Question about Videos app on iPad

How can I prevent the videos app on my iPad from playing several tv episodes in a row without stopping inbetween?

When you delete a message it's gone but for some reason when I used mine before it use to save the messages by using the Spotlight Feature, you could turn that off by going to Settings --- > General ---> Spotlight Search and unchecking message where it won't let you find certain keywords to messages sent or recieved

  • Question About Transferring Apps From iPad

    *****Sorry for the waste of space and time. I finally found an article saying that it cannot be done. Apps stay in the name they were downloaded with.*****
    I am wondering if you can transfer Apps with multiple accounts to iTunes with one account stored? I know this may be confusing so let me explain a little bit. Alright, I have an account and so of course I have intalled Apps onto my iPad. Now my girlfriend also has an account and she has installed some Apps onto my iPad. I believe I have three different accounts tied to several Apps on my iPad. Now I know I can transfer purchases by doing this...
    My question is, is there a way to correlate all 3 accounts' Apps to one single account? That way I don't have to sign in and out for every account. I just hate having to call and ask for their login information everytime I want to get updates or transfer things from my iPad to my iMac. Obviously some of the Apps were installed on my iPad through their accounts by the use of their funds, and it's not like they would just appear on my iPad without them doing so. There must be a way to do this...

    I have the same issue. I've heard at this time there is no way to consolidate accounts. Let's hope we'll be able to do it in the future!

  • Question About Sharing Apps Between My iPhone and My Wife's iPhone

    Hi, I have a question about downloading apps to my iPhone.
    I ordered two iPhone 3g's - one for my wife and one for me, and I've discovered that when I download an app (even free ones) on my iPhone and then later sync it to iTunes, my wife cannot put it on her phone. However if I download it on iTunes on my computer and later sync it to my phone, then my wife is able to sync it to her phone as well. It's no big deal when they are free because she can just go get it if she wants it. I haven't purchased any apps yet, but is there a way to be able to give my wife apps that I purchase on my iPhone? Or do I need to purchase all of my [pay] apps and songs on iTunes on my computer to ensure we both have access? Or do I have it all wrong completely LOL?? This rights management stuff is confusing.
    Thanks in advance for your help,
    Jimmy

    I had my iTunes account and phone before I got my wife's hers. When I first started, I synced hers from her account on my computer brought in my libraries and authorized her phone as one of the 5 allowed. She had all purchased apps and music. Over time we each bought music or apps on our seperate accouts. Of course, we told each other about cool apps or music we bought and wanted on our phone. When I went to sync iTunes was going to delete all music and apps and sync with the library I was logged into. Didn't want that, only work around I have found is to copy new music or new apps from one library to the other. Updating on the phone is also difficult because you can't switch between accounts so updates have to be done at the computer for apps bought under different accounts. I am sure there is a better way to do this and ask for an insight anyone would have. I hope it works out.

  • No video app on ipad

    No video app on ipad to watch movies etc. 
    How do I get this on my ipad?

    You can also go to Settings >General >Reset >Reset Home Screen Layout and the app should then be visible on your home screen.
    I have absolutely no idea if this could be the case, but certain apps are not available in certain countries - for instance FaceTime is not available in the UAE. I have never heard of this with the video app but it is just a random thought as it seems like everyone else who has posted has covered every other rational possibility.

