Screen does not match iPhone

Why is the Apple Support website built so that the screen does not adapt to the size of the reading device? It is nearly impossible to use from an iPhone or iPod Touch, and does not shrink to the screen size on my Air if the browser window is too narrow.
Most modern web sites adapt the screen content to the browser window, and most other Apple software is ahead of the pack - but not here.
How can we encourage this modernization?

we desktop users have a similar complaint - but just the opposite = too much white space!
As an interactive professional, my evaluation is that the Apple web presence is designed graphically to meet the requirements of the Apple Style Guide and some mid point between iDevice and desktop. 'Twas a tough task I am sure - couldn't begin to please everybody
For your desktop experience, there are browser add-on solutions developed by users here -
by etresoft = ASCPowerTools - Safari add-on, incorporates the work of several folks that can be utilized for
Firefox utilizing the add-on Stylish for Firefox & Chrome - Stylish for Chrome
by loading CSSes developed by Hiroto, et al and found here > Adjust the format and layout of ASC Web Pages
As far as I know, no work has been done to address your iDevice issue
best regards
Happy Holidays

  • [MacOSX 10.10] [RDP 8.0.12] Remote screen does not match containing window size or monitor

    Hello. I am facing a very strange issue that I have never seen before. When I connect to a remote host, the host's screen does not match my client screen, and instead spills over into two monitors. This happens in full screen mode. When switching to windowed
    mode, only a portion of the remote host shows, the rest is a black screen.
    I would love to post example pics but this site wont let me until I verify my account, but I have no email asking me to do so...

    A few notes:
    - I have tried a restart.
    - I am running two displays, one is the built in 1440x900, one is an external 1920x1200
    - I am on OSX10.10.1
    - RDP is 8.0.12
    - I have tested this against Windows 7 Pro machines
    - This was working fine a week ago, just started this week.

  • The time on the weather widget on my home screen does not match the phone time.  Initially it did, but one day it started being 1 hour earlier than the phone time.  I went into Settings/Date

    The time on the weather widget on my home screen does not match the phone time.  Initially it did, but one day it started being 1 hour earlier than the phone time.  I went into Settings/Date & Time & now the time on the weather widget is correct, but the phone time is 1 hour earlier.  Any suggestions??

    Settings | Date and Time  then select Automatic date & time, and Automatic time zone. In this way, the carrier time will populate the phone. If it's still going 1hour off, then I'd call VZW and inquire if they have a tower issue, specially if it happens in one particular place.

  • Xorg- Nvidia card- CRT Monitor- No. of created screens does not match.

    Hi, all.
    Did a new install of Arch on a spare PC the other day. I'd forgotten how great the distro was. I've run it for a few days and am happy with the X environment etc, so decided it's time to install Arch on my main PC.
    The installation went fine and I rebooted into my new environment. I added a user and moved onto installing X.
    I followed the wiki and started off just using the VESA driver, as I don't have any need for amazing graphics acceleration. I got a message from my monitor saying 'Out of Sync' (or similar). I half expected this, as it happens sometimes when I install new distros and X doesn't automatically configure my Sun GDM-5410 monitor correctly.
    I usually follow this by running 'Xorg -configure' and copying the new config file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
    For some reason that didn't work. I got an error message saying 'Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices'.
    I've done some searching for solutions and installed the Nouveau driver, but I just can't seem to get X to work.
    Can anyone help?
    Many thanks,
    Chris.

    and if you try this? (not a solution, but could be a start)
    delete your /etc/X11/xorg.conf (you can generate a new one later if needed )
    make a file like this:
    /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf

  • Multiscreen Preview for iPhone Retina Does Not Match iPhone Retina Itself

    I am testing a web site built for responsive design. I have posted the site to a test server. When I view the test version of the site on my iPhone 4S with Retina display I get an entirely different layout from Dreamweaver's Multiscreen preview. Multiscreen shows the website for a full size screen. I understand that the iPhone with Retina display has a high resolution, but I wrote a media query to take care of that very issue. The more perplexing question is why would the test site display an entirely different layout on the iPhone Retina itself from the way the Dreamweaver file looks in Multiscreen's iPhone Retina preview? The same files Dreamweaver is using for the Multiscreen preview are the ones the iPhone is pulling from the test server.

