Screen resolution or view options issue?

I have my LED Cinema Display set to the highest resolution available (1920x1200), but something looks off. Icons look too big as do the list of favorites, devices etc. in the left column of Finder Windows. Is there a view option somewhere that I am missing to increase resolution or make desktop icons etc. smaller? Everything looks bigger than it was in SL.

Check in System Preferences that Zoom isn't turned on:

  • Finder view option issue

    I changed the option to View -> Arrange By -> Kind, and this started happening.
    Help?

    Welcome to Apple discussions,
    For the first question, try the following:
    Instead of dragging the network drive icon to the Dock, first make an alias to the network drive. You can do that conveniently by holding down both the Command and Option keys, and dragging from the network drive icon onto to an open space on the Desktop. Finally, drag that alias icon to the right side of the Dock:
    !http://i54.tinypic.com/2nbsfag.jpg!
    Clicking on that Dock icon should directly open the network drive in a Finder window, as it used to do in Tiger. You can move the alias on the Desktop to somewhere less obtrusive if you like.
    This works for folders as well - making an alias of a folder and dragging that alias to the Dock creates a Dock icon that will open the folder in Finder rather than as a Dock stack.

  • Screen resolution option only 800x600

    I have a G5 Dual 2.3 and an Acer 1917A monitor. I used this monitor with no issue on a G4 Dual. Plugged it into the "new" G5 and the only screen resolution option I have is 800x600 (not high enough). I have not installed any software from acer (can't find it, and frankly don't know if I ever had any). Any ideas as to what I am missing?

    What's the native resolution, 1280x1024?
    (I can't find info on a 1917A)
    Try another user account.
    If you need to, set up another user account with admin privledges.
    See if the problem persists.
    if not, it is a software problem in your account.
    Might also download the ATI Display Panel, and see if resolution adjustment can be made there:

  • Screen resolution issue

    1. when clicking on a menu bar item, i get a double view , very small of what the dropdown menu should look like, and it is not stable: it tries to zoom in/out.
    2. on the same menu item , i get the dropdown sometimes in very large view .
    2. when clicking on a link in google with the right mous button, you normally get "open in a separate tab,..."
    Instead i get a preview of the full browser screen.

    Hello ,
    i upgraded to Firefox 19, and since this is a brand new PC, i also performed a "restore to factory settings".
    I'm also using the default theme because i did not do any configuration to this pre-installed PC.
    I disabled all add-ons and extensions before i posted this problem.
    Leaves me only with the option of diabling the hardware accelaration, and upgrading the graphics driver if there would be one available.
    I don't understand why the graphics driver would be an issue, because both Chrome and Explorer are running fine on this machine,
    so to me this seems a pure Firefox issue.
    I wlll however try to find an upgrade for the driver, and if it would fix something, i will update the post.
    Untill then, Chrome is the only option i have for the moment, because with this bug i cannot use any menu of Firefox.

    Please suggest what should be done to resolve it.

  • 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.

  • Why does Screen Resolution NOT offer orientation option?

    This HP OMEN gaming laptop is the first PC I've owned (out of maybe a dozen) that doesn't offer orientation options on the Screen Resolution screen. Even the "help" thinks it should be there. I've searched for hours by now, wanting to avoid having to ask what should be so simple. For a seperate issue, I updated my graphics driver approximately 7/05/15. That issue was successfully resolved, so I know the update "took". Can't find it in any of the Nvidia choices either. SO many programs presume it to be available, many have stopped offering it within the program settings. Ideas, please? Thank you.

    I took out the modules in mkinitcpio.conf, took off all the kernel additions, and borrowed a monitor from a different computer in the house.  Everything says this should work, so i figured the TV may be the problem.  It is.  I had the TV hooked up with my Nvidia card on the old machine, and it worked perfectly.  It did add fan noise, so I wanted to be rid of it if possible. 
    With the new monitor, it works perfectly.  lsmod shows the i915 module loaded.  Hook it back up to the TV (which is DVI to HDMI), nothing.  This is some other issue, I think, so I'm marking this one solved.
    Note:  The SVIDEO line was wrong; a re-read of the archwiki page on KMS showed me that the line needs to be formatted as follows:
    The format is: video=<conn>:<xres>x<yres>[M][R][-<bpp>][@<refresh>]"["i"]"[m][eDd]
    so the line should have been video=DVD-D:etc, rather than video=SVIDEO:etc
    Quotation marks above aren't really there; I can't figure out how to get a square bracket i to work without them; the forum kicks me an error.

