Hdtv as monitor wont show full screen

i just recently bought a 32" hp lcd HDTV im using an hdmi to dvi conector... the display works but when i put it into the resolution i have to use 1280x720 some of my desktop screen gets cut off, you cant resize the screen through the display preferences and ive tried everything i can think of to try and get it to fit properly. does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?

Probably it can't be fixed. Many televisions force overscan over their inputs and only accept ATSC standard timings. Does the HP have a VGA input that it designates for making PC connections? You will be better off using that if it has such an input.

How do I play iTunes TV shows full screen on a connected display?

I have connected my HDTV via DVI to HDMI cable and I want to play the TV shows I've dowloaded FULL SCREEN ON THE TV. When I selected full screen, it defaults to playing the show full screen on my macbook and not my TV. I just want to change it so that full screen happens on the TV, not the macbook. HELP!

You can mirror the displays as you said or just drag the iTunes window to the second display (TV). Then it will play in full screen only on the TV, however your computer screen will go black. Either way you will have no access to your iTunes controls.
If you want to use your computer while it is playing full screen on the TV, then use QuickTime Pro (not in mirror mode) and choose Present Movie, then click on the display you want it on (TV).

Any suggestions? App downloads that can do this? Please let me know.

You can't do it. This has been an issue since Lion.

How to hook hdmi and show full screen

I have a new mini diisplay -hdmi cable. When I hook to my flat screen it shows the pictures using about 1/8 the TV screen. How do I get it to show full screen?

Hi woodchopper123,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You may need to adjust the display settings on your Mac, for example to match the resolution of your TV. See this article for more information:

No. Modern browsers are designed to protect users from that
kind of
manipulation. Typically, web users don't want their browsers
windows
manipulated.

Quicktime wont stay full screen when streaming?

I have latest version of Quicktime, on MacOSX 10.5.5, and whenever playing streaming video from the internet, it wont stay full screen. Whenever theres a pause, it quits full screen. Is there anyway to fix that?

Hi J. thanks for info yesterday although i think its actually a bug.
please see this string.
Looks to be a glitch in iTunes 10 - https://discussions.apple.com/message/13354081?messageID=13354081 <https://discussions.apple.com/message/13354081?messageID=13354081>

How do I get the artwork of the now playing track to show full screen?

I've got iTunes 11 on Windows 7.
I'd like to leave the PC running and just see the artwork of the current track - preferably full screen.
Something similar to visualizer ... but with only the artwork instead of the psychedelic streamers.
This is basically what my Apple TV does with out thinking, but how can I do this on a PC?
All ideas that don't suggest going to a new platform welcome
Thanks.
Keith

Thanks so much for resonding. But the numbers are showing up for even those people who have been saved as contacts

How do you get a contact's photo to show full-screen when they call?

A friend sees a large full-screen photo of some of his contacts when they call. I only see a small round circle with the name next to it? Is there a setting that makes this happen? Both of us on 5c iPhones with OS 8.

Thanks, RobinD.
I've just solved it through Apple, but want to share the answer for others. Even with ALL of the near-seamless syncing between my Mac, iPad and iPhone, the only way you get a full screen photo of the person calling your iPhone is if you've assigned a photo ON YOUR PHONE to that contact in your iPhone's contacts app. Doesn't matter that Mac's "contacts" already has a photo that you assigned there before. That photo will only show up as the small round mugshot next to the caller ID UNLESS you duplicate the action of assigning the contact with another photo that's in your phone's collection of shots to the contact's listing in iPhone's "Contacts" app.

I cannot get photos to show full screen in slideshow

I'm cannot get photos to show in full screen on slideshow while mirroring to my TV

I don't use netflix yet on mine but the slow startup I might be able to help. I just restarted mine and in maybe 5 seconds is restarted.
If you have a lot of programs running in the background that may be causing the slow start or shutdown. To close those running programs, 4 finger upto get to the running programs and to close them, tap one and hold for a second and flip upwards,, it will go off the top of the screen, closing it. Do this with all that you want closed, there will only be the main screen you can't close that will be left.
I also shut off location services, Bluetooth and under safari there a use data option which for some reason turned on but I could have clicked yes somewhere and those got turned on, but I turned them off since I don't need them on.
Then try a restart.

Safari wont go full screen

Like some of the other applications on my power book my screen for safari wont go max and cover my whole screen, i have to squint to read. Clicking on the green + thing wont maximize to the fullest.

L,
If your main problem is squinting to read, then you need to increase your font size in Safari and/or go up to the View menu and click on "make text bigger" a few times. You can als use the key combination of command and the plus sign to increase text size. This is a different issue than increasing the size of your browser window to full screen.
You can click and hold on the lower right hand corner of the browser window and drag it down and to the right as far as you want to fill the screen.
Hope this helps you avoid further eye strain.

Windows 8 + external touchscreen monitor + Adobe Reader full screen = disaster

when you touch a full screen Reader document, it goes out of full screen mode, no matter where you touch it... why?

Can you give more details about your environment? What kind of PC/device are you using, what kind of touchscreen monitor? And what do you mean by "goes out of full screen mode"? What behavior are you seeing exactly?

Large gray 'band' along bottom of monitor when in full screen mode

No doubt this is something that's very simple to resolve but...
For some reason I'm having a large gray empty 'band' (i.e. rectangular strip) appear along the bottom of my monitor's window in "Full Screen Mode With Menu Bar."
This has only started happening in the last couple of days and I don't recall it ever happening before (no matter what screen mode I've been in).
The only way I've been able to temporarily eliminate this is to replace my Photoshop preference files from a backup.
Again... probably some very simple setting... but even then... I don't see what I've been doing recently that I haven't done thousands of times before that would cause this.
The last time it occurred I had simply dragged a layer from one file to another file and BAM... the gray strip appeared again when I went to full screen.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Ron

Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated?
As with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems you might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed) by pressing command-alt-shift on starting the program or starting from a new user-account.
System Maintenance (repairing permissions, purging PRAM, running cron-scripts, cleaning caches, etc.) might also be beneficial, Onyx has been recommended for such tasks.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/onyx.html
Weeding out bad fonts never seems to be a bad idea, either. (Validate your fonts in Font Book and remove the bad ones.)
If 3rd party plug-ins are installed try disabling them to verify if one of those may be responsible for the problem.
Does turning off OpenGL in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

How to show full screen

Hi All,
I am trying to show a confirmation page in full screen after a form submission, like the result of the search portlet. Can anyone let me know how to do this? Thank you so much in advance!
Sincerely,
Vince

Thanks Steve!
Here is what I mean:
I have a portlet which is being diplayed on a portal page shared with other portlets. It is a feedback portlet. Users enters some message, then click the submit button to submit the feedback. A confirmation page which will be displayed in full screen, also generated by the feedback portlet is returned back to the browser. How can I tell the portal to display the confirmation page in full screen?
Thanks again,
Vince
