Arrange option missing when a 2nd monitor is connected

I connected a 2nd monitor to my 1.9 pre-Intel iMac g5 but I can only mirror my destop. When go under Display preferences, I am not given the option to arrange the displays.
What am I missing?

That is how Apple designed those iMacs. The Intel-based iMacs were the first iMacs to allow extended desktop.
However you may want to take a look at Macworld's "Screen Spanning iMac" article.

Jumpy mouse on 27" imac when using 2nd monitor

Exactly as my post suggests, I'm using an acer AL2016 20" monitor via a mini displayport to DVI adaptor at 1680x1050. What's weird is it isn't always jumpy, just sometimes. But only when the second monitor is connected does this happen.
I've tried this with 2 different logitech trackballs and few different mice, it makes it hard to click on anything because the mouse "jumps"... the speed it moves isn't consistent. I've tried cleaning the trackball, even replacing it. Only thing I can think is the difference in resolution between the two monitors(2560x1440 vs 1680x1050) is confusing it.

Epson R1800 printer options missing when using AEBS wireless printing- WHY?

I have run into a very odd problem with my Epson R1800 printer. When I install the printer for directly connecting via USB or FireWire the version 6.12 print driver appears with all of the options. When I install the same printer when connected through my AirPort extreme base station the print driver is lacking most of the adjustment features.
Fire wire and USB contain the following menu items in the drop down print dialog"
Print Settings (with basic and advanced tabs)
Roll Paper Option
Expansion
Extension Settings
The AEBS printer options only contains one printer specific selection called:
Printer Features
which has a very limited selection of options, an no options which allow me to turn off color management.
Some additional information
- I installed this same printer driver on one laptop back in the days of 10.5.2 and I was able to install a AEBS printer which allows all of the options. On that same computer if I now install a new printer with the same driver those extra options are missing.
- I just upgraded a second laptop to Leopard today and went straight to 10.5.3 and the wireless driver for this printer only contains the limited menu items.
- I am certain that I am using the Epson drivers and not the Gutenprint drivers. Please do not suggest the Gutenprint drivers, they do not handle color management properly.

This is a real problem for this printer OS combination... I believe due to the crappy Epson driver. I searched the internet and found lots and lots of people having a similar problem. When I contacted Epson today they admitted there was a driver problem, but the tech told me they had no plans to improve the driver 'because the R1800 is a discontinued model'! How's that for support!
Anyway...several people have had fairly decent luck removing the printer and all Epson software then re-installing it. When the 'correct' driver is installed it will say something like "Epson R1800 (sp) 1". My problem is there is no way to profile this printer and have the driver work as it should for proofing and color management. I know that doesn't help much, but if you google "Epson R1800 problems with Leopard" you'll see what I mean.

MacMini (2011) problem with Thunderbolt display if 2nd monitor is connected via HDMI/DVI adapter

Hi,
iam running a MacMini (2011) 2.3GHz i5 with Mac OS X 10.7.4 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 256 GB Samsung SSD.
If i connect a Thunderbolt display only - all is fine.
But if i connect a 2nd monitor ( Samsung S23A700) via HDMI / DVI adapter (original Apple) the major screen (Thunderbolt Display) sometimes
is going black and immidiately back to normal. It looks like that it happens very often if i scroll down with the Apple Magic Mouse.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Thomas

I have exactly the same problem. MacMini Server i7 (mid 2011) Macmini5.3.16Gb ram.
Mini and Thunderbolt no blink-outs.
Mini and Thunderbolt and Dell 23" connected to HDMI-DVI connector, the Thunderbolt display blinks out when system is under stress as in the Develop module of Lightroom 4.
I thought it was a problem with my Thunderbolt display, and since its on a VESA mount, I didn't really want to haul in in to the Apple Store. I decided to be sure it was the dosplay...
I borrowed a MacbookPro i7 and ran it from a clone of my Mini. No problems aster hours of use. (But with only ONE monitor.) That suggested that there was no problem with the Thunderbolt Display.
I decided to run the Mini with only one display. Again no problems. I plugged in the Second monitor to the HDMI port and within 2 minutes I had my first "Blink-Out".
I ran the rest of the day without the second monitor with no problems.
I conclude the mini will not work reliably with two monitors if one is a Thunderbolt.
I was using two Dell Monitors before I got the Thunderbolt Diskplay (for 3 months) without incident.

Common Language Runtime option missing when attaching to extproc.exe

All,
In references to http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/mastering_dotnet_oracle/williams_sps.html.. I have been able to sucessfully deploy the .NET store procedure from VS 2005 to Oracle 11g with Oracle Extensions for .NET. The .NET SP also runs in SQL*Plus and from my VS 2005.
I have Oracle 11g on a Win2003 Server and VS 2005 on a WinXP, so I attemped to debug the .NET store procedure remotely by attaching my VS to the extproc.exe process on the Win2003 machine.
I setup a Visual Studio Remote Debuging Monitor on the Win2003 machine and could attached to it from my XP box but it does not hit the breakpoint Ive set when I run the SP from SQL*Plus. **All permission were set to allow remote debugging
However, there isnt an option to specify CLR as the code type/program type.. only Managed, Native and T-SQL is listed. Extproc.exe is also listed as a " Managed, x86" Type as opposed to a ".NET, ..." Type unlike the screenshot shown in the article.
Does anybody know why this is the case? Could it be possible that extproc.exe cannot be debugged remotely?
Would appreicate it if anyone could shed some light into this.
Thanks in advance.
Brian

Issue resolved. I came into work today and the breakpoint hit for some strange reason.

"next" option missing when editing songs

When editing songs I've added from other sources or things I ripped years go, I used to have the option to edit one song, then press "Next" and that would allow me to edit the next song in the album, or list I was working on. In iTunes 11, the option seems to be missing. I now have to edit a song, press "OK", then click on the next track and select "Get Info". Is there a way to re-enable this option? Making managing my library very tedious.

Hi,
Try editing in song view. It works as before but does not work in album view.

Strange Colors in CS5 when using 2nd Monitor

Hey here,
lately i connected my hardware calibrated Monitor to my MBP
and as i dragged the Picture from the MBP screen to the second Monitor, the colours changed into some ugly ****.
It only happens in CS ( Bridge / PS) other Programs ( capable of color management) like capture One or Phocus
did not have that problem. So i don't know what to do.
I made a new monitor profile, reset the ps settings, restarted via parameter ram reset, but nothing worked.
does anybody know what is happening here?
thank you
C.

We are also experiencing this with .psd .ai .eps .jpg files etc. etc. etc.
Example:
An image is placed in a box in InDesign, then resized and positioned. In a later stage the image needs editing, so the image is selected and we click on Edit Original. The image opens in either PS or ILL, we alter it (not sizewise, just color). Then we save it and the link in InDesign updates.
BUT
The position and the scale of the image most often CHANGES.
CS5 is soo full of bugs, it is not even funny anymore. We are slowly moving our studio back to CS3.

Sound output to headphones when external HDMI monitor is connected

It seem that connecting an external HDMI display disconnects the headphone jack output.
Does anyone know how to rectify this issue?

2nd monitor not using all available pixels

So am I the only one having this issue? -
I have a Mac Mini that is running Windows 7 in bootcamp. I have 2 monitors. My 2nd monitor is connected with an HDMI to DVI cable. In Windows, the whole screen of both monitors is used (edge to edge, top to bottom). But when I switch over to Yosemite, my second monitor has about a 1 inch bar of black on both sides and a 1/2 inch bar along the top and the bottom. This is literally unused space.
I've talked to Apple Support several times but they don't seem to have an answer. I get transferred to someone but each time I get cut off. (so I gave up trying to fix this over the phone or on line chat). There are no features or selections in the Syncmaster to adjust this. Why does it work perfectly fine in Windows but not when I switch over to Yosemite.
Maybe this doesn't seem like a big deal but it's so frustrating that I'm actually finding myself not wanting to use the Yosemite side.
Does anybody have a solutio

How Do I Add 2nd Monitor using AppleTV?

I use a mid - 2012 Mac Pro; run Mavericks MacOS X 10.9.5.
1. I would like to know how to connect my SONY TV as a second monitor wirelessly using AppleTV.
2. Once 2nd monitor is connected:
3. What do I do to use the cursor and keyboard on the 2nd monitor?
4. How do I reply to an answered question for more info, or to thank someone?

Hey again Angel,
It is the latter:
If your Mac supports AirPlay Mirroring, an AirPlay Mirroring status icon appears in the menu bar when an Apple TV is on the same network as your Mac.
OS X Mavericks: Wirelessly mirror your Mac screen to your HDTV
https://support.apple.com/kb/PH14375
So the AirPlay icon will only be seen on your Mac when an Apple TV is present on the same network as your Mac. You may also be interested in more information about AirPlay, which can be found here:

2nd monitor says in input - what to do?

Hello. I have been having trouble getting a 2nd monitor to connect with my computer on the windows side. Two days ago the monitor just quit working and says no input when I turn it on. I have checked drivers for HP, nvidia, and updated my apple software on the mac side.
Two days ago suddenly the monitor began working. I have no idea why. I suspected that updating the apple software might have finally kicked. It worked for awhile yesterdat morning but then suddenly quit and I've not been able to get it started again.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Michael

Hi again Loner T. OK I read over all again. Let me see if I understand what you are saying to do:
First, download bootcamp software from apple-support-downloads. I found a place where it linked my computer to files and took me to bootcamp 4.0.4033. I follow directions on the apple site where it says to double click the file to uncompress it and then save all to a usb flash drive. That's what you mean above I think. I am gathering I download this on the apple side?
Open windows.
Go through and uninstall each of the windows drivers provided by apple that you have pictured above.
Then follow instructions on the apple website per what you say above by clicking on setup.exe.
This should reinstall the windows drivers and correct problems that downloads from windows may have created. Is that correct? I am thinking, however, that this is not the source of my problems. The install date on all these is 7-18-12 rather than a recent update that might have caused problems.
So I can do this. However, this doesn't deal with the issue of the nvidia graphics display card. Again, following other online suggestions for a clear install I deleted this file. The display card now does not show up in the Device Manager nor is there an Nvidia control panel in the control panel window. (The nvidia control panel, however, is still listed in Programs and Features as is a file called Nvidia drivers. What to do about this? I am assuming that this is needed for the display. I know the nvidia control panel was where I could see the connection with the monitor when this was working properly.
Thanks. Michael

Clitching H264 Playback on 2nd monitor - 17" MacBook Pro/NVIDIA

I have used Keynote professionally for many years, and often use H264 compressed videos (that I have created in After Effects). This has always worked very well until the last few weeks when I noticed that every now and then there is a glitch in the playback of H264 movies when a 2nd monitor/video projector is attached.
Glitch description: A completely random flash/breakup of the image that lasts for single frame - similar to the old flash frame you used to get when playing back MPEG2 movies in PowerPoint. This does not cause the video to stop playing, but is annoying when using it in a profesional presentation. It is also completely random and occurs at least once a minute during playback. This only occurs on the new MacBook Pro's that have the NVIDIA graphics card. It does not occur when using the laptop's LCD display only - ie: no 2nd output used. It does occur on the laptop's LCD if a second display/projecter is plugged in. This does also not occur on my ATI equiped MacBook Pro 15" or my G5 or my iMac.
It appears to be a problem with the NVIDIA card.

hi!
i got the same problem with the 15 inch 2.4 Macbook Pro and
Digital Cinama Display through Final Cut Pro.
Looking like a NVIDIA driver problem - hoping for leopard............

Crashes when disconnecting a monitor on OS X

I have a totally reproducible problem wherein every time I disconnect a monitor or computer projector from my MBP, Dreamweaver CC crashes.
Has anyone else seen this, or am I just lucky?
Setup: MacBookPro, Yosemite 10.10.1, Dreamweaver Build 6947
Thanks for any info,
Michael

Thanks for the response Tayfun. Just for clarity though, this issue is ONLY with dreamweaver, therefore closing other apps doesn't effect anything one way or the other -- and besides, I should have to close everything out in order to receive an effective user experience.
I use thunderbolt for my external monitor but I went ahead and tried to emulate the problem with HDMI since that's what you use. Sure enough, I was able to reproduce the problem. In fact, I have more precise information about when this error occurs. Essentially, Dreamweaver will crash EVERY time the display changes, no matter how it changes -- be it from duel screen to mirroring, or vice versa.... whether it be hdmi, airplay, or thunderbolt. Regardless of any of these factors, dreamweaver will ALWAYS crash when moving from one type of display setting to another. Furthermore, the only way I've been able to keep dreamweaver from crashing is to plug in the display before launching dreamweaver and then shut down dreamweaver before removing the external screen. The problem doesn't occur when tinkering with display settings without an external monitor connected -- again, it's only when an external monitor is connected. This is problematic however because in the instance I forget to save my work before removing my monitor, I'm screwed. This problem really needs fixed.

Losing connection to 2nd monitor when iMac sleeps

I have a 2nd monitor connected to my 21" iMac (late 2013) with Mavericks via displayport/thunderbolt port to HDMI. I had the same one with the same link connected to my old 2010 Macbook Pro, and I never saw this.
What happens is when the computer goes to sleep, all of the windows on the second screen move to the iMac, and my Wacom tablet even goes from being mapped to ONLY my second monitor to being only mapped to the iMac!
This is kind of driving me crazy, and I have searched and Googled and just can't find a solution.
Any ideas would be rad. Thanks.
