Why is the resolution of my Lion login screen so low?

I just turned on my MacBook Air, and I found that the login screen was enlarged, in which it seemed to me that the resolution of the login screen was very low. But after logging in, the resolution went back to normal. How can I fix this?

So the pictures hardly show a difference, but both my friend and I agree that there is a clear differene the picture quality of my laptop and the monitor.
Also, the photos are too large to be uploaded here.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. 73's

    Hi, no idea how to cure it, but have noticed that it sometimes corrects itself, or after doing I don't know what... perhaps toggling the Display res a few ties until it "feels" safe about a certain rez???

  • Adjusting (ok... fiddling) the new Lion login screen

    Is it possible to edit the new Lion Login screen beyond replacing the picture (/System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/Versions/C/Resources/NSTexturedFul lScreenBackgroundColor.png)?  Specifically, can you change the contrast/brightness of the background picture and more importantly add the hostname/machine name as we had with the original login screen (handy when setting up computer labs).  Does the machine administrator have access to an hidden program to handle this?

    I guess I'll try turning off Vault
    as per this thread its supposed to fix it.

  • Adobe InDesign CS2 -  Why does the resolution change when I import a PDF file to InDesgin

    When I import a PDF file to InDesgin the resolution from the PDF changes.
    Any ideas?

    InDesign uses a low resolution thumbnail (might be the wrong way to descirbe, but easiest to visualise) to represent images/files placed into indesign. As InDesign is a page layout program it enhances the speed of the application as it doesn't have to draw the images in full detail, but rather just represent them in their size and position in the layout.
    There are 3 viewing settings, available through the View> Display Performance (for the whole document) or Object>Display performance (on an object by object basis).
    The resolution of the image from that point on relies on whether it was Vector or Raster, or in PDF and EPS cases, vector and raster. As already mentioned Vectors and PDFs don't contain a resolution. Vectors are mathematical equations that require the device outputting the image to draw them to the best of their abiltiy.
    PDFs are a wrapper for a file, it can wrap text, vectors and raster for output.
    But all the same, InDesign uses lo-res thumbnails to represent the PDF/Image/Object until ready to output. But you need to adjust the Display Performance.

  • Why is the resolution  stuck in the Camera Raw workflow dialogue box?

    I cannot adjust the resolution in the workflow space in Camera Raw. It goes from 70 backwards to 1. The same situation exists in Image Size when I switch to Photoshop. Help!

    Think I figured it out. I needed to open a copy of the image as the original had been saved at 72 . When I "saved as" I could change everything in Photoshop.
    Thanks,

  • Why do I no longer see the AOL option on iTunes login screen?

    I no longer see the AOL sign in option on iTunes login screen even though I have an active AOL account. If no longer available can I redeem the credit from my AOL iTunes account?

    No they were different accounts, AOL account had $$ credit. I think maybe the difference was the AOL account used my full email address while the apple account dropped the @aol.com. I have tried what you suggested but recieve this "apple ID has not been used with iTunes"

  • MBP Retina Filevault login screen is low resolution all of sudden

    Hey guys, so I did the few software updates today to get ready for Mountain Lion and I started to notice that all of a sudden now my filevault enabled login screen (the one that's all grey and you see before even booting up the operating system) is in low resolution! Since i've had my MBPr it's always been in glorious retina resolution, and now it's all low res.
    Anybody else encountered this problem or know of any fix? I'd appreciate it!
    Best,
    Oliver

    I've got the same problem on mine after changing the resolution several times. I've just applied 10.8.2 but still have the same issue.
    Havent found anybody else seeing the same thing apart from here. I'm going to try de-crypting the Mac and encrypting again to see if that fixes it. There must be some way to change it though.

  • USB devices cause a crash at Lion login screen

    Since I have installed MacOS X Lion I am experiencing regular crashes at the login screen at startup.
    These crashes occur virtually always when
    + a USB device that was connected at the previous shutdown is missing at next launch
    + a USB device that was not connected at previous shutdown is connected at next launch
    The type of the device does not make a difference.
    I have had this with USB sticks, but also with my Wacom graphics tablet and a regular USB hard disk (connected via two USB ports).
    This is extremely annoying and I had hoped this would be fixed with the latest Lion upgrade, but it is not.
    Anyone out there has an idea for an easy fix?

