I have two screens on my Apple Mac and could extend work across both. Now updated to Mavericks and cannot do this. What can be done to restore my original functionality?

I have two screens on my Apple Mac and could extend work across both. Now updated to Mavericks and this no longer works. How could I restore the previous functionality? Is somethong wrong?

Hi Eustace.
Thanks for replying to my problem. After posting I noted the "More Like This" box on the right of the screen. The top topic was "Restore old dual screen functionality" and turned out to be the the same question with a surprising answer - in the "Mission Control" dialogue, NOT the "Displays" dialogue. There are five tick boxes at the top of the Mission Control screen and the last of them is "Displays have separate spaces" and this box was ticked through the loading of the Mavericks op. system (presumably). Unticking this box, as advised, restored the 'extended' mode and all is now well.

  • I have the latest Lion and Safari.  I am having great troubles with Safari in performance.  FireFox works great, but Safari updated 5.1.2 is awful.  What can be done to fix the latest version?  I have tried everything!

    Is Apple going to fix Safari 5.1.2?  It has been a nightmare for since the update.  I only had my Mac for a short period of time and didn't have the problem when I started. It all started when the update was loaded.  It is puzzling when Mozilla FireFox works better, but slower than the Safari.  I was told this browser was the best to use for Macs.  I am not seeing it!  I have empty the cache, reset Safari, and reset the prefences.  I still can't images, server not found error, or best yet-not connected to the internet when the news ticker is running.  What more can I do so I can make use of Safari?  I am tired to reset and clear cache every time I wish to go browse.
    Thank you!

    Hey, everbody:
    I finally threw in the towel and called tech support since it is free for me for the moment after making my post this morning.  They fix my Safari problem!  First, they had me do a shut down and unplug the computer for 30 seconds.  This idea didn't work for me.  Then they had me go and change my DNS from my IP address that was listed to the following:
    Go to System Preferences
    Click on Network
    Click Advance
    Click on DSN
    Under DSN Severs there is a plus sign.  Click on it.
    Type: 8.8.8.8
    Add another by clicking the plus sign and Type: 8.8.4.4 
    Go back to the beginning--main page and push the Apply button and then close.
    Open Safari to see if that works
    This works!  So far my Safari 5.1.2 is working like it was before the update on Lion and Safair package!  I hope this will help some of you.
    Thank you for trying to help me with my intitial question, but it turned out that I needed help from support and fix my DNS.  This may not work for all of you, but I hope for some it can relieve the stress.

  • I have two ip address on my machine,I want to directory server listen in one of the ip address(port 389) .what can i do

    i have two ip address on my machine,I want to directory server listen in one of the ip address(port 389) .what can i do,now it is listen on 0.0.0.0

    Hi,
    Can you please show the current link? (the docs.iplanet.com is no longer valid)
    I also have multiple ip addresses on my machine. When I login into the admin server, it always thinks it's one of the secondary ip addresses, which aren't granted access rights.
    For example, if I go to configure a different port number for the admin server, it won't let me, because it thinks I am on one of the ip addresses which aren't allowed to access it.
    Thanks.

    Your contacts are helpd on the server, so if you sign out from your iCloud account and sign into another one they will disappear. If you sign back into the original account they will reappear.

  • My Mac Book Pro has become slow on Facebook and continuously gets popups on safari after updating to mavericks

    My Mac book was running perfectly fine before I updated to mavericks and now I get flashy "you won" popups and others that slide across my screen. I have pop up blocker on and have continuously restarted my safari and cleared it. Nothing seems to work I think I have a virus. Please help!

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

  • TS2198 ical (the calendar program) that came with this apple mac pc suddenly stopped working, then disappeared from the computer, from the desktop where I have been using it for the past two years, without trouble, then from the list of applications. . .

    ical (the calendar program) that came with this apple mac pc suddenly stopped working. When I pulled the icon from the desktop, it then disappeared from the computer.I have been using it from the desktop for the past two years, without trouble. It has uninstalled itself, without my intervention and has eradicated all traces of it, including all my entries from the computer memory. There is no program in the applications list. Can you say why this may have happened please?

    I opened one of the .calendar folders. There was a folder named Events which had either one or some files ending .ics. I opened several of these, which put up a dialogue window showing some parameters with data strings attached as follows :-

  • I have two screen on my PC. Adobe always opens on the second screen. I would like to change this. Ho

    I have two screens on my PC Adobe always opens on the second screen. How do I change this to open on the first screen.

    It should (should) stay where you close it from, especially if you have it maximized on that monitor. I can't guarantee that because I'm having the same problem with Firefox this morning. I always open it on my secondary montior, and today it will only open on the primary.

  • I have two phones on one apple ID. After one updated yesterday on icloud it automatically took my contacts off and put the other ones on there. They still show up if I actually type them in when texting but not in the list.

    I have two phones on one apple ID. My son updated to icloud last night and when he did it took my contacs off of my phone and put his in there. When I go to text the numbers I can still find but when I click on the contacts they do not show. Is there a way to change this without restoring the last back up?

    You'll have to migrate one of the phones to a different account, then delete the other person's data from each account (you can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and app stores). 
    Decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account.  On the one that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll. 
    Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.
    Finally, go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't from each account.

    If you are using two iPhones on the same Apple Account by using the same Apple ID you can remove one by following the following:
    Choose Settings > Store and tap Sign out
    The apps and such should remain. If you want to clear all of that you can do the following:
    The Erase all Content and Settings feature under Settings/General/Reset will remove your content and settings.

    Hello, I have two iphones but one Apple ID. How can I use localization apps for a dedicated device? Tx

    On the iPad open Settings/iCloud and delete the account using the button at the bottom. Once deleted log in using the other account. For iTunes Stores use Settings/iTunes & Apps Stores, tapp on the Apple ID at the top then sign out. Once done sign in using the other account. Once you are happy with the changes plug your iPad into your computer to update the backup.

    I agree with Chris CA that this is the way I would *expect* iTunes to behave.
    When I look at iTunes from my account (my music is in ~/Music/iTunes/ and not available to my spouse's account), I can see in my music library all my rips and my purchases, just as I would expect. I can use Store>View My Account (<myAppleID>) and all is as expected. Home sharing is NOT on.
    Doing the same from the other account is not much different, actually. Nothing in the library yet, of course. Store>View My Account (<herAppleID>) also works. I CAN authorize my computer to play her music. I CAN view her iTunes purchases. When I attempt to download the purchases to HER library, though, I get the following dialog box:
    Now I interpret this to mean that this computer (mine) will not download from a different AppleID (also mine) for 90 days. Is that [interpretation] correct?
