What's the point of the grey space around an image?

I understand the point of the grey space around an image when viewing in 'Fit' mode, because the image may or may not fill up the viewing space depending upon its aspect ratio...
But when you zoom in to 1:1 mode, and you scroll around your picture, why is there still this large amount of grey space around your image? If I scroll to the end of my image, it should just stop scrolling, not scroll over the end of my image into this vast amount of unusable and unnecessary grey space!
It's just annoying that every time I happen to be scrolling around fast, I scroll over the edges of my image into this vast grey space & I just can't fathom the reason for its existence.
For a better picture of what I'm talking about, see here:

Actually, it makes perfect sense to scroll in this fashion. It means that every part of the image can occupy the sweet centre spot of your monitor, even with all the panels open.
Try it. Even that important corner area of the image can be centred on your monitor. Particularly important when performing some spotting along the edges.

What's the point of the x-serve?

what's the point of the x-serve?
of rack mounted computers in general?
Do buyers of rack equipment keep it as long as possible?
I ask that because i wonder how easy it is to sell rack equipment.
Seems easier to rejuvenate a computer parc if its composed of macpros rather than x-serves.
is it only to save space?
do the x-serves do things that the macpro can't?
(or the G5 x-serve than the G5 towers)

The XServe really doesn't do anything that a Mac Pro cannot. It is more about robustness and a useable design.
Except for dual, redundant power supplies and hot-swappable drives - standard on the XServe, not available on the Mac Pro.
It's main raison d'etre, though, is its form factor. If you run a large network of, say, 200 servers you could, power permitting, fit them in about 100 square feet of datacenter space (40 servers per rack for 5 racks, @ 20 sq ft per rack), compared to 660 sq feet to house the same number of Mac Pros.
Since datacenter space is charged by the square foot, that makes a huge difference.

What is the point of the download window if you use stacks?

Greetings,
One of the most annoying things about the download window was the fact that the window always hung around after completing dowloads in Tiger when using safari. To me, that was just a time waster of always pressing Apple+W to close that window.
When Leopard was released, I was excited to realize that one function of the download stack was to recevie downloads from safari after completed. However, after completion, the download window still sticks around and I still have to close it... then navigate to my stack of downloads to mount the image. What is the point of the download window is I use stacks now? Why can't the window disappear after completion?
//Cheers

Aaargh!! Me too - it's so annoying! Firefox has a downloads window as well - I just don't see the point of it. I didn't like it in Tiger either.
As a way to see the progress of downloads, it's fine, but it should at least close when all the downloads are finished, and completed downloads should not display.
Ideally it should look & work exactly like the Copy window in Finder - the one that comes up when you are copying or moving a large file or number of files from one folder to another.
Is there a hack that will make it work like that?

What is the POINT of the Creative Cloud App?

This is a bug report and a rant:
Every time the CC app updates, one or more of my Installed Apps disappear from it. With the last update, all but two disappeared.
The apps themselves (Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Illustrator, Muse, etc.)are all still there on my system, and run fine, they are just gone from the CC app.
So my question is not facetious - WHAT IS THE POINT OF THE CC APP?
Do we need it?
Do we want it?
Please - don't sing me the "uninstall and reinstall" song, I've done it over and over and it won't play.
Fix it or lose it!
Thanks

If you have very good lighting, the 0.7 MP camera takes acceptable photos. Light is all you can do.

When waking from "sleep" screen turns grey under the pointer and the computer is effectively dead. Have to hold power 'off' for five seconds to regain computer.

When waking from "sleep" the screen appears normal but, the pointer leaves a trail of grey as it moves and the whole screen will turn grey if I keep moving the pointer. The computer is effectively dead. Have to shut down by using power off for six seconds and then re-starting. I know little about computers!

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 this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. 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. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
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(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

What's The Point Of The Documents Switch In iCloud Preferences?

According to the help pages on iCloud.com, OS X users must manually upload and download documents as they wish to edit them. This is different from iOS devices as they get the latest version automatically pushed to them.
What's the point of the of the Documents switch in iCloud preferences if nothing happens automatically?

It's a pain uploading and downloading from iworks.com
To me it's a step backwards from using iDisk, Apple needs to sort it out really

I just bought a macbook pro and I want to know how to restore pictures that were backed up on iCloud but then deleted from my phone. Isn't that the point of the backup so I can delete and make more space. Please help!

