IPhone 5 Black Bars When FaceTime When Horizontal

I have an IPhone 5 and when I facetime in horizontal view the black bars appear on the right and left of the screen, making the view smaller than the width of the phone. How does one prevent the black bars from appearing, or is that possible? When in portrait view, the facetime screen fills the entire length of the Iphone which is nice.

Hello Eddygallo,
As I understand it your phone screen is not turning on at all, but does vibrate when you plug it in. I would use these steps from the following article about that sort of issue, named:
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on
If you see a black screen
You might need to charge your device before it can turn on. Plug in your device and let it charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad), then try turning it on.
You should see a battery icon while your device is charging. If you continue to see a black screen, reset your device.
If your device doesn't respond when you press buttons
Your device might not return to the Home screen when you press the Home button, wake from sleep when you press the Sleep/Wake button, slide to unlock or power off, or it might appear frozen. Try these steps:
Restart your device.
If it still doesn't respond, or if it doesn't turn back on, reset your device.
If you still need help after trying the steps above, contact Apple Support.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

Laserjet pro m1530 has black bar at top when copying

Laserjet pro m1530 has black bar at top when copying, scanning bar seems to stick and not reset at top. Turning copier off seems to reset the screen back to top but next copy has same problem. No problem when printing from computer.

Have you tried connecting the print to a different wall outlet or location?
if no please try it and if it doesnt resolve then contact HP Tech support on 1 800 474 6836 and they will asist you further.
Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

Black bar left side when importing

When importing Quicktime HDV 1080i60 video into an HD project, I wind up with a black bar on the left side of the movie. I've tried every combination of HD format and preference setting. Can anyone explain what I'm doing wrong?

For everyone who is interested, I tried some more things:
I had a long phone call today with Apple Support (when upgrading to Mountain Lion you get 90 days phone support again) and we did similar things.
First: change the settings - didnt work
Second: Option+Cmd+P+R to reset PRAM - didnt work either
Third: create a new partition, clean install mountain lion and see if the problem still exists. At the beginning it worked but after once changing the resolution it cant get back to the correct displaying anymore. Same problem also.
They said that then it is probably the fact that the driver of the display doesnt work with ML - I should contact Acer now.
Or I should get back to the technical helpdesk again.
Will try both...
But it means that it is a software issue caused by ML.
Keep on trying...

Black bars on TV when using MHL adaptor and google play movies

I have tried the Z2 tablet using a sony MHL IM750 adapter with different TVs and monitors and it is always the same the black bars are on the screen at the side of the mirror on the TV. Using my old galaxy nexus phone with the MHL adapter I do not get this problem it fills the screen fully.
Also if I try to mirror google play movies through the tablet with the MHL adapter I get an message that it is not secure and it does not allow it to happen. Yet when I do the same through miracast with my LG TV it works! seems a little odd but something to do with HDCP I guess. If I mirror google play movies through my nexus phone on a tv it works fine.
ILooking at a past post I believe that the lack of full screen mirroring was a problem with the tablet z that got rectified by a firmware update lets hope the same happen for the tablet z2.

I used google and found something in the sony z tablet forum.
I think its a problem with the solution and you have to change mhl settings but i cant find a way to change.
Here is the answer i found

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.In the update to Android 4.3 it's possible to adjust the video output size for MHL. From the notification bar you can select MHL settings and then video output size. If set to 100% i have no black bars when testing here.
Looks like a general problem with tablets that have a higher solution than 1080
Should be possible to change the output format to 1080
It would be nice, if i get an answer so i can understand whats the problem and if there will be a way to fix it.
Sorry for my bad english

IPhone black bars around video

I just learned that in order to remove the black bars from a video taken on the iPhone 4 you must take the video by holding the phone sideways (landscape) rather than upright (portrait). I wish I would have know this sooner because I already have taken several videos in portrait mode and have these ugly black bars on both sides of my video. Right now the video looks thin with most of the screen taken up by the black bars on both sides. Is there anyway I can remove these black bars in the video that I have already taken? I can't retake the video since the job is complete so I really need these to work. I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 for my video editing. Thank you!

