External display - how to disable internal display or to move dock

Hi,
I'm using my MacBookPro with my external monitor. Since my external 24" Monitor is big enough, I don't want to use my integrate monitor. At least I'd like to move the dock as well as the top bar to the external monitor, because my MacBookPro is not in front of me.
Any ideas?

You have several options.
First, and simplest, is just video mirroring, where the Mac sends the same signal to both the internal LCD and the external monitor. Since both screens are showing the same image, it doesn't matter which one you consider 'primary' - they both are.
Secondly you can designate which screen is primary using the Displays Preferences. Under the 'Arrangement' tab you can set the relative position of each screen (e.g. LCD to the left/right of the monitor) by dragging the screens around. You'll also notice that one screen has a mini menu-bar visible. This denotes the 'primary' screen that handles the menu bar and dock. Dragging this menu bar to the other monitor will change the primary screen to that monitor and achieve what you want.

  • How to disable internal TNEF format for mail message?

    for exchange 2007/2010
    my configuration is as follows:
    1. i've added a RoutingAgent, that catches every message that its subject contains
    a specific word, then - re-routes it into a dummy domain (dummy.com for example).
    2. i've added SendConnector that catches dummy.com in the address space, and
    routes it to a smtp listener.
    If i send mails from outlook client to another user in the domain, it seems
    that outlook wraps the smtp request in TNEF format (where the body and attachments are replaced with winmail.dat file).
    If i add a recipient which is outside of the exchange domain, the smtp request is sent well in a regular MIME format.
    can i somehow change the internal handling to simple MIME format? i need to
    relay it to an external IP...
    i tried to disable it in "Remote transport" - didnt work, because i'm routing
    those internal mails.
    thanks!

  • How to disable International Data Roaming

    Today I connected to wireless data service from my Samsung Tab from India unintentionally and without being aware of the extremely high cost of such usage.  I got an email alert and estimated charges of $ 81.92 for merely 3.53 MB.   More expensive than GOLD !!!
    I was trying to send Verizon an email to disable INTERNATIONAL DATA ACCESS & ROAMING for my Tablet BUT cannot find any Verizon Support email address to contact them.  THATS A SHAME.
    I also signed to my account but there is no feature to disable international roaming. 
    I am so scarred even to turn on my tab for the fear that the device may automatically try to connect with service providers here in India and incur big charges for me. 

    Hi Melissa,
    I don't know how the device/service started communicating via 3G when the icon on the Samsung Galaxy Tab was showing as Wi-Fi connection.  I am having this device/service from Verizon for over 3 years now & been using a lot & had no similar incident when using in the US.  
    For the fear of unintended 3G connectivity & the charges there-off, I have completely stopped the usage of my Samsung Tab in India.  It has been TURNED OFF since 10/09/13.    I will check to see if I can find Deny Data Roaming on my Samsung Galaxy Device.  I did not find any such feature on my Verizon web account.
    As, I will be back in the US by 10/28/13 -  it does not make much sense to change plans for such a short time.  However,  I would like to know if the charges can be discounted or partially waived on a one time basis and to be considered in the $ 25 / 100 MB international data package instead of $ 81.92 charged at this time.
    Thank you.

  • How to disable internal battery without a display?

    The display on my T440s is dead.  I would like to remove the hard drive before sending the laptop in.  The user guide says to disable the internal battery before moving the hard drive - but this requires access to the BIOS configuration, which cannot be done on an external monitor.
    Is it essential to disable the internal battery before removing the SSD?  If so, how can I do this?
    Thanks

  • How to disable internal storage browsing

    When you plug in a password protected iPhone to a Windows computer, you are prompted whether you want to view/copy files. Even if you disable autoplay, you can still navigate to the device and access all files. This should only be possible if the device is unlocked. How can one disable this security hole?

    Can you provide some more information. I have a 4S and Windows 7 system. I cannot get into any of my information on the phone from my computer except what shows up in iTunes. I cannot see any files or notes that I have. How are you able to do this?

