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 />

  • HT1338 Since having my Macbook Pro attached to a large display screen, everything is too large for the screen. Is there a cure please?

    Today I had my Mac linked to a projector screen, and since disconnection evrything from the desk top onwards has been too large for the screen. Before that evrything was perfect. I have tried zoom buttons etc, but nothing seems to work. Any help gratefully rceived.

    So it's not the Zoom feature?  Open System Preferences Universal Access pane Seeing tab.  Make sure Zoom is turned OFF.
    If it's not that, then you may have the resolution set so that it is not optimal for the built-in display.  Open System Preferences Displays pane Display tab.  The optimal resolution is usually the one at the top of the list of choices.

  • When I open my iPad the page is too big for the screen and won't shrink down. The keypad has also become very 'sticky'

    Recently when I open any apps the pages are too big for the screen. They shrink when pinched but immediately become bigger again. It's very difficult to scroll too. The keypad has become very sticky. Missing letters and spaces when I type and needing to tap the keys much harder than usual

    I have the exact same problem, I think.  I was on my iPad 3's home page swiping R-L to locate a certain icon when all of a sudden the screen appeared to get HUGE.  So big I could only see one or two icons.  I couldn't even turn it off to try a reboot because after I pushed the sleep/wake button, I couldn't find the red slide bar.  I finally just had to wait for the battery to die, then recharge it, and it looked normal again.  I also spoke with several friends who haven either iPads or iPhones, and they've all had this happen to them.  I checked my accessibility settings, and Zoom was already off.  So what is causing this problem for so many people, and what can we do to prevent it?  Please help.

  • Display unaccountably gets too big for the screen

    This has happened maybe a dozen times, and I don't know what I did to make it happen. Suddenly, the desktop display gets too large for the screen, and I have to scroll around to find the dock or the menu bar. Whatever else I'm working on, e-mail, etc., gets outsized, too. Does anyone know how to correct this? So far, restarting has worked, but that's a pretty time-consuming way to do it.

    Cindy,
    Hold down the CNTL key and scroll down with the mouse or trackpad. That should change it back to size. This is called screen zoom.
    Cheers
    You can also deactivate it in System Preferences for the Mouse and/or trackpad.

  • TS1717 Everytime i open Itunes in windows 7 despite me specifying maximised it opens in window that is always too large for the screen. EVen windowing the frame and then remaximiseing puts the buttons outside the edge of the screen

    Every time i open Itunes it starts in a window that is too large for the screen (despite me setting "start maximised" in the launch options). Then hitting the "maximise" button expands the window slightly pushing all the buttons and edge of the frame out of the screen and behind the taskbar at the bottom. I have to move the window to a place where i can resize it smaller than the screen then and only then does maximising the window fit it properly to the screen.

    Okay, I just opened up Itunes this evening and it's not working again! Sheeshy Peetz!
    HOWEVER, this time I followed some different steps and got it working.
    (1) Uninstall Quicktime
    (2) Uninstall Itunes
    (3) Re-download Both
    (4) Install Quicktime First!  (Read #6 below first though)
    (5) Install Itunes Next!  (Read #6 below first though)
    (6) Here is the CAVEAT for me:  I have an SSD as my C:\Drive, which is where I originally installed both of them.   So this time, I installed both Quicktime and Itunes to a Non-SSD drive, which was one of my SATA Drives.
    (7) Start Itunes and Test your Movies now.  For me I was able to play them finally.  Who knows how long this will last lol.
    Maybe this work for someone.

  • My iPad standard window is bit too big for the screen.

    My iPad screen unexpectedly got slightly too big for the display window. The size is bit too big. For example, the keyboard when it pops up does not fully display all tkey sans. Another example is the time/power remaining bar slips out of sight.  Did I accidentally change something?  Is this an issue with version of iOS that I am using (4.3.3)? (Note I'm not talking about resizing by using your fingers.)

