"Widescreen Preview" Mysteriously Appeared On 2 Of The 9 Videos.
I have just made 9 short slideshow videos in Final Cut Express, exported them to QuickTime Movie (NOT self-contained) and dragged them into a 4:3 PAL iDVD project.
When burned to DVD and played on my 16:9 HDTV, 2 of the videos were stretched even though the TV was set to 4:3.
On playing the project in iDVD, both the dodgy videos are stretched and have the statement "Widescreen Preview" in green.
All the videos were dealt with identically.
Can anyone suggest how this has happened?
Normally I preview in iDVD before burning but the process is so routine that I didn't on this occasion!
I too have just begun having this prob but from Final Cut Pro. Had 9 4:3 clips dragged to iDVD...1st 8 played well in testing but 9th showed "widescreen preview". All 9 were produced in the same doc with 9 diff 4:3 sequences. I had to go back and rebuild the entire sequence a clip at a time until i found if a clip was corrupt. It ended up the music track (wedding video) was the last element i added and that made it "widescreen preview". To bring the audio into FCP originally, I dragged from the CD to copy it to the hard drive...then imported into music folder in FCP. So, I dumped that music file and imported the file from the CD into iTunes. I duplicated that mp3 file and then imported it into the FCP music folder and it worked!
Thought I had solved the prob only to find in checking an older iDVD project another "widescreen preview"!!!
I went ahead and burnt the DVD when it showed "widescreen" and sure enough, it cropped the edges of the video on a 4:3 screen. Even when I played it on a 16:9 screen it spread out to conform to screen but still had edges cropped.
ANYONE HELP!!

Like i said, the iPod is brand new. It works great in all aspects. But I frequently watch movies online with my iPod. Since i have upgraded to the fifth generation, this is almost impossible. The video begins to play and then freezes as if it is buffering. But the video never plays again. It is impossible for me to use my movie site to watch movies anymore and i am very disappointed.
Sounfs like a network problem.

I loaded 25 - MP4's from iTunes onto my ipad, they appear and play when accessed through my VIDEOS icon but when I open imovie or splice they do not appear as an option to import?????? These are files I converted from mts files - note they do play on ipad, please help????
Johnathan, -- I wrote this below in bold then the discussions site went down for maintenance and then Menneisyys and Kiwiphone4 replied and I think they are confirming what I'm saying here (only a bit more technically correct).
Thanks for your comment – but my issue is not with pirated or other movie video from the www, rather (as Menneisyys points-out) with videos I take with my Nikon Coolshot camera. What has perplexed me is this:
I synced about 100 events (containing both photos as well as .avi "video" files) from my MacBook Pro-13" (10.6.8) to my new iPad 3. NONE of the avi files transferred---
BUT:
…then I transferred an avi file from an SD card using the Camera Connection Kit - and the video played just fine!
Why on the same iPad with the same .avi video does it transfer via the CCK and play on the iPad, but not via an iTunes transfer.
PERHAPS THIS?!: The .avi movie NEVER MAKES IT into iTunes because iTunes cannot play an avi movie; therefore if it is not there, it can't be transferred. That must be it or something like that. (The avi movie I transfer from my Nikon is in iPhoto - and it plays in iPhoto - but since photo and video transfers to the iPad go via iTunes, and iTunes apparently can't bring-in avi, then it cannot act as the "bridge" in the way the CCK does.
Is that it?
Thanks everyone for any comments.
Best regards,
Steve Schulte

I'm getting the following message on screen when attempting to capture video "audio only capture selected, video preview disabled." How can I get the view preview back?
FCE doesn't allow for audio only capture, it's in a twist somewhere.
Try trashing the FCE preferences.

How to bring up movies on the Video icon
I have purchased movies from iTunes and they would appear on my Video icon (for example, when on airplane). Now the only thing that appears When I tap the Video icon is a blank screen. How can access my purchased movies when I don't have Internet access?
If you've synced or downloaded the films onto the iPad then they should show in the Videos app. Try searching for the name of one of the videos on the iPad's spotlight search screen - swipe your first homescreen to the right, type in it's name, and if it finds it tap on it to see if it plays. Then check the Videos app again and see if they all show
If that doesn't work then try closing the Videos app completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with the Videos app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Videos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option if the two above don't work is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. -
Why do I get long pauses in my videos with a symbol that appears to be reloading the video continuously? That doesn't make a lot of sense, but if You've had it happen to you, you'll know what I'm talking about.

