Applescript mirrors display and resolution

Hi,
I have many problems with Mavericks and external monitor resolution (it's a projector, in 1024x768).
I can't see the 1024x768 resolution for the external monitor (I see only 1280x... and 800x600). I need to hold ALT and click to scaled.
For this problem and others, i search a Applescript for :
active Mirrors Displays (if the checkbox is not already checked)
set resolution 1024x768
My computers are in Mavericks.
It is possible?
Thanks
PS : excuse me for my bad english

Can you share the type? Model, type etc.

  • Help Scripting "Mirror displays" and resolution

    HI there,
    I work in a situation where it would be super helpful to have a script that runs at login that sets the resolution to a specific resolution and even more awesome if the script could make them "mirror displays" as well.
    Any help would be so GREATLY appreciated!?!?!?!

    Mirror Display means just that. It puts what's on the MacBook to the Samsung's screen including the macBook's resolution. In System Preferences>Display there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the Samsung and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen. You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetoothkeyboard and mouse.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.

  • Messed up color display and resolution because of mini-DVI to video adapter

    Once I connected the mini-DVI to video adapter to the tv and got weird colors on my screen for a while but then it worked out, then after a while I disconnected the cable and turned my computer off. After that, everytime I turned my macbook on, the color is fine for two seconds and then it turns into a weird offset color, really bright colors, kinda sketchy and just a few colors, and a weird resolution and display obviously, but then I just connect my Mini-DVI to video adapter and disconnect it again (quickly) and the color returns to normal. How can I make the normal colors stay and not have to connect the mini-DVI to video adapater everytime I want to see the normal color display and resolution??
    please help!

    Open the Universal Access pane of System Preferences, click on Seeing, turn off the White on Black, VoiceOver, and Zoom options, and drag the Contrast slider all the way to the left. If the issue persists, create a new folder on the desktop, drag half of the items from the Library/Preferences/ folder of the item in the Finder's sidebar with the house icon into it, and narrow down the files until you've isolated the one responsible.

  • Mirror Displays not working

    After recently purchasing a new LCD television, I noticed the composite video out from my MacBook was not ideal - there were two sets of wavy horizontal lines.
    I then bought a mini DVI to VGA adapter to use with the television's VGA input, which produced a much higher quality output, free of the horizontal lines.
    The problem I have encountered is that I can only mirror the displays, not use different resolutions as I could with video out. I noticed some strange irregularities when changing resolutions. When attempting to uncheck "Mirror Displays" and perform some other tasks in the "LCDTV" window, there is a beep and then nothing happens. The "Mirror Displays" checkbox remains unchecked but no action is taken.
    I am using Leopard, version 10.5.1. Is it possible that the problem is attributed to the LCD television? Is there any way to diagnose what the problem is?
    Thanks.

    I assume you specified the screen in vlc's video preferences and that screen is enabled when you play the video.  I'm guessing it's probably a bug (yet another bug) in vlc 2.x which I also assume you are using.  I long since gave up on vlc 2.x and stuck with vlc 1.1.12 which never has problems selecting my desired screen for full screen display (my TV).
    I suggest you look at and possibly post this problem to the vlc mac forum.

  • Prevent Retina iMac defaulting to 'mirror displays'

    Hello! I have a Retina iMac (Yosemite) connected by Thunderbolt>HDMI adapter and HDMI cable to a Samsung 32" TV. How can I stop the iMac defaulting on start-up to 'mirror displays' (forcing it to a low resolution) despite deselecting 'mirroring' in display preferences? I will never use mirror displays and only ever need an extended desktop. Many thanks in advance

    I just thought I'd answer my own question here, in case it is of any help to anyone!
    I realised my iMac is just within the three-month Apple Care telephone support period, so I rang them up, and they were terribly helpful. We went through a number of elimination processes, and eventually the "don't mirror displays" preference was finally remembered by deleting the com.apple.systempreferences.plist file.
    However, this was not actually the cure - one of the the processes we did to eliminate certain things was to set up a test account in addition to my own account. After doing this, naturally we had to disable auto login.
    So after the euphoria of fixing the problem by deleting the .plist file, I hung up and deleted the test account and re-enabled auto login. And the problem returned!
    So the problem actually lies within enabling Auto Login....so for the time being, I will leave it disabled. If anyone has an answer as to why this may be, I'd be ever so grateful to hear from you, as my dream scenario would be to re-enable it!

  • Mirrored Display. How to sleep MBP display without closing LID to keep the machine vented?

