My task bar top and bottom aren't showing?

I was watching movies through my itunes last night and now my screen saver and the bar on top and bottom of my screen saver page aren't showing, just a black screen. And, also when I try to reply to an email in my Mail, the response shows up behind my mail page, so I don't actually know it has responded until I clear my Mail screen away. Usually, when I do an email response it shows up on the original email?

Hello, TallSknyWhtGuy. 
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
If your are unable to view any of your past purchases after setting your device up as new, I would recommend checking to see if you purchased these items with a secondary Apple ID.  Below, here is an article that will walk you through how to check which Apple ID was used to purchase this content.
The items you are trying to play might have been purchased using a different iTunes Store account. To determine which account was used to purchase an item, follow these steps:
Select a purchased song in your library and choose File > Get Info.
Click the Summary tab. Note the Account Name that appears in the list. This is the account name (Apple ID) you will need to use when authorizing your computer to play this purchase.
Note: The account name that appears is the one you used when purchasing the item and does not change if the account name (Apple ID) changes.
If you've authorized the Apple ID that is shown in the Summary tab, you can check the purchase history for that Apple ID from Store > View My Account. If your purchase history does not reflect the purchase of the items in your iTunes library, consider any other Apple ID you may have created, and authorize the computer for your additional Apple ID.
If you forgot the password to one of your accounts, you can recover it using Apple's password-recovery website.
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

  • TS3899 I am unable to access my mail account. I press the mail icon, the page refreshes to the mail format page - blue bar top and bottom, white text space in the middle.... and that is as far as it goes. It does not list my email accounts or offer any.

    I am unable to access my mail account on my iphone, which I have been able to do previously. I press the mail icon, the page refreshes to the mail format page - blue bar top and bottom, white text space in the middle.... and that is as far as it goes. It does not list my email accounts or offer any.

    Close the mail app, double tap the home button and completely close out of the app.
    then do a reset, no data loss.  Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

  • Widescreen analogue video converted A-D has bars top and bottom?

    I have converted a 16:9 video on VHS tape to PAL DV using a Canopus converter.
    This creates a widescreen image with black bars top and bottom in the PAL 4:3 frame and when played on a widescreen TV the 16:9 image occupies the central portion of the screen with black bars all round.  (It looks OK on a 4:3 CRT as it fills the width of the screen with just bars above and below.)
    Ideally I would like the image to fill the 16:9 TV screen. Using the zoom control on the TV is not an answer as it zooms too much and I lose parts of the picture and get unnecessary degradation.
    Is there a reasonably simple solution using FCP 7 or its companion apps?
    I also have FCP X  .  .  .  .  though I don't know whether that helps!

    The Canopus shouldn't be converting to letterbox 4:3 on it's own. If the video was 16:9 going in, why wouldn't it be 16:9 going out? A 4:3 aspect program will naturally have a pillarbox on a 16:9 monitor. Even if it has letterbox bars to begin with.
    And if you take it into FCP, what aspect appears there?

  • Vimeo Embed - Remove Black Bars Top and Bottom

    I have used the Vimeo widget to embed videos on my Adobe Muse site. I am using BC as the hosting platform.
    A black bar is showing up on all my videos on the top and bottom. The videos are 1280x720p. In the vimeo website preview this is not happening so I am thinking this is a result of the Vimeo Widget settings in Muse. It does not matter how big or small I make the widget box, this happens.
    I can't find anywhere in Firebug that gives me the ability to alter the padding or margin to edit this.

    Any ideas?

    If anyone else has this problem here is the solution I came up with:
    CSS (can be inline or linked to stylesheet)
    .video-wrapper {
    position: relative;
    padding-bottom: 54.1%;
    padding-top: 2.2%;
    height: 0;
    .video-wrapper iframe {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    HTML
    <div class="embed-vimeo ">
              <div class="video-wrapper">
    <iframe  src="//player.vimeo.com/video/xxxxxxxx"  height="335" width="505" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe>

  • Thin gray bars top and bottom

    After a lockup where I had to hard reboot and restore, two thin gray bars appeared on screen, at very top and very bottom. They hid the small battery icon at top.
    Called Apple and they will give me a new one. Could not find other topics online about this same hardware issue. Seems it was the screen board that was defective. This occurred only after about 6 weeks of use.

