23tm Multiple Monitors Touch Capability

Me Again!!
Having asked on this forum, I bought the two 23tm monitors to expand my Acer 571 laptop into a quasi desktop.
I am using a Startech USB dock for the extra video ports (USB3SDOCKHD) which gives me a DVI and an HDMI output, thus providing different a signal to each monitor.
Extend the desktop(s) and presto I have three individual monitors 2xHP 23tm and 1x laptop screen which I have set as my 'main screen' i.e. where the desktop folders appear.
The mouse follows from one screen to the next and everything is just fine
except the touch capabilites...
any gestures on the 23tm screens is mimicked on the 'main screen', perhaps I should say pointed at the main screen. I drag a diagonal on the touch screen and a shaded box shows up on the main screen. Nothing actually happens on the touch screen.
Question is: where do I find the touch set up??
This question was solved.

Awesome response. I was on the phone with HP tech support for about an hour and they claimed that the driver wouldn't work with more than 1 display. After running calibrate, I've determined that they were wrong

Multiple Monitor Capability

Can anybody advise if the MacBook allows multiple monitor capability and if so what adaptors I would need. I wish to connect my MacBook to 2 other screens.
Many Thanks

Yes - but you'd need additional hardware - one of the Matrox Graphics eXpansion Modules.

Multiple iPod Touchs with Facetime linked to a single Apple ID

I have Multiple iPod Touchs (7 to be exact) with Facetime linked to a single Apple ID using different email addresses but all connected to the same WiFi network. Problem is that when I try to call one from another, multiples ring. I can call my iPhone4 with no problems even when the iPhone4 is on the same WiFi (iPhone4 is also linked to the same Apple ID). From what I have read, this should work and, in fact, it does.... sorta. Does anyone know how to get the calls to be answered by only the iTouch that is associated with that email that I am calling?
Thanks in advance....

Hey EZ Jim,
Thank you so much for your responce.
You're welcome.
But, actually, that is exactly what I did. For example, I assiged the email address itouchone ... to the first one and itouchtwo ... the second and so on for all seven. Still, they are answering each others calls (usually multiples). For instance, I call itouchone... and itouchone, itouchthree, itouchfour, and itouchseven answer.
(1) If some or all of the seven emails you used are Dot Mac or Mobile Me email addresses, they may be aliases that will not work.
Info about dot Mac or Mobile me addresses:

(2) If the seven emails you used are literally those you posted, perhaps creating more and using each as a separate iD rather than merely caller iDs associated with only one iD could get FaceTime working.
I would start with only two iPods. Once you can make two work, you can replicate the solution five more times.
(3) Did you consider all relevant info in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4319
I am totally confused. Could it be that facetime is sending out both the primary ID and the associated id? Help!!!
Thanks again,

How do I operate multiple monitors on my HP Pavilion Slimline Pavilion s3600t?

Hello HP Forum,
I am looking to operate 2 monitors on my HP Pavilion Slimline Pavilion s3600t that currently has GeForce 7100/NVIDIA nForce 630i. I am not a computer technician and only semi-tech saavy (less than more). I was told I needed a video card; however, I don't know what I need nor how to install it. Can anyone tell me what I type of video card I need to purchase (and why) and then point me to a video or instructions on install?
Further, what would it take for a computer to operate 3 monitors? Would this computer capable of operating 3 monitors? And what would that entail/how does it compare to installing options for 2 monitors?
Thanks for your help guys!
Cheers

Let's Be Honest / Save Time: Lenovo T430s (NVIDIA) DOES NOT Support Multiple Monitors