  • Screen Resolution Issue, Itunes? Vista?

    Hello!
    Ok, so every time I open Itunes my screen resolution gets automatically switched to the lowest possible resolution. An itunes pop up keeps saying:
    "For best results with itunes, use a screen resolution of at least 1024x768. You can change this setting in Display Settings".
    Which doesn't make sense to me anyway because why would it be switched to low when its saying it needs to be higher?
    I go into control panel and switch it back to a higher resolution only to have the same problem EVERY time I open itunes. I'm using vista but the pop ups are definitely from itunes. A second pop up message that shows up is:
    "Itunes.exe has been set to run in compatibility mode for an older version of windows. For best results turn off compatibility mode for itunes before you open it."
    So, I check under properties for itunes.exe and compatibility mode is NOT checked off. I can't figure out where to turn off compatibility. This issue and the pop ups only started after I ran itunes "as administrator" so vista would let me edit song information.
    Can anyone help me?
    Thanx

    So I've answered my own question. In the properties tab of itunes.exe I went into Settings for all Users and unchecked the screen resolution option. Relatively simple, but it proved exceedingly frustrating. I guess in Vista you just have to uncheck everything twice. I still can't get rid of the compatibility mode message, but that was the least of my worries.

  • HP Mini Ability To View Win 8 Metro Under Its MAX Screen Resolution When Released :(

    This is just a question and I know it has got to be posted many, many time somewhere. I absolutely love the Mini and when I had some issues after my purchase a few months ago, the fantastic support agent even said when the actual Win 8 is released,  it will be so cool on it. Well, one major problem I never caught. While the Mini Desktop portion of Win 8 Consumer preview works great, the HP Mini ability to view Win 8 Metro under Its MAX screen resolution is not possible. Now I know HP does not support the consumer preview as of yet but am I just out of luck by the release date? Will there be some kind of patch or ability for current Mini buyers to use Win 8 Metro when released? I asked this question in a Win 8 forum and the response I got was just that Notebooks are not designed for these kinds of features and are simple in nature. I agree but that is backward having a small device that will not be able to use Windows 8 except on its Desktop and furthermore, something tells me that Minis after 2013 will?  Help....

    Anyway, I know there is nothing that can be done about it-its just frustrating knowing that in about 7 months, the upgrade will not mean much to these minis and pretty much a new unit within 12 months of an OS release. I doubt MS will lower the resolution rate but the 600 is right at that line for many programs as well. I never would have thought-I am just stuck and was hoping the 210 would be compatible to an OS that is supposed to be friendly with the smaller devices-now this is ironic.

  • Issue with screen resolution

    Hi,
    I need my VI to run on different screen resolutions.
    But the problem is that when the resolution changes the controls get distorted and i have to restart the applicaiton to bring the screen to origional form.
    I need to resize the controls according to the window size so i have checked the option to "scale objects while resizing".  
    I think this is why the controls get distorted besause of resizing.
    Is there any solution if want to keep both options for resizing and adjusting the screen for different resolutions.
    Regards
    Gagan 

    When you resize a VI automatically, the original size is not cached, thus changes are permanent.  If you resize again, the changes start from the changed values, not the original values.  Factor in the some integer roundoff issues and you have your problem.  In addition, different versions of LabVIEW have varying degrees of distortion as you change the screen size and system controls have limits on how they can change their size.  The only way to guarantee nice looking, scaleable panels is to do it all yourself programmatically (change location, size, and font sizes).  This is tedious, but straightforward, and you should only have to do it once.  It is made more difficult by the fact that there is no standard way to change the size of a control.  Use the event structure to determine when your panel has been resized.  Use the Defer Panel Updates property to speed the process.  In addition, you probably want to throttle the events so you don't get behind in processing them.  The easiest way to do this is to compare the new size reported by the Panel Resize event with the value from a property node which reads the panel size.  If they are equal, process the event.  If they are not, do nothing.  The last event will always be processed because the sizes will be the same.
    Good luck!  Let us know if you run into difficulties.

