Apple TV picture is cropped on sides

Have just moved Apple TV into a new location and the picture is cropped on both sides, have tried all the available settings within the Apple TV menu, and the tv'is menu

AppleTV shows widescreen by default. If the source material is 4:3 however you will get black bars to show it properly without stretching horizontally. Is tghis all content/menus or just some things.
Assuming widescreenrdinarily I would expect this issue to be due to you having selected a 4:3 aspect ratio on the TV itself though sounds as though you have checked for that - if not do that first.
I would look at the Settings for audio and video and see what resolution is listed - on a TV it should be 720p or 1080p, but other devices may have different options I've found.
AppleTV has no 4:3 output selection option itself.

Oh!
First thing I think would be to do a search for the folder in case it's somehow got moved.
Failing that, you can retrieve the folder from your original installer disc using Pacifist.
Insert the disc (don't boot from it) and open the installer package with Pacifist. Navigate to the Desktop Pictures folder (might be a bit more fiddly to find in the package structure). When you find it, select the folder, right-click (or ctrl-click) and select 'install in default location' from the context menu.
Exit Pacifist and eject the disc.
Best of luck!

HELP! 20" Cinema orig. Apple product pictures needed

Unfortunately this is not a joke. I have sold my former 20" Cinema Display on Ebay. I used what i believed to be original Apple product pictures of the Cinema Display in my Ebay auction. 2 months later - a few days ago - i received a registered mail from a law firm. They are preparing a lawsuit against me. Claiming i had used copy-right protected images. The guy who claims to have the copyright is an Ebay-Shop owner.
Thus i hope anyone can identify the pictures here as clearly the property of Apple. I would be infinitely grateful if anyone came up with a screenshot or a pdf of an archived / older version of the Apple homepage showing exactly those images of the back than new Apple Cinema Aluminum enclosure Display line.
Here are the pictures in question:

IPhoto '11: Vertical (portrait) pictures are cropped in a slideshow.

All portrait and landscape pictures in my library and albums are not cropped, yet when I play a slideshow, the portrait pictures are cropped. The landscape ones are not. Some of my subjects heads are partially cut off! Does anyone know how to fix this?

What is the theme you are using? Some themes, like reflections, will crop the slides that do not fit into the templates.
Try, if using a different theme will help.

I'd like to print an 8x12 and cut it in half to make two 4x12 panorama type pictures. Is there any way to combine two pictures (each cropped to 4x12) into one frame so I can print out the 8x12 and trim it after printing?

To clarify, I want to be able to make a flie I can take to a photo printing place (not for my own printer) so they can print it and I crop it. The place I used to print at used to print an 8"x12" for the same price as 8"x10" (now they may only do 8x10 and I would need to keep the ratio the same so it would be two 3.3"x10" pics on an 8x10"). Any help is veryappreciated!

Apple TV Picture now too big for the 16/9 screen, wrong resolution ?

Now that I've added a new Samsung Home Theatre system to my new Samsung 46" HDTV, the Apple
TV picture is displaying way too big, cutting off about 1/2 the picture!?! The resolution seems to be set wrong ( 720 ?). The other inputs DVD and DirectTV display OK. I have the TV set for 16x9. It was working fine before I plugged the AppleTV into the new Home Theatre System. I then tried replugging the AppleTV directly into the TV's other HDMI port but the problem still remains.I can't find any way of readjusting the resolution. Any suggestions ?

Problem solved. It's a faulty HDMI port on my TV.
I have been plagued by intermittent random problems with my old Apple TV, especially where there was a blank screen but audio could be heard - solved by a restart. Then today I got the new Apple TV and it displayed as though there was overscan (actually - way more than overscan should cause now that I can see what it SHOULD look like). The final piece of the puzzle was trying to play content purchased previously on iTunes - no HDCP. Finally something pointing to the HDMI connection. I did a bit of troubleshooting - swapping cables, swapping HDMI ports and problem solved. Of the 3 HDMI ports on my TV - when the Apple TV is plugged into port 2 I get this massive overscan and HDCP doesn't work. In ports 1 and 3 it works perfectly. Thankfully the problem with the new Apple TV was consistent enough for me to easily diagnose the problem - unlikely the random nature of the issues I was having with the old Apple TV. Time for a new TV - hurrah! (it's under warranty...)