    John,
    I am having the same problem.  The enlargement is not the same as the 3 finger tap or the 2 finger zoom.  The screen opens and then bumps to a slightly larger screen just enough to make it too big to see the outer edges.  You can put 3 fingers on the screen and move the screen to see the edges but you cannot get it to shrink to the correct size.  This is the second time this has happened to me.  I am also having some other issues.  Sometimes while in an app the app will close and I will be diverted to the home screen.  And sometimes when playing "with Friends games" the letters on the letterboard (not the key pad) disappear, will not move or are giant.  I plan on taking it back to the Apple store this week but I hate the idea of having to start over.

  • 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.

  • My display has gotten too big for the screen!  How to fix?

    This is really strange. The tab bar at the top and the dock at the bottom don't both fit on the screen anymore. And when I move the mouse the whole screen shifts until it rests at its topmost or bottommost position. Same with left/right. There's about 4" of play in each direction. Very frustrating. Tried System Preferences but all the settings seem correct. Anyone know what this is and how to fix it? Thanks,
    John

    It sounds like you have accidentally activated zoom.
    You can disable zoom in System Preferences->Universal Access preference pane->Seeing.

  • Why is it that the wallpapers are too big for the screen? I liked how in iOS 6 that you could make it whatever size you wanted. Please Please Please bring that back and you will have one happy customer!!!

    Is there is a reason why pictures in iOS 7 don't work well with setting your backgrounds??
    This needs to be changed back to iOS 6 style for setting backgrounds, otherwise everything else is good.

    "Why" - because Apple designed it that way, probably to allow for the motion-parallax effect in the iOS 7 home screen.  It has been this way since iOS 7 was released 6 months ago.  Why are you first noticing it now?

  • When firefox is loaded the display is too big for the screen & blocks out controls

    When I load Firefox Home, the display is too large to fit into the screen making it impossible to see the controls (Toolbar and log-out cross etc) This has only just happened, everything was working perfectly until about an hour ago

    Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.
    If that works then close Firefox (File > Exit/Quit) to save that setting.

  • HOW DO I FREEZE MY SCREEN SO IT DOESN'T MOVE AROUND, THE DISPLAY SCREEN IS NOW TOO BIG FOR THE SCREEN.

    My kids have played around with my computer & the display is now so large that it doesn't fit on the screen so I can only see the top or bottom if I move the mouse there, how do I get it so it all fits back in it's fixed screen?

    They have accidentally (or not!) activated Zoom!
    Go to System Preferences/Universal Access/Seeing to turn it off!

  • 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?

  • The pages become too big for the screen on Macbook pro

    Hello,
    Yesterday I was watching a movie on amazon.com using my Macbook Pro (retina display if it helps). I connected it to my TV via HDMI and put it on full screen. After the movie I was too lazy to tidy up and went to sleep. This morning, when I opened it, on the 'safari' ( I don't know if its the same name in english because my computer is in french) and battle.net have 1/3 of the page is outside the borders of it horizontally and vertically. I also feel that everything is bigger. I tried restarting it or closing the pages and opening them again but it doesn't work. Please help    me because I use my laptop for everything I do and I need it as soon as possible. Please excuse any spelling mistakes.

    Sorry I found what the problem was but I can only explain in french, you have to go to 'preferences system' then to 'Moniteurs' and click on 'Optimal (retina).

  • The new ios7 update I can't size my wallpapers anymore. They are all way too big for the screen. Before I would just pinch to size it however I wanted and now it won't do this anymore. Really ***** because now you can't see the wallpapers fully.

    Before the ios7 update we uses to be able to size our wallpapers backgrounds we choose to be the size we desire to fit our screen. Now we can't do this. Why? Is it something they left out for some reason or is there something I'm doing wrong?

    Yes you can delete those temporary files as long as you've saved any changes you've made back to the main document. So I'd open the document with the same name without the ~ and hidden file attribute and make sure it's the way you want it. Then you can delete the temporary file.
