Black thing on top

I just recently got the iPhone 3GS and it does some weird thing every now and then, you know when you call someone and if you go into the menu during the call it makes a space (green, with information on the call) for you to tap on right? Well, my problem is that even when I don't use that feature, suddenly it decides to leave the space for that green bar and it is just a black space which has nothing on it and makes everything on the screen smaller because of that black bar on top.
I have turned it of and on several times and when I do it goes into let's call it "fine" mode, but sometimes it will just put it back (the black thing).
Anyone knows how to fix this?
Thanks

I am Apple Fans. But I am totally diappointed by iPhone 5. I am using iPhone 5 and find the Apps not compateble with the software. Their pages are having 2 big black banner at top

For iPhone 5 with IOS6, all Apps appear ugly page on the screen. There is 2 black banner at top & bottom of the screen. It is totally acceptable.
I am your Apple Fans. But this phone make me extremely dissatisfied.

If "It is totally acceptable" why does "this phone make me extremely dissatisfied"?
You must have a white iPhone 5. With a black one the black bars are not so obvious.

Premiere Elements 7: share/export DV-PAL in FLV/QT/WMV, black bars on top/bottom

During export (step "share", export for "PC" - sorry, if I use some wrong terms, got a german interface) of only DV-PAL video to FLV/QT/WMV there are always black bars on top/bottom of the video and the picture is wrong in aspect ratio. I can't help.
I tried different resolutions (original 720x576, 502x402, 320x240) and, as only possible with QT/WMV, different pixel aspect ratios (PARs), even user-defined PARs and 'wrong' aspect ratios (like 512x402). No chance. (I think precise user-defined data like "1,094" is not possible, because results did not change anyhow and this value is shown as "1".) With e.g. QT, 640x512, PAR 1,067 there are black bars with 6 px each.
My project settings must be correct I think: DV-PAL, 720x576, 4:3, 25 fps.
DV-PAL- and MPEG-Export/Share is no problem.
As a workaround I export DV-PAL and convert with XMediaRecode to FLV. But I want direct and clean export with PrEl. That's what I bought it for recently.
I wonder why there are only NTSC-setting suggested in FLV-share. I have to change the size by myself.
And I wonder why Wikipedia says PAR for DV-PAL is "1,0940" and Premiere says "1,067".
I'm new to Premiere Elements 7 (although I got some experience with Premiere 5/6.5, FinalCut, Cinelerra ...) using Windows XP.

I posted two videos on muvipix.com:
WMV cable modem settings PrEl (without audio, fps like original)
Strange: in VLC media player there are bars on the left and right (and slight faded bars on top/bottom - hope you can see) and in muvipix.com and Media Player Classic there are bars at top/bottom

FLV (no resize, without audio, fps like original)
black bars on top/bottom, but only slight in Media Player Classic

I had to deactivate sound because this is Creative Commons stuff and I don't want to give credits. And I changed fps to "like original" because 30 fps as standard in PrEl is wrong. It's PAL here.
Thanks for your efforts.

Black at bottom, top flickering/flashing

Don't know how this happened. All the connections seemed okay. Bottom part of display becomes completely black. The top part is whatever is on the screen but it is flashing rapidly. I solved it by restarting the mac manually. How can I fix this so it won't happen again?
Wasn't sure if this was a G4 or G5, but looking at Apples website, realized it's neither since its Intel based. The iMac was purchased brand new in January. Processor is Intel Core 2 Duo with speed of 3.06 GHz. 1 processor, 2 cores, L2 Cache with 3 MB. Memory is 4GB, Bus Speed is 1.07 GHz

Take a look at this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2564196&tstart=0

How can I get rid of the transition that I added in and the Black thing around the footage?

I added a transition between videos but how can I delete it and there's a black thing around the footage? It is really brothering me when doing cuts.

Select the shelf and use Shift-Cmd-G to break apart. You will lose the black thing and the transitions.

