Does Frequently Toggling Between Screen Resolution Settings Harm PowerBook?

Does Frequently Toggling Between Screen Resolution Settings Harm PowerBook?
Since the 12" screen real estate is both limited and sometimes difficult to see (email, etc.), I often toggle (6-12 x a day) between screen resolution settings on a 12" G4 PowerBook (1.5GHz, 768MB RAM). Can anyone please confirm whether or not this harms the video, screen, motherboard, etc., in anyway?
I'd hoped to avoid buying an 17" LCD monitor to address this concern, but would do so if this shortens the lifespan of the PowerBook in any way.
Thanks in advance for any technical expertise on this topic.

this will have zero impact on your computer (other than perhaps adding to the wear on your keyboard?)....
doon't sweat it at all...

I need a symbol to remain center screen on my web page no matter the screen resolution settings.

Im trying to create an animation with functions inside a symbol. I need the symbol settings to remain seprate from the other settings of other items on the page such as "stage" and "background image" which are set to % height.width,longitude,latitude . It is important that the symbol stays in the center of the screen. I also need this symbol to always remain in the center of the screen no matter screen resolution settings that are likly range from 1360x768 to 1920x1080.

Hi there,
I solved the problem. but by solving the problem with centering the symbol on the stage I created another one, a very strange problem.
Firstly the solving of centering problem:
I left all settings of the symbol by px, (means no responsive layout), set 0 px o for position, and wrote a css which then centered the symbol on the stage,
sym.$("products").css({
margin : 'auto',
position: 'relative'
here how does it look in edge:
The symbol products is behaving just as supposed. The problem I created and which I don#t understand at all: I created another symbol (news) made the very same adjustments, but the symbol is not positioned as supposed. (of course I change the name of symbol in css). What the heck???
Anyone any idea why this is happening?

Screen Resolution settings on T61P

Hi,
Has anyone adjusted the screen resolutions settings on their T61P from 1680X1050 to 1440X900, or even lower? If so, does everything still look crip and clear at 1440X900?
I have the need, as do others at work to be able to drop the resolution a bit for various reasons.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your tips..I run XP and it is not very clear if I lower the resolution to get a larger font I also do not have very good eyesight so this is a pain....on my old Dell laptop I could use the CTRL + scroll the mouse to enlarge the screen....on my T61 (no mouse) I do not know how to do the same thing...any other tips?
Thank you again...I am so Thinkpad illiterate!
Could use a Thinkpad for Dummies handbook!

Simple-how can I toggle between screens

Ok...this is really simple, or it should be. Can I change a preference anywhere on my Mac to where I can not only toggle between programs with the "apple key + tab" shortcut, but toggle between open windows within a program?
For example, if i have iTunes open and Safari open I can toggle (switch screens/windows) between the two with the "apple key + tab" command but I cannot toggle between screens WITHIN a program. If I have Word open and I am working on two documents and I want to go from the forward window that I am working in to the window behind it I have to manually, with the mouse point and click on the window at the back.
Is there a preference I can change somewhere on my Mac or no? I've looked but maybe I'm not looking in the right place.
Curlz

Who says it's undocumented? It is documented several places. In Mac Help, search for "Keyboard shortcuts"; select "Full keyboard navigation" or "Shortcuts for windows" -- this is documented both places and probably others as well.
Also, in System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts, you can change shortcuts, or disable them, or just see what they are currently set to.

Preventing screen resolution settings changing when connecting a beamer

I do a lot of presentations and every time I connect a beamer (not my own, one that is in the hotel or conference room, so different models every time) my MBP screen settings go often haywire.
My screen resolution on the MBP 15' (OS SL) is set at 1680x1050 (high resolution screen).
As said it does not hold as soon as I connect a beamer and at times the setting is not even available any more, at other times all of a sudden I have dozens more settings, etc. This is of course, to say the least, annoying, and sometimes I spend 10 or more minutes to get my screen to behave in a workable fashion.
Result is that my resolution on my screen become unworkable as (mostly) it defaults to real big resolution (and as such big script) that makes lots of items on the top bar 'invisible' (they fall of the screen).
Is there any trick to prevent this from happening?
Thanks.

How is this remotely the same problem? The original poster is having resolution problems with projectors. You have an LCD tablet that isn't showing an image. This is thread hijacking, however much you don't want it to be. You need to go start your own topic for this.
Excuse you, it's the same problem because my Cintiq has a problem taking in the screen resolution, which is why I'm not getting it to display properly. I explained it before, so if you can't read it, then that's your problem, and not mine. Even if you think it's a different problem, you don't have to be so rude to me. I'm not hijacking the thread, I'm just saying that I think it's a OS issue, and I don't see the point in making another one if I'm going to get a response along the lines of how there's already another thread that's similar.
And now, I might add, you've officially completely derailed this conversation. Because instead of it being about the OP's problem, you've made it an attack on my character, which I consider an attempt to start drama. If you consider my post to be insignificant, then you could have just as easily ignored it. You've not only wasted my time for hoping someone would at least give me an answer, but you've wasted your own for hardly contributing to the conversation in a positive manner.
Get off your high horse.

How to get screen resolution settings

How do u get the present screen resolution from code?
thanks

The AWT Toolkit class has got a method called getScreenSize(), it returns an instance of Dimension.
I'm not sure what to do when you have multiple screens though; maybe the methods of the classes GraphicsEnvironment and GraphicsDevice can be used.

Hand tool does not toggle between other tools anymore.

in Photoshop & Illustrator, pressing the spacebar no longer toggles between the hand tool and other tools.

