OSX Maverick iMac Resolution: stuck at 640x480. How do I fix this?

This is my iMac:
- 21.5 inch
- late 2012
- 2.9 Ghz Intel Core i5
- NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 512MB
- OSX 10.9.2
After updating to Mavericks, the screen resolution somehow got stuck at 640x480 and I'm unable to change it. Going into display settings and holding down the "options" key, does not show ANY display resolution options (see image attached). Any ideas on how to fix this?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Screen resolution stuck at 640 x 480

Hi folks,
I'm using OS 10.4.9 on a Power Mac G4 with one of those grey eggshell-like Apple displays. A week or so ago, I lost all resolution options (I always had it at 1024 x 768) and I'm stuck at 640 x 480. Nothing else appears in System Preferences besides this option.
In the past a simple restart solved the problem; not this time. I already zapped the NVRAM to no avail.
Any suggestions?

I searched the forums with no satisfactory solution to the problem.
Anyone have suggestions?

Xserve screen resolution stuck at 640 x 480

I'm troubleshooting a Xserve for a friend's company. After a restart a few days ago, their Xserve will only display at 640 x 480. They have it connected to a standard VGA monitor, which did display higher resolutions before. I know some of the basic troubleshooting methods like reseting the PRAM and trashing the display prefs, but I'd like to try fixing it without rebooting the server or knocking people off. Any ideas on how to correct this issue without rebooting?

Greetings and welcome to the Apple boards.
Did you check your cable and connections? I am not positive but it seems to me that the video card may have to sense the ability of the monitor to display the proper resolution.
Have you tried connecting the monitor to another device to make sure it is not the monitor?

WinXP-SP2 refuses to allow screen resolution above 640x480

I've had WinXP on a Bootcamp partition for more than a year, working just fine and used occasionally. Yesterday I booted it up & the screen resolution had changed to 640x480. I tried changing it back to the native resolution of my Samsung monitor (1900x1200) using both the Win control Panel "Display" and also the nVidia control panel. XP stubbornly refuses to switch to the higher resolution, even after rebooting.
Windows issues like this, appearing for no reason I can find, are why I bought my MP in 2008. Does anyone have any advice (other than giving up on XP)?

Sorry I haven't reported back in a while. I keep thinking of things to try but still haven't solved this issue. These are the things I've done:
Booted to XP Pro, then:
1. Went to Hardware Monitor & tried changing resolution in Display "Settings" menu. No luck. As soon as I clicked on "Apply" the setting changes back to 640x480 resolution. Re-booted into XP Pro with no change.
2. Went to Hardware Monitor & tried the regular "Install Display Driver" routine with Windows searching for the driver. No luck. Still didn't change resolution after reboot & attempted resolution change in "Settings".
3. Tried changing resolution with the nVidia control panel. I clicked on the correct resolution in the list, but as soon as the window closed & I re-opened it, the resolution had changed back to 640x480.
3. Inserted original disk with driver for for my Samsung monitor & tried "load driver from disk". No luck. Same result - resolution would not change after reboot.
4. Went to the nVidia website & found an update for the driver on my 8800GT. Downloaded & attempted to install. Windows reported something to the effect of "That driver is already present".
5. Tried to make changes by booting in VMWare Fusion. The resolution reported there was higher than 640x480, (don't remember what it was though), but NOT the native resolution of my Samsung (1920x1200). Unable to use "Settings" to make a change.
I wan to avoid an erase & reinstall (read: "Hassle with both Windows & VMWare"), but I'm running out of alternatives. One thing left to try - Two years ago I got a program called Winclone & made a couple of clones of the windows partition, several months apart. I've never tried actually installing them (stupid!), but this might be the time. Whatever I lose in that process shouldn't be devastating, just annoying. Is there anyone here in the Forums who has used Winclone successfully?
Or is it just time to bite the bullet & let Windows go? I only use XP for generating fractal images & occasionally doing some 2D drafting with a very old version of AutoCad (v14) which I dearly love. Very occasionally I use it to access websites that won't work with Safari & Firefox. A small voice in me says that I should try "7" on my Mac because all the reviews seem to be quite positive, but I'm not convinced that the expense & hassle would be worth it.
Sorry this is so long. I wanted to include all the steps I tried. Thanks in advance to anyone with ideas or comments.

Screen Resolution in solaris 10 b69

Hello
I have installed solaris 10 (10/04) in VMWARE and on my Toshiba satelite 2410-303 and there is no way to change its screen resolution. It keeps its 640x480 nomatter how many times i have tried to change it with kdmconfig. Keep in mind that i have tried in solaris 9 and in previous versions of solaris 10 express several times with success.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

First you have to check whether you're using the Xsun or the Xorg
X11 server. See file /usr/dt/config/Xservers. I think the default with
s10 b69 is the Xorg server. You've the option to configure the other
X11 server by chanhing /usr/dt/config/Xservers.
With Xsun, you can change the screen resolution using the kdmconfig
program. For a vmware environment, the XF86-VMWARE driver
should be used.
For Xorg, you can create an X11 server config file by running
/usr/X11/bin/xorgconfig. I'm not a vmware user, but I guess that you
can select the "vmware" video driver, and configure approriate
screen resolutions.

