IPad iTunes rental TV = Full screen?

When previewing the rental movies from TV using iPad and digital av adapter (hdmi), tv shows a windowboxed image. When watching a movie from the library, tv shows full screen. Does rental movies work in full screen, or does the preview show the exact image I will get when renting?
I really don't want to pay for a windowboxed movie!
Thanks for your answer!

I dont have that option, sadly.
I presume the feature you guys are on about hasnt been implemented for Windows users yet...
Its frustrating because "The Resistance" iTunes LP is 1280*720 px and my 15" widescreen laptop is 1280*800 so technically it should fit but it insists on putting the scrollbars in. I cant see this button you guys are on about, and the option isnt there in the view menu (ctrl + f and alt + enter dont work either).
So fullscreen option for windows users would be great (yes I am on the latest version of iTunes). I'd quite like to set the animated background as a screensaver as well but I guess I can dream on...
Also what the previous person said about the lyrics: the blurb about itunes LP when it first came out mentioned animated lyrics but they arent there in the muse one which is annoying. They have pictures of the pages from the cd booklet, but i was expecting some fantastic arty animation to go along with the song.
Its a shame 'cause I love the LP concept, but it A) has a couple of missing features which really should be there and B) doesnt cross over to my iPod classic in any way.

When I open iTunes it will automatically go to full screen mode. I can't work out how to turn this off. Only iTunes opens to full screen mode.

Go to System Preferences (under the Apple logo in the menu bar). Choose "General". Click "Always close windows when quitting an application".
That should fix it.

ITunes 10.4 full screen with Win7-64bit doesn't work correctly.

iTunes 10.4 full screen with Win7-64 doesn't work correctly. I have the Windows taskbar on the left side of my screen. Maximized iTunes is panned to the left.

Same issue here. When the Windows taskbar is position on the top of the screen and then the iTunes windows is maximised, it's position is as if the Windows taskbar is at the bottom of the screen so the top of the iTunes window sits under the taskbar.
For those wanting a workaround, hold shift and right click the iTunes icon in the taskbar/quick launch bar and click restore, at least then you can adjust it to be full screen manually.

IPad IOS 8.1 full screen safari web app display issue

My company produces a web app that is intended to be used from the iPad's Full Screen Home Screen launch.
we are using the tags:
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" >
Since taking the updates to IOS 8, 8.1, & 8.2, when the app is launched in full screen mode from the home screen, the iPad's top line including the text "iPad", its signal strength, VPN status, current time, battery life, and blue-tooth indicators are superimposed on the top line of every page - making it difficult to read that top line of data coming from our app.
Additionally, there appears to now be a blank white band that shows up on the footer of the web app. Both of these new additions to the full screen appearance is yielding a somewhat less professional appearance.
Is there some sort of tag or other setting that we can use to hide these new areas that are appearing?

This is a better illustration. I'm thinking that the white band at the bottom of the screen should be at the top of the screen (like the iphone does) and the web content should be shifted down that amount of space.
the white band is hard to see with this white background however, but its obvious on the ipad in full screen mode... so go to the link on your device, save it to the home screen and relaunch...

ITunes movie playlist full-screen on tv for only the first one

Hi,
I am experimenting with getting what's on my MacBook Pro (15" 2ghz quad core, bought 5/11) displayed/played on my HD TV. I have tried all kinds of approaches (XBMC, Plex, Boxee (the software version), Front Row, Miro, Serviio, TV Mobli, Twonky, and who knows what else on the MBP as well as XBMC on an older Powerbook as well as using DirecTV's Media Share) but none are satisfactory. The current approach is to connect the MBP to the TV by a display port to HDMI cable.
The problem I am having is: when using iTunes to play movies on a playlist, I can get the TV to display the first movie as full-screen but when it comes to the next one, I lose full-screen. It reverts back to the original size of the video. When I play the same playlist on the MBP display, successive movies stay in full-screen. (Of the two movies i have tested, the first is an mp4; the next one is an m4v.)
Is there any way I can get movies played on an iTunes playlist to stay full-screen when displayed on the TV?
All of my movies are things I've recorded with EyeTV or otherwise captured or digitized and most are converted to QT. Some are flash, some are Mpegs and I may have a few other formats. Nothing has DRM. I don't have any copyrighted "real" movies; they're all little things (music videos, segment from home movies, etc) I have put together. (Features like "scraping" with Plex for example, are completely worthless/inappropriate for me and otherwise ruin what could be a good approach to dealing with all of my media.)
I would also be curious about anyone's ideas about the best way overall to display movies and pictures from the MBP onto the TV. For streaming video I will just drag a browser window over to the TV and then go full-screen. That works for me. It is important that I keep the MBP display free for the usual computer stuff. I don't want it blacked out or otherwise made useless so any suggestion has to bear that in mind. So far I can do almost all that I want but I haven't settled on the best way yet.
I am ok with having to switch the audio output on the preference pane to the TV when I do this.
I am having one other issue: Sometimes I will lose audio half-way into one of these short movies (3-4 minutes long) on my iTunes playlist. I have dragged the movie window back to the MBP display and it still has no audio. I will then restart that movie and it will play fine on the MBP. I don't know what is going on with that. I am worried that the cable may not be able to carry audio ALL the time but why would I still get no audio when I have dragged the movie window back to the MBP if the cable was at fault? Any ideas on what is going on here?
Many thanks.

Not sure what the problem is. Using my iPhone 3G and component cable I watched Iron Man in widescreen on my Mitsu 62" tv but when I tried to play Journey to the Center of the Earth it will only play full screen. When I play it on the iPhone it will play in widescreen. Does anyone have a clue here because I sure don't. Thanks. Happy Thanksgiving.

How do I play iTunes TV shows full screen on a connected display?

