Photoshop-saved GIFs not playing on iOS

Hi,
I have spent quite some time looking for a solution to my extremely infuriating issue with GIF and Photoshop, and I really hope someone might help me with it on this forum.
For example right now I have a file of 27 frames that is of course looped on 'forever'.
When in the 'Save for Web' settings window I apply them really humbly:
image size 1000x667px
4 colours
'interlace', 'transparency' and 'convert to sRGB' are unticked
no dithering, matte: none.
MacOS preview option (space), Preview app and the browsers like Chrome and Safari (cannot say about the rest) allow the file to be playing forever, although sometimes I have to reload the page in Safari to make it work.
What really bothers me in this situation is that absolutely all the GIF animations I'm trying to create with my Photoshop software are never playing on iOS and Android devices no matter if I revise the settings, like for instance decreasing image size to 100px67px.
I tried to perform the same operation on both home and work machines. Different licenses, both macs.
I remember three-four years ago, I could easily create GIF files that worked on all platforms including iOS. I used Photoshop CS6.
Looking forward for someone to help me with it!
Thanks

Mp4 not playing on iOS

Hi,
Can you clarify why the optical flare mp4. at the start of my animation will not play on iOS please?
It is working fine here on Chrome http://nyresolution.ie/
var video = sym.$("myVideo");
$(video).html('<video width="1920" height="1080" autoplay><source src="assets/opticals.mp4" type="video/mp4"></video>');
Many thanks,
Kim

IOS does not support autoplay for audio or video.

ITunes purchased videos and all DRM movies will not play on iOS 8 devices when streamed from an external drive (or streamed from other wireless devices). Any solution in sight?

Video streaming of DRM movies, purchased from iTunes and other vendors, to any iOS device is not working.

I am not sure if you really understand the issue at hand. Possibly that you are just scanning, not reading the whole text, or simply that you just want to close a thread with your last words or derail it for whatever strange reason. So far you have been more destructive than helpful, but again this could be ignorance at best.
If you would have had the decency to read the entire thread you would have come to the conclusion that every manufacturer, I came across, has posted FAQ's to this issue but Apple. Find a short excerpt below:

Movies purchased from iTunes can be streamed to iOS 6 and iOS 7 devices which were authorized from remote storage (the video could be selected in Seagate Media App and would be played in a Safari browser), however in iOS 8 this has stopped working. A bug has been filed with Apple, however this functionality has not been restored. Therefore, DRM protected movies purchased on iTunes can no longer be played on devices running iOS 8.

Apple Music App not playing audio iOS 5

I updgraded my iPhone to iOS 5.0.1 and now my Music App isn't playing any of my songs. I can open the App and navigate fine, but when I press play it doesn't. I tried force quitting the app and even restarted the iPhone, but that still did not fix the issue.
Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?

My music is now playing agian, but the issue still exists let me explain.
I upgraded from an iPhone 4 to iPhone 4S.
I then restored my iPhone 4S with an iPhone 4 backup.I did this to get all my previous data etc..
The music from that backup did not "play"
I then synced new music to my iPhone 4S after reading "Radar103" comment.
Even though I synced new music it did not remove previous songs already on my iPhone.
All new songs play just fine except for music from original backup.
Here's the kicker. When I view my iPhone 4S music using iTunes I DO NOT see the songs from original backup. This is weird because when I navigate on my iPhone I can still select them.
I really don't want to restore my iPhone to start from scratch. Any suggestions?
My next step will be to call AppleCare.

