Text/icons/window/ALL too big! Help please

I'm brand new to the world of mac and have little experience troubleshooting. For whatever reason, only God knows, all that i view on this screen is too big. i tried changing the resolution, restarting, EVERYTHING in system utilities, command + scroll (for zoom) and nothing seems to work.
Any help would be great!
thanks

Thanks Poikkeus but it doesn't seem to be a resolution issue. I've tried all options in res and nothing seemed to work. The dock size hasn't changed, but all else is enlarged. The toolbar text, the windows when I open them. In fact, they're so big that I can't see all the information on a window when it's open.
Any other ideas?

I have a few wedding projects(1-2 hours)I am trying to export at full hd quality,than burn in idvd. After rendering for 8hrs I receive error code that states "file is too big". Please help? compressing tips without losing quality? or any other exporting alternatives?

Hey Z,
Thank you for the tip on exporting by media browser (large) from imovie. But of course, if it's not one thing it's another. Now that I figured how to export a large file from imovie, I have an idvd issue. I followed the instructions for burning from idvd and changing the encoding to professional quality and the burn speed to x4, but I am receiving an error that states the following,
Your project exceeds the maximum content duration. To burn your DVD, change the encoder setting in the Project Info window.
Project:
- total project duration: 79:04 minutes
- total project capacity: 4.327 GB (max. available: 4.172 GB)
Menus:
- number of menus in project: 1 menus
- total menu duration: 0:39 minutes
- total menu capacity: 37.370 MB
Movies:
- total movies duration: 78:25 minutes
- total movies capacity: 4.291 GB
I have searched in the idvd forum for similar issues and I am stumped at this point. I have tried deleting the encoding assets and re launching idvd with the changed preferences, and still the same error. I know you mentioned something about free hard drive space available, and I have very little left. 4GB to be exact due to massive hours of non-edited footage. I am not sure if this is why, but I do not recall ever needing free space to burn memory onto a separate dvd. I would be more than happy if I am wrong, and it would be a quick fix. Otherwise, the technical nightmare continues. It's all a learning process and your expertise is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

I had all photos on a Windows desktop. Got a mac laptop, installed LR5, and put all images from Windows onto an external hard drive. When I go to import them into LR on the Mac, they are all locked. Help, please. Thanks

"I plugged the external into the Mac and moved a folder of images onto the desktop. It looks like it went from read only to not locked. Is this possible?"
Yes, that's exactly what happened. If you buy another drive, you could copy from your existing drive to the new and your files will be read/write. The new drive will have to be formatted as an HFS drive (that's the Mac's format). If you need to format it, you use Disk Utility which is in the Utilities folder on your Mac. Be careful with that -- it wipes out whatever is currently on the drive. Make sure you format the right drive.
I keep all my images on an external drive, too. In fact, I have two matching drives and sync them so I always have a backup.

Scanning: The image size is too big. Please reduce the image height, width, resolution, scaling or output type.

Good Day.
I have recently discovered an issue with scanning. I have tried scanning straight from the printer, through image capture, and through preview. All yeilding the same results since they are essentailly kicking off the same scanning applet. I can scan a jpeg formatted file as long as I applet is in the "Hide Details" mode. If I click on the "Show Details" button, which I need to do to scan to PDF, I immediately receive an error stating: The image size is too big. Please reduce the image height, width, resolution, scaling or output type.
I'm currently using an HP C5180 printer.   The most recently installed software was Adobe Digital Editions (I installed this to read an on-line e-book). Not sure if there is any correlation.    Thanks for any help.

Hello Sig
The scanner works with a Windows computer, which proves the device is functional at a cursory level. The drivers are now distributed by Apple and this is an Apple computer. There is no scanning software provided by HP. HP's answer is that Mountain Lion takes care of all of this. I anticipate that some setting or driver was somehow tweaked since the scanner had been working with Mountain Lion until a few days ago. The device in question is an Apple product. So, I'm pretty confident that I'm in the right place.

New iTunes on Mac doesn't allow me anymore to select all songs and 'Get info' to adjust the volume, like the old one. It says"your selection contains more than one type of media". They are all songs! Help please!

Not true. Select "Kind" as a sort category by right clicking the headings
Then click to sort by Kind
If your Import Settings are for Apple Lossless, AIFF, AAC or whatever the majority of your files are, convert MP3s to that file type.
I've presently got 17,000+ files in my library, and they're ALL MP3 or M4B(Audiobooks). If they weren't when I got them, I converted them. Saves a LOT of hassels with just this type of situation. Besides I have two non Apple MP3 players that WON'T work with other file types besides MP3 so, EVERYTHING I have has to be MP3.

Print window frame too big

Now that I'm running Firefox 4.0.1 (on a Vista 64-bit PC), often when I want to print a web page, the frame around the Windows Print box is too big to fit the screen. The buttons that are critical for controlling print functions, and in particular the print command button itself, lie below the Taskbar, out of sight and unreachable in spite of all attempts to reposition the window using the mouse.
I've checked my screen resolution and it's right for my monitor, unchanged since previous versions of Firefox.
I know I can print by hitting Enter on the keyboard, but it's always taking a chance because, unable to see any buttons, I can't confirm that the settings are as I want them to be.
Is there a solution?

I am trying to resolve a similar problem on a Toshiba laptop running Vista. Dialog boxes are being displayed that fill the entire screen truncating the OK, Cancel and Apply buttons that should appear at the bottom of the dialog box. This is happening on all contol panel and games settings dialog boxes. I have tried the Toshiba zoom settings (FN+Space), but this has not foxes the problem.

