Wallpaper will not size.

I cannot size the picture that I would like to use for my wallpaper and lock screen. I have set the aspect to 3x2 and have tried "pinching" the picture, still it will not set. Any suggestions?

Look at the section below called "More Like This". This has been asked and answered many time already. You should be able to find what you're looking for in one of those links.

Destop wallpaper will not set.

My desktop wallpaper will not set... actually it sets or flashes to my choice I make and quickly reverts back to default.
Any clues as to how I can fix it?

Preference files are where your personal settings are stored. Every preference you set in every application and pref pane is written to one of these .plist files. Sometimes these files get corrupted. I'm not sure why. But my experience with OS X since 2002 tells me to check there first when something starts acting wonky.

Wallpaper will not scale

I am trying to set my lock screen photo and the bottom says move and scale. It will not scale though. I try to pinch the picture smaller but it bounces back to the zoomed in view. How can I scale the picture down so I am not looking at only the headlight but the whole car?

No one would know when or if an update is coming, unless Apple announces, which is rare.

Login wallpaper will not change

Hello,
I had until recently been able to use the application Desktop 2 Login to change my login wallpaper. Today I attempted to do so and now I only get the default blue screen. I have attempted using the sudo commands in terminal as well as deleting my com.apple.loginwindow.plist from /users/usernam/Library/Preferences/. I then rebooted and ran the Desktop 2 Login again, unfortunately the login remains the default and the com.apple.loginwindow.plist file never recreates. I have also attempted to use the Login Back application and verfifed that the /System/Core Services/defaultdeskotp.jpg is the correct image. Any additional help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!

I was able to resolve this problem so heres the answer for anyone who stumbles across this thread.
Problem:
Misconfigured com.apple.loginwindow.plist file. I had attemtped to delete it and let it auto recreate but that never seemed to work for me.
Solution:
Download Plist Editor Pro(free trial download). From the menu select generate/view all. It will show you a list of all Plist files. There should be a few but only one will have a path to your *.jpg file. One the proper Plist file is located use the Plist editor to change the path to /System/Library/CoreServices/DefaultDesktop.jpg, if the plist file is not pointing to this image file it will just give you a blank sceen. Also this file must be in .jpg format with 71 dpi or it will aslo give you a blue screen.
I hope this helps someone as it took me several hours to figure out. :]

Wallpaper will not set

I followed instructions for setting an image as wallpaper but the background is still black with icons(default)

That's normal. When you 'set as wallpaper' that image is only seen on the unlock screen, not the home screen(s).

Satellite A300 PSAG0A - Games Will Not Display in Full Screen Size

I have a large number of games installed on my computer. At least 90% of them will not display in full screen size but display in a small window with a large amount of black screen surrounding the window. I am running Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit. However, I do not think it has anything to do with Windows as my husband runs the same games on his Toshiba Satellite L300, running exactly the same version of windows, and they all display in full screen size.
Altering the screen resolution makes no difference. And, of course, I do select the full screen option in the games.
Also, sometimes when I have been playing a game and then closed it I find that my desktop picture has shrunk to the smaller size - the same size as the window in which the game was displayed when I was playing it.
The games work fine in every other way, it is only this small screen size which is driving me nuts.
I hope that someone can help me with this!!

Yes, as far as I can tell I have the latest driver. But, even this is confusing to me because....
My graphics media accelerator is Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family. The installed driver version is 7.14.10.1329. The release date for this is 2007-09-13, as far as I can tell from web searches.
However, on the Toshiba website for driver downloads, the available driver version is 8.2.0.1012 PV. The date is 2006-12-28. I have downloaded this driver and attempted to install it. I get the message that it has been installed but, after rebooting and checking the installed driver version is still 7.14.10.1329.
Perhaps, the 8.2.0.1012 PV version does not actually install because it is older than the currently installed version. I would have thought that the driver version with the higher number would be the newer one, but perhaps this is not the case as the dates do not seem to support this theory.
So now I ask myself, firstly, if the driver available for download on the Toshiba website is not the newest one, then why is it there?
Secondly, if it is the newest one then why will it not install on my computer?

