Dynadock display resolution settings reverse to 640x480

I have just very easily installed my VGA dynadock and have one thing I can't find a solution.
My 19" TFT is set to 1280 x 1024 and the Dynadock to 640 x 480. Other resolutions being offered but whatever I select and OK or Apply, both these settings immediaitely revert to the originals and the screen resolution leaves a lot to be desired.
The USB ports are 2.0.
Can you help?

Hi
May I ask if you use the newest software for Dynadock???
The newest Dynadock software (drivers, tools, etc..) can be download from the Toshiba European page.
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
On the download form choose:
- Options
- USB options
- Dynadock
- right part number
- right OS
If you want to install the newest software you should firstly remove the old one from the OS. Disconnect firstly the dynadock and remove all dynadock drivers, tools, etc
The reboot the notebook and connect the dynadock again.
The installation setup will ask for the drivers and in this case you should install the newest software.
Best regards

Display resolution settings not storing since upgrading monitors

We have (2) Mac Pros and since upgrading to larger monitors we have been having issues with the resolution settings not "storing" in display preferences. The computer setups are slightly different, and the monitor sizes and make/models are both different, but the problems are the same:
1) Mac Pro DVI out > VGA switcher > Monitor VGA input
2) Mac Pro DVI out > VGA switcher > DVI switcher > Monitor DVI input
(*Note - I know this whole setup seems ridiculous, but it's the way each of the rooms were hard-wired)
With both machines the problems intermittently vary from the resolution itself changing at random when turning on the machine each day, to the desktop background being about 2/3 the size of the screen, while all of the icons and rest of the desktop being normal sized/extended to the edges of the monitor as it should.
It seems that if we change resolution to anything else, and then change back to the desired resolution, that usually solves the problem.
Does anyone know why these settings won't save?
(*Note - we recently upgraded to Lion, but the issue was there before and after the upgrade.)

You must close the window and save changes to keep them.

Retina Display Resolution Settings & Limitations

Are there only five settings that will work for the Retina display? Display > Resolution > Scaled options only include five clickable icons from "Larger Text" to "More Space"
Also, is there a way to change the choices from five cute pictures of text snippets to a list of actual pixel dimensions (e.g. 1920x1080, etc.)?

Check out Eye-Friendly Display Resolution Switcher in the App Store. It'll give you actual pixel dimensions as well as more resolutions to choose from, including native (if your eyes are sharp enough).

I have a macbook hooked up to an Epson powerlite home cinema 720 and have had the display preferences set to 1280x720. I shut down the computer last night and when I woke up this morning the display was set to 800x600, I went to reset the display preferences and this is no longer an option? I can only set it to 1280x768

Are you stating that 1280x720 is no longer listed to select?

What is the best display resolution setting for Macbook Pro retina display for photography?

Display resolution settings are somewhat criptic. I want maximal resolution for editing photos. Which one should I choose?

Not sure what you mean by "attachment" -
The question was about a player/recorder, also known as a burner when used with a computer. Any burner will also function as a player with a computer (as in "read and write") - just attach the drive and insert a CD or DVD. iTunes will however, most likjely, attempt to immediately import the song - that is its default behavior. I have other audio software, so I can bypass iTunes as I don't care to use it. And this is what I am referring to:

27" iMac Display Resolution

I would like to find out which display resolution settings are the default on my iMac 27". Can anyone help me here? I got them set wrong somehow, and can't seem to get them back to where they were before I screwed them up

Thanks so much babowa.
That's the size listed at the top of my list also, but it doesn't depict if it is default setting or not.I'll use it for a while and see if it seems the same. I appreciate your response and help a lot.

640x480 Display Resolution when installing Tiger... which is NUTS!

