Multiple displays with different resolutions

The system is setup with two non-mirrored displays with the following resolutions: A) 1024x768 and B) 1280x1024 arranged as BA with A the menu'd display using an ATI 9000 Pro for Mac. During startup, approximately once inch worth of the menu's right items momentarily appear on the right side of display B 768 pixels down from the top. This problem only occurs in this BA configuration of differing resolutions and is independent of graphics cards (substituted the 9000 Pro with a mirror only AGP Navidia card and a mirror only PCI ATI Rage card combination which gave the same result). This problem first appeared using MacOS 10.3 which displayed several inches of menu instead of only an inch under MacOS 10.4. Anyone else seen this problem?
Dual 800 MHz QuickSilver Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Over the weekend, I explained this problem to one of the Apple Geniuses at an Apple store and then was able to duplicate the issue using a lap top and attached monitor in the store (not the same resolutions as my system; but, screens of similarly different resolutions). I raise this issue again because, as of late, additional things have been happening and I wonder if these are related to the core issue of an expanded desktop with two different screen resolutions. All of the widgets on the larger resolution screen desktop are drawing in the menu located in the smaller resolution screen when hitting the "i" to gain access to its control panel; however, not effecting the menu at all when moved to the smaller resolution screen. The other has to do with screen savers periodically blanking both monitors (as though the graphics card went to sleep) or having both monitors lose syncing (first occurrence today) where a cold start is required to bring the monitors on line again (I am going to have to figure out a way to test if the system is actually sleeping or the monitors have only gone blank before cold starting the system).

Auto-Detect Screen Resolution Does Not Work Across Multiple Monitors With Different Resolutions

Hi,
The Acrobat Pro DC (15.007.20033.2203) auto-detect screen resolution feature does not work with multiple monitors at different resolutions. Acrobat looks fine on my hidpi primary laptop display (Razr 14" 2014) but is completely unusable if I drag or extend the application to a standard HD resolution secondary monitor. Dragging Acrobat from my primary desktop display to the secondary display causes the UI elements to become 2x as large as they should be and makes Acrobat unusable.
Is there a way to make Acrobat auto-detect the display that it is currently on?
Thanks!
-Donald

To prevent it from happing again, you can
1. go to the Mouse preference and turn off the scroll zoom feature.
2. go to the Universal Access preference and disable the zoom features.

Mirrored LCD displays with different resolutions - what happens ?

Hiya - I'm looking to buy a mac mini & use two existing displays that I own:
a) A 1920x1200 monitor as my desktop, and
b) A 1024x768 LCD television for fullscreen video playback via Quicktime & DVD player
... the displays will be in different rooms, so I don't want to extend the desktop over both monitors.
However the guy in the Apple store told me that if I mirror the desktops that OS X will NOT let me use my 1600x1200 monitor @ it's native resolution - that OS X will pick the lowest common resolution available between the two screens.
Is this real ? Any way around this ?
Thx - Dave

... So if that's what you want, why are you saying that isn't what you want?
Because the two screens will be in *different rooms* - if anything other than fullscreen video opens on the second screen then I've got to try to drag it to the first screen without looking @ the screen @ the same time - it ain't easy.
I very much understand what OS X is trying to do - it makes sense, but in my case it's annoying. Plus I'm able to do what I'm trying to do here in Windows & Linux (it's tricky, but doable).
Given all I want to do on the second screen is show fullscreen video maybe what I'll do is disable the second monitor when not in use via switchresx or something - I guess this gives me enough of what I'm looking for. Not great, but (possibly) usable.
Thanks for your confirmation of OS X's behavior

Mac OS X 10.7.4 ARD Issues When Observing/Controlling Computers with Display Mirroring/Different Resolutions

As if Macs in an enterprise environment could be more difficult to manage, now since our upgrade to OS X 10.7.(4) I have lost the ability to remotely control numerous Macs in our organization. The issue occurs when attempting to control a Mac running OS X 10.7.(4) that has their Display mirrored and the resolution does not match on both displays. What happens is that I can see the remote screen however it does not fill the entire Observe/Control window. Instead, the remote screen takes up about 50% of the window, the rest is black but sometimes will display a mirror image of the remote screen in the black area. What?! Yeah, I've attached a screenshot because this is ridiculous. The real problem is that I cannot control the computer when it has reached this state, the mouse no longer functions properly, it is not clicking where I place the mouse, etc. I have made sure that I have all updates including ARD Client/Server updates. I even tried VNC but as I have come to find out that is a whole other issue (doesn't work, sends me to the login screen, etc).
So here's what I need:
- A patch that is going to fix this issue
- A script to run that is going to change the remote screen resolution (I still have the ability to run remote scripts, etc. simply not Observe/Control)
Ideas?
<Image Edited by Host>

I found a way to work around this issue. Not a fix but a work around.
This is little application some one wrote to toggle mirroring on and off.
Mirror Displays
If you put this application in the client computer's /Aplications folder
you can use ARD or SSH to run the app and switch modes.
The problem only occurs for me when a client is set to mirror dissimilar displays with different aspect ratios.
I am only seeing this in Lion 10.7.4 and 10.7.5
Hope it helps someone....

