Portrait Mode Supported?

Is Portrait Mode external video supported on the Mac Mini (Intel)?
PB12 revB & Pismo 500   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

If you rotate your display, turn it on then boot your Mac mini it should at that point be operating in portrait mode. I don't recall exactly what I did with my Dell display (I'm not near it to check at the moment) although it definitely works.

  • Does Santa Rosa MB Pro support portrait mode on an External?

    A MacInTouch post says no.
    I'm now using a 17 in. G4 with an NEC 1980SX external that rotates.
    The display settings in my Tiger System Preferences allow me to rotate the display 90 degrees which makes working on 11x17 documents much easier.
    I want the new 17 in MacBook pro but no support for portrait mode is a bummer.

    For clarity on the external portrait display issue:

    Yeah, I have clarity...that's my post.
    I now need someone to prove it by actually trying it because I also need portrait support.

  • Why don't new imac display driver support rotate into portrait mode

    why don't new 24 in imacs support display rotate into portrait mode? they have ati radeon HD 2600 chipset!

    OK - I figured it out. Apple's 10.4 display driver does not externalize the rotate parameter for the new IMAC alum 24inch display - even though the ATI video card supports rotation.
    However, the SwitchResX utility (search on google) will switch the display into rotate modes 90/180/270. I tried it and it works in 90 degree rotate.
    Once you install SwitchResX, you have to do 2 steps. First, open the SwitchResX control panel and under its Menus tab, further enable its taskbar widget to allow "Display Orientation" settings. Second, then use SwitchresX taskbar widget (now displaying a new "Rotation" parameter setting for Standard - 90 - 180 - 270.
    In addition (obviously ... for safety reasons) you will probably want to attach the device to a VESA standard display mount that allows safe physical rotation of the IMAC. Apple sells for $29 the VESA Mount Adapter Kit for 24-inch iMac. This will allow attachment of the IMAC to a VESA mount. (I am now researching VESA mounts).

  • Video support: resolution, portrait mode and aspect ratio

    I have been playing with a friend's PowerPC-based mini (while I wait for Leopard to come out) and have some pre-purchase questions:
    1) Do the current Core 2 Duo mac mini models support the VESA standard Preset Timing Mode of 1680 x 1050? (That's not listed on his older mac mini and would affect my choice of monitor.)
    2) Does the current mac mini support portrait mode with any monitor at all?
    3) The specs list maximum resolutions of 1920 x 1200 (16:10) with DVI and 1920 x 1080 (16:9) with VGA. I'm guessing that is related to bandwidth of the cable and does not mean that all output to DVI would be at the 16:10 aspect ratio and all output to VGA would be at the 16:9.

    mexibeetle,
    As far as the resolution of 1680x1050 I cannot answer you. I have a Power PC mini as well as an intel mini. The resolutions available change based on the display connected, but neither of mine offer that particular resolution (the 17" monitor I have does not go that high on the PPC mini via VGA and the intel mini is hooked up to a 40" LCD TV via HDMI...those resolutions are either 1600x900 or 1920x1080)
    Neither my monitor nor my HDTV list that particular resolution (1680x1050) as being available, regardless of what they are connected to, so I cannot say whether or not the mini is capable of driving a screen at that resolution.
    As to portrait mode, on both the older and newer minis in the display preference pane there is the option to rotate your image...90, 180 and 270 degrees. Mounting your monitor horizontal or vertical should not pose any problem as far as I can see.

  • Does Apple Pay setup with camera support portrait mode credit cards?

    I have a credit card that the front face is in portrait mode instead of the traditional landscape view. I tried to used the camera to setup this card in Apple Pay but it would recognize it. I had to set it up manually so I could use that card. I was wandering if Apple Pay camera setup is compatible with those types of cards.

