Videos not displaying full screen

I downloaded SD videos from Itunes on my Ipad2 and they will not load full screen. Their is no option to touch to make go full screen or turning the device sideways does not move the movie either. How do I get the movie to play full screen?

Hi,
Are you playing videos ? Some videos may have black bands around. Now using this to test:

Movies in itune will not display Full screen on macbook?

My itune movies always played full screen when I selected full screen option.
For some reason- today it does not.
When I select the Full screen option - the display goes into Full screen mode, but the video image is small- in the center of the screen. (?)
I'm not sure what has happened. I have not changed any settings. I did install some updates.
Please help.

I'm having just the reverse effect. I want to see my iTunes movies in the smaller size. It automatically opens in full screen and when I choose the arrows to make it smaller, it stops playing. Let me know if you get any info.

Why do music videos not play full screen when not in video app on iPad and iPhone? video app is worthless, cannot sort or build playlists.

Is there a way to build video playlist within itunes that will play full screen or landscape? I do not like the video app.

Greetings avilation,
Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like when you stream videos to your iOS devices using Home Sharing, you only get either video or audio.
You can find some troubleshooting steps that may help this situation on this page:
Troubleshooting Home Sharing - Apple Support
I'd recommend starting with Step 4 (Check your network connection) in this guide.
Best Regards,
Jeremy

Video Not Displaying Full Page

http://dim.lamp.utoronto.ca/introducing/#introducing-acorn
I have a video at the top of a site I'm working on embedded as a mp4 & ogv. Chrome & Safari shows the video fine full page. In Firefox, there are black bars to the left and right of the video. How do I remove this? This shows that the video isn't playing the full page width.
I'm guessing it's some sort of CSS fix?

@guigs2 Thanks. Is there an update on this?

Firefox will not open full screen

Firefox will not maximize. I can mouse over it on the task bar and see it opened. But it will not display full screen or even part of the screen.

You use an out-of-date Firefox version. Update Firefox to 3.6.13. You'll have more details in [[Updating Firefox]].

Want Keynotes' presenter's display to be NOT in full screen

Hello,
I do live music shows on a Single MacBook Pro. Retina Display, Running 10.10.1
In my show I run Keynote for visuals (always on a secondary large TV via HDMI out) and I run Audio via MainStage from the Logic Suite.
I want to be able to exit work in MainStage, (switching songs, changing volumes etc.) WITHOUT interrupting Keynotes Video display or pictures, text, videos etc.
How can I do this.
The only way to play a slide show is to play it, and when it plays it automatically turns the presenter's display to full scree, thereby locking me out of access to MainStage, or any other software.
Any way to play a Keynote slide show NOT in full screen for the presenter's display????
please help.

When Keynote is in play, no other applications will be seen as Keynote takes over complete control of the graphics system, if you switch from Keynote to another application, Keynote will be hidden. Keynote has always worked this way.
We use two Macs to be able to display Keynote and a second application.

Video iChat for Full Screen presentation in dual-display mode

I plan on giving a presentation and want to use video iChat with a special effects background projected using dual display mode. I find that if I use video preview in iChat, that I can't enter full screen mode (this would look best when projected). It seems you can only enter full screen if connected to a buddy in iChat, which I don't want for the presentation.
Any thoughts on how to accomplish this, or maximize the appearance?
Thanks.

Hi,
You want the Flipped pic that iChat gives you but using the Preview only as you do not require an actual chat to make a Presentation.
Ideally you would like that to be Full Screen but the Preview only does not do full screen.
Adding a second Screen in the form a Projector and mirroring is possible.
This of course would allow you present a "Live Feed" as it were.
Do you gave Quicktime Pro ?
This allows you to set a window to Full Screen even if not actually recording, but shows what the camera sees. (albeit not Flipped like iChat although iGasses can fix that.
I would also look at some of the options on this page

Why won't video display full screen?

I've imported an mp4 file into Premiere elements 7, burnt it to DVD, but when I view it on TV there's large black areas all around the video. i thought it was the TV setting, played around with those, but couldn't get it to display full screen.
I've looked at the video again in preview, and it's the same when I preview it, so I'm guessing it might be a Premiere Elements setting or a laptop setting? Note this is the first time I've tried it on a new laptop - the old one was nicked when we were burgled :-(
I've done a clean install of premiere elements and just gone from there, so do I need to do something after install maybe?
Any help much appreciated
thanks

You say that you created your .mp4 (photos and videos) in Windows Movie Maker. However, please verify that since Windows Movie Maker does not appear to offer a .mp4 export choice...they all seem to be .wmv or dv.avi. If you miswrote on this point, the discussion of .mp4 and Premiere Elements becomes a non issue.
(The above seems to be true if you are using the Windows Live Movie Maker instead of Windows Movie Maker, but in the case of Windows Live Movie Maker there is no longer an option for dv.avi, just .wmv.)
When creating a Premiere Elements project for export to file saved to the computer hard drive or burn to disc,
a. Determine the properties of your source media (video and audio compression, frame size, frame rate, file extension, pixel aspect ratio, etc)
b. Set the Premiere Elements project preset (new project dialog) to match the properties of those source media.
c. Check...does my source media fill the space provided in the Edit Mode Monitor for editing purposes.
d. When exporting, if workflow is for 16:9 Widescreen, then be sure to set for a preset for Widescreen burn to or, if workflow is 4:3 standard, then a preset for Standard burn to.
I suspect that your problems are in regard to set up of your project rather than .mp4 versus other wrapper formats.
But let us see by looking at the details revisited.
Thanks.