  • T410s Optimus: Crashing/Freezing/Bugs in association with Minidock+External Displays

    Hi There.
    Because my new Thinkpad T410s 2912WA6 (Optimus) and it's Bugs Features are quite time-consuming while i would need a reliable system to get things done, (that is why i spent over 1800 Euros on dock+thinkpad), i have to make it short.
    1) optimus driver (nvidia/intel) crashing freezing bluescreening while docked and full hd displays over dvi attached, even still in 8.17.12.6802/8.15.10.
    8.17.12.5738/8.15.10.2154 or whatever C:/SWTOOLS contains and what was installed on delivery works fine. plz fix.
    2) want to see boot screen of my t410s optimus while docked on dvi display attached to dock. not possible for now. plz fix.
    3) i guess docking station is designed to free some space on my desk --> dock + thinkpad far away from desk --> want to wake thinkpad up by pressing a key on my usb wireless keyboard attached to dock --> does not work --> pain in my back, pain in my mind.
    plz fix.
    okay...maybe too short, here some more detailed information:
    1) Most annoying bug is the new always everything crashing nvidia optimus driver. As discussed in many other threads, there are rough problems with high DPC, freezes, blue screens. For me, i could identify nvlddmkm.sys as source of high DPC, while i had no time or not the knowledge to investigate on freezes or bluescreens.
    In Fact: My T410s, bought in november 2010 was working fine, and i had no problems aswell as i started using a mini dock plus series 3 in combination with 2 Full HD 24'' Displays on the 2 DVI Ports on the Minidock.
    In March 2011, Lenovo Update Software installed an update on the Graphics Driver (this may not mean the Driver Update was released at this date, i just ran the Update Software for the first time) was installed, the corresponding line in the Installation Protocol is:
    "Thinkpad Video Features[NVIDIA NVS 3100M Optimus] for Windows 7 64bit | 8.17.12.5738/8.15.10.2202"
    Interestingly i think the Nvidia driver version-nr didnt change, while the intel hd driver-nr was 8.15.10.2154 before.
    From that day on, with increasing frequency, win7 started to freeze, in random situations but almost always while using it docked with 1 or 2 24" displays attached on DVI, nearly never when undocked. Aswell i just saw a black screen when switching youtube videos to full screen, same issue described by other users. The Flash-fullscreen issue was fixed after installing 8.17.12.6802, inoffically posted by Jamez in another thread. However, the freezing continued and i got a blue screen everytime i sent my T410s to Standby Mode while docked, no problem undocked.
    After that, i luckily found out that under C:\SWTOOLS all drivers thet were installed on delivery can be found. I installed the "old" nvidia and intel hd drivers, since that, THANK THE LORD, no freezing anymore, everything works fine.
    What i want to tell here: For me its ok to use these old drivers for the rest of my life and i dont have any motivation to give any grahpics driver update another chance, but i guess there are other users out there, struggling with this issues so you might better send them working drivers for optimus/nvidia systems.
    2) an annoying fact aswell, and after searching google and this forum for "t410(s) optimus boot display" i dont believe that this is an individual error for me that can be resolved by recovery or similiar suicide attempts. Short and crisp: it is impossible to see the boot screen on my external Displays when Thinkpad is docked and Optimus is activated.
    Of course, there is a BIOS setting, allowing me to select the Boot Display, and it proudly tells me i can selected "Digital 1/Digital 2" for the Dock-DVI Ports, but when selecting this Option, i only have the choice between VGA, Internal, and HDMI (Digital on Thinkpad). No Digital 1, no Digital 2. As others told me, Digital 1/2 can be selected as soon as you switch from "optimus" to "descrete". But guess what, i bought a optimus system so i want to use it. I hope this can be fixed by a new BIOS-Version or any other kind of update.
    3) obviously, it is not possible to wake up a sleeping and docked t410s remotely, especially by wireless keyboard. First thing is, of course, i DONT want to attach the usb keyboard receiver directly to the thinkpad/yellow usb port. If i do so, i dont need a docking station anymore because i have this docking station for fast undocking without removing extra cables. Second interesting thing: Despite of my wish to have no cables directly attached to my thinkpad, i tried it on the yellow usb slot. my usb receiver was working (blinking) while thinkpad was in standby mode, but nevertheless, it didnt wake up on pressing keyboard/mouse. i have set the right settings in device manager.
    So, excuse my bad english, im from germany so it is quite hard for me to write down all this in english. I would appreciate comments from other users, experiencing the same problems/bugs, aswell as what lenovo staff has to say about it. thanks for your attention.

