I can't change the screen resolution no matter what i do

Suddenly i found the screen resolution unsatisfactory so i tried to change it and there were two displays to choose between in display option. as the pictures shows the first display has only two resolution options and the second has many but no matter what i choose and click on apply/ok it doesn't change unless i click on 'Extend my Windows' and it doesn't really change it only changes the resolution option
Edit : i don't know why the pictures didn't show up but here is the link to the 2 pictures :

How to change the screen resolution in the Mobile Emulator

so far we tried the Mobile Emulator in the netbeans, it is alway 240*320, but many real device is WVGA(480*800)
whether does that mean the JavaFX Mobile only support the 240*320?
if not, how can I change the screen resolution of the mobile Emulator, thank you

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.
If anyone knows, please just drop a quick line here!

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.

How to change the screen resolution

Dear All,
Could someone please help and tell me how I can change the screen resolution (i.e. the dimensions of the monitor) in Solaris 10 using CDE?
Regards and thanks a lot for your reply

This site has some instructions on how to do this: http://solaris-x86.org/documents/tutorials/cde.mhtml

Is there a way to make the icon/words larger on the screen without changing the screen resolution?

Is there a way to make the icons/words larger on the screen without changing the screen resolution?

If you right-click in the top of title bar of any Finder window there is an option to un-check 'use small icon size', though toggling between the two makes little difference on my screen.
Another trick is you can zoom the whole screen by holding down the 'control' key and using a two-finger swipe up on the trackpad to enlarge, down to go back to normal.

Yes. Use an iPhone browser, such as iExplorer, to access your iPhone's file system. The screensaver photos are stored here;

Once you locate these files, you can replace the photos with your own or add more to the folders. Do not change the name of the the folder.

I have a mac book air. I felt down and I have broken the screen: several white lines on the screen. Do you know if I can only change the screen? Is it expensive?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Take your MacBook Air to an Apple Store or reseller to have your display replaced. If you want, you can buy the display yourself and install it, but as you can see, that's expensive > http://www.ifixit.com/MacBook-Parts/MacBook-Air-13-Inch-Mid-2012-Display-Assembl y/IF188-083?utm_source=ifixit_guide&utm_medium=guide_intro&utm_content=required_ items&utm_term=macbook_air_13%22_mid_2012

My Apple TV 5.0.2 (4250) changes the screen resolution every 10-15 sec. Is there a way to solve this problem?

Hi, My Apple TV changes the screen resolution every 10-15sec. The device is up to date and video setting are done correctly. It is connected to Philips 42pfl3507. What should I do to solve this issue?
Thanks for your help.

This sounds like a problem beyond resolution.
I'd start by restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds, or resetting it using the reset option under general. You should also try restarting your router.
If that doesn't help, try a restore.
If the problem continues:
Check that the HDMI cable is correctly seated at both ends.
Try disconnecting the cable and connecting it again.
Try another HDMI cable.
Make sure your TV supports 720p (Apple TV 2)
Try the Apple TV with another TV

Upgraded to Windows 10 and now I can't see my two HP w1907 monitors or change the screen resolution

I just upgraded my computer from Windows 7 Professional to Windows 10 Professional. Before the upgrade, I had two monitors. Since the upgrade completed, I no longer have two monitors. I need to figure out how to get two monitors back, as well as how to get the correct drivers for my two HP w1907 monitors installed, so that my system recognizes that I have two monitors. I also need to be able to reset the screen resolution to what I had before (in Windows 7).

Can Automator change my screen resolution?

I kinda ** with scripts, but I've used Automator for some easy tasks earlier.
I'm not sure if it's even possible to make this but hope somebody around here can help me =)
So i use my iPod Touch a lot to check on my computer using VNC (Screen sharing) and sometimes boot it up with iWol, but to make any use of it i need the screen resolution changed. Doing this takes some time when you do it from the iPod or an iPhone.
*So in my case i need an application i can just have on my desktop, start it and my screen will be resized to 640x480, and the best would be if i hit it again it goes back to my normal size 1920x1200 but not so important. I did not find anyway to do this in Automator, I've tried the record function but it never manages to get it 100% right. Anybody got some ideas how to do this?*
Thanks =)
P.S.
If there is some pro scriptwriters out there i got a request:
An application that is automatically started on log-on, runs in the background, notice when screen sharing is being used and will pompt and ask for a resolution change.

How to change the screen resolution in Sparc workstation.

I am using the CDE screen to login. I need to set the screen resolution to 1100*864. How to set?
solaris 10 current setting is 1280*1024.

Specs for Ultra20 machine list ATI graphics as " onboard " chipset and the availability of four (4) other plug-in cards as options.
Depending on the installed graphics card, you must seek different commands, etc. for each change of resolution.
If you do not have the original manuals that accompanied the unit, check Sun`s site for documentation. They list an abundance of info and the " Getting Started " book gives indepth details about setting up the various graphics options for proper use with the various operating systems. .......................

Changed the screen resolution, wont return to original

Hi, i was changing my screen resolution and i made a mistake and choose a resolution that my screen doesnt support, i waited the 15 seconds to return to the normal and nothing happened. I cant seem to set it back to the original.
Appreciate the help!

Turn off your Mac holding the Power button. Then, turn it on and press Command, Alt, P and R keys while your Mac mini is starting, so you will do a PRAM reset. This will reset the screen resolution, so the display should be working
