Startup display has changed

When I turn on my MacBook Pro the little apple is now big and stretched out. None of the other displays are bigger. What could this be?

Hi, i had the same problem but i noticed it happened to me when i plugged my macbook pro to the tv (via dvi port) to watch movies and restarted while the tv was plugged to my mac.
I was able to fix it by plugging in an lcd display (via dvi port), and changing its resolution to at least 1280x1024, after i changed its resolution i restarted de mac and voila!! the apple was back to normal(once you restart you can unplug the lcd display)

  • My entire color display has changed? I can't do anything

    This morning I woke my computer up and started running WOW, after about half an hour the game froze and I had to restart the program. After this I would not allow me to log in so I then restarted the computer. After this the entire display of my computer has changed from normal to dominantly reds and yellows and I can barely distinguish text or use any programs because I simply cannot make out what anything is. The display settings have not changed and when I first log in it is normal for about half a second.
    I am out of ideas and don’t know what to do to rectify the situation.
    Please help me
    Note: all I did was restart my mac book

    I have seen this many times in the past few days, with few solutions. Mostly in iTunes. Check iTunes and post back to see if the problem is there as well. I may be able to assist if the problem is the same.

  • The font for english display has changed

    Hello,
    I have this problem where the font that displays on my browser has changed to an unknown f0nt. It is still an English alphabet compatible font, so I can read what is written, but its harder to tell what it says compared to other more fundamental/basic fonts.
    I'm not too sure what font it is, but regardless I would like it not to show up. I've tried to change some of the settings, but nothing has worked so far.
    I work on a MACOSX system.

    You can do a check for corrupted fonts and other font issues:

  • Display has changed

    I recently installed an extra Gig of Ram and an update to Aperture 2.0. Since then the display has expanded very slighly, for example the top menu bar is cut in half horizontally. all windowns seem to be slightly larger than they should be.
    Also the outline of text appears to be fuzzy.
    I have not changed the resolution, which remains at 1440x990.
    Any suggestions for a fix?

    Hi sjaycee: It sounds like your desktop has become slightly zoomed. Go to System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing, turn of the Zoom function. Hopefully this gets your screen back to normal.
    Good Luck

  • MacBook won't join networks on startup - what has changed?

    I seem to have posted this in the wrong forum (Tiger rather than Snow Leopard), so on advice from iyacyas I'm reposting it here. Maybe it should be in the MacBook forum, but I will start here:
    I am using my MacBook with the same version of the OS and the same networks as 2 weeks ago, but now I find that when I start up the machine near a known network (a WiFi router permanently connected to the Internet), the WiFi connects but I am not actually on the Internet. If I turn Airport off and on again, or if I renew the DHCP lease in Network Preferences, then I connect to the Internet instantly. This happens on networks in different countries with different levels of security (including one network with no security at all). I can't figure out how to fix it, and I can't figure out what has changed. I have done various Apple updates since installing 10.6.2 but none have claimed to do anything to network connections. Can anyone help me to get back to where I was.
    BTW this problem doesn't seem to occur on my other Macs (one Intel, one PowerPC - tho these don't move around between locations) or my iPod touch.

    Thanks - it took me a long time but eventually I tried a version of this. My MacBook remembers maybe eight networks and I don't know how easily I could re-harvest their passwords (the person who set it usually has to be present to tell me and that's not always the case), so I tried it with just one network, the one which I'm using now and which I set up myself. As it doesn't have a password (I live a long way from the next house and my nearest neighbours are a couple of un-cyber-aware horses), so there was no Keychain entry that I could see for the password. So I just deleted the network from the Airport list, and sure enough when I restarted I got an Internet connection immediately. However when I tried it again this morning, the problem had returned. As before, I can't see what has changed since this worked every time, nor what is the difference between my restart and my turning Airport off and on after the machine boots up.
    Puzzled.

  • The original display has changed and the native display isn't an option

    I understand that the native Display is 1440 x 900. This is not an option with my 3 month old Mac Book Pro. I want it the way it was when I first bought it and can't seem to find it. Help, please!

    What options are selected and deselected if you go to System Preferences and Dock?
    1. click the apple logo
    2. click System Preferences
    3. click Dock
    What's there?
    It's possible your child just messed around with these settings and moved the dock to the left or right and triggered auto-hide and so forth

  • My macbook pro's screen display has suddenly gone into a strange colour setting where everything appears in a kind of infrared colour palette an I can;t seem to change it back.  It's the same for all icon and websites, does anyone know how to restore?

