Resolution on same monitors not the same

So I have this litle issue. I have two identical monitors hooked up to my mac mini, one through HDMI to vga conversion and one through thunderbold to vga conversion. The monitors are exactly the same model and brand. The only issue is that some times one of the monitors resolution is awful. It doesn't happen in the middle of me working, but more or less if I disconnect it and reconnect it or something along those lines. When I try to manually set the resolution, it doesn't display my optimum resolution like then other monitor does. Anyone have an issue like this before and have a resolution? I feel like I am just over looking a setting, but I am not 100% sure. Any help is appreciated. Thanks community!

Hi, I think only a setting on the Monitor might affect it, when this happens though, if you swirch to Mirror Displays & back to Extended, does that help?

  • How can I share itunes content between 2 macs (both mine) in 2 different locations? Same Apple ID, same account, not the same network.

    I haev a main mac at my main home which syncs itunes to my ipad and iphone with no problem. I want to access the same itunes content at my mac in my second home which is obviously on a different network. I have my ipad and iphone with me so they can be on the same network as the second mac. I can share the purchased itunes content but not the uploaded content. Any ideas?

    Ok well that is not uploaded content. Maybe ripped content is a better term.
    You can transfer purchased content from your iOS devices into the new Mac if you want.

  • InDesign CS6 resolution for pixel documents not the same

    I have just opened in InDesign CS6, a document made originaly in CS5.5. This document is in pixels. At 100%, the document should be pixel for pixel with my monitor (iMac 27" at about 104 ppi), but it seems it is more at 100% if you calculate at 72 ppi. So a document of 980 pixel wide measure 13 inches on my screen! This is different from the previous way of showing pixel documents. And I can't see any preference that could bring back the resolution to the old way of showing the scaling.
    In Adobe Acrobat, you have preferences to control this.
    This count as a bug for me.

    This is truly, completely, insanely, incomprehensibly, and unfortunately, TYPICALLY Adobe. I wish with all my heart they didn't have a monopoly on creative tools the way they do. They are the Microsoft of Creative tools. Look at us, we have to do terminal style code changes to make a product look the way it should?! THIS IS CRAZY! Adobe is trying to enter the epublishing market with an app that give you the wrong pixel sizes on your screen? Ohhhhhhhhh/ Myyyyyyyyyyy. Woooooooooord! Adobe, ADOBE! Are you listening?! Stop it.
    If you are still reading. Let me offer a word of advice: We want the power of In Designs grid and guide creation, BUT can we have the simple, pathetically-normal-to-expect ability to have new objects snap to pixels?!!? I know this looks like a teenager wrote it, with excalmation marks, un restrained exasperation and ALL CAPS, but i'm just finished. I draw a square, the edges are fuzzy. I have to go to the inspector and nudge the 0.5 px off the square. Even then, it soemtimes doesnt do it. Can you image the scenario that MAYBE UI AND UX designers would like to have, oh I dunno, WYSIWYG!? I'm trying to figure out what is going on through your heads when you're designing a program with UI UX designers i mind, technally, it's being made by, oh i dunno... UI/UX designers?!? But the funny thing is, the adobe interface is beautiful. How on earth did you design that with blurry lines all over the place?
    Have you seen how type renders in Indesign at "Actual Pixels"?! Have you seen how the elegant forms of Helvetica Neue which we all know so well is output to look like it's done a bag of Ketamin? Shame on you. For reals, shame on you. These are things that your users NEEED. We need to see things as they will look. It's call attention to detail. It's like designing in the dark with you guys.
    Please dont tell me what a true pixel is. That is the most retarded thing i have ever heard, you will lose users in droves. Oh wait, where will they go to?! Nowhere! You are all they have! Nice one Adobe! But watch out you have pixelmator nipping at your feet. Soon your super overpriced stinking business model and your dicatative havent-got-a-clue, disrespectful to common sense ways will get you.
    ARE YOU LISTENING ADOBE? :-((((((((

