Mac OS 9 Graphics mode

Hello. I just purchased a game for my kids. It's an application designed for Mac OS 9. It runs just fine for me on Tiger 10.4.3, but the graphics resolution (magnification?) in full screen mode is such that the game's display area is very small (about 25% of my iMac's available screen area). Is there a way to coinfigure the Mac OS 9 environment to magnify the game's presentation area and use more of the screen?
Thanks.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

That may be possible with Automator or Applescript. However, since I don't know how to program in those, I suggest posting in those forums for an answer:

In addition, instead of having to go to Apple menu -> System preferences -> Displays each time, in the Displays panel is a checkbox to add Displays to the menubar. Granted this will only be visible once you click on the Mac OS X desktop somewhere, but that's better than having to navigate to System Preferences each time.

OS X starting in graphic mode only - no single user, no recovery

My intel-mac (2008, Yosemite 10.10.2) is suddenly only starting in graphic mode. No keyboard-commands during start-up are working - neither "r" for recovery-mode nor "alt" for chosing the startup-disk nor "s" for single-user-mode.
What may be wrong here? How can I fix it?
Thanks a lot!
Rainer

In addition, I found out that in 3 of 4 boot-processes the booting comes to a halt with a white screen. Nothing happens, I can wait for a long time.
Now, I re-installed OS X Yosemite and the trouble seems to be gone.
What could have happened to cause this?
I'm not very frequently installing new software or removing software...

My mac reboots to recovery mode...help

I have a mid 2007 imac....upgraded RAM and installed Mavericks... Everything fine here. The other day I was working on some graphics and it completely froze...nothing responded so had to perform a hard reboot. After this, started having boot problems. Got the file and questionmark logo....made safe reboot....seemed to work. Reboot number 2....still doesnt work so i decided to reboot a gain into recovery mode....performed a disk repair from disk utility and said it couldnt repair. So i wiped the HD and tried to reinstall mavericks.....stuck at 0 (zero) seconds. waited for half an hour and had to hard reboot. Now my mac automatically starts into recovery mode and does not recognize my HD when i try to selct it as boot disk.....im desperate....someone please help. Oh and a mac store ain't an option because the closest one is +3 hours away (i live in a small town)

First boot your Mac into Single User mode by holding down the Command + S till then you hear the start up chime. After that you will see a bunch of white text starts appearing. Now when the Single User boot sequence got finished, you will see the command prompt at the bottom of the screen by a hash sign(#).Just tpye the following command there : fsck -fy
After that 'File system was modified' message will appear, then again run the above command until you see another message prompting that 'the volume appears to be ok'. Then type reboot to leave Single User mode.
Secondly, the startup disk system preference is the usual method to set this. As the setting is written to NVRAM, you could also just reset that and the mac should prefer the OS over the Recovery HD. If you can't select the Mac OS X, re-run the OS X installer.

Switching graphics mode (9600m gt) - OSX hangs at subsequent login screen

Haven't been able to find anything on this. When I switch the graphics mode through the Energy Saver Preferences (whether from battery life to performance or vice versa), it takes me back to the login screen as it should, but the computer hangs there, sometimes for upwards of five minutes.
The cursor in the password field blinks but it takes no input. Plugging in an external keyboard makes no difference. The mouse pointer can be moved but clicking has no effect. After a few minutes, any inputs you've attempted to make rush back in at once and it works as usual.
I'm not sure when this started, but it's been happening since at least 10.6.5.

Hi there,
I am new to Mac and got my MBP i7 2.0GHz, 8GB, SSD, OSX Lion 10.7.2 last month. Have you guys got any solution for the slow rendering of Youtube video? On my new MBP it can only run at resolution: 240p.
The same video on Youtube at HD resolution runs perfectly on my old HP Core Duo laptop. Slightly dissapointed with Mac here. Tried to look around for solution via Google but no luck.
It seems like no one from Apple support provides any solution for this problem. Are there any support at all from Apple???

Do mac's handle graphic's differently?

Ever since I got my macbook a year ago I have been dying to discard my pc's but I have one very large concern. I am a WoW gamer and although it seems to run well on imac's I am concerned that the 512mb graphics card will not be sufficient for the new WoW expansion. Spending 2k on a pc would give me the option of SLI and dual graphic's cards, ( plenty of graphic memory to run the game at max settings and quite a few mod's without a hiccup ), but Mac offers none of this, so I started thinking, maybe the cards are not as good, because Mac's handle graphic's differently than pc's, they don't need all the power? And everyone I have asked, from genius to lover, cannot answer this question for me. Now, let me say that running a G5 and upgrading to a two thousand dollar video card is not an option for me, so, can someone please tell me I can still have my imac, and my WoW too?

yeh, i said in my post i would like to do away with my pc's, meaning i have not as of yet. I am currently looking at the imac. And according to apple, the macpro does not support multiple graphic's cards, nor SLI. and again, going macpro would cost an additional grand just for the box, and two more grand for the 1.5 graphics card, all else is unsupported by apple. So again, I ask, do mac's handle graphic's differently? Nothing else would explain the wimpy graphic's options.

How to start my mac book pro safe mode?

my mac book pro is not start up but showing white screen . what should i do ?

