Q: iPad Mini

How do I get my iPad Mini to allow the pictures I try to set as wallpaper full size.  When I try to pinch them they keep going back to the large size.

iPad mini Wi-Fi, iOS 7.1

    If you currently have Settings > General > Accessbility > Reduce Motion set 'off' then do you have larger resolution versions of the images ? From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5595 :

     

    When the parallax effect is on, you may notice the following:

    • Wallpaper, icons, and alerts shift slightly as you move your phone.
    • When you set a wallpaper in Settings > Wallpapers & Brightness, the photo or image will be slightly zoomed and can't be scaled to fit the screen.

     

    If you zoom in, you will need to rescale your wallpaper to fit to the screen. You can't rescale certain photo formats, including landscape or square images.

     

    e.g. if syncing the photos from a PC then you could use Irfanview which is free : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5335229