    Guys -
    am I really the only person who sees this?
    This is a serious issue and I also see it happening upon connecting certain USB devices (e.g. today a Garmin nüvi 1250) while running Lion. Non of the OS updates since I posted this helped.
    I feel like I am running Windows here...

  • Lion login screen problems on Mid 2009 MacBook Pro

    After upgrading my wife's Mid 2009 MacBook Pro from Snow Leopard to Lion we are seeing weird behavior on the login screen after the computer wakes from sleep mode.
    The screen is only partially drawn (usually the top left 1/4 of the screen), and the grey background is shown instead of her desktop background picture. When you move the mouse around on the screen, it repaints blocks on the screen where the pointer has been.
    This only seems to happen when the machine sleeps for a long period of time, e.g., overnight. When it just sleeps for a little while we don't see the issue.
    When searching the forums for anyone else with the problem, several folks said that there was an issue with the video drivers for the 9400M card and recommended switching to the 9600M GT, but her machine only has the 9400M in it.
    All other aspects of the system work fine.
    Anyone else seeing this? Any clues?

    Surprised there hasn't been anyone else experiencing this issue.
    I have seen this on 2 new MBP 2.3mhz i5's with the Intel HD 3000 384mb graphics, Lion 10.7.3 & 10.7.4.
    Also with the latest Lion firmware for the late 2011 MBP's that addresses compatibility and stability issues.
    Hopefully there is a fix soon because the painting on my locked screen to login is getting annoying

    Thanks for the advise. I was about to follow your instructions. Then came along another advise which seems to be less risky.
    glad you fixed it but FYI resetting PRAM is NOT a risky operation. it's quite on par with just turning the computer off/on. it's an absolutely standard troubleshooting procedure which carries zero risk.
    That solved the problem
    However, I'm thankful for your effort in trying to help me. And I'll remember that the dvd-region setting will remain after a reset.
    Thanks again

  • OS Lion login screen buttons

  • How do you fix the issues with the OS X mountain lion? Screen freezes pages just swipe on own

    Having issues with the lion operating system

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • New Lion Login Screen, Auto Sleep?

    I set up two user accounts on my Mac Mini 1.83GHZ Core 2 Duo, and each account is set to auto-log off after 10 minutes of inactivity.  This works as expected (phew!) so that when each user needs to use their account, the computer is ready for them at the new log in screen.  Since this Mac is hooked up to a 40" TV, I want to make sure that I dont screenburn my TV if I leave it on at the new login screen.  I waited for ten minutes and the mac didn't sleep at the new login screen, I know I have the option to Sleep it from there manually, but does anyone know if the new login screen was designed to autosleep?
    Thanks,
    Mr. Louis

  • Is there a way to hide users from the FileVault 2 ''main boot'' login screen?

    After your entire disk is encrypted with FileVault 2, there is a now a ''main'' boot login screen with users displayed--after a full shutdown/restart--as opposed to a ''normal'' login screen when logging users in and out after booting into FileVault 2.
    If that made any sense...there was a way to hide users from the ''normal'' login screen before by running this Terminal command:
    sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow \ HiddenUsersList -array-add xxxx
    (xxxx being a short user's name)
    How do I do this now for the login screen that comes up on a full/shutdown restart?

    Not really, but you can move them from the home screen to, say, the 4th, or 10th screens. But you do need to have at least one app in every screen on the phone. My idea was to have several blanks before the screen with her apps, but the phone doesn't allow this.
    Sounds like time for the Iron Fist. ::grin:: Putting your foot down. Funny how those two descriptions don't quite match up. Our 5 year old son loves to use the iPhone, and with consistent training we have minimal trouble when he doesn't want to quit.
    Have a great trip. Joel.
