The display has become oversize

Hi The desktop and active programme display on my screen has become oversize. I swear I have changed no settings and although I can ZOOM the active programme, it then becomes undersize. I cannot Zoom the desktop as it is greyed out.

Hi all
This is really weird. I carried out all suggested solutions withi absolutely no change even though I tried several times
I had to go out so I left the MBA for a couple of hours and when I returned all was back to normal.
Beats me!!!!!!!!
Thanks for your help.

    Hi, While writing an email online using Firefox 3.6.3, I was using one of the "CTRL+left or right arrow" to move the cursor along the text. I must have pressed some other key because the display has become huge - and I can't scroll vertically or horizontally, which makes using the Mail pages of Hotmail impossible. I have since logged in using MSFT Explorer and it works fine. This problem occurs only on the Mail page of Hotmail Live not on the home page or others.
    Could you please let me know if this is a problem with Firefox, or if you have any advice on how to reset the appearance of Hotmail in Firefox?
    == This happened ==
    Just once or twice
    == While I was compiling an email in Hotmail Live

    Wow, lightning fast and absolutely right!
    Thank you so much!

  • My iphone 4 has become extremely sensitive i cant talk on the phone without putting calls on hold, mute or hanging up!! when i'm in a call it's like the screen has become super sensitive to touch! I tried putting a screen protecter but didnt work pls help

    My iphone 4 has become extremely sensitive i cant talk on the phone without putting calls on hold, mute or hanging up!! when i'm in a call it's like the screen has become super sensitive to touch! I tried putting on a screen protecter but this didnt work please help?

    While on a call, the iPhone display should go black when lifted to your ear. Is this not happening or only happening intermittently?
    Have you tried making calls without your silicone case on? Does this make any difference?
    You could try updating or restoring the software to try to rule that out as a cause. If the issue remains after restoring then the issue is probably hardware related and may need to be serviced.

    Go to System Preferences>Displays and set the resolution to "Best for this computer" (or something to that effect).

  • Equium P200-178 - backlight on the display has failed

    A friend of mine has an Equium P200-178 and the backlight on the display has failed.
    Unfortunately, the machine is three weeks out of its warranty and we are very, very far from a Service Depot.
    Googling the problem indicates that the inverter may have failed but how do you get to it?
    I have removed every screw that I can see on the case but it still won't come apart. I don't want to risk breaking it.
    Any help very gratefully received!
    Cheers.

    Hi
    The FL inverter is a small part which controls the screens backlighting and its placed near the TFT screen.
    Usually its not advisable to disassemble such hi-tech notebooks because such procedure is tricky and you could damage other parts.
    However, it seems you are already on the task and the notebooks covers are already removed.
    Well, I googled a little bit and found this page:
    [Taking apart Toshiba Satellite P205 display panel and removing LCD screen and inverter.|http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/toshiba-satellite-p205/take-apart-display-panel-1.htm]
    Its about P205 but its very similar to the P200 notebook model.
    But note; everything what you do is your own risk!!!!

  • Dropped ice cream on macbook. now the keyboard has become sticky. can i get it cleaned from the inside from applre store or or somewhere else?

    dropped ice cream on macbook. now the keyboard has become sticky. can i get it cleaned from the inside from applre store or or somewhere else?

    If the ice cream as only affected the keyboard and not run onto other components they will perhaps suggest a new keyboard, I would be surprised if the could economically clean it up. If it as gone on the logic board then that is another problem.

  • HT201412 I am reading an e-book and the screen has become blurred to the point that you cannot even see the letter. I checked the e-book in another computer and can be seen without problems. What's worst, when this happens all the web sites have the same

    I am reading an e-book and the screen has become blurred to the point I cannot see the letters. Other pages are patched grey. I checked the ebook in another computer and it shows no problem. Also, when this happens, other web sites get blurred or patched. Do you know what can it be?

    You can try giving it a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot. See if that helps.
    But if it doens't or if hte issue repeats you may want to make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check it out.

    Hi:
    I would try a hard reset of the notebook.

    If that doesn't work and considering all of the other steps you took to remedy the issue, I would say the BIOS update wrecked something permanently.

  • Display has become unglued from top cover!

    About a month ago I noticed a slight misalignment with my cover when I closed it, and upon further inspection I discovered that the black plastic covering of the hinge was popping out slightly. After researching the problem via internet and discovering that many people had similar hinge problems, I (wrongfully) decided that I could wait for servicing until after university was over.
    Well, only about a week ago, after casual dorm usage (not using it while traveling) I closed my computer lid only to discover that there was literally no resistance in the hinge as it closed, and that the problem stemmed from the hinge area of my display literally becoming unglued from the cover. I now cannot close my computer for fear of breaking the screen any further, and I was just wondering about the serviceability of this problem and what I can do to resolve this issue as soon as possible.
    Thanks!

  • How to recreate account.plist after the file has become corrupt

    I updated my system to Mavericks last week and ever since my computer has become dramtically slow. Especially Mail takes about 30 minutes to open. I have discovered that the fault is caused by my account.plist file as it is 24 MB which seems way to big. I have already deleted the file and then Mail opens well and fuctions normal.
    However when I add my accounts again it creates new POP folders in the V2 folder instead of using the old existing ones and it starts downloading the emails that still remain on the server. I would like to keep keep all emails etc just the way they are already on the system but basically just recreate a fresh "account.plist" file. How can I do this without the issue that mail creates new folders but just uses the existing folders???
    I also already tried the following:
    - delete "account.plist"
    - Add new account in Mail
    - New folder is created in the V2 folder for that email address
    - Copy the old mbox files for that account into the automatically new created  folder
    The above seems to work but mail still starts downloading 200+ plus emails from the server.......
    Any help how I can edit my account.plist file and delete unnessesary items there?? It seems that there is a lot of text in the file regarding my hotmail account and I expect that this is causing it to be so large. I have no idea though how to read this file and what I can delete and what not.....
    At this moment I am pretty stuck and any help is welcome here.

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
    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. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • I preordered the One Direction album, and one of the songs has become available. However, it says it is purchased and hasn't gone to my library or purchased list.

    I preordered One Direction's album a few weeks ago, and one of the songs became available. It didn't go into my library or purchased list, and it says 'purchased'.

    This is actually a really common problem with pre-orders right now, seems to be on Apple's end. Songs won't be added to users' libraries as they become available... for instance I pre-ordered the new Foo Fighters album and each time a new song has been released from it I've eventually been forced to cancel my pre-order and start it again because those songs not only WON'T auto-download, but they don't even appear in the purchased section in iTunes. They only show as having been "pre-ordered" in the album page on iTunes, with no way to actually download them... and the user isn't even charged for the new song, so it's as if the pre-order is frozen. This has happened for SEVERAL pre-orders I've had in the last few months, to the point where I'm hesitant to ever pre-order again, as it literally serves no purpose. Two times now I've had the entire album become available, only to NOT download or be added to my library in any way. I ended up (as I said before) canceling my order and starting over. It's really a pain.
