Image doesn't fit on screen

At startup, right after desktop image, top menu and dock loads, monitor resolution is being reset so only part of the desktop image fits on the screen. Going to Display Preferences and switching resolution does nothing. Starting up in Safe Mode and hooking up a CRT monitor instead doesn't change anything either. Also tried to reset PRAM and trash com.apple.windoserver.plist
The problem first appeared while I was using computer. Screen resolution suddenly changed.

Hi
Screen resoultion suddenly changed. <</div>
This sounds like a monitor cable fault or a graphics card fault. Either one or the other or both are not now able to support the full range of resolutions they were able to support before the fault occured. To determine where the fault lies you could do one of two things. Borrow another monitor and try your mac on that and see if the follows the graphics card/mac or if you have a friend with a computer that you can try your monitor on to see if the fault follows the monitor.

Workspace doesn't fit the screen anymore...

Hello.
Since today (and Mac OS X's update I installed this morning, I guess), my Photoshop CS6 workspace doesn't fit the screen of my 12 inch Cintiq (connected to a 2014 Macbook Air). No matter what I do, it keeps it wrong.
Trying to set the photoshop window to the whole Cintiq screen with the "green" Mac OS corner button, this is what I get:
Hitting F won't do the trick, this is what it gets me:
I tried to clear the Photoshop prefs, without success. I checked for updates and found there was a Photoshop update I had not yet installed, and I did install it, to no success. Needless to say, this makes my copy of Photoshop most unusable, which is a really big problem for an illustrator like me. I really wish I can solve this as soon as possible.
Thanks.

Yeah, no results. Still the same.
If I take my main window and move it up by myself, it's just gonna stay there until the next click somewhere, then it gets back to this wrong placement,.

Loss of display image quality when fit to screen

Hi everyone,
I've noticed that when I'm editing with PSE and have the view set so that the photo fits the screen (which means, it's very much zoomed out), the quality of the photo suffers. Almost like there's some pixelation, but not really. I apologize for the unclear explanation, I just don't know what the term is for this loss of quality when zoomed out a lot. I don't mean to disparage PSE, which is a great program, but I don't have this problem with another (free) program I also use. I'm just trying to find out if it's something in my display settings that I can change or some other way I can fix this. I often like to see the whole picture when editing but it's almost impossible to do editing when looking at the whole picture in PSE since it looks so off.
Thank you.

The image size are 1600x1200 or larger and should be adequate in size. Anyone know how to improve the quality of the stills? I feel it may have something to do with the program resizing/ downsizing the pics.
You are correct. This is a case of bigger not being better. I would suggest resizing in Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, or similar, to the Frame Size of your Project, or just slightly larger, if you need to pan on any, when they are zoomed out to full size.
This ARTICLE will give you some tips on resizing.
Good luck,
Hunt

My MacBook Pro 17" display has been corrupted, image doesn't fit screen?

Why has the image on my screen become larger than the screen size?

By accident you much have slightly zoomed the screen.
Head to your Apple Menu > System Preferences > Accessibility or Universal Access and adjust.

HELP!! PSE7 Downloader doesn't fit laptop screen

I've recently upgraded from pse4 to pse7 and have just found the 'advanced settings' button on the downloader. However, the window this opens is too big for my laptop screen and I can't access the 'get photos' button. I can't get the window to move like a windows window. Can anyone help?
Thanks

Interesting, the Advanced Dialog window is 812 pixels high, larger than the 768 typical of a laptop (and the minimum required by Adobe for PSE). And PSE doesn’t let you make the window any smaller.
Here’s how to move the window around if the title bar isn’t visible: Click anywhere within the window. Then hold down Alt and Space at the same time. Release Alt-Space and type “m”. Now you can use the up/down/left/right arrow keys to move the window around. Left-click with the mouse when you have the window where you want it.
You can try this on other top-level windows first to see how it works.