    I just got my hands on a 15" MBP and I currently have a third party Display that I have connected to my Display output port. Mirrored display, and tried the clamshell mode but machine got quite hot by running in it that way. I was wondering if there is any way to keep the lid open while the mirrored mode on the external Display still runs?
    Also, if there are any third party software that does give me flexibility as to which display to sleep and such, and at least have control over the display output options, that would be a gem. Appreciate it if anyone has that info?
    Thanks a lot for taking time to help! Happy holiday and a great year to come for all!
    Miles of smiles,
    Jimbo

    Captfred,
    I've tried what the article suggests but it only seems to work if you want to wake the computer when it is sleeping or the screen saver is on.
    What I am trying to find out is how to start the computer when it is turned off without having to open it. I would imagine that there would be some key combination on the keyboard or perhaps a way to program the on/off button on the side of the Apple external display to do that.
    Any ideas ?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Display mirroring and resolution

    Hi,
    I'm trying to set up my macbook for presentations using an apple vga adaptor. When I plug into an external monitor, everything behaves as I expect until I switch ON mirroring. When I do this the macbook screen becomes square (even though the resolution is set to 1280 x 800), with large black edges.
    Any thoughts?

    Hi stu19,
    taken from the Video Developer Note found here: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Hardware/Conceptual/HWTechVideo/Articles/Video_implementation.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40003994-SW741200331181
    *External Display Modes*
    The computer supports two external display modes: video mirroring and extended desktop. The default is extended desktop mode. To toggle between the two modes, use the Displays pane in System Preferences.
    *Extended Desktop Mode*
    In extended desktop mode, the resolution of the two displays can be set independently. In this mode, the maximum external display resolution supported by the MacBook is 2048 x 1536 at 60 Hz for analog displays and 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz for digital displays.
    *Video Mirroring Mode*
    In mirroring mode, a single resolution is used for both displays. The highest resolution possible is the native resolution of the internal display (1280 x 800). If the external display can support a higher resolution than the internal display, that higher resolution is unused in mirroring mode.
    *If the external display cannot support the full resolution of the internal display, the lower resolution is used for both displays.* A suitable resolution for both displays should be chosen in the Displays pane of System Preferences.
    *Scaling and Black Borders*
    In either extended desktop or video mirroring mode, choosing a lower resolution than a display supports results in scaling up the image, if possible. Depending on the supported resolutions, aspect ratios, and refresh rates of the two displays, the scaled image may not fill the screen of one display, in which case the image on that display has black borders. This black border typically occurs when the resolution chosen has a different aspect ratio than the display. It does not occur on CRT displays.
    Hope it helps

  • Resolution Problems with 30-inch Apple Display and my new iMac

    I'm not very good at computers, so I could use some help. I just bought a new iMac 24-inch, 3.06 Duo and I have an Apple 30-inch display I had connected to my MacBook Pro. Now I can't get a resolution better than 1280x800 and the cinema screen flickers a bit. I bought a mini-DVI to Dvi Adaptor. What else am I doing wrong? The display is enormous on the cinema display and I need to use that for my photography. Help anyone, please?

    i'm not sure if you area sking this... but it seems like the info about the iMac is not to do with the problem, but your problem is with the 30 inch screen and the macbookPro?
    If you are asking about a macbookPro plugging into the 30 inch screen, these should be able to run full resolution from what i remember,
    you need to check that you are NOT trying to run mirrored desktop as this will limit the resolution to the maximum possible of the smaller display (your macbookpro) which will mean you can only go up to 1280x800 but if you uncheck the 'mirror display' option you should be able to set independent settings for each screen.

  • I want to connect my IMAC to TV with HDMI cable. I did it before going to Dispaly and Arrangments and then mirror. Now when I go to display I dont have to option of arrangements. Olny {Display and Color} pops up. Any ideas what happend to arrengements?

    For the "Arangements" option to appear, the external display must be turned on with the correct input selected and connected to the computer.  Then close system prefs, reopen, go to "Display" and "Arrangement" will be along the top. 

  • Turn off display mirroring once and for all ?

    Hi there,
    I have a 13'' macbook pro, recently upgraded to Snow Leopard. Now every time I connect my external screen (a DELL E198WFP connected with the DVI output) the display starts in "mirroring" mode. I have to manually turn mirroring off every time. According to the documentation, MacOS is supposed to "remember" my settings the next time I connect the screen but it doesn't work. Previously I had a Macbook Air with Leopard and I had not this issue (the screen would start with mirroring turned off when I connect it). Is there any possibility to disable mirroring once and for all, as I never use this feature ? Thanks

    Ok since you upgraded your system you might have a issue with your preference files for the displays. you need to Delete these two files reboot and Zap your PRAM. (Print this out)
    #1. Delete these files:
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver and ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.windowserver"
    #2. Turn off Computer
    #3. Reset your PRAM by:
    (From Apples instruction page)
    Resetting PRAM and NVRAM
    Shut down the computer.
    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. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • Exporting photos for UHDTV or Native 4K TV, what are the best settings ? (File: Quality File: Color Space, Image Sizing and resolution)   Or in other words; How can I get the smallest files but keep good quality for display on new UHDTV

    Exporting photos for UHDTV or Native 4K TV, what are the best settings ? (File: Quality File: Color Space, Image Sizing and resolution)   Or in other words; How can I get the smallest files but keep good quality for display on new UHDTV

