Problem with video after installing ipod software update 1.2

I recently downloaded the ipod software update version 1.2 for my ipod. It seems to have changed the video screen output as some of my videos now do not play full screen and instead have black boarders down each side of the screen while playing.
At first I thought switching off the widescreen option in the video settings screen would fix the problem but doing this cuts off a large portion of the picture at the top and bottom of the screen. I can only assume this change in screen ratio came with the update and was wondering if anyone knows of a way to fix this problem or if it will be fixed in the next ipod software update with some kind of option to switch screen ratios in the video settings menu.
I would like to keep updating my ipod but have since reset it so icould get full screen video playback and have been avioding the updates incase it happens again.

hmmmm. were those videos that you converted yourself
with QT Pro, alg2? if so, it might be worth checking
on the possibility from this document:
QuickTime Pro: DV format movies may require
adjustment for iPod
(if the source files were DV PAL, that can produce
the "bars down the side" effect ... unlike NTSC where
you get the "bars along the top" effect shown in the
graphic in the document.)
I did convert them myself but but not with quicktime pro will this solution still apply if were to purchase QT Pro or should i contact the company i bought my programme from.

  • Can't burn blank CD after installing ipod software

    Can't burn blank CD after installing ipod software - I have the system prefs set to launch Toast 6 when inserting a blank disk, and the drive just churns and then ejects the CD. It mounts and runs burned music and data disks with no problem.
    My job requires me to burn data disks from pictures I take at work. Should I re-install Toast? The OS? I ran Disk Utility to check/fix permissions, and no change.

    The CD that came with the nano won't have anything on it that you won't get with a full iTunes install. In fact, it may have been an OLDER version of the iTunes software than what you had installed before.
    I'd reccomend downloading the latest version of iTunes from Apple and installing that to rule out software reversion issues.
    If the problem still exists, try booting into toast before inserting the blank disk and see if Toast can still burn to the CD. If it can, then odds are you have to re-instruct your computer to boot toast when a blank CD is inserted. If it can't see the blank CD, or the Finder spits it out again, then I think you'd have to re-install Toast.

  • HT201263 Problems with ipad after installing security update iOS 7.0.6

    Cannot get my iPad 2 out of recovery mode after installing the security update iOS 7.0.6
    have tried plugging in to iTunes- on computer but doesn't get iPad out of recovery mode!  Help?!?

    Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
    If this does not work, try to connect in recovery mode, explained here:

  • Computer crashed after installing ipod software

    Please, help. My Dell computer wouldn't restart after installing the software for a brand new ipod nano. I'm afraid that it's related to the software CD and I don't know how to get another one under warranty. I just want them to send me a new software CD. Any suggestions?

    Not sure if this will actually solve you problem, but...
    there's no need to order a new software CD.
    You can download all of the necessary iPod software from Apple's website. In fact, this is often preferred over using the CD, since the website will have the latest versions, while the shipping CD might be slightly out of date.
    Here's some links to download the software:
    iTunes 6
    iPod Updater
    EDIT: Just realized I might be giving some pretty bad advice since your computer won't boot. Obviously my suggestion will only work if you have a bootable machine with Internet access.
    My apologies.
    Perhaps if there is an Apple store nearby, you can ask the folks there to put the software on CD for you. Even still, this might be a moot point since you don't have a working computer. You might want to reach out to Dell and get your system in a functional state before proceeding with the iTunes/iPod setup.

  • Problems with MBP after installing smcfancontrol

    I decided to install smcfancontrol because the computer was getting a bit hot after installing extra ram. Right after installing the software I encountered problems. It was not responsive and when it does, the fans would stay at its minimum rpm even after heavy load. I uninstall the software and the problem is still there. Fan's rpm will not increase as temperature rises.
    I experimented by booting into windows and ran a game and I noticed that the fans were going faster. But when I reboot back into os X it doesn't reboot at all, I get the boot sound but it doesn't load and the screen is dark. I would have to press the power button to shut it off and turn it on again. I then decided to reinstall os X and to my dismay, the problem is still there!
    Any Suggestions?

    booted with install cd, ran the hardware diagnostic program and everything came out good. The fans rpm was higher as I was running the diagnostic program. I assume that firmware is not corrupted and it has more to do with the OS. Btw, is it normal for the computer to run at 60c and have the fan run at around 2000rpms? Is it possible to have some traces of the old OS left after a fresh install?
    Edit: I got the computer to run in heavy load and after the cpu temp got to 65c the fans started kicking in. Guess it's back to normal. I was used to seeing the fan start running faster at around 60c

  • Problems with Java 1.5+ after installing new "Software Updates".

