Suddenly low res and off size.

Dual LCD cinima displays (R - newer aluminum frame / L older plastic frame) using Nvidia Geforce 8800 GT - This morning checking mail I noticed the type was scummy and hard to read. My main monitor (L) is bleeding over onto the right and off the bottom. Both displays show scummy type. Rebooting, un/replugging, reinstall system, downloaded latest drivers from nvidia..... Monitors respond to change of display settings but type is still really scummy and the L frame still bleeds over to the R.
Reboot in safe mode - grey linen looks fine till I log in and it begins the process of shifting to my work screens. You can see a sudden shift of the L display overlapping the R even in grey linen.
All software is updated that I know of. Mac OSX Lion 10.7.5
Is this a software or hardware issue? Take it to the shop or try something else?

Powerbook G4 12 " display is low res and faint

Dear Gurus of such things,
My Powerbook G4 12" display goes into some kind of low res and faint display after restarting. After days of this, it will suddenly become high res and clear again, for no reason that I can tell. It also recovers after my Powerbook has been connected to a projector.
Is there some way to fix this poor display after restarting without connecting it to a projector?
Thanks Scotianova

Why not ask Applecare to replace the whole laptop ?
by the way,is your MBP a Core or Core 2 Duo?
I am currently using a Core 2 Duo MBP, it's working well(except for a defective battery )but i am happy with it.

Script to save out PDFs in High Res and Low Res and name them accordingly?

Hello
I'm on Indesign version 9.1. I previously had a script for this and have since had my mac wiped and re-installed (big company rules). So, here I am asking if someone can help me again..
Basically I have to create artwork and nearly every time I have to export it as a 150dpi LOW RES version and then a 300dpi HIGH RES version with time marks, bleed, etc. I then end the file name with either LR.pdf or HR.pdf. I have presets for these and obviously, it's not the worst thing in the world having to scroll down menus, etc but this is maybe up to 50 times a day. I used to be able to select an icon on my desktop (or wherever) then I used Indesign scripting and automator on the mac to press a kay command and it'd open the document, then save it out as the two designated PDFs, then close it.
Can anyone help me on this?
I can probably search on here for the previous thread asked and the script given to me...

Adding somthing like below to Script 2 pdf outputs?
var myLayer = app.documents.item(0).layers.item("Background");
myLayer.visible = true

Tired of constant issues - Screen is low res and flickers.

Hi..
I am so beaten down by these constant problems with my MBP. Looks like I'm going in for a third repair, again, with multiple problems. And again, not all problems will warrant their even looking at them all.
For instance, they didn't give my crooked fitting battery as much as a glance last repair, because the screen was the main issue.
Again, the screen is an issue this time. It looks like it's showing in low resolution. I know the problem is mechanical, because moving the lid will cause the screen to flicker, display lines, and eventually solve the problem temporarily once the exact right angle is found.
But why does this keep happening? It must be a crimped cable or a bad card, right? But in additon, the computer has been running hotter lateley. It seems to have a problem with high demands on video apps, even running small QT files.
And for the second time, my charge cable literally melted right through, and was about to catch fire. My computer is incredibly hot as I type this.
I think what I want to know now is: how many issues does it take before apple acknowledges a Lemon?
And, question two: suppose I want to sell this computer, do you think I would be better of with a Macbook, or even an older Powerbook? Or should I buy a nice Imac? I can't keep dealing with breaking computers, melting cables that could possibly burn down my apt. building in my absence and the downtime.
It's tiring, and an expensive maching like this should perform better. It's disappointing, especially since I switched from the PC so enthusiastically a few years ago. I really want to keep believing in Apple.
Thanks for any suggestions - I am off to the Apple store to part with my Macbook Pro for another couple of days again - third time in seven months!

WRT600N: sudden lows speeds and fluctuating signal strength at 5Ghz/ dropouts

Dear Admins,
I have had the WRT600N for 2 months in operation, at first everything was running smoothly (5ghz, Excellent signal, 270Mnps consistently).
All of a sudden the router started acting up and my range is low and the speed is a mere 81Mbps. Prior to that I used to download and stream content all the time.....I have tried hard ressetting and changing the wireless settings, but to no avail. The current firmware on my router is 1.01.35 build 3 and I own a WRT600NV11 (aka v1.1). I checked for new updates on this model, however I only found for v1.0?!?!?! What kind of customer support is this?? I am very disappointed and appauled by the lack of updates for this model. I humbly request for a solution for the problem.
Thank you...

