Is there a way to play a video and disable the touch screen

I want to be able to play a video and disable the touch screen so that it will play uninterrupted (even if the screen is accidentally touched). Isn't there a "hold" button?

Press the Home button once real quick to put the iPod on Hold.

Is there a way to turn off your phone if the touch screen is not responding?

My screen won't respond to any touch commands and they say to power off the phone, but it will not allow me to swipe it to shut it down...

Check this out. It is exactly what you need.

Is there a way to play an mp4 file at the beginning of a published project only when the project is accessed from a specific site?

Is there a way to play an mp4 file at the beginning of a published project only when the project is accessed from a specific site?
A little background info. I use Captivate 7 and currently have over 100 projects that I maintain on a quarterly basis. I publish using the SWF format and upload the swf/htm files to a server where they are then accessed from a few locations (within our online documentation, in our software product, on two different websites). Many of the projects are linked so some will be viewed as a series and others viewed as a standalone video. Each video uses the same template and includes an intro and end slide. Now my organization wants to implement a new intro to all videos (those I publish and those from several groups across the organization). My current intros provide overview material for the specific video so the new intro, which is an animation with audio in mp4 format, would need to be placed at the start of each project. The issue is, the intro adds 9 seconds to every video and in many cases doesn’t add any value (say, if a user accesses the video from within our product or views the videos as a series). I’ve talked it over with my boss and we want to try to add the intro only to videos accessed from site X, not any other location. So now to my question. Is there a way to play an external mp4 file (intro) only when the published project is accessed from a specific site, therefore eliminating the need to update each project? Maybe there's a way to add a parameter or variable to the URL or the html code?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Please let me know if you need additional information.

AimeeLove,
I have a solution for you. You may have to modify the code a little bit based on how long the timeline animation is for your clock. I based mine on 3 seconds to complete a minute hand sweep around the clock.
Milliseconds for each point on the clock:
12 = 0
1 = 250
2 = 500
3 = 750
4 = 1000
5 = 1250
6 = 1500
7 = 1750
8 = 2000
9 = 2250
10 = 2500
11 = 2750
In the mouseover section for 12 o' clock, put this code...
myVar = setInterval(function(){
     var pos = sym.getPosition();
     if (pos > 0 && pos < 50){
          sym.stop(0);
          clearInterval(myVar);
},10);
When you point to the time, the setInterval method loops every 100th of a second and checks the current position of the timeline. When the timeline reaches the range between 0 and 50 milliseconds (almost impossible to hit 1 specific point), the timeline will stop at 0. Also, the clearInterval will be fired to stop the loop.
In the mouseout section, put this...
sym.play();
clearInterval(myVar);
It start the clock again, and it also clears the loop in case you mouseout before you reach the range.
Make sure that myVar is a global variable so you can clear it from the mouseout section.
Repeat this for each point on the clock. To avoid potential conflicts, you may want to use my12, my1, my2, etc. instead of myVar. I put the milliseconds at the top that you would use as the beginning of the range. 50 milliseconds should be enough to catch it. So, for 5 o' clock, you would make your range between 1250 and 1300.
Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Is there a way to select multiple files and initiate the Capitalize function?

I have hundreds of files all in upper case that are driving me crazy. I can select them one at a time, right click and then select Transformations/Capitalize. Is there a way to select multiple files and initiate the Capitalize function?

You could use Automator to do this - take a look at the article at http://www.wikihow.com/Batch-Rename-Files-in-Mac-OS-X-Using-Automator to see how this might be done.
Good luck...

I used my old computer for college and haven't used it in awhile, now I have a job that can benefit from having those programs. I was wondering if ADOBE keeps records or something to where I can download the programs on my new MacBook and use my old serial #s.

Is there a way to play a video recorded on an iphone 5, on an iPhone 4

I recorded a video on an iphone 5. I transfered it to Aperture. When I tried to sync it to an Iphone 4 it would not transfer. After some digging, I think the problem is that the iphone 4 does not play 1080p video. If that is the reason, is there a way to have aperture or itunes convert the video to the 720p that the iphone 4 can read?

I found out how. Bring it into QuickTime and export to iPhone 4 format.

Is there any way of storing audio- / video-elements in the browser cache in Safari in iOS?

