Can I use compare mode with dual monitors? (LR 3.5)

Hello.
I'm a new Lightroom user, and was wondering if it's possible to span the compare mode across two monitors, so the curent select is on the left, and the candidate is on the right? This would be extremely helpful for me.
I've seen another thread from 2009 without an answer, and searching forums doesn't seem to turn up much else.
Thanks in advance!
Bart

You can use Loupe Locked or Loupe Live on the second screen to make comparisons with the primary screen selecting different pictures or views. Is this a way to meet your needs? Select Loupe Normal, Live or Locked either in the top toolbar on the secondary screen or hold left click on the 2 second screen icon in the primary screen.

How can one use Mission Control with two monitors? Please bring Spaces back

How can one use Mission Control with two monitors. With Spaces I could treat each space as a single desktop.
SyBB

I use two monitors at work and have no issue. I have my mail set to use Desktop 1 and iTunes set to the second monitor of Desktop 1. I have browsers set to Desktop 2 and Fusion and RDC set to Desktop 3.
Two things that may help you. In System Preferences > Mission Control, disable the setting "Automatically rearrange spaces...". This screwed with assigning applications to certain spaces. And the other thing is don't use full screen on apps that support it. This just makes your second monitor superfluous.

Visualise Spots with dual monitors

I'm finding some eratic behaviour when using Visualise Spots with dual monitors.
I have Development open on one window and the Loupe view open on the other. When I click on the Visualise Spots both windows show the visualisation. When I click the button off - both windows switch to normal view - most of the time.
Occasionally it will switch off in the Development view but stay on the Loupe view on the second monitor. It only goes away when I switch to another image.
Is anyone else seeing this behaviour?
Roy

I have found that's it's linked to zoom level.
I can't quite make out what's going on but the behaviour is very strange.

How do i run an external monitor with my macbook and change settings so that when i close the lid the signal to the monitor is not lost and i can continue using the mac with a mouse and a wireless keyboard?

No, nothing will prevent the computer from going to sleep when you close its display except third-party hacks that are designed to do exactly that. I strongly advise against using any of those, as they may interfere with successful entry into clamshell mode (and they carry other downside risks as well). Just wait until the computer is asleep (with its sleep light pulsing), then press any key on the keyboard. It sounds as though your setup is working as it's designed to do.

Can I use two HP Pavillion 23bw monitors with my MBP with Retina Display?

Can I use two HP Pavillion 23bw monitors with my MBP with Retina Display with good video quality? I just purchased them and am already reading about issues with non-Apple External Monitors being used with MBP with Retina. Plus I just assumed it given the power of the video card, but I can turn off the display to my MBP and extend the two HP monitors correct? I do realize they won't have the picture quality of the retina display but I would hope they look reasonable with 1080p
New to the Support Community so thanks in advance for any help.

This is an update on the question about the use of the Dell P2415Q 4K monitor with MacBook Pro 13" and 15" w/ Nvidia graphics card installed. The monitor works very well with both systems and is automatically identified when connected. The 13" machine with Iris Graphics defaults to 2560 x 1440 at 60hz. This was very workable, matching the Apple Thunderbolt Display for resolution. I was not able to set the display for full 4K at 3840 x 2160, even at 30hz. Just not enough horsepower with the basic Intel CPU with Iris Graphics. But make no mistake, the setup works well and the screen looks great.
The 15" with Iris Pro Graphics and the Nvidia GeForce GT 575M discrete graphics card also recognized the display and drove it at full 4K, 3840 x 2160, 60hz with no problems. Running in clamshell mode required a bit of fine tuning with the Apple display settings. But nothing major.
Due to a relatively small workstation, I selected the 24" version of the Dell monitor. If you are looking for a relatively large monitor with near "retina" resolution, the P2415Q is a perfect pairing for the MacBook Pro - and a terrific bargain. I paid $530 on the Dell website.

[SOLVED] openbox margins with dual monitors

Hi community,
I have stumbled to a nasty problem on my first incursion to dual monitors in openbox.
I'm using xrandr with this command (which works just fine BTW):
xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1280x800 --primary --output VGA-0 --mode 1280x1024_60.00 --gamma 1.0:1.4:0.85 --right-of LVDS
and have set a Virtual screen in xorg.conf of 2560 x 1024 pixels.
But, my laptop monitor only handles 1280x800, while my external LCD monitor has 1280x1024, so there is a virtual area under my laptop screen which i'm not using, but i dont really care about that.
The problem is that when I'm setting screen margins, so that maximized windows will respect the panels in the bottom (tint2), in rc.xml (or by obconf) the margins are applied to the virtual screen and only are practical on the external monitor wich has more pixel height.
I'm really missing some kind of per monitor margin settings in openbox, maybe there is and i haven't found it? It makes me wonder because openbox can maximize windows to a single monitor, even if the whole layout it's treated like a virtual screen, so it has some way of distinguishing between them.
I would appreciate any suggestions, thanks.

