Playlist too big for Ipod shuffle

I've been happily using a 2nd gen shuffle and it selects songs from my favorite playlist. The playlist is 2000 songs, and obviously doesn't fit on that shuffle, but the shuffle just randomly picks songs from that specific playlist. Now I have a 3rd gen shuffle, and I get a pop up saying that my playlist is too big. It asks if I would like itunes to randomly select songs. If I check yes, which is what I want it to do, it deselects that playlist and starts selecting from our 10000 song library. Isn't there any way to have it randomly select from a specific playlist? I'm tired of trimming down playlists for all these products. Just make it easier and do it for me like it does for the 1st and 2nd gen shuffles. Any help?

Sometimes I have found that some movies wont transfer into iTunes, but others made the same way will. What I tracked it down to was the length of the file name - as soon as I shortened the name, they worked fine. Never looked at it closely enough to work out exactly the maximum number of characters that is acceptable.
AFAIK, there is no time limit on the length of a movie. I spliced together some shows to make a single 'movie' of just over 3 hours and that worked fine for me.
Anyway, try a shorter name and see if that helps.

Video dl in iTunes too big for ipod screen?

So I just downloaded the digital copy of Pineapple Express and I noticed that the video is 853 x 356 which is way too big. How do I get it down to 640 x 480.

You could also use a third party application such as Handbrake to create an iPod compatible version. Check it out below. Hope this helps.

Screen on my phone it seems to be too big for the phone

Don't know if this a major problem but its bloody annoying! I've installed os 3.0.1 on my iphone 3gs 16gb and there was no problems, however when I looked at the screen on my phone it seems to be too big for the phone, only by 1-2mm. I'm able to move the screen either up or down by touch but its annoying, I can either have my signal strength, clock and battery showing or the phone,mail, safari and ipod at the bottom, obviously I keep the top of the screen visible but it wasn't like that before I downloaded that stupid update!! I would rather go back to 3.0 but I can't find it anywhere? any ideas anyone

Have you zoomed in a little as per p. 187 of the manual... http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf
If not, try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

When I open my iPad the page is too big for the screen and won't shrink down. The keypad has also become very 'sticky'

Recently when I open any apps the pages are too big for the screen. They shrink when pinched but immediately become bigger again. It's very difficult to scroll too. The keypad has become very sticky. Missing letters and spaces when I type and needing to tap the keys much harder than usual

I have the exact same problem, I think. I was on my iPad 3's home page swiping R-L to locate a certain icon when all of a sudden the screen appeared to get HUGE. So big I could only see one or two icons. I couldn't even turn it off to try a reboot because after I pushed the sleep/wake button, I couldn't find the red slide bar. I finally just had to wait for the battery to die, then recharge it, and it looked normal again. I also spoke with several friends who haven either iPads or iPhones, and they've all had this happen to them. I checked my accessibility settings, and Zoom was already off. So what is causing this problem for so many people, and what can we do to prevent it? Please help.

I have my iTunes library on an external HD because it is too big for my iMAC 500GB HD. I want to backup my external HD. Can I do this with any Apple cloud product or should I look elsewhere? Also is it worth just buying another external HD to back up

I have my iTunes library on an external HD because it is too big for my iMAC 500GB HD. However, it is not backed up, so I need a solution to backup my external HD. Can I do this with any Apple cloud product or should I look elsewhere for cloud products? Will it be cheaper/easier just to buy another external HD to back up my existing external HD? Thanks

I don't know if this is me adding files to iTunes when the external wasn't connected
it is.
is it OK to just keep deleting that library on the Air?
i wouldn't - at least not until i
mount the external
point iTunes media folder location back to the external via preferences > advanced
consolidate my library via file > library > organize library
The ntfs hasn't seem to be causing any problems, but I've always wanted to know.
in order for your Mac to write to NTFS drives, it needs some help by installing e.g. the NTFS 3G driver. apparently that or something similar is installed on your Mac already. preferably, it would be formatted for Mac but then windows machines would need to have e.g. MacDrive installed to recognize the drive.

How can i sync my old playlist to my new iPod shuffle?

How can I sync my old playlist to my new iPod shuffle? Everytime I try to sync it I get the little pop up box that asks if I want to transfer and delete what new songs I have already downloaded.....i know it has something to do with sharing music libraries but not sure how to do this....any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You don't.
If you do not have your contacts, then you cannot sync your contacts.
You should ALWAYS maintain a backup copy of your computer.

Why does is say purchaseable items too big for download every time I try to download an app?

Every time I try to download a game or app my iPhone says error message purchasable items too big for download. I even changed my billon information. Anyone know what the problem might be?

Connect your iPad to iTunes on your Mac/PC and then go to your iPad's summary window. Then click back up if you want to back up your iPad first. After that click restore. Later it will ask you if you want to setup the iPad as a new iPad. Select the option to setup your iPad with your latest back up.

A document page opens that is too big for the display and runs off the end of the monitor

How do you fix a problem where document pages open that are too big for the display and runs off the end of the monitor? The borders are off the monitor so there is no window edge to grab and adjust.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Sim card too big for ipad air?

i have taken delivery today of a new ipad air but even the mini simcard seems too big for the holder, is it safe to still put it in?