There have been a few comments / complaints / articles around the web regarding the T430s and difficulties using multiple monitors.
But since this capabilitiy is clearly documented in all of Lenovo's specifications and marketing literature, I went ahead and bought an i7, NVIDIA, SSD, T430s with the docking station and all the bells and whistles to facilitate 3 or even 4 monitors.
Well please listen and let's be clear: IT DOES NOT WORK. Therefore, to be clear:
DO NOT BUY THIS MACHINE AND DOCK IF YOU WANT IT TO LIVE UP TO ITS MULTI MONITOR PROMISE.
In the two weeks since FedEx arrived, here is the deal:
1) I fussed around with the dock and monitors at home and the office to no avail, for most of TWO weekends. (I am not a beginner).
2) Then, I spoke to Lenovo in Atlanta's tech support for THREE HOURS. No results
3) I spoke to Lenovo's "premium support" (paid) for FOUR HOURS. No results.
4) I consulted with a 3rd party expert on mulitple monitors who was kind enough to remote into my machine for another HOUR. No results.
5) Muliple parties have confirmed that yes, all hardware is working and yes, everything can be seen in device manager, and yes, the NVIDA card is properly switched on in the BIOS, yes I bought the i7 version etc.
6) And just in case, yes, we wiped the drive clean for a factory reset, yes we unistalled and reinstalled all the drivers and yes, we even deleted the Lenovo driver just in case the NVIDIA driver was newer or better and yes, we double checked the settings in the BIOS again.
7) Yes, we tried every connector in the dock AND the laptop: VGA, DVI, DP and mini DP - in EVERY possible combination.
And NO, IT STILL DOESN'T WORK. AT ALL. Two screens, take your pick, but THAT'S IT.
Finally, not one but TWO technicians asked me to not quote them (so I wont mention any names) but that in their opinion IT JUST DOESNT WORK AT ALL, EVER, despite Lenovo's claims / insistance that it is configured for 3 and even 4 monitors.
So the final conclusion was only that Lenovo must have rushed this T430 spec / configuration / capability to market (including the glossy brochures!) before figuring out that something is missing in the handshake between the mother board and the NVIDIA card?
Or in the firmware re swithing between the Intel (internal) and NVIDA card?
Or something else which prevents the NVIDIA card from seeing the ports on the laptop or the dock?
In summary 1) you get NOTHING from the NVIDIA upgrade and with respect to more than 2 monitors, IT JUST DOES NOT WORK, AT ALL, EVER, PERIOD and END OF STORY.
I too am a die hard old school Thinkpad enthusiast and with the company's service could match their classic products.
I have an X201 that I generall love, but would appreciate more speed, an SSD and I have to drive at least 3 external monitors, using at least 1920 x 1080 resolution.
Perhaps a W series Thinkpad would work, but I also travel so going up to the T430s was already a sacrifice vs the small size of the X201.
There are some 3rd party solutions but they are expensive and not so sure how plug and play they are with 3 or more monitors - what the T430s and Mini Dock 3.0 are SUPPOSED TO DO. But they dont.
Not giving up yet, but this has been a real bummer.
PS
Lenovo was very focused, efficient, and uncompromising when charging my CC for "premium" support.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thors,
Thank you and happy to report, albeit after all the hours and now weekend number 3:
1) For the moment, I am able to repeat the 3 screen performance using mini DP from the Thinkpad and 2 DPs from the dock to the external monitors
AND
2) For the first time ever, I am just now for the first time running the 3rd external monitor from the VGA port on the dock.
That is what I meant by using the various ports on the dock, so that the Thinkpad can simply be docked and undocked without connecting the mini DP - the purpose of a dock obviously. As stated in other threads and articles, various configurations of the dock ports supposedly work to achieve 3 external screens, but until today was not able to do this.
That is the good news and thank you for all help.
The bad news is I stil have no clear idea why this has been so difficult, or where the problem lives that consumed so many hours of my own time and many hours with Lenovo tech support as stated above.
Some success seems to have happened only after more than one set of LONG updates to Windows 7 (?)
If I can replicate this set up the office (where I have 3 of the same monitors) I will be almost there.
Thank you again to all for help and support.

OS X Maverick Multi Display Support for grouping multiple monitors into one display?

Will the new Mac Pro be capable of grouping multiple monitors into one large display? Similar to AMD Eyefinity for the purpose of gaming.

The current Mac Pro, or any Mac released since 1987 that can support multiple displays can ALREADY support combining all attached displays into one Extended Desktop, onto which you can open the gaming window and game across multiple displays. It is built into the System Software.

