IPod Player changing to 'another view' is annoying.

I find it particularly annoying to find that while playing music through the iPod feature of my iPhone that I find myself looking at a screen with one main album cover and multiple album covers in a 3D setting in the background.
The fact that this 'mode' or 'view' has VERY limited options makes it reasonably difficult to navigate my music listening options.
The PAUSE button is SO small, and tucked away - I'm not sure what MOST people do about protecting their ever of fragile iPhone, but I keep mine in a Belkin leather case. While this case is relatively flat, it still makes hitting the pause button a touch on the difficult side if someone feels the need to stop the music in somewhat of hurry. IF this view mode is going to be default it should include additional controls such as the previous and next song buttons - of course all of which needs to be bigger and in a better location on the screen.
I think that IF we were given the option to choose a default play screen we could all have our iPhones/iPods functioning as each of us would like them to.
If I had my choice of 'view mode' I would set it to the table view of the song titles with the times displayed to the right.
The only way to 'really' navigate the iPod feature and get it to display the necessary controls is to exit out of the iPod, back to the main applications screen... and enter back into the iPod... this seems a little extraneous.
PS - IF someone who has some say so in the engineering of the iPhone / iPod products does read this... they are rather brittle devices. I'm not one for dropping my electronics as I'm sure anyone else would agree... but it does happen... and even from a 2 - 3 foot distance... and covered with a leather carrying case... I have found my volume controls to be ineffective at times... not to mention the laquer chipping... fortunately i have only dropped it once...

Send your comments here as Apple won't read your post as its not a Technical Support issue, but a 'wouldn't it be nice for me' comment.

However unless your suggestion increases sales for them, it will probably not happen IMO - they already have a pretty good marketing function

Why does my iPod not change to Landscape view

My iPod Touch will not display in the landscape mode in most applications. When displaying photos it will switch to the Landscape mode, but will not in Calendar, Notes, and other apps. Is there a setting I have set improperly?

What are these other apps? Because for some applications, landscape view is not possible, like calender.

Quicktime Player opens all past viewed videos

As I opened my first video in Quicktime it played fine, then I closed Quicktime Player and opened another video. At that point the new and old videos opened. The more videos I viewed the more that opened. I cannot close individual windows I must close Quicktime to close all windows. I can no longer just open one video.

Here are the Terminal commands:
to disable Resume in Preview and QuickTime Player X:
defaults write com.apple.Preview NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false
defaults write com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false
Quit the apps before you run the commands. Again, swap "true" for "false" to reverse your change.

How to refer one view from another view?

Hi,
I have 2 views in my Adobe Flash Builder mobile app. I need to refer the first view in my second view.
How to refer one view from another view? Or how to create a reference to a view wherever needed?

I don't need any data from my first view. In a certain flow, I need to make my first view to be invisible.
for eg., My First view is in portrait mode. I change the device to Landscape. In the landscape mode, I want to show a completely different view (second view).
In this case, what happens is, I see my first view in Landscape mode for a second. Then the second view appears. When I change to Landscape mode, only the second view should be seen. I need to make my first view to be completely invisible in the OnOrientationChanging event of
StageOrientationEvent
As stage object and StageOrientationEvent works at application level, I need to know how to refer my first view object in the application level.
private function onOrientationChanging(soe:StageOrientationEvent):void
MyFirstView.Visible = False; ====> don't know how to refer MyFirstView here
Is my question clear now?

Call method with an argument from another view controller

I have a UIViewController MainViewController that brings up a modal view that is of the class AddPlayerViewController. When the user clicks 'Save' in the modal view I need to pass the Player data (which is a Player class) from the modal view to the MainViewController in addition to triggering a method in the MainViewController. What's the best way to accomplish this? I'm new to cocoa and have only tried using delegates and some ugly hacks to no avail.
Thanks for the help.

