IBook screen resolution

Does anyone know what the highest screen resolution is while using an external display on an iBook g4. I am wanting a larger monitor, at least a 20", but if the resolution is limited to 1024x768, then it is pointless. Does anyone know if the iBook supports a higher resolution on external displays?

The iBook's firmware only allows the use of mirroring on an external display, which limits the maximum resolution on it to 1024x768 unless a firmware hack is applied, which isn't supported by Apple and may void the iBook's warranty.

Connecting Samsung 913n monitor to ibook -screen resolution?

Hi,
I've bought a new monitor - Samsung 913n - and want to connect it to my ibook. No joy so far!
I have the adaptor and there seems to be a link between them, as the monitor says I've lost the signal when I unplug the adaptor.
One possibility seems to be that there is not an option for the correct screen resolution when I go to the Display preferences. The monitor is 1280 x 1024, but I only have three options which are all smaller than this.
I have reinstalled my system software but no luck.
Any help appreciated!

Hi, Nikki. Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You are stuck with the screen resolution of the iBook. There is no way to increase it. Sorry.

ILife '04 without 1024x768 iBook screen resolution

Hi all,
I recently upgraded my desktop system to the iMac G5, and with that being said, I have some of my purchased software for the eMac left over.
So after restoring said eMac to factory defaults (thus returning me to a zero count status for single-use software licensing agreements), I thought about installing iLife '04 onto my iBook. (366 MHz graphite, no FireWire - see specs below)
(installation from the CD, not the DVD)
Only problem is that the original clamshells (tangerine, blueberry, graphite) only support a resolution of up to 800x600.
Has anyone installed iLife '04 on a clamshell iBook having this lower-than-minimum resolution? If so, what are the implications of such?
(not counting the elimination of the iDVD and GarageBand apps)
Just wondering - thanks!
Steve
eMac G4 800 MHz, 512 MB RAM Mac OS X (10.3.9) iBook G3 366 MHz (clamshell), 576 MB RAM, Mac OS X 10.3.9

There is a workaround: When you click on the iLife install package (only for selecting, not starting the application)
And then go to the finder menu and look for "show original" (I don't know the exact words because I have a german OS X)
Then you will get a bunch of install packages for iDVD, iMovie, Garageband, iPhoto.
iPhoto will work for sure, but at first startup it complains about the screen resolution, you can ignore it.
You can install even Garageband, it plays simple songs with a few instruments flawlessly. I've tested it out with a USB keyboard as well.
There is a iMovie 3 hack for running this programm too:

Screen resolution options in Mini

I'm sorry to post a speculative question.
I'm planning to get a Mac mini shortly. I have assumed that the Minis have very flexible display options and I will able to set a screen resolution that matches a monitor's aspect ratio of 16:10 without distortion of loss of screen territory. Would this be right?
The background: I've just bought a low end 19" widescreen monitor in preparation for the Mini, thinking I can use it on my old G4 iBook in the meantime. The iBook doesn't have a wealth of display options (only 3), so I'm getting 1024x768 resolution on the external monitor which results either in an image stretched sideways or a band of unused monitor either side of the screen image. OK, but I want to make full use of the monitor with the Mini.

Sure,
The Mini deals with the 16:10 aspect ratio quite well. You'll probably see small black horizontal bars when watching 16:9 aspect ratio movies, which is a good thing, I think, and better than stretching the movie to fill the 16:10 aspect ratio. Otherwise, windows and other stuff appear just fine.
Your low-end 19" monitor is probably a 1680 x 1050 resolution, like the Dell 20.1" 2005FPW (16:10) I'm currently using with my Mini is. And believe it or not, at that size and resolution, our monitors are of a higher resolution and pixel density than a 23" monitor at 1950 x 1080 (16:9), or a 24" monitor at 1950 x 1200 (16:10).
That is to say, that picture sharpness will appear better at the right distance, because the PPI and dot pitch is better, even though the resolution is stated as being lower on the smaller monitors.
Does that mean that smaller is better? Maybe for some, it is. But I'm currently waiting for a new and well-priced NEC at 23", 1950 x 1080 (16:9), which will probably begin shipping in a week or two.
Here's a link to a cool Display Dimensions Calculator that somebody pointed out to me, recently:
http://thirdculture.com/joel/shumi/computer/hardware/ppicalc.html
So, try it out. You'll probably see how sharp a low-end, smaller monitor really is.
Peace to you,

