I want to use the whole iMac screen--How?

Suddenly the edges became black with enlarged fonts in a smaller square or rectangular view.  I went to systems and played with the various resolutions but only the stretch resolutions fill the screen and then with some distortion that was not there previously.  ?????

Thanks to both suggestions.  Both worked:
1. The resolution default at the top of the list is the default and that restored the width of active use to the borders of the screen.  Previously the R and L active edges of the screen shrunk an inch on either side and left black, inactive pixels.
2. Control Zoom works within the active borders as described, but it did not restore the full width.
Many thanks.

    Anyway to use the 24" iMacs screen for other computer?
    I´d like to hook up another computer to the 24" iMac. I know there´s no hardware way since it´s integrated but maybe by using some magic box over usb or something and a bit of software?
    I´m looking to use it under Windows running Bootcamp.

  • I have a new computer and I want to use the "MasterPassword" again. How do I import all of the saved website passwords/logins from my old FireFox computer?

    I have a new computer and I want to use the "MasterPassword" again. How do I import all of the saved website passwords/logins from my old FireFox computer?

    A couple of methods.
    The first is to copy 2 files, key3,db and signons.sqlite from the profile folder of the old computer t the profile folder of the new computer. For details of how to find the profile folder see the [[profiles]] article.
    The second method is to install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2848/ Password Exporter] add-on on both computers and use that to export/import the passwords.

  • I have a pencil icon (named bookmark) in lower right hand corner of any firefox webpage. It is too easy to accidentally click on it when I merely want to use the scroll arrow. How do I delete it.

    clicking on the pencil icon bookmarks whatever page I am on at the time.

    List your add-ons in a reply. On the Help > Troubleshooting Information screen, click "Copy all to Clipboard", then paste into the reply area. This way, maybe someone can identify which add-on is putting the icon in your status bar. See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using+the+Troubleshooting+Information+page

    It can be done because it was done.
    You could have made your question here much easier to understand. You mentioned none of this in your first two posts.
    There's a fairly recent version of that extension for Safari, here: https://code.google.com/p/mailto-chromeextension/downloads/list
    If that doesn't work, maybe you should try using the Chrome version.
    Good luck.

    Hi Victor,
    I have a simple solution for this.i think it will help you.Do u have any idea about query designer in SAP.
    by using it we can satisfy u r  reuqirement.follow the below steps.
    1)Go to SQ01
    2)In the screen click on QuickViewer option.then you will go to another screen.
    3)In that screen give any name starting with 'Z' in the QuickView box and then click on create.
    4)In the dialogbox enter title and comments and then select LogicalDatabase as the DATASOURCE and give DataSourceLogicalDatabase as EQI.check the radio button Basis Mode and then click on ok.
    5)then on the screen in the first half of leftside you will  get another screen with the columns DATAFIELDS,LISTFIELDS,SELECTIONFIELDS,TECHNICALNAME.
    6)In the DATAFIELDS column expand the tree,then u can see the fields what we have,and what you want.and also you can see the check boxes in front of the columns LISTFIELDS,SELECTIONFIELDS.
    7)LISTFIELDS means the output fields,SELECTIONFIELDS means the selection screen fields(equnr).
    check the checkboxes as per u r requirement and click on execute.
    8)then a progam will be created.to know the program name after executing the program GO TO
    SYSTEM->STATUS.then u can see the program name there.
    If u know all these,let me know so that i can try for another solution.

  • How do I change the icloud account on my iphone? I want to use the same account for all my apple devices (macbook air and imac and iphone). I can't see where I can amend the iphone account because it is in grey?

    I want to use the same account for all my apple devices (macbook air, imac and iphone). I can't see how I can amend the iphone account because it is in grey? I also can't remember the password for this account so i can't even delete it and start again?

    Deleting an iCloud account only deletes it from the Device, not from iCloud.  In iOS 8, the name of this setting changed to "Sign Out" as that is a better reflection of what actually happens.  Your iCloud data remains on the server, available to devices still signed into the account, but the device you sign out of the account on is disconnected from the account, and as a result, the iCloud data from that account is removed from the device.  It will redownload to the device should you sign back into the account.
    The only issue you'll run into when you switch between accounts is with my photo stream photos older than 30 days.  When you delete (or sign out of) and account, your photo stream photos are deleted along with the other data from the account in question.  However, unlike other data which remains on the server and can redownload to your device when you sign back in, my photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days.  When you sign back in, you will only get back my photo stream photos added in the last 30 days (as older photos are no longer in iCloud to redownload).  Like other account data, any my photo stream photos on your other devices signed into the account are unaffected by this.  If you want to keep older my photo stream photos on your device as you change iCloud accounts, save them to your camera roll before deleting (signing out of) the account.
