MBP Retina 15 display resolution issue on Windows7 and Bootcamp 5.0

i  have macbook pro retina 15 that i bought in jan 2013 and i have just installed windows 7 on it. I have then installed bootcamp 5.0 from apple.com for drivers. But my display driver is shown as "generic non-PnP monitor on standard VGA Graphics Adaptor. The maximum resolution that i am getting is 1600*1200. I have tried to repair bootcamp installation but the display is still same and its not as crisp as it should be.
I have searched everywhere on google and youtube but cant find any answer. Can any one please let me know how to fix it.
Cheers,
imran

Hi Rudegar,
                   Thnaks for feedback but what do u suggest? should i uninstall windows and try again. I did checked the option in bootcamp during win install "Download windows support software" but my MBP got stuck while downloading win support software.. i waited for more than 3 hours but it never moved ahead after 50 odd %. So i tried again with unchecking this option and once win were installed i downloaded bootcamp 5.0 and installed it but my display was not detected.
Have you restarted Windows since installing, if not try it.

  • My mbp retina 2013 display went black suddenly

    My mbp retina 2013 display went black suddenly. Anyone else having this problem?

    Hi, I have the same computer, same model and same problem with the same diagnosis, with no response from Apple for being out of warranty of 4 years, this is a shame!

  • Display resolution is different left and right sides

    Hi, my HP G42 laptop now has a different display resolution on the left and right sides. The left half seems to have less resolution than the right side, the right side looks like it's in HD, the left side looks washed out. I'm not sure if it is a hardware issue or a setting/software issue. The first time it appeared was after a windows 7 update was completed and installed, I'm not sure if that was just a coincidence. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. It works but is very annoying to look at.
    Thank you,
    Ray

    Hi Ray_M,
    Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that you are having a problem with two different resolutions on each half of your screen. The easiest way to determine where the problem lies is to connect it to an external monitor. If the image is normal then we know it is an issue with the display screen but if the issue occurs on the external monitor then we know it is a problem with the drivers or the video card itself.
    What is the product number for your g42? There are a number of different models in that series.

  • MBP Retina shows wrong resolution on external display since 10.8.4

    I have a MBP retina and I'm using it with an external display, Dell U2711, connected via a Mini-DP to DP cable. It all worked amazingly well until 10.8.4 came out. Now, when I connect the display, it no longer shows the correct 2560 X 1440 resolution, but shows 1080p. The displays preferences pane does not allow going over 1080p. It does recognize the display model, though.
    It started with one port. The machine has two TB ports, so one of them worked fine and the other didn't (the one closer to the user was acting up). Then it degraded further to the second port. Now, if I plug and unplug several times and fiddle with the displays control panels, I might just get it right eventually. It takes some time, but eventually the machine gets it right. At least that's what I've been experiencing in the last few days.
    I don't think it's a hardware issue. It's possible that my cable is at fault, but I seriously doubt that. I'm wondering if anyone else got the same problem, just checking before I go and splurge on a new cable (these cables are not easy to find).
    Thanks,

    This worked for me:
    Step 1: Delete system windowserver preferences
    In the Finder, from the menu bar, select "Go -> Go to Folder..."
    Enter: /Library/Preferences/
    Delete the file called com.apple.windowserver.plist
    Step 2: Delete user windowserver preferences
    In the Finder, from the menu bar, select "Go -> Go to Folder..."
    Enter: ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/
    Delete all files that start with com.apple.windowserver   (On my rMBP, there was one file called com.apple.windowserver.12AFB147-95D6-5C70-8F62-C1E4F2BE81BE)
    Step 3: Reset the PRAM    (These instructions are fromhttp://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379)
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • OS X 10.8.3 Display Resolution Issue

    Ever since updating to 10.8.3, there has been a sporatic resolution issue when waking my MBP. My mid 2009 13" MBP operates in closed lid mode while connected to a 21.5" monitor. My machine frequently wakes to a completely incorrect resolution that is many times the size of my display. It fixes to the correct resolution if I simply sleep and wake again, or correct it via System Preferences, but having to do this several times becomes quite annoying. Anyone else experiencing this bug and/or have any ideas on its resolution?

    Hi GoldenA,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It may help to reset the NVRAM by following the steps in this article:

  • MBP Retina 13" Display Problems

    Hi,
    I have a new 13" MBP Retina (late 2013).
    I'm seeing random visual artefacts on the screen:
    - Occasionally I see lines flashing across the screen
    - Text wobbling in Finder when opening and closing folders
    Has anyone else seen these types of problem?
    I'm still within the 14 day return period, and I'm considering taking the MBP back.
    Regards
    Darren.

    thanks! yeah i recorded it so i hope they will take the problem more seriously.
    Unfortunately i don't have an applecare protection plan, but i hope that the proof that i've been in an apple store for the same issue already in april will help me somehow.
    I also think that when i touch with my hand both chassis and display i make some connection working again. Maybe i'm the radioactive man, or i have some special powers...or for the first time time in my life i bought a bugged apple product. But i think is more possible one of the first two options!

