Can't see whole desktop

I think my wife sabotaged my Macbook!
She's not sure what she did but now I have to scroll right with the trackpad to see the right side of the desktop, or down to see the dock, or up to see the menu bar. I thought it was just a display resolution problem but I have chosen the highest selection in System prefs (1280x800).
Help!

Most likely your wife inadvertently turned on Zoom in the Universal Access preference pane. Go to System Preferences and check it out.

    Native mirroring is only available on recent Mac's. You will have to try a 3rd party solution like Airparrot.

  • Home sharing can't see my desktop PC

    I have some video files in iTunes on my desktop PC and I used to have no problems using home sharing.  Recently, the home sharing connection has being going down a fair amount and now my Apple TV can't see my desktop thru home sharing.  I've replaced the Apple TV but that didn't help.  As a test I installed iTunes on my laptop last night and I had no issues using hom sharing on it, so it seems the problems lies with something on my desktop.  I don't believe I've made any changes recently and my laptop should be conigured the same, only differernce is laptop is over WiFi and desktop is over wired ethernet connect (as is Apple TV) but that shouldn't matter. 
    Rather frustrating.

    >only differernce is laptop is over WiFi and desktop is over wired ethernet connect (as is Apple TV)
    >but that shouldn't matter.
    You would think that but there are a number of posts about pople getting MUCH better performance on WiFi that ethernet.  Which is completely  backwards, but it is happening for some people after the last two updates.  It is something I am seeing too.  Try having ATV use WiFi.

  • How can  we see the desktop through a java frame by using JNI?

    How to make a java frame transparent( so that we can see the desktop through it) by JNI? I have seen some code to take a snapshot of the desktop. But is there any code so that the desktop is fully or partially visible through a frame?

    Please take your time to write full words: "you" instead of "u", "your" instead of "ur". It makes your posts a lot easier to read, especially for those of us who don't have English as their native language.
    You can not really "modify" the behaviour of a method by using a proxy, but you can create a proxy, direct all but one method to the original method and provide a separate implementation for the target method.
    This way you'll have two objects with the same interface (not only in the Java sense, but all methods look the same), but differing behaviour: the original object and the proxy.
    Now if you pass around the proxy instead of the original object, then it'll look as if you changed the behaviour of your object.

  • Can't see whole Keynote window

    I'm using Keynote 3.0.2 on OS10.3.9
    On my dual G4 19" monitor I can see the whole window/slide (top ruler says 14") plus the thumbnail slides on the side. Either in the Work or Play mode. All works great.
    When I use it on my 15" iBook G4, I can only see 11.5" of the window/slide. Which means I'm always scrolling in both directions to align things... a real pain. I've looked at all the preferences and can't find anything that would give me the complete slide. When I click on PLAY, the whole slide takes up the iBook screen which is what it's supposed to do.
    Any ideas on this?
    Thanks all.

    Unbelievable!!! That was too easy.
    Many thanks.

  • Aperture Import Can't See Apple Desktop Folders

    For whatever reason, when importing pictures from my Desktop, Aperture can't see any folders on the Desktop.  I can see folders from other places within the Mactintosh HD.
    What is likely the reason and what do I need to change to let Aperture see the folder structure of the Desktop?
    Running the latest version of Aperture in Mountain Lion.

    So is it only the Desktop that Aperture is messing up or does it happen to  all the folders shown in the Import pane?
    The next step would be to create a new user, log in as that user and try Aperture from that account on a new library. This will help narrow down the problem. If it occurs in the new user account also then you have a system wide problem and reinstalling Aperture would be my next recommendation.
    If it doesn't happen in the news user account then the problem is in your user environment.
    One thing to try before all that would be to create a new empty library and run Aperture on that. I doubt the problem is library related but this would at least confirm that.

  • Webex sessions are joined but remote user can't see my desktop

    When invited to customer support sessions for EMC and Symantec, I go to their webex sites. They give me a join
    session url. I click on it. The session opens but the remote
    user cannot see my desktop. I can see them. I have virtual
    box windows xp and opensolaris 2009.06 running on this
    system. windows is running 3.6.9 firefox. opensolaris is running
    3.1b. On both of those virtual machines, the webex runs fine.
    My system is openindiana 148 with firefox 3.6.8

    I experienced the same issue - the problem appears to lie with the "content-disposition" field in the message headers. Apple Mail always seems to set this to "inline", regardless of what settings you change ("View as Icon", "Windows-friendly", "Attachments at end" etc.) and, for some reason, Outlook users are unable to save these attached images files.
    Finally, I discovered http://lokiware.info/Attachment-Tamer which is an add-on for Apple Mail and which can force the content-disposition field to "attachment" so the receiving Outlook client is able to save the attachments as normal. I have literally just been testing this myself and it seems to have done the trick.
    I am in no way affiliated with Lokiware and do not gain in any way from promotion of their product - I'm just a very happy user!

  • Can't see whole screen!