I bought a ViewSonic 22" Pro Series Display about a year ago, and when I went to upgrade to Tiger 10.4.x today, the desktop display windows and icons were SO HUGE that I almost couldn't access the buttons on the installation disc windows... the DVD installer default display resolution seems to be set to 640x480... which is NUTS!!!!
Why has Tiger defaulted to the lowest possible resolution? And how can I fix it?
I tried to add the ColorSync Profile to the /System/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ and the /System/Displays/ folders, but I can't calibrate the display or change to the "ViewSonic P220f @ 9300K Profile" file I downloaded from ViewSonic.
Inside the /System/Library/Displays/Overrides/ there are several files that I cannot open with any application I have -- though I haven't tried Terminal yet.
Can anyone help with this?
I tried some of the tips from these discussions "Factory Default profile is missing" -- but no luck yet.

OK. It seems that I did not make it clear:
When I was INSTALLING the new Tiger (OSX 10.4.3), the default resolution was so low, that the buttons were HUGE.
The top and bottom of the Welcome screen were cut off. I could not even see the "Continue" button at the bottom of the window, and I could only continue by hitting the "Return" key on my keyboard.
If the button had not been pre-selected, I would not have been able to continue with the installation. There is NO WAY to scroll down or move the window up to select the button.
The "Install Tiger" window filled the entire screen, but luckily, I could access the buttons.
I did try a couple of Terminal commands from other discussions, but they did not fix the problem.
I've reset the PRAM and I am considering resetting the PMU on the logic board (using the apple info article #95307 guidelines).
However, I haven't read anywhere in the discussions if this is an actuall help or not.
PS: My computer model is listed at the bottom of this discussion window as it was at the bottom of the first discussion window. The video card is the either the Radeon 9000 Pro or NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti. I haven't changed it, and I don't remember which one it is - my G4 computer is not working at this time, and I may have to do a clean install of OS X 10.4 Tiger to get it back up and running.
Just a note about me: I've been working on Macs since 1987, and in 1984, I assembled my first DOS computer from Heathkit/Zenith. I have a Technician's Certificate to assemble and repair electronic gaming machines, juke boxes, video games and pinball machines. I know my way around elecronics and I'm doing pretty well with software and operating systems - mostly self-taught.
So, although I am extremely comfortable working in earlier versions of the Mac operating system (6.x-9.x), OS X is still a little new for me - and completely different from the earlier OS's. So I'm teaching my self Unix and trying to understand how the new OS works.

Cannot change display resolution when connected to external display

On my 2.0GHz 13" MacBook, I have no problem with the display resolution when connecting to external display/projector when I am running in Mac OS, everything work perfectly! But things start to get messy when I am running in Windows VISTA 32 (installed within the Boot Camp 2.1). Whenever I connect to any external display/projector via a MiniDisplay-to-VGA cable, the resolutions on both my MacBook LCD and external display/projector drop to 640x480. And i am not able increase the resolution in the Display Settings. Does this mean that I have not installed the latest version of display drivers? Or is it that Apple did not provide the VISTA 32 drivers (in Boot Camp 2.1) that is compatible with the Mini Display port.

Cool!
I'm glad you have it fixed.

Satellite Pro A300-28R - Windows starts up with wrong display resolution

OK so I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300-28R with Windows 7 64 bit and an ATI Mobility Radeon 3470 HD graphics card.
I recently connected my laptop to a TV via the S-video connection. This worked fine. The problem is that ever since then every time I start my laptop Windows starts with the S-video display resolution of 600x800.
I have tried changing the settings in both Control Panel and using the ATI CCC, having both selected and applied these settings but each time Windows starts now it boots with the above display resolution.
Following this I have also uninstalled and reinstalled both my display driver and the Toshiba Value Added package but the same problem persists. I have searched with Google about this problem and haven't been able to find anything useful.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi thanks for your responses! Originally I used the method of closing the laptop screen while connected to the s-video and then opening the screen and logging into Windows. This then automatically detects the display and changes to that output. To get out of this you can do either do the reverse or pres Fn+ F5 to undo. This has worked perfectly for me before with VGA connections. Its only since connecting to s-video that now no matter what, every time the laptop starts up even when it is not connected to any external display, it loads with the resolution 800x600. This is not the first time I have used s-video, but it is the first time I have had this result after doing it.
Interestingly if I change to the appropriate resolution and do a restart. The system restarts and loads to the logon screen and then into Windows in the resolution I specified before the restart but then after fully loading Windows it then changes to 800x600. It is as if the laptop is detecting that there is something connected to the s-video when there is not. I have read a fix for this whereby you can go into the system registry and turn off the feature for automatically detecting displays but I use external displays frequently and this is not a satisfactory solution. This worked perfectly before.

