Decreasing 27" iMac resolution 2560x1440 into 1280x720
Hi, I was about to change my native 27" resolution (2560x1440px) to just a half (1280x720px). I expected sharp result - just double size pixels without any smoothing. but I got only a terribly blured picture of all graphics on the screen - windows, buttons, my illustrator graphics I'm working on right now... Is there any way how to turn this clever smoothing function off? I need to temporarily decrease the resolution because my tablet is too small for such huge resolution. thank you, tom
Yeah, I know. these two options are about FONT smoothing. I've got problem with all around antialiasing. you have iMac too, Barbara, could you please try to decrease resolution of your screen to just half of it? Is it antialiased? I'll try to upload some pictures in here, thanks.

In placing a high resolution jpg into InDesign some whites tended to gray out. Why?
In placing a high resolution jpg into InDesign some whites tended to gray out. Why?
Have you checked the whites in Photoshop and made sure they are all 255|255|255? Depending on the compression used, JPEGs can have artifacts in an otherwise white field like in the edges of this low quality jpeg:

Every image on my iMac was imported into iPhoto!
Every image on my iMac was imported into iPhoto, even icons, templates, DVD covers and game images. There are even videos in my iPhotos library. He (who shall remain nameless!) was really only trying to help and clicked the wrong thing - obviously. What a mess! How do I get them back where they belong? (I'm still using iPhoto '09.)

Thanks, John. I read in another post that when you delete an image from iPhoto, it deletes the original from the computer too, not just the library. So, I was understandably nervous.
Understandably, yes. He who shall not be named may have chosen "Import to Library..." and selected a folder or even your entire hard disk's contents. Doing so would result in every readable image file being imported.
If that's what he did, I just did too and verified original files remained untouched after importing then subsequently deleting them from iPhoto. So, I have no explanation for whatever the other post indicated. -
IMac boots straight into Windows 7
I installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64 using Bootcamp on an iMac 9,1. Now when I turn my computer on, it boots straight into Windows 7 by default. If I hold down Option while booting and select Mac then it does boot correctly into OS X 10.6.1. Is there a way for me to configure the iMac to boot into Snow Leopard by default?
Use the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences in Mac OS X or the Startup Disk control panel in Windows.

Hello, community, Please could someone confirm the Graphics card needed to support a Eizo ColorEdge CG275W monitor, resolution 2560x1440. I currently have a Mac Pro with a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT VRAM (Total): 256 MB, which I'm guessing by it's age will not handle the new monitor. Any advice greatly appreciated.
Kindly Andrew Nashhttps://discussions.apple.com/message/5024326#5024326
I would dump the 7300GT regardless and get the ATI 5770 $249
Apple ATI HD 5770
5770 in the 2006 Mac Pro -
I cannot import high resolution photos into iPhoto on iMac
iphoto shuts down when I try to edit a high resolution photo imported into the application.
these are scanned photos at a resolution higher than 600 dpi.Sometimes it does not get imported, other times it does and when I try to edit with the quick fixes it crashes.
Below the latest crash.
The photo is scanned with a multifunction Canon MG6250 in color at the highest resolution.
In preview the photo is displayed well and editing is allowed, but with iPhoto crashes.
Thanks for any tips,
A.Becker

OSX Maverick iMac Resolution: stuck at 640x480. How do I fix this?
This is my iMac:
- 21.5 inch
- late 2012
- 2.9 Ghz Intel Core i5
- NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 512MB
- OSX 10.9.2
After updating to Mavericks, the screen resolution somehow got stuck at 640x480 and I'm unable to change it. Going into display settings and holding down the "options" key, does not show ANY display resolution options (see image attached). Any ideas on how to fix this?Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2. -
Hello all!
Im logging in with the same credentials that i used literally 15 minutes before the update.
Its really odd. it will not log into my desktop. its a totally new user but using my credentials so all my settings are fresh.
does anyone know a way of getting my machine back to its previous state? i dont use time machine (not sure that would help anyway)
We log into a server here at work which gives us access to the internet and other servers for files etc. But our programs/details are kept locally. like i say the user folder still exists but i cannot log into it as the credentials open up a new user. There are no other credentials to log in with either.
baffling!
Hope someone has had this problem and managed to sort something out.
Regards
Chriswell me and my collegue fixed this. It had renamed the user folder to 'imac' i simply changed the user folder that i originally logged into back to its original name and its now fixed and letting me log back into my proper desktop.

