  • Mini-VGA to S-video Adapter / Getting Original Display Setting Back

    I purchased the Mini VGA to S-Video Adapter. Works good with my HD Television. But no I cant get my original Display settings back. I dont know exactly what the setting was but it had more screen space. Please Help, Ryan

    So you have a good picture on your TV but not your mac?
    Open the display pane of system preferences, leave the settings that come up under VGA Adapter (or whatever it calls itself) But for the iMac settings, colour should be millions, and then just go through the different resolutions until you find one that you like.
    Let us know how you get on.

  • Can't set resolution to match external LCD display.

    Hi all.
    I'm having trouble getting the screen to display on my 42" LCD without cutting off the right/left edges.
    I've found two sets ways to try and fix this in the Nvidia control panel:
    1-setting the ### x ### resolution doesn't help.
    2-when setting up the external monitor all the resolution settings are grayed out.
    Also, changing my format settings on the tv itself makes no difference.
    I'm using an 9600M GT and got the same result before and after updating the drivers.
    Anybody have any ideas?

    What I would try is the binary nvidia drivers and use the nvidia-settings tool, it seems to work better for setting screen resolutions on Nvidia cards, in my experience. It lets me set resolutions that xrandr won't let me, like 1280x720 on my 4:3 monitor if I feel like it (I had good reasons to do it lol, and no, I didn't stretch it out, I had black bars on it). I have it set to output 1360x768 to my LCD TV and I set it through nvidia-settings (though that was the default on it, so maybe a slightly different situation, but similar).
    After xrandr change KDE says that it is 1360x768, but on monitor's OSD I see 1280x768…
    Well, one of those is right, one is wrong, find out which is which Sometimes on my TV, if I'm in something with a lot of black space (full screen video or something), and I switch inputs, my TV will sometimes say either 1280x768 or even 1024x768, even though it's still in 1360x768). Maybe try taking a screenshot or something, and then an image viewer will tell you the real resolution of your screen.

  • Original Size and Resolution (How do I access that file)

    If you go to your photo album and click 'veiw larger image' you receive this message:
    Note: This picture may be displayed smaller than the actual picture size. The original uploaded image size and resolution are preserved in your account.
    The same question was posted with a solution to send the photo to your e-mail account. The does not resolve my problem. I should be able to access the original size and resolution here, online, in my account.

    You should be able to sign in to your account with Adobe to retrieve the serial number.  Then download version 7 from here:
    Download Photoshop Elements products | 9, 8, 7
    Worst case option:
    Download the trial version of Photoshop Elements 13:
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 Direct Download Links, Premiere too | ProDesignTools
    and save it as a tiff or jpeg and you can open it with any photo viewer.
    You may even find that you want to buy the latest version.

  • HOWTO: Can't display any resolution above 640x480, or other crappy res

    I've been working on this problem for half the day, and finally figured it out after many hours of frustration. During my search for a solution, I've seen other people who had the same problem but was never resolved on these forums. Rather than bumping an old post, I've decided to create this "howto" hoping that someone experiencing the same problem may find this post.
    The problem is that Xorg refuses to display any resolution above the minimum, which is 640x480. This was the resolution in my case, and searching around, it's the resolution many other people experienced, as well, who experienced this same problem.
    Check your Xorg log in /var/log/Xorg.0.log . Search for "No valid modes for". If you see something like this, then you are experiencing the same problem I had:
    (WW) NVIDIA(0): No valid modes for "1680x1050"; removing.
    (WW) NVIDIA(0): No valid modes for "1024x768"; removing.
    (WW) NVIDIA(0): No valid modes for "800x600"; removing.
    (WW) NVIDIA(0): No valid modes for "640x480"; removing.
    (WW) NVIDIA(0):
    (WW) NVIDIA(0): Unable to validate any modes; falling back to the default mode
    (WW) NVIDIA(0): "nvidia-auto-select".
    (WW) NVIDIA(0):
    In my case, this only occurred when I was using the nvidia driver (it went away when I just used nv).
    Ok, so here's how to solve the problem...
    Has your monitor worked with your machine before?
    If your monitor, graphics card, etc. has worked with your machine and xorg file in the past, and it suddenly stopped working without anything changing, then try rebooting your monitor. (I'm serious!) Log out, turn off your monitor, and unplug it for several seconds. Plug it back in and log back in. This ended up solving my problem, after I edited my xorg file (see below)... but just editing the xorg file and rebooting X wasn't enough
    If monitor rebooting didn't help, or you've never got your monitor/graphics card/xorg.conf working together in the past
    If this is the case, your xorg.conf probably isn't configured correctly. Assuming you already have a xorg.conf file (this post is NOT meant to replace the other howto's on how to configure your xorg file), here's the basic rundown of what your xorg file should have...
    Make sure that you have the "Modes" set in your Display subsection of Screen. Here's what my Screen section looks like:
    Section "Screen"
        Identifier     "Screen0"
        Device         "Card0"
        Monitor        "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth   24
        SubSection     "Display"
            Depth      16
            Modes      "1680x1050" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection     "Display"
            Depth      24
            Modes      "1680x1050" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
    EndSection
    (the line(s) in bold are the ones you need to make sure you have)
    If this still doesn't work, make sure that you have the appropriate Modeline set. I chose to make a Modes section like this:
    Section "Modes"
        Identifier  "16:10"
        Modeline    "1680x1050 (GTF)" 154.20 1680 1712 2296 2328 1050 1071 1081 1103
    EndSection
    Your Modeline probably won't look like mine. Hopefully, you know the specs of your monitor (or can look them up). You can use this tool to generate the Modeline for you:
    http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl
    Finally, make sure that the Monitor section includes your HorizSync and VertRefresh options. These are values specific to your monitor (again, you'll need to look up your monitor's specs)
    Here's my Monitor section
    Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "Generic Monitor"
        HorizSync       30-83
        VertRefresh     60
        Option          "DPMS"
        UseModes        "16:10"
    EndSection
    Log out and log back in. If the problem persists, reboot your monitor as described above.
    I hope this post will help someone, someday!