T410 type 2516-A11 multiple monitor (and cleaning service) question

Hi guys,
I have the above mentioned model. I want to verify my understanding (from reading the forums) is correct regarding the multiple monitor setup.
This model is NOT capable of running 2 external displays + 1 internal laptop display all at the same time. I checked the BIOS and i dont see any mention of nvidia. Is there any way i can get 3 monitors all displaying at same time without purchasing a dock-3 ? I am considering simply buying another laptop (about $300 for a cheap one) instead of spending money on the dock. After all, this laptop is getting old and i need to get ready for some kind of unrecoverable crash. (I do not backup stuff, for lack of time and stuff is not work related).
The second question is on cleaning this laptop. After running 15 hrs a day, all days of the week, for past 2 and half years, this laptop has impressed me with its stability. But i had to buy a laptop cooler to hold the bottom of the laptop because it started getting hot and crashing on me every 2 days (because i run video intense app for much of the time). I am planning to take it to local fry's electronics for taking it apart and getting a good internal cleanup done on this. Is there any precautions i should mention to the fry's technician ? I am planning to backup important files, just in case the laptop dies after that. Would like to hear any stories (good or bad) after a cleaning service on T410 model.
Thanks in advance; i am planning to get this machine rejuvinated during this christmas break.

Touchsmart and Multiple Monitors

Has anyone out there actually connected an HP Touchsmart to multiple monitors? I am aware that USB-to-DVI or USB-to-VGA adapters are required. However, I learned from one adapter manufacturer out there (StarTech) that there are known issues with these adapters and the Touchsmart. Has anyone had success? esp with synchronizing video? What brand/type of adapter did you use? My goal is to get one Touchsmart and 4 extra monitors working together. thanks

When requesting assistance, please provide the complete model name and/or product number of the HP computer in question. HP/Compaq makes thousands of models of computers that are all different. Without this information it may be difficult or impossible to assist you in resolving your issue.
You shouldn't need to disable the "Touch" feature to enable "Extended Display" mode... however if don't disable it, you may have issues getting to the extended display or you may experience unpredictable results. Using a mouse should allow you to reach the alternate screen. Depending on your hardware, there may or may not be an option to disable "Touch (Use your finger as an input)" in the Windows Control Panel. You can, however, disable the touchsceen input device in the Windows Device Manager as shown below;

Before I updated today to Lion OS, my multiple monitors worked fine. Now my macbook will not detect them. Is there a solution for this?

I've been running multiple monitors for over a year on my Macbook. Updated today to Lion OSx and well Steve, it didn't just work. My macbook will not detect my three external monitors, and after scouring the last hour on Google of how to remedy this and trying the basic suggestions of restarting, unplugging, replugging, to no avail. Anyone else have a similar problem since they've upgraded to Lion OSx?

Read the first extract for the definition of backup snapshots and how they are handled by the OS.
2-Shoud I delete older backups? If for example, all I need from Time Machine is the latest backup done today, can I get rid of the 2+ yeras of backups, or do they not take up that much space?
No. Time Machine should be on a separate HDD and will take care of deleting backups when necessary on that drive.
3-Back to the issue, considering I don't have access to a an apple store for the next few months, what is my best plan of action?
I would consider installing a larger internal HDD. Capacities to 1 TB are now available.
4-I am considering buying a new macbook 15inch, and get more space, however, I'm scared that the same problem will happen again. Is this common on all macs? Will using Time Machine to "Restore" my backups bring along the issues as well?
All Macs using Time Machine will experience the same conditions. The problem is that many users do not under stand what 'Other' is and that leads to confusion. There are many essential OS files in that category that should not be touched as well as some user files. The issue is not to reduce 'Other' as such, but reduce the total amount of data on the HDD if space is becoming a premium.