  • Apple's Videos App on iPad won't load my shared library

    Hi,
    I've been looking for an answer to this problem for ages!
    Symptoms/context:
    You have all your movies onto one big drive
    You have uncheck Preferences|Advanced|"Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library"
    (this way all titles will be linked to your big drive, not copied)
    You have drag/drop those movies from your big drive in Finder into your iTunes Movies library
    You have enabled Home Sharing (File|Home Sharing|Turn On Home Sharing)
    You have disabled the old way of sharing (Preferences|Sharing tab|Uncheck "Share my library on my local network")
    You have proudly added a very nice artwork for each of your movie so that you'll get nice thumbnails in iTunes
    by using Identify.app
    or by looking on the web for the best artwork (i.e. flickfacts.com), saving it locally, then drag/drop on your movie in iTunes (Get Info|Artwork)
    You're using Apple's Videos app to load your shared library on you iPad
    (Start Videos app,select your Shared library,wait a while,then all your thumbnails are displayed fine)
    Then as the days go by, you realize that loading your library is taking more and more time, up until that day when all **** brakes loose and you get stuck at the small round clock progress bar, and you wait and wait but no thumbnails is coming up anymore. You reset everything to no avail. What happened?!!
    Well here's what I had to do to fix that problem:
    Everything is about movie thumbnails!
    In my case I had an overhead of 0.5GB of thumbnails for 650 movies! That's an overhead alright! By overhead I mean that the sum of all my thumbnails was 500MB, so the Videos app had to load this (maybe not entirely at once but...) every time you start the app and select your shared library. This explain  why the app get slower and slower has you add new movies, thus new thumbnails/artworks.
    But this doesn't really explain why ultimately the Videos app stops loading all of a sudden!
    I realize the iTunes doesn't like:
    Movie that doesn't show the correct icon preview in Finder
    Invalid movie formats - I'll explain later
    Big thumbnails
    Read all 3 steps and don't forget the last paragraph at the end.
    Movies that doesn't show the correct icon preview in Finder
    Ultimately, I think that was the main problem of all my 3 steps
    In Finder, enable the Icon Preview:
    View|Show View Options|Check "Show Icon Preview"
    You should now be able to see you thumbnails like this in Finder:
    VALID:
    INVALID:
    But if you see any of these icons, the Videos app on the iPad might stumble a bit when loading the library
    or
    If that's the case for some of your movies, you'll have to make sure that ALL your movies have a proper thumbnail.This can be achieve:
    by using Identify.app - see (note1)
    or by looking on the web for the best artwork (i.e. flickfacts.com), saving it locally, then drag/drop on your movie in iTunes (Get Info|Artwork)
    Once the thumbnail is corrected, it should display fine in Finder and iTunes
    Invalid movie formats
    There might be some cases where even after correcting the thumbnail in step 1., this icon still remains invalid.
    If that's the case, you'll need to:
    Either delete the movie altogether and rip it again
    or reconvert it. For example with iSkySoft iMedia Converter Deluxe has a "Speed conversion" option that allows you to reconvert a 2.5GB movie in about 5 min. After the re-conversion I just had to do step 1. and all was fine, and the thumbnail would show well in Finder/iTunes.
    Big thumbnails - may be optional
    To speed up the loading of the movie library you have to reduce the size of the artwork that you insert into each of your movie's metadata:
    Get the artwork on the web (i.e. flickfacts.com) and preferably a .jpg format,and save it locally
    Open your movie file with Preview (Apple's preview app)
    Tools | Adjust Size
    Fit into: 640x480 pixels + OK
    Save As (press Option before Saving) and save it in another folder (I called my folder "Reduced to 640x480")
    Note: if you want to do this on a bunch of files at once: select all your files in Finder, right click and select Open. All you .jpgs will be opened in Preview. Then Ctrl-A to select all in Preview, then you can resize them all)
    You'll noticed that a 1.5MB artwork can easily reduced as small as 50K-200K.
    For example, I went from 500MB to 72MB for all my artworks. Much smallest overhead wouldn't you say?!
    Now comes the part you'll all love : you need to remove ALL your old big artworks for ALL your iTunes movies:
    in iTunes | Movies
    Right click on a movie|Get Info|Artwork tab|Select the artwork|Delete
    Drag/drop your newly reduced .jpg to that same window
    Click OK to save.
    You can't do that in batch, you have to do each manually like this (if anyone has a better idea, I'm all ears)
    See (note1)
    (note1) Important: If you use a program like Identify.app to retrieve the metadata/artwork, I'm pretty sure the size of the automatically retrieved artwork is quite big by default (around 1.5MB-2MB) so you might wanna be careful here and use it to retrieve the movie's metadata, but after that do step 3. to replace the artwork with a smaller one.
    VERY IMPORTANT
    Once step 1, 2 are completed (and I had already completed the optional step 3) you have to remove all movies from iTunes (see note, next sentence ) and drag/drop them all back from your drive to your iTunes Movies window. BEFORE REMOVING ALL MOVIES FROM iTUNES, make sure that the option (Preferences|Advanced|"Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library") was uncheck. If it was checked, I'm pretty sure it will delete all your movies on disk, not only in iTunes!!! - you'll have to investigate this yourselves or make sure you have a good backup copy of your movies first.
    Since I've done all this, my iPad's Videos app is taking about 10-20 sec to load my over than 600 movies library
    Pfew!!
    Have fun gang,
    Jean

