Screen resolution changes after opening PDF in Preview and is enlarged.

Do a backup.
Quit Preview.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Remove the following. You may not find them all.
Containers/com.apple.Preview

Screen Resolution Changes after Sleep

After my 15 minute threshold my MacBook Pro puts the external display to sleep. Neither use of the keyboard or mouse reactivates the screen. I have to raise the lid on the closed MacBook Pro before the external display comes back. When it resumes its display, it isn't in the proper resolution. Using the Display Panel to reset the resolution reveals a scale that doesn't show the full capability of the external monitor. It doesn't show the monitor's maximum resolution of 2560 x 1600.
I'm using a 2011 March MacBook Pro with Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit install. The Boot Camp drivers are at 4.0. I've got AMD's 8.812.0.0 driver installed on the AMD Radeo HD 6750M. The external monitor is a HP zr30W with driver version 1.0.0.0 with 14/12/2009 date.
Any ideas on how to resolve this?
Thanks.

Try this
Click the Apple
System Preferences
Security
General
There should be a tab that says "Log out after ___ minutes of activity.
Make sure that is set to whatever you want it to be or disabled. I disabled mine.
after that your macbook shouldnt log you out automatically and you won't have that problem anymore.
i had the same problem and did that and now its all good.
hope this helps.

[solve] Screen resolution changed after upgrading xorg please help?

Ive been using arch for almost a year now and have grown to like it a lot. I recently updated my system with pacman -Syu. during this process my xorg was updated and now im having issues.
I usually run my monitor at 1152 x 864 running at 85 for a refresh rate. Id like to continue doing that.
Since updating i now run at 1280x720.
Everything looks retarded as a result.. and id really like to get things back to normal. Ive pasted my xorg.conf here.. the modeline for the correct resolution is still there but it would seem xorg isnt respecting it.
I will admit to using a REALLY old radeon graphics card (radeon 7000) but it has never been an issue in the past with arch or any other distro.
Please help me restore my usual openbox display settings.
Thanks.

Try using the above as your xorg.conf file - I've cleaned it up a bit and removed everything that's not essential. If it works you can always add all the that you need from your old xorg.conf file and if it doesn't - well, I guess it won't hurt to try...

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 :

Screen resolution changes every time I open I-Tunes

The screen resolution changes when I open I-Tunes. I have to go into control panel every-time to adjust the resolution to make the print and screen layout small enough so its entirety is captured which then allows me to use I-Tunes. Otherwise the graphics are too large to be captured on the screen making the program unusable.

Screen resolution changes on iphone 4s after downloading OS 6.

Screen resolution changes on iphone 4s after downloading OS 6. Can't see entire home screen. I must reboot to restore original resolution, but while zoomed I can't see the ok button. What is the fix?

No one here knows when the next iOS update will be released or what changes it will include until Apple releases it.
iOS 6.1.2 does not disable Wi-Fi, the vast majority of issues with iPhones that appear after an iOS update can be resolved with basic troubleshooting which is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).
If that does not resolve, then the issue is hardware related and no amount of iOS updates or restores will ever get it functional again.

Opening PDF in Preview

Hi,
In pages, when you open the print dialogue there is a PDF button. The top item on the list is:
Open PDF in Preview. Clicking this used to do just that, open the document in preview. After
updating to Snow Leopard, it now opens in Adobe Acrobat. I'm not sure why or how to change
this.
I want to open the PDF in preview, not in adobe acrobat.
thanks for any help you can give.

I'm am truly sorry if I seem impatient. This thing has just annoyed me all day. Thank you for your comments but what you are talking about is setting a default program to open all the PDFs on the computer. This is NOT what I want to do. I know about the feature you are talking about and that is NOT what I'm looking for.
Before updating to Snow Leopard my default PDF application was Adobe PDF Pro. Any PDF I made and opened, did so with that program.
BUT from Pages, when I would press "Open PDF in Preview" it would do so.
SO, if I made a PDF, it would open in Adobe Pro. But, WITHOUT MAKING a PDF, I was able to open
my pages document as a PDF using the "Open in preview" button. I did not make that document a PDF, I did not use quick look. In Pages I pushed command P, selected the options under PDF, pressed "Open in Preview." At that time it then opened my document in Preview and I had a wide variety of formats to save it in, JPEG, JPEG 2000, PDF etc. From there I often saved the document as a JPEG (for reasons to long to explain here.)
SO, at present Adobe Pro is set as the default PDF opening program as it should be. But, from Pages, I want to be able to save in various formats, in the past I have done so from the drop down menu mentioned above. That was true for two years up until this past week when I changed operating systems. I simply want to regain the lost functionality.