After upgrading to Lion, Preview (5.2.2) appears to have lost the facility to run a slide show by using my mouse to click an icon in the visible menu bar, as I could in the previous version. Can I retrieve that icon and thus that facility?
Unfortunately not. Lion has made many adjustments to the previous system. Try opening your pdfs in keynote.

When I try to use iDVD to create a disk of my 4:3 aspect Quicktime movie (made on Final Cut Pro), the iDVD seems to change its aspect to 16:9, because in the corner of the theme screen, I see "Widescreen preview". Does this mean that if I complete and save my project and burn it to disk that the aspect will also be 16:9? I do not want the circles to look like ovals!
BTW
Did You turn on TV-Safe area. Pict in Swedish but I guess that You figure it out.
to be like this
I do - and keep this ON till Save as a DiskImage is done. (I always do one first to see that all is right - before burning the DVD - it saves so many)

My playlist appears in itunes, but the music files have mysteriously disappeared from my iTunes Media file. Is there a way to recover them? Tried searching and cannot find them.

Older Zens don't support AAC, which is the format iTunes uses for songs.
You can convert from AAC to MP3, which every media player under the sun will play. Here's a tutorial: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-12519_7-10096807-49.html -
Can anyone please tell me how to stop email previews from appearing on my screen. I have turned off the preview option in settings on both my ipad and iphone, but they still keep appearing. Thanks
works ok on mine - (5, 7.1.1). Try again. with previews set to none, mine shows the sender and the subject line only. (you cannot get rid of the subject) with the other settings, you get the sender, subject line and however many lines you selected.

Aperture 3.3 - The Previews mechanism appears to be entirely broken.
TL;DR: In Aperture 3.3 are your Previews in Aperture there when they shouldn't be, and not there when they should?
Try confirming this:
I created a new Library with a couple of small albums for testing. The Previews folder in .aplibrary is empty even when New Projects Automatically Generate Previews is on, Maintain Previews for Project is selected, and when I go to the photos and select "Update Preview" I get a message saying the Preview is already up to date. When holding down the option key and doing a Generate Preview, I still get nothing in the Previews folder, regardless of how many photos I do this with or what resolution/quality I have my previews set to.
On the other hand, if I turn off New Projects Automatically Generate Previews, deselect Maintain Previews for Project, and select photos and then "Delete Previews", I'm still able to drag photos outside of Aperture (and get the plus sign as well as count of photos), and they copy to the Finder as well as other apps in full resolution. Additionally when I go to iTunes, it will sync all of the items in the Project even though I've done all of this to kill off Previews (and there are no previews in the aplibrary/Previews folder).
I should note that I'm not doing anything weird here. For example, I only *looked* in .aplibrary when things weren't working and would never move or mess with anything in there directly.
This is a double problem and pretty serious:
1) Previews functionality is gone
2) Syncing with iOS devices can't be done using just the Previews, meaning it will sync everything, when combined with the Stacks Pick bug, this is a nightmare.Hi,
I think your issue is related to the buggy behaviour I described in this thread:
Aperture 3.3 Bug? Dragging to external editor can modify the original
My suspicion: Aperture 3.3 simply, clandestinely does not create previews, if the original image size is smaller than the pixel size for the previews.
What are the sizes of the images in your project compared to the preview settings?
If images do not have previews, because Aperture did not create them, then I found that Aperture passes the mster instead (or a copy of the master, if you drag to the desktop).
Regards

When I open iTunes, it will not allow me to preview or download TV shows. The preview and download options are gray and will not let me view them. I have tried installing the latest Quicktime but it tells me that I have to do software update and when I do, Quicktime does not appear to need an update. I have no idea what to do
Click on your preference and check the Parental tab for possible restrictions. Open iTunes, then click the iTunes menu, select preferences after the window opens click on the Parental icon, take a look at the content restrictions section.

After the IOS7 updates, when we are viewing music videos on my phones I can no longer turn the phone horizontal to see a bigger viewing of the video. I can only see it widescreen in vertical mode which is much smaller. Now when you turn it sideways, it pops up album cover art and I hate that. Is there a way to fix that?
We are just users like you and don't know why Apple does what it does. This is not a place to "vent," it is a place to ask technical questions. As of now there is no way to change or modify the way these folders appear in Windows Explorer. You can provide feedback to Apple about this issue at this link: http://www.apple.com/feedback
