Preferences windows doesn't fit on netbook screen

I'm a satisfied netbook user since more that 6 months, I've noticed that several applications are still using windows dimensions way too big for our little 1024x600px screens. The same happens with Adobe Reader and his preferences window.
Hope Adobe will fix this in a later release

  • I open iWeb but the main window doesn't open/appear on screen. The little windows like the inspector and font windows appear. Can anyone help?

    I open iWeb but the main window doesn't open/appear on screen. The little windows like the inspector and font windows appear. Can anyone help?

    Try the following:
    1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    3 - launch iWeb and try again.
    NOTE:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • The font size is so big my desktop doesn't fit on the screen

    The font size is so big my desktop doesn't fit on the screen and can't figure out how to fix it.

    There solutions in the "More like this" list on the right.
    If this behaviour is system wide you have to choose another reslotution in SystemPreferences/Displays.

  • Preferences window doesn't display

    When I try to access the preferences window in Mail through the menu (File-Preferences) or through the keyboard shortcut (,), the preferences window doesn't appear. When I use the keyboard shortcut the Mail menu file turns blue but nothing happens. I've tried resetting my Mail preferences by moving the com.apple.mail.plist file to the desktop and restarting my computer, but it didn't resolve the problem. I'm running 10.4.6. and I've only noticed this problem in the last few weeks, so I don't know if it's a problem associated with updating my version of Tiger or if it's something completely unrelated. Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

    CiaBrew,
    The next step would be to download and reinstall both the Mac OS X 10.4.6 Combo for PPC, and Security Update 2006-003 Mac OS X 10.4.6 Client (PPC).

  • Logic pro doesn't fit on my screen

    I have a 13inch macbook pro 2012 and when i use logic pro x it fills the screen and part of the application is off the screen meaning i can't see all of it and there is no way that i know to make the application smaller to fit on the screen ?

    Hello gggffff,
    This can be done by choosing 'Zoom' under the Window menu in the menu bar.

    Window > Zoom.
    Command and + key will zoom in.
    Command and - key will zoom out.
    For applications that support trackpad zoom, enable Zoom in or out in Trackpad Scroll & Zoom prefs.
    See video at System Preferences > Trackpad > Scroll & Zoom. Hover pointer over Zoom in or Out.

  • HT204291 When I airplay my ipad, it doesn't fit the tv screen

    I have ipad air and using toshiba tv. When I mirror the image to the tv screen, it doesn't "fit to screen". Are other people having this problem?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Mirroring won't fill the TV screen. The iPad has an aspect ratio of 4:3 and the iPhone 4S or prior an aspect ratio of 3:2, neither of these will fit exactly into a TV screen which as an aspect ratio of 16:9. The Apple TV will not zoom the mirrored image, because it may well cut off information which is situated at the top or bottom of the screen.
    You may wish to try each of the settings in ‘Settings > Audio & Video > Adjust for AirPlay overscan’ for the best setting that suits you.

  • "adobe updater preferences" window doesn't show

    i have the newest adobe reader X and im trying to disable auto update as it says in many instructions on the net
    the problem is that i cant get to "Adobe Updater Preferences" window which is necessary to do this - the instructions says that it should appear after clicking "Help"-"Check for Updates" but i see only software checking for updates, completes the check and informing me about any new updates AND THAT'S ALL. just the information that there are no any new updates. there are no any "preferences" option or something as it shows for example below:
    http://www.chotocheeta.com/2007/11/01/turn-off-adobe-auto-update/
    any idea whats going on? all sites says that this window should be there...

    i did this before i started this thread ("do not download or install updates automatically")... it doesnt change anything.
    really, wouldnt be life easier if people would disable auto update on SAME window where updates popup? why we must spend our time for searching something that could be just next to info about new updates waiting for download? then wouldnt be this and thounds of other threads :/

  • IPod Preference Window Doesn't Show in iTunes

    My computer recognizes my iPod but the preference window does not show up so I can't add new playlists or make changes. It syncs but I need that preference window. How do I get it back? I had to do an archive and restore last week...would that affect it?
    Thanks.

