Airplay to mirror secondary monitor

Hello,
I have a Mac mini (2011) with two monitors. Airplay seems to always mirror the primary monitor. Is there a way to mirror the secondary monitor?
Your help is very much appreciated.

I have NOT tried this myself...

HT201335 Apple TV - mirror secondary monitor

I'm using a secondary LED display attached to my MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion. I have the desktop stretched across the secondary display so I can throw pallets, menus or a browser running my fav video training (not available in iTunes), onto that monitor and out of my way while I work.
Can I mirror the secondary monitor instead of the primary to Apple TV? So far, I've only been able to mirror the primary.
Thanks in advance.

That is different.
I have an iPad 3rd generation and an Apple TV 3rd generation and not having that problem.
iOS 7.0.4 and the latest Apple TV firmware of 6.0.2
What generation of Apple TV ?
What firmware on the Apple TV ?
More thinking and info is needed here.

AirPlay Screen Mirroring (Mavericks) disconnects frequently with "Feedback taking too long to send" message

My company has several TVs with AppleTVs (3rd generation units) connected in our conference rooms so we can "Screen Mirror" our Mac laptops via AirPlay during meetings. Many employees have complained that AirPlay Screen Mirroring drops frequently during meetings for no apparent reason.
In attempts to determine the cause of the issue, I removed the AppleTV units from Wi-Fi and hard-wired them all to the LAN (100Mbps/Full duplex, no switchport errors seen on the Cisco switch). I upgraded the AppleTVs to the latest firmware. I had our AppleTV users ensure they were running MacOS Mavericks with the latest software updates installed. I had the Mac laptops hard-wired into the LAN during meetings in the conference rooms. None of these changes resolved the AirPlay issue.
I reviewed the MacOS "/var/log/system.log" file from the laptops of several users that reported issues. I found a pattern that seemed to indicate that the "coreaudiod" process reported "Feedback taking too long to send" several times before the AppleTV connection was terminated. Also, from a network trace (using "tcpdump") taken during an unexpected AirPlay Screen Mirroring disconnection, I could see that the Mac laptop sent a TCP FIN packet to the AppleTV unit (this would indicate that the MacOS laptop initiated the closing of the AirPlay connection).
I have included the relevant log file entries below. Please note that the LAN internal to our company is "solid" and there have been no connectivity issues detected or reported during the times the AirPlay sessions were disconnected.
I believe I have found a workaround to this issue. By going into "System Preferences", "Sound" and then changing the "Output" device BACK to the "Internal Speakers" (rather than the AirPlay destination), the AirPlay Screen Monitoring connection seems to remain stable.
My questions are:
- is anyone else experiencing this type of problem? any other solutions recommended?
- is there a way to change the AirPlay defaults so that Screen Mirroring only sends the video (not audio)?
- does anyone know what the log file entries indicate (like, what does "Feedback taking too long to send...." mean)?
- any fix planned for this issue?

I'm currently still experiencing this as well. I've confirmed it occurs on 10.9.1, 10.9.2, and 10.9.3 on MacBook Pro Retina's, Mid-2012 and 2013 MacBooks. It happens on multiple ATV's not just one, all are updated to 6.1.1 and a simple reboot seems to fix it temporarily but it does come back. All the ATV's are connecting to the network via Wireless not Ethernet. These are 3rd Gen ATV's but I checked the serial number and these do not match the bad batch of Apple TV's from 2013 that were offered up for Replacement for Apple due to the bad firmware update. None of the computers have the Firewall turned on. Here's the two logs that we always find after the issue occurs (logs are recent, happened this morning):
5/30/14 8:57:36.017 AM coreaudiod[183]: 2014-05-30 08:57:36.016946 AM [AirPlay] ### Feedback taking too long to send (30 seconds, 17 total)
5/30/14 8:57:36.332 AM coreaudiod[183]: 2014-05-30 08:57:36.331492 AM [AirPlay] ### Feedback failed: -6723/0xFFFFE5BD kCanceledErr
The user will get disconnected from Airplay anywhere between 30 seconds to 3 minutes after logging on and can reconnect but then once again get disconnected after the same time period. One interesting thing to note is that when the Feedback Taking Too Long to send error starts occuring and the countdown to disconnect start ticking down to 30, its solely referring to Audio not being sent over the network and Video is working just fine. If I try to play sound I get another log and the sound doesn't play through the speakers. After a reboot, sound works fine and the Feedback Error's do not show up. I've also tried switching to Internal Speakers (since it defaultly switches to Airplay Speakers) after connecting to Airplay and seeing the Feedback timer start in the Console Logs but even after that the log continues to saw its taking too long to send and disconnects in 30 seconds.
This issue has been ongoing for months, I've got a ticket logged as far back as January with this occuring but its infrequent enough that we've just restarted and moved on. I'd say its an issue that occurs to about 5%-10% of meetings but that's an entire meeting that doesn't have the ability to Airplay until someone comes down and reboots it.
I don't often post in this forum but its still an active issue with no resolution, proof that its occuring on other people's systems, and no firmware updates having been released to correct it. It'd be nice to know of any workarounds other than having to buy some lamp timers for each conference room just to get a functional ATV or putting up a sign that says hey if you get disconnected every 3 minutes, reboot the ATV. The whole reason we're using Apple products is for ease of use otherwise I'd put together a much cheaper solution myself. Any help or recommended troubleshooting steps would be fantastic at this point.

