Desktop not restored after disconnecting projector

I've been using my older G4 PowerBook, running Leopard, for presentations recently. All the projectors I've used are detected properly and the screen resolution is automatically set to match the projector. However, when I disconnect the projector my desktop is not restored properly. The resolution is correct, but all the windows end up smaller and bunched up as if they were still being displayed on the lower resolution of the projector.
Is there any way to either specify that projectors should always be a separate display or to automatically restore the view I had before connecting the projector?
Thanks,
Patrick May

Hey unpluggedkk,
Thanks for your post, and welcome to the Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are having issues when disconnecting an external display, the following may resolve your issue:

  • My tabs are NOT restored after I reopen close and open firefox. I have tried all the suggested decisions- didn't work.

    My tabs are NOT restored after I reopen close and open firefox. I have tried the default page - on it I don't have "Restore Previous Session" button. I tried with the history menu - the "Restore Previous Session" option is not even available, like I never had previous session. I have tried to put my settings to always restore the tabs from the previous time- in fact, this option is on "Show my windows and tabs from last time" for a very long time now. Still don't work. Please, give me ideas, or even set up some time to chat live. Thank you all in advance.

    This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

    Welcome guy -
    Unless you are using Spry menus as a learning experience, you should move forward to a menus system that will display properly on the millions of portable devices that won't work with Spry which was deprecated 2 years ago.
    Many are using JQuery menus or pure HTML/CSS menus.
    If you wish to continue your Spry for learning experience, we'll be glad to assist; please let us know.
    By the way, your submenus are not showing because you need to add the red value to this rule in your vertical CSS

  • IPod touch 2G not restoring after paid 3.1 update

    Hi I'm new here, this is my problem.
    I have an iPod touch 8GB 2G, purchased in August last year, anyway, I decided to treat myself last Saturday and update it, thing is, when it updated it froze then put itself in restore mode, thinking this was just part of the process of updating I clicked restore, it then decided not to update and iTunes gave me a bout of errors such as the most common (13,14,1604) and the uncommon (20) after feeling extremely guilty for even bothering with the update in the first place, I did everything possible to make it work such as;
    removing iTunes
    Re-installing all apple software incl iTunes.
    After managing to calm myself down my friend offered me his 2G 16GB as he was given two iPod's in September by his divorced parent's.
    So I plugged this one into iTunes ready to sync it, when suddenly; it decided (against my will) as I'd already purchased the update, to update this one to a 3.0, the exact same process occurred and I now have a brand new iPod that will not restore itself.
    May I say I have tried EVERYTHING, un-installing, re-installing, deleting the software updates, re-booting, different computers, I have even tried a jailbreak with no success.
    As I live in Scotland and both iPod's were purchased in Argos, I cannot get support from anywhere, any suggestions or help, PLEASE, I am at the end of my tether and I don't want a brand new iPod touch to go to waste.
    Can I also mention, I have tried restoring it from various iTunes series, (7.0,8.0 and 9.0) and it is not restoring in any of them.
    I have tried jailbreakers; Ra1n and QuickFreedom.
    I think this may be to do with the 3.1 software from Apple, therefore, after reading various similar posts, I am not alone.
    This has had me in tears as my original 8GB iPod touch was a gift from my recently deceased grandfather and the fact it has broken has had me in tears.
    Anyway, help is well appreciated

    I had the same problem once and right now I'm typing this reply on the iPod that had the error, so it's a semi-easy fix. This isn't the way I did it but as soon as I remeber I'll post that as well.
    Ok, first check to see if your iPod is connected to your computer via a USB hub. If so then unplug it and plug directly into a USB port on your computer.
    If that doesn't work try updating the USB driver like this:
    1. Plug your iPod into the computer (no USB hub).
    2. Quit iTunes if it is open.
    3. Click on the start menu.
    4. Click control panel.
    5. In the control pane,l click on administrative tools. If you don't see this option look at the left column and click switch to classic view. You should then be able to click administrative tools.
    6. Double click the computer management option.
    7. In the left column you see the device manager option under the system tools folder.
    8. In the right column, click the plus sign next to universal bus controllers to expand this option.
    9. In the dropdown list look for anything related to iPod or Apple. You might see something like "iPod" or "Apple Mobile Device." You may also see a yellow colored exclamation point symbol, which means you need to update the driver.
    10. RIGHT CLICK the "iPod" or "Apple Mobile Device" and choose update driver from the menu.
    11. A hardware update wizard will pop up. Choose "Yes, this time only," then click next.
    12. Select insall the software automatically and click next.
    If that doesn't work let me know. This is a fix I found on the Internet. Some people still had trouble afterwards and others didn't.

