How can I set a custom resolution on a MacbookAir for an external monitor?

I've been trying to set a custom resolution on my macbook air for an external monitor but the only options displayed are 1280x1024 and 800x600. How can I bring up more options? Thanks!

Your Mac sets those resolutions (and the display NAME) based on the information your display provides when a query is sent at Startup. If those are the only resolutions shown, then your display has said that is all it can do.
What display is this, and what Interface is being used?
This pane will tell you more about what the display has reported:

  • Hi Edge community,  How can I set a custom colors

    Hi Edge community,
    How can I set a custom colors & font size
    to the Adobe Edge Animate CC 2014
    work space (stage, time lone, tools, etc...)
    to get something close to this?

    Thanks a lot for Your time and help.

    Hi Robyn_cpl,
    thanks for the useful link - based on this I decided to
    purchase the PDF of Adobe Edge Animate: The Missing Manual
    by Chris Grover. Good book indeed, work space panels resizing
    and docking are covered, but there is nothing on colors&fonts...
    I've been searching  intro's, tut's, forums on Edge, but no hint
    on this... But I keep searching You Tube, Google, etc...
    I'm intended to submit the subject to Adobe Edge Support.
    Thanks again for Your attention

  • How can I set the polarity / range of NI 6014 for 0.0V - 10V?

    How can I set the polarity / range of NI 6014 for 0.0V - 10V?

    Nilton,
    The NI 6014 only has bipolar (10V to -10V) mode available, not unipolar (10V to 0V). Look into our E Series boards for both unipolar and bipolar operation.

  • How can I set default printer options on an iMac for an HP pro 8500 printer to print in draft mode?

    How can I set default printer options on an iMac for an HP pro 8500 printer to print in draft mode?

    When you use the Canon driver, the 2 sided printing is set in a different location. There is an entire menu dedicated to it (at least on my mx892). The printer dialog box has a menu selector in the middle of the screen (I think it says "layout" by default). If you click on it, you will see the duplexing options at the bottom. Much more flexibility than the single checkbox available with "airprint". The interface is unusual (at least for me) but you can pre-set up many different configurations (Fast Duplex, Fine Single-sided, B&W, Photo, etc etc.)

  • How can I set the CS5 to Intuos Pro Large for changing brush size and opacity and others?

    How can I set together  to  my PS5 or Ps6 in order to change brush size and opacity at the Intuos Pro Large?

    The MTU setting on the interface is the layer 3 packet size. In this case, the MTU is set to 1500, but the largest frame size transmitted on the interface (including layer 2 headers) is 1516. It sounds like you are experiencing another problem at the LES.

  • How can I set the timebase in the FPGA API for the NI 9853 CAN module?

    Hallo,
    is there anybody familiar with cRIO, especially the NI CAN 9853 Modul?
    When starting communication with a CAN Bus  you can get a receiving CAN Frames from the FPGA I/O Node with a timestamp.
    How can  I set  this  timebase in the CAN Controller, because the CAN communication starts every time with the same timebase.
    Compared to the CAN API  on a PC the timebase for the communication is set when the Open Frame API VI is used?
    From that time the CAN Contoller assume the timebase from the PC.
    Whats about the FPGA API?
    Martin

    Hallo Dirk,
    thanks you
    for your answerer regarding my question.
    The last
    question belongs to my intention, to get absolute Timestamps from the NI 9853
    CAN interface. As you said it always starts from zero when starting the
    application.
    For my application
    I would like to get a timestamp with the local time I start the CAN communication
    and every CAN Frame should be logged with the Timestamp it is actually send on
    the CAN BUS.
    How can I achieve
    it?
    My first
    thoughts were to add up the timestamp for every CAN Frame counted from zero to
    an absolute Timestamp when starting communication. But I have got some wrong values.
    Maybe I did something wrong using the high and low part of the Timestamps I got
    from the CAN API.
    Do you have
    a suggestion for me?

  • How can I set a custom Home Page while ALSO having a New Tab be the default Mozilla Page?

    Why is the "home Page" = to a New Tab page? Why are they linked. I want my.yahoo.com to be my Home Page (currently set properly) but my New Tab page seems to be set to "Conduit" and has a search bar. I have no idea where that came from or how it got set that way. I want to have my current Home Page but make any New Tabs be the Mozilla Default Page with a Google search bar. Is that possible? I am running on Windows XP.

    See also this article about the New Tab page (about:newtab):

    You can check for problems with preferences and try to rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js files and a possible user.js file to reset all prefs to the default values.

  • How can I set a customized view in finder set as standard for ALL folders?

    As I have a large number of folders, I need a specific view in finder: symbol view, sort by program and name. I tried to use this settings as standard for ALL folders, but using the 'set as standard' button does only work for the folder I am in, but not for ALL folders. I even tried to use this settings on the hard disk level in finder, but what ever I tried, it never applies to all folders. The problem occurs on each of my devices and on Yosemite OS 10.10.1. as well as Mavericks 10.9.5. Any ideas on how I can make the 'standard' work on all folders?

