Will migration assistant change the default display settings on my new Mac?

I just set up a new iMac and used Migration Assistant to load from my Time Machine. But now the display looks muted and not as bright. Would Migration Assistant change the default display settings on my new Mac?

Migration Assistant may not be the cause. But you should reset the NVRAM and see it that fixes the issue.
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 third time.
Release the keys.

    Hello:
    Will Migration Assistant application transfer my applications' settings and all my games' save file such as Spore and even ported games?
    I doubt if anyone can answer your question.  With a new Mac, setup assistant opens the first time the system is turned on.  One can also use migration assistant.
    I have used both for several years and have never "lost" any data.
    If you want to move, have a good backup and then do it.

  • Change the default margin settings for the MS word!

    Hi All,
    BI Publisher version:latest 10.1.3.4
    DB:10.2.0.4
    Oracle Apps:12.0.6
    OS:AIX
    We are facing an issue of which description is as below:
    RTF output is being uploaded through "XML Publisher" Responsibility.
    3.1.9 Header and Footer Margin from Edge Not Preserved in RTF Output
    This issue applies to Versions 10.1.3.3, 10.1.3.3.1, 10.1.3.3.2, 10.1.3.3.3, 10.1.3.4, and 10.1.3.4.1.
    Microsoft Word provides a Page Setup option for specifying the margin for the headers and footers from the edge of the page. This option is available by choosing the File menu, then Page Setup, then the Margins tab, and the From edge box. This margin setting is not retained when the output format is RTF. The output is created with the default margin settings instead. The margin settings do work correctly for other output formats such as HTML, PDF, and Excel.
    So, the "default setting" mentioned here is around 1/2 inch for MS Word which is getting added in the output, even if the margin in template is zero.
    Expected output:
    So what we need to do is -
    1. Check the MS word installation on the application server
    2. Change this default margin setting as top and bottom 0 on the server in the MS word page setup. (I can give you steps to do this in word if required)
    We have tried setting this margin to 0 on client side and generating the output and it makes no difference, so it must be coming from the server.
    We need to know how could we modify the settings and need to know te source and Check the MS word installation on the application server?
    Could anyone please share such an issue faced before!
    Thanks for your time!
    Regards,

    Hi All,
    Moreover,
    Our understanding about the RTF output is this -
    When we generate an RTF report output from Oracle EBS, the word document that is generated is with the settings of MS word that is installed on application server.
    This understanding could be wrong as we have never faced such situation before! We have come to this conclusion because the default settings that we do on client machine do not work.
    And as per the documentation of BI publisher the RTF should always be generated with the default settings of MS word.
    So what you could help us with is this -
    1. See if the MS word application is installed on application server ( if you think this is not application server, but any other server then please check there!)
    2. Change the default margin settings for the MS word.
    Regards,

  • Changing the default download settings in the excel.

    Hi All,
    Is there any methodology to change the default settings of the download of a report to a excel file. Because when I try to download reports having pivoted chart view it tends to hide the titles. I have added the padding but no luck. It is taking the default settings.
    Is there any xml file where we change those properties?
    Thanks:

    George,
    Thanks a lot, that is very helpful.
    To solve my problem I am going to use that method (Create a new file @ startup, see if it exists, and if it does not exist then it is the first time running) and tweak it a little to solve my exact problem.
    I need to be sure that the application is being run after installation (from the installer), because the user MAY select "do not run after install", in which case the first time they try to run the program by opening an associated file, the program will exit, which is not a good first impression to leave on the user.
    So I will check if the file exists created and if then i will check if arguments (file name) is being passed.
    1. If a file name argument is passed I'll create the file and continue running to program. - First time run, but not from installer.
    2. If no argument is present and it is the first time, I will shut down immediately with no message. - First time running/run from installer.
    3. If no argument is present and file exists, exit with error (file needed). - Not the first time run, but no argument passed.
    4. If argument exists and and file exists, run program. - Normal execution.

  • Changing the default installation settings in AIR installer

    I was wondering if there is a way to change the default settings the the AIR Installer uses when installing an Application that I created.
    More specifically, when the user is going through the installation process for my application using the AIR Installer, I would like the default setting to be to NOT launch the application once the install is completed.
    The reason for this is that my application is intended to only be launched by opening a file with the associated type. When it is launched with either no command line arguments, or invalid ones, the user is given an error message telling them that a file name is expected, and the application is terminated.
    I do not want the user to receive this message immediately following installation (if they do not change the "launch after installation" to NO).
    Is this possible? If not, does anyone have a suggestion to avoid this problem?
    Thanks a lot,
    Jason

  • Create a Loolup field with PowerShell but Change the Default Display field

    Hi 
    I am creating the a load of site columns with PowerShell. In the case of a Lookup Column I want to ensure that a the the industry column is checked programmatically.
    $myField.LookupList = $spLookupList.ID
    $myField.LookupField = $LookUpmyField.InternalName
    As you can see there is no provision for a display name (Industry) which I want to display to the user once they select a lookup column
    I just know somebody is going to suggest CAML !!!!  Btw the code works but none of the checkboxes are selected as expected.

  • What are the default display settings on MBP?

    I have been working on finding the best setting for a new video projector in conjunction with my MacBook Pro.
    So I found one - but then when I went back, restarting, the MBP, I thought I was going blind! I have tried a few settings in display, but at the moment they all look "off."
    I want to go back to default -- can someone please tell me what that is?
    Thanks!
    Patty

    The brightness is fine - what I am wondering about is
    the resolution.
    Is default 1440, 900 and Millions?
    That seems to be about right now - feels better to
    the eye!
    Patty
    Hi Patty,
    Yes, that is the correct resolution. 1440X900 is default.

