Finder window resizing lower left corner is off the screen - Help!

Moving from a 17" PowerBook to the 13" MBA, my Finder windows are too big. If I could only change my default window size from the 17" to the 13" I could Command-A Command-C Command-V the contents of my larger old windows to the smaller new screen...or a global resize of the windows would be even better. Any suggestions?

That won't work when it is too big and off the screen.
You have to click OPTION and the GREEN button to be able to resize it when it's off the screen.

  • My E-Mail  is going off the screen, Help!

    I have a MacMini with Mail Version 2.1 (752/752.2)
    Very recently my e-mail both mine outgoing and my incoming mail have gone off the screen and I cannot read.
    Suggestions? Questions for me?
    Please help.

    Didn't you change the display?
    You can drag the mail window in a way you can reach
    the bottom right. Them you can recise.
    You can also click on the green (top left).
    The green at the top left was what cured my problem. So very basic and yet I never had paid any attention to it. Thanks so much. I do know about shrinking the window size, but the other problems was pushing me over the edge.
    Thanks again for your assistance!

  • Presentation starts 5" from the left side of screen and pushes intellegence off the screen to the right.

    The top of my screen is normal: the tool bar starts "File, Edit...
    The body of the screen while running Firefox-and during typing of this message- is full of lite. The actual data: starting from the top of this page- "Firefox Help... Ask a new..." etc. starts 5 1/4 inches from the left of the page.
    It's as if Firefox were presenting a wider page with the presentation moved to the right. This pushes the last, normal, 5" of the presentation off the screen.
    The rite end of the bar which starts out: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/
    is off the page, so the facilities at the rite end are lost.
    Any presentation, including Amazon.com and Youtube.com are similarly pushed off the rite side of the screen by 5".
    I have no access to the rite-most 5" of any internet presentation.
    The sliders that move the presentation up and down and left/ rite are off the screen.
    I have shrunk the display down so small, i can barely see the numbers: Control panel\ display \ settings \ 1920 by 1200. This gives the ILLUSION of centering the presentation, but still no sliders. At this setting, i can see the full width of Amazon. Youtube appears centered, with 4 1/4" on both left and rite, but no edge sliders.
    I dropped the 'setting' to 1440 x 900.
    Lost about 3" off the rite side of Amazon; barely on the rite edge of Youtube.
    None of my local programming has a problem: Excel, pictures, videos, Word, even Internet Explorer goes full page and centered.
    I un-installed Firefox and downloaded it fresh. It did NOT ask me to reboot my puter, so i didn't .
    I can supply pictures (screen shots) of the phenomenon on request.

    - Open Firefox -> got to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
    Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. You can enable the Add-ons later. Check if its working.

  • Window slides off the screen

    The window I have open often slides off the screen when I'm on the internet.

    Do you have a Magic Mouse or Trackpad? I so, open System Preferences, select the appropriate tab (Mouse or Trackpad) and select More Gestures. Turn off Swipe between pages.

  • I booted up this morning to find my voice over feature active. A black bar was at the lower left corner of my screen. When I began to click on the users in my login window it would not respond. All that I saw was the black bar saying authentication busy.

    I booted up this morning to find my voice over feature active. A black bar was at the lower left corner of my screen. When I began to click on the users in my login window it would not respond. All that I saw was the black bar saying authentication busy. I was not able to restart, I was not able to switch users, I was not able to shut down. I decided to manually shut down my Mac.  when it booted back up I was looking at the disk utility screen. When I clicked on repair or race it indicated that my hard drive had already been arranged. I was looking at completely formatted drive and I was having to either restore from Time Machine or reinstall lion. I had a back up but why did this happen?

    A possible workaround could be to have the horizontal scroll bar visible all the time.
    <pre><nowiki>body { overflow-x: scroll !important; }</nowiki></pre>

  • In the iDVD window, there is a box in the lower left corner.  When I scroll over it, I get the message to hide or show the intro movie.  Checking or unchecking the box seems to do nothing.  Can anyone explain?