Management Console is tiny at high screen resolutions

Is there any solution to the problem of the Microsoft Management Console apparently being sized for a 640x480 computer monitor? Everything is so ridiculously small at 1920x1080, with what looks like 9-point text boxes.
Also, why are MMC configuration windows like the "New Object" window stuck at about 400 pixels wide, and you have to scroll the text boxes to see a long user profile path, yet the window itself is tiny compared to the screen resolution?

Screen resolution when PXE boot from WDS vs Install Windows 8.1 from USB

Hi all
I own a Lenovo ThinkPad T430s, X230 Tablet, and now have my hands on a T440. All three machines have UEFI Secure Boot enabled properly, i.e. Windows boot screen shows Lenovo logo instead of Windows logo.
However, if I do a PXE boot (using Windows Deployment Services from Windows Server 2012, not R2) and boot to the same boot.wim provided on a Windows 8.1 ISO image, the boot screen resolution turns crap, and the WinPE environment runs in 640x480. Also, as opposed
to the Lenovo logo showing on the boot screen, the Windows logo shows up instead, indicating it's not doing a secure boot?
When booting from a USB stick however, using the same Windows 8.1 boot.wim (copied from ISO), the screen resolution in Windows Setup is detected correctly, and the Lenovo logo shows up.
This occurs on all three machines since MDT was upgraded to MDT 2013 or when I replaced Windows 8 boot.wim with Windows 8.1 boot.wim (as the Windows ADK 8 --> ADK 8.1).
Is there a fix for this? Do others have the same problem elsewhere?
Many thanks

Hi,
When boot UEFI-based computer from PXE you should take more into consideration.
For some computers, you might have to perform additional steps to make sure that Windows is installed in UEFI mode, and not in legacy BIOS-compatibility mode.
Some computers might support UEFI. However, they do not support a PXE-initiated boot when in UEFI mode.

If you still cannot find a way to make it boot from UEFI mode, you should contact with manufacture to confirm if PXE-initiated boot is supported.
Hope this helps.

Screen Resolution in Forms60

Hi all,
We use Forms60 for our development and we developed all our forms using 640x480
screen resolution. Now we have to move to 800x600 screen resolution as standard. When we tested in 800x600, all our screens are not of uniform size, i.e. some of them are big and some are small in size. How do we do it without Physically changing all the forms.
Any comments in this regards are most welcome.
Thanks in Advance.
G.Venkat.

Yes, I used template to create the forms, but some forms are not based on the template.
What Change should I have to do in my template for the other forms ?
Thank you.

Photoshop CS5 Screen Resolution

<START OF RANT>
Having recently decided to upgrade all my design software, I can't begin to tell you how disappointed I was (and still am) to find that after spending £231.12 GBP on buying Photoshop CS5 (upgrade from CS2) I'm unable to "Save As" and access some other features on my Acer Ferrari One due to the minimum screen resolution requirement. And before you start preaching that I should have checked, blah, blah, blah, and that it's my own fault then I only have 2 words for you: F*** O**!!! Why am I reacting like this? Simples, both Photoshop CS2 and Dreamweaver CS5 (for a mere £219.95 GBP) work fine on the very same netbook without any problems!!!
Having spent hours upon hours browsing the tinternet (a.k.a. world wide web) and finding countless of people in the same boat as me making futile attempts to get Photoshop CS5 to work on a smaller screen resolution (the most common being 1024x600), it seems that short of changing the screen it will not work properly.
Allow me therefore to put the following questions to the developers/coders of Photoshop CS5:
1. Why do Photoshop CS2 and Dreamweaver CS5 work on the same netbook without fail yet Photoshop CS5 won't (unable to "Save As", can't see full screen of the "Save for Web" screen, etc.)?! WHY??? And please don't start with the lame excuse that they are different programs for different purposes because at the end of the day it's the same company. You don't buy a Mercedes C-Class and a Mercedes S-Class to find that the steering works on 1 but not the other, do you?!
2. Are your heads so far up your place where the sun don't shine that you have forgotten about the fact that people FIRST pick a PC/Mac/Laptop/Notebook/Netbook and ONLY THEN PICK SOFTWARE?
3. Do you want people to keep buying your software?
If the answer to question 3 (above) is YES, then PULL YOUR FINGERS OUT, get your act together and do something about these issues, pronto. Else, rest assured you will lose custom to the competition (e.g Corel) - even loyalists like myself (who started & stuck with Photoshop since 1997 - that's 14 YEARS OF LOYALTY should one be incapable of doing the math). In this day & age any company would be wise not to make mistakes which could cost it market share - Adobe is making that mistake with Photoshop right now!!!
</END OF RANT!!!>

