Resolution problems with desktop pictures?

at the beginning of ml my high resolution images, 60 mgb. were ok. now if I choose a vertical image to fit the screen, the image shows highly noticeable pixelation. that did not happen in lion, mountain lion 18.8.1, nor in snow leopard. also is happening in the last update of lion 10.7.5. has anyone told apple this annoying problem?. there is also another problem, and this one is real big. black and white images show color, like when you saturate too much an image on "hue and saturation" in photoshop. I think this problem has to do with color sync.

Go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.desktop.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash. Restart your Mac.

Hi Noob Søren
There are a few things that are confusing in your question.
As far as I know, you dont have to install Time Machine on this OS as it is already installed for you. You only need to connect a hard drive to your computer via firewire or usb, click on the Time Machine icon, Open Time Machine Preference in the drop down menu and select a disk: your connected hard drive.
You can of course reformat this connected device, partition it into a few volumes to organise data if you so wish.
I find it strange that your mac's hard drive is divided into two volumes... perhaps this was created through bootcamp?
You can access the configuration of your hd through Applications/Utilities/Disk Utilities.
Clicking on one of the icons on the right hand panel will bring the details of the contents of your hardDrive and volumes. From there you can decide to erase a partition, reformat etc....
If your hd contains more than one volume, and one of them is empty, you could decide to remove it. Back up all your important data before doing so.
Hope this helps

Problem with displaying picture.

I use PS-CC and LR5.on a HP i7 computer and windows 7.Camera D-800, pictures in raw.
I usually import pictures in nef in LR5,. After some corrections, I export my pictures to DNG format. I sometimes do a little bit of work in camera raw then go into Photoshop.
My problem: When in photoshop, I get a grainy version of my photo which wasn't the situation in LR5 or Camera raw, Hard to work with. The grains will disappear when I enlarge the picture but then I have to enlarge it so much that I only see or can work with only part of my picture. The problem does not appear in CS6.
Hope somebody can help me.
Thanks
Jacques Legault

I should clarify this.. When I import photos into LR5, I always use copy as
DNG. I know that NEF and DNG are the same for photoshop and I always shoot
in raw.
One thing I do not know is how to do a screen shot. I will get back tro you
on that. When I say grain, or noise if you like, I mean that, if i relate
to films, my picture in LR5 would be at ISO 100 and my screen shot in
photoshop would look like it was boosted to 1200 or worse.
See you soon I hope with a screen shot.

I hope i've been clear enough to let you understand this... explanation =P
Anyone can help?

My system has started "freezing". Actually, usually when I'm browsing the net, Chromium stops loading pages. Conky stops updating, and usually I can't switch to another programs. I can't start xkill from menu, menu opens but nothing starts. If I run "ls" etc in Terminal, nothing happens
I can however control+alt+F1 to CLI, but if I try to login nothing happens.If doesn't help even if I kill X (I started it with startx). And if I don't kill X, I can't go back from CLI with control+alt+F7, there's just a black screen.
I'm using Nvidia drivers also, and XFCE4. This started happening some time ago, I think I was using Gnome2 back then. And I have updated my system, and this has happened at least with 3 kernel versions. There's nothing on logs. Well, actually, there's "TCP: Possible SYN flooding on port 6881. Sending cookies" errors on everything.log. But those don't happen when system freezes. And sometimes Chromium stops loading pages but other programs don't freeze, I think it's a problem with cache or something.
Not really sure if this everything happens because of Chromium. I think I'm gonna switch back to Firefox and see what happens. Usually I'm running Chromium, Opera (use it just for a couple of pages), couple of Terminals and Kaffeine.

WINDOWS INSTALLER PROBLEM WITH DESKTOP MANAGER

Please help!! I am a user of the Blackberry Desk Top Manager, running under Windows XP Service Pack 4.5. I recently downloaded the latest version of Desk Top Manager and I am getting the following error: - Flashing intermittently, whilst running the newly downloaded Desktop Manager - "Windows Installer Preparing to Install". I have removed the programme, downloaded it again from Blackberry's website and run my Windows updates to no available. I have now been advised that I must format my entire computer and reload Windows, which seems to be a rather onerous solution, as I have been using Blackberry's Synchronisation Programme for over a year successfully before this took place. I should appreciate it if you would let me know how this problem on my IBM Think Pad Laptop can be cured.

Hi all..
I am having the same problem with desktop software 6, but my problem is more like this..
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB19300
The Windows Installer pop-up during installation and cannot continue, it seems that windows installer 4.5 is the cause, but I cannot uninstall windows installer 4.5 because many of my programs were using this..
In this knowledge base solution it says to run BlackBerry Desktop Software.msi, but on BlackBerry Desktop Software 6, it need to run from setup.exe and cannot continue.. so I cannot install desktop software 6 on my computer, but I am able to install older version desktop software ie. version 4.2 to version 5.
I think that I am gonna reply here instead of making new thread about windows installer 4.5 and Desktop Software 6, please move if I did wrong.

Hi ihalimsujanto and welcome to the forums!
My first concern is that you do have a version of desktop manager that you can maintain your device and PIM data with, do you?
Please post back with as much detail as possible regarding your hardware and software setup.
Also post what steps you have taken to resolve the issue. The more detail we have the better we can help you. I'll reread KB 19300 and find what happened to my broken link.

Xorg nvidia resolution problems with KDE

I just installed Arch 2008.04-RC last night. I configured xorg.conf using nvidia with the screen resolution set to "1440x900" which worked in both the X Windows and KDE 3.5.9.
I was trying to get xine working with Amarok. At one point, I deleted ~/.xine and xinirtc to force itself to reset. I then rebooted at which point I noticed the resolution set only at "640x400" in KDE. I checked the Display Settings and that was the maximum resolution I could choose. I then switched to the vesa drivers which allowed a maximum resolution of "1024x768".
I removed xorg and nvidia and reinstalled. I can no longer get a resolution of "1440x900" resolution for my Viewsonic VA1926v flat screen monitor. I read on the xorg log that
I am using the Nvidia GeForce 7300 GT video graphics card. uname -r: 2.6.25-ARCH
From /var/log/Xorg.0.log I get the following information when I am using vesa:

I am at a loss at trying to fix this one. Something similar happened when I was running Gentoo on this same desktop back in April. I also have the same low resolution problem when using Sabayon.
Any help here would be much appreciated :-)

I thought these frequencies were a bit low too. My manual said there were the frequencies. I checked online and it said the same. I need to do more research on it.
I did manage to get my 1440x900 resolution back using the open source nv drivers. I had to do the same with Gentoo and Linux Mint in the past. Everytime I used the nvidia drivers, my monitor returns to the 640x400 resolution and I noticed the only way to avoid it was to use nv. I do not play games online or use Compiz so it does not bother me.
Thanks.

Small problem with desktop

When I chose desktop picture from my pictures folder (by clicking on plus and browsing the picture in desktop preferences) it doesn't show previews in some of the folders - it shows empty icons without pictures. I know it's not a major problem but still irritating. Does anyone know why this can be and how to fix it? (when I open same folders with finder everything is shown normally)

Make sure you have connect the speaker jack in green color out port which is back on the tower.
Now perform this steps.
Step1 Changes audio settings in BIOS
1. To enter the BIOS, turn on the computer and begin pressing the F10 or F1 key
repeatedly untila BIOS Setup screenopens.
2. In the BIOS Setup screen, press the F5 key.
3. Select yesor OK(press the Enter key).
4. Press the F10 key. Select yes or OK to save the default settings (press
the Enter key).
5. Start the computer and check for sound. If there is still no sound,
continue with these steps.
6. Use the Left and Right Arrow keys to select the advanced tab.
7. Find and select the advanced menu items that correspond to audio. This
may be one of the following:
8. Onboard Audio, Onboard Audio Options, I/O Device Configuration, On-board
Sound, Audio Codec
9.Select either Enabled or disabled depending on the computer configuration
and press Enter.
10. Press Enter to save and exit and check for sound.

Problem with Desktop Setup

My problem is, I select one of Apple's desktop pictures. The picture changes when I select to change on frequent times (for example every 30 minutes) or when I select Random. Is there a way to stop it from changing immediatly? Thanks

This may be a bug related to Remote Desktop.
I have a problem where Remote Desktop tries to steal the focus when I work with Excel on a dual monitor setup. So, if I have Excel open on one screen, and if I then have a remote desktop session on a second screen, sometimes when I copy that back and
forth from the RD window, the taskbar will begin to flash as if trying to get the control when I work in Excel. Note that my primary computer is Windows Vista, I am using Excel 2007 and I am using RD to connect to a Windows XP computer. Both computers
are fully patched with the latest SPs. Monitor 1 (left) is the primary monitor that has Excel on it, and Monitor 2 (right) has the RD window in full screen mode.
This becomes a problem because normally, my taskbar is hidden, but each time the RD window keeps flashing, it unhides the taskbar and covers a lot of my work. I do not recall this problem occuring in XP, but I may have forgotten. Also, I have only
noticed this problem when I am working with RD and Excel. In addition, this problem is not consistent and the problem sometimes doesnt occur.
A workaround that I use is to not open the RD window in full screen mode.
Anyone else have this issue, or any suggestions on resolving this problem?
Thanks.
Have you tried updating your Remote Desktop software?
I was having this issue on Windows XP SP3. Fixed the issue by updating Remote Desktop from version 6.0.6001.18000 to 6.1.7600.16385.
See this article for more: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/969084
EDIT: Unfortunately, this did not solve the issue as previously stated. After updating RDC it worked for a few days, then the issue came back. Still have not found a solution :(

