Why is one of my dual screen grayed out when in full screen mode on the other?

I just added a second monitor for an extended desktop. When I go into full screen mode on one the other greys out. Is there a way to fix this or am i stuck? thanks!!!

No that is just the way it is. Apple still can't figure out how to do full screen apps. When you put any app into full screen mode it make a second desktop to run that app on. When that happen the second monitor, in a dual monitor setup, has nothing to do as everything is on the main monitor in different desktops.
You'll have to just expand the app to the max window size instead of going into full screen. Then you can drag/place different apps on each monitor.

  • Appearance on screen (via projector) when presenting  - full screen or not?

    How do I control / determine how keynote uses the "full screen" to run a presentation? I am anxious that when I have to run it through a projector it will appear too large or too small - any tips re using Keynote with a projector - as I have not done that yet but will have to soon.
    Also - what does the slide size on the initial drop down box control? using this I can make the photos I bring in very large, but to large to be practical - what is the purpose of this sizing control?

    << How do I control / determine how keynote uses the "full screen" to run a presentation? I am anxious that when I have to run it through a projector it will appear too large or too small - any tips re using Keynote with a projector>>
    Once the computer and projector are connected and operating, first go to System Preferences > Displays and click on the button "Detect Displays." This will show you the current settings for the resolution of both displays. Adjust these if/as necessary to produce a proper image on both your computer and the projector.
    One useful tool to check and adjust these settings is to use a "test pattern" slide. You can find several from which to choose (and copy) by searching Google for the words "test pattern." (The old "Indian Head" test pattern is always fun.)
    Next, if you will be using the projector for presentation to your audience and your computer display for your Presenter Notes, be sure that "Mirror Displays" is NOT checked in the System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement window.
    Now, in the Keynote Preferences > Slideshow Preferences menu, check the box "Scale slides up to fit display." This will ensure that your slides fill the projection display properly. Then check the button "Present on Secondary Display" to assign your presentation to the projector and in the Keynote Preferences > Presenter Display Preferences menu check the box "Use alternate display to view presenter information; this will put the Presenter notes and cues onto your computer monitor.
    You also might want to try checking all of the other boxes in this menu; the information this will put on your screen will be very helpful while making your presentation.
    Good luck.

  • "Access Control - Do Not Inherit" Grayed out when setting up a backup on Server 2008 R2 when trying to use remote NAS

    I see one response here:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c99eead0-e2fc-4c83-8cb2-959d03512667/server-2008-r2-dc-backup-greys-out-do-not-inherit-option-for-file-share-backup
    But it makes no sense to me. Running that command doesn't do anything.
    How do I make the box stop graying out when setting up a backup with the GUI interface? This should be really simple I would think and for some reason the backup utility is graying out the "Do Not Inherit" option so I can backup to the NAS
    device that has access control enabled in order to backup to the NAS.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    From this article, it mentioned that it is by design that we cannot choose "do not inherit" in backup schedule when backup target is a remote shared folder.
    Checklist: Schedule Automatic Backups
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732540.aspx
    If you use a remote shared folder, make sure that the folder is available, that you have write access to the folder, and that you are a member of the Administrators group or Backup Operators group on the computer hosting the folder. Each time you create
    a backup, it will overwrite the older backups so that you will only have one backup at a time.
    The backup will inherit the access control list (ACL) permissions of the folder.
    For the account it required, as mentioned above, it should be "a member of Admin group or Backup Operators group, and it should have write permission on target folder".
    Also map a network folder as a drive will not help show the mapped drive letter in backup destination. It is still a remote shared folder.

  • Why is my app screen grayed out?

    When I have my updated (4.3) iTouch connected and I am looking at iTunes, why is my app screen gray and non-clickable? I can access every other page (music, tv shows, etc) but not apps?
    I must be doing something wrong, right?

    Got it I had restrictions enabled on my iTouch - to keep my toddlers from inadvertently purchasing apps.
    Shew!

  • Cannot Approve Journal Batch (Button grayed out in More Actions screen)

    Cannot Approve Journal Batch (Button grayed out in More Actions screen)
    The Journal Batch Approval notification goes to one or more approvers but when any approver opens the journal and tries to approve, the approve batch button is greyed out and nobody can approve the Journal batch. The approver has every authority amount and other wise.
    Any idea what might be wrong? Do I need to setup something in Preference pages etc.,?
    Thanks for your help.

    Are you looking at the Workflow Notifications page or GL page. Please give me the navigation used to reach the page. Typically in workflow notification details page, the Response buttons are either displayed or hidden based on whether the notification has a Result Type attached or not. I don't think they are greyed out based on any rule.
    Workflow notifications does not check the approval authority by itself. Ann appropriate workflow notification with right content and result type should be sent based on the approval authority checked in a previous function activity.
    Thanks

  • Difficulty sharing screen--grayed out

    I set my mother-in-law up with a Mac Mini so that I could troubleshoot problems when she needed help. The ability to share screens via iChat is the main way we want to do this.
    But when we were both on iChat, the ability to share her screen was grayed out. Under her video menu, "Screen Sharing Enabled" is grayed out.
    Anyone have any idea what the problem might be? I can successfully share screens with others.
    Is it an issue with the Mac Mini? Is a video camera and microphone required to share screens?

