Ibooks template too wide for my image

If you go to Ibooks author it only allows you to select the larger template, How do I change it to the thinner vertical rectangle that other authers are using ?
I am providing 2 book covers, the top one is the one I want, but the bottom one is the only one I can choose in ibook author. How can I adjust my book cover size to be like the top book in my image.

When you open iBooks Author, you should have the template chooser appear.
The "larger" template is designed for use in Landscape. What you want is a "Portrait" sized template.
When the template chooser opens, you will see the different template available in both Landscape and Portrait.
Also, using Landscape, you can "turn off" the porttrait orientation.
Portrait template are more suitable to books with mostly written content and maybe a few small illustrations, while Landscape are used mostly by those making illustrated/ interactive books and use video and other widgets.

Navigation bar too wide for template graphic after creating new page

I want to stick within the templates, but I have a lot of pages and don't want them all in the nav bar. When I flagged a page to keep it out of the NAV bar, the NAV bar get messed up - not properly displaying at the edge of the template, like it made room for the hidden page's link then re-adjusted itself too wide for the background graphic. I've got the problem in the elegant template when displayed in IE on Windows (1024X768). Safari on my mac looks OK. Are there any other setting changes I can make to be better compatible?
Thanks

It appears to have been a cache issue or some such. I no longer see the problem

All of a sudden the screen on my iMac 10,1 is too small for the image. Can't figure out how to reduce the size of the Finder or any of the Apps.

All of a sudden the screen is too small for the image. Hard to explain, but in order to see the entire Finder window, I must scroll the image up/down, left/right.
It's not just the Finder though, all of the apps are affected this way too.
It's probably got something to do with the fact that I have an HDMI cable running from the Mac to a Vizio 42" TV. It's been running this way just fine for over two months though.
Any ideas?

You probably accidently zoomed the screen. Hold down CNTL while scrolling down with the mouse or trackpad to unzoom. Cntl - scroll up to zoom.

Mac login acounts too wide for the screen

The older versions worked just fine, but Lion login account icons run left and right and are too wide for the screen on the macmini. So, I have to scroll to get to my account at the end of the list. Is there a way to change this?

It is possible that the screen is too wide or too high and that the scroll bars fall off.<br />
Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.<br />
If that works then close Firefox to save that setting.<br />

Text too wide for paper,cuts end off

I frequently find that some text in forums etc is in sentences too long for the normal paper when printed, and as a result the last few words are cut off. Often reducing print size works, but makes it harder to read. I haven't been able to find any way to make it fit the page, or is that not possible? Changing to landscape helps, but not always.
any suggestions ?

That page loads normally for me in Safari 3.1.1. Not to say that it it might not have a problem in some setups, different browsers, etc....
Edit: Ah, yes, in Firefox that thread really is very wide, isn't it. And it actually is caused by a long URL, the "http://www.newegg.com..." link in one of R. Berardi's posts, which wraps to three lines in my Safari but doesn't wrap in Firefox. It seems that Safari and Firefox have different line-wrapping behavior, where Safari will wrap some text after certain characters but Firefox will not.

Movies Too Wide For Screen?

Recently got a new Ipod Classic (160gb) and some of the podcasts and movies and stuff are cut off on both sides of my ipod. They fit the top and bottom of the screen, but are too wide. Whats up?

Hello nick4tivy,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Have you made sure you haven't turned widescreen on? To check head to the Videos section of your iPod and choose "Settings". Make sure *TV Screen* is set to Standard and see if that helps.
Otherwise, depending on where the video came from, you may have to use a third party utility to help change the resolution of the video. If it was downloaded from iTunes, you will not be able to do anything about it. Sorry.

16:9 widescreen movie menus are too wide for the TV screen

I shot a movie in 16:9 on my Canon Optura 600 camcorder and edited it in iMovieHD6. Imported it into iDVD6 and all was looking good. Burned it on the SuperDrive and when played back on my Sony XBR flat screen TV (Not widescreen), the 16:9 movie overscans and hides some of the theme menus at the sides. The movie looks "squashed." If I play it at 4:3 on the same TV the movie looks normal but the menus still don't fit. I went back into iDVD and changed the project to 4:3. In the preview mode, now all looks ok. The movie does not look flattened. Is this the way that 16:9 movies should be handled in iDVD6, that is, converted to standard and not wide screen, so that they run as a 16:9 movie letterboxed on the 4:3 screen? I played the DVD on a Sony widescreen LCOS SXRD projection TV and the movie fit better but part of the menus were still hiddden.