If I understand correctly, you have:
1. A model object, Player.
2. A top view controller, MainViewController.
3. Another view controller, AddPlayerViewController, which MainViewController displays modally.
I'm guessing that AddPlayerViewController creates a new Player object and lets the user set its values, and you need a way to get that new Player into MainViewController once they're done.
So, here's what I'd do:
1. Create an AddPlayerViewControllerDelegate protocol. It should declare two methods, "- (void)addPlayerViewController:(AddPlayerViewContrller*)controller didAddPlayer:(Player*)newPlayer" and "- (void)addPlayerViewControllerNotAddingPlayer:(AddPlayerViewController*)controll er".
2. Add an attribute of type "id <AddPlayerViewControllerDelegate>" called delegate to AddPlayerViewController. Also add a property with "@property (assign)" and "@synthesize".
3. Modify AddPlayerViewController so that if you click the "Save" button, addPlayerViewController:didAddPlayer: gets called, passing "self" and the new Player object as the two arguments. Also arrange for clicking the "Cancel" button to call addPlayerViewControllerNotAddingPlayer:.
4. Modify MainViewController to declare that it conforms to AddPlayerViewControllerDelegate. Implement those two methods (addPlayerViewControllerNotAddingPlayer: might be an empty method if you don't want to do anything).
5. When you create your AddPlayerViewController, set its delegate to your MainViewController.
If you need more detail, let me know what parts you need me to elaborate on.

Problems syncing, iTunes says iPod is synced to another PC

Hi,
As stated above I'm having problems syncing my iPod touch 5G. It's been a few months since I synced and backed up to my PC but when I connected the iPod to iTunes yesterday, after doing an initial sync, it warned me that the iPod was synced to another computer and that I would have to delete everything in order to sync with this computer (which I've been using for 18 months now with no previous problems when connecting to iTunes; my old PC no longer works so that isn't an option). I noticed after this happened that Music, Photos, and Books were not set to sync, but they had been previously, and I haven't changed anything other than update iTunes to v.11.4, since last backing up a few months ago. I also updated the iPod to v.7.1.2 yesterday too, so could this have any bearing on the problem?
Also I have 9 books which were purchased on the iPod from the iBook store, these are not yet showing in iTunes, and there is no option to Transfer Purchases from iPod to iTunes. If I try to turn sync on in the Books tab, I get the same message as above.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received, Thanks!

From that message it appears you did not restore from backup on this computer/iTunes library.
I just updated/restored my two iOS 7/8 devices that were previously synced to my old computer and they are fine. I had to agree with the option to make this the syncing computer.
With regard to the Backup I selected this option from File/Devices in iTunes, and then restored from that backup, having already synced a few times with this iTunes library, or so I thought!
Are you saying I have to allow all files to be removed in order to re-sync with this computer? I'm happy to do this but worried I'll lose my app data. I'm away for a few days now, so won't be able to sort this until the weekend, many thanks for your replies, they've been a great help!

My iPod is 'Synchronized' to another PC ?

I have an iPod classic and one PC on XP Pro. I recently was forced to upgrade my iTunes to v9 after a system crash and now when i connect my iPod, i keep getting the message that my iPod is synchronized to another PC.
If i try to make changes to my library it threatens to erase all my stuff from my iPod and synchronize with this version of iTunes.
Since i lost my library and it is now empty i would lose everything from the iPod.
I was considering getting my wife an iPod but since we only have 1 PC and iTunes will only let you use 1 iPod then i'm not so sure.
1).How can i sort the problem out?.
2).Why can't iTunes allow you to use more than one iPod?.
3).Why do i not get any replies from the technical team and have to ask other users for help?.
4).Is there a better alternative to iTunes?.

Hello there,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!

1).How can i sort the problem out?.
First of all, is the music that currently resides on your iPod in your iTunes library as well still, or does it only reside on your iPod? If the music is still only located on your iPod, then about the only solution is to copy all of it to your computer. For different methods and steps on how to accomplish this, see this older post of mine.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10615314#10615314
2).Why can't iTunes allow you to use more than one iPod?.
You can and you should be able to. There is no limit to the number of iPods you can have synced with one computer or iTunes library. You were asked to erase your iPod and start fresh because your iPod is still associating itself with your old library that I am guessing was lost during your system crash.
3).Why do i not get any replies from the technical team and have to ask other users for help?.
Not exactly sure what to say on this one, but at least you can give and receive free help and support in this user to user forum!
4).Is there a better alternative to iTunes?
Click [here|http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/07/08/10-alternatives-to-itunes-for-managi ng-your-ipod> for alternatives.
Keep in mind that you will not be able to upgrade your iPod's firmware or restore it if you run into any issues while syncing it with an alternative program.
Hope this helps.

