OS X V10.7 Lion :: Why Doesn't Webpage Fill The Screen
Apr 30, 2012
I just bought the latest MacBook Pro with Lion 10.7.3 in Australia last month. I use firefox but am having trouble reading as the total screen isn't being utilised I use [URL] as a home page but it does not fill the screen and it hard to read. I was just in the Apple store and an employee there said she was having the same issue..
The Control 2 finger gesture makes it bigger but doesn't get rid of what look like large margins. I have tried the pinch gesture but maybe I am not using the correct technique as nothing happens...Â
I tried adding a screen shot by dragging a dropping but that didn't work Finally, I don't know which forum is best: Lion or MacBook Pro...Â
Keychain doesn't always fill in Safari logins, despite still having them stored there. Lately, it's favorite non-filler is Facebook. Full login right there in the chain, but does nothing. Not much more in details than that. Running the latest Lion & Safari - any thoughts on why it doesn't do what it should be?
I just noticed that when I start to type a URL in the URL field in Safari 5, it behaves differently than before. For example, before, if I typed "app" in the URL field and hit enter, it would automatically fill in "[URL:..] and load the site. That's because Apple's site was the only site in my bookmark list that started with "app". Now when I type "app", it fills in [URL:..] instead, because that site's DESCRIPTIVE TEXT begins "Apple, Macintosh...". So now, it assumes the letters I type in the URL bar are to help me find a site based on the "descriptive" text, instead of the actual URL text. I really hate this new behavior. I looked for an option or preference to change, but found nothing. Any of you know how to revert this behavior, or if it is even possible to do so?
Due to a HUGE misundesrtanding, my dad erased my external HD!! But not only that... he cleaned it and made a zero fill!!! Is there any way I can recover my information? Is there maybe any way I can undo the zero fill?
I just bought a Mac and I'm loving it but I can't seem to make iTune fill up the screen. I've done the zoom thing and it just takes me between the mini-player and a screen that fills up about 1/2 my screen.
I just bought my new mac mini 2.53 C2D. And I love it! I have eye tv 3 hooked up and it runs flawless. I tested it all out with my imac to make sure that my wife could use it and would ok the purchase.
The only thing I am kinda sad about is the fact that the display does not fill the screen without overscan on. But if I have overscan on the top bar does not show.
I new about this with my imac but was reassured it was because my imac was 16X10 and that the mac mini would not have that problem. I have a samsung DLP that only does 720p which I am fine with.
Any Ideas to fill the screen? Also 1080i is an option but the screen looks shakey?
I downloaded something last year that lets me maximise the window I'm looking at, but can't remember what it was or where it came from. Does anyone know? Reason is that my OH's login doesn't let her maximise like this - you have to drag the corner of the window to the biggest size.
On this laptop that I just recently got in a trade it had an hd screen installed on it but for some reason the guy didn't fix the resolution on it to fit the whole screen and I can't quite figure out how on a mac to change the screen resolution to anything higher then what it's about to get to which is only like 1024-768(stretched). Please help me fix this as I assume it's just a program something I need to manipulate the resolution dimensions. I just lack the information in the field of macs, so that's why I'm asking an expert.
I have a 23 inch Samsung LED that I am using with a new 15 inch i7 MBP. Everything was working wonderfully until today when I had to power my MBP off due to a program lockup. Now the picture on the MPB that used to fill the Samsung screen no longer does. It leaves about 1 1/2 inches of black on either side of the Samsung that is just dead space. Some of my programs now hang over into those areas and you cannot see them fully.Why would it have changed like this just due to a power off and how do I get it back to displaying the full screen on the Samsung? I have toyed with this for over an hour now and am getting nowhere.
I just bought a Powerbook G4 off of Clist. The previous owner replaced the screen with a higher resolution screen from a newer Powerbook. The display looks great, except that it doesn't fill the whole screen. There is a long group of colored lines on the right side, and the bottom starts to show the top of the display (it looks almost tiled and shows the screen again on the bottom). I'm guessing that this is just a formatting issue, but I'm not sure how to correct it.
The green button on top of my safari browser doesnt always do the same operation. Sometimes the window maximizes to fill the screen and sometimes it just doubles in size. How do I maximize the window to fill the screen everytime?
I have a MacBook 5,1 (late 2008) running Mac OS X 10.6.3 which I would like to connect to our Sony Bravia KDL-37S5500 to watch films. The Sony Bravia has a 1080p resolution (1920x1080) and my MacBook can output up to 1920x1200 (which it has been doing fine on my Dell monitor).
I am connecting it using the Apple mini-display-port to DVI converter, then a DVI cable and finally a DVI to HDMI converter which plugs straight into the TV.
