I can't see the borders of my display on Toshiba TV

I think this might be a common problem, but I'm having the devil of a time....
Have googled for answers and even read up concerning my problem here, even tried downloading DisplayConfigX 1.09 as recommended in one of the posts I read. But I am not fixing the problem:
The borders of my display seem cut off -- I can't see my dock or any of the commands at the top of the screen.
I'm using my Theaterwide HD Toshiba TV as monitor for my mac mini -- purchased the skinny little new version less than a year ago but am using the old Tiger OS from a '04 mac mini that's since no longer with us. Hooked up via hdmi cables, if that matters.
Other components are using this same TV so I'd prefer not to mess with the resolution/settings on that but would rather deal with this if possible thru computer's settings or software or something.
Would appreciate any suggestions!
Also, might it be easier to hook up a second monitor for controlling the screen? I have one that I was using for the computer before I hooked it to my tv... Do I need some kinda adapter or something...?
Thanks for help!

Carolyn,
I think your TV might be a rear projection model, correct? Those types of TVs inherently have overscan built into them as part of their optical design. The TV should have some picture SIZE settings that affect how much overscan is present, and some settings may even get rid of it altogether with the result there might be a small black border instead.
Don't worry about changing TV settings. Settings like this are tied to a specific input. So if you make these types of changes while the TV is passing the mini's video through to the screen, those changes will only apply to the mini. When you switch to other inputs, like a cable box, etc., the old settings should still be intact and unchanged.

  • How to see the borders of a "display area" in GridBagLayout

    I would like to see the display area of a JPanel .
    I use this technique:
    panel.setBorder(new TitledBorder(new LineBorder(Color.blue, 2), "DisplayArea?"));
    //Is this correct?
    If not, how can I see the borders of a display area (as opposed to the borders of a JPanel ) of a JPanel ?
    note: I am new to Swing, so I am using the word "display area" in the context of what I read in the API for java.awt.GridBagLayout .
    Maybe there is no real concept of a "display area"?
    I am trying to get the JPanel to expand to the borders of its "display area", but I can't see what is going on. Either I am not expanding the JPanel, or the "display area" is smaller than I would think.
    Thanks.

    I think your basic problem lies in this "note: I am new to Swing,",
    and quite probably do not have a sufficient understanding of layoutManagers,
    in particular the one associated with JFrame.
    your problem reads as though you have a JPanel that you have sized to (e.g.) 400,200
    and added this to a JFrame, sized at (e.g.) 600,400, and you expect this to give you a
    100 blank area around the panel.
    the nature of a JFrame's default layoutManager is that if you add something to it,
    via frame.add(panel), it will be added to the default area of the frame (CENTER), and
    it will take all the available space. So, whether you specify 400,200 or 50,50 etc,
    the panel will take up all of the available space in the contentPane of the 600,400 frame.

  • How can I see the whole screen on my original iPad, without having to scroll up or down.  Something changed and I don't know how to get it back.  I don't have a computer to hook it up to.  Thx!

    My front screen seems to zoom in when I start it now.  AND, now I can not see the page fit the screen.  It makes me scroll on the borders to move parts of the screen into view.  Something changed and I don't know what happened or how to get it back to normal.  Please HELP!!!  Thx!

    it is possible that zoom maybe enabled i think double taping with three fingers should disable it.
    or you can go into settings>general> assessability> zoom and turn it off.
    hope this helps

  • How can I hide the borders and keep it as an option?

    How can I hide the borders and keep it as an option?  I had someone go into the css I believe, and make it so there were no borders visible on the page (I could see the dotted outline while working on it, but when pushed, it wasn't visible (which is what I wanted).  They called it "noborders."  Since I had to reinstall, it went away.  Help?
    I have Dreamweaver CS5.5

    Try this site:  CSS Border
    Add code then type in a zero. Later add border size you want.
    examples:  border: 0px solid black;
    or
    border: 1px 000000;
    or
         border-top-style: solid; 0px 000000;
         border-right-style: dotted; 0px 000000;
         border-bottom-style: solid; 2px 000000;
         border-left-style: dashed; 1px 000000;

  • Can't see the Supply Levels with Canon PIXMA ip4200

    Have tried downloading the latest drivers from Canon and used various other drivers but can't see the Supply Levels. Was OK with my Windows machine, but have now seen the light and use an iMac.
    I am also having some issues when trying to print borderless with iPhoto, and think these problems may be related.
    Any suggestions?

    In testing iPhoto, I can see what you are getting. With the photo size at 4 x 6 you only get two photos per A4 sheet, even full bleed.
    Thinking about this, I wonder how the Windows application would have been fitting four to a page. A4 is 210mm x 297mm. A 4 x 6 inch photo is 101.6mm x 152.4mm. With the longer edge of 152 mounted inside the 210mm, there's roughly 50mm left. And in the vertical the photos use 203mm leaving 94mm. Not much room for another photo, let alone two more.
    Doing the maths, four photos without borders would require a surface area of 203.2mm x 304.8mm. So there would have to be some image loss, or size reduction, even on a full bleed A4 print.
    If you want four to a page, then the 3 x 5 print size will do this. But if you want 4 x 6 inch prints, then the default settings in iPhoto are not going to let you do it. And I can't find a way to override these default settings. Maybe there is another application that will let you do what you want.

  • Can not see the data in the grid

    Hi,
    nice to see the new features, but I can not see the the table inserts

    Regards

    Hi annerose,
    This problem has appeared in a few other threads. It's caused by installing Release 2 Raptor over Release 1 Raptor without first deinstalling Release 1 Raptor . So what you need to do is:
    1) Back up any important Raptor files, e.g. connections etc.
    2) Remove the existing Raptor Rel 1 installation folder
    3) Install Raptor Rel 2
    Hope this helps

  • On my ipad 2 I can't "see" the hundreds of spoken audio tracks that are in my itunes and on my ipod touch. Is there something I didn't do during sync up?

