My computer words are too big

I hope I describle this correctly. I turned on my MACBOOK Pro this morning and everything looks huge on it. Nothing fits anymore. The web pages are too big, the lettering is huge, and everything just looks plan fat. Does this make sense? What would have happened? I didn't change any fonts or hit any buttons that I know of. I have tried turning the whole computer off to see if that helps, nothing.
Does any know how to fix this or know what I am talking about?
Thank you very much.

jh,
Try opening up System Preferences, click the Displays icon and select a screen resolution that puts your monitor back to normal.

Pages and icons (in the tabs and navigation bars) are too big due to 22 upgrade

Due to FF22 upgrade (from 21), all my icons (from webpages, addons and regular buttons) and tabs have got bigger and that's really ugly because of the low resolution of the images. Also considering I have a rather big number of tabs I can just see a smaller number of them and it's annoying.
The zoom of the page is now bigger (given that I has already zoom in in version 21, now the pages are too big and I have to zoom out a page that was correctly zoomed in 21)
Surprisingly the menu bar is intact !
Is that a new graphic convention ? Is there an update of something like GTK+ in this new version that could be responsible of this bug ? And mainly is there anyway to fix it ?
My screen resolution is 1920*1080. And for example with chromium or FF21 the menu have the perfect size.
PS: Sorry for my poor English.

All these confusing explanations on how to fix something that never should have been changed. It just pisses me off that I now have to get used to inferior graphics because someone thought it would be cool to screw with settings people have obviously been using for who knows how long. I have tried simply zooming down and that doesn't work. I am not going to enter a bunch of techie gobbledeegook and screw up my whole internet experience. I am just PISSED!!!!
How about another version to correct this? Hey, if someone wants to stay with this one, fine. At least give us people who aren't tech wizards an option to stick with what we have and what we have been happy with for years. Now, excuse me.. I need to get away from this.. I am so f***king pissed!!!
30 minutes later: Okay, I went to about:config and a window came up .. pretty much telling me my computer would blow sky high and take me with it. I'm just an old lady who WAS passing my time browsing and playing a few games. Oops, I'm getting mad again. PS I NEVER talk like this, but this has ruined my whole fricken day.
15 minutes later: I decided to give up. I went to play some monopoly at my favorite game site and the pop up window with the game board was unplayable. The board was way down the window and not complete. So, I went back and despite all the warnings went back to Version 21. I have used Firefox for years and have sworn by it and defended it and given it my best reviews. up until now. I absolutely don't want to quit FF, but I don't know all the tech stuff, I guess is required to change formats back to what you are used to. I still can't believe FF would make a drastic change across the board without warning or giving a choice. If I didn't know how to downgrade, I wouldn't be able to use my PC to help me get through each day. Why why why?

I need to downsize phots to publish on a website but they are too big . In help it says when I select a photo it gives me the option to downsize. It does NOT. ?

I can't figure out how to downsize my photos for a website that won't take anything above 3MB my Photos are 4MB. Even when I send them in an email, they are too big to send more than 3 at a time and I don't know how to fix it! Help says that when I select a photo it gives me the option to downsize. It does NOT?????

This is the iPhoto for iOS forum. Are you asking about iPhoto on your Mac?
In iPhoto on your Mac select Export and you will have the option to select a size for your photo.
In iPhoto for iOS this capability is not there. I use PhotoForege2 on my iPad to resize my photos to meet the requirements you describe.

Java.lang.exception: word is too big

Hi everybody!
I have a problem need your help. At present I have a server-client application, server running on Linux enviroment, client running on Window enviroment. After a period of time, there is a exception thrown to console: java.lang.Exception: word is too big, try to use less letter ..... And at that time, no more client can connect to client, however clients which connected to server from before still run as normal. Please help to fix this. Thank you very much

I can not upload the source code here because it's so big. Before I have never ever met this error. Nearly I have a new server linux machine, and I run my program on this machine, as a result I have had this problem. I say I can catch this exception means I try to trace it by in catch and throw but nothing can be catched. And "word is too big, try to use less letters..." is not mine. I saw it in console. At first, I don't know why client can not connect to server, so I try to find out it in console mode and as you know I find out this exception. If anybody have ever met this error. Please explain it to me and help me to resolve it. Thanks

How do you set the default magnification for Acrobat. All documents that I open enlarge to 174% and are too big.

How do you set the default magnification for Acrobat. All documents that I open enlarge to 174% and are too big. I see how to change the size after the document is open by going to File/properties/initial view and saving this setting. I want all documents to open at 100% when they are first opened. Can I set this as a default view?

Hey Kris,
You might go to Edit> Preferences> Zoom
Do this without opening any particular PDF so that it applies to the program itself and not just one document.
Try this and then let me know.

Form fields appear normal on my computer, but are too large on client's computer

I recently created a fillable PDF using Acrobat Pro for a client. I have done this many times before, and never had any issues with formatting. On my computer, the fields appear perfect, but on the client's computer they are too large and obscure the surrounding text. Please see the first screenshot for reference. Notice the large white form field on the left side. He has viewed the document both on a Mac (in Preview) and on a PC (Acrobat Reader) and had the same problem. The following is a screenshot of the same file on my computer:
On my computer, the name field appears to fill normally. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening, and what I can do to fix it?
Thanks!
Jeanne

That person is using Preview and not Adobe Reader or Acrobat. Preview's support for PDF forms is dismal and it should not be used. It actually corrupts PDF forms (and other PDFs) in a number of ways, so that particular file should not be used again. If they don't want to install Reader, there's not much you can do.

IPhone Earbuds are too big and uncomfortable

I love my iPhone but the earbuds are too big to fit comfortably in my ears. When I work out or do any movement at all the buds fallout which defeats the purpose of listening to music on my iPhone. Does anyone know of any earbuds or headsets that I can buy that work better with the iPhone? I've googled the web and lots of people are having this same problem, but I have yet to find a solution.

Photos Are Too Big

Good morning.
I've just started exploring the possibility of making a photo album in iPhoto. When I place a photo on a full page, the photos are too big for the 'frame'- that is, the frame crops part of my photos off. I have tried using the resizing tool but find that the photos are already resized to their smallest.
Is there another way to deal with this problem?
Thanks,
BurntMonkey

John:
iPhoto puts up that warning when the resolution of the image falls below 180 dpi. A lot would depend on how far it falls below. They will not appear as good as they do on screen but that goes for all of the photos. The monitor display usually has more contrast and snap than the printed version. But that's not to mean the printed version doesn't or won't look good.
You can approximate the dpi of the photo for the frame that's giving the warning. The pages are 8.5 x 11. Estimate the size of the frame and divide the frame's dimension into the pictures corresponding pixel dimension.
What are the pixel dimensions of a typical photo that's giving you the warning sign and what page layout/frame are the in?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

ODI-40406: Bytes are too big for array error

There is a possibility of mismatch of datatype, that can cause the problem.
Say in ODI model, you have defined a 'Date type' field to be stored as 'String' however at the time of mapping in 'Interface', no conversion happens (from date to string) for this particular object. This causes the problem.
The original query remains valid at DB side (fires for datetype) however fails while integrating (anticipating String which may be longer than defined in modelbecause of your NLS setting in DB). Therefore the best way would be to apply conversion for that particular field (in this case, use TO_CHAR(Date type,'Desired Date Format').

ODI-40406: Bytes are too big for array

I am getting the following error: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: ODI-40406: Bytes are too big for array
I am trying to a file to file mapping and all of my columns match in size. Does anyone have any ideas what this problem could be? I am getting an error when it tries to perform an integration step while trying to create the target table. I am assuming it is something wrong with one of my datastores

Can someone help! PDF export failed claims "pages are too big" they are 8x10??

Can someone help! PDF export failed claims "pages are too big" they are 8x10??
I'm trying to export an 100 page magazine, just a small proof right now and I've done this a million times. There are no errors, all my links are good but still it will not save.
Can anyone help!

Hi marthah,
I'd love to help, but need a little more information to go on. Are you converting from or to PDF, and where is this error occurring (in Acrobat, InDesign, or somewhere else)? What operating system/browser are you using?
Thanks,
Sara

Which operating system are you running? Not sure, click the apple on the left of the menu bar, the click about this mac. It will say version 10.6.x or 10.7.x.

I keep hearing that I can't email videos from iPhoto because they are too big. What I don't understand is that I was able to send videos via email in the past. Why?

I keep hearing that I can't email videos from iphoto because they are too big. What I don't understand is that I have emailed videos via email in the past. Why is that?

Look at your settings iPhoto>Preferences>Accounts
and make changes here or add your email account if not in the list
One thing to look at for sure is the SMTP sever name, I think by default it fills it in as smtp.me.com or some such, which may not be your email outgoing server.
