Thumnail size snaps from small to full screen

hey everybody,
my iphoto libaray has come quite a long way as i used it since there was iphoto 5 (or maybe even earlier). and i created it on my 12" ibook. now i moved it onto my g5 by just copying it to the user > pictures folder which was no problem; everything in place. but the problem is, that the ibook has a resolution of 1024 x 768. with my g5 i use a 23" cinema display which is "a little" bigger. now it seems as if iphoto somewhere remembers the resolution of the ibook because when i move the thumbnail size slider to the right thumbnails get bigger and bigger as it should, but the last step before full screen is 6 columns. that means slider all the way right = one picture full screen. slider one tiny bit to the left = 6 columns. normally i move the slider to any direction and there are more and more columns, but one more after the other (1, then 2, then 3, …).
what i want is e.g. 3 columns which means quite large thumbnails, because i often have to view those pics closely.
so has anybody any idea where the "gear transmission ratio" of the slider is saved? or any other idea how to fix this problem?
thanks in advance.

Achim:
Try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that is in your User/Library/Preferences folder. I think that should reset that viewing option back to default. You'll have to reset all of the other preferences for iPhoto also.
You do know that you can select from 1 to 6 photos and then click on the furthest right button just below the Source pane to view and edit them in full screen mode side by side. It's the button right next to the keyword button.

Are those pictures of a Smart Car? We say a bunch in Paris. Very practical for city use.

  • How do I make a high-res picture SMALLER than full screen?

    I'm making a credits sequence for a friend's wedding and I'd like to make the pictures smaller than full screen so I can show text at the same time. Is this something I can do in iMovie, or am I going to have to fight with FinalCutPro? I should mention I have an older version of iMovie. Any tips on how to do this in iMovie or FinalCut would be appreciated!

    You can use the Picture in Picture feature. See here for details.

    Another way to do it would be to create your Photo in Photoshop or similar app at the size you need over a background. You can then import the JPEG into iMovie.
    You can use the Scrolling Titles in iMovie, but you might also consider using Keynote. In this demo, I created text in Keynote. Then I exported as a QuickTime Movie and then used in in iMovie with a Picture in Picture.

  • ITunes music videos playing small on full screen mode

    Hi,
    When I select full screen to play a music video in iTunes it doesn't play full screen but its seems about half the size it should be. Please could someone tell me how to get it back to playing in full screen mode again?
    Thank you,
    Amy

    Hello Amy, welcome to the Apple forums.
    Where did you get the video from?
    Drag your video from iTunes, on to the Desktop to copy it.
    Right click on the video icon and choose "Get Info".
    A long window will open on your desktop. Look in the section "More Info:" then, directly underneath, "Dimensions" there will be some numbers there such as 720x480. Post the numbers you are seeing, here. It would also be helpful to know which computer and monitor you are using.

  • Adobe Flashplayer is smaller in Full Screen Mode

    I have Flashplayer 10,1,53,64 installed. When I play a clip , say from BBC news, it's OK in normal mode but goes to a mostly black screen with small screen in the centre when I try to view it in Full Screen Mode
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I installed Ver 10

    The fix is to change your screen resolution.
    I had the same problem and changed my screen resolution to:
    1280 - 768
    And fullscreen worked fine.
    a word of warning though using windows 7 64 bit. Don't update the Adobe player, and if you have unistall it and get adobe player 9. (the previous version).

  • Aspect ratio wrong and different from QT in full screen mode

    Hi all,
    I created a video using anamorphic records from my camcorder in Final Cut Express HD. QT displays the final movies (MPEG 4 H.264) just fine in either partial or full screen mode. When played in Front Row, the video height is stretched. Any ideas why or how to fix?
    Movies are being played on a Mini connected to a 40" LED TV with 1366x768 resolution.
    Thanks in advance.

    It is true you can change the properties but it appears that Front Row expects all movies to have square pixels and thus displays all pixels as square. QT did/does understand the anamorphic properties and display movies correctly.
    As an aside to all, the previous solution was to generate all movies at 853x480. This results in a green bar on the 853rd column (at least when generating using Final Cut Express HD). I regenerated the movies at 852x480 and the bar went away. No other noticable effects.

  • My windows are never complete after dragging them down from others in full screen...

    When I want to extract a tab from an app in full screen to create a new window, the window that is created is never complete... a bit is always missing at the bottom... Has anyone noticed the same problem?

    I'm having the same problem on a home PC running Windows 7 64-bit SP1 and Office 2010 but I'm not running Norton.  Started with one of dozen or so .PST files I have for various accounts.  The first "...the file so that..." folder has no properties
    and I couldn't delete it.  Subsequent "...the file so that..." (those with .1 and .2, etc) I could delete.  Thought I had the problem solved by simply creating a new .PST file and moving all my mail from the affected. PST file and closing the affected
    one.  That worked for a couple of days but I notice this morning I have the same thing in a completely different .PST file.
    Again, I don't use Norton and have been using the same add-ins for quite some time but this just started in the last couple of weeks.

