Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
My wife's Mac changed resolutions - possibly as a result of running a full-screen game. She says it has happened before. I told her to reboot and let me know if that helped.
It didn't, so I went to settings to change its resolution, seeing only 2 options, 1920 x 1200 or 960 x 600.
I told her tonight to turn her computer all the way off, meanwhile I would see what I could find out.
What should I look at to trace down her problem?
24, Mac OS X (10.7), Home workgroup
Try clicking Detect Displays in the Displays preferences. If that has no effect then try a smc and pram reset.
By the way, I have my iMac backed up through Time Machine to an external hard drive, but I have never needed to revert to a previous system. Can you tell me exactly how to do it?
Sorry for the late reply.
What I did was use Time Machine and went back to a date before 10.7.4 came in. I cannot remember what that was but we might be able to date from when the discussion started. Otherwise the telephone help people maybe able to give you a download of the original Lion and then do the up dates up to 10.7.3 only
Hope that works
Let's suppose I can identify a point on Time Machine right before 10.7.4 came aboard. Would I need a download of the original Lion to go back, or is there a way I can just restore it through Time Machine by itself? What I'm looking for are the steps to accomplish this.
I just clicked on the time and did a restore and the whole thing went back- operating system the lot
Let's suppose you restore back to 0/09/2011. Does that mean you restore your WHOLE COMPUTER back to that date thus eliminating music and other files you have added since that date? Define restore.
Yes, when you restore to an earlier date the computer goes back to what it was on that date. I maybe wrong, but I have a recollection that anything bought on iTunes can be downloaded again. Safest to check with Telephone Support first
The other way is that maybe Telephone Support can down load Lion for you again and then don't put the 10.7.4 update in
The Lion upgrade has arrived!!!
We can put my wife's computer back on the shelf of her desk where it used to be!!!!
imac only has 2 resolutions