    You're welcome, and thank you for the reply.
    2) Yesterday I made the subclips with the In-Out Points and Command-U, the benefit is that I've seen the clip before naming it. Now I'm using markers, it's benefit is that I can write comment and (the later) clip name at once, the drawback is that I have to view to the next shot's beginning before knowing what the shot contains.
    But now I found out that I can reconnect my clips independently to the format I converted the master clip to. I reconnected the media to the original AVI file and it worked, too! The more I work with, the more I'm sold on it... - although it doesn't seem to be able to read and use the date information within the DV AVI.
    1) Ok, I tried something similar within FCE. Just worked, but the file size still remains. Which codec settings should I use? Is the export to DV in MOV with a quality of 75% acceptable for both file size and quality? Or would be encoding as H.264 with best quality an option for archiving, knowing that I have to convert it back to DV if I (maybe) wan't to use it for editing later? Or anything else?
    Thank's in advance again,

  • Help please. Extended display won't work on MBP and AOC 20" 1600 x 900  60HZ monitor. Mirror display does. I've a mini dvd to vga converter cable. Should this work?

    Help please. Extended display won't work on MBP and AOC 20" 1600 x 900  60HZ monitor. Mirror display does. I've a mini dvd to vga converter cable. Should this work?

    I have the same mini display port adapter and Belkin DVI-HDMI cable (but a Panasonic 42" Plasma HDTV) so just set this up on it to see if I could duplicate your problem, unfortunately for you (but good for me) I can't.
    I connected the adapter+HDMI cable before switching the HDTV on and then powered up the MBP. It (the HDTV) came up with my background right away (it's set at Mirror not extended Desktop) and when I run System Preferences/Displays get the following. Sorry but all I can confirm is that adapter+cable combination should work ...
    Try doing a Parameter RAM reset - hold down command/option/p/r keys at start up and wait for three chimes before releasing the keys?

  • Is it possible the current Mac Mini 2.7 Ghz i7 with two full-resolution displays and Thunderbolt operate?

    On Second thoughts...
    I don't really know how well Logic Express 7 performs on the Mac Mini because I have not yet had the chance to experience the two together. Don't let that put you off the idea though! From my understanding of the system requirements printed on the Logic Express homepage, it states that a G4 or faster system is required, however Apple personally recommend a Dual G4 or G5 is recommended alongside a minimum of 512MB of Ram. This Does mean that Logic Express will run on the Mac Mini but you will most probably find it lags when moving samples in real time and rendering them onto your hard drive. If you really want to enjoy making "serious" music on the Mac then you really need to be looking at the iMac G5 or the iMac Core Duo (Intel) purely for your tempers sake. As for an Intel Mac Mini, there is no indication as to when we will be seeing one on the market and therefore you may find yourself on the fence between keeping your fixed budget and holding on a little or jumping in and getting on the right road to a digital musical life - mac style.
    Maybe this will inspire your decision:

  • Selecting display screen and resolution for L540 and other thinkpads ?

    What is the difference between different types of displays : 15.6 " TFT HD (1366 X 768), 15.6 " FHD (1920 X 1080), 15.6 " HDD (1366 X 768) ? I am planning to purchase a 15.6 " Thinkpad but I am not able to decide which type of display to get. FHD display costs $170 extra, and how much the pixel density will affect the screen resolution in 15.6" ? I know in 15.6" screen, 1366X768 will have a PPI of around 101, around how much PPI we need generally ? I am going to use laptop for work purpose, coding, deveopment etc. I am not a gamer and will play and watch movie ocassionaly. So, what type of display will suit me ? Any help will be deeply appreciated.
    Thanks

    If you are doing desktop publishing, and use a clear plastic ruler to take measurements off the screen, a 19" (18" viewable) ideal resolution at 72 dots/inch and 4:3 aspect ratio yields 1036 by 784 pixels, which is never supported. The closest one down from that is 1024 by 768, adjusted to a picture width of 14.2 inches by height of 10.6 inches. this will give you a really good "what you see is what you get" display, and can save you time and trouble.
    That said, it seems nowadays that folks Not doing desktop publishing set them to the highest resolution possible, and then increase the default browser text size until they can read it. If you choose not to maintain a 4:3 aspect ratio (4x number of pixels horizontal to 3x number of pixels vertical) you will have to live with whatever distortion is introduced into your work, including movies and pictures of real-world objects from the Web.
    Tests show that refresh rates above 75 Hz reduce flickering for almost everyone, but that there is wide person-to-person variability below that rate. So set it to 75 Hz or higher, if your display supports it.
    In any case, the highest refresh rate that works with your display without making high-pitched whining noises or getting really hot will reduce eyestrain. The reduction in system performance from higher refresh rates is truly negligible, as long as your display hardware has VRAM (and the Blue & White has 16 MB on the default display card).
