Changing resolution remotely

I have a Mac that I control exculsively via ARD because it's some kind of server (used for backup purpose).
This Mac has NO display connected.
May I chanhe the resolution to something bigger than the standard 1024x768?
Thanks.

Yo need one of these:

This will allow you to set the resolution and boot the Mac with out losing the setting.

Resolution changed on remote display. Fan runs at HIGH speed.

Today, for no reason, resolution changed on remote display. Option needed no longer shown. Tried SMC and PRAM resets. Now resolution on the MAC AIR is messed up (not full screen) and the fan runs at HIGH speed. This is a sudden change. Have been using the MAC Air in this exact configuration for 2 years. Tried restart/reset of monitor. Nothing. Did resets on MAC and screen changed there. Also the fan runs at high speed.

How do I resize/change resolution of photos from iPhoto when used in iWeb

I am shooting with a 7.1 Mega Pixel Canon to get enough quality to crop and print high quality pictures of my baby daughter and her adventures in the world.
I have a website up made with iWeb, but when I select the photos in iPhoto and go Share / Sent to iWeb / photo page - I get a nice layout of the photos but at full resolution when the thumbnails are selected or the slide show is run. Although nice and sharp, this is a pain for anyone looking at the site even with high speed access.
There must be some way to resize photos, but I have yet to figure that out with iPhoto, let alone iWeb. And as one photo at a time is a pain, there must also be a way to rescale a whole selection of photos that I want to use for a page - say her Disneyworld trip. I can't be the first person to run into this, but I have not found anything out there to point me in the right direction.
Ideally I wold like to create a resized set from the originals - so I can still print and crop in high qulity. I also am not really sure what resolution would be best or easy viewing and download - that's probably subjective. 1200x800 comes to mind but I am open to suggestions.
Perhaps resize is not the right term - changing resolution is probably more accurate, but there too I have not found an answer.
Appreciate the help and suggestions.

dan28088,
Tried your site on two different browsers, using highspeed broadband; the site is, indeed, extaordinarily slow. We can dissect the thing down to the last file, but it won't change anything, as far as I can see. If it were me, I would host the site on another server. The .Mac servers are just plain slow, period. I think that is the primary problem here. Just my opinion, others may disagree.
I created a new site this past weekend for a new project, and published it to .Mac. It contains a lot of jpeg files in slideshows (along with the usual png suspects!) . After reviewing it a few times, and not being satisfied with page-load speeds, I published to a folder and uploaded the site to space on 1&1 WebHosting.
The page-load speeds TRIPLED. That's right...3X as fast page-load speeds. Even large, linked to files, 3MB+, load within a reasonable amount of time. (seconds)
I still will keep a .Mac subscription, as I like and use all of the other features of the iDisk. But for serious website hosting, I think you will be better 'served' with a remote host. Your money with .Mac is certainly not wasted; the syncing services and other features of iDisk space that integrate with your local files are well worth the yearly fee. Again, only one user's opinion, based on experience.

Prevent Mac OS X from changing resolution

I have a Mac Mini connected to my Sony 46xbr8 HDTV, and every time I turn the TV off, Mac OS X changes screen resolution to what seems to be arbitrary one. Just now it switched to 1280x1024, screwed all windows up along the way, and even if I connect to it via a Remote Desktop and change the resolution back to 1920x1080 - the system menu remains 1280 pixels wide, and the rest of the space where the menu should be is empty.
Is there a way to prevent Mac OS X from changing the resolution (other than leaving my TV on at all times)?

So, is there no other way to prevent Mac OS X from changing resolutions, when the TV is off??? It wouldn't have been a problem, if it didn't change all open window sizes, but every time I turn on the TV - all windows become tiny...
I've installed Windows 7 in BootCamp on the Mac Mini, and God, it works SO MUCH BETTER than Apple's own OS on their own computer!!! It does indeed look like now Windows 7 "just works", and Apple's Mac OS X - "just doesn't"... So far it looks like Apple is losing it...

When I try to upload a file it goes through the correct proceedure, but does not change the remote file i.e.Index.htm

Hi
I have an uploading problem to the server. The problem is when I try to upload a file it goes through the correct proceedure,
but does not change the remote file i.e.Index.htm, or three stages1.htm.
My Localroot folder is C:\Gods Plan Web\
The site map layout is C:\Gods Plan Web\Index.htm
The folder for the remote site is /public_html/
Should the local root folder mirror the remote site, i.e./public_html/
if this is so, what should I put into the
(a) Local Root Folder box?
(b) site map layout box?
The FTP is performing well other than changing the intended file.

