Wrong ibook display size

to the forum:
I just purchased a second hand ibook. It came
with Tiger installed and no original system disks.
(The CPU is a 700 MHz PowerPCG3 and there is 640MB
of ram) Although I didn't do much with the machine
under Tiger, everything seemed to be working fine.
In particular, the whole ibook screen was used.
I got the original system disks from Apple and
proceeded with Software Restore. That erased Tiger
and replaced it with earlier system software.
I can boot into system 9 and system 10, BUT
the display (under both systems) is about the size
of the 1984 mac display (surrounded by a large black
border). Otherwise everything is working.
In system 9, the system profiler shows the
display card leading to display(2) which
has a screen size of 640 by 480. The monitor
panel in the control strip shows the
same thing along with "color LCD (1) 1024 by 768".
I don't know why two displays are shown.
In system 10, I can't find anything about the
display size, but it may be at the bottom
of a window I can't see (because of small screen).
Any help would be much appreciated.

You're Welcome Roger!
"... the 10.2.8 combo did help. In OS X 10.2.8, the display is now the right size."
Yippee!
"... booting into System 9 still leads to the small display. Perhaps I should start a new topic in the System 9 forum."
It's been so long since I used OS 9, I couldn't even begin to troubleshoot it!
You're correct, there are some very knowledgeable members in the OS 9 forum, but eww has a handle on it here too.
"...you are running 10.3.9 and 9.2.2 on one of your machines. Can you boot into 9 on that machine? And does Classic run also?"
Yes and yes. But I can't remember the last time I booted into OS 9, or started Classic.
I'm a total OS X junkie. After installing Panther 10.3.x, I never looked back!
I'll take the liberty of anticipating your next question though

I've lost the ability to add new sites, change display size, etc. of sites shown when I open a new tab. What am I doing wrong?

At some point my ability to add sites from the new tab page, change site displayed sizes, etc. has stopped working. I liked this feature. What changed or what am I doing wrong?

Do you still see the about:newtab page with the 3x3 tiles?
Did you modify the number of rows and columns on this page?

Windows 8.1 forgets dpi / display size settings for one monitor on almost every reboot

I use TV 32" with 1920x1080 and cintiq 13" with 1920x1080
when I boot my PC the resolution is fine but DPI is wrong.
In smaller monitor It's look like DPI is higher than the bigger one.
I already set dpi to be the same (smallest 100%) but it's not work until I do something to change display setting.
It's really annoy me. This problem is not happen when I use windows 8
Only solution I found is turn off
"Turn on fast start-up".
When I do that It's boot like what I want. every monitor is the same DPI.
But it'll make my boot time longer.
It should be just start up windows and use the same dpi from the start.
So I think this problem is a bug in windows 8.1
Best regards

Thank you for reply.
I've already used the latest graphic card driver. But It's won't help this issue.
In registry editor. I check those variables then value of them is already set like that blog suggest.
So , it look like when windows start-up(with fast start-up) It use something like
suggest value for different monitor size instead of what I set in control panel. But when I turn off fast start-up windows use my setting value.
And I think there are a lot of people who got the same problem as me.
Here is an example.

This issue can be caused by the bitmap version of the Helvetica or Geneva font or another (bitmap) font that can't be displayed by Firefox in that font size.
Firefox can't display that font in the specified size and displays gibberish instead.
You can test that by zooming out (View > Zoom > Zoom Out, Ctrl -) to make the text smaller.
Uninstall (remove) all variants of that not working font to make Firefox use another font or find a True type version of that font that doesn't have the problem.

Wrong Dates and Sizes in List View in Finder (10.3.9)

Hi,
I'm in the Finder (Mac OS X 10.3.9) looking at a folder.
The folder is in List View mode.
Here's the problem:
Files that I edited yesterday are continuing to show up as modified "Today."
What's with that?
The Finder window won't update. (And I modified those files 12 hours ago.)
This has been going on for years.
Sometimes clicking on each file will trigger an update of the info, sometimes not.
Sometimes the dates are wrong, sometimes the sizes are wrong.
Is there a cure for this Mac OS bug?