    Working with iDVD on a project, there is a box in the lower left corner and sometimes another in the lower right corner.  Scrolling over the one in the lower left corner, I get a message indicating that this box hides or shows the intro movie.  I have checked and unchecked the box, but see nothing different in the project.  Nor can I figure out what is meant by "intro movie."  Can anyone explain?

    Go to iDVD Help and type in Intro Movie, and you will get the full version of this:
    Many iDVD themes have “motion menus” that include animations or video that loop, or play repeatedly, until the viewer clicks a menu button. Themes with motion menus have a motion icon in the lower-right corner.
    In addition to background video, iDVD motion menus may also feature an intro, or short animation, that plays once before the part that loops. Other motion menus also include an “outro” that plays after the viewer clicks a button, serving as a transition between the menu and the selected content.
    An example of an iDVD 6.0 theme with an intro and an outro is Reflection White Main. In this theme, the first drop zones appear in the intro, and the buttons and title appear just before the looping part of the background video. In the outro, everything flies offscreen after the viewer clicks a button.
    iDVD provides tools for viewing these motion menus without going into preview mode, which is especially helpful when you are filling drop zones, and for turning the intro or outro off.
    Here are ways to view and edit the background movie:
    ◼ 
    Drag the diamond-shaped motion playhead along the scrubber bar (shown below), to view the background movie, stopping wherever you like.
    (If you don’t see the motion playhead in iDVD, choose View > Show Motion Playhead.)
    ◼ 
    Deselect the checkboxes at the left and right end of the scrubber bar if you don’t want to use the intro or outro, respectively, in your DVD menu.
    The scrubber bar shows the intro and outro as shaded areas at the beginning and end.
    You can also control the intro and outro from the Menu Info window. With your pointer over the menu (and with no buttons or text objects selected), press Command-I to open that window. Select or deselect the Intro and Outro checkboxes in the Background section of the window.
    NOTE: If you drag your own movie to a motion menu background, the outro is automatically removed. To customize the background and keep the outro, use a still image in the menu background instead of a movie.

  • All my hard drives (internal and external) have a small lock in the lower left corner of the icon and I don't have permissions to access. Permissions are set to 'Custom' in the get info window and I can't change them.

    All my hard drives (internal and external) have a small lock in the lower left corner of the icon and I don't have permissions to access. I have 3 user accounts set up and I cannot access any of them.   Permissions are set to 'Custom' in the get info window and I can't change them. Originally I had Snow Leopard installed on one hard drive and 10.5.8 installed on another.   I started to have some problems accessing data between them and so I tried changing the permissions on ONE hard drive partition.   The next thing I know, all my drives are locked (except the ones with the systems on them), the small lock appeared in the lower left corner of the drive icons and I don't have permissions to access any of them.   In the get info window, permissions are set to 'Custom' and I can't change them.

    There is suddenly a lock icon on my external backup drive!

    Sometimes this is caused by a screen protector on the phone.  I have no idea how it happens, but I have read of people having the same problem and they got it to go away by removing or replacing the screen proctector.

  • Firefox won't load pages and says "Stopped" in the lower left corner of the screen.

    From last night "Latest FF and XP Pro. 2.4 Ghz Celeron, 1 gig RAM. FF will work for a while, then it will stop loading pages and say "Stopped" in the lower left corner of screen. Sometimes I can refresh and the page will load, but 95 out of 100 times I can keep refreshing and it will say "Stopped". Or, the page will partially load and then quit and say "Stopped". I have disabled IPv6 and DNS Prefetching and it is still doing it. IE is doing about the same thing. VERY frustrated. My last PC started doing this and I finally upgraded to a newer one and it was fine for a couple months, but started doing the same recently. Arghhh ... Thanks!"
    Thanks to you who replied last night/this morning. I hit the "solved" button apparently but this from last night-
    https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1/702910#threadId703008
    is not solved. I tried FF 3.5.9 and still have the same problem.
    Thanks again,
    Dave
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == a while back

