Why does the brightness vary during video playback on iPad 4th gen?

Hi!
I've recently bought the iPad with Retina display. Updated the software, uploaded my music and all, but two days later after adding two episodes of a TV programme (also from iTunes) it looks like the brightness level goes down then comes back to normal then does it again, making it look like on the film set it's suddenly sunny then that the sun is hidden and so on so forth. It keeps happening with various videos. It's quite annoying and I'm not sure if anyone else has had this problem, so I was wondering if anyone has: is it a software fault or a problem with the iPad itself? (the latter would be really inconvenient as it is brand new) Or is there something that can be done?
Thanks!

Okay, thanks for the advice! I wonder if anyone else has had this problem and has had to take it to their local Apple Store?

Why does volume control show during video playback

I am playing a tutorial video for Cubase and I get a volume indicator which stays right in the middle of the screen and blocks some content while playing back the video. I don't need it and would like to know how to turn it off, but I have not found the secret setting to do so. Is anyone able to point me in the right direction. All the tutorials from this company do the same thing on my ipad. When i close the app the volume control goes away with it. There do not seem to be any internal settings within the app that would allow me to select on or off of this volume control display, and the general settings tab did not help either.
Thanks for any help you can offer. I am trying to remember the name of the company that created the video. I am afraid if I close this window to open ithe app I will lose my post, so I will post this much and try to find the company name and add it to a later post.
Steve

Macprovideo.com is the name of the company that produces these tutorials.
I am replying to my own post to give further info.
Thanks,

Why does the brightness turn up to max on its own?

I have an iPhone 5 with ios 7.1
I dont have auto brightness turned on and keep my brightness around 40% so I dont drain my battery and its as bright as I need it.
I noticed the brightness turning up to full brightness by itself whether im inside or outside and cant figure out why or how. Its very annoying.
I also turned it onto auto brightness to see if it would help but it is still doing it up to max by itself. Can anyone help please?

Exiting FULL screen is triggered by one of three things.
1. Pressing "ESC" on the keyboard - a "user input".
2. Clicking the "toggle" on the player interface, which placed the video into FULL screen - again, a "user input".
3. The page refreshing or new content loading in the page - can be "user input", or something like a javascript or ad in the page.
Since Chrome uses its own "proprietary" plug-in, which functions independently of the ActiveX (IE) and Standard Plug-in (Firefox), you can uninstall and reinstall all day long and it'll have no effect on Chrome. You can't download or update "PepperFlash" from here.
If you go to the Chrome Settings:
Click "Show advanced settings..."
and click "Reset browser settings"

Why does the Music app play videos too?

Hi,
I have been an iPod, iPhone and iPad user for quite some time, but I have always loaded my music into iTunes and transferred it manually.
Last week I took the plunge and bought my first iTunes album *applause*. I love it! Quality is awesome.
However, the album that I bought, has 5 audio tracks, and 5 video tracks. Now when I playback the album on my iPad or iPhone, it plays both the audio and video tracks. So effectively, I listen to each song twice.
This may be a stupid question but, how do I stop the music app from playing the videos?
Thanks!

i don't have any music in iCloud. I buy all my music through Amazon because it's DRM-free, download it to my PC, then put it on my phone.
i do just ignore the request and use it normally, I was just wondering why it wanted data access in the first place. iTunes radio makes sense. Thanks.

Why does the content of my video change when I render it?

i Have been trying to export a video, in my time line it looks great and the rendered version also looks fine except that one of the clips is different. I don't understand the problem. What is even more baffling is that I rendered it and it was not the same in QuickTime playback but then imported the file back into a new project and it looked right again? all of the clips in the video are from the same source so I'm pretty sure it is not a file issue.... Help

Maybe this is the wrong forum? It is a forum for Adobe Captivate.

Why does the sound stutter when video stream is OK?

How can I give priority to the sound signal?

did you put your Air to sleep with headphones attached, or closed the monitor with phones attached?
Do not sleep your Air (close the monitor with headphones attached) with headphones attached, this is known to affect some Air under Mavericks.
* this occurrence is being looked into.
Much testing on my own and others as well show that, in some instances, this occurs in Mavericks.
If you choose you may contact Apple for an appt and diagnostics.
However as said, refrain from having phones attached when you close the monitor to prevent this until it is resolved
Test this and re-verify
peace

Why does the remote app not work with Apple TV 1st gen anymore.