    Hi-
    You can plug a DVI-I dual link female into the DVI-I single male on a graphics card.
    From the outside, the male has all the holes for all the pins on the DVI dual, there are just no wires attached to the center group of the DVI single male.
    The Radeon 9800 is a DVI-I single link card. There is no getting around it.
    The maximum supported digital resolution for a Radeon 9800 is 1920x1200:

  • Reader 10.1 issues - with 150% Display setting

    I've waited a long time for the latest version of Reader (10.1.0.534) which came out yesterday. I keenly updated to it today and went testing (with my fingers crossed), only to find that it still doesn't fix the issues I'm encountering with my PCs Display set to 150% (Win 7 SP1 x64) - all the issues are all still there.
    Firstly - when using under the latest IE9 I've noticed the following:
    The top toolbar won't work and clicking on any button has no effect
    The bottom (floating) toolbar is similarly ineffective
    Somehow after I found 2 above, I've managed to loose the bottom floating toolbar altogether (and alt-F8 or F8 wont bring it back - not that its vital)
    Right Clicking on the screen brings up an option panel away from the mouse
    When used as a standalone app (again at 150% Display setting in Win 7) I've noticed:
    The illumination of the Close, Maximise and Minimise buttons when the mouse is rolled over them is irregular and if the mouse becomes stationary on any of those buttons, the illumination goes.
    Setting Display to 100% (or even 125% from provisional testing) seems to elliminate these bugs but is Adobe going to buy me some binoculars so I can see the tiny buttons and fonts on my HTPC screen from 6' away...
    In this day and age of Windows coming with a perfectly capable Media Centre interface, many users of HTPCs have them set up with high resolution monitors (or TVs as the monitor) and leaving the display set to 100% is no good for regular PC functions (such as web browsing or pdf reading).
    Please fix this Adobe. I've already applied to be a pre-release tester (and my application hasn't been picked up/followed up). I just feel I'm getting my moneys worth out of this product!

    Hi..
    Try removing a plugin...
    Quit Safari.
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Move the Adobe PDF Browser plugin (or just PDF Browser plugin) from the Internet Plug-Ins folder to the Trash.
    Relaunch Safari to test.

  • Display Changes Resolution When Computer Wakes From Sleep

    I have a MacBook Pro bought in May of 2006. In the last year, this problem has been getting progressively more annoying to me. When the computer wakes from sleep (not every time, but most of the time) the screen will flash blue, then reset the resolution to 640 x 480, I think. To fix it, all I have to do is go to System Preferences and change the resolution, but when I do that, it pops up two windows, like it thinks I have a dual display set up. To fix this, I always click 'detect displays,' and it fixes it, but the next time I wake the computer from sleep, it does it again. This isn't really an urgent problem, but I would expect my computer to behave a bit better for me.
    Thank you in advance for any aid you might give me.
    Lisel

    Hi Lisel. I have a similar age MacBookPro that does the same thing. I don't really know how to fix it I'm sorry, I wish I did cause it's annoying. I just thought I'd let you know you're not the only one with this issue.
    Basically, for some reason it thinks it has two displays connected, even when there isn't. To stop it being a total pain, make sure when it does come up with the two Display Pref windows to set them both to 1440x900, at least then when it does go dual display it won't be 640x480 and you can still read stuff.
    I've also left the Display Pref icon on the top tool bar (next to the AirPort and Bluetooth and stuff), so I can just click that and Detect Displays. When it does that it figures out for itself it doesn't actually have two displays connected and so goes back to normal.
    I know that's a workaround and not a fix, sorry. I'd be keen to know if anyone else has any better solutions:)
    Thanks,
    Mark.

  • Applescript mirrors display and resolution

    Hi,
    I have many problems with Mavericks and external monitor resolution (it's a projector, in 1024x768).

    For this problem and others, i search a Applescript for :

    set resolution 1024x768
    My computers are in Mavericks.
    It is possible?

