Slideshow view very small on MacBook Air

Hi gang,
Our blog has a variety of photo pages. When viewed on a MacBook Air, the popup slideshow window fills the available screen space, but the pics are very small and surrounded by a large amount of black space. Also, the slideshow controls are left justified relative to the pics, not centered underneath as you would expect. On other computers the pages display correctly.
Any ideas?
Cheers!

I'm so disappointed in the new iweb. it takes forever to upload pictures from iphoto. i made a new iweb page and it's awful. there's mostly black space on the screen. why would they do that? the slide show displays tiny copies of my pictures almost thumbprint size. and the reflections are almost the same size as the photos. looks ********. vertical pictures are even smaller! why did they fix something that wasn't broken. now it is. if it looks this awful on my mac, what will it look to my friends on other computers? didn't anyone test this stuff? i want my old iweb back!!

  • OS X Yosemite is very slow on Macbook Air 2011

    After upgrading to 10.10 my 2011 11-inch Macbook Air became very slow. Sometimes it even freezes for about 5 seconds. I've tried to reinstall system 2 times but it didn't help. So the problem i think is in 10.10 itself. Right now I installed 10.9 because 10.10 is unusable. Does anybody experiencing such problems with Yosemite on 2011 Macbook Air.

  • Slideshow: Images very small on certain computers

    Hi all
    I'm having a problem with slideshows created in (or updated to) iWeb '08. When viewed on some computers, the slideshow images are really small, just a tiny little bit bigger than the thumbnails on the page. On other machines, however, my slideshows play fine.
    Slideshow not OK (small images) on:
    PowerBook G4, 800MHz, 15'' screen (1152x768), 1GB RAM, Mac OS 10.4.10, Safari 2.0.4 or Firefox 2.0.0.6
    iBook G3, 700MHz, 12'' screen (1024x768), 640MB RAM, Mac OS 10.4.8, Safari 2.0.4
    Slideshow OK (big images) on:
    PowerMac G5 Dual 1.8GHz, 23'' Cinema Display (1920x1200), 1.5GB RAM, Mac OS 10.4.10, Safari 2.0.4 or Firefox 2.0.0.6
    PowerMac G4 Dual 1.25GHz, Sony 23'' screen (1920x1200), 2GB RAM, Mac OS 10.4.10, Safari 2.0.4
    Maybe it's depending on the screen size? Since that's the main difference between these 4 systems (but it doesn't seem to depend on the browser!). Anyone care to check on other machines with different screen sizes?

  • Why does safari is very slow on MacBook Air?, why does safari is very slow on MacBook Air?, why does safari is very slow on MacBook Air?, why does safari is very slow on MacBook Air?, why does safari is very slow on MacBook Air?

    Hello. I am using MacBook Air. Safari is very slow and it doesn't open many websites. for instance: dizi-mag.com . please help me

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them.
    1. Have you restarted your router and broadband modem since you first noticed the problem? If the answer is no, do that now and see whether there's any change.
    2. Are any other web browsers installed, and are they also slow?
    3. What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
    4. Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they also slow?
    5. If you can test Safari on another network, is it slow there too?
    6. If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

  • I am running iPhoto version 9.6 on a 2012 iMac using OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. One event in iPhoto has lost all photo information, and the photos are viewed very small.

    One event in iPhoto version 9.6 has lost all the original photo information, and views the photos as very small.

  • Cannot click on anything in Notification Center, Today view. Running Yosemite, MacBook Air 13" '13.

    After the Yosemite Beta 4 I was unable to use the Today view in Notification Center. Even after the update, nothing changed. And do not see anyway to add widgets, looks like nothing changed since that update Beta 4. Before upgrade to the official version I had the Beta 6. Everything else still looks the same. Keyboard is not responding at times like it used to be. Don't get what is wrong, and not sure if it even properly installed the original version of Yosemite.

    Step 1: uninstall Avast  See how it is as that is a known culprit
    Step 2: Chrome does not play well with OS X and is also sighted as a leading cause
    Step 3: DropBox has been a processor or network hog though less so than the above two.

  • Display of the images became very large in macbook air, display of the images became very large in macbook air

    suddenly the display became very large. it seems like the dsiplay for  the handicap as if in ipad. How to restore to normal display? Thank

  • How do i get rid of "other" on macbook air? its taking up too much room

    How do I get rid of the "other" storage space on my macbook air? it takes up too much on my small 64GB macbook air? I must get rid of it as I have now space to put anything on my computer.

