HT1933 Why can't I move and scale pictures for the back ground

I try to make my personal pics the screen saver and it doesn't let me move and scale it so it fits the screen.... The old system worked but this one doesn't. It gives me the option but I can't do anything.

You will need to either turn motion off or use a higher resolutio image - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5595 :
When the parallax effect is on, you may notice the following:
Wallpaper, icons, and alerts shift slightly as you move your phone.
When you set a wallpaper in Settings > Wallpapers & Brightness, the photo or image will be slightly zoomed and can't be scaled to fit the screen.
If you zoom in, you will need to rescale your wallpaper to fit to the screen. You can't rescale certain photo formats, including landscape or square images.

  • Since downloading iOS 7 can't move and scale pics for wallpaper?

    Any tips on how to move and scale pics for wallpaper?  Cannot be done since downloading iOS 7

    I have tried a lot of the suggesstions I've found here and on the web -- the "Accessibility >> Reduce Motion" on/off stuff, editing the original image in Photoshop and e-mailing it to myself (downsized it, changed the overall canvas size of the image, etc., etc.), and I've found that the best fix might just be a combination of some of them, along with some tweaking of the photo...
    Ensure that "Reduce Motion" is ON (Settings > General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion, set the slider to "on" (green)).
    When taking a new photo, take it with your iPhone/iPad, oriented vertically ("Portrait") -- This makes the whole process quite a bit easier.
    Access the photo in the "Camera" app.
    Tap Edit.
    Use the Crop tool to remove excess content from left and right (basically, you want a vertical rectangle, with your subject matter centered in it).
    Tap Crop.  The image will be slightly enlarged to fit your screen.
    Tap Save.
    Tap the "square with a vertical arrow" button (bottom left) -- Sorry don't know what this button is called.
    Scroll through the options at the bottom of the screen and select "Use as Wallpaper".
    Tap Set, then pick which screen(s) should use the photo.  Bingo... new, properly-scaled wallpaper.
    This is a band-aid at best, but it works.  I've also Edited existing photos (taken in Landscape mode (wide)), and if I could crop the desired subject matter to fit in a tall rectangle, it more-or-less worked. 
    Side note: With "Reduce Motion" set to off, when I applied a photo as a wallpaper, I noticed that, even though I'd cropped it as a vertical rectangle, the image was still force-zoomed, and content was cropped out. Turn it back on, and the image was as I'd cropped it.
    Hope this helps!

  • How do I move and scale pictures on iPad mini

    How do I move and scale pictures on I pad mini I can move but not scale

    You can go into the settings, accessibility and turn parallax motion off. THis is what makes it look 3D, like your icons are floating on your screen. It helps a bit because to have that 3D, your wallpaper needs to have an overlap off the edge of the screen.
    ALso, if you go into the photos app, find your photo, send it to be wallpaper (the box with the arrow poking out of it) you will have a bit more control. The higher resolution your image is the more you will have.
    Some have also reported some progress rotating their image. For example if your picture is landscape (wider than it is tall), when you go into the photos app, hold your iPad in portrait mode, taller than it is wide. Do the send to that way and see if it helps with you having more scaling room

    Unfortunately that seems to be a known bug. And something we have to wait for APple to fix. THere are other threads on the same topic and some people have work arounds so you might want to poke around in the 'more like this' on the right.

    I have a net gear wireless router and a APE working great inside the house, but the wireless signal is weak in the backyard, can I get a net gear extender for the back yard and it will boost our wo
    Ireless signal and also send my music to the airport express? Or does the airport express work as a stand alone hub?

    Trust me when I say this coming from 20 years of experience.
    Get a powered external drive, format it 1 Partition Option: GUID and OS X Extended Journed as the format in Disk Utility.
    Download and install Carbon Copy Cloner, clone internal drive to external drive.
    Set a schedule to remind you to do it at least once a week, keep it near your charger.
    When you plug your charger in, do plug the clone and power the machine up, set the display to sleep only,
    CCC will do the rest.
    If you want to boot from it, hold the option/alt and select it Startup Manager.
    I've seen many TimeMachine and TimeCapsule nightmares and so far haven't seen a problem from anyone using a bootable clone.
    It's simple, it's easy, it's more reliable and more powerful than what Apple does and it only takes plugging in a extra cable.
    Make as many clones as you want, keep them time seperated, off site etc. etc.
    Cables don't have network issues, clones can be verified in seconds merely by booting from them.
    Clones protect your productivity, your up in seconds on a clone despite even the hard drive dying.
    Software problem? No sweat, boot of the clone and reverse clone your problems away.
    If you want to fuss and muss with half implemented TimeMachine and TimeCapsule network headaches then prepare to suffer.
    I don't like to suffer, I bought a Mac not to suffer, but it appears you do with TimeMachine and TimeCapsule.

  • Unable to move and scale photos for wallpaper on IPad mini after iOS 7 update.

    After update to iOS7 on my IPad mini, I am able to select my personal photos for the wallpaper, but I cannot move and scale them to fit.  The option is there but unresponsive.  I already had to remove the protective case to access the new control panel via up swipe which must begin below the screen next to the "home" button to initiate.  Now I can no longer personalize the wall paper with my own photos.  It's been a frustrating experience without any real perceptible improvements.

    What a nightmare! Had I known what was in store for me, I would never have updated my iPAD Mini to iOS7.
    The calendar with it's ultra-thin Helvetica is near impossible to see. To add insult to injury, not being able
    to move and size a wallpaper photo is just totally unacceptable. So annoying when software is thrown out
    there for the general public when it's obviously not ready. I tried the solution:
    Go to Settings > General > Assessibility > Reduce Motion "set to OFF" 
    Next, in Settings > Wallpapers & Brightness > Choose Wallpaper (pick the wallpaper) - you should now be able to "Move and Scale" the photo that you've chosen for your wallpaper. 
    After you've SET the wallpaper, you can go back to Parallax motion by turning Reduce Motion to "ON" (see step 1)
    And it just DOES NOT WORK. Plain and simple. I am so tired of Apple products that have bugs that we are all expected to work through and work out while paying anywhere from $500 to $2000 for a product. And of course you can't get online support in a quick, efficient manner. My big old $600 bite out the Apple is tasting mighty sour at the moment.

  • Why can i rotate screen and have sound at the same time.   Why is only option one or the other

    why cant i rotate and have sound at the sametime?  why does it have to be one or the other.   

    Do you really think it's not possible to do both and set them up the way that you want them to be set up? You just don't understand how the process works.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center if you are running iOS 7. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • Why can't I send and receive pictures?

    I have the 3G and it is my understanding that the update to allow a fix for picture MMS messages was done a long time ago. I did the update (along with my wife) and for some reason, I have never been able to send or recieve pictures? On the other hand, my wife does it just fine.
    I do get the option when clicking on pictures to send through MMS and I also have the camera icon when sending a text. So I can upload picture to MMS but I always get the dreaded red exclamation point when trying to send a picture. And I still receive the dreaded website and code to view pictures sent to me.
    I have no idea why I can do this and my wife can? Anyone have any ideas?

    True story. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3573
    Note: If your iPhone meets the system requirements, your wireless account may still need to be provisioned to send and receive MMS messages. Many carriers will automatically provision your wireless account for MMS when you first send an MMS message. Other carriers will provision customers' wireless accounts for MMS automatically in large groups at different times. If necessary, check with your carrier to confirm you are provisioned to send or receive MMS messages.

    I wonder if for some reason your's didn't get provisioned when you sent your first message. They may need to do it manually.
