Why can't I turn off video stabilisation on the iphone 5?

I'm sorry but this feature is absolute garbage. If I wanted to stablilise my video I'd do it myself, or hold my hand steadier. You basically can't film anything worthwhile without this crap ruining my video. As it's completely automatic, it basically doesn't work...like the auto focus on a camera. It's just terrible.
Apple have desperately tried to advertise the camera on the phone to be great, so great you can shoot your own video projects on it...but you can't, because of this **** auto stabilising nonsense. Some people might want to use it, like those with overly shaky hands, or those who don't mind their video digitally zoomed in, but I do not.
Please, give me the ability to turn it off so I can do a simple track of someone skating down the street.
Thanks. 
p.s. I also saw someone say "Why would you want to turn it off? That's like asking for a single core processor as opposed to the current one." No, this isn't the same thing. Idiot.
p.p.s Also, if I can turn this off and I'm just too ******** to find it, then fine, I apologise for my outburst.

    While I know there are phones that can do this, they really are not powered "off" - they are more in a hybernation state.  However, the iPhone has never worked that way.  Off on an iPhone means truly powered off - nothing is still running so there is no minimal function left ticking away to wake up the phone and sound the alarm.

    why does my ipod turn off when I dim the backlight?

    Probably because you do not have the headphones plugged all the way in. Make sure the plastic on the headphone jack is flush with the body of the Nano.
    Incidentally, you are not running iOS 1.x

    How do I turn off location services on the iPhone 6?
    Yes I already went to Settings > Privacy > Location Services, is not allowing me to turn it off.
    And yes I have disable the restrictions too.

    When I tapped the screen, there was a symbol on the left that looked like arrows going in a circle and on the right were the arrows crossed. The crossed arrows were orange, when I tapped this orange symbol, it turned to white and the songs STOPPED shuffle.

  • New owner of MBP, why can't you turn off the keyboard backlight in Win 7?

    I'm a new owner of MBP. I have Windows 7 64bits installed on bootcamp. The keyboard backlight is really bothering me. I thought Boot Camp was out for awhile, and I don't know why can't Apple fix this backlight control thing? I downloaded that power assistant software and I liked it; however, I was turned off that it wasn't a freeware. What can I do to turn this backlight off permanently?

    Well... seems like pre-2010 MBPs all had 'non-disablable' keyboard backlights on Windows. Installing BC 3.1 won't help at all. You could temporary minimize backlight level, but not turn it off. And on just any ambient light change it jumps back to maximum. Extremely erratic
    A friend of mine got a 2010 MBP and he's able to turn backlight off. I've got mid-2009 model with BC 3.1, and I can't. My another friend has late-2008 model, he can't turn the backlight off, either.
    I agree, ideally powerplan7 should have been a freeware. However, although I did spend $10 on a key, I'm oh-so-happy right now. With backlight disabled And since there are no alternatives AT ALL, I'm glad they're not selling this software for, say, $25.

  • Why can't I turn off my iPod???

    Recently I went on a camping trip and charged my iPod in a friend's car with an apple charger. ever since I can't turn it off by holding the play/pause button. I've tried reseting it yet it just turns back on and I still can't turn it off. I even restored the iPod from iTunes. I tried running out the battery and fully recharging it and still have the problem. This is a refurbished iPod that Geek Squad sent to replace the one I bought that had other problems. What do I do??
    5th gen 30GB iPod Video   Windows XP  

    Hi Fredburger,
    You may need to try letting your iPod's battery fully drain down, all the way until you finally reach the "Low battery" screen on your iPod.
    Then, when it's finally run out of charge, connect it to your computer, and let it stay connected and recharging there for a full 4 hours.
    Afterward, disconnect it from your computer (be sure to eject it from your computer, if needed), and try seeing if it will turn off.
    Any success with trying that?

