Accidentally Changed Primary Display to TV and Cant Revert

I tried to hook up my TV as a secondary monitor in windows, but accidentally made it primary. Now my screen on my laptop shows nothing and has no icons. How do I revert back to making my laptop screen the primary monitor? I cannot locate the properties screen when I access it because it ends up on the screen in which it thinks is primary and I cannot access it. Please help.

Sounds that you installed a theme (Tools > Add-ons > Themes) that isn't working properly.

  • HP p6-2120 BIOS will not give me option to change "primary display adapter" for new GEFORCE GT 610

    I am trying to change the primary display setting to "PCI Express Graphics", but the setup bios does not give me that option, how can I make that change?

    Futuros, welcome to the forum.
    When you install a discrete video card the integrated video should be automatically disabled.  This will allow for the discrete card to be recognized.  Are you having problems with the card not being recognized?

  • HP p6210f BIOS will not give me option to change "primary display adapter" for new geforce gt620

    HP Pavilion p6210f NY544AA#ABA
    Windows 7 64-bit
    Changes: Upgraded to 430 watt
    In order to upgrade my pc performance I purchased a PNY GeForce GT 620 with 1GB GDDR3. Following the instructions for pc's with onboard graphic I wanted to change the "primary display adapter" in the BIOS to PCI-e. I checked the HP website to find out where this setting is located in the BIOS. I found out that my BIOS does not even show this setting in contradiction to the image on the HP website. I installed the drivers anyway and restarted the pc hoping it would recognise the card automatically which it didn't. The card is supplied with power since it gets warm and the fan spins but the monitor only works on the onboard video-out.
    Question: How can i get the pc to run with the new card? Do i have to upgrade the BIOS? (Momentary Bios is 5.7)

    Here are the specs for your HP Pavilion p6-2327c Desktop Computer. According to the specs, this model shipped from the factory with Windows 8 installed. You will need to remove the graphics card, DISABLE "Secure Boot" and ENABLE "Legacy Support" in the BIOS, then reinstall the new graphics cards. Please see Computer Does not Start After Installing a Video Card (Windows 8) for more information about your issue.
    If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

  • I changed my Apple ID email and cant log in/log out of iCloud to restore my iPad

    I had recently changed my Apple ID email and wanted to restore my iPad because of some errors. And I cant turn find my iPad/iPhone off because it comes up as my old apple ID email, now my new one. It's been annoying me for a couple of days and decided to post here for help. If you need extra information just ask, any help is appreciated. It's an iPad Air on IOS 8

    If the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPad, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID.  When you're done, you can go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.

  • Changing iphone with the girlfriend and cant get phones right help

    me and my girlfriend changed iphones both are 16gb 3Gs's and on the newest ios and when we restored the back ups we made after changing sim cards everything is right the photo's and contacts and text but we cant seem to get the apps we had back onto the other phone or music also she has more then just the photo's she has taken and no matter what we try we cant get the apps or her photo's on to the iphones can someone help?

    let me see if i can clear things up a bit. i got the white 3Gs about a month ago and she has had a black one for over a year and half now. she loves music and her personal modeling pictures. I on the other hand just use it to text call and a few apps mainly facebook. and recently her ipod on the phone will randomly stop playing or change songs so being the nice guy i am i gave her my practically new 3Gs. no back to the problem we both backed up our iphones and then swiched sim cards and then restored from the last back ups. the Problem tho is all my apps are still on her phone and no matter what we do to when we try to resync her phone back to her account it wont add her apps to the phone or delete mine. the onlything things that have changed are the contact, the actual photo's taken by the iphone and back grounds. what i mean as in her photo's wont sync back to the her new phone is her personal modeling photo's that she keeps on her laptop they are selected and everything but when its done syncing they are not on the phone just the photo's taken by the iphone same goes for the apps the music we figured out tho

  • How do i change my display

    I changes the display mode resolution, and my Mini doesn't support it, how do i go back to it when the screen says "Unsupported Mode"?

    Do a PRAM reset > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379 It stores the screen resolution, so if you reset it, you will get the screen resolution back to factory settings

  • I changed my apple id email but cant change it on my phone

    I have changed my apple id email and cant change it on my phone now every time any app asks for my password is says its incorrect because the email is wrong.

