Playing slideshow on tv from ipad cutting off picture

I am connecting my ipad 2 to my TV with a RocketFish Composite adapter and trying to play a video slideshow on my TV.  I am able to play the video/slideshow just fine, however both the top and bottom of the videos (and pictures) are being cut off by several inches.  When played directly on my iPad the size is fine ( no cut offs).  The videos were converted to Ipad compatable (.m4v) using Aimersoft Video Converter and the iPad presets.  The resolutions of the videos are 720 x 480.  The TV I am connecting to is 1080P LED TV.  I have tried different aspect ratios in the TV's settings but there are not much to choose from and each setting changes the size of the video a little, but the amount being cut off from the top and bottom is consistent.  What can i do to correct this problem.  Also, I need this slideshow for a trade show I am in tomorrow afternoon, so a quick response would help a lot. 
Another thing...  In my research so far, I found that iPad 2 can mirror its display (meaning what you see on the iPad you see on the TV) onto the TV.  But I cannot seem to get that to work either.  I can only play videos and slideshows from the apps that allow you to.  How do I go about mirroring my display to my TV?  Does it only work with a HDMI connection?

What adapter are you using?  I have the Digital AV Adapter that connects to the HDMI input of a small Vizio HDTV.  It seems to work OK, and has stereo sound.  My only problem has been the weight of the HDMI cable pulling the adapter out of the iPad.
Apple also sells VGA, Component and Composite adapters.  I also have the VGA adapter which works on the HDTV and one LCD monitor.  However it doesn't work on a couple of older monitors I tried.  Also VGA is video only.  You would need to run a separate cable for sound on the TV.

  • Hi..can anyone help? Songs on my itunes are not playing to the end? They cut off part way through a song. Its not on all the songs but lots of them? thanks

    Hi..can anyone help? Songs on my itunes are not playing to the end? They cut off part way through a song. Its not on all the songs but lots of them? thanks

    A couple of months ago, I went to the Apple Store to try and sort this problem out. I was told that I was not playing my songs out of an actual music library. I created a library and loaded all of my songs, movies, etc. onto it. I had found that when I synced my songs from the new library onto my itouch, the songs no longer stopped in odd spots or bled into each other. To ensure that most of my songs had been fixed, I played the ones that were the most problematic. Fortunately, the songs play all the way through without any interruption. So far, I have not encountered the same problems that I had posted in my question. I apologize for not knowing the fellow's name who helped me with my iTouch at the Apple Store, but I would like to say how thankful and happy I am now that my iTouch no longer skips to the next song.
    I know that other people have had this same issue with their iPods. If you encounter your music not playing correctly, I would suggest that making a new library and  loading all of your music into the new one may help correct the problem. I hope that this helps.

  • Apple tv  "unauthorized"  it was a rental from itunes and the previous movie played no problem.  From ipad on mirror.

    it was a rental from itunes and the previous movie played no problem.  From ipad on mirror.

    Was an internet connection available?
    I'm not sure I would ever play a rented movie by mirroring from an iPad as mirroring is lossy and reduces quality.
    It may actually not work via mirroring.

  • Why are my downloaded songs from ITunes cutting off before the song has played?

    I am new to ITunes.  I purchased 6 albums. Why are my downloaded songs starting in the middle and cutting off before they have played?

    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 the screen blacks out or 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.

  • Song purchased from iTunes cuts off

    Bought an entire album on iTunes for one song and when I go to play it in iTunes it will only play the first 1:45 (it's a 16 minute song!) It obviously didn't download correctly but I'm not sure what to do. It also cuts off on my iPod. The rest of the album seems to play fine but of course the song I want is "album only." Help!

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library and then download again using the Purchased link in the right-hand column of the iTunes Store home page.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history.

  • Fade in from black cuts off beginning frames

    Hi list...
    I have a timeline set as first play where the footage fades in from black. The first few frames are getting cut off, and I suspect it's because Encore sets the first chapter marker automatically to what it thinks is the first fully bright frame. Is this what's happening, and if so, how can I prevent that, and therefore make the disk play from the black beginning?
    thanks,
    - Michael M.

    Encore always sets the first chapter in a timeline at time zero...only the poster frame for the first chapter can ever not be at time zero.
    Why you are seeing what you are seeing, I'm not sure. Have you checked it on multiple DVD players? How does it look in a software DVD player?

  • Why are prints from Preview cut off at bottom of page

    When I print a PDF from Preview the print has about 3/4" cut off the bottom of a portrait document or from the right of a landscape document.. When I print the same document from Acrobat Reader, it prints correctly. I use Page Setup before printing. The scaling in the other direction seems correct which makes the cut-off a mystery.
    I prefer Preview for PDFs as it is much faster than Acrobat Reader. The cut-off prints have caused me grief when I have not detected them. What is going on here?

    I have the same problem and can confirm it also happens in Leopard. There was traffic on a similar Leopard issue printing landscape to Windows shared printers that was fixed in 10.5.2, but it doesn't seemed to be solved for my situation (printing to CUPS shared printer). Note that it seems to be a bug in the way Preview creates a PDF for printing, since Adobe Reader works fine, and "lpr <filename>" from the command line will also work.
    If you have any more info since you posted, I would be interested.

  • Making a slideshow - top of photos being cut off

    I've been trying to make a slideshow with some of my photos being in Portait mode as against Panorama and when reviewing
    my slide show the top of the photo is being cut off. This appears to be for only those that are in Portrai mode.
    Does anyone know how I can overcome this annoying aspect?
    Alan

    Make sure the slideshow setting isn't set to scale photos to fill screen.
    That will create black areas on each side of the portrait photos but will not cut off the top and bottom.

