How can I view movies in iPad with the full screen?

Ok, I bought two movies from iTunes on my iMac and synced them with my iPad. It went well.
But when I play them back on the iPad, I can only view them in letterbox/portrait mode which uses only one third of the iPad screen!!! Why is this? Is there anyway I can actually utilise the other two thirds of the iPad screen to view the movie? Otherwise it kind of defeats the object of having an iPad surely?

Hi,
I think we are going to experience some format problems on our mobile devices,  unfortunate as that may be.
This is caused, I think, by the video and cable providers preparing to roll out live programming through LTE
broadband from the cell towers to multiple mobile devices and home television.  We should expect some
bumbs along the road.
This may be an unrelated problem:
On my Ipad, before OS 5 upgrade, I was was able to view Xfinity, HBO Live, ABC Live and CNN Live in full
screen using the popup full screen icon on the top right of the screen.
After OS 5,  HBO,ABC,CNN LIVE  -  all could be viewed full screen using the popup icon.
The popup Icon is not available with Xfinity.  Xfinity is now letterbox.   Very, very annoying!!!
The Comcast New Products department said that engineering would fix this problem.  I sure hope they do.

    I think this is probably a sign that your network could be better than it is.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

    I wonder the Format Tables macros on my site could be adapted?

    If not, I have used Macro Express to format tables in Rh. No reason it could not be used in Word.

    " how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
    You cannot.  Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
    it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
    Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content.

    how can i open my locked ipad with a forgotten apple id?

    If you’re being asked for your own Apple ID, either use Apple’s iForgot service or contact their Account Security team.
    If you’re being asked for someone else’s Apple ID, you need to contact the device’s original owner(if this is you, take the device and its purchase receipt to a physical Apple Store) or the person who set the lock.

  • How can I set up two iPhones with the same contact, photos, music etc... but a different sim card and phone number. They will both be my phones, but one will be for use in other countries.

    How can I set up two iPhones with the same contact, photos, music etc... but a different sim card and phone number. They will both be my phones, but one will be for use in other countries.

    Phone A = phone with information you want duplicated
    Phone B = phone that you want to copy from A
    Backup Phone A.
    Wipe Phone B using these instructions. What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Phone B should be on the 'Hello' screen. Do not swipe it. Launch iTunes. Plug in Phone B.
    When iTunes asks if you want to set up as new phone or restore from backup, choose restore from backup of Phone A.
    After this setup, any changes to one phone (i.e. adding a contact, downloading an app) will have to be manually duplicated on the second phone, if that is your desire). Making changes to one phone will not affect the other after setup.

  • How can I view a recto page on the right?

    This used to be automatic in old versions of Acrobat. Now that I am using Acrobat X I cannot get the view I want.  In a 2-page view, how can I view a recto page on the right and a verso page on the left? Now all I get is a recto on the left and a verso on the right! Is there a setting to view, say, a book? or some other way to get the first page to be alone on the right and the rest to be a 2-page view with pages side by side correctly?

    Hi People!
    Please help...I want to know how can i get photos from ipad to the computer, that were synchronized previously to ipad but from another pc that i dont have access anymore and these pics are now only found in this ipad and no other place.

    Hi Alan,
    Thanks for the help, but i've actually done that before.
    It does not help, because it only shows the photos on the camera roll and do not show the photos synchronized with that pc that i dont have access anymore.
    The photos/albums all appear on the ipad, i can see it without problems but i cant get them out of the ipad to save onto pc for backup.
    And i reaaly need it, as it is the only place that i actually have these photos now...
