Video orientation - why can't I watch a movie in 'portrait'

it just boggles my mind why I can't seem to figure out a way for this insanely COOL and expensive device called the iTouch can do everything but let me watch a video in portrait mode.
Since every docking station known to man only seems to allow you to view the i-device in portrait mode, this sure seems like one **** of a thorn in my side.
Is there a way to do this? I've checked through all the settings, but everything I upload including podcasts, only play in landscape.
WHY? it can veiw everything else in both modes.

No. Movies/tv shows/Youtube (edited) are displayed only in landscape.

  • Why can't I watch videos that my daughter sends to me from her iPad   I am very new on my ipad2

    Why can't I watch videos that my daughter sends me from her iPad?  I am very new on my ipad2.  I have no idea what my operating system is.

         Under the iPad specifications they support the following video types:
    iPad: Technical Specifications
    AirPlay Mirroring to Apple TV support at 720p
    Video mirroring and video out support: Up to 1080p with Apple Digital AV Adapter or Apple VGA Adapter (adapters sold separately)
    Video out support at 576p and 480p with Apple Component AV Cable; 576i and 480i with Apple Composite AV Cable (cables sold separately)
    Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
         The iPad and iPad 2 support the same video types. You cannot open a .mov file via e-mail to the best of my knowledge (on iPad). Only YouTube videos and app specific videos* can be opened via e-mail on the iPad.
    * Such as PBS News Hour, TED, etc.
         If both of you use a social network such as Facebook she could upload the videos and can post them on your wall.

  • Why can't I watch QVC product videos on my Macbook pro

    HELP  why can't I watch QVC product videos on my Macbook pro ?  I have the latest version of  flash player to no avail ?

    Not aware of a 12-inch Intel MBP. Anyway, could you possibly have an old version of flash player on your computer too. Look in the In the Internet Plug-ins folder to be sure you have only one flash player plugin. Path is HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin
    Also try searching your hard disk for flash.
    Some other things to try are in this thread.

    You are using the app from the store, correct?  Read the description in the store, the app only works with certain providers, which are listed in the description.    As always, it's all about money and license agreements.

  • HT204370 I rented a movie on my iPad from iTunes why can't I watch it on my Apple TV?

    I rented a movie on my iPad from iTunes why can't I watch it on my Apple TV?

    At the moment it's not possible to copy films rented on an iPad to another device - from here :
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
    Why Apple have decided to do that I don't know, but you can try leaving feedback via this page : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
