OS X :: How To Enlarge Everything For Use With LCD TV
Dec 7, 2009
I am currently using my macbook pro with my lcd tv which is positioned a few metres away.
In firefox it is no problem as cmd + will enlarge everything. But when navigating around with the finder, the text is way to small. Is there a quick way to fix this without changing my system preferences permanently?
I have several thumbnails i NEED the information on asap, and they are too small to read. when i magnify them its all blurry. Is there anyway to enlarge the whole thing so i can read the writing on them.
I searched for one hour on google, but couldn't find the answer nowhere: how can I enlarge the preview in Spotlight?You see, I'm on a cinema display. The preview of a doc Spotlight gives me is only about 5% of my screen surface, which is way too small to be readable. I would be extremely thankful to the person giving the right answer on how to make the preview in spotlight bigger.
Info: MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4), 750 Gb, 8 Gb ram
I am a new mac user. I am trying to figure out how to enlarge the screen image so it fills the entire screen.I am aware that I can hold control and scroll with the mouse but that moves the toolbar out of view.I also have found a way(unintentionally) that it minimizes to the lower left side of the screen and when I enlarge it it stays on the left side of the screen.
I've read all the proposed answers for enlarging text in the body of emails and none work for me. I have tried dragging the small a-large A icon to the taskbar but clicking it does nothing. In fact, none of the icons are functional. I can enlarge the text so it's readable (18 pt. or so) but then the recipient gets an email with overly enormous text. I only want to VIEW the text larger, say, 50% larger, because IT'S SO SMALL IT'S A STRAIN TO VIEW IT.Â
When I open Word for Mac, the window opens very small and I cannot enlarge it with the bottom corner square. Changing the view does not help as that only affects the text inside the window. How do I get the window to enlarge so that I can work on the document?
I saw this during an screencast, looks like it has the ability to select a screen portion and make it bigger. It may be important to say that the video was from 2006, so maybe the icon changed?
am using a Rev A MBA, and I just noticed that after the 10.5.6 update, I have lost the functionality of the pinch gesture when trying to enlarge/reduce icons ? both on the desktop and finder. Still works in all other areas like photos or webpages.
I recently purchased a 27" iMac running 10.6.2 and have installed CS4 only to find that the application toolbars/palettes are really small at the default 2560 x 1440 display resolution.
If I decrease the display to 1920 x 1200, my application toolbars/palettes are legible and a comfortable size to use, but then the screen is not crisp and nice as the 2560 x 1440....and frankly not pleasant to create graphics in.
Is there any workarounds or solutions to this either through the Mac OS or individually through the Adobe Apps?
QuickTime Player (we have version 10.1) seems to play movies at a minimum movie size of 480 pixels wide. Smaller movies (say 80, 200, etc. pixels wide) get enlarged to 480 pixels wide when played, making them blurry. Movie Inspector confirms the original size of these movies (of various formats) and that the current player window size is 480 pixels wide. They can't be viewed any smaller (either by the window resize handle or from the View menu).We frequently make moves from slices through small sub-volumes of 3D reconstructions and it doesn't seem that this latest version of QuickTime Player can be used to view these small-sized movies any longer. Am I missing a preference or checkbox somewhere in QuickTime Player?
I recently installed Lion and now when using iPhoto (8.1.2Â 424) I cannot access "Edit" to enlarge a photo or crop it. Something else I need to do now that my operating system is Lion?