  • How to disable app from opening into full screen mode

    Dear all I'm on OSX 10.8.4 and every time i start an app it'll go to full screen even after quiting it and opening the app again. Is there a way to stop this from happening

    Full-screen mode is controlled by you. If you take it OUT of full-screen mode (go to the very top right of the screen, wait for the menubar to drop down, click the blue inward-facing arrow icon), and THEN quit the app, it will remember the preference and open in normal windowed-mode next time.

  • 'Custom' frame size sequence displaying weirdly in full screen mode...

    I cutting an IMAX film, the frame is 1428 x 1050 (virtually 4:3 ratio). In ProRes it plays and works just fine on the timeline, proper proportions in the canvas and viewer windows ... and when I open it to full screen it works, proper proportions, as a 'still' image; but when I hit 'play' it pops into a 16:9 sort of frame ... the image squashed.
    This doesn't happen with an 'uncompressed' codec, only with ProRes.
    Is there any way I can set something in FCP to compensate for this? So it will actually play the custom frame in its proper proportions in a full screen mode?

  • Yosemite: How do I get back from full-screen to original window size?

    Okay, so today I used iPhoto for the first time since I reluctantly upgraded to Yosemite on Friday.
    iPhoto is one of the few apps I often take into full-screen mode, and so obviously I noticed today that they've kindly taken away the full-screen arrows in the top right-hand corner of the window in Yosemite.
    Posting a question about that in Support revealed the 'new improved' way to go full-screen, which is to click on the green traffic light in the top left-hand corner of the window.
    Fair enough, but how do I get my iPhoto window back to the size it was before I went full-screen? I tried clicking the green-button again, but that insists on the window being what I call 'maximised', ie. spread across the entire width of my desktop. I want to snap from full-screen back to the window size I had before going full screen.
    The arrows in the top right-hand corner used to do that perfectly well, but they're not there any more so I'm having to resort to laboriously re-sizing my window each time, which is far from ideal.
    Anyone able to advise me please?

    Do we know if it is iPhoto-specific, or do all app windows behave in this way?
    Actually, I suppose I could find that out for myself...

  • ScreenSaver coming on when in Full Screen Mode

    Hi Guys,
    My father-in-Law got the Quicktime pro 7 for windows, I still haven't been able to get him to buy a mac... but that's another story. When we installed the software on his laptop, everything works fine, but when watching an .mp4 file, we noticed that along the way every 15 mins the screensaver would take over the screen, we where watching in full screen mode, this of course it not right cause in my Mac, no screensaver takes control away from quicktime in full screen mode. We had to reset the screensaver to never for us to watch the .mp4 file.... please fix this in the next windows update. Or let's us know what settings to use for this not to happen. Thanks

    Most screen savers allow the user to set the "time" when they start.
    Set the delay longer than the QuickTime file.
    Send to "Feedback" to request changes in the software. This one bugs me at times, too.

  • Problem with full screen mode

    When I preview documents and pictures from desktop, the full screen mode does not hide the dock. It comes in the way of the preview controls and is very annoying. How can I fix this?

    I found the fix for this!
    You simply go to dock preferences and uncheck the boxes that are on the bottom. Then restart your computer and go into dock preferences and recheck the boxes. Now you will see the full screen mode work normally!

  • Why is one of my dual screen grayed out when in full screen mode on the other?

    I just added a second monitor for an extended desktop. When I go into full screen mode on one the other greys out. Is there a way to fix this or am i stuck? thanks!!!

    No that is just the way it is. Apple still can't figure out how to do full screen apps. When you put any app into full screen mode it make a second desktop to run that app on. When that happen the second monitor, in a dual monitor setup, has nothing to do as everything is on the main monitor in different desktops.
    You'll have to just expand the app to the max window size instead of going into full screen. Then you can drag/place different apps on each monitor.

  • Auto Full Screen - how can I turn off

    I have a Dell Latitude D620 connected to a port replicator. I use two monitors on the PR. Whenever I launch a QT movie (using 7.1 that came with iTunes) it opens the movie up in a regular QT player window on my main monitor and then in full screen mode on my second monitor.
    How can I stop it from opening the full screen automatically?
    Dell Latitude D620   Windows XP Pro   nvidia

    Interestng I run two monitors also and have tryed to do the opposite. But don't know what a port replicator is, maybe you can explain? I use two video cards to run each monitor. As you may know they have to be set-up as 1 and 2 in windows OS. Also if stuck in full screen the microsoft key on the keyboard will take you out of it

    Could somebody help me please ?

    There isn't any such command in Safari. If you really want that ability, you would need to use Saft.
