Black border around my desktop and everything is zoomed out?

i have a macbook air and just this morning i noticed the desktop screen is zoomed out and there is a black border around the page, also when i go on safari or any other app everything is slightly zoomed out including text. even when i zoom in on the page it is still small and i still see a black border which covers the buttons to exit or minimize the page unless i go over it with my cruiser. how can i get the screen back to normal ?

Try a NVRAM reset
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R.
Turn on your Mac.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys immediately after you hear the startup sound.
Hold these keys until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for a second time.
Release the keys.

  • I have a black border around my video and I would like it to be full screeen

    I am running Premier Elements 10 on a PC and I am getting a black boarder around the video and I have rendered it multiple ways.   Is there a way to get it gone?  This is the link for youtube.  HCC 2014 video Final - YouTube
    Thank you
    Bruce

    Answers in CAPS.  But from playing with the file, it does not appear that I can get rid of the black border.   I would have to start again from scratch.    I tried a FV4 file format and a AVCHD.mp4 format and they both have black borders.   Any other suggestions on how to get rid of the border, or is it impossible at this point.

    created by A.T. Romano in Premiere Elements - View the full discussionBruceKeenan Thank you for the reply with a lot of important details. With a 99.9999% certainty, I believe you issue is thata. you used 4:3 project settings for 16:9 source mediab. when you imported that 16:9 source media you used it as is without scalingit to get rid of the black border at the top and bottom of the frame caused by the 16:9 source ina 4:3 project. Apparently when you opened the new project, you accepted the default which is NTSC DV Standard 4:3 insteadof changing that to the project preset that would best match the properties of your source 16:9. For you to check out... a. Open a new project and, in the new project dialog, click on change settings, followed bychanging the project preset toNTSCDSLR1080pDSLR [email protected]   
    I OPENED A NEW PROJECT AND THE STANDARD SET WAS NTSC-DV-STANDARD-48kHz WHICH IS MY PROBLEM AS YOU POINTED OUT.    
     b. If you really want a F4V file HD, thenShareComputerAdobe Flash Videowith Presets = F4V - HD1080p (Flash 9 and Higher) If you want a MPEG2 file (SD), thenShareComputerMPEGSwith Presets = NTSC DVD Widescreen If you want a MPEG2 file (HD), thenShareComputerMPEG2with Presets = HDTV 1080p 29.97 High Quality If you want to explore with an AVCHD.mp4 file (HD), thenShareComputerAVCHDwith Presets =  MP4 - H.264 1920 x 1080p30 Lots to explore. And, there should be no black borders anywhere. If any questions or needclarification, please do not hesitate to ask. Thank you. ATR Please note that the Adobe Forums do not accept email attachments.

  • Using HD plasma as external display, black border around mac desktop

    Hey all, I'm having some difficulty setting up my Panasonic plasma tv as an external display for my Macbook. Whenever I hook up the display I am faced with thick black borders around the mac desktop on the external display. I have messed with the resolution setting for probably 2 hours with no success and the borders persist. I have it hooked up via an hdmi to dvi cable connected to a mini dvi cable. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get it to display full screen on my plasma display without the borders? The displays native resolution is 1024x768, I believe. Any help would be appreciated!

    The problem isn't with your mac, it's the settings on the Plasma.
    Make sure you are outputting the correct resolution (1024x768 you said), although are you sure the display doesn't want 1366 x 768? That's what mine wants through it's DVI board.
    Once that's set, if you have boarder alignment problems then you need to adjust the overscan settings for that input.
    If you have a commercial version of the Panasonic it's easy, just use the Picture Pos/Size button on the remote to get to the menu to adjust it. If you have a consumer version Plasma, then ?.. It might be buried in the service menu? I don't know, but once you figure that out you can adjust it. Do a search in avsforum.com for your model number + overscan and you'll find the info you need.

