Connecting the 1440x980 Powerbook to the TV, placement and cropping issues.

The last Powerbook I owned was the 1.87ghz 15inch at 1280x800 resolution. When I connected the computer to TV via s-video, everything was smooth, perfectly cropped and looked fantastic.
My new Powerbook, the last model Apple manufactured, has a 1440x960 resolution, and disappointing s-video output. After connecting the s-video to my TV, I connect to my Powerbook, hit Detect Displays and wait for a connection. The quality is perfect, but the image has a half inch black border on 3 sides and is flush with the right side of the TV.
Why am I having issues with this Powerbook? Is it the new resolution, bad video card? Is there any way to shift the image slightly or fill the remaining space?
Thanks for looking

Thanks for the tip, how do I change the refresh rate once the Powerbook is attached to the TV? The option seems to disappear once I hit Detect Displays.
I notcied that Overscan will get rid of the border, but then I have the problem of over-cropping and losing part of the image.

  • I sometimes have blue and red square-shaped dots appear on my MBP; especially but not exclusively when I'm watching videos.  The dots don't stay in the same place; and also they are not there all the time.

    I sometimes have blue and red square-shaped dots appear on my MBP; especially but not exclusively when I'm watching videos.  The dots don't stay in the same place; and also they are not there all the time.  Also, sometimes my animations (applications opening, windows being dragged, etc.) will glitch as well.  Again, this is not a continual thing; it just happens variously throughout my day.  MBP Model A1212, OS X 10.6.8, 2.33 Ghz 3GB RAM.

    Did the original songs that do not appear on the car player play in the Music app on the iPod? Sometimes glitches happen and they do not. Also, If y ohave a 5G iPod/iOS 7, purchase songs  will show with an cloud icon by them if they are not downloaded if Shall All is turned on in Settings>iTunes and App Store

  • Mini mac will not register my digital camera. It connected the first day and I was able to upload some video; however, I pulled the USB out--there was a bad message--and I cannot get the mac to register that I plug it back in.

    It connected the first day and I was able to upload some video; however, I pulled the USB out--there was a bad message--and I cannot get the mac to register that I plug it back in.

    Have you downloaded everything that is on the camera? If so format the SD card on the camera (will erase everything on the card).
    If you have not downloaded everything can you see stuff on the camera? If you have a card reader you could try putting the SD card in that and trying on the mini. If your mini has a SD card slot you could try that.
    In any case format the card on the camera before taking more pics.
    Next time be sure to eject the camera from the Mac properly and turn the camera off before disconnecting.
    EDIT: You might also check the camera's USB Mode is set to PC.

  • How To Perform The Same Edit And Crop To Multiple Images?

    On just one image this would be a no brainer, I'd just use the paint brush or similar tool to wipe over a section I want covered and use the crop tool to get the image size and position I'm after. The thing is though, I'd like to do the same edit and crop to a series of photos to keep them all consistent and it's beyond me how to do that in PS5. When I look at help I find tips on using scripts, batch processing or stacking images that seem to defy the English language and don't address the two simple little things I want to do to these images.
    Can anyone explain, or point me to a resource, that could help me accomplish what I'd like to think should be a simple task for such an expensive program?

    You could use a "clipper" document to isolate the globe in each image.
    Create a clipper doc which is the size of the images in the globe series and which contains only a layer with a silhouette of the globe surrounded by transparency.
    Make an Action which will copy the current image and close it, paste into the already open clipper doc, clip that image layer to the silhouette layer, crop/trim, export a file then revert the clipper doc to its initial state of just the silhouette ready for processing the next image in the batch. For example:
    1. Select All
    2. Copy
    3. Close
    4. Paste
    5. Create Clipping Mask
    6. Trim based on transparent pixels
    7. Save As
    8. Revert
    Open the clipper doc then set up Batch so the output files are named with a serial number.

  • After iOS8 update my iphone 5 doesn't connect the wifi properly and battery dies instantly

    Hi, I have upgraded my iphone 5 to iOS 8 and after that the full 100% battery discharges instantly even if I do not use any apps.I have to charge it every 2 hours. I do not know what to do now it became unreliable.
    Second issue is that I cannot connect my wifi at home in some rooms, when the other iphone 4 is connected perfectly. Sometimes I cannot even see the home network sometimes it shows me it but when I want to connect it says something like error to connect the network. It always connected before the update. I have to use LTE all the time at home now. It is crazy.I am scared to upgrade the iphone to iOS 8.1. I tried to totally reset all setting on my iphone including Network Setting, plus I have turned off background App Refresh and Lowered my brightness to save battery life, but nothing worked. And I'm afraid it's getting worse every day.
    Please let me know what I can do. Because it is terrible, I have this phone for two years only and I am very careful to devices I have never dropped it and didn't do anything to make these kind of issues.
    Thanks

    Do the restore with out restoring from your back up if that doesn't work I would go in the the apple store.

  • Profile manager shows only one profile but I have two profiles located in the same place and I want to change

    I have had a Firefox crash and uninstalled then reinstalled three times. For some reason Mozbackup won't back up my files. In checking profiles, I have two profiles with different names and both marked default, located in the same place. I would like to use the old profile but the profile manager only shows one profile.
    How can I get to use the old profile?

  • HP Pavilion dv6626us needs a special bracket to connect the hard drive and I don't have one

    HP Pavilion dv6626us Entertainment  Notebook PC
    For US models a bracket is required to connect the SATA hard drive. 
    Is this bracket available?   Or are hard drives for this laptop specially made with an unusual sata connector? 
    (The specs for this laptop say the original hard drive is SATA 1.5 speed.)
    I don't have the original hard drive or bracket.
    I would like to use a regular sata laptop drive with this computer.  
    HP sells this item:     451862-001     
    (HP's description is below)
    160GB SATA hard drive - 5,400 RPM, 2.5in form factor, 9.5mm thick - With mounting bracket for US models ONLY!
    ( HP wants alot of money for this hard drive  -- I hope there are other options.)
    Can you help me find a bracket or tell me what my options are?
    Thank you for your help.

    Hi,
    You should be able to reuse the existing mounting bracket on the machine, no reason to buy another bracket. Please check the first manual (page #51) of the following link:
        http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/manualCategory?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&document=&product=3548378
    HP does not make HDD's for personal computers (PC's & Laplops) You can check the brand and buy a similar HDD, should be much cheaper, you can also buy a bigger (capacity) HDD.
    Hope this helps.

  • TS2756 When trying to update ITunes on my pc using my Iphone 4 personal hot spot via usb connection the download interups and will not install.

    When trying to update ITunes on my pc using Iphone 4 verizon personal hotspot via usb connection the download fails.

    I called this problem into Apple and they solved it for me.  The problem is in the downloader associated with iTunes.  Skip that step and go to Apple.com and download the new iTunes softwere update (Version 11.1) directly.  I did this and installed it successfully.  After restarting the computer iTunes recognized my phone and all was well.  Then I updated and installed the ios7 update without any problems.  No charge.  Full cudo's to Apple!

    This might help ya out -> iPad: Using iPad Camera Connector with unsupported USB devices
    If you encounter an issue trying to connect a digital camera through an unsupported USB device, try the following steps:
    Disconnect the iPad Camera Connector from iPad.
    Disconnect any USB device connected to the iPad Camera Connector.
    Restart iPad.
    Reconnect the iPad Camera Connector and then connect your digital camera directly to the iPad Camera Connector.
