Screen Size When Connecting iPad2

Hi,
I have connected my Apple TV to an XGA projector for us in my classroom. When I use the built in Apple TV options (like Netflix) everything works fine. When I connect my iPad2 via AirPlay the projection is reduced to about 2/3 of the available size. I would like to take advantage of the entire screen. Thoughts?
Thanks,
Eric Kobb

Welcome to the Apple community.
The output from the Apple TV is aimed at a standard television set which has an aspect ratio of 16:9. The iPad has an aspect ratio of 4:3, so when you mirror the iPad to the Apple TV, you will always get black bands as each side to compensate for the difference in the two aspect ratios.

How do I get the contact photo to full screen size when receiving a call after iOs 7.1 update..?

how do Iget the contact photo to full screen size when receiving a call after iOs 7.1 update..?

I went to the link. I selected iPHONE. There was a big iPhone icon above the comment box -- so I was absolutely, positively on the right page. I spent five minutes or so crafting a constructive comment as to why I wanted the full photo feature back on incoming calls on iOS7. Then...i noticed the box below the comment area asked 'What operating system are you on?'. And the drop down selection list included every operating system since Job's garage days -- but not one single iOS entry. No iOS entries on an iphone page. Unless I'm missing something, I think anyone writing a feedback comment is wasting his/her time.

Actually, its always been a feature.

My Macbook (2009 White) Has had water spilled onto it, it all works apart from the screen. When connected to an external display it works fine, just not on the Macbook itself. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Take it to Apple and ask them to fix the physical damage the water caused.

Time Machine: Backup folder changing size when connected to different computers

Can someone please help me wrap my head around why the size of my Time Machine backup folder changes when connected to different computers? I tried to be as thorough as possible. Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this.
I made a backup of my one laptop (MacBook Pro running 10.6.8) before installing Mavericks. The backup folder size is 258.56 GB and it is on a 1TB WD external. There are no other computers backed up in this folder.
Last night, I tried to copy the backup folder to another 1TB WD external and ran into the “you can’t do that” message. After some researching, I came across articles explaining how Time Machine handles HDs and, in order for me to copy my backup folder, the drive I want to copy the folder to needs to have the “Ignore ownership on this volume” deselected.
Okay, so here is my situation: I have the “Ignore ownership on this volume” deselected and journaling is correct on the drive I want to copy the backup folder to. So I can continue working on my laptop, I want to use a different computer to copy the backup folder from one HD to the other. The problem I’m having is each computer I own is showing me a different backup folder size O.o.
(1) The computer I want to use – a Power Mac G5 Quad running 10.4.11 (non intel) – is showing a backup folder size of 592.7 MB, but the HD shows there is 258 GB being used. When I drag copy, I only get a 592.7 MB backup folder. For some reason, the backup folder is the only folder acting this way. I compared other folders from the same and different externals and all the sizes match up perfectly no matter the computer they were connected to. How is this possible?
(2) My second option - Mac Pro (early 2009) running 10.9.4 – is showing a 256.15 GB backup folder size. Very close, but not 258.56 GB.
(3) My last option is to use the computer I’m trying to stay away from, the MacBook Pro running 10.6.8. This is the computer I backed up and is showing me the correct folder size = 258.56GB. As I mentioned, I'd like to work on my laptop while copying the backup folder using one of my other computers.
I am able to drag and drop from each computer, but the folder size depends on the computer I’m using. I don’t understand why I can't do a simple drag and drop of a 258 GB folder.
Many thanks!!

The directory files that you are seeing are not real. They are links to the actual backup files that are stored in a hidden directory on the drive. If you were to look at the same drive on a pc, you would see the folders and you would a list files that are in the folders but the files would all be 0 byte files and Windows will tell you the file is empty because there is nothing there but a link which Windows does not understand.
So the point is you can't just copy the backupd files. The best solution that I know of (and maybe someone else will chime in) for copying them is to mirror the drive with something like Carbon Copy or some other program.

