What is the Proper Screen Resolution For a 17" MacBook Pro?

Playing around with display in system preferences I have somehow reset / changed the screen display / resolution.
To what should I set the display?
Thanks

Many thanks!
I'm using a friend's computer with which I'm not 100% comfortable. How I got into this trouble was trying to set output to a projector.
Now I have two screens in my system preferences -- one "VGA Display" and the other "Color LCD." The highest setting on the LCD is 1680 x 1050. On the VGA the list goes up to 2304 X 1728. And on the VGA the options include various Hz rates -- 60, 75, 85, 90
I know I'm close. Help me over this last bump!
Thanks

What is the proper screen resolution for my MBA?

Is the default settings on my 2012 MBA the best setting for the screen on the computer?

Since the native resolution of the built-in screen is 1440 x 900, this setting will yeild the best sharpness, as no resizing or interpolation of pixels is needed.

What is the best 500GB HDD for a 2007 macbook pro

what is the best 500GB HDD for a 2007 macbook pro. This is a pre unibody machine.
I am upgrading at the minute and can't make my mind up. I need a 7200rpm drive, but have heard some stories concerning overheating etc.
These are the drives I am looking at: Seagate Momentus, Hitachi Travelstar and Western Digital all 500GB, running at 7200rpm.

If you haven't already, you might look a the user comments at http://www.newegg.com on those hard drives. If you don't get other comments here, you might post in the MBP discussion (this is the iMac discussion) at https://discussions.apple.com/community/notebooks/macbook_pro

What is the best protective case for 2011 13" Macbook Pro

What is the best protective case for 2011 13" Macbook Pro (that can withstand an active 4 year old :). My 4 year old plays with the teaching apps on my iPhone 4 in the otterbox case and its great - the bulkiness of the otterbox not an issue and I love being able to give the phone to him and feel completely comforatable. I would love to find something to protect my Macbook Pror. Thanks for any help!!

I would definitely go for a Hardsheel or a Perforated Hardshell Case

What's the maximum internal space for Mid 2010 MacBook Pro

Ok guys I'm about to upgrade my internal drive on my MacBook Pro and would like to know what is the maximum space to put in. I'm also gong to replace optibay a 128GB SSD. Is any 1TB 2.5" good?

I suggest that you install the SSD in the same place as your current HDD. Install the 1 TB drive in the DVD drive location.
I have HGST 1 TB drives, both 5400 rpm and 7200 rpm. Both work satisfactorily.
Ciao.
I also have the HGST 1.5 TB HDDs but they are only available in 5400 rpm versions.

What Is The Proper J2EE Architect For This National Defense Project?

A brief description of a national defense project I am looking into is that the system being developed is supposed to verify the "smartcard" of the card holder and his/her fingerprints against the Defense Department database. The system also reads in information about people (facial features, height, weight, etc.) and stores the information in the database, and then issues new "smartcard".
1. People involved in the project already decided to use swing for the client tier.
2. The problem is the Defense Department database. It is a flat file database and this database cannot be touched. It is a black box for Java developers. The Defense Department may provide a jar as an outer layer of this database.
Question 1: Is the web tier essential for this defense project?
Question 2: What is the proper J2EE architect for this project?
Question 3: How to deal with the data problem? Especially it looks that entity beans are not applicable.
Question 4: How does the system handle very heavy load? It is possible that tens of thousands of people will use the system at the same time.

What is the proper way to back up Final Cut Pro x

What is the proper way to back up Final Cut Pro x?
Final Cut Pro X & Motion 5 are the only two programs I do not have a hard copy for.
Click and dragging the files from the applications folder to an external harddrive seems to simple to be correct.
Are their additional folders or actions that are required to back up these software?
I'm having problems and was instructed to back up all files ASAP before taking my iMac (mid 2010) to the Apple store for treatment.
Please help!

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Most apps from the Mac App Store are simple drag & drop installation. DId FCPX or M5 just download to your Mac or was there an installer app involved? If they just donwloaded, then dragging them to backup media should be enough. If there was an installer, then you should backup the installer. But these apps aren't going to disappear from the Mac App Store in the short time that your Mac is in a repair shop. You can also download them again fromthe Purchased pane after you have signed into your account.

What is the best way to back up my MacBook Pro (OSX 10.9.5) before taking it in for service?

While I have nothing against Time Machine (and I do use it on some of my systems), I always make a bootable clone before taking a Mac in for service (2 actually), and I verify that clone boots before I let the Mac leave.
SuperDuper is free for a full clone (you only pay for incremental features).

