Retina MacBook does not display full resolution in apps

Hi everyone,
I was trying to run a few games, urban strike and tribe to be exact and when I set resolution to 2880x1800 only top left quarter comes on, I cannot see anything else. Tried with 1440x900 resolution and still getting same results. I don't know if apps are trying to scale but I cannot run them full screen. Running windowed mode works just fine. My resolution is set to Best for Retina, I also tried using resolution changer to set the screen to 2880x1800 and still seeing the same result in the full screen apps, any ideas?

Hi there joemoto,
You may need to adjust your display resolution. Take a look at the article below for more information.

Safari does not display full URL

Safari 6.0.5 will not display full URL until I click in the URL Location bar. For example, the full URL of this page is:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/question-post!input.jspa?containe rType=14&container=2131&fromWidget=true&question=Safari%20does%20not%20display%2 0full%20URL
However, in my Safari location bar it displays only the domain level path, i.e.:
https://discussions.apple.com
Is this new behavior a featue or a bug? Is there any way to make it display the full URL as it has since the beginning of time?
Thanks!

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

External Monitor will not display full view MS apps.

I have a HDMI monitor that was previously working fine. The other day I went to use Word and Excel and the applications would only appear in the lower toolbar. When I would select them they would not enlarge. They remained in a thumbnail view. My email and Internet work as expected. Any ideas what's causing this?

Macbook pro stopped displaying full resolution on Dell U2713HM monitor

Hey guys,
I'm using the late 2013" retina Macbook Pro with OSX Mavericks.
I've been using a Mini DP to DP cable to output full 2560 x 1440 on my 27" Dell U2713HM.
One day while I had that monitor plugged in, I also plugged in my HDTV via HDMI for an extra screen. When I did that, it set my Dell to 1080p and ever since then I cant seem to change the resolution back to its native res.
When I go to the display options for this monitor, under "Scaled Resolutions", the entire section is blank. It gives me nothing to choose from. I've restarted my computer a few times, plugged the cable into the other Thunderbolt port, nothing.
I've tried new cables and went to the Apple Store and they did a PRAM reset. It seemed to work fine when they hooked up a Thunderbolt display to it. But I just cant get my Dell to go full res again. I tried the first cable on another mac and a PC and both let me view it in full resolution. Just not my Mac.
Any advice? It makes no sense why it was working perfectly fine for a long time and then completely refuses to do so only on mine.

I have the same setup - late 2013 macbook pro with Dell u2713hm. I've tried connecting with both a mini dp cable to dp (as included with the dell monitor) and also a hdmi cable and I get a strange result - I get full resolution but it looks terrible - pixalated and faded.
I also have a macbook from around 2009 which I can connect using a dp-dvi adapter and then the dual dvi connector that came with the monitor. It gets a lower resolution but actually looks better.
Any ideas? Have you seen this issue with your setup (which seems the same as mine).
Thanks,

XML Publisher report output in RTF format does not display full page

Hi,
We have one XML Publisher report, the output of report in RTF format is not getting displayed in Full Page in normal way (MS Word -->View menu --> Print layout) but we can see full page display when we do MS Word -->View menu --> Outline.
Appreciate your valuable inputs on this.
Is this a template issue or any profiles needs to be set.
Thanks
Vijay

Do you have any header and footer on your template?
If you have any header and footer then try to adjust it as of to display full page.
Thanks

Firefox does not display full page

I have an application that is being served from a mainframe HTTPD server. The pages do not display correctly in Firefox. I have a column of icons on the left side of the webpage. Each icon will display information on the rest of the webpage in multiple frames. There is a black bar at the top of the screen. My webpage is above this black bar. I have to pull down the black bar to see my webpage. I also tried this in Firefox safe mode (same results). Every time I click on an icon to open the webpage, I have to pull the black bar down again. How can I get my page to display correctly? I installed the "IE TAB 2 extension" and that didn't help.

I already tested in Firefox safe mode which removed extensions and plugins. I am including 2 files. 1) A screen shot with the black line at the top of the screen. 2) A screen shot when I pull down the black line. When I pull down the black line, the application webpage is visible. Note: I have a dual monitor setup so the captured Paint screens are twice as wide.

Sharing a DVD player on my old iMac - Retina iMac does not display the DVD

I'm setting up my new retina display iMac which doesn't come with a DVD player so I set my old iMac up to share its CD/DVD player. But my new Retina/Yosemite iMac doesn't seem to be able to find the DVD player on the old iMac. Not listed at all in Finder.
Can someone help?
Thank-you.
Barb

OPen Disk Utility, highlight that DVD if it shows, click on the blue info icon, what does it report for Format & such?

Does not display full pages(2/3's at most)of gfames,facebook,etc...

When using Firefox the full screen will not come up. Instead about 2/3 of a screen comes up. This only after the home page. Home page is ok.

Hi Lboughter123,
Have you looked at the Knowledge Base article [[Problems using Facebook in Firefox]]? There is a lot of good troubleshooting information in there. Please be sure to try all of the suggested steps. Each one is valuable and may be the answer to your issue.
Hopefully this helps!

Iphoto does not support the resolution of my dslr camera...how do i upload full resolution photos?

iphoto does not support the resolution of my dslr camera...how do i upload full resolution photos?

