Second Computer as Extended Desktop?

I want to use my second older iMac as an extended desktop, when no one is using it, for my newer iMac, is this possible to set up or only non-computer displays can be extended desktops?

  • Can my computer display 'extended desktop' with a second monitor?

    I believe I have a G4 Quicksilver 867 (2001) (bought it used and figuring out which model G4 is not that easy). I recently got a second monitor, but I only seem to have the option to have a mirrored setup (which works well). Is there anything I can do or rather what are my options to get it to show extended desktop. My video card is
    Chipset Model: GeForce2 MX
    Type: Display
    Bus: AGP
    Slot: SLOT-1
    VRAM (Total): 32 MB
    Vendor: nVIDIA (0x10de)
    Device ID: 0x0110
    Revision ID: 0x00a1
    ROM Revision: 1049
    Will I have to get a new graphics card or is there a workaround of some sort?

    Thanks, not what I wanted to hear, but helpful. hope you'll answer a couple of questions. I bought this computer as a second (do taxes, surf the internet, connected to my wireless router, escape my three kids wanting to use the primary). I've been very happy with it for its limited use (my primary is one of the first Imac G5's).
    1st: Do you think it's worth putting a faster processor in it? My G5 has the latest OS, but I'm hesitant to go past 10.411 with the G4 867
    2nd: Would you recommend a video card update to run extended desktop?
    3rd: Can you run extended desktop on the original IMAC G5's (1.8 ghz, GeForce FX 5200, 64 mb ram)?

  • Extended desktop lows resolution

    Hi all.
    First of all i would like to thank you for helping people like me to solve their problems all around the world.
    Did someone experiencied this?
    I couldn`t set an 85HZ when my resolution was at 1024 * 768 and 32bits color quality. So I tried doing everything I find in this forum and in the nforcershq forum... nothing seemed to work... and finally........ in one try of uninstalling and installing de nvdia drivers, I uninstall the second monitor listed in the device manager, so when I went to the display properties I didn`t have the second display active(Extend Desktop in this device) and 1024*768*32bit*85hz AVAILABLE. There was the simple answer, when activating the second device(TV in my case)the first device(monitor SyncMaster753DFX)refresh rate lowed from 85HZ to 60HZ with no other choices.. the only thing I could do was to turn to 16 bits color Quality to get back the 85Hz rate.
    Does someone understand what is happening?
    Does anyone know if its possible to correct this situation?
    Tanks in advance.  
    I have a K7N2G-L and 512DDR266PC2100(spectek) in slot 3, XP SP1  

    if i understand correctly, yes this did happen to me. i believe this happened when i installed the gpu drivers from the msi site. my refresh was stuck at 60hz. i was able to solve it by changing from -clone- to -standard- in display props. now use nvidia unified drivers with no above problem.

  • MacBook Extended Desktop Issue (ViewSonic vx2235)

    MacBook as far as i know only supports mini-DVI to "_" adapters. I'm using the midi-DVI to DVI adapter. i find myself clicking detect display multiple times before the mac initialize the external monitor. ...and when it does it sometimes doesn't recognize the name of the monitor and labels it display, or it starts up at a 90 degree angle. could it be a driver issue thats causes this?
    In addition, I use some audio editing software in windows. It shows that the computer supports extended desktop, but no action is on the monitor. Could it just be a hardware problem?

    Go to System Preferences -> Displays -> Arrangement
    and check/adjust the positions.

  • Using a second computer (an iMac) as an extended desktop monitor

    Hello
    I have a powerbook g4 and would really like to use a separate older iMac as an extended desktop. Is there a way to turn the iMac into just a monitor recognized by my powerbook?

  • Installing LR5 on second computer that is a Macbook Pro; 1st computer is desktop PC

    I recently purchased a Macbook Pro to use for my photography work because of its exceptional display.  The Macbook Pro will be my second computer for working with Lightroom 5.6 and Photoshop CS5.  My first computer is a desktop PC operating Windows 7.  Is it possible to extend my license to two computers with different operating systems?
    Many thanks,
    John
    [personal information removed]

    Dave thanks for the response and info to my question concerning Lightroom
    and two different operating systems.  I was almost sure that there would be
    complicating issues concerning a multiple operating system installation.
    Doesn't sound to complicated though.  I'll give it a try as soon as I
    purchase an external DVD drive for the Macbook.  I tried to contact Adobe
    concerning this question, but their response system is so convoluted that
    it would probably be easier to mount an expedition to Mars than have
    someone from that company respond to a simple question.
    Thanks again,
    John

  • HT5019 If my second display is not showing up on the graphics display window, yet the second display is showing a mirror image, how can I get it to recognize the second display and allow me to setup extended desktop?

