Screen Resolution Button

Hey all,
I work in a iMac computer lab in a university here in the city. We just got new iMac computers, but their native resolution is different than the existing projector. Is there a script, program, or other way to create an icon that teachers can click on to change the resolution of the computer automatically, without having to fight with system preferences. (It would have to be as fundamental as possible, and instructions for its creation would be appreciated)
Thanks,
Max

You can make an AppleScript fairly easily that will facilitate this. See this hint on MacWorld:
http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20040908141042786
However, the best solution may be to set up the projector as a second monitor rather than as a mirror of the internal display. This works great for things like PowerPoint shows. If you haven't tried it, give it a shot!

  • Changing screen resolution with a button

    Hi,
    I would like to ask if there is a way for an interface to change the screen resolution of the computer? I am wanting to build an interface that loads an interactive camera that works with processing however I am needing it to be at the resolution 800*900 as the webcam screen is too small on a full 1680x1050 resolution.
    Is there a way for the flash application to change the screen resolution with a button click? Are  there any alternatives to this?
    Thank you
    Jess

    It is to display a portfolio at my design school for assessment, they will accomodate any necessary things that i may need for assessment viewing so it is very important to me.
    Do you know what programs will work with this? What program would i have to install?
    I only need to do this for my assessment so it is almost a desperate search for something that would work.

  • DB does not look the same in different screen resolutions

    Hi All -
    I have built my dashboards using the Windows screen resolution 1024 x 768, and exported the dashboard into powerpoint.  With this resolution the dashboard looks normal.  I then changed my Windows screen resolution to 1280 x 1024, opened the ppt slideshow and my X-axis labels are being cut off.  The labels are written vertically (ex: 06/09/09).
    Does anyone know why this could be happening?
    Thanks!

    I am experiencing the exact same thing. The width of the tabs in the layout editor is varied depending on the length of the text. However, at run-time, the width of the tabs is fixed, causing the tabs to be wider than the window and a set of VCR buttons to appear in the upper right corner of the canvas. Personally, I think this is a Forms bug. Why would they intentionally let us set the width to variable at design-time only to force a fixed width at run-time?

  • Yoga 2 Pro REAL Screen Resolution

    SECOND THREAD on this HERE.
    I've just discovered that the Yoga 2 Pro seems to be fudging its screen resolution claim. I wouldn't care, except ... it actually has become a small problem ... and one that I presume will get bigger over time
    The Y2P has a "3200x1800" screen. It's beautiful. And in most regards its also overkill, since there's no such thing as 3200x1800 content, AND because it cause some issues with size of things on the screen. For this reason, and because pushing fewer pixels will tend to improve battery life, I run my Y2P at 1920x1080, or "normal full HD" resolution.
    I recently tried to log into an on-line app I use, as was greeted with a strange error message:
    Well, since I'm running 1920x1080 and using a current version of the Chrome browswer, none of that made sense. I tried Internet Explorer as well ... no luck.
    I installed Speccy, a tool to check things out inside a computer, and when I got to the display settings, here's what I found:
    That's right; I'm "set to 1920x1080", but something is seeing that the REAL resolution is 1280x720. Oh, and elsewhere in Speccy I found that the Y2P is reporting itself as a tablet rather than as a computer ... which probably isn't the issue here, but still unsettling.
    So I changed the resolution to 3200x1800. Good news: I was able to get to the web app I need. BAD NEWS: The real resolution appears to be 1600x900:
    I called Lnove tech support and got a representative who tells me that this is a Windows 8.1 problem; Windows 8.1 cannot support resolutions higher than 1920x1080, so even though the actual hardware resolution of the Y2P is 3200x1800, it needs to scale itself so Windows doesn't cry. This appears to be false (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2012/03/21/scaling-to-different-screens.aspx), but I don't really know.
    As such, my conclusion is that the representative told me something that was actually the opposite of correct, with correct SEEMING to be that the maximum REAL resolution of the Y2P hardware is in fact 1600x900, with Lenovo's claim of a 3200x1800 resolution being a software/upscaling/interpolation trick.
    If that's so, it's really distressing, because it would appear to be a lie about hardware capabilities.
    I didn't start out caring about that, although obviously as this point I feel like I've uncovered a smoking gun and would like an answer from Lenovo. But at the end of the day, since I don't need or want that 3200x1800 for the reasons I explained at the top of this post, I just want to know the truth—whatever it is— and to know how to get Windows to report the same resolution to "the world" that it's reporting to me, the user.
    And I guess I wouldn't mind knowing why the scaling between real and interpolation is different depending on the settings one selects, too (do the math).
    Anyone know anything conclusive? And even better, anyone from Lenovo have an ideas what the truth is here?