Log into the iCloud on your MacBook Pro and enable Photo Stream:
Then launch iPhoto and set iPhoto's Photo Stream preferences to the following:
Then check the Photo Stream section of iPhoto:
This is to confirm that the photos are still in Photo Stream. If they are they will be imported into the library.
NOTE: not all photos in an iPhone will be in the Photo Stream. PS only keeps photos in it for 30 days.
If you have the missing photos in your library put them in an album. Connect your iPhone to the Mac and open iTunes. In iTunes you can select that album in the library and sync the photos to your iPhone to get them back on the iPhone.

TS1702 what is the point of the Ipod touch(2nd generation)?Every single app Is not compatible with it.Seems like a complete ripoff to me.My phone was alot cheaper and does way more.Very frustrated with this device.

what is the point of the Ipod Touch(2nd generation)?Every single app is not compatible with it.Am I missing something?My cell phone cost 1/2 as much and does way more.This is why I don't normally purchase any apple products.Overpriced flashlight,that's about all it does.

There are still some apps compatible, with the 2G. Also, since September, Apple has now allowed download the last version of apps that were compatible with the 2G but have been updated to no longer be compatibles
To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app

I pre-ordered an iPhone 6 Plus and the delivery date now says October 14th. The point of the pre-order is to get it on release day (or shortly thereafter). Can I go to a Verizon store to pick up my new phone on release day?

I pre-ordered an iPhone 6 Plus and the delivery date now says October 14th. The point of the pre-order is to get it on release day (or shortly thereafter). Can I go to a Verizon store to pick up my new phone on release day?

I'm not sure that answers the question Candice.
I'm in the same situation. I was up trying to get on the Verizon page at 11:55, kept getting the ECPD error. When finally got through, the Silver Iphone Plus 64 showed arrival of 9-19. At every step of the process, it seemed that I was ordering a phone that would arrive on day1. At no point did it say this was an estimate. At no point did it say it might change. In a big yellow box, it said "9-19". Ordered it, then got confirmation email stating it should arrive at 9-19. Seems like all should be good, right? Order site said 9-19, I've got a confirmation email saying 9-19, done and done.
Then I check the website, and suddenly it changed to 10-14?!?!?!? I feel like this was a bait and switch. I was able to pickup an iphone5 in a local store on launch day, and would not have locked myself into a preorder through Verizon if I had known this would happen!
So, that leads back to the original questions. Lets assume I walk into a Verizon store on 9-19, and there is an available iphone6 plus just sitting there, can I either get that phone as fulfillment of my pre-order. Or, cancel my pre-order and buy that phone right then and there?

How can I reduce the size of a photo proportionally. With my old Mac mini I was able to place the pointer on the bottom right corner hold the shift key until I achieved the desires size.

How can I reduce the size of a photo PROPORTIONALLY? With my old Macmini I was able to place the pointer on the bottom right corner of the picture, hold down the shift key and move the pointer to achieve the desired size.

You'll need to use a 3rd party editor like one of these:
Some Image Editors That Support layers:
Photoshop Elements 11 for Mac - $79
Rainbow Painter - $30
Imagerie - $38
Acorn - $50
Pixelmator - $60
Seashore - Free
Portraits and Prints - Free
GIMP for Mac - Free
Xee 2.1 - free
My personal preference would be for Photoshop Elements for Mac. Most of these will let you select and copy a head from one photo, paste it into another photo, resize and place where you need it.
PSE has a specific feature just for that function. I belive the Adobe site for PSE has a demo video of that feature.

Position of the pointer of the mouse

as I can obtain the position of the pointer of the mouse in an applet
I use "MouseEvent e" and then I use "e.getX () and e.getY ()" and it compiles well
but when I execute the program they make errors.
A piece of the program:
"public class ticker2 extends Applet implements Runnable {
MouseEvent e;
public void paint(Graphics g) {
if(activo && (m.getX ()> origen[indice])
also use a "addMouseMotionListener" in the function "init" that I don't believe that it causes conflicts
Somebody knows where this the error or how should make it well.

Try this,
addMouseListener(
new MouseAdapter() {
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
    if(isSelected)
     System.out.println( e.getX()+e.getY() );
});      If it works I would be happy to relieve you of your dukeDollars :-)

Help!! Why is there a black part in the X when I try to delete my app? It's covering up the supposed to be white space around the X button

Try:
- 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.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Since they all line up on the left site that could be a hardware problem or maybe a software glitch. I have never seen that problem posterd here before
