After disconnecting my macbook 2010 from my TV the resolution doe snot fir on the macbook screen

I connected my Macbook 2010 to my Samsung tv after disconnecting it Now I cannot fit the MAcbook screen whatever I do

Have you checked SYSTEM PREFERENCES>DISPLAY>RESOLUTIONS?
Or you may have the display zoomed in.  CONTROL with a two finger drag on the trackpad towards you will take care of that.

    I was at the Apple Service. The problem was the 750Gb Toshiba HDD. It's incredible what noise can make that little thing
    I didn't know the hdd position is on left on MBP 17" ,  I thought is the same position like MBP15"
    I did't lose any kind of data.. it was fix on time.
    Anyway, thank u guys....and don't forget that noise !!!  
    P.S. I'll make a song with that noise sample to remember it

  • I just set up a new computer running Windows 8.1. When I go to my icloud photostream, the pictures are in PNG format NOT JPG. When I open and upload photos from the photostream, the resolution is so low that the image quality is terrible. Help?!?

    Hey Sierra, You can do just what you have stated. My question, what is your "other"? If it is over 1.5 GB you most likely have corrupt files. Doing a Restore to New, Factory restore should correct it. Just make sure you make a full backup of all information on your iPod to your computer before you restore, so you don't lose your stuff, contacts, videos, pictures, non-iTunes music, etc, use the cable and connect with your computer. Then, via cable, connect to your computer, run the Restore to new, don't use your backup. Treat this iPod as if it was your first one ever. When restore is done, set up and add what info you wish to install on this iPod. The music apps etc you purchased should be on your computer, if not you should be able to retrieve purchased apps and music from iTunes. Any music, videos, apps not purchased from iTunes will be lost to you if you do not save them to your computer or the cloud first. When your done, make a current Backup and you should good to go. Hope this helps. Good luck. Cheers.

  • Does anyone know why- when I iport a one minute video project into Final Cut X from I Movie the resolution that looked alright in IMovie full screen becomes worst in final cut, full screen...but clear when it is in still position?

    Does anyone know why- when I import a one minute video project into Final Cut X from I Movie the resolution that looked alright full screen in I Movie instantly becomes worst on full screen in Final Cut X...but clear again when I stop it to still position?

    I'm new to video editing but I think I recall seeing an option in FCPX which lets you choose the video quality for the preview window. I think the window reduces the quality when playing back for performance reasons and so perhaps that is why it seems to have less quality when moved over to FCPX? Just a possibility, I'm sure one of the more experienced users can confirm or deny this theory.

  • HT1338 I cannot download from the app store Mountain Lion to my MacBook pro 17" why?

    hi I keep getting the message "We could not complete your purchase. OS X Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer." Yet my macBook is from mid 2007. Any surgestions?

    Well if the store is telling you it is not compatable it must be seeing something. As your system is right at the lower edge, mid 2007's are the first modles shown supported. it is possible that you sysm might have been manufactured before the cutoff date.
    Go to About this Mac and  then System Report post all the info for hardware overview except for serial number and uuid.

  • After successfully importing my bookmarks through Firefox Sync from my old to new computer, can I purge the old computer and still have the bookmarks on the new

    I want to upgrade my computer and did a Windows Easy Transfer to my new one. My Firefox bookmarks did not show up on my new computer so I used Firefox Sync-which worked fine. Now that I have the bookmarks on the new computer, can I erase the old computer and still have the bookmarks on the new one.

    First, disconnect your old computer from Firefox Sync so you don't accidentally delete the data from sync, but then yes you should be good to go.

  • Exchange Macbook bought from a different country

    My parents bought my macbook pro from UAE and send it to me here in the Philippines as a gift, but the Keyboard is in arabic. Can I exchange it in local apple shops here for a non-arabic one?

    I think the only way you can possibly know the answer to this for sure is to go to those shops and ask.  Nobody here represents Apple or any store.

  • Does removing a macbook pro from messenger generate an alert on the linked iPhone

    Need to de-link a Macbook Pro from an iPhone, will this generate an alert on the iPhone?

    Hey kbert73
    I would do a transfer of purchases from the phone and not sync. If you sync then it will want to start over and sync music that is on the MacBook Pro. If you want to transfer the music, check out the article below that will give you multiple options on how to move. I have also provided on how to sync with multiple computers.