    I'm running 10.9.2 on a Power Mac from 2013.  I am using two identical HP monitors.  I have a Y adapter to connect the monitors.  Which I'm guessing means the computer is only seeing one display since there is only one display output. 

    There are no PowerMacs from 2013.   The desktop tower from 2006 on got named Mac Pro.    The problem is probably the Y adapter.    You need a videocard with two display ports, or two videocards to be able to make an extended desktop from one to the other.  If you gave us the Y adapter make and model, we could tell if it supports screen spanning or not.

  • 24"iMac....adding second monitor...... mirror or extended desktop?

    I have a new 24 inch aluminum iMac.
    I also have a year old 23 inch Apple Cinema display that I was thinking of adding as a second display.
    If I did, would that mirror my existing display, or would it allow me to extend the desktop that I already have?
    I would like to extend the desktop. If I could do that, what connector would I need to get to make that happen?
    Thanks for the help and advice.

    You will be able to choose mirroring or extended desktop in the "Arrangement" tab of "Displays" system preference.
    You will need a Mini-DVI to DVI adapter

    If the display is the old 23" with the plastic case and ADC, you will also need a DVI to ADC adapter

  • Second display extended desktop?

    I just hooked up my second monitor.
    When I bring up displays it gives me the mirroring option.
    When I click it I get the same as the first monitor.

  • Cannot see apps in cc desktop to download on second computer

    I just installed cc desktop app in order to install photoshop on my second computer. It is not showing me the version I purchased, CS6, it only shows the ability to "TRY" Photoshop CC2014.

    Actually, you SHOULD install your CS6 using the media you already own (discs in a boxed set, or the download files you purchased) not the Cloud... that is IF you have a serial number

  • How to setup extended desktop with second dispay

    I am not able to setup a second display for use with my new 2.3 i7 MacBook Pro, running Lion.   I can run the displays mirrored.  If I try extended, I get the dock and menu bar on the second display and the prefs window on the 'book display.   The cursor remains firmly with the second display and cannot be moved to the 'book display, forcing a power button shutdown to right things. 
    The same monitor, an Eizo, runs perfectly in extended desktop with 10.6.8 on my year older MacBook Pro.

  • Tablet PC calibration error in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator CS3 whilst in Extended Desktop Mode

    Hey everyone!
    I've run into a snag which hasn't bugged me before because I never used a second monitor, but now that I do, Photoshop and Illustrator don't function properly.
    I am running my Adobe products on my Lenovo X61 Thinkpad Tablet, which is Wacom PenEnabled. It's got the basic digitizer pen and pen pressure features, no stylus tilt or anything.
    Whenever I run Photoshop or Illustrator in Extended Desktop Mode so I can have a different window open on my external monitor and the Adobe app on my tablet screen, my stylus goes strange. It seems to think that the extended desktop is part of the Adobe window, so when I move my stylus to draw, the cursor will appear on the external monitor, usually proportionate to the size of the screen...ie. It interprets the external and tablet screens as one desktop and the top left corner of my tablet screen is the top left of my external, whilst the bottom right on tablet IS the bottom right on tablet, if that makes any sense...sorry.
    So I can't draw anything in photosho unless I set it back to standard desktop mode, or mirrored desktop. I've searched over the net and these forums and I can't find a fix for this. I was walking in harvey norman the other day and the Wacom Cintiq 12" was there on display, and it had the same issue with extended desktop and photoshop.
    Has anyone had this issue before and/or does anyone know of a fix for it? I'll keep searching around and playing with the computer until I fix it and I'll post any solutions I find here if noone else has one.
    My system details are:
    Abobe Photoshop CS3 10.0.0
    Adobe Illustrator CS3 13.0.0
    OS: Windows Vista Build 6001, Service Pack 1, 32bit
    RAM: 2GB
    HD: 18.2GB free Disk Space (out of 66.3GB on the Active Partition)
    Video: Intel GMA: Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family

    I'm using an HP tx2011au tablet pc, using adobe flash cs3 and have the exact same problem. it becomes decalibrated only while the flash window is open, and only while flash has a file open, and only when using an extended desktop. even if flash is open and it has no files open it works fine.
