How can I add display resolutions?

I upgraded my Mac Mini to Maverick from OS 10.8. I don't use a monitor instead I use screen share and control it from my MacBook Pro which has OS 10.6.8. My internet speed is 1.5 MBPS. Screen share response is very slow, painfully slow and hard to control. In 10.8, version before Maverick, I was able to set the display preferences of the Mini, which isn't connected to a monitor, to a lower resolution such as 640 x 480. This results in less data that needs to transfer through my network, which speeds up response. With Maverick I only have one display preference option listed. It is 1280 x 1024. I need either a smaller resolution or some other network setting in order to speed up my Screen Sharing response. Maybe I can go into my MacBook library and find where resolution files are stored and copy one into my Mac Mini with Maverick library?

I found one solution for adding resolution settings to Maverick. Without a monitor connected Maverick only offers one setting. There is a free App in the Mac App store called Display Menu. Downloading and installing this on the Mac without a monitor, then from screen share select a lower resolution. Mouse response improves dramatically. Everything from screen share view will look bigger and maybe a little fuzzier because of the lower resolution. It will work good enough for controlling iTunes from a different Mac.

  • How can i add a resolution display on a mac mini?

    hi,
    i have my mac mini currently running without a monitor connected. i control it through screen sharing from my macbook. i just suddenly had the clever idea of setting the display resolution on the mac mini to 1280x800 so i can run it full screen in my macbook.
    only problem is that this resolution is not available (or not displayed) on the display preferences on my mac mini. it only gives me 4 options and is currently running at 1280x1024 (the other options are 800x600, 1024x768 and 1680x1050)
    Is there any way i can 1280x800 resolution on the mac mini?
    Thank you.
    Al.

    Hi,
    thanks for that suggestion, looks like it should have worked but even with all its configurations it will not allow me to add the 1280x800 res to the mac mini, and yes it is completely headless. its set up to be accessed purely through screen sharing on my macbook, i intend to set it up to run a vpn also with vnc access for when i travel away.
    it seems like it should be something really simple, obviously the 1280x800 is a standard size screen!
    any more suggestions??
    thanks.

  • How can I add a second display to my Mac Mini

    How can I add a second display to my Mac Mini (mid 2011). HDTV and standard monitor working simultaneously.

    True ... but that can be tricky.
    Macs can only power so much, and only through approved/proper adapters.
    Running two monitors off a single MDP-to-VGA adapter may not work, because Mac may not nicely exchange-talk the simultaneous signals.
    There is an adapter that will convert a single minidisplayport to two VGA plugs, but that adapter is $100 instead of $30 (for the single) because it has special hardware in the adapter itself to manage the two signals sinultaneously.
    Alternately ...
    Running one through the minidisplayport and one through the HDMI port makes them two separate signals to be processed.

  • How can I add KANNADA(India) as display language on my iphone4?

    how can I add KANNADA(India) as display language on my iphone4? your feedback will be highly appreciated.
    Thank you

    The languages available for displaying the OS are published in the tech specs, and you cannot add new ones:
    http://www.apple.com/iphone-5s/specs/
    The iphone does include a Kannada unicode font, so you should be able to see email and websites, such as
    http://kn.wikipedia.org/wiki/ಮುಖ್ಯ_ಪುಟ
    But there is no Kannada keyboard yet.  Search the app store for "kannada" to see if there is a keyboard app which might be useful for some purposes.

  • 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.

  • How can i add videos,movies and tv shows episodes to my ipod nano?I want to know whether i can directly add them through my pc or not without downloading them from i tunes store?

    how can i add videos,movies and tv shows episodes to my ipod nano?I want to know whether i can directly add them through my pc or not without downloading them from i tunes store?

    Yes, you can add your own videos to iTunes, then sync them to your nano, subject to supported max resolution limit and file type.  The specs for the 7th gen nano says (I don't know which nano model you have), Video Format Support
    "H.264 video: 720 by 576 pixels, 30 frames per second; Baseline, Main, and High-Profile level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 256 Kbps; 48kHz; stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
    MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 Mbps, 720 by 576 pixels, 30 frames per second; Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 256 Kbps; 48kHz; stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats"
    http://www.apple.com/ipod-nano/specs.html
    (earlier nanos have lower max resolution limits)
    So, "HD" video is too high resolution, so iTunes will not sync such videos to the iPod (although they play in iTunes).  If you are asking how to set up iTunes to sync videos in general (regardless of source), please post back.

