Why can't monitor doesn't match computer resolution?

I have an old macbook pro 17" with max resolution 1680x1050.  When I plug in my view sonic Led monitor they don't match.  The monitor says 1920x1080.  The screen seems a bit blurry and hard to read. I tried the smaller monitor size (1600x1200) it stretches the screen.  Why don't they match?  And do I need a different type of monitor?
(see attached image of sizing- the "color LCD" is the macbook.)
Thanks a million.  I get the best answers to my mac problems on this forum.

Yes, it should work. 1920x1200 is the resolution of Apple's 24-inch Cinema Display. The new one connects directly using the Mini DisplayPort, but the previous 23-inch version was connected by DVI and it was 1920x1200 native resolution. I have heard no one else reporting here that any DVI display with 1920x1200 native resolution does not work properly on the Mini DisplayPort (using a DVI adapter).

    I bought in 14 january 2014 and the expiration said it will be in 5 september 2014
    Is it mean that my ipad had been activated in 5 sept las year?
    But the packaging is good and it looks like very new.
    Please help me....
    I bought in IT plaza in kuala lumpur, malaysia..

    The merchant told me it is new. And when they opened the box and turn the ipad on, the ipad asked me to activate first.
    Is the 'restore to factory setting' can make us must activate the ipad again??

  • I have a new macbook pro and an LG w2361v monitor.  The max resolution the mac is allowing me to set is 1400x1050, why can't I get to the max resolution the monitor can accept (1900x1080)

    I have a new macbook pro and an LG w2361v monitor.  The max resolution the mac is allowing me to set is 1400x1050, why can't I get to the max resolution the monitor can accept (1900x1080)?  I know that the monitor is able to accept this resolution but It can't seem to find it.  Is it something to do with the new thunderbolt port? or the fact that I'm utilizing the VGA adaptor?  I could go HDMI if that works better.

    Use DVI or HDMI.
    VGA runs out of steam after a while.

  • Why can't I render to match sequence ?

    Hi there,
    I have quite an irritating problem.
    I brought in an effects I did in AE which is in 1920 x 1080.
    Then in Pre Pro, I also set the sequence as 1920 x 1080.
    When I render, I did Export > Media. I chose "match sequence settings" but the output is always in mpeg format which I cannot change (it is the only format availabe).
    So since I need to render in mov, I cannot use "match sequence settings", I select Quicktime. For the Preset, there is only NTSC & PAL DV widescreen. How come there is no option for HDV ?
    As it turn out, when i click export, the output is in 720 x 756.
    How to I get Premiere Pro to render in 1920 x 1080 ?
    Please help me, I am desperate !!
    Thanks
    Cheers

    Well, as I recall, AIC is limited to 1440x1080, using non-square pixels. I'm surprised that Premiere doesn't automatically reset the height and width values, but maybe that's only for non-QuickTime formats and codecs, as it uses its own export module. You will probably have to manually set those dimensions (1440x1080) and PAR (1.333) if you want to export using this codec.
    That said, why do you want to use this codec? It's an intermediate codec (and not a very good one, at that), not a destination codec. What do you want to do with your file?
    EDIT: Just checked on my Windows machine, and with QuickTime as the Format, dimensions do change depending on the codec selected. DV and DVCPROHD, for example, are locked, but other codecs can be changed to suit the source and destination. If you choose AIC as the codec, and the dimensions appear locked, please post a screenshot...
    Thanks Colin & Bill,
    I didn't realize below the Codec chosen there is a vertical slider to surf down & change the dimension. The default for vertical & horizontal was 720 and 576, so I changed them to 1920 and 1080 and it worked. Not sure why the default was 720 & 576 but oh well ....
    Colin, I select AIC simply because it says Apple Intermediate Codec ... I thought because I was using an Apple computer so I select it. Okay, what would be a good codec then ? I wanted it to be able to watch on a computer in HD.
    Thanks

  • Why can't I renew iTunes Match with store credit?

