Disable/Override Auto-detect for displays

i have a mini serving as the head for my media center. if i plug it into the HDTV via a DVI->HDMI cable it works just fine. detects the HDTV display options perfectly.
but what i would like to do is plug it into my receiver, where all the rest of my audio and video can go as well. that way i just have one video out to the tv for all my sources.
the problem is that when i plug it into the receiver i get generic display options on the mac (none of the HDTV resolutions) and the receiver doesn't know what to do with them. nothing is passed back out to the TV.
various cables, resolutions, and third-party software for playing with video output options have been tried. i'm hoping that, if there is a way to disable auto-detect for displays, i can output 720P/1080i as such and the receiver will recognize it and send it out to the TV.

Hi,
Thanks for posting your issue in the forum.
Regarding the current issue, I suggest we could refer to the following similar threads to disable Automatically detect settings via Group Policy. They may be useful to us.

IMac always auto detects for external monitors after waking from sleep or from display off

I've got a Dell 24" monitor (2408WFP) plugged into my mid 2011 iMac via DVI cord and thunderbolt attachment. Things work fine.
When I need to leave my computer, I usually turn the displays off using the shortcut keys: CTRL + SHIFT + EJECT
This works perfectly and both displays go black. However, when I return to my computer and reactivate the iMac, the iMac display will turn blue as if I have just plugged in a new monitor even the external monitor is still plugged in. It usually flashes blue twice before displaying the password prompt. I can usually just log back in as normal. I've never had this happen before using Snow Leopard. It's annoying but strange.
However, even more strange is that sometimes when returning to the desktop, the iMac will do the auto detect display thing and then when I log back in, the external display just shows static as if there is no signal. I've checked the cable a million times and everything is as tight as tight can be and both ends are plugged in properly. Unplugging the displayport adapter from the iMac and then reattaching it restores the desktop on the secondary display although sometimes, it results in the secondary display showing a gray background picture instead of my normal picture. Replugging the secondary display seems to fix that too although sometimes it doesn't.
Why is this happening?
- Problem with the adapter?
- Problem with the DVI cable I'm using?
- Compatibility issues with my external monitor?
I need to stress the point that this has never happened before with Snow Leopard.
If I am the only one experiencing this then I suppose it may be an issue with the iMac or adapter or even the cable. But if anyone else can shed light on this problem, I'd really appreciate it.

Hi Micheal,
I've been experiencing the exact same issue with my new iMac I just bought. I bought it refurb so I wasn't sure if it was a defect with the hardware or not. Since I'm not the only one I will asume it's not for now.
Setup:
- iMac 27-inch 3.4GHz (Release May 2011)
- Dell 2709W external monitor
- Hooked in with mini display port to DVI adapter
- Lion 10.7.3 all up to date to this day
From what I've been able to gather the issue presents itself only when my Dell 2709W enters "Power Save Mode" after I do CTRL + SHIFT + EJECT or when the diplays simply goes to sleep by themselves.
Although if I hit that combination and the displays goes to sleep but I don't wait long enough for my Dell monitor to actually "Power Save Mode" (wait like 2 sec) then touch the keyboard then the 2 displays (iMac and Dell) resumes from sleep without the issue presenting itself.
I'm tempted to buy the mini-display port to HDMI just to see if the issue is still present with that adapter. If I do I'll update my post with the outcome.
If anyone else has any info to help with this issue it would be greatly appreciated. It's very annoying when you resume from sleep and you find all of your windows that where opened on the external display before sleep squeezed into your main display (iMac).
Thanks!

Disable Gnome auto mount for one specific UUID

I am using Gnome 3 (gnome disk utility,udisks,udev stack i think).
I have a device (Garmin Edge 800) that I am only going to use in Virtualbox so I want to prevent it from automatically mounting in Gnome. However I want other devices to auto mount as normal so disabling auto mount entirely isn't an option.
The device got two UUIDs and previously I could write a HAL fdi policy to ignore devices with those UUIDs, but now that HAL is deprecated I am not able to figure out how to do this.

There's probably a udev config file somewhere (udev wiki perhaps) but you can do it with fstab "noauto" that's what I do for partitions I don't want to auto mount.

IPhone auto-detect for Box SimpleShare on MBP.

Hi,
I loved the feature of Dropbox in which all my iPhone's photos and videos get transferred to dropbox folder on my MBP and then got auto-uploaded. Due to memory constraint, i moved to box.com's SimpleShare. Now, i'm wondering whether there is some similar functionality availble on it too.
I'd appreciate any suggestions for that. Also let me know if more information is needed.
Thanks,
Subeh

Just a +1 to ay I'd like to know how to make the auto-login work to. I'm running a free wifi community in my town and this feature would make every iOS user happy.

How can i disable "browser-auto-load" for different iframe-contents in a composite widget?

