When I go to play a video the display screen shows it like an album cover

and title...
For example...for a music video, the video doesn't play and it doesn't even go to full screen. One of the video's frames occupies the side box where an album cover would normally go and beside it reads the name of the song, the artist, and the album.
What's going on and how can I fix this??
ipod video 30gb   Windows XP  

Yes, I had this problem before. I'm not sure how it happened but I can tell you how to fix it. Just go to the iPod main menu, then click on videos. Go to "video settings" which is at the bottom of the menu. Once you're there you'll see the "TV out" which is "on". Just click on it. it will say "off". try playing a video now, and if it doesn't work, I'm really not sure.

  • The Display Screen shows many pink vertical lines

    I purchased a Lenovo G580, and now after 1 year my screen is having some problem. The problems are:
    1. The screen has many vericals lines of pink colour
    2. The colour has been totally messed. I mean the screen has been discoloured like very bad.
    I am having this problem since past month. Went to the Support Centre even, I want to know what has happened.

    I wanted to check in to see if anyone is still experiencing pink lines appearing on the screen on G580 notebooks?
    If you are, could you please post a picture of the issue?

  • (OSStatus error -54.)  when I try to play a video in iphoto

    I get this error message when I try to play my video " the operation could't be completed, (OSStatus error-54). I am sorting out my albums and was putting all my videos on on cd, There are about 10 that won't play or get transferred to the cd, Our they just blanks or are there anything on them? These are all done on a 2012 MacBook Pro 15",and updated to the latest OS X  10.10 , Same with iPhoto. Ia it because the speed of the ones left behind is to high. and I need a DVD instead of a CD?. I about to just skip these blank ones and try with a DVD. Thank You.

    If you have Perian and 3ivx, these could be the ones guilty of the error. I had the same problem so I installed 3ivx and Perian. I'll install Perian again to test if it works, but I won't place 3ivx on my Mac again. This link helped http://forums.cocoaforge.com/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=23502

  • How can I get more of my persona to show at the top of the display screen?

    Before downloading the newest Firefox, my persona at the top of the display screen showed at least 1/2 of the firefox. Now it's only the ears. How do I show more of it? Stupid question, I know, but it's bugging me.

    You can add extra empty toolbars if you want to see more of the persona.
    You can create extra toolbars to get extra space via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
    You have to put something on a toolbar (drag a Space item onto it) before closing the Customize window because empty toolbars are automatically removed.

    When using my MAC desktop, when I try to play a video on the Apple Homepage I just get a spinning wheel and it says "missing plug-in".  What's the issue?

    Yep. I installed Lion this morning. Open Mail. All is good. Went to video on the Apple's homepage and my whole computer froze up. I couldn't even shut down the computer properly. I just had to shut it off and restart. :|
    Although, no "missing plug in" prompts were coming up for me. Just a frozen (brand new) iMac.

    You can find the serial number either in About this Mc in the Menu bar under the , or it should be on a sticker under the foot of the machine.
    If you have the install discs, try booting from them, holding down the c key and then using Disk Utility to check the drive. 
    You can also boot into Safe mode
    To start up into Safe Mode (to "Safe Boot"), do this:
       1. Be sure the computer is shut down.
       2. Press the power button.
       3. Immediately after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key.
          Tip: The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone but not before.
       4. Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple and progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    During the startup in Mac OS X 10.2 through 10.3.9, you will see "Safe Boot" on the Mac OS X startup screen.
    During the startup in Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you will see "Safe Boot" on the login window, which appears even if you normally log in automatically.
    Please post back with results,
    To leave Safe Mode in any version of Mac OS X, restart the computer normally, without holding any keys during startup.

  • I have downloaded I Tunes 10.7 and now the program shuts down when I try to play music videos?

    I have downloaded I Tunes 10.7 to my computer and now the program closes when I try to play music videos. Is there a fix out there I can try?

    from what I read on the discussion boards there seems to be little or nothing to do that may not mess up the computer (Like jerky videos if Quicktime fix is tried) except wait for Apple to do a proper fix with updates at this point. I am not willing to try the fixes explained so far. The reviews of them are spotty on them working if at all. My I Tunes works on everything but the videos and that is better than nothing which did happen at first. So I will keep watching for any other fixes that might be promising or an Apple Update.

    I experinced this when I tried to watch a YouTube video. What I did was restart the iPad and it should work. If it does not work, try doing hard reset, by holding the home and wake/sleep button, ignore the red slider, until the apple logo appears.

    Hello alymarvellous,
    Take a look at the article linked below, it provides information about the plug-in alert that you’re seeing when browsing specific websites on your iMac.
    Safari 8 (Yosemite): Safari troubleshooting
    Problems with plug-ins
    If a webpage has trouble showing plug-in content such as video, you may see a placeholder with a button that describes a plug-in problem. For example, the plug-in might be old, missing, or blocked.
    Try clicking the placeholder button to resolve the problem.
    For more information, see If a plug-in is missing and If a website has plug-in content.
    Cheers,

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

    When I want to play a video, it asks me to download the latest Adobe Flash player, and the iPad won't do that.

    The iPad doesn't and never will support the Flash program. You will need to download and install a different browser like the aforementioned Skyfire. Photon and Puffin are also mentioned as browsers that support Flash. Or see if the place you're accessing that video from has an app.
