Screen is off center

I just got my macbook pro through fedex today
When i turned on my lovely new macbook pro, i noticed the viewable screen is slightly off center to the left.
I had mine upgraded to hi-res, and was wondering if everyone is having the same problem or if i should take it in for a replacement.

I would imagine this is a setting on the TV itself, refer to the manual that came with the TV.

Why does my keyboard repeat keys and the screen goes off center?

Keyboard repeats letters, erases multiple letters and generally goes crazy. Also screen goes off center and too large for frame.

First see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Home screen icons are magnified or large
Next try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My screen is off center

my screen display is off-center. How can I get it to fill the entire width of the screen?

And set the "resolution" to the default setting (the highest) in SystemPreferences/Displays.

IPod screen crooked/off center?

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to see if anyone else has had any problems with their iPod screen being crooked or off-center. Specifically, it looks like the LCD is crooked inside of the casing of my iPod. I have now gone through 3 5th generation 60gb iPods, and they have all had noticebly crooked screens. The latest one that I received as a replacement is now relatively straight but is very much off-center through the viewing window in the casing of my iPod. Does anyone else have this problem, or am I just being picky? It is very distracting to me when I am watching videos, and since this is a big investment for me, I want to make sure I am getting the product in the right condition. Thanks for your help!!

Thanks. I searched the forums and only found a couple of other complaints, so I didn't know if it was just me or not! I called support today and they are sending me a box to send my ipod in for replacement. I don't want to be picky, but for almost $400, I would think I could get a straight and centered screen!

New monitor now screen way off center at proper resolution

Hi
After my monitor died I got a 24" LED Combo Television/DVD player FLDC2400 60hz, 1080p resolution by Fluid. The guy in the shop said it would work as a computer monitor. The only problem is that when I have it set to the recommended resolution (I clicked on that 'detect' button in the control panel display settings) the image is clear and sharp but waaaaay off to the right, cutting about 1/8 of the display and leaving a thick panel of black over the other side. If I make the resolution lower it centers again but then everything has that low quality fuzzy bloated look to it. Is there something I can do so that the proper resolution screen works?
Thanks! And if anyone is kind enough to answer please know I am a computer dummy so explain things as you would to a five year old!!! :-)

My screen is off center. How do I fix this?

My screen distribution is slightly off. How can this be fixed?

I would imagine this is a setting on the TV itself, refer to the manual that came with the TV.

The metering spot on my Canon D7 is off center when I look into the viewfinder.

Using my Canon D7 in Yellowstone and the metering spot? in the LCD screen is off center to the right. I was shooting in AV mode. Don't know how to get it back to the center of the screen. I am a newbie to this camera. The autofocus spots seem OK.

Quick Time Player Opens Off-Center

I use QT 7.7.2 and, when I open videos in the player, the pane is reduced from full screen and off center. To play it I have to drag it to the left to reveal the controls at the top right, then click to go to full screen. I have to do this for every video clip. How can I get the player to open in full screen, please? I am sure it's a simple setting.

Notification Center off center on screen (Image included)

When I do the pull down main Notification Center, it pulls down off center on the screen and I can't do anything with it, I have to hit the home button and restart whatever app I was using, is anyone else having this problem?
I have an image of it:

Yeah that works for me to, but only as a temp fix..... A few days later it happens again, but it's good to know I'm not the only one

The screen is locked on and off center toggle switch is off does anyone have any suggestions

My older ipod shuffle is locked on and the screeis a little off center I've tried most all of the common solutions . Has anyone experienced this problem?

When you say the only tool available was to restart... do you mean Disk Utility wasn't there?
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
I also tried safe booting and holding down the options key..
Shift key invokes a "Safe Boot", the Option key should bring up the Boot Options screen where available boot drives are shown.
Do you have another Mac with Firewire around and does this one boot into FireWire target disk mode...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
If so this Mac will look like a big Firewire drive to the other one, and if the other one is the same OS or higher you can try Disk Utility on the other one to attempt repair of the iMac's drive.

Is there a T61 model without an off-center screen?

Is there a T61 model without an off-center screen?
I need to buy another T61, but the off-center screen on my current T61 drives me nuts.
Is the 14" off-center too?
Will Lenovo correct this on future models?
Thanks in advance!

I don't see it as a problem. In fact I don't even notice it when using the computer. If it helps keeps the top thinner and helps lets the antenna work better I think it is a great design.
My T61p's wireless reception is better than any notebook I have owned/used previously. For me form follows function and this notebook is just small enough to be carried anywhere easily but still big enough and powerful to do the bulk of what I need to do on a daily basis.
I am so happy with mine I am thinking about buying another one to just to have in case they do change the design radically. I have never felt that way about any computers I have owned before.

Screen off center in Gnome 3

Hello all,
I installed Gnome 3 a few nights ago and it went smoothly for the most part. I noticed this morning however that my screen is off centered, that is to say I have a black border running along the edge of it. Varies from left to right and has no predictable pattern. During startup the screen is fine it only happens when I launch X. (I believe it's mostly been on the right side which is why I didn't notice it until this morning.)
I'm running x64 and have an Nvidia GeForce GTX 260 with propitiatory drivers installed. Any help on the matter would be greatly appreicated.

I have had no issues at all with Gnome 3 power settings getting in the way of video playback (using presentation mode) or even with DWM/WMII when using Laptop Mode Tools.

2013 27" iMac using mini displayport to VGA, external monitor off center.

I recently purchased a new 2013 iMac 3.5 i7 and connected two external monitors. The minidisplayport to DVI adaptor works fine on one monitor but the minidisplayport to VGA is off center on the 2nd monitor. There is a 2" black band on the left side of the screen. I've replaced the adaptor, cable and tried on two different monitors. I've also tried repositioning image in the monitor settings which it can't move far enough. It only happens on 1920 x 1024. Any other resolution is fine. Other than that it works fine, but this space is going to drive me nuts. Because these are 23" monitors I really would like the highest resolution possible. I'm stuck. Any thoughts?

Update: I switched to DVI and it worked perfectly. I guess there could be an issue with the mini displayport to vga adaptor on the 2013 iMac. I also tested it on a 2012 mac mini and the vga operated as it should.

Macbook Pro to TV via HDMI - image way off center

Early 2008 15-inch Macbook Pro to TV via HDMI worked at first, now image is way off center on TV (like only showing a sliver of the computer image at the edge of the TV screen). Philips says it's an issue with the computer settings, not the TV. Any suggestions?