    ThinkMIke/Lenovo staff:
    Did you ever solve the problem?  I am experiencing something similar.  Somewhat similar hardware setup: T410 w/ optimus + Minidock 3 + two external monitors (using DVI and VGA ports); laptop closed.  Long ago, I "bit the bullet" and plugged wireless keyboard/mouse dongle into laptop USB port to enable waking from sleep via keybaord/mouse...painful, but used to suffice; would not work with dongle plugged into Minidock.   More recently, I have been fighting Optimus bugs that cause my system to freeze every ten minutes or so.  Recently tried switching off Optimus in BIOS. This eliminates the freezes, but now my system cannot be woken from sleep at all, and once "sleeping" eventually shuts down. (In fact, the system doesn't seem to really sleep...the fan seems to continue to run.)  This problem now persists even if I turn Optimus back on in BIOS...I seem to have moved the system to a new and different unstable state.  Any insights?
    Thanks!

  • How can I disable the internal display on my MacBook Pro with connected external display?

    I used this metod with the MagSafe power cable connected (see http://osxdaily.com/2012/06/15/yet-another-way-to-turn-off-internal-lcd-display- of-macbook-pro-with-lid-open/).
    Open System Preferences and click “Mission Control”, then click on “Hot Corners”
    Select a hot corner and pull down the menu to select “Put Display to Sleep”
    Now connect the external display to the Mac and move the cursor to the newly created sleep corner to turn off the internal display
    Close the MacBook lid and wait a few seconds before opening the lid again, the internal display should stay off while the external display will be powered on
    This worked great under Mac OS X 10.7.4, but after the last update to 10.7.5 it doesn’t work more. The built-in display turns off really, but a few seconds after opening the lid it lights up again. Do you have any suggestions? Dimming the brightness or clamshell mode is not very useful.

    I have the same problem: not able to work with my external display mirroring the internal one - while shutting the internal display off.
    I believe there is an issue with Mac OS X Lion 7.5 that Apple needs to solve, since apparently it does not happen with this version of the OS only...

  • How disable external display

    How can i disable my external display on my Imac? I use the second output for my ntsc TV, but sometimes i dont use it. If its connected, sometime apps put windows on the second display and its annoying. How can I s/w disable the external display?

    Joe,
    The Mac "remembers" where windows are, and usually will not move them back if you disconnect your external display.
    Generally what I do if I launch and app and can't see its window (because its on the non-existent external display) is click the "Window" menu, then click "Zoom". This usually brings it back to the main display.

  • How to restore display on MacBook Pro to original settings after faulty external display connection

    Rookie question, 2009 MacBook Pro.  We bought a dvi-VGA adapter to connect to an external display. Got a picture on the external monitor but very poor resolution.  Meanwhile the display on the MacBook Pro re-set itself and we were not able to restore it to normal even after we disconnected the external monitor.  We now have our MacBook Pro with messed up resolution and display, AND no external display.  How do we get the MacBook Pro back to its default display settings?  Any help greatly appreciated!

    Re: MacBook doesn't sleep when closing lid with external monitor attached with Lion     Oct 14, 2011 7:01 PM    (in response to admgtz) 
    I would like to offer this solution.  I have a MacBook Pro with an external monitor, and, for a year and a half both displays slept when I closed the MBPS.  This behavior stopped when I installed Lion.  They would sleep when I removed the power cord, but what a pain that would be.  The command "pmset -g assertions" gave no indication of which process ought be preventing sleep.
    I contacted Apple support, and after some searching, the guy working with me found this thread, which was flagged as an Apple-approved solution:

    Correct AnswerRe: How do I tell Lion to disable the LCD screen even when the lid is open?
    Aug 31, 2011 9:56 AM (in response to Bob_viking)
    Here's the command to make your laptop behave like it did Pre-Lion (courtesy of my friend):
    sudo nvram boot-args="iog=0x0"
    Works perfectly for me. If it screws up your system, just zap the PRAM next boot (cmd-opt-p-r) and you'll be back to the default Lion state. Or if you can still get into terminal, this command will get you back to Lion's default state as well:
    sudo nvram -d boot-args
    Enjoy!
    One snag was that I had to run it with the external monitor disabled, but it worked great!