Znil: I tried doing what you said, but it did not work...my 5Ghz signal is abysmally low...though I did not update the firmware from the V1, because it is not meant for v1.1. unless I have a written consent form Linksys to do so, I do not want to put the wrong firmware version and in the end nothing works...I do not want to take that risk...
Update: I am having the same problem on the 2.4Ghz
Are there ANY Firmare updates coming for this wreck?!?!?!?!?!?!**bleep**!!!!

Mobile images are low res and fuzzy

I dont know why all my mobile images are fuzzy. I dont see the use original size or whateve that is in the assets panel...
how do i make my mobile images be as sharp as the desktop version, but maintain their smaler size..
http://rigandkeel.com is the site. mobile and tablet versions look bad...

Hi,
Sorry I wasn't clear enough. You need to place the image in Muse such that its width (see the control strip or the Transform panel) reads, say, 550px.
You'll also need to increase your page width to accommodate this wider image.
Try these on your phone:
http://museforum.businesscatalyst.com/phone/5618166a.html
(325x217 image; pixelated in landscape)
http://museforum.businesscatalyst.com/phone/5618166b.html
(550x367 image; looks better, but you need to scroll the page horizontally as the image does not fit)
http://museforum.businesscatalyst.com/phone/5618166c.html
(550x367 image; page is 550px wide; looks fine and fits)
I chose 550px somewhat arbitrarily. You'll need to find the right balance between image quality and load time (particularly important on phones).

HT2178 external speakers suddenly working on and off

After getting a new hard drive installed, I have the problem with my nio 2/4 sound card which looses sound completely (however power light button is still on).
This problem comes and goes but I need this to be fixed as I make live music and this will be embarrasing if the sound goes off during my set. Can anyone please help?

A 500 GB hard drive may (?) use more power than the original drive, and perhaps cause an issue with power available on the USB bus. That does not mean all 500GB hard drives would have this problem. A higher perforrmance drive (such as 7200 RPM versus 5400 PRM) needs more power. It's also possible that the new drive generates more heat, and the heat may be causing the issue.
But it could also be coincidental that this problem developed at the same time as the hard drive swap. The only way to test is to put the original drive back (if it's not faulty and you still have it) to see if the problem recurs. It may not be helpful to replace the drive with another of the same type, because the drive is probably not faulty (it may just require more power than your MacBook's original drive). You can also choose a drive that is known to be more power efficient, versus higher performance.
A possible work-around, if the cause is power on the USB bus, is to get a powered USB hub, for example
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/USB2HB7PRO/
If you connect this to one of your MacBook's USB ports and then connect your devices to the hub, the hub would supply the power to the devices, relieving the MacBook's USB bus. There are many products of this type, but you need to make sure it is powered (has it's own power supply). Less expensive USB hubs draw power from the USB port, which would defeat the purpose.

Screen content has suddenly gotten enlarged and off screen. Solution??

Everything the bar on the top, and the dock have been pushed off screen. Everything is larger. It's an easy solution, what is it please? Thank you.

Or, Zoom (not mouse zoom) may have been activated. To check for that, go to System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing and ,ake sure Zoom is turned off.
Note that there is a keyboard shortcut to enable and disable that Zoom. To prevent it from being accidentally activated, you can go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts, select Universal Access in the left pane, then uncheck the applicable items in the right pane.

Baffled by My Low Res Output on FCP7

I'll admit to not being an expert but I'm not a beginner either. This one has me stumped. Producing two minutes videos on DVD with FCP7. Output DV NTSC 720X480 anamorphic. Up until yesterday DVDs looked fine on a 720 widescreen. Then... suddenly... DVED playback resolution is low and credits screen fonts at the end (LiveType Movie) were abysmally low res and fuzzy. Everything seems the same as my previous projects... which all look great! Have tried different codecs, QT , Compressor etc. Does any of this ring a bell with anyone. It's probably something really stupid... but eludes me. Thanks in advance for any ideas you might have.

Hi Tony,
I've tried several things. I set my in and out points and exported via Quicktime Movie. I've exported via Quicktime Movie Conversion with several different settings. I've placed my QT export directly into Compressor and tried several methods there... including adjusting frame motion. I'm just totally baffled by the awful low res output. I've done this soooo many times in the past and now, all of a sudden, the output is atrocious.