    Wow!  I think I had this same issue just last night.
    I was cleaning my macbook pro retina on the outside.  Then I opened it up and was wiping dust off the monitor and I can't pinpoint exactly when, but the colors changed suddenly.  It looked super strange, it was like green halo's and it looked worse when looking at it at an angle.  Of course I took no pictures!!!  I was freaking out that my 2 grand laptop was busted and I somehow removed a protective film or something.
    But I digress...  The image looked very green and spacey, it was almost a neat effect.  After about 5 minutes it started to look a little more digital though.  There were straight lines of this halo effect on the edges and top.  After about 10 minutes it turned into a predominate issue with the blacks on screen.  I could open a web browser and it was unnoticable on a white background.  After about 15 minutes, you could only barely see the green cloud effect if you looked at the monitor from an extreme angle.  After about 20 minutes, it was completely back to normal, I almost feel paranoid like I see a halo or something strange.  But I believe that might be all in my head now.
    So yerp, lemme know what you guys figure out.

  • My ipad display has turned x-ray.  Is it broken or has settings been changed.

  • Display suddenly changed I have tried changing in utilities but nothing works.  The print is enormous and out of focus the screen has shrunk in width but programs open too stretched in length? What can I do?

    The display suddently changed two days ago.  Everthing exploded in size.  I have tried changing the contrast but nothing works.  The display screen becomes either too wide, too long, or too narrow and in all cases the font is extra large and out of focus.  What can I do please   I am really disappointed since my iMac is only 2.5 months old.

    Don't think so.  But tried it anyway.  I have been into utilities and tried different contrast settings now I don't know what is the right one.  But no matter which one I tried I have either about a third of the screen black, with display centered as though hidden behind the black.  What is going on?
    Also, I have to say that I can't understand why there is no information anywhere on what the correct settings should be.
    Any ideas Capt?

  • Q:Determine if a item value has changed

    Hello,
    I am sure I am missing something basic but I just can't figure out how to do accomplish this.
    I have a form with a radio button (Yes or No) which I need to determine in a Page Process if the user has changed the value to Yes or not. The result of this will decide if I am going to send an email or not.
    I am running APEX 4.2.1.
    Anyone?
    Thanks
    Andy

    Okay.
    1) For the Dynamic Action:
    You want the Action to be "Execute PL/SQL Code".
    Under Settings, in the code window just put the single "null;" satement.
    Under Settings, for Page Items To Submit - Pxx_RADIO -- note - no colon here!
    Under Setitngs, for Page Items to Return - Pxx_RADIO_LAST -- not no colon here!
    (And don't put both Items on both line because that just causes a lock up when executed.)
    2) The only down side is that if you display Pxx_RADIO_LAST, it will not show it's value until the Pxx_RADIO is change and the values is return in the Dynamic Action. But as soon as it's returned, it's the old value of Pxx_RADIO. And if Pxx_RADIO is toggled, Pxx_RADIO_LAST remains that initial value that it was when first set. If you want to see Pxx_RADIO_LAST on the screen when the page renders, I suppose tou need a DA to save it to the session state when it's set in the before header process.
    If you want, look here on p. 5.
    Workspace: SIMPLE_DEMOS
    UN: hcarson at woh.rr.com
    PW: SD123456789
    RADIO_DEMO ID:25096
    Dever / Ima9Dever
    Page 3: Radio Group
    Page 4: Checkbox
    Page 5: Hidden Item Demo
    To see that the value is saved, Set Radio Group to "Yes" and then go to p. 4. Go back to p.5 and "Yes" will be still be set but the Text Field -- I changed to Text from Hidden -- will be blank. When you click No, then the "Pxx_RADIO_LAST" value of Y will appear here. (Make sense?)