Authorware Screwing up my screen resolution settings

Was having problems with my macromedia flash and the website
said download this Authorware. Now everytime I click on my web
browser FireFox or on the downloaded authorware desktop install
icon it resizes my screen. I have gone back to the properties and
reset the screen size however it continues to resize it
everytime.I've tried to locate and remove this Authorware download,
but have had no luck finding it. Please help!!!

You were at this site:
http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&p romoid=BIOX
...and it asked you to install Authorware? Flash does not
require the
Authorware plugin. Or are you confusing the Authorware Web
Player with the
Flash player? They are not the same thing.
First, check to see if the Authorware Web Player plugin is,
in fact,
installed. In Firefox, type "about
lugins" (without the quotes) in the
Address bar. Look for Authorware Web Player. If you find it,
close Firefox,
and go to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins and delete
np32asw.dll.
Then go to C:\Documents and Settings\<your login
name>\Application
Data\Macromedia and delete the "Authorware Web Player"
directory. Then
restart Firefox and see what happens.
Your symptoms are so strange, I wonder if you didn't get to a
spoofed site
and have downloaded a virus or some other malware. If I were
you, I would
update my virus signature files and run a complete system
scan.

The INSERT button does not toggle between inserting text and overwriting text, but just stays in insert. Is there a way to switch to overwriting text?

I am using Firefox to fill in forms in our library cataloging system, InMagic Genie. With IE, I can toggle back and forth from insert to overwriting text with the INSERT button, but it has no effect in Firefox.

Firefox doesn't support overwrite and is always in insert mode.

How does one toggle between slow/fast of rotary speaker of the organ vst

Is there a way to do it with the modulation wheel of my midi controller or assign a key command or ??? It can be done with the mouse but that's way lame. I also have a Teac mixer/control surface I haven't hooked up yet but still need to know if this is even possible. Or do I have to spend another 300 bucks for an upgrade?
FWIW, I am not totally new to Logic but totaly new to Mac. I am a previous Logic user (Windows, Logic 5) but I got tired of Windows crashes and lost work. I just got this 15 inch Mac Book Pro with 7200 rpm 160GB HD and 4GB RAM and all I can say is WOW! What a sweet machine. I don't think I can ever go back to PC and I've only had this thing for 2 days now. So much better than PC. I never thought I would say that either after being a PC user since DOS and Windows 3.1. Anyway, other than this I am way impressed with this newer version of Logic and of course, my new Mac.

Hi,
It goes like this:
- Click on the Automation Icon above the arrange window, and select the Rotary Speaker at the Track with the Tonewheel Organ (Organ > Rotor Cabinet > Rotary Speaker)
- Go to Preferences > Automation.
- Switch Automation Quick Access on
- Click Learn Message, and gently move the desired control (e.g. modulation wheel) a bit
- The mod wheel should now control the rotary speaker; completeley up = Tremolo, halfway = Brake, completely down = Chorale
- if you want to record what you are doing with the mod wheel, make sure the Automation Mode is on Touch or Latch, and not on Read.
Kind regards,
Jaap

What screen resolutions are available on His-res 15" MacBook Pro?

Hi. I can see in the apple web site specs what the various screen resolution settings are for the standard resultion, 1440x900,
15" MacBook Pro (1440x900, 1280x800, 1152x720, etc.)
But what are the settings available for the 15" MacBook Pro with the hi-res (glossy to be specific) screen?
I know the native resolution is 1680x1050. Are the other settings as for the standard res also available?
And while I have your attention, does anyone know what type of LCD panels are used on the standard and hi-res displays?
TN, PVA, IPS ?

Screen resolution gone poor in Mac Mini

I cannot get optimum resolution on my Mac Mini. Just a day before I disconnected all the cords, including power and HDMI, just to move my Mac Mini (OS X 10.9.4) to a different room, and connected it back as it was. (Really speaking only two cords) and now I can't seem to get my screen resolution back.
The earlier screen resolution was there since I connected my Mac Mini for the first time to the LCD TV screen and I never had to deal with any resolution settings, but I am clueless now why I can't SET and SAVE optimum screen resolution settings. Here is screen capture for my System Preferences -> Display settings
I also have DISPLAYMENU app which gets me to a better screen resolution now, but it seems I do not have any option to save that configuration so every time I restart my Mac Mini, the display will go back to its weird screen resolution state and I have to start from all over again to get it back in a good viewable screen resolution with the help of DISPLAYMENU. I have contacted Apple Support and have done resetting SMC and PRAM and entering in to SAFE-BOOT as well; nothing seems to help here. Any other suggestions? (I cannot accept that it is LCD TV problem because 1. Earlier it was working absolutely FINE. 2. I have my xbox connected to same LCD TV and I am getting screen resolution what I was getting earlier.)

Backlight
Direct LED
Refresh Rate
60Hz
Resolution
720p
Dynamic Contrast Ratio
100,000:1
Display Aspect Ratio
16:9
Display Resolution
1366x768
Colors:
16.7 million
This is what I found on manufacturer's website for the TV model I have. I do not remember exactly what was the resolution earlier but it was definitely not 720 (in earlier image). All I know is I can observe the difference in the screen resolution.
Also I have tried all sort of setting and resettings; (I was on chat with Apple support over an about 45 mins and on phone call around the same time.)
Also, I cannot accept that I might be using wrong connectors/adapters/TV not compatible to the resolution I am trying to get to; because it was working absolutely fine just few days before and as mentioned I have connected my xbox to the same TV, which works absolutely fine.
