IOS 7 wallpaper resizing will not shrink photo to fit screen...

Apple fix this problem! Resize does nothing and the picture is auto-blown up to ridiculous per portions. The same pic was fine on all previous versions of iOS.

Well Quite Honestly If Microsoft or Any Other Application Can Allow You To Add A Border Make It Gigantic and Pur The Photo Back Into Your iPad and When Setting Wallpaper Zoom In Until It Fits, May Take Many Hours Due to Trial and Error.

Knicks.....this is a problem for both iPhone and iPad. I can't believe that Apple is ignoring this bug fix. But if I've said it once to everyone posting on this thread, I've said it a thousand times, take your complaint directly to the source:

http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

That's the iphone feedback link. iPad users, just replace iphone with ipad.

REPORT THIS PROBLEM.

APPLE: FIX THIS PROBLEM!!!!

I actually upgraded my iPad iOS AT THE ADVICE OF AN APPLE SUPPORT STAFF MEMBER who assured me that the calendar issue (discussed in another thread) was resolved - suffice to say he had not bothered to actually check his advice that he gave and as a result my iPad is running an iOS I never wanted and has introduced a whole bunch of annoyances.

...most concerning of all has been the statements from various support staff I have come into contact with that these discussion forums are never read by Apple... Where else could a business tap into a huge, free resource that provides them with volumes of customer feedback on every aspect of every device they sell? A resource that actually tells them what their customers want and provides a massive bug-reporting database! In my experience the information contained in these particular discussion groups would be worth a fortune to any business that took an interest in their customers. Apple, as all their support staff constantly remind us, do NOT pay attention to what is written here... speaks volumes.

You are absolutely correct.

I have sent Apple feedback on this issue using the link that AppleLono provided. I copied the link to this thread and pasted it into the email that I sent to Apple.

This solution is super easy and fast and works great for me! Find the picture that you want to make as your wallpaper. Save the picture to your camera roll. Then find the picture there and tap the screen to get rid of the solid white lines on the top and bottom. Screen shot the picture. Then find the screen shot of the picture and make that your wallpaper. Worked great for me!

Bonnie....God bless you, but you are pretty far behind the curve. This suggestion has been offered up dozens of times in the 43 pages of responses so far. What I might suggest to everyone is that these workarounds are not worthy of fixing the problem. What IS worthy is a constant stream of suggestions to Apple to FIX the problem. This wasn't an issue before the IOS upgrade. It IS an issue now for millions of people. Workarounds and apps aren't the solution . The solution should be Apple listening to its customers (that's us, people!) and FIXING THE PROBLEM.

And by popular demand, one more time: I have heard from a number of equally-ticked off iphone or ipad users that they enjoyed my tongue-in-cheek suggestion about how to handle this issue. So I offer it up again.

For everyone with an iPad, I have another solution. Take your pictures upsdide down. Then rotate them 10-degrees opposite from the gravitational pull of the earth. Take a screenshot. Then invert the image in iPhoto, submit it to Instagram but route it through Facebook. Take whichever photo comes through smaller and resize that into approximately what you think is a third the size of the screen. Take another screenshot and repeat the process. After an hour or so, you should have a photo you like. Or, maybe not.

For everyone with an iPhone, reverse the process. Except the repeat part.""

All I did was open the photo and take a screen shot. use the screen shot for your wallpaper. Fits quite nicely

Nobody has heard directly from Apple about this issue. Apple Store employees are clueless, pretend not to know this issue exists, and directly deny it when shown this exact thread on an apple device while in an apple store. "Genius Bar." ??? How about "Ignore Bar"?

That's considered a "workaround." In other words, you have found a way that might work...sometimes...maybe...to fix a problem that didn't exist before Apple's "upgrade." Weak.

When I referred to a workaround, I should have specifically answered GRPRICE. My earlier post just a few minutes ago in this thread was to Bonnie. The amazing thing here, and what blows me away, is that so many people like us are ticket off at Apple and continually post to this thread, and others like it. The response from Apple so far? NOTHING. 0 RESPONSE = APATHY. I'm disgusted with Apple.

AND finally, just one more time, look to the right of this thread under "more like this." We're not the only ones complaining!

Incredible. This is so disappointing for me. My once beautiful, elegant iPhone now looks like crapola. I have not "updated" my iPad, nor will I. I have NOT updated my MacBook Pro to the operating system either because I have read these forums about the problems with it as well. Apple! Come back to us? Where have you gone??