HP 6730b can I swap screens with different resolutions?

Hi,
Is it possible to swap screens with different resolutions on a HP 6730b?
Mine is 1680x1050 pixels and I want to find a 1280x800 screen to replace it.
(letters are far too small for an old fart like me. ;-)
The resolution list does support 1280x800 but it looks like viewing the screen through dirty glasses.
Just wondering if the interface is the same.
Cheers,
Bas

Usually people want to go in the other direction. Here is the Service Manual:
Manual link
The parts list shows a panel that is SXGA+ (1400 x 1050) and a WXGA (1280 x 768 or 800) panel.
There are multiple motherboards, but the only difference appaears to be whether there is a slot for a cellular card or not. In other words if you install the WXGA panel the motherboard should work with it and you will get 1280 x 800 resolution looking good. Laptop displays and other digital panels only work at their maximum aka native resolution and you get that muddy look if you try to run them at a lower res. You want to buy the whole panel with the cable designed for the WXGA....sometimes the cables will not work with a different resolution screen. Post back if you need further help finding a screen. You may find it cheaper and easier to sell or trade your laptop for one with the lower resolution screen.

How can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

how can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

You do not want to edit material from different frame rates on one timeline. You CAN do this, but it is a very bad idea - and this is why.
Once you establish the sequence frame rate - lets say it is PAL material at 25fps, any material that you drop into the sequence other than 25 fps will have to be changed to play at 25 fps. If the material you add is NTSC (29.97), FCP will DROP 5 frames per sec to bring the frame rate down to 25 fps. Which 5 get thrown away? Every 6th one. This yields a funky cadence that becomes even more complex as as there are also interlaced fields (DV/NTSC is an interlaced format). Oh, and by the way, the image sizes are different as well. DV/PAL has 576 lines of resolution and DV/NTSC has 480. FCP has to scale up the NTSC to fit the PAL frame.
You do not want FCP adjusting these things on the fly. You want to do a thoughtful (and time consuming) conversion so that you end up with all your material in one format with the best possible image from the conversion process. Compressor can do an adequate job with Frame Controls turned on. The Natress Standards Conversion FCP plugin is another way to go. A third option is to find a post house that can do the conversion for you using a hardware based process.
The good news is, once everything is in the same format, editing it will be painless and the output process very quick.
Whatever frame rate/ image size you select, I'd suggest using ProRes for the codec. It is 4:2:2 color and will withstand color correction and composting with much more grace than any variant of DV based codecs.
Have fun.

Layout with different resolutions

Hallo and good morning!
Once again I need some advice:
I have a program that is running on different machines with different resolutions.
Is it possible to avoid, that the layout is paning all around?
Best regards
Hilby
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Hilby,
No... that is currently a limitation of the layouts, where we try to adapt to each screen, but the objects and the layout may not fit into a different aspect ratio with a different number of pixels.
The aspect ratio is the most important, followed by the total resolution of the screen.
Some more information on aspect ratios is below.
In summary, DASYLab is unable to completely adapt the "Screen" layout for evey monitor size and resolution. If you want to have a fixed layout that does not completely occupy some monitors, then consider using a fixed size, like A4 or A3.
If you make something on a big monitor, 1600x1200 for example, and move it to a wide screen monitor,, 1600x900.
From my friends at Wikipedia
With computer displays, aspect ratios wider than 4:3 are also called widescreen. Widescreen computer displays were previously typically of 16:10 aspect ratio, now they are shifting to 16:9.
Until about 2003, most computer monitors had a 4:3 aspect ratio and some had 5:4. Between 2003 and 2006, monitors with 16:9 and mostly 16:10 (8:5) aspect ratios became commonly available

Radar chart with multiple KPIs with different scales in dashboard4.0

Hi Experts,
How to create a radar chart which is having multiple KPIs with different scales. ?
Thanks in Advance
Saidulu

Hi Sai,
Customizing the chart is not possible, example the data in you criteria is like the below.
Take four row based chart to display the row based values, if the columns are having different values. Take column based chart if the difference in row based, hope you got it.
Use the label in combo box and use the dynamic visiblity to call the chart from the back.
Hope you got the idea.

Multiple circle (with different diameters) on xy graph

Hi, I am looking for solution to the above posted problem. I've been researching and all the results yields by using "Draw Circle by radius.vi" but i would like it to be shown on a XY Graph that has multiple circles with different radius (sort of like a Bull's eye).
I also found a alternative solution with the for loop that has "PI" multiply with the loop iteration divided by 50 and the values are passed through Sine and Cosine functions with it bundled to be displayed on XY Graph. But i have no idea how to control the radius to make it smaller or bigger.
Help Please

BO xi 3.1 u2013 schedule a template for multiple reports with different column

Hi,
I need to migrate the existing reports from SQL Server Reporting Services to BO, and the column order in the report is very important to the clients since clients have existing code to ingest these reports into their database. Now I want to schedule a single template with different parameters for all reports in BO, or create a single template with lot of parameters for all reports. My question is how I might use one template to create multiple reports with different column orders in the reports?
For example, client A has the following column order in their report: firstName, LastName, DateBirth, SSN. Client B has the following column order in their report: SSN, DateBirth, LastName, FirstName. Can I use one template to create these multiple reports?
Thanks!

Hi,
The only approach I can think of is to create a template report which uses variables
For each column you would need to variable
v_columnAName and v_columnAValue
v_columnAName would have a if statement in it
=if([client]="clientA" or [client]="clientC";NameOf([firstName]);if([client]="clientB";NameOf([SSN]);NameOf([lastName]));
v_columnA would have a if statement in it
=if([client]="clientA" or [client]="clientC";[firstName];if([client]="clientB";[SSN],[lastName]));
This would only work when you had a small set of clients.
This might be more managable if it was done in the universe

Single invoice for multiple orders with different divisions

Dear All,
while I am trying to do single invoice for muliple orders with different divisons invoice is gettting splitted..In copy control vbrk routine I tried with 003 and 007 etc..but result is same..what configuration need to be done for getting the single invoice
Thanks In advance
Regards
CNRNAIR

Hello
single invoice for multiple orders with "different divisions" invoice is getting split
FYI - Different Division means different Sales Area.
So, sales doc (whether sales order, Delivery & Billing) is applicable to EXACTLY one sales area.
Thus, combining docs with different sales area is practically impossible.
Provided, you are using common division.
Hope this assist you,
Thanks & REgards

How do you use multiple displays with a MacBook Pro and iMac

I have an iMac and a MacbookPro laptop both upgraded to OS X 10.9 (Mavericks). I'd like to use multiple displays with them. Can I do this without an Apple TV? They are both on the same network. If I can, can someone please give some instructions on how this can be done?
Thanks!

Both computers have ports for external monitors. Check your user manuals. Only one display can be added to the MBP, but newer iMacs have dual Thunderbolt ports.
Do your own Google research to learn what to do, but reading your manuals should be all you really need. It' not rocket science yet.

Can I Turn off iMessage in a group text with multiple people with different devices? There's 1 person in the group text that doesn't use iPhone anymore and they can't see any messages that are sent unless we send as regular text individually.

Is there a way to turn off iMessage for a group text that includes multiple people with different non-apple devices? When a message is sent, only the iPhone users can see the iMessage. Those without them cannot see the texts unless we send individual Text Messages or turn off iMessage completely.

now I have this and it still doesn't work.

Multiple Orders with Different reasons on a Single day

Hi,
I am recently learning Device Management of IS-U Electricity. Now I have a problem with meter reading orders generated at the time of periodic meter reading with reason 01 and different system generated orders with reasons like 22, 21 , 16 and 11 which are the orders get created internally based on device replacement and modification.
If the scheduled meter reading date lies on the day or the day before of device replacement or modification, the meter reading for the periodic order is getting prorated based on the meter reading entered at the time of replacement or modification. This is what I dont want.
Is it possible to have multiple orders with different reasons on the same date? Any configuration changes are welcome.
- Arghya

Hi,
You can acheive this using following config changes.
SAP Utilities --> Device Managment -->Meter Reading --> Meter Reading Order -->Order Creation --> Define Automatic Interpolation for Meter Reading Reason.
Uncheck the 'Auto Interpolation' flag for Meter Reading reason 01.
This will not use the Replacement or Modifiaction read.
Let me know if anything more is reuiqred.
Thanks and Regards,
Ranjit Thakur.

I have defined tax in Oracle R12 . and defined multiple rates. these all tax deducted in a single Tax account. but my requirement is, there should be multiple taxes with different acccounts. when I define multiple taxes the system gives error unable to Calculate the tax. when I only enable one tax it works.
Current sanario tax rates
2% Account # 666461
3% Account # 666461
3.5% Account # 666461
Required Sanario
2% Account # 666461
3% Account # 666462
3.5% Account # 666463
Should be different
Do you have any Idea How I configure it.

Hmmm, thought I did that but ran into issues...Will give it a harder look.
Thank you for your reply, tt2...BTW, I've been reading these forums for awhile now and your replies in other posts have helped me so thanks for all of them, too...