Adobe Media Encoder .mp4 not playing on iOS

trying to get my video to work on iOS.
i know it has to be .mp4 and i have various videos i have successfully encoded but some do not work when I render them as .mp4
I have been taking the .mov files (they were rendered to QT using Animation)
using Adobe Media Encoder h.264 which gives me a .mp4 file. (but like I said...some are not working on iOS).
so what is the traick with Adobe Media Encoder???
settings:
- Source File: G:\HF_SC_BACKUP\HF_SC\_PT_Final\Open\Final\2009\HF_09b.mov

Embedded MP4 videos not playing in iOS Safari

Hi everyone,
I'm having a problem with embedded MP4 videos (e.g. YouTube videos) not playing correctly in Safari. When I try to play one, I get one of two problems:
1. On my (first gen) iPad, Safari usually crashes.
2. On my iPhone 4, videos will load but only play audio, not video, though when I tap on the screen the "play" and "pause" symbols appear.
Has anyone else run into this problem? Or know how to fix it?
Thanks,
Mike

Ok, I fixed it. Go to some embedded Flash video, click to run and then right click to get Global Settings for Flash. Go into Storage and make sure you aren't blocking any data from being stored on your computer. At the very least choose the "ask me" setting. (For good measure I also went into Advanced and clicked to Delete All Data associated with Flash. But when I restored Block for data storage the videos stopped working, so that seems to be the answer.) I'd be interested to hear if this works for others.

PhotoShop CC will not play Layer Adjustment Actions Correctly

My computer has PhotoShop CC installed on a brand new Dell Windows 7 computer. Previously I used CS4 and it worked great, but now I'm having issues with CC playing back any Action that has layer adjusments. I'll record an action consisting of an edited layer adjustment such as curves, levels, brightness/conrast, etc., and then when I play it back the layer adjustment applied is the default 0. For instance, here I clicked "Create New Action" and labeled it "Curves Layer TEST":
add a new curves layer adjustment and label it "Brighten":
Then I add a few points to the curve (overly brightened to demonstrate my issue):
then I hit the Stop Recording button. But when I look at the curve values in the Actions box of the very curve layer I just recorded, it says the Preset Kind is Default. Why doesn't it say Custom??? The Properties box read "Custom" as I was editing the curve!
So anyway, I open up my nexy photo and play the Brighten action I just created...
and nothing happens to the image. Oh, it now has a curves layer on top, but it's the Default straight line. What happened to the curve I edited and recorded!!??
What's the deal? This is the same process I used in CS4, CS2 and every other PhotoShop incarnation and it worked fine, until CC. Is this a bug? Or is there a new process to creating layer adjustment actions???

Adobe added the adjustment panel in CS4. Adobe also changed how the action recorded records adding adjustment layers in CS4. Before the Adjustment panel when you clicked on one of the add adjustment layer icons Photoshop would open the adjustment type options dialog window which you would set and commit. When you committed the settings the action recorder would record a single step that added the adjustment layer with the setting you set. After Adobe added the adjustment panel the action recorder records a step Make adjustment layer Adjustment type preset default as soon as you click on the adjustmet type icon. If you then make changes to the settings when you move onto the next Photoshop operation the action recorder records a second step Set current adjustment layer to type preset kind custom and settings. Adobe also introduced many problems with the adjustment panel. The two step recoding can be a problem because it possible to add steps between the two steps and the step set current adjustment layer will fail if the targeted layer was changed by the addition. The adjustment panel also has two options in its fly-out menu the change Photoshop operation. They can break new and old actions that add adjustment layers. For how adjustment layers will get added may not be the way they were added when the action was recorded. These options work more like global Photoshop Preferences actions have no control over. However the options do not alway work like set. So if you try real hard you can record actions that add adjustment layers that will alway work the way you designed your action to work. Adobe does not want to fix these problems. I tried to get Adobe to fix these bugs for years. I have now given up.

Photoshop Edited Video Not Playing In Premiere Pro

Hi All
Apologies if this thread has been repeated elsewhere but I am getting pretty deperate in trying to sorth this problem out.
I am creating a remastered project of my Sister's Wedding video and I want to touch up a few frames in the video usinf Photoshop.
Here are the steps I did:
1) I have created a new Photoshop (PSD) file within Premiere Pro with the same frame size/rate etc.
2) I then import the wedding video into the PSD doucument in photoshop which creates a video layer.
3) I search the frames that require repair and edit using the tools in PS.
4) Then Save the the file in PS.
5) I move back to PPro and Import the PSD file into the project panel. As there was only one video layer, I selected 'all layers'.
6) I move the PSD file to the timeline and press play and the program monitor just shows the last frame I edited in Photoshop even though the sequence is over 90 minutes long! The playhead moves but just a single frame shown on the monitor.
Am I missing something here? I know you can have a Photoshop/Premiere Pro workglow and do all the edits or filtering, transitions necessary and it will automatically update in Premiere Pro, but this simply isn't working as I'd expect.
I am an amateur user of these applications and being partially sighted probably doesn't help either, so any help would be gratefully received.
Thanks in advance
Dave

