Can I add a second monitor to a TouchSmart 520-1070?

Can I add a second monitor to a TouchSmart 520-1070? Can it be done through a USB port with a USB to DVI converter?

To connect your HP TouchSmart 520-1070 desktop computer to a second monitor or a TV, you will need to purchase a USB-to-video adapter. I recommend the eVGA UV Plus+ 19 USB-to-Video Adapter, however many of these other USB-to-video adapters should also work.
FYI... with a touch screen, you can only "clone" the desktop... trying to "extend" the desktop may cause problems using the computer.

Can I add a second monitor to my MacBook Air notebook and use both monitors simultaneously?

Can I add a second monitor to my MacBook Air notebook and use both monitors simultaneously? For example, have a spreadsheet open on the notebook monitor while the second monitor is displaying an architectural drawing?

MiniDisplay-to-? adapters ... ? replaced by VGA or DVI or HDMI
Best to use only 1 adapter to match the intended cable since mutliple-adapter setup (buy a VGA, then add VGA-DVI adapter) tendsto lose signal strength.
Also graphics chips run hotter driving external display, and since the graphics chip in Air is part of the CPU the CPU may throttle itself as the integrated graphics chip heats up.
Two modes of operation:
Mirror ... same image both displays
Extended ... the other screen is "extra screen space"

Can I attach a second monitor to a TouchSmart 320-1030?

Can I attach a second monitor to a TouchSmart 320-1030? It has only USB i/o ports. How do I do it? Will the software support it if I can find the right hardware? Can I use an older VHS monitor with some sort of a USB/VHS conversion gadget?

These units do not have any video out capability, you will need a USB to VGA/HDMI/DVI adapter from a 3rd party, there's no such thing as a "VHS monitor" did you mean VGA? if so then the statement above applies, as it does for all the other 9 million threads on this same subject :-)

Can i add a second moniter to hp touchsmart 310

Just need to know if I can add a second monitor to my hp touchsmart 310 pc

I use a USB display adapter to provide a choice of two extra monitors for my Touchsmart 300. I run a 17" monitor on a VGA cable from the USB display adapter and when I want to watch movies I change to an HDMI cable connected to my 42" Plasma and run that as a second display in the loungeroom. With the HP wireless remote, I can control the video and with the wireless mouse and keyboard I can surf the net on the BIG SCREEN! Cool!

I have a 27" IMac. I want to add additional monitors to it. There is a vga slot for the first monitor. I would like to add a second monitor but there is not another via slot. Is there an adapter I can get for via to usb?

Here's the problem I am trying to research for you...
There does exist a way to add a second monitor via USB:
USB 2.0 to HDMI Audio Video 1080P Adapter for Windows and Macbook
It's the only device I know of that can do that. The problem is that it wants a HDMI connection. So that means a HDMI-to-VGA adapter or converter needs to be found (not VGA-to-HDMI, those are easier to find).
Interesting article realted to this:
Hdmi to vga adapter
Maybe somthing like this converter will work.

How do I add a second monitor to an HP Pavilion M8200N

When I look at the ports in the back there is only one VGA port but no DVI port. There are about 4 USB ports one 1394 style port and an RCA video and audio jack labeled Input ( there is also a set on the front also showing as input) . Can any of these be used to add a second monitor. There is also a jack that looks like its for a telephone in green. and some various audio output jacks. As of now I havn't purchased a second monitor due to needing to know what ports it should have to connect with this computer. If it can't be done I will save my money.

Hi,
Based on the following link, you don't have any choice w/o spending more money to add more hardware:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01151028&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en...
To be honest, I would not spend more money to this machine, this may end up cost more money than to buy a new machine (w/o monitors - assuming you already have 2 monitors).

Can I add a second activity indicator? (Or more)

I have Firefox 4.0.1 Just wanted to know if it's possible to add a second activity indicator or more.

You can't add a second AGP card (there is only one AGP slot on the motherboard). You could add a PCI graphics card, but you will get much better performance by replacing your current AGP card with one that supports two monitors. There are various options depending on whether you have a display using ADC, how much performance you want, and price.
If you need ADC and don't want to buy a DVI to ADC adapter, you can look for a used Macintosh NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX Twinview or NVIDIA GeForce 4 Titanium. These don't support Core Video, so will not be able to take advantage of some features and speed improvements in Tiger.
If you don't need ADC, or get a DVI to ADC adapter, you can get much better performance. The best (but expensive) is the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition 256MB. It has a DVI and a VGA port.
A lot cheaper, and a bit slower, is the ATI Radeon 9600 Pro Power Mac G5 edition, modified to work in a G4 Quicksilver. See:
<http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Apple/630ATI96G4/>
With this card you will need an ADC to VGA adapter to run your second monitor. The other port is DVI.
Beware of the ATI Radeon 9600 Pro PC & Mac Edition 256MB card. It will not work in some Quicksilver modes.

Can I add a second graphics card?

I have an older G$ Quicksilver with a 32MB Geforce2 MX display card. I want to add a second vga monitor in pan mode to display one program while the other monitor displays another program. Can I add a second GeForce2 MX 32MB AGP card to accomplish this? Or do I need a more powerful card to replace the one I have?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Of course. Just get a monitor and the Mini DisplayPort adapter you need to connect the Mac to the monitor. I recommend you to use HDMI if the monitor uses it. Also, you can connect it to a TV. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241

Is it possible to add a second monitor via mac mini with iMac

Hi
is it possible to add a second monitor via mac mini with iMac
or is there another solution?
all i want to know is if i can run a second monitor or link a mac mini for more speed like i heard you can with the G5 Towers.

The iMac will allow you to connect a second monitor but that monitor will show the same thing as the iMac's built-in screen.
You can network a Mac mini and iMac via Ethernet or Firewire.
Software load sharing like Xgrid can allow you to share work between the Macs.

How can I add a second display to my Mac Mini

How can I add a second display to my Mac Mini (mid 2011). HDTV and standard monitor working simultaneously.

True ... but that can be tricky.
Macs can only power so much, and only through approved/proper adapters.
Running two monitors off a single MDP-to-VGA adapter may not work, because Mac may not nicely exchange-talk the simultaneous signals.
There is an adapter that will convert a single minidisplayport to two VGA plugs, but that adapter is $100 instead of $30 (for the single) because it has special hardware in the adapter itself to manage the two signals sinultaneously.
Alternately ...
Running one through the minidisplayport and one through the HDMI port makes them two separate signals to be processed.

You could put your install disc on a USB Flash drive with Disk Utility. Also, here is the USB optical drive enclosure I bought. He raised the price a few bucks. Mine ran $10.00 with the shipping.

Hi,
For many 17" (or 17.3") machines such as Envy 17, dv, Pavilion 17 .... you can add a second HDD (my old loan dv7 has two HDD's and my current loan Envy 17 also has 2 HDD's). You would need the following kit:

Can I add a second account to Adobe Digital Editions

I have two adobe reader accounts. One for my family one for personnel use. The computer has my personnel account on it. I want to add the family account to add books to my wifes nook. Can not seem to find out how to do that

Hi manobird,
If you used one ID to install ADE, you cannot download an ebook from a site into ADE if you used a different ID. That's the way the Digital
Millenium Copyright Act of 2000 was implemented to prevent unauthorized copying of ematerials. ADE tells you that in its HELP section. You can't add a second ID to ADE either, for the same reason.
What you CAN do is to change users, and authorize ADE with the same ID you used when you downloaded the ebook. You do this by bringing ADE up, then using the CNTLSHIFTD key combination, you will deauthorize ADE. Close ADE and reopen it, and ADE should ask you to authorize it. At this point, you can enter the second ID, and ADE will take off from there. BUT, keep in mind that any other ebooks you downloaded into ADE with the first ID will not be accessible until you go through the same process again and revert to the first ID.
Hope this helps!