Thanks for the reply.
When you open a project, you or the project needs to set a project preset to match the properties of your source file that you are going to import into the project.
You need a match between the project preset and the properties of the source so that the project is directed to set up the
correct space for editing in the Edit area monitor. Unless you can settle for black borders, you need
to make a match between project settings and source media properties.
There is no 1280 x 600 pixels project preset in Premiere Elements - video is typically 4:3 or 16:9. 1280 x 600 is neither.
Some possibilities...
a. You could record your images to 1280 x 720 16:9
b. You could import your 1280 x 600 video into a 1280 x 720 project with 1280 x 720 Edit area monitor space and then scale (zoom in) the image until
it fills the Edit area Space without black borders.
Can you alter your recording settings so the your recording is either 4:3 or 16:9 video?
When you get to exporting your Timeline content, you have more flexibility in the export settings.
Please let me know what the requirements are for your export of your Timeline with this 1280 x 600 video.
Thanks.

320x240 QT export produces black bars on right and left

Ok, this one is strange. So far, it only appears to affect 320x240 targets from sources that don't have square pixels. Starting with a 720x480 DV movie (even if I change the properties to display 640x480), I export directly to 320x240 and I get a movie with black bars down the right and left. I did not tell QT to letterbox or scale, although telling it to scale does no help.
The problem seems to be in the meta data. If I go to the movie's visual properties and change the move dimensions to 324x240 (with preserve aspect ratio unchecked), then the black bars disappear. When I change it back to 320x240, they are still gone and the movie plays fine. I save it and reopen it, and the black bars are back! The same thing happens exporting from Final Cut Pro using Quicktime conversion. This is definitely a bug.
The work around is to export to another 4:3 format with square pixels first and export that to 320x240.
On a related note, the same thing happens when I record a movie in Quicktime at 320x240. I get a recording with black bars down the sides.
This has never happened to me before. I'm a professional QT software developer and a content producer. I've been using Quicktime Pro for a decade, at least. I've been over all of the export settings, and I've deleted all of my Quicktime preference files.
Is there a way to report a bug to Apple?

Regarding: "there's a pretty good chance that your playback target isn't Quicktime Player"...
My assumption is that if your material is 320x240, it's probably that size because you're planning to either display it on a small-screen device, send it to a TV set, embed it in a presentation, or deliver it via the Web. In any of those cases, your final delivery target isn't QuickTime Player, but rather some other mode, such as the QuickTime web plug-in, iPod, AppleTV, or even some other option. In which case the strangeness with the player doesn't seem so strange.
As a workaround, you could layer your 320x240 movie with at 350x240 grey rectangle on the layer behind. That would fix it in QuickTime Player, but it would cause grey bars on either side if you embed into a web page or something like that.

How do I fix the black bars showing up on most of the drodown menus, such as the bookmarks or the orange firefox file button? (running windows 7)

Every time a dropdown menu is opened, black bars cover all the selections. The specific black bar will disappear when the mouse hovers over it but all the rest remain covered. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and removed all personal information such as saved passwords and bookmarks with no success.

hello, try to press ctrl+0 ('zero') while you're on the affected pages in order to reset the zoom level or in case this doesn't work also go through the other common troubleshooting steps at [[Websites look wrong or appear differently than they should]].

Annoying black bar over iPhone apps when on iPad

When using iPhone / iPod Touch apps on my iPad, there's a big black bar at the top which displays wireless connection, time, and battery life. It gets in the way of functionality and makes some apps simply unusable. How do I get rid of it?

Why not download the ipad version of the app.

When I rotate my video clip so that is isn't viewed sideways, it has black bars on both sides and some of picture is missing. Can I rotate the image so it plays rightside up without the black bars? The image was taken by an iPhone. I am viewing it on PC

Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information.

Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them.

I booted up this morning to find my voice over feature active. A black bar was at the lower left corner of my screen. When I began to click on the users in my login window it would not respond. All that I saw was the black bar saying authentication busy. I was not able to restart, I was not able to switch users, I was not able to shut down. I decided to manually shut down my Mac. when it booted back up I was looking at the disk utility screen. When I clicked on repair or race it indicated that my hard drive had already been arranged. I was looking at completely formatted drive and I was having to either restore from Time Machine or reinstall lion. I had a back up but why did this happen?

A possible workaround could be to have the horizontal scroll bar visible all the time.