Game doesn't fit the screen, iPod menu sideways

I have a 4th generation iPod Nano. The problem here comes from the game Brain Challenge.
This is probably a very confusing and complicated explanation of the problem, so I've provided photos of the problem at the bottom of this post.
When I start Brain Challenge the game video is not aligned with the screen so that part of the game is cut off when I play. The game should be displayed on the screen horizontally (with the ipod held horizontally - as in Klondike), however my problem is that Brain Challenge is displayed with a vertical orientation (with the ipod held vertically), meaning the right-hand side of the Brain Challenge interface is cut off by the edge of the screen and there is a large black area at the bottom of the screen (see photo #1).
To make matters worse, when I exit Brain Challenge the orientation of all the ipod menus are askew as well (photo #2). With the ipod held vertically, the ipod menus are now displayed sideways, with anything at the "bottom" of the menu being cut off by the edge of the screen, and a large empty black space at the bottom of the screen. I have found that the only way to correct this and reorient the ipod menu display is to go to Cover View (even resetting the ipod does not resolve it). When I exit Cover View everything is back to normal.
While I have been able to fix the display of the ipod menus when this happens, the problem I described above reoccurs each time I attempt to play Brain Challenge. Maybe the game thinks I have a 3rd generation Nano?
I have uninstalled the game from my ipod and reinstalled it with no better luck. The only other software I have added to my ipod is Ms. Pac-man.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

I would do a Restore in iTunes to erase the iPod and initialize its software. Then re-sync your iTunes library as desired, including adding that game. See if it plays better.
If not, and you don't have any similar problems when you play any other games (or at any other time when using the iPod), you should report the problem about that game through the iTunes Store. You can do so using iTunes by selecting the iTunes Store in the sidebar, then clicking on your iTunes Store user ID at the upper right corner. This will give you your account summary view. Click on +Purchase History+. From there, you can find the specific purchase that has this game and +Report a Problem+ to explain the issues. If desired, you can request a refund, because the game does not work as expected.
After doing the Restore, if you notice other similar issues (not just a problem in that game), you may want to have the iPod looked at under the one-year warranty.

Menu doesn't fit on screen

I have a menubar on my application, one of the menu items is a submenu listing about 15 options one of which can be selected (radio button). the menu is small enough overall to fit on the screen but when it shows up it only displays about half of it and the top half is cut off by the top of the screen. how do I get arouns this.

Perhaps its a better idea to place the options in a Dialog box and create an options entry in the menu that pops up the dialog. I think that might make a better interface, though i can't see how your prog is used of course

Incoming text message doesn't fit monitor screen

All of a sudden my incoming emails are too wide to fit the monitor screen and I have to use the arrows at the bottom to read the right side. How can I correct this? Thanks

Have you changed either the font size your e-mail program uses, or is the display resolution not at its maximum in Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Displays? If the latter is the case, increase the resolution, and maximize the window size so more of the text fits.
Conversely, if your friend just purchased a larger display, they might be creating e-mail at a higher resolution, thus ending their sentences at a much later point in their e-mail too, thus causing it to not wrap where it used to.

Garage Band doesn't fit to screen

My GB is too large to fit to the screen (bottom goes below view, top goes above). You cannot shrink it through the bottom right of the screen. When you drag it to see the top the of the screen you cannot drag it back. You either have to hit the green + or window - zoom. Does anyone have answers or a similar problem to me?

Don't know if this is the same problem and solution or not, but check it out.

Writing email: doesn't fit in screen

After updating to ios 4.0 on my 3GS I noticed that when I'm writing an email & I get to the end of a line the whole email shifts to the right for about 2 letters (which makes the first word of the email shift off screen to the left). The words don't all fit on the iphone screen by about 2 letters. The screen does not stay locked, it shifts to the right with the extra letters. This happens when composing a new email or replying to old emails. It does not happen with other writing programs I'm using in ios4 and it didn't happen in 3.0.
Anybody having this problem too?

Thanks a million!!! You guys are a clasas act!

Apple TV image doesn't match computer screen

We have a new Apple TV and are able to navigate using the TV screen to access content, but our MacBook Pro which is "synced" to the Apple TV displays different content and seems to operate independently. Any ideas on how to have the TV display and laptop monitor match?

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
Your MBP and the tv are different devices and work independently of each other, the display attached to the tv is not supposed to mirror your MBP display.
