Presentation only on one Monitor?

I am preparing a Presentation for 2 Beamers (Left & Right).
But also the new Keynote Provides only one Monitor Output 8(.
I cant present my Stage 1600x600 on my two Monitor Outputs
(Left 800x600, Right 800x600 ).
I have tryed the Matrox TripleHead2Go - but this provides only 60Hz.
And i need 50Hz.
Only way is to Export the complete Presentation as a Movie.
But then i can only Postion this Movie by Hand over the 2 Monitor Desktop.
What seems me a little bit unproffessional.
Maybe there is a utility which configured 2 Outputs to one Desktop Window.
So you can see the OS X Menue Bar on top over 2 Monitors.
Thanks for any Help,
Toby

Hello Justin -
What do you have the monitor layout set to, Configuration > Video > Monitors?
If you want both outputs to mimic each other, you want to use single. However, if you have it setup to use dual, then you'll only get the far-end on the first monitor, and on the second will be selfview and presentation content. It sounds like you have it set to dual, you could if you wanted, put the selfview on the second monitor when presentation isn't being sent by configuring the following:
Configuration > Video > SelfviewDefault FullscreenMode > On
Configuration > Video > SelfviewDefault OnMonitorRole > Second
Could it have been that it was working sometime before and you might have been running TC5 or earlier software. Starting with TC6 and later, the selfview behavior changed, and became more customizable, however it made all the selfview options need to be set by the user, esspecially if they were using dual screens. Details about the monitor and selfview options can be found in the SX10 admin guide, starting around pg 114-115.
Something else to check is, what is the monitor roles set to, Configuration > Video > Output > HDMI # > MonitorRole?
If you have the monitor layout set to single, then both roles should be First, if dual, then HDMI 1 is First, and HDMI 2 is Second.

How do I transfer files from my PC to mini Mac if I only have one monitor?

I'm going to be purchasing a Mac mini. I have a Windows PC running XP. I only have one display monitor, so I was wondering how do I transfer files from my XP to my mini Mac with only one monitor?
Thanks

You'd have to give us some more information in regard to the inputs of your display.
Generally, you should be able to plug your current PC into one input (DVI most likely) and then the Mac mini into another (HDMI) then flip between the inputs on the monitor via the on-screen menu.

ThinkVision L2251x - Environment Sensing Utility only recognizes one monitor

Hello,
I have a ThinkCentre M90p with two ThinkVision L2251x monitors - one attached by DisplayPort and the other attached by VGA. Both monitors are also attached by a USB cable.
I have recently installed the Environment Sensing Utility, and it works fine on the monitor using DisplayPort, but it doesn't work at all on the other monitor.
I am able to use the cameras and microphones on both monitors using other software.
My OS is Windows 7 Professional, SP1.
I'd appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks!

i had the same problem, i solved it by buying a more higher end "hdmi to vga" wire, i 1st bought a cheap conversion wire "hdmi to vga" from a slow boat from china via Amazon and it didn't work on my macbook but seems to be working well on my windows laptop.
so i bought another conversion wire via Amozon "hdmi to vga" from a company called Sewell Quirts in a 10' version.... now my mac mirrors or extend my laptop monitor, hope this helps.
and its not a "file" issue like everyone else says in here.
and my acer monitor is an older one with only a dvi and vga inputs.... using it to extend my 2014 macbook pro retina.

How to transfer from one mini to another without messing up either one. I have one monitor and two minis. I do have a firewire cable but don't want a complete transfer, just specific files.

I have done a complete fire wire transfer before but I don't want to do that. I only want to transfer certain files and leave the existing and new minis in tact otherwise. I am sure I can transfer just files. My question mostly is: I only have one monitor but will have two minis that are hooked up. Can this be done without seeing the other computer contents? I hope that makes sense. The existing mini is 10.5.8 and the new one is 10.6.

You can start one mac up in target disk mode, get file sharing set up and then disconnect the monitor. Monitor ports are very tolerant of connecting and disconnecting with the computer on.
Switch the monitor to the other computer. Start up, connect the firewire cable (after the computer has booted) and set up file sharing on that computer. You can see the other computer's contents without controlling the other computer's mouse and/or keyboard.
If the other computer's hard drive does not automatically show up, go to network settings and verify those settings as well. That should not be necessary but ethernet would give you a second option for file transfers.

Colour profiles within PS are off for one monitor only?

