Why in Displays does it not show my resolution options in Display Settings

I have a Panasonic 42" Viera flatscreen. I usually hook up my Mac Pro to it, the screen changes a bit and resizes things in weird ways, and sometimes my background switches to a new background for whatever reason.... Now, I appear to be stuck like this, I can't even change the resolution of my display anymore... there's just NO option to do so in Display Settings... at all. I'm not sure why, I created a new account, but it's frozen like that on the new account too, I can't switch back, and now when I re-plug my HDMI cord into the computer, it just registers absolutely nothing at all... and it doesn't connect to the TV.
What the **** is wrong with my BRAND NEW, came in the mail a week ago MacBook Pro? lol.
Thank you.

Hello OOCCULTRecords,
First I'd recommend resetting your Mac's PRAM if you haven't done so already.

  • Put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

    put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

    i just purchased a file that had videos in it. i put them in the itunes library on my pc where i first downloaded them. i was able to transfer them to my other pc, a laptop, through my home network. i am now trying to get them on my mac pro desktop and my ipad2. my mac pro can see the other computers on my home network but i cannot get it to connect to them. i know the operating systems are different but was hoping i could transfer pictures and files from pc to mac this way. haven't been able to get it to work yet. the videos i am trying to get my mac to see came in a folder with both mac and pc versions. i thought if i got the videos i purchased into itunes that i would then be able to get them to my mac pro and my ipad2. i am new to mac/apple and have always been pc-centric so trying to marry it all has been difficult. i speak pc pretty well but am just learning apple. am i trying to do things that are not possible? i sure could use a knowledgable friendly soul to walk me through my issues of having pc and mac on the same network. i have been able to get all computers and ipad to print on my network. thanks.

  • Why is my site Title not showing in Firefox?

    Hello
    On my site at http://fbibiz.com/, the page Title flashes briefly in the Title bar, but then reverts to 'Mozilla Firefox'. The title tag is in place (correctly as far as I can see).
    Any suggestions, please, as to why my page Title is not showing correctly?
    Thanks,

Yet another example of Mac caring not a jot about the performance of versions of OS and software running on on older hardware. Anyone got a fix by any chance? Oh and fyi I need to see the Bcc in sent items to confirm sent email is attaching to Salesforece - when I see the Bcc I know I can delete it as a copy will be in SForce. Big thanks W.

    why date and time do not show as links in some email message in 4s?

    To add it back, tap the Edit button at the top of the list of mailboxes and select the missing email account so that it has a tick against it (you can also change their order in the list by dragging the parallel line icon to an account's right), tapping Done should then get it to show in the list

  • Why is my iPhone 4S not showing my caller Id info while I'm a call

    Why is my iPhone 4S not showing my caller Id info while I'm a call?

    As in the manual page 49:
    Call forwarding, call waiting, and caller ID
    The following information applies only to GSM networks. For CDMA networks, contact your carrier for information about enabling and using these features. See support.apple.com/kb/HT4515.
    Turn call forwarding on or off: Go to Settings > Phone > Call Forwarding. The Call Forwarding icon ( ) appears in the status bar when call forwarding is on. You must be in range of the cellular network when you set iPhone to forward calls, or calls won’t be forwarded. FaceTime calls are
    not forwarded.
    Turn call waiting on or off: Go to Settings > Phone > Call Waiting. If you’re on a call and call waiting is turned off, incoming calls go directly to voicemail.
    Turn caller ID on or off: Go to Settings > Phone > Show My Caller ID.
