The pages become too big for the screen on Macbook pro

Hello,
Yesterday I was watching a movie on amazon.com using my Macbook Pro (retina display if it helps). I connected it to my TV via HDMI and put it on full screen. After the movie I was too lazy to tidy up and went to sleep. This morning, when I opened it, on the 'safari' ( I don't know if its the same name in english because my computer is in french) and battle.net have 1/3 of the page is outside the borders of it horizontally and vertically. I also feel that everything is bigger. I tried restarting it or closing the pages and opening them again but it doesn't work. Please help me because I use my laptop for everything I do and I need it as soon as possible. Please excuse any spelling mistakes.

Sorry I found what the problem was but I can only explain in french, you have to go to 'preferences system' then to 'Moniteurs' and click on 'Optimal (retina).

When I open my iPad the page is too big for the screen and won't shrink down. The keypad has also become very 'sticky'

Recently when I open any apps the pages are too big for the screen. They shrink when pinched but immediately become bigger again. It's very difficult to scroll too. The keypad has become very sticky. Missing letters and spaces when I type and needing to tap the keys much harder than usual

I have the exact same problem, I think. I was on my iPad 3's home page swiping R-L to locate a certain icon when all of a sudden the screen appeared to get HUGE. So big I could only see one or two icons. I couldn't even turn it off to try a reboot because after I pushed the sleep/wake button, I couldn't find the red slide bar. I finally just had to wait for the battery to die, then recharge it, and it looked normal again. I also spoke with several friends who haven either iPads or iPhones, and they've all had this happen to them. I checked my accessibility settings, and Zoom was already off. So what is causing this problem for so many people, and what can we do to prevent it? Please help.

Hi,
Try resetting the zoom by pressing '''Ctrl''' + '''0''' (zero) on the keyboard. Please [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/how-do-i-use-zoom?s=zoom+feature&r=0&as=s see this.]

I just got Firefox and the page is too wide for my screen and I can't see the scroll bar or other tools

I have a 19" flat screen monitor.

A few things to check:
(1) Full screen mode
The F11 key switches between normal and full screen modes. Make sure you are in normal mode with all the regular bars showing.
(2) Compatibility
One thing that sometimes happens is that Windows sets up Firefox in a compatibility mode. If the whole desktop changes resolution when you start Firefox, then that is the first thing to check. Close Firefox, right-click the program icon you use the start it up, choose Properties, then the Compatibility tab, and clear out any checkboxes that might be checked there.
(3) Zoom
It is easy to zoom the page accidentally using the mouse scroll wheel. To reset zoom, you can use Ctrl+0 (that's a zero) or
View menu > Zoom > Reset
When you are using the orange Firefox button (short menus), you can tap the Alt key or press F10 to display the classic menu bar to use the old View menu.
If those don't help, can you describe what sites are affected?

Why is it that the wallpapers are too big for the screen? I liked how in iOS 6 that you could make it whatever size you wanted. Please Please Please bring that back and you will have one happy customer!!!

Is there is a reason why pictures in iOS 7 don't work well with setting your backgrounds??
This needs to be changed back to iOS 6 style for setting backgrounds, otherwise everything else is good.

"Why" - because Apple designed it that way, probably to allow for the motion-parallax effect in the iOS 7 home screen. It has been this way since iOS 7 was released 6 months ago. Why are you first noticing it now?

When firefox is loaded the display is too big for the screen & blocks out controls

When I load Firefox Home, the display is too large to fit into the screen making it impossible to see the controls (Toolbar and log-out cross etc) This has only just happened, everything was working perfectly until about an hour ago

Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.
If that works then close Firefox (File > Exit/Quit) to save that setting.

The print is too big for the page, some of the article is cut off . Why?

The printer was working fine. Suddenly that changed. Now when I print, the print is huge and a large part of the text is cut off. I tried reducing the size of the font but that did not help. This had happened to me before about a year ago and I tried different things with firefox and was finally able to fix it. However, this time I have tried all your troubleshooting tips and nothing works. The print function was working normally up to a couple of days ago and to the best of our knowledge neither my husband and I have made any changes to the settings.

Firefox > Print -> Print Preview = what is the '''Scale''' set for?
'''Shrink to Fit''' is usually the best setting for most web pages.

PC - TV [Video too big for TV Screen.]

