How can I return to 'default' display parameters?

I opened 'Display' in System Preferences to adjust the brightness of my screen.
Somehow the screen resolution got changed, and there doesn't appear to be any 'return to default' or 'return to previous settings' option.
I now have a display with a 1" border on the left and right (non-adjustable via the mouse) -- also on-screen text doesn't look quite like it did before.
How do I get back to the original settings? (What in fact are the 'original' settings (i.e., factory defaults)?
Thanks!

It seems that as soon as the mouse pointer is dragged over the 'screen resolution' options (on the Display page) they just reset immediately on the spot, without requesting confirmation.
(Universal Access settings were all already selected as you suggested.)
Your welcome. Yeah it just happens sometimes. I always include the universal access part because sometimes when this happens they change too.

    For sideloaded content the nook pulls the metadata from ePub file itself.  I would suggest looking at a program like Sigil or Calibre that will let you edit the metadata in the book to make it appear like you want.
    For the PDF vs ePub - No, that's the way PDFs work (think of them as graphics, not text), wheres ePubs are Web Pages - so  no you can't them to behave exactly alike without converting the files.

  • Hi, how can i return back safari default search engine?

    How can I return back safari default search engine? It has been changed after trying to download adobe flash player.

    You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

  • How can I specify the default tab in a CHM Output?

    My company uses CHM-based help for some of its products. We build the CHM files from RoboHelp 9, and while these CHM files don't really have a full Index attached to them, the Index tab shows up in the output anyway. Unfortunately, we are suddenly seeing that when the CHM file is launched from our program, the Index tab is displayed by default. We'd rather have the Contents tab be the default look, especially considering that the Index does not exist.
    I have poked around into how you can specify a default tab for a CHM file, and the only information I have found suggests that using a CHM file creates a file (HH.dat) that specifies which tab should be displayed on a user-by-user basis, and that the last tab displayed when you close the CHM should be the first one displayed when you re-open it. While this is true if you open the CHM independent from the product, when you launch it from our program, it's all Index, all the time.
    So, my question is: How can I specify the default tab for a CHM file? Or, failing that, how can I excise the Index tab from my CHM output.

    Hi there
    This will be something up to your application developer to resolve. When s/he issues the call to open the CHM, there are parameters that may be used to always open with the desired tab "in front".
    Point your developer to the link below and advise that s/he is most likely interested in the section titled: Programming Tips.

  • How can I return in a native method a Java type?

    How can I do this?
    Java code:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    code:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    return ???????
    how can I return in C an object like jawa.awt.Dimension?
    Thx
    Ronny

    Here is my 2 cents for a way we pass data between Java and C via the Java Native Interface. This excerpt is an example of passing an int value through a locally created Integer wrapper class, which must be adapted for local use. Note that because of the wrapper, return values are not needed.
    1. Create the Java class file.
    * This class encapsulates a Java <CODE>int</CODE> primitive.
    * This class was created to allow programmers to change
    * the value of an existing integer object without being
    * forced to create a new object (as is the case with the
    * Java Integer object).
    public class LocalInteger
         private int     value;
         * Creates a LocalInteger object and initializes
         * it to <I>0</I> (the default in Java).
         public LocalInteger ()
              super ();
         * Creates a LocalInteger object and initializes
         * it using the given <I>int</I> value.
         * @param i Integer value to use in initializing
         * the object.
         public LocalInteger (int i)
              super ();
              value = i;
         * Gets the value of the object.
         * @return The value of the object.
         public int getValue ()
              return (value);
    2. Create the jni header file.
    DLL_EXTERN void jni_GetValue_from_LocalInteger(int* LocalInteger, JNIEnv *env, jobject thisLocalInteger);
    3. Create the C file.
    /*start of jni header****************************************
    *NAME/TITLE:       jni_GetValue_from_LocalInteger
    *DESCRIPTION:      This routine copies the integer value
    * from the Java LocalInteger object to the
    * C 'int' variable.
    *CALLING SEQUENCE: jni_GetValue_from_LocalInteger (LocalInteger,
    * env,
    * thisLocalInteger)
    *PARAMETERS:
    * Type Name I/O Description
    * int * LocalInteger I/O C variable
    * JNIEnv * env I JNIEnv pointer
    * jobject thisLocalInteger I Java object
    *RETURN:           N/A
    **end of header*********************************************/
    /* ********************** BEGIN CODE ********************** */
    DLL_EXPORT

  • How can I get iTunes to display the tracks from a CD in their original (album) order?

