Aperture, Mavericks, three monitors

Anyone?
I have a (late '13) 15" rMBP, and two external monitors. I would like to do two things, neither of which I know how:
1. Use the keyboard and touchpad of the laptop, but turn the laptop screen off and use only the two external monitors in a dual-monitor set-up. (Clamshell mode works great, but then I need an external keyboard and pointing device.)
2. Use all three monitors, with Aperture on the two external monitors (as primary and secondary) and either use the laptop screen for other windows/HUDS, or other programs. The problem here is that with two external monitors, Aperture mirrors the secondary display on the third display.
I had no touble running a three monitor display on Mavericks. The two external displays have DVI ports (iirc). With one, I used a DVI-MiniDisplayPort dongle. With the other, a special cable I got from NEC to goes from DVI on one end to MiniDisplayPort on the other. The MiniDisplayPort connector fits in the Thunderbolt ports of the MBP, and works. (I've been using the monitors separately in dual-monitor mode with the laptop for a while.)

if i plug in a monitor to my 2nd vid card aperture crashes too ...
i would like to be able to put aperture on three monitors as well ...
apparently we are in the minority ... i have just taken my third offline totally ... and since i use PS less and less every day and added a 30" it hasn't really been a factor for most everything else ... but i would love to have my image on the 30, my browser/project view on one 23 and the huds, etc on the other 23 ...
maybe some day, the kinks will work out ...

Using aperture with three monitors

This is both a tip and a question:
tip: If you have 3 monitors, and the left one is set to be your primary display, then run the main aperture window on the middle one. It an the right one will act the way it does with a 2 monitor setup.
If Aperture is run on the left display then either the other two displays are blank, or they both display the same thing.
Question:
Is there a way to run aperture sensible using all 3 monitors?
E.g. I want browser on window 1, and the other two to span.
or
browser on window 1, the other two screens have one in portrait, one in landscape, and aperture works to make best use of both displays -- e.g. a single pic will display on the monitor that fits it best, mutiple pix will spread out in a way that makes best use of the display.

Right click in the desktop area of computer. Then click properties then settings. You should see TWO MONITORS in the top window.
Click on the No. 2 monitor then UNCHECK the Extend My Windows Desktop to this monitor setting.
Your laptop screen should be back to normal now.
Use as needed and reverse this setting when using the laptop in a 2 monitor scenario.

Three monitors cause Aperture to crash immediately

Hi all,
On a Mac Pro, I have two video cards. Two monitors are plugged into an ATI 1900XT (20" portrait and 24" landscape) and one 22" in an NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT.
All applications behave wonderfully except for Aperture. When I launch aperture, it crashes seconds after displaying some thumbnails. If I unplug the third monitor (the one on the 7300 GT), launch Aperture then plug the third monitor back in, Aperture crashes right away.
Does anyone have any experience with a similar set up ?

Three Monitors - How to change alternate

I have three monitors connected to my Mac Pro. I like to use an alternate monitor to view my photos, but Aperture is not selecting the monitor I want as the alternate. How do I tell aperture to use a different monitor as the alternate monitor.

Aperture doesn't support 3 monitors

10.6.4 Wake From Sleep Three Monitors

Never even the slightest wake from sleep problem on this 8-core Mac Pro running 10.5.0 through 10.6.3...
10.6.4 just woke from sleep — iTunes screen saver album cover art remained on my left and right monitors — system was flaky/unusable would not restart — 3-key+eject shutdown...
I suppose this is yet another problem running three monitors, but it is tough to see NEW problems, sigh...

I had the same problem and it was driving me nuts. Thanks to conradchavez.com Blog.
Multiple displays: If you put panels (including the Tools panel) on a secondary display and then switch applications, those panels may snap back to the primary display when you switch back. To avoid this, open System Preferences, click Mission Control, and turn off Displays Have Separate Spaces. Mavericks ships with that option on, so if you want to position Adobe application panels and windows on multiple displays you should turn off that option.
You will have to log out before it works. It worked for me.
Tankyou very mutch!!!!
Now is all perfectly funzionally!!!!
Ri- Tankyou!!!

Three monitors with one video card???

I have the H520 (Intel HD onboard graphics, HDMI and VGA out, i%, 8GB RAM< 2TB drive) driving two monitors. I have a business need to deive three monitors.
I spent 12 hours trying to get an EVGA GT 640 sc to work, having tried many approaches per EVGA support, such as disabling Secure Boot, Quick Boot, ad infinitum. Nothing was successful (for long), and that card goes back today.
I don't mind buying an aftermarket card that would frive, say one HDMI and two DVI out, but I was told by Lenovo TS that "some of the computers allow an addon VGA card without disabling onboard video. Simple VGA or better, DVI would do nicely.
Does anyone know such a card (I am prepared to install any power supply needed), or if a VGA card can be used with the onboard grapics chip? I only need VGA on the second and third monitor, and if a simple card will coexist with the Intel HD onboard that would be my first choice.
Thanks.

Thanks, Ex, I have seen those, but:
1) I am already USB-slot restrained (planning to add a USB 3.0 card, if the system allows), and
2) I have not read up on it, but wonder hor USB (especially 2.0) could provide the bandwidth of PCIe x16 or even x1.

