So, I haven't attempted to listen to any tunes in a while.  At least since a version or two ago.

Anwayway, yesterday I did.  Exit app, leaving running in background, selected the music player and got some music going, clicked on the Nav icon to come back to iFly (same procedure I used in the past).

When the ifly app window came back is was sideways and only only a half screen with the window cut-off. Should have taken a picutre, may not have described that well.

i.e. Unit is Portrait, top half of portrait screen showed ifly rotated in a landscape orienation, bottom hald of screen showed a partial ifly start page, i.e. with the Nav, Musix, settings buttons.

I was able to repeat this.  Only fix being to unplug, poer down and restart.

Just to be clear, you're using portrait mode?

I'm in landscape mode and didn't have a problem.

I will be going on a long XC to see the eclipse in August and just loaded music onto the 740.  I'm thinking of buying an MP3 and/or video player that I can hook into the 740 or the intercom interface.

The only problems I see is that the manual shows that I should have a video icon along with the two Music and Photo icons I have.

Yes portrait I too used to use Landscape and had no issues. Portrait seems to be the issue. 

I went back out to the hangar tonight and took a picture. When you try to return to the ifly app the above is what you get.

I was unable to recreate this issue on my iFly 720.

It did however pause for a short second in the transition from Map view to Music view but did not freeze.

It could be that you have a lot of songs on that SD card. As I only have one.

Rotated left or right? Did you try both. I can't recall which way mine is rotated. Will check next time at airport,