    The problem is that you had "Find My iPhone" (activation lock) turned on, when you changed your Apple ID email address. In order to solve the problem. please follow this steps:
    Please change your Apple ID back to your old email address (that you used as Apple ID before) here:http://appleid.apple.com
    Then go to all your devices - iPhones, iPads, Mac etc. - ("Settings > iCloud") and delete your iCloud account from this devices (+ turn off Find My iPhone, but I guess it will ask you that anyway)
    After that go back to http://appleid.apple.com sign in again, and now change your Apple ID again to your new email address.
    Finally, set up your iCloud account on all your devices again.
    Now, everything should working properly again.

  • I have tried to change my User id which is an email address I no longer want to use. Now I am constantly getting requests from icloud and Apple ID for my password and cant get into my icloud account.

    I have tried to change my User id which is an email address I no longer want to use. Now I am constantly getting requests from icloud and Apple ID for my password and cant get into my icloud account.

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Primary display keeps changing

    I have a Mac Pro running 10.6.8 with 2 identical monitors.  Each time I reboot the primary display changes.  Tried resetting the primary display in screen prefs but each time I reboot the primary display shifts to the other monitor. 
    Any suggestions how to fix?

    One of my questions was what happeens if you physically switch the monitor connections to the vido card?
    Click Detect Displays too in the Displays system preferences.
    Try an smc and pram reset just for the heck ot it too.
    Another thing to try is to boot in safe mode and then reboot normally.

  • I dropped my iphone 3G last day and soon after the display became very dim and it still remanins the same..Could anyone pls help with a solution? Should I change the display or is it a minor damage?

    I dropped my iPhone 3G last day and soon after that the display turned too dim and it still remains the same.

    Should I change the display or is it a minor damage??
    Thanks for your support

    sounds like you broke the display when you dropped it.  There's nothing we users here can do for you.
    Since the iPhone warranty does not cover accidental damage, you will have to pay to have your phone repaired or replaced.  You can bring it into Apple for an out of warranty exchange in the country of purchase, or you can find a 3rd party iPhone repair store in your area.

  • How do i change the display in ADE to a single page view instead of two pages side by side? I find it distracting and prefer to look at one page at a time.

    You can increase the font size and automatically page view changes. Go to menubar; Reading -> PDF View or Epub Text Size (depending upon the ebook) and increase the size.

  • I accidentally changed a setting on my ipod touch and now it won't change back. I have had my ipod for more than two years and i dont know what to do. If i go to the apple store, would they fix it, or would i need to get a new one?

    I accidentally changed a setting on my ipod touch and now it won't change back. I have had my ipod for more than two years and i dont know what to do. If i go to the apple store, would they fix it, or would i need to get a new one? If it could be fixed, how much would it cost?

    If it is still under warranty you can call the 800 number to apple and enter the serial number and it will tell you if it is under warranty or not if not its like $30 basically for them to help or something like that it said today when i called...
    Or take it to a genius bar if you have one near?
    Or further explain what setting you are needing fixed back and im sure someone here can help you for free!

  • TS2167 I changed my header in iweb and when I published the site the font had shrunk and it displayed incorrectly. It was only on my home page, not on others. I have iweb 3.0.4. Help!?!?

    I changed my header in iweb and when I published the site the font had shrunk and it displayed incorrectly. It was only on my home page, not on others. I have iweb 3.0.4. Help!?!?

    Just in-case anyone els runs into this, I figured it out... I was working from my hotel and apperantly the fire wall was not allowing anything to uplaod, but I wasn't getting an error message from iweb, it would say that everything was published succesfully even though it wasn't. Once I went home and used my connection eveything worked fine.

  • I just bought a new PC and I have re-installed my Adobe Creative Suite Standard on it. Software open fine. PROBLEM: The toolbars (menu stuff) appear extra-small, too small for me to read... I sent on the PC setting to try to change the display resolution.

    I just bought a new PC and I have re-installed my Adobe Creative Suite Standard on it.
    Software open fine. PROBLEM: The toolbars (menu stuff) appear extra-small, too small for me to read...
    I went into the PC settings and tried to change the display resolution. This changes the size of all  the icons (not only Adobe) but it does not solve the problem when I open an Adobe application (Photoshop or Illustrator)... The PC is run under Windows 8.1 and my display resolution is 3200x1800 (but again, when I change the settings for a smaller resolution, only the size of the icons is affected. Once I open the software, the problem is still there, extra-small toolbars...). Help!!!