  • Macbook Pro Retina Screen Resolution Issues

    I have just bought a retina display Macbook Pro (Early 2013) with OS X 10.8.3 Mountain Lion. 
    Before getting it, I did not realize what an effect it would have on the use of my existing programs, and had I known, I would have thought twice before switching from my non-Retina Macbook Pro. I have never had so many problems with a brand new computer. On my retina screen, programs such as Microsoft Office 2011, Adobe Creative Suite 5 and Acrobat Pro X run with an awful screen resolution and impossibile legibility. The pixelated graphics and image quality hurt my eyes, beyond the fact that I cannot see my lines, images and text properly in order to work with them.
    In these programs, the "Open in Low Resolution" button is enabled permanatly and cannot be changed as it's option is ghosted out. I do not know how to make it look better or what to do. I cannot work using this low resolution and this issue has affected my productivity.

  • Out of the blue, my AppleTV went to a screen that had two icons, Computers and Settings. Why won't it go the the usual TV screen with viewing options? Help!

    Out of the blue, my AppleTV went to a screen that had two icons, Computers and Settings. Why won't it go the the usual TV screen with viewing options? Help!

    Here's what finally worked for me with Apple TV 3rd generation. Out of the box, when setup with wi-fi, it breezed through without any issue. As soon as I powered down and connected it to another tv (same wi-fi network), it got stuck at setting date/time. The remote would help in getting out of it, but the home would only have "Computers" and "Settings" and pretty much useless except for AirPlay. Here's what I did to resolve this:
    1. On your main router, temporarily disable the firewall or set it to the lowest setting allowable (a reboot of the router maybe required).
    2. Restart apple tv via the "restart" option in the "General" option in the main settings menu.
    3. It should breeze through and not show the "Setting date/time" screen.
    4. Once it loads up properly, turn on your fire wall as before  (a reboot of the router maybe required).
    I think it worked for me out of the box, but auto-update to the latest software introduced this bug. So, everytime apple tv tries to synch with the time server, this issue will come back. To disable this, I turned off the "auto time synch" option in Settings -> General.
    I am fairly confident that I'd be able to use steps 1 through 4 anytime this recurs. Possible scenarios causing recurrence of this issue:
    1. Unplugging the power to apple tv or power failures.
    2. OS updates.
    3. Restoring apple tv using "Restore" or via micro-usb and iTunes to the lastest OS.
    Hope this helps. Please post if this works for you.

  • After Effects Issue uploading to Youtube - Screen Resolution

    Hi All
    I've been struggling lately trying to get my set of youtube videos to appear at the proper resolution and ideally fullscreen without the black bars at the side.
    Youtubes recommended sizes:
    1080p: 1920x1080
    720p: 1280x720
    480p: 854x480
    360p: 640x360
    240p: 426x240
    My original videos are recorded in 1280x1024 which is what my screen resolution is set to, when I drop these videos into AE i set the comp size to 1280x1024 and i get a normal correct sized video. However when i render it out and upload it to the site I am given black bars down the side of the video and it does not appear full screen. (The quality is not great either if you do go fullscreen mode in the player - but the bars remain)
    Now youtube state this is fine and works ok but as a personal preference i'd just like the video to fit the player.
    but your not rendering at the recommended settings I hear you say; well, when I change the comp setting to 1280x720 i lose the top of my video and I am stuck as to how to fix it. Is the issue i'm having to do with the original video size, should i change resolution and record at 1280x720 (i dont have a widescreen) or is there a way around this in AE? I hope its not as easy as just scaling the video down in AE and forcing it to fit, something just feels wrong when I do that.
    i would apprecaite any help! I really would.

    You should be using the YouTube HD preset in the Adobe Media Encoder and your comps should be either standard HD 1080p or 720p. No matter what you upload to YouTube they will process the footage and set up the other resolution options.
    The important thing here is that youTube videos are either 16X9 or 4X3. Anything not at that picture aspect will end up with black borders at the top or on the sides. There is absolutely no way to override this. It cannot be done. The only way you can provide non standard video frame sizes to the public over the Internet is to use a codec that supports odd frame sizes and load it on your own server. All streaming services have standards and they are the same frame size.
    If you want to see your entire screen capture then you should either set your screen resolution to 1920 X 1080 and capture that or simply scale your screen capture footage or project so that it will fit into a standard HD comp.
    Saving a few KB in file size is not what you are looking for. The best picture and sound quality you can get in a streaming format is. That can only be achieved using the Adobe Media Encoder. The YouTube Presets are already optomized for the best you can get with this software for this delivery format. There is no need to re-invent anything. Just use the presets.
