Try restarting iTunes.

Why are my icons larger than normal when I turn on phone?

Why are the icons larger than normal when turning on phone? How can I resize them back to normal?

Double-tap the screen with THREE fingers. Then go to Settings/General/accessibility and turn off Zoom.

On apple tv why are photos too large on slideshow

I set up album in my iphoto,
selected it on apple tv
why are some photos too large and chopping off top of photos?

When you first sync photos to your iPod, or everytime you add new photos, iTunes goes through a process of optimizing your photos for the iPod before actually sync'ing. You can see it countdown on the screen. The results are kept in the "iPod Photo Cache" folder.
I was under the impression that this optimizing was more a process of collecting together 25 thumbnails and putting them together in a single file together so that it enabled the ipod to show 25 pictures at once with the option to select one.. Are you sure the thumbnails are actually altered in any way.

Why are my aliases larger than 4k ?

I just set up a whole lot of image files in a special alias folder. I expected each alias to be 4k in size. About 10% are 4k, the rest are between 44k and 56k.
The originals are all Photoshop JPEGs, created in Photoshop 2 and Photoshop 7.
I thought an alias was just a file pointer. Why are some of them so large? Is there any way to make them smaller? They are taking up way too much space on my USB thumb drive.

Ok Niel - so far, so good. I have done what you suggested, and yes I now have a folder of 4k aliases - so thank you for that idea.
The one small problem is that there is no icon of the image that the alias represents, at least not until I click on the alias name in column view, when it shows up nicely. But in list view, icon view, or unselected in column view, I can't see what it is. Is there any way around this? I have tried using Get Info to paste the image into the icon field, but it won't let me do it, and I suspect that would increase the size to more than 4k. What I want is the old OS 9 system that would create a 4k alias AND give me a tiny image of the file as well.
If I really can't do it, then I will have to live with using the filename alone, but at least I have 4k aliases.

Why are Updates so large?

Why are iTunes updates for Windows so large in file size? Downloading a fresh version of iTunes + Quicktime is currently a 55mb download. However, the Automatic Updates that I am prompted for regularly are always around 65-70mb in file size. Why so big?
Is this a hint of poor coding for the Windows version of iTunes? A patch should be no where near the size of the original download, much less LARGER.
Thoughts?

Well, duh. The point is why. Designing software (that they know will have regular updates) without a patch system in-place is obviously a poor design choice.
And why the 'update' is consistently larger than the original full download is beyond ridiculous. I can download 7.6.1 from apple.com/itunes for 55mb, or I can let the automatic update run and be a 65mb download. Makes no sense.
I guess I can't expect a real answer to this (unless a representative from the Apple team is aware of why such a ridiculous decision was made) - but figured I'd rant about it anyway.

Why are files larger after importing? idvd 08.

why when i import a 2.38gb file does it say 4.92gb and its too large for project? any answers are greatly appreciated. thank you.

Material on a DVD must be in a standard format, and video's format is mpeg-2. It sounds like you must have a video in a very compressed format and so iDVD has to uncompress it and change formats (transcoding).
Really though, what matters is length. iDVD can fit up to 1 hour of material at highest resolution (best performance setting in preferences) and up to 2 hrs maximum (best quality setting). Or you can use the Pro setting, and it will take a bit longer to encode/burn, but the quality should be similar to Best Performance.

Why are my .m4v downloads not playing correctly on QuickTime 7.0.4?

Can anyone out there help, please? I downloaded the Pixar shorts (.m4v format), which should only play on QuickTime. Except they aren't playing correctly: the picture is fine; the sound is stuttering and off-sync. BACKGROUND: I've got a mother of an Windows XP Pro animation system with DSL. I've tried all the QuickTime Preferences suggested on this website to no avail. Any other suggestions? Thank you.

I have a similar problem. When I try to play TV episodes that were downloaded (in .m4v format) using iTunes, QuickTime (7.0.4) will play video without audio, and when I press "stop", QuickTime locks up!
My system used to play these files PERFECTLY, until I downloaded some shareware video format conversion programs (that didn't work, anyway). I believe one of them installed a shared DLL or CODEC or something that is conflicting with QuickTime. I'VE UNINSTALLED AND REINSTALLED QUICKTIME AND ITUNES COUNTLESS TIMES, trying to follow different people's advice, mostly from posts on this site, but nothing helps!!
The thing we have in common is that it sounds like you also have other video software that could have conflicting CODECs or shared DLLs. DOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW TO TRACK THIS PROBLEM DOWN??
And why doesn't Apple make a CLEAN uninstaller and a COMPLETE installer? People shouldn't have to do the manual registry editing and file deletions that other people are recommending!!!!!

Why are files going offline when exporting from premiere

Hi all
I've got a feature length documentary of 2 hours. All files are online but upon exporting from premiere via media encoder the finished file has 'media offline' on some shots. I have NO idea why this is happening. All clips are online on the timeline.
I'm exporting both blu-ray mpeg and dvd mpeg. The project is on an external hard drive. Can anyone help this is a nightmare!?
Will exporting via premiere pro direct fix this problem?
Thanks

Can't you see how the video is pixelated? Mainly around the nose and forehead?
Nope. Looks fine when I watch it.