A205-S5866, "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL/Blue Screen event", when connected to Ethernet,

I will apologize in advance if I'm in the wrong place or if this is too elemental, I tried searching a bit before posting. But here goes...
I started getting the "DRIVER.IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" message/Blue Screen problem event yesterday. There are a few things that over the course of the last 24 hrs that started to appear as potential triggers/accomplices. (maybe I was/am reaching, I don't know)
*It only has happened when my laptop was connected to an Ethernet wire/chord. This was the 1st time I had used it, previously I had
always used wifi. (without any problems)
*It seemed to crash/shut down around when I would sign in or out of yahoo messenger or my "myyahoo" page
Extra points of relevant info... 2 things that I did hours before the 1st occurrence:
1) I did a windows update (the automatic kind, that you get notices prompting you about);
2) I had internet service set up in my apartment & the company's tech did the installation. (also, I am from the U.S. and bought my laptop at home before I left, but I am now in Seoul, S. Korea, just in case that is relevant somehow)
What I have done (after this started to happen) so far, is 1) used the internet via wifi without problem, 2) performed a system restore to before the automatic update, 3) tried again with the Ethernet & encountered the same problem.
Thanks in advance for any advice/suggestions!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Jerry & CristopherC, again, thanks for your replies. Not sure if you realize how much the "technologically challenged" like myself appreciate the help!
OK...
ChristopherC you understood correctly, I have been able to access the net (& stay on for long periods of time) without any problems. But when connected by the ethernet/modem I get those messages, etc.
*I am trying as hard as I can to avoid the "clean wipe" of my cpu because as I mentioned, I am in Korea & I have a "slingbox" type thing that I am accessing back home to get American cable, and if I perform that, then the network connection I established will be lost.
Jerry - You nailed the "stop #/BCCcode" it was D1. The time I had the Microsoft "auto search" for a solution, it came back with this info.: BCCode d1, BCP1 00000004, BCP2 00000002, BCP3 00000001, BCP4 8BDD5DD9, OS Version 6_0_6001, Service Pack 1_0, Product 768_1
BUT... I copied down the just the message info. (without the autosearch) 2 of the other times, and it gave:
-Stop: 0x0000008E (0xC0000005, 0x82BF3DD9, 0xA6DE3204, 0x00000000)
-Stop: 0x000000D1 (0xCBE46973, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x8289DB4E)
Also, I made an attempt once at the "Safe Mode Diagnostic", and got this other info... Prob Event Name: Blue Screen, Locale ID: 1033, OS Version (which seems slightly different than the #'s above) 6.0.6001.2.1.0.768.3
I not sure what, if any, significance this info has. :-)
OK, I will to do those hot fixes you suggested & report back. Thanks again!

How to get the connected screen off when connected

When I connect my iPod nano (4th gen - I believe) to both my car (through the AUX jack with a USB cord) and to my computer, the screen that says "Connected Eject before disconnecting" comes up and won't go away - even after it syncs and everything. In the car, it will plays some music but since I can't see my screen or any of my playlists I can't change the song or anything from the iPod. On the computer, I can click the eject button and the screen goes away and all if fine except that it obviously isn't connected and then won't sync. When the iPod isn't connected to the computer or the car it works fine. HELP!

Hello, ghost3947-
I am sure this would be quite frustrating! Let's take a look at that! Please ensure there is no debris in the HDMI port on the device. If dust, lint, etc get in that port, it can cause these sort of glitches. After you verify the port is clear, and it continues, please move on to a factory hard reset (http://tinyurl.com/9bgrztr) to resolve the concern. After the reset, the phone will walk you through activation and signing back into Google services. Keep me posted!
Thanks,

Personas: How set the default screen size when Personas starts up

Hi Personas experts,
When Personas starts, its screen size is by default small, say, size_A. One can press "+" to increase the screen size, say, size_B.
Now I want Personas to start with a bigger screen size, say, size_B instead of the default size, size_A. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks.

