Fill screen

When I output airplay to my TV screen it does not fill the screen. Look a bit like a 4:3 showing on a wide screen? Also happens with utube?
Any ideas please

Welcome to the Apple Community Badger.
Mirroring won't fill the TV screen. The iPad has an aspect ratio of 4:3 and the iPhone 4S or prior an aspect ratio of 3:2, neither of these will fit exactly into a TV screen which as an aspect ratio of 16:9. The Apple TV will not zoom the mirrored image, because it may well cut off information which is situated at the top or bottom of the screen.
You may wish to try each of the settings in ‘Settings > Audio & Video > Adjust for AirPlay overscan’ for the best setting that suits you.

How to open images in Fill Screen mode from Camera Raw

I am using Photoshop CS4 for Windows. I created an action that executes Fit on Screen and set the Scripts Event Manager to execute that action on the Open Document event. This works when opening a document from Photoshop.
Here are my questions:
1) After opening a raw image from Bridge in Camera Raw, when I then open the image in Photoshop, it does not run the Open Document event action to Fit on Screen. What event do I need to set the action to execute on when opening an image from Camera Raw in Photoshop?
2) I added Fit on Screen to the action by selecting Insert Menu Item from the Actions menu and then selecting View-Fit on Screen. I cannot find Fill Screen on any pull-down menu (the button found on the Hand tool bar). How can I insert the Fill Screen item (which fills the screen a little more than Fit on Screen?
3) In the Scripts Events Manager, when you select Add an Event, it says Any scriptable event can be entered here. See the Scripting Reference for the full list of Photoshop event names.. On the following Adobe webpage, I found the Adobe Photoshop CS4 Scripting Guide but I did not find a list of Photoshop event names in that document. Where can I find the list of Photoshop event names?

Uncheck "Fill screen with one page at a time"

Is it possible to set a javascript to turn off the preference "Fill screen with one page at a time" when entering in Full Screen mode? So that way, it will override Acrobat or Reader application preferences when the PDF is open on users computers.

Everything that's supported is documented here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/11/Acrobat11_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.89.768.html
Unfortunately, what you want isn't supported.

Hello,
Does anyone know how to make a button in Edge that will make the animation go "full screen"?
And back to regular?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hey redesign!
I used your Fill Screen sample and it works on a Mac (Safari, Firefox and Chrome),
and on a PC (Chrome, not sure about FireFox yet) but doesn't seem to work on a PC-Internet Explorer.
Here's the project (it is unfinished, but you can see the Fill Screen button in the bottom left)

Any idea how to fix that for IE?
Any help is appreciated!
Also, I am an Illustrator/Photoshop/InDesign expert if you ever need help with anything

Resolution doesn't fill screen

Using thunderbolt to VGA adapter.
1600x1200 fills screen but is ugly.
Any help would be appreciated.

On Mavericks: Wallpapers with an aspect ratio of 16:9 or 16:10, if set to "center", will either format as "fill screen" or "fit to screen". Help?

If I select a custom wallpapers with an aspect ratio of 16:9 or 16:10, if set to "center", will either format as "fill screen" or "fit to screen".
With other aspect ratios, center works as supposed to.
Ideas?

In general this script should work:
mov GPRM0, SPRM14
and GPRM0, 3072
Set System Stream St(Subtitle Stream 1) (On) if GPRM 0 = 3072)
Set System Stream St(Subtitle Stream 2) (On) if GPRM 0 != 3072)
Jump Track 1
The value of 3072 is returned when 16:9 value is stored in SPRM14.
However some players may disregard this script as they might look for the presentation information in IFO files or in the video stream itself.
The better approach is to flag one subtitle stream as 16:9 and the other as 4:3 in DVD After Edit if you have an access to it.

No longer have options to Centre, fill screen, tile wallpapers

Hi there,
Seems I have lost the options to Centre, fill screen, tile etc any wallpapers. Have tried different sizes from 1024x768 and up, even the bundled wallpapers and nothing seems to bring the options back. Was wondering if anyone might have any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any help!

It reinstalled the Combo update and all was still the same.
I then created a new folder, added a few pic's of difference sizes and added this to the folders list in Desktop & Screen Saver, then clicked on a few of them all with no options.
I then removed all the non apple default folders and re added a single new one and the options came back! Added in all my @removed@ folders and the options remained! lol
Not sure what the issue here or what fixed it, but it's seems to be sorted!
Many thanks!

My desktop image keeps reverting to "stretch to fill screen."

My desktop image keeps reverting to "stretch to fill screen." I keep changing it to "fill screen" but next time I power up, it's back to "stretch to fill". How can I get my Macbook Pro to save the settings with Mavericks? I never had this issue before.

By default, Library folders are hidden in user accounts. To show them, open Terminal and past in the following:
sudo chflags nohidden /Library/ ~/Library/
Enter your password when prompted. Then you can navigate to the folder above and delete the suggested files. This worked for me. It was driving me crazy that the desktop kept reverting to the Mavericks wave, as spiffy as it is.

Fill screen with zoom for small photo sizes (as in slideshow)?

Front facing iPhone 4S camera sized photos are too small in iPhoto. Is it possible to set a default to fill screen with zoom for all photo sizes (as in slideshow)? Seems like the old iPhoto worked like this.

That's what I was afraid of! I wish it would still scale photos to fill the window also if they're smaller than the window size (not just 100%), like it used to in older versions of iPhoto. Especially irritating, since the problem photos are from an Apple product, the front facing camera of the iPhone4s. I already added my complaint to "feedback".
Thanks anyway.