It looks great except that it doesn't fill the screen entirely. It seems the resolution is correct (text looks normal, not stretched in any way), but when Overscan is turned on the image is slightly too big horizontal-wise. When Overscan is turned off I get black borders around the image (horizontal as well as vertical). We've tried different settings both on the TV and on the MacBook, but we can't get the right view.
My home page on MacBook Pro is NY Times. The home page does not fill the space. There are white space margins of approximately 1 inch on both sides of the page. Shouldn't the home page fill the entire space with no white empty margins? How to correct?
While online at a web site, filling in important forms, the screen suddenly fades to one side and disappears, and I cannot get it back, forcing me to start all over again. How can I stop this from happening?
i am using my monitor from old Leopard computer. It works fine on the Mac mini running Lion. When not in use, instead of using the screen settings it shuts down. I have to click the mouse and sign in.

i was using my macbook pro for more than a year now with no huge problem, but when i was going on the web yesterday, just the usual site that i go everyday, the whole screen just went blank for some reason. it wont responds to any keyboard command, it won't sleep even when the screen is closed, it seems like the whole come computer just froze.... never had that happened before and end up have to force shutdown the computer.
the force shutdown has now made my start up extremely slow... and the blank screen just occur again this morning....
i have no idea what caused the blank screen to happened. both times i was just regularly surfing on websites using safari, and while is loading the webpage, the screens goes blank.
I am using 27" imac i dont know how to make window tab full screen. I clicked on top left corner to do full screen and window was full screen but page is on centre of the screen and the sidebars were empty.
I'm struggling to get Autofill and Keychain Access configured to operate in a rational way. Perhaps I don't understand something, but judging from all the discussion in various places, there seems to be quite a bit of confusion on the subject. What I want to do seems pretty logical and straightforward (at least to me) : Â
When I visit a secure site (say for online banking), I would like to have Safari use Autofill to get the password for his site from my keychain (where it is kept securely encrypted when not in use), and fill in the username and password fields for me. What I do not want is for Safari and Keychain Access to retain that userid and password info indefinitely. For example, I logged in to pay a bill at the airport lounge, and then someone swipes my MacBook, logs in, and transfers all my funds to their bank. Â
It seems that this was what was happening when I first set up Autofill... each time I went to the secure login page, Safari/Autofill/Keychain Access automatically filled in the userid and pw with no prompts, or request for authentication. This behavior might be OK for a website such as the New York Times, but it's not OK for my online banking account! Â
After some reading, much of which was conflicting due to various OS and Safari versions involved, and some trial and error and testing, I came up with the following settings: Â
1. In Safari, I set up Autofill to automatically supply userid's and pw's: At this point, there are no websites listed in the "Edit..." window.Â
2. Next, I entered the required info (userid, pw, URL) in Keychain Access, and set its Access Control as follows: Â This, I hoped would require that *each* use of the userid and pw be authenticated. Â
3. Now for the test: I go to the website, and get a request for authentication: So far, this is what I had hoped for, but immediately after I supply the keychain password, I am prompted for it again as follows (I've blanked the actual name of the website): Â
I want this to be secure, but entering the same keychain password twice is just annoying. I've tried various combinations and tweaks to configure this to work rationally (i.e. one and only one keychain password entry), but have not been successful. It seems that it will work with *no* authentication required, or with *double* authentication required. Â
Got an Apple Desktop 27" in January with osx Lion. Up until today, at start-up, the desktop filled the display window. At startup today Desktop did not fill window. How to resize desktop. Tried every menu in every window to no avail.
I'm tired of typing the first or second letter in the "to" address line and it comes up with an address I don't want anymore. It's not in my address/contact book. So where is that hidden file?
I often need to make a screenshot of a long HTML page, for ex I get a HTML gmail and want to copy that into WOrd
How would you do this ? I tried with Grab and with Preview builit in ScreenShot but I cant take more than the screen. The Selection does not go beyond the screen
IN PREVIOUS VERSIONS A WEB PAGE COULD BE PUT DIRECTLY ON TO A MAIL PAGE BY CLICKING COMMAND WITH THE "I" KEY . NOW IT CAN'T BE DONE WITH LION. ANY SUGGESTIONS AS TO HOW TO DO THIS WITHOUT PUTTING THE LINK IN THE MAIL?
I'm running a server, where I share my calendar. This works fine so far, unfortunately only on apple devices, Android is not working, but I'm working on that.Now I was wondering if there is a way, to share my cal also as webpage. So users can see and edit the calendar. Is there a way to do so?
I noticed the apple web page icon to be missing from the dock. You can still use the mouse and click on it with positive results. However, it is disconcerting to have the icon go missing with an OS update.
