When I mirror my iPad to my TV, the screen is not "filled"  It appears to be in "box" setting(4:3)...why is that?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Mirroring won't fill the TV screen. The iPad has an aspect ratio of 4:3 and the iPhone 4S or prior an aspect ratio of 3:2, neither of these will fit exactly into a TV screen which as an aspect ratio of 16:9. The Apple TV will not zoom the mirrored image, because it may well cut off information which is situated at the top or bottom of the screen.
You may wish to try each of the settings in settings > AirPlay > Adjust for Overscan for the best setting that suits you.

  • Usually when I flip my iPad upside down.  The screen flips upsidedown to become upsideright.  It stopped doing that. Anyone know why ?

    Is there a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If there is, then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (rotation lock or mute notifications), then you can lock/unlock the rotation by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad above the volume switch, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
    If there isn't a lock symbol then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • HT4623 I clicked on an e-mail and now my IPad is stuck and the screen will not convert back to my e-mail list. How do I get the screen to go back to my original mail list?

    My mail screen will not convert to the original mail listings. this happened when I clicked on an attachment sent with an e-mail. How can I get the mail screen unstuck?

    Hi donna Ifromwa,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPad is unresponsive after clicking on an attachment and you cannot return to your email inbox, I recommend forcing the attachment and Mail app to close using this method:
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
    These steps come from this article:

    If you still cannot access your email, restart your iPad next:

    Thanks

    I can help with the "IR Receiver" part of your question. That's the piece of hardware inside older MacBook Pros (MBPs) that lets them work with the Apple Remote. "IR" is the standard abbreviation for "infrared," the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum used by remotes for many common devices (stereos, cable boxes, Apple TVs, etc.). The remote sends a coded stream of IR pulses; a corresponding receiver in the target device "sees" the infrared light and decodes it. The MBP's internal IR Receiver sends the received signals to the processor via USB through an internal hub.
    The most recent MacBook Pros have dropped the IR receiver and no longer work with the Apple Remote.

  • When i try ton print from my printer i keep getting the words (printer not responding ) but i can use my printer using internet exsplorer, why is that !.

  • When booting into my previously working Windows partition, the screen is not displaying anything. It was working before...

    Im not sure what happened but I just tried to bootinto my Windows partition and the screen is completely blank. I dont see the Windows boot logo and I eventually here the startup noise. I have also been able to logon without seeeing the screen.
    Ive done a PRAM and SMC reset and neither has helped. I suspect that a recent update on OS X may have caused video issues but I am not sure of it. All of my research has led me to a black screen during the install of Windows onto the bootcamp partition. Nothing delaing with an actual running Windows partition that just goes to black.
    Any suggestions?

    There is more than enough disk space available on the partition.
    Booting from the install CD doesnt work because I cannot seeing anything.
    Removed my install of Windows 7 via bootcamp and tried to reinstall but I got the same black screen (no backlight as usual).
    BTW, OS X does affect the Windows install. If you update the driver for the say the video card, that means that the apple drivers that are needed to run Windows are more than likely to be affected.
    Just like VMware tool running on a ESXi 4.1 host will need to be reinstalled on an ESXi 5.0 host. Same hardware but the tools on the VM need to be updated to reflect the host OS.

  • I embedded a pdf in an Outlook appointment.  The appointment synced with my iPad calendar, but the pdf did not come through.  Am I missing a setting?

    I embedded a pdf in an Outlook appointment on my desktop.  The appointment synced with my iPad calendar correctly but the pdf did not come through.  Did I miss a setting on my iPad?
    Thank you

    Then your family members will probably have bought their ipads with a data plan from some phone company like AT&T in the States. Maybe they even got it "sponsored", because they bought a data plan with it.
    If you bought your "iPad only" from a hardware seller, you will have to get a data plan from some phone company. Seems like you only bougth the hardware! You can still use your ipad, however, and if you have an iPhone, you do not even need a sim card in your iPad, because it can use your iPhone's data plan.
    That is what I did. I save the extra money for the 3G version, because with an iPhone 4 there is no need for an own sim Card in an iPad.
    But that is another topic.

