1400x1050 Resolution in Mac OS X?

Hi,
I'm trying to connect a MacBook Pro to an LCD projector with a native resolution of 1400x1050. Unfortunately the highest 4:3 resolution that Mac OS X offers is 800x600. It's not a limitation of the hardware, as Windows 7 in Bootcamp has no problem displaying the correct resolution.
I've tried using the utility SwitchResX to create a custom resolution, but the highest I've had success with is 1024x768.
Is using Windows my only option if I want to display images on that projector at full quality, or is there a way of getting its native resolution in Mac OS X?

What may give you more options:
- Start Preferences
- Then click on the Screen symbol with pressed Option key
- Then click on Scaled with pressed Option key
At least in my case and with a video project this gave me the option(s) I was looking for.

I have a new macbook pro and an LG w2361v monitor. The max resolution the mac is allowing me to set is 1400x1050, why can't I get to the max resolution the monitor can accept (1900x1080)

I have a new macbook pro and an LG w2361v monitor. The max resolution the mac is allowing me to set is 1400x1050, why can't I get to the max resolution the monitor can accept (1900x1080)? I know that the monitor is able to accept this resolution but It can't seem to find it. Is it something to do with the new thunderbolt port? or the fact that I'm utilizing the VGA adaptor? I could go HDMI if that works better.

Use DVI or HDMI.
VGA runs out of steam after a while.

How do I adjust display resolution for Mac Mini?

How do I adjust display resolution for Mac Mini? Text does not look crisp. Using Samsung 27 inch monitor with HDMI input

Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Displays. Depending on your version of Mac OS X, it may be set for "Best for Display" in which case it should already be set at the optimum for your monitor, or it may display resolution options in which case you should set it for the native resolution of your display.

Changes in DNS resolution in Mac OS X Snow Leopard

Disclaimer: Apple does not necessarily endorse any suggestions, solutions, or third-party software products that may be mentioned in the topic below. Apple encourages you to first seek a solution at Apple Support. The following links are provided as is, with no guarantee of the effectiveness or reliability of the information. Apple does not guarantee that these links will be maintained or functional at any given time. Use the information below at your own discretion.
There have been two major changes in DNS resolution in Mac OS X Snow Leopard as compared to Mac OS X Leopard and previous releases, and this tip is intended to explain them.
1) User-specified DNS servers, if any, are now used to the exclusion of all others
DNS server addresses may be manually-specified by users via the Networking preference pane by selecting the active interface (e.g. AirPort, Ethernet, etc.), the clicking the "Advanced…" button in the lower right hand corner of the window, and selecting the "DNS" tab.
DNS server addresses may also be provided by a DHCP server.
In Mac OS X Snow Leopard, if any DNS servers are manually specified, they will be the only DNS servers consulted; any DNS servers specified via DHCP will be ignored
This differs from Mac OS X Leopard and previous releases of Mac OS X, as in those releases, if DNS servers were specified manually as well as provided via DHCP, the manually-specified server(s) would be queried first, and if those requests failed, requests would then be sent to any DNS server(s) specified via DHCP.
This means that in Mac OS X Snow Leopard, if queries to manually-specified DNS servers fail, the request will be considered to have failed and no DHCP-specified DNS server will ever be queried.
Users may encounter this because at some point a DNS server (which is no longer functioning or reachable) was manually set in a work or other environment and they had forgotten about it since the previous behavior was for failed requests to "fall through" to DHCP-specified servers.
Because of the change in behavior, those same systems will fail to resolve any DNS requests in Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
2) mDNSResponder does not honor DNS server ordering
While not explicitly documented, in Mac OS X versions earlier than Snow Leopard, DNS servers, whether specified manually or via DHCP, were queried in the order they were provided. For manual specification, this means in the order shown in the appropriate Network preferences pane tab, and for DHCP users in the order specified by the DHCP server.
This is no longer true in Mac OS X Snow Leopard; instead mDNSResponder now seems to occasionally change the order in which it queries DNS servers from that in which they were specified.
This has caused some users issues when DNS servers are specified in a specific sequence.
For example, say your network has two DNS servers, a main server at address 192.168.100.1, and a secondary server at 192.168.100.2, which is normally only to be used if the primary DNS server fails as it is slower and/or has a slower link to the Internet.
If they were specified in that order, past versions of Mac OS X would query them in that order, and unless a failure occurred contacting the primary server, the second server specified would never be contacted.
In Mac OS X Snow Leopard, under various conditions mDNSResponder will instead decide to route all DNS queries to the second DNS server specified, perhaps as a method of routing DNS queries in a round-robin fashion.
Nevertheless, this behavior is unexpected to most users, and may cause issues if the previous behavior was expected.
The only workaround is to realize that Mac OS X Snow Leopard treats all specified DNS servers as being equally capable and to specify DNS servers, either manually or via DHCP, accordingly.