    A Camera or Mic is not required to Screen Share although the Screen Sharing in iChat does include an Audio feed.
    I have tried turning Off Share Screen option then selecting Microphone Enabled which in fact then Disables it. I can still turn On Screen Sharing again.
    There is also a Show Audio (Video) Status (in the View Menu) which turns the Buddy Video and Audio icons Off. But these do not seem to effect things either.
    Does she have System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming set at 1.5Mbps ?
    She will need to Restart iChat if she has to change.
    Having said this, in Leopard if left at Automatic, iChat would be limited to 384k anyway which would be fast enough for Screen Sharing.
    At this stage I am at a bit of a loss as to a Fix per se.
    I would get her to try a Restart of the computer whilst holding down the Apple Key + ALT PR keys together until she hears three start up Bongs.

  • TS1559 Wi-Fi on my iphone4s is grayed out and I think this happened after the update 7.0.4. I went to apple store and they turned me down that there is no support in the 2nd year. Extremely disappointed and no way except to pay and get replacement. Pls ad

    Wi-Fi on my iphone4s is grayed out and I think this happened after the update 7.0.4. I tried all possible solutions through apple online support and then went to apple store as a last resort and they turned me down that there is no support in the 2nd year. Only option is to pay 160 pounds and get replacement. When I argued further, they said that if I had bought the iphone directly with them, they would replace me without any cost. This is even more frustrating.
    THIS IS TOTALLY UNFAIR as its not my fault. If the release of faulty 7.0.4 software is timed in my 2nd year of contract and since I didnt buy the iphone directly from Apple, how is it fair to ask me to pay for replacement. Its not my fault after all.

    Because you are outside the one year hard ware warrenty, Apple covers for the first year on their dime, if you had a two year contract why not make sure you have a two year insurance on your phone?
    Either way as I can see/assume you are from europe you can look at your consumer laws to see if you qualify for anything there, beyond that it isn't the software that broke the device, it's a hardware failure because thousands upon thousands are happy and content with iOS 7.0.4

  • ITunes high pitch noise when in full screen on 27" iMac11,1

    Hello,
    When running iTunes 10.5.1 in full screen mode on Lion 10.7.2, I get a faint, high pitch noise coming from my speakers.  If I run iTunes in a refular window, the noise does not manifest itself.  I can switch back and forth between one full screen app and iTunes, and the noise goes on and off and only manifests itself in iTunes.
    Has anyone else experienced this?

    I think I've found a workaround.  The problem doesn't only happen in iTunes, but also in the Finder's list view when in full screen.
    The workaround is to use Shades, a small utility that creates a uniform black color mask over my screen.  All I had to do was set the brightness of my screen to 100%, run shades and lower the "brightness" using that utility to something comfortable for my eyes.
    I think the issue comes from the high frequency flicker that the LED back light uses when the screen is being dimmed.  For some reason, the speakers pick up on it when in list view... Why only list view?  Beats me.
    Anyway, the Shades prefpane can be downloaded from the following URL:

    I hope this helps.
    All the best!

  • When viewing full screen video in netflix watch instantly, the picture freezes while the audio continues streaming

    When watching full screen video in firefox the picture freezes and the audio continues streaming. I had at first thought this was limited to netflix but now see the same problem when viewing flash video sites. Once the picture freezes the computer has to be rebooted. This only happens in firefox. Explorer streams perfectly in fullscreen. The problem began after updating to firefox 3.6 as I had no problems prior to that.

  • I have a new Macbook Pro.  When watching Youtube videos, it works perfectly until I attempt to watch the video in full screen.  When in full screen, the video freezes immediately and the audio continues.  When minimized it works fine as before. Help?

    I have a brand new Macbook model A1502.  I am taking online college classes that incorporate youtube tutorial videos.  I can watch the videos if I don't maximize the screen to full screen.  When in full screen, the video freezes immediately and the audio continues uninterrupted.  I can press escape and go back to the previous screen and the video continues to play with no problems.  Can anyone help me please?  This machine is literally just out of the box with maybe an hour of use.  Thanks in advance

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.

  • Dictation is not working in the reminders app on iPhone 4s IOS6. The microphone is grayed out. How do I re-enable the microphone?

    Dictation is not working in the reminders app on iPhone 4s IOS6. The microphone is grayed out. How do I re-enable the microphone?

    One day I tried to dictate a note and discovered the microphone was grayed out.  As someone suggested I did a hard reset of my iPhone 4S and that didn't solve the problem.
    Then I had an epiphany.  I use the Notes app a lot and have a lot of Notes stored in the app.  I tried deleting some of my many notes and "viola!" the microphone is black again.  My guess is the app has some kind of storage limit and when you hit that limit, the microphone is automatically turned off.  Anyway, that's my theory and I'm sticking to it.
    Hope this helps.

  • ScreenSaver coming on when in Full Screen Mode

    Hi Guys,
    My father-in-Law got the Quicktime pro 7 for windows, I still haven't been able to get him to buy a mac... but that's another story. When we installed the software on his laptop, everything works fine, but when watching an .mp4 file, we noticed that along the way every 15 mins the screensaver would take over the screen, we where watching in full screen mode, this of course it not right cause in my Mac, no screensaver takes control away from quicktime in full screen mode. We had to reset the screensaver to never for us to watch the .mp4 file.... please fix this in the next windows update. Or let's us know what settings to use for this not to happen. Thanks

    Most screen savers allow the user to set the "time" when they start.
    Set the delay longer than the QuickTime file.
    Send to "Feedback" to request changes in the software. This one bugs me at times, too.
