Macbook doesn't have the right resolution for external monitor.

I have a Macbook Pro runing OS X 10.7.5 and have a HP w1907 LCD monitor. When I have the Macbook open, I can get the proper resoulution of 1440x900 on the LCD while the monitors are Mirrored. But when the macbook is closed, the options for the LCd monitor are replaced by VGA display. The VGA Display options do not have the 1440x900 resolution option.
What do I have to do to get my monitor's native resolution back while keeping the macbook closed.

Aha - got luck: In Preferences/DIsplays click in the window and press 'Option' - the 'Gather Windows' button changes to 'Detect Displays' and when clicked, discoverd the correct resolution.
That does it.

What is the max resolution for external monitors from the intel hd 4000 graphics driver

What is the max resolution supported by the intel hd 4000 graphics driver found on the 13in MacBook Pro for EXTERNAL monitors?

OK so after doing much research... this seems to be the best workflow.
Bring HDV in to FCP as ProRes 422.
Edit show... add bells and whistles, etc.
Export movie as ProRes 422.
Then for the client - ensure that they have latest version of Quicktime and download the Apple ProRes Quicktime Decoder (for mac or Windows). (It is assumed they have a decent computer to play back on.)
The client will then be able to play a movie encoded as proRes 422 and all will be happy.
As a back up a high resolution h264 file can't hurt.
Thanks for everyones input. We got there in the end.

My new macbook doesn't have the right dictionary

I just bought a new MacBook Air. I've been trying for hours to find or install the spellcheck dictionary for my language, Norwegian bokmål, and I've had no luck. I can choose several other language dictionaries, but not this one. My display is Norwegian, I can set Norwegian as my priority for languages, but I don't have a dictionary.
Also, I bought this computer in Norway.

Does the Macbook pro retina have the ability to use external speakers

The speakers will have to be externally powered and have internal amplifiers. Is that the case?

Do i have the right equipment for CCNA-Wireless?

Hello community i am Adan Ramirez, an aspiring Cisco Tech, and I'm trying to get the right equipment for the ccna wireless.
Here is my shopping list:
1. 2 Cisco LWAP 1252
3. NME-WLC6-K9 module card
Here is what i already have at home:
1. 1841(2x) - iOS 12.4(24)
2. 2811(2x) - iOS 15.something something...
3. 3560 - iOS 15.something something
4. 2960 - iOS 15.something something
Problem: I don't know if the NME needs the latest iOS, the one i saw on eBay says it's version 4.2 something something. I don't have three thousand dollars to buy a brand new module with iOS 7.0 or $ 12,000 to buy a 5500 WLC. I'm a broke college student T_T, help!
and thanks!

Hi,
This is sufficient for your CCNA wireless studies. Probably I would add a VM which can run WCS.
If you really need a WLC, you can buy 4400 series controller (can run upto 7.0.x) for ~200-300 USD. This is the version tested in CCIEv2.0 lab exam as well.
This is the Cisco forum you should follow for this CCNA-Wireless studies

Setting the resolution for external monitor

Hello all,
I just purchased a ViewSonic vx2025wm 20.1" external monitor for my PowerBook G4 1.5Ghz 12". I've scoured the discussions regarding my question, but couldn't seem to find it. So I'll post it here...
I've successly connected the ViewSonic to my PB and the image seems to display fine in "spanning" mode (ie images span over two screens). However, when I try to "mirror" (ie have the same view show on both screens) the external monitor displays a 1024x768 resolution (the PB displays this as well, but that is the optimal resolution for the 12"). My question is this: how can I mirror while having each screen display its optimal resolution (the optimal resolutions would be 1680x1050 for the External monitor, and 1024x768 for the PB).
Thanks in advance for any wisdom on this!
PowerBook G4 1.5 Ghz 12 inch Mac OS X (10.4.6) 1.25 Gig RAM

Thanks for the quick response -- and one follow-up question. Will turning mirror off (which, if I understand correctly, will place the displays in spanning mode) cause a strain on my PB? Since the PB will be supporting the displays of both the external monitor plus its own display. Does that make sense? I actually read something related to this in these discussions which is why I brought it up. I will try to locate that discussion and place a link in this thread so I can better explain.

Tecra S2 - resolution for external monitor on NVIDIA GeForce Go 6600

Hello! I'm new here ...
I have a Tecra S2 with Windows XP SP2 and graphic card NVIDIA GeForce Go 6600. Internal resolution (display of notebook) is 1024 x 768. Its work fine. But I work with an external monitor VGA with "DualView" function. It is a Samsung Syncmaster 940N.
It??s all OK (19", resolution 1280 x 1024), with my new monitor Samsng Syncmaster 203B don't work: The external monitor's native resolution is 1400x1050 but the maximal resolution available is 1280 x 1024. And so, using 1280x1024 resolution, will cause the image on the external monitor and text is not clear.
I cannot set the 1400 x 1050 resolution via Control Panel nor via NVIDIA -menu.
Graphic card drivers are updated to the last version on the Toshiba site. Graphic card NVIDIA GeForce Go 6600 is supported from my monitor Syncmaster 203B.
Max. resolution for external video of NVIDIA GeForce Go 6600 is higher as 1400 x 1050.
I need to use this new monitor, can you help me?
Many thanks in advance!

Unfortunately the Tecra S2 isn't capable to display the resolution 1400x1050.
Here are the resolutions you can use.
Support Resolution/Color(CRT)
640x480 16bit/32bit colors(Depending on CRT)
800x600 16bit/32bit colors(Depending on CRT)
1024x768 16bit/32bit colors(Depending on CRT)
1280x1024 16bit/32bit colors(Depending on CRT)
1400x1050 N/A
1600x1200 16bit/32bit colors(Depending on CRT)

T400s max resolution for external monitor ?

Hello
What is the max resolution for an external monitor connected to a thinkpad t400s ? The reason i am asking is that:
a) Intel says: the max resolution of Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD is 2048x1536
b) Lenovo says: DisplayPort + D-sub dual-display output support 2560×1600 maximum resolution
What are your experiences and what maximum resolutions on external monitors have you succesfuly tried in real life ?
Would it be possible to connect a 30" monitor at 2560x1600 to a thinkpad t400s ?

i don't know and i never tried but i'm inclined to trust intel more than lenovo on this...unless the t400s has some beefed-up x4500mhd
T400s - 2815RW1 + Win7 Ultimate
Don't pm me for help! That's what the forum is for. Also, Google's nicer than me. Ask him.

How to enable the wide resolution on external monitor on Satellite A40-261

Hello to all,
I've a Satellite A40 notebook and just bought an external widescreen monitor. I only find normal resolutions in the display property box. Is it possible to expand the range with widescreen resolutions?
Regards, Leander

Hello guys.
Firstly I would like to say something about the screen resolutions.
Mostly the certain resolution is not available because the resolution is not listed in the graphic driver. In other words, if the driver doesnt support this resolution so you will be not able to choose it.
We try to investigate a little bit:
@BKV
You have a Satellite M100. As you said this notebook has a ATI card installed.
Did you check settings in the ATI catalyst? Go to the display properties and choose Advanced. There you should choose the ATI catalyst tab.
New window should open and you should see the ATU catalyst control center.
Check View Advanced view display option. Check this area. Maybe the resolution is available there.
@Lea
Your unit uses Intel graphic card but the Intel tab should be also placed in the Advanced options of graphic card properties.
If you dont found the right resolution so I presume the driver does not support it!

Maximum resolution for external monitor on a B570e

hi,
i've just bought a Lenovo B570e in which i've plugged a Philips 221 V. That has a nominal resolution of 1920 x 1080.
However, when I try and setup its resolution, whether it's through the native windows graphic manager or the intel graphic manager, to 1920 x 1080, nothing is displayed. I need to lower the resolution down to 1680 x 1050 in order for the lenovo to display anything on the external monitor.
am i missing something, or is 1680 x 1050 the maximum resolution for dual display?
thank you
J.

thanks for the help.

Finding the right resolution for MBP to projector

Hi there,
I have a lecturer who uses a MBP 15" to project powerpoint slides and him using circuit modelling software.
What I've noticed is the whole setup is quite cumbersome:
eg:
The projected image is not wide screen like the MBP (i am guessing the projector is at 1024x768)
This means when he runs a simulation for eg. the output pops up in it's own window, and usually off the visible screen on the projector.
needless to say, he spends alot of time awkwardly resizing windows and shifting them around just to illustrate a basic point.
My question is, if I help him resize the resolution so his MBP matches the projector, will the MBP switch back to native when he unplugs it? Will the MBP remember the projector settings next time, and resize automatically when he plugs it in, or will he have to fiddle with resolutions everytime he plugs it in? ( if so, shame on you apple!)
If so, does anyone know of a utility out there that would make this process easier? ie Detect that the projector is connected/disconnected and change the resolution accordingly.
Thanks for your help - it's difficult watching him fiddle as the proj screen is behind him and he has to turn around to see what's acutally visible to the class! It should be easier than that - it's an Apple!
Mac Book Pro Mac OS X (10.4)

Hi
I have the same issue - when I'm presenting, most of the time I use the customer's projector, so I have no idea what resolution it will be. My MBP 17" widescreen generally offers me different resolutions after the autodetect, but they're either larger than the projector display, or half the slides are missing on the right hand side.
Is there a way to choose other resolutions?
Regards
Shaun

Grub (os-prober) doesn't generate the right entries for Arch

I'm getting Arch installed (on a separate partition) from a system which has Manjaro on it already. [I had lots of trouble yesterday and finally just had Manjaro do a complete install, because I couldn't get the EFI boot to work, so that's why I'm started from that.]
Manjaro generates entries for itself which work, and it generates entries for Arch, but it fills in the UUID and hdX,gptX information for Arch wrong - it puts the same information in as for itself.
I've checked under Arch's own /boot/grub/grub.cfg and that file has the correct entries.
How do I get the os-prober to see these? (i'm running the grub-update while the Arch partition is mounted).

CarlD wrote:
If I understand your post correctly, you are installing on a UEFI system. os-prober basically doesn't work on UEFI (i.e. it only works for BIOS systems).
Gummiboot is a better alternative, as it will automatically detect installed OSs via their .efi stubs.
Ah, I didn't know that (this is the first time I've done anything substantial in terms of config on an UEFI system).
Is Gummiboot fairly easy to set up? It'll find the other OSs .efi entries? I'm somewhat loath to fiddle with this as I ended up with an unbootable system yesterday (now Manjaro's installer has something in place which works (for itself), which is GRUB based).
Additional:
Right now Manjaro has got some sort of "legacy_boot" partition (256MiB) mounting at /boot, and the actual EFI partition (100MiB) mounting at /boot/efi. I understand that I should actually have the EFI partition mounting directly at /boot but am worried about a non-breaking way of trying to setup gummiboot.

Do I have the right software for my needs?

I have an issue with just jumping on forums and asking for help with code and build assistance, how do i do this or that.
My point in this visit is because of some frustration with designing a simple flash vid. I have no idea what Adobe product I should be using because the site poorly defines the products they have. All I want is a video that fades through a few pictures on a loop. Something too heavy for a gif.
The learning video's go right past this level of basics into application building and the help files are so adjoined to hard code, I feel like Flex is not the right thing to be using.
Can someone give me a suggestion as to what software I should look at OR a better push in the direction of learning how to use this builder. Please excuse my stubbornness to envelop myself in this software but I have less time than i care to admit.
TIA!
William
If you wanted some details on what i am stuck with, for starters, i have to states (an image in each) and i'm trying to make a fade transition between the two. What i am having trouble finding is how to implement a timer that automatically activates that transition. ....ok, i sunk to my predefined low ;p

Outstanding! Thanks for the assistance.
I'm all ears for any other suggestions that anyone else has.
