Video on TV out has gray bars

I've been adding some videos to the iPhone and they look and play just fine on the phone and on the computer. However, when I hook it up to my plasma, I will get some translucent gray bar on the bottom of the video. The rest of the area above the bar plays just fine and looks great. The wierd thing is, it only pops up on some videos; not all. Most of the videos play just fine with the exception of these few. Is it a problem with the aspect ratio of the video? What is causing this problem? I'd like to play all of my videos without problems on my plasma or anyone's TV for that matter.

lordodin99,
You may want to try with some videos from the iTunes Store to see if the issue still occurs. You can find some free videos to download here:

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?

Wifi of my iphone 4s has grayed out within 3 months of my purchase..I have now got a replacement from Apple

Wifi of my iphone 4s has grayed out within 3 months of my purchase..I have now got a replacement from Apple but unfortunately it worked for only 1 day and the wifi got grayed out again...I tried resetting all my settings but all in vain. How many times have i to replace my iphone..Has Apple not thought of solving the wifi issues from the core. I have heard many users are having this problem. Why hasn't Apple taken any step to improve and solve this issue. After buying such a high end product, this is what u get??? Most of the Apple users are now shifting to Samsung phones..I was a great fan of Apple and have been using all apple products but this has really disheartened me..Apple please wake up!!!
iPhone 4S, iOS 6.1.4

When I rotate my video clip so that is isn't viewed sideways, it has black bars on both sides and some of picture is missing. Can I rotate the image so it plays rightside up without the black bars? The image was taken by an iPhone. I am viewing it on PC

Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

Creative Cloud icon grayed out in menu bar.

Creative Cloud icon grayed out in menu bar.
Pulldown shows no apps or updates at all.
Have restarted a few times.
I did recently restore my system from a Time Machine backup.
Any help?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Abstract Truth,
I would recommend trying to uninstall and reinstall the Creative Cloud app, I suspect the Time Machine backup may have somehow affected the installation.
Quit the Creative Cloud app, run the uninstaller in the Creative Cloud folder in Applications, and then reinstall it from Download Center at https://creative.adobe.com/products
Hope that helps,

Did the lastest Apple update and now my Mac has gray screen with spinning gear and a status bar goes to half then turns computer off....help?

Thanks for your help.

I got the disc..

My BB Curve 8520 will power down when it has 3 out of 5 "bars" of battery power left.

My BB Curve 8520 will power down when it has 3 out of 5 "bars" of battery power left. I have replaced the battery twice. It is out of warranty. The software update did not help the problem. Do I just need a new phone?

Hello debra85,
I can imagine the frustration the battery life is causing! To confirm are you using the Blackberry Curve 8530? Have you attempted restoring the operating system through the Blackberry Desktop Manager? This will help clear corruptions that may be present on the phone. We can also discuss what options you have to get a new phone, if needed. I look forward to hearing from you and finding a solution to your concerns.
Thank You,

Gray bar under Apple logo during startup with 10.7.2

Hi everyone,
first-time iMac owner since May 2011, I'm experiencing exactky the same problem described in the article Mac OS X v10.6: Gray progress bar appears under Apple logo during startup, but with two important differences:
it never happened with the original the 10.6 factory-installed, and started to appear after upgrading to 10.7 at the beginning of August
my iMac, included in the HD replacement program announed by Apple in July 2011, had the HD replaced with a new one in October 2011
In addition to the behavious described in the KB article, it's worth noting that, when one finally manages to log in (and the gray bar may take one good minute to disappear, which happens after filling up to approx. 60-70% of its length), the iMac is barely unusable, as the graphic interface is suddenly **** slow and there's a lot of flickering.
Since seeing is believing, please have allok at the YouTube video I made on this "false start", as I named it: see iMac_falsa_partenza / iMac_false_start.
I had already reported the problem to the local assistance, and they had told me it was an evidence of the HD problem indicated by Apple. Then they replaced the HD (...did they, actually? Probably yes, as the HD now installed is far noisier than the old one), but the very same day I brought it back from the assistance, at the second start... bam, here's the nasty gray bar again.
I didn't further report the problem to the assistance because my faith in their capability has cracked and because the simple replacement of the HD took them three full weeks. But this "false start" issue really, really bothers me a lot, as it happens every other day.
How can I have some good Apple expert technicians take this problem seriously and help me solving it?
As a first-time owner of a Mac, I have onestly to say I'm much, much disappointed by this story... Thanks anyone for any help.

How to get plain old S-video and Composite out from a MBP?

