Open certain applications on second monitor

Hi,
The display of my labtop is too small to work on large graphic files, so I would like to open Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign etc. by default on the external monitor I have connected. Other programs I like to open on the labtop screen.
Is this possible?
I have tried to work around this issue by installing the little program SecondBar in order to have the menu bar available and by creating different working spaces for single and dual monitor setup. But dialog boxes are still opened on the main display.

Window/ dialog placement is a feature of your graphics driver, so check the settings there.

Did you change any AppleID accounts or anything? I've seen this happen when changing accounts or certain restore situations.
If you are using iCloud you should be able to reset your phone to Factory Defaults and restore from iCloud, but it always makes me nervous.

Dragging application to second monitor

New Mac Mini owner with 2 displays. When clicking and draging an application from main monitor to second monitor the application "snaps" back to main monitor when I release the mouse button.

Be aware that you might have to restart LR to get the correct calibration applied as LR does not seem to be aware of multiple monitor profiles at this point. To drag the window, you need to have LR in windowed mode.

Open dialog box on second monitor?

Hi there,
I use CS6 on a system that utilises two monitors. To maximise the amount of screen on Monitor 1 used for viewing my photos, I have arranged the workspace so that my history, actions and other panels are on Monitor 2.
However, whenever I open a window, for example Image->Adjustments, it always opens the window or dialog/settings box on Monitor 1, over the top of the photo that I'm trying to edit. I then have to drag the window across to Monitor 2 manually before making the necessary adjustments.
Upon shutting down the window and then performing another adjustment, the new window doesn't 'remember' that I had last shut it down on Monitor 2, and it opens on Monitor 1 again.
Is there any way of getting CS6 to open these windows and dialog boxes on Monitor 2 by default?
Any help is much appreciated.
Andrew.

You don't include whether you cloned and restored to the drive, reinstalled the application, and whether it uses the GUID of the boot drive to 'lock' the program to a system drive.

How Do You Open an application stretched between monitors

I am using server 2008 R2 with 4 monitors (all 1920X1080). The system uses the monitors as extended desktop with monitors numbered left to right 1-4. Monitor 4 (on the far right is the main monitor. I want to open a Rockwell SE client stretched from
monitor 1 through 3. Presently it always opens maximized on monitor 4 only. I think in XP you could use VBA code. Is there an equivalent on Server 2008 R2?? Thanks in advance.

Some software packages are not able to be easily spanned. Generally it has to be designed to be multiple monitor aware.

On a Mac with two monitors, how do I get a new FF window to open on the second monitor? I can do this on a Windows XP box easily enough but on a Mac FF won't remember the position of a new window. Please help!

I proof websites for a living and workflow is everything. On my 26" main monitor I have FF running the job tracking web site. In this site, there are links to the sites I need to proof. I would like to be able to right click on a URL and select 'open in new window' and have that window open up on my second monitor.

You should be able to get into the setup of your router by typing the IP address into your browser.
Depending on your router security setup, you might need the MAC address of your iPad, to allow access to your network, if the so called MAC filtering is active.
You can also check the name of your home network if your click on the AirPort icon on your desktop of your MacBook.

Open on second monitor by default

Hello!
I'd like to know if it's possible to force Photoshop to open pictures on the second monitor by default.
Actually, I have 2 monitors, 1 for tools, 1 for fullscreen picture view.
On the "tools" monitor, toolboxes takes all the screen and pictures opens behind these toolboxes.
I ALWAYS move pictures fullscreen on the second monitor so I'd like to open them like this by default, but I don't find how...
(I'm currently on CS3 and trying CS4)
Thanks !

Hi
Same problem here with Ps CS4 :(
I also dual monitors, one for palettes and one for image viewing.
The one with the palettes also has the menubar (I'm on a Mac), so programs seem to think it as the main monitor, but for me the absolute free pixel height of the image monitor is paramount.
This is a step backwards for Photoshop the same thing happened a few versions ago to InDesign.
Illustrator CS3 is able to open windows to the same location where they were when closed InDy CS3 is not.
Both of then open new & previously un-opened (ones gotten from an another machine) under the menubar (id est, the wrong monitor for me)
Photoshop was in the previous versions able to open even the new (blank) documents on the "image" monitor no longer :( :(
Hope that the programmers will look into this, and include a fix into the updates...

Certain applications will not open after restart or waking up from sleep

My Macbook Pro running 10.9.2 won't open certain applications after restarting and sometimes after waking up from sleep. Google Chrome, Logic Pro X, Adobe Photoshop and Premiere seem to be the only progams affected. Firefox and Safari both work fine as well as many other applications. It seems to only affect programs that connect to the internet.
After a period of time the issue will resolve itself; sometimes after a few minutes and other times after several days. Then, these applications suddenly begin working again. I have also been having issues with my computer's ability to wake up. My best guess is that my computer isn't "fully waking up" upon restarts or when coming out of sleep mode. Both of these issues began around the same time and could be related. I've had both problems for several months through multiple software updates.
As far as troubleshooting goes I have done the following:
Safe Boot - (all programs work but are not effective due to lack of drivers being utilized in safe mode)
RAM/PRAM reset.
Disk Utility/Repair Permissions/Verify Disk
Any help or advice would be VERY appareciated.

