Can I designate one monitor as the main monitor over the other?

I have a 24-inch IMac and a second monitor that I also run. However, when I try to play one of my older games, my IMac monitor does not have a low enough resolution setting. My second monitor does, but I cannot get the game to play on the second monitor.
Is there a way to designate my second monitor as the main monitor so as to use that lower resolution setting (the specific game that I am having a problem with is Starcraft... trying to play it in Windows XP...)????
Thanks for any suggestions you may offer...

Open the displays control panel. On the main display you'll get a dialog box which shows a graphic of your two displays showing their orientation to each other. One of the two will have a bar going across the top of it which represents the menu bar. Drag the menu bar to the other display and it will become the main display.

    Help, please.

    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : 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.

  • Can an external monitor be the main monitor?

    Is there a way to make my external monitor the main monitor, i.e. the one with the menu bar at the top, without just "mirroring" the display?

    Yes. With the external monitor connected (and mirroring off), in System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement tab, where you see the icons of the two displays, drag the menu bar from the current location to the other display. That will move the menu bar and dock to the external display.

  • HT1660 how can I use one single library for all users on the same laptop?

    how can I use one single library for all users on the same laptop?

    You are most of the way there. Each user having access to hard drive is the key. If users are limited in file privileges this is harder.
    Any files you add to your library and any files she adds to her library are available to the other. Just not automatically. Each user must add the files to their own library using the add file or add folder option from menu bar.
    What I have done is set library location to a location outside of My Documents\My Music. On my network storage I have a folder names s:\itunes. Both accounts iTunes are set to use this location for the library.

  • How do I get firefox 4 on Windows 7 to 'remember' to open on monitor 2? It keeps opening on the main monitor, only.

    When you open a program in a multi-monitor set-up and transfer the program to the second monitor and close it, when it next opens it should open on the second monitor. Firefox 3.x performed this way. Firefox 4 does not -- it only opens on the main monitors, always.
    Please build this into the product or provide an option for it?
    Thanks,

    Update: I forgot something about the way BootCamp installs Windows...
    I had temporarily turned off BlueTooth on OS X because I didn't need it, and when you do that, it effectively removes it from the system's list of devices.
    So I just wiped the Windows partition, turned BT back on in OS X, and re-installed Windows. Just to make sure, I went through and manually installed all the drivers by hand and then let the BootCamp utility install them as well, and it's been working like a charm!

    I have Iphone 4, version 4.3.3 (8J2) How can i remove the brightness toolbar from the main page, below the applications above the shorcuts?

    There is no brightness toolbar unless your iPhone is jailbroken.  If so, you can try to restore to remove the JB.
    The only place brightness exists is under Settings.

    and I need to work on music not only in time but the battery after that.

    Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
    Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
    Thanks again!

  • I have an iMac and iphoto.  Currently I am having a problem with an album in iphoto.  When I double click on the album all I get in the main body of the screen is a triangle with an exclamation mark and my 2 photos show at the very bottom of the window.

    I have an imac and am using iphoto.  Currently I am having a problem with one particular album which shows in the main part of the window a triangle with an exclamation point.  The two photos are at the bottom of the main window in the same area where the "info" "edit" "create" area is.  I can see the two photos but I can not get them back into the main part of the window.  I can't drag them anywhere either.  I can't double click or right click on either of the two photos either. All I can do is click on either one and they get a little bigger.  Before I saw the exclamation point in the main body of the window all I get is two squares with nothing in them and the entire border is made up of dashes.  Can someone help me?

    Make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and  apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
                                            Screenshot is for iPhoto 9
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Website help: Creating a side bar then the main part of the webpage??

    Hi guys, im currently making a website in dreamweaver but ive coe into some problems and theyve got me stumped...
    basically, i have been using dreamweaver and ive managed to create a side bar for my website with separate div tages etc and now i want to create the main body of the page, eg the menu and the images but i cant get it do do what i want it to do...
    when i insert the div tag for the main body part of my page it is placed above the side bar when i want it to the side of it, inline with it.... /: its fustrting cust ive been able to style all of the side bar and ive wanted to complete the rest of the site but currently im unable to...

