My screen display has a huge gap on the bottom

My Mac book Pro is not displaying the screen properly. There is a huge gap, about 2 1/2" on the bottom of the screen. I know I can open full screen but I don't want to have to do that. It should open like it did before. I recnetly was at the Apple store, open training session and the Apple employee was helping me with a movie. He kept adjusting the format of the movie. Since that day, my screen is not opening properly. Can someone help me fix this?
Thanks,
Karen

Try going to System Preferences/Display and see what the setting is. Set it to 1024x728 (stretched) and see what happens.

  • The left hinge has an odd gap and the bottom case has clicking noise.

    I just noticed that my 19-day-old macbook pro has an uneven hinge gap.
    And the bottom case has squeaky noise when I lifting the macbook pro with one hand;
    as well as when I pressing lightly where the spots near the batteries that under the trackpad.
    Should I go to retail store to get repair or do something?

    Wow!  I think I had this same issue just last night.
    I was cleaning my macbook pro retina on the outside.  Then I opened it up and was wiping dust off the monitor and I can't pinpoint exactly when, but the colors changed suddenly.  It looked super strange, it was like green halo's and it looked worse when looking at it at an angle.  Of course I took no pictures!!!  I was freaking out that my 2 grand laptop was busted and I somehow removed a protective film or something.
    But I digress...  The image looked very green and spacey, it was almost a neat effect.  After about 5 minutes it started to look a little more digital though.  There were straight lines of this halo effect on the edges and top.  After about 10 minutes it turned into a predominate issue with the blacks on screen.  I could open a web browser and it was unnoticable on a white background.  After about 15 minutes, you could only barely see the green cloud effect if you looked at the monitor from an extreme angle.  After about 20 minutes, it was completely back to normal, I almost feel paranoid like I see a halo or something strange.  But I believe that might be all in my head now.
    So yerp, lemme know what you guys figure out.

    Hi, While writing an email online using Firefox 3.6.3, I was using one of the "CTRL+left or right arrow" to move the cursor along the text. I must have pressed some other key because the display has become huge - and I can't scroll vertically or horizontally, which makes using the Mail pages of Hotmail impossible. I have since logged in using MSFT Explorer and it works fine. This problem occurs only on the Mail page of Hotmail Live not on the home page or others.
    Could you please let me know if this is a problem with Firefox, or if you have any advice on how to reset the appearance of Hotmail in Firefox?
    == This happened ==
    Just once or twice
    == While I was compiling an email in Hotmail Live

    Wow, lightning fast and absolutely right!
    Thank you so much!

    Thank you for the additional information.
    Yes, the product number would be helpful.  Please don't provide the Serial #, however.
    I believe your problem may be that the monitor is not compatible with Win 8.1.  The only updates that are available are for Win XP and Vista.  You can find this information in the link that I provided under the section titled "Software Update".
    I suggest contacting LG Customer Service to see if they can help you.

  • Why does the Safari window sometimes open with a 1/4 inch gap along the bottom when the desktop shows through?

    I am using a 15 inch Macbook Pro i7 2.66 GHZ. 8 GB ram. 500 GB hard drive. OS 10.6.8. All updates are done on a regular basis.
    Sometimes when I open Safari the window leaves a small 1/4 inch gap along the bottom. In this gap you can see the desktop. This is instead of the Safari window taking up the entire screen. When you click on the green button on the top left then it will open in the entire screen and the 1/4 inch gap is gone. This does not happen all the time but is annoying and I don't feel it should be happening. Does anyone know the solution so this stops happening and has anyone else ran into this?

    it's the space for your dock. if your mouse enters that area, the dock will appear. if the window just went to the bottom, it would always initiate the dock whenever you had your mouse at the bottom of the conent window. This is un intuitive and I'm sure apple did this so you wouldn't initiate the dock.
    This has become more intuitive in Lion and the dock pops up when you're at the absolute bottom of the page. which is what Sig and myself are both using.
    I've also noticed it will adjust the window to the content. are the pages you're going to small in content and therefore wouldn't stretch all the way to the bottom of your screen? like a login page or a splash page? I have notice maximize will adjust the width of the window to ASC even after I had it taking up the whole screen before toggling the green button. Hope this helps!

  • Gap at the bottom of the page (IE7 & IE9)

    Hello,
    I'm having problems removing the gap at the bottom of my page. The gap only appears when viewed via IE7 and EI9.
    http://www.soulstarevents.co.uk/be_an_exhibitor.html
    Many thank in advance for any help.

    Hello Gramps,
    Thank you so much for your help with this issue. When I first added the code as you had suggested I was previewing the page in the browser labs, which was still showing the gap at the bottom of the page in both IE7 and 9. I have only IE8 on my system, which has always shown no gap, so I telephoned a friend to view the live page and the gap has now gone.
    Once again many thanks for your help.

    My big old IPod is stuff with an error stating Disk mode at top with a big check  mark in middle of screen and an OK to disconnect at the bottom. Please help I have a lot of reggae music I can't lose.

    Ok so I've done what you said and this is what it's come back ....
    I don't know that these are the errors , but they're the things which don't look right ...
    Throughout the shut down there is a recurring line ;
    It says ;
    Com.apple.launchd 1 0x100600e70.anonymous.unmount 301 PID still valid
    Then there are 2 more which I think are related ;
    Com.apple.securityd 29 PID job has I overstayed its welcome , forcing removal.
    Then the same with fseventd 48 and diskarbitrationd 13
    Oh and on Launchd1 : System : stray anonymous job at shut down : PID 301 PPID13 PGID 13 unmount...
    Then the last process says "about to call: reboot (RB_AUTOBOOT).
    Continuing...
    And stops ...
    Hope this means something to you ... Thanks again for your help so far :-)

  • Gap on the bottom side of the phone n95

    there is a gap on the bottom side of the phone and its big can nokia care fix it

    lol don't ask us mate, this is a user to user forum, we don't actually have any direct contact with Nokia representatives, and certainly not Nokia Care. all you can do is telephone your local Nokia Care Centre and ask them if they can repair it for you.
    please throw some kudos our way, it would mean a lot to us
    If you found this or someone's comments helpful or like what that person has to say, please give some Kudos to their post!

  • Hi. I have a 2008 macbook pro 15.4 inch. Not abused but the hinge is stiff and the lid/ screen is starting to de-laminate at the bottom edge. Any ideas on how to make the hinge work a little more freely and how to re-seal the screen to the lid?

    When you have kernel panics, the pertinent information is in the panic report.
    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.

  • 25px gap at the bottom of Sticky Footer

    Hey guys, could someone please help me get rid of the 25px gap at the bottom of my sticky footer?
    here's the site:
    http://tylertx.businesscatalyst.com/
    I'm using a version of http://www.cssstickyfooter.com
    If you have any ideas i would love to hear them.

    Thank you so much. This was driving me nuts and i looked through all the css and html a million times.
    This is a trial site right now and it looks like Business Catalyst sneaks that in after you upload it to the server. That's why I couldn't find it. Didn't think to look at it from the browser. a
    I guess once I launch the site adobe will remove it.
    thanks again for your help.

  • Please help. Does anyone have a solution re: After the latest update my display has really huge fonts and is unusable

    After the latest update my display on my iphone has really huge fonts and is unusable.
    I can't even get the swipe bar.

    The easiest way to turn off the zoom accessibility feature is to connect your phone to iTunes on your computer.  In the Summary pane, click the "Configure Universal Access..." button.  On the next screen, under "Seeing", select "Neither" and click OK.
