Help! My screen is messed up...

I was fooling around with Mac's displays and Safari's appearance, now my computer screen is messed up. Like right now, this page is only half of the screen size. How do I fix this? Would you please explain in detail what should I choose in order to have the full screen?

Can you access a Finder window to get to your preferences folder in your user Library? If so, drag the preferences folder to the desktop and reboot.

  • Need help! Screen just messed up and i don't know ...

    So i was just sitting checking my my Phone, and decided to go for a ride on my bicycle while it was in my pocket. (There was nothing in my pocket at then time, except for an eraser i had.
    So I come home to see this!! Every time I press on the screen it gets more visible, so I doubt that it could have pushed it. I am able to get my fingernail behind the screen, and then it gets less visible, so I have no idea of what has happend!?!

    If it was in a trouser pocket whilst you were pedalling your bike, then chances are it has become bent slightly in the process and damaged the screen. Unlike walking or running, cycling involves your legs moving at much more extreme angles and items in trouser pockets, back or front, are subject to higher stresses.

  • The colors of my mac book screen are messed up

    This has been happening on and off for awhile now, but the colors of my screen are messed up. My screen currently looks like the picture attached, everything is coated in a weird dark blue color. The only way I can revert the colors back to normal is by applying small pressure to the screen.
    Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    Since the pressure to the screen trick works, that says the internal cable is getting frayed by the hinge.  That resistance on the hinge is there deliberately so you don't push it back too far.   If you do, you can damage the cable.    If the machine was opened after market, the person closing it back up may have not properly tightened the hinge joints, thus defeating the built-in resistance making you end up fraying the cables anyway.  Dropping or bumping against the hinge has the same effect if there is enough force exerted.   Hopefully none of the above has happened, in which case you may have a case for AppleCare to look at.
    Good luck!

  • HT201304 oh, my God. Was anything ever so poorly explained as the use of one id for multiple devices? who, where can anyone help sort out the mess that has developed?

    I have used my iphone 4s for over a year. Recently, I bought two ipod touch devices, one for each of my children. While attempting to set up their ipods, even with email advice from apple, we have become utterly confused as to whose apple id is on whose phone/ipod, why some apps automatically appear on two devices but not on the third (it varies). Most worryingly, in app purchases is DISABLED on my iphone but my children can still purchase in-app purchases without my knowledge and have run up bills (fortunately not huge bills). Why would anyone want to allow this???? If I have consciously disabled in app purchases under my apple id on my iphone, why would the default on another device be to allow in app purchases, when using my apple id?
    When setting up my children's apple ids, I wanted them to have their own apple id to avoid this kind of confusion but we got warnings that they were not allowed to have an apple id (presumably too young?) . But they have got their own ipods and should be able to purchase items using itunes cards so why cant they have an independent apple id? And what's the difference between the apple id and the itunes id?
    Is there anyone who can help clear up this mess?

    You have to diasable in app purchases on the device itself, NOT the id.
    If you want in app purchases disabled on the ipods, then you will have to do this on the ipods themselves.

    If you have restored, the computer is recognizing it, right?

  • The screen is messed up, how do I get it repaired?

    I have the 60BG Video IPod, and I believe it needs repairs... A small while back, I was raking leaves while listening to music on it. I just turned it off in my pocket, so I didn't notice anything. Sometime during the next day, when I was going to watch a video, I noticed the screen is messed up. It just looks like someone burned a hole in the display, so nothing comes in correctly. The sound still works, just need to find my way to my sounds blindly... What I think I need to do is get Apple, or whomever, to reaplce the screen, but how do I go about doing so? Where on this site do I go, and what procedures do I go through to do this? I really doubt it's something covered in the warrenty, and I don't really care, I just want to be able to sent it in to get repaired... I want it back to being able to show videos and pictures, instead of it being a 60GB IPod Shuffle...

    Two options. You can arrange online service from Apple here.
    Service request.
    Or you can try one of the many 3rd party repair sites such as http://www.ipodresq.com/

  • Attachig a search help to screen filed

    hi
    I want to attach sarch help to screen field .
    i am not able to make out where i have to attach . do i need to go in attributes of the field .
    plz provide ur inputs .
    Thanks ,
    abhishek .

    Hello Abhishek,
    1)In the PAI of the screen, add a module Process on value request.For example:
    PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
    MODULE USER_COMMAND_100.
    PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
    FIELD field_name MODULE value_request_for_field_name.
    *field_name is the field for which you require search help.
    In the Module value_request_for_field_name call this function 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'.
    2)The above procedure can be used if the field you have defined doesnt have an existing search help.If it already has search help and the field in the screen is taken from the dictionary,then in the attributes,u can check from from dictionary under the dictionary tab.
    3)A manual search help can also be created in the se11 transaction by clicking on the search help radio button and giving the table and field name for which search help is required.
    Regards,
    Beejal

  • I dropped something on my mac and now the screen is messed up. Can this be fixed?

    I am a performer and I had a mic on a mic stand in my room while I was practicing. I accidentally moved the wrong way and knocked my mic off of my stand onto my macbook pro and now the screen is messed. I don't really know a lot about computers so I was wondering, if I take my macbook to the apple store will they be able to fix it? Also, If they can fix it, any idea how much it would cost. Thanks!

    The repair will be a replacement.  It is an expensive repair well into the hundreds of dollars.
    Ciao.

  • Screen looks messed up

    Hey,
    I just bought an ipod touch 32 GB first generation from somebody off of ebay used. The screen is messed up. Blotches of light and dark areas spread across the screen. It almost looks like a cloud background behind everything. It's much more noticeable when the backlight is on and when I'm in an app that has a white background. It is almost invisible in the black home screen, but you could still see a little light spilling out at the top of the screen. Please see pictures below. Did anybody ever see something like this before? Is it going to cause problems? Can it be fixed? The unit works great otherwise; however, the water damage sticker in the headphone jack has been activated.

    How likely does it seem that it is water damage that messed up the screen? Do you think there is actually water in there?
    It wasn't listed as water damaged. I already contacted the ebay seller and he offered a 50% refund, but since it works fine, I said I would be happy with less and took $75 off of the original $190 I paid. Bad choice?
    I plan on reselling this because I wanted the 2nd generation (made a mistake when bidding). Do you think I could sell it for $115? I see ones on ebay go for $70-$80 that won't even turn on.
