Can Automator change my screen resolution?

I kinda ** with scripts, but I've used Automator for some easy tasks earlier.
I'm not sure if it's even possible to make this but hope somebody around here can help me =)
So i use my iPod Touch a lot to check on my computer using VNC (Screen sharing) and sometimes boot it up with iWol, but to make any use of it i need the screen resolution changed. Doing this takes some time when you do it from the iPod or an iPhone.
*So in my case i need an application i can just have on my desktop, start it and my screen will be resized to 640x480, and the best would be if i hit it again it goes back to my normal size 1920x1200 but not so important. I did not find anyway to do this in Automator, I've tried the record function but it never manages to get it 100% right. Anybody got some ideas how to do this?*
Thanks =)
P.S.
If there is some pro scriptwriters out there i got a request:
An application that is automatically started on log-on, runs in the background, notice when screen sharing is being used and will pompt and ask for a resolution change.

because it's built to order.  not order then replace the screen after if you're not happy with it.
As Templeton Peck says " too expensive "

  • I can't change the screen resolution no matter what i do

    Suddenly i found the screen resolution unsatisfactory so i tried to change it and there were two displays to choose between in display option. as the pictures shows the first display has only two resolution options and the second has many but no matter what i choose and click on apply/ok it doesn't change unless i click on 'Extend my Windows' and it doesn't really change it only changes the resolution option
    Edit : i don't know why the pictures didn't show up but here is the link to the 2 pictures :

  • How to change the screen resolution in the Mobile Emulator

    so far we tried the Mobile Emulator in the netbeans, it is alway 240*320, but many real device is WVGA(480*800)
    whether does that mean the JavaFX Mobile only support the 240*320?
    if not, how can I change the screen resolution of the mobile Emulator, thank you

    I'd like to know how to do this, too. I tried fiddling with the "ScreenGraphics.bean" in the JavaFX\javafx-sdk1.2\emulator\toolkit-lib\devices\QwertyFxPhone directory, but without success.
    If anyone knows, please just drop a quick line here!

  • Is there any way to change the screen resolution in Front Row?

    Hi all,
    I've got a Mac Mini plugged in to my TV, and I want to be able to change the screen resolution depending on the content I'm watching (as some content is in 4:3 aspect ratio, some is in 16:9, and I'd prefer to have the picture filling the screen completely). Unfortunately, the TV doesn't have a "stretch" mode for making an 4:3 picture fit a 16:9 aspect ratio. If I know what I want to watch in advance, I can set the resolution accordingly using system prefs on the mac, but if I'm just sitting back choosing what to watch with the Apple Remote, it's annoying to have to leave front row, walk over to the computer and change resolution once I've decided what to watch, open system prefs, change resolution, re-launch Front Row and find what I wanted to watch again.
    So I was wondering if anyone had figured a way to allow the screen resolution to be switched from within the FrontRow UI. I've seen that people have written python based plug-ins such as PyeTV and Understudy that allow different types of content to be added to FrontRow, but I've not found any utility plug-ins such as what I'm looking for on the net (nor could I find SDK documentation on this API in the stuff that comes with XCode).
    I guess the other approach might be quick keys: has anyone had any success hooking up quick keys macros alongside front row in response to apple remote events? (seems too few events to be able to choose from, but I've never tried it, so I won't assume!) Or how about is there a way to trigger an AppleScript from within Front Row? And, of course, I'm very open to any other ideas you might have!
    Thanks very much in advance for any ideas on this.

    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), set a good rez there.

  • How is this even possible? Opening DW changes desktop screen resolution

    All of a sudden, whenever I open DW (from taskbar or start
    menu) it manages to change my screen resolution from high to very
    low (like from 1280x800 to 600x800). No other app causes this. Once
    DW is open I can then change the screen res, but reinstalling
    hasn't solved the problem and I can't figure out how or why this is
    happening.
    Thanks.

    I've been posting here since DW2, and I have never seen your
    problem posted
    once. I can't imagine what might be causing this, but I'd
    take a hard look
    at your other apps running in the background.

  • I changed my screen resolution to 16:9 and my screeen went blank.

    Hi,
    I just tried to change my screen resolution and the screen went blank. How do I get my display back.  Please help!!!! Ive already tried unplugging everything and plugging averything back in.

  • Is there a way to make the icon/words larger on the screen without changing the screen resolution?

    Is there a way to make the icons/words larger on the screen without changing the screen resolution?

    If you right-click in the top of title bar of any  Finder window there is an option to un-check 'use small icon size', though toggling between the two makes little difference on my screen.
    Another trick is you can zoom the whole screen by holding down the 'control' key and using a two-finger swipe up on the trackpad to enlarge, down to go back to normal.

  • I updated to iTunes 11 on my Windows PC. Since the update, when I open iTunes its window is too large for my screen. Resizing is a pain, because I have to change my screen resolution. And when I restart iTunes,it has reverted back to being too large.Help!

    I recently updated to iTunes 11 on my Windows PC. Since the update, each time I open iTunes its window is too large for my screen. Resizing it is a pain, because I have to change my screen resolution. And then when I restart iTunes, it has reverted back to being too large. Please help!

    Having the same issue here....a quick fix is to just minimize the window, and immediately maximize it.  It will now fit the screen.  Trouble is, after you close it, you'll have to do it again when you re-start itunes.  The good news is it takes all of about 2 seconds.  Apple should fix this.  Should.

  • Can I change the default resolution to minimize buffering?

    Can I change the default resolution to minimize buffering?

    This is a function of the server and content, not the player itself.  You'll have to do this through the different video players (YouTube, Vimeo, Hulu, etc.)

  • Can I change the Screen colour and font size?

    Can I change the screen colour and font size?

    Yes. Use an iPhone browser, such as iExplorer, to access your iPhone's file system. The screensaver photos are stored here;
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AppleTV.framework/DefaultAnimalPhotos
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AppleTV.framework/DefaultFlowerPhotos
    Once you locate these files, you can replace the photos with your own or add more to the folders. Do not change the name of the the folder.

  • Changed the screen resolution, wont return to original

    Hi, i was changing my screen resolution and i made a mistake and choose a resolution that my screen doesnt support, i waited the 15 seconds to return to the normal and nothing happened. I cant seem to set it back to the original.
    Appreciate the help!

    Turn off your Mac holding the Power button. Then, turn it on and press Command, Alt, P and R keys while your Mac mini is starting, so you will do a PRAM reset. This will reset the screen resolution, so the display should be working

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Take your MacBook Air to an Apple Store or reseller to have your display replaced. If you want, you can buy the display yourself and install it, but as you can see, that's expensive > http://www.ifixit.com/MacBook-Parts/MacBook-Air-13-Inch-Mid-2012-Display-Assembl y/IF188-083?utm_source=ifixit_guide&utm_medium=guide_intro&utm_content=required_ items&utm_term=macbook_air_13%22_mid_2012

    How can I change video screen from landscape to portrait.  It is set to landscape since I updated to IOS 6.  TY

    Is the screen-rotation lock on? If it is then there is a padlock shown in the upper right by the battery icon. To turn off double click the Home button and fully swipe the bottom row fully right past the music controls and tap the padlock.
    Otherwise
    Try:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