  • Desktop not restored after disconnecting projector

    I've been using my older G4 PowerBook, running Leopard, for presentations recently. All the projectors I've used are detected properly and the screen resolution is automatically set to match the projector. However, when I disconnect the projector my desktop is not restored properly. The resolution is correct, but all the windows end up smaller and bunched up as if they were still being displayed on the lower resolution of the projector.
    Is there any way to either specify that projectors should always be a separate display or to automatically restore the view I had before connecting the projector?
    Thanks,
    Patrick May

  • Stop the beeps with the 7200 rpm hard disks of the MacBook Pro

    http://www.hardmac.com/news/2009/07/13/stop-the-beeps-with-the-7200-rpm-hard-dis ks-of-the-macbook-pro
    Stop the beeps with the 7200 rpm hard disks of the MacBook Pro
    from HardMac.com by [email protected] (Lionel)
    At the beginning of week, we have spoken about the unpleasant beeps made by the 7200 rpm hard drive proposed as an option in the MacBook Pro 2009.
    A solution has been found, the details are given by Rémy.
    These tedious beeps occur when the disc is inactive and are caused by a system
    to reposition the play-back head carried out in a repetitive way.
    In addition to the beeps of the hard drive, Mac OS X displays the pretty multicoloured wheel during some seconds while waiting for hard drive to finish these loadings and unloadings of the play-back head.
    The solution comes with a utility of the name hdapm (for Hard Disk Advanced Power Management) which makes it possible to change the level of energy management (APM) of the hard drive.
    Hdapm can be downloaded from : http://mckinlay.net.nz/hdapm; hdapm being a command line utility, it is thus necessary to use the Terminal (which is in /Applications/Utilitaires).
    After copying hdapm into your user file, the command to enter is:
    sudo ~/hdapm disk0 max
    disk0 corresponds to the disc to regulate knowing that hdapm should function with any ATA disk supporting APM
    max is the level of APM which is a number ranging between 1 and 254 included
    the word following are preset and can used in the place a number for the level of APM
    max (maximum performance) is the parameter to use to eliminate the “beeps”.
    min (maximum economy of energy)
    default (returns to the default setting)
    The level of APM is a temporary adjustment in the firmware of the hard drive, this adjustment is lost when the disk is powered down and it is thus necessary to redo this at each for each start up.
    To install hdapm so it is launched at each start-up, it is necessary to copy hdapm to the hard drive (/usr/local/bin is advised) and to copy the file hdapm.plist in /Library/LaunchDaemons.
    It will be can be necessary to you to edit hdapm.plist with the desired parameters; the default settings are: the repertory where hdapm is /usr/local/bin, the hard drive is regulated on the first (disk0) and the level of APM is the maximum.
    You can simply copy the file hdapm into /usr/local/bin file if you want to avoid modifying Plist.
    Simplest way to reach these files is to use the Go/go to the file and to copy/paste this address before validating.

    Yeah, I don't buy that. I spoke with Seagate a couple of months ago when I was looking for the impossible to find 500 GB 7200 RPM HD and asked them that very thing. They told me it would work fine, but I should disable SMS. Apple told me the same thing. I ultimately waited and got a non G-Force model, but Seagate told me it would work.
    I also don't believe that they'd OEM the drive to Apple knowing it wouldn't work. That makes absolutely no sense. If Seagate knew the G-Force drive would not function properly in an Apple MacBook/MacBook Pro, and they OEM'd it to Apple for that purpose anyway, what does that say about Seagate?
    I admit it's odd that the used the G-Force model given the presence of SMS, but apparently Seagate has prioritized the manufacturing of the G-Force drives and probably offered it to Apple.

  • C7 breaks down after choosing the resolution for a new project

    Hello Community,
    finally I succeeded in installing C7 on my MacBook Pro with Mavericks 10.9. But it breaks down every time after I choose the resolution for my project. The beachball appears for one second and then C7 breaks down.
    On the same MacBook I can open C7 on another account. But I want to use C7 on my account.
    Has anybody expereienced the same problems?
    Has anybody a solution for my problem?
    Cheers,
    Tom

    Hi there,
    can you please try deleting preferences by using the "CleanPreferencesMac" present in the Captivate installation location/Ultils folder, relaunch Captivate and see it resolves the issue or not.

  • Why is the display on lg 23mp75 different when macbook closed or open?

    When I connect the 2008 Macbook with OS X v 10.9.5 with LG 23mp75 monitor, the display on the monitor doesn't fill up the whole monitor but leaves 1" spaces on the left and right each.  But when I close the Macbook, the display fills up the whole monitor and the resolution is better, just like in Macbook screen itself.  Why is that?