DB does not look the same in different screen resolutions

Hi All -
I have built my dashboards using the Windows screen resolution 1024 x 768, and exported the dashboard into powerpoint. With this resolution the dashboard looks normal. I then changed my Windows screen resolution to 1280 x 1024, opened the ppt slideshow and my X-axis labels are being cut off. The labels are written vertically (ex: 06/09/09).
Does anyone know why this could be happening?
Thanks!
Tracy

I am experiencing the exact same thing. The width of the tabs in the layout editor is varied depending on the length of the text. However, at run-time, the width of the tabs is fixed, causing the tabs to be wider than the window and a set of VCR buttons to appear in the upper right corner of the canvas. Personally, I think this is a Forms bug. Why would they intentionally let us set the width to variable at design-time only to force a fixed width at run-time?

Unable to Change Screen Resolution in Remote Session - Windows Server 2012 R2

Does anybody know of a way to allow Remote Desktop users to adjust their own screen resolution in a remote session under Windows Server 2012 R2? We are struggling with this and can't seem to find a solution.
When users login to their RDP session and try to adjust their screen resolution this message is displayed in Control Panel:
"The display settings can't be changed from a remote session."
We don't want to use the "make text and other items larger or smaller" scaling feature, as this produces undesirable results with some of our applications. We also don't want to have to support multiple types of RDP clients or RDP shortcut
files.
We have looked at other posts but can't find an answer that applies to Windows Server 2012 R2. The closest thing we could find is KB2726399, but it only applies to Server 2008.
Does anybody have a solution for Server 2012?
Thanks

Hi,
Currently you cannot change the resolution from within the session. This is normal and expected behavior.
Unfortunately this means you need to set the desired resolution before connecting by using custom .rdp files, manually within the Remote Desktop Client, custom web launch page, custom windows launch program, etc.

Using Mini DisplayPort to VGA, screen resolution distorts. How do I fix?

When I use my Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter, the resolution gets too big for my screen (mbpro 15") and the same thing appears on the projector I use. I'm not sure if I should change my screen resolution while I use the projector or what?
Also, the first (and only) time I used it, it seemed as if the signal wouldn't even send. After a while of fiddling around, the screen finally showed up on the projector (distorted) but we didn't do anything different to change that. It just kind of did it on it's own. Is this common for "first uses" or will this happen every time?
I plan on using this again Friday.

Welcome! If you have mini displayport, you should try the appropriate discussion group for your newer machine:

How to turn off "screen resolution" warning in iPhoto?

I am running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 on a Mac mini (Late 2012), 2.3 GHz, 4 GB memory, iPhoto version 9.5.1 (902.17). I get the "screen resolution not optimal for iPhoto" warning repetitively about once every 15 minutes as long as iPhoto is running. I have set the resolution to my preference and I don't mind seeing this warning once when I start iPhoto, but it gets annoying. How can I set iPhoto to stop doing this?

I am running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 on a Mac mini (Late 2012), 2.3 GHz, 4 GB memory, iPhoto version 9.5.1 (902.17). I get the "screen resolution not optimal for iPhoto" warning repetitively about once every 15 minutes as long as iPhoto is running.
Is there a reason, why you do not update to the Yosemite compatible version iPhoto 9.6? I never get the warning, you are reporting, if the iPhoto window can fit the screen, with MacOS X 10.10.2 and iPhoto 9.6.1.

How can I resize my Flash site to fit any screen resolution?

