Only one display resolution option for monitor

I just installed a new SSD in my computer, and then installed SL onto the drive. I have an Asus monitor, and Display Preferences on the SL install on the older HD gave me a variety of screen resolutions to choose from. But on the SSD install I only have one option (1280x800). What do I need to do to get a wider range of resolution options (including one that will look right with this monitor)? Thanks.

Which computer? What did you use to install Snow Leopard, a retail version or the disks from another machine?

24" Imac only showing 2 display resolution options

Within the past week something changed after running a Mac software update that resulted in only having 2 display resolution options. The display choices now are limited to 1900 X 1200 and 960 X 600. I think this happened after having a Mac software update. I don't know what the updates were other then they were suggested as part of the automatic software updates check.
Running OS X Lion version 10.7.4.
Graphics = NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 128 MB.
I have rebooted and checked for additional updates put still only seeing 2 choices.
Is anyone else having this problem or ideas why all the other resolution options disappeared?
Thanks

Thanks for quick response. I looked as suggested but those listed are older issues and not recent new events. I guess I will sit back and see if there is a new update coming that fixes issue. Really madding not being able to re-set resolution to one that I have been using for years.
If anyone else knows background/input on why resolution options would go from at least if not more then 10 to now only having 2 would be great.
Thanks again.

Display resolution on external monitor

I have purchased a MacBook Pro 17" and happy with the high screen resolution using it as a laptop. Successfully making my Windows desktop obsolete :-), has left me with a nice Dell 30" monitor (which have been running very high resolutions on using Windows).
I have connected the MacBook Pro 17 via Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter and can fine chose between mirror the display or using two display mode. The MacBook Pro also detect the screen fine. But I can't get the resolution on the external monitor higher than 1280X800???? If I use the setup without mirroring, the Mac's own display fine shows 19xx x something, while not displaying an similar high resolution option for the external monitor.
What do I do wrong?
Best regards,
Torben

You need a dual-link DVI cable to get higher resolutions.

180 GB of my 639-GB Macintosh hard drive is used. 320 GB of my 498-GB Tie Capsule is used. Only one backup ("now") exists for the Time Capsule, which can no longer backup because of "insufficient space". How come? What is wrong?"

Thank you William for your most helpful response. I shall deal first with your three comments:
Not being tech savvy, I would not have been able to make that call myself but it sure makes sense.
I have updated my profiles as you suggest. Excellent tip.
This guidance is good. Being new to Apple Support Communities, I did not find the field a labeling and guidance to be clear, a point you make. Now I know, I shall do as you say and will use the small slim box as a header to the full message/question, which will place in the larger box below.
Secondly, I come to your question: Did anything change on your Mac recently, such as replacing the disk or main logic board?
The answer is “yes”. Two events have happened both of which concerned the Time Capsule:
The telephone company, with which I have access to the Internet and I have my email account, installed a new modum. After the technician left I had to try and get the Time Capsule and WiFi working again which ended with my having to call Apple for technical assistance. The Apple technician walked me through a number of procedural steps which effectively re-set up the Time Capsule.
Access to the Internet failed and the telephone company reset the modum. I had to call Apple again. This time the technician did not reset the Time Capsule but walked me through a number of steps tha included renaming the “site” (not the Time Capsule).
Another piece of information that may be relevant is that the MacBook Pro uses the Time Capsule for backup. Everything appears to be in order. When I enter the Time Capsule for this laptop I have backups going back for a long time.
Also, I do a weekly backup of the two computers onto another external hard drive using the Time Machine software. So I have another backup of both computers.

Ok thank you so much, for your timely response.
RESPONSES:
1)   When I set up my iMac, I did not transfer any data directly from my windows PC. I simply used the same iTunes login and account. I have access to all of the files via the "Purchased" section of the iTunes store. If I click "Download Previous Purchases" text, I can download ALL of the purchases I have ever made.
2)   I have the Apple TV 2, so good news, question answered. I thought maybe it was the Apple TV 1, but it is the Black model, so bam. Good response for you. Well the whole damned reply is an awesome response, just pointing out that one piece of awesome. I stated that it was an Apple TV 2, and yet you were still good enough to figure I could be mistaken, and provide me with knowleedge just incase.
QUESTIONS:
3)   So can my iMac not stream the data directly from itunes, without download? Apple TV can, but perhaps that is something among many things that maker it unique, and awesome.
SERIOUSLY.... THANK YOU...
I work in the computer support section for the Military. The only problem is we use Windows , lol. Well that and i've been gone for nearly 6 months on recover. I go back next month though I hope. But working in that field gives me the abilty to judge responses that run inside the same vein. Your response was so awesome that I half thought I might have written it myself.

