My ipad VIDEOS app doesn't show the movie Names with IOS 7
I just upgraded to IOS 7. The Apple VIDEOS app no longer displays the file name for videos that don't have album art. I have to tap on each video screen shot (which is typically meaningless) to bring up the info/play screen to see the movie's "Name". Under IOS 6.1.4 (and prior versions) the VIDEOS app displayed the .mp4 file name underneath all videos without album art.
Is there an option to set to get the "Name" displayed on the VIDEOS main screen, or get a LIST view rather than an icon view, using IOS 7? (I have not found one)
Since most of my movies do not have album art this makes the VIDEOS app virtually useless.
OK, I gave up. You just can't fight city hall.
After messing with changing from 'Movie' to 'Home Video' I just said screw it. I just finished doing the following for my 64 'Home Video' movies:
- I did a Google image search on <movie name> poster
- I clicked on the thumbnail to bring up the image
- I did a right-click SAVE IMAGE AS
- I then did a GET INFO on the movie through iTunes
- I clicked on the ARTWORK tab
- I added the image I just found as the the artwork
- I change the MEDIA KIND back to MOVIE
- I then recopied the movies I keep on my iPad (about 10) from the PC
No more problems now either with viewing the local or Shared movie lists from my iPad. As I add new movies I will make sure to manually add the artwork. What a PITA.
Hopefully Apple will get this fixed. This movie UI painfulness (that wasn't even a problem on IOS 6.x) is something worthy of Microsoft.

Since updating to OS7 the video app doesn't show any titles for movies I have downloaded on my iPad. Anyone have the same problem or a fix?
Many users have solved the problem by syncing several times; and if that doesn't work, perform a simple restore. Your titles will come back.

I updated my iOS to 7 yesterday. But my music app doesn't show the 'Radio' button as the online videos and Apple website claims. What could be the reason and how to fix it. All other apps, swipe up/down seem to be working fine.

I have a iPad that kept showing my OLD adress in Orlando Fl on BOTH google maps and Apple Maps, even after I moved up north to South Carolina. I tried everything. I then tried my FIND MY iPHONE on my Macbook Pro and same thing. Annoying.
This evening I set up my BACK TO MY MAC so i could acess my Time Capsule from work. After I set it up, and just for grins, i renewed the DHCP Lease while doing this. After the Time Capsule rebooted, my iPad displayed the correct location immediately. My macbook pro was still showing the OLD location in my FIND MY iPHONE. Did a restart and BAM, its all good.
Not sure if it was the renew or restart of the Airport Extreme Time Capsule.
Hope this helps.

My weather app doesn't show the feels like temp or wind, etc. How can I fix this? I am running iOS 8.1.2.
is that really what it is? this is the native iphone weather app. the funny part is that when i use the actual weather channel app, it does provide it.
is this an api issue with the weather channel and the iphone then? i guess there's no fix?
thanks for your help by the way. -

News feed on my Facebook app doesn't show the correct time. Can the time be set?
Does your phone show the correct time?
If not, change the time on your phone, see if it helps.
If it does, then sign out, sign back in. If that fails, the delete and reinstall. If that fails, then contact Facebook, as they're the developers of the app and will have the proper documentation to help you further. -
I updated my iphone to iOS 6.0.1but it doesn't show the contacts names when calling or receiving calls. What to do?
This may be an error caused by the update. You can try to sync your contact information with iCloud and backup the rest of your data and then restore the device and see if it starts to work normally again.

Since IOS 5 iPad video app doesn't display correct art for shared videos.
Hello,
I like to watch my movies located on my mac computer over my network to my iPad. Ever since I installed IOS 5 on my iPad when browsing shared movies on iPad the artwork doesn't match the movie making it difficult to pick the correct movie. When I select a movie, then the correct movie artwork shows up before selecting play. when clicking back(Shared) button the artwork flips back to the incorrect artwork in the move list. I've tried rebooting my mac, rebooting my iPad. I even restored my iPad with no success. This problem didn't start until I installed IOS 5 on my iPad. Apple can you please fix this!!!!

[email protected]It doesn't work.. I have already tried many ways to close the app. This is the step by step guide I have to follow every time I want to close the video app:
1. When everything doesn't react - press the lock screen button.
2. press it again (or the home button) and slide the screen to unlock.
3. Now the Application doesn't have any picture. Just a black screen, but sound is still running, and it still doesn't react when I am doing anything. Now this was the tricky part to experience, because now I simply press the home button one time and after 12-15 seconds, the application hides and I am back to home screen. (sound still playing.)
4. Open the task bar and close the app. (Sound is still playing)
5. Press lock screen button. (sound stop playing).
6. Unlock the screen and open the video app again to start over. -
My message app is not showing the contact names
My Iphone 4 message app isn't showing the contact's names ! It came out of the blue, i didn't turn it off or anything, and the contacts are still in the phone, but all I can see in the Message app are the numbers ?
What can I do ? (did turn it off just but it didn't work)
Thanks !!!Check contacts, and then 'groups' in the upper left corner and make sure everything in there is check marked.
If they still don't appear, you can try to re sync the contacts from the source (iCloud, gmail, etc.) by going into your settings and toggling contacts off and back on.
Hope this helps! -

In iTunes if you right click on the video and select Get Info and go to the Option tap what Media Type is shown? -

Some friends have told me that their phone can last up to 2 days without charging??
If they are getting 2 days without charging, it's unlikely they use their device very much.
A full day is pretty good....and if I'm careful, I can easily get a full day of usage.
For me, normal is charging the iPhone mid afternoon at work, but I use it a lot.
My typical usage is 35 mins of listening to podcasts, checking email, checking my RSS feed, and checking a few apps while I ride my bike when I first get up. Then listening to several podcasts at work.
I typically stream music while working out during my lunch hour and use the Men's Health Fitness app to track my progress.
By about 2pm I'm ready to charge the device as it's getting low (somewhere between 20% and 50%).
I leave bluetooth, Wi-FI, and location services turned on all the time.
Personally, I just do not see the point in going into settings to turn on the feature when I need it... just too much hassle. All of my listening to podcasts and music is via Bluetooth.
I know I'm not the heaviest user, but I just do not see how anyone can realistically make it two days on a single charge, it makes me think they simply do not use the features of the device and would be just as well served with a basic or feature phone. -
Why doesn't my iPad Videos App show TV Show Episode Numbers?
Dear everybody,
Can you please help me with this issue, my iPad Videos app doesn't show TV Show episode numbers. They appear to be ordered correctly but shouldn't there be an episode number section?
Here's the screnshot:
http://tinypic.com/r/18kx09/6It's not designed to. It will only appear in Windows Explorer if you have photos on the iPad that were taken with it, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails, websites - in which case it will appear as a camera. Otherwise you get content on and off the iPad via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to your computer's iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc

Video app does not show movies or tv programs. What can I do?
The Video app does not show the movies and tv programs stored in the Ipad. They are still there. In fact, I can play them back in my computer when the Ipad is connected. I have closed the app, turned off/on the Ipad to no avail. What can I do?

IPad Videos App - Indicating Watched / Not-watched
I have watched videos on my iPhone for a while, it is very convenient that it shows a circle to indicate what has been viewed, partially or completely (or not at all). The iPad videos app doesn't seem to do this which is very invonvenient as I have a series of TV shows I am watching and now have to remember where I was up to.
Am I missing something or is this an oversight in the Videos app?OK, I gave up. You just can't fight city hall.
