Resizing Screen Resolution for Specific Apps?

Hello team,
Is it possible to resize screen resolution for specific applications? Most of my apps look fine at 1024x768, but there are a couple of older OS 9 apps that I need to run (talking school computers here) which are a bit on the small side when viewed at that resolution. Can I somehow set things so that when those applications are launched, the resolution changes to 800x600, and then reverts to 1024x768 when they're quit again? Any and all details about this will be most appreciated, and I thank you in advance for your help!
Electronically yours,

LCD panels must be used at their native resolution. Whatever it is for you monitor is what you must set it to.

IPhone 5, Is there a way to stop screen rotation for specific apps?

The automatic screen rotation feature is useful - sometimes, and just plain annoying other times. I prefer to read my e-mail in portrait mode, however the slightest movement or rotation while doing so will cause the screen to rotate (with the phone generally still in portrait position). I then have to shake the phone to get it to rotate back. This is very annoying.
I would like to be able to lock the screen rotation for only a single app (e.g. mail) while still keeping it active for the camera, or videos. Many of the book programs that I use, have this feature built-in, however this question is for apps that do not have this built-in.
The built in rotation lock is all-or-nothing, and is generally a pain to use. It adds another step to just about everything I do (If I read mail, then want to view a video, I have to go back and unlock it).
Is there a way to lock the screen rotation for a specific app?

I would have expected this function to be available in settings where the application specific settings are located. (At least for the major applications like e-mail).

11gr1 - Handling different screen resolutions for an enterprise app.

Hi,
We are developing an enterprise application that will be deployed at different clients with different hardware.
We are confused about how to handle different screen resolutions and wonder how others are handling this.
We have some fixed size areas in our screens and liquid areas for content that may expand. The problem is say that you have a table with 6 columns. This table will be rendered nicely at 1280X800 but not at 1650X1050 or 800X600.
At higher resolutions we will either end up having some blank space or expand one of the columns of the table , but can't expand every column proportionally and this will look ugly.
For lower resolutions same problem in a different way will come into picture, we will not able to resize the columns and end up with scroll bars etc ...
What is the best practice with handling different screen resolutions for components like table,panel splitter etc ?
Thanks

Hi Muhammed,
I don't think that any better solution exists, you already use liquid layouts and define widths & heights with percentages etc. In my opinion using blank column at the end of table columns makes table's looking better. Additionally creating custom skin for table and defining column heights & widths with % or em may help you to stretch columns?

Push notifications for specific apps not working even though the badge updates (Facebook, Google etc.)

So this has been happening for months now. I was expecting iOS 5 to fix it, but it hasn't. Push notifications for specific apps do not work. Some come through just fine, but Facebook and Google+ in particular don't work correctly. Facebook push notifications seem to work when the notification is generated from an action performed on a mobile device (ie: someone writes on my wall from another iPhone); if they do the same thing on the desktop, the notification doesn't seem to come through.
As for Google+, I've never seen a single push notification come through as it should, even though I've seen other iPhones with the same app reciving these notifications with no issue.
This is particularly strange because the badge on the app icon usually updates (though it feels like fetch, not push), but the notifications simply don't make it into the notification center (or on the lock screen as they should). As I said, this has been happening for months, long before iOS 5, and the problem has persisted now that I'm running iOS 5.
I've checked and rechecked all notifiation settings for these apps. I've uninstalled and reinstalled them. I've called Apple support and they couldn't offer me any help. Does anyone have any idea what's going on here?
Thanks for your time.

I got an iPhone 4s and I'm experiencing the same problems. I used facebook messenger, and used to get the push notifications to that app, but now that i've deleted it I no longer get the messages directly to the facebook app.
I have push on in the mail settings and notification center for facebook are on as well. I also have push notifications on in the settings for facebook.
I've tried deleting the app and reinstalling, no fix. I haven't tried a hard reset yet.
So far, I figured out that it's not iOS or the facebook app, somehow it is a problem with my account. I logged into my wife's account on my iphone and her account is able to recieve push notifications to my iphone.
Any thoughts?

Cellular data only for specific apps

Is there a way by which i can enable cellular data only for specific apps? Lets suppose i want only mail and viber to run on cellular. So how do i enable cellular network only for viber and mail

Hello all,
I have been using the iPhone 4S for about a year and I never had problems untill a few days back. Since about a week, my 3G settings for applications installed automatically reset.
Path >> iPhone screen >> Settings >> Mobile(Cellular) >> Use Mobile Data For >> "List of all apps installed"
Against each application, you have an option to either enable / disable the mobile data usage:
Eg:
App Store          (swipe left to disable || swipe right to enable)
Contacts          (swipe left to disable || swipe right to enable)
Facebook          (swipe left to disable || swipe right to enable)
Facetime          (swipe left to disable || swipe right to enable)
Weather          (swipe left to disable || swipe right to enable)
You Tube          (swipe left to disable || swipe right to enable)
etc...
Problem:
If I don't want You Tube to use mobile data, I would normally swipe left to disable thus the application will not start / stream any music if its on 3G/4G. Since a few days, whenever I disable the option for any app... go back to the main screen and recheck the settings, I see its enabled again!
The error I see when I start the app is:
MOBILE DATA IS TURNED OFF FOR "YOU TUBE"
You can turn on mobile data for this app in settings
<Settings>     <OK>
When I go back to settings... I see the option is enabled.
Now I dont know what and how this happened all of a sudden. I have tried resetting the network settings for my iPhone, and it has not helped me.
My iPhone is updated to OS 7.0.4 and all apps are updated.
Anyone can help me on this error and how do I fix this?
FYI... I have no problems connecting to WiFi at all!

