Cant get any widescreen resolutions using a MDP - VGA adpater

I recently purchased an Official Apple Mini-display port to VGA adpter for use with 2011 unibody MacBook Pro and Samsung Syncmaster 2232 BW external monitor. When plugging everything in and going into displays, I am presented with the attatched display,
with no option for any 16:10 resolutions, everything non widescreen down from 1600 x 1200. I've tried SwitchResX with no avail, and don't know what else to try? This is my monitor and its Native settings are 1680 x 1050
Any suggestions?

I have resolved this problem, and will explain how for the sake of anyone else who enctounters it.
Instal SwitchResX, create a Custom Resolution with the exact same settings as the MacBook's 1680 x 1050 display mode, save and apply it (will need restart) . You can then Uninstall SwitchResX, and the custom resolution shall remain stored in the System Preferences > Display. This is good as you don't need to purchase SwitchResX, you can just use the 10 day trial, however if you need the other facilities of the program I would recommend you support the developers.
Hope this helps others out who get stuck with the same annoying problem!

If Join was on then your home wi-fi must be set to Non-Broadcast. If you did not set this up (maybe your provider did) then you will need to find the Network Name they used, and any password they used. The SSID is Security Set ID and to see more try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSID . Basically it is the name used to identify your router/network. A lot of times the installer will leave it set as LinkSys, or Broadcom or whatever the manufacturer set it as for default. Your best bet is to get whoever installed it to walk you through how they set it up, giving you id's and passwords so you can get in. HOWEVER, if you are not comfortable with this (if you set security wrong, etc.) you would be well ahead of the game to hire a local computer tech (networking) to get this working for you. You can also contact the vendor of your router and get help (if it is still in warranty), or at least get copies of the manuals as pdf files. Sorry I can't give you more help, I hope this gives you an idea where to go from here to find more.

Satellite Pro L40 - I cant get any software download

I have had to use the Toshiba Product recovery disc but now I cant get any software download, everytime I try all I get is Unknown Publisher!!!
Can anyone help or advise me what I can do to fix this problem, Thanx

Hi!
To be honest I dont know what you mean.
What software do you try to download and where do you download them? What OS do you have?
Can you post a screenshot or something else?
I dont know what internet browser do you use but I use always Firefox and never had problems with this browser.

I migrated a user from another mac and cant get any updates to install!

Hi
I migrated a user from another mac and cant get any updates to install, for example it says iPhoto is intalled but its not, i never copied it from the older imac, and i cant download it to this one now
any help appreciated

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Your only option at this point is to connect the device to a computer running iTunes so you can restore it.

You'll probably have more luck with your issue if you ask in the QuickTime for Windows forum. Good luck.

Possibly, but jailbroken devices aren't supported by Apple or these forums.

Hi Guys, My iPhone is stuck in a mode where it thinks the headset is still plugged in. I cant get any sounds through the speaker. Cant hear sms or emails arrive. If the phone rings i hear it but pple cant hear me or i cant hear them. The phone works f

Hi Guys,
My iPhone is stuck in a mode where it thinks the headset is still plugged in.
I cant get any sounds through the speaker. Cant hear sms or emails arrive. If the phone rings i hear it but pple cant hear me or i cant hear them.
The phone works fine with the headphones plugged in.
I have tried all the usual solutions, inserted and removed the headset (at least 50 times)
Soft reboot
full restore
Nothing seems to work. I have searched on this and it seems to be a well know issue but there doesnt seem to be any firm solutions that i can find to fix the problem

If no change after inserting and removing the headset at least 50 times, powering the iPhone off and on, an iPhone reset, and restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.

I cant get any pop ups to open? i have allowed sites and still cant get anything, so turned off and still cant enlarge pictures etc thru a pop window

i have firefox version 3.6.10, and until about a week ago, i had no problems clicking on pictures (example: on ebay) to enlarge them in a new pop window. i have tried disabling the pop up blocker completely, even though i had ebay as an "allow" site on my pop up blocker when it was enabled.
cant get any pop up to go through. in the lower left hand corner of the window, when i click on a link that should open a pop up window, all it shows is "javascript:;" and nothing happens
i have updated to the newest version of java and deleted older version.. still having issues

Ouch, tough spot, but offhand I'd say some memory may have gone bad, or maybe just needs re-seating after all this time.
Not much you can do, but try this anyway...

In fact, do 3 in a row, takes a bit of time.