This is a review I just left on the app store, I am posting it word for word, and i hope that dowsnt complicate anything. My hope is that this finds the right party to address the situation, and if any user has a fix, I would love to hear it.
I have an Mac mini running iTunes as a server, I have 2 airport expresses to allowing airplay to them for different rooms, and I also have 2 Apple TV first gens... I can play one stream of music from the server, and have the option of playing 2 other streams of music from the apple tv's as they have a built in hard drive to sync music to. I can send any of the feeds to any o the devices in any room and i love it. This whole system used to work flawlessly... It doesn't anymore. The latest update of remote broke what was working so well. I can pull it up and see all 3 music sources, log into each and play music, no problem there. The problem is that when I want to log back into that device, it won't show what music is playing. It loads up to a trackpad... Why do I need a trackpad? the point of a wifi remote is that it interfaces directly with the library, not needing to see the display... Annoying enough in itself as none of my devices are actually hooked up to a screen, but whatever, annoying point aside, I back out of the trackpad and refresh the device playing music... The music is playing, but won't show on my remote, I can't pause, press next song or anything. I have to start over and pick a song and override the currently playing song. Even the volume control is broken. I used to control each volume of each of the multiple devices individually, they each had a slider in the multiple speaker view, now there is only one master volume slider... One speaker is in my baby's room... If she is sleeping I don't want to have to go into the room to physically adjust that speaker, I want an individual slider like there was before.
I used to be very happy with this app. I'm not anymore. I used to praise apple and promote the functionality of it to all of my friends. Now I'm just embarrassed when I can't control it when they are over. Embarrassed....
As another fail.... I want to describe another point. As I have the iTunes server, it should be able to handle multiple things at once. It can to an extent... For example, I can play music from the server to an airplay device, and I can go onto my iMac, load up iTunes, click on shared libraries ad load my entire library from my server. I ca also at the same time take my iPhone, click on music, and again pull up my entire shared library of music from the wifi server... It handles this very well. I recently purchased an Apple TV 3. As it does not have a built in hard drive, it relies on content from a locally attached network or stuff from your iTunes account. So while I can use my iPhone to pull up the entire shared library while its also playing elsewhere, why can Apple TV 3 not?... It's using iOS just like my iPhone. All it was good for was airplay as an extra speaker. It wouldn't work as an extra rendered source of media using the shared library. Needless to say, that Apple TV went back to the store. Fail Apple, Fail.... That was the only reason I bought one. Maybe Apple TV 4 will actually be functional without a hard drive.

Working fine on my system
If on wifi, try ethernet
Make sure router is up to date
Reboot all components

Why does the font change when importing to my ipad as a pdf

I have a publisher document with black chancery font which was not on my current computer so I installed the font. It now appears in my document and when I save it as a pdf it seems to be there. BUT when I send it to my iPad the font is not what it should be.

You need to make sure the font is embedded in the PDF. This is optional in some sofware.
If it is not embedded, your local font is used. No such local font exists on the iPad.

Why does auto brightness has a bug in iOS 7.1.1 . The brightness switches automatically to higher in bright places but not returns to lower brightness in dark places but when you lock and unlock it becomes normal

Hello,
Same problem for me. Really a pain in the *** this bug ! Does Apple fixed it. I'm really suprised noone reports this problem and apple does not adress this.
Because of that, I cannot give it anymore to children because it hurts the view. Really a shame on the part of apple !

Why does the phone change from landscape at 20 degrees? Horrible for watching videos laying down.

Very annoying non feature for the iPhone is the inability to lock video playback in landscape mode.

Sorry, I read your message too quickly. Most apps that show video automatically lock the screen in landscape; at least the built in youtube and a couple that I have do.

IPod 5G Freezes during Video Playback

iPod freezes during video playback. Does anybody else have this problem?
Usually freezes up about 10 minutes into a video, and then complety locks up. This usually requires 2 to 3 restarts untill it comes back working properly.

Mine does the same. It really only happens to me when I try to navigate thru menus when video is playing. I usually have to do a forced Reset. I truly think that introducing video on the iPod was not ready for primetime as it is very sluggish, buggy and sensitive during playbabck of video. No problems with music whatsoever but I am frustrated with the very finicky video qualities of this thing.
