Windows opening too large

Ok not sure how to explain the situation and not sure if their is a fix for this but here goes...I have some macs here at work that when you open certain folders the window is too big for the screen and half the window is cut off at the bottom of the screen. Now I know you can click the green + sign at the top left corner but is there some kind of setting that needs to be set so these windows open at a certain size all the time? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Jeremy
Your post has half the fix. Click the green button and then from the bottom right corner of the window resize to taste. If this does not work, trash the com.apple.finder.plist file, restart and follow procedure above.

In Address book print window opened too large for window. Unable to close

Using Address book, trying to print lables for a group, print window opened to large for window.... cannot cancel or close out.

In general, in any window presented which calls for user action, if a button is highlighted (usually in blue if the OS is in charge) then pressing Return or Enter will do the same as clicking that button.
Most of the time the highlighted button is the one which is most usable - the "Print" button in that dialog window, for example, or the "Save" button in a Save dialog window.
The keystroke Command-. (Command-periodkey) will usually invoke a "Cancel" button if such is present in a window.

View Player Window opens too large on Mac screen

I am using iTunes 6.0.4 and when I open up a podcast video in the "View Player" (lower left hand corner of iTunes) it opens up so large I cannot view it properly. How do I shrink the size of this "view" on my Mac.
When I open the same "View Player" in iTunes on my Dell PC, it opens up perfectly.
What do I need to change to view this "view window" properly.

The artwork and video pane shows videos 'fit to window size'.
Do they open in a separate window?
If so, the window is probably set to 'Double Size'.
Control-click, or if you have a 2 button mouse, right-click on the window and choose 'Normal Size' or 'Half Size'.
Hope this helps.

I updated to iTunes 11 on my Windows PC. Since the update, when I open iTunes its window is too large for my screen. Resizing is a pain, because I have to change my screen resolution. And when I restart iTunes,it has reverted back to being too large.Help!

I recently updated to iTunes 11 on my Windows PC. Since the update, each time I open iTunes its window is too large for my screen. Resizing it is a pain, because I have to change my screen resolution. And then when I restart iTunes, it has reverted back to being too large. Please help!

Having the same issue here....a quick fix is to just minimize the window, and immediately maximize it. It will now fit the screen. Trouble is, after you close it, you'll have to do it again when you re-start itunes. The good news is it takes all of about 2 seconds. Apple should fix this. Should.

Dual monitors: window size too large when opens in smaller monitor.

I use Windows 7 with two monitors. When I open Firefox directly from my desktop, it opens on the larger monitor, and the window size is just fine. But if I click a link from an email, Firefox opens in the second, smaller monitor, and the window is too large for that screen.
Please help me figure out how to either (a) make Firefox open with a smaller window; or (b) make Firefox open on the primary, larger monitor.

oh, forgot to say Mavericks 10.9.5 running on the mac pro..

The options window is too large when it opens- i can't see the bottom-most options!

when i select options in Tools, a window opens, correct?
this window is too large for my browser. i cannot see the bottom of the window!

'''Size..Optimize..Restore''', are the only choices. I started FF in safe mode and was able to make the changes I needed. Move " doesn't help at all.
Being able to make the changes in safe mode leads me to believe one the the plug ins from the FF site is creating the issue...It's just way to large to move it so the bottom can be seen....Thanks for your attempt and time. :)
Oh..another thing. At times the top tabs are visible, and at other times, the bottom is visible.

Elements 12 screen opens too large

Elements 12 screen opens too large to grab lower right hand corner to reduce! How do I fix this?

Are you on a Mac? Change the screen display resolution (you may need to do this several times) switching back to normal resolution between each change. Eventually the display problem should resolve itself and the PSE window fit within your normal screen display size.

