Hi everyone I have the the new ipad 2 and am having problems with the video. i bought a tv series and then when I synched with my computer i seem to have lost the series on my ipad but it is there on my computer. When I go to video it seems to be stuck in one of the episodes and I can not get back to view other episodes ...any suggestions would be appreciated!
By the way i am in Edinburgh and the weather today is wonderful very hot!
The weather is warm here too - half way between Aberdeen and Inverness. OK - we might need a bit more information. You say that you're 'stuck' in an episode. When you touch the screen in an episode - assuming it's not playing - you should see a little 'Done' button at the top left hand corner of the screen. Can you see that? If so, pressing it will take you back to the screen where you can choose which episode you want to watch.
If that doesn't work, try the 'cure most ills' fix-it....
The easiest first way to try to solve ‘unexplained’ or ‘unusual’ problems with the iPad are:-
Force the offending app to close. If you have iOS 4.2 or 4.3 double-press the ‘Home’ button to bring up the multi-task bar at the bottom of the screen. Press *and hold* any icon until they start to ‘jiggle’. Then tap the top left-hand corner of the app that you want to close. It will ‘disappear’ from the list. Don’t panic - you’ve not deleted it, just closed it. Now tap the Home screen and the multi-task bar will disappear. Re-open the iPad’s app and see if the problem has resolved itself. If not, it’s on to possible solution number two!!
Restart the iPad. Press *and hold* the Power button. After a couple of seconds a slider control will appear asking you to confirm that you really want to switch the iPad off (this is all you’ll be doing). Slide the control to accept. A rotating white ‘bezel’ will appear in the iPad screen as the iPad powers down (it takes a few seconds, just like it would if you were shutting down your PC). When the screen of the iPad has gone completely blank, press *and hold* the Power button for a couple of seconds until the white Apple logo appears and the iPad starts to power up. This takes several seconds, so be patient. During the power up the automatic screen orientation function is disabled, so don’t panic. A few seconds before the power up is complete, the iPad plays a little ‘jingle’ and then you’re back to the Home screen. Restart the iPad’s app and see if the problem persists. Apple (and Forum members) recommend that you power down your iPad at least once a week, just as you might regularly completely switch off your PC. The normal procedure of just briefly pressing the Power button of the iPad merely puts it to ‘sleep’. Most Forum members have found that one of the two methods I’ve mentioned here cure a whole bunch of unexplained problems and are an easy first step to resolving most anything that happens on the iPad.
Get back if none of these work and enjoy the sun...