MM - Material master data - move standard field to another view

Hi everyone,
ÉCC 6.0 - release 7.0.
I've been adding many custom fields in Material master data MM01/02/03. Now I got a problem because we have to use a standard field in another view.
The field MARA-HERKL is set up to 'SV'(attribute V_130F-PSTAT):
Warehouse management = S
Sales = V
I want to add 'K - Basic data' in this field's attribute at OSMR Tcode , but this attribute is disactivated. I can not change this value.
I've check this note 306966 that mention: You cannot create new entries and delete entries in client 000. This client contains only the entries delivered by SAP which are used for distinguishing customer-specific fields and SAP standard during the maintenance of the other clients.
Is there any problem whether I delete this field and afterwards create it with the new values?
I'm not in client 000. So, I want to just make sure I will do a legal change.
thank you in advance,
Alexandre

HOW TO GET THE SELECTED VALUE IN A ROW FROM ONE VIEW TO ANOTHER VIEW?

hi all,
I have a small issue.
i have created two views.In the table of the first view i'm selecting a row and pressing the button it will move to next view.
i am adding some fields manually in the table of the second view and pressing the save button.Here all the values should get updated corresponding to the field which i have selected in the first view.
I want to know how to get the particular field in the selected row from one view to another view.
Kindly help me.

Hi,
Any data sharing accross views can be achiveved by defining CONTEXT data in COMPONENT CONTROLLER and mapping it to the CONTEXT of all the views. Follow the below steps.
1. Define a CONTEXT NODE in component controller
2. Define same CONTEXT NODE in all the views where this has to be accessed & changed.
3. Go to CONTEXT NODE of each view, right click on the node and choose DEFINE MAPPING.
This is how you map CONTEXT NODE and same can be accessed/changed from any VIEW or even from COMPONENT CONTROLLER. Any change happens at one VIEW will be automatically available in others.
Check the below link for more info regarding same.

Change Maintain Organization Views configurations in IMG

Hi,
We want to use the same organization view for all GRC components. Therefore I want to change the settings in the IMG Node u2018Governance, Risk and Complianceu2019 u2013 u2018Shared Master Data Settingsu2019 u2013 u2018Maintain Organization Viewsu2019 u2013 u2018Maintain Organization Views configurationsu2019. Currently the tabe is filled as follows:
002 / GRC-AC / Standard Hierarchy / Standard Hierarchy / Default view
002 / GRC-PC / Standard Hierarchy / Standard Hierarchy / Default view
003 / GRC-RM / Risk Hierarchy / Risk Hierarchy / Default view
I have recently created these entries myself since the original table was empty (I copied these settings from another environment). This results in all my RM risks currently connected to organizations from the standard hierarchy. However I cannot change them, since the Risk Hierarchy does not contain anything.
I would like to allign all three components and configure the table as follows:
002 / GRC-AC / Standard Hierarchy / Standard Hierarchy / Default view
002 / GRC-PC / Standard Hierarchy / Standard Hierarchy / Default view
002 / GRC-RM / Standard Hierarchy / Standard Hierarchy / Default view
However when I try to delete the row with '003' and create the italic one, GRC won´t allow me to save it, since I cannot change the default view for application component Risk Management.
Does anyone have a suggestion how to solve this problem?
Thanks a lot,
Joris

Hi Roberto,
To solve the problem, please follow the following steps (in the exact order):
- Go to IMG node "Activate Applicactions in Client"
- Disable the applications where you want to change the organization view
- Go to IMG node "Maintain Organization Views"
- Adjust the view as required (it is now possible to change the default view for the disabled components)
- Go back to the IMG Node "Activate Applications in Client"
- Enable the applications again
- Check the workflow post installation again (there were some problems at my instance, although I´m not sure whether that has been caused by these steps).
Please let me know if this solves the problem.