Problem with roaming for specific apps

Hi :)
I have a problem with my iPhone 4s:
When i use roaming on my iPhone 4s i try to save some money by turning off roaming for specific apps, but one day for ca. 3 weeks ago it stopped working!
Some apps can use roaming but some can't ;(
There are like 10 apps always turned on, but if i try turning roaming off for an app that is on already it wont work!
If i close settings and reopen it, the app is now denied using roaming!
If i try allowing an app it changes but still wont work and after some time it gets in the same possission i cant change!
I have never experienced this before and i could't find an answer on google ;(
If you know how to fix it please respond to me here :)
~somonekilledme
P.S: Im really sorry if there are bad english here, but im mot english sooooo..... yeah

You are on the right track suspecting DHCP conflicts.
To configure your "roaming network" connect your "slave" Extreme to your main Internet router - either directly or through a switch - and place it in "bridge mode". That will work.
A router will be distributing IP addresses using DHCP. Anything connected to it should be configured as a bridge, the essential difference being that a bridge does not distribute IP addresses.
I do not believe your "slave" Extreme will function connected as it is to the "main" Extreme, but may work if you assign it a static IP address. It is not unusual for it to retain this static IP after having been changed to DHCP if its lease is still valid.
The OK article you referenced must be terribly outdated if it is referring to AirPort Admin Utility. That has not been used in about a decade. Read this one:
Wi-Fi base stations: Extending the range of your wireless network by adding additional Wi-Fi base stations
Unfortunately its screenshots refer to AirPort Utility 5.6, which has been replaced with the prettier, though less useful 6.2.

24"iMAC optimal screen resolution for photo processing

I have a 24" iMAC (matte) and do mostly photo editing. What is the optimal screen resolution for photo processing work?
thanks
a/d/

All Screens are 72 dpi (dots per inch- in reference to pixels) no matter what screen resolution you use. The only difference the screen resolution will make is the size of the photo when you are viewing. Higher resolution means the picture will take up less space in you work area, but you will most likely have to zoom in to edit finer areas. Lower resolution will cause the picture you are editing to take up more of your work space and to see multiple photos side by side you will have to zoom out of fron the photos. So, really the choice is up to you.
When creating the original document, this is where you need to monitor the dpi. The higher the dpi, the clearer your photo will look in print. A high dpi also means more disk space is being taken up by the photo. Generally a good dpi for print is 300 dpi. Anything that is only purposed for a screen based project (i.e. internet logos) should be saved at 72 dpi. Why use disk space and cause your pages to take longer load if no one will be able to tell the difference on screen between 72 and 300 dpi?
Hope this helps!

How we will maintain screen resolution for tmaintaining able control in BDC

how we will maintain screen resolution for tmaintaining able control in BDC. can you give the code or how we have to set it

Hi,
You need to use the CTU_PARAM options with the call transaction method.This is used if you would like to do a commit work once call trnasaction is done. This has also got very important property, for example if your Screen resolution is different from others then the screen (Application) will be different that is you'll be having say 5 lines in your screen where as your friend will be having 8 or 10 so your program might fail in this case. If you set variable DEFSIZE as 'X' it will always use the default screen size and hence avoids error.
Use CALL TRANSACTION 'XXX' OPTIONS FROM w_ctu_params.( type CTU_PARAMS)
This structure contains the follwing.
DISMODE : Display mode (like the MODE addition)
UPDMODE: Update mode (like the UPDATE addition)
CATTMODE: CATT mode (controls a CATT)
CATT mode can have the following values:
' ' No CATT active
'N' CATT without single-screen control
'A' CATT with single-screen control
DEFSIZE : Use default window size (Here we are handling those transaction by giving default window size)
RACOMMIT: Do not end transaction at COMMIT WORK
NOBINPT : No batch input mode (that is, SY-BINPT = SPACE)
NOBIEND : No batch input mode after the end of BDC data.
The components DEFSIZE , RACOMMIT, NOBINPT, and NOBIEND always take the following values:
'X' Yes
This might help u in better understanding...

Screen resolution for iPhoto

Optimum Screen Resolution for Slides

I need to create a few slides which will be displayed full-screen. Since
there's no way to know the resolution of the monitors of the many
participants, how do I choose the resolution of my slides? Are they
downsampled in any way by the Adobe server when I upload them? My screen
resolution is 1920 x 1200 but I suspect a slide built to that resolution
would create problems for viewers on smaller monitors. Am I right? Is
there an optimum screen resolution for slides viewed during a Connect Pro
session?

Natively you'll get a resolution of 1440 x 900 or you can pay for an upgrade to 1680 x 1050(current models).

My screen resolution for iPod touch got out of spec. Looks like iPad sized

Tonight I was updating about 5 apps (not sure which ones) and all of sudden something changed my screen resolution on my iPod Touch. The icons look to now be sized for an iPad. I can no longer actually access anything on my iPod as nothing fits on my screen.
As you one can imagine I am very annoyed.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Scott