Robin,
It sounds like your MacBook is logging out when the computer goes to sleep if you are getting the login window, which will of course close all your programs.
In System Preferences >Security, uncheck "Log out after.....minutes of activity".
See if this stops it from doing that.

How open Adobe Reader 9 in second monitor by default?

How can I make Adobe Reader 9.0 open always in my second monitor?
With version 8 it was at least possible to open the first document on the second monitor if I had moved the window in an previous session to that monitor and closed it there. The second and following documents always were opened in the first monitor (annoying!).
What I want is, that ALL documents always open in the second monitor. How can I manage this?

I am also having this issue.
First PDF opens on second monitor. Second one I open will open on main laptop monitor and 3,4,5 etc the same.
Would like it to default full screen on second monitor for all PDF's.

Color calibration change when opening certain apps in OSX 10.8?

Hey guys.
I've noticed something weird when opening certain applications in Mountain Lion. For one thing, whenever I open say Final Cut X, the entire color gamut changes on my display. It doesn't look bad or anything. It's almost like the computer is changing color calibrations... like when you used to be able to select Adobe RGB in the display preferences in OSX 10.6. Anyone know if this is an intentional thing when using pro applications? Because I also notice it when I open up iPhoto and when I start "screen recording" in Quicktime.

I recently started noticing the same issue after upgrading to Moutain Lion. The screen will change from a warm tone to a cooler bluish tone. I think it has to be a bug, as I've had the MBP for over a year running Snow Leopard and never noticed this. I hope there is a fix on the way as this is no good for editing photos and graphic work.

Screen corruption with certain applications

My ArchLinux install has been fine for ages, so I think my ATI card is configured correctly. However, a few days ago I noticed that when I open certain applications (mainly Picasa via Wine and OpenOffice file dialogs), my entire screen becomes corrupted.
It looks like the screen gets divided into 4 or 5 horizontal areas and when I move the mouse pointer or windows, they appear to scroll across these areas in a staggered manner.
I do recall installing Google Chrome (not Chromium) from AUR and I believe it installed a different version of "libjpeg" and "libpng" from source, so maybe this has something to do with it.
Also, when using Nautlius, I get a serious X panic (sometimes kernel panic) saying that "Nautilus is tainted".
I've tried removing these "libjpeg" and "libpng" libraries and have even reinstalled X, Gnome etc. using pacman, however, the problem still occurs.
I can recover by dropping to a virtual console and then restarting X with "/etc/rc.d/gdm restart", but obviously this isn't sustainable.
What do you recommend? If I can't find a solution, I might reinstall the box but will probably go back to Debian.
Thanks in advance!

This appears to be exactly my problem. I will try the suggested fix when I get home from work this evening.
Thanks for the speedy response. Yet another reason to love Arch Linux and its community!
Cheers!

XWindows/Quartz apps on second monitor

I have some Windows apps that I run using WineSkin (I believe uses XWindows/Quartz for the UI). After upgrading to Mavericks they would not show any display to the screen, but I found another thread mentioning that you had to reinstall Quartz after installing Mavericks. That fixed my first issue.
My second issue is when the apps open on my primary monitor on my MacBookPro, it's not possible to drag the open app to the second monitor. The mouse moves across to the second screen but the app window doesn't move with it - the window just moves off the screen and disappears. I can drag any other native OS X app between monitors and that works fine, but an app using XWindows/Quartz does not want to display on the second monitor.

Yes Maverick install is messing with X11/XQuartz. A reinstall of Xquartz fixes that.
For the monitor situation I found this on the X11 mailing list:
A work around is to go into System Preferences->Mission Control and uncheckDisplays have separate spaces.
This will put you back into a sort of legacy mode. The new dual monitor features of Mavericks won;t work but X will behave as it did before.
According the mailing list this is a dual problem. There are some changes that need to be made to Xquartz and there are problems in Mavericks. The Xquartz team can only fix there end. Apple will need to fix their end to resolve this as well.
BTW if you are not aware of it there is an Xquartz mailing list where question like this are better asked

My phone freezes, refuses to open some applications some times, switches off and restarts by itself... any idea what the problem is?

I am using iPhone 5 (iOS 7.1.2). It often switches off and restarts by itself, sometimes it refuses to open certain applications until I switch off and restart it. Sometimes it does not make a call through unless I switch off and restart.
Any idea what the problem could be and any advice to what I should do ?

Hi jallam,
If you are having issues with restarting and apps not launching you may want to try this to troubleshoot.
Since restarting has not helped, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -
