Media Player plays, but screen really small and won't play in IE

I have created a website and want to place video on it, with working controls for visitors. Wanting visitors to view the video in regular screen size and full screen on their demand.
I have been able to get the video to work on firefox, but the screen appears small inside the media player, and it will not work in IE. What am I doing wrong? I will like to add many more videos to my website, once I find out what my problem is. Can somebody help me?

Are you using the windows media player plugin? The video did not load at all for me and I'm using firefox.
You could also use the plug in tool. I find that quicktime works better for me than windows media for some reason. If you would like to see a few of my videos to give you an idea go to www.memorabledvd.com and check out the site.
If the video appears small, it might not be formatted right. If your video editor allows you to output the video to a different size ie. 500x500 or something like that, play with the settings. Remember though, the bigger the picture, the larger the file, the longer the person needs to wait to view it.
Hope this helps.

I bought an audiobook and downloaded it, but it's grey and won't play

I'm traveling, we downloaded the book, and the artwork and info show up in iTunes, but I can't get it to play. Any help?!

It should have downloaded into the Music app (iTunes on the iPad is just the iTunes store) - when you have audiobooks on the iPad you should get an Audiobooks option via the More button at the bottom of the Music app.

Tracks still play but are really tiny and to the left.

It's like I've either shrunk them down, accidentally to an unmanageable size, or they're covered up or something. Does anyone know what I did wrong?!? Thanks in advance.

Did you mean tinny? Not sure exactly what you can do about that though volume, echo and reverb settings might help you get a more pleasing sound. Each track has an independent pan control.

The movie I rented has frozen midway through, the screen is black and won't play. What di I do?

Can someone tell me how to fix.

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

When I go to view a video I downloaded from iTunes the screen goes black and won't play. Tried turning it off multiple times. Still downs not work

Worst part is I am on a plane and now have time to kill as I can't watch my movie right now

Quit the video app and try again.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit the app by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on the video app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the app. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Launch the video app again and see what happens.
If that doesn't work - go to the home screen again and swipe to the right to bring up the search feature. Type the name of the movie in the search field at the top. If the movie shows up in the search - tap on the icon and hopefully it will start playing. Let it play for a couple of minutes and tap done. go back to the video app and see if the movie appears there. If so you should be able to play it from there.
If that doesn't work, try resetting the iPad and launch the video app again.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