  • Display Setting Problem

    I accidentally chose an unsupported display. If I boot the mini it starts up and then the display flashes "no support." If I start up in safe mode everything is very large. I go to system preferences and there is not a display selection.
    Is there a way to rest this? I have done the control option P R start up, and it did not help.
    I did the 10 second hold down where the computer bongs for a long time on start up. No luck. I'm at my wits end.
    CG

    The lack of a displays preference pane when you safe boot is something I have not come across before - indeed, when I messed up the display settings of a mini connected to a TV and ended up with a display that wouldn't sync, I was able to resolve the problem by safe booting and resetting the resolution and refresh rate in the display preferences.
    One thing I have found has worked on some Macs where the display settings have been set out of range and the display therefore doesn't work is to disconnect the display completely and then boot the mini. Once it has started up and there's been sufficient time elapsed for the desktop to appear, then reconnect the display again.
    What that OUGHT to do is cause the mini to set a default minimum display setting when it fails to detect a display. 640x480 or 800x600. When you reconnect the display, the desktop should then appear at that default minima.
    You should re-enable automatic logins (the checkmark in the security preference pane) before you do this since the mini may not detect the absence of the display before it cycles into the user's desktop.
    Even if this works, it's of some concern that under safe mode the preference pane is missing. To me, that would indicate the problem is a little deeper than merely preference settings, but this is worth a try.

  • Retina MacBook does not display full resolution in apps

    Hi everyone,
    I was trying to run a few games, urban strike and tribe to be exact and when I set resolution to 2880x1800 only top left quarter comes on, I cannot see anything else. Tried with 1440x900 resolution and still getting same results. I don't know if apps are trying to scale but I cannot run them full screen. Running windowed mode works just fine. My resolution is set to Best for Retina, I also tried using resolution changer to set the screen to 2880x1800 and still seeing the same result in the full screen apps, any ideas?

    You may need to adjust your display resolution. Take a look at the article below for more information.

  • What is the best display setting to have it on when connected to a TV?

    I just bought a mini dvi adapter and I was wondering what the best display setting was to make it as clear as a possible.
    I have it connected to a 52 in screen.
    Thanks,
    Sam

    The best display setting is actually its native screen resolution, usually the max resolution is the native one, but double check it with the TV respectively site to get more accurate technical answer.
    Good Luck.

  • Messed up color display and resolution because of mini-DVI to video adapter

    Once I connected the mini-DVI to video adapter to the tv and got weird colors on my screen for a while but then it worked out, then after a while I disconnected the cable and turned my computer off. After that, everytime I turned my macbook on, the color is fine for two seconds and then it turns into a weird offset color, really bright colors, kinda sketchy and just a few colors, and a weird resolution and display obviously, but then I just connect my Mini-DVI to video adapter and disconnect it again (quickly) and the color returns to normal. How can I make the normal colors stay and not have to connect the mini-DVI to video adapater everytime I want to see the normal color display and resolution??
    please help!

    Open the Universal Access pane of System Preferences, click on Seeing, turn off the White on Black, VoiceOver, and Zoom options, and drag the Contrast slider all the way to the left. If the issue persists, create a new folder on the desktop, drag half of the items from the Library/Preferences/ folder of the item in the Finder's sidebar with the house icon into it, and narrow down the files until you've isolated the one responsible.

  • External display - maximum resolution only works in safe mode on MBP

    I'm having an issue with an external display connected to a 2012 non-retina MacbookPro 15" i7 running 10.9.  Monitor is Dell U2713HM, which has a maximum resolution of 2560x1440, and is connected via a Mini-Dipslayport to Displayport cord.
    My setup has been working great for over a year, where while at my office I use the macbook closed in "clamshell mode" with the Dell monitor being the only display in use, running at 2560x1440.  However today when I came into my office and connected to the dispay as usual, the resolution on the Dell was noticably scaled.  System preferences is showing it running Scaled at 1080p, and when I select Best for Display it stretches to a very wide and distorted resolution.  I can hold alt and click the Scaled button to display additional resolutions, however the maximum resolution listed is 1600x1200.  Same problem regardless of clamshell, mirror, or extended desktop modes.
    I've been trying to track down the problem, and have run though the usual procedures: restart, shutdown, reset PRAM, reset SMC, check cord connections, verify disk, repair disk permissions - all to no avail.  However when I boot in safe mode the display runs as it should at 2560x1440 without issue, which lets me know its not a problem with the cord or connectioin, but rather something on the OS / GPU side.
    I can't for the life of me figure out what is causing the issue.  Considering its been working fine for quite some time, and I've made no unusual changes to the MBP in the past 48 hours when the display was working properly, I'm not really sure where to go from here.   Hoping to not have to migrate to a new user or repartion my HDD.
    Any suggestions on possible solutions?
    Thanks.

    I stumbled upon a fix.  Still not sure what caused the issue in the first place, but for anyone having the same issue, the display override script contained on the site below seems to have fixed the issue.
