Seeing video driver issues with the 10.7.3 upgrade? My monitor now looks like this (not sure why the pic upside down). This happened after the download from software update, re-applying the combo pack, and re-installing 10.7.0 and applying the 10.7.3 combo pack. I'm not in the process of reinstalling again and will apply the 10.7.2 update.

I currently own a 27" Core i7 iMac and already have a 24" BENQ (M2400HD) connected to it via DisplayPort to DVI. I was wondering if using a USB to DVI to display adapter would work with the 1920x1080 resolution.
What I want to do is buy a USB to DVI to display adapter like the one here: [URL] and purchase the 21.5" M2200HD BENQ monitor to add as the third monitor. I want to be able to utilise the 21'5" native resolution of 1920x1080 with the USB display adapter.
On the OWC website, it states that the USB display adapter could support resolutions of up to 2048x1152. Do you think that it would be able to support 1920x1080? Most other USB display adapters seem to only support up to 1600x1200 or around there.
The 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.
I have been having some problems with my Macbook Pro. I have a new BenQ screen connected to it via the Mini Display Port to VGA adapter from Apple. No matter what I do, I cant seem to be able to change the resolution to anything higher than 1280x1024, which is a pretty stupid resolution to have on a 27'' monitor. Sometimes when I plug it in, it gives me the option to change the resolution to 1920x1080.
But when I select it, the screen goes black and displays the message "No signal detected". Now, as it happens, I have a copy of windows installed on a partition of my hdd, and the screen works flawlessly on it. full HD with 75 Hertz. So that shows that it is not a hardware problem, it has to be a software problem. I tried everything, including reinstalling OS X, and deleting the "windowserver" files. no success.

Anyone else experiencing the same issue? after updating to 10.5.7 i got a grey band across the bottom of my screen after restart. I logged in and went to system preferences, but the highest resolution i can now choose is 1920x1080.
My screen is a HP w2448hc, its capable of 1920x1280, worked at this res before update. Anyone suggest a fix? or did they restrict the mac mini in the update?
The highest resolution I can get at the moment is 1600x900 using a MacBook Pro, however I know that my monitor is capable of 1920x1080, as this is the resolution I used with my last computer which was a PC. I am using the Mini Display port to DVI adapter. The MacBook is fairly new. I bought it in April 2010.

Upgraded to 10.7.4 today, and now,when trying to authenticate to existing WEP networks, OSX is mistakenly recognizing them as WEP Enterprise encryption. These networks still work fine on my Droid using normal WEP, so I can confirm that the network was not reconfigured.Â

The old Mini worked fine with my Westinghouse 24" LCD monitor (HDMI input -connected to Mini via DVI->HDMI cable).The new Mini Server 2010 has HDMI out, so I used a straight-through HDMI cable. The display looks terrible! All of the fonts appear to have a 'shadow' next to them - almost like an old analog VGA with 'interference'.Thinking it could be the cable, I went back to my old Mini's DVI->HDMI cable (and used the new Mini's HDMI->DVI adapter to connect to it). Same results.The Westinghouse monitor's native resolution is 1920x1200. The Mac says that it's configured for 1920x1200.

Under Lion, there are lots of Java applets that I can't get to work.For instance, most of these just show solid white:[URL]I can tell that they're loading, because a few of them produce console output I can see in Java Console.Also, a few of them display some GUI elements.But mostly, they're blank.I've encountered lots of other applets, not Java3D, which also don't work.There's a lot of code rot going on due to Apple abandoning Java on the Mac and Oracle not picking it up.I just wanted to know if anyone knew of any tweaks I could make to the system to get these to work.I do, of course, have Java applets enabled in Java Preferences.

I'm running Lion 10.7.3 on my iMac and Macbook Air. I upgrade 1Password to the latest build (3.8.16) on my iMac last week but didn't use safari on it until yesterday when I noticed that Safari just opens blank with a spinning beachball? Not a major problem as I've been using my Air..... but just now when I also upgrade 1Password on the Air, Safari stops working and same issue. Firefox works fine.

