Resolution problems with os x yosemite

i downloaded os x yosemite i can't get a good picture i can only use 1080p to small pluse it only loads a page in center and its to small,its hooked up to my tv lg 46 inch

Hi greggg1,
I'm not sure how your Mac is connected to your TV but it sounds like a settings issue.
There are couple places to look.
OS X Yosemite: If the picture doesn’t fill the TV screen
If you connected your Mac to a TV and the images don’t fill the TV screen, try turning on Overscan.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Displays, then click Display.
Click Options, then select Overscan.
OS X Yosemite: Adjust your display’s resolution
Depending on how you adjust the resolution, some apps may not fit entirely on the screen. Using a scaled resolution may affect performance.
Set the resolution for your primary display
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Displays, then click Display.
Select Scaled, then select one of the scaled resolution options.
There may also be settings on the TV you may need to set, like zoom.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

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

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.

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.

You realize that the OP is asking about YouTube videos and 10.10.1 system. The topic is 6 months old.
Boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down) and reinstall the system.

Big problems with Audio in Yosemite

I use an external sound card to record and play back audio but Yosemite won't let me switch between outputs. At first there seemed to be a problem with the internal audio outputs which would either stop altogether or disable volume control, especially when changing from internal speaker output to headphones.
Now the output options, including the soundcard, are listed in preferences but the system won't switch over to the external card - it just persists using the onboard speakers even though the external card is highlighted. I've updated the external card's drivers and ruled that out as a problem.

Hello to everyone on this thread,
I'm yet another person suffering from these audio problems, with a project months in the making at risk.
I've been in discussion with Apple though, and there might be an answer lurking out there.
To avoid duplicating thread information, please see my post 'Audio fade problems, please help' on this link:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2133799#2133799<</div>
Although there is more research to be done, you might all find this encouraging thus far.

Problem with OS X Yosemite - 'Update required' when opening

Hi everyone,
I updated my 2012 Macbook Pro with OS X Yosemite and it seems the installation didn't fully complete. When I restart my computer I always fall on this grey screen, and instead of my name and picture there is a '?' with 'Mise à jour nécessaire' (Update required) where my name should be.
When I enter my password it's like if my Mac ended the download, and it finally opens normally. But this happens every time, like if there was a problem with this step and it wasn't correctly installed.
What can I do to fix my problem so my Mac opens normally without 'ending' the installation all the time?

You may start in Recovery mode and see if you can check &/or repair
the computer hard disk drive; or perhaps re-install the failed OS X?
•OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support
There also is a method to access OS X Utilities in Recovery to see if
the hard disk drive and other items are OK. Be careful since these can
also totally erase all content from a hard disk drive if Disk Utility is used
incorrectly at that point.
Good luck & happy computing!

Resolution problem with pdf presentation from CS4 in Bridge

I have CS4 and am consistently having problems creating multipage pdf files using Bridge; though they are created using 300 dpi files in Photoshop CS4 the resulting multipage pdfs from Bridge are not print quality. I never had a problem with this before Bridge was required to create pdf presentations. The files used to create the presentation in Bridge are either psd or Photoshop pdf at 300 dpi. I am completely self-taught in Photoshop and my skill level is moderate at best, but I am not finding anything to help me so far in searching google and forums. Does anyone have any info to point me in the right direction? thanks-

Have you applied all the updates for photoshop cs4 including this one:

Resolution problem with Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter

Hi,
I have a unibody MBP 15', running on 10.5.8. I use 'Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter' (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB570Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=Nzk2MDk5OQ) to connect to my external HP LP3065 30' monitor. I get max resolution of 1280 x 800 for external monitor which supports resolution of 2560 by 1600.
This monitor used to work fine with old MBPs, but not with my unibody MBP. What could be the problem? Adapter or MBP?
I am missing high resolutions
Thanks in advance!
Rohit

You have the wrong adapter. The one you have is single-link DVI, which does not support 30" displays. You need the Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter:

Display resolution problem with Lightroom 5 on a laptop

I installed Lightroom 5 on my older Lenovo laptop with 12080x768 native screen resolution. This meets the minimum display requirements, BUT... When I open Lightroom and try to set up preferences, the lower part of the preferences window is displayed off the bottom of the screen and I am unable to move it up to make changes. This problem occurs with other Lightroom windows also. So I can not use Lightroom 5 on this laptop. Any idea how to solve the problem?

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.

Resolution Problems with 30-inch Apple Display and my new iMac

I'm not very good at computers, so I could use some help. I just bought a new iMac 24-inch, 3.06 Duo and I have an Apple 30-inch display I had connected to my MacBook Pro. Now I can't get a resolution better than 1280x800 and the cinema screen flickers a bit. I bought a mini-DVI to Dvi Adaptor. What else am I doing wrong? The display is enormous on the cinema display and I need to use that for my photography. Help anyone, please?

i'm not sure if you area sking this... but it seems like the info about the iMac is not to do with the problem, but your problem is with the 30 inch screen and the macbookPro?
If you are asking about a macbookPro plugging into the 30 inch screen, these should be able to run full resolution from what i remember,
you need to check that you are NOT trying to run mirrored desktop as this will limit the resolution to the maximum possible of the smaller display (your macbookpro) which will mean you can only go up to 1280x800 but if you uncheck the 'mirror display' option you should be able to set independent settings for each screen.
