Change resolution for portrait mode.

Hello guys!
I've met a problem about resolution aspect ratio on my Mac. Please help.
Mac: Mac Book Air 2013-Mid (11 inches, Core i5, 4GB RAM, 256GB SSD)
OS: Mavericks (10.9.3)
Monitor: GeChic On-Lap 1302 for Mac (using MiniDisplayPort cable.)
Phenomenon:
In monitor setting screen, I rotated 270 or 90 degrees to use this monitor as portrait mode. But it displays weird as the photo below.
My MBA tries to display it as landscape mode, and there are big black dead space on upper and lower.
I just want it to display portrait mode without the dead spaces.
I tried some things so far as below to research.
1) SMC reset == No effect
2) Cram shell mode (use this external monitor as primary and disable Mac's own monitor) == Displays Nice without dead space. (But it can't be a solution because I need to use Mac's own monitor.)
3) In Apple store, use Mountain Lion with network boot == Displays Nice as Dual monitor.
4) In Apple store, use other Mac Book Air 2013-Mid (13 inches) with Yosemite == Same phenomenon.
5) Cabling with MiniDP to VGA converter and monitor's VGA cable == Displays nice. (But I don't want to use VGA cable because of image quality..)
6) In display setting screen, click "Resolution: scaled" radio button with "Option" key == No properly resolutions isn't shown.
7) In "Mission Control" setting screen, check off "Displays have separate Spaces" == No effect.
Today, I brought it to Apple store and discussed with Apple technician, but we couldn't solve this issue at last.
Are there anyone who met same problem? and solved? If so, please give any advices. Anything (such like Command line or any other thing) is OK.
Thanks!

I do though hesitate to rotate the whole body of the machine. Functioning vertically may not be the best of things to do. At least back 10 years ago, and I don't know if it is true now, shifting the drive from the position it was formatted in relative to gravity to a different one for use without reformatting it can shorten the length of the hard drive. This was the case with the drives on some PowerMac 6500s which were formatted vertically and placed horizontally elsewhere.
Whether or not you can do that with notebook drives regularly, remains to be seen. I'd say it would be better to get an external display that supports the rotation.

Rotate display for portrait mode?

I'd like to rotate the display orientation on my 15" MBP so that I can read documents in portrait mode while holding the laptop sideways. I found some tips instructing me to hold the option key down while selecting the displays pane in system preferences but that doesn't seem to work.
I found SMSRotateD which is a little demo that rotates the display using the sudden motion sensor:
http://www.osxbook.com/software/sms/smsrotated/
It does successfully rotate the display 90 degrees, but it works erratically and won't stay in one orientation for long. I'd rather do this without the SMS. Can anyone tell me how?

Author for portrait mode?

I plan to hang a 42" LCD in the front window of my coffeehouse to promote our live jazz nights, gourmet coffee specials, and the like. I'd like to use Keynote but am unclear of any easy way to author for an LCD monitor hanging in a portrait mode (i.e rotated 90 degrees clockwise from normal.)
Any ideas on how to do this other than just do everything in keynote sideways?
G5 2x1.8 & 13" MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

What machine will drive the LCD? In OS X 10.4, many machines have an option in the System Preferences, in Displays, to rotate the display. What I would suggest doing is setting up your Keynote presentation at the horizontal and vertical dimensions that it will actually be displayed in (once the LCD is rotated), and create/edit the presentation in that fashion. When it comes to show the presentation, on the machine that drives the LCD go into the System Preferences, in Displays, and set the display to rotate 90 degrees.

Changing resolution for vizio external display

I just got a Vizio 37" lcd. It is hooked up to my g4 12" powerbook and looking pretty great except that it seems a bit stretched out from left to right. The users manual says I need to "set my pc computer timing mode to VESA 1366X768 at 60 Hz." I'm assuming they're talking about resolution so I've set my powerbook for 1024x768. It doesn't appear that I can go as high as 1366x768.
Is this the case? Is this what is causing the slight "stretched out" appearance?
Thanks

Hi,
I bought an ASUS WQHD Monitor and I use an MicroHDMI Adapter to HDMI and I can run full resolution of 2560x1440.

