Ever since ios 7 I havent been able to "move and scale" a photo for my wall paper or lock screen. Any suggestions?

I Would like to use a person photo for my lock screen and wall paper but the ios wont let me scale the photo to fit the screen. Thisnis an issue since the ios 7 upgrade. I was hoping it was fix in ios 8. NOT!  Any suggestions?

It must have changed before i bought a ipod touch as as long as ive had a ipod you could only use itunes for putting music etc on to one,
Hope this helps,
Quin

  • Since the new updates am unable to move and scale a photo when trying to apply it as wallpaper or to a contact.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

    SInce getting the new updates I am unable to move and scale a picture when I am trying to assign it as wallpaper or as a contact. Has anyone else had this problem and know how to fix it?

    It's a known issue. You do have more control if you go into the photos app, resize etc and then send it to your wallpaper. It wont' be perfect, but better.

  • Ever since the last iTunes update, my cloud movies and TV purchases all vanished from my iTunes library.

    Ever since the last iTunes update, my cloud movies and TV purchases all vanished from my iTunes library.  I go to Settings>Store>Show Cloud Purchases, but Show Cloud Purchases isn't there.  So, I go to the store, then click on purchases, and I download anything from my iTunes account.  Now, I go to Settings>Store>Show Cloud Purchases, and it is back.  I check the box, and my cloud purchases are again back in iTunes.
    OK, I wouldn't bother posting this, but a day or so later, it all happens again.  Cloud purchases gone, no option to fix in the Settings>Store menu until I go to the store and download something again. 
    How do I get iTunes for Windows to keep showing my cloud purchases without having to do this silly work-around every day or two?

    Audiobooks are not avaiable for redownload from iTunes, though I suspect you may find they are still on your computer even if not currently listed in your library. This may help...
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping.  Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
    In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    Would you mind telling me which anti-virus package you use? It may be that it is disturbing iTunes when it tries to write out the fresh database, as it does after almost any activity with your library. I'm noticing more of this type of problem than usual and trying to see if there is any pattern. It may help to prevent a repeat of the problem if you look at the advanced options for your AV package and see if you can find a way to exclude the iTunes folder from any real-time scanning process.

  • HT5595 I used to be able to reduce and scale a photo to use in my wallpaper in my iPhone 5 before IOS7.  Now I am not able to reduce the photo enough.  Anyone know what to do?

    I used to be able to reduce and scale a photo to use in my wallpaper in my iPhone 5 before IOS7.  The photo does not reduce as much now.  Any suggestions?

    Try turning off the parallax effect. This will shrink the images.

  • Updated my 4s to new IOS 5.1.1 software and ever since i have not been able to connect to wifi

    I updated my iphone 4s to the latest IOS software, which is 5.1.1. Immediately after doing so i could no longer connect to me wifi!
    I searched this issue online and found that many other people experienced the same problem due to the new software. I have no idea how to fix this problem. I am also worried that this problem will not be fixed until Apply releases a new software! Does anyone know when this will be? Also, if i take this issue directly to apple what is the likelihood that i will get a new phone without this issue? 

    Some wifi routers seem to really have a problem with iOS 5.1.1 (and some with Apple stuff in general).
    Try a soft reset (holding the home button and standby button simultaneously until the power off slider appears, then keep holding until the apple appears. Let go and let it reboot)
    If you are connecting but aren't getting any actual data or a ridiculously slow trickle of data, try switching your DNS to 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4
    If it was connecting to wifi before you updated your iOS but now isn't, it is most likely not a hardware failure.

  • Unable to move and scale photos for wallpaper on IPad mini after iOS 7 update.

    After update to iOS7 on my IPad mini, I am able to select my personal photos for the wallpaper, but I cannot move and scale them to fit.  The option is there but unresponsive.  I already had to remove the protective case to access the new control panel via up swipe which must begin below the screen next to the "home" button to initiate.  Now I can no longer personalize the wall paper with my own photos.  It's been a frustrating experience without any real perceptible improvements.

    What a nightmare! Had I known what was in store for me, I would never have updated my iPAD Mini to iOS7.
    The calendar with it's ultra-thin Helvetica is near impossible to see. To add insult to injury, not being able
    to move and size a wallpaper photo is just totally unacceptable. So annoying when software is thrown out
    there for the general public when it's obviously not ready. I tried the solution:
    Go to Settings > General > Assessibility > Reduce Motion "set to OFF" 
    Next, in Settings > Wallpapers & Brightness > Choose Wallpaper (pick the wallpaper) - you should now be able to "Move and Scale" the photo that you've chosen for your wallpaper. 
    After you've SET the wallpaper, you can go back to Parallax motion by turning Reduce Motion to "ON" (see step 1)
    And it just DOES NOT WORK. Plain and simple. I am so tired of Apple products that have bugs that we are all expected to work through and work out while paying anywhere from $500 to $2000 for a product. And of course you can't get online support in a quick, efficient manner. My big old $600 bite out the Apple is tasting mighty sour at the moment.

  • Cannot move and scale wallpaper on my mini iOS 7.1.2

    Yesterday I updated my 16GB iPad mini to iOS 7.1.2. Today I wanted to change the wallpaper but can't get the mini to "move and scale" the photo I chose. I have tried the suggested remedies posted for the last iOS update (this past fall): turn off "Reduce Motion," try again (no dice).  Edit the photo choosing the 5x7 aspect ration, save, try again (no dice). Go to photos and send the photo to wallpaper, try again (still no dice).
    Using two fingers I can move and scale the image but when I remove my fingers from the screen the image reverts to its original size and position.

    What happens when you try?
    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

  • When I click iTunes, it says i need Apple Application Support. How do I get it ? because I havent been able to get on Itunes since November. Anything will help .

    I havent been able to get on ITunes since November and I have to update my ipod to iOS. When iTunes is installing it says an error message that has nothing to do with Itunes. Then it starts the install over again then it says that my Apple Mobile Support isnt working and the choices are to abort, cancel, or close. Then after the install is done it says Apple Application Support isnt found. I un installed and re-installed plenty of times and still nothing is working. And my ipod still dont have the iOS update.

    Since it said to contact support, did you contact support?

    I recently updated my IOS using the beta found on an iTunes account link... Ever since then I've been unable to log into my iMessages and FaceTime account through my iTunes.  The only explanation it gives me is that my connection was lost.... What to do?

    It was downloaded through my iTunes account... So im sure it wasn't pirated. It's nothing more than a beta test to work out the bugs.  But do u have any suggestions as to how i can about redownloading the same iOS but now the 'bugs' should be all worked out....

  • Commercial playing in the background of computer ever since flash player has been downloaded

    Ever since I've downloaded the flash player there are commercials playing in the background.  And this starts as soon as I power up my computer.  I've tried every way to try and stop it, but havent been able to.

    That sounds more like you are infected with some malware.

  • Since the last IOS update, I still can't drag distribution lists from my contacts to my email.  Apple has been absolutely no help, in spite of contacting them 5 times on this subject.  Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

    No Mac can run any version of iOS, that is for iDevices only.
    Macs run OS X. What version of that do you have?
