'Now Playing' screen shows only the outline of a black rectangle
Hey,
As the subject suggests, my 'now playing' screen doesn't show any of the artist/title/album info but rather shows the outline of a black rectangle that takes up most of the screen. When changing the volume the little volume bar doesn't show up either. Everything else seems to be working fine. I don't exactly want to reset my ipod, but any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
*Reset is not pushing the central button several
time.
i know, but thats how u cycle through menus
You must hold down the central button AND the menu
button for about 6 seconds, or until you see the
Apple logo. No worry reset doesn't do anything bad,
it does only restart your iPod (like restarting your
computer). Even if you don't use your iPod for about
a day, it will eventually turn off to heavy sleep,
and you will have to start it again (like normally,
only difference is the Apple logo screen).

Import a image intor an hole pattern and show only the outlines?
Hi,
I have a small problem: I have several images which I need to import / combine with an hole pattern. Then I just need the outlines of the holes (each color) for laser cutting. Doing by hand and coloring each dot will makes me crazy... Does somebody know how to make this in some few steps ???
Many thx in advance

What does it mean when the screen shows only the time and the play button
what does it mean when i turn on my i-pod and it has a white screen and all it displays is the time and the play button cant get to the main screen to play music
Is the hold switch in the on position? Try resetting the iPod. To do this, press and hold both the Select/Center and menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear. The iPod may have simply locked up.

Mac book air connected to a dell screen shows only the background
Why can I only see the background on my Dell monitor which is connected via the thunderbolt connection using a display cable please?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
It's working correctly, but it's in extended mode. To put a window onto your monitor, drag a window to the right of your MacBook Air's screen. If you want to show the same in your Mac and external display, press Command and F1 keys. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5019 -
I updated my itunes for my Ipad while connected to my computer. Now my ipad is frozen on an iTunes logo, an arrow, and a usb cord. Nothing seems to fix it. What can I do. All my business calander, etc is stored on my Ipad. HELP!
I don't fully understand what the System Reset does but I've found that it cures many ills. It's easy, quick 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.
A System Reset does not remove any apps, music, movies, etc. nor does it cause any settings to revert back to default. -
My phone will not turn off, has not done so for ages, Today I tried to upgrade which failed . Now my screen shows only the itunes symbol and a usb lead. When I connect to itunes it informs me the sim card is not supported though it works on other phones. HELP
Try a Hard Reset.....
Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button AND the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen, it can take 10 or more seconds. Ignore the swipe to turn off message. -
Hi,
Our setup
A new iPod Touch 5 with iOS 8.3.
Living room speakers that use a Logitech Bluetooth Audio Adapter.
Kitchen speakers that use an AmazonBasics Bluetooth 4.0 Audio Receiver.
The iPod connects to both but always wants to play to the kitchen. To play in the living room, we have to unplug the power to the kitchen speakers. Bluetooth settings screen doesn't let you select between Bluetooth connections. All I seem to be able to do is forget the connection.
We also have an old iPod Touch (not sure of the generation, but it has iOS 6.1.6). On that one, there is a little icon on the now playing screen that would open a little pull-down menu to let you select which Bluetooth connection to use for playing audio.
I don't see the "select output" icon on the new now playing screen
Jimmy
PS the iPod seems very aggressive in connecting. I hear the living room speakers activate when my wife gets out of the car in the driveway. Then as she comes into the living room, the sound switches to the kitchen.Thanks, this was the clue I needed to figure it out.
From Settings you can pull up Control Center.
In Control Center you can enable "Access from within Apps" (also "Access from Lockscreen")
Now when I'm playing music, I can swipe up from the bottom and a little control center window slides up. Neat - this is new since my old iPod. On this window, the name of the current Bluetooth connection appears. Tap on that, and a list of connected Bluetooth items appears. I just tap on the one I want to connect to and I am now playing through the speakers I want.

How Do I Get Siri To Show Me The "Now Playing" Screen?
When I'm driving, it's great to be able to push the home button and get Siri to play a playlist or all songs from an artist.
But how do I get her to show me the Now Playing screen? When you say "show me the 'now playing' screen," (or just about anything similar), she searches the Web. That's not what I want. What is the command to get Siri to switch to the iPod "Now Playing" so I don't have to manually tap through to that screen (and take eyes off the road)? This should be simple, but I can't seem to figure it out.
Thanks!You can let Apple know you want this feature.

How can I get my "Now Playing" screen back? I can't scroll or change screens at all. All I have is the album picture and the song list page. I can toggle between the two but nothing else. It did this all by itself. Now it's stuck.
what happens when you tap the screen?
Next try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.

Is there a way to create a playlist from the now playing screen on ios7? I want to be able to hear a song in my collection and immediately add it to an existing playlist or create a new playlist.
Thank you in advanceHi Cornellius,
From the now playing screen there's a Create button at the bottom that allows you to create a

The Now Playing screen provides playback controls and shows you what’s playing.

Cannot display the screen of my macbook on TV. OS is Lion 10.7.2. The Macbook is connected to the TV is over HDMI cable. TV shows only the backgroud picture of the Lion OS and reacts even to mission control. Do you have any suggestions for help ?
You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen. You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box. -

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