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
b. If Step 1a fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
c. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
Step 3
Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 4
If you use a wireless keyboard, trackpad, or mouse, replace or recharge the batteries. The battery level shown in the Bluetooth menu item may not be accurate.
Step 5
If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
Step 6
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
Step 7
If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 11. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 8
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
Step 9
If the startup device is an aftermarket SSD, it may need a firmware update and/or a forced "garbage collection." Instructions for doing this with a Crucial-branded SSD were posted here. Some of those instructions may apply to other brands of SSD, but you should check with the vendor's tech support.
Step 10
Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 11
Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 12
This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 13
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

Fixed graphic mode causes windows freezing dv7

Hello guys,
I have a question about my hp dv7-6b21sm which has i7 2670qm, 8gb of ddr3, 1tb of hdd and a hd6770m graphic card. Now to the problem.
A little ago I've figured that battlefield 3 will not run in fullscreen unless I turn on "Fixed" graphic mode in bios. So that's what I did, switched from dynamic to fixed. And now the problem steps in. Everytime I choose the "fixed" mode, the PC boots into windows and then works for, let's say about 2-3min and then freezes and a reboot is in order. Dynamic mode doesn't do that. I have found no bios upgrades, mine is a version F.02, so I've tried to flash it to F.1b and it is not working. Just says that this driver is not for my dv7.
The next problem I've came across aswell is that if I run the game call of duty 2, the game automatically chooses the Intel hd 3000 although I've set the switchable graphics to High Performance. What the F? Still runs pretty smooth but I can't keep it with constant 250 fps ingame (don't ask why, a matter of being used to playing at that framerate).
The third problem looks like it is some sort of a "Standard" for HP. Overheating. My god. I'm playing skyrim on lowest settings and my gpu idles at about 50°C when under load, it jumps up to about 80°C. Is that like normal for HP notebooks? I remember playing it on my brothers ASUS and his max temps were about 60°C in a high mode, with same specs as my HP only graphics were Nvidia gt555m.
Oh and just remember the 4th problem. Youtube HD videos. Why is it that if I watch a HD video ripped from blu-ray, the picture is clean and sharp and colorful. Even Vimeo works like a charm on this machine for watching HD videos. Now when I go to youtube, play a video in 720p or 1080p or even Original quality, and put it to fullscreen, everything becomes square-like and choppy and graphics look like they are 240p stretched to full screen. I mean seriously HP...Is it that hard to make something with a little more quality to it? I've payed like 1000eur for this machine. For that money I would expect that it'd be working like charm.
Thank you for your replys guys,
zitnikp

Overheating is commonly reported in HP notebooks during intensive tasks like gaming. 80 degrees seems suspiciously high for gpu temps, are your sure you didnt mix this with your CPU temp. I have similar specs except with 1gb of vga memory and can normally play Skyrim at high settings at 1366x768 res, temperatures for my cpu can range from 60s to 70s but my gpu rarely goes past 70 degrees. If you set HP coolsense to 'coolest mode' this should solve your problem. As for your graphics problem, have you tried updating to latest amd drivers? 8.882.2.3xxx should be latest

Why is your "requirement" to install in graphical mode? Once you are past the installation itself, the only thing that buys you is that your server will have been configured to boot up to runlevel 5, running a graphical desktop (gnome or kde, I forget which). And what does THAT buy you on a server?
I do not run ANY of my Linux servers "in graphical mode" -- running a graphical desktop. Nor did I run a graphical desktop when I had Solaris, AIX, or HP-UX servers.

Oracle VM Server - install error - Graphical mode

Hi all!
I hope, you can help me the following problem.
I try to install an Oracle VM server to a FS server.
First, I tried the newest version - OVM S 2.2.1
In the begining Everything is allright.
But after I have to choose the keyboard, the next screen did not come up. Just a blue screen.
I went to the alt+F3 terminal, and I found a warning there:
WARNING Graphical mode is not avaible...Start text mode.
So the screen where I can partition the disk, did not come up..
I tried earlier version too - OVM server 2.1.5, but It is the same problem too.
Can somebody help me in this, what couse this problem, and how can I fix this, and install the O VM server?
Thx in advance!
Peter Kokai

I purchased an Asus Sabertooth motherboard with an I7 4770 cpu and the Oracle VM server fails to detect the motherboard. I am seeing the same error that is posted in the Known Issues list with the Dell 380 Broadcom ethernet adapter.
Do I have a compatibility issue? The disk ISO was being given out at EMC World. I do not know how to tell what version it is.
I tried downloading the 3.2.2 version iso and it seems to have trouble with my USB devices, because my keyboard stops working and I can't select between media cd test or skip.
Are there any workarounds? Should I just wait for a future release?

Guitar21,
your MacBook Pro has booted into its Recovery mode. From the OS X Utilities menu, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Does it get to the login screen now?

MIC / VENDOR Trend analysis in Graphical mode

Dear Freinds,
please explain me how top perform trend analysis in graphical mode for a material procured from a vendor over a period of time.
Report should display the charecterstics recorded for Material / Vendor combination.
I am not using SPC charecteristics.
regards
jeevan

Dear Jeevan
There are two ways in which you can do the graphical analysis for material vendor combination
1) You can do it in MCVD. Here you can get all the relevant mics in the desired combination
2) But a better graphical analysis can be done in QS28. But here you will have to specify the MIC.
Go to QS28. Input the plant and the mic and execute. You will get MIC details. Choose the MIC and click on Result history. A pop will appear Result history Limit Selection. Here you can mention the vendor . Execute you will get the entire list of lots with all values and charts. You can run chart, histogram, cp , CPk values. Run chart for mean, runchart for single values etc
You can do this through the inspection lot also. Go to QA33 > result> Select the Mic> go to Result history >enter the vendor. Execute you will get the entire list of lots with all values and charts
Hope this helps
