10.7.4 screen resolution problem

Hi,

What was lost in this maze I made above is that I no longer have the 2006 iMac, as I sent it to a family member.

However, just this last week I heard that 10.7.5 had fixed this issued and I remote logged into the machine to check on it.

Sure enough, it appears 10.7.5 has corrected the issue as I now see the other resolutions present.

However, I did not test them, but it they are being displayed, money is on that they will work.

Long story short, update to 10.7.5.

One last thing - 2006 can NOT be upgraded to Mountain Lion (can't, won't, will never be, just is).

I just went to my wife's computer and tried to upgrade. OSX 10.7.4 says her computer is up to date.

I've read that 10.7.5 will have her fix - and that her computer won't run Mountain Lion (which is on my year newer computer).

How do I get 10.7.5?

I was thinking that clicking on the link I provided above would have presented 10.7.5. to the affected computers. If that was not the case, I don't know. It happened auto-magically for my cousin.

Not that is helps, but ...

That page just tells us how to set up automatic checking for uploads, which we already have on.

Hmm, I just went to the App Store and saw that it wants to download Lion. So I'm downloading it now - hopefully it's 10.7.5

Nah, I cancelled that. It wants to load from July 29, 2011.

I'm seeing a bunch of non-Apple sites for it. I imagine those are for developers.

I wish I could find where I read this, but I did read that it is mislabled still as 10.7.4 (but the date is July 2012, and that is how you can tell). That being said, I don't see it either. It's not like I can ask my cuz either, it just happened. My money is on a obscure driver or Safari update may have fixed it.

Hi Dave,

I wondering if you still have that compiled command around. I know little about compiling, and ran into a bunch of errors trying to do it.

I'd love to see if the command will help my screen issue.

Thanks!

Hi

I updatet to 10.7.5 it fixed my screnn resolution to the settings of old.