I have connected my HDTV via DVI to HDMI cable and I want to play the TV shows I've dowloaded FULL SCREEN ON THE TV. When I selected full screen, it defaults to playing the show full screen on my macbook and not my TV. I just want to change it so that full screen happens on the TV, not the macbook. HELP!

You can mirror the displays as you said or just drag the iTunes window to the second display (TV). Then it will play in full screen only on the TV, however your computer screen will go black. Either way you will have no access to your iTunes controls.
If you want to use your computer while it is playing full screen on the TV, then use QuickTime Pro (not in mirror mode) and choose Present Movie, then click on the display you want it on (TV).

Itunes stutter on full screen

i continue to have intermittent problems with audio stutter while attempting to watch a movie or videos on full screen....regular size sounds fine, when full screen is accessed, then the audio stutter begins....when going back to regular screen the audio clears up and plays as it is supposed to.... i am running an early 2008 mac pro with osx maverick running 2 screens and 32 gb ram.... note: when playing youtube on fullscreen, the audio stutter is not present...only from itunes... any suggestions? thanks!

I've had this problem ever since iTunes 11.0.x while using Front Row on Snow Leopard and haven't found a solution. What I have ascertained over the years is that it only happens to movies or TV shows that I've bought from iTunes, never with a movie that I've ripped from a DVD. So just out of curiosity is this happening to you only with movies purchased from iTunes or all??
I was beginning to think that if I upgraded to (Mountain) Lion it would stop, but it appears that is not the case.

Why has my iPad safari changed to full screen

I'm not exactly sure when is happened but it must have been today as I would have noticed it before. I've had my iPad 3 for about 6 months and the entire time I've had it at the top of the screen there is always a black bar with the signal strength, the time and the battery life on it whether you're on the home screen, an app, safari or settings. Just now I've noticed that the bar remains in its place on everything else but when I enter safari the bar disappears and he entire screen is just taken up by the browser. I have no idea how or why this happened or what button I must have accidentally pressed to do that but I'm assuming the iPad didn't do that itself so is there a way to get the bar back?

Safari for iPad deosn't have a user initiated full screen view. Could have been kicked off bya specific web site, I suppose.
Open the Settings app > Safari > Clear History and then Clear Cookies adn Data.

Why will iTunes start in Full screen every time (with Resume unchecked)

iTunes and iCal seem to remember to open Full Screen in their own Space when clicked from the Dock - a behavior I expect when quitting a Full screen App . When I open Mail or Safari, they won't open full screen (their last state when quitting).

Are their any gestures to close tabs quickly, or switch one tab to another?

Switch tap; just tab the index on top.

ITunes update and full screen

OK - so I just got the latest iTunes update, and then tried the 'full screen' button - fine, but how do I get it to not be full screen? Escape doesn't work, and I can't find a window button. Help.
Also, I love that full screen apps are 'new'. Anyone remember DOS???

Tracking this to see what advice you get ... I have the same issues!

IPad iTunes rental not showing up

I just rented an episode of Torchwood on my iPad via ITunes.
I paid for and downloaded the episode.
BUT, the episode is not showing up anywhere on my iPad at all. It's as though i never even downloaded it. Except, when I tried to re-rent it, I an given an alert that tells me I'd already rented it and gives me the option to rent it again (ie, pay for a second rental).
What do I do? I'm incredibly frustrated and upset.

The first thing i did was restart my iPad. Didn't work at all.
I did fix it though, and it's a really annoying solution. All i did was plug it into a computer and opened itunes. The video was instantly there, and suddenly showed up on the iPad too. Without doing anything.
That's really annoying because the whole point of the iPad is portability. For this reason, i didn't bring my laptop with me on vacation. Luckily, i was able to find someone with a mac to solve this problem, otherwise i would be completely out of luck.
Why is there a rental download feature othe iPad if you have to boot it up on a computer with iTunes to see it? It completely invalidates everything useful about the feature.
This is something that needs to be fixed immediately.

IPad Air not showing full screen after updating to ios 8.2.

How do I reset the screen to show all items on screen while in Safari? Screen seems to be "cut-off" after updating to ios 8.2. Also cannot view Yahoo in Desktop view. It only shows in mobile mode,

When on Yahoo, tap on the address bar once...a drobox box containing icons of your favourites should appear. Hold your finger anywhere on the box & pull down,,,you should see 'Request Desktop Site' under the address bar...tap on that & the desktop site should load.
Is your Safari screen cut off a bit at the sides? I notice that too on certain websites & usually switch my iPad to landscape mode which allows me to view more of the page without having to scroll sideways.

Ipad iTunes rental volume

Just rented my first movie on my iPad and the volume is too low even at the highest setting. The preview for the movie was plenty loud, but the rental is unwatchable. I've checked my volume settings on the iPad and it is set to the highest level.
Any ideas?

I see most responses to questions about low volume say "get powered speakers". But that seems like an incorrect response to your question. I don't expect great volume from the iPad and I am satisfied with the volume except when it comes to videos. With videos the volume is half or less what it is for everything else. If it was nighttime and I was trying to be quiet it might be loud enough but that's about it. The videos are normal loudness on my Macs but not on the iPad so I do not think it is an encoding issue. I think there is an issue with the iPad.

Windows taskbar not showing when iTunes window at full screen.

I have my taskbar unlocked so it hides when I am not moused over it. I just downloaded 10.5 and when I have the iTunes window maximized I cannot get the taskbar to appear. I have to press the Windows key in order for it to show.

I, too, have the same issue with Win 7 64 bit and iTunes 10.5 and I'm grateful to find I'm not alone or imagining this! I'm also grateful for the reminder from DiscoBiscuitz13 to use the Windows key. Love to have a solution to this annoyance but I'm afraid it'll be to revert to a previous version....