  • How can i add a new link to Portal favorites?

    Hi,
    I have created a portal application and configured it to a porta frame work page byy adding iViews and portal pages.
    I would like to display an iView as a link in the  portal favorites. I have added it to portal favorites as related link. But nothing is displayed in the portal favorites when i logged in as application user.
    How can i add a link to the created iView just like  the "DeveloperContent" link shown in portal favorites when we login as portal administrator?
    Your help and suggestions solicited...
    Best regards,
    Sudheesh

    Hi Sudheesh,
    The Related Links option is for Content Administrators to add links that they think will be useful for a certain page or iView...an end user can't add their own links to the Related Links iView. Also, you don't need Knowledge Management installed in the Portal for the Related Links iView to work. Also, Related Links will be available only on the pages/iViews that the Content Administrator has created them.
    Read more about Related Links here:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e3/1d37600aa111d7b84700047582c9f7/frameset.htm
    Portal Favorites is a nice option for end users to decide which iViews or pages they would like to be available from every Portal page.
    To open new iViews/pages in a new window, rather than in the current Content Area, adjust the Workprotect mode of the portal (either the user can do it for their preference or the Administrator can do it for everyone):

  • How can I add a new message(custom text message) to the holiday approval em

    How can I add a new message(custom text message) to the holiday approval email-notification sent to the manager?
    TIA

    The answer is 'not very easily', unless the information you want to display is the employee's leave balances. In 12.1.3 Oracle have delivered functionality that allows you to include the leave balances in the approval notifications out-the-box, ie, without customization.
    For any other information you're probably going to have to customize the standard delivered HRSSA workflow. Within this workflow, the Leave of Absence functionality uses the Notify Approver (Embedded) (HR_APPROVER_NTF) notification. The body of this notification is set to the Notify Approver (Embedded) (HR_NTF_EMBEDDED_REGION) attribute. This in turn defaults to:
    JSP:/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?OAFunc=-&HR_EMBEDDED_REGION-&NtfId=-&#NID-
    So essentially you can change the HR_APPROVER_NTF notification. The problem with changing this notification is that it's generic - it's used for all SSHR functions and not just Leave of Absence. That means you have to make other, more substantial, customizations to the workflow to ensure the changes you make only applies to LOA.
    The other option is to personalize the review page (ie, the region referenced in &HR_EMBEDDED_REGION) to include whatever messages you want. But that means they'll appear on the Review page and all LOA approval notifications and that might not be what you want.
    It's usually better to live with what Oracle deliver and find an alternative solution! What's the content of the message you want to include?

  • How can you add a where clause using "OR" with applied ViewCriteria?

    [JDeveloper 10.1.3 SU4]
    [JHeadstart 10.1.3 build 78]
    I am using JHeadstart, but have a question probably more in the ADF area. On the JHeadstart forum I asked:
    "I am overriding JhsApplicationModule's advancedSearch in order to be able to search in childtables. I created transient attributes, display those in advanced search and in the overridden method I check if any of these are filled by the user and create a where clause like 'EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM <childtable> WHERE <column in childtable> = <column in EO's table> AND <another column in childtable> LIKE '<value supplied by user>)'. I add this whereclause using ViewObject.setWhereClause.
    So far so good and it works. However, if the user selects 'Result matches any criteria', combining setWhereClause and the normal advancedSearch QueryByExample implementation using ViewCriteriaRow do not provide the desired result, since the ViewCriteria and the setWhereClause are AND-ed together, which is fine if the user selects the (default) "Results match all criteria" (everything is AND-ed) but not the "Result matches any criteria", since then every criterium is OR-ed together, except for the setwhereclause criteria and the set of ViewCriteriaRows, they are AND-ed.
    I looked if I could specify that a WhereClause will be OR-ed to existing applied ViewCriteria, but no luck. Do I have to rewrite also advancedSearch's ViewCriteria implementation and write an entire setWhereClause implementation to be able to "OR" every criterium? Or any other suggestions? Can I look at the entire Where clause and rewrite it (after applyCriteria and setWhereClause are called on the VO)?
    Toine"
    Sandra Muller (JHeadstart Team) told me today: "This sounds like a JDeveloper/ADF issue that is not related to JHeadstart. The question is: how can you add a where clause using "OR" if there are already one or more ViewCriteria applied?
    To simplify the test case, you could create a simple ADF BC test client class in a test Model project without JHeadstart (in the test class, use bc4jclient + Ctrl-Enter), in which you first apply a few ViewCriteriaRows to a View Object and also add a where clause.
    Can you please log a TAR at MetaLink ( http://metalink.oracle.com/ ), or ask this question at the JDeveloper forum at http://otn.oracle.com/discussionforums/jdev.html ? (This what I am doing now ;-))
    Thanks,

    Anyone knowing the answer or am I asking for an enhancement?
    Toine

    Hi,
    Can you SET your whereclause as follows ?
    ('Y' = <isAnd>
    and EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM <childtable> WHERE <column in childtable> = <column in EO's table> AND <another column in childtable> LIKE '<value supplied by user>))
    OR ('N' = <isAnd>
    AND EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM <childtable> WHERE <column in childtable> = <column in EO's table> OR <another column in childtable> LIKE '<value supplied by user>))

  • How can i add rows to a JTable at run time ??????

    hi there
    how can i add a row to a JTable at run time? and display the table after the change? thank you.

    For adding or removing the rows from the JTable, you have to use the methods on the table model. I would show you a simple implementation of table model.
    public class MyTableModel extends AbstractTableModel {
    private ArrayList rowsList = null;
    private String [] columns = { "Column 1" , "Column 2", "Column 3"};
    public MyTableModel() {
    rowsList = new ArrayList();
    public int getRowCount() {
    return rowsList.size();
    public int getColumnCount() {
    return columns.length;
    public void addRow(MyRow myRow) {
    //MyRow is any of your object.
    rowsList.add(myRow);
    fireTableDataChanged();
    public void removeRow(int rowIndex) {
    rowsList.remove(rowIndex);
    fireTableRowsDeleted(rowIndex, rowIndex);
    public Object getValueAt(int row, in col) {
    MyRow currentRow = (MyRow)rowsList.get(row);
    switch (col) {
    case 0:
    //return the value of first cell
    break;
    case 1 :
    //return the value of second cell
    break;
    case 2 :
    //return the value of third cell
    break;
    }Then create the table using the TableModel using the constructor new JTable(TableModel) and then when you want to add/remove a row from the table, call myTableModel.addRow(MyRow) or myTableModel.removeRow(rowIndex)....I hope that this solves your problem.

  • How can I add the hard drive icon to the menu bar on a MBPr

    How can I add the hard drive icon to the menu bar on a MBPr?  I have downloaded Google Earth and it wants me to drag it to the hard drive for install. I was able to display the icon but now I would like to put it on the menu bar. Is this possible? Or can I add it to the hardware section under system preferences?
    I'm a new Apple user, coming out of the dark ages of a lifetime in the PC Windows world.
    Thanks

    It's on your Desktop, is it not? You cannot put it on the menubar through OS X although you may find third-party utilities that will. If you want it on the Desktop:
    Select Preferences from the Finder's Finder menu and check the desired boxes:
    Click on the Sidebar icon in the toolbar to set what you want displayed in the Sidebar.

    How can you add an image in Mail without being an attachment?
    In otherwords I'd like to put my logo in the email not as an attachment but as an image.
    Is there a simpel solution to this problem?

    You don't.
    It's not possible. The e-mail protocol is designed for text; anything else has to go as an attachment.
    Different mail clients (such as Mail.app, the mail client bundled with Mac OS X) may have different ways of handling such attachments, but they are still attachments. Each mail client has its own rules and methods, so one may display a picture as if it were in the body of the message, but another client may do something completely different.
    A way of faking it is to format your message in HTML (which is a kind of text). The image is hosted on a remote server, not added to the message; instead, you include a link to it in the body of the message, as you would when building a web page. (This is also what the two tips helpfully provided by X423424X do, except that the link to the image is added in the signature, rather than the body of the message.) What exactly happens to it is, again, at the discretion of the mail client. In my case, for instance, displaying images in HTML messages is turned off, and will stay resolutely off.
