Is it possible to MANUALLY change Display Resolution (screen size) HELP!!

Forgive me if this has been covered already, but I have tried to look here and
there for an answer
My screen for my iMac-G4 blew out long ago, I had a another screen (a Dell CRT-
flatscreen) hooked up and IT blew out a few days ago, I just bought an LCD
flat screen, but it needs a 1680 x 1050 resolution (WIDE screen(?)and my
iMac-G4 only goes to 1024 x 768 in the "Display" controls. So all my desktop
images are "scrunched" or "stretched".
So is there a "MANUAL" way of configuring the screen size to a "standard"
size within this Mac? or do I need to find a standard size screen?
. . . HELP!!!
You can also write me (preferably at) at:
[email protected]
I VERY MUCH appreciate any help- please realize too, that I am an IDIOT when it
comes to computers, I just paint on this thing (as part of my job as a freelancer
on the side), and WAS in the middle of a job for a client
Thanks again,

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Apple limited the graphics cards in iMac G4s to the native resolution of the built-in LCD i.e:
15" iMac G4 - 1024 x 768
17" iMac G4 - 1440 x 900
20" iMac G4 - 1680 x 1050.
Even when connecting a second display this could only mirror the internal at the same resolution. For the following iMac G4's it's possible to install a firmware hack to open up the full capabilities of the graphics cards:
17" 800MHz
17" 1GHz
15" 1GHz
17" 1.25GHz
20" 1.25GHz
using an application called Screen Spanning Doctor. This is risky but I guess you haven't got much to lose at this point. I've only ever heard of one Mac user actually failing to do the process right though.
You can always use Firewire Target Disk Mode to recover you client's files to another Mac.
I'd be interested if SwitchResX works too. I only have external displays much smaller than my iMacs so can't test it from that perspective.

HT1212 my iphone screen is broken and i need to access it through itunes but my phone is locked. it cannot be unlocked on the screen but is there any way i can do it on itunes?

my iphone screen is broken and i need to access it through itunes but my phone is locked. it cannot be unlocked on the screen but is there any way i can do it on itunes so i can access it?

Depends, if you've synced with this iTunes, while that passcode was enabled, you won't be prompted to enter the passcode when connecting your phone. If you have not synced, while that passcode was enabled, you will. So, if you fall in the later, there is no way to do what you want.

Cannot display the screen of the macbook on TV. OS is Lion 10.7.2. Connection to the TV is over HDMI cable. TV shows only the backgroud picture of Lion. Do you have any suggestions for help ?

Cannot display the screen of my macbook on TV. OS is Lion 10.7.2. The Macbook is connected to the TV is over HDMI cable. TV shows only the backgroud picture of the Lion OS and reacts even to mission control. Do you have any suggestions for help ?

You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV 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 Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box.

Hi everyone, my Iphone 3gs cannot display the screen item once you lock it and and you wanna unlock it back.

Help with installing OSX Lion on iMac with broken display

Hi,
Having some trouble installing OSX Lion on my 5 year old iMac which has a broken display.
The display has been dead for a couple of years now and I've been using an external monitor without any problems. Today I decided to upgrade to Lion - I downloaded the installer from the App Store and started the install which rebooted the machine. After reboot I'm presented with a grey 'thatched' background image on the external display and nothing else, no menu bar, installation menu etc.
I presume the internal display is showing the menu I need but I can't see it as that screen is broken. Is there a way to turn on mirroring during the install process so I can use my external display? I've tried various shortcuts held down during startup - OPTION-F14, CMD-F1, CMD-F2 - but none have worked.
If this isn't possible, is there a way to abort the Lion install process and go back to using my Snow Leopard install? Whenever I boot the machine I am taken to the OS X Lion installer and don't know how to get back to my Snow Leopard install. I tried holding down OPTION key on startup to choose the list of available OS installs, but again, the internal display is being used so I can't see what to do.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Genius idea, thank you. Was able to step through the install procedure using voiceover and the screenshots on this page http://www.macstories.net/mac/os-x-lion-installation-guide-boot-discs-and-qa/
Definitely a first for me, installing an OS with voice only

IPhone5s stuck in recovery mode after lots of times displaying blue screen of death, cannot restore it as iTunes displays error 14 on verification, same time phone crashes again with blue screen.

hi, my iPhone5s is only 3 months old, it has been like a whole month now since it started crashing, displaying the blue screen of death, since yesterday it was in the loop of restart-crash, and now it is stuck in recovery mode after lots of times displaying blue screen.
I cannot restore it as phone continues crashing again with blue screen, when iTunes displays error 14 on verification.
help please, this phone is all the means of communication I have.

It's a hardware problem. That's it. You shouldn't bother yourself with this situation. Just see an AASP.

Connect iPhone to iTunes with broken display screen

My iPhone has a broken display screen and I can't connect with my iTunes because it says I have to log into my phone. I can't log into my phone because it is not working. I tried pressing the home button and then acting out the motions of entering my password, but nothing is happening. I have my replacement phone and I'm trying to reset my broken phone, but I can''t do that until I log into iTunes. If someone can advise me on what to do, it will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. By the way, I am doing this on a PC computer.

Try putting the phone in DFU mode and then doing the restore. This article should help.

If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for the original owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. No must contact the original owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the original owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

Disconnect the iPad, do a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!, reconnect and follow the prompts.
If that does not work then see here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

I used to have an icon on my menu bar at the top of my screen to help me detect displays (monitors) It has disappeared and I don't know how to get it back. Does anyone know?

Your's may look more like this...
...if you're running Mountain Lion. I'm in clamshell mode right now, so I don't have any mirroring options. AFAIK, there's no more "Show displays in menu bar" in Mountain Lion.

Using my MacBook with a broken display on my tv please help!

My MacBook Pro has a broken display. I want to use it on my tv but when I plug it in using an hdmi I cable all I get on my tv is my wallpaper. I have read that I need to take my macbook out of extended desktop mode to actually use it this way but I obviously can't. Can Apple wirelessly do this? I don't feel like spending 20 dollars to schedule a call if they can't.

Nothing's happening just the click of my volume going down. Pretty frustrating I can see my cursor on the screen and everything do you know if they can do it at the apple store?
You're holding down the fn key and then pressing F11 at the same time?

How do I get online help to display full screen when opened?

I'm working in RoboHelp HTML 8 developing
WebHelp. My client wants the help to display full screen (100%) when it's
opened.
How do I accomplish this?
Thanks

If your just opening the html file from a link within your site, then you could code the link to open in a new window at full size. This is not done through RH, but instead on the site where its linking to your webhelp index.html page. Its relatively simple, and you can customise things like viewable buttons, scroll bars etc etc.

Sometimes my ipod gen 5 display white screen when i choose to see a photo , was it broken ?

Sometimes my ipod gen 5 display white screen when i choose to see a photo , was it broken ?

Likely a corrupted photo file:
Try:
- Importing the proplem photos to your computer and viewing them
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Backup and then restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

yesterday i connect my iPhone with iTunes then one MSG displayed on screen about backup i ignore that but same time i have lost all my installed apps incouled my pics and vids from my iPhone pls help me.

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