Is it possible to put an iMac G5 screen into a intel iMac of the same size?
my white 17" intel imac screen is about 60% covered with the vertical line problem, ive tried openeing it
and blowing air through it, in hopes it was just some crazy dust accumulation, and smc fan control, but its getting worse by the week.
i have a g5 imac 17" with a perfect screen, but a dead HD so i dont use it,
can i get my G5 screen taken out and put into my intel?
id think it would be possible since their the same same size screen for the same type of imac
unless the the inner connections, placement etc. is different between the two.
thanks
-shane
heres a picture of my intel screenShane B,
I have the same model iMac with the same problem screen.
It's the LCD panel that is defective,(at least in my case).
You can validate this by getting a mini DVI adapter to connect the iMac to an external screen and test it on your HDTV or on any external screen.
Get the proper adapter from Mini DVI to what you have on the external screen or TV (HDMI, DVI, VGA)
and a cable to connect it and see if the image on the external screen or TV is OK.
In my case, my iMac was sitting on a shelf for two years before I thought of trying this.
I am now using it as a media server linked to my HDTV.
I ended up opening the iMac case to disconnect the LCD so I would not have to look at the ugly defective display sitting right next to my HDTV. -
My desk-top is an iMac G5. I use the Firefox brouser exclusively on it and have for a number of years. I now have an iPad [#1] but it only has Safari as a brouser. When I "Sync" my iPad with my iMac it brings my "old" Safari bookmarks list to the iPad. I cannot find a way to get my "everyday" Firefox bookmarks list into the iPad? What do I have to do??

Possible to put iMac G5 HD into PowerMac?
I recently had my old iMac g5 die (logic board not Hard Drive).
I have an old Power Mac G5 with an open harddrive bay. Can I put the imacs HD in there to get my data? is there anything I need to worry about? Is it even possible?Hi Ted, & welcome to the forum!
Looks like the earliest iMasc G5 had SATA drives, so it should be simple matter of putting it into a G5 tower that requires SATA drives also.
No thing to worry about! -
Dear all,
I found some problems for using Duo Displays with MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012) display and Samsung UHD Display (U28D590). I use resolution on my macbook is 1280x800, Samsung UHD Display is 2560x1440 And Connect with Display port to mini display port.
But I use sometime found always blank screen on Samsung Display and I tried to unplug mini display port and plug it again but it is not working until I shutdown and restart my macbook pro, my display back to working.
I want to fix this problem because it is very trouble for my working a lot.
Thank you very much
PhotThe symptoms I'm getting now, and I'm not sure if they're any different, suggest that for some reason Mountain Lion thinks my display resolution is higher than what it is, as wether I'm turning AirPlay on or off, it keeps changing it (on the MacBook) to what looks like maybe 1080p.

New to Imac,music file into itunes
Hi,Transferred my itunes folder from pc into new imac, using dvd,added to library,i drag file into itunes and it does nothing, sorry very new to this
It would be easier to answer if you use the word "iTunes" to refer to the application, and "songs" to refer to the tracks themselves, otherwise it is confusing.
The reason why iTunes still "sees" your songs is that the database files are still there even if you manually trashed the songs themselves. You need to start over IF you added no NEW music in iTunes on the new machine :- trash the iTunes folder in Music on the new iMac (iTunes should not be running).
Next, link the two computers via their FireWire ports, then start the old iMac in Target Disk Mode (hold the T key down while it is booting). The old iMac will then appear on your new iMac's desktop. Start iTunes on your new iMac, check "Copy songs to iTunes..." in Preferences. Then using Add to Library... point to your old Music Folder which is in the old iMac (and which you can access just as if it was an external HD).
If you had Protected (DRM) tracks on the old computer, you will need to Authorise your new machine in iTunes in order to play them. -
IMac resolution problems.
I can no longer select 1920 x 1080 as a resolution option for my external display. I'm using iMac mid 2011 27 " using Mavericks and LG W2442PA. Firewire to HDMI. Has worked for the last 2 years with no problem. Suddenly not. The option to select this resolution is no longer available. I can select other resolutions, but they distort the image and do not offer full screen resolution. I think this may be a problem with Mavericks on the last update. Does anyone have a suggestion?
See the last paragraph of this support article.

Can I swap G5 1.8 iMac SATA drive into a PM G5-1.8?
Looks like I've hit by the power issue. My iMac will boot up for about 20-30sec, spinning progress, then cut-out. Started happening out of the blue. Of course I hadn't backed up recently.
I have some important information on my iMac hard drive. Can I swap it into a PM G5-1.8 (SP)? If I can, that'll let me back it up. Then I can hand over my iMac to Apple so they can fix the problem.
Any info appreciated.From what I can read on the Power Mac specs, they are all serial ATA with the wiring set up to add another HD with just connecting the drive.
It is all here in the first section "Up to 800GB of Internal Storage."