Black thing on Photo settings..help, before i get bumped off to the bottom

Hope this info helps.. I just got this iMac intel dual core few days ago coz the iLife 6 sounded better with new features but too many glitches??? To get around this black thing on Photo Settings, i just drop same picture from my pane to replace old UN-editable picture. It works but what's with the black thing! And i get this spinning wheel everytime i play the movie, even fresh from reboot. Will it also help if i up the ram? I have 1gb of it now.
"Help!! If I edit a clip (still picture) with Photo Settings, it's all black, and no image of the clip. Thus, i can't edit it. But i can adjust time (it's not disabled) but can't do ken burns effect and zoom coz I can't see what i should be editing!. I've done everything--close the app and reboot my machine.
I don't like that Photo Settings is floating. I wish it was permanently on the pane. "

Hi mit 1 - Your problem is most likely caused by the fact that once a photo has been worked on, and then iMovie trash emptied, the photo can no longer be further edited. As you found, you had to re-import the photo. In future, if you think you might need to further edit the pics later, then drag the photos out of the iMovie trash, to the Clips Pane. iMovie will then allow you to re-edit them. For some reason, once a photo has been edited, iMovie dumps the original, un-edited version into the trash!

Laserjet pro m1530 has black bar at top when copying

Laserjet pro m1530 has black bar at top when copying, scanning bar seems to stick and not reset at top. Turning copier off seems to reset the screen back to top but next copy has same problem. No problem when printing from computer.

Have you tried connecting the print to a different wall outlet or location?

My Black Berry Desk Top Manager doesn't work on my computer help!

On March 6 I took my BlackBerry® Style™ 9670 smartphone in for software issues after tech support did a hard reset on the device. I went home to back up my information and was unsuccessful. The connection failed this is the first time that the desk top software had problems. I un-installed The Desktop software and reinstalled and the disk that came with the phone open almost "1 Million" windows therefore opening some type of virus on my computer. I tried to install from the Black Berry site and it did the same thing. I had to get my computer serviced, I tried installing from the site yet again and now it still isn't working when installed... Help!!

Hi luciana247,
Welcome to BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Can you provide more detail on what happens with the Desktop Software after the last reinstall? What error messages are being received? Are you able to open it? At what point does it stop working?

Mysterious black space in top section of index

I am a newbie...please be gentle with this dumb beginners
problem. thanks.
there is too much width to the index page leaving large black
sides on either side of the center image.
www.covatorealty.com
This was an existing site that I think is a locked real
estate template cause things jump around when I reposition some
elements.
Fer instance, if I align the 'new on the market' tables left,
the text below it: 'Miami Florida real estate Agency etc' jumps up
to fill the gap on the right.
but first >>>how do I get rid of the excessive width
of the page so it all fits under the top image?
thanks for your help.

Hummm....your maths don't add up.
To make it work the trhee cells under the main header image
need to add
up to 760px in width.
At the moment the:
td.left cell is 200px wide (css) or 145px (inline
declaration)
td.main cell is 460px wide (css) plus left/right padding
total 80px
(css) or 520px wide inline declaration.
td.right cell is 125px wide (css) plus left/right padding
total 10px
(css) or 151px wide inline declaration.
I would start by deleting ALL the inline declarations ie
145px, 520px,
and 151px from the cells.
Then I would delete ALL the padding from the css style.
Then make sure the widths of your cells (all added together
total 760px)
If you want to add padding, as you undoubtedly will, then add
the
padding back into to the css then reduce the width of the
cells by the
same total.
ie if a cell is 200px wide and you add left and right padding
of 15px
reduce the cells width to 170px. (200px - 30px = 170px)

I plugged my macbook pro into an external monitor, then unplugged it later and now it is stuck with black borders on top and bottom and zoomed out like it is still on the monitor. How do I fix it?

I started using my external monitor with my macbook pro and as soon as I plug it in it to the monitor it adjusts the screen by zooming out a bit and creating about 3/4 of an inch black borders on the top and bottom of the screen. But these dont show up on the monitor so I assumed it was fine. But when I took it off the monitor, the borders were still there like it was still on the monitor. Any hellp? Its starting to mess with my eyes haha.

Hi aefulcher,
It sounds like you had the external display set to mirror the internal display so the resolution(s) were changed to match each other.

IMovie is outputting my movie with big black bars at top and bottom that I don't want