My play lists and songs on iTunes and on my iPhone won't play. They are light grey instead of black and nothing happens when I click on the songs. All of the songs were either from CD's or from iTunes that I purchased. I have home sharing turned on. This is a new issue. It used to work fine. I tried restarting my iPhone and syncing with iTunes.

Try delete those songs using iTunes by de-selecting and sync. After that mark those songs and sync again.

When I render my video I get a black bar on the left side of the screen

I just upgraded to FCS 2 and so far it's been a complete waste of money. I'm having nothing but problems with FCP, Compressor, and QMaster. I will just post my FCP problem here.
I've edited a weekly video podcast and everything looks great, until I render it and export it. When I render it, I get a constant, solid black bar on the far left of the video that takes up about 5% of the screen. My layers are definitely sized correctly to fill up the entire canvas, and they are all centered. I cannot figure out why I am getting this black bar or how to get rid of it without ditching the upgrade and going back to FCP5.1.
I have already tried completely uninstalling the FCS suite and reinstalling. No luck. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks for the reply.
My original source material is in Apple Intermediate Codec, with 32-bit float audio and a variable frame rate. This has not been friendly to FCP, so I use Quicktime to convert it to Apple ProRes with 24-bit audio and 29.97 frame rate. This is what I import into FCP.
My sequence settings are set to the same specs as my source material. 854x480, square pixels, no field dominance, Apple ProRes compression.
The black bar on the left side of the screen shows up before I even export. It shows up when I render everything.
I am exporting with Quicktime Conversion to:
MP4
h.264 codec
720x405
1000 video bit rate
Main Profile
No cropping/filters or anything.
The ONLY thing I did different before upgrading to FCP6 was that I used Apple Intermediate Codec all the way through. I was told by an FCP instructor that writes and publishes all kinds of FCP training material that I should upgrade to FCP6 and use the Apple ProRes422 Codec instead, so that's what I'm trying to do.
I am going back to restart my project using Apple Intermediate Codec all the way through like I used to, but it will be awhile before I can tell if that solved the problem. Either way, I would like to be using the ProRes codec....
Thoughts?

My horizontal scroll bar went missing when I maximise the window. How do I fix them?

My horizontal scroll bar went missing when I maximise the window. How do I fix them? I tried everything; such as auto hide the task bar. Even with this, I still can't see the horizontal scroll bar. I even tried the following and I still can't see the horizontal scroll bar.
1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste dom and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the dom.disable_window_open_feature.scrollbars preference to switch it from false to true. By choosing true, you disable sites from deciding whether there can be scrollbars on a window, and Firefox uses its standard behavior for the page.
If you want to always get other bars, here are the corresponding settings:
Menu Bar: dom.disable_window_open_feature.menubar
Navigation Toolbar: dom.disable_window_open_feature.toolbar
Bookmarks Toolbar: dom.disable_window_open_feature.personalbar
Please help.

Black bars when AirPlay Mirroring

I have an LH 55" TV that I've connected my 3rd Gen AppleTV to via HDMI. I have the resolution set at "Auto" which sets it to full 1080p - 60hz. When I view anything on the AppleTV it takes up the full screen real estate. However, when I mirror almost anything other than a video, I get black bars around the edges. This is wasted space.
It makes sense if there were black bars on the right and left because of the mismatched resolution. However, there are bars at the top and bottom too.
I have searched numerous forums and found nothing on this.
I am using an iPad 2.
Any ideas?
Apple, please fix this issue.

mikecreates, did you find the solution to your problem? I know exactly what you are talking about because I have the exact same issue as yours.
I have a newly purchased LG 47" LCD. I connected both my new ipad and the AppleTV (3rd generaion) to the same router, when viewing AppleTV everything looks fine and full screen, but when mirroring the ipad on the HDTV I'd get the black bars around the TV screen (top/bottom/left and right) when running apps, viewing photos, checking emails, etc. The only exception is mirroring a movie in which case it shows full screen on the TV.
I found a way to get around this by changing the Aspect Ratio to Cinema Zoom 3 on my LG HDTV, then the ipad mirroring looks normal on the TV screen (no black bars on top/bottom screen), but doing this will cause the video to be overscan and out of proportion on the TV. So this is really not an ideal solution since I'll have to switch the aspect ratio back and forth when doing different things (running apps or watching movies) in order to make the mirroring look full screen on the HDTV.
Did anyone know the proper fix?