Hey there,
i´ve got a lil topic going on with a Website (One-Site-Layout with anchors), created with muse
i putted 20 iframes (each one routed to its own trigger) in a composite widget. Everything is working perfect for me and the users, but :
The deliverer of the iframe-contents (pretty big picture galeries) told me, his server crashes, because every single time, someome enter the Website, the browser i loading every single iframe-content in this widget automatically > so the traffic is way to large, and i need a solution that simply load every single content after a click on the right trigger, not before.
thank you so much!

Is it possible to disable the "auto preview" for pdf's on my ipad email?

Slow auto-detect times for PATA drive

Problem:
Very long auto-detect times for the PATA drive. During boot up, the system pauses at "auto-detecting" for this drive, for about 30 seconds. This is by far the longest period in my entire boot process. Occassionally the drive is not found at all, and I cannot boot. When I go into the BIOS, it's identified correctly. This is my OS/apps drive (the SATA drive is solely for audio and video). Any ideas? Also, is there a way I can get my system running in Native mode without losing the DVD drive?
My system:
865PE NEO2-FISR
1x160GB WD PATA drive, IDE 1, last spot on cable, jumpered as master
1x120GB WD SATA drive, SATA 1, jumpered as factory
1xOptoRite DVD-RW, IDE2, last spot on cable, jumpered as master
BIOS Setup:
Legacy/PATA+SATA (I tried both Native settings--SATA only/Keep PATA enabled, PATA only/Keep SATA enabled, but the system could not see my DVD-RW drive in either setting).

BIOS 1.7. I'm going to take the jumper off, thanks for that information. Should I set my DVDRW to cable select?
I also see that the beta BIOS fixes some problems with similar HDD issues, so I guess I'll try that if it isn't fixed by the jumper.

Disable auto-update for SYSTEM on windows

I wrote an AIR app that is called via a php 'exec' command for my employer. This is part of an automated system where there is no user interaction. The problem is that whenever the application is run, every now and then it will open the Adobe AIR Updater, expecting user input to allow the update or cancel.
I downloaded the AIR Settings Manager app, and it does a great job of disabling this auto-update, but ONLY for the user running the app. Is there any way to disable the auto-updates for SYSTEM?

Hi Ozzy,
Setting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\AIR\UpdateDisabled to 1 will disable runtime updates for ALL users. Adding the file%APPDATA%\Adobe\AIR\updateDisabled will disable updates on a PER user basis.
Hope this helps,
Chris

Auto-Detect Screen Resolution Does Not Work Across Multiple Monitors With Different Resolutions

Hi,
The Acrobat Pro DC (15.007.20033.2203) auto-detect screen resolution feature does not work with multiple monitors at different resolutions. Acrobat looks fine on my hidpi primary laptop display (Razr 14" 2014) but is completely unusable if I drag or extend the application to a standard HD resolution secondary monitor. Dragging Acrobat from my primary desktop display to the secondary display causes the UI elements to become 2x as large as they should be and makes Acrobat unusable.
Is there a way to make Acrobat auto-detect the display that it is currently on?
Thanks!
-Donald

To prevent it from happing again, you can
1. go to the Mouse preference and turn off the scroll zoom feature.
2. go to the Universal Access preference and disable the zoom features.

Text Encoding (Big 5) not being auto-detected

I just had to reinstall OS X (10.4, the upgraded to 10.4.9) due to a bad crash. In Safari (2.0.4), I tried to view a particular page.
http://www.ettoday.com/
This is a Big-5 (chinese) encoded page; I have my Default Text Encoding set to Western (ISO Latin 1), and the page looks garbled when I try to view it, unless I go to View->Text Encoding->Traditional Chinese (Big 5), and then it displays correctly. My question is, why isn't this encoding being auto-detected and display correctly without manually setting it? Looking at the source, about 22 lines down there is this:
<meta http-equiv="ªF´Ë·s»D³ø" content="text/html; charset=big5">
which looks like the appropriate specification of the encoding. Can someone who has chinese fonts installed please verify this? Is this something Safari is doing wrong, or possibly something got lost in my system reinstall (to tell the truth, I can't recall specifically if this was a problem prior to my crash).
Thanks,
David

Ok, thank you. I gave up trying to understand html right around when the "blink" tag came out, and I just get paranoid every time I do a reinstall that I'm missing some critical part. I like the validator-- never knew about that.
Now, if you do a search on the source code for that ETToday page, somewhere far down you'll come to another section that reads:
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=big5">
blah blah blah
This does appear to be properly formatted, and maybe it's there specficially for English-default browsers. However, perhaps neither Safari nor the validator are picking up this, or maybe it's referring to something else altogether?
thanks,
dave

V4, "Enable profile" no longer auto detects lens.

In V3 checking the "Enable Profile" box would detect the lens if a profile existed for it. In V4 I must specify "Make" before it auto detects. Is this a known issue?

Lens Auto-detection still works for me. Some lens correction settings might have gotten corrupted on your side.
The next time a lens fails to auto-detect, after you choose the make and the lens gets detected, select "Save new lens profile default" from the Setup box. From now on, the auto-detection for a similar camera/lens setup should work.
