How can I get my photo to display correctly as background

I decided to change my background setting today, only to find that it doesn't display correctly anymore.
Before the update, the photo would automatically 'fit in the window' - now it gives you the option to size and scale, but this doesn't actually work, so the photo is HUGE..  I can move it side to side, but can't reduce the zoom so it all fits on the screen.
Is there a way around this - or is it another glitch?
Thanks in advance

There's a work around, although it's not perfect. Go to your photos app, choose the image you want for wallpaper. Tap on the little box with the arrow poking out of it, send to wallpaper. then you can scale and move a bit to get your image closer to what you want.
It's still not perfect. Basically it scales your image so that it fits the whole screen, which means if your image is wider than your screen, you can just slide it left or right, but you do have more control than if you go through the settings.

  • Soft shadows around photos on a particular website appear as heavy black frames in Firefox 5.0 although they look like proper shadows in Firefox 4.0 and in other browsers. How can I get the shadows to display correctly??

    The shadow effect on two sides of the photos on this site looked fine in Firefox 4.0. When I upgraded to 5.0, the heavy black "frames" appeared in place of the shadows. No change had been made to the website between the time I looked at it in 4.0 and 5.0 (I know because I know the builder of the site). Indeed, it was only about an hour between my two viewings. So I figure the odd appearance has to have something to do with 5.0. But what? Is this fixable? Or do I need to wait for 5.1?

    That is either a bug in Firefox 5 or the script has a problem with Firefox 5.<br />
    It works in all other Firefox versions like Firefox 3 and 4 and 6 (Aurora) and 7 (Nightly).

    If you don't have your iPhone anymore, you can't access the data on it remotely.
    However, if you are syncing to iCloud, you can set up iCloud syncing on your computer and at least get your contact info.
    iCloud: Set up iCloud on your devices
    You might also think about putting your device in lost mode or erasing it:
    What steps should I take if I misplace my device?
    If you ever misplace your device—whether it’s just lost or you think it may have been stolen—you should put it into Lost Mode immediately using Find My iPhone.
    Lost Mode locks your screen with a four-digit passcode and lets you display a custom message with your phone number to help you get it back. You can also remotely erase your device if needed, and your custom message will continue to display even after the device is erased.
    While Activation Lock works in the background to make it more difficult for someone to use or sell your missing device, Lost Mode clearly indicates to anyone who finds your device that it still belongs to you and can’t be reactivated without your password.
    To put a device into Lost Mode, sign in to icloud.com/find from a Mac or PC or use the Find My iPhone iOS app.
    For more information, read what to do if your device is lost or stolen.

  • How can I get pubished parameters to display the available settings

    how can I get pubished parameters to display the available settings?

    according to the online help, I'm supposed to click on Title to get to the titles settings as follows
    "Adjust a title’s settings
    You can modify a title’s default settings in the Title inspector.
    Select a title in the Timeline.
    Choose Window > Show Inspector (or press Command-4), and click the Title button at the top of the pane that appears.
    Adjust the available settings as needed.
    Note:  You can also keyframe many of the settings in both the Title and Text inspectors."
    Gsoing to the Text inspector, there does not seem to be anything in the menu where I can change the color of the text.   Based on the photo that appears with the above instructions --it appears the ability to change ink color is under the Published Parameters that is the menu I cannot get to 'drop'

  • How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system.  Not enough memory to upgrade.

    How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system.  Not enough memory to upgrade.

    You can't.  iCloud is not for general file backup from a Mac. It's for backup up and syncing data between mobile devices and and Macs and  The following is from this Apple document: iCloud: Backup and restore overview.
    iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your (mobile) device using iOS 5 or later. Once you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch .....
    What is backed up
    You get unlimited free storage for:
    Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
    Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    You get 5 GB of free iCloud storage for:
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
    Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
    Ringtones
    Visual Voicemails
    But not from a Mac.  If you want to backup your photos and other important files I suggest you get an external hard drive and use  it with Time Machine.

  • How can I get all photos from the camera roll onto the photo stream so they will share between iphone and ipad?

    How can I get all photos from the camera roll, and all new pictures taken, to get on the photostream so they can share between iphone and ipad?

    When turning PhotoStream on with photos available in the Camera Roll, only photos captured by the iPhone or saved on the iPhone are placed in the PhotoStream.
    For all photos that were in the Camera Roll prior to turning PhotoStream on, import the photos with your computer and add the photos to your PhotoStream on your computer.

    It sounds like you essentially have a new computer and unless you restored from a backup your iTunes library would be empty.  You can transfer your iTunes purchases from your iPod to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    SInce you changed syncing computers. after you move the stuff you need to restore the iPod to factory defaults and sync the stuff back to your iPod.  If you had the iPod backup file you could restore from backup.
    If you have non-iTunes pruchases you can copy them to your computer by using one of the third-party programs discussed in this previous discussion:

  • I am adding new photos to my PC windows 7 desktop but they are not syncing to my ipad.  how can i get these photos to sync

    I am adding new photos to  my PC windows 7 desktop but they are not syncing to my ipad when I sync the Ipad.  How can I get these photos into my Ipad?

    Skydiver.
    you and I know that your answer works because that is how I sync my ipad.  I don't have a mac, just a PC with itunes. Now this guy might not even have itunes and is using Windows Media Player or something like that.
    Or maybe he just do not want his problem fixed.  I read these forums and too many of the questions are just way beyond basic computer knowledge, but it seems to happen that they can never resolve a very simple problem.  It makes me wonder if people just post bogus stuff.
    I would like to see registration to the forums attached to the product serial number of the forum you are posting to.  I bet you that the posts would drop dramatically.

  • How can I get my photos back from icloud

    How can I get my photos back from my iPhone 4 on the icloud I got my music and my contacts but for some reason I can not get my photos. 

    Hi sadie,
    When you did the backup, were the 1500 pictures all on your camera roll? Or were they on other Albums?
    iCloud is not a storage device for your photos. You should be importing them to a computer or uploading them to a cloud storage facility like DropBox or Flickr.
    Each time you do a backup of to iCloud, it creates a backup of what is on your phone at that moment in time. So, if you had some photos on one backup, but not the other, you would only be able to "recover" the photos from one of those backups. Photos in iCloud are not aggregative.
    Also, the iCloud backup of photos only includes those photos or videos in the Camera Roll. Photos in any other album are not backed up:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12519?viewlocale=en_US
    If you had PhotoStream turned on, then the last month's-worth of PhotoStream, or the last 1000 PhotoStream photos would also still be viewable.
    Can you tell us where those 1500 photos were located when you did your backup?
    Sorry that you lost your photos. Take a look at DropBox in the App Store, or check out Flickr. If you aren't importing your photos on a regular basis to a computer, then these would be your best bet to protect your photos going forward.