    This worked for me... A little time consuming but once you get rolling it goes GREAT... Thanks....
    I got my artwork and saved it to my Desktop
    Opened up Microsoft Paint and clicked on "File" and "Open" and found it to get it on the screen to resize it
    Clicked "resize" and a box for changing it opened up
    Checked the box "Pixels" and "Unchecked maintain aspect ratio"
    Set Horizontal for 640 and Vertical for 480
    Clicked on "OK" and went back to "File" and did a "Save As" and chose JPEG Picture
    It came up "File Already Existed" and clicked "OK" (really did not care about the original artwork I found because wrong size)
    Went to iTunes and on the movie right clicked on "Get Info", clicked on "Details", then "Artwork"
    Go to the little box on the top left that shows your old artwork and click on it to get the little blue border to appear around it and hit "Delete" to make it gone
    Click on "Add Artwork" and find it where you put the one from above on your Desktop and hit "Open" and OK and your new artwork is now there and all good.
    Sounds like a lot of steps to follow but after around 5 or so you will fly through it. This worked perfect on my iPhone 6 Plus and I have artwork on my Home Videos now.

  • Video app on iPad Air doesn't sync correctly

    All my movies ever purchased are showing up in my Video app on my iPad Air, when I have the sync movies button unclicked.
    No movies will play and most of the movie icons have no image.
    What gives?

    You may not have enough available storage space. How much do you have?

  • Video app on iPad errors downloading iOS 7.2

    Anyone else getting errors when trying to download rentals on the iPad? Start to download...I okay to start watching the movie and then I get a message saying that the movie can't be downloaded now. Choose 'done' or 'retry'. Retry does no good. So my 24 hours turns into less.
    The video app used to work great before ios7...what happened?

    First check the side switch (by the volume rocker). It serves as a rotation lock or all mute. Make sure you haven't muted by mistake. Also look in the settings, general, and make sure it's not muted.
    Then you can try giving your device  a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds until it reboots and see if that helps.
    If not, you can then go into the settings and 'reset all settings'. You will need to retweak your device, but that's helped for some with sound issues.

  • HT3621 How do I sync my video app on iPad with iPod Touch?

    Both the iPod Touch and the iPad2 have the video apps.  I have lots of videos on my iPod Touch that I'd like to sync with the iPad so that the iPad2 would then have a copy.  Both contain the 6.1.3 IOS.  Can I do this without having to just download fresh?

    It these are videos that you purchased from iTunes you will have to download them again (if they are available for free downloads using the same ID) or transfer them to iTunes and then sync them to the iPad. If these are videos that you shot with the iPod Touch camera, you can use a WiFi Photo Transfer app like WiFi Transfer to send the videos to the iPad.

  • Why isn't the filename of the movie used in Video app on iPad?

    I've numbered the filenames of  a series of cartoons so that they sequentially on my Windows 8 laptop.  I loaded them onto my iPad mini, but on the Video app, they do not appear under their filenames, but under another name (in the metadata?).  How can I organize the cartoons so that they appear sequentially in the Video app, as they should be in order to be understood as a cartoon series?

    I can't recall the name of the program, but there are ones that you can use to edit the date and time of a file (look for properties editor). Make all the files have teh same date and time (to the second) then they should default to name order. (I'm presuming these are home made video files)

  • Question about Apple's new iPad retina requirement.

    Apple recently made it a requirement that apps support all retina displays for both iPads and iPhones.
    What acceptable options are available in AIR for supporting the iPad Retina display and still meet Apple's new requirement?
    Here's my situation :
    I've been working on a universal app using AIR 3.6 that works well in all iOS resolutions other than for iPad retina (2048x1536).
    When building native support for the iPad retina resolution, the app performance is very poor (due to having to animate and manipulate such large bitmaps). The coding approaches that I've used are supposed to be good on performance, so I doubt that I can optimize things to the point where the performance would be acceptable using the larger art assets.
    In comparison, when I use an older version of AIR (3.2) and let the iOS compatibility mode automatically scale up the app to fill the 2048x1536 screen, the performace of the app is just fine (and looks almost identical).
    Would using this type of approach cause an app to be rejected by Apple now?
    It appears that AIR 3.6 added the ability to restrict just the the iPad high resolution (without restricting iPhones ) using :
    <requestedDisplayResolution excludeDevices="iPad3">high</requestedDisplayResolution>
    It seems that this would solve my performance issue, but I'm not sure if Apple's new "retina support requirement" would result in my AIR app being rejected if I used this approach to disable iPad Retina support.
    Does anyone know if Apple will now accept an app that was built with iPad retina support disabled through this approach?
    Another option that I've tried that may be a workable solution is :
    During launch when 2048x1536 resolution is detected, the app loads all of the 1024x768 art assets instead and then scales up the app by a factor of two (using scaleX = scaleY = 2).
    The above seems to generate acceptable performance. The artworks looks a little blurrier and less crisp using this approach due to the scaling, but is acceptable to me personally. As this is technically using "standard" resolution art assets and scaling them up, would taking this approach get rejected by Apple?
    I'm open to any other options/approaches/suggestions to adding iPad retina support that would allow me to address the performance issues on iPad retina and still allow my app to get approved by Apple. I'm just a little bit confused on what constitutes an app having "iPad Retina" support. Does the app just need to be compiled with a newer version of the iOS SDK to get through the approval process, or does this mean something else?
    Thanks.

    Seems like you have two options, if you are already scaling stuff down after launching at a higher res why not make it an option. Have a setting for "High Resolution" and one for "High Performance" the difference would is one would run in Retina mode and one would run in standard mode so users with iPad4 and iPhone5 could probably use the High Res but iphone 4 users can switch to the High Performance setting.
    The way I have dealt with it is design everything to a 1024 width and 640 height, this is standard Kindle Fire resolution but almost all devices crop the app in a way where all the key features fit on screen, I just had an app approved 2 days ago by Apple using this technique so basically I am running 1024 graphics on the retina screen, they look great (we are only humans and we can't make out every pixel despite what Apple thinks) and the performance is nice as well. I think they worry about apps being stretched for some reason when apple ups a 1024 app to a retina width using their software it looks horrible but if it is done by the developer it looks great. Download a non retina app and try it on a retina iPad or export your app for Standard resolution and check it out vs exporting for high.
    I think you will be fine either way.

  • Question about Video Cards on Laptops

     Hi everyone, and sorry if I post this in the wrong area. I own a few computers, some are consider ancient and others are somewhat old but can run Windows XP just fine. I have a question about the computers in the stores today.
    I am looking to invest in a new laptop, possibly a desktop in the near future depending on my budget. The question I have about video cards today is that, I enjoy a good MMO game now and then, I don't expect to play heavy intensive games, just maybe some more advance games. I notice that for one game that I want to play, it requires a video card to have (Shadow Rendering, Vertex and Pixle Shaders). Do the computers today have those as standard for thier video card? Or do I have to invest in a little bit more expensive laptop/desktop. I am willing to invest money for some more RAM, if I need to improve its preformance. The reason I ask is because I have a 4 year old Laptop with a broken keyboard, and I was thinking about just replacing the laptop with a newer one. it has some pretty good specs and runs everything fine, but it can not play certain games because of those missing video requirements. (Current laptop incase someone is curious: 1.5Ghz Celeron M, 1GB memory 64MB video (Shared) ) Thanks to anyone who has the answer to this question. (P.S sorry if everything is scrunched together. for some reason the formatting is wierd on Opera web browser

    Graphics cards have all those standard today... or at least they should unless you get a really cheap Graphics card. The kind of graphics card and processor and other specs of the computer you want to get should depend on what you want to do with it. It also depends on the kind of games you want to play. If you're playing FPS [first person shooter] then you need a really good graphics card and processor. If you're playing something like Diablo 2 or something that's on the lower end of graphics then you just need decent specs. Graphics cards, I suggest something with aGeForce Nividia card... as of today, they are in the 9 series for high-end cards I believe. For processors... get something like Intel Core 2 Duo T9500 or T9600 or the Core 2 Quatros or Extremes. Extremes are intended for hardcore gaming and would be more expensive. For RAM you should have at least 2GB... you can always upgrade that later.
    For laptops my suggestions are:
    $3k+ get a customized alienware
    $2-3 get a customized dell xps, or macbook pro [although if you're gaming i would suggest you dual boot with windows xp or vista]
    $1-2k get a cheaper customized dell, or sony vaio
    under $1k... well I don't know what to say... you can't really get a nice gaming computer for under that price.
    I personally DO NOT like HP computers at all because they are so quirky and have so many problems and break down easily.

  • Video  App Freezes iPad 2

    Shouldn't the app state cannot play, rather than stay dark, become unresponsive and not allow other videos to play?? WEAK software --BUG fix! Discussion is full of this issue--where is the fix? The app used to play videos needs to be more ROBUST! Had to do a complete restore - not even owned for a week yet!