How to change external display resolution WITHOUT clicking "CONFIRM"?

I have a somewhat unusual situation. My MacBook laptop is actually now a ModBook (a pen-tablet computer), and as such I no longer have a trackpad attached to it. All of my inputs are via the stylus, tapping directly on the built-in display.
This works perfectly fine, except when I need to give presentations on an LCD projector (which is quite often lately). I like to use the projector as an external monitor, so that I can run the Keynote presentation on it while using my laptop screen as the presenter's display, with the upcoming slide, etc. If the projector doesn't give me an ideal native display option (sometimes, the aspect ratio for the 3 or 4 resolutions available in the Displays drop-down in the menubar turn out to be stretched or squeezed), then I, naturally, have to open the Display System Preferences and try out different resolutions.
The problem is, since my stylus only interacts by clicking directly on the built-in-display, I have no way of moving the cursor over to the external display when the dialog box with the "Click here to confirm change/You have 15 seconds..." message appears. So I can never click it ... so I can never confirm the new settings.
The workarounds I've used so far are:
- Mirror displays (not ideal, as I need the presenter preview of the next slide)
- borrow a mouse from someone (usually from a Windows desktop, frankly) and plug that in to briefly mouse over and click the confirm button
I'd love to find a software workaround that allows me to NOT mirror displays and also doesn't require me to carry around a mouse all the time (my laptop bag is already overstuffed...).
Thanks.

I went into the PC settings and tried to change the display resolution. This changes the size of all the icons (not only Adobe) but it does not solve the problem when I open an Adobe application (Photoshop or Illustrator)... The PC is run under Windows 8.1 and my display resolution is 3200x1800 (but again, when I change the settings for a smaller resolution, only the size of the icons is affected. Once I open the software, the problem is still there, extra-small toolbars...). Help!!!

Anything before CC is not high-DPI compatible. Feel free to continue to experiment with your system settings.

Windows 8.1 forgets dpi / display size settings for one monitor on almost every reboot

I use TV 32" with 1920x1080 and cintiq 13" with 1920x1080
when I boot my PC the resolution is fine but DPI is wrong.
In smaller monitor It's look like DPI is higher than the bigger one.
I already set dpi to be the same (smallest 100%) but it's not work until I do something to change display setting.
It's really annoy me. This problem is not happen when I use windows 8
Only solution I found is turn off
"Turn on fast start-up".
When I do that It's boot like what I want. every monitor is the same DPI.
But it'll make my boot time longer.
It should be just start up windows and use the same dpi from the start.
So I think this problem is a bug in windows 8.1
Best regards

Thank you for reply.
I've already used the latest graphic card driver. But It's won't help this issue.
In registry editor. I check those variables then value of them is already set like that blog suggest.
So , it look like when windows start-up(with fast start-up) It use something like
suggest value for different monitor size instead of what I set in control panel. But when I turn off fast start-up windows use my setting value.
And I think there are a lot of people who got the same problem as me.
Here is an example.

Display resolution and Mac OS X 10.5.7

I am now using my Mac mini (early 2009) as my primary computer (new aluminum keyboard and an LG 23" LCD HDTV) and have sent the iMac Core Duo to "the boys" room for them to use. But they have called my attention to the display resolution a few times since I updated it to 10.5.7. The iMac seems to be lost as to what its default resolution should be. It was always set 1024x768, but that appears really tiny onscreen.
I also have noticed a large number of folks in the Mac mini (early 2009) forums complaing that after the update, they have lost the native resolutions they previously used with the mini and HDTVs when setup as a media center.
Has anyone here noticed resolution issues following updating to 10.5.7? Have you found a way to correct the issue?

