Resolution too high for monitor

hi again, i had some problems installing arch linux, so i quit and tried ubuntu, but it seems that he doesnt like me and my ati card, so i couldnt get the cube and all efects working.
so here i am again, my problem was:
i install arch
make all updates
install gnome and gnome extras etc
then, i run "x -configure"
create an account
and i activate gdm (through the "rc.config" i thing)
now i get to the problem, when i try to start arch when it comes to the graphical enviroment, the screen goes blan and tell that can't support resolution, that its too high. should that be automatic? how can i solve the problem? driver problem, should i use my tft cdrom? help me please:(

This can be done with a line that looks something like this:
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
Make sure the highest resolution is the one your monitor supports.
Edit: that line goes below the "Depth" entries in the "Screen" section (usually near the bottom) of xorg.conf.

Resolution too high for me

All of the current Mac Book Pros and Mac Books have a native screen resolution that makes it difficult for me to read without getting a head ache. I do not believe that I have special needs and I am not a senior (in my fourties). However I still prefer my old 1.67 GHz 15 PB with the 1280x854 resolution. In fact I was lucky to get one of these old ones. I really wanted to get an Intel book when they came out but I could not deal with that resolution. I actually had to return it. Reducing the resolution does not work either since only the native screen resolution looks sharp and crisp. I just came back from the Apple store since I really want to get a Mac Book Pro now. I thought that maybe the 17 inch would be better for me. Unfortunately its the same problem. Reading the menu items alone gave me a head ache. These computers seem to be made for teenagers. So is there a solution for me such as a new graphic card or a replacement screen that would make it easier for "seniors" like myself to use the computer?
15 inch PB Mac OS X (10.4.9) 1.5 GB

too me it is perfect, any higher would be really really pushing it.
the resolution is great for production type work, animation, photography, film, design, illustration, etc. but maybe not the best for business type work.
I am 20 and have become very adapted to reading tiny text, just in general i think, not just on computer screens but with everything.
1680x1050 on a 17" when Apple uses 1680x1050 on their 20" monitors, but that is just how it works, Apple is not manufacturing these displays so they have to stick to the standard sizes available.
Are you mostly at a desk with your laptop? or more taking it with you on your lap?
I am kind of suprized however, that their isn't a way to increase text size of the Mac UI, maybe their is??
if "Resolution Independence" turns out to work like it should, that will be a nice feature, and it should indeed solve your problem, if the whole UI is scalable like the icons, etc. are now.

PGC has an error--data rate of this file is too high for DVD

Getting one of those seemingly elusive PGC errors, though mine seems to be different from many of the ones listed here. Mine is telling me that the data rate of my file is too high for DVD. Only problem is, the file it's telling me has a datarate that is too high, is a slideshow which Encore has built using imported jpg files. I got the message, tried going into the slideshow and deleting the photo at the particular spot in the timeline where it said it had the problem, now getting the same message again with a different timecode spot in the same slideshow. The pictures are fairly big, but I assumed that Encore would automatically resize them to fit an NTSC DVD timeline. Do I need to open all the pictures in Photoshop and scale them down to 720x480 before I begin with the slideshows?

With those efforts, regarding the RAM, it would *seem* that physical memory was not the problem.
I'd look to how Windows is managing both the RAM addresses and also its Virtual Memory. To the former, I've seen programs/Processes that lock certain memory addresses upon launch (may be in startup), and do not report this to Windows accurately. Along those lines, you might want to use Task Manager to see what Processes are running from startup on your machine. I'll bet that you've got some that are not necessary, even if IT is doing a good job with the system setup. One can use MSCONFIG to do a trial of the system, without some of these.
I also use a little program, EndItAll2 for eliminating all non-necessary programs and Processes, when doing editing. It's freeware, has a tiny footprint and usually does a perfect job of surveying your running programs and Processes, to shut them down. You can also modify its list, incase it wants to shut down something that IS necessary. I always Exit from my AV, spyware, popup-blocker, etc., as these progams will lie to EndItAll2 and say that they ARE necessary, as part of their job. Just close 'em out in the Tasktray, then run EndItAll2. Obviously, you'll need to do this with the approval of IT, but NLE machines need all available resources.
Now, to the Virtual Memory. It is possible that Windows is not doing a good job of managing a dynamic Page File. Usually, it does, but many find there is greater stability with a fixed size at about 1.5 to 2.5x the physical RAM. I use the upper end with great results. A static Page File also makes defragmenting the HDD a bit easier too. I also have my Page File split over two physical HDD's. Some find locating to, say D:\ works best. For whatever reason, my XP-Pro SP3 demanded that I have it on C:\, or split between C:\ and D:\. Same OS on my 3 HDD laptop was cool having it on D:\ only. Go figure.
These are just some thoughts.
Glad that you got part of it solved and good luck with the next part. Since this seems to affect both PrPro and En, sounds system related.

PS some IT techs love to add all sorts of monitors to the computers, especially if networkded. These are not usually bad, but are usually out of the mainstream, in that most users will never have most of these. You might want to ask about any monitors. Also, are you the only person with an NLE computer under the IT department? In major business offices, this often happens. Most IT folk do not have much, if any, experience with graphics, or NLE workstations. They spend their days servicing database, word processing and spreadsheet boxes.

How do you fix error message "data rate for this file is too high for DVD. You must replace this file with one of a lower data rate".

When trying to burn a DVD it will go through the encoding step and at 98% we see the message 'data rate for this file is too high for DVD. You must replace this file with one of a lower data rate". We need help to correct this so we can complete burning to DVD.

I install latest update from my ipad 2, after the upgrade tablet running slowly. Probably the system requirements too high for my device. I think that users with older models should be able to install IOS 6.x.x on their devices or consider buying devices from other manufacturers ...
People are dissatisfied with the new update a lot, including some of my friends and acquaintances. Is it reasonable to wait until Apple implements the possibility to return to Ios Ios 6 to 7? And how soon it can be done?
Sorry for my english, i am from Russia.

I have a similar issue. I recently purchased an iPad Mini, and I started off by backing it up from the apps I had on my iPhone. Now, I have a number of apps that never downloaded and that I don't want on the iPad. Some of these are apps that I don't need, while others are the iPhone versions of apps. There are something like 23 apps that I have no use for, but iTunes tries to install every time I connect. I've also tried clicking the 'Will Install' buttons. There's no way to delete these apps from the iPad without first installing them, as far as I can see, and there's no way to NOT install them, in iTunes.
It''s not just annoying, it's causing problems with installation of larger files and movies. Now, every time I sync to the computer, I get a warning that I'm over capacity by 580 MB, and larger apps will not install! Clicking Revert and a bunch of other things doesn't work, either. And I can't just delete some of the apps, because I or my wife use them on our phones!

Photoshop CS6 work window too tall for monitor display

On a MacBook Pro 15-inch retina display running OS 10.8.3, in Photoshop CS6: after launching PS, the work window is too tall for the monitor display. The bottom is cut off: there are no bottom scroll bars or nor any of the page info, I can't grab the resizing corner to change window dimensions. Also, I can't change from Standard Screen Mode: neither the left tool bar nor the F key has any effect. I've quit and restarted both the PS app and entire computer but problem persists. How can I fix? Thank you.

Try quiting PS, setting your screen resolution to the max setting, which will make apps appear smaller. Restart PS, resize the PS window so that it's small, quit PS, and set you screen resolution back to where you had it.

Accidentally set my screen resolution too high

I was playing around with screen resolutions and accidentally set one too high and now every time i load up my Computer, it says 'Input not supported' , please help me.

It would help greatly if you:
A) Identified the installed operating system
B) Identified your HP desktop PC. (look on the service tag. Post the complete p/n
If your OS is Windows 7, start the operating system in Safe Mode. Press the power button and before Windows begins to boot, start tapping the F8 key. Choose Safe Mode. In Safe Mode click on the start button and type msconfig in the search all programs and files box . Click on the msconfig icon that appears above to invoke msconfig. In the msconfig dialog choose the Boot tab as in the following image. In Boot options put a tick inside the box to the left of base video, then click on apply and OK. Restart your PC and right-click an unused area on the desktop and set your resolution. Choose the recommended resolution. After you do that, go back to the msconfig and remove the tick mark in the Boot options -->Base video, click on OK and restart your PC. All should be back to normal again.
The desktop I am using has a dual display setup, so yours will appear a bit differently. the operatng system will recommend an optimal resolution and designate it as recommended.
Best regards,
erico

Is 1600 RPM too high for fans?

The default fan speed is 1400 RPM but when I play games I turn it to 1600 RPM using SMC Fan Control. Is that too high?

That is why I only advise a max range for the fans for people setting the IMac fan speeds, manually.
But you cannot advise a max speed in isolation, as you have. It all depends on the default speed. 1,400->1,600 is only +200, while my default HDD at 1,100, which I may push up to 1,600 is + 500.
Anyway, it's mostly guesswork. No one really can say how fast is too fast. And no one's going to do any trials to find out at what speeds and for how long running at those speeds will premature aging of a fan motor likely begin.
And there's also the tradeoff of increased dust input from higher fan speeds to consider.
I have a window fan that's 40+ years old and still going strong (cheap shaft bearing), mainly because I have an electronic variable speed control which allows me to set it at the lowest necessary speed, plus I oil it periodically--something you can't do with an iMac fan.

OS 10.3.9 defaults to a refresh rate that is too high for my monitor.

Hello experts!
I bought a great little NOVA 15" LCD VGA monitor which I love since it has a TV tuner built-in. It is capable of 1024 * 768 @ 56 to 75 Hz. Unfortunately, from start-up Panther uses a default of 85 Hz whenever this monitor is the only one attached, and nothing gets displayed.
I can leave the Mac on and swap VGA out to my old Apple 15" Multi-scan and the desktop is there. Now that I can see what I'm doing, I can change the refresh rate from 85 Hz to 75 or 70 or 60 Hz. Still leaving the Mac on and switching the VGA output back to the NOVA LCD results in a normally displayed picture at any of the 3 lower refresh rates. But if I open Display Preferences and press the Detect Displays button, the desktop disappears and the NOVA monitor indicates "no signal." As you may have guessed, Panther is trying to give it 85 Hz again.
The monitor is DDC 1/2b compatible, and the ATI 9200 is DDC 2a/b compatible, so they should be sending the right info to each-other.
What I would like is for someone to tell me how to make the Finder change the Monitor settings to 1024 * 768 @ 70 Hz in a way that can be assigned to a Function key (say F5). That way, when the Mac has finished starting-up, I can just press F5, and even though the screen is blank the Finder will run a little program to change the monitor settings and, voila, I will have a working display.
I have looked into Apple Script, but it seems to have no control over this sort of function (unless I have missed something).
Many thanks in advance, and Happy New Year!

The router is much, much newer than the computer, perhaps some characteristic of the WiFi network as it's currently setup is preventing the computer from connecting.
Try to go back to the basics: set your WiFi network to "b" mode only (i.e., turn off "g") and termporarily remove the password from it. See if the computer will at least establish a connection at that point. Then start turning on one thing at a time ("g" mode, then security, etc).
Not sure what format your WEP key is, but if it's not 10 characters (the minimum for the standard, which constitutes a 64-bit key), you can try making it that long. If it's 13 or 26 characters, it might be a higher encryption than the computer can support.
If all else fails, you could try looking on ebay/craigslist for a copy of Tiger to install on the iMac, which would have software support for more WiFi encryption schemes. Also, it would provide software support for USB WiFi adapters that would also be able to connect to more modern networks.

Is it possible to make a photo's resolution too high

I am struggling with printing my christmas photos. I scanned my 8 X 10 photos at 1200 dpi which gave me a 9620 X 11936 file which is 38.3 MB. If I am patient enough...meaning hours of waiting...my PC will print the photos to my HP 1200 dpi printer using the Kodak EasyShare Software. These prints turn out great but it is too painful. iPhoto won't even print to the HP, preview, or save a pdf of them. I just want excellent quality prints and the 600 dpi looks bad. I'm also interested in trying out a book order. Can anyone help me figure out how to print these files? Is it possible to send files this large in for a large hardcover book order? If I need to drop my resolution how can I do it without rescanning? And last, What resolution will give me photo store quality prints from both my printer and if I order prints from the iPhoto program?
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3) imac and tower

then save as TIF or JPEG.
Another really good alternative to TIFF or JPEG is PNG. PNG is a lossless file format that has about half the file size of a TIFF. I've been using it for scanning my slides.
The resolution you should scan at depends on:
1. The actual quality of your scanner. Is it really a full 1200 dpi scanner or is it interpolating to give that resolution. There are some other tricks that scanning software like Silverfast can do to decrease the noise and increase the dynamic range, that have more impact on image quality than sheer number of pixels.
2. The quality and nature of what you're scanning. For an 8x10 photo, 1200 dpi will just show up the grain in the photo paper. Same thing for scanning a 35mm slide at over 1600 dpi -- depending on the film stock, you may hit the resolution of the film before you max out the resolution of the scanner.
3. What you're going to do with the image. Obviously printing a very large print, or cropping down to a small portion of the frame requires more pixels (assuming they have real data in them). Prints from Kodak, etc., on photo paper actually require fewer pixels (150 dpi for the final print size) than printing from your inkjet or a photo book (which uses a halftone screen that does best with about 2x as many pixels as lines in the screen, or about 300 dpi).
Bottom line, the final number of pixels across for your scanned image is more significant than the so-called resolution you scan at. A good quality 1200x1600 pixel image is more than adequate for many purposes.

Screen resolution too high - text is tiny - how to change?

I'm a newbie to Audition, and spent 2.5 hours this weekend editing a 6.5 minute talk. Ended up with a massive headache, largely because of the small size of the text in the screen menues, etc.
Anyone know how to change these? I Use a MS Surface 3 pro with very high resolution (21160*1440) with a 22" screen set at 1680 *1050 (max for the screen) .
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Pounding head...
Mike Bland

You don't mention which version of Audition you are using, but support for High DPI displays was added to Audition and other Adobe applications last year. This adds support for icon and text scaling, which is configured at the OS level. Found a good overview and write-up about this at How to Make the Windows Desktop Work Well on High-DPI Displays and Fix Blurry Fonts but the quick-and-dirty method is to right-click on your Windows desktop and choose Screen Resolution then click on the item Make text and other items larger or smaller. There, you can select scaling at 125% and 150%. You'll probably need to log back into your Windows account for the change to take effect.

Picture reject resolution too high.

The new HP 5520 I bought will not print pics via ePrint when the resolution is less than 100 dpi. I am taking it back if I can't change it. 72dpi is fine for many uses. HP just wants to force me to use more ink. Any way to change it?

Hi,
Viewing on normal computer screen, 72DPI is goo enough but printing photos at 72DPI you actually waste your inks. To get a better prints, you need al least 150DPI.
Hope this helps.

Sample rate too high for swf or PowerPoint export

Hi,
I have a few presentations that need to be exported to swf or PowerPoint. Each of the slides use audio Voice Over. The problem is that when I go to export I'm told that because the audio uses a sample rate of 48khz it can't be exported.
Anyone know if there is a way around this?
Thanks

Yes I meant to say AC3 (Dolby Digital) instead of
AAC.
Sorry for the confusion.
OK, thanks for clearing that up.
What bitrate (avg./max.) are you using for the video? With three angles, the maximum combined bitrate for each track (including audio) cannot exceed 8Mbps.
