IPad VGA projected image offset and cut off

I bought an iPad VGA cable last night and hooked it up to my Optoma PT-100 projector (cheap kiddie projector, 854x480 resolution).
I tried slideshow and the pictures were horizontally stretched.  Bummer.
Then I tried netflix and I noticed a far more serious problem - the screen is offset to the right and the right quarter of the screen is cut off. The left quarter is totally black.
There's no settings anywhere for this thing so I wasn't really sure what to do / how to fix?
I have not tried hooking it up to a different monitor yet.

So half of it was just the projector not doing a very good job of resetting itself. That was the shift and the right quarter being cut off. All I needed to do there was power it off and on again and it resets the image.
The other part is really frustrating. This is where your answer did help. For some odd reason, the VGA cable is giving a 4:3 image to my projector which I don't get at all. But changing that setting in the projector did help.  This is especially weird because when I tested it on my tv it put out a 16:9 image.
I think if I play with the Netflix screen modes setting I might be able to get a full 16:9 image. What's frustrating about apple's "it just works" philosophy is when it doesn't and there's no way to try and workaround the issue.

  • Significance of Pay Date,Direct Deposit,Pay Advice and Cut-Off

    Hello,
    Can somebody please tell me how the number of days mentioned against Pay Date,Direct Deposit,Pay Advice and Cut-Off play a role in the payroll processing?
    Eg:Direct Deposit of -3 from the end of the month that ie. 28th Jan if it is month of Jan.
    Regards,
    Gayatri

    In the Date Offset region, you can change the zero default to a negative or positive number of days before or after the period end date. For example, for a semi-monthly payroll, the Cut Off date can be 3 days before the period end date (-3), while the Scheduled Run and Check dates can be 5 and 7 days after this date, respectively.
    The Check Date, sometimes called Pay Date, is the date of constructive receipt of pay, on which paychecks become negotiable.
    The Scheduled Run Date is the date scheduled for the Regular run of this payroll each period.
    The Cut Off date, included for your reference, is the final date for entering or changing payroll information before a run.
    These offsets are the defaults for the calendar. You can manually make date changes in the calendar, for example when an offset date falls on a weekend or holiday, by choosing the Period Dates button.
    Hope this will help!

  • How do I increase image of iPad when projecting through AppleTV and projector?

    I have several AppleTVs hooked to either NEC or Mitshbishi projectors.  From iPads I connect to the AppleTVs via AirPlay and mirror.  The problem is that the iPad projected image is small and cannot be increased that much.  I have messed with resolution on both the AppleTVs and the projectors but the image size doesn't increase that much, even when I hit the Magnify button on the projector's remote.  It's especially small when holding the iPad in portrait, but increases somewhat while in landscape, but never completely fills the projector screen like the AppleTV homescreen or while projecting a laptop image.  Is there a way to increase the size of the projected iPad image?

    I have this same issue.
    Is there an app that would work better for this?
    I'd much rather use a text app in portrait mode, but if needed I can make snapshots of the screen and use images. But I also need the image or document scaled as large as possible on the projector screen.
    Does anyone know of an app I should be using or solution?
    I am a worship leader at a small church. I want to mirror my ipad from the platform so the other musicians can see the lyrics and chords. My ipad needs to be in portrait mode. Again, I'd much rather use a text app, but can work around using a image if I must.
    Thank you for your time,
    Dave

  • HD import to iMovie okay, but movie is grainy and cut-off on QuickTime

    I have Canon HD video camera set to FXP mode.
    Imported video looks OK in iMovie, but when I export to QuickTime (I selected BEST quality), movie looks grainy and the image is cropped in the vertical axis (heads cut-off).
    By contrast, when I use the Pixela software that came with the camera and import to my PC (boo!), and then export to .mpeg, movie quality is FINE and very sharp.
    Am I setting up QuickTime export wrong?
    Any suggestions much appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • I am running on OSx 10.6.8 using a HP officejet 6000 printer. On a 8.5x11 paper, I cannot print closer than 5/8" at bottom. Images or type cuts off at that point. HP says it's an mac problem. I tried changing evry possible print setting. Am I missing somt

    Running on OSx 10.6.8 using a new HP Officejet 6000 printer. How can I get to within 1/8" on all sides of an 8.5x11 sheet of paper. Images and copy cuts off at 5/8" at bottom. HP says it's a mac problem, not an HP problem. I tried every combination of print settings. Nothing has solved the problem. Have I missed something?

    Yes you are unfortunately you as the consumer are caught in the middle. I totally disagree with what HP told you, they supply the print drivers to Apple, Apple doesn't write printer drivers that I know of. Look in the print settings to see if you can go below 5/8", I know I can with my HP printers (Laserjet 1012, Color Laserjet 2600N, OfficeJet 7410 & OfficeJet 7700 series) so I'm sure the issue is specific to the OJ6000 series.

  • Interactive Image - Text Gets Cut Off

    Please see image - When second line (unbolded text) is not as lengthy as first line (bolded text) it cuts off. Is this a glitch or can I fix this somehow?