  • Why does ipad cut off left side of page?

    What do you do to see left side of page which is cut off?

    If you have Zoom enabled, that could cut off the left side of the screen, but everything would appear very large on the screen as well.
    Settings>General>Accessibility>Zoom>On. You want to turn it off. Double tap three fingers and drag to change Zoom. You can see the instructions below.
    If that's not the problem - try rebooting the iPad.
    Reboot 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.

  • Songs purchased from iTunes cut off and do not show as purchased

    I've had iTunes roughly since 2006. All my purchases don't show up in the purchased playlist. Quite a few of the songs (like the entire Sleep Through the Static album) cut off about 2 1/2 minutes into the song. I saw some people had deleted their "corrupt" files and then redownload them from the store but since many of the songs don't even show up as purchased anymore in mine (maybe do to the newer computer) this is not an option
    Is there a way to fix this or am I out of luck?

    Hello Radgeta,

  • When i set iphoto to 'fit slideshow to music' the song cuts off before the end and starts again.  Anyone know why?

    I have tried changing the seconds each slide displays for and fiting the slides to the music and no matter what I do the song cuts off 30-40 seconds before it actually ends and starts again.  I haven't had this problem before.

    Hi kjackson73,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If the same songs seem to cut out on multiple devices, first try re-importing or converting them using iTunes. You can also download iTunes Store purchases again. See these articles for more information:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Songs or other audio content are skipped during playback
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3159
    If the original CD is available, remove the affected content from the iPhone or iPod touch and then import it again from the CD using iTunes.
    If the original CD is not available, convert the content to AAC using iTunes.
    Download past purchases

  • How can I prevent the text in non-resizable contexts from being cut off?

    I have not changed the Application, System, or Dialog fonts from their defaults.  
    This is the result:
    Related:  http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/text-in-non-resizable-windows-is-cut-off/td-p/92300

    Medium might be the default for high ppi monitors but it is very different from the original windows settings that were used when 96 ppi was standard. Of course for a high resolution FullHD resolution on a 15 inch screen you end up with a ppi of around 150ppi.
    This article explains somewhat the history of where 96ppi came from and that it was in fact already a convinient misrepresentation of the real values. The problem is partly that LabVIEW makes some assumptions about the size of text based on the actual ppi settings while the rendering of the text as done by Windows can be scaled by your control panel adjustment. However the solution is not as trivial as replacing all assumbtions about the size of text by the new values as that won't always give the correct values either and also has quite a lot of other issues such as controls suddenly looking very oversized when moving a front panel from a low ppi device to a high ppi device. Basically the way Windows deals with screen resolution and different ppi makes it simple for Windows to render text on a display without ugly aliasing effects but makes it impossible for an application to both be text and size accurate when rendering windows like a LabVIEW front panel.
     It's also a reason why so called retina displays still don't really work under Windows while IOS has them already for quite some time.
    Ravens Fan, Windows 7 has Normal (100%), Medium (125%) and Larger (150%). To maintain the relative text size on an old CRT for a FullHD 15 inch labtop display one would have to use the Larger setting, which is outright ugly. I personally use Smaller on all my Windows 7 labtops because of issues like the LabVIEW front panels rendering but also many other applications get into trouble otherwise. Yes it looks kind of small on my FullHD 15 inch LCD monitor, but at least it is all consistent.

  • Import from FCP Cutting Off Audio

    I've just had a few hours added to an interview I've been editing thanks to either a setting I don't know about or an import bug between FCP and Soundtrack. I'll try to explain.
    I have 4 video tracks and their accompanying audio tracks. After editing the footage (which include several "J" and "L" cuts, if that matters), I sent the file to Soundtrack as a multitrack project. Upon beginning to work on the audio, I quickly discovered that the import had cut off some of the clips. Not all, but some. The edit sounds fine in FCP, but then the clip is cutoff mid-word in Soundtrack. For example, in FCP a clip ended on the word "purpose". In Soundtrack, the same clip ended at "pur-".
    I could think of nothing else to do but take the affected clips one at a time, and by trial and error, extend the audio clips in FCP 5-10 frames past where they were supposed to go. A couple hours later....somehow--even though it sounded wrong now in FCP--it sounded correct in Soundtrack. Then I made my audio adjustments, added a background track, and took it back into FCP.
    This has really confounded me. Is there some kind of export bug? A setting? What?

    well you might be in the wild west just a little. I haven't tried editing anything from an iPhone. My guess is that the video isn't frame based, but that it's probably a long GOP codec. I do everything in one of the flavors of Prores. You might want to try that and see if it clears up the issue. Download a copy of Mpeg Stream clip and convert your files to ProRes and then bring them into Final Cut. Then you'll be using proper frame based footage.
    Note that you can get a cable for your iPhone that, when plugged into the audio socket, gives you both audio in and monitoring out. I have one, and I use it for a Sony wireless mic set. Then your audio is automatically wedded and you can skip the hassles of double system sound. You could even take the monitor out of the H4 and run it into the camera so you have an automatic backup. Oh, and check the frequency of the sound on the iPhone footage. It might not be 48k.
    Take a look at Pluraleyes, for syncing double system sound. It does a very nice job

  • RH 7 print from toolbar cutting off right margin in IE

    Topics printed with the Print button in the toolbar are cutting off the right margin in IE 7 & 8. It seems independent of the printer. This doesn't occur in Firefox.
    Anyone encounter this before? Any documented fixes, or is it a known issue?

    Hi there
    I'm hopeful Willam will have an easy CSS fix for folks that insist on printing that which is intended to be presented on the screen.
    Probably involves some @Print incantation or some such... Rick