What is the best Apple notebook for video editing and pro music creation?

What is the best Apple notebook for video editing and pro music creation?
I know I could opt for the most expensive and probably get what I want that way, but I´m not made of money, so what are your suggestions for minimum criteria and which would you recommend?

MacBooks Pro are great Macs with a good hardware, so all of them will work for the use you want, but I think that you want the biggest display possible because of your uses. In this case, it has to be a 15-inch non-Retina MacBook Pro, with the settings you want. Note that, after buying the Mac, you can upgrade the HDD and memory without voiding the warranty, so you are free to install as much memory and the HDD size you want after buying it. It's my opinion, but you are free to do whatever you think it's better

What is the best DVD Creator for a Mac Book Pro to replace iDVD?

What is the Best DVD Creator for a Mac Book Pro to replace iDVD? Have Maverick OS.

I have already looked at other threads in this forum, so 'I venture forth' to ask my question here:
I have a 44 minute carefully edited iMovie with several chapter markers. I dimly recollect that when you 'dump' the entire movie into iDVD (my version is 7.1) it should detect the markers and create buttons to link to specific scenes. Well, the 'dumping' process obviously doesn't work.
How do you get iDVD to recognize the markers and ceate buttons to link?
I can create with iDVD a DVD that will play the movie in its entirety. This is not suitable for my purposes. I need access via a menu to specific scenes.
Thank you,
Klaus

Getting the black screen on my 6mth old macbook pro. Reboot and nothing happens.

Getting the black screen on my 6mth old macbook pro. Reboot and nothing happens. It sometimes rebbots by holding down on/ off key. But will go black screen and die a few minutes later. Any help much appreciated.

If you experience distorted video or no video . . . take your affected product to an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple Retail Store to determine which service and support options are available. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail store, make a reservation at the Genius Bar using http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
No, it has not cost anything in the past.
Note: as of Dec 7th 2012, it is unlikely products qualify for this extended repair coverage.
That does not mean it's an automatic "no."

What is the best way to transfer iPhoto from MacBook Pro to iMac?

What is the best way to transfer iPhoto from MacBook Pro to iMac?

the only way is Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

Proper screen resolution for optimum work with SD

A couple of questions.
I've just set up a 27" IMAC with FC. What's surprised me is the poor quality of the SD image I'm getting in the Viewer and Canvas. Two years ago I edited another SD project on a system using two 24" Apple monitors, and at that time we were all amazed by the quality of the image. Hardly looked like SD at all. We were even impressed when we looked at the work on the full screen. Yet that's not what I'm getting now.
I'm just wondering if there as been a change in the most recent version of FC. (Mine is FCP 7;I don't know what version I was using two years ago on that other project.) I looked in the manual and under "Viewer/Pop-Up Menu" I read: "+If the Viewer is scaled to anything other than 100 percent and you're displaying a DV clip, only one field is shown during playback or while scrubbing through the clip+." Has this always been the case with DV, which my SD footage is? Could my problem only be a problem with this latest version of FC?
As it is, set optimally on the 27" with a second monitor for the Browser, my Viewer and Canvas are producing a 199% size image. So given that, plus the fact that I'm only seeing one field, maybe I shouldn't be surprised at the weak image I'm getting.
Second question.
After reading about this loss of one field when the DV image is other than 100% I thought I'd set the Viewer pop-up menu to 100% rather than "Fit Window". Problem here, of course is that my image is now very small - a diagonal of only 7 inches. To try and deal with this I've played around with the IMAC screen resolution and when I change it from 2560x1440 to 1920X1080 I can get a 100% two field image with a 9 1/2 inch diagonal. Not great but better.
Does anyone think this is a recommended way to go? I'm always confused about how a monitor is reproducing a format that is 525 TV lines so the issue of the optimal resolution on my screen is confusing me. (I tried setting the screen to 1600X900. Now my 100% image is 11 1/2 inches but there is a very noticeable drop in image quality.)
Thanks for any help or advice I can receive.
John

Has this always been the case with DV, which my SD footage is?
Yes. Perhaps you old system had the Viewer and Canvas windows set to 100% and your new one doesn't.
Could my problem only be a problem with this latest version of FC?
Not likely.
As it is, set optimally on the 27" with a second monitor for the Browser, my Viewer and Canvas are producing a 199% size image. So given that, plus the fact that I'm only seeing one field, maybe I shouldn't be surprised at the weak image I'm getting.
BINGO!
For best results, always use a properly calibrated, external TV monitor for critical viewing when editing.