Why FlowLayout - JPane will NOT auto adjust in size?

Hello java friends,
I don't understand why my little demo program's JPane(use FlowLayout manager) will not adjust the size correctly. When run, I see one row of buttons, which only show 11 of them; the rest are shown on secon row which only visible if I go resize the window. Why is that? Wouldn't FlowLayout manager will auto size the pane? My main frame used the pack() method, so it's up to the pane's preferredsize. Please give me some ideas. Thanks.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Template {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
         JFrame mainFrame =new JFrame("Template");
        mainFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        mainFrame.setContentPane(new TemplatePane());
        //Display the window.
        mainFrame.pack();
        mainFrame.setVisible(true);
class TemplatePane extends JPanel
          implements ActionListener {
     JButton componentAry[] =new JButton[100];
     TemplatePane() {
          this.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
          for(int i=0; i<componentAry.length; i++) {
               componentAry[i] =new JButton("Test#"+i);
               componentAry.addActionListener(this);
               this.add(componentAry[i]);
     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
          System.out.println(ae.getActionCommand());

I did read the API doc:
>>>>
A flow layout arranges components in a left-to-right flow, much like lines of text in a paragraph. Flow layouts are typically used to arrange buttons in a panel. It will arrange buttons left to right until no more buttons fit on the same line. Each line is centered.
>>>>
My question is why won't it adjust the pane size if the there is more than one line? It did draw the second line for things that won't fit in the first line... just not visible unless the whole window is resized to a bigger view. Can you please provide an explanation?

Different page sizes in one pdf file will not scale to print correctly

Hello all,
     I have a pdf document that contains three different page sizes; 8.5"x11", 11"x17" and 34"x22". These pdf files are custom manuals and we print many of these over the course of a month.
     In the older versions of Adobe Acrobat when printing this type of file, I could click print, select the page setup size to 11"x17", then select shrink oversize pages (or fit, depending), and choose paper by pdf page size and I would get the following pages from the printer - 8.5"x11" page would print on a 8.5"x11" paper, 11"x17" on 11"x17" and (most importantly) 34"x22" on 11"x17". We do this because our printer does not have paper larger than 11"x17" yet the customer also receives a soft copy of the file and many times prints the large pages full size as needed on their large format plotters.
     With the newer versions of Acrobat, this will not work. The only way these files will print automatically is to scale the 22"x34" down to 8.5"x11".   Why would I want to scale it smaller than my largest available paper size? Also, all of the 11"x17" pages in a multi page size document will come out of the printer rotated 180° yet Adobe shows them correctly when the file is opened.
     Also, when I use the settings above, the print preview box shows the document correctly! The HP technicians have the latest drivers installed and they have shown me where it seems that Adobe is not even sending the larger sheets but instead stops the printing process with an error. So I try to send a 20 page document but Adobe stops at the first 22x34 page.
     We have now lost our old computers with every last old version of Acrobat that I could use to make this work due to mandatory hardware and OS upgrades. I must find a way to print these documents without individually selecting different pages to print and then trying to assemble the document afterward.
     How do I preserve the pages sizes in my document and print the large pages scaled down to the largest paper size I have available in my printer?
Thanks ahead of time.

Ajlan,
     Thank you for your time. I am still having the issue. I am using Adobe reader 11.0.09 and Adobe Acrobat 10.1.12. Neither one have the option in the print menu that you show for a physical printer. They only offer that option for an Adobe PDF creation driver.
     It seems as though the printer you have selected in your menu is only for creating a pdf. I need to physically print the pdf. Do you have this same option when you select a physical printer?
(edited to update screen shot)

Thanks -

The collum to the right listed similar problems. The solution appears to be that under smtp outgoing settings the user name and password are listed as optional. I have not plugged in the information and it seems to be working. However from my office it always allowed the relaying. The true test will be when I try to respond later from the road.
Thank you for your help.

