Suddenly LED 24" Arrangement broken, only get 640 x 480 resolution

Yesterday, did a SuperDuper backup instructing "when finished shut down." This morning I fired up my MacBook Pro and the LED 24" and the latter will only display 640 X 480 resolution (very big with jaggies). Also the prior arrangement setting is gone and cannot be reset. I've tried unplugging the LED and restarting the MacBook Pro. Neither changes the situation.
Incidentally, in the Display window of System Preferences the MacBook Pro shows everything as normal. The Display window of the LED shows the ONLY resolution available is 640 X 280. In other words, it is not as though other options are presented to select. Toggling mirroring doesn't seem to do anything either.
Please help. In this condition the LED is useless.

Well, I seemed to have fixed the problem by unplugging the LED from both the MacBook Pro and the wall outlet. After counting to 10 I plugged it all back together and the LED is showing the proper resolution, arrangement and resolution options.
Of course, I'm still interested in trying to figure out what happened in the first place. If any of you have ideas, I'd like to hear them. The LED is plugged into a surge strip, so I'm discounting that. Perhaps while I was away last night, there was a power failure. Anyway, I've had this display for 8 months, love it and it has never behaved this way before.

Screen stuck on 640 x 480 resolution

I have a B & W g3 and about two months ago my screen resolution changed from 1280 x 960 to 640 x 480 making it preety difficult to do some simple tasks such as surfing the internet. If anyone has any clue as to how to solve this problem please help!!!

What kind of video connector is on your graphics board and monitor? Can you describe it? Does it have three rows of pins or two? I am trying to remember, but I believe a B&W G3 may date back to Apple's old monitor detection scheme of using jumpers and diodes across certain pins on the video connector. If a monitor wasn't read correctly or no monitor detected, it reverted to 640 x 480 at 67Hz, which is a legacy Apple timing associated with their very first Mac color monitor, a 14" that shipped with the Mac II. I think that is what is happening here. For some reason the graphics card isn't recognizing the display. The problem could be on either end. It's hard to say. Is there any way for you to get your hands on a second monitor to try? That would help determine where the problem lies.

640 x 480 resolution problem [solved]

I testing Arch. I've got it installed as a vbox guest. I plan (if things go well) to eventually turn it into a live CD, as I can't find one out there now that fully meets my needs.
So far, things have gone pretty smooth, but now I've hit a wall. I got lxde installed (live CD, so keep it light and lean) and it works. The problem is the resolution is stuck at 640 x 480. I can't increase it. xrandr says my max is 640 x 480, which I know isn't true. Obviously installing specific drivers isn't an option as I plan on doing the live CD. Quite a bit of searching turned up several solved, but most of those were physical hardware issues in the end (Puppy does 1600x1050 as a guest, so it's not hardware or vbox) and "it just fixed itself" isn't an answer for me. What am I doing wrong?

Vesa drivers are normally used as a fallback as it is very generic. Use the free or proprietary drivers for your intel/ati/nvidia instead.
Here is a quote from the beginner's guide:
"The vesa driver is a generic mode-setting driver that will work with almost every GPU, but will not provide any 2D or 3D acceleration. If a better driver cannot be found or fails to load, Xorg will fall back to vesa. To install it:"

ITunes seems to be broken, only get stereo sound

Hey all,
I use Windows XP Pro with the latest iTunes version and for several iterations of iTunes now, it only play in stereo mode (two speakers) and will not take advantage of the true capabilities of my PCI sound card, a Creative Audigy Gamer.
In Windows I can set the sound card to play in 'Quadraphonic Speakers' mode and I can play CDs with Windows Media Player and get the full effect I should get. I fire up iTunes and it only plays through the two 'front' speakers and absolutely refuses to play as it should with all four speakers going. It used to work a few iterations ago, but an iTunes+Quicktime update sometime past seems to have broken it!!
I have completely removed the Audigy drivers and the card, then re-installed all of it, because I know that the favorite response from folks is to do this first, so please don't tell me to do it again as I won't...unless you have some additional, deeper suggestions that might do it, of course!!
Personally, I think iTunes is broken, but I have no proof. Anyone else having this issue or knowof a fix?
TIA,
Just Me Here

Try right-clicking or Control-cicking the iTunes application and selecting "show package contents".
Check in Contents -> Resources Disabled to see if your remaining language files are there. If they are, drag them to Contents -> Resources. Close the Contents window and try launching iTunes again.

Mac Mini defaults to 640 by 480 and can't be reset?

Hello fellow macfolks...
I have a Mac Mini that I use only on an occasional basis. Tonight I connected it to my trusty, known-good NEC 20 inch monitor, and lo and behold, the mini boots up at 640 by 480 resolution with NO other choices in teh display panel.
I tried resetting the NV RAM, no good.
I tried to do a software update, and believe it or not, YOU CAN'T CLICK ON THE AGREED BUTTON ON THE SOFTWARE LICENSE TO UPDATE THE SYSTEM SOFTWARE!!!! And return, or enter don't work either.
Any suggestions as to what I should do? I looked around for a display preferences file that I might trash, but none are obvious. I tried a different (known good) monitor with a different cable, SAME THING.
I then took the thing to Frys and tried it with an HDMI monitor... it came up at a higher resolution, but still only one setting...
Is this a hardware problem?
Any help any of you geniuses at large can provide would be appreciated...
And Apple... you need to make sure that system updates can be performed at any resolution, or make your base default something higher please!

Macs to the Max!

If you did a clean install of the system then it is likely a hardware issue. Someone here more knowledeable than myself may know something more to help you, but after exhausting all other options I would lean towards a hardware problem.
You never said if when you started from the system disk if it also ran in 640x480. While I know you cannot change resolutions from the startup CD, it would be readily apparent if it too was running in 640x480 or if the other issue you had appeared. That would certainly indicate a hardware issue since the install disk should be a "clean" version of the system. You also never answered the question about safe boot, but after a clean install I would think that point is moot anyway.
I am assuming you did a clean install of the system, which if software was an issue it should have resolved it. I am unaware of any firmware or other updates that may have caused (or coulkd fix) this problem, but again I have not had any issues with any of the minis I own so I have not done any amount of troubleshooting.
Sorry I could not be of more help.

MulitScan 15 not doing 640 X 480 anymore

My Apple Multiple Scan 15 monitor is having trouble with 640 X 480 resolution. Left and right sides curve inwards and the menu bar is way past the top of the screen. This just happened the last time I turned it on, no obvious damage or settings changes. 800 X 600 works as does 832 X 764. Is this a sign of impending monitor failure? It is currently being used with a Performa 6300CD, and I use the lower resolution for watching TV.

A further curious fact to add to the mystery; the resolution 640 X 480 @ 67Hz is the one that I am having the problem with, but when I chose “all” instead of “Recommended” resolutions from the OS 8.1 Monitors & Sound control panel, a resolution of 640 X 480 appeared with no refresh rate given, and that one works fine!?! And of course I erred when I said that there is a resolution of 832 X 764, it is actually 832 X 624 @ 75Hz.
I basically got this Monitor for free louie, I was just wondering if anyone else had experienced this problem and knew of a quick, inexpensive fix, or if I should start the search for another MultiSync monitor.
Apropos of nothing, I do have another monitor waiting in the wings, a beautiful Apple 16” Color Display with a Trinitron screen, but unfortunately it only has one resolution; 832 X 624, which is a setting that the standard digitizer of the Apple Video Player won’t work with. Hence my need for a working MultiSync monitor.

640 by 480 video fitting into tv safe area

How do you get 640 by 480 video to fit in tv safe area?
There's documentation on scaling slides to the tv safe area; there's documentation on scaling the menu to the tv safe area. Uh, what about fitting the VIDEO to the tv safe area?
I'm doing a project in imovie with 640 by 480 mpeg 4 clips.

If you absolutely must ensure that everything in your video is visible on a TV, then you'd have to put a border around the video so the TV overscanning just hides the border. For most viewers, however, they won't notice the lost edge of the video because the action is happening in the TV safe area.
I don't know an easy way to put a border around your video in iMovie (perhaps one of the picture in picture plugins??), but I'd try the standard process and see if the results are reasonable. Note that adding the border will necessarily make your video smaller.
If anyone has shown an iMovie on an LCD TV, could you comment whether the CRT-TV overscanning is eliminated?

TS1424 I usually listen to a full 30 seconds of a song if I think I want to buy it just to make sure. All of a sudden I am only getting a 5 second clip so I've stopped buying for now. Ideas?

Depending on which country's store you are in, the previews are supposed to be either 30 or 90 seconds.
The last few days there have been several posts here that they are not getting the full preview. There is certainly no setting to control that, so I suppose the problem is at the store.
My suggestion is to try again in a few days, or to purchase from another online music download retailer.

Rrrrggh...now all of a sudden when I paste only get part

Either I'm just too tired and am doing something wrong after having had no problems with copy and paste or something is amiss.
When I select an image to paste in another image I am now only getting 1/4 of the image appearing as the paste selection.
Please enlighten me.
Thank you very much,
Moon52

Thanks for answer. I'll try tomorrow, too much editing....hours and hours. Clicking SELECT ALL is not the same thing? As for the image size, I'm pretty sure it is big enough. Besides, I have been pasting images into each other for days with most of these same photos and this hasn't been a problem before. I also noticed that the little tiny "preview" window on the list of files screen for choosing which file to open all of a sudden does not always show the whole image like it did before, at least for these pics. Could it have something to do with the fact that the images are .tiff files of small crops from other large photos?

HT4236 I have my photos in folders with subfolders on my pc. When I sync to my Ipad I only get the folders but not the subfolders, so all pictures came over but not broken into each subfolder. WHY?

I have my photos in folders with subfolders on my pc When I sync to my Ipad I only get the main folder but not the subfolders. All pictures that are in the subfolders are synced but in no order. I checked to sync all folders. Help!

Thanks for your reply.
Does that mean that as its just another way of accessing my photos then it does not increase double up on memory ? In my photo library after repeated sycs on my IP 4 there appear to be 3 identical pictures in a row sometime just 2, why would this be if its just another way of accessing my pics, this confuses me.

Connected a new 27" LED display and only get 1280 resolution

Ok....got the monitor connected through the adapter (AD-TP400) and only get 1280 resolution....how do I get the full res on this monitor?

Interesting. I have your monitor directly connected to a 2010 Mac Pro which has the mini displayport built into the video card. I also still have the original Mac Pro (1,1) it replaced and that has the NVIDIA GeoForce 7300GT with 2 DVI ports, the one on the right being dual-link.
Where did you get the AD-TP400 adapter? I've searched on that part number and can't find it anywhere. I do see that Apple lists a connector which can do that but there is no part number associated with it.

I want to sync tasks in Outlook with my iPhone. I have tried Toodledo (not good) and Todo. Todo works, but it cuts off most of the text. I only get the beginning of my (long) lists. Any ideas how I can solve this problem?

Usually if you have some kind of hardware failure there is some beeping during POST or most motherboards now have LED indicators to produce and error message based on the type of failure
So if its bad memory, not place properly, mismatched, processor not inserted properly, mismatched voltage or voltage connector not present etc it beeps or generates the error id.
Power supplies can be tested for failure. There are some walk throughs for testing just them with a switch, paperclip or a jumper (I'd suggest not doing this if you are not familiar with the dangers of electricity).
Memory can be tested with memory diagnostics programs like Memtest+
Processors can overheat if the proper precautions have not been taken usually you will get a POST beep or error code for that.
If the motherboard has no response then do the basics first:
Check power connectors and power supply. Once you determine that is not the case move on to other items like graphics cards in all the way or memory.

How com I only get sound on my left earphone after updating to latest ios7

Have you checked the balance slider?
Settings --> General --> Accessibility. Scroll down and check the balance slider.

Can't open/create documents or mount objects (I only get an error message)

I start with excusing my English, I'm from Sweden...
When I have been working in Photoshop for a while I suddenly can't open or create documents, I only get an error message in Swedish meaning: Cannot fulfil your request due to a program error. Same phrase appears when trying to mount an object, linked or embedded doesn't matter.
When using Cmd+O I get this:
My CC is up to date, what has happened and how can I fix it?

That is a well know bug in MacOS 10.10, that Apple is aware of and working to solve.
Basically the Open dialog on MacOS 10.10 has problems that can throw odd error messages back into the host application. Sometimes it throws a string (like the NSArray error), sometimes it throws just an unknown exception (which Photoshop displays as "program error").
Some people have had luck avoiding the problem by changing the view in the OS open/save dialog to something else (icons, list, etc.).
Opening files by double clicking or dragging to the Photoshop icon works and avoids the OS issues in the open/save dialogs.

Recently upgraded my macbook pro 13 late 2009 to an ssd but only getting a quarter of the speed

Hi, i recently upgraded my macbook pro 13 inch to a OCZ VERTEX 3 240gb ssd. The drive is supposed to be able to have write speeds of 500mb/s and read speeds of up to 550 mb/s but when i run a speed test on the disk im only getting a max write speed of around 105 mb/s, and read speed of 137mb/s ish, now the negotiated speed is only 1.5gb/s I have trim enabled, and i have tried changing the link speed but with no luck. The drive is rated for 6gb/s also. The drive is not in the hard drive bay because my hard drive cable is broken, i have it in the optical bay right now, could someone please help me or tell me how to make the drive at least go up to sata 3 speeds,

The 2009 MBPs were built with a very cheaply made HDD to LB cable. So I bet if you change that cable you will see more speed from that SSD.