Startup display not in full-screen

After connecting my Macbook Pro with Retina to an external display, the start-up screen was not in full-screen anymore. But when the startup is complete, the display returns to full-screen. May I know how to fix this problem? Thank you in advance.

Try double clicking in the Toolbar.

Display full-screen controls NOT visible

I exported my keynote presentation as a QuickTime full-screen movie. In Preferences, I have the controls checked to display full-screen controls and to never hide them. They do not show up anywhere. I also set the presentation as a slideshow to control the presentation using the arrow keys and they do not show up. In the Guide it states that as long as "Display full-screen controls" is selected in QT Player Preferences, you can make hidden controls appear by moving the pointer. They don't.
Any help out there would be appreciated...I have a deadline to meet!

Huh, I didn't realize you had to format a flash drive for a Mac, I'll check that out.
O.K. I may have something that I said I was going to try...I unlocked the file, changed *_My* permission_, the Staff and Everyone else to "Read Only" privileges, then locked again. I then zipped it and sent it to my son this morning. He said he could open it, change it but it would not allow him to save it! I'm going to test it further somehow but I don't know anybody else that has a Mac w/Keynote '08. Do you have Keynote 08? Can I send it to you to test (it would be alot easier) or to someone in the Keynote discussion area?
This message should now have a subject line..."Keynote presentation to CD to be accessed, but not changed?" When this all began, I searched discussions in Keynote on this and found nothing with a concrete answer, only that you cannot save a keynote presentation as password protected. I posted twice and no one answered. I think this part of our discussion will help Keynote people.
*Back to your area of expertise and my original question!*... Can you still look to see what key commands force the HUD for me for my QuickTime Movie as Slideshow? I know they could not change that, but the arrow controls would have to be displayed. I don't know what HUD means but I'm going to search too... I found this link: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/QuickTime/Conceptual/QT7-2Update_Guide/NewFeaturesChangesEnhancements/chapter_2_section9.html
Could you take a look and see if this is what I need? I do have Mac OS X v10.5.4 and QT v7.5 and my Preferences window does not have a recording tab but my Full screen window looks that same. When I view my A/V controls it also doesn't view as in figure 1-8. I'm confused again! QT 7.5 is the latest version, isn't it?

I'D LIKE TO VIEW SAFARI WHERE I CAN STILL DISPLAY MY DOCK AND MENU BAR...DO NOT WANT FULL SCREEN. HOW DO I DO THIS?

You can also go up to "View," and look all the way down to "Exit Full Screen."
Command+Control+f will toggle it off and on.

When I updated my iPhone 4s the picture of the person calling me is no longer displayed full screen. I do not like the small thumbnail picture. What can I do about this?

When I updated my iphone 4s the picture of the person calling me is no longer displayed full screen and the thumbnail picture is too small. Is there anything I can do to change this?

Yes, hopefully.. Go to www.apple.com/ feedback and let them know how upset you are!! I did along with many others. It's the only way to let Apple know they made a HUGE mistake here..

Youtube Center will not allow videos to play full screen

Hello, I have Youtube Center 2.1.0 and have enjoyed it for some time. I began using it when YT videos no longer played, I could hear the sound perfectly but there was no picture. Someone here advised trying the YT Center and that solved all my probs for a while. Till now.
Lately the right-hand column containing the related links covers up about a third of the YT picture which plays fine in the background underneath this column... There is no means to push it away! Someone else commented about a similar prob; it seemed when they were NOT logged in to their Youtube account, this issue happened, but when they were logged in it caused the white column to get out of the way! I tried that, it seemed to work, the white column was repositioned. But not anymore. The exception is when I visit a bookmarked YT video, then all is well and the column is down where it belongs. But anything that is NOT bookmarked has that links column covering the picture! I suppose if I were to download videos that I view, it would stop this issue. But I don't always wish to do that...
I use Windows 8.1 and so far as I know, everything is up to date...
TIA,
Rosebud

Hi rosebud55,
Thank you for your question. I understand that there are some issue with unbookmarked youtube videos not displaying properly when you use the Youtube Center 2.0 add on.
Please check the preferences of the add on and if this does not change anything, please also contact the developer of the add on for more help on under the "Support email" listed on the add on page:
