Can I change which display is primary and which is secondary on my Macbook?

I'm using an external monitor with my Macbook, and I can easily change the arrangement of the displays. However, I would like the dock and menu bar to be on my bigger external display, but I haven't found a way to do that yet. Is it possible to make my external display the primary one and my Macbook the secondary one? Thanks...

System Preferences / Displays / Arrangment.
The display that has the white stripe at the top is the "primary" one, in the sense that the desktop will be on that display.
You move the stripe - it's really the Menu bar - by dragging it.

    The only way I know is that you need a physical address and credit card of an English speaking country.

    Have you got a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If so, then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can lock rotation either by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
    If there is no lock symbol then try a reset and see if rotates after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • How can I change the display of Inbox in my iPad's mail app- so that it takes up the full screen?

    How can I change the display of Inbox in my iPad's mail app- so that it takes up the whole screen, as opposed to just about one third; the other two thirds display the full text of the selected email?

    You can't change the display in the Mail app, if you are holding the iPad in landscape orientation then the left-hand third will be for navigation, and the right-hand two-thirds will be an email. If you hold the iPad in portrait orientation then the navigation section becomes a drop-down section.

  • How can I change my icloud email details and password on icloud

    how can I change my icloud email details and password on my iphone 5s tried all day without success, I have changed my apple ID and password thats okay.
    Joan

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Can i change address book font?  and size?

    can I change my address book font and font size?  operating system is OS 10.9

    OK, I just answered my own question.  But since there have been so many questions on this forum over the years - about changing fonts/sizes/colors - I thought I would share what I learned with others.  Remember that I'm using OS 10.9 and Contacts 8.0. and this may not apply to older or future versions:
    Whe you are in "Contacts," click on "File" and drop down to "print."  Click on "Print."
    A printer page will come up.  On this page, look at the lower righthand quadrant.  You are given a choice to select either "layout" or "label."  Click on "label."  Now you will see, the bottom of that block, the word "Font."  Immediately following that word, you will read the name of the font that "Contacts" is pre-set for, which, in my case says "System Font Regualr-12.0."  To change this font, you now click on the button to the right that says "Set."  When you click on "set" a drop down menu will appear.  Voila!  From here you can choose your preferred typeface, color, and font size. 
    Have fun. Glad I could help myself.  Hope this helps you!

  • Can we change the name of a resposibility which is already defined custom

    Hi All
    I have adoubt that can we change the name of a resposibility which is defined customly,if yes how?
    Thanks
    Praneeth

    Just some small addition,
    The responsibility name change could have problem if you have the resp name hardcoded in your conc program parameters, or harcoded inside your code (host,pl/sql, reports, etc). So you should change it accordingly, or don't hardcode it, instead pass the responsibility name or id from the concurrent program parameter by passing from the profile values. The recommended way is to passed the RESP_ID instead of RESP_NAME.
    However if you passed on the RESP_NAME profile value it should be fine unless it is a scheduled concurrent request, you will need to cancel it and re-submit the scheduled request so that the parameter will take the new resp name.

  • How can we differ which is a fact and which is a dimension?

    Hi All,
    I'm a new bee to OBIEE...
    If any one can help me out or provide me a link...
    if we have multiple facts and dimensions? How can we differ which is a fact and which is a dimension?
    Thnkx in Advance.

    Hi ,
    You can identify the facts and Dimension based on the data.
    You have to analyze.
    Generaly the Table with measure column (Max column in the table) we will consider as Fact.
    Table with attribute as Dimensions.
    For the Facts we can apply the aggregate rules.
    Thanks,

    I'm not a fan of LaunchPad myself and after trying to make it work for me several times have now removed it from the Dock as it's a) buggy as heck and b) too much like a giant iPhone interface for a Desktop screen - perhaps it works for a Fisher-Price toy or the Disabled but it's not for me.
