How do I get rid of a wide black strip each side of my screen

How to delete wide black strips each side of my screen

Check that you have the correct screen resolution set: System Preferences>Displays>Display tab and makes sure you have 'Best for display' selected. (This is the route used for Mavericks 10.9.1 - I'm guessing 10.7 will be similar).

  • How do I get rid of the annoying date that shows on my iPhoto screen?

    When I open iPhoto and scrool thru my photos a date overlays part of my screen. When I scroll with arrows the date reflects the roll that is in view. When I scroll with mouse wheel the date does not change at all. How can I get rid of that overlay date?

    The solution of unchecking "Show scrolling information" works, however, it did not work for me until I closed iPhoto and reopened it.

  • How do I get rid of the dotted line on right side of bounding box

    Ever since I upgraded to CS5, I seem to have a broken dotted line along the right side of the bounding box of the png logo that was created for my company.  It wasn't there before. I've gone back to my original back up of the logo and this broken line is in all the versions now.
    Whenever I use the artwork a single dash/dotted line is left on the far right, where the right vertical line of the bounding box would have been. You can see it in the image below on the right.  Its a faint white line but when printed on a banner its stark white.  The line falls just above the last "A" in Alberta.
    I can use Illustrator and Photoshop basics and but have trouble when I get into problems like this.
    Can anyone help me figure out why its there and how to get rid of it?
    I would appreciate any help!
    Thanks.

    Wade and Monica,
    Thanks for your help.
    Wade, it hit me when you asked "why is it a png" file and I realized that I was using the wrong file.  Sometimes its hard to see the forest for the trees!  Problem for banner artwork fixed and I have now used the correct logo file so no more dotted line.
    The dotted line only appears on the the png version of the logo.  There's no coloured background on the logo file.  She gave me the file as both an eps and a png file. I'm pretty sure she created the logo in Illustrator.  I've been using the png file for the website, which is what I thought it worked well for.  And the eps one for my print materials.
    I have no clue why I grabbed the png instead of the eps logo file I usually use, but thanks for pointing out the obvious since I wasted time trying to fix it and was getting very frustrated at what had suddenly gone "wrong".
    I still have that dotted line on the png file of the logo but I'll have to figure that out another day.
    Thanks again!

  • How do I get rid of the 3D icon that is appearing on my screen?

    There is another post about this but it isn't helpful.
    There is an icon with a cube in it that is appearing in the upper left side of my screen. I can't find any way to turn it off. Every time I try to draw a square using the shape tool, it's in 3D. I don't want it to be in 3D, and I never turned this tool on in the first place. It's blocking my ability to get my work done. Can anyone help me figure it out?
    Much appreciate any guidance.
    Thanks!

    Select the Perspective Grid Tool (Shift + P) and click on the X in the widget in the upper left. That will remove the Perspective Grid.

  • Premiere Pro CS3: How do I get rid of hundreds of short horizontal lines all over the screen?

         I have taken over a high school computer lab. We have Premiere Pro CS3. The Premiere Window gets peppered with many hundreds of horizontal dashes that interfere with readability. The dashes are uniformly about 16 pixels long and two or three pixels thick. They seem random in how many appear at any time. If I resize the window, they diminish and then come back. Occasionally they are gone completely. They never appear outside of the Premiere window. These dashed lines do not appear with other programs. We use Photoshop, Illustrator, and many other programs with no problem.See the attached image.
         The machines have Pentium(R) 4 2.80 ghz; 2 gigs ram; Nvidia graphics card Gforce 8400 GS.
    I have never run across this behavior before. I would appreciate any help. Thanks,
    Geo Monley

    Probably a bad video card - or a bad video driver.  First, try to reinstall the video driver.  If that doesn't work, replace the card.

  • How can I get rid of those annoying icons on the side of each Safari page for 'sharing' to Facebook, etc?

    When I open a page in Safari, there is a bar to the left side that obscures some of the text on the page. It contains icons for different ways of sharing a page, such as Facebook, tweet etc. I would like to make them go away. But they seem stuck there.

    I couldn't agree with you more!  I just reposted the question, hoping someone will know how to say "adios" to them!

  • How can I get rid of the fine, black, vertical "glitch lines" that print from my InDesign doc?

    In the three orange ellipses in this photo, you can see some of the vertical lines that have been driving me crazy. Any idea what causes them?
    I've tried separating adjacent lines onto different layers, merging layers, and everything I could think of. I haven't been able to find anything with google searches-- but maybe there's a name for them I don't know.
    Is there any way I can copy the whole page I've made in InDesign into Photoshop or Illustrator, then save the entire page with all its photos, lines, and type as some kind of an image file? If so, what file should I use that would keep it really sharp?  My boss, of course, wants even the tiniest print on the labels in the photos still readable.
    Thanks so much for helping me.  I'm at my wits' end, because if I print directly from InDesign I sometimes have glitch lines here and there throughout our manuals, but if I try saving any composites from PhotoShop; it blurs the type and lines.

    HURRAY!  Cheers, confetti, balloons, and a free party to all of you (I wish) !
    I took the "looks good" page in my InDesign Document, and:
    1. opened a new document in PS with a white background,
    2. copied the photo there, as the background layer,
    3. grouped and copied all the text and callout lines, on another layer, and
    4. copied the big company logo at the bottom, as another layer.  (Each became a Vector Smart Object as I copied it in.)
    I then saved it as a PSD file, then as a TIF file, and finally as a PDF file.
    When I printed out the page directly from my InDesign document-- linked first to the PSD, then relinked to the TIF, then relinked to the PDF-- all three pages printed out perfectly.
