Attach/open file window too big for screen

Just recently I've found that when I go to attach a file in email for example, or open something in the finder the window that comes up from which I can choose my file is too big for the screen. So the bottom corner, which has the "attach" or "Cancel" buttons, is obscured. It's very frustrating... I can hit enter to attach a file but can't cancel it if I change my mind. Hope that makes sense... I've moved the dock out of the way but that doesn't help at all, and I can't use the green button to resize or anything.
Hope someone can help... I've also restarted the computer but the problem is still there. I'm using a macbook pro, and I have upgraded to the latest OSX software.
thanks

I'd click the title bar of the application, then click on the + to fit on screen.

HT2311 iTunes window too big for screen.

My iTunes window is too big for screen. I cannot access the shrink control on the lower fight corner of the screen.
Any other ways to shrink the screen to fit?

HDR window too big for screen

When I open the "Merge to HDR Pro" dialog box, it is too big for the screen and I cannot resize it. Pressing the green + button just resizes the too big screen above my dock, but it is still too big for the options that lie at the bottom of the dialog box. How do I fix this?

What is the screen resolution of your monitor?
One workaround I've seen is:
Hide your OS X dock
Quit Photoshop
Restore your prefs: http://adobe.ly/PS_Prefs
Restart Photoshop

Photoshop cs6 window too big for screen, lost the drag facility?

I have lost the corner of the photoshop window below the dock so don't have access to the drag facility in the window corner. I have tried resizing the screen but this hasn't helped, any ideas welcome!!

What OS are you running? I would think it would have some function to allow you move windows that are larger then your display so you can move the windows so part of the window frame is on screen so you can then re-size the window.
For example I just move my Chrome browser window sot the top of the window is behind the task bar. I now can not move it necause I can mot position the mouse int the window header bar. However I can position the mouse over the running Chrome icon in the task bar. Windows will show a preview of the running Chrome window or windows. If I right click on a preview window Window's will open a right click menu I can click on the move item and them move the off screen window on to the display using the arrow keys or the mouse.

Window too big for screen

I am fairly new to using PS with a Mac, so there may be a simple fix for this. I finally got the workspace window in CS5 to fit the entire screen on my IMac. Recently, the window has gotten so big, that it hides the tool bars on the sides and bottom of the screen. When I switch to 'full screen with tool bar', I can see everything, but there seems to be no way to permanently restore these settings. Can anyone help?

A document page opens that is too big for the display and runs off the end of the monitor

How do you fix a problem where document pages open that are too big for the display and runs off the end of the monitor? The borders are off the monitor so there is no window edge to grab and adjust.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

NB305 first time setup display too big for screen

I just bought an NB305-310 netbook (two, actually, and the first one had no trouble). It came loaded with Windows XP. When I turned it on I wasn't able to set it up right away, when I came back to it, I found the display of the welcome screens and the setup process assistant is too big for the screen, as if it thinks it has to fill a 15" or 17" screen instead of 10". So I can't see to click on the "I agree" box or the "Next" button etc., so can't proceed through the setup.
I already tried restarting it a couple times (by holding down the power key, since Control-Alt-Delete didn't do anything). I also tried using the function key with various keys that looked like they might affect display size but no change. Even the volume function keys didn't change the volume of the setup background music that plays.
How can I fix this?
Thank you!

Try this. Press Alt + Spacebar to open the control menu (which may be off the screen) at the top-left of a window.
Then press M (for Move).
That will enable you to move the window using the arrow keys.
When you get the chance, you'll want to go here and reset the screen resolution to 1024 x 600.

Click here and use one of the scripts to change the size of the window. This works with applications other than iTunes as well.

Score printout: files are too big for printout since Pro 7

Hi there,
I have a serious problem printing scores with Pro7: the files appear to be too big, so I can't print them. When I try to print a simple 1 page part, I get the error: "printer out of memory" and I have a HP Laserjet with 8 Mb memory. A PDF from a 3 page part made in Logic 6.3 is 102Kb, a PDF from the same 3 page part opened in Pro7 is 2,4Mb! Everything seems normal: page setup 100% etc.
When I open a song made in Pro7 with Logic 6.3, the files are much much smaller. Does anybody know what's wrong, now I can't print scores with Pro7!
Thanx, Peter

Hello Rohan,
Thanks for your effort. I created a PDF-file with a totally different printerdriver. The result is the same: I get a very large file. A 3 page part PDF-file is 2,4 Mb, also with the other fake driver. I'm used to send PDF-files of sheet music through the internet and files this big are no option.
And very annoying: I can't print out scores using Pro7!
Best regards,

Adobe Media Encoder P2 File Size Too Big for Fat32

Hi everyone,
I'm working on a project that has to be delivered on an actual P2 card.
I'm on a Mac running 10.9.1 using Media Encoder 7.2.2.29.
My final files are ProRes files and I dropped them into Media Encoder and selected the P2 AVC-Intra 100 1080 option. I set the destination to a local drive and everything seemed to encode properly. I have a CONTENTS folder and all the required subfolders and MXF files. The problem is, when I went to copy the folder to the actual P2 card, Finder told me that some of the files "can't be copied because [they are] too large for the volume's format." And, indeed, looking at several of the video files in the Finder, they seem to max out at 4.29GB (4,294,971,924 bytes), which is 4,629 bytes larger than the FAT-32 size limit.
I just now tried to encode directly to the P2 card and I got an error that was, ostensibly, a "Disk Full" error, but happened at right around where I would expect that 4GB limit to be.
Is this something others have encountered? Is there a setting I missed? According to the P2 workflow PDF here, the folder structure AME creates "can be exported directly to a connected P2 card, or it can be exported to a selected drive and the folders and files copied over to the card."
One possibility might be to split up the files into shorter videos, but I'm not sure how AME would handle ordering on the card.
Thanks
David

I wanted to mention, in case anybody else has this issue, installing and using Media Encoder CS6 produces P2 MXF files that are the proper size. I filed a bug report, hopefully Adobe can get the CC version fixed.

Display is too big for screen on start up

When I turn on my macbook, the disply is too big, and I can't see the right 3 inches of my screen. When I put it to sleep and bring it back up, it correctly fits on the disply. Any ideas why this does this, and how to correct it? It has been doing this several months now.
-Thanks!

Ha, figured it out myself from another discussion forum finally. Thoght I'd share in case anyone else runs into this. They must have hit "Zoom" by htting the "Control" and scroll buttons at the same time..
Resolution:
You can zoom out by holding down the Option and Command buttons on the keyboard and, while you hold them down, pressing the - key.

Safari's download-location selector too big for screen?

Any one else got this one?
When I try to select the "Other" download location in Safari preferences, the resulting pulldown dialog for selecting the location is so huge it spans off the right side and below the bottom of the screen, so I can't drag-resize it, or even click "choose" or "cancel".
Yes, I can just press Esc, or double click on the folder I want, but still this is a bizarre bug which should be easy to fix.
Safari 3.1.1

Does not happen for me in Safari 3.1.1. But, to correct your issue try this: open Safari Preferences > General tab and select download location: Other. With the (too-large) dialog box open, press the option key and select Window menu > Arrange in Front. That should bring the resize handle into view at the bottom right, and you can shrink the dialog box down (and that smaller size should be preserved).
If that fails, again with the too-large dialog box open, select System Preferences > Displays and set the resolution to something very small (e.g. 640x480), then after the switch, immediately change it back to your native resolution - that should shrink the dialog box back down to a reasonable size.
Hope this helps...
