How do I have dual monitor for different windows

I wanted to use two monitors. One to monitor my file while the other as my working window. I am using Imac Intel Duo Core 17" and I heard that I need to buy the adapter. If I buy the adapter, what else need I click so that the FCE can be split into 2 separate monitors. Is there a function? Has anyone done this before?

You can change this in the System Preferences>Display, but a second monitor should default to a dual monitor arrangement. You just have to drag the windows you want onto the second monitor.

  • How do I set-up my TV as a dual monitor for my MacBook Pro?

    Hi
    I have a mid-2009 MacBook Pro running (OS X 10.8.2) Mountain Lion, and recently I rearranged my home workspace so that I can view my TV from my desk while I work.
    I would like to set-up my TV as a dual monitor for my MacBook Pro, so I can stream videos on my TV screen and have the whole screen to do work on my MacBook Pro at the same time.
    Is this possible? I've seen people use TVs as a mirror display (where it works as their main and only monitor), but never as a fully operational dual display.
    As an example, I would like to have my MacBook screen showing a desktop with the whole screen devoted to Photoshop, while I have another desktop running on my TV, which shows an internet browser or other application.
    If this is possible, what cords/hardware would I need, and what are the settings that will enable me to do this?
    - My TV is a modern flatscreen LCD, and it has two HDMI ports in the back.
    - It's about 9-10 feet from my desk.
    If anyone could help, that'd be awesome!
    Thanks.

    Yes, you can do that.
    You'll need a mini displayport to HDMI adaptor:

    and an HDMI cable long enough to reach your TV
    (look on Amazon or Monoprice for the best price on any of those parts)
    In your display options, you will just choose extended desktop vs mirrored display.

  • I'm trying to set up a dual monitor for my new iMac. I'm using a second display I used with my old G5. My iMac recognizes the second monitor but the monitor won't turn on. Power button doesn't do anything on the monitor itself.

    I'm trying to set up a dual monitor for my new iMac. I'm using a second display I used with my old G5. My iMac recognizes the second monitor but the monitor won't turn on. Power button doesn't do anything on the monitor itself.

    If it won't turn on then the monitor is dead (power supply?, video circuits?).  Not worth repairing.
    If you have a new iMac then it has thunderbolt.  So exactly what is that monitor you are trying to connect?  For TB you can connect a mini-displayport monitor.   Probably (not 100% sure with TB) can use dvi or vga too if you have the appropriate adapter.

  • Dual monitors for my macbook pro

    I want to use dual monitors for my macbook pro but I am getting mixed answers as to if that is possible. I want to use just the two monitors, so basically I am thinking I will plug my macbook into the monitors, close my macbook and use a blue tooth mouse and keyboard on the two monitors. I want to know if that is possible. Also, I am wondering about the adapters. I know that one end should be the thunderbolt and then the other end will have whatever the monitor needs (DVI/VGA) but all the adapters I see only have one place to plug a monitor in, and I will be need two.

    It is possible.
    I currently use a thunderbolt to vga adaptor and a usb to vga adaptor to run two independent monitors.
    However, the usb to vga adaptor is not great.  I'm using an Eclipse See2 UV159 but the screen does not come out as good as the thunderbolt to vga adaptor. 
    I'm currently looking for a better adaptor.

  • How to get mobile model name for different types mobile devices

    Hi,
    I have checked few thread in this forum about getting mobile model name at server. So far, i noticed the mobile name is set manually in the midlet as user-agent .
    HttpConnection connection = null;           connection = (HttpConnection)Connector.open(url);          connection.setRequestMethod(HttpConnection.POST);          connection.setRequestProperty("User-Agent","Nokia7110 Profile/MIDP-1.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.0");
    i retrieve the header information from servlet like below :-
    String userAgent = request.getHeader("User-Agent");
    How to get mobile model name for different model devices , not by manually adding the model name in midlet?
    Thanks in advance :-)

    Hi,
    In J2ME there is no method to get the model number from the device. how ever you can use the APIs provided by the device manufacturer if available. But still the APIs will not work with devices from other manufacturer or sometimes it will not work with the devices of the same manufacturer if the API is not supported. so it is better to send the device model name through the header.

    I want to exchange my iPhone 4S to 5s. My iPhone 4S is absolutely ok and working condition. How much I have to pay for this..

    Apple doesn't do that. Sell your 4S for whatever you can get. Subtract that amount from the price of a new 5s. That's how much it will cost you to buy a 5s.
