MacPro - Desktop screensize too big. How can I resize it (sys pref resolution doesn't work).

I have an iMac and am using a Macbook Pro. The desktop screensize is way too big for the screen. The top toolbar and bottom icons can only be viewed by moving the screen around. SysPrefs resolution (and text resizing) doesn't do a thing. Any suggestions from anyone? (Both products are a few months to a year old).
Thanks!

Hold down Control and scroll down with the mouse or trackpad.
Regards,
Captfred
Edit: Your screen is zoomed, this will unzoom it.

How can I do Safe Boot if keyboard doesn't work

iMac frozen at restart and keyboard doesn't work. Appreciate any ideas on how I can reboot.

Do you have a wired or wireless keyboard? If you have a wireless one, using a wired one temporarily might help with this. Otherewise, it sounds like you have a hardware failure, possibly hard drive or logic board. In any case I would then recommend taking it in for a Diagnosis and service.

Livecycle PDFs too big, how can I

Hi All,
I have made a PDF form which allows users to open in Reader and add text and images.
The form itself is small and usable but as soon as anyone imports an image or two it grows witout compression.
Therefore the resulting PDFs are huge and therefore the whoe idea of someone filling out a PDF and returning it is pointelss as most email won't allow it.
I there any way of setting the output PDF to automatically compress any image that is imported into it?

Hi,
the imported images get saved as base64-data, which is not very effective to compress data.
You have no opportunity to change this, but you can use a script to check the size of an imported image and warn users if the images are to large.

New Message window too big? Can't resize it? Here's a tip.

I found an answer, will share the tip.
Apparently the problem happened when I dragged huge pictures into an New Message window (to compose an email). Not sure, but it probably had to do with that.
The problem:
All New Message windows opened huge, covered entire screen, and I could not get to the resize button in lower right corner. Or it didn't work. I couldn't grab the corner and resize the window. Restarting didn't help. You can move the windows off your screen every way but up, not beyond the main menu bar.
Solution:
In the upper right corner is a button you can click to hide the window's tool bar. Click it and the entire window slides up as the tool bar disappears. Then you can grab the bottom right corner to resize the window. Hit the upper right button to get your tool bar back after resizing.
I came here to find a solution (after 2 days of thinking), then figured it out on my own before getting through the dozens of posts relating to inability to resize mail windows. I couldn't read all of them, but I'm guessing this might be a useful tip to others.
24" iMac, Intel Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Yeah, that button normally works, so that's a good suggestion, but it didn't in my case (that's the first thing I tried). All it did was to widen or narrow my window by quarter of an inch. It didn't change the height of the window and did not give me access to a working resize corner in the lower right.
I was surprised that reopening Mail and restarting the computer didn't remedy the situation. Reply windows kept opening in this fashion.
Hopefully one or the other buttons at top left or right will work for any future problem situations. Thanks.

I can't send email containing pictures from iPhoto on my computer since using iCloud. with iCloud. How can I send them now that iCloud doesn't work with iPhoto?

I can't email pictures on my computer from my iphoto since using icloud.

Try www.apple.com/support/ and then put /icloud /iphoto /mail and tech articles in those, and links to their respective Community Discussion.
Mail support has a wizard to test your settings too.
Not sure what error or why you can't, maybe iCloud forum has better chance.

Do you mean you have a Macbook Pro (laptop) versus a Mac Pro (desktop)?
You can back up the MBP, restart using Command+R to boot into the Mavericks Recovery HD, erase the Mactintosh HD and Reinstall OS X. Then you can go through setup and configure it with your information and Apple ID. Mavericks should not prompt you for an Apple ID when it goes through the install since that OS is free.
One thing you might want to consider is asking the previous owner to unregister the MBP from his Apple ID if he previously registered it. Then you can register it under your Apple ID.
The previous owner should have wiped it clean and reinstalled the OS that came pre-installed before selling it.

I did not deactivate a photoshop cs6 before there was a new "C" hard drive installed on my computer and a Win7 Pro fresh install too. How can I activate photoshop on the new hardware if I can't deactivate it on the old hardware that is no longer available? Any help will be appreciated.

If it's the same machine (same CPU) there should not be any need to activate. The actiovation is tied to your CPU.

You can share the same Apple ID in
Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID: here
But for all other Apple services like:
FaceTime, iMessage, iCloud, etc, one of you should use a different Apple ID.

As I said in the other thread that you posted in the other forum, your friend clearly has not restored the iPad correctly. I suggest that you undertake another restore and start again.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Given what you've have described, your friend cannot have restored the iPad correctly. You need to decide whether you are willing to delete his contacts manually, or carry out another restore. Personally I think I would go for the restore.

't' and 's' in font GFS Didot don't correspond to selected font size. 't' is too small, and 's' is too big. Can this be corrected?

GFS Didot is nearest listed MUSE font in appearance to Adobe Caslon Pro, which is the font used in the book which the website is intended to promote. I would like to use Adobe Caslon Pro (I paid for it and it's on my computer, but not in the cloud). Is there any way to install Adobe Caslon Pro as a MUSE font choice in the cloud?