  • (Mighty) Mouse with Windows7 and BootCamp

    Hi,
    I am trying to get my Mighty Mouse running on Windows7 using Bootcamp. I have read several threads but it still does not work!
    What is more problematic: I am using my old USB mouse from my Quicksilver mac (a "Pro Mouse" - transparent look), and even here I cannot manage to get the right click enabled properly...
    When I click on the "Add Bluetooth device" button in the system settings, the mighty mouse is found, but the installation is not finished and I am not able to right click on it (because of the problems with the existing USB mouse), in order to change some settings of it ... if that would be possible..
    Any ideas?
    PS:
    iMac (2007), Snow Leopard, BootCamp says version 4.0 (from Windows System Control)

    Found some hint in the web that fixed my issue:
    http://maclord.ozarweb.com/mevzu/resolved-apple-magic-mouse-problem-on-windows/
    It seems as if I really had to remove the mouse in MacOS from the bluetooth device list.

  • MBP Retina bad display on external Dell display

    My MBPr LCD display is great: crisp and clear.
    However, when I connect my desktop Dell display, the result is washed out and difficult to read fonts.
    I've tried with both mini-DVI and mini-VGA.   The mini-VGA is perhaps marginally better, but in both
    cases is borderline unusable.
    Any clues?
    Thanks!

    I've a 2011 MBA, 2008 MBP and a Dell U2410 24" 1920x1200-native setup with zero problems, until I replace the aging MBP with rMBP. Now I get the same issue as the OP.
    I've searched extensively, but "blurry images, washed-out colors, smudgy text" isn't very scientific/concrete so it's not easy to have a clear-cut case. On this same issue (I believe), I've found the following threads:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4119545
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=15565120
    I'm trying to document the issue as much as possible, with photos taken off the display. (I've found screen capture doesn't work). They're posted at http://goo.gl/XLdMf
    Further background
    The same mini-DP to DP cable is used to connect MBA, rMBP (and my previous 2008 MBP) and have been in service since I've the Dell. No issues at all, except the rMBP.
    I've tried HDMI-HDMI from rMBP to Dell. Same lousy display quality.
    The Dell U2410 accepts DP, HDMI, DVI and VGA inputs.
    On the monitor itself, I can press a few buttons to ask for display info. In both cases, the Dell reports it is displaying in 1920x1200 @ 60Hz. (So this rules out the problem of trying to display 1920x1080 on a 1920x1200 native display).
    I've done a Factory Reset on the Dell, to no avail.
    When the MacBookAir4,2 (2011 MBA) is connected, a range of resolutions is available:1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480p, 1920x1200x 1600x1200, 1600x1000, 1344x1008, 1344x840, 1280x1024, 1280x960, 1280x800, 1024x768, 1024x640, 960x600, 800x600, 800x500, 720x576, 640x480
    When MacBookPro10,1 (rMBP) is connected, only 3 choices present itself:1920x1200, 1600x1000, 1280x800
    Comparing the 2 Colors tab photos, notice how, when the rMBP is connected, the fonts have a white shadow all around the black fonts.
    Comparing the 2 Display tab photos, look at the "1920" in the selected "1920x1200" option. Notice how, when the rMBP is connected, the bottom of the "1", "9", "2", "0" are smudged together

  • External Display Resolution Issue...

    I have a Mid-2012 MPB running Mavericks. Recently, I've tried connecting 2 different external display's to the MBP via an Apple Thunderbolt to VGA adaptor. I can't get the resolution of the connected displays to go above 800 x 600, and it looks awful.
    The first screen is a Samsung SyncMaster T260HD with a native res of 1920 x 1200, and the other is a Samsung SyncMaster 933HD, with a native res of 1366 x 768. I plug them into my Windows box via a VGA cable, and it will drive each display at it's native res just fine. So what have I missed to get the MBP to do this???
    Thanks in advance. :-)

    My MBP has Thunderbolt and I have a mini displayport to DVI adapter. This is connected to the DVI port in the display.
    That option key selection did not increase the alternative resolutions available.
    I did reset PRAM according to a advise hee in the community. That did not help either.

  • 3rd Party Display Resolution Issue - Mid 2011 iMac 27inch Mavericks- iMac wont allow max resolution of Samsung SyncMaster SA850

    Hi Guys,
    I just updated my 27 inch iMac to Mavericks and can't get my third party 27inch Samsung screen to run at maximum resolution. Even when using the "Alt" Click and select Scale shortcut I cant display the 2560 x 1440 resolution the screen is capable of.
    I've called apple support and they couldn't rectify the issue nor could samsung. I've even tried the monitor in another iMac updated to mavericks and have the same issue.
    Im connecting using a mini display port to DVI cable through my thunderbolt port.
    My machine is Mid 2011 27inch iMac 3.1ghz core i5 with AMD Radeon HD graphics card upgraded to Mavericks
    Monitor is brand new 27 Samsung SyncMaster SA850. I was able to get it to work at max resolution on a Windows 7 PC.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thinking of returning the screen, hopefully Samsung will take it back.

    The standard > Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter only supports 24" monitor resolutions up to 1920 x 1200.
    For a larger monitor you need either a > Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter
    or perhaps a simple Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort Cable if your monitor supports DisplayPort input.

  • MSI Twin Frozr OC Radeon 7870 Display Resolution issues

    Howdy all,
    Just got the above card (Radeon 7870 Twin Frozr OC) and I'm having issues connecting 2 monitors.
    I was originally using a regular DVI cable that went from my 30 inch dell monitor to the new card and since I didn't have a DVI to HDMI cable or any micro cables I wasn't able to hook up my 25 inch Acer monitor (the card has 4 display ports, one regular DVI, a regular HDMI, and 2 micro ports).  I got the cable I needed to hook up the DVI input of the monitor to the hdmi output of the video card.
    The problem is now my 30 inch dell monitor will not display 2560x1600 or anything above 1200x800 while the Acer is hooked up.  I have tried using the new hdmi on both monitors and the Acer is still outputting 1900x1080.  So the cable is fine. 
    I am using a Dell T7400 that has a 1000w rated power supply.
    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

    One more bit of information.  When I have the dell monitor connected with the HDMI cable it doesn't even give me the option for resolutions higher than 1200x800.  When I the Acer 25 inch plugged in through the HDMI I can get 1900x1080 on it.  The Dell I then connect directly into the bigger DVI port and it gives me the options of resolutions up to 2560x1600 but when I try them it just gives me weird pink and rainbow lines all over the screen. 
    Thx again

  • Macbook mini-dvi to vga display resolution issue

    Hi,
    I'm connecting my 13in first generation macbook to an external LCD display.  It's an ACER AL2216W.  I'm running latest Snow Leopard.  
    I could always just click 'detect displays' and it would figure out what kind of monitor I had and I would be off and running at the native 1600x1050.  
    Now for some reason when I click detect displays, it only shows the laptop native resolutions.  There is no 1600x1050 in the resolution list and instead of saying "ACER AL2216W" at the top of the display preferences, it just says "Display"
    I've tried rebooting, plugging in and and out my monitor cable to the macbook and a variety of other things but to no avail.  I'm forced to use 1024x768 right as it is the only resolution that displays correctly on my monitor.   Any ideas on how to get back the detect display working and have 1600x1050 resolution again?

    I have a 40 lcd tv and have my macbook hookuped to it using the mini display port to vga and it looks really good, but i only use it for watching movies. Dedicated monitors are still better for reading text or playing games

  • Portrait display resolution issue since upgrading to Mountain Lion

    Hello. I'm running a Mac Mini 2011 with the 2.5 GHz i5 and Radeon HD 6630m graphics. I run two monitors, one via HDMI and via the Mini DisplayPort to VGA adaptor. The HDMI connection runs landscape, the VGA portrait. Since updating from Lion to Mountain Lion, the resolution options in portrait disappear. I'm forced to use 800x1200, which stretches and distorts horribly, as opposed to the correct 1366x768 available to me in landscape.
    Prior to updating from Lion to Mountain lion I didn't have any issues, so it's pretty clear this is Mountain Lion related. I'm hoping someone can help me resolve this issue.

    Try holding the option key when you click on the scalled button and see if the resolution you need is listed.

  • Display resolution issues in Acrobat 9.2?

    G'day,
    I've just upgraded to Acrobat 9.2 this arvo and I immediately noticed that a PDF created as screen resolution displays in a very poor quality. Yes, it's a low res PDF, but everything within the PDF displays very badly. Have I maybe missed something that has changed in Preferences or is it something else?
    I am concerned as all work is sent to clients via a PDF for approval etc. and that they might feel that my artwork is of inferior quality due to the way PDFs now seem to display under Acrobat 9.2
    Thanks in advance for any comments or help.

    Go to Preference and to Page Display:
    Check the part about the resolution and see if it matches the resolution of your display.
    The the resolution of which you view a PDF on screen doesn't necessarily have to do with how it looks when printed. I just updated 9.2 and open a PDF and I didn't see any problems on my machine.