You actually need to give information to get help - just stating an abstract problems (which is most certainly not a problem at all) gives the volunteers hearer nothing to work with to help you
What version of iPhoto? Of the OS? What exactly is the problem (iPhoto does support the resolution of your camera so that is NOT a problem)? what exactly are you doing? What error messages do you get? why do you incorrectly think that iPhoto does not support full resolution?
At this time your question is like my car won't start - why not? Could be anything from you did not put the key jun to being out of gas to having the engine stolen - no way to tell anything - except that the problem you claim is not true (at least in my example I would know that the car did not start)

HDMI to DVI adapter not allowing full resolution when using Mac OS but does with Windows 8.1

I have a Mac Mini and using the HDMI to DVI cable that came with the computer the maximum resolution it will allow is 1280 x 1024. I have 2 of the same monitors. The other is connected with DisplayPort to VGA adapater and displays full resolution (1920 x 1080) on both monitors but the HDMI to DIV will only show 1280 x 1024. I thought maybe it was my DVI cable or the adapter but when I boot up in Windows 8.1 through bootcamp both monitors display at full 1920 x 1080 resolution. Why does Windows give me the option for full resolution on both but the Mac OS doesn't? All the latest updates have been installed. I've contacted support and all the things they had me do didnt work. I see all these posts with people complaining about the same resolution issues. Is it that difficult for this to work?

Humm... the dual Samsung 21.5" monitor setup on my 2010 Mac Mini running Mavericks works a expected.One is on the HDMI to DVI adapter and the other in on a Kanex Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter.
Try > Display Menu from the Mac App Store and see if you can select 1920 x 1080 for both monitors using it.
Addtitionally, are you sure that it the HDMI to DVI monitor that is not getting the correct resolution...? Most people are complaining that it is a VGA connected monitor that is not getting the correct resolution.
If it turns out to be VGA connected monitor, then try using a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter and DVI cable for that monitor instead of VGA.

Macbook Pro 13"- HDMI output does not display 1920x1080

Hi
When I connect my Macbook Pro 13" to my Samsung 46" TV using the Apple HDMI to HDMI cable
The Macbook detects the TV but doesn't give me the option to change the resolution to 1920x1080
I have tried 1080p and 1080i but these does give me the correct setting either
Has anybody any ideas?
J

See
http://mac.bigresource.com/Hardware-Mini-Display-Port-NOT-working-at-resolutions -over-1600X1200--G5rVJl3Wm.html#Ae8cBkplo
Apple doesn't "do" 1920x1080 with non-Apple Studio monitors. It's bait & switch, a fraud, immoral, unacceptable. A Mac lover & evangilist for 20 years, I'm now likely to never buy another. I bought a new Asus monitor today, just to discover my MacBook Pro won't talk to it because Apple made their computer compatible with only overpriced Apple Studio monitors, not the leading brands.
Here's that post, pasted. The answer's the same for VGA and DVI.
Mac Pro :: Mini Display Port Not Working At Resolutions Over 1600X1200?
Problem:
Apple Mini Display Port does NOT work at resolutions over 1600X1200 on NON Apple Cinema Displays.
That means if you own any other brand of monitor such as NEC, Lacie, etc. you will NOT get native resolution on your 24 inch monitor as it is stuck at a maximum resolution of 1600X1200.
This story was mentioned on "Macbreak Weekly" show 4-14-2009. I have since checked with a few people and it would indeed seem to be true at this point.
I REALLY hope a solution from Apple comes soon and this is not some new policy of theirs. If so, it may be the last Mac Pro I will or can ever own. The reason is I do a lot of 3D work with C4D, Vue, Modo and Photoshop CS4 so I MUST have a monitor like the high-end ones from Lacie that have 100% color gamut and Adobe RGB. I can NOT be tied down to an Apple Cinema display due to that work. At this time, it seems this means I would only get 1600X1200 resolution on that 24 inch monitor.
I am HIGHLY concerned by this. Has anyone else confirmed this too and if so what the heck is Apple thinking or better still going to do about it? I LOVE my Mac Pro but if they start forcing Apple displays on us then I won't be buying another Mac, it's just that simple.

My MacBook Pro (Retina) laptop does not recognize my HP printers

My MacBook Pro (Retina) laptop does not recognize my HP printers. HP only has updates but not full drivers for Mountain Lion. Some articles say the compatibility might only allow me to print, but the scan feature won't work. I am attempting to use either my HP Color Laser 2840 and my HP Photosmart 209-B printers. I tried to reinstall the printer drivers, but HP doesn't have drivers to download for Mountain Lion OS.
Anyone else have this issue?

Image does not display on MacBook Pro (does on PowerBook G4!)

I created a slide in Keynote on my PowerBook G4 with an image dropped in (a pdf, I can't remember whether it was originally cut and past or dragged and dropped in). When transferring the Keynote presentation to a new macBook Pro (copying via a USB thumb drive), the presentation opens but the image does not display (everything else is OK).
The weird thing is that the image does show up in the thumbnail in Navigator View. It disappears in Light Table View, and then is gone when I return back to Navigator View. However, when I close and reopen the file, it appears again in the thumbnail.
When I click on the area where the image should be, the open squares show up around something. If I try to copy this object and past into another application (like Photoshop), I only get a blank image.
I have managed to get around this by laboriously copying the affected images on my PowerBook into separate pdf files, then transferring those files to my MacBook Pro and dropping them into place. However, I know I will find a missing image at some later date, when I no longer have access to my old PowerBook.
How to solve this problem?
P.S. Both machines are running Keynote 4.0.2 and Mac OS 10.5.2.

Thanks for taking a look!
The original image was created using Photoshop to cut out an image from a pdf file. Then it was either cut and pasted or dragged into Keynote.
Here are screenshots of what I get when I open the "droppedimage-17.pict" file (shown in the Show Package Contents window) using QuickTime on both machines. For the PowerBook:
http://www.cems.umn.edu/download/attachments/Powerbook.png
For the MacBook Pro:

Strangely, the Powerbook version looks like a correct grey-scale image, while the MacBook Pro looks like a B&W image.