    Yeah the thin lines were not there originally on the iPod Touch. They appeared suddenly and hid about 3/4 of the small battery icon right across the top and bottom, so definitely a defect. The lines would not flip when the iPod was placed in landscape mode. They were along the top and bottom only (portrait mode and did not disappear when placed landscape).
    This was after my screen went completely WHITE and I couldn't return to normal until I pressed the power and mode buttons.
    Must admit Apple was on the ball and gave me no hassle. They sent me a prepaid box within a day, in which I placed the iTouch, and I simply called UPS for pickup as pre-established in the instructions. Painless and free. All labels were preprinted.

  • Widescreen has black bars top and bottom

    Imported a widescreen DV file into FCP5, rendered it, looks widescreen in the canvas but has black bars which are always exported. But I want to end up with a DVD that is full screen/widescreen when viewed on a widescreen TV or LCD monitor. How to get that and get rid of black bars?

    In the menu bar: go to Final Cut Pro > Easy Setup. Choose DV-NTSC Anamorphic. Click OK.
    Go to Sequence > Settings > Load Sequence Preset and click OK.
    Right click your clip in the Browser and choose Item Properties > Format. Click next to Anamorphic in the clip column to place a checkmark. Click OK.

  • Firefox has spontaneously decided not to show the task bar at the bottom of the screen, and some menu bars have been messed up. How can I fix this?

    My Firefox has spontaneously (apparently) decided not to show the task bar at the bottom of the screen (the margin is there, but it is blank), and some menu bars have been messed up. Perhaps the most annoying aspect of these changes is the fact that I have to use alt-tab to move from a Firefox session to another session.
    I can find no way to fix these problems. Can you help? Am I going to have to uninstall and re-install Firefox in order to get back to the default settings? If so, is there any way to preserve my bookmarks?

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).<br />
    If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.<br />
    You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.

  • IMovie is outputting my movie with big black bars at top and bottom that I don't want

    Quicktime: Ver 10.3
    iMovie: Ver 10.0.5
    OS: OS X Ver 10.9.4
    So, let me try and explain...
    I have recorded gameplay footage of my game directly from my Mac screen using Quicktime's Record Screen option. I've tried recording both in fullscreen mode (with my game also running in fullscreen mode) and a section of the screen by dragging the mouse to select a 640X960 box (with my game running in windowed mode which is displayed at 640x960 resolution).
    This initial recording direct from the screen displays fine, both when I view it in windowed mode and when I view it fullscreen, with the height of the game stretching to the full height of the video area but obviously with big black borders to either side in fullscreen mode (as it's basically iPhone ratio in portrait mode).
    WindowedFullscreen
    This ^^^ is how they should look.
    The problem is when I try to import the movie into iMovie, mess around with some fade-ins and music and stuff and then output the edited movie via iMovie...
    When I then try to view this outputted movie in windowed mode on certain sites (Kickstarter) my game footage doesn't take up the full height of the video and instead floats in the middle with big black bars at the top and bottom, which I don't want. It's fine when I go fullscreen but the problem is that when I load this video into Kickstarter it shows the non-fullscreen view of the video with this big black border and it looks really amateur.
    This is what Kickstarter shows in windowed mode i.e. the way you see Kickstarter videos by default when you press Play; unless I go fullscreen and then it takes up the full heigh of the view.
    Note: Windowed mode actually looks fine when viewed directly on my Mac but I know it's not Kickstarter that is causing the issue because I can see in the thumbnail preview on my Mac that the video is somehow encoded with the big black bars at the top and bottom. Also, I uploaded the unedited videos to Kickstarter just to check and they display fine. So it's definitely iMovie that is adding these annoying black borders at the top and bottom for whatever reason (and I'm not intentionally scaling the video down in iMove or anything like that as far as I know). I also can't use the unedited footage however because it has no sound and no transitions etc.
    Does anyone know what night be causing this and how to get rid of it.

    You are lucky to see anything - iMovie 5 is not really compatible with Snow Leopard, which only supports iMovie 6 and above.
    Snow Leopard only runs on Intel Macs. iMovie 5 was never written, AFAIK, for Intel, just for the PPC Macs they had in those old days!

  • My first gen ipad wont rotate. The side button is on mute, the lock switch is on mute,the task bar at the bottom is not locked and i reset the all setting. still wont rotate.