Resolution problem with GF4 Ti4200-TD 128MB DDR

I am having problems when I switch my display resolution to 640x480x32.
It also affects any application which runs in the affected resolution.
I tried re-installing the VGA card in its AGP slot and its drivers after removing my previous VGA card and its drivers.
The driver that i am using for the MSI VGA card, which is 4.13.2890, is already updated via LiveUpdate, which is now 4.1.3.3000
My system consists of:
AOpen AX34 Pro Motherboard
AGP 2X / 4X
Intel Pentium III 800MHz
512MB RAM
Direct X 8.1
Windows Me
Looking forward to you reply. Thank you for your help.

izel,
Get the latest Via 4in1 Drivers and try running the Card in AGP 2X. Do not expect much from the Via Apollo Pro 133 Chipset. Lots of problems with the GART.
Take Care,
Richard

External monitor resolution problems with Mountain Lion

I have a problem with my external monitor (Samsung LS19B150NS) and Mountain Lion (running on unibody Mac Mini). Each time I reboot OSX the resolution get reset from native 1366 x 768 to something lower. The display is connected via DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter. Some observations:
- I tried selecting "Best for..." option or "Scaled" (set on 1366 x 768 or 1360 x 768). The problem is still there
- Sometimes resoltuion might stay alright for several reboots, but then the problem re-appears again
- Sleep mode doesn't reset resolution
- Other monitors work fine via the same adapter
- The Samsung LS19B150NS work perfectly well with other Win PCs
Any suggestions how to fix it?

Resolution problems with Acer aspire 5520

Hello,
I'm having trouble making both tty and Xorg resolution be native. I have an nVidia 7000M gpu.With nouveau drivers I managed to get KMS working, but realized Xorg resolution is wrong. If I set the right resolution with xrandr the problem with tiling WMs similar to what I explained in this thread. What is different is mouse can go to the blank part and still be visible, floating windows could be placed in the blank area or resized to full screen, but WM won't ever place windows there. Some tiling WMs are able to utilize the full width of the screen. WMs that do not work like this are dwm, wmii and musca.
Dwm has problems displaying conky in its bar (cuts of a lot of output). This made me think the problem is not the resolution/driver and, dwm being my favourite WM, helped hiding the problem.
Wmii utilises the whole screen after change of resolution, but leaves an unmovable vertical line where right edge of a window used to be prior to resolution change.
Musca just works, but could take some getting used to.
All floating WMs work perfectly.
Then I tried nVidia closed source drivers, which worked perfectly in Xorg. The problem was no KMS. I installed and enabled uvesafb, but it did not change the maximum tty resolution from 1024x768.
The WMs I tried:
dwm
fluxbox
i3
musca
snapwm
spectrwmsubtle
A lot of others I either did not like, or they required some configuration to even start
What I tried to fix the problem: various xrandr options (with nouveau), various kernel command line options (with nvidia) and what was mentioned in arch wiki about screen xorg configuration. Nothing I did to "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-screen.conf" had any effect so I just deleted the file to ease switching between nouveau and nvidia.
As to which driver I intend to use... I don't care as long as it can display everything correctly.
P.S.
/etc/modprobe.d/uvesafb.conf has only one lien
options uvesafb mode_option=1280x800-32 scroll=ywrap
cat /sys/bus/platform/drivers/uvesafb/uvesafb.0/vbe_modes
says top resolution is 1024x768.
EDIT:
Just now I've tried every tiling WM I could find, and the ones working are echinus, musca and qtile.

Problems with simple picture gallery

I've got a website project where the client wanted a picture
gallery. I don't really do much with Flash so I went on the web and
found a tutorial on how to get what I want. Problem is that the
instructions I followed are fairly old so I couldn't export my
movie any higher than AS2 and Flash 6 and have it work. That would
be fine except that I wanted to use a feature that requires Flash 8
or higher, namely a gradient mask. I was hoping that I could post
my code and have the board gurus help me out with what i need to do
to get everything working together.
First you'll want to create a movie using AS2 and Flash 8 to
see what I'm trying to accomplish, then export it again with Flash
6 to see it actually working. You can grab a copy of what I'm
working with here:

All help greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
David

based on experience. i didn't check your file.
you're not likely to get anyone in this forum to check your
file.
if there's not code problem, and you can't publish for flash
8, there will be an error message. if you can publish for flash 8,
you see no error message but your application fails to work
correctly, you must have a problem with code.

Problems with the pictures in automatic mode

I bought an xperia Z1 just a few days ago, I just find a problem with the camera flash, when I take a picture in automatic mode.
failure is, when a picture is taken in autmomatic mode, the right side of the picture, left with a bright white shadow, wich is ruining the photos.
I need your help, Its so frustrating, I thought I had made the right decision when I bought this computer, but apparently not
attached a sample image
hopefully you can help me
kind regards

Probably there was something that reflected your flash.I suggest you disable flash in panoramic night shots.
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us - J.R.R. Tolkien
