Mirror iPad to External Display
I have problems trying to mirror my iPad2 display with the correct aspect ratio to an external monitor. The iPad mirrored output is widescreen (therefore stretched) on a new monitor. I am using a genuine Apple 30 pin to VGA adapter. I am not wanting to watch movies etc, so in-app resolution settings are not applicable. How do I get a better iPad (4:3?) display ratio on the monitor? I today bought an HP monitor (model 20wd LED backlit 19 inch) with a maximum and recommended resolution of 1600 X 900 @ 60Hz. It has inputs for VGA and DVI and incorporates several (8) preset computer supported display modes ranging from 640x480 up to 1600x900. I cannot adjust screen resolution on the monitor. HP documentation says to adjust display modes at the PC! The monitor menu has an item for “Image Control”, but the “custom scaling” option is grayed out. The option for “Auto-adjustment” seems to be the default or over-riding setting for a VGA input - I can’t turn it off. Has the iPad a setting to give an output of say 1024 X 768 (4:3 ratio)? Or is distorted “widescreen” the only iPad option when used with a modern monitor? (Or, should I re-read the HP user manual - and Apple Support documention - more carefully?)

Re: Hot Spot.
Hi All. This evening I received an e-mail from a very busy Ronni Brown, the only reply that I have received to day, except a personal reply from Daniel who reset my e-mail address so that I could post a query, thank you Daniel. Ronni sent me instructions as to “how to set my iPhone and my iPad up to wirelessly work together”, giving me a personal Modem. Thank you Ronni, your help, as always, has ended my two days of frustration.

Not happy Jan!
Updating to 10.10.3 has lost me the use of Photoshop Elements 6. I am turning into a bit of a luddite.A couple of my Macs running 10.6.8 run quite nicely thanks.

Re: Not happy Jan!
Wow... So I would guess the upgrade to Photos.app from iPhoto.app is the cause. I've updated my 17 MBP to OS X 10.10.3 with Photos.app but at the moment I'm leaving my MBA at OS X 10.10.2 with iPhoto.app So far there is not much I like about Photos.app. I would have liked to see and hear Peter H's presentation and thoughts last night at WAMUG meeting as Peter H mentioned he really liked the new Photos App and I highly value Peter's observations and thoughts. When I can find some time I'll give more thought to why PSE is not working in 10.10.3?

Re: Not happy Jan!
Hi Kevin, What actually is happening in PSE 6? Is PSE crashing when you try to launch it? If you double click a file, or drag the file to the application icon - does it open normally? The problem seems to happen when you try to open an external file from within elements using Elements File Open. Which could indicate it is crashing in ColorSync.

Re: Not happy Jan!
Ronnie, it’s not a biggy as I have PS Elements 6 on several other machines on my network loaded with working Elements 6 and can use one of them and email myself. I did notice that the Photos app took over from iPhoto, but after a short look at I am reasonably happy with that. My long-term project restoring Macs for needy people is stuck at the PPC G4/G5 level and Adobe’s Flash player is no longer supported (or rather it's that older Macs are no longer supported).

Re: Not happy Jan!
Hi Kevin, From what I can quickly find out as I mentioned previously. The problem seems to happen when you try to open an external file from within elements using elements File Open. If you double click the file, or drag the file to the application icon - does it open normally? If you are able to open by double-click, or drag/drop on PSE Icon, the fault is within the OS open dialog. Isolated to the OS Open Dialog. You might encounter the same problem if you attempt to open that same file from another application using the OS open dialog. Ok that's it I'm out of here.

I make no claim to being a luddite but like you, Geoff, Cricket Graph was a real winner in older times!