One finger scrolling option for mouse is GONE from preferences?

The one finger scrolling option for mouse is apparently GONE from the mouse system preferences? Why do they move/hide this stuff every other system update? Grrrrr!
I turned off the one finger scrolling option in mouse preferences a while back before my last system update to OSX 10.8.5 because it screwed me up in Photoshop/Illustrator. Recently using Chrome I found I couldn't scroll down windows now on some web pages because the scroll bar at the right doesn't show up very well. I usually use Safari and it works there so it's a Chrome problem. However, I want to turn the one-finger scrolling back on for some things from time to time. When I tried to check the box in mouse preferences, to my horror, that option appears to be gone. What?!? Help!
*totally waiting for a simple answer that I overlooked. I hope.

Did you look in the Zoom menu (press F10 to make the menu bar appear)?

Lost display resolution options when installing 10.4.6 with 20" monitor

I recently installed an upgrade using black retail DVD 10.4.6 from 10.2.8, and now i only have one option for display resolution (256 colors). The screen is gray??? I can restart using 9.2 Classic and the screen display is just fine (thousands & millions of colors). I did the disk utility and permission fix prior to and before installation. I also updated the firmware. I tried to download 10.4.8 combo update, but the license agreement can't be 'agreed to' because the button will not appear on the low resolution screen. Do i have to initialize the whole disk? The Monitor is a 20" Display (the large blue monster). Since it was working with 10.2.8 and still works under 9.2 Classic reboot, i doubt whether its a hardware problem.. Any ideas?

I wonder if it could be the Voodoo5 Dfx video card that's bn not compatible with 10.4.8?? It workds with 10.2.

Resolution options for Pavilion IPS 23bw monitor

Will this monitor only operation in 1920 x 1080? Apparently my video card (Radeon 4350) does not support this resolution.
I did install new card drivers, but still no option for this. Is there any way to use in another resolution, or do I need to upgrade video card?

Here are the specs for your HP Pavilion 23bw 23-inch IPS LED Monitor and here is the User Guide for this model. Based on this information, this model supports a recommended and maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080 @ 60 Hz. According to the user guide, this model should also support the use of the following resolutions;
640 x 480 @ 59.94
720 x 400 @ 70.087
800 × 600 @ 60.317
1024 × 768 @ 60
1280 × 720 @ 60
1280 × 1024 @ 60.02
1440 × 900 @ 59.887
1600 × 900 @ 60
1680 × 1050 @ 59.954
1920 × 1080 @ 60
You may also need to install the HP Pavilion 23bw IPS LED Backlit Monitor Driver to achieve full compatibility and it is possible that the AMD/ATI Radeon HD 4350 won't fully support this monitor.

ITunes Show View Options - Display an option for all playlists in one go??

Hi there
Ive got about 200 playlists and need to show the same option for each (BPM).
How can I tell iTunes to display the BPM in ALL playlists in one go?
I can't manually select it from
View
Show View Options
Tick BPM
Close Show View Options
on all 200 playlists, it would take far too long.
Any help?
Thanks

iTunes does not provide a way to do that. When a playlist is first created, it inherits the "View" from how the Music library is set at that point in time. From then on, changes to its View settings are independent of all other playlists.
There may be a script somewhere that helps. Otherwise you have to do them one at a time.
It can however, be done with fewer clicks than you state. Right-click any column header (preferably the one to the left of where you want BPM to show) and click the item "Beats Per Minute."

I am having a difficult time getting the duration of multiple selected clips. The duration display only will display the time for one clip. Yes, I know I can add them up myself, but why? :-)

I am using imovie 10.0.6

For reasons that you would have to ask Apple for they decided not to allow the precise position of the playhead to be shown in iMovie 10 (unlike in FCP 10.1.x).