    On my ipad 2 I can't "see" the hundreds of spoken audio tracks that are in my itunes and on my ipod touch. Is there something I didn't do during sync up? The tracks are from voice recordings that were downloaded from an extrernal drive and weren't necessarily tagged as spoken audio. Do I need to go back into itunes and relabel these tracks so they will show up on my ipad2?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    With the iPad connected to the computer, while iTunes is running, click on the iPad name on the left side under devices. Click on the Movies tab and look for Movie Rentals. You want to "Move" the films to the iPad.

  • I bought an I pad 2 from us but I can not activate the Facetime in UAE(Dubai)as I can not see the country in the I pad's  drop list, anyone has an idea as how to resolve this issue

    I bought an I pad 2 from us but I can not activate the Facetime in UAE(Dubai)as I can not see the country in the I pad's  drop list, anyone has an idea as to how to resolve this issue

    I'm not that familiar with how FaceTime works. I know how to set It up but I don't use it. I just know that you can't activate in the UAE. I believe that you can activate in any country that permits it's use. Whether you will need a new ID or not, I can't confirm.
    You can Google this and get all sorts of articles on workarounds. Apparently if you set up a VPN you can use it in the UAE. Here is one article that I found.

    I Googled "workaround for FaceTime in UAE" to find this.

  • I bought rango and i can not see the movie in  my account anymore

    i had 3 movies on my account I redeem them but now I only see 2 of them how can I see the other one, I just change my laptop

    If your country allows you to re download past Movies (Not all do) then go to iTunes Store, Click on the Purchased link from under the Quick Links section on the right. Navigate tto the Movie Section, find your fil and click on the cloud icon to download at no extra cost.
    If you do not see the Movie Option then Re-Downloading is not allowed in your country by the Content owners so Apple can not show it

  • Can not see the report in report manager/admin tab

    Hi,
    in 8.49 on Win 2003 some users can not see the reports in report manager/admin tab. PS user can see them.
    Should we add some grants in user profile ? Which ? Any query to compare that user profile with PS ?
    Thank you.

    On the administration page, you will be able to see "View Reports For" header on the top.
    Under that header you will see the following fields:
    User ID/Type/Last/Status/Folder /Instance
    Above values will be used by PeopleSoft to filter and display the list of reports
    If the user has selected Status as Processing and saved the page, PeopleSoft will only show reports which are in Processing status.
    If user runs a report and it has been posted, it will not show up in report manager coz the filter value is set to Processing.
    Hope this helps. I dont think Permissions has anything to do with this since user is able to view the page.

  • Final user's can not see the data due to limited authorization.

    We have created a InfoSet with three info Objects, 0Account, 0Costcenter and 0COMP_CODE. 0Costcenter have an attribute retail location  0RT_LOCATIO.
    0RT_LOCATIO is an authorization relevant object. We as consultants can execute the infoset properly, but final user's with limited authorizations can not see the data because of authorization failier
    We hae several options to solve the issue, deleselect the auth. flag in the infoobject; delete the infoobject from the attributes of the cost center or create an authorization object and assign it to the final user's profile. But we don't want to go that way.
    My question is, is there any way to avoid including this attribute in the infoset definition? We are not using it in the query and we don't need it, so if we could delete it from the infoset (in the same way you add or delete infoobjects from an Infocube) without changing the cost center aster data, we will have our problem solved.
    Does anyone how to do this (if possible)?
    Thanks in advance!

    Just do two things to find the authorization check failed for that user.
    1. Execute SU53 output and find out the authoirzation check failed. If yes, please send that to BASIS Team.
    2. Next one, switch on the authorization trace in ST01 and ask that user to see that data. if the user is failed with authorization issue. switch off the trace in ST01 and find out the issue.
    Do this way, if it is not successful you can go for any other alternate way.
    Hope this would help you.

  • Can not see the menu of New Business Components Package in jdeveloper

    I am just follow the developer guide.
    and when I create the Business Components Package, the guide said that
    ========================================
    In the JDeveloper Navigator, select the OA Project where you want to create your package.
    From the main menu, choose File > New to open the New Object Gallery.
    In the Categories tree, expand the Business Tier node, and select Business Components (BC4J).
    In the Items list, select Business Components Package to open the Business Components Package Wizard. You can also right-click on the OA Project and select New Business Components Package to navigate directly to the Business Components Package Wizard.
    =====================================
    In fact I can not see the menu about Business Components (BC4J) in the File/new/buisness tier/Business Components (BC4J).
    I can only see the File/new/buisness tier/ADF Business Components.
    And can not find the "Business Components Package" under ADF Business Components either.
    I am using the JDev Extension for OA (p5856648_R12_GENERIC.zip) and EBS 12.0.0.
    And I create an OA Workspace and OA Project.
    can anyone help?

    Please give your advises!

    Hi!
    Maybe these attributes are not being shown due to the fact that they might have been specified in the "List of Display Attribute to exclude from Preview/Detail area" attribute of the UWL iview currently being used.
    As you can see in the Help page:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/de/0a/ad68c125ae496f8c04a25090bd2e3c/content.htm
    It states the following about this attribute:
    "Enter the names of the attributes which you want to hide from the display in the preview area. These names should be comma separated."
    Maybe for the UWL iview currently being used it has been specified some values for this attribute, and so some information for the items such as the start and end date of the leave (along with the others you have mentioned) are not getting displayed in the preview area.
    Hope this helps!