    I downloaded the regular 'software updates', now my macbook pro won't open Vuze, instead coming up with the message " Cannot launch "Vuze Installer". No compatible version of Java 1.5  available." Then it won't let me "Open Java Preferences". What do I do???

    This is silly. Just because you don't know Vuze doesn't mean there's no problem with this update. My friends are having the same issue, of course we are looking at possible problem from Vuze's part but we cannot really say this update has 100% nothing to do with Vuze's launch failure, can we?
    P.S. Since Vuze is not banned by law, it's still legal to use it. It's up to people if they want to use it for good or bad.

  • Two Problems: iTunes 7 Installation and Ipod Software Update 1.2

    1. The first problem is the installation process. After executing the installation file, the process simply freezes at "Registering Modules". Here's a screenshot(courtesy of allanpat): http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v282/allanpat/itunes_freeze.gif
    After numerous uninstallations and reinstallations...same problem occurs. However, i decided to press "Ctrlaltdelete" one time when the freeze occured and I ended the installation process at the freeze. Strangely, I found that most of itunes installed. So I tried opening itunes. A startup error pops up: http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n82/p0llux/error2.gif
    After pressing "OK", itunes then starts up normally and runs normally. o.O Then i plugged in my 30gb video ipod, which brings us to my second problem.
    2. I'm told to download and install the Ipod software 1.2, which i did. When it attempted to install this error pops up: http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n82/p0llux/error.gif
    Although iTunes runs fine...i want to be rid of Startup error and get the ipod update to work. i've never had this many problems with iTunes before. what's going on?
    Solutions, anyone?

    Same problem here. It may have to do with conflicting software that we have running at start up. Now I'm not sure whether it is, but I'm willing to try anything to update my iPod with the new songs I downloaded.

  • Problem with videos after upgrading to iTunes 9.0?

    Something went wrong with my videos after I upgraded to iTunes 9.0! The videos are twice as long as they were originally. Let's say this video was actually 1 minute long. It is now 2 minutes long. For the first minute it plays normally, then for the second minute, it just repeats itself, but with no sound.
    Is anyone having this problem? I uninstalled and reinstalled Quicktime, but that didn't help at all. Help!

    @atpcliff,
    You mean, the vids you purchased from the official iTunes store does not play on iTunes itself....?? :O :O That shocks me to the core. May be the DRM-protection present in the files you purchased previously does not support the newest version of iTunes. Try calling the Apple support for help and explain them your situation. Otherwise, you might have to roll back to the previous working version of iTunes for those videos to play, since they wont play on other video players anyways.
    @threadstarter,
    Hmm...Is your issue fixed by now ? Any work-arounds ? I suggest you try this : Uninstall all Apple products installed in your computer, like iTunes, Quicktime, Apple Mobile Support, Apple Software Update, Safari Web Browser etc. If you have trouble in uninstalling them, try uninstalling them in safe-mode. IMPORTANT : Take a back-up of all the files you purchased from iTunes Store. Now use CC Cleaner and remove all registry logs related to Apple products. Restart your comgputer in between each of these steps. Now install the latest versions of all the products afresh. I think this should work. Do revert.

  • Isight Stopped Working After Installing Quicktime Software Update

    This afternoon when I logged into my Macbook, it automatically detected new software update for Quicktime. As always, I let the computer download and install the software. However, this time it created a lot of problems for me. First, I couldn't connect to my network (I use Airport Express) although the signal was strong. After reset modem, router and Airport, finally I could get on network. However, then I found out my Isight stopped working. The light on the right side of the built-in camera was always on (green). My Photo Booth screen appears green all the time. I no longer can use Skype video chat. Does anyone encounter the same problem? Can anyone help me out? I use Macbook, the operating system is OX 10.4.3. Thanks.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, Freepisces
    I have all the latest updates on my Macs, and I have no problem at all.
    If you applied the latest (7.4.1) QT update, your problem may be due to the fact that the System Requirements for QuickTime 7.4.1 for Tiger include Mac OS X 10.4.9 or later, and you show that you are using Mac OS X (10.4.3). You can check which QT version you have installed using the QuickTime Player > About QuickTime Player menu command.
    If your QT version is an older one that is compatible with your Mac OS, and if you have not done so since you applied the QT update, repairing permissions may help you.
    If the problem is somehow related to your iSight rather than to your QT software, Apple's How to Troubleshoot iSight may help you identify and fix your problem.
    Unless you have a compelling reason for not doing so, you should consider updating to the latest version of Tiger (10.4.11). To find out what improvements you are missing by staying with 10.4.3, see some of the "About the Mac OS X 10.4.xx Update" documents for updates later than 10.4.3. A couple of examples are:
    • About the Mac OS X 10.4.6 Update (combo) and
    • About the Mac OS X 10.4.11 Update
    If you are interested, other "About..." documents are linked in this search list.
    Because System Requirements for the latest combo applicable to your MacBook, Mac OS X 10.4.11 Combo Update (Intel), are for Mac OS X 10.4.4 or later, you will need at least two steps to upgrade from your Mac OS X (10.4.3), so pay careful attention to the System Requirements of any updates you plan to apply.

