"magnified" screen saver and internet screens

After hooking up my macbook pro to the AV setup at a conference to give a ppt presentation my screensaver and all my windows including internet are magnified. After getting on safari i have to drag the screen down and minimize it bc only 1/4 th of the page is showing on the screen. I cant figure out what i'm missing to fix this.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Also, check in System Preferences>Universal Access and make sure the Zoom wasn't turned on accidentally.
Good luck!

Save and Cancel are being cut off below the screen

Hi,
I'm trying to download a pdf that has opened in the Safari browser. Cmd Shft S for 'Save As.'
The "Save" and the "Cancel" buttons are cut off below the screen. This has happened in iTunes and I simply go to Window > Zoom and it's fixed. In Safari, I can't access the Zoom, it doesn't do anything. I end up having to hit "Return" just to get control of the screen back.
Here's how it looks...

HI,
Can you drag the bottom right corner of the Safari window to the left then click and hold the title bar and move the window to the right?
You can zoom in Safari on your keyboard, Command + or -

Screen Saver and Size of Background - Help, please!

Hello there!
I have a brand new Dell computer from Best Buy. With my last computer (Gateway), I was able to set up an automatic screen saver of a slideshow of pictures if my computer was not used for a certain amount of minutes.
With this new computer, I have set up the same settings, but the screen saver NEVER comes on. I have clicked everything I need to, accepted, and saved the settings, but it never works. Any ideas?
I decided to try and fix it myself, so I went into the Control Panel, Appearance and Personalization, Change Screen Saver, and then went into Power Settings to see if maybe the display wasn't working for this reason. I cannot remember what I did, but now the background picture is HUGE.
To fix this, I have gone into screen resolution and display/power settings, but everything seems to be set to "recommended", so I cannot figure out what happened to make the images so large suddenly.
1) Can you help me get the screen saver slideshow to activate?
2) How do I get my background pictures back to normal size?
Thank you so much for your help!!! I really appreciate it.

Wow, so sorry for the hype delayed response. it could be that your laptop was timing out for powersave before the screensaver would kick in. The best thing to do is go into your screen saver, set it to 1 minute and then let it sit for a minute without touching it (with it plugged in). It should kick in. Again, most laptops cut the monitor off after just a few minutes to conserve the power of the battery. I'm glad that the other solution worked for you =)

Screen saver and wallpaper

I want to use my own photos as the screen saver and wallpaper - how do I do this ?

Hi there soniastojanovic!
I have an article here that can tell you exactly how to do that:
Mac Basics: Change your desktop
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2478
Here are the instructions from the article:
Of course, you can turn any of your own photos or artwork into a desktop picture too. Here's how to do this:
From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
In the window, click Desktop & Screen Saver, then click the Desktop tab to display just the desktop preferences.
If you want to use a photo from your iPhoto Library, select Library in the left pane. Otherwise, select Choose Folder, navigate to and select the folder that contains your image, and click Choose.
In the right pane, click any thumbnail to place the image on the desktop.
Depending on the size of your chosen image, you can opt to tile or center it if it's small. Note: Your image will look pixelated or have jagged edges if it's too small. Or have the image fill the screen, or stretch to fill the screen. Just choose an item from the pop-up menu that appears above the thumbnails, the one next to the thumbnail of your current picture.
If an image is too small to display satisfactorily as a full screen image,
you can choose Tile from the pop-up menu.
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

Screen saver and screen sleep not working consistently

Recently with one of the most recent updates my screen saver and screen sleep stopped activating when they should. Sometimes I leave the room and come back an hour later only to find my screen is on and no screen saver. I have screen saver set for 5 minutes and screen sleep set for 10 minutes (regardless of battery or plugged in state). I have tried changing them and reserving to no avail. Any way to fix this?
Thanks.

When was the last time you restarted your computer or even repaired permissions?
Try trashing the ~/Library/Preferences/ com.apple.systempreferences.plist file and restarting the computer.

Screen Saver and Dock and Mail all not working properly

I'm helping my husband troubleshoot some issues he is having. His machine is a new (couple of months) Mac Pro Quad Intel with 10.6.2.
He has never been able to get the ScreenSaver to 'see' iPhotos. iPhotos completely quit launching today and I did everything I read on the boards, finally settling on deleting and reinstalling from the Snow Leopard disk. It works fine, but Screensaver still does not see it. I have deleted, the com.apple.screensaver caches and anything in preferences that had to do with screensaver including the plist. I restarted the machine and it made no difference, other than the hot corners finally started working.
It won't keep certain applications in the dock. Like Word. They disappear every time the machine is restarted. As above.. I have deleted the com.apple.doc.db and com.apple.dock.plist to no avail.
This just started today as well... When the mail has when the program has been Quit, with every 30 minutes set in the mail preferences, it will launch, every 30 minutes. The dock icon will bounce and Mail will ask for the password so it can check for new mail. But the program was not open for it to be checking for mail. Oddly, something like this is also happening on his old G5 sitting in the other room. The only thing common to them is they are on the same network and pulling email from the same ISP account. Though the G5 is no longer scheduled to actively get new mail at any time, it is for some reason self-launching. I have no idea why my mail was open on that machine when I saw it this afternoon, but there it was.
It is a lot of issues. He has been having issues since he got the machine and gets one resolved and then discovers another one. But the Dock and ScreenSaver he has never been able to resolve, Mail is a new issue. He has re-installed Snow Leopard 10.6.2 twice thinking something had become corrupted, I am using the same OS X on my machine and having no issues, I can see no difference in the settings. If I can't get some ideas from y'all here then I guess I am going to have to go to tech support because it seems to be one weird thing after another.

