Restore display settings for MBP- where is preference?

I have a MBP and was playing around with the display settings and messed it up and now want to restore it. I have Time Machine set up- where do I go to find the setting and restore it to what it was yesterday? What folder is it in? Thanks (again), Judy

Got it restored to what it was...... Judy

  • VmWare Display settings for guest OS Win7 Pro and others not saving

    Mid-2014 MBP 15" with Retina, Intel iris Pro, 16GB, 512SSD.  Running vmWare 7.1.2 on Yosemite 10.1.2:
    - Win7 Pro VM setup with 8GB, 2 'cores', 128GB SSD.
    - the Display settings for the Win7 Pro guest won't persist when switching to and from Mac desktop
    - Doesn't matter if Full Screen or in Window, it defaults to 1140 x 900 or something like that, and will not keep settings made after Full Screen is selected
    - Having done some research before coming here: I have uninstalled and re-installed vmTools. I have tried it with 'Use Full Retina Display' setting in vmWare guest settings, doesn't make a difference other than the default size is either the maximum Retina resolution for the Win7 Pro desktop or the 1440x900 default when the 'Use Retina..' setting is set.
    - Apparently this is an Apple bug with Retina MBP and not vmWare, according to vmWare.  ;}
    Thought, suggestions, other?
    Thanks folks!

    Now having worked with VMware support.  Here's the fix for anyone experiencing this problem on a rMBP with Fusion 7.x and running Win7Pro or others as guests, that are not retaining the display settings when either rebooting the guest, pausing the guest or switching between the Mac desktop and the GuestOS desktop.
    1. Find a file named WMwareResolutionSet it can be located under ProgramFiles or ProgramFile(x86)-->VMware-->VMware Tools-->
    2. Move, do not copy, this file out of this directory, onto your Desktop
    3. Restart the Guest
    4. Whatever resolution settings you have set, should now be retained
    This assumes you have already UN-checked 'Use Full Resolution..' Retina display checkbox in VMware Settings-->Display.

  • I bought an unlocked Iphone 3GS, I needed to update Ios5 and restored the settings for that which was not authorised for unlocke, but after that iphone is not getting activate and no sim card insatlled error is there. i m using local sim card in Pakistan

    You didn't buy an 'unlocked' iPhone 3GS - you bought a 'hacked' one.
    Updating to iOS 5 removed the hack and the unofficial unlock.
    All you can do is try to find out which network the phone is locked to and ask them if they can unlock it properly.
    Otherwise, sell it or throw it away and buy an officially unlocked phone from an official source.

  • Has the underscan feature been removed from the display settings for a projector in 10.8.2 for any reason or is this an oversight

    Hi
    Does anyone know if there is another way to find the underscan feature in display settings for Mac OSX 10.8.2 other than through the display settings.  We set up our ceiling mounted prjectors at the start of September when we moved into our new school building at a significant cost. The projectors linked to the teacher's Imac projected onto the interactive whiteboards at the front of the classroom perfectly on 10.8.1.  We recently updated to 10.8.2 and now the projected image no longer fits on to the boards and is about 2 feet higher up to the wall.  The underscan feature is not available to drop this any ideas.
    Moving projectors is not an option due to the cost of bringing in the contractor to extend the ceiling mounts.
    thanks

    We have an SR raised which is now with development, but so far we have not been able to pin down what is causing this.
    Basically we see entries end up on the recovery queue with nothing written in any logs, even if we increase the level of logging to debug.
    This does not happen under load, the exact opposite. If nothing is going on and then we get 5-10 processes start, we see about 1% end on the queue. I pushed 500,000 messages through it last weekend and nothing ended up on the queue, yet a run on Monday of just 100 caused 2 entries on the queue with no explaination.
    I have tried everything I can think of, but so far have not been able to re-create the condition at will, it is completely non-deterministic. It also happens on all 5 of our rigs, so it is not machine specific.
    I have tuned the BPEL engine and it easily copes with our throughput. We are running with a 10g dehydration store, either single instance or active-passive depending on environment, but I do not think this is going to be causing an issue.
    We have about 20 async processes and sub-processes and the problem can occur at any point, although mostly on Invoke and Callback. Each process contains a mixture of async (to BPEL), sync (to External) and a reasonably number of database adapters in each process.
    It is not the fact it is placing the entry on the queue that is my issue, it is the fact we have no idea WHY it has ended there as there are no log entries.
    Any ideas what else I can try?

  • How do I restore the settings for apps using Time Machine?

    I believe there are problems with items within the Library Folder inside the System Folder.  For example, there are two "Frameworks" Folders, but one has "(from old Mac)" after its name.  I dare not try to remove or even move either.
    Back in the day of OS 9, you could modify something, then search for it by "Last Modified" Date, and find where Apple has hidden itscontents.  It's not so easy in OS X.  I've had some success using Pondini's Time Machine FAQ's, though.  Here is how I got to this problem:
    Our family MacBook died.  After getting a repair estimate of $500 to $700 "if it's the Logic Board," we decided to replace it.  We purchased a MacBook Pro running Lion.  (Later, we brought it to an Apple Store and were quoted $435 in house or $280, but they would have to send it out.  Incredible repair: Logic Board, Top & Bottom Case, Super Drive, Battery, all for $280.  No wonder they're #1).  I pulled the Hard Dive out, erased it, and installed an older operating system, but during the repair they installed 10.6.
    Restored the MBP from the TM backup of the MacBook. OK
    The Macbook is repaired and the store showed me how to restore the data from the TM backup.
    Restart and the passwords do not work due to restoring a 10.6 machine from a 10.7 backup.
    Tech support guides me through resetting an admin password using the password utility on the install DVD.
    changed the other passwords inside of Accounts in System Preferences.  Then changed the password or the other Admin.
    Restart, get a circle with a line through it.
    Tech support guides me through fixing this.
    Restart, half my Apps do not work.
    Tech support says to re-install 10.6.
    I did but I thought it would erase and install but it just re-installed 10.6.
    Most Apps work, except iPhoto.  Mail is OK sending but only receives on one of 3 accounts.
    Is there a fix for iPhoto & Mail?  If not, I would plan to erase and use the finder to drag the user folders from TM to the MacBook.  Can I just drag the Apps too?  How about all of the settings for those Apps?

    If you don't keep a backup, you can't restore your machine to any state except the state in which you received it, brand new, with none of your own stuff on it. That makes a pretty convincing argument for backing up, doesn't it?

  • Is there ANY way possible to MANUALLY restore factory settings for an ipod classic, FROM the device ITSELF (as opposed to restoring from iTunes or forcing a reformat elsewhere)?

    I have 3 iPods:  1 Touch and 2 Classics.  The Touch and 1 of the Classics are both working fine; the other Classic is not showing up in iTunes, My Computer, or in Device Manager.  While I CAN do a simple reset, it accomplishes nothing, and I am UNABLE to get the faulty Classic into "disk mode".
    Based on what I've encountered thus far, I have a suspicion that my faulty Classic somehow thinks it's formatted for the Mac, as I DO see the serial # and I do NOT see "Windows Format" in the About screen on the ipod itself.  Is that even POSSIBLE?  I have never used a Mac, but that's what the documentation I've read on this Support Site have lead me to believe.
    The faulty Classic will charge ONLY in a wall charger; it clearly wants nothing to do with my laptop as it refuses to stand up and be recognized in iTunes or in My Computer....why??!!??    I DID try all of the other obvious troubleshooting items; I tried different USB ports, different cords, different laptops, and even different ipods.....BUT....all is well with everything else BUT for this pain-in-the-@$$ ipod.
    IDEALLY.....since my ipod refuses to make itself available for me to "restore factory settings" via iTunes, the way it SHOULD be handled....., I'm wondering if there are any hackers out here that know of a way to FORCE a MANUAL restoration of factory settings of the ipod, via super-secret "key strokes" on the ipod itself (and not via the iTunes software that is curently useless for this particular ipod)....?
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!  Without your assistance, my Classic ipod remains an expensive door stop and/or paper weight.  It's behavior at this point is nothing shy of rude and inconvenient!

    There is no way to restore/reformat the device without connecting it to a PC or Mac.
    Have you checked the iPod's dock connector for signs of bent/damaged/corroded pins that could prevent a full connection with your PC?  If there is any lodged debris, take a can of compressed air to it to blow it all out.

  • Separate settings for MBP keyboard and aluminium keyboard?

    I just bought myself a Apple aluminium keyboard (USB) and have to say I'm loving it. However, there is one small hang-up.
    Basically, whatever key-commands I apply to the keyboard are taking from my MacBook Pro's keyboard settings and seem to have none of their own. I had gotten the impression that there was a stand-alone software to manage the keyboard but that does not seem to be the case as far as I can tell after about 30 minutes of searching the net and Apple's website.
    Does anyone know a way in which I can have one set of settings for my laptop's keyboard and another set for my aluminium keyboard?

  • What are the best Color "Display Settings" for both my Macbook Pro Retina and Thunderbolt Display??

    I have recently purchased a Thunderbolt Display for my MBPr (early 2013) and was wondering what were the best settings for both to obtain an equal color and graphic appearance. I want to have them identical for working on graphics and illustrations.
    Thanks

    I have the same laptop. There's nothing you really need to do to optimise the system. Perhaps just install the cuda drivers.
    It runs premiere like a dream.

  • Trouble with display settings for projector/Reactable

    Hi,
    I'm trying to install a musical hardware interface called the Reactable for use with my iMac, and I'm having trouble getting the correct display settings. It's designed to work with laptops and it works fine for the most part with my Apple Hackintosh, but I can't seem to get it working correctly with my iMac. The tech support from the Reactable company recommends that I use 1600x1200 resolution or 1024x768 (native) on the projector, but when I open my display settings I am not presented with either of those options. It only permits me to use 1024x768 and 1024x768 (stretched).
    The only instance in which I can get the projection to cover the whole table is with 1024x768, but then the projection is too large. Do I need to change the scaling somehow? How do I do that?
    Thanks,
    Justin

    1080p.    If you have a Mac Mini with an HDMI connector, connect direct through there. 
    Otherwise you'll need to look at either: Which Macs don't have audio over mini-Displayport connectivity, need either an
    Apogee DVI To HDMI Converter / SPDIF Optical Toslink+Coaxial Input Output if you have a mini-DVI or DVI (The left connector is DVI, and the right connector is mini-DVI) connector and it is Intel.
    Kanex iAdapt Displayport adaptor if you have a mini-Displayport ( http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/47/Mini_DisplayPort_on_App le_MacBook.jpg/300px-Mini_DisplayPort_on_Apple_MacBook.jpg
    ) connector.
    Note, thunderbolt connectors look the same as mini-Displayport except they have the lightning icon symbol.
    PowerPC Mac Minis, need a StarTech DVI2HDMIA connector together with an RCA minijack to red and white splitter cable.

  • How do you add additional resolution options in the display settings for the MacbookPro?

    I am using a Dell external monitor with my 2013 MacBook Pro Retina 13 inch.  The resolution is 1900x1200 which is not one of the display selections for an external monitor in the Macbook settings.  How do I update the display settings to support this monitor?

  • Display Settings for Gaming on MBP

    I'm playing Half Life 2...it auto sets everything, but it defaults into 4:3 mode, should I not be in widescreen mode?
    It has options for 16x9 and 16x10...should I go with one of those or stick with the 4:3? The 4:3 mode seems to be stretched to fit already though at 1078 x 768.
    On 16 x 10 mode, there is an option for 1440 x 900...Is that what I should be using?
    Sorry for the noob questions

    I use the 16:10 and the 1440 x 900 setting.
    Wonderful to look at... except for some of the creepy looking bad guys.

  • What are the default display settings on MBP?

    I have been working on finding the best setting for a new video projector in conjunction with my MacBook Pro.
    So I found one - but then when I went back, restarting, the MBP, I thought I was going blind! I have tried a few settings in display, but at the moment they all look "off."
    I want to go back to default -- can someone please tell me what that is?
    Thanks!
    Patty

    The brightness is fine - what I am wondering about is
    the resolution.
    Is default 1440, 900 and Millions?
    That seems to be about right now - feels better to
    the eye!
    Patty
    Hi Patty,
    Yes, that is the correct resolution. 1440X900 is default.

  • Multi display options for MBP using USB - Diamond BVU195 vs Sewell Minideck

    I have narrowed my search for a multidisplay option for my MBP down to 2 devices;
    Diamond BVU195
    http://www.diamondmm.com/BVU195.php
    http://www.amazon.com/Diamond-BVU195-Display-Adapter-included/dp/B002GHBW4S
    and
    Sewell Mindeck
    http://sewelldirect.com/Sewell-Minideck-USB-to-DVI-Display-Adapter.asp
    Has anyone had a chance to check out both of these?
    There is no easy comparison, any opinions? thanks!

    The obvious drawback of USB video adapters like these is that they tie up USB ports you may need for other purposes. If you intend to connect one or more such adapters to a USB hub instead of directly to the computer, be sure to use a hub that has its own AC power supply, and check with the adapter's manufacturer to make sure it has been tested with hubs and found to work that way.
    The less obvious disadvantage of USB video adapters is slowness. If you don't use your multiple displays for gaming or other high-speed, demanding video applications, you may not be disappointed. If you do, you probably will be.

  • HT4352 I can not find any settings for iTunes where are they?

    I have set up home sharing on my Apple TV and now I am supposed to turn on home sharing on my ipad. There are no settings in iTunes on my ipad. I have spent hours looking for them, they donotexist. I have all sorts of options to look formusicandmovies and photos butthere is no"advanced" settings, and thereis no "file - settings - advanced". There is also no setting forhomesharing, no icons. I can not find any of these options the help files are talking about. Can some one please tell me how to find the settings in iTunes on my ipad.

    now I am supposed to turn on home sharing on my ipad.
    Where did you see this ?
    But it is Settings > Music (or Videos) - Home Sharing.
    Can some one please tell me how to find the settings in iTunes on my ipad
    It is not in iTunes on your iPad.
    I have all sorts of options to look formusicandmovies and photos butthere is no"advanced" settings, and thereis no "file - settings - advanced".
    Because it is in iTunes on your computer because that is what AppleTV uses to play videos.
    Notice the paragraph heading and paragraph 2
    Setting up Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer
    Make sure you're using the latest version of iTunes.
    Mac: Choose iTunes > Check for Updates.Windows: Choose Help > Check for Updates.
    Choose File > Home Sharing > Turn On Home Sharing.
    Note: If you're using iTunes 10.7 or earlier, choose Advanced > Turn on Home Sharing.