  • Can you change the default code that targets a new window to change the content in a div tag instead

    I created a database for store locations.  I was able to display the list of stores.  Here though I don't want the list to show the number in front of it...  I still need to find the CSS to edit my results for this one.  However, more importantly, I don't want to open my results in a new window, I want to be able to target a DIV tag instead.
    This is the code that is created to display the list of stores.
    {module_webapps,5665,a,,,_blank,,50,,1}
    Currently it opens a blank window.  I'd like to target a div tag on the right of the list area where the store info can appear.
    Perhaps the gurus at adobe can upgrade this feature?  Target DIVs instead of new or blank windows, or using frames. Below is the screen of the links created from the DB.
    Below is the blank window that it opens.
    Would like to make it open in a div to the right of the list.  Not sure how to change to core code that was created to make that change.

    I'm doing something wrong.  I have the list showing the stores in CA
    <div class="flip" id="woodcontainer" style="width: 160px; height: 23px;">
    <h1>CALIFORNIA</h1>
    </div>
    <div class="panel">
    <script>
      $("#infochange").load("{module_webapps,5665,c,41140}"); /* this creates the list of stores in CA where #infochange is the DIV I am targeting.
    </script>
    </div>
    <br />
    The code for the DIV where I want the details to load.
    <div id="infochange"></div>
    This doesn't make sense because I need to have something in the DIV as a holder of some sort?

  • How do I change the default App Store account on my Mac?

    I recently traded my MacBook Pro for a MacBook Air with someone in my area. When I go into the AppStore, it allows me to sign into my Apple account and download apps, but when I go to my updates tab, in order to update it says I have to sign in to a different E-mail account that belongs to the individual I traded with. It doesn't allow me to sign into my own account from that screen and is preventing me from doing any updates to my iLife software.
    Thanks for any help you can offer!

    Here are the steps the previous owner should have taken -- I suggest you do them instead:

  • Do you change the default RAW conversion settings?

    I have used Sony (and formerly used Panasonic MFT) cameras (a900, a850) for two or three years and never had any reason to change the default RAW conversion settings.  Five weeks ago I started using Sony's new a77, and for the first time am not satisfied with Aperture's default RAW conversion.  (I recalibrated all my monitors -- twice -- thinking that something in my color workflow had got busted.)  The default a77 RAW file conversion results in an overly-saturated, "Disneyfied" picture.  I have found that by sliding "Boost" almost to zero, and cutting "Hue Boost" by half, I end up with a much more life-like, atmospheric, picture -- and one that closely matches the default rendering of RAW files from the a850 and a900.
    1.  Do you change the default RAW conversions settings?  Why?
    2.  To what units, specifically, do the scales of these controls refer?
    3.  It seems that Hue Boost provides a range of settings that corresponds to the print settings "Perceptual" (= zero hue boost) to "Relative Colorimetric" (= full hue boost); does that make sense?
    The User Manual, as usual, provides a solid concise explanation of the RAW Fine Tuning Brick.
    Any experience you can share is appreciated.  Thanks.
    (Added:
    (It seems conceptually wrong to me to have these controls be part of the RAW converter.  Are there other adjustments in Aperture that do the same thing?)
    --Kirby.
    Message was edited by: Kirby Krieger

    William -- many thanks for your help.  I will almost certainly change the default for my a77 (as well as for the Nex-7 I used for a week).
    Are there is any other adjustments mathematically similar to the "Boost" or "Hue Boost" sliders in the RAW Fine Tuning Brick?  I ask for two reasons:
    - Mostly I'm just trying to figure out what they do, and strengthen with knowledge my quiver of Aperture effects.  According the the User Manual, they change the overall contrast, and the amount to which the hue is changed as the overall contrast is increased. 
    - In practice, it makes sense to me to have the RAW conversion produce the "flattest", least "effected" image possible -- to leave _aesthetic_ adjustments to me.  I don't want to use the RAW Fine Tuning controls as part of my workflow; I want to know how to get the same increase in contrast and control of hues using other adjustments (that, specifically, don't require de-mosaic'ing).  Apple seems to indicate that the use of the RAW Fine Tuning controls may be the best approach:
    For images that consist of saturated primary and secondary colors, such as an image of flowers in a lush garden, shifting the hues to their true values has a desirable visual effect. However, this is not visually desirable for images containing skin tones.
    The implication is spelled out in the sentencesthat follow: use the max setting for flowers, and the minimum setting for portraits.  Isn't it odd that this recommendation is left to the RAW converter, and is buried deep in the User Manual?

  • Default Display Settings T61

    Hi
    Does anyone know what the default display settings are for the T61. Some settings were "changed" when the device would not connect to a projector in a hotel. It will now not connect to any external monitor.
    Thanks

    Native resolution on 13" MBP is 1280 x 800.

    There you will find a drop down list with different resolutions. Select 1280 x 800

  • Can I change the default page size for SYSBUILD?

    When I start SYSBUILD it always has a default page size of Letter set, is there any way to change this as most of the blocks I wish to print are to be printed on A3 paper?
    Many thanks
    Tim

    Hi Tim,
    Unfortunately there is no option to change the default print settings for SystemBuild. You must manually select the A3 paper size under File>>Page Setup.
    Thanks for the suggestion though, I will pass that on to R&D as a product suggestion for a future release.
