How do I download more display resolutions (scaled)?

Hi,
I am displaying my iMac through a VGA adapter to a projector.
Under system preferences, displays, resolutions (scaled) - I have only:
- 1920 x 1080
-  1600 x 900
-  1280 x 720
However would like (and have seen on my macbook) far more options.  How do I get more options?
Thanks,
David.

    Can someone tell me why I bought more storage but I can't download more apps, please.  The storage is in iCloud.  How can I get the storage available to download?

    If you're having storage problems, it's probably on your device, not in icloud, since downloading apps involves your device's storage and has nothing to do with icloud.
    Go to Settings>General>Usage to see how much "Storage" you have available on your device.  Farther down the list is the available storage on iCloud.

  • Macbook Pro, how to reset invalid external display resolution?

    Hi there. I have a question about the external display configuration.
    I recently connected my 2011 Macbook Pro 13" (10.8.2 Mountain Lion) to an external HD-TV using Thunderbolt to VGA adapter. After connecting the TV had 1920x1200 resolution which made the text and everything look very tiny. So I thought I'd lower the resolution a bit. But then I messed up and accidentally changed the resolution and refresh rate for the external display to one that wasn't supported. So the TV went black and gave an error about an invalid resolution. At the same time, on my Macbook screen I had only the background image and display settings dialog. No mouse cursor, no menu bar, no dock etc. So I couldn't do anything.
    I disconnected the Thunderbolt adapter and got my Macbook screen back to normal, but when I plugged it in again, the same thing happened. Invalid resolution on TV, just background image and display settings on Macbook screen.
    Now, this was just before I was going to give a presentation and it resulted in a very awkward situation with me franticly re-plugging the Thunderbolt adapter and looking just completely clueless In the end I had to borrow my colleague's laptop.
    So my question is: when this happens, is there a way I can reset / clear the external display settings back to defaults? They are obviously saved somewhere since replugging the Thunderbolt adapter didn't give me back my original resolution.

    A PRAM reset should solve that:
    From the article linked above:
    Your Mac stores certain settings in a special memory area even if it is turned off.  On Intel-based Macs, this is stored in memory known as NVRAM; on PowerPC-based Macs, this is stored in memory known as PRAM.
    Information stored in NVRAM / PRAM includes:
    Speaker volume
    Screen resolution
    Startup disk selection
    Recent kernel panic information, if any
    To reset your PRAM:
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • Download error:disk was full. How do I download more shows?

    I received a download error: disk was full. What do I need to do to download shows?

    I had the same problem. The Apple TV (first generation) was set to streaming, so it being "full" didn't entirely make sense. What's more, it meant that the options to remove content were not available. I finally solved the problem by resetting the Apple TV to its factory settings and starting over. It won't even allow me to choose "Streaming" for setting it up now. So I have it set up as a "Synching" Apple TV.

  • How can I download more than 20mb with my prepaid micro sim in my iPad 2?

    I recently brought an iPad2 64gb wifi+3G and purchased a micro sim card with 3gb of free download.I still have nearly 3gb left on the sim but It won't let me update any apps over 20mb. Says I have to use wifi for over 20mb downloads. How can I fix this. Does anybody know. Cheers

    There is no way for you to "fix" it, that is the limit. You can ask Apple to increase or eliminate it but most likely cell providers asked for it to be included.

  • How do I download the full resolution JPEG images from my iPhone to my flash drive through my mac?

    When I plug my iPhone 5S into my MacBook Pro through a USB 2.0 to Lightning cable, the phone doesn't show up as a device in finder (#imisssnowleopard). How can I grab the images off the phone and put the files on my flash drive? (without using the iPhoto library compression or the iTunes photo compressing) (iPhone 5S with latest iOS)(15" MacBook Pro June 2009, most recent OS X)

    Use Image Capture to import the pictures wherever you want to have them.

  • How To Increase Display Resolution on RD650

    How do I increase the display resolution of the console via the Java viewer or ThinkServer System Manager software?  It's currently limited to a max res of 1024x768. This is a Hyper-V server and I need a better resolution on the host for managing VM's.

    If you are mirroring the displays they will have the same resolution, if you are extending the displays you can have different resolutions for each display.

    Every time Firefox opened

    You have some extensions that related to downloading listed in the Troubleshooting information.
    It is probably one of them that is causing that problem.

    Are all the files downloaded from the same server?

  • Display resolution for 2014 MBP?

    How do you adjust the display resolution to the "native" 2880 x 1800 on a mid 2014, 15 inch rMBP with NVIDIA Graphics?
    I can not obtain a resolution above 1920 x1200.

    Hello there, pf2555.
    When adjusting resolution for your MacBook Pro Retina, the following Knowledge Base article offers some information on that regard:
    Frequently asked questions about using a Retina display - Apple Support
    How do I adjust the resolution of my Retina display?
    MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2012 and later) displays have a 2560-by-1600 native resolution at 227 pixels per inch with support for millions of colors.
    MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012) and MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013 and later) displays have a 2880-by-1800 native resolution at 220 pixels per inch with support for millions of colors.
    iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014) displays have a 5120-by-2880 native resolution with support for millions of colors.
    If you need to adjust the display resolution, choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu. The Retina display offers scaled resolutions that allow you to have text and objects appear larger on screen, or to make them appear smaller which provides more space on screen.  Note: Scaled resolutions do not offer the same visual quality as the Retina setting. Scaled resolutions may also impact graphics performance depending on which applications you are using.
    MacBook Pro with Retina display (13-inch) scaled resolution choices
    MacBook Pro with Retina display (15-inch) scaled resolution choices
    iMac (Retina 5k, 27-inch, Late 2014) scaled resolution choices
    Retina displays only use scaled resolutions rather than specific resolution settings like external displays. If you need to use a different resolution than those available on the built-in display, consider attaching an external display via HDMI or Thunderbolt.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • Retina Display Resolution Settings & Limitations

    Are there only five settings that will work for the Retina display?   Display > Resolution > Scaled options only include five clickable icons from "Larger Text" to "More Space"
    Also, is there a way to change the choices from five cute pictures of text snippets to a list of actual pixel dimensions (e.g. 1920x1080, etc.)?
    MBPro mid 2012, OSX 10.8.5.

    Check out Eye-Friendly Display Resolution Switcher in the App Store. It'll give you actual pixel dimensions as well as more resolutions to choose from, including native (if your eyes are sharp enough).

  • Download More Sounds Option Doesn't Exist

    I'm currently on OS X Yosemite with Garageband 10.0.3. I downloaded the Garageband app for free and saw I can download more instruments with an in-app purchase however the option to do this does not exist. In the Garageband menu it lists About Garageband, Preferences and then Restore Sound Library completely skipping over the download more sounds option.
    Can someone explain to me why this option isn't there and how I can download more sounds/instruments?

    Restore Purchase is shown, if you previously bought the in-app purchase or owned GarageBand '11, that had more sounds than the basic GarageBand 10.0. Then this option will download the additional sounds without additional purchase.
    Just try "Restore Sound Library" and be prepared for a gigantic 10GB download. You can quit GarageBAnd anytime, and the download will resume.
