Picture wont fit the screen

All,
i am using my macbook pro on my tv it a 32 in. sony LCD and i cant get the picture to fit right, with overscan it cuts off some of the screen (the whole menu bar) and with overscan off i have a smaller screen on the tv (black around all sides). i am using a DVI to HDMI cable. any help?!!

Have you checked the resolution being output to the TV? Check the resolution of your TV, and then open System Preferences -> Displays. You can change the resolution to the TV there. It might solve the problem. It is possible, that due to resolution differences between the computer and TV, it won't fit the screen exactly.

  • How do I get the picture to fit the screen?

  • Why is setting wallpaper impossible to get the picture to fit the screen, it completely ruins my pictures.

    Why is it impossible to set your wallpaper without it being blown out of proportion and ruining perfect pictures.......

    Since the introduction of the parallax feature in iPad, resizing photos for background pictures no longer works.
    Higher definition pictures work well, but older smaller pictures don't.  One option that many do is open your camera roll and open the picture you want to use.  Size it the way you want and then take a screen shot of that picture, which will store in your camera roll and will work for your background picture.
    To take a screen shot hold your finger on the home button and then tap the power button and you'll hear your camera shutter take the screen shot.

  • 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.

  • Why is it that with iOS 7, pictures do not fit the screen?

    When I try to set pictures as the background on my iPhone 5, they do not scale to the screen. Although a little problem that I have tried to ignore, it's become very annoying. It only started doing this after I updated to iOS 7 and had carried on through the updates. Help!!

    Hi bkraeutle14,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If pictures you set as wallpaper are not scaling correctly, for example they appear too "zoomed in," you can reduce screen motion to minimize this behavior:
    iOS 7: How to reduce screen motion
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5595
    iOS 7 uses a parallax effect to create the perception of depth on your Home screen and elsewhere.
    To reduce the effect, you can turn on Reduce Motion in Settings > General > Accessibility. When you turn on Reduce Motion, Home screen transitions will fade instead of zoom.
    When the parallax effect is on, you may notice the following:
    Wallpaper, icons, and alerts shift slightly as you move your phone.
    When you set a wallpaper in Settings > Wallpapers & Brightness, the photo or image will be slightly zoomed and can't be scaled to fit the screen.
    If you zoom in, you will need to rescale your wallpaper to fit to the screen. You can't rescale certain photo formats, including landscape or square images.
    To learn more about iOS 7, refer to the user manual.
    All the best,
    Jeremy

  • Why does IOS 7 enlarge pictures for the wallpaper and then disallow you to make them smaller to fit the screen?

    Why does IOS 7 enlarge pictures for the wallpaper and then disallow you to make them smaller to fit the screen?

    Now correct me if I'm wrong but I am sure I have read that the parallax effect in iOS 7 is the main reason behind wallpapers not being able to be shrunk. However, even disabling the effect will not allow you to resize the pictures like you could in previous versions of iOS, so as Skydiver119 said, it kind of is a glitch. If you are like me, and don't regularly change your wallpaper, then it may be worth creating a photoshop document which is slightly larger than your screen resolution(400px in each direction or so) and then placing your picture to suit, before copying it your device. Obviously, this would not be ideal if you were changing your wallpaper daily or very regularly as it would be a bit of a hassle having to do this every time you wanted to change your wallpaper.
    Hope this Helps!

  • Photos saved to wallpaper are enlarged and don't fit the screen since the new update to iOS 7

    Since the new update, when I try to save a new picture to my wallpaper and background, the photo is enlarged and does not fit the screen anymore.  Please fix!!!!

    A good point, but you'd better send your feedback directly to apple - hre, in a User-to-User Forum, Apple will probably not see it. Use one of the feedback forms:   http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto_ios.html
    I prevent the zooming by editing and cropping the photo to exactly the size I want in the Photos.app. In "Edit" mode I view it in Fulls creen, take a screenshot, and then set the screenshot as wallpaper.

  • 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,.

  • Why can I not get my windows to fit the screen

    I am not sure what happened today, but in Safari the window does not fit the screen on my Mac Book Pro, even when you click the green + button. What should I do to rectify. I have done a full Shutdown, and still the same.

    One other thing that might be handy:
    You can set the default Safari window size as follows.  Open a new window (command-n). Resize.  Close window.  Subsequent windows should open at that same size.

  • E-mail won't fit the screen, anyone help?

    Hey all-
    I just "upgraded" (sorry, frustrated with this issue) my Curve to the 9350 and for every e-mail I receive I have to scroll left and right to be able to view the whole e-mail or use the zoom feature on every e-mail to make it fit the screen. 
    Is there a way to have the Curve do this automatically so that I don't have to scroll four directions but just up and down?  My old Curve didn't have this issue.
    Thanks a ton in advance,

  • Make a StringItem fit the screen width

    Hi,
    I�m using a String Item in a Form and I�ve tried to make the Item fit the screen width by using the setPreferredSize(). But if the Text of the String Item is to long, the device still uses a second line to display the end of the text, which I don�t want.
    This is how I tried to make my String Item be displayed on an unique line.
    iTitleString = new StringItem("title : ","",Item.PLAIN);
    int preferedWidth = this.getWidth();
    iTitleString.setPreferredSize(preferedWidth,-1);
    iTitleString.setText("blablablablablalblablalblalbla");
    Thanks for your help

    If you mean that it should fit to the screen width by making the font smaller, then you're out of luck. You can try setting a preferred height to avoid multiple lines, but in a best case scenario it would just mean that not all of the text will be displayed.

  • My new version of Firefox (downloaded automatically) on my Mac displays long paragraphs in emails as a single line, so the end of the paragraph is off the screen. How can I make it automatically wrap to fit the screen?

    Long paragraphs in incoming emails display as a single line, with the end of the paragraph running off the screen. I want to make it wrap automatically to fit the screen.

    For the browser window, just drag it to the top left of the screen (click and hold on the top bar with the traffic lights to drag), then in the bottom right of the window you'll see a rectangle with diagonal hatching. Click and hold on that and drag the window to the size you want.
    Clicking on the green dot at top left will expand the window to fit the screen, clicking it again will shrink it back to where it was (this doesn't work in Finder windows quite the same).
    The menu bar size is set in the bowels of the OS, though there may be third-party applications which can alter it.
    As it's size is relative to the screen resolution, you could try reducing the resolution in System Preferences > Displays to see if that would suit you better.