    I will try that. Thank you.  I am hoping to buy a wifi hotspot, but wondered what type of data plan I should get if I were to use it consistantly for 8 hours a day (only on saturdays and sundays).  A great tool for work & presentations!!
    It will use minimal internet bandwidth unless your content is streaming from web>iPad>AppleTV. 
    Local network comms for content already on the iPad (eg presentations) will not generally use internet bandwidth apart from protected iTunes material that requires brief internet authorisation.

  • Possible to get a fullscreen on my 42" TV when I mirror my Ipad?

    Possible to get a fullscreen on my 42" TV when I mirror my Ipad?

    I have no problem with getting full screen for my apple tv and 3g ipad. There are videos that won't allow airplay, and some sites have it set so full screen is less than great.

    Media is not included in a backup. You should be able to resync them your copy of them on your computer's iTunes. If you haven't got your a copy of them then if they are still in the store, then you can re-download apps via the Purchased tab in the App Store, ibooks via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app, and (depending upon what country that you are in) potentially music, films and tv shows via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app.
    For podcasts you can download the Podcasts app

    Please can you help.  My ipad is frozen. A box is permently on in the centre of the screen saying not enought storage.  When i press on the words CLOSE or SETTINGS it doesn't respond.  It won't slide to unlock or close down. The ipad is 16GB and about a year old.  Any suggestions.

    THis suggestion also worked for my iphone! After a few warnings, the screen on my iPhone froze. there was no way to make phone calls or manage my iCloud storage or even turn it off. I deleted all the photos on my iphone, checked storage and nothing changed. So I purchased more storage, did the backup and still the screen remained frozen. To be sure, I checked that the new amount of storage was registered, it was but somehow my Mac showed the backup I had just performed (a couple of times) not having happened (it show the last one some 2 weeks before). Weird but I followed your suggestion  (wish I had seen it before I purchased new storage) and Ta DAH!!! I'm back in business too. thanks!!

  • When typing on my iPad the screen does not move up so I can see what I am typing.

    Under normal operation, when using the virtual keypad, iOS shifts the screen so that it's possible to view what you are typing all the time. On my iPad if the text I am typing is below the keyboard, the screen is not automatically moved up. On some forms for example, where it is not possible to manually shift the screen, it is impossible to see what you are typing. I went to the Genius Bar and they wiped my iPad and reinstalled iOS 6 but I still have the problem. I'm guessing it is being caused by one of my apps but with 174 apps which all reinstall from the cloud it is impossible for me to know which one (and Apple is supposed to have tested all apps anyway). Any suggestions?

    So reading related comments and your feedback here helped me identify and fix the issue. Basically by turning off the split keyboard option in settings the problem with not scrolling was corrected. I then tried turning the option back on and it now appears to work fine either docked or split. I'm guessing there is a bugs in iOS whereby the setting for the split keyboard causes it to not scroll the window under specific circumstances (if I had to guess I would say when you switch the split keyboard option on and then don't use the spilt keyboard). And for the record, this problem occurred for all Apple apps as well as 3rd party apps (eg Apple notes). my advice to the "Genius" guys is to do basic stuff like changing the settings first before they resort to wiping and restore.

  • When I connect my ipad or ipod to the computer, itunes does not show them as a "device".

    When I connect my ipad or ipod to the computer, itunes does not show them as a "device", however my computer can see they are connected. so it seems to be a problem with itunes. i have tried re-installing itunes and it still doesnt work.
    My Iphone does show as a device when connecteing wirelessly.
    Its not a problem with the driver becasue the computer can see the devices, so its a problem in itunes.

    Hello mimward,
    It sounds like Windows can see your devices, but iTunes is not seeing them. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article named:
