Screen on my phone it seems to be too big for the phone

Don't know if this a major problem but its bloody annoying! I've installed os 3.0.1 on my iphone 3gs 16gb and there was no problems, however when I looked at the screen on my phone it seems to be too big for the phone, only by 1-2mm. I'm able to move the screen either up or down by touch but its annoying, I can either have my signal strength, clock and battery showing or the phone,mail, safari and ipod at the bottom, obviously I keep the top of the screen visible but it wasn't like that before I downloaded that stupid update!! I would rather go back to 3.0 but I can't find it anywhere? any ideas anyone

Have you zoomed in a little as per p. 187 of the manual... http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf
If not, try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

When I open my iPad the page is too big for the screen and won't shrink down. The keypad has also become very 'sticky'

Recently when I open any apps the pages are too big for the screen. They shrink when pinched but immediately become bigger again. It's very difficult to scroll too. The keypad has become very sticky. Missing letters and spaces when I type and needing to tap the keys much harder than usual

I have the exact same problem, I think. I was on my iPad 3's home page swiping R-L to locate a certain icon when all of a sudden the screen appeared to get HUGE. So big I could only see one or two icons. I couldn't even turn it off to try a reboot because after I pushed the sleep/wake button, I couldn't find the red slide bar. I finally just had to wait for the battery to die, then recharge it, and it looked normal again. I also spoke with several friends who haven either iPads or iPhones, and they've all had this happen to them. I checked my accessibility settings, and Zoom was already off. So what is causing this problem for so many people, and what can we do to prevent it? Please help.

My iPad standard window is bit too big for the screen.

My iPad screen unexpectedly got slightly too big for the display window. The size is bit too big. For example, the keyboard when it pops up does not fully display all tkey sans. Another example is the time/power remaining bar slips out of sight. Did I accidentally change something? Is this an issue with version of iOS that I am using (4.3.3)? (Note I'm not talking about resizing by using your fingers.)

John,
I am having the same problem. The enlargement is not the same as the 3 finger tap or the 2 finger zoom. The screen opens and then bumps to a slightly larger screen just enough to make it too big to see the outer edges. You can put 3 fingers on the screen and move the screen to see the edges but you cannot get it to shrink to the correct size. This is the second time this has happened to me. I am also having some other issues. Sometimes while in an app the app will close and I will be diverted to the home screen. And sometimes when playing "with Friends games" the letters on the letterboard (not the key pad) disappear, will not move or are giant. I plan on taking it back to the Apple store this week but I hate the idea of having to start over.

Display unaccountably gets too big for the screen

This has happened maybe a dozen times, and I don't know what I did to make it happen. Suddenly, the desktop display gets too large for the screen, and I have to scroll around to find the dock or the menu bar. Whatever else I'm working on, e-mail, etc., gets outsized, too. Does anyone know how to correct this? So far, restarting has worked, but that's a pretty time-consuming way to do it.

Cindy,
Hold down the CNTL key and scroll down with the mouse or trackpad. That should change it back to size. This is called screen zoom.
Cheers
You can also deactivate it in System Preferences for the Mouse and/or trackpad.

Tabbed Panel Widget is too wide for the Phone Layout.

Is it possible to reduce the width of the Tabbed Panel Widget for use on the Phone layout? When I grab a handle on the widget box and re-size it to the smaller width of the Phone layout, it springs back. There does not seem to be a way to adjust the width.

Under Layers go to the content Area and move the Textfields to the left and/or remove the pictures , after that you can resize the tabbed panel.
Hope that helps

Apple TV Picture now too big for the 16/9 screen, wrong resolution ?

Now that I've added a new Samsung Home Theatre system to my new Samsung 46" HDTV, the Apple
TV picture is displaying way too big, cutting off about 1/2 the picture!?! The resolution seems to be set wrong ( 720 ?). The other inputs DVD and DirectTV display OK. I have the TV set for 16x9. It was working fine before I plugged the AppleTV into the new Home Theatre System. I then tried replugging the AppleTV directly into the TV's other HDMI port but the problem still remains.I can't find any way of readjusting the resolution. Any suggestions ?

