Does Full Screen HD actually work in iTunes 9 ?

I would like to be able to watch iTunes HD TV shows and movies on my Windows 7 HTPC (42" Sony LCD) in full screen mode without seeing the edges of the desktop. If I hit ctrl+F the playback window disappears but the soundtrack continues to play. So then I tried ctrl+3 (view>video size>fit to screen) and I get a playback window that goes from the top of the display to the taskbar and leaves two strips of desktop exposed along the sides. Then I discovered if I hide the task bar I can stretch the window to cover the desktop but it still has the grey bar at the top and bottom of the playback window which is surprisingly distracting when watching in a darkened room. I was really hoping HD playback would be a little better in iTunes, it's just too fussy. Does anyone have any other ways to achieve what I am trying to do?
Thanks.
Chris

That's a great solution IF you can do it. I am running a Sony VPCL117FX touch screen with 24" display (mainly because of a visual impairment) and switching to 100% make everything so small that it's unusable for me.

  • Full screen won't work in iTunes 9 at resolution greater than 1152

    I just installed iTunes 9 and with my resolution set at 1280x1024, which I've had it at for years (running Win XP Pro), I cannot get Full Screen feature to work. If I set the resolution to 1152x864 or lower it works fine. I've had no problems with Full Screen on any of the earlier versions that feature it.

    Uninstalled iTunes 9 and reinstalled 8. I guess I'll wait until apple puts out a version that's not a piece of ****.

  • Full Screen Mode Not Working In iTunes

    With the latest iTunes update, when I play anything in "Full Screen" mode, I get the black background with this tiny (smaller than a postcard) picture. Anyone else having the same problems? Any suggestions? This problem never happened before. Seems to be related to the recent update. I think the update is telling my computer to act like an iPod, which unfortunately it is. Appreciate any help. Standing by.

    Bingo! Problem solved. I didn't realize that you could "right click" the mouse over the "resize" icon in full screen mode. When I did that I found I was in the tiny postcard mode. Selecting "full screen" got me back to where I used to be..enjoying the tv shows in full screen mode. Kinda of weird. Choosing "full screen" from the menu bar didn't make the show full "pictured" though I was in full screen mode. But while in the full screen mode, I could right-click and choose "full screen" and there I be, watching a show in "full pictured". Learned something new.

  • Is there a way to auto-start applications in full screen, such as Safari, Mail, iTunes etc.?

    I would like several applications to start in full screen, including Mail, Safari and iTunes, rather than starting them, then making them full screen. Is there a setting somewhere or a way of doing that? Thanks in advance.

    I found it. In System Preferences under General "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps" has to be checked. However when that is checked it takes you back to all of the sites you had open when you quit the app. I would prefer it start full screen, but back at the home page. Do yours do that as well?

  • Mavericks, AppleTV-3, Accessibility Zoom, Zoom Style:  Full Screen, doesn't work at all. Help.

    I'm a teacher using an AppleTV 3 (latest updates) to project & teach FCP X in a large iMac lab. Using my Macbook Pro (late 2011), I could use any of the Zoom, Zoom Styles.  However, since upgrading to Mavericks, I have an issue when projecting my laptop screen to white screen. The problem is when using Accessibility Zoom, Zoom Style:  Full Screen, doesn't work at all. Strangely, Zoom Style: Picture in Picture works fine. I've tried other macs running Mountain Lion, both work without issue. Please help. This is killing my effectiveness.

    Is the page size of the PDF 8.5 inches wide? What do you have set for the "Acrobat > Preferences > Page Display > Custom Resolution" setting? What is the pixels/inch spec for your display?
    I have a 13" MacBook Pro. The display is 1280x800 pixels and about 11-1/4 inch wide.
    1280 pixels / 11.25 inch = 113.8 pixels/inch
    When calibrated using the method I mentioned above, my custom resolution setting in Acrobat is 114 pixels/inch, which is close enough to the spec of 113 for this display.
    Yes its 8.5 wide I printed a test page its formatted 8.5 by 11
    Acrobat does a little differently. Word and other applications, for example 100% means to physically see right, & left edge, and top & bottom. you see the entire page without scrolling. an 8.5 by 11 page.  If you want to see 8.5 width you set page width which for Portriat page its 292%
    My monitor settings 1920 by 1200
    DPI system default 131 custom 110
    Also on Mac what you see on screen depends upon the Printer used.  (Just FYI only)

    Ok, so there has to be some other issue, because since I installed it it crashes when trying to download an update... also when I try to run the program I get a message that I can't use it on this system.

  • Auot fill doesnt function and full screen option doesnt work

    have set up auto fill but all pages show function not available
    also no video steam will open in full screen mode

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

  • Full screen mode not working in Mountain Lion

    I'm using the new Retina Macbook Pro. The full screen mode to preview pictures and movies is not working; the dock still remains open when the full screen is open. I have to manually hide the dock by pressing command + D and do the same to open the dock again. This doesnt seem to an OS issue because my Macbook Air, which is also running Mountain Lion is doing just fine. I can preview a picture and the dock automatically hides.
    Has anyone experienced the same issue? What is the fix for this problem?

    Bingo! Problem solved. I didn't realize that you could "right click" the mouse over the "resize" icon in full screen mode. When I did that I found I was in the tiny postcard mode.

  • Full screen mode not working for original user

    Hi,
    Whenever I go to start a full-screen mode in iTunes, iCal, Mail, etc. the program makes the default error sound and doesn't enter full screen. This appears in the console, but I'm not sure how to diagnose it:
    21/07/11 9:11:18.253 PM Mail: ___createFullScreenMessageConnection_block_invoke_1: Fullscreen message error: Connection invalid
    Furthermore, apps like Mail and Safari get interface glitches, which require a restart of the program to fix.
    However, the programs work fine in full screen on other user accounts, but I don't want to have to start a new one and move ~400GB of data between them. Is there any way of fixing this? I've also tried reseting permissions.

    Resetting my user preferences hasn't helped either.

  • Why doesn't full screen video option work in Captivate 8?

    Hi,
    I have added videos to my Captivate project and have placed the Corona 2 skin on top.
    When previewing or publishing there is a full screen icon button which can be clicked to make the video full screen. This is not working. When I clink on it, nothing happens. A hand cursor appears on hover over so I know it's clickable. What do I need to do to make this work?
    I am using Captivate 8.01
    Google Chrome
    Thanks,
    Dan

    It work now.
    I just downloaded OSX 10.9.3 and iTunes 11.2 and one or both of them has fixed the problem.  (Been broken for years).  Have fun

  • How do I get full screen mode to work on my second monitor?

    I have a MacBook Pro with Lion, and I want to open my apps fullscreen on my larger display. However, full screen always defaults to MBP screen.

    John101,
    welcome to the Discussion forums.
    The Image Adjustment feature works for me on both image placeholders and dragged-in images. Did you "mark" the image, so that small squares appear around it?
    Regarding your second question: the problems are solved in 10.4.4 (see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1496754&#1496754), so you might consider an upgrade.
