Native resolution 1440x960 not accessible, how to fix?

I just acquired a 15" 1.67GHz Powerbook G4. I have another one that is the identical make and model, which allows the native 1440x960 resolution display which I use. This new one doesn't give me that option, only going as high as 1280x854. Is this a problem I can fix? It's driving me mad, as I have an onscreen presentation that is looking a bit fuzzy on the new laptop.
Here is a copy of the Display specs from system profiler:

Hi tetardAnna,
Something sounds rotten about this Apple. There were, you may be aware, two 15 inch PowerBook G4 1.67ghz systems. One with high res, one without. The high-res system had 128MB of VRAM, and the other, non-high-res one, had 64MB.
It sounds like this is a logic board from the original, standard res system. Therefore, it also probably doesn't have the high res panel in it. Check font smoothing in the Appearance System Preferences Panel is set to "Medium - best for LCD" and not "Standard - Best for CRT".
It is possible, however, that it was a high-res system which had a logic board replaced with an incorrect model. I suspect you have no recourse if this is the case. I doubt this however, since LCD panels don't do scaling, and it would just display the 1280x854 display in the top left hand corner of the display.
You could try using SwitchResX to get 1440x960, but again, I don't think it will work.

  • Access restriction error? not sure how to fix it....

    I am trying to use JPEGImageEncoder and i imported import com.sun.image.codec.jpeg.*; fine but i get the following error on my code:
    CODE:
    JPEGImageEncoder encoder =JPEGCodec.createJPEGEncoder(outImage);
    ERROR:
    Access restriction: The type JPEGImageEncoder is not accessible due to restriction on required library /usr/local/java/jdk1.6.0_07/jre/lib/rt.jar
    I am not sure how to fix this... anyone know what needs to be done? I am using eclipse and i see the rt.jar in my library....
    thanks!

    "Stupid" Eclipse+Maven refuse to compile this legacy code.It's an Eclipse error, not a Java/compiler error as such. To fix it, I believe you have to check your plug-in configuration -- imported packages here or exported packages there. Try adding "com.sun.image.codec.jpeg" to the imported packages. Something along those lines. Anyway, bottom line: this is not an issue with the code.

    Downloaded much and now can not see how to fix it?

    I hate the new downloads-in-a-tab scheme. This was an unnecessary change in my book (if it aint broke, don't "fix it").
    So in order to get it back, I performed the about:config browser.download.useToolkitUI change, but now all I get is a blank download window that pops up every time I download something.
    Is there something else that I need to do? I've checked the change and it was saved, but it didn't resolve my issue as much as it just caused me a new issue.

  • I registered my new iPhone 5s to my usual Apple ID, however it isn't showing in my devices when I log in. I tried to register it by adding a new device, but it tells me it's already registered to a different Apple ID. I'm really not sure how to fix this.

    I registered my new iPhone 5s to my usual Apple ID, however it isn't showing in my devices when I log in. I tried to register it by adding a new device, but it tells me it's already registered to a different Apple ID. I'm really not sure how to fix this. I only have the one Apple ID and the phone is brand new, purchased directly from Apple.
    When I check on the phone itself (iCloud and App Store settings) the Apple ID is correct. I'm not sure where else to check.
    Whilst setting up the phone, it prompted me to register, which I did. Then when connecting to my laptop through iTunes it prompted me again so I registered again. I even got a confirmation email to the email address associated with my Apple ID that the registration was successful.
    How can I add my iPhone 5s to the list of devices on the correct Apple ID?
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    If not this:
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Then
    - 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: How to back up           
    - 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.

    The phone usually can hold 24 messages before the voicemail is full, but now I have only 21 and it's saying it's full.
    I think your Voice mailbox goes by time, not # messages, so if one or two of the messages is longer, then it would be "full" faster.
    Go to youmail.com and follow the directions to set up youmail.
    Just curious - why do you need to save 20+ messages?  Once I deal with them, I delete them.... and I rarely have more than one or two \saved messages....

    iMessages only, not all texts as in SMS/MMS.
    This means iMessage is activated on his iPhone with the same Apple ID.
    Sign out of the Apple ID with iMessage on his iPhone and sign back in with his Apple ID.
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Apple ID.
    Select the Apple ID and at the menu window that appears, select Sign Out. Sign back in there with his Apple ID.

  • I have two companies sending me indesign documents. One opens up and the dictionary is set to English. The other file opens at is in Hebrew, Not sure how to fix the Hebrew part and whether or not the fualt lies at my end or at the other end

    I have two companies sending me indesign documents. One opens up and the dictionary is set to English. The other file opens at is in Hebrew, Not sure how to fix the Hebrew part and whether or not the fault lies at my end or at the other end

    If only the language is Hebrew, you should correct it in the Paragraph and Character Styles.
    But in such a case I would expect more problems.
    If you are a creative cloud subscriber you should additionally install the InDesign version, English with Hebrew support:
    Go to the preferences of you CC.app. It is found behind the Gear Symbols on the top right.
    When the preferences open, go to the Apps section.
    Change the App Language to English with Hebrew support.
    Now you can install it. It will install on the very same place where your InDesign program is found some additional plugins, which will give you access to Hebrew functionality, like RTL text. Otherwise you will inherit in the document (and where you copy and paste it from such a document into another one). But now you can change or repair problems.
    Now repeatstep 1 + 2, but you need not to install your own language again. InDesign will now, when started, run in the language of your OS (when you have it installed in that language) but with more functionality to handle problems with Hebrew documents.
    The same steps you would have to do with Arabic or Asian documents. These languages will also add more plugins. But keep it limitted to those language you need. I have installed it that way, because I get sometime documen where the text flows the wrong direction or the numbers come up in Farsi digit, not in Arabic digits. For such purposes I need versions in languages I don’t understand myself.

    Hi jodilynnf,
    When using Connection Doctor to see what is could be causing the issue, look for the red dots to let you know what is wrong. Then all you have to do is correct that information. You can double click on the section that is giving you issue and it will take you there. Most issues could be just password being entered incorrectly.

    My ipod was filled to the max...like 950 songs and i couldnt fit anymore. i had it on set up mannually, but one day when i plugged it in to my computer it acted as if it was a new ipod and switched to "update automatically." Then it updated by deleting all my songs i didnt have saved onto the library before i could stop it. now ive reimported all my cds, but it will only hold 500 songs and says its full. They are all the same songs so it cant really be full. I'm not sure how to fix this. Please let me know if you know how to fix it. Thanks
