My screen picture is tio big for my screen. Looks like if it's a 17" display!

I have a macBook PRO 13" 2011 and all has been fine. But now the picture is lager than my screen. I have to scroll around, can't ser the whole picture at once?
What can I do?

Click the Apple logo in the top left corner and go to System Preferences. Under Hardware, go to Displays, and select the top resolution (1280x800). I'm assuming that's all that's happened; the resolution has been changed.

  • Qosmio F10: Monitor screen looks like an Andy Warhol picture

    I am currently having problems with my monitor screen looking like an Andy Warhol picture. I have resorted to going through the Product Recovery DVD-ROM for my Qosmio F10/G10 Laptop in the hope that reverting it back to the factory settings would solve the problem but it hasn't.
    The screen breaks down after the Windows welcome screen, leaving me with my desktop all Andy Warhol like (i.e. blocks of pixilated colour at the edges of the graphics). I have tried to reset the resolution which solves the problem to an almost acceptable level but on a temporary basis, because the problem re-appears again when I re-boot the laptop.
    I think that it is something to do with the Windows Multimedia Operating system that was preinstalled on my computer (so no recovery disc). The reasoning behind this assumption is that I put a DVD film into the Multimedia that is part of Windows XP and the film is a moving Andy Warhol video.
    I put the same DVD into the WinDVD that came as a Toshiba additional content and the DVD is perfect! My reasoning is, that if there was something wrong with the hardware of the Laptop, then all DVD reading programs would react the same way, but as they do not, it must be a programming (or operating system problem).
    Am I on the right lines? Is there a way to solve the problem via a downloadable file?

    Thanks guys for your replies, sorry if my question is confusing, but I couldn't think of any other way of describing it without the use of a screen dump to show you.
    At the moment I haven't got another monitor to try, even though this looks as though it would have been the easiest option. I shall start asking round to see if I can borrow one to eliminate that variable.
    However I will try to reinstall and to update "Graphic Drivers" to get rid out of this display problem.
    Thanks to all.

  • Screen looks like it is too big to fit ipad 1

    Screen looks like it is too big to fit ipad 1. Can only see part of the perimeter, icons along edge are showing 20%. Running the latest software update, it has been sycned and rebooted. Whats next?

    It's in the General>Accessibility page in settings.  If on, you may have double-tapped with three fingers, as James suggests.  If you don't want this feature, turn it off.

  • HP mini 210-2145DX screen looks like a negative and i cant restore it

    my laptops screen looks like a picture negative. can anyone help me fix this problem

    Hi veekey4. Let me know if the display looks the same in Safe Mode: Start your computer in safe mode
    If it does look the same in safe mode, try a hard reset, as outlined in this document: Performing a Hard Reset or Forced Reset
    If that does not resolve the issue, try restoring your BIOS: Restoring the BIOS
    Let me know if this helps.
    If those steps do not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware failure. In that case you can contact HP Support to find out your repair options. HP technical support: 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region please click the link <HERE> to get the support number for your region.

  • IPod 4th gen has lots of lines over screen looks like bar codes and can't see display?

    My step sons iPod I just a year old but for about 3 months it's been coming up with lots of lines on screen looks like bar code. Now he can't see anything on screen due to his. He has not been on it for a while as he has a 2nd one from his mum but I forgot to check this out before warranty ran out.
    I have tried system re boot, I thought it was due to him charging it with USB on xbox360.
    Can someone please help

    - Try restoring the iPod from backup.
    - If not successful then restore to factory defaults/new iPod

  • My screen looks like a green mesh has been placed over it. It is nearly illegible and comes and goes.

    my screen looks like a green mesh has been placed over it. It is nearly illegible and comes and goes. Nothing I do can remove it.  Does anyone have a remedy?

    You have a hardware problem and the only people/place that can fix that is an Apple store or AARP.
    So take it into your nearest Apple store or AARP.

  • How to fix ipad disabled? it is looking for password, it looks like its frozen

    how to fix ipad disabled? it is looking for password, it looks like it's frozen.

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • Why does new 5s screen look like the old 4?

    We just bought and backed up two new 5s replacing iphone 4. Why does one new 5s screen look like the old 4 iphone. One phone shows new version, one is still old. I have downloaded and backed up twice, same thing happens. Used icloud to backup.

    Sure, here's two photos, LP5 is the old screen style, NP5 is the correct screen. Note the differences?

  • Apple TV Picture now too big for the 16/9 screen, wrong resolution ?

    Now that I've added a new Samsung Home Theatre system to my new Samsung 46" HDTV, the Apple
    TV picture is displaying way too big, cutting off about 1/2 the picture!?! The resolution seems to be set wrong ( 720 ?). The other inputs DVD and DirectTV display OK. I have the TV set for 16x9. It was working fine before I plugged the AppleTV into the new Home Theatre System. I then tried replugging the AppleTV directly into the TV's other HDMI port but the problem still remains.I can't find any way of readjusting the resolution. Any suggestions ?

    Problem solved. It's a faulty HDMI port on my TV.
    I have been plagued by intermittent random problems with my old Apple TV, especially where there was a blank screen but audio could be heard - solved by a restart. Then today I got the new Apple TV and it displayed as though there was overscan (actually - way more than overscan should cause now that I can see what it SHOULD look like). The final piece of the puzzle was trying to play content purchased previously on iTunes - no HDCP. Finally something pointing to the HDMI connection. I did a bit of troubleshooting - swapping cables, swapping HDMI ports and problem solved. Of the 3 HDMI ports on my TV - when the Apple TV is plugged into port 2 I get this massive overscan and HDCP doesn't work. In ports 1 and 3 it works perfectly. Thankfully the problem with the new Apple TV was consistent enough for me to easily diagnose the problem - unlikely the random nature of the issues I was having with the old Apple TV. Time for a new TV - hurrah! (it's under warranty...)

  • My 2009 iMac screen looks like a picture negative - how do I reset it to the normal screen?

    Yesterday my 2009 (maybe2008?) iMac screen switched over to look like a negative.  How do I reset it?  Do I have a virus or something?

    Hi...
    Open System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing
    Check your Display settings.
    Doubtful it's a virus. Sounds more like you have "white on black" or "grayscale" selected.