Hi guys,
I'm having a very strange issue with colour management in Photoshop CS2 currently.
Photoshop seems to be calibrating all documents in a strange way on only *one* monitor. If I drag the file across to the other monitor the colour is completely different.
Of course it sounds like my monitors being off, however when dragging the file across monitors Photoshop slowly updates the colours for the next monitor. You can see it display the wrong colour at first, then correct it (hopefully that makes sense).
Another symptom of it is when I go to 'save for web'. Here, the colours revert to what I believe are correct.
b It's worth noting that this has only started to happen since some Windows updates. One being an option update from Dell for my monitor - I can't seem to find any information about it though!
My tester that I've been using is a plain white to black gradient. What I'm seeing is a lot of cyan in the middle of the gradient. I've saved off an example:
http://2dforever.com/photoshop.png
As you can see, all the greys are very green, but if you look at the gradient tool in the toolbar itself, the grey appears fine.
I'm unsure how I can adjust the colour profile from Photoshop for one monitor - am I missing something really obvious here?
Just to note: I'm on Win Xp SP2, Photoshop CS2, and I've cleared the preferences.

Since you only mention Photoshop as having a problem, this is almost
certainly, as you suspect, a monitor profile config problem.
Color profiles for individual monitors are configured in
Start>Settings>Control Panel>Display>Settings>(Advanced Button)>Color
Management.
In Settings, click on the monitor whose profile you want to verify before
clicking on the "Advanced..." button. I would start by adding and
defaulting the profile for the monitor that is causing problems.
The Microsoft XP color control panel applet makes setup easier, though it
is not really necessary. If the link below fails, google for keywords
Microsoft XP color control panel applet.

If anyone edits with only one monitor, could you please post a screen shot of your 'window layout'

I'm working on the one monitor now, and all the layout I tried, is anoying me, just a little bit!

change the window layout to suit your own needs, each editor works differently,.
I did fifty projects last year, I would need to show you fifty screen shots as editors move things around for each project.

DUAL MONITOR BUG: One Picture – One Monitor – Different Colors!

There have been several threads discussing that Photoshop CS4 and OS 10.6. show wrong colors in dual monitor setups.
The first one to prove this with a screen capture was jb510-LJ0JJQ in August 2009: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2207312#2207312
Eight months and three OS updates later the problem is still there and makes professional work with more than one monitor a nuisance.
Here's another actual example: A picture and its 100% identical copy showing different colors on one screen!
Here's how to repeat it – try this at home ;-)
1) In the finder make a copy of a rgb picture.
2) Open one of the two identical pics in photoshop.
3) Drag it to the other monitor.
When releasing the mouse button you may see the bug already: the colors will "switch".
4) To verify this go to system presets - monitors - and change the primary monitor (by dragging the menu bar to the other)
5) Now open the identical copy you made in step 1) and see the difference!
Here's a synopsis of suggested workarounds:
1) disable open GL (which seem to makes no difference on my setup)
2) click "desaturate monitor colors" but set desaturation to 0 (which prevents visual switching in step 3) (only if openGL is ON) but also leads to a wrong display in step 4+5
3) make the hardware calibrated monitor your default monitor and strictly avoid changes or dragging pics to the other monitor (which seems to be the only reliable method)
4) some guys even force both monitors to use the profile of their hardware-calibrated monitor (using color sync) to make sure they see what they should see on at least that one monitor. What a stone-age workaround for the the world's leading imaging program!
Considering that reliable colors in professional (=multi monitor) settings should be the most basic function of photoshop this mayor malfunction should be solved with CS5! Otherwise we might have to live with it for some more years...
Have Adobe and Apple realized this bug and on their agenda? Will it be gone with OS 10.6.3? Can anyone explain the reasons for this bad bug? Is there a "officially" recommended workaround?
Thanks, regards,
Eric

There have been several threads dealing with this malfunction. But most faded out in silence or acceptance of the workarounds.

But man, this is no minor bug! Consistent colors are the by far most important basic function of photoshop. If you cannot rely on the colors in photoshop you can as well use "Preview" and "Word" for print production ;-)
Carson, how did Apple react to your complaint? What do you mean with "they don't get it". Do they not see it? Or can't they get it right?
Shall we open a thread at apple forums to point out that it's not the problem of a single user?

ITunes 8.0 only Plays One Song at a Time, then Stops! AARGH!

Someone, please help. I have tried everything I can think of, to no avail.
For some reason, when I play a song in my Music Library on my laptop iTunes 8.0, it stops playing after each song. When the song ends, iTunes stops; it does not move to the next song in my library, it just stops. I have to click on the next song to play that song, and when that song is done it stops.
I have tried creating Music Playlists, does not help. I have tried checking and unchecking the Repeat and Shuffle options, still nothing.
This does not happen on my iPods, only when I play songs in my Music Library on iTunes from my laptop.
If you have any suggestions for a solution, please tell me. I am beyond frustrated having to click on the next song every time.