    For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
    Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
    iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
    Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
    According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
    When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as  Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
    See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
    You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
    Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
    Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
    ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
    Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
    Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
    When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

  • Slow email on macbook air

    Hi
    I am very new to macbook air, I bought a new mac 2015 Jan - but the email loading is super slow with opening, sending receiving emails!
    Can someone help with this please
    Many thanks in advance,
    I.

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • How to change font size permanently on macbook air

    I would like to change the font size permanently but being very new to Macbook Air I cannot get it done permanently.

    The guest user icon is a PNG file stored deep within OS X. I don't recommend you change operating system components that exist at that level though. Besides, the change is not likely to survive an OS X update.
    If you really want to change it I'll post its location, but you'll be on your own if something breaks.
    Edit: You'd be facing the same problem as in your other question: How to change folder symbol on desktop back to original? Modifying the Mac's basic user interface fundamentals can result in instability. If you want to perform that sort of customization anyway, always have a backup strategy in case something goes wrong. To learn how to back up and restore read Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac.

    Hello chrispyw,
    If your content is still being displayed incorrectly, I would check the resolution setting for the built in display with this article:
    OS X Yosemite: Adjust your display’s resolution
    If it keeps happening whenever you use AirPlay then I would use this section of the following article to reset the display system:
    Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolution
    Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
    Start up in Safe Mode.
    From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
    Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
    Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
    Restart your computer.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • The PDF file and slideshow view corrupted using iPhoto. Macbook air only get corrupted slideshow and Mac Mini both slideshow and PDF file is corrupted.

    The PDF file and slideshow view corrupted using iPhoto. Macbook air only get corrupted slideshow and Mac Mini both slideshow and PDF file is corrupted.

    Saving as a PDF file for some users have been a problem.  If you boot into  Safe Mode and run iPhoto you can create undamaged PDF files.  We don't know why the problem but this is a workaround.
    This problem prevents many from ordering books, calendars and cards since iPhoto creates PDF file of them for uploading and printing.  Booting into Safe Mode lets them successfully order those items.

  • Is 11inch MacBook Air Too Small?

    Hi,
    I'm totally stuck on which MacBook to upgrade to. I currently have a late 2009 white polycarbonate MacBook. I use it with a 27inch external HD display. My first question is - is it worth an upgrade? My main uses are schoolwork, email, web surfing, the odd movie and the very odd intensive task. Should I upgrade my Mac now or wait another year or two? If I was to upgrade I am looking at an 11inch MacBook Air. 2nd question is - is it too small. I bring my MacBook around alot and would even more if I had the Air but is it too small for what I want to do? I know I have the external display but what when I'm not using it?
    Sorry to be such a vague question,
    Any help appreciated,
    Mg

    Ive owned both 11" and 13" Air, i wouldnt go back to the 11", but thats subjective
    The 13" has a lot more battery and therefore more power for longer hours
    also the 13" has a SD card slot, and of course larger viewing area (obviously).
    The weight diff. to me was next to nothing between the two.

  • Time Capsule and Thunderbolt HDD very slow access via wifi enabled MacBook Air

    I have a Q-RAID thunderbolt external drive attached to the Time Capsule.  I use it to archive movies for viewing via a media server around the house (mostly via WIFI).  Using my MacBook Air to access the files, performance is very spotty.  Sometimes it's very fast (monitoring the "Data Received" via Activity Monitor typically > 3MB/sec) and sometimes it's very very sluggish (Data Received < 200kb/sec).  Any idea?  It's not a home network issue b/c when it's slow, i test it immediately against a networked iMac and i can access large files just fine (Data Received > 2MB/sec).  Thanks.

    I have a Q-RAID thunderbolt external drive attached to the Time Capsule.
    You are killing it.. The connection on the TC is USB2. USB is slow.. slow .. slow interface. It is very CPU intensive.. and depending on what the TC is doing it can slow it down like crazy.. the fact is, the TC was designed to plug in a simple drive.. not a raid array. The access to files in the array .. frankly it is a wonder it works at all. But you should move the Q-RAID to a computer with thunderbolt port and share the disk to the network.. it will go at 10times the speed. or maybe 50times or 100times when you have slow speed. TC is not suitable.