    I don't know if any of these settings (resolution and/or item sizing) affects battery duration. But you could do a battery test: set it to one mode with full battery charge and then leave it on unused until the battery is 50%. Check how long that took. Repeat for the other mode and compare the time difference if any. 
    As to why there are these two layers of settings I think this is the answer: Windows metro apps and some Windows desktop application and the new elements in Windows 8 (the new start screen, the charms bar and all metro apps) have smart scaling of user interface elements (text, buttons and so on) designed to support very high resolution screens like ours. So buttons and text in such programs will adapt in size to fit the resolution. But older desktop applications, including the Windows 8.1 desktop taskbar and its icons it seems, does not do such smart scaling. So running them full resolution mean that everything is really tiny. To work around that everything can be scaled up to 200% (or 150% or 125%). I suspect that future versions of Windows or some Windows update may improve these things since the settings and the button descriptions in the settings aren't very user friendly.
    But I'm not sure about this. I hope someone in the know jumps in this thread and gives more details.
    It is a pity that Lenovo doesn't provide new Yoga 2 Pro users with a user friendly guide with information and tips on good ways to deal with resolutions and these scaling settings.

  • I cannot enlarge photos on Facebook, I only get a BLACK, BLANK screen when I click on them-someone suggested it might be "Screen Resolution Setting"? I've already uploaded new firefox version. Please help!

    I am not able to ENLARGE photos on Facebook, this means photos that friends post on News Feed & photos that I post in my FB photo albums. I only get a BLANK, BLACK screen when I click on individual photos. A friend suggested that I upload the New Firefox, and I did this today, but it did not resolve problem. Friend also suggested that it could be "Screen Resolution Setting"?? OR "Data Rate" too slow?? I do not know how to check these features? Please help! If it could be something else, please let me know. Thank you for your time & help!

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
    * Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
    * Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
    * Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
    * Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
    * Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
    * If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

  • Screen Resolution in Mavericks

    I have a 27 inch imac , when i installed Mavericks the icons and text have become absurdly small , and very difficult for anyone to read.
    When changing resolution the screen looks terrible and icons etc are fuzzy.
    I have played withn all finder and app settings.
    It seems crazy that with such a big screen one has to strain your eyes to see anything.
    Please help?

    I was having issues with Maverick. The problems I had were video related on the Macbook Pro. I just did a PRAM reset. Try it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    After resetting NVRAM or PRAM, you may need to reconfigure your settings for speaker volume, screen resolution, startup disk selection, and time zone information. If issues persist, your Mac's logic board battery (not a portable Mac's rechargeable battery) may need to be replaced. The logic board battery helps retain NVRAM/PRAM settings when your computer is shut down. You can take your Mac to a Mac Genius or Apple Authorized Service Provider to replace the battery on the logic board.
    Resetting NVRAM in Open Firmware
    If your computer is Open Firmware-based and you are unable to reset NVRAM as described above, you may alternatively reset the NVRAM and Open Firmware settings using the steps in the Solution section of Message “To continue booting, type 'mac-boot' and press return”.
    In some cases, an Open Firmware-based computer may not respond to the keyboard commands noted above, and may not allow starting up into Open Firmware by pressing and holding the Command, Option, O, and F keys during startup.  If you are unable to get to an Open Firmware prompt (and your Mac supports doing so), try holding the power button held down continuously during start up.

  • Screen resolution problem after i-tunes installed on XP pro

    Just purchased 5th Generation 60Gb for my daughters 16th Birthday which starts in about 14 minutes! Loaded the software on her XPpro service pack 2 laptop. When itunes executed the screen resolution drops to 8 bit! It can be changed in control panel and all works fine. but each time re boot itunes and the problem returns!
    Loaded on my desktop and everything fine also. tried the ms config stuff as per site and immediate problem when ms software disabled. Would seem to be a software conflict and compatability problem. The laptop is a fujitsu which is 2 years old. the older version of i-tunes which she downloaded about a year ago worked ok. Sadly we uninstalled it before installing the new version from the disc. Tried update from the site but it indicates the DC version is the latest.
    Interesting to read some of the problems that flks have had with the ipods. This one seems OK but does have a 'do not disconnect logo which hangs up and doesn't go away. However, if I do disconnect the computer 'burps' at me then all is well and forgotten!
    Oh yes. how do you delete unwanted songs once uploaded? Is there a simple 'delete' button?
    Any thoughts anyone as I've now spent all evening on it and it's her birthday in the morning (8th June)
    thanks in anticipation
    Gwynne (minolta man)

    sorted problem by changing computer! probably softward hardware conflict with iTunes

  • Facebook screen resolution changes automatically everytime on Mozilla Firefox 4. Other websites opens fine.

