Resolution issues for macbook

I have connected my 13" macbook pro to my hp 2211x monitor in order to convert my broken screen laptop into a desktop. After toggling the display, I was able to arrange the displays correctly by mirroring them but the resolution is awful. Any thoughts?

Alas, I must further my quest for knowledge regarding macintosh's fine line of computerized products. Hopefully with your assistance and patience I will become a bonafide mac-whiz! kudos!

Resolution scaling for MacBook Pro (non-retina)

I see that the MacBook Pro Retina has a nifty resolution scaling feature that can make the fonts/icons look bigger while maintaining the display's native resolution.
Does the non-Retina MBP have the same ability? I would really like to be able to scale by 125% (fonts/icons appear 125% bigger) while keeping native resolution of 1440x900.

Sorry, but I don't think it's possible. The Retina display does let you choose a couple options that are higher resolution than half, but as far as I can tell those appear blurry just like selecting that smaller resolution does for you, and all it really does is make the OS treat it like that's the resolution. At best you'd only get a few things taht would look any better than just straight up setting your resolution to 1280x800. I looked around a lot and wasn't able to find anything.
@pcpu Sorry, but that wasn't what he was asking. On the Retina MacBook you have 4 or 5 scale options, a few of them make it so you don't have the full resolution possible, but it's bigger than 1/2 the display resolution anyway, and I guess it might display UI elements that are vector in the actual full resolution, but most things look blurry from what I've heard. He was asking if it was possible to do that same thing on his display, which I looked into, and I was unable to find any way to make the computer do the same thing on a non-retina display. Telling him about how retina works isn't what he wanted, he wanted the UI bigger, and the UI is entirely vector or some such at this point so it would have looked just fine bigger if he could scale.

AD DNS resolution Issue for specific Site

Hello Experts,
Currently I am facing issue for DNS Resolution.
I have 2 Sites
Site A(2003 R2 DC) & Site B(2008 R2 ADC)
my domain name is abc.co.in
and I have another forwardlookup zone abcl.com (mail.abcl.com/Dev.abcl.com)
I am able to resolve host recoreds for abc.co.in & abcl.com from site A
I am facing issue for Site B
unable to resolve A records for mail.abcl.com
when I am trying to resolve using
============================================================
nslookup mail.abcl.com 192.168.0.5 (Site B ADC)
getting below output
Server : adc01siteB.abc.co.in
Address : 192.168.0.5
Non autoritative answer :
Name : com.co.in
address : 192.254.185.209
Aliases : mail.abcl.com.co.in
==============================================================
mail.abcl.com - 192.168.0.11 (Actual Internal A record)
I want to know why this trying to resolve from external DNS (192.254.185.209)
your help / pointers will be appreciable
R Udeg

Is your settings for site B the same for site A in the DNS Server properties?
Did you make sure that UDP and TCP port 53 is open both ways?
Did you make sure all resource records have been updated?
Did you flush the cache/ scavenging happened?
Did you check the DNS forwaders and recursion?
Remember if a DNS server fails to resolve a name for which it is not authoritative, the cause is usually a failed recursive query. Recursive queries are used frequently by DNS servers to resolve remote names that are delegated to other DNS zones and servers.
Note: If you disable recursion on the DNS server, you will not be able to use forwarders on the same server.

Resolution issue with macbook pro 13 (late 2013) and dell u2711

I have a Dell U2711 (native resolution 2560x1440) that I use without issue with a macbook pro late 2007 (running 10.10.x), various iMacs and Macbook air 2011 running 10.10. When I say without issue, the display works at its native resolution.
Last week we got a MacBook Pro 13in, late 2013 model.
If I connect this macbook via either thunderbolt connection to the u2711 using either DVI port on the dell, the maximum resolution that I can use is 1920x1080. I am using apple mini displayport to DVI adaptors (I have tried 2 different ones and 2 different DVI cables, with no improvement). Clicking option + scaled in sys prefs does not give the native resolution as an option.
However, I just discovered that if I use a DVI to HDMI adaptor and I connect the macbook to the display I get the full native resolution without issue (2560x1440).
I have zapped the pram, powered down the display etc etc etc and it made no difference.
I would prefer to use the mini DIsplayPort to DVI adaptor rather than HDMI, any suggestions appreciated.
TIA.

Cac reader issues for Macbook Pro

I am unable to access military web pages with my current cac reader. All of my fellow macbook users are having the same issues. Please advise how to resolve this issue. Thank you for the support
John

Flash the Firmware in the USB CAC Reader. Enable DOD Certificates in KeyChain.
Delete old Keychain Certificates and CAC cache. Copy new Certificates from CAC in KeyChain. Ensure Email address matches what's on the CAC. Specific Email setup information:
- Setting up Mac Mail
- Setting up Thunderbird
Found this unsure on how to do this.

Intermittent screen resolution issues on Macbook Pro

My screen can be clear and then reduced resolution or reduced color palatte. So I know the screen has full resolution capabilty, it just changes without notice for no reason.

