My desk top is larger than the screen, how can i make it fit all on one screen ?

My desktop does not fit on the screen. It is set to the highest resolution, but when I move the mouse to the far right or left, there is more desktop that shifts over. How do I correct this ?

Are you zoomed in at all? The default key for zooming should be Control. Hold Control and use the mouse scroll wheel (or 2 fingers on the trackpad) and zoom out. If that's not working, open System Preferences > Mouse (or Trackpad) > and set a "Zoom while holding..." default key and try it.
If that doesn't work, try using different resolutions in Display settings in System Preferences and see which one works.

IMac monitor desktop appears to be larger than the screen

Went out to walk the dog and when i came back in the iMac monitor desktop appears to be larger than the screen size have tried to readjust in the display settings but nothing there helps.

you have the Zoom feature turned on. Go to system preferences, Accesibility and turn it off.

EMac desktop is larger than the screen / display ????? Help

My oldest mac, an eMac 1 Ghz G4, 640 mb SDRAM, running 10.4.11 has had a screen display problem for months now. The graphics card is ATI Radeon 7500 (CRT - 1280 x 960 @ 72 Hz, 32 bit, no core image supported). It is over 7 years old.
The desktop is larger than the screen, so it is a hassle to constantly have to move the desktop around.
I'm not sure what it started after.
I have tried changing all the display resolutions, colors and freq to no avail. I also re-calibrated the screen without change. Updates to 10.4 have not changed it.
Is the graphics cards failing ?? There is no distortion or lines on the screen. The kids can still play games on it fine.
ANY thoughts ??

This is a real long shot, but is Zoom by chance turned on in the Universal system preference? If so, turn that off and see if that makes a difference.
If not, you can try resetting PRAM (restart the system and hold down the p, r, command and option keys until the system gives its startup chime a second time) and see if that does anything useful.
If neither of those possibilities help, I'll have one other suggestion, so post back and let us know.
Regards.

I also have the same problem. I've tried all fixes listed in other forums and nothing works. Running windows Vista 32 bit. Any working solutions yet? Tried every solution listed for the cmd prompt. Turned off antivirus and spyware. Rebooting about 100 times. Nothing works.

Some possibilities:
If you have a Magic Mouse do Control+stroke downwards on the mouse.
Check System Preferences>Displays is set to the correct resolution
Check System references>Accesability and make sure Zoom isn't turned on.

Hi,
you can find documentation for Designer under this website
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/10.0/documentation.html#task=4,5&module=2
In Designer you can use the JavaScript API of Acrobat.
So the Devnet for Acrobat is also a good source.

How can iPhone videos sent to another iPhone be made clear like they were recorded even though it sent as a text. with iMessage it's clear but when it's not available the quality *****, how can I make a received vid clear again??? help

This is determined by your carrier. SMS/MMS is a poor man's email and by that I mean SMS/MMS has major restrictions and limitations compared to email but is a cash cow for cell phone carriers.
Upload the video to YouTube when connected via wifi and send the YouTube link via text.

Why would the display be larger than the screen?

My Mac has started opening with a screen that is larger than the display. (I may not have the terminology quite right) Here's a non-techie description...if the phyical display is 1680x1050, Finder or Safari open up at, say, 1720x1200. If I want to have the toolbar visible at the top, I cannot see the dock at the bottom. If I want the Apple to be at the top left corner, I cannot see the time at the top right. In both cases it is one or the other. Restarting has no effect on this annoyance.

Try holding down control and scrolling down (or up, it depends). That should zoom down to fit. I assume you've checked the preferences to see that you have the right size selected.

All of a sudden my diplay appears to be larger than the screen. The display scrolls with the mouse. How to correct?

My screen scrolls with the mouse to show the entire display. Looks like the display is larger than the monitor. Have no idea what teh cause ws but have been unable to correct. Any suggestions?

Went to universal access, turned off zoom and it corrected the problem.
Thank you.

Some, possibly, but shouldn't be a problem.

Much of it is OSX and other things needed to run your Mac.
See The Storage Display for an explanation, and don't miss the link to Where did my Disk Space go?

All files larger than the screen aligns to the right by default

Hello,
I looked around from the existing solution pool but could not find one so here I go;
PROBLEM; All files or programs(Numbers, Pages, Finder, Web brousers, Itunes etc)that do not horizontally fit the sceen(ie requires horizontal scroll bar) in my macbook pro moves to the far right by default.   Hense I cannot view the program on the left side unless make it all small enough to fit the screen. Is there a solution to this?
I am fully updated on the platform 10.6.8.
Thanks.

Thanks for the tips Captfred.
As you mention it works while I hold Control button and this is helpful.   Now is there also a permanent way to keep the screen aligned to the left(or the alignment of files on the screen stays as positioned by the user) without holding the button?
Thanks.

My iPod display is larger than the screen, how do,I change it back?

I don't know how this happened. It was fine then I pressed the home button to get out of an app and now the display is huge and it's hard to navigate around the screen.

Never mind, we figured it out. Needed to double tap with three fingers to zoom back out.

As i turn the phone to the side, how can i make the screen turn also?

i cant find in the settings anywhere. my screen will not move as i adjust the phone. please let me know where in the settings i can change this

What is displayed on the screen when you are trying to turn it? Can you check Control Center to see if you have the Rotation Lock activated. Some apps do not support a change to the screen orientation.

How can I make picture fit into screen

There's a picture on the Internet that I want to print, but it's slightly too tall to fit into my screen. I've tried changing the resolution. I've also gone to Apple>System Preferences>Displays>Geometry, but nothing there does the job. If I could rotate the image 90 degrees, I believe I could get the ENTIRE image on my screen, but the Rotate button only makes the picture tilt slightly. The Height adjustment doesn't help, either.
Is there a way to rotate the picture 90 degrees, or is there any other way get the picture to fit into my screen? Yes, I've also dragged (stretched-out) the picture as far as I could.

There's a picture on the Internet that I want to
print, but it's slightly too tall to fit into my
screen...
The answer to your question depends a several things.
Changing the screen resolution or "geometry" does
not change how something is printed. So is your
question the right question. Are you trying to make
it "fit into your screen"? Or are you trying to
make it print on a single sheet of paper?
NOTE: If the goal is to fit it on the screen, there
are many ways you can do that. Maybe the easiest is
to select Print in whatever program you are using to
see the image. In the Print dialog window, click the
Save as PDF... button. This will allow you to save
the page printout as a PDF file. Double-clicking on
the file should open it in Preview app. In Preview,
you can adjust the "magnification" to make it all fit
on your screen.
Thanks for the almost instantaneous reply. I've copied it because it contains useful information that I might need in the future; for now, however, I somehow managed to stumble into a solution while waiting for a reply. Oh, now I realize where I had gone wrong, and why I was finally succesful. At first, I tried to copy the screen by using the COMMANDSHIFT4. And, as you know, when using this system, you can only print what is on the screen. Later, well, I'm already a little fuzzy on what I did, but I didn't use the "Screen Capture" method. Thanks, again.

How can standarize the settings of Firefox, by ADM is not working as it only modifies the registry, how can I configure firefox for all my users ?

I used the adm from Frontmotion but it only works with the FirefixCE version, I need to force Firefox configuration in my domain with a standar version of Firefox, how can I do this, it could be by GPO or logon script

Most YouTube content requires the Flash plugin. Sometimes it's necessary to uninstall then reinstall that plugin.
Uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Very important to uninstall the currently installed plugin first.
Now launch Safari and try a video.
If you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.
You may also need to delete the cache associated with Safari .
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy/paste: ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
Click Go the move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari. Try a video.