Hi Dave,
Haven't touched up any video in Photoshop in a couple of years, but the last step is definitely to export as VIDEO from PS, which will be an .MOV file. A .PSD file is not video
EDIT: Just Googled "how to edit video in photoshop", tons of tutorial vids come up right away
Thanks

Previously saved recordings not playing after sche...

I'm on the new BT Vision system. Received an automated call this week advising of a forthcoming scheduled system upgrade. The upgrade took place tonight and went ok.
However, when I now go to my Recordings, all of which were saved prior to the upgrade, the screen goes black with the play-bar at the bottom of the screen, as though to start playback, though then simply goes back to the Recordings screen before playback commences.
Also noticed that the amount of blue displayed on the Disk Space bar in the menu page has decreased a fair bit - does this suggest that although my Recordings are all listed still, they have essentially been deleted?
Thanks.

Your recordings have been deleted and should not actually show.

Saved music not playing

I have some songs in a zip folder that I got from a artist via e-mail. I saved the zip folder to my desktop when I downloaded the album. I clicked on the song & it appears in itunes. when I go & play the song again in itunes it has a "!" saying "it could not be used because the original file could not be found". How do you save the songs permanentlly?

I'm new to this area of discusstion. LOL What is extracted the files? I jusy simply open itunes & try to play 'em but the won't. (They will in folder)
I also have another song that I download from one of my friends but this 1 song gives me the same message as the other songs on the same CD will play fine. Why?

Sound not Playing on iOS Devices?

Hello,
I am having a problem getting audio to play on my iOS devices (iPhone 4 and iPad Mini, both running iOS 7.1.2) but on desktop and BlackBerry BB10 devices it seems to be fine. All of the animation functions appear to be working fine. I have the audio in both mp3 and ogg formats. I have “preload Audio” selected and “Autoplay” turned off. I believe preload doesn’t work on iOS devices (and others presumably) but does having it on cause any problems? On or off it doesn’t seem to make any difference in this case. I am using a play button to launch the animation at 0.5 seconds and then in the timeline at 1.0 seconds I am using a trigger with the following code:
sym.$("HollyInTheSnow2")[0].play();
I am using Adobe Edge Animate CC version 2014.1.1 (just updated).
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Adding such audio play code as the trigger on the timeline won't work on iOS devices.
You need to add such code in the user event like on clicking some button, or in compositionReady event handler for the stage like below
     setTimeout(function () {
               sym.$("HollyInTheSnow2")[0].play();
          }, 1000);   //this will play after atleast 1 second

Music not playing in ios 7

Hi -
When I press "play" to start a song, the song stays at 0:00. If I try and move the slider to the middle of the song, it simply slides back down to zero. Tones and alarms play as they should and I've updated all apps.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Jeff

Howdy TXwildcard,
I'd suggest disabling music sync (removing the music should your device be in 'manual mode'), syncing, then reenabling music syncing (readding the music in the case of manual mode).

Issue of Audio not playing in IOS still here with EA 2014.1.1

Edge Animate. No audio when viewed on my ipad and galaxy android. Just like previous discussion that I found. It appears audio worked fine in previous version but not now. Adobe often goes backwards with updates. App gets worse not better. Hey guys, first do no harm.
I tried coding work arounds but no progress.
Is this being work on in the next Edge update?
Also: how can I make the audio stop playing when the view goes on to another page?

Dew,
Can you verify that include audio is checked on the Project:Publish Settings dialog in the Preferences dialog accessed using the button on the Publish Dialog?