I've just purchased an Envy Rcline 23-k300br and eversince I turned it on for the first time, I 've noticed an issue with the screen: the resolution of the screen is VERY BAD as I can see something like "strips" pof pixels, which makes it difficutl to read things on it (if looks as if there was a plastic film covering it, but there isn't). The pixels seem not to have a continuity, making the image (especilly in written text) very ugly and irregular. I have also noticed that when I press the back of the screen (for example to move the computer's position), the front screen shows a blurred yellowish spot (whcih changes the correct color of whatever is being shown on the screen at the moment), which disappears as soon as I stop pressing it (notice that even the slightest presure will cause the spot to appear).I have a Touchsmart 640 (windows 7) and the screen has an awesome resolution and it's perfect! I cannot understand why this happens on Envy Recline, since it's supposed to be a more modern (and improved) computer.

Are there any known issues for macbook pro freezing (applications mostly) because of internet fluctuations?

Hi,
I live in Philippines and our internet speed here is not very reliable. It fluctuates a lot and sometimes, it would just drop to zero and then kick back in again. I don't know why this is so - either it's our DSL or our router. Nevertheless, I just want to know if there are issues with applications freezing in macbook pro (esp safari) due to internet fluctuations, causing the color wheel spin and the my laptop freezing for few seconds or sometimes minutes. Everything would freeze, all I can move is my mouse and thant's it. Usually, if an application is not responding, it's only that application. But l noticed this time it's causing the whole system to freeze. I just recently upgrade to Mountain Lion.

Welcome to Apple....
Kumusta Ka? Ma init pa dyan?
If you're browsing the web and you're internet connection is slow or sometimes dropping, it is normal for Safari to hang or freeze for a little bit until it connects to the site you're trying to view or visit.
Try this - go to system preferences - network - advance - dns and change your dns server.

Heating Issues for MacBook Pro (early 2011)

Hi
Am facing heating issues and am looking for what should be the ideal fan speeds for CPU Temp range
My Mac Details
MacBook Pro (13-inch Late 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.3)
Processor : 2.8 GHz Intel Core
Memory : 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Storage : 750 GB SATA Disk
Graphics : Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB
My standard use is Mac with one VM (Win7) running.
What I have observed is the Fan speed is generall ~ 2000 rpm for CPU temp range of 55 - 70 Deg C.
Should the fan be spinnig faster as the base of the machine does become too hot for comfort to be working on Lap.
Are there any apps that can help me run some tests to montor performance?
Please help.
Thanks
Brijesh

A MBP should not be used on your lap since your body will act as an insulator that will inhibit heat dissapation.
Heat generated will be a function of the stress placed on the CPU/GPU by the number and type of applications you have open. Skype, video, games, and the like can result in temperatures that approach and exceed 100 c. There are internal sensors that will shut down the MBP if it starts to over heat.
The temperatures that you have reported are not unusual and are well within acceptable parameters for the MBP. The fans will start to speed up, when the heat increases, as required. Some users install fan control software, but I am of the opinion that what the Apple engineers have installed is satisfactory and need not be altered.
You may encounter a runaway application as described in the following link. Usually a restart will solve the issue.

Display Color/Resolution Issues on Macbook 2.1 running 10.6.8

My macbook 2.1 (late 2006) is having display color issues. Computer starts fine but when it loads the desktop, the display seems to be mismatching colors and at a very low resolution. The error can be corrected by plugging in/unplugging an external display. Adjusting other display settings does nothing.

Hi Beeble80,
If the colors appear to be inverted, a function of Universal Access/Accessibility may have been inadvertently activated:
Apple Support: Mac OS X displays inverted image colors (white on black, reverse type)

If the display issue you are seeing is something else, you may find the following article helpful:

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:

Isolated wifi connectivity issues for MacBook Pro

When I connect my MacBook Pro to the wifi at my university only google.com and apple.com load. No other websites will load (including gmail.com). It is an isolated issue to my machine with this one particular network, as my iPhone connect to the same network with no difficulties as do other MacBook Pros and PCs around me. My MacBook Pro shows excellent signal strength when connected to that network.
When I am using my home wifi or wifi and work, I have absolutely no issues with connectivity or loading any pages.
Can give me an idea as to what might be going wrong?

There's a reason why the Finder in the dock is doing this. Click on the icon and tell us what the prompt says.

OS reinstall issues for macbook pro 10.8

I have a used macbook pro 10.8. I erased the macitosh HD and tried to reinstall mountain lion OS*. Used my appleID but not allowed to download the OS because my appleID does not show any purchase of mountain lion.
Am I required to purchase the OS in order to continue?
Is there another way?
*The reason I went about deleting the HD was because the previous owner had an admin. password lock which I lost and clean everything off it.

Thanks for your reply. Your suggestion reminded me to try restoring from an earlier backup, but no success. An error stopped the restore process and left me where I started.
Password reset.... I should have done more research before doing what I did. No more DIY when it comes to computers.