According to the copy&paste from wikipedia, HDMI should support higher resolution than 1920x1200. So the question is, does it aupport that on the mid 2011 mac mini. It says in the specifications
"Mac mini is designed to work with HDMI devices that comply with versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.2a, 1.3, 1.3a, and 1.4 of the HDMI specification."
That should mean it should be able to support it, but I don't know : <

CS6 resolution on Mac Book Pro Retina Display

The resolution for all CS6 programs on mac book pro retina is horrific. Will there be updates?! I am quite frustrated that I can barely see any of my type in Indesign.

InDesign has yet not came up with the retina display support update but yes we are going to have the support of retina display for most of the products eventually.

Display resolution and Mac OS X 10.5.7

I am now using my Mac mini (early 2009) as my primary computer (new aluminum keyboard and an LG 23" LCD HDTV) and have sent the iMac Core Duo to "the boys" room for them to use. But they have called my attention to the display resolution a few times since I updated it to 10.5.7. The iMac seems to be lost as to what its default resolution should be. It was always set 1024x768, but that appears really tiny onscreen.
I also have noticed a large number of folks in the Mac mini (early 2009) forums complaing that after the update, they have lost the native resolutions they previously used with the mini and HDTVs when setup as a media center.
Has anyone here noticed resolution issues following updating to 10.5.7? Have you found a way to correct the issue?

Hi David
No problems here with the 10.5.7 update, the resolution on my 17" is and always has been set to 1440x900 Millions both before and after the update. +(1440x900 is the native res. for a 17" display)+
If I switch the iMac Display to 1024x768 Millions it makes everything larger and slightly blurred, again the same before and after the update.
Also note that the settings for my connect 27" Sharp flat screen TV are 1024x768 60Hz (NTSC) Millions was not affected in anyway. I always run my setup in Extended Desktop, but if I switch to Mirroring then both the iMac and TV Displays go to 1024x768.
Sound to me like it has something to do with selecting the Mirroring/(Extended Desktop)Mirroring Off feature...?

Strange resolution problem mac mini 2010 w lion 10.7.3

Hi!
I use XBMC as a media center client, and did the update to 10.7.3 yesterday. This update gave me a problem with the resolution on a 55 "LED TV.
If xbmc is running and I switch the source on the television to for example, tuner or blueray player, and then switch back to the mac mini running xbmc, the resolution changes, everything is so big on the screen that you cant read it. I need to force down xbmc and turn back to lion, and then start xbmc again.xbmc is running 1080i 50 Hz PAL, the same for lion.
My mini is always on, and if i leave it over night or some hours, the resolution in lion changes to 960x540 60 Hz NTSE by itself. therfore i belive the problem is lion and not the xbmc. it looks like the mini forget the settings. I tried to format the mini and installed a frech copy of lion 10.7.3 Still problems!
Anyone? please help me, I use the Mini very much and this is an annoying problem

I ran a few more tests and this problem has something to do with the Video Card sensing the TV (or at least I think). The resolution drops to 960x540 HiDPI 60 Hz NTSC when I return from TV to HDMI (Mac Mini) after any of the following:
1. Screen saver was activated
2. Screen was switched off by Lion Power management
I don't beleive this to do with any application running like Plex or XMBC. I tested this with no applications running just what ever Lion loads in the begining.
I tried reseting the PMU but that didn't help.
The only workarround I found was not to uese any screen savers and not allow the screen to switch off (Power Saving Options)
I have submitted a bug report to Apple hopefully they will look into it.
Hope this helps.