Programmatically change settings for "Button mode" in actions palette

Hi,
I am making an addon installer for Adobe Photoshop for Mac. After installing, I need to open a ".atn" file, and from the action palette , set it to "Button mode". How can I set the mode programmatically? Is there a plist or xml or setting file that I can modify to set its mode to "Button mode"? Or is there support for this in AppleScript dictionary? Thanks.

I am making an addon installer for Adobe Photoshop for Mac.
That’s certainly beyond my grasp, so please excuse if the question is useless, but if you load the atn-file anyway could you not use a Configurator Panel for those Actions instead of trying to change the Actions Panel’s settings?

Satellite M50-156: How can I change resolution for my external monitor?

Hi,
I bought an exernal monitor for my laptop M50-156 which has a resolution of 1920x1080.
But the problem is that such a resolution is not available in the display settings of my computer!
I tried to update the graphic card and chipset, but the max resolution I have is 1280x1024!
So my external monitor cannot display properly :( Did anybody have the same problem?
Please help.. Thanks.

> But the problem is that such a resolution is not available in the display settings of my computer!
The resolution is not available and this says everything!!! Its not possible to choose this and you will have to use another resolution!
There are two reasons why your favorite external resolution is not available:
1) the graphic card chip does not support this
2) or the graphic card driver does not contain this resolution.
In your user manual you can find all supported and available external resolution
But I assume the 1920x1080 is not supported

How to use a secondary monitor in Portrait mode

Finally discovered how to do this. Here is how to use a second monitor in portrait mode:
Open System Preferences from your iMac dock.
Click Displays - Click Arrangement - Click Gather Windows - the secondary monitor dialog box opens.
Click Rotation - Click 90 degrees rotation for PORTRAIT MODE.
Click CONFIRM on the secondary monitor to keep Portrait mode.
Select the desired resolution. I chose 1200 x 1920.
You'll see a dialog box that says, "About to change the display mode."
Click OKAY.
Click Confirm. (If it appears. For some resolutions, I did not have to click confirm, most likely because the monitor supports those resolutions.)
Then resize the windows of the software you're using.
Done!

I too got the same. Both monitors went portrait. Then I unchecked the 'Mirror Display' option in the Arrangment tab of iMac display and voila. Got what I wanted.

Fixed layout ePub page turn not working in portrait mode

Hello all,
First time poster here. I created a childrens book, full color ePub from the Apple 3.1 ePub template. Everything sems to work great in general. But I wanted the book to be in portrait mode only to get the most out of the graphics. I have the package.opf file set for portrait mode, which shows just one page (correctly), but when turning pages the cool page turn animation does not work when testing on my iPhone5 and an iPad2. Pages just slide left or right. But when I change the opf to allow landscape mode, when testing on iDevices, it shows two pages at a time in any mode and the page turn effect works perfectly. Any way to get the page turn animation to work on just a single page in Portrait mode? To add to it I have an ePub example book from a non-Apple publisher that defaults to single page portrait, and is mostly text (so I'm not sure if its fixed layout or not), and the single page portrait mode allows the page turn animation to work perfectly.
Thanks all!

The small caps are wrong in Source Sans Regular. This are not correct small caps . This seams to be missing in the font.
But in italic style you will find correct small caps. They only work in InDesign not in ePub.
And if you look in my images (first from InDesign, second from Radium - iBooks looks the same) you can see many difference between InDesign and ePub.
Note the word "pfiffig", the I at the beginning of "Igor" in second paragraph and the "a" in the italic paragraph.
This is very frustrating!

Does Santa Rosa MB Pro support portrait mode on an External?

A MacInTouch post says no.
I'm now using a 17 in. G4 with an NEC 1980SX external that rotates.
The display settings in my Tiger System Preferences allow me to rotate the display 90 degrees which makes working on 11x17 documents much easier.
I want the new 17 in MacBook pro but no support for portrait mode is a bummer.

For clarity on the external portrait display issue:

Yeah, I have clarity...that's my post.
I now need someone to prove it by actually trying it because I also need portrait support.

I can't change the image at the top of Table of Contents (portrait mode)

I can't seem to change the image at the top of the table of contents, when viewed in portrait mode. It remains the planet place holder. Can anyone tell me where to find where to drag and drop a more suitable image?
Thank you.

