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...)

  • 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!

    My CS3/PS has started to change the cursor into a line of three VERY small icons when dragged over a picture or menu. Thus it is VERY difficult for instance to drag a layer in the layer list to the wastebasket - the cursor simply is too big for the waistebasket icon. Even all other exact work is impossible.  Of course I have checked all the cursor presets but nothing seems to help. My OS is Windows7.

    Have you tried resetting Preferences?
    A logical next step would be to reset your Preferences.
    To reset Preferences:
    If Photoshop is already open on your screen, close it (Quit). Then hold down Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and start Photoshop.
    A dialog box will pop up asking if you want to delete the existing Preferences file (the "Settings"). Click Yes in the dialog box. The existing Preferences file will be scrapped and a new one will be created.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • My tab default is1.25 which is too big for the A5 document I'm working on, how do I change the default tab so that I don't have to reset each individual line?

    My tab default is1.25 which is too big for the A5 document I'm working on, how do I change the default tab so that I don't have to reset each individual line?

    Hi Hannah,
    Inspector > Text > Tabs Button > Tab Settings > Default Tabs.
    To set a tab stop on the go, click in the ruler.
    If you can't see the ruler, Menu > View > Show Rulers.
    To set tab stops for lines (paragraphs) you have already typed, select those paragraphs and set them all at once.
    Also, have a look at Menu > Pages > Preferences > Rulers.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • Desktop is too big for the display

    Some how this morning while on my Mac a display setting or something was changed. If your on the desktop, with all windows closed, the background, icons, dock.....everything is too big for the display. If you move the cursor all the way to left it will 'slide' the desktop in that direction. Move it all the way to the right edge of the display and it 'slides' the desktop to the right until you reach the edge. Also the same for the up or down directions.
    At first I thought it had something to do with the multi-touch track pad, but I don't think so. I have checked all the display settings I can think of and have tried re-sizing the desktop to all other settings in an attempt to fix the problem. Additionally I have restarted/shutdown the computer totally to see if it would fix the issue. No success. Please help.
    Thx,
    Audioboy

    I had the same problem, but the zoom was already off. So I went under "options" and unchecked "use scroll wheel with modifier keys to zoom," and that took care of it.
    Thought that might help some others who find this thread.

  • "[Filename]" is too big for the trash. Would you like to delete it permanently?

    Recently, when I delete files, I am getting a message stating, ""[Filename]" is too big for the trash. Would you like to delete it permanently?". This recently started showing up for no reason and in the past I have deleted files significantly bigger and not recieved this message. Any ideas why this is showing up and how I can stop it from happening?
    For reference, I have a 768GB SSD with approximately 470GB of space available so space is not the issue.

    nbar, it seems that this trash issue is a reoccuring issue and that it is resetting itself. I followed the article that provided a link to, but after following the steps and finding success, it started doing it again.
    If anyone has any idea on what might be causing this issue, it would be greatly appreciated...not a life or death situation...just really annoying.

  • Scanned doc now too big for print

    Hi,
    I have scanned this sheet and modified it, now i need to print it back but photoshop says its too big for print.
    Indeed it just printed a portion of it.
    Can someone with experience of this kind of issue explain me the technicalities and what should i do?
    I know photoshop only when it comes to chop pictures, put loads of filters and make them jolly, i am not into stuffs like scan/sizing/printing, etc.,  so please don't explain to go down to the basic basics in your explanation.
    Thanks

    Well, when you say "Manufacturer's software" I assume you mean the scanner's software and NOT Photoshop.  It is best to scan directly into Photoshop by using the menu File>Acquire Image>[select your scanner source--either the scanner name or TWAIN driver].  When this is chosen your scanner's driver will launch a "plug-in" software interface that will allow you to scan the document and set a marquee around what you want to scan and also choose the resolution.  After that you will be able to save the document -- give it a unique name like "file.psd" -- and then make changes -- again give it a unique name like "file_edited.psd".   The document measurements you gave us seem to fit within the bounds of a United States (US) Letter size document which is 8.5 inches x 11 inches.  If your printer has the ability to print borderless documents you should be able to print this document without a problem with a resolution of 300dpi.  It is possible that it would not be able to if there is not enough memory on your printer and that is why you get the error message.  (But as a JPG image the file size will be compressed, so I'm not really sure why your document would be too large.)

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • Display too big for the monitor

    Suddenly it seems as though I have a dispaly for the visually impared. As if the monitor that would be needed to see the whole dipaly at once would be 32' instead of the 17" available. As a result, I can only see a small portion of the window at any one time. Is this a bug? or did something get turned on that I can turn back off? Please help!!

    Hello Pieman18,
    Glad to hear that it worked for you
    The weather isn't too bad right now. We've been up in the 70's and higher for a little while. So, come on up
    But, for "millions of dollars" I think I could arrange a trip to California. I haven't been there in about 15 years. So, I'd enjoy the change of scenery.
    My wife will actually be down there in October. So, you could always give it to her. Just make her promise not to spend it all before she comes back home
    Anyway, I'm glad to hear that you found my solution helpful. It's nice when you can find a simple fix for the odd problems

    I have a Vista operating system with 2 users.  Somehow I got two diffent libraries for the users.  How can I delete the one and then access the correct library on the other users profile?

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.