Facebook pictures uploaded from iPhoto get displayed in low resolution on mac browsers

... but is otherwise fine on PC version of the browsers.
When viewing facebook photos on Safari (or Chrome, or Firefox) on Mac, photos uploaded using iPhoto get displayed in low res. Manually uploaded (through facebook upload tool) photos are displayed ok.

Hi Jon,
Thank so much for your reply. That portion I comfortable with, but was thinking I could take photos with my mobile phone and have them sync to a folder on my PC as my originals. I dont want to download photo's from my phone. It does work as desired exept the fact that the photos resolution is lower on the PC than the "originals" on the Revel website.
If I right click on the photo in PE and select "download original from revel" it works, but sort of defeats it purpose in my case.
It seems like Photoshop is not importing the pic at the original resolution. ie to me I would expect a "import original resolution" inside photoshop.
I am using PE12.
I dont like to compare PE revel to apple iCloud, but this is how their software works. If I take a photo on my iPhone its on my mac in full res within minutes to do with as I please. This is what I was thinking Revel could do for me and more. Dropbox, Onedrive and Googledrive all support this, but then I have to import it into PE.
Once again. Thanks for taking the time to reply. Much appreciated!!
Kind Regards
Jason

30 in resolution Power Mac G5

I have a Power Mac G5 running OS X 10.5.8 and when I connect my 30 in Cinema Display to DVI port 2 I get only a resolution option of 1280x800 when the monitor should get up to 2560x1600.
what am I doing wrong or can I do to fix this?
Do I need a dual-link DVI port adapter does my power mac have one?

The ATI Radeon 9600 Pro or XT that shipped with a G5 is only single-link DVI, so can't run a 30" at full resolution.
You need a dual-link DVI AGP card, such as:

Forcing 640x480 resolution on Mac Mini

We are trying to connect our Mac Mini to our LCD panel TV. It worked for a while but now the computer refueses to keep the display setting at 640x480. Using a regular VGA monitor, we set it at 640x480 save, restart and it comes back at 800x600. I have trashed all the preferences files, run the password fix and hard disc utility from the master OS disc, reset the PRAM, started up in the safey mode... The System Prefs will change to just about any other resolution but refuses to hold at 640x480. This must be done before we connect the LCD TV because we just get a blank screen after the startup (the startup preable we CAN see). The only other thing I can think to try is to reinstall the OS but that's going to be a HUGE pain...requiring hours...days to rebuild. Any suggestions? Are there any resolution toggle keys on Mac like on PCs?

There is no solution for displays that are not Mac-Compatible.

1080 resolution on Mac Pro

Hey,
This is a carry on from the other topic I posted up:
I'm trying to attach my HD TV to my Mac Pro but it doesnt seem to work.
What I would like to do is to set the resolution of my displays to the native resolution of the TV which is 1920 x 1080 but I cannot find this option in the display preferences.
Screenshot:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8024404/display.png
I've seen screen shots online where users have the option to choose 1080i or 1080p. This would be ideal!
My hardware:
Mac Pro 8 Core
GFX: Nvidia 8800GT (with dual DVI output)
OSX : 10.6.4 (Snow Leopard)
Cheers,

Hi-
If the graphics card firmware does not have resolution support needed for a particular monitor, it won't show as an option.
You can create new, custom resolutions using SwitchResX;

The difference between 1080p vs 1080i is not something to worry about.

How to fix Photoshop CS4 from opening in low resolution with mac retina?

My photoshop is opening in low resolution on my new Mac (I can see this from the application's 'get info'). How can I stop this from happening? It wasn't doing this before, but I needed support from Apple who told me to 'Verify' the hard drive in disc utility.
Please help!

CS4 was ready for retina displays? Are you sure?
It wasn't doing this before
Do you mean before you got a higher resolution monitor?