  • Monitors are the same, but Mac won't let me set them the same in Preference

    Odd issue.
    Two exactly the same Samsung Synchmaster monitors connected to the Mac Pro to make an extended display.
    The monitor on the right never has the right resolution. When I set it's resolution to the same as the left monitor (1280x800), it looks awful.
    Finally, I checked under Preferences>Displays, and under "Arrangement" I see that the computer has the left monitor set to the right little blue box dimensions (widescreen) but the blue box on the right is more square. How do I change the blue box on the right to match the dimensions of the one on the left?
    Thanks
    Thanks

    Okay, scratch that. I set the one on the right to 1280x800, and now the blue box matches the size, but it looks terrible! I mean, really bad. Yet the same monitor with the same resolution settings on the left side looks fantastic.
    Plus, the right side monitor won't let me choose 60 MHz, whereas that is the setting for the one on the left.
    Any ideas what's going on here?

  • My exported edited image in TIFF-16bit is not the same as my edited RAWfile

    Hi! First and foremost my problem is not speed. I have learn to deal with Aperture's slowness while editing or exporting images and not real time brush strokes and occassional crashes. It thought me PATIENCE!
    My problem are my exported image from Aperture, The images are not rendered the same exact way as the RAW image I edited (quality-sharpness-saturation-definition-etc.) in Aperture. The rendering is WAY OFF. I even exaggerate in Sharpness and contrast in rendering my RAW images yet my exported (both TIFF -16 bit or JPEG orig. size) are way softer than the one I originally rendered in RAW at Aperture 3.0.2. Even the COLORS are OFF-saturation, luminance, etc. It's not my Monitor or my Eyes, I asked 3 friends to help me validate my concern. After viewing my exported (TIFF or Jpeg) images on an external preview browser, I re-import them to Aperture and put them- (the exported images) in the same Projects where the Original RAW file is located, then I carefully compare them in Full Screen view, I can totally say that they're not the same quality, sharpness, saturation, tonal value!
    It's very frustrating to experience this. I work really hard on every single image, I tolerate the sluggishness, the crashes, All I want are my image output render the way I rendered them in RAW file in regards to sharpness, color value and just the overall look that I wanted in my images. BTW I just downloaded the recent March 22, 2011 update. But still it's still having this problem.
    Please help me all you good knowledgable, compassionate Aperture experts help an Aperture user in distress.
    Thanks for your time. I appreciate any positive feedback and help.
    JC

    Richard,
    You are not going crazy, this is a well documented throughout the web
    Sorry, but the web is not documentation for Aperture.
    I cannot understand why Apple have not resolved this
    For one, it takes time to fix a bug, and the have to know about it. Have you told Apple that this is a problem through Aperture feedback? Second, someone at Aperture has to prioritize what their engineers work on. Since this does not seem to be a problem for very many people (including the well-regarded contributors whom you were trying to offend in your other post on this topic), it may turn out that it has a low priority for Apple.
    Please Apple sort this out!
    Apple does not contribute to this forum and there's no reason to believe they will read this particular message and make a bug report.

  • Simpli Home Artisan : TV Stand and Coffee Table : Not the same color. HELP

    Hello,
    I ordered and received the Simpli Home Artisan TV Stand from the BestBuy website.  We got it a couple weeks ago, put it together and love it.
    We decided to order the matching Simpli Home Artisan Coffee table to go with it.  We just picked it up today and it is not the same color at the TV stand.
    Both item listed on the BestBuy website say they are "Medium auburn brown" in color, as do the boxes we recieved. However they are not the same color, the TV stand is much darker than the coffee table.
    TV Stand: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/simpli-home-artisan-tv-stand-for-most-flat-panel-tvs-up-to-54/1622137.p?...
    Coffe Table: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/simpli-home-artisan-collection-coffee-table/1860306.p?id=1219066204317&s...
    If you go to the Simpli Home manufacturer website you will see that Artisan collection comes in two different color tones, "Available in Auburn or Tobacco Brown".
    Simpli Home Website: http://www.simpli-home.com/#!wood---artisan-coffee-table/cuhk
    The TV stand we got is Tobacco Brown, and though the color does not match the pictures on BestBuy.com, we liked it and decided it was okay, but not if the coffee table doesn't match.
    I really don't care if I get Tobacco Brown or Medium Auburn, I just want them to match.  However since I've already assembled the TV Stand, I would like to return the coffee table and get one that is Tobacco brown.
    I posted this to the forum because I know if I call the store they won't have a clue what I am talking about.
    Please let me know what I should do, and help me if you can.
    Thank you
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Greetings rtb1980,
    I can definitely understand why you would choose both of those pieces of furniture as they look wonderful, but of course it would be a chronic annoyance if the furniture didn’t match. Using the email address you registered with the forum, I was able to take a look at your purchase history and the items on our site as well as the manufacturer’s.
    As we get all of our information about the products directly from the manufacturer, it would seem that you received the wrong color TV stand, and that you would have received the correct color for the coffee table. As these items are special ordered items, meaning the orders are not fulfilled directly by us, it is difficult to say where the mix up may have occurred with your TV stand, for which I am truly sorry.  
    That being said, it does not appear that we carry the coffee table in the tobacco brown color you are looking for. Sadly, this means we would be unable to provide you an exchange for the tobacco color, although you should be able to return the coffee table within the Return & Exchange Policy. However, we should be able to provide you with an exchange of your TV stand for the correct color to match the auburn colored coffee table you received; although, I understand that this may not be the ideal resolution, as it may have been the more complicated piece of furniture to put together.
    I apologize for any inconvenience this experience may have caused you. If you should have any questions, or need any further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.
    Sincerely,
    Tasha|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

  • 2 23" Displays: Colors are not the same.

    Hi there
    I a running a G5 with two 23" Cinema Displays.
    I had to get one of the two displays exchanged because a USB port wasn't working anymore. The new display has different colors than the older one (the new one has more blue - the older one more red). The first two displays had absolutely the same colors.
    As I have seen the two monitors use the following two profiles:
    - Cinema HD Display-4248B25.icc (older display)
    - Cinema HD Display-4248780.icc (newer display)
    In these two profiles the values are not exactly the same.
    I tried to set the monitors to the same profile (for example: sRGB-Profile) but the colors are still different.
    Is there a way to resolve this or this simply a hardware related issue?
    Any help is highly appreciated.

    There are variations LCDs are made. Differences in color can come from the LCD panel itself or the fluorescent backlight used to light up the screen. Thus, it's very difficult to get two displays that look exactly the same unless they are purchased together and happen to have been made right next to each other at the factory. Try calibrating the LCDs, though that will only go so far to match the colors better.

  • In a multiple monitor situation, how do I get popup windows to open on the same monitor as the parent application is displayed.

  • Log-on client 200 is not the same as BI clients "600"

    Hi Experts,
    My data load got failed and when i checked the error message, it says " Log-on client 200 is not the same as BI clients "600"".
    Diagnosis
    You are using client-dependent BI functions in client 200. However, the standard BI client is 600.
    System Response
    The function is terminated.
    Procedure
    Maintain a destination in the BI standard client. For information, see SAP Note 522569.
    I went through the sap note and checked the maintenance of  rfc desination. But not able to uderstand this issue. Do anyone have good idea about this issue.
    Thanks in advance.
    Anand

    Hi,
    In BW, you must work on only client. As the error said, you log on to client 200, but using 600 client as the connected one. Please check the source system conncection whether it is given for the default client in RSADMINA table BWMANDT field or not. if not change that.