Is it possible to force a fixed Application to open in a Secondary Monitor?

This is my first time actively using a forum, so forgive me if I'm unclear with my question or if I'm unaware of forum common sense or etiquette.
I've been running a Multi-Monitor system for awhile now at my office. I ran into a few problems when I first set it up, but was able to resolve many issues with many work-arounds. In truth, this is one of the same major problems I was having before.
As it says in my details, I have an iMac with a Wacom Cintiq 21UX via Mini DisplayPort to DVI, and an Apple Cinema Display via Arkview USB Display Adapter. I do a lot of graphical work amongst my many tasks, so the Cintiq is typically my main input device. I have it set in a Portrait position, which I prefer greatly over Landscape.
My problem is that to use many of the graphical applications, Adobe anything, I have to set it as the main monitor. Since Apple doesn't use application containers, at least, not in a way that allows you to drag the main toolbar. This solution, of course, I learned after a lot of struggle. It works and I'm fine with it now, but I've recently been called upon to use Final Cut and Motion for some projects and this problem has again reared its head, but in a different way.
I've programs set up all over my three screens; sized and set to where I like them and are most efficient, and across multiple Spaces. To properly run Final Cut, a resolution of 1280x800 is strongly recommended. Since I'm running Portrait, mine is set to 1200x1600. I didn't think much of Final Cut's initial warning at the time, since any windows caught outside the screen I was certain I could rescue with a trusty Applescript, written to collect all windows to the main screen. Which I discovered was a problem when running Final Cut from a laptop that was dual-monitored, but once you take away the secondary monitor the Final Cut windows remain floating aimlessly out of screen. They were floating off-screen, as I thought, and fixed it with the applescript. While I was working though, I was confused on where the **** the splice tool went. I looked everywhere in the application I could to find it, but it wasn't until I called a friend and he assured me that the tool actually did exist that I remember the teeny-tiny tool panel that would typically reside next to the timeline. The applescript can't pull it for some reason.
So my question, *is there a way in which you can change the display an application starts in?* (bolded for ease of discovery in this long post) what would fixedly open in the main display instead opening to a secondary monitor. Or, as consolation, possibly rescuing that tiny tool panel? Early on I tried keeping a shortcut key set to switch the main monitors back and forth, but found that applications will switch with them, applications I didn't want to switch. Plus, the Wacom Pen has to be re-calibrated when the Cintiq is switched to the secondary monitor, and then, of course, re-calibrated again when it's switched back to the main.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