Dong

Hi Dong,
There is a minor tweak you have to do in your index.html file. Or I advise you copy the index.html file into a new file and run personas using it.
The tweak in the 40th line where you have the script. Just add          switchPersonasObjectFullScreen();
<script type="text/javascript">
         setPersonasObjectSize(1);
         switchPersonasObjectFullScreen();        
         trySetPersonasObjectSizeFromUrlParameters();
       disableBrowserHelp();
     </script>
     </body>
Save . Activate and Run Personas using this file. It will open personas in Full Screen Mode within the browser window.
I hope this tweak helps.
Regards,
Manu

Is There a Way to Leave the Screen on When Connected to USB?

I assume even if the screen is on it continues to charge so it seems unnecessary to let it time out and have to enter the password again and again. So, is there as way to set it to stay unlocked (screen on) when it's on USB, but time out and lock when on battery only?

No, there is not setting to differentiate when charging and when on battery.

Dashboard and window sizes when connecting to LED display

Hello,
I just bought the LED display yesterday...gotta say thats its beautiful....i have one problem though....when i connected it to my macbook all the window sizes (e.g safari, itunes, dashboard) were too small....I tried modifying them...but now when i disconnect the display the window sizes on the macbook are too big and out of display....the resolution on the laptop is 1280X800 and on the screen its 1920X1200
any way to fix this?
Thanks

My experience is that if you are connected to the larger display and then disconnect without restarting, then you will see the behaviour you are describing.
If you restart the machine after disconnecting, the MB is smart enough to make everything fit within the native (and only available) resolution.
Good luck!

Blue screen error when connecting an ethernet cable

I have a Compaq Presario 5300US desktop that I'm trying to upgrade. It has 512mb (max) of memory and a newer video card than the factory one. I installed Vista Home Basic on it with no problems. I also installed a pci ethernet card along with the Vista drivers that came with it. I checked tha card's properties in "device manager" and it said "This device is working properly". I haven't plugged in an ethernet cable to the card at this point. Everything is working OK, but as soon as I try to connect the card to my router, I get a blue screen with this message:
Hardware Malfunction
NMI: Parity Check / Memory Parity Error
*** The system has halted***
I don't get any memory errors as long as I don't try to use the ethernet card.

Hello @larrycarol99,
I understand that after upgrading your computer when you plug in an ethernet cord you get a hardware malfunction error. I am providing you with a Microsoft Support document: Hardware Malfunction Results in System Error Message that explains what causes that error and provides steps on fixing it. I am also including a link to the Compaq Presario 5300US Desktop PC Drivers page, which unfortunately does not have any drivers for your computer running Windows Vista.
I hope this helps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Screen overlap when connected to projector

when i connect my macbook to my NEC projector using mini DVI to DVI cable part of the image from the right hand side of the screen is displayed on the left hand side. How would i correct this display problem?

Hi,
SwitchResX (http://www.madrau.com/) control will give you more control over your monitor, or in this case projector, than the Monitors control provided with OS X.
It sounds like the projector is not putting out correct DDC data, and hence the MacBook is not generating the correct timing for the projector. You can tweak settings with SwitchResX that you can't get at with the normal Preferences control. Try setting the vertical sync rate to 60 Hz. You may need to experiment to find the best horizontal rate. To get to the tweaking area, open SwitchResX, click custom, then click the plus sign in the lower left of the window. A new window with detailed settings will open.
Best wishes getting synced up.

Gray-screen freeze when connection Thunderbolt display

When I connect my 27" Thunderbolt Display to my 15" Macbook Pro it freezes up and I get a gray screen.
But when I start-up without met TB Display I starts fine. What could be the problem?

Welcome to AD!
Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them. Disk Utility's Disk Repair is not perfect and may not find or repair all directory issues. A stronger utility may be required to finish the job.
After that Repair Permissions.
No need to report Permissions errors....we all get them.
Also here's a Gray Screen Apple doc.

p.s. It would help us, so we can advise you correctly, if you would fill in your Mac's specs. in My Settings over on the right, near your name and under the logout choice, please. Over there-->>>>>>>>
If you're unsure about the specific Mac model you have, you can plug in its serial number here and it will give you the model and its specifications.