    You, me and many others (based on threads throughout the net) have this same problem. I've had some peeps at Mozilla take a look, they couldn't find a problem or a solution.
    Here's what I found does work - The problem popped up on me when I upgraded to Firefox 3.63. Uninstall FF 3.63, and install 3.59. You can still download it until end of June or July I think.
    My problems went away with 3.59. Seems to only affect Window users as Mac Firefox 3.63 works fine.
    Also found some threads pointing to ZoneAlarm Firewall, timeout handlers and some upload tools. I don't have ZoneAlarm so I don't think that was the cause, just another victim.
    I wish Mozilla would pull the plug on 3.63, re-package 3.59 as 3.64 and go back to the drawing board until they find out whats wrong.

  • My Screen Is Blurry, Pixilated and Won't Respond To Touch In Lower Left Corner

    I noticed it was sitting in some serious condensation from my icy drink earlier but it was the backside. First the lower left corner started acting strangely and wouldn't respond to touch. The screen looks blurry like I'm seeing double and then it gets slightly pixilated. It hasn't been updated yet to iOS 7.1.2 though. Wondering if I should power down and put it in the rice for 24 hours. I pulled the sim card out and checked the white to see if it turned red. It didn't, but my last phone was water damaged and it also stayed white.

    Has anyone experienced anything like this from just condensation? I'm rice-bagging it for 48 hours just in case. I couldn't find anything like this online.

  • Programs will not open. The button in the lower left corner of the screen continuously blinks.

    Whenever I open Firefox on my other laptop I cannot get into any programs. The icon in the lower left corner of the screen that lets you know when a program has completed loading just blinks constantly.

    Got the exact same problem aswell, finally fed up with it now as i just started up firefox and 14 new windows opened because of this bug, luckily my computer can handle them but someone with a slower processor it would have been a nightmare, needs fixing ASAP.
    Reverting back to 3.6.3 until this issue is solved. (link for anyone wanting to do the same below)

  • Warning/Caution symbol in lower left corner!! Help!!!

    Ok, I just started using this software recently for a school project. After shooting the video I overcame the obstacles of importing the video. All of my videos are saved in DV format. After uploading the video and doing a lot of work arranging clips and adding transitions my videos stopped working. My movie in the project window no longer shows any video, it is black during the time of playing. The audio still works fine, but a movie without video might as well just be a podcast. I noticed that as soon as the video stopped working, little yellow triangles with exclamation marks appeared in the lower left corner of all of my clips. I have not messed around with anything because I do not want to make the problem worse. I have restarted iMovie and checked for updates. If anyone has any information on this subject, please share it with me. Thanks!

  • Can't close search window in bottom left corner

    I am clicking everywhere trying to minimize this window that popped up in the bottom left corner. It appears to be a search window of some sorts and makes the area to work on my clip even smaller. I can't get rid of it to save my life! Anyone have any ideas?

  • X in lower left corner of aperture 3.2.3 image preview

    I accidentally did something while editing an image that I'm not aware of that caused an image to disappear from view in Aperture 3.2.3. I can't find it, but it is apparently still in my library. It's preview is in the "in the last month" folder. And when I drag it from there to the folder I originally put it in, it's not visible. I can export it to my desktop from the "in the last month" folder, but when I import it back into Aperture it's not visible in the folder I import it to. It's not in the trash. It has an "x" in the lower left corner, but I can't find any reference to what the "x" means in the manual. What do I have to do to see my image?
    Thank you.
    Peter

    Peter,
    you have probably rejected an image. This can happen, if you accidentally enter a "9", then the image will be rated "Rejected". YOu can browse rejected photos in the "Rejected" smart album. To undo the "Reject", select the photo and increase the rating by entering a "0" or a higher rating.
    Rejected photos will be hidden, unless you set the filters to "Showing all".
    -- Léonie
    The image in the middle has the rating "Rejected".
