May 5, 2010i am using a hackintosh for a week now. I am using it just to get used to Mac OS X because i am switching to a Macbook Pro in a couple months. I switched from PC to Mac officially now. OK, let's come to the main topic of this thread;-At first, my hackintosh couldn't get my gfx card, i couldn't find the driver(kext) so my resolution was very bad. Everything was huge and blurry. I couldn't even look at my 17" Samsung LCD screen. I made an entry to file which was something like this

May 6, 2010Who has actually played games on BOTH the 2010 high res and standard res macbook pros?Reading through that gaming benchmark thread isn't much of an indicator as most people don't post their resolution and if they have they have only played on one or the other.Im trying to get a better indicator on the performance difference with newer games. Are we talking 2-6 fps drop or 10-20 or more?

Jun 17, 2014We are experiencing an issue where our enterprise Mac machines running Mavericks (10.9.1 to 10.9.3) where accounts set with administrative privileges are somehow getting reset to standard privileges. When this occurs we are unable to administer the machine and even attempting to log in with root is unavailable. Our only recourse has been to reimage the machine.
We do run Microsoft Office, Outlook, and Lync. Not sure if that is playing a part but throwing it out there.

OS X :: Setting Screen Resolution For Plasma TV?
Apr 29, 2009I have a Mac Mini (latest version) hooked up to my Panasonic TH-42PV70 by a MiniDisplayPort to HDMI adapter (through my Denon AVR-3808 surround receiver). Does anyone here know the optimal settings in SwitchResX or DisplayConfigX for this screen? I currently use 1280x720 without overscan, which renders a black frame around the image. Is it possible to get an image that fills the entire screen, without losing any information?

Desktops :: Resolution Setting For 16x9 G4 To Tv Connection?
Jan 20, 2010Now that I have my G4 connected to my Vizio 20" LCD tv via VGA cable, can anyone tell me how I can properly set the resolution for a 16x9 screen. Currently, the screen has the appearance of a 4x3 aspect ratio stretched to fill screen.
I've tried each of the resolution settings in the G4 with no luck. The tv does not have an option to correct.
Also, would I see better results -- or have more options -- if I purchased a vga - hdmi converter box?
MacBook :: Setting Wallpaper With Higher Resolution
Oct 21, 2009I have an aluminum Macbook Unibody 13" that I just picked up off craigslist and was wondering if anyone new what I can expand the memory to. It has 2 GB Ram in it right now, and it is the 2.4 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 250 GB Hard Drive. Also I am trying to download apple wallpapers for it, but when I set it as my wallpaper it doesn't look as clear on my background as it does in the preview, even when I copy and set the one with higher resolution. I must be doing something wrong, if you don't mind could someone take me through the steps of how to properly download and apply wallpapers, as your background?
View 1 Replies View RelatedMacBook Air :: Setting Default Display Resolution?
Mar 29, 2012I'm using a MBA connected to a 52" TV with a 1920X1080 resolution when I teach. I often turn mirroring on and off depending on what I'm teaching and what program I'm using. When I turn mirroring on it defaults to a 1400X1050 resolution and I have to manually go into display settings and change it to the higher resolution. Is there a way to set the default settings so that it will always default to 1920X1080?

OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: Screen Resolution Setting Changes After Log-off?
Apr 9, 2012I can't be the only person experiencing this, but I can't find anything on the 'net about it. I've got a 15" MacBook Pro (early 2011) and Snow Leopard 10.6.8. About 1/3rd of the time when I logoff and go back to the Snow Leopard login window, the purple Aurora background is smaller than the screen's displayable area, and pushed up into the top left corner of the screen. A wide band of solid blue takes up the right side of the screen and a narrrower one appears along the bottom of the screen.
The login window still works, and if I log into a user, the user's desktop is also limited to that upper left part of the screen -- a roughly 9" x 7" area, instead of the 13" x 8" displayable area of the whole screen. The mouse pointer won't leave the (now limited) desktop area.
I've just figured out that the display resolution shown in System Preferences-->Displays has been changed from the normal/default setting of 1440 x 900 to a setting of 1024 x 768! It happens when logging out of any of (at least) four different users,including two that are rarely used. Restarting the system sets everything back to normal again, as does using System Preferences to set the display resolution back to 1440 x 900. what could be causing the screen display resolution to change after logout?