Hi,
I'm running Windows XP with an FX 5200 128 Video Card. I have an S-Video plug that turns in to a Yellow RCA wire and plugs in to my TV. I have my display properties set to "Clone".
When I play a video using Windows Media Player, I can see it on my Computer Screen as well as my TV.
However, the picture on my TV seems to be slightly cropped. It looks like I am missing the TOP and SIDE portions of the Video. The video fills the entire TV screen, but it looks like the picture is too big for the TV and I'm not seeing the edges.....
Any suggestions,
Thanks,
Andrew.....

make sure you're using the correct display drivers from nVidia Drivers
then in the driver control panel for your TV settings, use the zoom controls to adjust how the picture looks on your TV

A document page opens that is too big for the display and runs off the end of the monitor

How do you fix a problem where document pages open that are too big for the display and runs off the end of the monitor? The borders are off the monitor so there is no window edge to grab and adjust.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

My iPad standard window is bit too big for the screen.

My iPad screen unexpectedly got slightly too big for the display window. The size is bit too big. For example, the keyboard when it pops up does not fully display all tkey sans. Another example is the time/power remaining bar slips out of sight. Did I accidentally change something? Is this an issue with version of iOS that I am using (4.3.3)? (Note I'm not talking about resizing by using your fingers.)

John,
I am having the same problem. The enlargement is not the same as the 3 finger tap or the 2 finger zoom. The screen opens and then bumps to a slightly larger screen just enough to make it too big to see the outer edges. You can put 3 fingers on the screen and move the screen to see the edges but you cannot get it to shrink to the correct size. This is the second time this has happened to me. I am also having some other issues. Sometimes while in an app the app will close and I will be diverted to the home screen. And sometimes when playing "with Friends games" the letters on the letterboard (not the key pad) disappear, will not move or are giant. I plan on taking it back to the Apple store this week but I hate the idea of having to start over.

Screen on my phone it seems to be too big for the phone

Don't know if this a major problem but its bloody annoying! I've installed os 3.0.1 on my iphone 3gs 16gb and there was no problems, however when I looked at the screen on my phone it seems to be too big for the phone, only by 1-2mm. I'm able to move the screen either up or down by touch but its annoying, I can either have my signal strength, clock and battery showing or the phone,mail, safari and ipod at the bottom, obviously I keep the top of the screen visible but it wasn't like that before I downloaded that stupid update!! I would rather go back to 3.0 but I can't find it anywhere? any ideas anyone

Have you zoomed in a little as per p. 187 of the manual... http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf
If not, try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

My tab default is1.25 which is too big for the A5 document I'm working on, how do I change the default tab so that I don't have to reset each individual line?

Hi Hannah,
Inspector > Text > Tabs Button > Tab Settings > Default Tabs.
To set a tab stop on the go, click in the ruler.
If you can't see the ruler, Menu > View > Show Rulers.
To set tab stops for lines (paragraphs) you have already typed, select those paragraphs and set them all at once.
Also, have a look at Menu > Pages > Preferences > Rulers.
Regards,
Ian.

My CS3/PS has started to change the cursor into a line of three VERY small icons when dragged over a picture or menu. Thus it is VERY difficult for instance to drag a layer in the layer list to the wastebasket - the cursor simply is too big for the waiste

My CS3/PS has started to change the cursor into a line of three VERY small icons when dragged over a picture or menu. Thus it is VERY difficult for instance to drag a layer in the layer list to the wastebasket - the cursor simply is too big for the waistebasket icon. Even all other exact work is impossible. Of course I have checked all the cursor presets but nothing seems to help. My OS is Windows7.

Have you tried resetting Preferences?
A logical next step would be to reset your Preferences.
To reset Preferences:
If Photoshop is already open on your screen, close it (Quit). Then hold down Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and start Photoshop.
A dialog box will pop up asking if you want to delete the existing Preferences file (the "Settings"). Click Yes in the dialog box. The existing Preferences file will be scrapped and a new one will be created.

regds,

This is a really hard post to read. See if you can take a bit of time to reword it, but one thing I do understand is that you are getting this error:
page header plus page footer too large for the page.
Typically, you can trust that if the error is thrown, it is true. E.g.; this is not one of those errors that says one thing, and means another. I suspect that you have some field(s) in the header(s) that grow, depending on the data. If there is too much data or the data is too long ( a text for example), the error will be thrown. To resolve this, see if placing the field(s) into a group footer / header will help.