Hi Steven,
iDVD does some strange things with aspect ratios. It basically stems from the way it deals with the aspect ratio flag that your DVD player uses to set the screen resolution. iDVD internally sets the aspect ratio of the project to 16:9 auto pan & scan and letterbox. In essence this means that the output is contolled almost totally by the settings on you DVD player and TV.
In an ideal world iDVD would give you the option to set the aspect ratio to 16:9 letterbox therefore forcing the picture to letterbox on a 4:3 TV. This would give more consistent results across varying equipment.
Added to this, some TV's and DVD players will by design cut off some of the edges of the available picture. This is normal and should be allowed for when creating your DVD. You can use the Show TV Safe option (apple T) to show the safest area to place titles and menus in.
The way DVD's work and the method by which aspect ratios are handled is a complicated subject for which there's not enough space here but if you're really interested in having a little more control over the way your DVD works then I can highly recommend myDVDedit:
http://www.mydvdedit.com
It's free and a great tool. It even has a guide to fix exactly your problem. Downside is you need a little bit of a learning curve to fully understand the way a DVD works.
Basically you could create a disk image on you hard disk and edit the results to set the aspect ratio to force a 16:9 letterbox therefore ensuring more reliability.
Alternatively you could create your DVD's as normal (ensuring that you set the project correctly to 16:9 to match your footsge) and adjust the settings on your DVD player to 16:9 letterboxed. That might work but you'd have to ensure that this is set correctly on all of the DVD players you use your disks on.
I hope I haven't confused the living daylights out of you.

Some websites have pages which are too wide for my screen and I lose the edges.

Do I have to adjust settings on my computer, and if so, how?
Does not affect every website, only 2.
OK on this laptop computer but affects my desktop (Dell) running Windows XP.

Widescreen project too wide for my widescreen TV?!

Hi everyone!
So I'm going nutz and have read a bunch of other threads on this but most of it is way over my head. Can someone help out a layman?
I just made a movie on iMovie and then moved it to iDVD. I am using iLife 08. The projects (the movie and dvd) were both widescreen. Everything was great! Looked great on the computer etc... But then I played the dvd on my widescreen TV and the top and bottom of the picture (including titles I had put on the bottom of the screen using the imovie templates) had been cut off. Not letter boxed but rather they seemed to not fit on the screen. I tried changing my tv settings but nothing seems to work.
Does anyone know what might be up? I also tried to burn the dvd as a standard 4:3 project and the resulting DVD still had the top and bottom cut off. Is this an issue with my DVD/TV?
thanks guys!!

On your DVD player, go to settings and find the Video area. Find aspect ratio and change that to 16:9.

Newsletter is too wide for Mail window

I receive a monthly email newsletter. It is hard to read because the text is wider than the window, necessitating constant left and right scrolling. I had the same problem before I changed monitors. Some other Mac users are writing in to the editor with the same problem, but noone who uses Windows has complained so far.

You can resize the picture on the display by pinching your fingers on the trackpad of the MacBook Pro. Pinching makes the picture smaller and you an make it fit into the window so you don't have to scroll. If you want to make the picture bigger, you move your thumb and index finger apart, the opposite of pinching.
I just posted this as a problem i'm hoping someone can help with. I can resize the picture by pinching, but i don't want to have to keep resizing every time i go to a website. i want Safari to automatically have the picture fit the window so that information is not cut off, requiring either resizing or scrolling. I didn't used to have this problem.

Tabbed Panel Widget is too wide for the Phone Layout.

Is it possible to reduce the width of the Tabbed Panel Widget for use on the Phone layout? When I grab a handle on the widget box and re-size it to the smaller width of the Phone layout, it springs back. There does not seem to be a way to adjust the width.

Under Layers go to the content Area and move the Textfields to the left and/or remove the pictures , after that you can resize the tabbed panel.
Hope that helps

Pages too wide for screen in Safari 5.0.3

Often, when I launch Safari5.0.3 the web page that comes up extends about 3" past the right edge of my screen.
Of course, I can then cinch it back manually to fit the screen, but would prefer that pages fit automatically.
I tried different screen resolution settings but the issue continues.
Not long ago, my MBP's lid/screen enclosure was replaced by Apple.
This issue presented itself soon after. Might there be a correlation here?
Suggestions anyone?

Hi,
Not sure if this has anything to do with hardware.
Quit Safari.
Open a Finder window select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Then open the Library folder, then the Caches folder, then the *com.apple.Safari folder*.
Move the cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac. Try Safari.

I just got Firefox and the page is too wide for my screen and I can't see the scroll bar or other tools

I have a 19" flat screen monitor.

A few things to check:
(1) Full screen mode
The F11 key switches between normal and full screen modes. Make sure you are in normal mode with all the regular bars showing.
(2) Compatibility
One thing that sometimes happens is that Windows sets up Firefox in a compatibility mode. If the whole desktop changes resolution when you start Firefox, then that is the first thing to check. Close Firefox, right-click the program icon you use the start it up, choose Properties, then the Compatibility tab, and clear out any checkboxes that might be checked there.
(3) Zoom
It is easy to zoom the page accidentally using the mouse scroll wheel. To reset zoom, you can use Ctrl+0 (that's a zero) or
View menu > Zoom > Reset
When you are using the orange Firefox button (short menus), you can tap the Alt key or press F10 to display the classic menu bar to use the old View menu.
If those don't help, can you describe what sites are affected?

When Firefox 5 opens the web page is too wide for the window and only half is displayed. How can I correct this?

The web page is offset to the right so that only the left half is visible in the Firefox window. As soon as I start to re-size the window (bottom RH corner) the page snaps into place and all is ok. It only happens when I launch the browser.
I did not experience this with version 4.