ACROBAT XI Pro -EDIT TOOL SET - POP-UP WINDOW IS TOO LARGE

Good Day -
I've been experiencing very nagging problem since installing recent Acrobat Xi Pro uodate (on windows 7 system):
Specifically - I cannot edit/change the TOOL SET to include needed TOOLS (i.e., that were all previously in my Tool set) as the EDIT TOOL SET WINDOW (i.e., pop-up
window) is TOO LARGE and does not allow scrolling/ or moving down to SAVE any tool sets and or tool set changes. Very frustrating as all attempts (and recommendations from reviews/support) for decreasing the size of EDIT TOOL SET WINDOW (popup) in order to save (i.e. include ANY) tools have been unsuccessful. So for past week I've been unable to include/use any TOOLS for working in (i.e., editing/commenting etc) pdf's. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Would greatly appreciate any / all steps & recommendations for fixing.
Thank-you!

First, make sure you are on the latest update 11.0.09. Help->check for updates should get you there.
If check for updates says that you have the latest, see if the setting: Edit->Settings->General->Basic Tools->Scale for screen resolution and try various options (you'll have to restart Acrobat with each selection)

Since upgrading to 10.7.4 my 21.5 inch imac the window is too large for the display. How can I make it fit?

Some possibilities:
If you have a Magic Mouse do Control+stroke downwards on the mouse.
Check System Preferences>Displays is set to the correct resolution
Check System references>Accesability and make sure Zoom isn't turned on.

Both the Texts and Graphics When I open windows are too large and blurry. Is this anyway I could fix this?

When I open Firefox (Firefox is updated to its latest version) both the text and the graphics are too large. I've tried zooming in and out features, but the texts become unreadable.

CTRL+0 (<--that is a zero) will reset your zoom level on affected pages. Firefox remembers the zoom level you last used on a page.<br />
See Firefox built-in Zoom functions:
*http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Page+Zoom
*http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Text+Zoom
If that does not fix the problem, you can try renaming the file (''with Firefox closed; Firefox button > Exit or File > Exit'') '''''content-prefs.sqlite''''' to content-prefs.sqlite.old (or delete the file) in the Profile Folder to reset the page zoom on all sites. That file will be re-created when you restart Firefox.

*You can use the following to go to the Firefox profile folder:
**Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory, click Open Containing Folder

New Photoshop CS6, 27" iMac, Opens too Large

New iMac 27", new Photoshop CS6. Just opening. It opens much larger than my screen so can't get to bottom R to rescale Photoshop and save it.

Do you have all the updates for CS6? Retina display support came out with 13.0.3 according to this JK blog post.

If you already have that update, Google how to use Retina display support with Photoshop.

Quicktime Windows opens too big and off center

So, I found the above-titled question, but it is old and archived and did not appear to have a solution. I have to use Quicktime to view my iPhone movies; otherwise I'd just get rid of it.

What other display settings options are available on your machine (monitor)?
Have you tried settings that have a height larger than 1080?
Some QuickTime files can have a "window position value" stored with the file so they open at a desired location (say the middle of the screen). I doubt this is the case with a 1080 file, however.

Window opens to large to re-size

Sometimes a browser window that opens from Logic/Omnisphere is too big and I can't get to the bottom right corner for re-sizing. Clicking on the green button in the top left is ineffective. Is there a way round this?
This is in Logic 7.2.3/OSX 10.4.11 (PPC)

Nice one, Erik - thank you!
I couldn't change to a higher res as I was at the highest (only three choices on this system). But I changed to a lower res, resized the window, then changed the res back to the highest and now the window is opening at the size I reset it to.
But I'll have to see if it stays that way when I restart the computer.

Since upgrading to 21.0, if I have 2 windows open, too often the active window changes -- unasked. Why?

Hard to add details since I can't say exactly what action makes this happens. It seems like what happens is that I have clicked something in preparation to start typing -- in a forum post or a search bar or something -- and then find I'm not actually typing because the 2nd open window has suddenly become active. I'm hoping others have experienced this and will know what I'm talking about; up until now I've just gotten annoyed, switched windows, and plodded on. This did not happen before 21.0 was installed.

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
