How do you change the Screen Resolution?

I can not figure out how to change the resolution on my screen. Everything is much smaller than what i would like and would like to enlarge everything. There is a simple way of doing this with a PC but i have not been able to figure it out on a macbook pro.

Go to System Preferences (under the Apple menu) and click on the Displays pane. If your machine is set for "Best for Display" tick the "Scaled" button and mess around with the different resolutions until you find one to your liking.
Good luck,
Clinton

  • How do you Change the Tick Resolution?

    How do I change the quarter-note tick value? Like quarter note = 120, 240, or 480 ticks. Is there a global setting somewhere for that? Thanks!

    Here's my workaround for non-destructive sample-accurate audio editing in the arrange window:
    Create a seperate region containing the edits you wish to make. (the smaller, the better.) Bounce this region to a new audio file. Open a new logic song. Before importing, change the tempo to 9999.0000, the meter to 4/1, and the division to 192. This results in a resolution of 31,996.8 ticks per second. Not quite 44.1, but enough to edit frequencies up to 16 kHz.
    Depending on the length of the region, you may want to increase the length of the song to 536 measures, the longest at this meter. This gives you a maximum region length of just over 51 seconds. Set your Snap to ticks. Then, make you track settings, import, and snip away.
    This gives you some undo and crossfades so you can audition and re-do your precise edits. When you are finished, bounce and re-import to your original song and replace the original region.
    Note: On my system, I have about 5 seconds of playback before I get an error message relating to synchronizing audio and MIDI, but it's enough to audition the edit/fade.

    I'd like to know how to do this, too. I tried fiddling with the "ScreenGraphics.bean" in the JavaFX\javafx-sdk1.2\emulator\toolkit-lib\devices\QwertyFxPhone directory, but without success.

  • Is there any way to change the screen resolution in Front Row?

    Hi all,
    I've got a Mac Mini plugged in to my TV, and I want to be able to change the screen resolution depending on the content I'm watching (as some content is in 4:3 aspect ratio, some is in 16:9, and I'd prefer to have the picture filling the screen completely). Unfortunately, the TV doesn't have a "stretch" mode for making an 4:3 picture fit a 16:9 aspect ratio. If I know what I want to watch in advance, I can set the resolution accordingly using system prefs on the mac, but if I'm just sitting back choosing what to watch with the Apple Remote, it's annoying to have to leave front row, walk over to the computer and change resolution once I've decided what to watch, open system prefs, change resolution, re-launch Front Row and find what I wanted to watch again.
    So I was wondering if anyone had figured a way to allow the screen resolution to be switched from within the FrontRow UI. I've seen that people have written python based plug-ins such as PyeTV and Understudy that allow different types of content to be added to FrontRow, but I've not found any utility plug-ins such as what I'm looking for on the net (nor could I find SDK documentation on this API in the stuff that comes with XCode).
    I guess the other approach might be quick keys: has anyone had any success hooking up quick keys macros alongside front row in response to apple remote events? (seems too few events to be able to choose from, but I've never tried it, so I won't assume!) Or how about is there a way to trigger an AppleScript from within Front Row? And, of course, I'm very open to any other ideas you might have!
    Thanks very much in advance for any ideas on this.
    Andy

  • How can you change the display size on the task bar

    how do you change the display size on the task bar

    If, however, you want to change the size of the display of the menubar, meaning make the icons and text larger, there is no way to do that directly other than to change the resolution of the screen.
    You can change the as-viewed size of that temporarily by using either -
    • Mouse zoom - if you have a Magic Mouse (Apple wireless mouse), hold down the Control key and use the scroll up and scroll down finger gestures on the mouse.
    • Zoom - go to System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing and turn on Zoom. You can also use the noted keyboard shortcut to enable/disable this Zoom feature.

  • How do I change the printer resolution?

    How do I change the printer resolution on my OSX 10.6.2 laptop?
    I have an ubuntu print server and it seems to only work at all using the gutenprint drivers. On my ubuntu client I had to change the print resolution from "auto" to 600x600 to make it work just fine.
    The best I can do is make the Mac print pages squished down to 1/4 size. I don't see the same resolution option on the Mac.
    Mac OSX 10.6.2
    Ubuntu Server 9.10
    Printer: Canon S900
    Cups driver: Canon S800 Gutenprint v5.2.3
    Cups version 1.4.2 on the mac
    Cups version 1.3.9 on Ubuntu Server
    Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.6.2)

    I can't speak for the printer directly, but most functions to change resolution are in the dropdown menu at the bottom of the print dialog. It has a gray bar running through it separating the basic functions from the advanced settings.
    If you don't see that, but do see a blue button with a black triangle pointing down, click on that. Then you'll be able to set the advanced settings.
    Once you set up the printer the way you like, save it as a preset. If you want that as a default, see this [MacOSXHint|http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20100125135830153].

    Jerry,
    Thanks for replying again. I've got a little bit further thanks to you. I tried the US keyboard layout as you seemed pretty definte that it should work. This time I applied the setting and also started the language toolbar and selected it from there.
    Hey presto, I've got the @ where it should be. Excellent.
    However the single quote ' works in a weird way. When I press it, it doesn't show up on the screen. But when I press another key, I get the single quote plus the next key I press. When I press the single quote twice, I get 2 of them. This is also the same with the SHIFT ' key. i.e. for the double quotes.
    Very strange. I'll look at other keyboards and see where that gets me.
    Thanks,  Maz

  • HOW DO YOU CHANGE THE WINDOW SIZE OF EBUSINESS SUITE ON STARTUP

    HOW DO YOU CHANGE THE WINDOW SIZE OF EBUSINESS SUITE ON STARTUP
    How do you change the window size for Ebusiness Suite after you log in. Currently it displays at 100% of the screen. I want to set it smaller, at some %

    I don't know if there is a way to set this. Some user's may prefer different sizes of window, depending on their job duties. For example, we have 170 Systems document management integrated with purchasing and payables so users shrink the Oracle window to fill about 60% of the screen while 170 uses the remaining 40% to display the scanned document.
