QuickTime on iPhone: What is that double arrow button?

What is that double arrow button on the top right of the QuickTime window that started appearing in iPhone 2.0 software? You click it and the arrows just change direction, but it doesn't look like anything else is happening.
If you don't know what I mean, see this image:

It has been there. Imagine having a movie in widescreen format. You can watch it with wide screen (and have black bars above and below) or have it zoom in to size of screen (chopping off left and right). Can also be done just by double tapping video during playback.
You may not notice if watching a video that fits both ways. Can see it work better with real movie content playing (depending on size encoded for).

  • What does that superposed arrow on the airport icon mean?

    On one computer I cannot connect to the airport base station as I can with all other Mac's using the same procedure on the same base station network. On the Mac I cannot connect from, a G5 is using OS 10.4.10, the airport strength symbol is not highlighted and there is a vertical highlighted arrow superposed on the airport symbol. What does that superposed arrow on the airport icon mean?

    SteveCC, Welcome to the discussion area!
    I believe that you are seeing the icon indicating you G5 is acting as a base station. On that G5 open System Preferences->Sharing->Internet and stop Internet sharing.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unfortunately once all the 3 iCloud accounts have been created on your device, you cannot create any more regardless of what you do. You will need to re-use one of the accounts that you have already created or create your new account on another iOS device or Mac computer.

  • Anyone else seeing a double arrow?

    Hi all-
    Frequently when I am using LR4, from the intial to the latest patch, I have a very persistent double arrow. The double arrow is the one that points left and right, and is intended to occur when you are hovering over the side of a window pane and you want to drag it left or right.
    My problem is that I get that arrow much more frequently then when I want to change the width of the window. I get it constantly when I go to do keywords. Sure I cross over the window boundry where it might naturally turn into that arrow, but I am exclusively working in the keyword panel. And that double arrow remains. I need to shake my mouse a bit to make it disappear.
    This is not a problem that occured in Lightroom 1, 2 or 3.
    Is this a know bug?
    Thanks,

    Hi everybody,
    Known problem. Please go to this feedback thread and click +1 .

  • Double arrow resize cursor of application frame extends over menu bar

    Using Photoshop cs5 in application frame mode, when the cursor reaches any edge of the application frame it automatically turns into a double-arrow which when clicked and dragged will resize the application frame. (that is normal behavior). However, when the application frame is at the top of the screen against the menu bar, and then the cursor passes over the top edge of the application frame and onto the menu bar, that double arrow resizing cursor doesn't change back to the normal arrow cursor. Just very annoying to always see that double arrow when I'm trying to click any menu item on the menu bar.
    I wonder if it's a photoshop issue or a mac issue, or if anyone else has noticed the same thing,
    Working on a MacBook Pro 17" i7, 8gb ram in Photoshop CS5
    Just tried doing the same thing in illustrator and it does not have that problem, everything works like it should - I move the cursor to the top and I don't even get that resize cursor at all (which is the way it should be since the top of the frame is against the menu bar there's no room to extend it upwards) so leads me to think it's a Photoshop issue.
    Any feedback is appreciated.

    I can confirm that this happens on my machine as well.
    Current work around is to click an empty spot on OS X menu bar to reset cursor to normal before selecting a menu item. I have seen this behaviour since initial release of PS CS5 (all updates installed and behaviour still exists).
    Illustrator CS5 does not display this behaviour on my machine either, so it would appear to be confined to Photoshop (I am assuming the mouse-over parameters for resize may be to blame, or lack of recognition of menu bar proximity).
    Machine specs:
    Mac Pro (early 2008) - 2.8 Ghz. Quad-Core
    OS X (10.6.4) - fully updated
    8 GB RAM (1 GB / slot)
    nVidia 8800 GT video adapter
    ACD 23" display
    Logitech LX8 mouse (no software installed for mouse, generic OS X driver)
    Note - Wacom Intous3 drivers installed (haven't tested behaviour with tablet pen yet, but tablet only plugged in and used for specific painting, not during displayed behaviour).
    Default install for PS CS5 and AI CS5.
    Issue displayed with or without any third-party plug-ins installed.
    A fix would be good.

  • How to add arrow buttons to flipages on an exported .swf ??

    I have seen .SWFs exported out of Indesign that have arrow buttons to the left and right (outside of the actual document) , to flip the page if the reader does not want to click the corner or peel the page back. If any one knows how this is done, please share. Thank you!

    Is it HTML used to do so?

    Its the screen orientation lock, and is covered in the User Guide.
    Double-tap the home button, swipe to the right on the dock area and tap the left-most icon.

    Double tap home button and then at the bottom of the screen it shows what's apps you have open. Hold finger on one of those apps till they wiggle and then tap on the X for just those apps at the very bottom of the screen. This closes them but does not delete them. See if that helps

  • Dragged the line tween message list and preview pane so far up that i can't get the double arrow to drag it back down; now the window is only 10% for mess. list

    I like to keep my window about 60% message pane - above the line - and 40% for the open message. To see an entire message, I resized the panes with the double arrow. No more double arrow and it's 80% open message and 20% list of messages.
    Also, since I have you, Can Lightning show an event on the monthly grid Without Adding the time in the box, or at least allow something like 7p or 2:30p, e.g. ? Thank you for what you do!
    Susan

    Try F8 to get control of the message pane.
    As far as the Lightning question, are you wanting to shorten the time so that more of the description is displayed?

    Ralph's post was for iOS 6 almost 2 years ago.
    Swipe up on the bottom on the screen to open Control Center.

  • In Numbers, I can see my documents but they have the top right corner turned over with a down arrow, what does that mean?

    In Numbers, I can see my documents but they have the top right corner turned over with a down arrow, what does that mean? I touch it and nothing happens.
    I have recently done a full restore because my iPad and iPhone were mis-behaving and wouldn't work they way I expected with Windows XP and Outlook 2003 and now when I check iCloud.com, all my documents are gone, yet my iPad hints that they may still be somewhere but where are they?

    That is the orientation lock symbol, you can not go to landscape orientation. Tap the home button twice, swipe the task bar to the right, tap on the 'circle' icon at the left to unlock the orientation. You will then be able to view items in portrait and landscape mode.

    You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.