    Why is it that when I have my Dynex 32" HDTV set for wide-screen, I can't see (for example) the stats in a football game or the tops of the actors' heads on a regular program??  I've had it for about a month and I'm just watching the stupid TV with a square picture all the time to avoid this problem now.  I have Directv if you think that that matters (though I don't think it does, as I've seen the problem on other's tvs who have cable).  Pls help!  How do I fix it?

    What you see with the square picture tends to be normal at times for 4:3 images beign shown on a 16:9 screen. Your only options to fill a screen with the image is either a stretch option if your TV has it or the zoom feature that will cut off parts of the image. On some setups WIde acts the same as the stretch setting on other brands. Ultimatly with HDTV's your settings need to be on Normal and then feed it HD broadcasts where the channels are available. For those that are not available in HD you will either have to live with the black bars or sacrific parts of the images to fill the entire screen.

  • Can't see whole window in ITunes

    When I switch to the browser and go to Itunes store, can't scroll left and right; only up and down, and if I try to expand, can only expand up and down, no left and right.
    Sorry if already answered (just re: with proper post or link) but this is obnoxious.

    I found another solution as well since this was written. I don't like to use the full iTunes window feature because that's not how it was intended in the first place. I like seeing my library at the same time as I'm browsing on iTunes like "normal" so I figured out somehow my screen resolution changed. I didn't think this was the cause because everything looked so small! But after my eyes adjusted I realized that was the issue because now certain other webpages load quicker & fit within the screen better without the need to scroll. Adjust your resolution to a higher number & then you'll be able to enlarge your browser window giving the ability to see the "whole" iTunes screen, without having to use the "View full iTunes" option.

  • Can't see whole message in iMessage?

    How do you see the whole screen in iMessage after looking at it?

    I know how to swipe but the add text feature takes up 75 % of the screen. When I look at it in "edit" mode you can't select a photo to look at.

  • When i open Firefox i can still see my desktop picture, all the text on that opening page is on top of this picture

    the search bar is there but other than that, as iv said, all the text is on top of my desktop picture, i have had a message saying something like 'Firfox cound not down load updates due to another instance of Firefox running please close this down' but i have not opened another Firefox (this message has stopped now)
    Also i have tried to ask this question recently but when Firefox sent me an email to click on the link to publish it, i got a message stating 'Something is wrong, we could not activate your account please make sure you have clicked on the correct link in your email' (i bet it will happen this time as well, hope not) its ironic i got to use IE to send this.

    Well got this sorted, i managed to pick out the 'help' section on my desktop when i opened Firefox (not an easy task as you can see from my screen shoot) saw 'check for updates' mouse clicked all around this statement (as there were no buttons) and was advised to update to ver: 3.6.16 now everything is ok, still dont know what the problem was but hey its fixed, put a system restore point in just in case. thanks all.

  • How to make disk space when I can't see my desktop?

    I just got a low start up disk space message yesterday...turned on my MacBook pro today and all I get is a blue screen and error message that says "the iTunes application could not be opened.  An un known error occurred (13014)." the only thing I can get to is the apple so I can get to iPhoto but it wasn't letting me dump trash, pics, anything.  Please help!

    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 andWi-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.

  • Captions of photos in Yahoo cover the bottom part of pic. Makes it hard to read text and also can't see whole photo. Tried reset Firefox but that didn't work.

    When going through photo galleries on Yahoo (in news, omg, etc.) the caption is displayed on top of the bottom 'fifth' of the photo. (The caption should be below the entire photo.) The way the pations are overlayed makes it difficult to read the text of the caption and worse, it makes it almost impossible to see the lower fifth of the photo. I tried resetting Firefox but that didn't change anything. I can't find any yahoo settings or OS X display setting that changed this. I'm using Firefox 25 on a macbook air running OS X 10. Are there any firefox settings that would improve this? Thanks.

    You can also try to reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.
    *<b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Command+0 on Mac)
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages
    If you have made changes to Advanced font settings like increasing the minimum/default font size then try the default minimum setting "none" and the default font size 16 in case the current setting is causing problems.
    *Firefox > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
    Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.
    *Firefox > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"

  • Trying to fill in a reservation form-no scroll bar and can't see whole page

    Hi,
    I've had this problem before with Thai Airways website and am having it again with a hotel reservation site. When the form opens, there is no scroll bar on the right side of the window. I can't scroll down to the rest of the form (tab key doesn't work either, nor do the arrow keys) so am unable to complete the form.
    advice?
    thanks,
    Laura

    thanks for this advice.
    I wrote to the company at indo.net--there is no webmaster listed that I could see, and you can't send them normal email (it bounces back), only through their online form, which fortunately did not require scrolling.
    I'm planning a trip to Indonesia to visit small hotels, and this website offers the best discounts I've found. I guess at some point I will give up and find a different way to book, but these are not places that would be listed on Travelocity or Expedia. Same with Thai, they don't list their best fares on the big travel sites.
    thanks,
    Laura