Problem solved. It's a faulty HDMI port on my TV.
I have been plagued by intermittent random problems with my old Apple TV, especially where there was a blank screen but audio could be heard - solved by a restart. Then today I got the new Apple TV and it displayed as though there was overscan (actually - way more than overscan should cause now that I can see what it SHOULD look like). The final piece of the puzzle was trying to play content purchased previously on iTunes - no HDCP. Finally something pointing to the HDMI connection. I did a bit of troubleshooting - swapping cables, swapping HDMI ports and problem solved. Of the 3 HDMI ports on my TV - when the Apple TV is plugged into port 2 I get this massive overscan and HDCP doesn't work. In ports 1 and 3 it works perfectly. Thankfully the problem with the new Apple TV was consistent enough for me to easily diagnose the problem - unlikely the random nature of the issues I was having with the old Apple TV. Time for a new TV - hurrah! (it's under warranty...)

Why is it that the wallpapers are too big for the screen? I liked how in iOS 6 that you could make it whatever size you wanted. Please Please Please bring that back and you will have one happy customer!!!

Is there is a reason why pictures in iOS 7 don't work well with setting your backgrounds??
This needs to be changed back to iOS 6 style for setting backgrounds, otherwise everything else is good.

"Why" - because Apple designed it that way, probably to allow for the motion-parallax effect in the iOS 7 home screen. It has been this way since iOS 7 was released 6 months ago. Why are you first noticing it now?

My display has gotten too big for the screen! How to fix?

This is really strange. The tab bar at the top and the dock at the bottom don't both fit on the screen anymore. And when I move the mouse the whole screen shifts until it rests at its topmost or bottommost position. Same with left/right. There's about 4" of play in each direction. Very frustrating. Tried System Preferences but all the settings seem correct. Anyone know what this is and how to fix it? Thanks,
John

It sounds like you have accidentally activated zoom.
You can disable zoom in System Preferences->Universal Access preference pane->Seeing.

The new ios7 update I can't size my wallpapers anymore. They are all way too big for the screen. Before I would just pinch to size it however I wanted and now it won't do this anymore. Really ***** because now you can't see the wallpapers fully.

Before the ios7 update we uses to be able to size our wallpapers backgrounds we choose to be the size we desire to fit our screen. Now we can't do this. Why? Is it something they left out for some reason or is there something I'm doing wrong?

Yes you can delete those temporary files as long as you've saved any changes you've made back to the main document. So I'd open the document with the same name without the ~ and hidden file attribute and make sure it's the way you want it. Then you can delete the temporary file.

The pages become too big for the screen on Macbook pro

Hello,
Yesterday I was watching a movie on amazon.com using my Macbook Pro (retina display if it helps). I connected it to my TV via HDMI and put it on full screen. After the movie I was too lazy to tidy up and went to sleep. This morning, when I opened it, on the 'safari' ( I don't know if its the same name in english because my computer is in french) and battle.net have 1/3 of the page is outside the borders of it horizontally and vertically. I also feel that everything is bigger. I tried restarting it or closing the pages and opening them again but it doesn't work. Please help me because I use my laptop for everything I do and I need it as soon as possible. Please excuse any spelling mistakes.

Sorry I found what the problem was but I can only explain in french, you have to go to 'preferences system' then to 'Moniteurs' and click on 'Optimal (retina).

HOW DO I FREEZE MY SCREEN SO IT DOESN'T MOVE AROUND, THE DISPLAY SCREEN IS NOW TOO BIG FOR THE SCREEN.

My kids have played around with my computer & the display is now so large that it doesn't fit on the screen so I can only see the top or bottom if I move the mouse there, how do I get it so it all fits back in it's fixed screen?

They have accidentally (or not!) activated Zoom!
Go to System Preferences/Universal Access/Seeing to turn it off!

When firefox is loaded the display is too big for the screen & blocks out controls

When I load Firefox Home, the display is too large to fit into the screen making it impossible to see the controls (Toolbar and log-out cross etc) This has only just happened, everything was working perfectly until about an hour ago

Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.
If that works then close Firefox (File > Exit/Quit) to save that setting.

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