  • Why can't you turn off the new message indicator on any of the blackberry devices?

    i can't believe that i cannot turn off having my blackberry notifiy me when i get an email.  at the top of the homescreen i either get a "Message Count" or if I turn this off i get the little red asterik alert folder appearing, plus the mail icon gets a red asterik on it.  i don't want to see this and i know that many other users feel the same way. 
    has anyone figured out a way to turn this off?  if not, how can we let blackberry know they need to fix this in future models?  there are message boards all over the internet with this same complaint. 
    a little more background: 
    - the issue is on a saturday afternoon when i grab my phone to make a call, i don't want to see a little red asterik notifying me that i have a new message.  i also don't want to see a running count all the time.
    - i tried turning off the data plan part so new messages wouldn't reach me, but the problem with that is when i later turn the data plan back on, the new messages are not then sent.  they never each my phone.  seems the server tries sending them once and if the data plan is turned off they don't make it, but never make it.
    i hope someone at blackberry reads this and they make this simple change in a future model.  i'll upgrade to it immediately when they do.  i love the device but hate being constantly reminded of new messages.

    Hi dplindsey, and welcome to the foams!
    It's also time for the 1am Eaddicts meeting to start
    Here's the deal, Turn off all the notification, ring tones, led''s for emails.
    Go to the main homescreen and hit the menu key twice select make a folder.
    Go to your main message queue icon, highlight it and press menu, select MOVE.
    Move the Icon in to folder.  TA DA!   It's GONE
    Data plan is good so you can still browse the web. Emails are stil getting delivered so you arent missing any.
    What do you think?
    If you need more information, please ask

  • Why can a thief turn off an iPad when it is in lost mode?

    So My I pad mini with cellular was stolen from my house.  Silly me I did not have it pass code locked in the home.  But as soon as I noticed it was stolen I put it in lost mode.  The thief did not connect it to a network.  Then about 2 weeks later they connected it to a network I am guessing they took it out of airplane mode and the cellular connected.  So It went into lost lock down mode.  Great.......But what good does that do me when all they have to do is turn off the iPad????? and then I can not track it anymore.  I mean come on What is the purpose of leaving the power button active when it is in lost mode?  All that does it make it so no one can use the iPad and I can not catch the thief.  Another great option for this would that it would also send a GPX file that I could get and then find out who has my iPad.  That movement file would give lots of info like was the person moving when they turned it on i.e. in their car driving down a street and then turned it off or was it at one location for 20 minutes then they turned it off.  Again what good is a lost mode that all you need to get around is a power button.... High tech....I would like you to meet low tech......

    I wouldn't suggest going to get it yourself. You could find yourself in a situation you cannot get out of and could get hurt. Second, as stated before, it is more for misplaced or lost devices, not stolen devices. Many police agencies do not feel they have probable cause, just from your statement on a map location to justify attempts to recover the device. There have been many posts from others who have had devices stolen where the police will not confront someone based on that map location. I understand you are impacted by the theft, but this is what we have insurance for. To protect your content, from now on I suggest you put a passcode on the device. I hope you have changed all of the passwords for accounts you had on the device, since all of your content and data was accessible to the thief.

  • How can I turn off noise cancellation in the iPhone 5C?

    I'm having trouble finding the noise cancellation on this iPhone. I know you're supposed to go into settings, then general, under accessibilty, and it's supposed to be the last option under hearing but it's not there. I'm not sure if I can find it somewhere else or not. I have found it on the iPhone 5S just not on the 5C. It is interfering with my FaceTIme conversations and I'd like to be able to turn it off.

    I'm not certain if the 5C has the noise cancellation. If you look at the back of the phone near the camera, do you see a small hole there? I'm wondering since you do not locate the switch in Settings. Also, I'm curious as to how it is interferring with your FaceTime calls. I'm not doubting your word, I would just like to know how it is doing that.