Low res sky in

hello all can you help me with this my pc? has ax2 3800 amd cpu 2 gig ram? and 2 7800 glx in sli? when i play bf2? the bottom of the screen looks? great all settings on high but the sky looks very low res and very poor and blocky the bottom looks so good and the sky looks so bad something has to be wrong the game? runs as smooth as anything but i am at a loss also any news on a xfi patch thanks for all and any help

Moved to General as it doesn't relate to any Creative products.
Do you have the latest drivers for the graphics cards? Are you using a custom profile, if so, what SLI setting did you use? (like split screen, or SLI antialiasing).

Photo quality low res in iMovie. I can't fix it.

No Matter what the quality of my image (jpeg), after I import it (from iPhoto or any other way, for that matter) the photo is low res and I cannot get a crisp image in iMovie 6.0.1.
iMovie 5 did a fine job of reproducing my images. Now, I am at my wits end. I cannot get a project started with iMovie 6 because the images look so horrible.
Is there something I'm missing?

You can use the "screenshot" method, which means just screenshot the picture when only the picture shows. Not any of the white spacing with edit and such on it. Then use the screenshotted picture as your background.

PC content viewer shows only low res thumbnails of PDF folios (from folio builder)

Since i can't seem to find a similar question, here's my story:
I've recently held a small class of 2*18 students, running various versions of indesign (mostly Cs6 and CC) and various OS (MacOs, Win7, Win 8).
On the Win 7 and 8 systems, some of the students had a blurry/low res and no interactivity feature output of anything coming from Folio Builder.
Regular Interactive Overlay Folio preview always turned well, and preview on the devices were ok too (except for the long process of putting things online when the PC users would want to preview on an iPad).
But i couldn't work them out of the horrible low res preview when the folios were built in Folio Builder.
So far i haven't found time to narrow the failing machines (we didn't have a lot of time for this).
Is this problem known ? Is there a workaround ?

Hi bob, as i mentionned in the title, it's the PC (aka desktop) Content Viewer that's concerned.
I know it's supposed to be rasterized, but the problem here is their (desktop) Content Viewer really displays the thumbnails instead of the expected (and interactive) content.
I had never encountered this kind of behaviour before, and couldn't track that on the website.

Best way to select pixels in a low res image

Hi,
I need to trace the attached logo and make it white. I've tried selecting the pixels using the quick selection tool but it's very low res and even with some tweaks (removing and adding to the selection) its still not getting a good selection. What is a better and ideally fast way? Thanks!

Hi,
Is your logo a flattened image (only one layer)
Or is the text on a separate layer from the white background?
Could you post a screenshot including the layers panel?
Something like this with the logo white on it's own layer

Low Res Photo's when outputting to iDVD

I'm using a last generation iMac G5 with the latest OS X updates.
When I create a slide show (No KB effects) to go in betwen video segments in my iMovie projects, The photo's all output looking Low Res and pixelated. All photo are a minimum of 1024 x 768 in iPhoto before adding to iMovie. I am using iMovie HD and was wondering if I am overlooking some settings. I believe I have all output settings to best quality.
This problem also happens when I make a solely slide show movie of images, and then inport into iDVD.
Is this an iDVD or iMovie issue.

Hi K
Yes this is a known problem. Main reason and origin (or most harmful) is:
- in iMovie using Share/Export to iDVD function and then OK the question
on rendering.
IF You done this I'm sorry to say that You most probably has to re do Your
SlideShow. Rendering also destroys the original iMovie movie.
HowTo ?
- Close iMovie when SlideShow is ready.
- Open iDVD and drop the movie icon (with a star on it) into the theme window.
Now iDVD will do the rendering and so much better.
Other origins is:
- kind of photo-files used. I use .jpg photos.
- strangely I think that low free space on the internal hard disk also affects
the end result (should be 25Gb free) if less than 10 or even worse < 5Gb all
kind of strange thing happens.
Yours Bengt W

My iphone 4s suddenly displays images from Yahoo, Google, and Flickr at low resolution. The camera on my phone works fine, but any web related photo content is now pixelated and low res, what's the deal?

My iphone 4s suddenly displays images from Yahoo, Google, and Flickr at a low resolution. I have IOS 7.0.4. My phone camera works fine, but any web based photo content from Safari, Yahoo images, Google images, and Flickr all come in pixelated and low res. What's the deal?

It happened to me but later I figured out that cellular signal was not that great and so the Internet was very slow. It took me about 2 minutes to get the full resolution picuture on either of the app you've described. Try to get faster internet either by wifi or good signal and then check.

Suddenly low res and off size.