I have the same problem with iTunes only playing one track at a time. It didn't use to be this way ... and seems to have developed after one of the recent updates (late December 2008).
I did, however, find that the problem was "solved" by checkmarking all the tracks that I expect to hear played. However, this won't work for me because ... as it has always been in the past ... I use these check boxes to tell iTunes which tracks to synchronize to my iPod. Since my desktop library is many times larger than can be loaded onto my iPod, I obviously cannot check all of the tracks.
Since when did these check marks become **ALSO** a signal to tell iTunes what tracks to play continuously on iTunes?!?
Previously, I have **ONLY** used these check-marks to signal to iTunes the tracks that should be synchronized to my iPod.
If the foregoing advice (check-marking all songs to be played continuously on **iTunes** ... then it would appear that the programmers have introduced a conflict of functions in the iTunes user interface.
The check-mark system is a simple and intuitive method to select which tracks to synchronize to the iPod ... it is not at all intuitive that you would be expected to check these **SAME** check-boxes to play tracks on the iTunes desktop.
Generally, when listening to music at home on iTunes, I prefer to listen to albums as published from the first track to the last track. Occasionally, I may wish to shuffle tracks within an album or within a genre.
However, when on the go, I sometimes shuffle music entirely. In any event, I cannot possibly download my entire library onto my iPod because of memory limitations.
In conclusion, I do not wish to tamper with my check-marks ... I know, at any time, how much memory is currently in use on my iPod and so can add and/or delete check-boxes to adjust the tracks from my iTunes main library that are played on my iPod.
Of course, then, I am massively frustrated that I cannot listen to albums continuously without messing-up my iPod library selections.
This was never a problem before ... why has this behavior changed?
This could, of course be resolved if the Apple development team added a command "Continuous Play" [On] or [Off] ... say under the [Controls] menu, logically placed above the "Shuffle" menu item.
Comments?
Does anyone on the Apple iTunes development team monitor this discussion?

Is there a way to only show some music from itunes match? my wife doesnt want to see every song we have, only the ones she likes

Is there a way to hide songs/albumbs in itunes match only on certain devices?
for example, I have a huge collection of songs, and my wife only wants to see 'her stuff' on her iphone.
or am i going to have to create another account just for her, and either rebuy or manualy store the songs on her phone?

Hi
You can only use one Apple id for your iTunes match.
At present there is no way to hide selected songs.
Whilst all the music will show on you wife's iphone, she could create playlist(s) on your computer to include only her songs.

Boot Camp refuses to display on more than one monitor at a time

Hello all,
I just recently purchased a late 2014 Mac Mini and have since installed Windows 8.1 on it via Boot Camp. While using two monitors (one attached via mini-display-port-to-DVI and the other attached via HDMI-to-DVI) they both function as expected when I am running Yosemite. However, when I boot into Windows, at first it will display the Windows logo on the MDP-to-DVI monitor (I'll refer to this as my primary monitor, and the HDMI-to-DVI as my secondary), but once it finishes booting the primary monitor goes to sleep, and the login screen is displayed on the secondary monitor. No matter what I do I cannot get it to recognize both monitors at the same time. I've verified that my graphics driver is up to date (Intel Iris 5100) and have even tried using previous versions of the driver but with the same result. The interesting part is that once I am logged in to Windows, if I unplug both monitors and then plug in only the primary monitor, it will display fine. As soon as I attempt to add the secondary monitor however, the primary shuts off and the OS is displayed only on the secondary. I have also attempted to get Windows to detect the other monitor using the display preferences but it refuses to find anything.
I've spent quite a few hours already researching this and tried several "solutions." Hoping someone out there is experiencing something similar, or perhaps has some insight on what I could investigate next.
Thanks!

bradhaan:
I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your original Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process.
This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.

My Eye Dropper STILL does not work in CS5 while using Lion with one monitor. How can i fix this?!?

Hello everyone!
This is my first post because i have grown very disgruntled at the fact that my eye dropper does not work my Premiere CS5. I would use the Ultra Key a lot but now I obviously can not really use it too well because of no eye dropper. I saw that this problem existed after the Lion update but this really should have been fixed by now. I am using only one monitor also. Is there a way to fix this or is this still known to be broken? I paid good money for CS5 and would be very upset if the only way around this is to pay MORE money to upgrade to CS5.5. Thanks.

