I found out with one reboot all of the will go. so i did

Option "Monitor-VGA1" "VGA screen"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "VGA screen"
Modeline "1600x900_60.00" 118.25 1600 1696 1856 2112 900 903 908 934 -Hsync +Vsync

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Primary Screen"
Device "Intel Xeon"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1600x900"
EndSubSection
EndSection
But there is no use after all this work. the restart will undo all the work. even the 1600*900 will disappear from the xrandr command output
How could i make it Persistent

Hello krax
You didn't give a Driver line in the Section "Device" of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Xeon"
Driver "........." <--------------------------you need a driver there
Option "Monitor-VGA1" "VGA screen" <-----------------I don't think these are valid options
EndSection
Also try to add the '_60.00' suffix to all the "1600x900" references.
And look into the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file to see what happens.
Good luck.

International Date Format Doesn't "Stick"

I have tried to set the international date and time format to "medium" for both the Dates and Times sections, but no matter what I do the change doesn't stick. Upon restart, the setting has reverted to "short". What can I do to get the "medium" setting to stay?

Hi Jason -
Not sure if this will work but try deleting the presets that are present, then select 'medium' then add the numerical bits that you want into the empty space by dragging them over. Don't forget to hit OK. After this try logging out to see if it stuck or not.

Capture Noise Print doesn't stick

I had to reinstall Audition CC to restore broken Dynamic Linking with Premiere. Now, whenever I capture a Noise Print then open the Noise Reduction process, it hasn't retained the profile. I have to capture from within the NR process in order to get a print. Simple enough to do but was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this.

I've also had it happen before and, like you, assumed it was me so I didn't report it.
Today I was being fairly careful because I was going to write a "did you do xxx" reply to the OP--and my first try didn't retain the noise print where my second one on the same recording did.
One thing I noticed was that the graphic display appeared to give noise print details but they's wouldn't move when I adjusted the sliders.
Possibly an intermittant bug? Certainly one to keep an eye on.
Edited to add an update:
Playing with the NR and noise print, it appears that the first time after opening Audition, if you use "Capture Noise Print" (Cntrl P) from the main "twirl down" it doesn't stick. Subsequent uses of the facility are fine but, once you've closed Audition and re-opened it, you get another "blank". I suspect the reason I've not noticed this properly before is that I quickly learned there are fewer clicks to simply go into NR and grab the noise print from there rather than get one "on the way in" as it were.
Anyhow, that's what's happening on my machine.

InDesign Cs5 displayed with wrong resolution (doesn't work in 1920x1080)

Hello everybody
I've encountered a resolution issue concerning Indesign CS5 (and Illustrator CS5). The problem only concerns my brandnew laptop running under Windows 8.1 (Screen Resolution 1920x1080). On my other, older PC (with the same native screen resolution), but running under Windows 7, the problem doesn't exist.
The problem consists in the fact, that Indesign CS5, even though everything else is displayed in 1920x1080 is displayed in some lower resolution, making a good workflow impossible, *** the texts I write are not very readable if I want the whole page displayed (and it's ugly). In other Adobe CS5 Apps, like Photoshop CS5, this problem does not occur. It doesn't also occur in the trial version of Indesign CC, but I cannot afford paying over 30€ per month just to be able to work with an acceptable work resolution. (That should really be included in the price I paid for CS5.)
To see what I mean, here are the links to 2 screenshots taken of those 2 Apps, with exactly the same screen settings:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4786930/Indesign%20CS5%20Screenshot%20Windows%208-1.jp g
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4786930/Photoshop%20CS5%20Screenshot%20Windows%208-1.j pg
Is there any workaround known for this problem? It is driving me crazy
Best regards,
Frank

What's bizar is that other applications work perfectly fine at the right resoution (like photoshop CS5 for example). The screen runs at its native resolution. The rest of the program works "fine" (except its uglyness because it somehow doesn't display in 1920x1080 even though that are the native settings of the screen.)
What do you mean exactly by running the laptop at 100% for the UI? I did not use any other programs and the laptop is brandnew. Actually CS5 is the first application I installed...

DNS-resolution doesn't work with VPN

Hello,
I setup a l2tp vpn connection in the iPhone and nearly all works perfectly. But the most important part doesn't work: The DNS-resolution after connecting to the VPN.
It's possible to send pings over the 'ping'-App and I also can ping the iPhone from the network. Safari also works with IP-Adresses. But when I try to use a hostname the resolution fails. Equally for internal and external addresses.
On my MacBook Pro the VPN works and Mac OS is able to resolv hostnames. So the server should be alright.
So I think there is a bug in the resolver-part of iPhone OS. Please fix this Apple.
Kind regards,
lord-of-linux

Thanks for your hint to send this as a bug report. But today I had time and continued testing and changed some settings of my l2tp-Server and now I's working fine. I don't know where I had the mistake, but it seems that it was my fault.
Now the only problem I have to solve is access over NAT, but this is not iPhone specific.