Hi David
No problems here with the 10.5.7 update, the resolution on my 17" is and always has been set to 1440x900 Millions both before and after the update. +(1440x900 is the native res. for a 17" display)+
If I switch the iMac Display to 1024x768 Millions it makes everything larger and slightly blurred, again the same before and after the update.
Also note that the settings for my connect 27" Sharp flat screen TV are 1024x768 60Hz (NTSC) Millions was not affected in anyway. I always run my setup in Extended Desktop, but if I switch to Mirroring then both the iMac and TV Displays go to 1024x768.
Sound to me like it has something to do with selecting the Mirroring/(Extended Desktop)Mirroring Off feature...?

Display resolution for 2014 MBP?

How do you adjust the display resolution to the "native" 2880 x 1800 on a mid 2014, 15 inch rMBP with NVIDIA Graphics?
I can not obtain a resolution above 1920 x1200.

Hello there, pf2555.
When adjusting resolution for your MacBook Pro Retina, the following Knowledge Base article offers some information on that regard:
Frequently asked questions about using a Retina display - Apple Support
How do I adjust the resolution of my Retina display?
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2012 and later) displays have a 2560-by-1600 native resolution at 227 pixels per inch with support for millions of colors.
MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012) and MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013 and later) displays have a 2880-by-1800 native resolution at 220 pixels per inch with support for millions of colors.
iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014) displays have a 5120-by-2880 native resolution with support for millions of colors.
If you need to adjust the display resolution, choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu. The Retina display offers scaled resolutions that allow you to have text and objects appear larger on screen, or to make them appear smaller which provides more space on screen. Note: Scaled resolutions do not offer the same visual quality as the Retina setting. Scaled resolutions may also impact graphics performance depending on which applications you are using.
MacBook Pro with Retina display (13-inch) scaled resolution choices
MacBook Pro with Retina display (15-inch) scaled resolution choices
iMac (Retina 5k, 27-inch, Late 2014) scaled resolution choices
Retina displays only use scaled resolutions rather than specific resolution settings like external displays. If you need to use a different resolution than those available on the built-in display, consider attaching an external display via HDMI or Thunderbolt.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Losing Display Resolution on Sleep or Reboot

We have 176 Mac Mini's with ViewSonic VA1703WB 17" WideScreen displays. The Mini's run OS X 10.4.10 and Boot Camp Windows XP. The Mini's are used in a computer lab where they spend most of their time in "sleep" mode until we activate them for an exam. Even though we built our image with the Display (VA1703WB-Series) detected and the proper resolution (1440x900), the Mini's will not retain those settings. Eventually when a Mini wakes up, the display resolution will be reset to 800x600 or some other incorrect setting, and the display detected will be just "Display" instead of "VA1703WB-Series". The only way we've been able to get the display detected again is to disconnect it, power off/on and reconnect the display. What is happening and what can we do to fix it?

That's not typical behavior. Is there any way you can try a different monitor, or better still different monitors (plural) to see if the mini behaves in a more expected manner when connected to a different display? This could help to tell you if there is something about the mini's configuration, like some kind of software installed on all of them, that is interfering with normal operation, or if the problem lies with the display.
Here is one guess I have about what might be happening. When the mini sleeps, the Viewsonic is likely going into a low energy state of its own. There is a ROM inside modern computer displays that holds driver data called EDID that the Mac relies on to identify the display and administer compatible timings. The DDC spec calls for the host system (mini) to be able to power the ROM from a +5VDC pin on the video connector rather than the power supply coming from the display. I suspect this might not be properly implemented in the Viewsonic so that what happens is as follows:
- Mini comes out of sleep state.
- Mini checks for EDID data to see if a new display has been attached.
- Since ROM isn't powered (display in low energy state) and the mini can't itself power it, mini cannot properly identify the Viewsonic.
- Mini outputs generic, default timing.
If you can demonstrate that the mini's work correctly with other displays attached, then you have a good case against Viewsonic to replace or repair their monitors which are not compliant with the DDC standard. Of course this is all speculation, but it's a hint where to look.