No. The iPad Air uses a Nano Sim. A Mini sim will not fit in the tray.
You need to talk to your Cellular carrier and have them give you a nano sim for the new iPad.

My iPad standard window is bit too big for the screen.

My iPad screen unexpectedly got slightly too big for the display window. The size is bit too big. For example, the keyboard when it pops up does not fully display all tkey sans. Another example is the time/power remaining bar slips out of sight. Did I accidentally change something? Is this an issue with version of iOS that I am using (4.3.3)? (Note I'm not talking about resizing by using your fingers.)

John,
I am having the same problem. The enlargement is not the same as the 3 finger tap or the 2 finger zoom. The screen opens and then bumps to a slightly larger screen just enough to make it too big to see the outer edges. You can put 3 fingers on the screen and move the screen to see the edges but you cannot get it to shrink to the correct size. This is the second time this has happened to me. I am also having some other issues. Sometimes while in an app the app will close and I will be diverted to the home screen. And sometimes when playing "with Friends games" the letters on the letterboard (not the key pad) disappear, will not move or are giant. I plan on taking it back to the Apple store this week but I hate the idea of having to start over.

720p display resolution is too big for tv

I recently got the kanex hdmi adapter to hook my mbp to my tv. The quality is superb and sound is good as well. However, the picture is slightly too big for my size of television. I had to select the 720p option so that my tv could recognize my computer and therefore, I cannot select any other option if I want my tv to recognize my computer via hdmi. Is there any possible way to still be able to hook my computer with my kanex adapter and still be able to fit the full picture on my tv screen?

Not sure if you fixed this problem but my Sanyo has a Pixel shape button that I accidentally pressed somehow. Somewhere in your T.V. remote or menu should have the same type of button or menu option to change the way your pixels are layed out.
This option will give you a 4x3 option, a 16:9 option and a few 16:9 zoomed variants.
It's probably not in your OS X settings. You have accidentally switched your pixel shapes.

NB305 first time setup display too big for screen

I just bought an NB305-310 netbook (two, actually, and the first one had no trouble). It came loaded with Windows XP. When I turned it on I wasn't able to set it up right away, when I came back to it, I found the display of the welcome screens and the setup process assistant is too big for the screen, as if it thinks it has to fill a 15" or 17" screen instead of 10". So I can't see to click on the "I agree" box or the "Next" button etc., so can't proceed through the setup.
I already tried restarting it a couple times (by holding down the power key, since Control-Alt-Delete didn't do anything). I also tried using the function key with various keys that looked like they might affect display size but no change. Even the volume function keys didn't change the volume of the setup background music that plays.
How can I fix this?
Thank you!

mini notebook NB305-N310
Try this. Press Alt + Spacebar to open the control menu (which may be off the screen) at the top-left of a window.
Then press M (for Move).
That will enable you to move the window using the arrow keys.
When you get the chance, you'll want to go here and reset the screen resolution to 1024 x 600.

Scanned doc now too big for print

Hi,
I have scanned this sheet and modified it, now i need to print it back but photoshop says its too big for print.
Indeed it just printed a portion of it.
Can someone with experience of this kind of issue explain me the technicalities and what should i do?
I know photoshop only when it comes to chop pictures, put loads of filters and make them jolly, i am not into stuffs like scan/sizing/printing, etc., so please don't explain to go down to the basic basics in your explanation.
Thanks

Well, when you say "Manufacturer's software" I assume you mean the scanner's software and NOT Photoshop. It is best to scan directly into Photoshop by using the menu File>Acquire Image>[select your scanner source--either the scanner name or TWAIN driver]. When this is chosen your scanner's driver will launch a "plug-in" software interface that will allow you to scan the document and set a marquee around what you want to scan and also choose the resolution. After that you will be able to save the document -- give it a unique name like "file.psd" -- and then make changes -- again give it a unique name like "file_edited.psd". The document measurements you gave us seem to fit within the bounds of a United States (US) Letter size document which is 8.5 inches x 11 inches. If your printer has the ability to print borderless documents you should be able to print this document without a problem with a resolution of 300dpi. It is possible that it would not be able to if there is not enough memory on your printer and that is why you get the error message. (But as a JPG image the file size will be compressed, so I'm not really sure why your document would be too large.)

HT2311 iTunes window too big for screen.

My iTunes window is too big for screen. I cannot access the shrink control on the lower fight corner of the screen.
Any other ways to shrink the screen to fit?

HDR window too big for screen

When I open the "Merge to HDR Pro" dialog box, it is too big for the screen and I cannot resize it. Pressing the green + button just resizes the too big screen above my dock, but it is still too big for the options that lie at the bottom of the dialog box. How do I fix this?

What is the screen resolution of your monitor?
One workaround I've seen is:
Hide your OS X dock
Quit Photoshop
Restore your prefs: http://adobe.ly/PS_Prefs
Restart Photoshop