    My first generation Ipad wont rotate. I checked the switch next to the volume, In General "use slideswitch" is on "mute" and the task bar at the bottom the lock "orientation" symbol in not engaged. i have also reset all setting. still wont roate. also games that require movement of the ipad dont work. Any thoughts anyone?

    Well then the screen definitely isn't locked.
    i wonder of you close all pas in the task bar if that would help. Maybe you have an app that is causing the screen to stay locked. Try that and as if that does any good.
    Double tap the home buttons and hold down on any icon until they all wiggle. Then start closing them all by tapping the minus signs. Tap the home button when you are done. Restart the iPad and then try again.

  • Small black bars on the top and bottom on video after exporting?

    I'm using 1280x720 video footage in Adobe Premiere. The problem is, whenever I export my finished project as 1280x720, the newly rendered file has small black bars on the top and bottom.
    These black bars are not there in the Premiere preview, only after the project is rendered.
    The video file created after export is still 1280x720(16:9).
    Is there any way to get rid of these black bars, as they are quite irritating because I make youtube videos regularly.

  • Top and bottom bars

    Hello... im learning flash and i'd like to know how can i
    make upper and lower bar for a website, considering that it's texts
    stick to corners when u resize window or change resolution, like
    these
    samsungexperience.com.br
    compactstudios.com
    For example, in the first site, the buttons stick to lower
    left corner, while the copyright info sticks to the right one and,
    when u resize or change resolution, only the space between then
    changes.
    Thanks in advance

    HI
    With respect to the Samsung site, the entire site is in a swf
    including the top and bottom bars.
    Take a look at the HTML Source in your browser, you'll see
    they've created a DIV with releative positioning based on the size
    of the browser window. There is also a resize function to update
    the relative position of the DIV with respect to the window size.
    All very simple really.
    Hope it helps

  • Top and bottom of FireFox window disappear in seconds (the window expands too far). All other windows operate normally. Now what? I've uninstalled and reinsta

    I was using Firefox for a few years with great enjoyment. Recently I opened it and within a second or so, it enlarged to the point that the top and bottom of the screen expanded off the screen. No other windows in any other program are doing this. The only way to close it is by using the task manager. Very frustrated. What other info do you need?

    Hi ConnieHampton,
    FIrefox will remember the last window size you had, which is why it keeps opening too large each time you open and close it. To fix this, try resetting Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/changes-toolbars-and-window-sizes-are-not-saved?esab=a&s=resize+window&r=7&as=s
    If you don't see your menu bar, you may be in full screen mode, and can turn it off by following these instructions: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-make-firefox-and-websites-go-full-screen?esab=a&s=full+screen&r=0&as=s
    If this doesn't work, please let us know and we'll figure out another way to fix it.

  • Firefox upon opening an image in a new tab, centers the image from top and bottom and surrounds the image with a grey frame. Just started having the problem today, searched Google to no avail.

    Firefox upon opening an image in a new tab, centers the image from top and bottom and surrounds the image with a grey frame. Just started having the problem today, searched Google to no avail.

    Oh wow, looks like a new feature.
    The "page" links in a stylesheet with the address "resource://gre/res/TopLevelImageDocument.css". If you remove that reference, then the image displays in the old style.
    '''''Edit: Please skip the rest of this post and check out the next one.'''''
    There might be a more elegant solution than that, but you could use a bookmarklet to strip out that link when you want to view the page in its old style. A bookmarklet is a snippet of JavaScript you save on the Bookmarks toolbar for quick access.
    First, copy the following code to the clipboard (it's all one long line):
    <br>javascript:var ssheet=document.querySelector('link[href="resource://gre/res/TopLevelImageDocument.css"]'); if(ssheet)ssheet.parentNode.removeChild(ssheet); void 0;
    Next, if you are not displaying the Bookmarks Toolbar, use View > Toolbars > Bookmarks Toolbar to display it. (If you aren't using the classic Menu bar, press Alt+v to call up the old View menu. Right-clicking the gray area just below the page address also allows you to display the Bookmarks Toolbar.)
    Right-click on the Bookmarks Toolbar (or Mac equivalent of right-click!) and choose New Bookmark.
    Paste the code into the Location box (the second box).
    Then type a useful name in the Name box (e.g., Oldstyle Picture) and click Add.
    Now, when you want to tweak the image display, click the button to run the script.
    Manual clicking is a hassle, so it might make sense to look into other solutions. (Greasemonkey didn't seem to work; I think it might not run on .jpg files.)
