Where did display resolutions go?

I just updated from 10.7.3 to to 10.7.4 on intel 24" iMac. In 10.7.3, I had a choice of 12 different display resolutions. In 10.7.4, I have 2 - neither of which I find acceptable, so I reintalled 10.7.3. Where did my choices go?
And how do I contact Apple directly without having to pay to tell them there is a problem with their update?
I was forced to switch to Lion so I could keep my contacts and calendars synced with all my Apple devices. Frankly, I've been an Apple user all the way back to the IIe. I don't like Lion. I don't like being forced to upgrade - if those items still sync with Windows XP, why can't they in Snow Leopard? I don't like that there is no easy way to contact Apple support about this. I don't like the snooty and less than helpful personel at my local Apple Store. Makes me wonder why I'm still an Apple user.

How do I force a certain display resolution?

I've had this nagging issue with my Mac Mini both under Tiger and now Leopard where the display resolution is not quite right. I have it connected to a lower end Polaroid FLM-2601 LCD TV and use it function in my entertainment center as a home theater computer.
Now the problem is that the panel supports 1280x768@75Hz via VGA and 1360x768@75Hz via DVI. Now I can attach a monitor and get the resolution I am looking for via either VGA or DVI. Then I unplug the monitor and connect it to the TV and it works just fine at the supported resolutions. However, as soon as the Mac Mini sleeps or restarts it goes to odd resolutions or 74Hz and no picture is displayed. I tried this with an old PowerMac G4 and it just works right. The video chipset or driver in the Mac Mini seems to be the issue with this TV.
Is there some way to override Mac OS X and force a display resolution? Otherwise I end up with a very notchy experience.

I've had some luck with DisplayConfigX - google it. I've only ever used it under Tiger, though, not Leopard. Using it to drive a Vizio plasma screen at a resolution not typically shown under the Monitors control panel in Tiger.

New Mac Pro/Yosemite lost display resolutions that were in Mavericks

After a 9 hour migration process from my old Mac Pro, late 2007 2.8Ghz Dual Quad core, to a new Mac Pro 3.5Ghz 6-Core, I have had issues with the display resolution I used on my old Mac Pro. They don't show up in the list of available resolutions, and now everything on my Dell 30" display is HUGE! How can I get the resolution settings back to where the old Mac Pro was?

In the System Preferences "Display" pane - do you have "Best for display" or "Scaled" selected for the problematic 30" Dell display. Based on your comments I'm guessing it's the "Scaled" option which should show you the list of all resolutions that it knows your graphics board can do. So what graphics board do you have in the new and old Mac Pro? It's listed in the "System Information" app (click on the Apple in the menu bar at the top of the screen, then hold down the Option key and then click on "System Information". The graphics board is listed in the "Graphics/Displays" option about half way down the list of Hardware items on the left of the page. Did you migrate the old graphics board in the older Mac Pro over to the new one or does the new Mac Pro have it's own? What exactly is the list of resolutions that are shown for your new Mac Pro with the Dell 30"?
Also I'm a little confused - on which system is the Dell 30" on now - the old Mac Pro or the new one? Which resolution setting did the Dell on the old Mac Pro used to be set at and what is it now on the new Mac Pro?

How do I print a mirror image? Where did the old functionality go?

Within the last several months I was able to print a mirror image of my document to my HP DeskJet F4180 in high resolution. I don't know if it is the new HP drivers, or my new Snow Leopard OS but now I can' figure out how to do it again. I can grab a screen shot in and flip it in Preview but it ends up printing in low resolution.
I have printed mirror images in the past from my PDF applciations and I think from Office 2008 (PowerPoint). I find no documents saved on my hard drive that come up saved as a reverse image so I suspect that I was using a printer feature not an application feature to print mirror images.
Where did this functionality go?

Found it!
Use the check box marked Flip Image. Didn't is say mirror before?

External Display resolution problem after resetting PRAM

Gello, I've got Fujitsu-Siemens P19-2 monitor hooked up to my MbookPro and after resetting PRAM the correct display resolution disappeared from the "Displays" menu in System PReferences.
So did the refresh rate option...
What do I do?
I really need to change the refresh rate and the resolution, but the refresh rate button is grey and unclickable, and the resolution simply isn't there (I need 1280x1024).
REsetting PRAM and SMC didn't help.

After a couple of resets everything went back to normal

Cannot set display resolution after upgrading to Mavericks

I have early Mac Mini connected to KVM stitch. Over the weekend I upgraded to Mavericks and it "dowgraded" display resolution from 1920x1200 to 1600x1200 and everythign looks streached. 1920x1200 no longer shows on the list in display properties (1920x1440 shows but it does not look good on my screen). I googled Option key trick and hitting "Scaled" while hold Option key does show some additional resolutions, but not the one I used to have.
Connecting Mac directly to the monitor allowed me to set proper resolution and after removing monitor and pluging mac back into KVM things "held" untill Mac goes to sleep or until reboots.
I am aware that my KVM switch does not communicate EDID but things did work just fine before upgrade to Mavericks.

