How do I expand the window on my computer

For some reason I can't make the screen on my mac bigger.  Does anyone know how to do this?

Hey bratty420,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are having trouble making the windows on your Mac larger. What happens when you drag one of the edges?:
OS X Yosemite: Window basics

Manually resize a window: Drag the window’s edges (top, bottom, and sides).
Expand a window: Double-click an app’s title bar to expand the app window to fill the space between the Dock and the menu bar. If the Dock is on the side of your screen, the window expands to fill the space below the menu bar and to the side of the Dock. You can also Option-click the green full-screen button in the top-left corner of an app window.
You can also switch to fullscreen using the green full-screen button in the top-left:
Switch to full screen
In many apps, including Calendar and Mail, you can expand the window to fill your entire screen.
Click the green full-screen button in the top-left corner of an app window:
Thanks,
Matt M.

  • How do I expand the source list window?

    How do I expand the source list in iphoto?  Only part of the files and forlders are showing.  I can drag the whole screen but not the source list window.

    you grab the right hand edge and drag it - the max opening is about 2" it looks like - you can make it smaller but only that large

    To a lesser extent, the same problems exists on all panels, whether they be in import window or elsewhere. Just look at the Folder panel in Library to see how much space is wasted in offsetting the subfolders. When this was pointed out to the relevant folk the reply came back that it was by design. Bad design, but we're pi...g into a head wind trying to get it changed.

  • How to get all the windows ?

    Hi all,
    I created a timer which detects inactivity in the first form launched by the forms runtime shortcut :
    when-new-form-instance :
    declare
    hWind NUMBER;
    CheckTimer TIMER;
    begin
    hWind := get_window_property(FORMS_MDI_WINDOW,WINDOW_HANDLE);
    Win_API_Session.Timeout_Start_Timer(hWind);
    CheckTimer := Create_Timer('T_INACTIVITY',10000);
    end;
    And in the when-timer-expired of the same form :
    if upper(get_application_property(TIMER_NAME)) = 'T_INACTIVITY' then
    if Win_API_Session.Timeout_get_inactive_time >= 8 then
         set_window_property(:system.event_window,title,'Deconnected');
    end if;
    end if;
    My problem is that when I click on a menu item in my menu, and I do nothing during 10 seconds then only the first form's window is titled 'Deconnected' but not the current form .
    I have copied the trigger when-timer-expired of the first form to the form I called but there is nothing.
    So how to make all the windows , whether it is the active window or it is hidden , to be titled 'Deconnected' when the timer expires ?
    Thank you very much indeed.

    execute a system process that will output this data and read/parse the output
    [notice a pattern?]

  • How can I change the window size of iTunes?  Used to be easy before installing Mavericks.

    How can I change the window size of iTunes on my iMac?  Used to be easy before installing Mavericks.

    If you want to make the itunes tab so you can see the dock
    you press the
    esc
    button if your in full screen mode
    if you want to get into full screen mode you press the arrows facing away from eachother in the top right corner
    there is another way to get to the normal tab if your in full screen
    make the curser go right up to the top of the screen and it will show the apple tab
    it will have two arrows facing together highlited in blue
    if u tap that it will take you to the normal tab

  • How can I expand the gutters in a document created with a Pages brochure template?

    How can  I expand the gutters/ space between panels on a document created with a Pages brochure template?

    You haven't said which.
    Each panel is usually just a locked object, unlock them and resize the boxes.

  • HOW DO YOU CHANGE THE WINDOW SIZE OF EBUSINESS SUITE ON STARTUP

    HOW DO YOU CHANGE THE WINDOW SIZE OF EBUSINESS SUITE ON STARTUP
    How do you change the window size for Ebusiness Suite after you log in. Currently it displays at 100% of the screen. I want to set it smaller, at some %

    I don't know if there is a way to set this. Some user's may prefer different sizes of window, depending on their job duties. For example, we have 170 Systems document management integrated with purchasing and payables so users shrink the Oracle window to fill about 60% of the screen while 170 uses the remaining 40% to display the scanned document.

  • My Webpage screen is always minimized. How can I enlarge the window?

    My Webpage window is smaller then my screen the window is at about 10 inches instead of the whole scren . How can I enlarge the window (webpage) ? it is so annoying to work with this screen.
    Any help would be greatly apperciated.
    Thank you

    The first place to start may be to check Activity Monitor. Look at the Disk Usage tab and the CPU tab and see if any one or two things seem to be dominating that activity. Especially see if it's some 3rd party app or background process.

    It would appear under the organizer tab that the photos are organised in the lowest folder in the folder structure within Windows Explorer.  How can I use the Windows Explorer structure to organise the photos within Elements.

    In a situation such as yours, I tend to consolidate items into folders so I have folders of nice workable numbers of images, somewhere between 20 and 200 images. Now, whatever, once you've imported, do your moving within LR, not the OS! I will select all in a folder and drag into a folder a level or two or three above, and then delete the newly empty subfolders. I hope this helps a bit!
    Once you've reached just new Imports of camera output, you'll be flying along.

  • How do I resize the window of pages in the new version? It takes up most of my desktop. I would like to make it tall and narrow, which was possible in the old pages, but I cannot seem to do it in the new version.

    I agree it is a very bad and wasteful design especially for users on small laptop screens.
    You can drag it to whatever shape you want from the bottom left corner.
    Click on the paintbrush to make the Format side panel disappear. However you will need to use that side panel for most formatting.

  • I have a 750GB HDD. Speaking visually (looking at Disk Utility) I had a 250GB Mac Journaled partition on the top, and a 500GB Mac Journaled partition on the bottom. The 250GB partition is now free space, now how do I expand the 500GB partition upwards?

    I have a 750GB HDD. Speaking visually (looking at Disk Utility) I had a 250GB Mac Journaled partition on the top, and a 500GB Mac Journaled partition on the bottom.
    The 250GB partition has been deleted and is now free space.
    Now how do I expand the 500GB partition "upwards" when the GUI only gives me a resizing handle on the bottom right corner in Disk Utility?
    I am comfortable with Terminal if there is a non-destructive CLI way to do this, since the Disk Utility GUI seems to have failed here...

    OK.
    You will need to check out a third-party utility.  The diskutil CLI utility cannot non-destructively change the start of a partition map, only the end (which is why you only get the draggable handle in the GUI at the bottom of each partition...same idea).
    To be honest, I'm not even sure how well third-party tools will do at this either.  Changing the start of a partition is non-trivial, be cause of the partition map files, b-trees and so on which have to be moved.  iPartition is well regarded, but also not free.
    And regardless of what tool you use, you will want a backup of your data (assuming that it's data you want to keep, or you wouldn't care about non-destructive repartitioning).  Which might mean that just getting a new HDD , copying the data and then repartitioning the current one and having an extra HDD because of it may be the simplest and safest solution anyway...

  • On my Mac desktop I must have changed a setting so that now when I move the mouse the open windows fly off to the sides and I can't see them. They come back when I move the mouse, but it is so annoying. How can I make the windows not disappear like that?

    Click on the Hot Corners..  button and look at the four definitions.  In the picture below, if you moved the cursor to the right top of the screen, it would slide all the applications off the screen as you describe and show the desktop.  Set it to "-" to deactivate.