    I have recently updated to Firefox 4. I am having many problems with this version.
    I am unable to use Facebook properly. The Facebook screen resolution changes every time automatically. The screen resolution gets very big.
    When I open the FB site the resolution will be fine as soon I open another tab to check other website and roll back to the FB tab the screen resolution gets big and can't get back to normal view.
    I have to close the FB tab and open a new tab to put the FB URL to use it. When I try to view other tabs and then open the FB tab the screen resolution is changed.
    I have problem with only FB on Firefox 4, other websites are working fine.
    I also tried opening FB on IE8 and Chrome. Their the site is opening normal. Have no issues with their browsers. I spotted it to be a problem with Firefox 4 and also the IDM (Internet Download Manager) doesn't work on the FF4 where it used to work on the earlier version of FF.
    Do something about the IDM integration with FF4 to download FLV,MP4 videos from YouTube and other websites.
    There is no "Go back to multiple pages" button in a FF4 tab. It only allows us to go back to the previous page. If I have open 10 pages in a single tab then I have to click the back button 10 TIMES to open the last (10th page) but in the previous FF3 there is a facility to view all the pages in a drop down which the current version of FF4 doesn't have :-( I am using Windows XP 2 Professional 32-bit and owner of the computer.
    Please fix the issues asap else I have to move back to the earlier version or have to shift to some other browser :

  • HOW TO ADJUST MY FRONT PANEL & ITS OBJECTS ACCORDING TO SCREEN RESOLUTION.

    Hai..
    I want my fp to be visible in its standard form on all screen resolutions.I've used Maintain window prop for diff screen resolutions but it didnt work.Any Solution to this problem? 

    Did you also set the "Scale all objects..." setting?
    For me mostly there had to be only 1 control to be scaled or changed in proportions, like a graph or listbox, the other controls (buttons, menu rings) should remain in size. This is best done by using splitters. You can lock them, stick them to one side of the window, make them invisible.

    Widescreen resolutions are not possible with newest vista and linux drivers if the tft is connected with dvi.
    Use an older driver or the vga-port instead.
    There are maybe some hacks, but I tried many times in vista and linux. And it's always the same, only 1280x1024.
    did some googling:

    Thanks for the reply, but I don't believe that's the problem since that topic is from 2006 and I didn't had any problems last time I instaled arch (3 months ago).

  • Accidental​ly 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,

  • Screen Resolution change

    Is there any OSX key combo I can use to change the screen resolution?
    I changed the resolution up to try it - my monitor couldn't handle it. Waited for it to ask me to confirm, and then flip back, but it didn't. Restarted my computer, but it still seems to be kicking out the signal at the too-high resolution, which won't display.
    I can't see the screen sufficiently clearly to navigate into System Preferences. Can anyone assist?

    Hmm, that should have worked since that's the file which holds both your screen resolution and profile information. You may have accidentally chosen a refresh rate that your monitor can't handle.
    Start up once again in Safe Mode. Go into the System Preferences and click the Displays icon. Click the "Detect Displays" button. Select any resolution you know will work. Make sure it's not the same as the current choice to force OS X to write the information back to disk.
    Close the System Preferences and restart normally.

  • ThinkPad T500 Screen Resolution Issues

    Dear All,
    Wonder if anybody can provide any advise on the following issue(s):
    Just bought a T500 Centrino vpro, running on XP professional, 15" screen. Really happy with it, its fast and all. However, there seem to be only a few screen resolution options available. On my old Acer Travelmate, I used to have a 1024x600 which suited my myopia just fine. The closest setting to this one seems to be the 1024X768 but it is not great 'cos items appear a tad out of focus.
    I understand the T500 i just bought was built to accommodate Vista (as a side note, a Vista Business tag with serial number can be found at the back of my laptop although the machine came with XP pro preinstalled..This leads me to my other question: What happened to my Vista?) and this perhaps explains the limited resolution options available and the fact that apart from the native setting all other resolutions available are not optimal.
    Many thanks in advance.

    There are several methods to increase the font sizes on your screen:
    1) right click on desktop.
    2) select personalize
    3) select adjust font size (DPI) under the task list on the left
    4) select the larger font size that is available.
    Sometimes there are fonts that are just too small to read on the web browser.
    Hold down your Ctrl key and use the mouse scroll button to increase the font size.
    Alternatively Press the blue Fn button on the keyboard and then press the Space bar.