Make Safari open PDF in preview automatically, by default

Is there any way I can make Safari open (download + view) PDF links in Preview?
I know that Safari opens PDFs in its own viewer, and then I can use the semi-opaque 4-button toolbar at the bottom of the window (when the toolbar is visible) to Open PDF in Preview, but that's a fair bit of extra work from a UI perspective.
I click the link to the PDF, and the PDF opens in a new Safari window.
I move the mouse to the bottom of the page, wait for the gray toolbar to appear, then click the Open PDF in Preview.
(This is assuming the toolbar shows itself, which for some reason it has stopped doing on some PDFs.)
Now I've got a Preview window with my document, plus the useless Safari PDF view, plus my original webpage.
It's tedious and cumbersome.
Yes I know I could option-click the PDF link to automatically download the file, but that doesn't automatically open the file after it is downloaded. Either way I have to mess around to open the file as I'd like to.

Right-click on the PDF document; select Get Info from the pop-up menu; in the lower half is a section labeled Open With. Select Preview from the choices listed, then click Change All... to make Preview the default appp for PDF documents.

If an image opens in a different application but you want it to always open in Preview when you double-click it, do this one time: Control-click the file, let go of the Control key, press the Option key, then choose Always Open With > Preview. Or, select the image file, choose Get Info from the File menu, then change the "Opens with:" pop-up menu choice to Preview.

Open PDF in Preview in Safari 5.1

I'm using Safari 5.1, and recently, I found out that the "Open PDF in Preview" option does not work. I would click the button several times, and it would not bring up Preview. I don't have Adobe Reader or any other PDF reader on my MBP. The only way I can view the PDF in Preview is to first download it and then open it up in Preview. Does anybody know why this is happening? Is this a problem with Safari 5.1?

Gp tp /Library/Preferences - Internet Plug-Ins.
Move the PDF Browser Plug-in and any Adobe plugins to the Trash.
Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
Right or control click a PDF file you have on the hard drive then click: Get Info
In the Get Info panel click Open with.
Select Preview then click: Change all
Might be a good idea to read this even if you don't use Adobe Acrobat just so you will be aware.

Open PDF in Preview - automatically in front of other PDF files?

I'm really fond of the 'open PDF in Preview' option in Safari. However, I have noticed that when a pdf file is already open in Preview before downloading a new one, the new one does not automatically come in front of the one that was already open; instead, I usually have to alt-tab to get the file I've just downloaded in front. Is there any way to remedy this?

Pahu, thank you. After reading your reply, I found a discussion thread called "preview opens fileopen dialog each time it starts", and the complete answer was there. Basically, just open System Preferences – iCloud, and uncheck "Documents & Data". I did get a message that all corresponding data on my Mac would be erased but the data would remain in iCloud for use on iPhones, etc. Since I don't keep any "documents & data" on iCloud (I only keep contacts, calendar, notes, etc. -- those are separate from documents & data), I accepted this. My problem was immediately fixed.
Thanks so much.

"Open pdf in Preview" opens extra dialog box

From any app, when I select PRINT: Open pdf in Preview, the Preview app opens and correctly displays the desired page or file but... it also opens the "Open" dialog box allowing me to select a file to open. I simple click on CANCEL but this is an annoyance. Anyone have an idea how I go about tracing down the cause of this strange behavior? The Console reports the following 2 lines:
1/13/13 8:49:39.978 PM MTLAgent[370]: Injecting MTL into com.apple.Preview...

Spontaneous screen resolution change

I am running OS X Maverick since a few days.
If I don't use my system, the screen "goes to sleep" after 10 min. (like I always had).
Since the OS X upgrade I have the problem that my screen resolution changes to 800 * 600 after when I "rewake" the screen (by pressing a key).
When I look in the system preferences, the screen resolution is set to "best for my screen"
I have to change it manually to the original setting (1280 * 960)

T420 Screen Resolution Change Issue

My T420 laptop is capable of 1600 X 900 screen resolution. After changing the resolution temporarily to 1024 X 768,
I tried to change it back a couple of hours later to 1600 X 900. However, now I do not even see 1600 X 900 as an option.
The highest option is its' current setting of 1024 X 768. Can someone tell me how I can get the 1600 X 900 resolution to show up
again as an option so I can change the screen resolution back to its' factory setting? I do not know what could have happened
except for maybe a windows update took place before I attempted to change the screen resolution back. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

hey Quinn,
welcome to the forums. could you check the graphic card version on your unit and compare it to the version available on http://support.lenovo.com .
is it the same or is the one on the support site ? If both of it is the same, uninstall the graphic driver from your unit and then download the driver from our support site.
do not install it yet, set your unit to diagnostic mode via msconfig first and then only install.