Why are files in Firefox 33 cache directory different size than saved files on desktop

In previous versions of Firefox I used the cache directory to extract videos, flash files and hidden images, that were not saved in folder and a HTML Document file on desktop. For Example the opening image of a YouTube Video can not be extracted and saved from Firefox but is stored in the cache directory.
To find these files without going through them one at a time, I would copy the cache folder on a desktop folder and then use Double Killer to delete the same size files in both the cache and the saved files in the desktop file folder. The files that are left behind in the cache folder are those that did not save to the desktop file and folder. I can then double check to see if I can find the videos, flash or images from the remaining files.
I have updated to Firefox 30.0.3. The problem now is that the files in the cache are different in KB size from the saved files on the desktop folder. The dimensions of a saved image are the same but the size of the file differ. Now I can not use Double Killer to delete files and have to go through the whole cache directory one by one to find files that were not saved.
Why did the Firefox developers changed the cache directory? Do I need to revert to a previous version of Firefox or is there a way that I can change the cache directory of Firefox 33.0.3 and the size that it stores files.
Would also like to know what add-on gives the best quality screenshot with flash.
Thanks for this support. Apart from this cache problem I find Firefox easy to use and the best web browser.

Current Firefox 32+ releases use a new cache service named Cache2 and this cache service works differently.
Files in the cache2 folder are special files that also store the meta data apart from the actual file data that you see on the about:cache page if you click an item.

Why PSD File So Large?

I brought a 3 MB JPG file into a Photoshop CS6 session, and I added a text layer to put in a signature/copyright mark. When I saw this to disk, it now occupies 49MB. Can someone let me know why it expanded so dramatically, and can I control this?

Got it. So my images are paintings that are being created by painting over a JPG photograph in a paint tool like Corel Paint. The color palette is rarely thousands - and never millions - of colors. What would be a good format for partial compression of the painting without totally losing important color information? My choices are:
JPG
PNG
BMP
TIF
TGA (Targa)
I understand that BMP might not lose information but the files would be huge and I do want at least some compression.

IWeb 3.0.4 problem under Lion X: Why are my movies unable to play after publishing web-site?

No problems with the above running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Under Lion, I can place movies during the edit phase, set up quicktime to autoplay, and test it and it plays. After publishing the site, the movies do not play. Sometimes a note saying that "a plugin is not available" appears in the movie window. Could this be a Quicktime problem? The movies were placed in iWeb using iTunes from the Media Display and are .m4v files edited in iMovie. The web-site works on iMacs running 10.6.8, and on PC's. Any ideas? Thanks!

Thanks QTKirk. Tried the web site under firefox 5.0 and the movies played! Not sure about the DivX extension for Safari. There is something called 3ivx on my machine that has something to do with Mpeg. Could you give me the steps to remove this from Safari, assuming that it is the extension you were talking about? How would I see what extensions are in Safari? I'm labeling your response with the correct answer to my problem because either way --- I can always use firefox if I can't get Safari straightened out. Many thanks!

Why are files residing on sharepoint not showing up in Recent Items or Jump Lists?

I recently had to upgrade to Windows 7 (SP1) on my work laptop. I am running IE8, Office 2007, and Sharepoint 2010. I would use the recent file lists ALL THE TIME to jump to the latest documents that i had been using. (for example, Start > Excel >
Recent > file.xlsx). After the upgrade, i pinned Excel, Word, etc to the taskbar and the start menu. I can see recent documents, However, the jump lists do not contain any files that reside on Sharepoint - only those that are saved to my harddrive or my
mapped network drive. Interestingly enough, when i log into Excel application, for instance, the recent file list contains recent sharepoint files, C: files, and mapped drive files! I have tried to pin/unpin, allow recent, disallow recent, restart. i cannot
figure out how to see sharepoint files in my jump lists/recent items from start menu or taskbar. PLEASE HELP!
... not sure if this is related, but my recent places in Favorites does not contain any places from sharepoint either. only harddrive and mapped drive... Thanks!

Hi,
The behavior might be caused by security reason. And it is only to Office 2007 suite. In Office 2010, the behavior has been changed.

Why are files not displaying in Files tab of DW Mac CS6?

Hi,
I am a long time user of DW CS6 on Windows and recently have migrated to DW CS6 on the Mac. In my site, I have dozens of .htm files instead of .html files. When I look in the Files tab of DW Mac, none of the .htm files appear there. In fact, when I re-save an .htm file as an .html file, that does not appear in the Files tab either! They all appear fine in the Mac's Finder and can be opened there, but I like the convenience of the Files tab feature. Why is it not showing individual .htm and .html files?
Thank you.
~ Michael

The last thing I would try is to rebuild the DW Cache file per the instructions here...
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/494811
If that doesn't do it, the only thing I can think of is a corrupt user account on your Mac.
That Reveal in Finder not matching the contents of a browsed to folder is something I've never seen before. From what I understand of the function, it's not a DW generated folder, but a function of your OS, just like browsing to it manually. If there is no duplicate, they should be identical. I'm wondering what happens if you open the Reveal In Finder version side by side with a browsed to version, then try dragging test files back and forth.