    WiseJD, that's a good way to test the theory, I agree.  But I'm not really blocked on doing anything here, this is more about technical curiosity.  So I don't plan to try that test, since signing out of iCloud means iCloud photos and docs get deleted from the phone and I'd have to get them downloaded again later.  The hassle exceeds my level of curiosity. 
    However, a co-worker pointed me to the iOS Security Guide (Apple Pay starts on page 24).  The second paragraph on page 27 says, "This allows iOS to instruct the Secure Enclave to render cards unusable by marking its copy of the AR as invalid under the following scenarios:
    When the passcode is disabled
    The user logs out of iCloud
    So there is some connection to one's iCloud Apple ID.  The connection appears to be quite minimal, but I accept this as sufficient circumstantial evidence that for users with two Apple IDs, one iCloud and one iTunes, the iCloud Apple ID is the one Apple Pay looks at when deciding whether to offer to include your existing credit cards.
    I'll stick with that as my theory unless someone presents a counterexample.  That is, if someone says they use separate Apple IDs on their phone for iCloud and iTunes, they have no credit card in the iCloud account, and Apple Pay *does* offer them the chance to, "Use Card on File with iTunes," (from their iTunes Apple ID).
    Thanks.

  • IPhone 6 - I can only send photos via iMessage in landscape mode. The address line disappears when I try to send a portrait mode photo.

    iPhone 6 - I can only send photos in landscape mode via iMessage. The address line disappears when I try to send a portrait mode photo. Gone so far as erasing all content and settings. Problem persists.

    Howdy jackbry,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    If you haven’t already, you can try resolving the issue with not being able to send iMessages that contain portrait photos by restoring your iPhone to factory settings as shown in this article:

  • How to use a secondary monitor in Portrait mode

    Finally discovered how to do this.  Here is how to use a second monitor in portrait mode:
    Open System Preferences from your iMac dock.
    Click Displays - Click Arrangement - Click Gather Windows - the secondary monitor dialog box opens.
    Click Rotation - Click 90 degrees rotation for PORTRAIT MODE.
    Click CONFIRM on the secondary monitor to keep Portrait mode.
    Select the desired resolution. I chose 1200 x 1920.
    You'll see a dialog box that says, "About to change the display mode."
    Click OKAY.
    Click Confirm. (If it appears. For some resolutions, I did not have to click confirm, most likely because the monitor supports those resolutions.) 
    Then resize the windows of the software you're using.
    Done!

    I too got the same. Both monitors went portrait. Then I unchecked the 'Mirror Display' option in the Arrangment tab of iMac display and voila. Got what I wanted.

  • Mail and Messages freeze in landscape/portrait mode

    When in Messages and Mail, my iPhone 5 freezes in landscape or portrait mode.  I can continue to type, edit, etc. but can only get it to rotate after pressing 'Home' button or closing and re-opening app.  I am running 8.0.2.  I notice it most when taking a break for Mail or Messages and turning phone off and when I turn back on.  I'm guessing it is a bug and not a hardware problem because I can always get it to clear by just pressing home or closing app.

    Hello there, HoosierZach1979.
    Great job in coming up with a good workaround for your issue with Mail and Messages. For issues regarding iOS not functioning as expected, the following Knowledge Base article provides a great and practical list of steps for troubleshooting:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected,  restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),  reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • Can I use an external monitor in portrait mode?

    I do not yet own a Mac, but I am doing up-front research to know what to expect.
    I currently have a Samsung 204T LCD monitor (DVI) which allows rotating the display into portrait mode.
    I know that OS X supports using an external monitor to extend or mirror the desktop. Can an external monitor be configured for operating in portrait mode? I would expect that this requires the video driver to rotate the display before sending it to the monitor.

    I will leave this answer to my original question.
    I called Apple and was completely disappointed with their answer. They indicated that they would not answer such a question, since they deemed it to be "outside of the scope of Apple support" since my question was deemed "not a consumer-oriented
    question."
    So yesterday, I took my Samsung SyncMaster 204T monitor to the local Apple retailer to try it out on an actual system. I specifically tried it out on the 24" iMac with the nVidia 7300GT graphics card, since that is the system I was interested in.
    It turned out that this monitor works beautifully in portrait mode with the above system using Tiger 10.4.8.
    So, I went and bought it!!

  • Anybody know how to get second monitor to display portrait mode on new quad

    Hi all,
    I have a G5 quad with a 6600 video card and 2 monitors. 1 is a sony 24" and the other a dell 20". I have them both succesfully running in expanded desktop mode, but I would like to set up my dell to display in portrait mode. I can set it up on the dell monitor, but when the nvidea software takes control, I am back in landscape.
    anybody know how to fix this?
    Thanks, Neil

    The Nvidea video cards don't support rotate. You need an ATI video card.