    Is Apple serious? I need a credit card to renew my iTunes Match service, even though I have over $200 worth of store credit sitting in my account?
    I don't have a credit card, I don't want one. I don't understand why I can't use my store credit to renew my iTunes Match subscription.

    As it's a subscription model and not a one-time charge, having a credit card on file is required, but it will only actually be charged if there isn't enough iTunes Store credit to pay for the renewal.

  • Why can't I find any matches ?

    My first query select PONumber and itemNO from table1 based
    on the document number entered in the form.
    <cfquery name="qryName1" datasource="dbName">
    select
    PONumber,
    rtrim(itemNo) as itemNo
    from table1
    where documentNo = '#form.documentNumber#'
    </cfquery>
    I then take the two fields retrived and match it against this
    table, to get the pGR and netPrice.
    <cfquery name="qryName2" datasource="dbName">
    select pGr, netPrice
    from OpenPO
    where
    (purchDoc = '#qryName1.PONumber#' and Item =
    '#TRIM(qryName1.itemNo)#')
    </cfquery>
    What is happending is that the PONumber matches but the
    itemNo does not match. That is why I rtrim in the sql in the first
    query and trim in the where clause in this query but it still does
    not find a match. Both items are defiend as nvarchar 5 in the sql
    tables. I even used cfoutput to show the len and it is 5, so there
    are no blank spaces, yet it still will not find a match, and I know
    there are matches.
    Any anybody tell me what is wrong and/or what to look for
    ?

    NYG,
    Can you pull out the raw data from the OpenPO table on the
    Item col for the record you want? Perhaps by altering query2:
    <cfquery name="qryName2" datasource="dbName">
    select pGr, netPrice, Item
    from OpenPO
    where purchDoc = '#qryName1.PONumber#'
    </cfquery>
    I realize this might bring back several records but it could
    be helpful to see what the DB has versus what you're comparing.
    In addition, what happens if you adjust the query2 where
    clause to use a like for the itemNo)?
    where (purchDoc = '#qryName1.PONumber#' and Item like
    '%#TRIM(qryName1.itemNo)#')
    Also, more out of curiosity, does anything change if you
    alter query1 to change the name of the alias for ItemNo:
    <cfquery name="qryName1" datasource="dbName">
    select
    PONumber,
    rtrim(itemNo) as itemNum
    from table1
    where documentNo = '#form.documentNumber#'
    </cfquery>
    More curious than anything on that last one!

  • Why can't you deauthorize just one computer?

    Why is the only choice in the store to deauthorize ALL computers with an appleid/iTunes store account?  My husband took my old mac book pro and removed all my info on it, but did not deauthorize the iTunes account first.  Now, my phone won't sync with my new computer because we're up to our limit on devices with that iTunes account (try having one account since day 1 of iTunes, and now multiple computers and devices.
    Isn't there some way to tell iTunes to stop associating that mac book pro with my phone (which is what it seems to be doing)?
    And word to the wise -- do not let anyone use an old computer until you've deauthorized it.  Once they start ripping out your data to put theirs in you really are totally (******) if they do it wrong.

    The only thing that makes me nervous about that is this -- we had an iTunes account forever, and when the Cloud went live, they made us change the login and update our account information.  Our original login id still syncs anything associated with it for updates (apps), even though we now use the new id for purchases.  It's rather beautiful that it works like that -- asking for one login to update apps prior to the Cloud, seeming to know that it goes with those ... however, I shudder to think if we tried to reauthorize to that original id if the iTunes store would recognize it as a valid id, which could jeopardize all the original music and app purchases (years and years and years of legally purchased content).
    We're going to have to try something else.

  • Apple TV image doesn't match computer screen

    We have a new Apple TV and are able to navigate using the TV screen to access content, but our MacBook Pro which is "synced" to the Apple TV displays different content and seems to operate independently. Any ideas on how to have the TV display and laptop monitor match?