Itunes window fills screen cannot resize

Somehow iTunes fills the whole screen and I am unable to resize it so that i can use other programs while surfing my music library. I went into preferences and unchecked the fill screen box and the window stays the same and the preferences when viewed again says that iTunes fill screen box is checked off. So now everytime that I want to view another program or internet feature I have to click the fourth button on the mouse in order to access other programs. Also when trying to update my iTouch, the downloaded software maxes out and then freezes returning an error statement stating the connection has timed out.

the other question i was going to post was regarding why word, excel, powerpoint for the mac automatically start up on a restart of the computer. i have tried to find the preferences that regulate this but the problem still persists. it gets annoying to see all of the windows open up plus previous documents that have been closed prior to shutdown and/or restart. what is the shortcut that i can take to stop these programs from starting up during this process

Connecting Macbook to Sony Bravia 32" - Won't fill screen and not clear

I just picked up a Mini-DVI > DVI and DVI > HDMI cord today from my local Apple Store and hooked up my Macbook to my new Sony Bravia 32" HDTV. Unfortunately, I having some problems setting it up. My issues are:
- I'm not sure how to make my TV the MAIN and ONLY display. I'd like to play games like WoW and watch movies from iTunes on it with the best possible quality and resolution.
- When connected, the image doesn't fill the whole TV perfectly. It either gets cut off or has black borders. Using the TV's zoom fuction just distorts the image further and possibly cuts off the edges.
- The quality is less than what I was hoping for. Text is hard to read and pixilated and images just don't look that great. I suspect this might be because it's not filling the whole screen but I am unsure.
I'd really appreciate detailed instructions on how to deal with the software side of this since my connection is fine.

Here is a link that should answer your second question about making the TV the sole display:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86286
As for the screen quality issue, does your TV's manual mention anything about making a computer connection? Does it say to use the VGA port or is HDMI supported for computer use? Also, do you know the TV's native resolution? If it is a 1366 x 768 native panel in the TV, then don't run it at 1920 x 1080 interlaced. That's too high. It will look best if run at it's natvie resolution.
As for the picture being either too big or too small, that is called overscan. Many newer Sony's have a setting called "Full" under the Wide Mode setting that gets rid of overscan.

With iOS 7 there is no option to play Words or scramble with friends in 1x mode...it fills screen, is there a way to fix?

Before iOS 7 you could select to play words or scramble in 1x (size of iPhone) or 2x (filled iPad screen). With the update, the games automatically open in full screen mode and I see no way to change it. I feel like I have to set the iPad on the other side of he room to play, the image is just too big! Any suggestions?

You want to just use Dropbox until the dust settles. To use it from iWork for iOS (assuming you have the Dropbox app installed on your device), open the document in Keynote (for example), tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), choose Open in Another App, choose Keynote as your format, then choose Open in Dropbox and you will get an option to save it to your Dropbox account. To open it from Dropbox in iWork for iOS, open the document in the Dropbox app, tap the share icon, tap Open in Keynote (for example). It's a bit clunky, but works.

Powerpoint to Keynote - presentation not filling screen

Hey folks,
i have just moved over to iWork and I am copying across some of my powerpoints. While opening them is not problem, I can't get them to fit the screen. They just fill up a small section in the middle. does any one have any ideas how I can make them full screen?
thanks

I have this same problem - I am trying to change over to keynote but want to keep using 5 years of worship powerpoint files! How do you get the presentation to fill the screen?

VHS to DV sequence settings to fill screen

Dear All,
I had a 3/4 inch master VHS tape transferred to Mini DV tape. When capturing now from the mini-dv tape through my camera and firewire, is it possible to choose a FCP setting that will fill the canvas so that there is no black on the sides of the image? I have tried the 4:3 settings in which the original VHS tape was made, but there is still black around the sides. When I enlarge the video to fill the canvas, I am cutting off some of the image because of the "safe viewing area." Any suggestions? Thanks
Barb

Dear All,
No, I don't think that the black will show when viewed on a tv, but it is quite obvious if the dvd is viewed on a computer screen througha dvd player, quicktime or another viewer. I tried the box, but this can also be a problem. If you don't make the box large enough, you get a thin, ugly line around the outside instead of it looking like a box because the safe viewing area cuts off half the box. I didn't think there were any settings that I hadn't tried, but thought I would ask. Thanks much.

Imported Photos Fill Screen At 30% In Motion Window ! Why ?

When I started writing this, it was a question, but 20 minutes later, after some tests, I think it may now be answered !
Last night I noticed this unusual situation.
I was trying to answer a forum question about feathered edges on reduced sized images. So I imported some still photos (2560x1920) and was reducing them in Motion to produce a split screen effect.
I opened the Motion tab and double clicked the photo in the timeline. To my surprise, the Scale slider immediately jumped to 30%.
When I returned the slider to 100% the photo was greatly magnified.
After puzzling over it I trashed the preferences to no avail.
This morning I tried the same with proper DV footage and of course it behaved normally ...... the image filled the screen when the slider was at 100% etc.
On reflection, I have come to the conclusion that the photos "normal" setting is 30% because they are just over 3 times the length of a normal DV frame (counting their pixels).
I have just tested with another different sized photo (1792x1200) and this comes out at 42% which figures as the picture is around 2.5 times larger than DV.
It looks as though I have answered my own question, though I am surprised that I never noticed it before.
Are my conclusions correct ?
Ian.

Yes. FCE autoscales the image when it's placed in the timeline. In versions prior to 4 it would only scale the image down. In v4 it will also scale up to fill the screen as best it can without distorting the aspect ratio.