  • 5k imac + 4k external monitor in portrait mode

    I was told that the new 5k imac can support one external 4k display via thunderbolt, but the 5k imac cannot itself be rotated into portrait mode (on a vesa mount for example). If I connect an external 4k display via thunderbolt to the new 5k imac, can the external display be rotated into portrait mode so I can have 3840 pixels vertically on the 4k display?

    They are right about the increasing of rpm. However I am not sure about the cause of this problem. This is a issue I had on my 27-inch iMac Late 2013 and there is two ways you can try to fix it:
    1/ Rotate the display at 270º rather than 90º
    2/ Use an application compatible with your system to monitor and control your fan speed

  • Print SSRS Server Report in landscape or portrait mode directly(without report viewer control)

    Hello,
    .Net 4.0\VS2010\C#\ssrs 2008 on Sql Server 2008R2
    Having a problem printing a Server report while controlling the orientation and the size of the emf rendered to the physical page.
    I have the report cutting off in both landscape and portrait modes. I'm passing the following deviceinfo to the render function:
    string DeviceInfo =
    @"<DeviceInfo>
    <OutputFormat>EMF</OutputFormat>
    <PageWidth>8.5in</PageWidth>
    <PageHeight>11in</PageHeight>
    <MarginTop>0.25in</MarginTop>
    <MarginLeft>0.25in</MarginLeft>
    <MarginRight>0.25in</MarginRight>
    <MarginBottom>0.25in</MarginBottom>
    </DeviceInfo>";
    return DeviceInfo;
    string mimeType;            string fileExtension;            Stream pageStream = serverReport.Render("IMAGE",  deviceInfo, firstPageParameters, out mimeType, out fileExtension);
    No other settings seem to have an affect on controlling the output to printer or pdf.  i.e. The deviceinfo params fed to server report's render function are all you get.  I think my original code comes from an MSDN or CodeProject example. I'm not
    inventing anything new here.
    Links below indicate similar problems but they are looking at the issue from just landscape mode. Seems like I ought to be able to squash or expand the image to whatever size I specify, separate from the 'page' size.  Please let me know what i need
    to know to make these reports print without bleeding onto 2 pages or slicing off the right side of the document image.

     Hi
    FraterJoanni,
    Thanks for posting in MSDN forum.
    I am not expert in SSRS. You should get better response in SQL Server > SQL
    Server Reporting Services, Power View forum.
    After take a look at the similar threads links as you posted above.
    The conclusion is we needn’t tell the program o this report is landscape not portrait. If the width is larger than the height, the report will be printed in landscape; otherwise, it will be printed in portrait.
    >>Links below indicate similar problems but they are looking at the issue from just landscape mode.
    But in C# forum, we only from the point of code, code looks OK to me.
    A similar blog talking about this

  • Portrait mode is all messed up

    Hi,
    I have landscape mode working perfectly.
    I would say insert page from chapter (using a template from apps store).
    And then, insert pages from pages for the text for each chapter.
    But, in portrait mode is shows all the photos I deleted from the template and no text to the chapters.
    Yikes! Can you tell me what I did wrong?
    Many, many thanks,
    Elaine

    Layout in landscape.
    Edit content in portrait.
    Check in both.
    Disable share in portrait via Inspector if you intend to support landscape only.
    When deleting items, be sure to use the thumbnail pop-up menu to apply changes, etc.

  • Setting a monitor into portrait mode in OS X 10.1

    Is there any way I can set a monitor to display a portrait mode? (f.g. making 1024 x 768 into 768 x 1024) I am certain you can't do this with OS X 10.1, but is there any software utility that can "trick" it?

    Hi, kittytom200x. If the monitor wasn't designed to pivot and didn't come with a 10.1-compatible proprietary driver to enable rotating the displayed image and relocating the menu bar, I seriously doubt that you're going to find any way to accomplish that. Particularly not in OS X 10.1, which was far from complete and full-featured (to say the least!), and supported few hardware tweaks or customizations.

  • Portrait Mode to 1080p display?

    Anyone know if the mini will support a pixel for pixel portrait mode display to a 1080p consumer flat panel? The intended use is to display a website in a long format for an iPad-shaped kiosk display in a building.
    There have been a handful of posts asking about portrait display, but none seem to have developed a response.
    Thanks for your help!
