Recent netflix upgrade forces landscape mode. now unable to watch on a docking station

it doesnt make sense for netflix to force landscape mode to view movies. The ipad is designed to be able to be viewed in both landscape and portrait and there is a plug at the bottom of the ipad to charge and allow it to dock in an upright position. PLease how can we tell netflix to change it back?> Netflix support tells me it is Apple who changed it but i cant talk to Apple unless i pay money .
any APP developers listening?

I'd love to see your copy of your conversation with Netflix, schwartz43o.
I have been trying to talk to Netflix CS via Twitter about this issue since the April update. Every time I mention it, at first, they are all confused and ask me if I'm getting an error message. Then they come back and say, "Oh, yeah. We removed that feature. Thanks for the feedback; we'll pass it on." The absolute worst response was when I mentioned the Kindle Fire allows portrait viewing. "Some tablets have different capabilities, but we are constantly striving for a uniform experience." Um, hello. We HAD a uniform experience until you took it away.
I don't understand what the "post play" feature has to do with screen orientation. Granted, I'm not a programmer, developer or any kind of computer whiz. But I would like to think that those two areas would be separate from each other.
I'd honestly trade the two seconds it takes me to hit play on the next episode, for the ability to utilize my iPad's portrait orientation the way I want to.

  • I have just formatted by toshiba hardrive to Mac OS extended as recommended so I could upload movies onto it from my mac however I am now unable to watch these movies through my set top box like I could previously.  How can I fix this?

    Check the box's documentation to find out what drive formats it's capable of reading. Very few, if any, non-Apple devices natively support drives formatted as Mac OS Extended.

    Recently updated to the latest firmware ios7 now unable to open the keynote files which i am getting from my collegues.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • My IPhone 4 with OS 5 recently quick going to landscape mode in messaging

    Hi,
    Up until two days ago my messages where able to go to landscape mode.  I know the gyroscope is still functioning as Safari, pictures, etc, all go in and out of landscape mode.  I have double click the home key and scrolled right to verify that the landscape mode was not locked.  Yet it still won't go into landscape mode in either recieving messages or creating new ones.  Any ideas?

    Found in another post simply hold home key and power button to reboot IPhone.  Worked like a charm.

  • Upgraded to iOS 7 now unable to read pdf

    I recently upgraded to the iOS 7.0.3 and I am unable to view pdf files with Safari's native pdf viewer.
    Is there any help or am I lost to the search for yet another app?

    All of my husband's contacts were gone when he updated, and his son helped him figure out how to copy them over from his Contacts list on his desktop Mac. Mine were fine until a few days after I updated, then I suddenly found a completely empty Calendar AND Contacts list for absolutely no apparent reason. (One minute I'm checking on a text in Urgent Care, an hour later - after not using the phone at all - I'm standing in line at a pharmacy, someone who I know calls me, and her name doesn't show up. I opened my calendar to set up an appt with her and the whole freaking thing was empty!
    I has synched (backed up) my phone about a month ago, so I did I again, assuming that would restore my data. Nope. For some reason I tried it again, and it worked. I'm still missing anything I put in since my backup, but it's still way better than nothing.

  • Help Upgrade to Maverick fails - now unable to restore from time machine as well

    Hello,
    I have an iMac (2008) which was running snow leopard. The App store reminders to upgrade for free to Mavericks got me today and I decided to go with the upgrade. After the down load of the s/w and while rebooting, it prompts for user id and password.
    My iMac has always had an user id and a password. But strangely it would not accept the valid password for the user id. I have retried it several times and it will not accept the password. Not knowing how to proceed, I wanted to revert back.
    So I pop in the Snow Leopard bootup DVD and when it starts, I connect to my wifi and choose utilities to perform a time machine restore. The backup was done just prior to my upgrade to mavericks. I am able to mount my external network storage and locate the time machine backup and choose the disk to restore to and the process starts and after a few minutes it aborts.
    There is a log file that is shown - but the contents are not easily understood.
    Now I have and iMac that is not functional. I am looking for some help.
    I would be open to installing Mavericks from scratch - but I do not have the bootable USB. I would like to use my network drive and use that to start my computer with Mavericks and then possibly extract the data from my time machine backup. I am hoping that the restore of my data files / pictures / documents etc can be restored from time machine.
    Any ideas how I can proceed from here? Thanks in advance.

    MichelPM,
    Have been offline all along. I resorted to your advice and went with installing Snow Leopard on the external hard drive booting the system on that.
    I first tried recovering my Time machine backup - but did not work. So I ended up installing Mavericks on the internal hard drive on my iMac first. Then I was able to connect to my Time machine backup and restored all my data and documents. I chose not to recover the applications. The only useful app that I used was office for mac 2011. I went to microsoft's website to do a fresh install of office for mac 2011 and I am back in business.
    Overall a painful way to get an upgrade done. On to my next task - preparing a bootable drive with Mavericks and to back up on Time machine.
    Thank you for your suggestions.