When i try to take a self photo on my itouch 5, the shutter doesn't open and i can't take a picture, sometimes my app wont let me take pictures at all...help please?!

i just recently last month got a new itouch 5th generation ipod touch...recently after i had bought it, i noticed that i can't take self photos on my camera...if i am on the regular app taking a regular shot and try to switch it, it just freezes on me and i cant get it back to normal at all...ill have to restart it and leave it off for a day in order for it to work again....i really need help please in order to figure out what to do and if i should just bring it to apple!

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.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Compressor 4.1.2 BluRay Encoded File is too big - Help!

I just encode a 4 hours of HD footage using compressor's Bluray output (H.264 Video & AC3 Audio). It took near 10 hours of seemingly wasted time. I am working with 25g blurry discs and the H.264 File Size is 27.71 gigs. So now I need to re-encode.
How can I control the file size in this newest version of compressor? In the past compressor always knew to keep the h-264 file size under 25gigs. Any ideas?
Thank you!

If you visit the FCP X discussions forum you will several threads about Blu Ray issues. There are clearly some problems that affect some systems in unexpected ways

OK, so after many many hours! The file size still came in too big.
That's why I suggested twice that you do a short, 15 minute test…so you wouldn't have to waste al that time to find out it wasn't encoding the projected size.
Sure. Drop both he average and max bit rate. But do the 15 minute test first to confirm it will fiit. I don't know why it's overshooting but it is and there's some guess work involved,

Text all bunched up - help please

I have one text frame that bunches all my text up when I use 'justify with last line left'.
It's fine everywhere else (about 150 pages).
I've tried everything and am a bit stumped. I'd really appreciate any insight on this.
Here's a screen shot (the paragraph directly under the header is the one that's acting odd).
Thank you!

I undid the two columns, and set span to none and the problem went away. Wish I actually understood why it happened so I can prevent it in the future though.
You already have the answer.
Because I wasn't among those who wished hard for the span-columns feature, I only know it so well. But as far as I can tell, it either somehow steps on or precludes InDesign's paragraph composition features, possibly because it was only really intended to enable the spanning of multiple columns by 1 - 2 -line headlines. My advice is simply don't use it.

Quick time 7 installs without any problems (Windows 7) but it won't at all... help please.

I've installed Quick Time 7 without any problems (Windows 7 - PC) but it won't run at all. QuickTime Player or PictureViewer. I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times also selected "repair" from the uninstall menu. Their are no error messages when I try to run Quicktime. Any ideas?

Okay. It's not likely to be a display preference issue then.
We'd better check to see if some other application has stashed old versions of QuickTime componentry down in your system files. (Error-mesage-free launch failures can sometimes be a symptom of that.)
So we'll go looking for the older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view settings.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

My iPod is screwed up beyond all realization. Help, please.

Okay, so, my iPod worked as clean as a whistle, once upon a time. I have been using iPods on my windows computer sucessfully for about 2 years now. I attempted loading too many songs onto my iPod at once, and it froze. I reset it and saw that I needed to restore my iPod. I restored it, and then attempted to add all of my songs again. The program I was using to do it (winamp) froze. So, I restored my iPod again and attempted using iTunes. It froze again. I attempted it again with iTunes (after restoring it for a third time), in smaller partitions, however it still froze. I gave up for a while. I came back to attempt again, a few weeks later. The iPod displayed the sad emoticon, and then restarted, and got caught in an endless loop of restarting and sad-faceing. Upon connecting my iPod to my computer, it takes about 2 hours for my computer to recognise that there is SOMETHING attached to the computer, and then anytime I try to look at the device, explorer freezes. Also, I cannot simply restore my iPod because the updater utility freezes when loaded. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling all of my iPod software, to no avail. Also, whenever my iPod is connected to my computer, my audio drivers fail and my computer cannot start up. The "Do Not disconnect" symbol remains on the iPod for about an hour after it is disconnected. What should I do? I am stubborn enough and lazy enough that I don't want to just get a new one. Does anyone know of a third party utility I can use to solve my problems? And solutions at all to my problems? Thank you for reading this wall 'o text, by the way.

Application windows do not respond - help please!

Hi everyone
At first I should say that I did search for this topic in search forum section but all of the cases related to freezing windows app. do not match my problem.
So recently something strange occurs: my app windows freezes (I mean I can't close them nor move them) while everything else works (app is responding) - I can quit it using dock. And when I open it again it appears in strange place like the edge of my screen. It happens with very simple apps like: Finder, Safari and iTunes.
The whole thing started the day before (I don't know if it could be related to this) I have installed cocktail - to clean my macbook and quicksilver.
things I tried: I verified and repaired permissions using Disk Utility. I have also verified Disk (it showed me minor error with disk header) and redpaired it using installation disks.
An the problem still occurs!
Please help!

iMac Intel 2 GHz - 1GB RAM, Macbook Intel DualCore - 2GB RAM (black) Mac OS X (10.4.9) Tiger, iLife '06

I have a similar problem, but for me the unresponsive application (iTunes is doing this as I write) cannot be quit using the dock. Initially, when it first became unresponsive, The arrow still appears under its dock icon to indicate it is there, but when I right-mouse the icon, it goes into the state as if the application was not running (no arrow). Right mouse shows "Open" as an option. I can see the app right there...
Activity monitor sees it and allows me to quit it (gracefully - no force quit required) then the app will launch and All is well... until another app exhibits this strange behavior. I have seen this happen to iTunes, Safari, and Finder most often.
At first I thought it had something to do with safari 3 beta, so I backed that out. Only other things I can think that have changed on my system since when it was in working state was Parallels Desktop 3.0 and the 10.4.10 upgrade. It has been misbehaving since June (through several security updates etc).
