How do I fix desktop expanded beyond screen boundaries?

Since I upgraded to Mountain Lion, the desktop on my iMac has expanded beyond the boundary of the screen, so that I can't see the entire desktop at once. About two inches in each dimension is always off one side and the bottom or top.
I have the 20-inch (1680 x 1050) display. What can I do?
Thanks-
Robin

Found the answer on another post.

How do i fix my itouch. the screen is black but it still responds to touch

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

How do i fix a black print screen after downloading adobe reader?

I downloaded acrobat and reader late last week on my mac. I've noticed when I go to print a pdf file, the preview screen is black and when i actually print, it's black. How do i fix this please?

Quit Safari
Go to Mac HD/Library/Internet Plugins
Look for "AdobePDFViewer.plugin" and "AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin"
"Trash" them both. You may need to enter your admin password.
Empty the trash.
Relaunch Safari and open the PDF.
It should be OK.

IOS 6.1.3 iPhone 5 - screen resolution expands beyond screen limit?

Since upgrading to iOS 6.1.3 my iPhone 5 occasionally expands its screen beyond the actual screen limits of the device. This means part of the PIN login pad is missing including the Cancel button and lower number buttons, so the only way to get back into my locked phone is to turn it off to reset it! My wife has the same model, updated her phone last week, and has experienced the same issue.
On opening an App, it starts at the correct size then expands slightly on the RHS and base of the image, pushing the extremitiees past the screen boundary. A screen capture shows me that from a 'capture' perspective, the image isn't clipped!

Double Tap the screen with three fingers...
Then go to Settings > General > Accessibility and make sure Zoom is turned Off.

How do I fix my iPad2 touch screen?

Those don't look like classic signs of hardware issues.
Of greater concern, I notice that you have both Trend Micro and MacKeeper installed. It's generally a bad idea to have two different anti-virus programs installed at the same time, as any active scanning each does can conflict with the other.
MacKeeper is very bad software, made by unethical developers in Russia. You should uninstall it immediately. See:
http://applehelpwriter.com/2011/09/21/how-to-uninstall-mackeeper-malware/
As for Trend Micro, note that its detection of Mac malware is not particularly good. See:
http://www.thesafemac.com/mac-anti-virus-testing-01-2013/
I would recommend uninstalling it as well. You should find an uninstaller in the Trend Micro folder in your Applications folder. If uninstalling all your anti-virus software makes you nervous, see my Mac Malware Guide. If you decide to install some other anti-virus software, use one recommended by that guide.
Back to the line problem, if uninstalling those programs doesn't help, try some browser other than Chrome (like Safari). Do you see the same problem there, or is it only happening with Chrome?

How can i fix a white blank screen, with no pc activity?

I was wondering how I can fix this. I had connected my 30gb, 5th ge. ipod to the computer in my library at school, i had to leave so i stopped it and disconnected the cord, but the screen went blanks, its white but lit up. I tried re setting it and it makes this beeping sound, the light will go off, and a few seconds later the light will go on. When I connect it to my i tunes, it is not recognizable, and in "My Computer" it isn't either, but under the safely remove hardware icon it is there...I don't know what to do, I have the new i tunes, and i have tried everything, but i cant even restore it...help would be greatly appeciated

You could try letting your iPod's battery run down fully, then fully recharge it through a power source afterwards.
See if this article helps with your problem:

How can I fix my flashing white screen? Does it need repair?

I left my ipod touch to charge and when I went to get it I clicked on the home button and the screen was white. I googled about this white screen and I kept hearing about this "white screen of death", and saw alot of videos. Well how my iPod touch looks, well its not exactly white but rather is somewhat white as if its flashing white. I can vaguely see the ipod icons, and can play pandora or other apps but I can't see a clear screen because of the flashing white screen. I was wondering if maybe it has to do with internal things I need to get fixed like the lcd, or the digitizer. Is there anything I can do, or do I ttake it in to get it fixed? I tried clicking the home button and the power button at the same time but yes the apple icon appears but also the flashing white comes out. I dont know what to do.
Here are some pictures

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

How do i reposition desktops and full screen apps in the top of mission control?

Full screen apps have there own space and so do desktops, how do i re-order them?

Hi Anthony, hi ya guys!
Actually you can do a bit of a trick to re-arrange a fullscreen apps but there is one thing which you should know - the first screen can't be a fullscreen app screen.
So, here is what you can do.
Example: you have 3 fullscreen apps running on your OS: Pages, iPhoto, Mail.
So you go to Mission Control and you see on the top the first screen which is an empty screen or a screen with any opened apps (not a fullscreen apps) and also you see your fullscreen apps in a row of 3 screens.
So talking about these 3 screens (windows). Your Pages screen is the first fullscreen app window, iPhoto is the 2nd and Mail is the 3rd but you want to make it the 1st. So to do this you need to go to your second window (iPhoto), and press twice the Mail icon in your dock (one click and then another click).
It will make your 3rd screen with Mail to take a place of 1st screen and iPhoto will be moved to the end.
It all should be done while you are in a MC.
Good luck!