  • Wifi (WPA-PSK) not restored after sleep?  (10.4.10)

    Hi,
    Has anyone else noticed that their Wifi connection is not being restored after the MacBook comes back from a sleep?
    I'm using a 2006 white MacBook (Core Duo) with 10.4.10, connecting to a Cisco 877W ADSL router using WPA-PSK. Cisco firmware version is (C870-ADVSECURITYK9-M), Version 12.4(4)T7, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1), "flash:c870-advsecurityk9-mz.124-4.T7.bin" which seems to be current.
    From a cold boot, there is no problem connecting to the wireless router, but after a sleep, the connection is not restored, and the router syslog shows repeated unsuccessful authentication attempts from the Macbook's MAC address.
    Connecting manually to the correct network SSID doesn't resolve the problem: it just prompts for the WPA PSK keyphrase, which doesn't work if entered. Of course the correct keyphrase is already in the keychain.
    As a workaround, switching the Macbook's Airport off and on again a few times eventually seems to get it working again, but it's slow and very clunky.
    Can anyone else confirm this problem? It seems to have been introduced with 10.4.10, but I would like independent confirmation before reporting this to Apple, as I changed the wireless router around the same time as the 10.4.10 update appeared.
    Thanks,
    - Martin.
    PS: I guess there are two morals to this story...
    1) Always clone your hard drive to a Lacie drive with SuperDuper before installing any Apple updates - so that you can back out any buggy updates without a full reinstall.
    2) Don't install any Apple updates within 2 weeks of installing other network changes - so that you can tell what's caused any issues.

    The WPA auth problem still exists on a clean install of Leopard (and a full reboot is needed to clear it every time the laptop comes out of sleep) so I'll ring Apple Support and see if they can at least add it to their known issues list, in the hope of resolution later. It's quite likely that downgrading to WEP would be a workaround, but WEP is just not acceptable from a security perspective.

  • Ipod will not restore after update

    I downloaded the new version to make app. to my ipod touch and I was told to restore my ipod to have the update. Now my Ipod will not restore and I have lost everything in Itunes also. What do I need to do?

    I just did the install of 2.0.02 last and I had one dickens of a time restoring my library. Here is what happened to me. Right before doing the update it tells you that all of your music, videos etc.. will be removed from the Ipod Touch once the update is done installing. So I found a DVD and burned my library to it. Then I went ahead and did the install. It clean my Ipod Touch clean, but my iTunes library was still intact so I thought all will have to do is resync it but that didn't work. I tried and tried. I disconnected my external HD. Oh yeah by the way this is a new computer that I just bought and last night was the first time I used iTunes on it so I had to populate my library using iGadget.
    Anyway, I realized that I didn't have manually manage my iTunes library unchecked I unchecked it and it began to sync the back up copy I had of my library. Did either of you back up your library before installing 2.02? Do you have a place where most of your music is stored outside of iTunes? You cannot have Manually manage library checked it won't restore if you do. Be aware though 96% of my cover art was gone with this restore. How annoying. I don't know if this is the information you were looking for but I hope I have been able to shed some light on the issue.

  • Contacts etc. will not restore after an upgrade to...

    I just backed-up my N95 then I upgraded to V11.0.026 (Vodafone). Now it will not restore this back-up or any back-up from previous months, it wont even sync with my N70 to get some numbers out of that!!!! Upgrading it was the biggest mistake I could have made, I only did it because of the constant lock-ups. Any ideas? Do I need to take it to Carphone Warehouse for a DOWNgrade??

    I remember the backup being an issue after the upgrade to version 11. Mine backed up Contacts only and not Calendar. In fact I remember reading somewhere that it actually warned you about the backup issue before you did the upgrade.

  • "All Desktops" not staying after reboot

    I have a few applications which I've set to show on all my desktops (iCal, 1Password, Communicator).
    What I have noticed is that after reboot (with restore windows checked) that sometimes those applications do not show up anymore on all my desktops. If I check the setting I can see the option is still checked however. To "resolve" it I need to switch it to say "This Desktop" and then back to "All Desktops".
    I'm working with 3 displays: external display (VGA through Thunderbolt) which is the primary, my laptop screen is a secondary monitor and I also have a USB display through DisplayLink as a third monitor. I always put these applications on my secondary monitor (laptop screen).
    Anyone else seen this issue? It might be an issue with this in combination with multiple displays.
    Thanks.

