Ok this is really ******* me off; I can't change my display resolution to 1440x900 from 1280x800. The only other option is 1024x640 and that's definitely not the way to go. Someone please help me fix this or at least let me know why this is happening? Is it normal?

Says the original MacBook didn't have 1440x900 native, however an external display could have higher resolution. Sounds like you need an external display
for higher resolutions, unless you can tell us more specifically what MacBook you have. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6413
heyhey,
1. Thanks for replying!
2. I have MacBook Pro 13" iOS X Version 10.9.4 -
I just bought it a year and a half a ago so I'm surprised it doesn't have better resolution.
Do you have any other advice?
Sorry, I misread what you have. Anyway, iOS is the operating system for iPad, iPhone, iPod touch and AppleTV.
A 13" MacBook Pro bought a year and half ago, would be early 2013 MacBook Pro or a Retina 2012. It does support higher scaled resolutions:

If neither of these appear to be your machine, use this tip to identify your Mac:

Something tells me you don't have the 13" Model pro that is from that time frame. But first you must properly identify your Mac.
The maximum resolution for a 13"non retina MacBook Pro is 1280 x 800 (using it's own screen). More is available if you use an external monitor.
According to the link you sent and the serial number I put in my mac is a
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012)
Ok so to clarify, you're saying there's nothing I can do besides use an external monitor, I need to just deal with the 1280 resolution?
😟 *sadness*
(side note: really appreciate the quick help I'm getting with this!)
Yup, only by using an external monitor can you exceed 1280x800 on your Mac. 😟