    To be absolutely honest, I don't really understand what this box is for, so I shall just use it to repeat and expand on my question. (I have already sent a "Feedback" comment on the same topic).
    How can I get iTunes to display the tracks from a CD in their original (album) order?
    It seems to me that there is something very basic wrong with the way iTunes handles CD Tracks.
    Professionally produced CD tracks are seldom if ever in a randomised order. Why then does iTunes seem unable to display the tracks in the order they appear on the original CD source - whether from a personally owned CD or from a download from the iTunes Store?
    Some music demands a specific, non-alphabetic sequence in order to make sense. Why does it seem that iTunes only offers Alphabetic, or reverse alphabetic order - both of which make a nonsense of the original, often intended order of tracks?
    Why not replace the so-called "cover-art" in the bottom left hand corner if the iTunes window - which, while it may look attractive to some, gives the barest of information concerning the original disc, with a list of the original CD tracks in their original order, so that the user can easily reestablish the order in which they should be played.
    As I would expect legibility might be a problem with doing this, why could not the original contents, (in their original order), at least, be displayed when the "cover art" is double clicked-on - the result of which at present gives me an enlarged version of the "Cover Art". While on the subject of the contents of the source disc, what about all the album notes which someone takes trouble to write in order to increase the appreciation of the music on the CD and the listener's general background knowledge of the artists involved. Such notes, it seems to me, have considerable intrinsic value in their own account. I would, I think, normally be prepared to buy such "Sleeve notes" - so long as a "taster" was supplied (as it is for the music) - for something like the cost of a single 'Tune" on iTunes.
    These two aspects let Apple iTunes down enormously, in my opinion. I think that by chopping even quite protracted sequences of music up into bits does no one any favours - except perhaps Apple's already quite substantial bank balance. People have to be aware that two and a half, to three and a half minutes is a very short time to develop a piece of worthwhile music, and that there are many, many composers, not all of whom are alive today who have written music that huge masses of mankind value for the enrichment of their lives and the human condition in general.
    Please make the viewing of iTunes tracks in their correct order by default possible. By all means have the alphabetical variations available as offering a different approach to the music, but not the sole approach to it - PLEASE.
    Frustratedly yours
    Alan Whitaker
    PS I work at my old 24" iMac Intel Core 2 machine which runs OS "Tiger" - because it is more beautiful to look at, the screen is more pleasant to work on, and because, in some ways it is more capable (it will run FreeHand MX without needing a "patch"), than my more recent 21.5" which runs "Snow Leopard". (I don't find it that much slower, either).

    Dear Mike
    Thanks for the support. I am utterly amazed that after all the hype about how good iTunes is that it cannot play a downloaded CD in the correct order, and that what that order should be is not available directly from within one's own iTunes installation. (I know that one can go back to the iTunes Store to check what the order should be, but having downloaded the tracks surely iTunes is clever enough to retrieve this important information.
    My iTunes to differ from yours in that I have also noticed that it seems unable to download copies of my "talking books" in the correct order either. But in my case it downloads them - from a CD - in order, but with the first track downloaded first - so that it appears at the bottom of the column of tracks so that it would get played last! (At least this is, while being inexplicable, a relatively "logical" bit of blundering and because of this is relatively easy to put right!).
    I like many genres of music, some of which are not really programmed except perhaps by the artist performing them. I know that Frank Sinatra was very careful to programme his album songs to obtain a particular effect and in relation to the keys of the music. iTunes presumes to know better.
    Film scores may be totally randomly put together, in some cases, but in others the order is vital to one's appreciation of the music as a whole and how it relates to the plot of the film.
    In symphonic music most works are divided into sections and are conceived by the composer that way. Some individual sections may gain a life of their own if played separately, but they are never complete in the sense that the composer envisaged them without being placed in their proper context.
    Opera and probably most choral music too, is similar except that the words may well become meaningless if the order is changed at the whim of a piece of ill-written computer code, while ballet music has to be heard totally within its sequential context or it becomes meaningless.
    Finally, I would venture that iTunes, by jumbling up the order of the tracks as recorded on a CD, does an immense disservice, not only to the music on a particular CD, but to music in general, by expressing everything in terms of "Songs" - which it seems to interpret as stand-alone items of between 2 and 4 minutes whatever the genre. Even the way the iTunes publicity speaks of how many "songs" it can store instead of how many minutes or hours of recorded sound. This has to be another brick in the wall of "dumming-down" of people's expectations, and the shortening of their attention spans.
    I don't know about anyone else, but I feel betrayed by Apple over this. Perhaps the look, feel and general presentation of an item are not the most desirable features of a consumer product. Maybe it should be judged more on it fitness for the purpose for which it was sold. There is one other possibility - that Apple are trying to redefine "Music" - and that everything that lasts longer than about 3.5 minutes or is in the form of what could for want of a better term be called symphonic in the broadest sense is something else - not "Music" within Apple's new definition, at all!
    Well that's off my chest! now I can get down to creating some sort of order in my iTunes Libraries, knowing that I have to reconsult all the sources in order to confirm the source playing order.
    Anyway thanks again. At least I know that it is not just me

  • How can I return to the top of an array indicator

    I have in my UI a 1D array indicator that I will navigate to and populate with different lists of items depending on other selections.  Always text elements.
    I have limited the number of visible rows to 20 max even though some lists will contain dozens if not hundreds of elements while others may have less than 10.  Problem is, if I scroll down the list for one population, then come back and the next list happens to have only 10 elements, the scroll bar is still way down where I had scrolled to earlier.  It is basically showing unpopulated positions in the array. (Not blank list items)
    How can I return the scroll position back up to the first element in the array when I populate it with a new list?  I looked through every property node and could find nothing.  Seems like there should be a method to refresh the display or it should go back to the top when you write a new value to it.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks
    Doug
    "My only wish is that I am capable of learning each and every day until my last breath."

    Index Values, I think, is the property you are looking for.  Set the index to 0 to be at the top.

  • How can I return the current Date in Java?

    I am new to Java, and basically I want to know how I can return the current date as a variable, so for example, I have declared the following date variable
    private java.util.Date currentDate;How can I return the current date, do I have to write a method? To be more specific, I need to write a setMethod, that simply returns the current Date in Java.
    Please point me in the right direction.
    Thanks,

    If all you want is a date for printing or displaying, the easiest way is to use Date as shown below. If you need something more complex, look at the Calendar API.
    import java.util.Date;
    class DateEx
         public static void main(String args[])
              Date now = new Date();
              System.out.println(now);

  • How can I reset the DEFAULT zoom view in Firefox at 125%, like IE, so I don't have to reset it every time ?

    How can I reset the DEFAULT zoom view in Firefox at 125%, like IE, so I don't have to reset it every time ?
    I have seen this question asked previously and it seems there is no answer.
    I know that one can change each individual web page (that reset defaults back to 100%) and, alternatively and apparently one can load an add-on to fix the default size at Full Zoom.
    ... But any hints on how to achieve a DEFAULT 125% zoom would be much appreciated.

    Press CTRL + 0
    Have you tried Firefox's zoom feature? Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages
    You can "zoom" all sites using this add-on: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2592/ NoSquint]. After setting your global zoom level, you can still fine-tune the zoom on individual sites.
    After installing NoSquint, click the % on the Add-on Bar to call up site preferences, then click the Global Settings button, then the Zooming tab.
    If you don't have the Add-on Bar displayed, you can right-click the new tab button ("+") or a blank area of the tab bar to the right of it and choose Add-on Bar from the shortcut menu.
    You can experiment with sizes larger than 125%, but I wouldn't go much higher than 150% unless you have a large high-resolution monitor.
    If there are particular sites that still present a problem, feel free to post their URLs.
    You can find more information about the zoom features Firefox offers in these articles:
    [[Text zoom]] - For zooming text only
    [[Page zoom]] - For zooming the whole page (including images etc.)

  • Firefox 4.0 has disabled Trendmico Toolbar and 2 other items. How can I return to prior Firefox application?

    I installed new Firefox 4.0 and it automatically disabled Trend Micro tool bar 3.1.1110, Trend Micro NSC Firefox Extension 6.5.0.1234 and HP Smart Web Printing 4.6.0 since they wer "not compatible.
    How can I return to my previous application of Firefox?

    Did you try the add-on compatibility reporter? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/15003/
    Firefox 4.0 beta 1 installs to a separate directory, so unless you uninstalled it, your previous Firefox install should be there. Just find it in the start menu and run it, allowing it to set itself back as the default browser.
    If you did uninstall it, just install it again: [[Installing Firefox]].
    You can but don't have to uninstall 4.0 via Add/Remove Programs

  • How can I change the default fill and stroke colors for new shapes?

    As you can see in the following screen recording, after I change the stroke and fill color, all my subsequent rectangles are created respecting these new colors. But then when I delete all the rectangles, choose the rectangle shape tool once again, and start creating new rectangles, they start getting created with another color I had used some time ago (and I don't know how did it become the default color).
    http://tinypic.com/r/64jrwp/6
    So how can I change the defaults, so that the fill color is say #ddd, and the shape has no stroke at all?
    Thanks.

    When you have the shape tool selected you will see in the tool bar below - file edit etc a fill and stroke. This is where you can change the colours.
    You can keep drawing your shapes like you did in the video but then select the rectangle and change the colour from this tool bar. The reason it changes will be because you changed the colours you were using (foreground / background) that display in the left side tool bar.
