Won't Re-Adjust the Screen Resolution

I have a retinal display 13-in Macbook Pro running 10.8.5.  After I use an external monitor (27" Thunderbolt Display) and I unplug the thunderbolt display port to take my laptop to meetings, my Macbook Pro still thinks my resolution is 2560x1440.  The windows are really big and I need to readjust.  The same problem happens when I use dual-monitor.  Although the "system preference" does not recognize dual-monitor connection, but OSX still open a new application is a window that I cannot see.
Is there a way force Macbook Pro to rescan for display type and adjust the display accordingly?  This is becoming really annoying because I have to reboot for my Macbook Pro to adjust to the default LCD display it has.
Thanks in advance.

Hi b,
Go to System Preferences > Displays and adjust your resolution there.

  • Have a bit of a problem. I'm trying to adjust the resolution on a 2013 27" iMac. Brand new, bought on April 6 2013 from Apple. My friend is 84 years old so, I'm trying to help him adjust the screen so he can see the screen. Any direction would be great.

    OK. Have a 84 year old that has a hard time seeing the screen. I've been able to adjust Safari's resolution to accomadate him however, I would like to adjust the screen resolution. When I open preference's / displays, it doesn't have an option to adjust. Is there a way? Maybe thourgh terminal? The computer is the new 27" iMac purchased on April 6, 2013 from Apple. Yes, it is the newest iMac without the disk (DVD) drive. It's running Mountian Lion.
    Anyone have some direction on how to solve this enigma???

    The purchase date isn't the important info here.  The actual model of the iMac is and this info is in the model identifier.  For example, I have a late-2012 iMac, model identifier is iMac 13,2.  I will add that there is no 2013 model available.  The most recent at this time is the late-2012 model which I have.
    On my display if I select Apple->System Preferences->Displays then press the button "Display" I am presented with a screen which shows Resolution and Scaled as button options.  "Best for built-in display" is the default, however, clicking on "Scaled" brings up the various resolutions that can be used with the display:
    From this I can select a display with larger items, but keep in mind that while a larger image can be selected (using a smaller width x height value) it will not be as crisp and sharp as the default.

  • Is there any way to change the screen resolution in Front Row?

    Hi all,
    I've got a Mac Mini plugged in to my TV, and I want to be able to change the screen resolution depending on the content I'm watching (as some content is in 4:3 aspect ratio, some is in 16:9, and I'd prefer to have the picture filling the screen completely). Unfortunately, the TV doesn't have a "stretch" mode for making an 4:3 picture fit a 16:9 aspect ratio. If I know what I want to watch in advance, I can set the resolution accordingly using system prefs on the mac, but if I'm just sitting back choosing what to watch with the Apple Remote, it's annoying to have to leave front row, walk over to the computer and change resolution once I've decided what to watch, open system prefs, change resolution, re-launch Front Row and find what I wanted to watch again.
    So I was wondering if anyone had figured a way to allow the screen resolution to be switched from within the FrontRow UI. I've seen that people have written python based plug-ins such as PyeTV and Understudy that allow different types of content to be added to FrontRow, but I've not found any utility plug-ins such as what I'm looking for on the net (nor could I find SDK documentation on this API in the stuff that comes with XCode).
    I guess the other approach might be quick keys: has anyone had any success hooking up quick keys macros alongside front row in response to apple remote events? (seems too few events to be able to choose from, but I've never tried it, so I won't assume!) Or how about is there a way to trigger an AppleScript from within Front Row? And, of course, I'm very open to any other ideas you might have!
    Thanks very much in advance for any ideas on this.

  • Adjust the screen display dynamically for a given screen size and resolutio

    Hi All,
    Is there a posibility to change the size of a table control dynamically to maximize the screen utilization keeping in mind , the different screen size and resolution. This is to increase the breadth of the table control that there is maximum utilization of screen and which would not produce any horizontal scroll bar in case of small size monitors.Kindly advice.
    Best Regards,
    Ashwini

    There is no such control that you can put into the programming logic to enhance the visual appearance of the table controls or screens. This is taken care of by SAP GUI, which will adjust the display size of the table control according to the screen resolution.

  • After using Image Capture and watching a video, the screen resolution changes

    Hello,
    Normally the colors of my screen are clear; The top ruler of each window is grey.
    But after scanning a color document, the color is pale. As if someone changed the screen resolution.
    Is this a common problem?
    My former Macbook Pro died because of a problem with the video system, a default acknowledged by Apple that they didnt want to repair under warranty anymore.
    Does this ring a bell?
    Today, the colors quickly became normal again, but I'd like to make sure it ' s not going to become a serious problem.
    Maybe this sounds kind of vague, well if anyone has something constructive to say about this, please do.
    thanks

    When you decided to not copy the files into the iPhoto Library Folder you took responsibility for File Management. iPhoto does not touch your file structure. Therefore, when you delete a photo from iPhoto you have to delete it from your file structure by hand.
    This is not the case if you let iPhoto do the File Management.
    There is no way to get iPhoto to find the pics you have deleted from it but which remain in your file structure. In the future, you could Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. You can then delete it from there, and after delete it from iPhoto.
    BTW, many people hold on to their own file structure because they feel that they will be unable to find a pic in the Finder, should they need it for uploading or emailing. There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
    1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, this produces a copy.
    3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • URGENT: How to fix an application with the screen resolution?

    HI everyone,
    I am desprate and need help.. I have developed an application with Java swing and awt (JFrames, JPanels and...). This application displays perfectly with 1280 x 1024 screen resolution but in a situation where the screen does not support this resolution, a part of my application will not appear. I can not even scroll down to see the reste of the components. Does any one has any idea that how I can resolve this problem! I mean how either I can make my JFrame or panel to scroll down or to change the size of the components according to the resolution!
    Thank you very much and wait for a reply :)

    One of the possible reason of the problem is you must have hardcoded the size of panels and other container that is just right for the screen resolution 1280 x 1024.
    The solution is set the size of the containers that depends on the resolution of the screen.
    You have not explained much detail about the scrolling problem. But I suppose that you have a scrollpane in you GUI and you want to scroll the component inside it even at another resolution.
    try using this
    if p is the panel that is added in the scrollpane then set its prefered size.
    p.setPreferredSize(resolution dependant size).

  • How to change the screen resolution in Sparc workstation.

    I am using the CDE screen to login. I need to set the screen resolution to 1100*864. How to set?
    solaris 10 current setting is 1280*1024.

    Specs for Ultra20 machine list ATI graphics as " onboard " chipset and the availability of four (4) other plug-in cards as options.
    Depending on the installed graphics card, you must seek different commands, etc. for each change of resolution.
    If you do not have the original manuals that accompanied the unit, check Sun`s site for documentation. They list an abundance of info and the " Getting Started " book gives indepth details about setting up the various graphics options for proper use with the various operating systems. .......................
