Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. 73's

Hi, no idea how to cure it, but have noticed that it sometimes corrects itself, or after doing I don't know what... perhaps toggling the Display res a few ties until it "feels" safe about a certain rez???

Thanks for the advise. I was about to follow your instructions. Then came along another advise which seems to be less risky.
glad you fixed it but FYI resetting PRAM is NOT a risky operation. it's quite on par with just turning the computer off/on. it's an absolutely standard troubleshooting procedure which carries zero risk.
That solved the problem
However, I'm thankful for your effort in trying to help me. And I'll remember that the dvd-region setting will remain after a reset.
Thanks again

MBP Retina Filevault login screen is low resolution all of sudden

Hey guys, so I did the few software updates today to get ready for Mountain Lion and I started to notice that all of a sudden now my filevault enabled login screen (the one that's all grey and you see before even booting up the operating system) is in low resolution! Since i've had my MBPr it's always been in glorious retina resolution, and now it's all low res.
Anybody else encountered this problem or know of any fix? I'd appreciate it!
Best,
Oliver

I've got the same problem on mine after changing the resolution several times. I've just applied 10.8.2 but still have the same issue.
Havent found anybody else seeing the same thing apart from here. I'm going to try de-crypting the Mac and encrypting again to see if that fixes it. There must be some way to change it though.

GT60 3K IPS black borders around the screen on lower resolutions

I've got an MSI GT60 with 3K IPS display and GF880M and although it's a very powerful machine it sometimes isn't fast enough to play the games with the native resolution on high details, therefore in several games I wanted to lower the resolution to get a better experience. However this is where I have a problem, because if I change the resolution in-game what usually happens (80% of the games I've tried) is the screen is getting smaller and I have back borders around it. This is kind of frustrating and I wanted to ask if you know any way of sorting out this issue. I'd like to be able to play a game at 1080P for example but have it stretched to the whole screen.
Some of the games I've observed this behaviour:
1. L.A. Noire
2. Assassin's Creed: Black Flag
3. Far Cry 3
4. Max Payne 3
I've tried lowering the Windows resolution prior to opening the game but it makes no difference. I've also looked at the nVidia Control Panel because some of the versions of the drivers had the option to stretch lower resolution to full screen but in the latest one I couldn't find it.
As the result of this I'm feeling a little frustrated that although the notebook itself is one of the most powerful ones available on the market I cannot play it the way I wanted and I begin to think paying extra for the 3K display was a mistake a I should've gone with the 1080P version. But I hope there's a fix for this issue.

I've found a workaround but it's very annoying as I have to apply it everytime I launch a game (or if I accidently alt-tab back to windows desktop).
1. Run the game and let it launch with the back borders
2. Ctrl+Alt+Del and go to desktop (don't Alt-Tab, it won't work)
3. Open Intel Graphics properties, change the resolution to 3k, apply changes, than change it back to 1080P or whichever you like and mark the Desktop Stretching option. Apply changes.
4. Back to the game and the black borders should now be gone.
It's a workaround, not a solution. I'd really like that MSI, nVidia or whoever is responsible for this behavior find a permament fix.

Photos got low resolution after upgrade

After I upgraded my iPhone, all the photos in my photo library got a very low resolution. They are all fuzzy. Can anyone help?

The main problem is that the photos that i have on my iphone came originally from my PC, and I syncronized them to my iphone a while ago. However i no longer have this computer and therefore only have thoses photos on my iphone ( considering that it isn't possible to syncronize photos that were taken by the iphone to the computer ). When I upgraded my iphone to the iphone 4 , those photos (that were not taken but the iphone, but are stored in the iphone library) have had their quality reduced. I would like to know what happened, and mainly what can i do to get all those photos back, because i do not have them anywhere else.
thanks

Screen recording - recording part of the screen or low resolution

I want to record part of the screen in quick time x, has anybody found a way to do this?
As a work-around, I tried reducing the screen resolution to 640x480 or 800x600 but the recorder doesn't seem to pick anything up at this resolution. After recording nothing happens then when i switch back to full resolution i get the message:
*Recording failed because no data was received.*
Make sure that the media input source is turned on and playing.
Message was edited by: nz_strabo

I am just trying to figure out how to record a screen shot, i dont care if its full or part screen, any advice for me?
Not sure if there is any difference between OS 10.6.1 and 10.6.2, but all I did was select the "New Screen Recording" File menu option and press the record button (circle with red dot in center) to make a test recording which was automatically saved in the Movies folder when the "stop recoding" key shortcut sequence was pressed. As to SnapzProX, it is a commercial program which you can purchase. It allows fullscreen/partial screen recordings and can be set up to record a fixed area of the screen or a fixed size portion of the screen area which follows the cursor around the screen.