I keep getting this error "This document was changed in another application" but I am not opening this doc in another application

Pages 5.2
OSX 10.9.2
I have been getting this error (on keynote as well)
"This document was changed in another application. To work on that version, click Revert. Changes you made here will be saved as a version on your Mac. Tip: If you’re using an online storage service, avoid opening the same document on multiple computers at once"
I am only working on this doc on my MacBook Pro (Ipad is OFF),
not running pages on my phone
not logged into iCloud in safari
document saved to my hard drive (not iCloud or dropbox)

Getting the same message. Started with the latest update a few days ago. So I guess it's a glitch in the current version and hope Apple will solve that soon by issuing another update which fixes that. It's really annoying and makes it quite impossible to use the application at all.
Meanwhile open Pages, go to Pages, Provide Pages Feedback, choose Feedback Type: Bug Report and explain the problem in the Comments box.
http://www.apple.com/feedback/pages.html
I think that's all you can do for now. But it's important for people to report the problem since I don't know how closely Apple is monitoring these Forums.

How to post back to another view or skip restore view phase?

Hi, I have a small application with a template used by every page. In this template there is a button to logout as shown below
<h:form id="logoutForm" prependId="false">
<h:commandButton id="logoutButton" action="#{loginBean.logout}" value="logout"/>
</h:form>It works, but has the undesirable side effect of first triggering processing included in the constructor of other backing beans used in the page. This is because JSF first restore view of the page, and in doing that it instantiates every bean used in the view. Then after restoring the view it calls the method logout in the loginBean.
I wanted a way to change the action of that logoutForm, but it seems it is impossible in JSF.
Is there anything I can do to post back to another view, skipping unecessary processing that occurs in the restore view phase of the view that includes the template with the logout form?
Thanks

JSF is a stateful API - the stateful part is the building of the component tree server side. To be able to do this, the backing beans need to be invoked.
So no, it is not possible to do this and keep JSF in the loop; if you really must bypass the creation of the beans, make sure the JSF servlet isn't invoked (for example, use a plain old servlet).

DirectX Cover Flow - song list like in iPod player

Is there a possibility to view the song list of an album within Windows iTunes' cover flow animation? Just like it is possible with the iPod player when "touching" the album itself or the 'i' at the bottom right. So that it looks just like this:

Do you need the SIM card when changing to another iphone

Do you need the SIM card when changing to another iphone

You posted in the iPod Shuffle forum; it might be best to post in the iPad forum, as I was a bit confused at first. Anyway,
It doesn't need a SIM to download apps if you have Wi-Fi. Can you describe this box a little more, or better yet, screenshot it?
Taking a Screenshot:
Quickly press then release the home and power buttons at the same time.
Get the photo on your computer and upload it here.
If you don't want to do this, can you describe it a little more? When you say "black box," I'm guessing it's an outlined box that appears around any item that you tap on. Is this correct? If so, it sounds like VoiceOver was enabled. See:
Turning VoiceOver On or Off

Stop quicktime player as default to view youtube video

Hi,
My Mac recently updated and whenever I open the video from youtube, the quicktime player will automaticly run the video and say the file not found.
How to unselect quicktime player as default to view youtube video?
Thanks
Trang

If you are opening a Youtube video from your desktop do the following:
Highlight your file>File>Get Info>
In the Get Info window, scroll down to "Open with:"
Select the application you want to open the file with.
Click the "Change All..." button if you want to "Use this application to open all documents like this.”
==========================
Short cut:
Control mouse click (right mouse click if available), Open With...-> Other
Pick an app you want to open the video, and make sure to check Always Open With before hitting Open.
Thanks to a brody for the above short cut.
=============
If you are viewing the video on YouTube's site, then the changes can be done through your browser Preferences to select a default video viewer. However, you have not mentioned which browser you are using to view videos.