You should be uploading only the contents of your local root to the public_html folder (remote root).
The index.html you use as your site's home page needs to be in your site root. If you look at your Files window in DW, you should have something like the following...
Site - Whatever you named your site
     index.html
     images
     pages
          page1.html
          page2.html
If you have any folder between Site - and the index.html page, like...
Site - Whatever you named your site
     mywebsite
          index.html
It will upload to the public_html while still in that folder, so to find your page online, you would need to type something like...
www.mydomain.com/mywebsite
public_html should NOT appear within your local files and if it existed there, would cause a redundancy if uploaded. You would need to type www.yourdomain.com/public_html to see the uploaded pages.
If you could post a screen shot of your expanded Files window while connected to the server (just connect and click the Expand button in Files, don't drill down into any of the directories), we may be able to see the issue.

External Monitor changing resolutions on Macbook

I have seen several people ask this question, but I haven't found a suitable answer. I have a MacBook running 10.6.8 at school. I teach and move from room to room hooking up to different projectors and monitors. The set up is just very unstable. Despite its supposed ability to remember settings, it rarely does and the resolutions are messed up as well as the display callibrations. I have an external monitor on my desk. Yesterday, I set the resolution to the native 1280x1024, when I plugged back in, it was back to 1024x768. For some reason, the higher resolution wasn't even appearing on the list until I fiddled with it.
Why is this so buggy on this MacBook running this OS? Is there a way to force it to remember display settings better? Any tips?
I know that other teachers have more problems than I do because they don't even know how to change resolutions or anything like that.
Thanks for any tips, tricks or helpful comments.

Try doing a Parameter RAM reset - hold down command/option/p/r keys at start up and wait for three chimes before releasing the keys.

Can I change resolution and embed font in cloud acrobat?

I need to be able to change resolution on one manuscript pdf, so I purchased the monthly cloud acrobat, but now I'm not seeing the capability to change resolution on the document.
I don't have an ongoing need for high resolution pdfs, so my normal MS Word to pdf is usually fine.

Nothing in the world can increase resolution if that's what you want. Reducing resolution is done via Save as > Optimized PDF.

Changing resolution in Solaris 10 sparc system

How do change resolution in solaris 10 on sparc system?
During install display was fine. Once boot to OS, display is bad. Need to know how I can change resolution to get a decent display on screen.

I'm not too sure about sparc hardware, as I don't know which graphic server it uses, but on my system(x86) the same thing happened. What I had to do was make an xorg.conf as the install doesn't create one.
On the CLI execute '/usr/X11/bin/xorgconfig' and this should step you through creating an xorg.conf file- as long as you are using the Xorg server of course.
or
execute '/usr/X11/bin/Xorg -configure' this should create a basic xorg.conf and you just edit it yourself where appropriate.
Personally, if you know your graphic board,monitor, keybrd and mouse along with refresh rates the first method is probably best.
H.T.H.

Why can't I enlarge safari bar and bookmarks bar so the print is larger. I can only do this if I change resolution on display. I do not want to make my 27" smaller. Any comments?

After just installing Mountain Lion on mid 2011 iMac 27" I find it does not allow increasing size of font for Safari bar and Bookmarks bar. The print is so small it is difficult to see. I can change resolution of screen but the the size of the screen becomes smaller. Not what I had in mind when I bought this iMac. Is there any fix out there and is Apple working on this problem? Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks.

Could the Change Resolution App for Retina mess up Display?

This is a dumb question and I believe I already know the answer but I downloaded the Change Resolution App just to test out the 2880 setting. After doing so, I closed it out and then went to the settings on my laptop and chose best retina aka 1440. It seems like the retina display does not look as good as when I first took it out the box so I just wanted to make sure that by downloading this app and messing with it a few times, it didnt affect the way Apple sends you the laptop. Like I said, I went back and set it to the default setting but something didnt seem the same. I didnt know if Apple did something special to make it look so well but when you messed with the setting through an app it now has removed what they did and it doesnt go back to the way it originally was even when you go through the Apple settings and change it back to Best Retina display. Like I said, I know its probably a dumb discussion but I am not the most advanced when it comes to computer talk. I also read something about the way the display works through the 1440 setting allows 4x the pixels or something like that. I appreciate your help even for a noob question like mine.