Display resolution options with GeForce 5200 Ultra

I have asked this question before but received no anwers so I am trying again.
If you connect a widescreen display to this grphics card, using DVI, in the list of resolution choices in Display Preferences, Are there any options that will allow the use of a widescreen display so it does not distort horizontally? e.g. If drawing a circle in Illustrator or Photoshop will it be a regular circle or end up displaying as an oval?
Not sure which display to go for but am sure this must apply to using an Apple Cinema 20 or 23 in display. Displays I was thinking of using (16:10 ratio) have a native digital display of 1680 × 1050.
Thanks for any help.

Any display up to 1920 x 1200 should work. When run at native resolution, there should be no distortion.

What is the best display resolution setting for Macbook Pro retina display for photography?

Display resolution settings are somewhat criptic. I want maximal resolution for editing photos. Which one should I choose?

Not sure what you mean by "attachment" -
The question was about a player/recorder, also known as a burner when used with a computer. Any burner will also function as a player with a computer (as in "read and write") - just attach the drive and insert a CD or DVD. iTunes will however, most likjely, attempt to immediately import the song - that is its default behavior. I have other audio software, so I can bypass iTunes as I don't care to use it. And this is what I am referring to:

Other display resolution options

I've just bought a 19" widescreen display to go with a (planned) new mini. In the meantime I've hooked it up to my G4 iBook.
Question is: is there any way of working around the standard resolution options in the Display Preferences. 1024x768 gives me a stretched image on the external screen. If there's no way of setting other options (the screen has a max of 1400x900), is it at least possible to make it 'lose' a bit of screen space at the sides and use a little less territory, but in the right proportions?
I know this is not the forum, but does anyone happen to know whether I'm likely to have the same problem with a new Mini (I'm assuming it has a much more flexible driver).

I'm sorry to anyone who has fumed about the stupidity of my previous question.
I've found an option within the monitor set up - 'expand to fill full screen' - which was switched on. When switched off, everything appears with normal proportions.
Hopefully the information will still be of use to other visitors.

Marking only one of two quizzes for bilingual content - Captivate 4

I'm trying to create bilingual content with Captivate 4 that has a language selection screen and then a French quiz or an English quiz but only score one of them for the LMS (Saba 5.4 SP2).
I can create a multi-Scorm package but the LMS will score against the total of both quizzes even if you take only one ie. if each quiz is out of 100 the lms will score out of 200 so that you can only get a maximum of 50% if you complete only one quiz.
Is there a way to edit the imsmanifest so that only the quiz that is taken is scored against?

I know of no way to do this without having two totally separate courses. One in English, one in French. I think your better option is to have the user make their language choice BEFORE entering the course itself, rather than trying to manipulate scoring and content WITHIN the course. Having two different languages in a single course, when only one of them is actually going to be reuqired by the learner, is likely to require a much heavier download that is really necessary.

How do you use only one plugin in Logic for multiple guitar tracks? I want to only use one instance of Pod Farm and run all my guitar tracks through that one instance.

I want to be able to use only one instance of Pod Farm for my guitars, and have all of my guitar tracks run through it while I'm recording.

What he said. Or here is a similar approach with a picture.
1. Press the SEND button on every stereo (or mono) guitar track you want to send through the effect. Then select a free bus.
2. Make sure you turn up the amount of send (in db). Holding alt while leftclicking on this circle sets the send level to 0 db wich is good.
3. Open the mixer (Cmd+2). Please see that I here have turned the output off from the stereo guitar track. That way the only output will be the BUS, in your case the AmpTrack bus where all your guitars will pass through. If you want both the original guitar sound AND the Ampfarm effect then just set all outputs on your guitar tracks to Stereo Out, like the AmpF Bus track is set in my picture.
4. Insert your AmpFarm plugin here. I don´t have that plug so I inserted Waves Renes Axe for demo purpose.
Adjust the volume/effect of every guitartrack by turning the circle input shown as 2. in my picture.
I now see that you mentioned Pod Farm, not AmpFarm. But I guess it´s the same trick.
Have fun.
Heyclown.