Resolution doesn't fill screen

My new i5 mac mini says it's using my monitors full resolution 1920x1080 but it doesn't fill the screen.
Using thunderbolt to VGA adapter.
1600x1200 fills screen but is ugly.
Any help would be appreciated.

The native resolution my display is 1080p Full HD 1920X1080 60Hz I use it with the macbook unibody and the mini displayport / VGA Adapter I didn´t test it with the new mac mini

Display brightness setting doesn't stick on power cycle

The display brightness setting doesn't seem to stick during power cycles on my new 13" i7, it almost always sets itself to full brightness when I turn it on. This isn't really a huge deal but it is kind of a nuisance as I typically keep it around half, why should I be turning it back down every time I boot up???.
I have un-checked the box through settings for adjusting brightness based on ambient light, and made sure it is in fact staying un-checked.
I have also reset PRAM a few times now which seems to provide a temporary fix only. After a day or two it's back to square one again.
Any ideas, or is this a bug that there's currently no fix for?

Hi, I have recently bought GE60-0ND notebook with Win8 preinstalled which I got rid of in a second I got home, reinstalled with my licensed Win7. Half of things didn't work so I flashed the correct firmware. From that point on everything works perfectly, only brightness control is broken. I simply cannot control my monitor's brightness with my special keys nor in power control setup. So I googled.. and some smart guy recommended a bios flash as well. But when I try, it says either "Problem getting flash information" or "Problem getting bios information".
Any thoughts how to get the brightness control work?
Thanks for any kind of advice
Did you switch the BIOS and the EC Firmware to the Windows 7 counterparts?
You may want to ask Svet about that error.

MacPro - Desktop screensize too big. How can I resize it (sys pref resolution doesn't work).

I have an iMac and am using a Macbook Pro. The desktop screensize is way too big for the screen. The top toolbar and bottom icons can only be viewed by moving the screen around. SysPrefs resolution (and text resizing) doesn't do a thing. Any suggestions from anyone? (Both products are a few months to a year old).
Thanks!

Hold down Control and scroll down with the mouse or trackpad.
Regards,
Captfred
Edit: Your screen is zoomed, this will unzoom it.

Spyder2express doesn't stick

All,
A friend of mine just recently lent me his spyder2express monitor color calibrator thinger and I used it on my newly purchased Asus W3J laptop.
The resulting profile was a lot warmer then what was on it originally.
My big problem is that the color profile does not stay if I leave my laptop and it goes into sleep mode. If I wake it back up, it defaults to its normal color profile. If I go into Display Options, and switch the resolution, the adjusted color profile comes back.
Do you guys have any experience with sleep mode on windows XP reseting your color profile?
Is there a way to just replace the windows default color profile with the one that I've created? so, when it resets, it just resets to the "adjusted".. I'm pretty new to all of this so any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks,
NIck

Unfortunately the fix is wait until Microsoft fixes this problem in Vista. Perhaps that fix will also require a software update from calibrator manufacturer too.
Here's a response I got from Colorvision on the Spyder2/Vista issue:
> We are assuming that after the monitor calibration is done the profile does not stick.
> This is a recognized Vista issue. This issue is not caused by the ColorVision application. It is an issue with the Vista OS. This association issue is affecting all color management companies within this arena, not only ColorVision. Our engineers are working with Microsoft to find a solution.

ITunes browser doesn't stick

In most of my playlists and my main Music folder I like to keep the browser visible (both in iTunes and for my iPods).
I recently purchased a new Nano 8GB (4th gen.) and while the playlist browsers stick, the main Music folder's browser keep disappearing, and I have to hit CTRL+B every time I plug it in.
Is there a way to make it stick ?
Thanks!

After trying a billion different things, I finally sucked it up and decided to restore my iPod and that apparently fixed the problem.
As to why it happened, I have a suspicion that it had to do with plugging the iPod in different USB ports (on the same computer, when my old iPod was also connected). I know it doesn't make much sense, but that's the only thing I can think of.

SetArtName - doesn't stick

I know the answer must be simple. Any reason why SetArtName doesn't successfully change the name?
Something must be non-editable or locked but I made sure the parent layer is okay.
Ideas?
Thanks,
Mark

Thanks for you reply.
After I create the art I can change the name manually in the Layer panel but changes that I make in the code don't work.
Here's my code:
error = sAIArt->NewArt( type, kPlaceAboveAll, inParent, &outArt );
if( error != kNoErr )
     return( error );
uname.FromPlatform( "This should stick!" );
error = sAIArt->SetArtName( outArt, uname );
if( error != kNoErr )
     return( error );
// Test
string      tempstr;
ASBoolean   abool;
error = sAIArt->GetArtName( outArt, uname, &abool );
tempstr = uname.as_Platform();
tempstr is "<Path>". Weird, eh?