A small bug in Windows Media Player 12 on Windows 8.1 and Windows 7

First of all, do excuse me as I have absolutely no idea where to go to report bugs in either Windows Media Player, or the Microsoft's Media Foundation filters that most probably handle the actual parsing and decoding. I see that some related bug reports
have gotten noticed here on the Technet forums, and thus ended up writing here.
Some time ago I helped a fellow internet user to update his encoding pipe line from quite an older version of ffmpeg and libx264 to a newer one. After some testing, I noticed him being unhappy with the result because of "black borders" around the
video clip, but only in WMP12, not in other players. Being interested in what this was, I went on and started checking out the behavior.
What I found out is that, with the newer ffmpeg and libx264, WMP12 was only seeing the video resolution (which was 1440x1080) at first, and resized/matched the player window according to that. Only after that did it then, within this window, actually show
the video and apply the correct aspect ratio to it (4:3 sample/pixel aspect ratio, or 16:9 display aspect ratio). In other words, the video would play correctly, but within a 4:3 display aspect ratio video surface, leading to black bars on the top and the
bottom.
Now, if you manually resize the window, the black borders would of course go away. This is because they were not part of the video, but just something the player had based its window size calculations on originally. With the older ffmpeg + libx264 mix
things would Just Work, and the auto-sizing worked.
So I went off to look up all the data in the files that could relate to aspect ratio :) .
[tkhd: Track Header Box] in the container has the width and height set to 1920x1080 in both files, so this is most probably ignored
[pasp: Pixel Aspect Ratio Box] in the container is only present in the new one, and thus most probably ignored. hSpacing and vSpacing are set to 4 and 3, thus becoming 4:3 (this is the
pixel or sample aspect ratio, so this is correct for 1440x1080 to be shown as 16:9). This information, if available, should trump the aspect ratio information in the stream (a quote from ISO/IEC 14496-12: "These
(pasp and clap boxes) are both optional; if present, they over-ride the declarations (if any) in
structures specific to the video codec, which structures should be examined if these boxes are absent.") .
In the actual AVC/H.264 stream both files have aspect_ratio_idc set. The older file has the value set to 255 (Extended_SAR structure follows), and Extended_SAR then contains sar_width set to 4 and sar_height set to 3. On the newer file, on the other hand,
we have a value of 14. Looking at the H.264 specification, value 14 is defined as "4:3 , 1440x1080 16:9 frame without horizontal overscan"
So... Since the pasp box seems to be completely irrelevant and ignored, and since the tkhd box contains exactly the same information in both cases and thus seems to be ignored, the only thing that comes to mind is that:
Only the information from the AVC/H.264 video stream is actually taken into mention at this stage.
The AVC/H.264 video stream parser does not know the aspect_ratio_idc value 14.
I haven't actually tried to change the values in the parameter set's VUI parameters around to be sure of this being the reason, but, unless WMP misunderstands what the pasp box's value means (4:3 read as the aspect ratio for the whole picture, instead of
one sample/pixel), that's the only reason I can see this happening because of.
A small sample mp4 file for this issue is provided at fushizen.eu/samples/wmp12_mp4/merry_christmas.mp4 . Having the automatic zoom set to 50% does help replicating it with smaller displays :) . WMP will resize its video window to a 4:3 display aspect ratio,
and then show the 16:9 display aspect ratio content within that. This happens with both Windows 8.1 as well as Windows 7, on Windows Media Player 12.
Now, if the issue is actually on ffmpeg's or libx264's side, feel free to note the technical problems with the sample, and I will review and then report them if I see the related specifications agreeing on the issue. So far this seems to be purely a problem
with the related Media Foundation filters, and/or Windows Media Player 12.

I have a lot of grief with this version of Windows Media Player.
It is very buggy and frustrating to use.
I have my Music library on a QNAP NAS, which is as reliable as they come.
System notifications make it not save changes. It also does not do a good job of interpreting albums and artists from folders. Changes to track names are not saved, nor are tracks moved to other albums, renamed albums, changes to genre, artist
or date. It separates and merges albums/tracks without sense or reason. Some changes I've made up to 4 times, then closed WMP and re-started my machine to check if it has/hasn't saved the changes. Often it has not.
This is the first time I've used WMP in this capacity, and I do not recommend it.
New service pack please.

Video will not play but audio is loud and clear

When in safari I click on play button for movie, the scren goes white, adio plays but screen stays white.

Do you have Flash Player installed?
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:

I downloaded an album but some of the songs won't play - says my computer isn't authorized to play the song. I checked the authorization, and this computer is authorized. How do I fix this?

If just some of the tracks on the album are doing that, that suggests those tracks are damaged.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.

Screen lights up, music plays, but screen is blank

I have just recently sent in my first ipod mini to the Apple repair service. They sent me a replacement ipod. The replacement worked fine for a while but is now acting up.
The screen lights up, and the music plays just fine, but the screen is blank.
I have tried to plug the ipod into my computer - itunes does recognize it and updates it.
I have also tried to reset and restore the ipod, but to no avail.
I have contacted Apple repair services again, but they want me to send in the proof of purchase...but this is the replacement ipod that they had sent me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Just try filling out the online form...
http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod
If the bother to call and ask for the proof of purchase through that, then just say that it is an exchanged iPod.
See when they say this one was purchased. Go to the link below and on the right a few scrolls down the page there is an about your apple product box. Enter your Serial Number. If it is under a year there, you need not send anything in...

Has someone encounter thsi problem?
Any solution?

These apps are probably meant for the iPhone/iPod touch. Some apps are universal, and other have dedicated iPad versions.

My ipad air2 screen is black and won't come on. I can hear siri but she says she cant work right now. What do I do?

If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.
