Screen share window size is wrong following Mavericks upgrade
Hi, I use screen share quite a bit, both over LAN but also over the internet and love the feature. I usually have no problems, but after the upgrade to Mavericks on my iMac and Mac Mini (Both 2011 models), I've started seeing problems with the window size of screen share.
Going from my Mavericks iMac to my Lion Macbook pro, there's no problem, and my imac shows a screen share window that is the resolution of the MBP (1440x900). But if I do screen share from my iMac (2550x1440), to my Mac mini (Which is attached by HDMI to a HDTV at 1920x1080), the window gets continuously smaller on each session, and it is now stuck at what I would guess is 320x240.
How can I change this size? I assume is has something to do with Mavericks horrible resolution handling, as I don't get a list of resolutions over HDMI anymore in System Preferences, which was nice and easy in pre-Mavericks OS'.
Thanks, using the zoom button did actually improve quite a bit. It is not full resolution, but almost twice the size it was before and definitely usefull, thanks! Never though about doing that..
Scaling manually doesnt work over the current max window resolution though.

Time Machine - Can't backup or Erase/Restore Disk - Following Mavericks upgrade
Hi Everybody, I have been looking through the internet to try and solve the issue I am having, I have seen people with similar issues but I can't seem to quite find the answer I'm looking for.
A couple of weeks following the Mavericks upgrade, I have started having issues with my time machine partition on my external hard drive (2TB Seagate - 1TB for Time Machine, 1TB for general large files). It started off with "The backup disk ""Time Machine" is not available" which led me to have a look into the issue. I have tried repairing the disk, which gave me the following error:
And "Disk Utility can’t repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files."
This then lead me to try to erase the Time Machine partition, as far as I can tell, I don't think I need anything from in the past, and I have backed up most things onto the other half of the hard drive. However I can't erase the disk because of this:
"Volume Erase failed with the error: Couldn’t open disk."
The "Time Machine" volume is also grayed out. I'm really at a loss to figure out how to fix this, I'm not worried about recovering all of my time machine files I just want it to work from now on. I also don't want to lose any of the content that is on the other half of the partition.
I have tried putting volumes into spotlight privacy, but not sure what else I can try?
I'm also having issues reading files from an external server, but I'm not sure if this is related to Mavericks or on our side here.
Any advice would be really appreciatedThis is exactly what just happened to me. Did anything work for you or did you have to buy a whole new drive? My 1.5tb time machine partition did what you described, while the other 1.5tb extra storage partition is fine.

HT2506 Preview is now opening full screen always. Want it window size
All of a sudden, Preview is opening images in Full Screen only. It used to open in a window. I have looked everywhere to change this back from full screen to window size. I have checked the Preferences and Get Info. Please help and tell Apple to quit messing around with our apps. :-) So annoying.
Press the escape (esc) key to exit full-screen mode. Close all windows. Quit and relaunch Safari. Does the same thing happen?

How can I change the window size of iTunes on my iMac? Used to be easy before installing Mavericks.
If you want to make the itunes tab so you can see the dock
you press the
esc
button if your in full screen mode
if you want to get into full screen mode you press the arrows facing away from eachother in the top right corner
there is another way to get to the normal tab if your in full screen
make the curser go right up to the top of the screen and it will show the apple tab
it will have two arrows facing together highlited in blue
if u tap that it will take you to the normal tab -

Sharing your screen with other computer users
You can set up your computer to allow others to view your screen and control your computer. While your screen is shared with another computer, a user of the other computer sees what’s on your screen and can open, move, and close files and windows, open applications, and even restart the computer.
To set up screen sharing:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Sharing.
Select the Screen Sharing checkbox.
To specify who can share your screen, select one of the following:
All users: Select this if you want to allow any user with a user account on your computer to share your screen.
Only these users: Select this if you want to restrict screen sharing to specific users.
Click Add + at the bottom of the Users list and select a user from Users & Groups (accounts you have set up in Accounts preferences), Network Users (users on your network), or your Address Book. Or click New Person and enter a name and password to create a sharing account. Then select that user from the list and click Select.
Click Computer Settings and set the following options:
Anyone may request permission to control screen: Select this to allow anyone on your network to request to share your screen.
VNC viewers may control screen with password: Select this and enter a password that VNC viewer applications can enter in order to control your screen.
It’s recommended that you not set a password if you only share this computer’s screen using the built-in screen sharing viewer in Mac OS X.
For more information go to your Finder and click Help from the Menu Bar. Type in Screen Sharing in the search field.
I use the same instructions for screen sharing betweeen a Mac running 10.6 to a Mac running 10.5 and a Mac running 10.4, so hopefully the above instructions and links will help.

Xcode 5.02 on Mavericks window size
I have Mavericks with Xcode 5.02 on a 17" 2.5 GHz intel core 2 duo. With Xcode open with a project, I clicked on the window size icons in the upper right corner of the window. I got a full screen that can't be moved, and I can't get to the corner of the window to change its size.
How do I reverse this?Placing the cursor in the upper right corner of the screen and holding it there for a second will bring up this:
Click on the blue double arrow icon. -
Yosemite: How do I get back from full-screen to original window size?
Okay, so today I used iPhoto for the first time since I reluctantly upgraded to Yosemite on Friday.
iPhoto is one of the few apps I often take into full-screen mode, and so obviously I noticed today that they've kindly taken away the full-screen arrows in the top right-hand corner of the window in Yosemite.
Posting a question about that in Support revealed the 'new improved' way to go full-screen, which is to click on the green traffic light in the top left-hand corner of the window.
Fair enough, but how do I get my iPhoto window back to the size it was before I went full-screen? I tried clicking the green-button again, but that insists on the window being what I call 'maximised', ie. spread across the entire width of my desktop. I want to snap from full-screen back to the window size I had before going full screen.
The arrows in the top right-hand corner used to do that perfectly well, but they're not there any more so I'm having to resort to laboriously re-sizing my window each time, which is far from ideal.
Anyone able to advise me please?Do we know if it is iPhoto-specific, or do all app windows behave in this way?
Actually, I suppose I could find that out for myself... -
How to adjust the window size in overview screen of a scorecard ?
Hi Experts,
In <i>SEM</i> application is it possible to adjust the size of the "<b><i>Perspective</i></b>" windows in the Overview screen of a <i>Scorecard</i> ?
If possible how ?hi,
If you change the window size of the script in the original language, it should reflect in the other languages.
Please activate the script in english once again and see the spanish form again.
@SAP_WIZ
As far as chaniging window size is concerned, Please edit your script in ES and then change it.Or login in ES and then edit the script.
This is not possible, because the original script is in english.

Dual Screen Setup Screws Up Default Firefox Window Size
Unfortunately it's impossible to reply to this thread: [https://support.mozilla.com/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?comments_parentId=365472&forumId=1]
although the problem described there isn't solved at all.
Quote from the OP:
''"Firefox is only checking the resolution of the primary monitor when it is opened or when a new window is opened. This is not an issue if both monitors are the same resolution or if the primary monitor is set to a higher resolution than the secondary monitor. But, as in my case, if the primary monitor is set to a lower resolution than the secondary monitor, Firefox will resize any new window that is larger than the resolution of the primary monitor down to size of the primary monitor."''
Personally, I have been using MSIE 6.0 until it became unusable since any major site stopped supporting it. Now, instead of upgrading to 7.x or 8.x, I chose to install Firefox ... and the first thing that this "state of the art browser" is giving to me as a welcome present is the insight, that it is even too dumb to remember its actual default window size!
Although stored correctly in ''localstore.rdf'' (height="1170") this friggin bastard resizes to 994px height on every startup and refuses to accept the fact that the screen it opens on has a height of 1200px. Something the good old MSIE didn't have any problems with to recognize!
Conclusion of > 1 hour online research: no solution available.
Well done, Mozilla, brilliant job :\The only solution (well, it's not really a solution, it's a miserable workaround) was to exchange the assingment of the primary and the scondary display, including all the negative side effects you can imagine.
Hopefully Firefox will gain a higher grade of intelligence one day. -
Sometimes when moving the cursor the window size on certain sites reduces or increases. This happens randomly and I am not able to make it happen to change the size of the screen to my choice. The window on a particular site is now so huge I am unable to use features on there as they do not come into view on my window at all. Please help me on how to control this feature or in other words how do I increase or decrease the window size manually.

BLACK SCREEN stating "windows could not start because the following is miss
I installed Bootcamp update 2.1 and then XP SP3.
Now when I start up my Mac I am getting a BLACK SCREEN stating "windows could not start because the following is missing or corrupt: <windows root>\system 32-hal.dll Please re-installl a copy of hte above file"
I tried to use the option key and insert the Windows CD but it won't start up.
Also, when I start up I must use the option key and select the Mac OS and it will start up and everything is fine there. Advice appreciated.Did you ever solve this? I had updated to BC 2.1 (After updating Apple Software Update al on the Windows side) I waited & just tonight tried to install SP-3. It appeared to install & When I was prompted to restart--I also got the black screen. Mine said:
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:\Windows\inf\biosinfo.inf
You can attempt to repair the file by starting Windows setup using the original setup CD-ROM. Select ‘r’ at the 1st screen to repair.
I just force powered off & booted into Mac.
I think I need to restart my Mac into Windows (using the Option key ) WHILE THE WINDOWS XP CD is in the optical Drive. Then maybe I’ll get a choice to select ‘r’ to repair at the 1st screen?
You may need to do essentially the same thing. I do not know if this problem is a boot camp problem of just a Windows problem.
Sure is annoying,
Good luck! -
Can window size be adjusted? It goes off the bottom of my iMac screen.
I can't get to the tool adjustments or the bins because they are off the bottom of my iMac 21.5" screen. Can't reach the screen corner to adjust window size. Any remedy?
Drag the top left of your PSE Window down and to the left to shrink the size of the window, then reposition the window so now you can see the bottom right corner.