I built a 100% flash site with tiled framing but I have a
problem. My flash was built 766 x 750 pixiels. When viewed at
resolutions greater than 1024x768 the webpage looks great but
anything less than that it looks like @#$@. I know most people
probably view at 1024 x 768. Is there anyway to auto resize based
up on screen resolution or something to detect the screen size and
adjust the webpage accordingly.

tlcarl,
> I know most people probably view at 1024 x 768.
You think so? Even if they have their resolution that high
(which is
fairly standard, nowadays), do you think most people maximize
their browsers
to fill that whole area?

There is, indeed. :) Check out the Stage.onResize event in
the
ActionScript 2.0 Language Reference. That event is dispatched
when the
browser (or whatever container) is resized -- in cases where
the SWF is
embedded with percentages. If that's your aim, you'll need to
code against
that event, which can be done like this ...
http://www.quip.net/blog/2006/flash/how-to-position-movie-clips-browser-resizing
It can take a bit of thought, depending on the complexity of
your goal,
but the result is usually worth it. The site in your URL is
already built,
so this wouldn't do much of anything without opening the
hood, so to speak,
and completely rebuilding the engine. A Flash movie has to be
designed and
programmed to respond to the Stage.onResize event.

Itunes 11 keeps changing my screen resolution

I too am an itunes 11 sufferer! Everytime I run it, it alters my screen resolution - I'd happily upgrade to the older, better, bug-free version that I was running before,but am afraid i might lose my library of music.
In trying to find a solution online i can't believe the number of issues with Itunes 11 that have cropped up. Does Apple really despise its customers so much and hold them in such low regard that they could bring out such a flawed piece of software?
Does anyone have a solution to having to reset the screen resolution everytime I use iTunes?
Thanks,

You can resize any window by grabbing (click-hold) the three little lines in the bottom right corner and move it up or down, right or left.
Is this what you mean?
BTW... the resolution of 1280 x 800 is what you would normally set your screen to.

EHP1 Upgarde Monitor screen resolution problem in a support message

Hi Experts,
We have recently upgraded our Solution manager to EHP1, iam facing a screen resolution problem with 15 inch monitors.
Our key users have 15 inch monitors to their system and when they try to reply a support message under transaction data-> Overview tab -> reply it is showing only one line for them , due to which they are unable to enter the complete data in it.
How ever We have found that this does not occur with 17 inc monitors as the required screen resoution 1280* 1024 is possible due to bigger size of the monitor.
can any one suggest how to make the overview tab visible completely with small resolution monitors.
Thanks

Screen Resolution trouble on Toshiba Satellite l775-s7307after reinstallation of Windows 7

I was having troubles. Had browser malware that couldn't be contained, and I had other issues, such as, getting the blue screen of death on a regular basis.....I wiped the HD, and reinstalled Windows 7-32 bit, and downloaded and installed all the drivers for this model from the Toshiba website, but I seem to be struggling with readjusting my screen resolution to where it should be....It won't set any higher than 1024 x 768.
Any ideas?

In the future, I'd recommend performing a system recovery rather than reinstalling a clean copy of Windows. A system recovery will include all applicable software.

Xorg 1.6, nvidia and screen resolutions

I just upgraded to xorg 1.6 from testing, including the nvidia drivers and kernel from testing. Everything is working great (and it fixed the libxi keyboard layout problems I was having), except that I can no longer select the screen resolution I want from the nvidia-settings application. The set of resolutions is very limited and I'm getting a horizontal stretch due to an incorrect aspect ratio.
I've tried manually adjusting the xorg.conf file after saving it in nvidia-settings, but it makes a mess of the file and I couldn't get it working. Does anybody know how to add screen resolutions into the nvidia-settings application?
Thank you!
Darin

Happened to me with most recent 1.5 update, I downgraded back to previous one to get working again. And now same happened with 1.6, this time I downgrade again without any further testing until someone else gets it solved
