Can Anyone Explain Why Using the Hightest (Native) Resolution is Preferred?
I have an '06 iMac with a 20" screen, my top resolution is 1680 x 1050, but when I try using it, yes I can "fit more on the screen", but the type is tiny, tiny, tiny, (& I can't seem to figure out how to enlarge it outside of my browsers. How do people function with microscopically small type? I have been using 1280 x 800, but am now trying 1344 x 840...
The main issue I think occurs by using the lower resolution is that my message formatting, both via Mail & when posting stuff on line, ends up all skewed, sentences break off where they shouldn't etc., as if there is some default margin that is forcing all my copy to conform to, except when I'm writing it.
Modern monitors have a fixed amount of pixels, in your case, 1680x1050 pixels. If you start sending it a signal in 1280x800 pixels, the monitor itself has to scale it up to 1680x1050 pixels in order to fit it on the screen.
You can't cleanly divide 1680 by 1280, this means that the scaled up pixels won't all be the same size. Some pixels will be wider than others.
Most people (including me) find that using a non-native resolution just looks messy.
I do agree with you that the size of everything on the screen should not be coupled to the resolution you're using on that screen. This would solve a LOT of accessibility problems for people with less than perfect eyesight.
Backwards compatibility with a lot of application frameworks and other technical things I won't get in to makes doing this very difficult (it will work for some applications, but not all, especially not older applications).

My ipod 60gb classic is showing as fully charged until I connect it to my pc when it comes up with the error message, 'please wait very low battery' and the little wheel goes round and nothing happens, can anyone explain why this is and what i can do?
I have worked my way through the assistant and nothing works. I have tried connecting in disc mode but although the screen on the ipod is showing that the device is charged and that it is in disc mode as soon as I connect it to the computer it comes up with the error message 'please wait very low battery' and stays like that until I disconnect when it appears to be OK again. I have tried on both pc and mac.
BTW the ipod is an ipod video not classic if that makes any difference.

Can anyone explain why on my iPhone 4S, whenever I play music, it won't hold my place in the song? I pause it, and then when I go back later, it's all the way back at the beginning? A google search was not very helpful, any tips would be great!

My wife, daughter and I have iPhones with iMessage and Send Read Receipts activated. All the messages sent between the three of us are blue however, when my wife messages me, the message appears in green on her iPhone. Can anyone explain why.
Because some kind of error occured. This is only from her iPhone to your iPhone? Whenever she sends a message to any other iPhone, it is sent as blue? And when anyone else sends you a message from an iPhone, it sends as blue?

My G4 desktop won't cold start. I have to plug in to the outlet for about 15 minutes every time. Can anyone explain why? Otherwise, the desktop runs fine.
The battery is new, and I zapped the little button on the main board once. I've noticed that the power supply plug is a little longer than the usual one for G4, and the AGP slot has an extra slot, which is black and about half inch long.Hi Ursula,
the AGP slot has an extra slot, which is black and about half inch long.
I believe that is for ADC Monitor power if you had one, or a card with ADC, like the little tab on this one...
I think your startup problem is bad capacitors in the power supply or on the logic board, and the need to bleed off their charge before they work right to start. -

I just bought a second hand iPhone 5, but the sim tray seems to be for a sim sized ~14x8mm, thinner but longer than a nano SIM (~12x9mm). Can anyone explain why, and how to get a SIM to fit?
You would have to ask the person you bought the phone from to explain why.

Can anyone explain why all of my Spry Assets on a live website have suddenly stopped working?
Can anyone explain why all of my Spry Assets on a live website have stopped responding? I have checked that the Spry CSS and JS files are in place. Then checked the files on Dreamweavers live view and they are not working there either. It was fine a few weeks ago, it is almost as if the web browsers have stopped rending Spry, for example, the links for the collapsible panels are not even being recognised as links.
I am using 'old' spry assets on Dreamweaver CS4 (if that makes a difference). The Spry Assets used are Tabbed Panels and Collapsible Panels.
Thanks for your help.Something has been going on, when I look at the bottom of your document (as pasted below), this is normally all at the top after the links to external style sheets.

I had to rebuild a computer. When I got iTunes installed and tried to sync my iPod it said that I had reached my limit of five computers. I logged into my iTunes account and went through the process for deauthorizing all computers. It comes up with a messaging asking if I am sure I want to deauthorize all computer and I select the "Deauthorize computers" button. It never comes back with a message one way or another whether it was successful. When I get out of that screen and come back in, it still shows that I have 5 authorized computers. I can't sync my iPod. The deauthorization is not working. Can anyone explain why this is happening?
i guess no one helped? I'm having the same problem.
When i press the button to deauthorize all computers, i get an error saying 'my account can't process this at this time. please try again later' -
Can anyone explain why when I signed up to BT broadband some 4 years ago the estimated line speed I would get was estimated at 3.5Mbps (I was actually getting between 1 and 2 and every so often 2.5). Recently I've noticed a drop in speed, last week the estimated line speed was 1Mbps and now this week it is 0.512Mbps! Has this happened to anyone else?
In the last few weeks I have been suffering from dropped connection but it now seems stable. I did the bt speedtest and got the following
Download speedachieved during the test was - 463 Kbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 50-500 Kbps.
Additional Information:
Your DSL Connection Rate :1024 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 224 Kbps(UP-STREAM)

Any advice would be appreciated.Yes for me and is happening to alot of people just check out threads on this forum.
I have been told by Bt open reach who came out to me, it is Bt doing this, and showed me evidence on the laptop to his computer connected to my master socket.
I quote " People sitting in India at computers messing about with peoples connections this is my 3rd callout to a property this week (week begining 14/06/2010) for the same problem you are fine this end its the exchange".
He added that I should state what he said. It may be worth hanging around for a moderator to contact you keep checking your thread, it would appear they are helpful, certainly alot less stressful than phoning India and chasing your tail. Still trying to get this sorted even got released only 1 month in 18month contract with no charge. However you do have to follow there complaint procedure which is not easy.
Hope you get sorted soon.

Can anyone explain why I have a big chunk of memory (4.4GB) taking up space on my iPhone4?
can anyone explain why I have a big chunk of memory (4.4GB) taking up space on my iPhone4?
Because there is a big chunk of files in that section that take up space. Kind of a "duh" question.
Now if there is something specific you'd like to ask in an intelligent way, maybe reword the question or try a search.
We simply cannot help if you cannot clearly communicate the issue. -

I have a .avi file that is not playing. It keeps telling me additional software is needed. I have Mac OS X 10.6.8. Can anyone explain why?
Because there's no codec installed on your system for that specific AVI, and there may be no Mac OS X component for it. Try installing Perian.