    If Windows recognised it, there is a good chance of recovery, by using Chkdsk
    go to DOS and type in
    chkdsk drive: /F
    where drive: is the iPod drive ID either D: or E:
    The above operation will try to fix any iPod filesystem error.
    Then iTunes will pop up, or you may have to Reset iPod while still connected to the PC.
    Antivirus has a tendency to freeze Itunes sync Operation with Ipod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your Ipod filesystem, so when iTunes cant read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes, (back to the pre-Apple II days).
    My suggestion.
    Connect your Ipod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete.
    Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
    Stop the Antivirus program
    Connect your Ipod to the PC
    When Itunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
    When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
    Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well, since you got such a huge library.
    When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
    Good Luck! and have a Nice Day!

  • Time Machine Lock in Preferences window doesn't remain locked after a system reboot

    I am not sure if this problem occurred in Lion or not, but in Mountain Lion, I'm noticing the lock in the lower left corner of the Time Machine preferences page doesn't remain locked after a reboot of the computer. Has anyone else noticed this issue? Is there a fix or is it a glitch that Apple will need to correct?

    From the menu bar, select  ▹ System Preferences ▹ Security & Privacy ▹ General ▹ Advanced... ▹ Require an administrator password to access locked preferences: On.

  • Window doesn't fit screen

    Since installing Mavericks, I find some windows open just a bit larger than the actual screen. Just enough so that I can neither reach the three dots in the upper left hand corner nor the bottom right hand corner to resize it. In fact, I am totally stuck and the only thing left to do is to press Cmd+W to close the window. Does anyone else have this problem?

    I'm pretty certain I can't see the double arrows because they're the same height as the red, yellow, green dots. I knew Cmd F for full screen with videos, but I didn't know Ctrl Cmd F. I'll definitely give that a try next time it happens. I also do get stuck in full screen with VLC - annoyingly with sound, but no picture so I have to exit full screen and then go back.

  • Save for Web & Devices window doesn't fit @ 1366 x 768

    I'm using a MacBook Air running at 1366 x 768, or within Adobe CS5 requirement tolerances, but whenever I try to 'Save for Web & Devices', the dialogue box that pops up is much too big, vertically speaking, for my screen. Attempting to minimize/maximize doesn't rectify the problem--a substantial portion of the window, including the buttons necessary to execute the save action, are in the not-visible portion of the window. If I hit ENTER/RETURN, I can complete the process, but this is clearly a bug: I should be able to resize the window, or scroll within it.
    Is there something else I can do, short of pursue a fix from Adobe? Some setting I've overlooked? I'm running Lion, but this problem started on a Snow Leopard install.

    Wrong!  Yes, you do have to hide the Dock if you want to share the Adobe Photoshop minimum required space with Apple's Dock, which in my opinion should be invisible when not needed, which in turn is for a split second every half hour or more.  I'm sick and tired of Apple shoving ugly, intrusive OS features down our throats (see footnote * in next paragraph).  I want the computer to do what I want, not what Apple wants.

  • My desktop doesn't fit on my screen

    My desktop and any software screens will not fit on my MacBook computer monitor anymore. Mousing to the edges of the screen will cause it to slide into view while the other edges slide out of view. I've tried changing to different screen resolutions but it doesn't fix the problem. Any suggestion would be be very appreciated. 
    Thank you.

    Hold down the Control-key and use your Mouse/Trackpad to scroll down at the same time.
    Go to System Prfeferences the Universal Access and disable the "Zoom"-feature.
    Zoom can come up when you used the Control-key plus Mouse/trackpad-scroll up.
    The Zoom feature itself is enabled/disabled by Alt-Command-8
    When enabled: Alt-Command-= zooms in and Alt-Command- - zooms out.
