My dashboard doesn't fit the screen when I plug in a second monitor...

How do I get it so that it fits the same when using a dual monitors as it does when using just my MacBook? (2008 macbook running Snow Leopard)

Workspace doesn't fit the screen anymore...

Hello.
Since today (and Mac OS X's update I installed this morning, I guess), my Photoshop CS6 workspace doesn't fit the screen of my 12 inch Cintiq (connected to a 2014 Macbook Air). No matter what I do, it keeps it wrong.
Trying to set the photoshop window to the whole Cintiq screen with the "green" Mac OS corner button, this is what I get:
Hitting F won't do the trick, this is what it gets me:
I tried to clear the Photoshop prefs, without success. I checked for updates and found there was a Photoshop update I had not yet installed, and I did install it, to no success. Needless to say, this makes my copy of Photoshop most unusable, which is a really big problem for an illustrator like me. I really wish I can solve this as soon as possible.
Thanks.

Yeah, no results. Still the same.
If I take my main window and move it up by myself, it's just gonna stay there until the next click somewhere, then it gets back to this wrong placement,.

Game doesn't fit the screen, iPod menu sideways

I have a 4th generation iPod Nano. The problem here comes from the game Brain Challenge.
This is probably a very confusing and complicated explanation of the problem, so I've provided photos of the problem at the bottom of this post.
When I start Brain Challenge the game video is not aligned with the screen so that part of the game is cut off when I play. The game should be displayed on the screen horizontally (with the ipod held horizontally - as in Klondike), however my problem is that Brain Challenge is displayed with a vertical orientation (with the ipod held vertically), meaning the right-hand side of the Brain Challenge interface is cut off by the edge of the screen and there is a large black area at the bottom of the screen (see photo #1).
To make matters worse, when I exit Brain Challenge the orientation of all the ipod menus are askew as well (photo #2). With the ipod held vertically, the ipod menus are now displayed sideways, with anything at the "bottom" of the menu being cut off by the edge of the screen, and a large empty black space at the bottom of the screen. I have found that the only way to correct this and reorient the ipod menu display is to go to Cover View (even resetting the ipod does not resolve it). When I exit Cover View everything is back to normal.
While I have been able to fix the display of the ipod menus when this happens, the problem I described above reoccurs each time I attempt to play Brain Challenge. Maybe the game thinks I have a 3rd generation Nano?
I have uninstalled the game from my ipod and reinstalled it with no better luck. The only other software I have added to my ipod is Ms. Pac-man.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

I would do a Restore in iTunes to erase the iPod and initialize its software. Then re-sync your iTunes library as desired, including adding that game. See if it plays better.
If not, and you don't have any similar problems when you play any other games (or at any other time when using the iPod), you should report the problem about that game through the iTunes Store. You can do so using iTunes by selecting the iTunes Store in the sidebar, then clicking on your iTunes Store user ID at the upper right corner. This will give you your account summary view. Click on +Purchase History+. From there, you can find the specific purchase that has this game and +Report a Problem+ to explain the issues. If desired, you can request a refund, because the game does not work as expected.
After doing the Restore, if you notice other similar issues (not just a problem in that game), you may want to have the iPod looked at under the one-year warranty.

Workbook doesn't fit the window when launched from Portal

Hello SCNer's,
When a workbook is launched from Portal it opens to the right side of the window and is minimized.
It fits the window once maximized, are there any settings available which can defaultly set the workbook to fit the window.
Thanks SCNer's.

Hi,
Do you mean by executing the Query in portal or executing the Workbook.
Protal setting for the number of columns/rows are decided by 0ANALZER_PATTERN web template. Which is the default web template.
Check the settings in the Default Web Template used.
Thanks & Regards,
Namrata

Websites i search are weirdly shaped and are not fitting the screen well.

Whenever i open something, It doesn't fit the screen well and i constantly have to scroll right and left when i am doing work. Also on top, the tabs are much larger than they were before and zooming in or out does not affect the tab size.

Set the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx pref on the <b>about:config</b> page to 1.0 and if necessary, adjust layout.css.devPixelsPerPx starting with 1.0 in 0.1 or 0.05 steps (1.0 or 0.9) to make icons show correctly.

When I plug in an external monitor, I lose sound

The speakers don't work on the laptop when I plug in an external monitor. When I run a check, it says they are working properly.

Tomandiris, welcome to the forum.
When requesting help, you should always include the make/model of the computer and/or monitor. This information is necessary for us to review the specifications of the them.
It may be that the laptop is expecting to find external speakers. Since I am new to laptops, I will check further when I know the model.

HT204291 When I airplay my ipad, it doesn't fit the tv screen

I have ipad air and using toshiba tv. When I mirror the image to the tv screen, it doesn't "fit to screen". Are other people having this problem?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Mirroring won't fill the TV screen. The iPad has an aspect ratio of 4:3 and the iPhone 4S or prior an aspect ratio of 3:2, neither of these will fit exactly into a TV screen which as an aspect ratio of 16:9. The Apple TV will not zoom the mirrored image, because it may well cut off information which is situated at the top or bottom of the screen.
You may wish to try each of the settings in ‘Settings > Audio & Video > Adjust for AirPlay overscan’ for the best setting that suits you.

The latest version doesn't fit my screen properly. How can this be fixed?

troubleshooting QuickTime errors with After Effects

Why are the apps on my IPad scattered across the whole thing and when I open them they turn to little rectangles in the corner of the screen and I can't even use them or tap on anything. Also when I turn my iPad it doesn't flip the screen over

Hi The next thing to do is to Restore back to Factory Settings this will get rid of any bugs . After Restore use same Apple ID /Password then you should get all your Apps & data back If you still have this problem make an Appointment at Apple Store . Cheers Brian

Firefox 7, mozilla doesn't open in the proper size where it fits the screen.

Where before it opens to fit the screen (not fullscreen) so now I always have to click the maximize button. Didn't happen before the update, how do I fix this?

Try ensuring when it closes it is already in the maximum view. When you close it
* use '''Firefox Button -> [x]Exit'''
I do not think there were any recent changes that should affect how Firefox opens and closes when upgraded from Firefox 6 to 7 or 7.0.1

Picture can not be resized to fit the screen, so i can only see half of my face when use it as wallpaper!! Suckss!!

picture can not be resized to fit the screen, so i can only see half of my face when use it as wallpaper!! How can I change it？？

There's a bug with the wallpaper. One thing that helps a bit, go to the photos app, find your pic, 'send' it to be wallpaper. You have a bit more control although not all the function you're used to.
No idea when or if Apple will fix it.

Can it be set up to automatically resize web pages so they fit to the screen when enlarged

On my HTC1x when you enlarged the web page on the phone the layout updated to fit the screen to avoid having to manually slide across the page can this be done on the Z1?

Opera Classic browser does that... and the new version of Opera also is able to do it, but it has to be in desktop mode with turbo off..
Chrome only adjust it with a single double tap
And finally the Small Browser I have in my Acro S also has text reflow when you zoom in... Maybe you can also do it with the web browser found in your Small Apps...

HT4623 Is anyone else having issues with scaling down photos to fit the screen for home and lock screens with ios7??

Is anyone else having issues with scaling down photos to fit the screen for home and lock screens with ios7?? Installed ios7 this morning. Tried to use one of my photos from camera roll as background for lock screen and I can't scale the photo to fit the screen. Never had a problem before and now when I pinch the photo to get it to the right size of the screen, it won't stay that way. The photo is enlarged way beyond the screen size so it doesn't look right. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hello, cliffiapp4.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are the steps that I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue.
Resolution
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
iOS: Not responding

Battery failure although my battery doesn't fit the exchange program?

hello there!
i know there have been a lot of threads about the battery life and failures in the macbook pro but i don't know which one fits my case...
my mbp is a week 13 and has no problems at all. i don't use the battery that often - by now i have 14 cycles.
my battery's serial number doesn't fit the exchange program but today happened this odd thing:
i used my mbp on battery for less than two hours and the battery symbol said that i still have about 50 minutes of battery power. all of a sudden it turned off (as described in many other threads) without any warning and i couldn't turn it on without plugging in the power cable. when i turned it on it started from deep sleep mode (dimmed desktop).
...of course i did reset the pram and stuff - but what is going on? as i said i don't meet the exchange program for faulty batteries but still it doesn't seem to work proper.
what can i do?
thanks in advance, guys!
j.

hi and thank you all for your replies so far!
over the weekend i took some screenshots showing the various total of mAh. i have no idea if that is normal like this? and the battery is behaving normal again, no random shutdown... you can find the images under the following link...
http://www.propaganda-pixel.de/mbp/mbp.htm
in addition i added a photo of my magsafe... now that it comes to the battery issue i got slightly concerned if this crimpy cord should be like this (not that this thing starts to melt on me!).
when i transport my mbp i wind the cord around those two hooks and i never pull the magsyfe by the cord out. but still it looks like this.
the power cord is from a week 10 macbook pro which i got exchanged for a week 13 but i had to keep the cord...
i know, this has nothing to do with the battery issue and no, i'm not paranoid - just now that i started this thread i thought i could add it...
so my questions are:
- shall i request a new battery considering the various mAh indications?
- shall i request a new power cord? or does mine look normal?
why i ask is because i don't want to request something when there is no need for a replacement.
thank you all!
