Why does my cinema display interpret "actual size" as 75% size?

I just switched from a 19" CRT to a 20" Apple cinema display and in all of my design programs (Quark, Illustrator, Photoshop, etc) the "actual size" view is about 25% SMALLER than actual print size. Even web pages are reduced. Is there any way to rectify this? Even fonts and folders are painfully small. Reducing the screen resolution only makes everything big and blurry.
I didn't think that a larger monitor would actually shrink everything!
Please help!
Thanks!

It has to do with the different resolutions both monitors have.

Why does my iMac display go off when I am starting up or waking up my machine from sleep..

Why does my iMac display go off when I am starting up or waking up my machine from sleep..?
When my iMac goes to sleep I then later try to click the magic track pad or keyboard and it will usually then show the initial password entry login screen and then go off. The machine is still on but the display is black and will sometimes flash up the screen again if I press the magic track pad or keyboard but will then black out again..

Well, there are many different reasons why it does this. It might shut off due to power voltage problems, system overheats, or there is a System Problem. The reason it might be hard to boot up is because your power button might not work properly or your system hard drive is damaged.

Why does my computer display a spring coloured wheel that stops me from doing anything

Why does my computer display a spinning coloured wheel that stops me from doing anything, the only way to get rid is to switch off and reload...

These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the BOOT_TIME log message that corresponds to the last boot time when you had the problem. Now clear the search box to reveal all messages. Select the ones logged before the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
For example, if the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down for three minutes before you forced a restart, post the messages timestamped within three minutes before the boot time, not after. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract—not at the beginning.
If there are long runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". A shutdown stall report has a name that ends in ".shutdownstall". Select the most recent of each, if any. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. It's possible that none of these reports exists.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash or panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Why does my iMac display keep shutting off? Computer still running in the background. I've tried unplugging and restarting, to no avail. The computer is well out of warranty - about 7-8 years old, running 10.6.8

Checked.... the settings had not been inadvertently changed, but I did move the scroll and reset them back to the original. Hasn't shut off again.... yet. Will re-post with follow-up one way or the other. Thanks.

Filedown has a nasty reputation in English-speaking countries - plenty of antivirus/antimalware apps block everything there by default, which is what Peter has done. It doesn't mean that your link is malicious, only that it's hosted somewhere that has been used to host malware in the past.
I'm pretty sure, Peter, that there aren't any nonbreaking spaces there, because I'd wager that there aren't any spaces there at all. It's justified text, and the reasons why it will or will not break are sometimes obscure when using composers that aren't the J composer. Chinese text is usually entirely free of spaces, except in certain circumstances, usually involving European language inserted into Chinese text. Sometimes, for reasons I don't understand, InDesign will simply treat Chinese as if it were English, and only break at spots permissible in Euro languages. That's not the case here - it obviously breaks between two Chinese glyphs, so something else is up here.
Which version of InDesign are you using? Are you keying the text directly into InDesign, or are you placing, or copying/pasting?
If you're using an English version of InDesign, I would suggest trying to save your Chinese text as raw text or RTF and File -> Place that. If you choose RTF, try to mark it with Chinese language in your RTF editor (Word?) if possible.
Is No Break applied anywhere in your text? You can check in the Story editor (Control/Command Y) to see what styles and formatting are applied.

Why does lightroom not display photos ?

Hello,
all of a sudden lightroom tells me "no photo selected " when I try to open a folder.All the folders are visible but the photos cannot be displayed.I am using lightroom 4.1
The last editing was done less then 12 hours ago without any problems.
Your help would be much appreciated.
Thank you very much,
1journey

Thank you so much for your reply.I solved the problem after fretting over it for some time. A filter was not turned off and once I turned it off all was well. Live and learn.
Thank you kindly ,

Does the cinema display work with windows

Hi last year i got a new acer laptop and found the screen was much to small for all the windows i work with so i connected it to an external screen that i had just a week ago it stopped working and i was wondering if the cinema display would work with my laptop

Here's some interesting links that might help:

LED Cinema 27" with Windows 7 (Apple discussions thread)

When taking a picture on an Iphone 5, why does the picture go back to the iphone 4 size?

I was just wondering if the photo on an iPhone 5 was supposed to save as a smaller size like the size from and iPhone 4 or is there a way to change that?

Do you mean number of pixels or that the photo is not widescreen like the screen?
If the later then if the lense and optics are that ratio forcing it into widescreen would mean cutting away from the top and bottom of the image

Why does Preview not display some PDF content which is visible in Adobe Acrobat?

I have occasionally received PDFs from multiple different sources for which some content (words, checkmarks, etc) simply does not appear in Preview. The full content does appear when view with Adobe Reader. Unfortunately, when viewing in Preview, there is no indication that anything is missing.
What is going on here? Is there some solution? I prefer Preview because it is fast ans versitile, but if it doesn't actually display the whole thing...

The answer is that some pdf options are not available in Preview. Adobe has a number of annotation and graphics and even file linking options which do not carry through to Preview. In other words, Preview is not 100% compatible with Adobe Acrobat, Preview is less capable, although it can generally handle probably 99% of what people do in pdf format. But there is a small collection of things that do not come through properly with Preview.
One obvious example is forms. While this may not be the situation you are asking about, note that Adobe Acrobat can create forms that one can fill out with Acrobat Reader. These forms have cells and one can go through them and enter text or information into those cells with Adobe's software. Sometimes the forms even include boxes to be checked or highlighted and so forth, all possible with a click using Adobe's own software. However Preview often is unable to enter the data on those forms. Again, the reason is that for certain somewhat advanced options, Preview does not have every capability that Adobe Acrobat (or Acrobat reader) has.
For simple stuff, however, Preview generally works well.

Why does my external display go to sleep when opening an X11 window?

I'm on a 27in late 2012 iMac with Yosemite. I recently added an external monitor connected through one of the Thunderbolt ports (with a VGA adapter). I use X11 frequently - when I open an X11 program in the external monitor or drag an X11 window into that space, much of the time the display goes to sleep immediately, until I either drag the window back out or exit X11. Does anybody know why this is happening? Sometimes I can open X11 applications right through terminal in the new display, but even then they frequently look unstable, flashing and blinking.
Thank you!