Three monitor setup

I have an Envy 700 339 desktop running windows 8 I want to set up three monitors ...PC existing card has 1-dvi, 1-hdmi...monitors are samsung 27" hdmi and have dvi/hdmi in/out
Do I need another card for optimum setup or am I missing something?
I purchased an hdmi splitter which works great for duplication but not for extended desktop.... I am not a gamer so I am not looking for fully extended, but simply two more monitors for moving windows around and other applications etc... My apologies if this is a rudimentary question I'm no techie for sure

Three monitor setup, Only use one of them?

Hi!
Before i buy a third monitor I want to make sure everything work as expected. I need to be able to switch between the monitors so sometimes I want all of them to be active, sometimes only two or one of them. How do i switch between those modes?
I have two now and its easy in Windows + P where i can choose "PC Screen only" and "Second Screen Only" or extend. How does it looks with three monitors? What i want to switch between First & Second and Second & Third ?
Thanks for the help!

I shall suggest you to go through the following article:

Three Monitor Save, Two Monitor Hang- CS6

I have three monitors running from my Dell M6600 at work. I save a Premiere Project with any panel open on the third monitor. Then take my computer home where I only have two monitors and open the project file, Premiere hangs. It will never launch the application fully. It opens to the point where it would normally load project data, and then hangs.
As a workarround I have begun making sure I save the project with all panels on two screens. However, if I forget then the only solution I have is to go to work to open the project. (Or get a third monitor at home...)
I would love to be able to edit the project XML and remove or reset the panel layout. Anyone else experiencing this issue? or know how to "hack/workaround" the project file?

Jim Simon wrote:
I don't think that's correct. Each project loads with the last saved window arrangement, named or not. So he'll need to rearrange the windows before saving at work (or get that third monitor at home).
I'm just going by the help file:
http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/workspaces.html
"If a project saved with a custom workspace is opened on another system, the application looks for a workspace with a matching name. If it can’t find a match (or the monitor configuration doesn’t match), it uses the current local workspace."
But like I said, I haven't tested it out myself.

Distribute video output over three monitors (+ another)

Hi there,
I've got a triple beamer setup + a Cinema Display. My Mac Pro has two ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT cards. What I need to do now is use the monitor as an operating monitor and combine/distribute the triple beamers in such a way that I can play one 1920 x 480 video file over all three monitors simultaneously, for an event.
The two ATI 2600 cards are especially in there to be able to do this, but when I try to combine the monitors through display settings or through the Quicktime settings, it just doesn't seem possible. VLC won't play my ProRes 422 material, but I could re-render off course when the video is done.
Is my only option a bloody €200,- video splitter, or can I do this 'the software way?'. I find it so hard to imagine that what I want wouldn't be possible with all the hardware power I've already got! Friendly greetings, Douwe.

If you click the "?" in the "Arrangement" tab of "Displays" system preference, it will tell you how to set three out of the four displays to mirror mode, leaving the fourth separate.

Three Monitors in a Power Mac

Dear All,
I have a Power Mac with the ATI Radeon HD 5770 card, I need to connect three monitors to that card. The main one and I need the second and third monitor having the same video or image, I already bought a DVI splliter and did not work, and also I used two mini DVI connecters and the regular DVI with three monitors and I am not getting the three signals.
Thanks a lot for your suggestions.
ATI Radeon HD 5770 Graphics

The Apple articles tell you the path Apple has laid out for your success, but not the entire picture.
To drive three displays off these cards, you need all converters to be ACTIVE, POWERED converters. The signal levels must be re-driven, and the Driver circuits to do this cannot quite get enough power off the card itself to do this.
This article on AMD/ATI web site has an additional descriptions and "Rules" in the paragraphs at the top of the page. The tables below list some qualified adapters under the correct headings.
Read Carefully: DisplayPort is not MINI DisplayPort, and there are headings for ACTIVE as well as PASSIVE included.
Also note that Amazon searches do not always return EXACT results.
"Dual-Link" contain double data signals, for servicing SINGLE displays that are wider than 1920 wide.
The Mac is completely capable of Mirroring displays in any combination on the same Display card.
The USB-to-DVI box BDAqua cited is an interesting way to get an additional display output, but is probably not needed since your 5770 can already support three displays if you use the right adapters. It is said to be s-l-o-w.

Using three monitors with keynotes?

I have three monitors on my mac book and want to use the presenter view on two of the monitors and the show on the third. Is there an app or patch I can use to do this?

Thanks very much, perfect!
Only thing is you don't need to press the "?" button. But it seems a little temperamental when you option + click + drag. I found you to have to deselect but clicking anywhere in the window and reselected the window you wish to mirror (which I assume press the "?" does the same thing).
I never thought it was going to be this simple, I was sure I would need to install a third party app or something.
Thanks again!!!!!!!

Does anyone have three monitors working?

A friend of mine who enjoys the piece of mind of using Linux, but not the poking and prodding recently "inherited" a good monitor in addition to the two he already had.
He has two Nvidia cards. One came with the computer and has one out while the other card is much nicer and has dual outputs.
Has anyone gotten three monitors to work in Linux? I googled, but it seems that most of the things I read are from 2004-ish, and it wasn't so good back then.

AFAIK
one screen on the old card, one screen with 2 monitors on the new one and in the ServerLayout section you declare both screens ala
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "MEGAMONITORZ"
Screen "OldScreen"
Screen "NewScreen" LeftOf "OldScreen"

What kind of network are you on? Home network or corporate? Sometimes corporate network can have proxy servers or other things that could corrupt the downloads.
Others here have noted they have issues if their system is set to something other than English. What language is your system set to? Off chance on this one but I seem to recall seeing something so I figured it woudln't hurt to mention.
