Apple start page too small

When I open safari to get on the internet suddenly my apple start up page that safari first opens is only a square size on the scree instead if the usual full widescreen display. Hitting the green +open button in upper left corner doesn't open it up. Every internet page is displayed this way. How do I fill up the whole screen?

Hi Chris,
Mary is right. Once you drag the bottom right corner to the size you want and leave it there, the next time you open Safari, that is the size it will be.
You can put this in your Safari menu bar if you like too...
javascript:self.moveTo(0,0);self.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);
Then just go into your menu edit area and name what you like.
Good Luck
Adam

Apple Start page no longer works with Safari 1.3.2?

I just set up an iBook G3 with Mac OS X 10.3.9, with all updates, and opened Safari, which is set to got to the Apple Start page initially:
http://www.apple.com/startpage
Safari loads the page, but two areas are blank: the "Hot News Headlines" in the middle of the page, and the "iTunes Movie Trailers" on the left side. No content appears in these areas. If I click on the "All" next to "Hot News Headlines" a page of html-code text appears.
When I load this page in Firefox or Camino, these areas have the expected content: text in "Hot News Headlines" and a picture in "iTunes Movie Trailers".
I know Safari 1.3.2 is pretty old now, and cannot be upgraded to anything later, since it's integrated with 10.3.9; for this reason I recommend using a more current browser such as Camino or Firefox with this System. But I was just wondering: has anyone else seen this behavior? Is Apple's own web page now too much for Safari 1.x to handle?

Hi HandyMac,
Yes, Safari v1.3.2 is quite dated by today's standards. And yes, the Apple StartPage doesn't work for me either 100% on Safari v1.3.2.
Most Panther users have migrated to Camino. FireFox 2 is no longer updated for Panther either.
On Panther I use Opera and SeaMonkey.

Apple start page text in arabic

Make sure you dump the fonts Helvetica Fractions and Times Phonetic if you have them.
Send me a screenshot if you want to verify the problem (tom at bluesky dot org).

My apple start page does not come up unless I reboot, neither does apple website

My apple start page has stopped coming up when I click on safari unless I reboot. Some times no apple website will come up.

Search engines are not clairvoyant. So you have to tell them you exist :
     http://www.google.com/addurl/
You could also have posted the URL in your message.
Google indexes this forum in real-time and would have found your URL within hours.
Then check it with this text in the search field :
     site:yourdomain.com
Where yourdomain is your domainname, if you have one.
Here's mine :
     http://www.google.com/search?q=site:wyodor.net
You can also add the URL in the profile's preferences.

Problem with text size on search pages, too small, the rest of the computer is good

the text and the images on the computer is in a good size in general, but on search pages in Firefox is too small, sometime it starts larger and then turn small in a few seconds ..... on facebook page the text is ok in size. How can we increase the text size permanently?

Hi! Please have a look at the following article for information on changing text size:

Apple Watch band too small

I asked the Apple chat people if the Tim Cook Genius Division was working on a solution that will allow those of us that don't fit Apple's idea of who should buy and wear their Apple Watch, a way to wear the watch rather than put it in our pocket with our iPhone. They told me that there are no plans at this time to customize the Watch. I explained that I don't want to customize it I would just like to be able to wear it as it is marketed, on my wrist. They told me that in essence that would be customizing it. I am hoping that someone will realize that it would be very easy to make a Milanese Loop band longer or any of the bands for that matter. Why frustrate their public and lose sales. It doesn't make sense. I guess we can duct tape them on our wrist until young enthusiastic entrepreneurs start marketing bands that fit us. Now that will be customizing.

I visited the Apple Store today for my 15 minute try-on session. Was very disappointed that every single band that I tried on did not fit. I could not get my hand through the Milanese loop, the Black Leather band was too small by two holes and the Black magnetic link band actually fit but as soon as I started to bend my wrist, the band got looser and looser and then would just open and fall off. Under normal all-day wear, I would surely loose the watch with this band because it does not loop around enough for my wrist.
What a shame that they are not making bands for people with larger wrists bones, fat wrists, skinny wrists, whatever! They should accommodate all size people even if they only have those specialized sizes in very limited quantities. If I have to wait 2-3 months for it, so be it! at least I can still get one.

Yosemite Apple Mail prints too small

After Yosemite upgrade the body of text in Apple Mail messages prints extremely small. 2 Printers tested - HP Laserjet 5100tn and a Konica Minolta 5500 with a Fiery controller. Printing to a PDF file first is OK.
This only seems to occur when I print messages that I've sent or when I print a message where someone has replied to a message that I sent previously. Only the body of the messages that I sent prints too small. The From, Subject, Date, To, My signature, and anything from messages that have been sent to me from someone else are all OK. In messages that were replies to me from messages that I sent to others, everything is OK except the body of the message that I originally sent to that individual.

I have had this issue as well and have not really been able to resolve it. Yosemite Mail app doesn't seem to have the option that previous OS did where you could choose "Scale Message to Fit," "Rewrap Message to Fit," etc.
Am I missing something here or did they disable this option? I know I can change font or increase font size in preferences, but I don't really need to increase font size for display, only for printing, which seems to be very tiny no matter what I try to do.

Screen Res. of 1080p loads pages too small to read and no fix/adjustments.

I have an MSI K9A2 Plat.MoBo with Asus 4850 Video card that runs well. My Monitor is a 32" Vizio w/HDMI, running @ a preferred screen resolution of 1080p. With the new Firefox 5 all pages load too small to read. I can modify text size but text overlaps while still not large enough to read. If I drop Screen resolution to 720p it all looks OK but the higher res. of course plays movies better and I prefer high resolution for general use as well.
I have had no issues of this type with Firefox v3.8..., in fact I have no issues at all with running Firefox 3.8
Thank you

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F). 
If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear. 
You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.

I have accidentally change my "Apple start-page" to one that does not have "search" window. How do I get back to my original Safari start up page?

When I am in safari and go to a site, I now do not have a place to "search". I accidently lost the original page that appears when going to safari. How do I get back to my original "start-page" that I started with?

I think you may mean the search box on the toolbar. In Safari click on the View menu and select Show Toolbar.
Alternatively, if you mean the 'Home Page' then open Safari -> Preferences -> General and next to 'Homepage' put in the address of the page you want - I'm guessing "http://www.google.com/".

Apple Watch Band too small. Will there be a XL size?

As I looked through the options for the Apple Watch I was really pumped to get one. This was until I saw Apples band size chart. Immediately I realized that the band sizes would never fit my wrist. It is frustrating to think that Apple has alienated a whole group of customers because they decided not to make a XL Apple Watch Band. I guess my question to Apple is will there be a XL Apple Watch Band?
Its frustrating to think that I may not be able to pre order my device because of small bands.

I have read several comments like this - even mentioned it when I went to the Apple Store for my try-on. (BTW my wrist problem was that mine is around 170mm, which is at one end of the Leather Loop and the other end of the other size - glad I did not pre-order the larger band like I planned.) Anyway, the two people I spoke to said that (1) yes they have heard many comments/complaints about no larger sizes and (2) they have not heard of any plans by Apple at this point in manufacturing larger bands. However, they did say that there will be bands coming out by third party manufacturers and then (and I) would be very surprised if no one made an effort to fill this market if Apple does not decide to.

Safari 5.1 cannot load apple start page or store etc

I have reset Safari many times, I have checked the preferences under general that it is set to Safari opens with a new window and do not know how to proceed. I have seen some suggestions for terminal commands and am leary about that and have read an apple page about changind DNS which I am unsure about.
Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi phyllism,
It's super easy. Just go back to where you set the Safari preferences to open with a new window; then directly underneath that, you will see "New windows open with: ". Set that to "Homepage"; then cut & paste this > http://store.apple.com/us
or this http://www.apple.com/hotnews/ into the Homepage: field.
Okay, there you go. Now if you prefer a different homepage within Apple's website, then just navigate there, open your Safari preferences and select "Set to current page" as your preferred home page.
Best Regards,
mm~

All hyperlinks in pages doc lead to apple start page

All hyperlinks in my doc have defaulted to http://www.apple.com/startpage/ Anyone else have this problem, and is it curable?

Ignore Apple's Help instructions. They are wrong.
1) Create Bookmarks in the usual way: Select text, go to Link Inspector, click Bookmarks, click +
2)Select the hyperlink text, go to the Link Inspector, click Hyperlink, check enable..., SCROLL THE DROPDOWN MENU IN THE "Link To" BOX (it shows "Webpage") until you reach "Bookmark", Now the URL box below will show "Name", scroll down its dropdown menu until you reach your bookmark.
Done.

Bookmarked page too small

I bookmarked a page, but when i reload it is tiny in the top left corner, how do i make it bigger?

Are you opening that bookmark in the sidebar?
Opening in the side bar is the default for bookmarks that are created via a link or button on a website. 
You can check the Properties of a bookmark via the right-click context menu in the side bar (Ctrl+B; Cmd+B on Mac). 
In the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) you can click the More button in the Details pane at the bottom right. 
Make sure that "Load this bookmark in the side bar" is not selected.

Published page too small

My site is published and look great, less its overall size. It doesn't cover an average sized window. So it is surrounded by a bunch of white space and that takes away from the professionalism of it.
I am not so savvy when it comes to web pages and so this may be the answer to my question. Yes? I hope not, but if so, back to square one it is!
Let me know and TIA

What theme are you using? The width of the content portion of a web page can be widened using the Inspector/Page/Layout pane.
Click to view full size
However, not all themes can be widened because they use graphic elements of a fixed size that do not scale up.
Have you tried setting the browser's background to a color, say black? What is it set to now? You would use the same Inspector pane for that.