    OK, here is how you need to look at your page:
    The outermost defined area is the body. Generally, to set up a website, you create basic "applies to all" stuff in the body definitions in your style sheet:
    For example:
    body {
              font-family: "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Grande", sans-serif;
              color: #000;
              background-color: #FFFFFF;
              margin: 20px 0;
              padding: 0px;
    That's going to create normal paragraph text in the website as Lucidia Sans (or Lucidia Grande if the client doesn't have that defaulting to sans-serif if that is not available), text color is black, background is white, top margin is 20 pixels, clear left and right margins and clear all padding.
    Now, you need to enclose the "website" into something that encases everything and I usually call that an outer wrapper.
    .outer-Wrapper {
              width: 80%;
              max-width: 1260px;/* a max-width may be desirable to keep this layout from getting too wide on a large monitor. This keeps line length more readable. IE6 does not respect this declaration. */
              min-width: 780px;/* a min-width may be desirable to keep this layout from getting too narrow. This keeps line length more readable in the side columns. IE6 does not respect this declaration. */
              background: #FFF;
              margin: 0 auto; /* the auto value on the sides, coupled with the width, centers the layout. It is not needed if you set the .container's width to 100%. */
    Explanations in comments.
    Now, you set up the rest of your page:
    .header {
    #nav {
              margin-left: 20%;
    /* ~~ These are the columns for the layout. ~~
    1) Padding is only placed on the top and/or bottom of the divs. The elements within these divs have padding on their sides. This saves you from any "box model math". Keep in mind, if you add any side padding or border to the div itself, it will be added to the width you define to create the *total* width. You may also choose to remove the padding on the element in the div and place a second div within it with no width and the padding necessary for your design.
    2) No margin has been given to the columns since they are all floated. If you must add margin, avoid placing it on the side you're floating toward (for example: a right margin on a div set to float right). Many times, padding can be used instead. For divs where this rule must be broken, you should add a "display:inline" declaration to the div's rule to tame a bug where some versions of Internet Explorer double the margin.
    3) Since classes can be used multiple times in a document (and an element can also have multiple classes applied), the columns have been assigned class names instead of IDs. For example, two sidebar divs could be stacked if necessary. These can very easily be changed to IDs if that's your preference, as long as you'll only be using them once per document.
    4) If you prefer your nav on the right instead of the left, simply float these columns the opposite direction (all right instead of all left) and they'll render in reverse order. There's no need to move the divs around in the HTML source.
    .sidebar {
              float: left;
              width: 20%;
              background-color: #cccccc;
              padding-bottom: 10px;
              color: #FFF;
    .content {
              padding: 10px 0;
              width: 80%;
              float: left;
              color: #000;
    Lastly, you want your footer to be below both columns, so you define that:
    .footer {
              padding: 10px 0;
              position: relative;/* this gives IE6 hasLayout to properly clear */
              clear: both; /* this clear property forces the .container to understand where the columns end and contain them */
              background-color: #eeeeee; /*This makes it gray so that it is separated from the rest of the page, but isn't too dark for black text */
    Now, let's go to the html:
    Define your page. Dreamweaver will allow you to define a page as XHTML 1.0 transitional or strict or XHTML 1.1, HTML 4.01 transitional or strict or HTML5. Older versions of Dreamweaver have no HTML5 and may have older versons of HTML, but I either use XHTML 1.0 transitional or HTML5. There are good reasons for this.
    Dreamweaver will set up the site definitions depending on what you choose above the <head> area.
    Within the <head> area, you define the character set, give a title (make it unique for each page in your website) and point to your style sheet. You can use Dreamweaver's "Attach stylesheet." Any calls to JavaScript go here as well. If you have a separate style sheet for a drop-down menu structure or any other navigation, it will go there as well. Remember to close the <head> tag.
    Now, we define the body and go into the page:
    <body>
    <div class="outer-Wrapper">
    <div  ="header"> Header Goes Here</div>
    <div id="nav">Navigation placed here</div>
    <div class="sidebar">Your sidebar will go here</div>
    <div class="content">Your main content goes here and it will live to the right of your sidebar on the left</div>
    <div class="footer">I generally put the copyright information here and sometimes additional navigation in the footer</div>
    <div> <!-- Ends the outer-Wrapper -->
    </body>
    </html>
    This will absolutely work.

How do i get both my IPAD devices to display the PDF icons/attachments? Bearing in mind if i open the same email over the internet the PDF Icons/attachments display OK!
    Has anyone come across this? Your advice/help would be most appreciated

    This happens to me all the time.
    If is a one page PDF it seems as though it comes over already open and inline in the body of the email. Multiple page PDF files show as the PDF icon.
    I can't find any official documentation of this - other than based on my own experience with PDF attachments in my various email accounts.

  • Gray background behind the main icons at the bottom. Take it away!

    gray background behind the main icons at the bottom. Take it away!

    Is this about using a lightweight theme (Persona) to style the user interface with a background image?
    Are you using an extension that deals with such a theme?
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
    If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit)