I have an iMac running with Parallels. Last year, my System Updates from Apple started popping up on PC side and I cannot find a way to link them back to the Apple side of machine. Cannot update iTunes to latest version where I use it.

Hello, do you mean the files end up on the PC side, or the notifications?
On the Mac side try this...
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

Why cant my pictures turn to the side?

My videos and pictures will not turn to the side horizontal, neither will my itunes music! Can anyone help?

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Perform a Reset... Try again...

Apple TV picture out after EyeTV installation

I've had an Apple TV nearly a year. This past week, I set up an EyeTV system on my iMac (running OS 10.5.2) to record TV to send to the Apple TV (running the Take 2 software update). I got an EyeTV 250 Plus with EyeTV 3.0.1 software and a Turbo.264 stick running version 1.2. Things ran OK for a day or so. I did have to reset the Apple TV twice, which was unusual, but after this, things worked fine. Today, however, the Apple TV is displaying no picture. My TV says it has an "invalid format." I am able to hear the start-up music and am actually able to stream iTunes to the Apple TV via AirTunes. But there is no picture.
I've tried forcing the Apple TV into selecting a video mode (menu-plus button on Apple remote). It briefly shows the video mode 480p, but I'm not able to maintain the picture though I've tried hitting the play button, the menu button and doing nothing. It flashes green, then goes to black and the TV indicates I'm in "invalid format" again. I've reset and restarted and plugged and unplugged HDMI cables several times to no avail. I'd run diagnostics or do a factory restore, but I'm not sure how to do that without being able to see the screen.
I'm looking for ideas.

Though I didn't have any spare HDMI or component cables (and didn't want to invest just for troubleshooting), I found old composite cables and hooked the Apple TV to my TV using the component jacks. And it worked. I was able to switch Apple TV to 1080i again.
And in fact, these cheap composite cables I had lying around work better with my Apple TV than the HDMI cable I had to buy special. With HDMI, there was always a delay each time I switched to Apple TV—the TV displayed a "connecting" message for several seconds. Then, once it connected, several seconds later, the TV threw up a screen-obstructing warning that the audio was not compatible—even though it worked. Now, with composite cables in component cable jacks, there is no delay when switching to Apple TV and no warning message from the TV about audio. (The picture quality may even be better, but that may be because I've been looking at 480p plus I'm bleary-eyed for lack of sleep troubleshooting this.)
Those I've discussed this with say that EyeTV had nothing to do with my problems. I don't understand why they say that, but because they sound truly sincere, I will continue to test EyeTV exports to the Apple TV to see if the problems crop up again.

How to make two pictures that are in side by side mode end at the same time?

I have two pictures that I have set up to show side by side. But when that section ends, one of them disappears and the other continues to play for another second. How do I make them end at the same time?

You already posted this in another thread. Why start another?

I've seen on apple's pictures of the ipod 5th generation that it has a battery percentage. Yet i can't find out how to turn it on? does anyone know how to?

When looking on the apple website and iTunes you can see that the picture of the ipod touch 5th gen has a battery percentage indicator but i can't seem to fing the option to turn it on?! Is there actually an option or has apple just added a feature in the photo in which the ipod dosen't contain?

The 5G does not come with a % battery in upper right. The phtos were incorrect. You may be able to add it by:

However, % battery is not accurate on an iPod

Cropping of sides of my video image with matrox mini

Hey everyone,
I'm wondering if anyone else is having the same problem I am with a Matrox mini to Dell HD monitor set up. The side edges of my image are getting just slightly cropped off. I do have the monitor set to 1:1 and the external video settings in FCP are set correctly.
Matrox technical support has a clip of my footage and can reproduce the problem but they don't know why it is happening. Their "engineers" have been looking into if for over 2 weeks and haven't solved it. They have tested my footage on two Dell HD monitors. I asked them to test on a real video production monitor but they said they don't have one!
When I asked B&H about this they said that it was probably due to the monitor (maybe because I bought the matrox from them). They said I shouldn't be using a Dell monitor because it doesn't have underscan. I know that the Dell monitor is not a real video monitor but I thought with the matrox that it should work just as well.
Anyone else having this problem??
I'm editing 720p60 footage on a new 17" macbook pro, going out to the matrox via matrox expresscard connection to hdmi, going from matrox to dell hd monitor via hdmi.

First off, I know the product manager for the MXO, and I e-mailed him this post. He said that they have over 100 broadcast monitors there, and in the tech support area, so you must be dealing with a very green tech support guy. Call back, get someone better.
Second...I don't know why the Dell is doing that. But this is a computer monitor, so who knows what it is doing. This is the fault of the DELL, not the MXO2 Mini. The MXO 2 mini sends out a full sized signal...I know this as I have one sitting right here (I keep it in my computer bag at all times), and I connected it to my laptop and then to my HD CRT that DOES have Underscan. And sure enough, it shows the full image. So the fault is not with the Mini, but the monitor.
Third...you are using a computer monitor with HDMI inputs...this isn't an HDTV. But because of the HDMI inputs you will be able to adjust the monitor to bars. Still, this is FAR from ideal as a way of color correcting. The MXO and Dell combination (via DVI) is a decent way of seeing good color, it compared well to my HD CRT. But it isn't the best, it is a budget option. Computer monitors offer 6-bit color...not 8-bit...not even close to 10-bit. HDTVs I believe can do 8-bit...so they are better than computer monitors.
Fourth...
I'm editing a film that has a lot of tracking shots so I REALLY need to know exactly what is at the edge of a frame when I'm deciding where to cut.
Ok then...use the CANVAS to look at this. The Canvas shows you the entire image. Even if you use Motion or AE, their window shows you the FULL image...and offer title safe guides. NO need to use the monitor to figure out your tracking shots.
Fifth...
The finished product will be transferred to film so I will really need to see the entire image.
If you are transferring to film, something that doesn't come cheap, why are you using the bare cheapest way of monitoring your image? One that is far from ideal. If I were transferring something to film, I'd want the best I could get. Heck, and HDTV would be better than what you are using now. But really, I'd rent a broadcast monitor with component inputs for use with the Mini. Not as good as SDI, but much better than a Dell computer monitor with HDMI inputs.
The mini is designed for people on a budget. I love the box and use it for many things. But I would NOT use it in combination with a computer monitor to grade a project going to film.

Apple TV Picture pixulated or freezes since update...

Hello
I have 2 Apple TVs and BOTH are doing the same thing. I have BOTH connected with an Ethernet cable through a (Gigabit) switch. I have a superfast network and can stream anything from the Internet in lightening speed. When I play videos on my Apple TV the picture is either frozen for a few seconds while the sound continues or it gets really pixulated (from green squares to out of oder large squares) and then catches up. Sometimes it even looses the sych between the voice and picture. It is a continuous problem that happened since the new Apple TV update. I have Apple TV version 5.2.1 amd the latest iTunes. This happens to ALL my video content.
Thanks

Not sure why you are saying it's not the upgrade. Nothing is changed in my set up and its been working great for a year. There seems to be a different way iTunes streams to Apple TV and that is the issue. I no longer see my library when my apple TV is on Wifi and I did before.

HT204150 Contact will not display Thumbnails correctly or not at all. If picture is cropped in Contacts it might show in iCloud cropped but in Cont. only in full size

I drop and crop a picture from iPhoto into the address book thumbnail and it will show until it is synced with iCloud. Then it either disapears or reverts to original size. iCloud however,has the cropped picture. Taking pictures with the Facetime camera works without a problem.
System 10.8.1
MBP 13 inch

Hi,
I just wanted to add, that I see a similar problem consistently since 10.8 too.
Before 10.8 I did not use this feature.
What happens?
I take a Photo of someone with my iPhone 5, sync it through iPhoto and then use it through contacts.
If I need to crop the picture and align it a bit everything works perfectly, till the picture gets synced to iCloud.
Than the contacts thumbnail will be updated with a "damaged" version.
The width and hight of the cropped region is right, but at the wrong position (always left lower edge of the picture).
OS 10.10.1
MacBook Pro late 2013
iPhoto 9.6