Quicktime: Ver 10.3
iMovie: Ver 10.0.5
OS: OS X Ver 10.9.4
So, let me try and explain...
I have recorded gameplay footage of my game directly from my Mac screen using Quicktime's Record Screen option. I've tried recording both in fullscreen mode (with my game also running in fullscreen mode) and a section of the screen by dragging the mouse to select a 640X960 box (with my game running in windowed mode which is displayed at 640x960 resolution).
This initial recording direct from the screen displays fine, both when I view it in windowed mode and when I view it fullscreen, with the height of the game stretching to the full height of the video area but obviously with big black borders to either side in fullscreen mode (as it's basically iPhone ratio in portrait mode).
WindowedFullscreen
This ^^^ is how they should look.
The problem is when I try to import the movie into iMovie, mess around with some fade-ins and music and stuff and then output the edited movie via iMovie...
When I then try to view this outputted movie in windowed mode on certain sites (Kickstarter) my game footage doesn't take up the full height of the video and instead floats in the middle with big black bars at the top and bottom, which I don't want. It's fine when I go fullscreen but the problem is that when I load this video into Kickstarter it shows the non-fullscreen view of the video with this big black border and it looks really amateur.
This is what Kickstarter shows in windowed mode i.e. the way you see Kickstarter videos by default when you press Play; unless I go fullscreen and then it takes up the full heigh of the view.
Note: Windowed mode actually looks fine when viewed directly on my Mac but I know it's not Kickstarter that is causing the issue because I can see in the thumbnail preview on my Mac that the video is somehow encoded with the big black bars at the top and bottom. Also, I uploaded the unedited videos to Kickstarter just to check and they display fine. So it's definitely iMovie that is adding these annoying black borders at the top and bottom for whatever reason (and I'm not intentionally scaling the video down in iMove or anything like that as far as I know). I also can't use the unedited footage however because it has no sound and no transitions etc.
Does anyone know what night be causing this and how to get rid of it.

You are lucky to see anything - iMovie 5 is not really compatible with Snow Leopard, which only supports iMovie 6 and above.
Snow Leopard only runs on Intel Macs. iMovie 5 was never written, AFAIK, for Intel, just for the PPC Macs they had in those old days!

End of clip black 'thing'

See this image:
If you look caefully then you see a thin black part at the end of the middle clip
How do I get rid of it!!
This is causing me problems (I think)
I have one clip that plays for 10 seconds
This clip gets shrunk to 20% and plays on a loop on the top left
Then I have 4 other clips who are sized 10% say and they sit on the bottom left - arranged so that they can all be seen
Problem: right at the end the screen becomes the very first clip - i.e. the first clip in full size
What am I doing wrong?
Hope some of that makes sense!
Omar

thanks for replying tom
i fixed - somehow - not 100% sure how
i removed the clip and added the same one by copying (i'd done this many times but it never worked before)
if u look closely there's a thin black line at the end of the clip - now that it's fixed, the problem isnt there

IBooks on iPhone 5 shows black bar on top

I understood that Apple have adapted every single app of their own to the wide screen on the iPhone 5, but I am seeing that iBooks make dissapear the cell operator, the clock and the battery level icon, but that part doesn't go to white, making it the "full screen" theme. And it really disturb me.
Is it a bug that will find solution in next app update? Happens only to me?

I have the same issue. I think it's how Apple designed it.
What a waste of space with a black bar.
This is a screenshot from my iPhone 4S.
I love the ability to switch to continuous scroll mode, but the black bar at the top is such a bad design choice.
*sigh... Apple....you almost had it....

How to get rid of black bars on top, bottom and sides??

I am exporting a project from Adobe Premiere Pro (CS3) that is in HD (widescreen) format. The original video is HD, the size option I chose for the project is HD, everything is showing fine when I look at it in the Program window. I admit I am a bit of a novice Premiere user, so I do need a little help with the exporting as there are a ton of options. This is what is happening: When I export, whether to AVI or Quicktime my project comes out with black bars all the way around. Not like letterboxing on top and bottom as when you have a widescreen video exported to a standard 4:3 size, but almost like a 16:9 video, shrunken down a little with a 16:9 black box put around it. What the heck am I doing wrong. I'm sure it has something to do with some option on exporting, but I've tried messing around with the export options about 20 different ways. I'm desperate! Please help!
Thanks in advance!

I have several video clips from iStockPhoto. I don't know what camera's/settings were used, but know that they are all 640x360 px and vary between 25 fps and 30 fps. I also have 3 still images that I have insterted that I formatted to be 640x360 to keep everything the same size. Everything appears correct when viewing the project as I've built it. I'm attaching a few screen shots of the most recent settings for export, though these are not the only that I have tried. Everything comes out with the same result.
I can't insert screen shots of my settings for some reason (?) but here is some info on my most recent try. I chose to export as a Microsoft DV AVI. Then in the Video options I'm using the DV NTSC codec. For size, I chose the D1/NTSC Widescreen 16:9 (1.2) option.
As for other times I've tried this, there are only 2 other codecs to choose from when saving as a DV AVI. I've tried both of them too. Everything has had the same result. I've tried a Quicktime file as well.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to the best file/codec/setting combination?
Thanks,
Holli