    The first thought is did you save evenything.  I have tried to reproduce your actions - but with a nor text box.. I have no shift in colour.
    Are you  using a standard text box?
    The next thing I see is you  appear to have chosen Apples free template "Editorial" and use it in its standard form.
    Although text box's are not controlled by teh default  template settings,, its advisable to first decide your colour scheme and basic layout in the template - Apple Changes to everything you changed - even of it does request you to.
    The thumb shows the text  box seems to  overlay a photo galleryor some other widget.
    Are you aware that even the basic template sits in layers stacked front to back if any object  on your screen is not  full size, then its possible another layer is cut off ie the content is forced  to flow under a layer which sits on a higher lever.
    In iBA select a layer that is "cut off" and select ARRANGE in the top menu bar and click on Move to front. Check if your  lost content appears. It may be one or more layers are active at levels which block your content.
    Using a basic free template and  then changing content in any way  just on  your work page - can often result  in the default setting overriding your choice in preview.

  • Imported image sequences get cut off half-way through

    Hi there! I'm trying to import an image sequence (jpeg) into Premiere Pro CS4 4.2.1 and having trouble getting the clip to play in entirety. My sequence is 24 fps and the footage I'm bringing in is a 5-second piece interpreted at 12 fps. (It was shot at 12 fps via Dragonframe software, on 1's). Unfortunately, the clip gets cut off half-way through. If I play it at 24 fps it's all there but much too short of course, and the wrong speed. If I play it back at 12 fps, only the first half or so of it shows up. All the files are numbered correctly, so there shouldn't be a cut-off. I feel like this might be some obvious problem, but google-and-forum searches have yielded nary a result. Anyone run into this or be able to tell me what I'm doing wrong?
    Background info: I'm on a Dell Inspiron 1525, Windows Vista, 32-bit operating system, using Premiere Pro CS4 4.2.1, importing jpegs as an image sequence/numbered stills. Not running any other software, codecs, playback engines etc. to my knowledge.
    Many thanks!

    Thanks, John and Jim.
    I went in to change the Indeterminate Media Timebase to 12, but there's no such number option in CS4. The lowest is 23.9-something, and 24 is the next one up. After bringing the sequence in and playing it in the little preview box in the upper left-hand corner, everything's there, but bringing it into the time-line cuts it off. Is this a glitch? Any other known ways around it? Worst comes to worst I guess would be importing the sequence in two halves.

  • When printing a simple single photo, my picture looks fine until I press the print button, then the view of what it is going to print looks like it has zoomed in and cuts off part of my original picture.  This does this with every picture I try to print.

    When I press print, it looks like it crops or zooms my original pictures and cuts it off, on the print view. Therefore it only prints a zoomed in partial picture?  Anyone else have this problem?

    This usually occurs because you're printing a photo in an Aspect Ratio different from the actual shot. The Aspect Ratio is the shape of the photo, expressed as the length x breadth.
    So, if you have - for instance - a 4:3 shot and try print that at  4:6 you will have issues.

    5th Sep (Thurs) at 2:50PM: BT enginner came to my house and he cut off the broadband line without my permission.
    After that, I phone BT almost every day (6th to 11th Sep) what is going on??? However, BT operators didn't explain it to me any ditails.... THe said just excuse....
    12th Sep (Thurs): I phoned BT and BT operator said that one of their managers would phone me tomorrow(13th Sep Fri.).
    HOWEVER, NOBODY PHONED ME !!!
    13th Sep (Fri): I had to phone BT at 5:00PM. I was very very upset at that time, because we couldn't use any internet.
    BT operator said that BT would phone me around 3:00PM tomorrow.
    14th Sep (Sat): Finally, BT phone me at 2:50PM and BT operator (Female) said that BT obtain permission for digging from Council. Therfore, it would be fixed soon.

    We have used a Japanese broadband (NOT BT Broadband). We used BT line with the Japanese broadband. Therefore, BT doesn't care my problem. We can not use internet more than 1 month... We had to use a pocket FiWi which I had to top up £25 for 7GB X 7 times so far..... (my children needs to connect internet for homework, download etc...)
    I asked BT to use BT Wifi but I havn't used BT broadband. That is why they didn't support customer's care.
    I am very very upset... I had to keep paying the pocket wifi until BT fix the line..
    BT doesn't care the costomer's condition at all. Only care the customers who using BT products.
    I am very much upset this service... However, I have to use BT line after fixing it.... very sad......

  • Ipad mini audio is distorted and cuts out.

    Since updating to ios 7 the ipad mini sound keeps cutting out and is constantly distorted through the speakers and through headphones.
    The side button doesn't mute the sound even though it is set to do that in settings.
    I have two other identical spec ipad minis that are both fine and have none of thee problems since upgrading to ios 7
    Any ideas?

    I had the same problem, but it was fixed after I closed down all apps and restarted my iPad again.

  • Stop centered background image from getting cut off by a shrinking window

    My problem can be seen at cortw.public.iastate.edu
    my background image is centered to the top of the screen. When the browser window shrinks, I want the background image to stop moving when it reaches the edge of the screen. Currently, the image continues to move past the edge of the window.  I want to create an affect similar to apple.com and Facebook.com
    I have little experience coding. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Your CSS is seriously flawed.  Replace what you have now with this CSS code and it will work better:
    body {
    padding:0;
    width: 980px;
    margin:0 auto;  /**centered on screen**/
    color: #333;
    background: #FFF url(background.jpg) no-repeat;
    /**menu**/
    #apDiv2 {
    margin:55px 0 0 350px;
    For best results, don't use positioning.  You don't need it.  Use CSS margins, padding and floats to align elements on screen.