    New IPad2 here. Downloaded first film from iTunes store couple days ago. Started watching tonight. After 60 min the video froze. Backing it up a few minutes and playing again led to a second freeze at same spot. Third try: same result.
    Then tried sliding past the "freeze spot". This gave me a black screen. Now I cannot get past that black screen: not after quitting Videos App; not after iPad shut_down/restart; not after iPad reSET; not after all SETTINGS were reset and iPad again reSET.
    I think I'll try googling for how to delete a [pre-installed ] app. I'm not optimistic. May mean 90 min drive to a Genius bar

  • Newbie question about video quality in CS3

    I'm new to Premiere CS3. I've been using iMovie but wanted to move up to an app with more features and finer grained tuning. However, I'm having trouble getting my imported clips to maintain their quality. Don't know if I've got PrCS3 set up incorrectly or if I don't know enough about video formats.
    I'm running Premiere v3.2.0 (374) on a MacBook Pro, 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 3GB memory, OSX 10.6.6
    Here's my scenario:
    I have a video clip with the following specs: .mov, 720 x 480, H.264, 30fps, bitrate 244 (see screen shot below). It was captured from my computer using Snapz Pro X.
    I imported the clip into PrCS3 and was surprised the clip preview and composite preview were displayed at less quality than the original (even made sure the quality mode was set to "highest"). The video clip was squeezed a bit and the clean edges of my vector art were jagged. The entire thing seemed out of focus.
    I thought the exported video might be better quality. I exported the sequence using the following settings:
    But the results were no better (I've actually gotten better results using iMovie HD). Below is the final exported movie.
    Any help from the PrCS3 community would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    capturing from your computer would give you square pixel aspect ratio....and you're using an aspect ratio for SD TV ( ntsc ), so it is stretching ....no longer a perfect "circle" in the paw print...
    Your project setting should be made in custom / desktop ( dont use a preset )...and set it for 720x480 square pixels progressive ( no interleaving ), 29.97 fps...  the codec choice for rendering when you set up the project could be dealt with later on if this solves your basic problem..
    your export would then be the same as your project setting....720x480, progressive, square pixels, 29.97 or 30 fps ...should be good.
    one note: h264 is already "compressed" quite a bit....its a "delivery" format...for viewing ...not really meant to be edited...know what I mean ?  So you will lose some quality due to that stuff already being compressed...
    but your pixel aspect ratio being "fixed" with the above should improve what you see quite a bit.
    good luck

  • Downloaded Videos Don't Appear in Video App on iPad

    Please help, I've tried to research this everywhere and can't find an answer. I have purchased and downloaded many shows from the itunes store onto my iPad 2 and have previously successfully watched them.
    All of a sudden, not sure when, all the videos have disappeared from my Video App. Every time I check the App it says there are "No Videos" and that I can download videos from the the iTunes Store.
    I have tried to re-download previous purchases SEVERAL times and each time it indicates that it is downloading and then it completes but they are STILL not in my the Video App. Strange thing is that when I plug in my iPad onto my PC, the videos appear on my iPad icon there and I can watch the videos on my PC but can't find them on my iPad. I have tried to resync my iPad many times and transfer the videos from my Library back onto my iPad but each time the Video App is STILL empty.
    I know my iPad works because I have watched downloaded vidoes before. I'm just not sure where they went and when it happened, whether it was after I updated my OS or when my iPad power went down to 0% and shut down.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

    It sounds like you don't have videos actually on your device, but you use your device to stream those videos through a service to watch them on your device. What service are you using for your videos?

  • Noob question about launching apps

    Greetings all,
    Just made the switch to a Powerbook with OS X Tiger, and have a question about launching applications; specifically how to do so without using the mouse. On my Linux boxes (one at home, one at work), I do most of my work from the keyboard, without resorting to the mouse, even in Gnome or KDE.
    In Tiger, I can select applications on the desktop, but haven't been able to figure out how to launch them without "clicking"... I've Googled and searched these forums, but no luck so far. Under Linux, it's the Enter key. I assume in Tiger it's some key combination...
    I know there's probably a simple answer, but I've not been able to happen upon the appropriate key combo it at random, so I thought I'd ask the experts.
    Be gentle, I've only had my PB a week!

    To help you in your quest to keep your hands on the keyboard you should check out apps like LaunchBar and Quick Silver. Your hands will never (well... rarely) leave the keyboard again.