NX6200TC-TD128ELF - Multiple Monitors not working

I recently picked up a NX6200TC-TD128ELF PCI Express. It is installed in the PC in my Sig. I have been using multiple monitors on nvidia graphics cards for several years now. I buy nvidia because they just work so well with dual monitors. Anyway, my latest upgrade isn't working out so well. I've tried the MSI drivers from their website, and the newest Forceware directly from Nvidia (81.98). Windows just doesn't see a second monitor attached to the DVI port. I use a DVI -> D-SUB adapter (I've tried 2 just in case the adapter was bad).
Does the NX6200TC work for dual monitors? I can't find much info about it on the web, short of an MSI press release about the NX6200TC-TD32E where they state "The card is also capable of running dual analog monitors, or an LCD and a CRT." I would assume my card should be the same, just with more memory on it. Any ideas out there, or should I RMA this thing before it's too late to do so? I've had to put in a junk PCI card I had lying around so as to get my dual monitor fix.

Hi,
We've been using a similar card - the NX6200TC-TD128E (without the LF, the full height version) in dual monitor mode OK, but we use the TV out as the second monitor (TV + D-Sub). My initial evaluation was done on the non-TC version, but that shouldn't make a difference.
I found that Clone mode (and extended desktop modes) is only available if the card thinks there are two devices attached. So it looks like the DVI connected monitor isn't being recognised.
Have you tried swapping the monitors over on the two ports and seeing if the recognition stays with the port or follows the monitor?
My earlier testing (with the non-TC version) found that the card would recognise a monitor on the D-Sub port if it saw a resistance of less than about 150 ohms between the Green output (pin 2) and 0V (pins 6-8 amongst others). Normally a monitor should present a DC impedance of 75 ohms on its R,G & B inputs - but if the monitor has AC coupled inputs it would fail the test. I didn't try the DVI port but it probably behaves in a similar manner. {I just tried it, and it does work - although this is on a Jaton PX6600, but it should still be valid}
You could try putting a shorting link (i.e. a short piece of suitably sized wire) between pins 2 and 7 on the DVI-DSub adapter, plugging in said adapter, then going to the nVidia setup. If it "recognises" the piece of wire, the first menu setting should now be nView Display Settings, not just Display Settings. [If you look at the D-Sub end of the adapter, with the wider part at the top, pin 2 is second from the right on the top row. Link it to any of the three right hand pins on the middle row. Or you could make a proper dummy load by soldering 75 ohm resistors between pins 1-6, 2-7 and 3-8 of a 15-pin plug]
An alternative method is to turn on "Force TV detection" in the Tools menu. Annoyingly, it will probably force you to reboot. Or you could connect a TV to the TV out port (before going to the nVidia setup).
Another annoying thing I have found is that some of the menu options seem to appear or not appear at whim - for instance the ability to set up a hot key to toggle Clone mode. It makes it very difficult to write instructions for others if the software doesn't behave consistently.
Anyway, I hope this helps.
Cheers

Mac pro - multiple graphics cards - multiple monitors - gaming?

Hi there
Early 2008 I purchased a mac pro, with 2 8800gts and 1 2600xt. Works amazingly well, as it was originally purchased for number crunching (video cards were purchased to take advantage of openCL in snow leopard) and more screen realestate. (3 monitors)
But the thought occurred to me... I am also a bit of a gamer...
Are there any games that take advantage of multiple video cards???
Mac or windows game recommendations are welcomed!
Thanks!

I'm sorry if my question was a little ambiguous, let me try to rephrase.
If anyone is familiar with the Nintendo DS system, you will understand that this handheld device has 2 screens.. one is used primarily as a game screen, the second screen has the game map or console or some kind of readout or whatever. Bottom line is, the game takes advantage of 2 screens.
My question to the masses is:
Are there any games in Mac OS or Windows that take advantage of multiple monitors, and therefore multiple video cards. Not SLI or Crossfire as I understand the Mac Pro hardware does not support it. My question relates to any software titles like Flight Simulators, that can render images on 2 screens connected to 2 separate video cards.
I have a copy of XPlane, and unfortunately, it only supports multiple monitors on a single video card, not multiple monitors on multiple video cards.
So, just rehashing,
Are there any games that are capable of rendering images or gameplay on 2 different video cards at the same time?
If so, what are they?
Cheers and sorry for the confusion.

Can you have multiple users working off the same Mac pro at the same time with multiple monitors but doing different things?