  • How to tell if column value has changed for use in workflow actions

    Hello,
    I am using Sharepoint 2010 and for one of my Lists, I am using a general list workflow.  What I need to be able to do is determine if a column value has change (say an "Assigned To" field) because I only want to take some action if that particular
    value has changed.  I want to be able to have a workflow action that would be something like:
    If Current Item: Assigned To not equals [OLD VALUE]
    I have found some web searches that talk about creating a duplicate list or duplicate (but hidden) column but that doesn't seem to be the way to go.  I have document versioning set but don't if that can be used to help with this.  One possible
    thought (although I haven't tried it to see if it works) is to create local variables and have the values in the variables be the "old value".  Just not sure if there is a best practices for doing this.
    Thanks for any thoughts - Peter

    Helen,
    Not sure I fully understand your goal.  We don't use "tasks" at all but if you are looking to have your workflow check certain valus and be able to send email messages to people based on whatever, then you can certainly do that (as long as your Sharepoint
    has the email setup.  We do this for alot of workflow tasks.
    So, in the workflow you can have a blanket statement like what I previously listed:
    if Current Item:hiddenStatus  not equals Current Item:Status
        .... do something
    or you can do something like:
    if Current Item:hiddenStatus equals "In-Progress"
        .... do something
    Else if Current Item:hiddenStatus  equals "Completed"
        .... do something
    or combine the two and do nested "if" statements.  Then you add an email statement wherever you need it like:
    if Current Item:hiddenStatus  equals "Completed"
       then email "these users"
    To add the email part, just type in "email" on the line where you want to add a statment.  There is only one option to choose from.  That will display the line "then email these users".   The "these users" will be a link.  When you
    click it you will get a popup to add the email info.  We typically will send the email to a user (or users) that are already listed in one of the PeoplePicker fields.  On the email form, you can type in your own text, designate that a value is based
    on a column value (like our PeoplePicker), designate that a value is based on a workflow variable, add a link to the current item, etc.  To get to these options you will click the button to the right of the fields or use the "Add or Change Lookup" button
    in the bottom-left for the text area.  There is alot you can set in the mail.
    Does this help answer your question?

  • Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 domain join displays error "Changing the Primary Domain DNS name of this computer to "" failed...."

    Hi,
    Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 domain join displays error "Changing the Primary Domain DNS name of this computer to "" failed...."
    DC:windows Server 2008 R2
    Domain functional level:Windows Server 2003
    When Winxp join domain, have no this error message.
    I checked http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2018583?wa=wsignin1.0 does't work.
    There have 3 suggestion in this article:
    1.The "Disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP" checkbox has been disabled in the IPv4 properties of the computer being joined.
    Doesnt's work.
    2.Connectivity over UDP port 137 is blocked between client and the helper DC servicing the join operation in the target domain.
    On my DC, I run netstat -an, reslut as below:
     UDP    192.168.20.3:137       *:*
    3.The TCP/IPv4 protocol has been disabled so that the client being joined or the DC in the destination domain targeted by the LDAP BIND is running TCP/IPv6 only.
    We are not using IPV6.
    This server recently updated from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008 R2. Before upgrade, when Win7 and Win2008 join this domain, also have the same error message.
    Please help to check this issue.
    Thank you very much.

    Hi Guo Ying,
    I have faced this critical error which makes over-writes the host names in the domain when you join.
    For example: Already you had a host name called as PC.domain.com in the domain.com Domain.
    When you try to add the another host name called as PC in the domain.com Domain, it doesn't give you the duplicate name error on the network it does over-write the existing host name called as PC.domain.com & it will add the new host name into the domain.
    Host name which got over-written will get removed from the domain. I faced this issue in my project. My DPM host name got removed from the Domain & new host name got joined into the domain which halted my backups for one day.
    Final Resolution is as follows:
    You need to start the dns console on the DC & drop down the domain name.
    Select the _msdcs when you click on _msdcs it will show the Name Server's list on the right hand side.
    You need to add the Domain Naming Master under the _msdcs or add all the domain controllers which you had.
    After you add the Name server's try joining the PC OR Laptop to the domain which is successfully joins it.

  • External display resolution changes after returning from display sleep

    I often use an external display as a second screen with my Macbook Pro (OS X 10.8.2)  However, when I return to the computer after the display has gone to sleep, the external display resolution changes when the display reappears.  Then I have to go into System Preferences > Display and "Detect Displays" in order to return the external display to the proper resolution.
    Does anybody know of a way for me to avoid having to do this every time my display sleeps?
    Thank you,
    Adam

    I have the exact same problem.
    I found the key combination ⌘ alt F2 also restores the proper resolution on both displays, however it's still a bit annoying