Sorry, but I don't. Have never used a TV as a monitor. My suggestion was just a thought. Perhaps someone else will have a workable solution.
If the menubar is visible then it may be some adjustment that's needed perhaps on the TV itself which has it's own zoom. If it's set to an incorrect screen mode then it may cut off portions of the display - just a guess. Try switching the display mode on the TV to see if that resolves the problem.
As for the mini itself I'd set it to a resolution mode that most closely corresponds to what the TV can display. If it can display 1080p, then set the mini's display resolution to 1680 x 1050.

Video support: resolution, portrait mode and aspect ratio

I have been playing with a friend's PowerPC-based mini (while I wait for Leopard to come out) and have some pre-purchase questions:
1) Do the current Core 2 Duo mac mini models support the VESA standard Preset Timing Mode of 1680 x 1050? (That's not listed on his older mac mini and would affect my choice of monitor.)
2) Does the current mac mini support portrait mode with any monitor at all?
3) The specs list maximum resolutions of 1920 x 1200 (16:10) with DVI and 1920 x 1080 (16:9) with VGA. I'm guessing that is related to bandwidth of the cable and does not mean that all output to DVI would be at the 16:10 aspect ratio and all output to VGA would be at the 16:9.

mexibeetle,
As far as the resolution of 1680x1050 I cannot answer you. I have a Power PC mini as well as an intel mini. The resolutions available change based on the display connected, but neither of mine offer that particular resolution (the 17" monitor I have does not go that high on the PPC mini via VGA and the intel mini is hooked up to a 40" LCD TV via HDMI...those resolutions are either 1600x900 or 1920x1080)
Neither my monitor nor my HDTV list that particular resolution (1680x1050) as being available, regardless of what they are connected to, so I cannot say whether or not the mini is capable of driving a screen at that resolution.
As to portrait mode, on both the older and newer minis in the display preference pane there is the option to rotate your image...90, 180 and 270 degrees. Mounting your monitor horizontal or vertical should not pose any problem as far as I can see.

How do you change the text in portrait mode.

How do you change the text in portrait mode. I can edit it in landscape, but when I change the view the Latin and photos can't be edited and swapped with my material. Thanks

iBA should be approached like this:
layout in landscape
edit in portrait
- - check in both on your device
Use the 'disable portrait orientation' option (Inspector/Document) for layouts you just don't see working in any manner but landscape.

How to control Color Mode and Resolution for brochure creation?

Hello guys,
I am trying to find some settings within Pages, where I could set CMYK color mode and 300 dpi resolution for my pdf file.
I am creating brochure from scratch, using blank document, because non of brochure templates work for what I need. But I can't find any controls for color mode and resolution set up.
Is there any solution for this?

