Changed the screen resolution, wont return to original

Hi, i was changing my screen resolution and i made a mistake and choose a resolution that my screen doesnt support, i waited the 15 seconds to return to the normal and nothing happened. I cant seem to set it back to the original.
Appreciate the help!

Turn off your Mac holding the Power button. Then, turn it on and press Command, Alt, P and R keys while your Mac mini is starting, so you will do a PRAM reset. This will reset the screen resolution, so the display should be working

Is there any way to change the screen resolution in Front Row?

Hi all,
I've got a Mac Mini plugged in to my TV, and I want to be able to change the screen resolution depending on the content I'm watching (as some content is in 4:3 aspect ratio, some is in 16:9, and I'd prefer to have the picture filling the screen completely). Unfortunately, the TV doesn't have a "stretch" mode for making an 4:3 picture fit a 16:9 aspect ratio. If I know what I want to watch in advance, I can set the resolution accordingly using system prefs on the mac, but if I'm just sitting back choosing what to watch with the Apple Remote, it's annoying to have to leave front row, walk over to the computer and change resolution once I've decided what to watch, open system prefs, change resolution, re-launch Front Row and find what I wanted to watch again.
So I was wondering if anyone had figured a way to allow the screen resolution to be switched from within the FrontRow UI. I've seen that people have written python based plug-ins such as PyeTV and Understudy that allow different types of content to be added to FrontRow, but I've not found any utility plug-ins such as what I'm looking for on the net (nor could I find SDK documentation on this API in the stuff that comes with XCode).
I guess the other approach might be quick keys: has anyone had any success hooking up quick keys macros alongside front row in response to apple remote events? (seems too few events to be able to choose from, but I've never tried it, so I won't assume!) Or how about is there a way to trigger an AppleScript from within Front Row? And, of course, I'm very open to any other ideas you might have!
Thanks very much in advance for any ideas on this.

How to change the screen resolution in the Mobile Emulator

so far we tried the Mobile Emulator in the netbeans, it is alway 240*320, but many real device is WVGA(480*800)
whether does that mean the JavaFX Mobile only support the 240*320?
if not, how can I change the screen resolution of the mobile Emulator, thank you

I'd like to know how to do this, too. I tried fiddling with the "ScreenGraphics.bean" in the JavaFX\javafx-sdk1.2\emulator\toolkit-lib\devices\QwertyFxPhone directory, but without success.
If anyone knows, please just drop a quick line here!

Is there a way to make the icon/words larger on the screen without changing the screen resolution?

Is there a way to make the icons/words larger on the screen without changing the screen resolution?

If you right-click in the top of title bar of any Finder window there is an option to un-check 'use small icon size', though toggling between the two makes little difference on my screen.
Another trick is you can zoom the whole screen by holding down the 'control' key and using a two-finger swipe up on the trackpad to enlarge, down to go back to normal.

My Apple TV 5.0.2 (4250) changes the screen resolution every 10-15 sec. Is there a way to solve this problem?

Hi, My Apple TV changes the screen resolution every 10-15sec. The device is up to date and video setting are done correctly. It is connected to Philips 42pfl3507. What should I do to solve this issue?
Thanks for your help.

This sounds like a problem beyond resolution.
I'd start by restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds, or resetting it using the reset option under general. You should also try restarting your router.
If that doesn't help, try a restore.
If the problem continues:
Check that the HDMI cable is correctly seated at both ends.
Try disconnecting the cable and connecting it again.
Try another HDMI cable.
Make sure your TV supports 720p (Apple TV 2)
Try the Apple TV with another TV

How to change the screen resolution in Sparc workstation.

I am using the CDE screen to login. I need to set the screen resolution to 1100*864. How to set?
solaris 10 current setting is 1280*1024.

Specs for Ultra20 machine list ATI graphics as " onboard " chipset and the availability of four (4) other plug-in cards as options.
Depending on the installed graphics card, you must seek different commands, etc. for each change of resolution.
If you do not have the original manuals that accompanied the unit, check Sun`s site for documentation. They list an abundance of info and the " Getting Started " book gives indepth details about setting up the various graphics options for proper use with the various operating systems. .......................