Hi,
this question is about someone's MacBook Pro he newly bought with adapters to get both DVI and Svideo/Composite Out.
He got Mini DisplayPort to DVI-D converter, and a DVI-I to video converter, that cannot be plugged into a DVI-D port. Apple removed the analog capability of its adapter, that's bad. But what's badder is there doesn't seem to have any Mini DisplayPort to Svideo/Composite adapter, as there was with previous generation machines.
How can someone easily output analog video from MBP?

In fact, I recognize that these standards are old, which doesn't mean they're not up-to-date. Similar example, VGA connector is old, but perfectly useful, even in 2009. I recently plugged a 22" LCD with VGA and DVI on the same computer (a bland desktop PC), and there was strictly no difference. Same color depth, same crisp display. Even looking at a corner with a magnifier, nothing was different.
So, changing standards just for the sake of it doesn't make any sense.
Agreed that, as a pro, Apple would like me to buy their pro line, but nowhere in the pro line does an easy solution exists for S-Video and composite out. The solution you posted exists, but is unwieldly and not neat at all, if it doesn't break the Mac's connector under its weight. If a manufacturer can do this kind of adapter, Apple can do it better, and make a bigger profit out of it.
For the adapter you posted, I don't ever buy anything that is not at least Mac+Windows compatible, or at a minimum is open-source, so anyone with programming skills can make something. The manufacturer also doesn't give a clue on how this works. I guess some sort of virtual driver sits in the system as a virtual IEEE1394 port so any program requiring FW can work transparently. Still, incompatible with the OS that most manufacturer ship their new PCs with, poor commercial decision, wether you like the OS or not.
Adding FW in the MB unibody design wouldn't have cost anout $30. Rather, we're talking about a 25 cents chip, a 25 cents connector, which they would have rounded up to $20 and still, that was present in previous-gen MB. After all, they are indeed selling a matte screen on the MBP 17" for $50 more, despite them removing a single piece of glass which may cost, well, let's be fair, $5 to manufacture? That's dishonest. And capitalistically justified.
So far, choosing a Mac for one's needs is no easy task: older white MacBooks have the same power as unibodies, excellent connectivity, top notch transfer speeds, BUT are heavier, as not as ecologically friendly nor do they have future-proof RAM standard. The unibodies are sleekier, easily recycled and will be able to be upgraded in the near future BUT is most likely unable to use current devices and have slower transfer speeds.
For Pro models, the newer ones have great efficiency, much power and flexibility with their dual GPU BUT lost the option of matte screen, although their other pro-oriented monitors still default to matte. Only the 17" has the option. If a pro already finds his 15,4" bulky and with ample reserve power, will he buy the bigger and heavier 17"? Probably not.
I understand that Apple way of doing business is keeping only what's essential with no unnecessary options (I'm looking at you, Asus, with you at least 10 different versions of you netbook). But this time, not everyone can find what he or she wants in Apple's line of laptops, as opposed to the iPod thing, where virtually any possible preference is covered.

I have a 2 inch gray bar across the top of my home page now after dragging a few windows around my desk top. I'm not sure if it's a mozilla thing or google thing but it just appeared and I would like to get rid of it. g

My home page is just www.google.com with a search box and a picture of some planets as a background from my computer. While I was dragging the restored down browser window, I slipped with my mouse and now I have a light gray two inch bar across the top of my background picture. It's below the; Search-Images-YouTube-News-Gmail-More icons. When I right click on it and select inspect Element (Q) it says div#gbx1.gbqfh in three different colors. I would like to get rid of it, but I don't know if it's a google or Mozilla issue. I know google has been changing things so it wouldn't surprise me if it was just a coincidence.

Is there any text in that gray bar?
I see some buttons on it, do they have a tooltip?

You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

Video card going out?

i get bars of pixels going across my screen most of the time. They are sometimes black and other times they are multi-colored. Also when i scroll down a page, some times it does this funky thing where it looks like....man i cant really describe it..... i cant get a screen capture of it because it goes away when i click outside of the window
Also, if they are in a window, they will move with that window.
Could this be happening because of the video card going out?
The lines look just like this: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3243/25990075431695b18555b.jpg

Hi
Actually I noticed it first on the upgrade screen from Tiger to Leopard, and it then became progressively worse, even before 10.5.2.
Since increasing fan speed seems to help I don't believe it's a software issue, although software can play a part in stressing (or de-stressing) the video card. If the fans work for you and your iMac is out of warranty you might just have to live with it. The cost of repair for a video card/logic board (from what I'm told) is not worth contemplating.
Also, as a photographer I'm not planning to upgrade to the new iMac because of the gloss screen. With any luck the next generation of iMac will have a choice between gloss and matte.
Cheers,
GLi