  • HT4913 If the music library on my iPhone will be deleted when I enable iTunes Match, does that mean that I will not be able to access that music library when I temporarily turn off iTunes Match on the iPhone, e.g., when on the subway & can't connect to Ma

    I have subscribed to iTunes Match and have employed it to listen to music on my Macbook Air and iMac.  On these devices it seems to operate by streaming music to the device rather than deleting the device's current iTunes library and downloading songs as they are played from iTunes Match. Not so on the iPhone as far as I can tell. Consequently, to date I have not activated iTunes Match on my iPhone 4S.  I presently have 40-50GB's of music on my iPhone, sync'd from my iTunes music library on my Macbook Air.  I am concerned that if I enable iTunes Match on my iPhone I will lose the music library already on my iPhone, as Apple seems to be representing that once iTunes Match is enabled on the iPhone the current music library, carefully compiled, will be gone from the iPhone forever (unless I later re-sync it from the iTunes library on my laptop), that it will be deleted.  Although this would free up a lot of space on my iPhone, I bought the 64GB phone just so that I could keep a lot of music on it and accessible at all times.  I am concerned that in certain instances, say if I am in the subway and want to listen to music on my iPhone but  don't have internet access below ground, that I won't have much music to listen to, only those songs previously played and thus downloaded onto the phone from iMatch, presenting me witrh a rather limited choice of music to play instead of the 40-50GB's I now have to choose from. Apple seems to have presented me with the choice of the lesser of 2 evils: i) enable iTunes Match and lose the music library already on the iPhone in exchange for access to iTunes Match and a greater number of songs than I can fit onto the phone (my library exceeds the phone's capacity) when a Cloud connection is available or ii) don't enable iTunes match and limit myself to only those songs, a considerable portion of my library to be sure but not all of it, that I can fit in the phone's storage space, i.e., the 40-50 GB's I have on there now.  If I choose the latter course, each time I purchase an album I'll have to delete another album to make room for it on the phone.  Apple thus offers me a sort of Hobson's choice, bad all the way around.  Do I have this right? The Apple techs I've spoken to don't seem to have a handle on the "deletion" aspect of enabling iTunes Match on the iPhone.   Right now, I'm too scared of "losing" my iPhone music library to enable iTunes Match on the iPhone. [Possible work-around, albeit a pain in the ***: I suppose that I can enable iTunes Match on the iPhone and spend the next couple of weeks 24/7 downloading songs from my iTunes Match library back onto the phone to replace at least some of those deleted when Match was enabled, thereby rebuilding a proxy library on the phone itself to play when I'm stuck in a tunnel between Brooklyn and Manhattan while maintaining access to thee larger iTunes Match library, more music than my phone will hold, once we come back into the light and my Cloud connection is restored.] Comments, suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you.

  • Any way to turn off SHUTTER SOUND on the iPhone 4 camera???

    Is there any way possible to turn off the shutter sound on iPhone 4 without affecting the other sounds?

    Turning the switch on the side to Silent works for me. However, there may be national laws involved. In some places it is required that cameras make a sound when a photo is taken. Your profile doesn't say where you are, but this might be an issue.

  • Tired of Spam/Idiotic Alerts That Can't Be Turned Off

    I subscribe to MyFico and am tired of idiotic alerts that can't be turned off.  One of the most basic rules about alerts is that you alert people about "events", not "non-events", otherwise people start ignoring the alerts and when they are important don't read them.  As an example, if I have an alarm system I don't want to be alerted that "your alarm system didn't go off today", that would be idiotic, I want to be alerted when it does go off! Likewise, I don't want to receive 3 alerts every week telling me my "credit report was all clear this week", I want to receive alerts if something showed up on my credit report!  I am going to guess the user experience genius who was involved in creating this thought sending people endless ridiculous alerts would make it seem like we are getting more for our money, but it's just the opposite. But the worst thing is your alert setttings don't give the user any way to turn these idiotic alerts off. Rant off!

    Although I'm not sure what the big deal is here, perhaps your email account can filter those out for you? If I chose to ignore those alerts, I'm sure I could easy filter them in my GMail account.