Upgraded to Windows 10 and now I can't see my two HP w1907 monitors or change the screen resolution

I just upgraded my computer from Windows 7 Professional to Windows 10 Professional. Before the upgrade, I had two monitors. Since the upgrade completed, I no longer have two monitors. I need to figure out how to get two monitors back, as well as how to get the correct drivers for my two HP w1907 monitors installed, so that my system recognizes that I have two monitors. I also need to be able to reset the screen resolution to what I had before (in Windows 7).

How do you change the Screen Resolution?

I can not figure out how to change the resolution on my screen. Everything is much smaller than what i would like and would like to enlarge everything. There is a simple way of doing this with a PC but i have not been able to figure it out on a macbook pro.

Go to System Preferences (under the Apple menu) and click on the Displays pane. If your machine is set for "Best for Display" tick the "Scaled" button and mess around with the different resolutions until you find one to your liking.
Good luck,
Clinton

Tengo un computador iMac de 27 pulgadas que además tiene una resolución de pantalla de 2560 x 1140, por lo tanto el tamaño de font o letra en la barra de menús de cualquier ventana o aplicación se ve muy pequeña. Si se cambia la resolución a una inferior el tamaño aumenta; pero se ve borroso. Quisiera mantener la máxima resolución y tener un tamaño de font mayor.
Gracias

Hello,
You can't really change it overall, but you for some Apps, like Safari>Preferences>Appearance, Mail>Preferences>Fonts & Colors.

Is it possible to increase the size of everything on the display (All fonts, icons, menu bars, etc) at once without changing the screen resolution?

I have a user with a new 27" Mac who is very.... specific... with how she wants things. She says she needs the displayed size of everything on her computer increased as everything is too small. I tried changing the resolution to 1920x1080, which she stated was around the size she wants, but this will not work for her since things aren't crystal clear and she says it hurts her eyes to view it like this.
I come from a Windows background so I assumed there would be a way to simply increase the display size of everything in one shot. If not, what hoops will I need to jump through to have this adjusted for every application on the machine?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

OS X doesn't have a UI size increase ability like what you expect on Windows, it's been a long complaint of Mac users for ages, but Apple simply refuses to listen.

I have a web browser solution here, the other opiton is to use a scroll wheel/head mouse and a Universal Access "control" key to press while scolling with the mouse up and down to zoom in/out where the mouse is pointed or some other trackpad etc arrangement.

How do i change the screen resolution

I have the resolution on my computer set correctly. When I click on Firefox, the images are too large (wrong resolution). How do I set it for the correct resolution? I have my computer set at 1650X1080.

Give these a try and see if they help.
Ctrl + increases the size
Ctrl - decreases the size
Ctrl 0 (zero) resets to the default

After using Image Capture and watching a video, the screen resolution changes

Hello,
Normally the colors of my screen are clear; The top ruler of each window is grey.
But after scanning a color document, the color is pale. As if someone changed the screen resolution.
Is this a common problem?
My former Macbook Pro died because of a problem with the video system, a default acknowledged by Apple that they didnt want to repair under warranty anymore.
Does this ring a bell?
Today, the colors quickly became normal again, but I'd like to make sure it ' s not going to become a serious problem.
Maybe this sounds kind of vague, well if anyone has something constructive to say about this, please do.
thanks

When you decided to not copy the files into the iPhoto Library Folder you took responsibility for File Management. iPhoto does not touch your file structure. Therefore, when you delete a photo from iPhoto you have to delete it from your file structure by hand.
This is not the case if you let iPhoto do the File Management.
There is no way to get iPhoto to find the pics you have deleted from it but which remain in your file structure. In the future, you could Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. You can then delete it from there, and after delete it from iPhoto.
BTW, many people hold on to their own file structure because they feel that they will be unable to find a pic in the Finder, should they need it for uploading or emailing. There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, this produces a copy.
3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