There has been a lot of discussion in the Pages forum about resolution and some on CMYK.
Much of the discussion has been incorrect.
For the colour handling there is the colour palette
The Apple Colour Palette is the user interface for colour managing vector objects created in Apple Pages such as rules and panels and for colour managing one class of vector objects not created in Apple Pages, namely typographic objects.
Imported objects maintain their colourant model and colour space, if there is one. If there is none, a colour space is assigned and the assigned colour space is saved out into the PDF, opposite e.g. Adobe Photoshop which will colour manage the object in the open editing session, but will then save out the object to disk without the assigned ICC profile if 'Colour Management: Off' is configured.
Therefore, if the imported object is data space CMYK and the colour space device CMYK, the system will assign the Generic CMYK Profile which is equivalent to ANSI CGATS TR001 colourimetry (US SWOP); if the imported object is data space RGB and the colour space is device RGB, the system will assign the Generic RGB Profile which is equivalent to sRGB colourimetry in OS X 10.5 and higher.
In general, always capture and then convert for correction in one of two data spaces with three channels, either ICC colour managed RGB or ICC CIELa*b D50. Then convert to CMYK1, CMYK2, CMYK3, CMYKn from the ICC colour space chosen for correction and archiving. This colour space should be large enough to hold any colours that the output colour spaces can hold.
The Apple ColorSync Utility has a gamut comparison dialogue which is 3D (point, press, and turn the 3D gamut comparison). Use this facility to pick an ICC colour space of reasonable size and shape for correction and conversion into final output. Don't pick sRGB as a quick look will show that it can't hold as input what ISO reference offset can hold as output for pure cyan, let alone hold what a big inkjet can hold in greens, blues, reds and yellows.
The ICC architecture lets the ICC profile for the printed output match out of gamut colours to in gamut colours using the Perceptual rendering intent, as intended in the original architecture from 1995. Adobe internally introduced an inhouse conversion for compatibility with PostScript and as default for PDF, Relative Colorimetric with Adobe Black Point Compension. Relative Colorimetric is in fact a proofing transform, without gamut mapping. Black Point Compensation is a simple linear scaling of the lightness to compensate for the fact that the shadows will be clipped in a Relative Colorimetric conversion.
The other problem is transparency, introduced in the QuickDraw Graphics Extension for Mac OS 7.5. Transparency is not supported in any version of Adobe PostScript (level 1, level 2 or level 3). Transparency is also not supported in any version of Adobe PDF prior to version 1.4 and higher. Therefore, unless the RIP Raster Image Processor is able to accept PDF 1.4 and higher, transparency has to be rendered / flattened which is done in the PDF/X-3 filter of the Apple ColorSync Utility.
The idea in the PDF/X-3 filter (for Adobe PDF 1.3) is that the everyday enduser, after placing ICC colour managed RGB or CIE La*b D50 objects, and after choosing an ICC colour space for objects created in Pages, chooses the ICC colour space for the output condition. The filter accepts both ICC profiles of type MNTR Monitor with data space RGB, ICC profiles of type PRTR Printer with data space RGB, and ICC profiles of type PRTR Printer with data sapce CMYK.
The colourant conversion (RGB to CMYK) and the gamut mapping (out of gamut colours in input colour spaces mapped to in gamut colours in output colour space) is then calculated as per the ICC profile for the output condition. An output condition is the combination of factors that affect how colour is formed: the colour lightness and colour tint of the paper, the colours of the colourants, and the tone value increase. Think of gamut mapping in a good ICC profile as Format 1 kerning in a TrueType font (where your font has state-based kerning for up to 8 glyphs simultaneously).
Below a link to a discussion of how to change the default PDF/X-3 filter the Apple ColorSync Utility. "Wegen diverser Fehler im Mac OS X empfiehlt es sich, wo immer möglich, die PDFs ohne Transparenzreduktion (also auf normalem Weg) über den Befehl Als PDF sichern zu erstellen und das Flattening der Druckerei zu überlassen," that is, pick the plain save as PDF path and leave the transparency flattening to the prepress technician.

Portrait Mode For Nokia N900

Unfortunately for some reasons I am not getting full satisfaction from my Nokia N900.
Missing MMS,
Quick Battery Drain,
Landscape Mode all times,
Unsupported by OVI,
Fully not completable with Nokia PC Suite,
I understand it's a kind of internet tablet. May be for this reason this phone have only landscape mode. But it does not mean that I shall use this phone only for surfing Internet all the way. I think Nokia should look into this matter and enable Portrait mode. In fact landscape mode is not comfortable all the times specially we bring out the phone from trouser's pocket and turn the phone landscape physically and start operation !!
These are some basic points. I believe there are also lots of issues with this phone. But as a Nokia addict I expected more from this device. Now I am badly waiting for change this device :-(
Thanks to all !!!
Nokia N8

There is a portrait mode SMS in development over at Maemo.org. Not sure how Nokia plan to address portrait mode in the future.
But it's been stated by Nokea/Maemo that they have no intention in bringing "Native MMS" to the N900. Instead they are working closely with Frals (the creator of fMMS) to make sure his app integrates seamlessly with the O/S.
The post can be viewed here: Statement on native MMS
Personally I think Frals has done an awesome job and I've finally got the hang of using fMMS.
Ovi is currently in beta. (There's enough talk about it on here).
N-Series PC Suite has a better compatibility than Ovi Suite at present.
And the battery drain will be fixed in the next firmware update (PR1.2), which is imminent.

Am creating document with Pages. pages are in "portrait" orientation, but two charts at end need to be "landscape". changing the orientation for one section changes it for entire doc. can i have different orientations in Pages for different sections?

am creating a document with Pages. all pages using "portrait" orientation, except 2 appendices need to be in "landscape". in Word for Windows it is possible to have different page orientations for different sections of a document. is that possible with Pages. Even when i put the appendices in a different section, changing the page orientation changes it for the entire doc.

Make a separate document the size and orientation you want.
Turn that into a pdf and add it back into the original Pages document or into the pdf from from that document.
