IPhoto enlarges photo to size of app window - small images get super fuzzy

Hi,
Just upgraded to iphoto 09 from iphoto 06.
In the old version a small photo (say 300 X 400px) would show up at its (small) full size when double clicked. Since the photo was fairly small it would not take up the entire application's window, it would simply show at 100% and there would be some blank area around it.
In the new version iphoto blows up the photo (beyond its full size) to fill up the application's window which, since it's much larger than the size of the photo, makes the photo super fuzzy and miserable to look at. I tried making the iphoto window smaller but it seems to have a minimum size that is still too big for some of these small photos.
Does anyone know how to get iphoto to stop blowing up the picture when I view it? I'm not trying to edit or crop - simply view the photo at its original size. Also, when the photos are double clicked the zoom bar grays out unless I click edit - which is not what i want to do.
Thanks!!

I am referring to outgoing new messages that I am typing.

Can you drag the bottom right corner? You can in Snow Leopard, and I imagine you can in Lion.

How to set the minimum size of app window?

Hi JavaFX experts :)
Is it possible to limit the minimum size of application window? What would be the JavaFX equivalent of the following SWING code?
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("Application Title");
        frame.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(320, 240));
        frame.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(640, 480));Preferred or initial size was easy (width/height), but what about the minimum size?
Stage {
    title: "Application Title"
    width: 640
    height: 480
    scene: Scene {
        content: [
            // some content
}Thanks!

var stage: Stage;
var stageWidth = stage.width on replace
    if (stageWidth < 640) stageWidth = 640;
var stageHeight = stage.height on replace
    if (stageHeight < 400) stageHeight = 400;
stage = Stage {
    title: "Application Title"
    width: bind stageWidth with inverse
    height: bind stageHeight with inverse
    scene: Scene {
        content: [
            // some content
}It doesn't prevent resizing to smaller dimensions but it restores to minimal dimension if done.

Unresponsive application after opening app window with image..... help!

Hi,
I have made an app that has a window that opens up with an image. After clicking out of that window I wanted to quit the app in the menu bar up at the top. While upon clicking the name of the app in the menu, it became unresponsive and quit. Any help on how to change this to stop happening would be great. Also I used Image well to place the image in the window.

IPhoto and photos app becoming non responsive/ slow and crashing...

Ok so I need some help!
I've been importing my photos onto my iPad with a camera connection kit. Everything has been fine for a while, I've been able to edit , do effects, export, navigate between windows and sections within the app.
Now for so,e reason the app has become INCREDIBLEY slow and at some times unresponsive. Every time you go to touch or edit a photo after about two minutes of using the app, it freezes and I won't be able to do anything. Then all of a sudden it will work then it will stop and become unresponsive again.
Also my camera connection kit on the import using the photos application has become slow as well. The app used to fly through the import of 100+ photos giving green ticks within a second at a time.
Now it's around 20 to 30 seconds per photo to import it onto the iPad.
I have 5gb left on the iPad on a 64gb iPad.
I've tried a hard restart of the whole iPad as well. I've also tried closing the app and re opening it from scratch.
In my entire photos library I have 705 photos - average size of photos are around 3.3mb each
The iPhoto app it's self is now running at 2.2 gb in total
I really don't want to delete iPhoto app and reinstall as I'll loose all my edits that I've done. However in saying that it seems to be the photo app that's the problem as well due to the connection kit speed issue . All other apps work fine and the rest of the iPad works as usual . So it's just photo and iphoto that is having problems.
Has anyone got any idea on how to fix this???? I'm away on a trip and am wanting to use my iPad to offload and edit photos ASAP :(
Any advice or comments would be great let appreciated!
Thanks
James

Disk Utility does not work on user files. Only on system and applications. Give the following a try:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/ Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help: As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

When ordering enlarged photos from iPhoto, must I purchase them one at a time and pay a shipping fee for each and very one of them. Sort of a ripoff but I can't figure how to purchase many and pay one shipping fee.

You may have better luck posting in the iPhoto forum if no one on this forum is able to assist. I'm sure you are doing something wrong though.

It would help if you would answer questions and give information rather then constantlhy complaining
You do not need to purchase anything - but to help you you do have to supply the requested information
Have you installed iPhoto from the DVD that came with the computer or from the App Store?
The answer to this is critical to helping you -- please answer
WE probably also need to know exactly how you "restored" your Mac and why youneeded to restore it

Did it... When I clicked on "No name", a file folder came up and, I forgot to put MacBook Pro in the name bar... That was it! Maybe someone else can use this post Hopefully...

How do you enlarge the font size on lync Iphone App?

I have my default on my iphone 5 set to large, but the lync app font is far too tiny for me to read. I can't find a setting to enlarge the font on this app.

So far there is no feature to change the font size on mobile device for Lync mobile client.

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Why does my maximised app window appear a different size to the screen resolution?

First: I'm a beginner with windows programming, fumbling my way through visual studio and C# (my background is C with console applications)... sorry if this is a naive question!
Short story: When I create a window of the same size as the screen resolution. My app window is ~20% larger than my device's screen. Why is this happening?
Long story: I'm attempting to develop an application with a fixed size window and absolute positioning of UI elements. The application will only ever run at a fixed resolution, on a single device, borderless/non-resizeable and full-screen. The resolution
of the display on which it will run is 1280x800 (according to the device specs and resolution reported by the windows control panel) . However, when I create a window of this size, it is too large to fit onscreen. In fact, I have to create a window 1024x640
(0.8x screen resolution) for it to perfectly fit the screen. Anyone know why this is happening?
Thanks!

It sounds like you are running in a high-DPI mode but your app is not DPI aware and is getting virtualized. Windows will tell the app it's running at 96 DPI and then embiggen the rendered window so it ends up at the user's requested zoom level.

Writing DPI-Aware Desktop and Win32 Applications

How can I increase the font size in the Apple Mail app window?

My 83yo mother has been having trouble with Mail on her iMac. The font size used to be quite large in the app window, but it is back to normanl. How can I increase the size so it defaults to large when opened?

Hi Bob,
In Mail>Preferences>Fonts & Colors you can set the size for several areas of Mail...

I want to buy a book I created in iPhoto. I want to leave blank some spaces in the photo layout, but the app won't let me "buy the book" unless all the layout spaces are filled.

That is correct - you must have a photo in every photo frame to order

Is there Any Terminal Command to Bring Icon, Doc, App & Window Size to Default

Hi. Is there a kind of universal restore to default (as if it was freshly or cleanly installed) everything in the OS (icon size, dock size, placement or position, app window size default, etc.) either in terminal or some hidden restore to default button in Lion and Leopard? Or everything has to be adjusted manually? Thank you in advance.
Gbu.

You could delete the plists for the things that control those options. The system will then recreate the default plists. plists are preference list files stored in you user/Library/Preferences folder or in the main /Library/Preferences folders. Most can just be deleted without problems; however, some contain setup information (like Mail's) that is difficult to recreate, so moving the plist first so you can restore it if everything goes wonky.
For Finder windows, there is a hidden .DS_Store file that keeps the window settings for each folder. I'm sure I've seen a command to hunt down and delete all of those files.