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
    Your MBP and the tv are different devices and work independently of each other, the display attached to the tv is not supposed to mirror your MBP display.

  • Why can't I use a match-moved shape as a mask?

    Hey guys,
    Similar to the subject line, I'm trying to get a rectangle I've four-corner pinned to an underlying baked Quicktime movie in my sequence "punch" through that Quicktime movie in order to show work underneath. When I drag the match-moved rectangle to the movie's Image Mask trough, nothing happens.. checking its properties, there's nothing in the movie's trough at all, as though it's some kind of illegal-type operation. I'd appreciate any ideas.

    I figured it out, but in case somebody comes up to a similar difficulty, I had neglected to have the match-moved object (in this case, a rectangle) as part of a 2D group.. apparently it doesn't work in a 3D group. Thanks anyways.

  • Why can't I see iTunes Match?

    Hi,
    I have installed latest updates on Macbook and iPad, but can't see iTunes Match icon anywhere.
    Are there any territorial restrictions (I'm living in Europe) or what? I checked some tips and when it shall appear, I don't have it.
    Thanks for help,
    Michal

    iTunes Match is only available in the U.S. for now. Apple is most likely still working on negotiating contracts with the relevant rights holders for other parts of the world.

  • Why can I not access iTunes Match on my MacBook Pro?

    I want to subscribe to iTunes Match, but when I click on the 'Match' tab in iTunes 11.1 it just shows 'iTunes Match' and none of the descriptive text I have seen previously.  I have seen this as much as two days ago, and now it's not there.  It seems like all links are broken as when I click 'Subscribe' from the web it does nothing and clicking 'Turn On iTumes Match' frm the iTunes menu does nothing.
    I've tried restarting with no success.  I am on a 2011 MacBook Pro, running OSX 10.8.5.

    Try tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your iPad and log out of your account and then log back in and see if the store's pages then show. If if doesn't then you could try closing the iTunes store app via the iPad's multitasking bar and see if it works when you re-open it, and/or try a soft-reset.

  • HT201302 Why can't subscribe to iTunes Match ?

    Not enough memory to update to ios7 so bought extra storage on the cloud to transfer my music &amp; free up some space. When I click on "iTunes match" to transfer it, the screen won't display properly (looks like a word doc from 1976)! I've repeatedly clicked on subscribe but nothing happens

    You can, but since iTunes Match is a subscription service you must also have a permanent form of payment associated with your account. A credit card is required.

  • Why can't apple tv find my computer but it recognizes my wireless internet

    I recently purchased Apple TV. Obiously it is not working properly.  I am at school using their Open Wireless network, not the network requiring user name and password.  Apple TV connects to Open Wireless and when I hit the "computers" app, it says searching for my library, but then it says cannot connect.  It can see my photo stream fine, lets me access Netflix too, but it's basically pointless because I cannot mirror on any device as when I click my Apple TV to Air Play from my iPad or Mac Air, it recognizes it then cannot connect.  Hearing from a friend try using an Ethernet cord to encourage faster speeds, I did that and now when I choose the "computers" app, it says I have to turn home sharing on my iTunes, but I am home sharing.  This is EXTREMELY ANNOYING I have not been able to figure it out for 3 days! Someone please help me out here or else I am going to return this soon as it is not worth this aggrivation.

    Apologies as it was an emotional rant.  Yes I have turned on sharing and sharing on my local network. I did call them and they said that the "open wireless" WiFi option (which is just free internet that non-students can access for free without having to login using username and password) probably blocks the sharing of devices to the Apple TV.
    Basically, all of my devices have my Apple Tv as an option to connect to, but when I choose it, they are unable to connect.  Also, on the homepage of Apple Tv where it says "computers", I click that and when it tries to access my library, it says unable to connect.
    I appreciate you trying to help me and I may just have to setup another call with Apple and try to fix this problem.
