Any way to connect 2nd monitor that doesnt just show the same as the laptop

Hi Guys,
I just purchased a great LCD tv thinking I could hook it up to my ibook G4 and have 2 monitors running like I do with my G4 PowerMac, only to find when you hook it up theres only the option to have the screen doubled.
I know whats on the display infront of me right now... I can see it! Any idea if theres an update I can get or a setting I havent set up right to get my second screen working in tandem with my laptop?
In my experience its not like Apple to stick what is effectively a useless port on a device, there MUST be a way of doing it!!
Cheers in advance guys!
Gary
ibook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   Also have G4 PowerMac

It can be done...if you are willing to take the risk.
There is a script available for download (you will have to search fir it unless someone else can provide the link) called Screen Spanning Doctor. This will allow you to run separate video on the external monitor.
WARNING! - This is a firmware hack and using it may void your warranty and/or AppleCare. Use at your own risk!

  • In iMovie is there any way when you import your files to just make the file an alias like final cut does and not actually import and copy the whole file again into my mac. It's taking a lot of my space up. Thanks

    I just want to see if there is any way that I can import the files into iMovie as an alias like Final Cut Pro and Express does. I hate having to copy the file again because it takes up alot of space on my Mac. Thanks.

    No, but you can import your Event to an external drive from the import screen.
    It is also possible to create a symbolic link to another location. The link stays in your iMovie Events or iMovie Project folder, but the actual file resides somewhere else. I don't do it this way, so I can't share any details.

  • I recently did a factory resetting to my ipad3rd gen. but after that when i connect it to itunes it just shows the ipad tab and wen i click on it,it just shows a blank screen displaying just da word "ipad".I'm nt able to sync my ipad wid my computer.

    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • Now that Garageband is on the iPhone, is there any way to connect a Korg nanoKey to it?

    The subject says it all - I'm wondering if there's any way to connect a Korg nanoKey to my iPhone 3GS running the current version of iOS.
    Thanks and have fun!

    It would take a significant amount of work as you would have to change the pages to PHP. You would also lose any more compatibility with Muse.
    An alternative would be to host with Adobe Business Catalyst and upgrade to the eCommerce hosting plan and do your database functions using Business Catalyst Web Apps. It is a bit of a learning curve but in my opinion the better option than hosting on third party hosting and trying to convert everything.
    Keep in mind that even if you change the pages to php to add mySQL connection this would all have to be done by hand or with Dreamweaver. Muse does not support Database connectivity or dynamic content. The only real practical workaround is to use Business Catalyst along with Muse.

    If Nesacerry I Can A Component Video Scart Adapter.
    Can Anyone Help ?

  • I was given an 80gb ipod classic formated with mac os. Is there any way to connect it to my windows pc so I can transfer the song to my library?

    I was given an 80gb ipod classic formatted with mac os. Is there any way to connect it to my windows pc so I can transfer the song to my library? When I try to connect to my pc I get a message asking me if I want to format the drive. I want to try to save the 15000 songs that are already on the ipod. Any suggestions?

    The iPod and iTunes are designed so that you cannot transfer music on an iPod to another iTunes Library. This is because the 15,000 songs do not belong to you and you have no legal right to keep them.

    Is there any way to connect an ipad to a ethernet  cord or connect with out using wi fi?  Thank  you

    The closest you can come, without having a 3G iPad is to have a cellular mobile hotspot like the Mifi or such device, use that to get to wifi, or to tether it to a cell phone.

    Is there any way to connect my Apple wireless/bluetooth trackpad and keyboard to my Mac Mini without using a wired or usb keyboard?

    Well, I read that already, but I am trying to start up my Mac mini(new purchase) and I cannot get to all the system preferences etc since I cannot get past the startup screens. The site also mentioned waiting to turn on the keyboard until a language was requested. Neither language screen worked. I feel as though I'm just about ready to throw in the towel.

  • Any way to connect to 802.1x on login

    My University uses 802.1x security to connect to their network. When I use the network at my desk on a wired connection, I am required when I start up my computer each time to go to System Preferences, Network, and click Connect to get on the network. Is there any way to set it so that it automatically connects to the 802.1x on login?

    I had the same problem and the solution was very simple. You should go to Network preferences -> Advanced and then you have to make sure that your 801.1x network is between the first of your favorites. Moreover, select it and hit the modify button and set 802.1X to your user profile for that network. And That's it!

  • HT4759 i have lost my iphone i dont have iemi number but i used icloud id on that as there any way to locate my phone and if not located the plz tell my the way i remove my data from it. thanks

    i have lost my iphone i dont have iemi number but i used icloud id on that as there any way to locate my phone and if not located the plz tell my the way i remove my data from it. thanks

    Go to icloud.com.  Log in with your Apple ID & Password.  Go to the Find My iPhone section.  Perform a remote wipe of the device.
    You don't have to have downloaded any app.  You only have to have enabled the Find My iPhone option under Settings > iCloud.  If you did not do that, then you cannot remotely access the device.
    If that's the case, then change ALL of your account passwords; email, banking, etc.  All of them.  And then monitor those accounts very closely!

  • I just bought a new iMac and now I am trying to use it as a screen for my Macbook pro, but it don't have a Mini DisplayPort the new model only have Thunderbolt which my Macbook don't have. Is there any way to connect this two mac's anyway??

    I just bought a new iMac and now I amtrying to use it as a screen for my Macbook pro, but it don’t have a MiniDisplayPort the new model only have Thunderbolt which my Macbook don’t have. Isthere any way to connect this two mac’s anyway??

    Screen sharing setup in 10.5, 10.6 are described by the links by operating system.  10.7 is fairly similar to 10.6.
    And if both Macs have Firewire, you can setup a Firewire over IP network for fast communication between machines.  Note if you have two different Firewire ports a 6 pin to 9 pin Firewire cable does exist.  There are no Firewire to USB cables.

  • Is there any way to connect disabled iPad to network via external software?

    Hello,
    My iPad is disabled because of a Bluetooth mishap (my keyboard in my coat pocket tried to enter my password too many times). So I can't enter my password on the screen. Unfortunately I didn't back up the last few weeks of documents in any way, via either iCloud or syncing. And I just can't erase all the work I've done--it's irreplaceable to me.
    Is there any way to connect the iPad to a WiFi network through external software, maybe using the lightning connector?
    I ask because in iCloud I marked the iPad as Lost (in Find My iPhone), so I may get another chance at entering my password if the iPad can get online to receive the signal. But because it's disabled it won't connect to a network.
    Many thanks for any help!

    Not a big surprise unfortunately...  time to get an iPhone I guess!
    Thanks for the answer Sir!