    Thanks for your reply! I did set the resolution value, but, instead of the 'or' clause, I used two different links for the retina vs. mobile style sheets. That worked perfectly on several (actual, not simulated) devices on a site I had done for a previous client. However, I will try it using the 'or' clause. In fact, I copied the media queries for this new site from that earlier site. Multiscreen preview did not accurately reflect the iPhone Retina option from the drop-down menu for either site.
    Multiscreen for Smart Phone works most of the time, and I find that to be very helpful. However, if DW's multi-screen does not simulate the retina display, I wonder why Adobe included "iPhone Retina" in the Multiscreen drop-down menu at all. (I don't mean to criticize Adobe for it, but it does seem an odd choice to include a feature in a menu when the feature doesn't really work.)
    Anyway, thanks very much for your helpful reply.

  • FAGLB03 Total does not match Drilldown total

    Hi Everyone,
    We are a Candian Company, so when I run FAGLB03 for a certain account in a US Company Code, and change the view to Document Currency (Canadian), I get a total equal to $0.00.
    However, when I drill down on that total, the line item display is reporting a significant balance.  I have changed my layout to include the different currencies - nothing matches the total of $0.00.
    Im just concerned the FAGLB03 total on the main screen, does not match the line item total...which one is correct, and
    why would this be happening?
    Thanks in advance,
    Rob

    Dear
    Please check the thread Re: FAGLB03 peroid balance not tallying with line items within

  • My icloud account on my new iphone does not match the user ID for itunes as it is an old apple ID. There is no password for this ID so I cant change it and it wont let me change the apple ID. Any help?

    my icloud account on my new iphone does not match the user ID for itunes as it is an old apple ID. There is no password for this ID so I cant change it and it wont let me change the apple ID. Any help?

    To change to iCloud ID on your phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID then sign in with the new ID.  If you don't know the password for the old ID, and if the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Count and size of photos in iTunes does not match what is on my iPhone

    I have 2 different iPhone 6 phones. For each of them, the number of photos on the phone does not match the number of photos shown in iTunes. For example, one of my iPhones has fewer than 400 photos; however, when I connect the phone to iTunes on my computer, the usage bar at the bottom shows that there are more than 2500 photos accounting for 2.5GB. I suspect that iTunes is including photos that I have deleted from my phone. Are the additional 2100 "phantom photos" actually taking up space on my phone, and what can I do to make iTunes match what is actually on my phone?

  • I have recently upgraded from my iphone 5 to a new phone. My iphone 5 's touch screen does not work anymore. I need to backup my phone, but I can't do it on itunes without my password. Everything besides screen is ok. Is there a way around it? :(

    I have recently upgraded from my iphone 5 to a new phone. My iphone 5 's touch screen does not work anymore. I need to backup my phone, but I can't do it on itunes without my password. Everything besides the screen is completely fine-the screen will not recognize my finger anymore. I am not trying to fix the phone, but I need to have my contacts. The pictures have already synced, but I need my password to do a full backup. Unfortunately, I can't type in my password. Is there any way around it? If I take my phone to the apple store, will they be able to help me? I am not willing to replace the screen just to do this, however, so that is out of the question. 

    Someone else may have a workaround, but, as far as I know, if you cannot interact with the screen on the iPhone, there is no way to unlock it so you can get to your contacts.
    Were you saving them to iCloud by chance? If so, you can restore them to your new phone.

  • My iphone 5s screen does not lock whilst a call is in progress

    My iphone 5s has probs whilst calling the screen doesnt lock
    Is this proximity sensor or a setting?

    The iPhone screen shouldn't necessarily lock while you are in the phone call, it should however go to sleep while you have it up against your ear.  Is that what you mean?
    If this is what you mean and you think that there is an issue with the proximity sensor I would recommend playing a voicemail on your phone and instead of holding it up to your ear, putting your finger over the upper speaker.  If the screen does not darken then there could very well be something wrong with it. 
    Make sure first however that the area is cleaned and uncovered, just to be sure.

    If restoring the phone as new did not solve your problem, you'll need to bring the phone to Apple for evaluation.

  • Boot screen resolution does not match the login screen on retina

    Boot screen resolution does not match the login screen on MBP retinas if you've set your resolution to hi-res thus resulting a flickering at login screen appearing instead of that nice login screen animation, due to I believe screen resolution change...
    is there a way to change boot screen resolution (times before login screen)???
    Or do we have to wait for apple to push an EFI update for this problem?
    Thanks in advance

    No one having this issue?
    please some one at least confirm this so I know thats not my setup spesific problem?

  • My iphone 5 screen does not respond to touch at all

    I don't know what has happened to my phone.  The screen does not allow me to even swipe to unlock it.  It has lines all the way up the screen of different colours.  There is no cracks in the screen or anything like that and I dont recall dropping the phone.  The only buttons that work are the home button and the on/off switch.  I have tried to reset it but that doesnt work. Any ideas what could have happened and what I can do?