I'm buying desktops for a start up company and was wondering if I could purchase a single Mac Pro and run multiple monitors to allow multiple users to work on the computer at the same time. These users would be doing different tasks but I would hope to accomplish that on a single desktop. I know that screen sharing is possible but with only one user controlling both of the screens. Thanks in advance, sorry for my apple ignorance!

A lot of companies are buying or leasing laptops to be used at the office by day, and carried home at night.
Some companies are doing "Bring your own device". Bring a device to receive email -- computer/smartphone/tablet you already have, or have an allowance to buy one for your use.
If Capital is short (and when is it not) leasing computers, to be turned in a few years, can be a huge savings because the cost is expensed as incurred. The alternative is laying out cash today, but not being able to expense the cost this year. Instead, the computer expense must be recovered over their useful life (often five years) through depreciation.

You cannot shadow a session with multiple monitors enabled in Windows Server 2008 R2

Searching through the forums (and according to KB2484290) it appears that there is no solution to this problem. We are rolling out thin clients that are using dual monitors exclusively and we were very surprised to find out that we couldn't shadow
sessions with dual monitors (which to us means that we can't shadow ANY sessions). This now completely changes our approach to managing these devices.
We are running Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 with Remote Desktop Services installed. The thin clients are running Windows Embedded Standard 7 with the latest updates / RDP client. All steps have been followed to ensure that the apropriate settings and
permissions have been set up to allow access into the session.
We tested by unchecking the RDP setting “use all my monitors for the remote session”, with that setting disabled shadowing worked
Questions:
1. KB2484290 is from Dec 2010 - It's now April 2012, is there a workaround / hotfix for this issue that will allow us to shadow sessions using the native Microsoft tools?
2. Are there any recommended alternatives (software)? Free/Paid - doesn't matter we just need something that will work. I'm sure there are a few options out there but I am looking for suggestions for what people have used in the past that worked
best for them to help us narrow down the choices.

Hi,
In my experience, so far, the workaround is Remote Assistance, Remote Assistance supports multiple monitors, and is the presently recommended solution if you need this functionality. Remote Assistance is a Windows Server Feature that must be explicitly installed
on Windows Server 2008 R2; it is already installed with the client versions of the operating system.

How to set up multiple monitors

I got a 27" 3.1 gz Imac for Christmas. I need to run multiple monitors on it.
#1 How many monitors will it support?
#2 How do I hook them up to the Imac?
#3 What hardware do I need in order to do this?
Phillip

This link is talking about using the Imac as a display for another computer. So basically, this article is telling me how I can use my Imac as a display monitor. That is not what I am trying to do.
I want to use multiple monitors on this Imac.

Wanting to use multiple monitors on HP hpe210Y w-DVI-I and HDMI. Audio: 5.1 Surround

I have a HP Elite hpe210y with only two outputs of which are: 1) DVI-I and 2) HDMI. My situation is that I have 2 new HP Monitors with VGA Cables. I have an adapter for DVI-I to VGA and also VGA to Dual VGA. I do NOT want the monitors to work as Duplicates however. I want the second monitor to be an extension. I am also interested in getting even 2 more monitors in teh near future for a total of 4.
Is there some way I can get two monitors to work off one DVI-I ?
Will I be able to upgrade to up to 4 monitors?
Is there a part I need?
Wanted to mention that my OS is Win7 Home Premium 64 bit. I use IE9, Chrome and Firefox
I would of never bought this from Best Buy if I had known in advance that there was just the one regular output. I see they have one called a Phoenix which I may look into.
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

>Is there some way I can get two monitors to work off one DVI-I ?
I've not yet seen a solution for that.
You can use a hdmi2vga adapter for the second port.
>Will I be able to upgrade to up to 4 monitors?
>Is there a part I need?
you can try one of these:
http://www.evga.com/products/pdf/100-U2-UV19-TR.pdf
http://www.amazon.com/Kensington-Universal-Multi-Display-Adapter-Black/dp/B002F9NSMQ/ref=pd_cp_e_1
http://aluratek.com/usb-2-0-high-resolution-vga-adapter
They will use your current graphics device.
If you are looking for a new solution - I've read about DisplayPort version 1.2 that can do 'daisy-chain connection' with multiple monitors. But this you have to 'google' yourself.