Blurry Screen on lower resolutions

I've recently got a ThinkPad T61p from work, and its a great machine, however the native screen resolution comes at 1920 x 1200 which is too much for my eyes ...
whenever I change the resolution to a lower value the screen becomes blurry!
I searched the net but found nothing that could help, i upgraded the nvidia drivers but that didn't do much good either ...
I noticed something though ... in the nvidia control panel, under Display -> Change flat panel scaling
the "use my display's built in scaling" option is grayed out, when i tried to disable scaling all together, the blurryness was gone, but now of course the screen is not filling the display ...
usually there is a scaling option in the system bios so i restarted and went into the bios but found nothing there either ...
does anybody have the T61p with the same probelm ? any known fix ?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

the only option in this case aside to get an external monitor, is change the DPI for text in your computer. For Windows Vista, In the desktop, right click and select 'Personlization option', in the new window, choose in the left panel, the 'Adjust font size (DPI)' and chose 120 DPI instead 96, that means that the text is going to be greather and easy to read but in your current resolution still will be a smal text. you can try to mix this option with the 1680 X 1050 resolution or 1440 X 900 to see if one adjust better to your needs. I hope it's useful.

External pictures only on low resolution after import from iPhoto to Photos

Moved to the new Photos app. All pictures that were in my iPhoto library file are OK but the pictures that were stored outside the library folder are visible only on very very poor resolution (looks like only the thumbnail was imported and shown on full size, very pixelated). This is quite disappointing. Tried the File->Consolidate menu option to copy the picture to the library but that didn't help either.
When I import them again they come back in high resolution, but I got them all nicely grouped into Events in iPhoto and don't want to loose that.

Delete the migrated version, repair the Library with iPhoto and try again.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Blue screen error Windows 7 after June 2014 Windows updates

Hi,
just wondering if someone could help determine the cause of a blue screen error from interpreting the following minidump file. My PC has been having blue screen problems after getting the automatic windows updates recently. Initially the only way I could
get the computer working was to restore the system back to prior to the updates. The updates seem to have now successfully installed but are still causing occasional blue screen errors. I have Windows 7 Home Premium
The minidump is 061614-32666-01 andthe link is as follows:

These crashes were related to memory corruption (probably caused by a driver).
Please run these tests to verify your memory and find which driver is causing the problem.
If you are overclocking (pushing the components beyond their design) you should revert to default at least until the crashing is solved. If you don't
know what it is you probably are not overclocking.
Since it is more likely to be a driver please run verifier first.
1-Driver verifier (for complete directions see our wiki here)
If verifier does not find the issue we can move on to this.
2-Memtest. (You can read more about running memtest here)
If you cannot boot after enabling verifier reboot into safe mode

Screen saver not starting after 10.9.2 update!

After installing the most recent update from Apple, 10.9.2. My screen saver will not start if the time is set to anything higher that 1 minute.
I have done a RAM refresh and all so trtied it with other users on the Mac and it still wont start.
Anybody else having this issue?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

4g ipod touch screen selects random items after 6.1.6 update

HELP!! Immediately after updating 4g ipod to 6.1.6- if i hold my finger on screen like you would to delete an app or to slide a list-- it randomly selects objects. So basically if my finger stays on the screen for longer than i millisecond to move object or something, random objects are selected. And the things selected are never in same area of screen. Example: So if i was to hold my finger on a letter on the keyboard to access a special character: the typing line would be something like "cc tskh   js" then it might hit enter then clear. So basically as long as a hold my finger on the screen it will just randomly do things. Hope that makes sense.

Make sure the screen is clean with no screen protector.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Sharing (Screen and File) broken after 10.9.2 Update

Hey guys. I need the Obi-Wan of Mac gurus to help with this one. This has frustrated me to no end. So here's my issue, and I can't seem to find a solution so my hope is someone here knows what to do!
I have several Macs in the house, and I run my media server on a Unibody Mac Mini. My Drobo is connected to it holding my media files and photos and such. I access it remotely daily. Since updating to 10.9.2 I can no longer file share, screen share, or even connect to the Mac Mini. I CAN however see the Mini in my finder, on the left side, but can't connect to it.
I searched all over, and found SOME solutions from people. Turning off Sharing, rebooting, and then turing it back work for some.
The ONLY solution I got to work was running ONYX and cleaning out the preferences for sharing, and then it did work... For about 24 hours, and then the same connection error happens. Since, I've tried all the tips and running ONYX again, and now I can't get it to connect at all anymore.
Homesharing on my AppleTV works and connects without issue to the Mini.
This will cause me to pull my hair out and go bald, and with my metal hair down my back, I don't want to go bald.
Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi! You're my only hope!

Nothing is wrong with the server. Please take the steps below on the problem client.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.

Laptops do not display On Screen Display volume bar after Hotkeys Features Integration update

Hi,
I have also included most of the following information in response to a post, on the same subject, for T series machines.
I have 2 machines that are also affected by this problem, an R61 (8932-CTO XP-Pro-SP3 32-bit) and an R500 (2714-CTO XP-Pro-SP3 32-bit).
System update recently presented me with Hotkeys version 3.87.0000 on both of these machines, and I let System Update update the drivers in the vain hope that Lenovo had fixed this problem that has been previously reported as affecting many other series and models.
No such luck.
The only difference that I would like to report is that, for me, the last version of the Hotkey Features Integration package that displays the volume bar on my Windows XP machines is: 3.84.5000. I have all versions of the Hotkeys drivers saved on my machine and was therefore able to try them all out to verify which one was the last one that worked for me.
On both of the above mentioned systems, the version of Access Connections that is running is version 5.97.
On the R61, the version of Power Manager that is running is version 5.20.
On the R500, the version of Power Manager that is running is version 5.13. (System Update does not show version 5.20 as an available update on this machine.)
It would be really nice if Lenovo could finally fix this problem.