  • Problem with video playback on Ipod

    I am having a problem I hope someone can help me with. I was given a 30GB Ipod for my birthday. I am running Windows Vista on a 3GHZ machine with 3GB of ram. I downloaded and installed the latest Itunes and Quicktime. I have no problem syncing all my music files, those synced and play properly. When I had Itunes convert some videos I had and sync them, the Ipod does not playback the video correctly. I get about 1 frame every 5-10 seconds. The audio on the video is fine and sounds normal, just the video is freezing. I loaded itunes on my XP notebook and converted and synced the exact same video and it plays great on the ipod. It appears that itunes is corrupting the video during the conversion on my Vista machine. Has anyone else ran into this and if so what is the fix?? I called support and the gentleman told me he had heard of the problem before but said their database was down and he could not access the article. He was supposed to email me the article but I never received it. Thanks for your help in advance.
    Gary

    Just an update, I think I may have found the problem, but not a permanent fix. I failed to mention I am running a raid striped array. I tried inserting a 2gb usb drive with my video file into the computer. I then went into itunes and changed the itunes directory to the USB drive. I then proceeded to have Itunes convert the file for ipod, synced the file and then it played properly on the ipod. I do not have a external drive large enough to hold all my videos. It is either a problem with the raid array or the fact the files are on the boot drive. Anyone have a fix so I can you my computers hard drives??????????
    Gary
    P.S. Support still has not emailed me the article they were suppose to send. I have 7 days to return the ipod and if I do not get a answer back by then I guess I will return it for something else.

  • Monitor issues after installing ipod software

  • Problem with most recent apple combo software update

    So about a month ago I posted here about a problem I'd been having for a while that others seemed to have as well, with safari crashing and for me dashboard as well. Looking at my crash report, I was advised that most likely this was a javascript error and I did an archive install of Leopard and this did fix the problem.
    However, of course the Leopard from my install disk was a little old, so today when I did all the updates again, lo and behold, my problem is back. Looking at the date that the last combo update pack came out (mid June) I'm pretty sure this is when my problem started, and now its back again because I know that's one of the updates that I just did on my computer.
    So my question is, has anyone else experienced problems with this recent update, and secondly, what can I do? Should I re- archive/install and not do the update, and then just wait until the next combo update? I did the updates in order to get my itunes back in order, but I don't know if it would be detrimental to my other programs to not do this last combo update... And is there anyway I can go into my system and fix this while keeping up the update? Its just strange to me that no one else I know is having this problem, even though they keep up-to-date on all the software updates.
    Any help appreciated!

    I get the error when I try…downloading it from the Support pages
    That's very strange. Can you download anything from http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ ?
    Launch Keychain Access, select Keychain First Aid from its left-hand menu, enter your password, select verify, and click on start. If that shows any problems, then select repair. If not, select X509Anchors, click on the top item, and then click the down arrow key until you find a bad/invalid certificate.

  • Music sync problems with ipad after 8.1.3 update

    So toady after many weeks of meaning to update my music on iPad, I got round to doing it. I could cry at this moment I had the same problems with my iPod a few weeks back, where I could get so far with putting music on and then iTunes would just wipe what I had just put on. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I ended up just giving up with my iPod. I lost over 200 songs, that iTunes decided to wipe off my device, and now I have just lost over 100 on my iPad. Help would be appreciated

    Thanks Apple, for breaking my ipad, I suppose I will just have to wait for a 8.1.3 Jailbreak update, have never done it before, but it looks like that's the only possible way to get my ipad working again.