Hello curtdav,
It sounds like you are getting a graphical anomoly when unplugging an external monitor. I recommend these troubleshooting steps from the article named:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Windows 7 display resolution problem on iMac 27"

Hi, I have an iMac 27" that is running bootcamp with Windows 7. The resolution on the OS X is fine, but on the Windows 7 side, it is messed up. The display resolution choices make the screen look all stretched and weird; I cannot select the same resolution as I have on the OSX side. The display drivers say that they are generic, so I tried installing manufactuer's drivers. That did not work since they couldn't detect the correct monitor. I've run software update on he Mac OSX side, but to no avail. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

updates for osx will not affect windows
in osx one can make a packet with all drivers required for bootcamp windows do that
and if you need drivers for windows download the mobile version what amd/ati and nvidia call desktop videocards
are not the type used in imacs they use the laptop versions

Cannot change display resolution when connected to external display

On my 2.0GHz 13" MacBook, I have no problem with the display resolution when connecting to external display/projector when I am running in Mac OS, everything work perfectly! But things start to get messy when I am running in Windows VISTA 32 (installed within the Boot Camp 2.1). Whenever I connect to any external display/projector via a MiniDisplay-to-VGA cable, the resolutions on both my MacBook LCD and external display/projector drop to 640x480. And i am not able increase the resolution in the Display Settings. Does this mean that I have not installed the latest version of display drivers? Or is it that Apple did not provide the VISTA 32 drivers (in Boot Camp 2.1) that is compatible with the Mini Display port.

Cool!
I'm glad you have it fixed.

Display Resolution with Beige G3

Hello,
I am running a G3 Beige with an OWC G4 500 MHz OWC upgrade processor. The machine is running Mac OS 10.4.8 well.
I love to have more choice in the display resolution. A few days ago, I accidentally touched a couple of things, and was able to change the resolution to a higher one. However, when i reboot the machine later, the magic disappeared. I cannot recall what I did to increae the choice of display resolution.
Can you tell me what I can do to change the resolution from 832X624?

You want separate Syncs.
The CRT is supplied with data for its Red, Green, and Blue Electron guns on pairs of wires (or coaxial wires) reserved for them. The CRT sweeps the electron beams across the face of the display and "lights up" one row of dots, then steps down one row, returns to the left side, and gets ready for the next row.
There is no row buffer in the CRT, it displays the Red Green and Blue data "live", 60 or more times a second. The data for each row is supplied at the right instant to display it properly across the row. In order to position the beam properly to display the correct row data, the CRT must know when rows and screens start and end.
Horizontal Sync - tells when a row should start and end. The beams are "blanked" during Horizontal Retrace time.
Vertical Sync - tells when the entire screen should start and end, and the beam should be brought back up to the top. The beams are blanked during the manyrow_timeslong Vertical Retrace time.
Some cheaper monitors combined the Horizontal and Vertical Sync together electrically and provided the combined signal as "Composite Sync". The CRT was responsible for pulling the separate signals out of the composite.
The other trick that saved one more pin in the cable was to combine the Composite Sync information onto the Green data signal. The CRT had to dig out both Horizontal and Vertical Sync from the Green data line. This had a tendency to make the Green data less crisp.
Macs have always provided separate Syncs. Except, perhaps, for the very first Mac-II displays, genuine Apple Mac displays have accepted only Separate Syncs.

Display resolution is different left and right sides

Hi, my HP G42 laptop now has a different display resolution on the left and right sides. The left half seems to have less resolution than the right side, the right side looks like it's in HD, the left side looks washed out. I'm not sure if it is a hardware issue or a setting/software issue. The first time it appeared was after a windows 7 update was completed and installed, I'm not sure if that was just a coincidence. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. It works but is very annoying to look at.
Thank you,
Ray

Hi Ray_M,
Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that you are having a problem with two different resolutions on each half of your screen. The easiest way to determine where the problem lies is to connect it to an external monitor. If the image is normal then we know it is an issue with the display screen but if the issue occurs on the external monitor then we know it is a problem with the drivers or the video card itself.
What is the product number for your g42? There are a number of different models in that series.

Where did I loose my movie

I have made a movie at length 31 min. The size is 1.19 GB, but when I copy it in explorer from iPhone folder to PC folder the size left is 0KB. Where did 1.19 GB go? What happens? The file is stored as a .MOV, but empty and not playable. Frustrated!

As far as I can read 'Awesome app' just zips the files.
iPhone Explorer just copies files, it does not compress or re-encode files.
Are you saying that the video was HD, but was made smaller when exported?
The more I think about this the more I think it is your computer.
If the video plays fine on the iPhone, then it should transfer off fine and at the same resolution it was created at.
So my guess is that your computer is messing up the files.
Once you've tried to get the videos off on another computer tell me how it goes.
I really recommend wifi photo transfer:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wifi-photo-transfer/id380326191?mt=8
This creates a webserver out of your iPhone, and any one on the same wifi network can access the photos and video.
This app can export and preview smaller photos, but will transfer the full resolution videos.
If you shot in 720P HD, then edited in iMovie, then exported full size, you will have a 720P video at the end.

Page Display Resolution

Windows 7. Illustrator CS5. Acroabt Pro X
An artist created a document in Illustrator which has embedded screenshots. Screenshots are 72 ppi and not scaled.
He sent me the AI file and I saved it from Illustrator as a PDF and then viewed in Acrobat.
At 100% zoom, the page shows larger in PDF than in Illustrator. Making the screenshots look rather blurry.
After some exploring I found a setting for Page Display Resolution. It was set to custom (I cant remember the ppi, but perhaps 110?). My other choice was system setting (96 ppi). That was too be as well. So I changed it to 72 and now its fine.
So I kinda understand where they are going with it. However, this is a Program setting, right? Not a document setting. Is there any way to set something like this so that anyone who gets this PDF will see the images at the right resolution at 100% zoom?
Maybe there is something else going on here that I dont get...
Thanks
kaz

You should be able to set that in the creation process. There is a display resolution in the Adobe PDF printer properties under the Advanced button. The default is 1200 dpi.