  • Black border around jpegs even tho frame size set right

    Hi
    Can a friendly soul please tell me why my images are not the same width as my video footage.
    The project is set to "standard" at 720 by 576.
    When I set up the image prior to importing to CS3 i make sure they are the same 720 by 576.
    Yet after theyve been imported i get a virtical black border around the left and right side. the pic is too narrow.
    Experimenting with the sizes before import it seems 769 by 576 is about the right size.
    But now the image (its a movie title) moves ever so slightly as i play the timeline. Its the first clip in the project.
    Images are created in photoshop and then saved as Jpegs.
    Video footage is DV PAL quality filmed on a Sony pd150 camcorder (this is a GREAT bit of kit btw)
    thanks in advance

  • How can I print with black border around edge of image?

    I'd like to add a black border around the edge of certain images I'm printing. I know it's fairly trivial in Lightroom, but I can't see where this option is in Aperture. Is this lacking in Aperture, or am I just missing it? Many thanks.
    PS -- I'm aware there are some plug-ins that claim to do this, so if Aperture can't do this, please feel free to chime in with comments on the best plug-in for this task.

    Aperture BorderFX 1.1
    Thanks, Rich. That's a good plug-in, and does cover what I need (with lots of other features, too). The problem, though, is it requires an export of the image, which I then have to either print from another application, or reimport to Aperture to print. I was hoping to find something that will either just apply the border to the print job, or that would serve as more of an Edit With . . . type of plug-in than an Export plug-in, so I can keep everything in one place. Thanks again.

  • Black Border around movie in HD

    I'm a newbie so apologies if this is a really dumb/basic question.
    I recently edited a movie that I shot in HD (1080i). I edited it in Final Cut Express but there is a thick black-border around the whole thing, which is the say the footage doesn't fill the screen, and this isn't letter-boxing, it's a square around everything. How do a remove this? When I export it to quicktime it distorts the picture.
    Here is what I'm talking about:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZ5il5ZfZ1c

    It looks as if its been captured incorrectly? Are you sure you shot HD 1080i? If yes, it looks as if the camera downconverted on export and you used a DV setting. Make sure you use the correct HDV setting to capture. Make sure the sequence you're working in is also set to the correct HD format. Make sure the camera is outputting HD and not outputting DV.

  • How to get rid of the black border around the artboard

    Hopefully my last question for tonight.
    I need to get rid of the black border around the artboard. The two images show my drawing lined up with the art board and then inside the artboard. The dark gray is not the artboard.
    As you see, the artboard has a black border. I need to get rid of it. It shows up in my project when my color key is green. The black won't go to transparent.
    So how-to get rid of the border? Thanks
    ***Update***
    I figured it out. View > Hide Artboards. Maybe this will help someone. Doesn't change the fact my spider looks like a tick:)

  • Black border around hotspots in Image map?

  • What about this black border around my movie?

    I've just started learning about iMovie. With a Canon Digital I've shot some test footage. Thing is, some of the clips have a black border around the entire movie where other clips have no border top and bottom but do have side borders. What gives? Many thanks.
    Mac Powerbook   Mac OS X (10.4.1)  

    The problem sounds like it could be an issue with what format you selected for the project when you first created it. iMovie gives you a choice of DV, DV Widescreen, HDV 1081, HDV720, MPEG-4. If you choose one format for your project, but the camera is not set for that particular format, you will see the black bars appear on the sides or around the top of your image.
    Which Canon camera are you using? Check to see what format the camera is recording, and make sure your new project matches this.

  • Black border around all clips

    Hello
    I have a black border around all my clips from one camera even when I set the canvas to "fit to window" I'm having to scale up these clips to 138% to get them in line with other clips in the project. I suspect this may have been an incorrect camera setting but is it possible to fix them all in FCP without having to scale each clip individually?
    Many Thanks
    Adrian

    If you get one clip the way you want it, you can copy it, select all the others, right-click, choose "Paste Attributes", and check "Basic Motion".