Anyone know the answer?

Imported mpeg videos change resolution.

I am importing mpeg videos to the project on PP 7.2.1 (4) under Windows 7 and they seem to change resolution and aspect ratio. Not sure if there is a setting that can be changed to override the aspect ratio and resolution when importing videos to the project ? Otherwise the video plays fine despite looking a little bit strange with this new aspect ratio of 1.1851.
The original video stream is (according to mediainfo):
Format                                   : MPEG Video
Format version                           : Version 2
Format profile                           : Main@Main
Format settings, BVOP                    : Yes
Format settings, Matrix                  : Custom
Format settings, GOP                     : M=3, N=15
Duration                                 : 44s 478ms
Bit rate mode                            : Variable
Bit rate                                 : 9 071 Kbps
Maximum bit rate                         : 8 900 Kbps
Width                                    : 720 pixels
Height                                   : 480 pixels
Display aspect ratio                     : 16:9
Frame rate                               : 29.970 fps
Standard                                 : NTSC
After importing it to the project the properties are:
Type: MPEG Movie
Image Size: 540 x 480
Frame Rate: 29.97
Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - Stereo
Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
Total Duration: 00:00:44:15
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.1851
Does anybody know if this can be corrected somehow?
Thank you

Thank you - I went through the tutorials and I think I am running into a different issue (at least this is how ti looks).
The original video when opened in source monitor (before importing it into the project) shows properties of:
Type: MPEG Movie
Image Size: 540 x 480
Frame Rate: 29.97
Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - Stereo
Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
Total Duration: 00:00:44:15
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.1851
and this is before importing it to the project just opening it in the monitor. Not sure what to think of it the video shows everywhere as 720*460 (16:9), when I click properties in windows in various media players and in MediaInfo but for some reason PP sees it as 540*480 (1:1851).
Thank you

Force user to change resolution

Is there a way to force the user to change resolution size?

Hi Kiryuu,
Xtras do need to be bundled with your application on the CD.
They can be
either embedded into the projector or kept external in a
folder called
Xtras at the same level as the projector.
I have info on this in my Stub projector tutorial at:
http://www.fbe.unsw.edu.au/learning/director/publishing/projector.asp
Whether using Third party Xtras (Commercial Xtras) or the
ones that come
with Director, the same rules apply about packaging them with
your
projector.

Changing dpi changes resolution

Does changing the dpi of an image change the resolution of the image without changing the size?
I have an image that is 300 dpi that I need to enlarge 400% changing the dpi to 75.
I don't think manually changing the dpi to 600 will actually change the clarity of the image when enlarged 400%.
Is that correct?
Thanks
Cindy

First, DPI (dots per inch) is different to PPI (pixels per inch) despite the terms very often being wrongly interchanged. Photoshop works with pixels, not printer output dots.
http://www.google.com/search?q=dpi+v+ppi
Changing resolution with "Resample" enabled will result in changed pixels, but no change in the physical size (inches/cm/etc.) of the document.
Changing resolution with "Resample" disabled will result in unchanged pixels, but there will be a change to the physical size of the document.
You will not increase the clarity of an image by enlarging it.
The best way to learn what happens is to try things and observe the results.

Why does the elements 13 change resolution when going into the editor -- it is huge and unusable

why does the elements 13 change resolution when going into the editor? -- it is huge and unusable

Many mysteries...
Which is your OS version ?
Your screen is 1920 by 1080 pixels.
The problem appeared after having worked normally.
When we select a picture from the organizer (album) and click on the edit button. The editor software changes the entire computer resolution from 1920 x 1080 to 640 x 480 (very unusable).
That's not clear for me: did you click on the 'Edit' button on the bottom right part of the organizer, or did you use the menu or the right click popup menu to open the editor? In the second case, you are in the editor workspace.
We tried right clicking on the Elements 13 icon, select properties and under compatibility we made sure that "run in 640 x 480 screen resolution" was de-selected, and it was. Cannot find any properties window for the editor?
The editor has its properties in the 'Edit/preferences' menu, but there is nothing about resolution there.
Just to be sure : when you are in the organizer with the left 'Folders' panel shown, you highlight one of those pictures to edit. Then you right click and choose to "go to folder". Do the images are shown as 'offline' ? If that is the case, the original are on an external drive which is not connected, and what you are seeing is a 'preview' copy on your computer with 640 x 480 resolution.