IOS 5.1 / iPhone 4s - 3G toggle doesn't stick / turns itself back on after reboot.

I wonder if anyone else has experienced this bug on the 4s with iOS 5.1 ?
I have:
Cellula Data > OFF
Enable 3G > OFF
After a device reboot I notice the battery is draining fast and I check in cellular data settings and sure enough 3G has turned itself back on.
I have reported this using Apple Feedback but wanted to see if anyone else has uncovered this bug / can reproduce it. I can reproduce it after each and every reboot.

I can confirm this behaviour is initiated by the network operator and not the phone. If your phone goes off and then comes on it negotiates with the network and the network then chooses to put your phone into 3G mode.
For now it's just a matter of remembering each time you have rebooted or reset your device to immediately go and switch 3G off. It would be nice though if Apple could make the user choice stick but it seems this part is actually out of their control due to the way the networks behave.
Some days when I leave the house I enable cellular data and of course turn 3G off, then I spend the whole day driving around and it stays on Edge the whole day. Other days it doesn't stay on Edge and I notice halfway through the day that 3G has turned itself on again so this is definitely being turned back on by the network operator.
Just another note: If your 3G is turned off but you see your battery is draining fast for no reason, turn 3G On, wait a few seconds and then turn it Off again. I don't know why but somehow even though it shows off it sometimes seems to not actually be properly off.

Adjust Date & Time doesn't stick on export

I have scanned over 2000+ negatives in a Tiff format. I created a temporary iPhoto Library so I could import them in, sort them in albums, and make some edits (crop and straighten). So far so good. I have now for each album adjusted the date and time (I also checked the box for change original file). My next step was to export these albums to folders with the edit pics to the Finder (The reason is to run a photoshop action on all the pics to remove some scan noise and to convert the Tiffs to Jpeg). The once done I was going to import the final pics to my master Library
The problem seams to be that when exporting the pics the changes in dates from within iPhoto are gone. The Finder is showing the scan date not the modified dates....
Any help would be greatly appriciated
Does anyone know a work around to this problem?

Tony:
As Larry pointed out scanned images are not created with the EXIF data fields. Those must use the file created/modified dates.
I found a way that works for me as far as keeping photos organized chronologically and alphanumerically. I rename them, before importing into iPhoto, with the international date and a brief description as follows: [email protected]. I upload to a folder with the title 04/12/09-Easter @ TH and then drag that folder into the open iPhoto window.
This gives me an Event with the title I want and the files with a file name that can be easily searched or sorted chronologically or alphanumerically. A little work upfront saves a lot of headaches later down the line.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

Screen Resolution doesn't fit?

I'm honestly not sure how it happened! I've been using Photoshop and Illustrator and then I noticed that the writing in the top menu bar was blurred and I couldn't see the dock. I went into preferences and looked at the displays part and the resolution is on 1440 x 900, which is the highest and the normal one I believe? The picture is to big for the screen and I'm having to use the mouse at the corners to move around to see the rest of it.
I have no clue how it happened. I just really can't figure out how to get it back?!

You've probably activated Zoom. Command + Option + 8 toggles Zoom on and off. You can also hold the control key and use two fingers on the track pad (swipe toward you) to return the Zoom to normal.

Server directory doesn't stick in sidebar

Tiger allowed me to maintain a specific server directory in the sidebar — even after restarting the Mac it would be there. Now, with Leopard, if I want that server directory to show, I have to put it there EVERY time I start the Mac. Having only the top level of a server appear under “SHARED” it not useful. Nobody in our office uses the top level of the server — everyone uses something 5 or 6 levels deep. Isn’t there a way to make that directory ALWAYS appear like it did with Tiger? Apple support said there is a way to do, but could not officially explain how because it is not supported. They suggested posting the question to this forum. Anyone have a procedure for making a server directory stick in the sidebar? Thanks for any help.

I just did some experimenting and I've come to these conclusions.
Shared Volumes (or the top level shares on a computer) will go into devices, and you have to set them as login items also to get them to mount at startup. Making an alias to them will also work if you don't want to have them connect at login.
Folders within shares will only go into Places. You don't have to make an alias of the folder, though.
I think it has to do with the Mount Point. As the Volumes are Devices in the unix world, they can only show up if mounted. However, the folders are just aliases to network locations so they stay put.
So, if you have multiple volumes that you don't want to automount at login, mount them, put them in the Devices section, and make aliases to them in a folder that you place in the Dock. Then, you can mount them from the dock and they should then appear in the sidebar.
Place any folders in the Places section, or do the same as you do with the Volumes.