  • P67A-GD65 (B3) - Flashed to BIOS 4.2 & upgraded to ME8. Now unable to OC SB...

    Hey All,
    I've done a bit of research on the forum and can see many people are having issues with the new BIOS versions and the older boards.  However, I upgraded before reading them, as I assumed that everything would work perfectly!  Anyway, I upgraded my BIOS using the file and following the notes provided on the MSI website (I am not allowed to post external links!).
    I first upgraded the BIOS.  I then upgraded to ME8 via the MSI tool.  I then installed the latest ME8 from the Intel website.  Device manager shows I am running 8.1.0.1263.
    Before upgrading I was running a solid 4.5Ghz on my SB 2500K.  However now the BIOS will not allow me to change the CPU multiplier or the voltages for the CPU & RAM etc.  When trying to change the CPU multiplier, I am only given an Auto option, and when exiting that small window an error is displayed:
    error
    invalid input range
    When clicking on the options to change the voltages, nothing appears...
    Does anyone know how to work around?  I've not yet tried downgrading the BIOS, as I do prefer the new version and would like to to work.  I have tried clearing the CMOS, resetting to defaults and starting the BIOS configuration again with no luck.
    Thanks!

    Question-1: Can the "MSI Forum HQ USB flashing tool" prepare a USB-stick under Windows-8 x64 ?
    Dunno its not tested there.

    Question-2: Can I flash back to V1.19 ME7 with the option Utilities in the current UEFI-BIOS-screen V4.1
    then choose the DOS-USB-stick, and perform the command: AFUDE238.EXE E7681IMS.1J0
    no

    Question-3: Or is it possible to perform this command simply when booted in plain DOS via the USB-stick
    no

    What is your advise?
    run the tool in some computer with supported OS to prepare the necessary stuffs,
    then attach the stick in your mobo which you are planing to flash and flash it

    The Tool is designed to work with MSI Retail Boards & Laptops only.
    yes, but you can prepare the necessary stuffs in any computer

  • I am running acrobat 7.0 pro - my hdd recently crashed without warning - i am now unable to re-activate my acrobat 7.0 pro - help please...thanks in advance.

    Hello - I am trying to re-activate my acrobat 7.0 pro on my new hdd after my old hdd crashed. Can anyone help: thanks in advance ...russ22

    Hi russ22,
    There's a lot of that going around lately (hard drive crashes). Sorry to hear that!
    It sounds like you've reached the maximum activations allowed, and because your hard drive crashed, of course you can't deactivate the copy that was installed there. But don't worry--Customer Care should be able to take care of that deactivation for you. Please Contact Customer Care.
    Best,

  • I have recently downloaded 4.3.3 (I think this is the most recent) on my iPhone 4, however it won't play through my docking station even when it's charging! How can I fix this?

    Can anyone tell me how to resolve this?

    I didn't think of this earlier, but if it makes any difference: the PC I'm running iTunes on and have had this iPhone connected to is running Windows 7 Ultimate.

  • My screen stays in landscape mode watching Netflix and won't switch to portrait like all other video sites (Amazon Prime) does. Any way to fix?

    My screen stays in Landscape mode watching Netflix and won't switch to Portrait like other video sites like Amazon Prime does.  It is not locked so I don't know why this happening.  Any help is appreciated.

    I can't swear to this because I do not have the Netflix app, but I believe that the most recent upgrade to the app requires you to watch the movies in landscape mode now and it cannot be changed.

  • Start app in landscape mode locked and later enable autoOrients

    Hi!
    I want to start my app in landscape mode locked and when an effect finished unlocks autorients to true and the user can change the orientation.of the device.
    I have tried few things but i can't get it. My descriptor file contains:
    <aspectRatio>landscape</aspectRatio>
    <autoOrients>false</autoOrients>
    And in my code when the effect is finished:
    stage.autoOrients = true
    When i play my app in desktop it run but later running it in a phisichal device (playbook) orientation its ever locked.
    ¿Is posible lock orientation (and force landscape mode) and later unlock orientation?
    Thanks so much!

    You should be able to do this now (AIR 2.6). The Stage.autoOrients property used to be read-only, but now it is writable. The main gotcha is that when you set Stage.autoOrients to false, the exact result is device-dependent. You might have it lock to the current orientation, or it might switch to the device default orientation and lock to that (you can still use setOrientation() to change, though). In my limited testing (3 devices), it has always done the latter (portrait is the default on phones, landscape on tablets).

  • I have Netflix and amazon video accounts but unable to view, due to a http configuration

    Just purchased and downloaded Netflix and amazon instant video but unable to watch due to an http configuration. What do I do?

    Amazon video and netflix apps are free.
    They are region restricted.
    If you do not live in a supported region you can not use the service.
    What http configuration problem are you having?
    Are you trying to violate terms of service by using a proxy?