All my Monitors are set to their native resolutions, 1280x800 is Final Cut's suggested optimal resolution. My Cintiq is a Tablet Monitor, one that allows you to write or draw upon the screen itself, as such, it's set upon an adjustable stand that will let you place the Tablet Monitor upright, semi-flat against the desk, or anywhere in-between, in addition to 360 degree rotation in its flat position. This means that the Tablet Monitor comes with two native resolutions, one for Landscape and one for Portrait. The Cintiq is purposely designed to allow it to be set in a Portrait position, for the comfort of the User. 1200x1600 is just as native for the Cintiq as 1600x1200. Also, my Office Desktop set-up is, God-willing, a permanent set-up; I don't disconnect Monitors, and they are set to Extended Desktop Mode.
My aim was to avoid switching back or forth between resolutions or Mirroring. This will work, yes, but having to do it every time I need to use Final Cut, or any other such program with odd monitor requirements, is a hassle. With all the various windows and applications I have running at any one time, I'll be wasting time moving and resizing windows across multiple Spaces back to where they were every time I need to run Final Cut, and re-calibrating the pen to the new resolution. Which is also a little embarrassing when I need to demo a clip for my bosses and co-workers and I have to spend time, in which I could be explaining things, tiding up my desktops. It would be ideal to have it prepared before they got there, (actually, ideal would be not having to prep it in the first place) but not all meetings are scheduled and planned.
As for windows that get lost in space, that's what the Applescript was for, but apparently that little tool panel, which is wholly more important than it's size suggests, doesn't register as a window and gets left behind.
So my hoped for solution is a way in which to force a Program that would normally load onto the Main Monitor to instead load on to a chosen Secondary Monitor, one that fills the necessary resolution requirements of said Program. I couldn't care less about the Applications need for the Main Toolbar since I run Secondbar anyhow.
This isn't a vital emergency though, I'm just trying to find a solution for an annoyance and to make the whole process more efficient. Oh well, C'est la vie.
Thank you for your reply Dennis.

How to use a secondary monitor in Portrait mode

Finally discovered how to do this. Here is how to use a second monitor in portrait mode:
Open System Preferences from your iMac dock.
Click Displays - Click Arrangement - Click Gather Windows - the secondary monitor dialog box opens.
Click Rotation - Click 90 degrees rotation for PORTRAIT MODE.
Click CONFIRM on the secondary monitor to keep Portrait mode.
Select the desired resolution. I chose 1200 x 1920.
You'll see a dialog box that says, "About to change the display mode."
Click OKAY.
Click Confirm. (If it appears. For some resolutions, I did not have to click confirm, most likely because the monitor supports those resolutions.)
Then resize the windows of the software you're using.
Done!

I too got the same. Both monitors went portrait. Then I unchecked the 'Mirror Display' option in the Arrangment tab of iMac display and voila. Got what I wanted.

How to keep iMac screen black while keeping secondary monitor running for visual experiments in Matlab

Hi,
I'm trying to run a visual experiment using PsychToolbox in Matlab.
I've attached a secondary monitor to my iMac for this purpose and I'm having difficulties trying to
'black out' the iMac screen.
I need the secondary monitor to run at a refresh rate of 120Hz and at linearised luminance (did this for my secondary monitor),
so I can't really use my iMac screen. However, i need my iMac screen to be darken out because I'm doing a vision experiment.
I tried dimming my iMac screen but it doesn't go completely dark. I tried Ctrl+Shift+Eject (or was it Command) but it will darken both
monitors. I also tried mirroring, but it doesn't seem to work too.
I'm really stuck and any ideas will be greatly appreciated!
shui
NB:I'm using OS X Version 10.8.3.

I do not know the details of your experiment, but creating a black monitor is not difficult. For example a completely black page, e.g. in Power Point, set to fill the screen?
The advantage of doing this with PP is that you can move in to or out of the black page with just the space bar. You can set up your monitors so PP is displayed on just one monitor.

Can you WIRELESSLY connect a macbook pro to a monitor to have extra work space on a separate screen from your macbook? (not mirror, extra monitor/workspace)

Can you WIRELESSLY connect a macbook pro to a monitor to have extra work space on a separate screen from your macbook? (not mirror, extra monitor/workspace)
It needs to be wireless.
I am not asking about mirroring, but as a second screen.
Apple tv communties said the Apple tv cannot do this, but maybe another type device can?

My thunderbolt port stopped working on my late 2011 MacBook Pro rendering my external monitor useless--or so I thought.
Mac Genius suggested using the Apple TV via AirPlay Display as a $100 solution. Took me all of 6 minutes to figure this out as there are no directions in the Apple TV box supporting this. But, it does work and I am now back in business.
PS. Don't set up with bluetooth--seems logical but you want to use AirPlay Display under Settings > Displays.
Also, I originally thought my external monitor stopped working because I upgraded the OS. This time, it was definitely a hardware issue and not software. It also fixed a known sound issue my monitor had with Macs. First time in my 15 years I've ever had a ViewSonic have issues with an Apple product, too. Thanfully, it is now fixed.
Hope this helps.