    So check this out:
    http://nyacomputing.com/macbook-get-external-monitor-to-work-with-the-laptop-lid -closed/
    "Note: In some cases, your external display  is not fully utilized when you initially connect your external display, especially in “Mirrored” mode. This is okay if you just plan on using your external display, since the display resolution will scale to full width once the laptop lid is closed. But if you occasionally  plan on using both displays simultaneously then you need to do some tweaking to utilize the full width of the external display."
    So basically you uncheck mirroring.

  • Macbook crash on sleep after disconnection from cinema display

    Hello,
    I bought a black macbook core 2 duo a few months back as a replacement for a 1.5 GHz 12" powerbook G4, and I'm beginning to wonder if I made a terrible mistake as the Macbook frequently crashes on sleep which has caused a major disruption to the way I use my computer.
    My work pattern involves pulling the computer out of its bag and opening it for between a few minutes and a couple of hours, before putting it back to sleep by closing it and shoving it back in its bag again, usually in a hurry, and usually several times each day. If I'm working at my desk, I pull it out of its bag, plug a keyboard, mouse and cinema display into it before waking it in lid-closed mode via the keyboard or mouse. I later sleep it via the power key, before immediately disconnecting the cables and putting it back in its bag.
    The powerbook used to cope with this admirably, sometimes for two months at a stretch between restarts, and always with many applications and windows open. I had learned to expect that when I open the lid of my computer everything is there just as I left it, and more importantly that I didn't need to worry about saving everything before closing the lid.
    The Macbook frequently crashes on sleep (regardless of whether I close the lid, use the key or menu or leave it until it sleeps itself), and have I narrowed it down to something that usually happens on one of the first few sleeps after I disconnect the cinema display. The macbook's backlight goes out on sleep but the display does not switch off (it can be seen, frozen as it was, if a light is shone on the display) nor the hard disk spin down, and the only response of any sort I can get is I can switch the white LED on and off by opening and closing the lid. This behaviour has always been the same regardless of whether safe sleep is enabled or not, although I have disabled safe sleep as I do not have the time or inclination to sit around waiting for 15 seconds for the disk to stop spinning each time I close the lid.
    My question is, is there something wrong with my computer or is this normal for Macbooks where an external display is used? And if it is normal for macbooks is it something that is likely to resolve itself with future MacOs or firmware updates, or is it more fundamental than that?

    Hello again,
    It is hard to suggest something to do in this case, since intermittent issues are really difficult to diagnose. If I were you, I might try doing an Archive and Install from the install dvd that came with your macbook, as well as verifying the drive using Disk Utility on the install dvd. These are just suggestions and I don't know if they will change anything, but at least Apple may get more info out of knowing these were done to try and resolve the issue. If Archiving and Installing doesn't fix the problem (an OS software problem) and disk utility doesn't report any problems, it most likely warrants a trip to Apple. You definitely shouldn't have to put up with worrying about whether your computer will work or not every time you close the lid.

  • Macbook Pro dark screen after disconnecting from Cinema Display

    Dear all,
    the issue I am having:
    - after disconnecting from Cinema display (having first put my Macbook Pro in "sleep" mode) I just ca't make the Macbook pro scren show anything....black display
    - but is it really asleep? NO!!! It just STILL believes it's connected to the Cinema Display
    That's what I though was happening, so I thought: "if I now plug in the thunderbolt-to-VGA dongle that I use for the videoprojector then the screen might come back... and.... Voilá! It comes back, BUT starts flickering until in the end it just dissappears....
    I can reproduce the error all the time. Worse than that: a reboot does not help at all.
    Looks like there is an internal hardware switch that must be left "engaged" and then the Mac just believes it is connected to an External screen and sends the signal though the thuderbolt port instead of through the screen!!!
    WEIRD error/bug or whatever!!
    I have no idea how to make this reach the Apple guys.... I tried to report a Bug but they asked me to join in as Apple developer which I just can't do (for working issues).
    Can anyone tell me if they have had this problem, and whether Apple is taking care of it?
    (this reminds me of an issue with an internal switch with the headphones in my old MacBook Pro.... after disconnecting the headphones, the internal switch was not being disengaged, so sound would NEVER come out as it was being sent to the headphones instead of to the speakers... Same problem here but with the Image??? :-((( )

    Sometimes I experience the same after disconnecting my 24" display (in seldom cases, the mouse cursor is not painted correctly, as well).
    Can you check - when it happens - if in System Profiler > Hardware > Graphic > Quartz Extreme is listed as 'supported'. I found it to be 'not supported' when the scrolling and display behaves strangly. Also the Menu Bar is not transparent any more.
    Next to rebooting, logout and login again fixed the issue for me. But I am also looking for a better fix/explanation.