    As Vinod says, unique key validator would be fine.
    However, In Gabriel's blog:
    Performing a unique key validation for an attribute that is declared to be unique in the database requires a round trip to the database. This is quite expensive and there is a fast and easy way to work around it.Is false on several fronts:
    1). it's not expensive - it's actually cheaper than the alternative
    2). Unique key validator can require many trips to the DB to validate - it must check all other rows in the EO to ensure there is no duplicate, and all of those rows must be fetched into the middle tier to do the validation: this is expensive.
    The "cheapest" way to do this: unique constraint in the DB

  • How can I set the screen resolution ?

    hello brothers.
    my program works ultimately at 1024/768 screen resolution.
    since I want to make sure that peaple who using that program will see it correct, I want to explicitly change the resolution of the screen.
    how can I do that? please..

    I believe you use the setDisplayMode() method of the GraphicsDevice object to do this.
    If you go to http://www.scottshaver2000.com/ and download the source code to H.E.A.T., you will find a nice example of video mode switching. His game pops up a window showing the available configurations, then lets you select the one you want and switch to it.
    The applicable classes are in his com.sas.gui package: FullScreenJFrame.java and VideoModeSelector.java.

  • How can I set up a smart album that looks for keywords?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm in the middle of a rethink on my image management and am wanting to setup smart albums that will search for and display images that have a certain keyword. When I create a new smart album to do this, I'm only given the ability to choose to search for rating and calendar criteria; the keywords and import session options are greyed out. My images have keywords assigned, so where do I go from here?
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    OK, a step forward. It seems that if I create a smart album it will only look for keywords in the project that it is contained in.
    Perhaps someone can help me then: I keep a collection of albums for each person that is featured in a photograph. These albums are stored outside of the projects that the images are stored in so I can have a collection of images that show person X from all the different shoots.
    What I want to do now is keyword each image with the person's name (as a keyword) and then have a Smart album that will pick out all of their photos from my entire library, not just a certain project. How can I do this?

  • How can I set ne2000 network adapter in Solaris 8 for x86

    I am a beginner. I can not set a ne2000 compatible network adapter(isa) in Solaris 8 for x86.
    I do follows:
    write the file ' /kernel/drv/nei.conf ' with ' name="nei" parent="isa" reg=0x1,0x0300,0x1f interrupts=10 '
    and use the command: drvconfig -i nei --failed
    use the command: drv_add -i nei; devlinks; --there is no the command drv_add
    use the command: touch /reconfigure; reboot
    after reboot, use the command: ifconfig nei0 plumb --failed
    Did I miss something obvious, or what driver should I use?

    After backing up the suspect hard drive, I ran Disk Repair on it and found no problems. Then ran Disk Warrior again and no problems. It is a Hitachi, btw.
    As for the PrefPane issue: Repairing disk permissions on the main volume and on the partition that holds the system did not make any difference.
    Reinstalled the 10.5.8 upgrade, performed safe start and then repaired permissions again. Still getting a blank PrefPane for network.
    Next step is to try and trash the System Configuration plist and Network Interfaces plist.

  • Resolution 1920x1080 not available for an external monitor

    Hi,
    I've just bought a Tv Lcd + Monitor 24 Samsung P2470hn, I have a DisplayPort to DVI adapter and a DVI to HDMI cable to the monitor. But when a I go to System Preferences -> Displays, I only have resolutions up to 1600x900. The monitor supports 1920x1080 but it isn't available. What I'm doing wrong? Could it be the DVI to HDMI cable? The monitor has a DVI input.
    One weird thing is that when I go to System Profiler -> Graphics/Displays I see that the external monitor has this
    SyncMaster:
    Resolution: 1600 x 900 @ 60 Hz
    Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888)
    Main Display: Yes
    Mirror: Off
    Online: Yes
    Rotation: Supported
    Television: Yes
    Note the last item "Television: Yes" could be that the problem? if so how can I change it?
    Thanks
    Gabriel

    I find it very annoying that I have to use MiniDisplay Port to VGA to get 1366x768 or 1920x1080 resolution options in the Display Control Pane. If I use MiniDisplay Port to HDMI, I get some old common resolutions, (some weird ones too like 1344x1024) as well as 720p, 1080i, and 1080p. 1080p would be great, except this is more of a "TV" video input rather than a "PC" monitor input, I either get overscan or underscan (depending on the "Overscan" check box).
    Why, especially since it's all digital with HDMI, doesn't Apple include nice 1:1 Pixel mapping using HDMI? It's very frustrating! I've noticed some, (generally more expensive HDTVs, like my 63" Samsung Plasma), HDTVs will do "Just Scan" (as opposed to "OverScan" or "UnderScan") then the 1080p with HDMI works beautifully.
    All of my VIZIO TVs, I have to use the VGA to get 1:1 Pixel mapping. At least, with a high quality VGA cable (even my 25 foot one from MonoPrice.com that would cost 10 times more at a local store) does convert back to digital (for LCD panel) without noticeable noise and pixel shifting (or ghosting, which I've seen with cheap VGA cables, weird, seeing analog distortions on a digital LCD display, but hey, bad analog in -bad analog looking image out). Plus, unless you have the newest Macs with audio supported through the MiniDisplay Port, you can only get the TV speakers to work with the "PC" VGA input and the "PC" audio input (3.5mm stereo phono jack) next to it. With an HDMI input, the TV will look for audio in the HDMI source and not from the "PC" audio input.