Dock location with secondary monitor

I currently have a secondary monitor arranged to the left of my primary one, but I would like to keep my Dock located vertically along the left side of the primary screen. Is there any way to do this, it seems like a fairly basic option, but OS X insists on putting the Dock on the far left of the secondary screen because I've set it to "Extend" the displays. Mirroring the displays isn't helpful, nor is moving the menu bar to the secondary display, and I'd prefer not to move the Dock to the bottom or right side of the primary screen. I've looked for solutions elsewhere, and if one can't be provided, how should I contact Apple to encourage them to add this option? Thanks.

There should be something between Mirroring and Extending displays. Obviously I want to use the extra monitor for something other than simply having another copy of the stuff on my primary screen, but I also want access to the same menus/Dock on my secondary as on my primary. I realize that my Dock goes to the far left because I've selected to "Extend" the displays, I just wish there was an option to tell OS X not to do that. I've yet to find any third-party utilities that can achieve what I want. Dock-It came close, but it missing a lot of features from the standard Dock (and it's ugly). Also, I shouldn't need a third-party app to do this. I love OS X, but sometimes it's a little stubborn.

Aperture with secondary monitor problem

I am using 2010 MBP (OSX 10.9.1) with an LG 22EA63 as my secondary monitor. Everything works fine except Aperture 3.5.1.
I tried to use external monitor to minor current image in View -> Secondary Viewer -> Mirror. However, my MBP monitor shows a full screen mirrored image. No matter which choise i choose, my MBP monitor become the secondary monitor. My LG monitor shows nothing.
I wanna ask, what should I do to fix this problem? Is it the program problem?

Hi,
i had the same problem and found an at least temporary fix:

Using MacBook Pro As Secondary Monitor?

Just purchased a MacBook Pro (Intel Duo-Core i7 w Lion installed) and own a Mac Pro Dual Core Intel for my work. On the tower I am running OSX 10.5.8. Would like to use the the MBP as a secondary monitor to the tower. Have looked around trying to find out if/how to do this but have only been able to find how to hook up a secondary monitor to the MBP and not vice versa.
Newbie at this so if there is any information or additional info required, just let me know and I will get it. Appreciate any and all help Thanks!

Have you looked in the App Store? (Mac App Store)
I know there are Apps available to let you (at least) mirror your display on other computers, MAC or PC.
If you are trying to have it do more than just mirror and use it like a true secondary display (an extension of desktop, etc...) I'm not entirely sure if their is anything available to make that happen.

Opens to secondary monitor, even when monitor is off

I open Firefox but donʻt see a window. Turns out it is opening to a secondary monitor that I seldom use.
Updated to version 3.6.15
Mac OS X 10.6.6

This is not helpful. In my case I have 6 monitors on an eyefinity graphics card. This suggestion may cause the window to open on the correct monitor once, but as soon as you close it on a different monitor it will default to that monitor. This is quite troublesome as 4 of my monitors are in different rooms of the house (every monitor is 1080 so i can mirror it with my main monitor and stream media to any tv in the house). :( Even the monitor in the same room isnt always on. I have to hold the windows key and arrow around until it shows up on the right screen and sometimes it takes forever like a puzzle. Stupid firefox. Its easy to set internet explorer to default to one monitor. :( sadly ie is my only solution atm. the worst was the time firefox opened a private message on my kitchen/cooking screen! ughhhh. everyone in the household read it.

How to send the canvas window to a secondary monitor ?

Hi there,
I already hooked up a secondary monitor.
How do I send the canvas window to a secondary monitor ?
Thanks

Once you have your extenal display connected, you need to go into System Preferences > Displays and turn off mirror displays mode. This puts your external display in extended desktop mode. Then you can drag the canvas window from your primary display to your external display.
Note: in my experience if you normally have the Dock on the right side of the screen it will disappear when you do this. Just do  > Dock and select one of the other Dock positions.

