    Hi Dave,

    I’d love to look at your video but once again it won’t open on my iPad. This is a new problem that has been happening with the last several videos. I’ve commented on this several times along with many others but we are not getting any response. Is someone trying to fix this? Please ask someone to test these videos on the iPad before putting them on you web site.

    Thanks,
    Lee

    With the exception of Matt’s 4/6 entry, the last five videos don’t play on the iPad. Prior to that everything was fine.

    For those of you that are having problems with the i-pad and Quick Time Videos I do not think that it is a problem with this site. I just ran a couple of searches on the web about this and it appears that you have a lot of company playing any Quick Time movies. You might want to check this Apple link https://discussions.apple.com/message/15171892#15171892
    - and or – you manual ( for i-pad 2 ) online @ http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_2_user_guide.pdf

    I could be wrong but just do a Google search or check with the folks at Apple Support if you have a contract .

    Good Luck

      This wasn’t helpful. This isn’t an issue of not being able to play any of the Quick Time movies just the last few entries.

        Hi Lee,

        I can understand how you feel as I had gone through the issue myself. Please follow the 1st link above by Mendel A – in there, there is a note by ‘Stress test’ right at the end. follow what is written/shown in the last screen shot – ie to convert to ipad format in itunes and then sync with your ipad. Hope that helps. If you get stuck please ask…cheers :)

        I appreciate the attempts to help but you aren’t understanding the issue. I can upload the .mov files to my iPad and they play just fine.

        The issue is that a few of the recent tutorials won’t “stream” from the website to my iPad. Having said that, Liz’s most recent tutorial on Page Curling streamed just file. The PSEUser staff just needs to figure out what they did right on that one and keep doing it. It would also be nice if they fixed the problem tutorials.

        I’m sure that there are lots of iPad users that would like to enjoy these great tutorials.

    Thank-you Dave, excellent video. You had said that one can download free brushes….can you recommend where I can find free downloads?

    Thanks for your reply, Lee. I have the same situation. Page Curl came across just fine. The others, just goes to a blank screen with a play button, with a line through it.

    I can’t view these videos either on my iPad. Only a few are viewable.