MacBook Pro :: Setting Right Resolution For External Monitor?
Apr 16, 2012I have just connected an external 19" monitor to my 15" macbook pro. I am using both displays and that is fine, however I would like to be able to change the font sizes in my 19" monitor, because the default one is too small. I have to get awfully close to the monitor. I am not sure how i can display it better. When I tried changing resolution from 1440x900 to others, I didn't make it right, is that the only way? All I want is for screens in this monitor to have larger fonts (all programs, whether its safari, chrome, mail, etc). I should mention I am a brand new mac user.

Windows On Mac :: Setting Maximum Resolution Of External Monitor With Vista
Jul 7, 2007I just got my MaBook Pro (2.2 GHz and nVidia graphic card). I installed Boot Camp 1.3 and Vista. I have a Benq Monitor 24" with the native resolution of 1920x1080. The MBP is attached to the monitor via DVI.
The problem is that the max resolution Vista allows me to set up for the external monitor is: 1024 X 768. I have tried the original Vista driver from nVidia, but it wont recognize my hardware. Needless to say, that under Mac OS X everything works just fine.
Hardware :: Setting 1920x1080 Screen Resolution On 2007 Macbook
Jul 29, 2009The resolution on the monitor is 1920 by 1080 and the resolution on my Macbook is 1920 by 1200. Will the Macbook automatically adjust to 1080 or will there be some stretching or otherwise bad quality to accommodate the difference?
I don't have to have the latest and greatest technology, but I do want something that will look nice. I really like the HP monitors for the money and was hoping to get something around this size. I just want to make sure this isn't going to screw up the resolution or anything.
OS X :: Reformating Drive To Standard Format / Standard Usb Thumb Drive?
Nov 28, 2010All other articles I've seen online and on this site have been utterly useless for information on how to reformat this drive to a standard format. It has to be possible because all it is is a standard usb thumb drive.
I don't care if it gets rewritten as I've made a copy of it, and besides, if I really need the os to be installed again I'll just take it to the Genius Bar to have it done.
I'm looking for someone who really knows there stuff with terminal and permissions and all of that stuff to shed a little light on this subject.

View 4 Replies View RelatedMacBook Pro :: Unable To Use Custom Resolution For Tv / Best Resolution For An LCD HDTV?
Aug 17, 2010So i'm trying to figure out the best resolution for using my macbook pro in clamshell mode. I think ever since i installed snow leopard the new resolution choices i have are not longer pixel x pixel, but actual TV resolutions, such as 1080i, 720p, 420p. In the past I've used SwitchResX to do custom resolutions for my tv but that dosnt seem to work anymore.
I'm trying to find a resolution where text is easy to read. 1080i looks pretty but text is extremely small. 720p the text is larger and easy to see but is very fuzzy and not easy on the eyes. I guess this has something to do with the pixels on a tv being farther apart than that of a computer monitor. It's a 32" LCD TV. I'm using a DVI to HDMI cable (Non-Unibody Macbook Pro).

MacBook Pro :: How Long Before SSD Is Standard
Aug 5, 2009We're all used to the idea of technology, memory, price, and TIME. But how long do you think before you can get a 512 GB SSD for around $200? I'm guessing 2 years, and by that time SSDs will become standard and everyone will be asking around that time what could possibly make Hard drives faster. It would even be perfect to replace your old hard drive instead of buying a new computer, just back up your data and re-install the OS and you practically have a brand new computer. And of course by that time there will be SSDs that surpass the current Intel ones.