<Start of Reply>
Why are trying to get Photoshop work on a display that is smaller then the programs was designed for. Adobe publishes screen requirements. Next you'll want it to run on a iPod Nano so you can have it on hand all the time.
<Just keep on RANTING if it make you feel GOOD>
CS2 Works the Problem is all YOU
So same to you and you foul mouth.
Why blame Adobe Why not your net book maker fot not allowing you to set a resolution more then the display has. I have worked on machines the could the just scroll the display over the larger image that way you can see the whole image. CS5 would work on a machine like that. Of course I want it always at hand!!! Do you even live in this world?! Have you noticed for example that phones have better cameras than the best camera available en masse 5 years ago let alone longer e.g. 10 years ago? Note how small it is!!!
Of course I want to edit my pictures using the program of my choice and 14 years ago I did make that choice choosing PS, hence the decision to purchase the Acer Ferrari One - CS2 works like a charm.
As to the point that I'm problematic, please read my post carefully before making statements that make you come across as foolish.

1. Serious ps users make sure their hardware meets their program's system requirements.
2. If you decide to buy you bigger Mercedes and it won't fit into your garage anymore, I'd say that's your own fault.
3. ALL software evolves, if you insist on using your old hardware, stick with the programs that were built to run on your old gear.
1. OLD Hardware?! Please do your homework before replying. The Acer Ferrari One was released beginning of last year and is a top of the range netbook - more powerful than any netbook out there and any laptop that is over 2 years old. FACT! Even some of the new laptops benchmarked could not out-do this little beast. FACT!
2. Unless one is buying a Mercedes Van or Truck it will fit in the garage (even the ML320 fits) - CS2 fits and so do other Adobe CS3 & CS4 products. So why not the PS CS5 - its no a Van or Truck. In fact it's more comparable to an S-Class.
3. Hardware also evolves - it's getting smaller and more powerful. I could run PS on the water-cooled, Phenom X4 & NVidia GeForce 9800 GX2 powered stationary PC connected to a 32" LCD by HDMI, running Linux Mint 10 x64/Windows 7 x64 (dual boot) with MacOS X running virtually by use of VMWare on both. Instead I choose to be mobile editing my pics as soon as I have taken them (patience is not always a virtue)! As humans we also need to evolve and judging by most of the replies so far it's not looking good for human evolution (albeit some replies do make valid & intelligent arguments and are as such well received).

It would of course be better to maintain decorum, though, even while ranting. But does a rant really demand a sharp response? Rise above it and just don't say anything if you really have nothing to add.
To Julian: You should return the software for a refund ASAP before you're stuck with it for good.

You are right: I do mean to offend Adobe and hope they are offended!!! However, do accept my apologies for losing composure (and my manners along with it). Unfortunately, in this day and age it seems to be the only way to reach the audience of those who can assist with problem resolution of this kind. That is of course unless the very same decide to provide the PS CS5 source code which would enable me to address the issue at hand without the need to contact Adobe or rant.

Not speaking for Adobe, I would expect that they want intelligent people to keep buying their software. They also make Photoshop Elements for someone like you. Photoshop is a professional image editing application used by professionals. Professionals do not pick up a cheap low-power netbook to do their image editing. Casting the concept of 'professional' aside, Adobe expects buyers to be literate to notice the system requirements prior to paying large sums.
If all that you are doing is web design, you should be using GIMP, which is free, requires much less resources, and is better suited for preparing web images (PNG8 with alpha anyone?).
RE: rants... GIGO
In fact, it would be better for you not to speak at all considering your assumptious and pompous nature. Adobe will pay attention to this post as long as it attracts traffic (you can find a simple explanation of the term 'traffic' in this context using this link). As to your ideology of the professional image editor, it is of little interest here and beside the point. Thus, please refrain from participating any further in this discussion while not in a capacity to speak on behalf of Adobe or offer anything other than remarkable insights into what one should or should not use for image editing.
If I have not replied to anyone, please accept my apologies - I will find the time to do so another day but I wouldn't want miss Love Never Dies at the Adelphi now would I.
Good night and good luck

Connecting Samsung 913n monitor to ibook -screen resolution?

Hi,
I've bought a new monitor - Samsung 913n - and want to connect it to my ibook. No joy so far!
I have the adaptor and there seems to be a link between them, as the monitor says I've lost the signal when I unplug the adaptor.
One possibility seems to be that there is not an option for the correct screen resolution when I go to the Display preferences. The monitor is 1280 x 1024, but I only have three options which are all smaller than this.
I have reinstalled my system software but no luck.
Any help appreciated!

Hi, Nikki. Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You are stuck with the screen resolution of the iBook. There is no way to increase it. Sorry.

Display resolution stuck

The display is stuck on 640 X 480.
When I switch it it goes back when I open anything.

OK. It was a guess anyway.
I changed my screen resolution and then did a search of system files to see what was changed today.
I sorted by descending date/time and that file was at the top of the list.
I opened it with the Property List Editor program and saw it contained the changed resolution, so I took a guess that deleting that file and rebooting would set you straight.
You might look for recently changed files with likely names in your personal settings folder:
~/library/preferences
and try deleting and re-logon (you don't need to restart if you're only changing your own files - a re-logon picks up the change)
Sorry - I don't have a better guess. Good luck
