Problem

One of the lads in support messaged me this week, he needed to raise the size of the hard drive on a VM, and the option was greyed out (not available). 

Solution

Now assuming you actually have the rights to do this, the problem is ‘nearly always‘ that the ‘disk’ in question has an active snapshot on it. Remove your snapshots first.

Now you can raise the size.

Don’t forget: In your OS you will then need to increase the volume size to accommodate the additional space!

Apple IOS 7 – Wallpaper Does Not ‘Size’ Correctly

Problem

I upgraded my iPhone 4S to IOS 7 last week. Since then the lock screen wallpaper has displayed as the wrong size.

Solution

This is caused by the IOS new feature called Parallax. If you didn’t already know, this moves the wallpaper slightly as you tilt your phone. You will notice the icons stay where they are, but the background wallpaper moves as you tilt the phone to give you a 3D effect.

To Disable Apple Parallax

1. Settings.

2. General.

3. Accessibility.

4. Reduce Motion.

5. Turn it on.

6. Now things display like they did before.