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5.0 will not print SRA3 size paper

I created an Adobe InDesign file 320x450mm (SRA3) and saved it as a a High Quality PDF. However, when I print from Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 with SRA3 paper size settings, it defaults to A4 and the printer will not register the SRA3 paper size request. The tech from Canon updated the printer driver which increased print dialog options such as Paper Handling, Paper Source etc. (which I didn't have before) and spent over an hour running tests. We both agreed there was a software issue since there were not issues from other software:
I can print SRA3 files from InDesign and Microsoft Word, but not Adobe Acrobat Pro.
This is an ongoing problem since I often receive artwork in PDF format at this size.
My workaround is to place the PDF into InDesign, line up the crops by eye and print to SRA3 paper which works fine until I need to do a double sided print which becomes slightly innacurate and often time consuming.
Canon printer driver specs:
V2.0
iR-ADV C5045/5051 PS (UK)

What happens if you select other paper sizes? Also ensure that 'choose paper source by PDF page size' is not checked at your print dialog.
Kindly let us know your results and if possible please forward us your pdf at [email protected]
Looking forward to help you out.
Thanks

Bootcamp Partition Will Not Mount - Size Bootcamp Partition Will Not Mount - Also Size Discrepancies

I have bootcamp installed on an internal hard drive in my Mac Pro running 10.8.5. This HD had two partitions, one of which I had 200GB allocated for my Windows install. I reached a point where I was at nearly 100% capacity on that drive and needed more room. This is what I did:
Used Disk Utility to shrink the Mac OS Extended partition.
Erased free space on that partition.
Booted back into Windows and used MiniTool to extend the bootcamp partition to unallocated space.
MinoTool then performed a restart and finished it's job upon startup.
I am still able to boot into Windows and Mac just fine and I did create a backup of each OS before starting.
I have two issues now, however. Parallels no long recognized that Bootcamp partition. I decided to delete that VM and I had to uninstall Parallels completely anyways due to an upgrage isse to Parallels 9. After upgrading, Creating a VM from my BC was not an option. This is because the BC partition will not mount, it is greyed out in Disk Utitlity.
I tried installing Tuxera NTFS and the disk still cannot be mounted.
The other issue is that Disk Utility does not show the Bootcamp partition with the correct size. It still shows it with the original 200GB but does show that the Mac Partition was shrunk. In Windows, however, either using MiniTool or Windows Disk Managment, it shows the correct sizes for the partitions.
I'll attach a screenshot of DU.
I would like to be able to mount the drive successfully so that I can use the partition once again for Parallels.
This is the system.log display when attempting to mount the BOOTCAMP partition and when disabling Tuxera from the system preferences:

How do I change the dimensions of an image? The Image Size dialog box will not allow me to change it

How do I change the dimensions of an image? The Image Size dialog box will not allow me to change dimensions. I am taking an online class and the Image Size dialog box looks different than the one I am seeing in Photoshop CC. It has the option to change the dimensions.

When you say chage the dimentions, do you mean crop the image and adjust the size of the image at the same time, or do you mean you want to just resize the image? Can you post a screen shot of what you're trying to do?

File size will not automatically refresh in a finder window

i'm not sure how long this has been going on, but i've noticed that when i save a file onto an external drive, the size listed will not update automatically and says "zero k". if i change the window view to thumbnails, or to columns, then back to file list, the size is then listed correctly.
does anyone have a fix for this so it will update automatically?
my permissions have all been verified ...

Dear Bob,
I am having the same problem but your solution does not swork for me. I have 6 VPCs on my "host" PC and 5 of them are working normally but one has gone into shut down mode but will not shut down. Due to memory restirctions, I can only run 2 VPCs at a time
so this one is cutting that to one. I found I can hibernate it by using CTRL-ALT-DEL on the host and doing "End task" on the dodgy VPC, but it still says "Running" in the Virtual Machines folder and it will not let me delete the .vsv file for the dodgy VPC.
If I then rty to open it again, the window opens but with "Shutting down" showing and none of the VM menus work: shut down and restart both say "Cannot shut down this virtual machine"; tools / integration features runs but says it cannot start integration;
Ctrl+Alt+Del does nothing at all. Ideally, I would like to restart the VM to get a few settings from it and then shut it down and delete it (it is a failed development) but right now I would settle for anything that gets rid of it altogether! Any suggestions?
Why doesn't MS provide a way of forcefully shutting down a VM?