Hi there,
I'm desperatly trying to find a solution for a web application that has to run on an iOS-Safari (e.g. on iPad, iPad2 and iPhone 4):
It's a web-application I wrote some time ago which lets the user search for and listen to short music samples (MP3s, all from ~100 kB to ~1.5 MB). The audio player is Flash-based, so it doesn't work on iOS-devices at the moment and I'll have to implement an alternative either in HTML 5 or with a "direct" QuickTime-object.
Both my HTML 5- and QuickTime-alternatives for iOS-devices work fine so far, but there's one major problem I can't find a solution to:
Unlike Flash and most HTML 5-capable browsers on Windows Safari on my iPad 2 won't store the audiofiles in the browsercache after loading and playing them - neither with HTML 5 audio-tags nor with a QuickTime-Object. Every time I load an audio file for playback from the server (with JavaScript-Commands, so without changing or reloading the whole page) it's downloaded again completely.
If a user listens to sample A and then to sample B, Safari forgot about having played sample A and downloads the whole MP3 again if I like to listen to it again. On a mobile device with a potentially narrow bandwith this behaviour is out of the question.
Is there a way of storing downloaded audiofiles opened by HTML 5 or QuickTime in Safari's cache so it remembers already having downloaded them - like it caches usual "web-files" like HTML, CSS or JPEG-images, or like Flash stores such objects in its local cache?
The Application Cache with a manifest-file is not an option - this only seems to work if the browser is offline, for example if the iOS-device is in "Airplane"-Mode.

Yes, I watched it. It contains interesting stuff I have to admit I didn't know yet, but unfortunately I still can't find a solution to my problem:
My first attempt was trying to use the Application Cache with a manifest file - although this is not really the intended purpose for my application... I don't have a static set of files that I want to have cached or "available offline" - I just want to cache MP3s which the user has played yet.
It should be possible to use a "dynamic manifest": One that is parsed by the Apache PHP module and listing the files played so far from a PHP session - something like this:
<?php
session_start();
header("Content-Type: text/cache-manifest, charset=UTF-8");
echo "CACHE MANIFEST\n";
foreach($_SESSION['playedSongs'] as $song)
    echo $song."\n";
?>
So whenever a song is loaded / played, I could access the PHP session with AJAX, insert the filename of the played file and manually update the manifest by calling window.applicationCache.update().
There are two problems with this:
First of all: It doesn't work. And I didn't even get to the point of trying to use a dynamic manifest:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html manifest="cache.manifest">
    <head>
        <title>Test</title>
        <script type="text/javascript">
        function playStuff(id)
            if(id == 1)
                window.document.getElementById("audio").innerHTML = '<audio controls preload="automatic" autobuffer><source src="song01.mp3" type="audio/mp3" /></audio>';
            else if(id == 2)
                window.document.getElementById("audio").innerHTML = '<audio controls preload="automatic" autobuffer><source src="song02.mp3" type="audio/mp3" /></audio>';
        </script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div id="audio"></div><br />
        <br />
        <input type="button" value="playStuff(1)" onclick="playStuff(1)" />
        <input type="button" value="playStuff(2)" onclick="playStuff(2)" />
    </body>
</html>
The cache.manifest looks like this:
CACHE MANIFEST
song01.mp3
song02.mp3
and is properly returned from Apache as "text/cache-manifest" by adding
AddType text/cache-manifest manifest
to the .htaccess of this directory.
The Apache-logs clearly show that the Safari (respectively "AppleCoreMedia") doesn't care about the application cache when it comes to audio-files:
Safari itself seems to acknowledge the manifest and indeed preload the files:

Every file is downloaded again completely when playing it. So "AppleCoreMedia" (whatever this may be exactly, the QuickTime-plugin that is triggered by the HTML 5 audio-element I suppose?) either doesn't have access to the Application Cache or simply just doesn't realize the files in it. So if I switch my iPad to "Airplane Mode" now, the Safari is unable to access / load / play the files.
I also tried using a QuickTime-object instead of an HTML 5 audio-tag (as far as I know HTML 5 audio and video in Safari always use QuickTime?) and controlling it with something like:
document.movie1.SetURL('song02.mp3');
Nothing changes, it's just like using HTML 5 audio and everything gets downloaded again when loading/playing it.
And even if this would work there'd still be a problem:
To properly implement that I would have to load the MP3-file in the Application Cache before playing it. When doing this it seems impossible to show a "real" progress: The ProgressEvent that is fired from the Application Cache after updating it doesn't seem to provide any information about data loaded so far and the complete size of a file. It's just "File 1 from 2" and so on, and not a "real" progress where I could determine something like: "100 kB of 1.2 MB loaded" as I can with the audio-element.
All the other storage-approaches like Web SQL / Web Database or Local Storage are no help either:
I don't see any way of getting the MP3 data into Local Storage or Web Database or getting it out again to play it. The HTML 5 Canvas-element has a toDataURL()-function to produce a Base64-encoded representation and use it for storage - the Audio-element doesn't seem to have anything like this.
My last really "dirty" approach was trying to load "manually" Base64-encoded-MP3s with a combination of AJAX and PHP: A PHP-script outputs a Base64-representation of a MP3-file and is loaded by AJAX, so I could store the Base64-representation e.g. as Local Storage or in Web Database:
<?php
$infile = 'song01.mp3';
$contents = file_get_contents($infile);
$base64 = base64_encode($contents);
$audio = 'data:audio/mp3;base64,'.$base64.'';
echo $audio;
?>
I tried using the resulting AJAX responseText as the source-argument in an audio-source-tag. Suprise: It doesn't work in Safari on my iPad 2, the player just fails to load the "file", although this works fine in Chrome on Windows. Possibly a size limitation for Base64-URIs on Safari / iOS.
And again: Even if this was working in iOS/Safari I don't know of a way to determine a real progress from an AJAX-query...
The last thing I could think of is not replacing the audio- or source-tags when loading a song but leaving them in the DOM-structure, check if it's already there when a song is loaded and just add a new audio-tag if a song hasn't been loaded yet.
This solution would be my last resort: I'd have to rewrite nearly the whole application to completely operate on JavaScript / AJAX to stay on one site in the browser - else the "cached" audio data would be lost again when changing to another site in Safari.
Furthermore I think there'll be a small cache limit somewhere when doing this?
Any ideas?

Is there a way to display only duplicates and not the original?

i know that there is a button to "display duplicates" but that displays both duplicates and the original. i just want to go through and delete everything that i dont need. i have like 40 gbs of duplicates and need some space on my comp. is there a way to do this without going through the duplicates list and deleting things one by one?

How would you define the duplicate?
I use the same feature, but many times songs that appear to be duplicates really are not. For example, I might have the same artist doing the song on the original album, on a compilation of greatest hits, on a live disc, and perhaps even on another compilation mixed in with other artists. Which is the duplicate?
Also you might find that some duplicate songs from the same artist have slightly different names, and they won't show up on the "show duplicates" list.
I like to keep some duplicates, because one day I might want to play by artist, and another day I might want to play some of my "decade" collections. I decided it was easier to have duplicate songs than try to manage playlists that reference the same song.
What I have started doing to identify duplicates, and it works well for me, is I make a temporary playlist and put everything by an individual artist into that playlist. I sort by song title. That puts all of the songs that have the same name together, but by artist, and I go through and selectively check / uncheck the songs I want to sync to my iPod or not. I don't try to do my entire library at once, since it's fairly large (in my case). Maybe a process like that would work for you.

Is there any way to play 1080p videos on the iPad with Retina Display without watching in full screen?

When I watch 1080p videos from iTunes on my iPad, they are stretched to fit the whole screen (with black borders) even though there aren't enough pixels in the video. This means that the videos are not crisp as one would expect on a retina display, but slightly blurry, as they are not pixel perfect. Is there any way to make the video smaller? Or does anybody know any 3rd-party apps which can do this?

There isn't as far as I can find - I've had a play around and can't find any way.

Is there a way to make a video playlist on the ipod touch itself

I have a iPod touch 5th gen with iOS 8.3 and for various reasons I cannot use a computer for a few days. I have a few home videos on my iPod and I was wondering if there was a way to make a video play list on your iPod itself without iTunes?

Not that I know of w/o iTunes

Is there a way to copy referenced video clips into the iMovie library?

When I import video clips into an iMovie event it seems that iMovie uses only a reference to the file. When files are moved things get horrible broken soon. I noticed that iMovie does actually copy video clips into your library when you convert your library from iMovie'11 to iMovie'13. Is there a way to copy video clips into the iMovie library when importing them so that they don't get lost?

Is there any way to play your podcasts with out the horrible app?

The stupid app that apple makes you get on your ipad keeps crashing and not playing my podcasts. Is there a way I can play them from itunes, and not have to deal with the crappy app?

Is it also playing music at double speed, or just podcasts?
If it is just playing podcasts at double speed, then perhaps you accidentally clicked the "2x" button. It appears on the right side of your screen, just beneath the slider to adjust your playback position in the podcast. The button is a 3-way toggle, with options for "1x", "2x", and "1/2x".