When creating a new DPS should I use sizes offered by InDesign or the display size of the device?

Hello all,
When creating a new DPS, should I use the sizes offered by InDesign or the display size of the device? I ran into this question when I was looking up the sizes of different devices and found that iPhone 5s, iPhone5c, and iPhone4s sizes differ than the defauly dimensions offered by InDesign.
Also, should I worry about the ppi resolution? With iPhone, they all seem to be 326ppi but when dealing with other devices is this something that I should take into consideration? Ideally, I could be creating DPS apps for all devices offered in the Digital Publishing drop down in InDesign (iPhone, iPad, Kindle Fire/Nook, and Android).
Thank you for any help you can provide.
By the way, if it helps I am using InDesign CC.

Using 1024x768 and creating PDF articles will get you OK with both iPad resolutions, and, as Bob L. says, quite decent "one size fits all" result for all other devices.

Error in Search results - Sorry, something went wrong. Display template had an error

I'm receiving this error in custom search results page in our SharePoint 2013 Enterprise farm:
Sorry, something went wrong.
Display Error: The display template had an error. You can correct it by fixing the template or by changing the display template used in either the Web Part properties or Result Types.

I believe a similar error was resolved by March 2013 CU but our farm us running Aug 2013 CU. I have also tried adding domain to trusted zone in IE but still the same error.
I do not get this error in Google Chrome or in IE 10 or above. Not sure if it is an issue with my display template because error disappears when upgrading IE to 10 or 11.
Update: In IE 8 I can see search results with no error if the developer toolbar (F12) is enabled!

My next iMac-- which graphics card; which display size?

Hi all,
I'd like some advice in choosing my next iMac, specifically regarding the graphics card and the display size.
Graphics Card:
I'm not a gamer nor am I doing any 3D animation. Is there any other reason to upgrade the graphics card? I DO want the best possible video playback (QT movies), but I don't know if the graphics card has any bearing on video playback quality.
Display size:
Aside from the obvious differences in resolution, do any of the three displays sizes (17,20,24) have any history of being better or more reliable?
Thanks in advance for any tips

Your needs will better dictate which model is best.
Video playback of QuickTine movies will not be affected by upgrading to the 24" with the nVidia chip.
No 3D gaming or animation means no need for a higher end graphics card. In my case, the x1600 ATi in the original Core Duo 20" is more than sufficient for everything I've thrown at it so far including full resolution "Call of Duty".
For your use, you may not need the extra VRAM but I personally would bump it up to 256MB though. Adding an external monitor will split the total VRAM between the two monitors and with Apple continually moving a lot of Mac OS X's graphical features to the GPU, the extra memory may be a blessing.
Display Size:
I believe that reliability between the three models is pretty much the same.
The advantage to the 24" is, of course, the extra screen real estate and resolution. However The price difference between the 20" and 24" could allow you to go with the 20" model and add an external LCD for a dual screen setup (if space permits).
Weigh your needs - now and the immediate future - and then look at both models in person if possible.

How to set display size of a Region or Dynamic Region?

Hi,experts,
In jdev 11.1.2.3,
I drag and drop a task-flow into a jsf page to create a Region,
and set display size for the region, source code as:
===================
<f:facet name="second">
<af:decorativeBox theme="medium" id="db1">
<f:facet name="center">
<af:panelGroupLayout layout="scroll" id="pgl1"
inlineStyle="width:1200px;height:700px;">
<af:region value="#{bindings.trainflow11.regionModel}" id="r1"
inlineStyle="width:1200px;height:700px;"/>
</af:panelGroupLayout>
</f:facet>
</af:decorativeBox>
</f:facet>
=================
But, the Region is only showed a small fraction area on the parent jsf page whenever during design or run time.
How to set display size of a Region or Dynamic Region?
Thanks!