  • Line item Ship-to Info is not the same in Header Ship-to Party During Sales Order Creation via IDOC

    We have observed that during creation of sales order using idoc, the line item ship-to party is not the same with header ship-to. The ship-to party info in line item is equivalent to the header's sold to party. To give you a quick background, Sold to party info is given in idoc and ship to party is being determined using table EDPAR. In this specific scenario, sold to customer is not the same with ship to customer.
    Initial checking on the code leads us in function module VIEW_KUAGV. This FM populates partner details of sales order header and line item in program LVEDAF1Z
    Below is the code for Sales order Header. Notice that WE_INPUT parameter which contains Ship to party is passed as exporting parameter in FM VIEW_KUAGV. This is the reason why Ship to Party is populated correctly in sales order header but not in sales order item.
    Initially, it first set to Sold-To Party. However, if WE_INPUT is given or provided, partner details is set to Ship-To Party.
    Please advise on how we can make the ship to party info in header and line item be consistent. This is SAP Standard program which why we are hesitant to make change on the program. If there is a configuration to make this happen, kindly advise.
    Regards,
    Rommel

    Hi Jayesh,
    If I understand you correctly, you want that when creating SO from Quoatation
    the Ship to Party also follow/copy Ship to Party from Quotation, right?
    Just to confirm with you, when you creating SO reference from Quotation, you
    use copy/follow-up function, am I right?
    You can do this by setting in configuration of Copy Control (like mentioned by Hui).
    Step as follow :
    1. Go to IMG->CRM->Transactions->Basic Settings->Copying Control for
        Business Transactions
    2. Create your BAdi (Business Add-In for Copying Control), such as get Ship to
        Party value from source document and use it in current document
    3. Use this Rule you have created in BAdi (no. 2), in copy control transaction type
        IMG->CRM->Transactions->Basic Settings->Copying Control for
        Business Transactions-> Define Copying Control for Transaction Types
    4. Here you set Copying Routine for your transaction types (put name of your Badi
        created in step no. 2)
    Or alternatively, you can set it on access sequence in Partner Function
    Ship to Party in configuration. You can define access sequence the Ship
    to Party is taken from Preceeding Document -> Ship To Party
    1. Go to Partner Function access sequence :
        IMG->CRM->Basic Functions->Partner Processing->Define Access Sequence
    2. Create new access sequence with following entry :
        - Source COM_PARTNER_A (PrecedingPartner)
        - Check Mapping for Partner Being search
        - Partner Function in Source  = Ship To Party
    3. Assign this Access Sequence in you Partner Function used in Sales Order Transaction
       Type.
    Tell me if this is what you looking for

  • With iTunes match, order of the songs in my playlist of mobile devices is not the same as on my computer

    In my iTunes on computer, I have several smart play lists. Within each playlist, songs are set to a certain order. Some playlist songs order are organized by name, some playlists are organized by Album, some playlists are organized by artist etc.
    When I was syncing my iPhone and iPad directly with my computer, the playlists on my mobile device had same order of songs as on my itunes in computer.
    Now, I signed up for iTunes match. With iCloud sync, order of the songs in my playlist of mobile devices is not the same as on my computer. In fact, order of songs within a playlist appears to be completely random. Moreover, order of songs are different in my iPhone 4s and iPad 2
    How can I change the order of songs on my mobile devices or how do I make iTunes match to sync my songs such that within a playlist, my songs are in the same order as that of iTunes on my computer.

    Thanks mracole. I assume this means order of songs will work with regular play lists I iTunes match. Will try it this afternoon and report.
    Please let me know if my understanding is not correct.
    Best regards and thanks once again.

  • I'm trying to reinstall Mavericks on used Macbook Pro. When I log in to my Apple ID, it says it was not the same ID used to purchase Mountain Lion. I need to change user/admin as a lot of the folders and apps are in Chinese!

    The first thing you should do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model. Look it up on this page to see what version was originally installed.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. I suggest you install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. If you don't have the media, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    Once booted from the disc or in Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
    After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, buy it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
    If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
    If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able toauthorize it under your ID. In that case, contact iTunes Support.
