that first. Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. You will then go through the setup screens on your device, and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below). Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish. -
Updated to ios 5 and itunes 10.5 for my iphone and now i lost all apps and songs that i had downloaded in the past. how do i get everything back?
in order to restore your songs and apps, you should just reconnect to itunes and sync your data. your phone ran a backup before it upgraded, and you can also do a restore. but the key is still to go to your itunes and sync back to your phone what you wanted there in the first place.

On my iPhone 4s, I sent a picture via email and asked to size it down. However, it seems now that the pic stored on my iphone is now forever the smaller size which is not suitable for printing. Is there any way to get the larger size back?
sure pretty simple. make a backup of your current settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
then import pics to computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
you may need to save pics to camera roll first
then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes
