MBP won't offer 1920x1080 60Hz when the display is perfectly capable?

I am trying to connect my 2010 MBP (10.6.8) to a Toshiba 39" LED HDTV (39L22U) through miniHDMI. I am extending the display, not mirroring it, and want a 1920x1080 60Hz resolution, but that is not an option on the list. "1080p (Television)" is one of the options, but it most certainly looks terrible just like most of the other resolutions. I have found that the best looking option strangely enough is 1360x768 60Hz, but 768p is not ideal and I know that the TV is capable of much more.
I have downloaded programs like Switchresx and others to workaround and try to let me select the resolution, but have had no success with them. It kept telling me the resolution was invalid or something. Google has told others with a similar problem to use a miniDVI adapter, but the TV doesn't have DVI inputs and I would like to use the HDMI. I just got off the phone with Toshiba customer support and they told me that this is a Mac issue because the MBP sets the resolution, not their glorious TV.
Why will my computer offer everything up to 1600x900 60Hz, but not the one thing I'm looking for 1920x1080 60Hz?

Not resolved, only solution seems to be to ensure XP set to a single display before shutting down so that next time it can boot up when the LED display is not connected.

When creating a new DPS should I use sizes offered by InDesign or the display size of the device?

Hello all,
When creating a new DPS, should I use the sizes offered by InDesign or the display size of the device? I ran into this question when I was looking up the sizes of different devices and found that iPhone 5s, iPhone5c, and iPhone4s sizes differ than the defauly dimensions offered by InDesign.
Also, should I worry about the ppi resolution? With iPhone, they all seem to be 326ppi but when dealing with other devices is this something that I should take into consideration? Ideally, I could be creating DPS apps for all devices offered in the Digital Publishing drop down in InDesign (iPhone, iPad, Kindle Fire/Nook, and Android).
Thank you for any help you can provide.
By the way, if it helps I am using InDesign CC.

Using 1024x768 and creating PDF articles will get you OK with both iPad resolutions, and, as Bob L. says, quite decent "one size fits all" result for all other devices.

My computer won't turn on. When the charger is plugged in it flickers between yellow and green

I was using my MacBook pro felt it charging and asleep for 4 hours. I came back and it won't turn on. When the battery is plugged in it flickers between yellow and green.

First thing to try would be resetting the System Management Controller. If that doesn't fix it you are probably looking at a hardware issue. Carry the computer in to an Apple store or service provider, or call Apple to set up service.
Best of luck.

Why won't my screen turn when the phone does?

Not all apps support screen rotation. The Home screens do not rotate. But also check to make sure you have not locked screen rotation. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to reveal the Control Center and check that rotation lock is not on.

My mid-2012 MacBook Pro has the fan constantly running. As soon as I turn it on. My MBP won't even be hot and the fan is running. How can I fix this?

If you are still under warranty and/or have AppleCare, call them. Let them deal w/it.

Why won't my background rotate when The IPAD turns anymore

You posted this in the iPhone forum. Check in Control Center (swipe up from the home screen) and see if the rotation lock is turned on there (an icon of a lock with a circled arrow).

Problems with my display. However when I log in as a "guest" - the display is PERFECT!

I am having problems viewing content on my iMac, everything looks VERY washed out - no contrast. However I noticed that when I logged in as a "guest" - the display was perfect!!! Just like it is in the store. How can I get the display on my normal profile to look that same as my display for the guest profile. Thanks for the help

Post the results of an etrecheck report and we'll see what third party app may be causing it.

Does this happen still when you use another set of headphones? Have you check to make sure the headphone jack is clean and clear of debris? If so, the jack may be faulty or damaged meaning you'll need to take or send your iPod in for service/repair.

My phone won't use IMessage even when the person I'm txting has an iPhone why?

Why won't my phone use iMessage even when the person in txting has an iphone

I'm having same problem with sending to 3 people from a particular WiFi Network. For two people the iMessage i write is sending, but stops just before Delivery and then says not delivered. For the third person it immediately sends as text message.
Answered to questions above.
Can I send to others... Intermittent. Usually no, but then at some point a lot of iMessages comes at once.
Settings have been enabled.
Also other persons settings/Messages are enabling iMessage.
Enabled for WiFi + non roaming cellular ( at my end it should mean only wifi as I am in roaming area with wifi available).
Numbers are all enabled as we have used them a lot of times, an no changes or upgrades this month.
So: it seems to me to be a WiFi issue here, but the odd thing is that it sometimes lets iMessages through.
e-mail and browsing works fine.
Any suggestions?

An area at the center of the screen on my MBP remains light even when the display has gone to sleep. Should I be concerned?

I've just noticed that there's a roundish area at the center of my screen that never goes fully dark. If I turn the screen brightness right down, it's still bright, and if the display goes to sleep there remains a faint bright patch (If I put the computer to sleep the screen is completely dark).
Should I be concerned about this?
Thanks!

Boot from your install disc and test. If it still does it, you have a hardware issue. Contact Apple and get it serviced if you are still in warranty.

Music skips when the display off power setting kicks in

I have a Satellite S55T-B5152, running Windows 8 (until 10 comes out). I've noticed a very odd and irritating problem - when playing my local music via VLC Media Player (just mp3s from the hard drive), I notice that the audio will start to skip after a few minutes. I timed how long it took to start and it will happen after 10 minutes of no activity when plugged in, and after 2 minutes of no activity when on battery, each and every time. I investigated my power settings and it turns out this *exactly* the amount of time when my display is set to turn off. When I alter the time for the display to turn off, the time elapsed until the audio skips will follow it exactly. I tested this with another mp3 player (Foobar) as well and got the same results. I can't test this with video as my display won't turn off if I'm playing video (either in the player or via the internet). What's also kind of interesting is that if I close my lid, which turns off the display, it won't cause the audio to skip - it will ONLY happen when the time to turn off the display has elapsed. So if my time to turn off display is 2 minutes, I can close my lid and the audio plays fine, but after exactly 2 minutes, the audio will start skipping. Anyone have any thoughts on this? It's very annoying - I basically can't play music unless I set the display to never turn off, which I'd prefer not to do for power saving and longevity reasons. Help would be much appreciated.

Mount the Disk Image on the Desktop. Open Disk Utility and select the dmg file in the left hand pane:
Next insert a blank DVD and click on the Burn button at the top. In the next window select the burn speed you want. I use 2x.
Always use top quality media: Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

I have just updated my phone and now it won't turn back on. The display is currently black with the apple logo and a lot of sentences in white writing at the top all starting [NAND]????? what can i do to fix this?

I have just downloaded the new update and now my phone wont turn back on. The screen is blank with this across the top on the page:
[NAND]_findflashmediaandkeepout:601 physical nand blcok offset1......... (several more sentences similar to this saying error etc)
This happened before when the battery went dead and i plugged it in to charge, but started working again after a while. This time however its not doing anything.
HELP!

Might be hardware failure. Take the iPhone to the nearest Apple store
for evaluation. Make a Genius Bar appointment to avoid delay at the store.

Webcam on Envy 14 Beats only detects when the display is at a certain angle

HP Envy 14t-1100 CTO beats edition
Windows 7 64
"No webcam detected" using HP MediaSmart Webcam, webcam not showing under imaging devices in device manager
I've had my Envy 14 Beats for about 9 months, when I got it the webcam worked just fine. A few months ago I started noticing that when I tilted the display forwad or backward I would hear the alert noise for when a usb device is unplugged, at the time I didn't think much of it.
Just recently I went to use my webcam with the MediaSmart app and got the error message "No WebCam detected, try plugging in your webcam... yada yada." So I went to the device manager to see if there was a driver issue, to my surprise there was no "Imaging device" category. I scanned for new hardware, nothing turned up. While re-adjusting my sitting position on the couch I tilted the display screen slightly forward, and to my surprise the device manager list refreshed and suddenly the "Imaging Device" category was there with the webcam listed. I let go of the display (I was applying a small amount of pressure tilting it forward) and the usb disconnect noise beeped and the webcam disappeared from the device manager...
After a little more pushing and prodding I was able to reproduce the effect. If I have the display at a slightly larger then 90 degree angle (100 degrees-ish) and then put a little pressure on the display tilting towards me (going from ~100 degrees to ~97) the webcam will show up in the device manager and works like there's nothing wrong. If I let go of the display and let it sit open unassisted I get the disconnect system noise and the webcam and imaging device categor disappear from the device manager. I'm guessing there's a loose connection in the wiring that connects the display screen to the main body of the laptop.
My question, then, is what can I do about it? Obviously me holding the display in order to use my webcam doesn't fly, but am I going to have to send in my laptop for repair? I bought the laptop in early december of 2010 so it's still under warrenty. If I do have to send it in, will they wipe my hdd?
Any ideas or suggestions would be very appreciated, I know this is a wierd one, but that's just my luck I suppose.
Thanks!

I have the exact same problem. And I went through it twice. The first time I had this problem, I tried to work around by tilting the display to a certain angle, but eventually the webcam stopped getting recognized and after talking to the customer care and trying system restore and even factory reset, I had to send the laptop for warranty repair. This time I noticed the problem while using Skype or Google video chat. Whenever my video is on i.e. the webcam is working, my microphone picks up a loud noise which goes away when I switch off the video. I got the same effect in HP MediaSmart webcam program too. After a couple of month like this my webcam eventually has stopped getting recognized again.
Calling customer care would only result in suggestions of system restore/ factory reset when I know that the problem is in hardware. I believe the webcam connection is very weak to handle the display tilting. I have searched the web and have fond many similar problem reported by users.
I paid a premium for this laptop a year ago and I am surprised to find the same problem getting reported even now! Hope HP works on remedying this shoddy piece of design!