I upgraded my Mac Mini to Lion. When I go to the sound output, I still have two options:Â
* Headphones (Headphone port)
* marantz-AVR (HDMI)Â
When I select the Marantz, it highlights in blue momentarily and then slides back to Headphones. It does not stay on the Marantz. I've restarted both units, unplugged cables, and the same. What do I do now? And, yes, everything worked perfectly just before my Lion upgrade.

I recently updated my MB to OSX Lion 10.7.4. I had to re-apply my custom menu bar and icons (as usual), but the first thing I noticed was that the login window was back to that disgusting linen texture.I thought the update just replaced the file, (didn't happen before), so I went to /System/Library/Frameworks/Appkit.framework/Versions/C/Resources/NsTexturedFull ScreenBackgroundColor.png. And then the file was the same, my previous login window.
So the question is: Where is the new login screen texture stored? I can change the mission control background, but no amount of goolging or anything provides accurate and working information to replace the login screen on 10.7.4. Why would Apple break this all of a sudden? The worse case scenario would be that Apple decided to troll and draw the login screen programmatically. Which should never be the case...

I've been pondering whether to get the hi res upgrade for my soon-to-be MBP 15''. I was curious as to how HD videos/movies would play with the hi-res. From what I have heard, this upgrade still wont support full 1080 right? will there be a big difference playing 720p on this upgraded screen vs. a non upgraded screen?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI've got a 37" LG LC2D panel and a G5 PowerMac with dual DVI outputs. I just picked up a DVI->HDMI cable, expecting it output to a resolution of 1366*768. However, the only options I have are: 1024*768, 1280*720, and 1920*540 (which doesn't work). Is it not possible for the Mac to output to a 1366*768 resolution on the 256MB GeForce 6600 PCI Express? If not, what are my upgrade options?
I have just bought a second hand Mac Mini, Mac OS X Server, 10.6.8 It has got 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo and 2 GB of DDR2 RAM. I have attached it to my monitor, which supports the 1366x768 resolution (that's a 16:9 resolution). From the "System Preferences" -> "Displays" I looked for that resolution but I didn't find it - therefore the screen looks a bit weird, with very small fonts. Is there any way I can set up that resolution, or at least make the screen look a bit nicer?Â
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've just bought a mac mini to run as a media centre. I want to connect it to my 40 inch LCD Samsung TV. I've tried all the preset resolutions and sizes but none of them seem to properly fit the TV, I loose about 2 inches on the top bottom and both sides. Any ideas how to get the Mac Mini to use all of the screen but keeping the resolution at 1080p (which the TV supports).

I'm having problems with my mac mini 1.25 G4 set up to my Philips 42" 1080p HDTV.
When I boot up the mac it automatically sets the correct resolution, but after about 5 minutes of use I start getting this color digital static and then after a few hits of this the TV goes blank. Sometimes I can get it back if I move the mouse or type on the keyboard, but it eventually goes away again.
I have 2 monitors connected to my mac mini. one with the mini displayport to vga, and the other mini dvi to vga. both of the monitors are exactly the same and they used to be set to the same resolution 1440 x 900. however one came unplugged and now it doesn't even give me the option to choose this resolution anymore. Is there anyway to fix this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm thinking about getting a Mini to use as an HTPC with a 42" Sharp Aquos LCD TV. if I connect the two using DVI to HDMI, will Snow Leopard detect that it's an HDTV and allow me to use the new 1080p setting without having to use SwitchRes X or DisplayConfigX? The 1080p setting works on my MBP when in extended desktop mode, but not in mirroring mode (because resolution is limited to the 1440x900 of my screen). I'm hoping that since the Mini has no display, 1080p setting will work out of the box. If someone could confirm that would be great.

I have dual monitors connected to my 2010 Mac mini (the first model of Mac mini to support two separate monitor outputs) and I have it in extended desktop mode. (Different content on both monitors)
When I first attached my secondary monitor, the resolution was correct. However, ever since a power outage several years ago the monitor's resolution ratio is different. The monitor's resolution is now 1280 x 1024, but the ratio is off for my Widescreen monitor. It isn't the default "widescreen", but it isn't a square either. Because of this ratio mismatch, all the content on that monitor is stretched out horizontally. (From side to side)
