My screen resolution is not clear and colors are not correct

My screen resolution is off and colors are off and there is no help on users guide

Resolution and coloures are 'off' how ? Is it on every app and on the homescreen ? In terms of resolution are you refferring to using iPod / iPhone apps with '2x' enabled ?
Have you tried a reset to see if that makes any difference ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • After target display mode, iPhoto reports an error, "The current screen resolution is not optimal for iPhoto."

    I have the 27-inch (late 2009) iMac with mini-Display port input. Whenever I return from Target Display Mode, I get the attached error message and iPhoto becomes unresponsive (the window is still active, but clicking on it produces the error/warning system sound), I have to Force Quit it. The current screen resolution is not optimal for iPhoto (sometimes the error message is a little off the screen in the lower left and only the top of the window can be seen. This also seems to affect iTunes at the same time (by resizing the window to be super small), but without the error message or unresponsiveness.
    Has anyone else gotten this problem, and or might know of a fix?

    Yes, I have the same problem.  I have checked the resolution in Sysyem Preferences - display and it is properly set to the highest resolution (which is recommended).  I have no idea why this is ocurring but it is annoying.

  • Trouble with screen resolution when using Parallels and ACT on Macbook Pro (late 2013)

    Hello, I have installed my Sage ACT 2013 software on my Macbook Pro 13" Retina (late 2013) computer that has 16GB of RAM and an i7 core processor using Parallels 9 desktop and Windows 7- 64bit.  The problem is that the screen resolution is very small and condensed to the left side making reading the title boxes and content very difficult.  I reached out to Parallels who was unable to resolve the screen resolution by either  adjusting the display settings or the Windows 7 video settings. Right now they have the Resolution listed as "Scaled" as the "Best for Retina" & "More Space" options did not help the issue.  What is even more strange is that I have Office 2013 installed on the Parallels side so that it can interface with ACT and those screen resolutions read just fine.  Are there any ACT/MAC users out there that might have any insight for me? Thx!

    See -> http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1636/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_ 10.8.pdf.
    In addition to the Windows disc (or USB flash drive with the Windows installer) you'll need a 8GB+ flash drive.
    The referenced manual - on page 3, I think, gives you a run-down of what you'll need before you begin the installation. You may also want to post any further Boot Camp questions in the Boot Camp forum -> https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp.

  • Hi, My problem is I cannot connect my apple tv to my account, the user name and password are definitely correct, I upgraded the software, reset the device, but no chance. What should I do?

    Hi, My problem is I cannot connect my apple tv to my account, the user name and password are definitely correct, I upgraded the software, reset the device, but no chance. What should I do?

    Try this:
    Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings  (or for network connection issues 'reset network settings').
    (no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute).

  • Change Screen Resolution or not Change Screen Resolution?

    I mean is it possible to change screen resolution with Java?
    I read some topics (not in this forum) that is impossible. I know there is a method to set at full screen a frame with the favourite resolution but does it effectively exist a method to set the screen with a favourite resolution?
    For example:
            frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
            frame.setUndecorated(true);
            frame.setIgnoreRepaint(true);
            device.setFullScreenWindow(frame);
            if (displayMode != null && device.isDisplayChangeSupported()) {
                try {
                    device.setDisplayMode(displayMode);
                } catch (IllegalArgumentException iae) {
                    System.err.println("EX: " + iae);
            ...the device.setDisplayMode(displayMode) always throw me an exception: Invalid Display Mode (or something like that) with all permitted display modes (640by480, 800by600, 1024by768, etc...), with all permitted refresh rates, with all permitted color depths.
    Illuminate me please!
    Thanx in advance!

  • Screen resolution does not change back after using a projector

    Hi!
    My office uses several different models of macbooks, but there is a small problem with all the Airs. When I have been using them with a projector I have to change back the screen resolution manually (go to the system settings and change resolution). On the macbook pros, however, the desktop restores themselves as soon as the projector is disconnected. It seems to me that this should be the standard behaviour of all macs, does anyone know why it is not working on the Airs?
    Best regards
    Erik

    Hi Erik,
    I had this problem on a MacBook and resolved it by recreating some plist files.
    ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.windowserver.xxxxxxxxxxxx.plist
    ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.preference.displays.xxxxxxxxx.plist
    The xxxx's are your machine's EthernetID (MAC Address). I wouldn't delete, rather just move them to your Desktop and restart the computer. See if that resolves it.

  • Screen resolution at boot time and in single user mode?

    Hello!
    I remember back in 10.3.8 or earlier my Mac booted right away in 1280 by 1024 pixels screen resolution, thus avoiding the video mode change when showing the progress bar.
    I didn't manage to get it back to work this way.
    Reset NVRAM ( a zillion times!) didn't help, nor did setting the screen mode from the admin or root account.
    I'd really like to have it back!
    It's no fun working in single user mode on 640 by 480.
    I know this has been working with the original ATI Rage 128 and with the Radeon 7000 PCI I built in 3 years ago.
    Any ideas?

    Not sure if this is related enough, but I just wrestled trying to restore from time machine too, trying to reinstall 10.5.8 after putting a new HD in my MBP, 2006 vintage.
    That took sooooo long to get back to where I was before swapping disks; what did the trick was ordering a free copy of Snow Leopard install disk (free due to Apple trying to push people from idisk to icloud) which was rushed FedEx (yay) and which allowed me to access Time Machine where my ancient original OSX install disk had not.
    And all it took was 2 weeks of cursing!

  • Screen resolution problem - HP computer and LED Cinema Display

    I just purchased an HP Envy Phoenix H9-1330 with Windows 8, and I connected it to my 27" Mac LED Cinema Display, but the resolution is horrible. The highest option in the screen resolution menu is 1280 x 720, and I'm getting the error message "Your resolution is lower than 1024 x 768. Some items might not fit and apps might not open". How do I fix this? What kind of issue is this (Windows 8? Graphics card? HP can't support my monitor? etc...)?
    I just bought another brand new computer, but not an HP, with Windows 8 and I have no problems with the resolution - it looks absolutely beautiful. I want to use my monitor with my HP desktop though.
    Thanks for any help

    Still haven't figured it out....
    BUT I did notice that, on the back of the computer, there are 2 additional DVI connections that are covered with a black cover and screwed in (and they say 'please do not remove'.... I'm asuming it's because they aren't connected to anything? Or maybe they aren't connected to the graphics card?). Is it possible that just my DVI connection is wrong, and I'll need to connect to one of these covered-up DVI inputs instead? But why are they covered up? Do I need to take it in so they can be connected to the graphics card?? Help! I don't want to return this computer, but I will have to if I can't get the resolution fixed.