Hi,
the decorative box is supposed to stretch components in the center facet, so at runtime the region should stretch. Can you try with a static region to see if this is an issue with dynamic regions?

How to set a uniform display size of multiple intermedia image types - wher

I have read "If you want to limit the size of the file that can be uploaded, you can do this as a post generation
step, by adding the maxFileSize property to the <controller> element in the struts-config:
This does not address how to limit the *** display size *** where you have multiple intermedia image types - where the original size is not uniform.
If an image is uploaded where the true image display size is 1024 x 768 - it will display that way in the table/table-form. This will create un-even display size's where previous images sizes where different 384 x 384 and so on.
Is there a way to encode the display size so that *** ALL *** images regardless of their true size are displayed uniformly at least on one dimension (64 x ???)? This is possible when using products such as Dreamweaver or Flash.
BTW - JHS/***JDev*** synergy is truely magnificient!!! Way-To-Go Oracle!!!!!!!!!!! Keep it up!!!!
BG...

Bill,
I did some tests, and was able to reproduce it. The problem is that JHeadstart distinguishes between display types fileDownload and image, but UIX uses the same <media> tag to handle both display types. It will look at runtime whether it must render a hyperlink to download the document, or to render it right away as an image.
To get all images the same size, you can set the display width and height, AND the display type must be set to image.
However, to get the file name used as download link, you must set the FileName attribute AND the display type must be set to "fileDownload" ..
So, to solve your problem, it is easiest to set the displayType to "fileDownload" and set the width and height properties post-generation in the generated UIX page.
In the next release of Jheadstart, we will fix this, and always pick up width, height and fileName settings regardless of the display type.
Note that you should also set the FileName property against the attribute you are using to upload the file.
Steven Davelaar,
JHeadstart Team.

Display Size of the Visual Admininstrator

I have an interesting problem - the display size of the Visual Administrator in one of my Netweaver systems has opened very small - I cannot stretch it any bigger. In all the rest of my systems the Visual Admininstrator opens full screen (we are AIX-UNIX).
I think I can probably solve the problem by rebooting the server but I would like to know if there is any way to control the size of the Visual Admininstrator? Is there a configuration file or something similar?
Thanks
Patrick

Hello Patrick ,
I have no idea how to resize the visual admin.
But the easiest thing to do is to install the visiual admin locally on a windows desktop.
Be shure you have installed jre 1.4.2 on your windows desktop.
Then copy the complete /usr/sap/<SID>/DVEBMGSXX/j2ee/admin
directory to your windows desktop.
Just doubleclick on the go.bat and the visual admin starts.
Create the desired connections and youre finished.
Have fun,

Wrong email display name with german umlauts (MS Exchange 2003)

We use 6 iPhones with Exchange 2003 and get wrong email display names with german umlauts (ä,ü,ö) - but the email-body is right.
We get special characters instead of umlauts, so the display name split into pieces. Anwering is not posipble - we get a failure-message.
We changed the standard-internet-mailformat on the exchange-server to unicode utf-8. First it works fine, after a few hours the names displays wrong again.
So we use this hotfix:
http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B916299&x=11&y=13
Same result: First it works fine, after a few hours the names displays wrong again at the iPhone.
Any ideas?

Do you have commas in the display name? We used to have "Müller, Thomas" <[email protected]> and then got the split up and special characters you mention. Tests have shown that when leaving out the comma in the display name, e.g. "Thomas Müller" <[email protected]>, everything worked fine.
Guess it's a question of whether a company wants to change its naming convention for a few iPhone users...

This ePub file looks good because I can open it with my iPad - iBooks, however iTunes publisher always rejects this.
Any solutions ?

I was getting that error when I used OSX's default compress feature. I found a little utility called ePub Zip and used it to compress (zip) my ePubs and that did the trick. They then passed the validation. I got it here:
