Resolution Problem with External Screen

I hooked up a 26" LCD TV to my iMac. When I go into the resolutions tab it only gives me 4:3 resolution which stretches on my 16:9 TV. I tried SwtichResX to set a custom resolution but it did not work. Anyone have any ideas?

I'd be surprised that it would survive all your resets, but the problem might be that you have accidentally turned on the Universal Access Zoom used for sight impaired people. Check System Preferences / Universal Access and see if Zoom is set to on or off. Off would be good.

Late 2010 Unibody MacBook -- Resolution problems with external display...

Hi Apple Community,
I have a late 2010 white unibody which I've been using with my 30" LCD TV, both as a secondary monitor and in clamshell mode. I connect with an apple display to hdmi cable. I've been using this setup for a few months and it has always looked FANTASTIC. Never any issues. Then out of the blue, just the other day, the resolution on my 30" had become all screwed up. Now it is very pixelated, color and resolution are all off, and everything lags.
What I've tried so far: I've checked all the display settings in system prefs. Res set to 1080i, color calibration is set to factory settings, etc. I restarted multiple times, with the monitor connected and without. I rebooted in safe mode to reset all display settings to factory. I've checked my cords, used the secondary hdmi port on my TV, messed with display settings on the television and still NOTHING.
I cannot for the life of me figure out why this suddenly started happening. Any suggestions would be greatly greatly GREATLY appreciated! (I had to watch Game of Thrones on my computer screen! My 13" computer screen! Oh! The indignity!)
Thank you all in advance!
PS - I run Lion and all software is up to date!

Macbook Pro late 2013 - problem with login screen resolution

Hi,
I've got problem with login screen resolution, after upgrade to Yosemite. I use the 4rd resolution (last one) on my Mac Pro (late 2013), and after restart login screen is always on optimum mode... But it's only about the login screen.
Do you know how can I fix it? I would like to have the same resolution on every screen.
thx in advance

I Reformatted the CF card on the new computer   it works fine now on the new Mac Pro
Interesting point about the low power of the usb ports   I had to deal with all devices ejecting them selves when the mac pro was idle or slept Drobo needed a Firmware update and another drives needed me to change the sleep setting or the Mac Pro   to never and i also had to deploy a script to write to each device ever minute,   this kind of sold the problem with external Hard drives.   I wonder if the lowering power to a CF card   can eject it in a manor which would make the computer think it is corrupt.
I have looked at buying a power usb Hub    but seems only one or two of the ports are powered.
Seems to be a bit problem with the mac pro especially as everything has to be connected externally
Will assume the Firewire Connector does not work.

we made some test with parameter BYPASS_INB_HANDLER, set as 'X' but this not solve our issue.
We have an implementation in badi BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER to map product category, even if I set an external breakpoint in this implementation, system does not pass through it, also we test with this implementation inactive and behavior is the same, nothing transfer to shopping cart
Does anyone know what's missing?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
José Luis D.

Hello Jason,
Thank you for your answer, but as I told, If I set an external breakpoint it does not stop for debugging, so I can't see table as you recomended. This process (debugging) is familiar to me, in last version I can do it.
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance, best regards

Problem with SAP Screen

Not sure if this is the correct forum.
Okies, a user of mine has a problem with her SAP screens. It seems that she can't view the full screen of CJ20N She has to drag the window bigger to be able to see the content. She uses this window in a split monitor view, i.e. some of the applications are displaying on the laptop window while other applications display on the monitor.
Details of her SAPGUI:
Release 640 Final
File version: 6404.4.16.1015
Build: 774474
Patch Level : 16
Do note that her primary monitor (notebook) is always set to 1280x800 and the secondary monitor is set to 1024x768. Anyone encounter this problem before?

Hi,

Boot with External screen

hi,
i broke my n500 screen, and im using an External screen. the problem is that the fnkey works only after i boot an os.
i want to format, but it wont switch to the ex screen till im boot the os.
Thanks

actually its a connection problem. i used to "twick" one of the cables(the brown one that looks like tape) till i got some image, and with time i destroyed it compleatlly. the shops and the lenovo lab want to much money for me to invest in this old laptop. its easier for me to buy a new one. but im still want to keep this one.
is there really no way to boot the n500 with external screen?

I have got a problem with my screen... my screen becomes blurred, horizontal streaks. What can i do ?

Problem with External 2.1 digital speakers

Anybody have any problems with external digital speakers connected to the SPDIF connection? I have a 1215-600XT, and I tried connecting my old DELL Boston Acoustic 2.1 speakers. They worked, but any time a "sound" played, a loud pop would follow the end of the sound track. If its multiuple sounds (i.e. an application that is making numerous alert sounds) I get multiple pops. It even happens at the endf of music tracks. It was so annoying, I stopped using the speakers. before I invest in another set of speakers, want to know I am not wasting my time.
Also, anyway of getting the soundcard to support digital 2.1 or other sound? The set-up screen only shows stereo for external speakers and no way of adding more.
Sincerely
Scott

pmoney,
If you need a RMA, you will need to contact Customer Support either via email or phone. Also, it may be a fault with the sub and not just the cable alone, anyway contact Customer Support and they will be able to assist further.

Problems with external context mapping

Hi ,
I am having the following problems with external context mapping from one WD component to another.
Problem description:
In the <i>Component Interfaces</i> I have defined a WD interface "InfA".
In the <i>interface controller</i> of this compoenent,I have ContextA and attributeA(cardinality 1..1).The contextA is marked as an "Input Element".
Now my webdynpro componentB adds InfA as used component.In componentB I decalre a contextB with attributeB and map it to contextA to set up the external context mapping.
Now I expect that if any webdynpro component implements this WD interface InfA ,he has access to contextA with the data getting filled from contextB.
After i have created the component for the used component I try to fill values in the source node contextB thru this code:
wdContext.currentContextB.setB(value);
But in the runtime I keep getting error nullPointerException for nodeContextB,suggesting that the mapping has not been completed.
Can anyone suggest due to what the error can come ,and, if its a webdynpro bug ,is there a workaround??
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards
Sourav

HI,
Valery : I personally checked by doing the example, if the names of value attribute are different in the child's interface and parents component controller then it throws the exception.
Sourav: NullPointer Exception is thrown when something is not properly initialised, if in the main component the cardinality of mapped origin is 1.1 then you need to access it element directly like:
wdContext.currentParentNodeElement().setFname("Abhijeet");
wdContext.currentParentNodeElement().setLname("M");
i will suggest just check out if you are declaring some element of value node and without initialising taking its use or what?
if this doesnt solve your problem, please post the expanded exception.
hope it helps
let me know if you face nay problem
regards

I have a problem with external editing preferences where Photoshop will not launch when I choose "Edit In"...

Hi. I have a problem with external editing preferences. If I add Photoshop as an external editor, it won't launch when selected, if I add it as an additional external editor it will. Why? How can I fix this as I need to use Photoshop and another program as the additional external editor.
I use a Mac running OS X (10.8.5) and PS CS4 and LR 5.7. Any ideas on a fix? Thanks in advance.

I don't know why Photoshop won't start. However, it's possible to create external editor presets using the additional external editor tools. There are instructions on how to do this in the Lightroom help. You could assign Photoshop and create one preset, and then assign another program and create another preset.
I don't know if deleting your preferences would fix the problem or not. It can sometimes fix other problems.

Problem with sub-screen actions on Cancel button

Hi all,
I have a problem with sub-screen.
I created a subscreen (screen sequence in MM01/MM02/MM03). When users leave this screen, I call POPUP_TO_CONFIRM to ask if they want to save the data.
1) My goal is: when they choose Cancel, no actions are performed and users will see the current screen. However, I cannot use command: SET SCREEN 0 or LEAVE TO SCREEN 0 because the system gives an error message:
*SET SCREEN not allowed in subscreens*.
2) How can we determine when the user leaves the screen? which value of SY-UCOMM will be used to check this?
Thanks in advance.

for dis SET SCREEN is not required.
Consider d code given below as n eg:
CALL FUNCTION 'POPUP_TO_CONFIRM'
    EXPORTING
      titlebar              = 'SAVE'
      text_question         = 'SOME _QUS'
      text_button_1         = 'YES'
      text_button_2         = 'NO'
      default_button        = '2'
      display_cancel_button = ' '
    IMPORTING
      answer                = l_ans
    EXCEPTIONS
      text_not_found        = 1
      OTHERS                = 2.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    MESSAGE e066.
ENDIF.
IF l_ans EQ '1'.    " when yes is pressed
   MODIFY db.
   commit work.
   leave program.
ELSEIF l_ans EQ '2'. "when no is pressed
    leave program.
ELSE.     " when cancel is pressed
ENDIF.
In above module when Yes is pressed it saves data den leave prog.
As no action is specified for cancel button it will remain on that screen only from which popup is called, in this way ur problem can be solved.
Reward properly.