Even in big sky country, people must know where the Desktop resides. It's what's on the screen when all windows are closed. Thus, move the om.apple.screensaver.XXXXX.plist file in the ByHost subfolder out of there and put it on the Desktop. The next statement: +*System Preferences->Desktop & Screen Saver->and iPhoto should be available.*+ means open System Preferences, select the Desktop & Screen Saver prefPane (preference pane) and in the listing should appear iPhoto. It does on my machine. If not, then restart and see if the iPhoto folder appears in that prefPane.

hi I have been given my sons macbook 13'' A1181 it has a brocken screen so I have linked it to my dell screen and only get his old screen saver and the arrow but where ever I click nothing opens up It is my first time with an apple computer could anybody advise?

You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. In System Preferences>Display there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen.You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box.

All of a sudden I have a magnified screen but I just want normal 100% size. HELP

How do you adjust font size - I have a magnified screen for no reason.

To reset the zoom level, try
Ctrl+0 (''that's a zero'') or
View menu > Zoom > Reset
Does that make any difference?
If everything is magnified -- the page, the toolbars, Windows icons, etc. -- try this: close Firefox and right-click the shortcut (e.g., on the desktop or quick launch, whatever is relevant), choose Properties, then the Compatibility tab. Clear any settings/checkboxes there. Then restart Firefox. Does that help?

I love my N82 but the screen is too small to be useful as Sat Nav. Could anyone tell me if there is some sort of magnifying screen you can put over the phone so you can see it more clearly. Thanks for any advice.

Can anyone help me? Why does my ipad kick me out of FB? Sometimes to the 'settings' page and sometimes to the desk top? I would like to know why this happens and what I can check or change to make it stop. I have 50.8 GB of capacity available; it is version IOS 5.1.1; model MC497LL. It is WIFI and internet via AT&T? Can anyone give me some clues on what to do; or change in settings??? Thank you very much!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

CRM 2013 - "Save and Close" button behavnig like "Save and New"

Hi,
I am working in CRM 2013. I have a scenario in which I am saving new opportunity product record through javascript and preventing original save of CRM. Save is working fine. After save, I need to refresh the screen. So I have used "Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm"
to open newly created item in edit mode. When I click on "Save and Close" button on this new form in edit mode, instead of closing the opportunity product screen, it opens new entity form. So in short, after saving the record, if I click on "Save
and Close", it behaves like "Save and New".
Any one facing such issue?

Save & Close seems to behave like the Save & "Back" Button, so the form tries to return to the new form, that was opened before.
But I have no solution for this behavior...

Java and Internet Explorer automation

Hi,
I would like to create a routine in java that would simulate a user browing the web.
Ex: A user vistiting a certain page, clicking on a few links etc...
Is their a java library that can server as a bridge beetween java and internet explorer in order to automate this process.
Thank you.

You want to see it all happening on the screen? If so, you could maybe look into IECanvas or some other Java/COM bridge that would let you embed IE in the Java app. I'm not sure what kind of API is available such that would allow for that.
Another idea is java.awt.Robot which would let you move the mouse and enter text and click on things on any application, but the problem here is that you'd need to know exact coordinates to click on. You could use it to grab screen shots if you can deal with the image manipulation to figure out what is where.

Accessing Home Hub 4 with windows 8.1 and Internet...

Hello
I can no longer access my home hub manager wirelessly running windows 8.1 and Internet Explorer 11 from my toshiba laptop by either typing in the IP address or by http://bthomehub.home/. I can still access it by either method from a laptop running windows XP. I have Infinity and Home Hub 4a. This problem has arose recently and I did upgrade from windows 8 last week so could this be the problem. Has anyone any suggestions?
Regards
Adrian
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Seems to be a Network Adapter problem for most people, and usually updating the driver works.
If you have just installed 8.1/8.1 pro, you will typically need to install your motherboard and other driver software. After you have done this, most people can access the internet, but have problems with the bt hub ip/url access link.
To update the Network Adapter(s) use the following steps:
1. search for Device Manager, and open it up
2. Select/expand Network adapters, and the adapter(s) on your machine should show up.
3. Right click on the adapter(s) that appear and select 'Update Driver Software'
4. It should come up with 2 options - select 'Browse my computer for driver software'
5. The next screen should come up with the default location for your machine, so just click the next button on the bottom right of this window.
6. Your network adapter(s) will appear, and just select 'update driver software' and the latest version will be installed.
7. That should fix most problems right away - if not, your machine (including hub and router) may need switched off and back on.
I can't guarantee it will fix every problem, but the most common problem seems to be that the latest network adapter drivers needs a manual update after installing 8.1/8.1 pro, even after you install your motherboard / ethernet drivers.
If you still experience problems accessing bt hub or internet, you can try this additional step:
1. On your keyboard press Start + X keys (or microsoft logo key + X)
2. This should open up system options dialogue box at the bottom left of your screen.
3. Select Command Prompt (Admin) option.
4. In command screen (old DOS screen) type the following: ipconfig /release (there is a space between config and /)
5. This will release your ip address back into the network and cut your connection (don't worry)
6. Whilst still in command screen, flush the dns cache - type: ipconfig /flushdns (space here again also)
7. type exit to get out of command screen.
8. Switch off your pc, and switch it off at the wall, also switch off router & bthub.
9. Wait a few mins before flicking switches back on at the wall only - dont switch on pc yet - wait a min or so then switch on pc.
10. You may need to run through the updating network adapter drivers again from the steps at the top - although this should not be needed.