Thanks for the response Stephen! I find this very bad on Adobe's part though if they do not feel obligated to fix CS5 for Lion. Eye dropper is a major part of Premiere and i am going to be very dissapointed if they do not fix that. With the amount of money the Suite costs, they definitly should make sure it runs well for quite a few years. I would expect a copy of CS4 to be able to work too. If they do not fix CS5 all because the OS has changed basically tells me that every 2 years or so, they stop caring about their product.
Sorry i sound so bitter about this but it has really hurt my workflow. Ultra key is great and something that FCP does not have so it has the edge in that respect, but now i can not even properly use it. I have to go into After Effects with the same clip, use that eyedropper to get the correct color # and then copy and paste the # into Ultra Key in Premiere which is very very annoying and slows down my system quite a bit.
So basically, they are probably not going to ever fix this? Thanks again

G4 upgrade now one monitor won't power on

ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED! I'VE BEEN UP ALL NIGHT!!
I put in 2GB of RAM today along with a super combo (DVD, CDRW) drive. I tested the machine with a single monitor at work, it was fine. When I got it home and hooked it up to my dual monitors, only one monitor turns on. The other one won't do anything. Now power to it at all. I tried plugging it directly into the wall, still nothing.
I switched the cords and everything and the same monitor (the one on left) turns on, but the one on the right doesn't. Can anyone help? When I detect displays, it shows I have two monitors, but I am only getting power to one. I also reset the PRAM, still did not power up my monitor.
Is there a workaround here or should I send it back? It's under warranty and everything. GoVideo Dual 19" monitors. Has anyone dealt with sending something back to Wal-Mart? Is it fast to get the replacement?

How to go back to a one-monitor setup in Photoshop?

I use Photoshop on a PC.
At home I have a dual monitor set-up, and have Photoshop stretched across them. So I place my tools on one monitor, and image in another. It works great.
I am staying at someone else's house for the summer and brought my computer along and one monitor only. Everything else about my computer is working fine, except Photoshop. It still thinks I am using two monitors. I can see the tabs, and maximize the window. But when I open Levels, or Hue/Saturation, the pop-up doesn't appear on the screen. I can tell it's appearing in the "phantom monitor", that isn't really there, because I can't do anything else in the program until I exit out of Levels (by pressing Enter, as if I were pressing OK). It's also a problem when using the eyedropper, since I can't see the swatch window that is supposed to pop up. Yet, I can see Layers, Channels, and so on. Anything that can be tabbed I can see. Anything that is a pop-up, I cannot.
This is totally bizarre. Especially because no other software I am using is exhibiting this problem.
So basically I'm asking the opposite of what most people ask: How can I return to a one-monitor set-up in Photoshop?
Thanks!

Probably one reason why they invented workspaces in later versions.
You're not seeing a 1 pixel hint of them at the very edge of the screen are you? If so you might be able to grab them and pull them into view.
Assuming you're not doing something else wrong and somehow missing the dialogs, I'm kind of out of ideas.

Just bought Photoshop Elements 13...I'm trying to make a slideshow but can't figure out how to alter duration time that the slide is on the screen. They presently move from one to another way too quickly...also need a different pan and zoom option. Wher

Just bought Photoshop Elements 13...I'm trying to make a slideshow but can't figure out how to alter duration time that the slide is on the screen. They presently move from one to another way too quickly...also need a different pan and zoom option. Where are all the options I had in PS10? Also...Can I burn this to a DVD?

The changes have brought improvements but also drawbacks compared with the old slideshow editor.
The templates are now fairly fixed but I find the “Classic Dark” gives reasonable results with some panning and you can click the audio button and browse you PC for any track. Unfortunately there are only three speed choices linked to the music track. The improvement for most people is that you can now export to your hard drive at 720p or 1080p and upload to sites like YouTube and Vimeo.

Fullscreen on one monitor, while working on the other?

Mac Pro running Maverick OSX. When I go into fullscreen with youtube on one monitor, and click anywhere on my secondary monitor: Youtube exits fullscreen.
I've tested this with another machine running OSX Mountain Lion. With Mountain Lion I can have one monitor in fullscreen while working in the other monitor.
Is there a way to do this with mavericks?
My secondary monitor is a Cintiqu 13, I'm not sure if that makes a difference.

About the only thing you can do with Premiere is export out a sequence in the background while you continue working, then bring that back into Premiere and lay it down above the original sequence.
Of course, if you wish to continue working on the same sequence, this won't work.
Background rendering would be a very welcome addition to Premiere. Hell even Encore can do that.
