Lock screen while playing video

Hello,
I know there is no support at the moment, but would like to know if there will be a software upgrade to support this in future releases? I would like the apples products have the ability to lock the screen while still allowing videos to play either from youtube or stored videos. This will allow me to hand the iPad or iPhone to my kids and let them watch their shows without accidentally pressing buttons and getting out of the video then getting upset, because their video is gone.
Thanks,
Andrew

Lock screen while playing videos and music?

iPhone 4 iOS 7.1.2 (up to date), no SiM card installed.
This is an old iPhone I use to play videos and music for my daughter (2 years). She watches the video, but tends to too=uch the screen because that's what kids do. This pauses the video, or sends the phone to the home screen. Is there a way to lock out the screen while the video plays so that only the home button will pause the video?

Hi Scott,
I think Guided Access with Ignore all screen touches is what you need.
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph7fad0d10
Turn on Guided Access. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Guided Access, where you can:
Turn Guided Access on or off
Set a passcode that controls the use of Guided Access and prevents someone from leaving a session
Set whether other accessibility shortcuts are available during a session
Start a Guided Access session. Open the app you want to run, then triple-click the Home button. Adjust settings for the session, then click Start.
Disable app controls and areas of the app screen: Circle any part of the screen you want to disable. Use the handles to adjust the area.
Enable the Sleep/Wake or Volume buttons: Tap Options and turn on the buttons.
Ignore all screen touches: Turn off Touch.
Keep iPhone from switching from portrait to landscape or from responding to any other motions: Turn off Motion.
End a Guided Access session. Triple-click the Home button, enter the Guided Access passcode, and tap End.
Have fun,
Nubz

Black screen while playing video in itunes

I am currently running itunes 11.1.2.32 on a windows 8.1 (64 bit) pc. I had to reinstall itunes when switching from 8.1 preview to 8.1 due to download issues. I now have a black screen when playing videos in itunes. Audio still works. Suggestions?

I've had the same problem. Tried switching from the built in Intel video to an nVidia graphics card, reinstalled cursed a lot.
Finally got it working the hard ware. Built a virtual XP machine (like the SP support system in Windows 7). Installed itunes in the virtual machine and can now watch my movies and tv shows. Both itunes and Windows 8.1 seem to be "not ready for prime time". I wish MS wouldn't have tried to make a computer look like a cell phone/pad.

Lock screen while playing music and charging

I thought recently Apple had made a change so that the lockscreen would show your album art while playing music AND charging at the same time. Right now I'm playing music and charging, but the lock screen shows the battery charging. Is this a change or am I mis-remembering?

That is strange. I do not get album art when the phone is locked and an album is playing. All my albums have album art too. I will reboot and try again, maybe it's a bug in iOS4.1?
FIXED !!! -- I just rebooted my iPhone and now it works. Strange.

Can the Touch Screen on iPhone be Disabled while Playing Video?

My 16-month old son loves watching Sesame Street on my iPhone 3GS while we travel. Problem is, he keeps touching the screen and inadvertently stopping the video or exiting from the iPod application.
Is there a way to disable the touch screen while watching video so that the only way of re-activating is by pressing the home button? Thanks.

No, there is not. You can send feedback to Apple - http://apple.com/feedback

VLC and even Quicktime stutters while playing videos

VLC and even Quicktime stutters while playing videos, more so for HD content. Any tips to improve performance? I have already tried turning off automatic graphics switching, did not make things better
I have an early 2011 Macbook Pro 15 inch, and i have had this problem from forever

I'm sorry, I didn't explain myself correctly. I was referring to watching a video on the iPod. It is really annoying when the video freezes momentarily, and the audio continues to play smoothly, but by the time the video catches up, you have lost several frames of your video. You know what I mean? Really annoying...

Let me ask you this:
How can you "watch" a video while you are scrolling
around in your menus? There is only one screen on my
iPod and I can only use it to watch videos OR scroll
through menus. When I press the menu button while
watching a video, the iPod goes back to the previous
menu. Then, when I go back to the video, it starts
back exactly where it was when I pressed the menu
button in the first place. Apparently, it pauses
while you are looking through the menu screens. Now
with music, I understand what you're saying but I
haven't had any stuttering or anything while browsing
the menus. The video is a bad example because it
doesn't work like you have explained....

HT1212 Is my screen supposed to change from the screen with the charger and the iTunes circle to my lock screen while it's in recovery mode?

Is Find My Phone turned on, on your phone? If so, eject from iTunes, login to iCloud.com, locate your phone, then erase it.
Does the same thing...removes the passcode. Then, either restore from backup, or setup as a new device.

While playing videos on itunes, audio and video will stop and start. It just started doing this recently and it does it with all my itunes videos..help!!

While playing videos on itunes, the audio and video will stop and start several times during playback. This just started recently and it does it on all my videos. Help!!

Try to download the application VLC.
It is a media player that should be able to play any audio or video file you may have. If your videos play flawlessly using that application, then the issue is with iTunes and Quicktime, as they are both essentially similar software types when it comes to playing media.
In that case you may need to install a plug-in file called Perian, in order for the videos to play correctly within iTunes or at least Quicktime...

My iPad locked up while playing a game. Now can't turn it off or do anything.

Nt iPad locked up while playing a game. Now I can't get it to shut down or do anything. The buttons don't do anything. Help!!

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

While playing video system crashes

While playing video system crashes all the times. I am using WIN 7 and also had skype installed(don't know if that would cause it). Any idea how to fix that?

Suspending the Screen while playing music...

I noticed while playing music for long periods of time this bad boy gets hot. So I tried suspending the screen while playing music. The screen shut off but the music still plays ;0) (go apple). So now I shut the screen off when playing music and that seems to help the battery life as well as the heat it puts off.

I have been looking for an answer for it myself and here are the opons :
1.having an external diplay will disable slep mode with close lid.
2.there are programs that will force it to not go to sleep (sleepless,insomnia ) - risky !!!
3.turn off the screen (by dim all the way) and keep it almost closed ....
i know non of the above are perfect for you and its realy nice to have it closed when not in use but apple will not give you service if you use the programs and it will overheat.....so dont. please,dont.
tomer
p.s. don't!

How do you set iphone4S to hear phone calls while playing videos

This is my first iphone but have used ipod touch for years. What settings should I have to hear phone call rings while playing videos?

There is no setting for that on the phone. Some carriers provide ringback tones, which play instead of the caller hearing a ring. But I am not aware of an app that would play a message prior to you picking up the phone. The amount of time before you pick up is not a constant, and if it lasts too long, then the call would go to voicemail.

Unresponsive lock screen while charging

Has anyone had an issue with a unresponsive lock screen while charging? As soon as I unplug the lightening connector and the unlock screen changes to my lockscreen wallpaper it responds?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
As far as I know, iPads don't show the battery icon while it's being charged. It just only shows for a few seconds when you plug it to the charger, but then it disappears and you can only see your battery icon at the top right of the screen

My mini locks up while playing.

My ipod mini locks up while playing a song. It doesn't matter what song it's playing. The time it does it is random also. It takes some time to clear and at times needs to be re-set. The Apple store ran the updated but it didn't help.

Craig
I see you have reset your iPod before many times but that procedure hasn't worked to stop your iPod from locking up.
Are you resetting correctly?
Have you tried to restore your iPod to factory settings using iPod Updater?