Secondary monitor on 20"iMac, How to set portrait orientation when running

How do you set the display rotation in Windows XP?
I have a secondary monitor (wall-mounted at 90 degrees to normal) that OS X handles just fine (the display preference window provides a rotate function). However, when running Windows XP, the secondary monitor is still available, but I can not find a setting that will rotate the display. I downloaded the Apple Boot Camp ATI driver from AMD's site and the driver version went from 8.39 to 8.43. Still no visible way to rotate the secondary display. I then upgraded Boot Camp to 2.1 after which the ATI driver version went to 8.45. Still no rotate functionality.
I have tried using the ALT-OPTION-ARROW key with no success (recommended on some obscure Windows XP forum). I also downloaded the Apple Boot Camp Crystal Control Center from the AMD site, but it would not execute after installation (this upon yet another obscure recommendation).
I also have Windows XP on my MacBook. It uses an NVIDIA driver and it will allow display rotation.
Any help or advice is appreciated.

I have resolved the issue. The ATI Catalyst Control Center app (I meant Catalyst, not Crystal in my original post) needs Microsoft's .NET Framework 2.0, which was not included in my original Windows XP installation.
After downloading and installing the .NET Framework 2.0 package and reinstalling the Catalyst Control Center app, I am now able to rotate the secondary monitor display to the portrait orientation.
I use the secondary monitor primarily viewing on-line documentation while working with an application on the primary screen. The portrait orientation provides a much better environment for reading documentation as I can view 2+ pages at the same time.

Lenovo 3000 and a secondary monitor

I have a Lenovo 3000 V100 Laptop. I want to use a secondary monitor/display. I see the display on both the primary and secondary monitors until windows finishes booting and then the secondary monitor goes blank. I try FN F7 to no avail. I am using windows XP. I assume this is a setup problem.
Please advise.

Not having your exact model, try this.
Go to your desktop display.
Position your pointer over part of the display without any icons, open windows, or tasks.
Right click.
A menu should appear, click on "Properties" or "Graphics Properties" whichever is on the menu. This should open another menu, one tab on which can be selected to allow you to display the same thing on the internal and an external monitor. The graphics adapter software on my Lenovo displays its menu this way. I'm not sure if going through the Control Panel selection will get you to the same point.

I have just upgraded. AND now I can't view video fullscreen on my secondary monitor?!! Why!

I have a dual monitor set-up, with sharing. I am on a Mac OS X Version 10.7.5
I am viewing my Firefox window on my secondary monitor. (NOT Primary) When I click any video to full-screen it loads the full-screen on my primary monitor. When I click the window to full-screen (on my secondary monitor) it fills the primary monitor.
Before I upgraded, this morning, I could click the full-screen button and my video would appear on the secondary monitor. (The same monitor.) Before this morning, I could re-size the browser window to full-size and view it in my secondary monitor. (The same monitor!)
So, explain to me, why the change? Why is it when I click on a video to enter full-screen, or want to re-size a window to full-screen on my secondary monitor, it views on my primary monitor. Does this make any sense?
Why? Why would somebody want to browse on one monitor, want to watch something fullscreen, click a button and then watch it on another monitor? I just don't get it. Or why would someone be browsing in a window on one monitor, click full-screen, and want to browse in the same window on another monitor?
I am sitting here facing my secondary monitor (which I use as my art-board) and my primary monitor sits to my left. I mainly work from my secondary monitor, so when I am drawing, painting and designing my cursor doesn't 'run into' my dock features, calendar, ext. When browsing in Firefox my window is where it should be, in-front of me. So why would I want to watch a video or browse the web on my left? Why? Why would any developer or designer do this! Especially considering the second, non viewing screen is black! Which means my secondary monitor (in-front of me) is black.
When I click, view full-screen, whether video or resizing windows, whether it is my primary or secondary monitor, don't you think the screen should appear full-screen in the monitor I am using?! Right?! I mean somehow you calculated a way for Firefox to recognize which monitor to reopen in. So what's up? I didn't have this problem last week? So tell me . . . why can't I open a video in full-screen on my secondary monitor like I have been doing for years? Why am I even having to write a complaint about something I used to be able to do. AND NOW I CAN'T.
I just checked Safari. Wow. Look at that! When I want to view a video in full-screen in the appropriate monitor I can! Wow! I can actually click on my secondary monitor and it's recognizes I want to watch the video on the same monitor.
I used to be able to do this in Firefox. I guess it is time to give up on Firefox. And choose a company who understands user-perspective. Or at-least understands what an upgrade is.

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
