Why can I no longer use my own image in its original dimensions as my wallpaper?

Taking a screenshot and using that does NOT work - I'm still forced to crop the image by 30% or more.  Even editing the image down to a smaller resolution does nothing - not that I should have to do this manually in 2013!!! This is one of the stupidest issues I have ever seen.  Every computer/device in the past 20 years has allowed you to set a wallpaper the way you want using the image you wanted - now Apple has created a stupid and pointless parallax function that some 12 year old thought up at the expense of one of the most basic and essential functions that everyone wants. Just unbelievable. How could they roll out four updates to this horrendous iOS7 and STILL not have fixed this issue!?
I have the iPad 4 by the way, not surprisingly Apple only gives "iPad" and "iPad 2" as device options!!! Sell your Apple stock folks, it's over. I've never seen a more clear harbinger of decline than iOS7.

You already seem to know what the issue is, it is the parallax feature that was added to iOS 7.  From your rant, it appears that your attempt to work around this was not successful.  According to the Apple documents I've seen, they recommend that you enlarge your image (not reduce it).  Make your image have excess space on all sides, which is not displayed on the screen.  This way, when you tilt your device one direction or another, it can shift the image to give the appearance of 3D. 
As a photographer, I like to use the full frame of my images, but I also know that I need to leave room around the image as well.  I have some photos I have taken that I can't use because I have them cropped too tightly too, but I have others that work just fine.  Just remember that part of the image file is "off screen" so that if iOS has to shift the image up it has some image that can scroll onto the screen.  It needs this space on all sdes, so just make youre images larger, and keep in mind that a portion on each side will be outside the normally visible screen...  If you don't like this feature, you can always go into the settigns and turn it off.

    Hi,
    I had never heard of someone using the iPhone Number as the ID in the iMessages account in the Mac version.
    i.e without adding an Apple ID
    iMessages does allow iPhone numbers and mine lists mine.
    I would try this.
    Sign Out of the iMessages account and Quit Messages
    On the iPhone in Settings > Messages remove the Apple ID
    Set the iPhone to Airplane mode for a few minutes (to break with the  Server)
    On starting the phone up again check the iPhone Number  is ticked for iMessages.
    If it is add the Apple ID
    On the Mac restart Messages
    Add the Apple ID
    At this point you should get a pop up or two saying the iPhone is using the Number and Apple ID.
    Accept these and they get added to the Receive At list and Send From drop down.

    Why can I no longer use my headphones remote to fast forward or rewind music videos on iPhone since upgrading to ios7?

    The YouTube app is not included in iOS 6 (I think because the licensing agreement with google ended). You will either need to try one of the YouTube apps from the store (there is an iPhone optimised app from google, and other people have said that they are working on an iPad version), or (if this isn't the version that you have tried) try accessing the mobile version via Safari : http://m.youtube.com (you can create a home screen shortcut for the site)

    WWhy can I no longer use hdmi cable to connect to the tv

    Anyway, with the introduction of ios 8.x, apple stopped supporting older a/v cables. You need to get the latest a/v cable with the correct firmware. There is a little chip in the a/v cable. go to the apple store. Buy a new cable. Verify the cable works in the store.
    some people report success with a full factory restore.
    Re-boot ipad.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears, then drag the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.  page 128 iPad user manual.
    force power down if the above give you trouble.
    Hold down both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button. Ten seconds or more.  Hold until the Apple logo appears.

  • Why can I no longer use a period in a file name for Adobe Reader?

    I was using Google Chrome to view pdf's but Chrome wasn't following the field tabbing order of the pdf.  To resolve this issue, I decided to try disabling Chrome's pdf viewer so that pdf's would open in Adobe Reader.  It didn't go as planned and decided to go back to using Chrome's pdf viewer.  I can no longer rename a pdf with a period.  Is there a setting may have changed?  I don't know if this is an Adobe or a Chrome issue but I thought I would start with Adobe.  Thank you!

    Naming a file with a dot is a dangerous and unpredictable thing to do. Whether it works CAN depend on what comes after the dot.

  • Why can I no longer use arrow keys to go between tabs?

    I recently got a new Windows 7 computer and have Firefox 3.6.10 installed on it. On my old computer I used to be able to double click the tabs so that they got a little "box" around the text (telling me it was selected) and then used the arrow keys to go back and forth between the tabs.
    I liked doing it this way as that left a free hand to be able to close any tabs I didn't want open at the same time (unlike similar functions such as Ctrl + Page Up/Down which take two hands to operate) -- does anyone know if I can fix this? I read that pressing F7 might solve the problem, but that didn't seem to change anything.

    In Firefox 3.5 and later you can no longer click the Tab bar to set focus to it.<br />
    You can press Ctrl+K (Mac: Cmd+K) to set focus to the search bar and press the Tab key until the tab bar gets focus.

  • Why can I no longer use "favorites" since the last Firefox update????

    I imported all my Favorites from Internet explorer when I first began using Firefox. I click on "favorites" and I get a complete list of all the URLs I use a lot. After the last update, the list no longer appears. I've reloaded the app and no joy. It still works if I quit firefox and use IE.

    Alternately, you can import your IE Favorites into Firefox's Bookmarks system. However, if you plan to add new Favorites in IE, then they would not be the same between browsers, so perhaps that isn't the right approach for you.

  • In CC, why can I no longer use Select/Modify/Contract after Selecting all?

    I've been using CS3 and am now on CC.
    I tried using the Border option then Inverse, but this is a poor substitute.
    Any solutions or alternative suggestions?
    Many thanks.

    This issue is solved with today's (10/6/14) release of Photoshop CC 2014 contains a "Apply Effect at Canvas Bounds" option for the follow features:
    Select > Modify > Smooth...
    Select > Modify > Expand...
    Select > Modify > Contract...
    Select > Modify > Feather...
    Users now have the option to have these commands apply to an entire selection or just the portion of the selection that is not touching the canvas bounds with the "Apply effect at canvas bounds" checkbox.
    The checkbox option is remembered for each, individual selection modification option. The checkbox default is "off" on first launch and with preferences deleted.
    With the "Apply effect at canvas bounds" checkbox ON, the behavior is equivalent to Photoshop CS3 behavior.
    Thank you for your feedback!

  • Why can I no longer use my remote Desktop Apps?

    I have the unlimited data plan on my Droid Razr (I know its a tad dated) and was able to use these apps flawlessly until about 2 months ago.  It says that I am unable to reach the host due to the configuration of the network I am using.  Wifi still works and connects at home, but it seems that there are issues when trying to do so via both Google remote desktop app and Splashtop.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

        Let's look further into this nkfitz1313! Did anything specific take place when this began (new phone, update)? Have you tried working with your home internet provider to try changing the beginning and end ranges of the IP range on your router? Please share more details. Thank you.

  • Why can I no longer open a PE image directly in PE 11 by simply double clicking the image?

    In contrast to previous versions, for whatever reason, I cannot open a PhotoShop Elements image directly by simply 'double clicking' on the image. When I do this with PE 11, PE 11 opens blank and I then have to go to the Open menu and find the image I want to open (the very image I 'clicked' on in the first place)? Why this extra time consuming step?
    Thanks,
    Dale

    Thanks for the reply.
    However, I don't understand your answer.
    To refresh my memory, I just now selected a jpg. image and opened it with PSE 10. When PSE 10 opened, there was my image, ready to be worked with. However, when I repeated the exact same thing with with PSE 11, PSE 11 opened a blank page and I had to go to the Open menu and reopen my image. I don't understand why this extra step is required with PSE 11.
    The screen shot you suggested means nothing to me in post http://forums.adobe.com/message/4876725#4876725 as I've no idea where it comes from or what I'm looking at.
    Can you provide further details?