  • Satellite L500 - How to show external display after closing lid?

    Hi,
    i`m using the Satellite L500-120 Notebook, and before installing Windows 7 the laptop had a very comfortable function, when i applied an external display.
    When i closed the lid of my notebook, the desktop was shown on my external display (with the native resolution of the external display), so i didn`t have to
    switch anything at the Control Panel. In Windows 7, i`m missing this function. I already tried to use the Control Panel, but there are no settings, which fits
    with the earlier ones. I can duplicate the display, in order to see my desktop screen at my external display, but with the notebook resolution of 1366 x 768.
    If i extend the displays, then there is only the background image at the external display, but this time with the native resolution.
    So my question is, how to conifgure Windows to recognize that i closed the lid, and that the desktop screen has to be shown on my external display?
    Or do i have to install one of the Toshiba applications, which i had before, that realized this function?
    Thanks for any help!

    Hi
    Im not a Windows 7 user because I will wait until it will be released offical but I hope I can help you a little bit:
    First of all in Power Management you can choose the action what happens if you close the Lid (e. g. sleep, turn off, etc.). This action should be disabled because otherwise the notebook will shut down or something else.
    Then I think you have to install the display driver for your notebook. You can try the Vista driver because the most of them are work on Windows 7.
    Then you should be able to set the correct screen resolution for external monitor.
    A working display driver is important for clone or extends monitors so check this!!

  • Two External Displays and Internal Display Over Different Connections

    Hi there.
    I'm going to be purchasing a rMBP in the very, very near future. However, I am unclear about how external displays work with this. My current display setup at work is two basic 1080p monitors that can be run over DVI, VGA or HDMI. I'd like to keep using these when I start using the rMBP but also gain the advantage of a third screen by using the internal display at the same time (so much space for activities!).
    One of the thunderbolt ports will need to be used for an Ethernet connection (there is no wireless here), so this leaves the setup needing to be one monitor run via Thunderbolt -> DVI and the other monitor run via HDMI.
    The internet in general isn't being entirely helpful with this. I'm looking for a clear answer of whether the rMBP will run the internal display and the two external displays using this setup under OS X. Some seem to believe that it won't work using different connection types, for example.
    Thanks for any help.

  • How tow connect two external displays that are not mirrored and turn of the retina display

    Hello,
    I have two questions:
    1.  Is it possible to use two external displays either mirrored or not and turn off the retina display, and if so how it is done?
    2.  Is it possible to close the MBP and use an external keyboard while using two external displays?
    I am using a music production DAW Persons Studio One-2 Pro and it would be great to be able to have this type of a setup.

  • 6290 how lock keys in external Display

    Hi All,
    Could you please advice me on how to lock keys in external display?
    What Nokia suggested in the manual does not work not either for internal keyboard.
    current firmware is: V 03.03 /09-03-07.RM-176
    Thanking you in advance

    Wow, you got really bunk advice from both Viewsonic and Apple. First off, Viewsonic are wrong. The driver has to come from them, not Apple. Furthermore, it has to be a plug-and-display driver, namely the driver that comes pre-loaded into ROM within the monitor. It sounds like Viewsonic don't have a correct one. This can be confirmed using SwitchRes X.
    Second, Apple is way off base to say you can overheat your video card using SRX. What rubbish. The only potential damage to be done with a program like SRX would be to damage the scan circuit in a really old CRT computer monitor or television. There is zero risk with modern, digital displays.
    If you install SRX, click on the "Export DDC" button and it will make a human readable text file out of the display driver (EDID) that is inside the Viewsonic. No doubt you will see that there is no mention of 1440 x 900 in the driver. Email it to Viewsonic's tech support and ask them why their EDID doesn't contain the native resolution for the monitor. Then get your money back. Either that or use SRX to configure the missing timing that should have been there in the first place.

Maybe you are looking for