    I can confirm that this behavior is not caused by multiple displays; as I have the same problem using only one monitor.
    I consistenly set my Terminal.app settings to show on all desktops, but once the system is rebooted it reverts to displaying on Desktop 1. One has to change it from ‘‘This Desktop’’ to ‘‘All Desktops’’ to get the functionality back.
    This is a bug that should be easy for Apple to fix. It would also be nice to have all open applications in a session remember which desktop it was associated with previously, as I have a number of things open which I arrange into different desktops (‘‘spaces’’)--as I'm sure many other users of OS X do as well.

  • HT1212 my ipad will not restore after passcode dissable

    passcode dissable , connect iTunes atempt 6 failure

    Locked Out, Forgot Lock or Restrictions Passcode, or Need to Restore Your Device

    5. iOS- Understanding passcodes
    6. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    Forgotten Restrictions Passcode Help
    You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
    Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.
    If this all fails then:
    Placing your device into recovery (DFU) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • Restoring after disconnection from PC and cannot s...

    This is my first post, and I hope I can explain my problem clearly... Have tried to find solution on site without success, so appreciate any help out there!
    I accidentally disconnected my phone from PC during a PC Suite data transfer (it was automatically uploading images to a folder).
    Phone (N79) "went blank" and I am unable to switch it on again - it makes small "buzz" as ON switch is depressed, but does not light up or start at all.
    Hence, I am unable to do a Restore from PC Suite as I cannot "Get connected" via my USB cable. The PC just cannot find/ recognise that the phone is connected.
    Do I have to go to a dealer to get the phone "reloaded" or is there some way I can do this?
    Also, if I can get my phone back on, will I have lost the data/ images I was trying to upload, or is there some way to not lose them?
    Many (many) thanks for any help.

    Reformatting the iPod for the Mac will speed up data transfer rates between your iPod and your computer, and will also allow you to update the iPod's firmware on the Mac. The Mac updater won't update PC formatted iPods; you will only get the option to restore the iPod.

  • 2nd drive unformatted and not restored after attempting restore from a system image

    I created a system image, which included drive C (where Windows is installed) and drive G (where some installed Windows programs are located).  I then ran into a situation where I wanted to restore from the system image.  With my first attempt,
    this process took several days.  When I returned home from work, my computer had booted up into Windows -- drive C had successfully been restored.  I soon found out though that drive G was in an unformatted state.
    Now, given the time it took for each drive to restore and the sizes of data for each drive (160gb for C and 1000gb for G), it seemed odd to me that the entire process had completed already, given the time that had passed and the progress indicated for drive
    G in the status bar, in the morning before I went to work.  It is entirely possible that one of my cats may have jumped on my desk and somehow cancelled the operation.
    My questions are:
    1. if the restore is cancelled while the 2nd disk is being restored, will the 1st disk (C) still be successfully restored?
    2. why does this process take so long?
    3. if there is some other error, is it displayed?  Does system restore automatically reboot after completion/cancellation?  Is there an error file created somewhere if there was an error, or perhaps something mentioned in a log file?  If so,
    where?
    4. has anyone encountered a similar issue before and can provide any insight?
    5. anything else I'm missing?
    I'm attempting to restore a second time, and it is not even halfway through drive C, so it might not be until the end of the week before the entire process completes.  To be safe, especially from nosey cats, I disabled the mouse and keyboard so no input
    can interrupt and accidentally cancel the process.
    thanks,
    Chris

    Hi Chris,
    For the first problem, if the restore is cancelled while the 2nd disk is being restored, the 1st disk (C) can be successfully restored.
    For the second problem, I think it is normal to take a long time to finish the process, it is depend on the size of the date.
    For the third problem, you may check the setup log files to find the clue of the cause.

  • Desktop not sharp after installing Solaris 10 8/07 on an Ultra 10

    Hi. I just installed the latest version of Solaris 10 on an Ultra10 and noticed that the desktop is not sharp. It's almost as though everything (background, Launch button, windows, etc) is misty. Oddly, the drop down menu displayed with right-click on the desktop is clear and sharp. Likewise, the contents of the Desktop Background Preferences window is OK, but the desktop selections and title bar are misty. If I try to change the resolution, an error is displayed saying 'The XServer does not suport the XRandR extension'.
    Any ideas?
    Andre.

    I used to have a similar issue when connecting my computer by DVI instead the classic way.
    After applying several updates the issue was gone for Solaris 10, but is still there for SXDE.
    I think it has something to do with video card driver.

  • HT201210 my Ipad will not restore after trying to update what do I do?