TL;DR - I'm not aware of any acceptable solution at the moment.
Basically, what you're having problems with, is the "dead area." It can really be quite a pain in the butt if window managers or other screen aware applications don't anticipate it properly. To my knowledge, Openbox doesn't support margins on a monitor-by-monitor basis. In reality, you shouldn't need to be setting margins anyway. Tint2 should be reporting itself as a taskbar, and Openbox should be respecting that.
I have dead area too, with multiple monitors, and Openbox respects both of the KDE taskbars I have running (one on each monitor). (I use KDE and simply replaced Kwin with Openbox.) This tells me that tint2 should be able to cooperate with Openbox. I remember trying tint2 a while ago, and didn't fine it adequate in a dual monitor environment (it was probably a year ago or so). tint2 would need to be setting the _NET_WM_STRUT_PARTIAL hint, and I'm not sure if it is (or if it's doing it properly). See http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spe … #id2507618
Also, I do know that the developer for Openbox recently got a dual monitor setup, and she's been adding additional support for dual monitors a little at a time. Hopefully with 3.5, there will be a lot more support. (Margin support for multiple monitors would be great, because it could be a good utility knife for applications that don't care about multi-monitors setups and don't set the proper hints.)
If you're capable of modifying tint2, my course of action would be to try something that works (like the KDE taskbars) and record the hints being set there. Then compare them with tint2 and try to mirror KDE's setup. (If you're a programming lacking experience with X and related nonsense, I'd be more than willing to offer what guidance I have.)
Also, I developed a panel myself (and got pretty far along) using the PyGTK toolkit... But I can't remember if I solved this problem or not. I'll try to check it out and get back to you. (I got as far as implementing a widget system that includes a task list, system tray, clock, menus... It just isn't polished very well. My original intention was for it to be a more robust PyPanel with dual monitor support.)

Need to launch Organizer Twice to work with Dual Monitors

If I open a project or either Photoshop Elements 10 or PRE10 and then click on Organizer it loads, but sits in the taskbar below. If I hover over it the AERO Windows (Win 7) pops up showing it's loaded. But It will not maximize. This is when I had last used it on a second monitor so I can easily compare before and afters. However, if I right click on it and close it, then reopen it, it launches perfectly in the 2nd monitor. Does this every time. I ussually leave it open all the time now to avoid this but I don't know how sesitive the catalogs are if the system is rebooted for some reason.
I did no specific configuration for dual monitors, Just dragged it over there when I wanted to use it.
Thanks,
Joe..

Hi Joe,
This is a known issue with dual monitors and got to know that Organizer people are tracking it as a bug for now.
Hope this will be fixed soon.
Thanks

Opensource ATI can't switch video modes with CTRL+ALT+plus/minus

Hi,
I've updated my system to the new xorg-server and video driver.
The new video driver (xf86-video-ati-6.7.195-1) can't switch video modes with the CTRL+ALT+plus/minus key combination. I use this key combination a lot and before I upgraded to the new driver this worked :-(
Anybody else having this problem?
I know I can use xrandr to change the video mode, but it doesn't exactly do what I want. Xrandr changes the video mode, but also changes the resolution of the screen, while CTRL+ALT+plus/minus keeps the resolution intact (the screensize is bigger than what is seen on the monitor, you can scroll the screen by moving the mouse "out" of the monitor)
Is there a fix/patch that I can try?

It looks like this is the result of the new opensource ati drivers use the new xrandr.
One of the changes is that it will treat the screen section in xorg.conf differently. Browsing through video modes, using the CTRL+ALT+plus/minus key combination, that are defined in the screen section in xorg.conf is not possible anymore.

How can I use Local SPAN with RSPAN ??
I want to mirror traffics from ISP-A and ISP-B to Anomaly-detector module.
so I had configured like this...

remote-span
monitor session 10 source interface Gi5/1 - 2 rx
monitor session 10 destination remote vlan 1000

monitor session 10 destination remote vlan 1000
interface GigabitEthernet1/13
switchport
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1000
switchport mode trunk
no ip address
end
but it was not working..
it wasn't any change of input packet hit count when
I'd enter a command 'show anomaly-detector module 3 data-port 1 traffic'
was upper configuration wrong..?
Can I use VACL configuration ?

try to change "monitor session 10 destination remote vlan 1000 " to "monitor session 10 destination anomaly-detector-module 3 data-port 1 " on C6500-A

Run screensaver independently with dual monitors

Nope. Can't do it.

Interfacing with dual-monitor machine

Hello all--
I've got a G5 at home with dual monitors on which I run 3D animation software with lots of panels. I'd like to be able to control the G5 from work using a laptop (possibly also connected to an external monitor). Is it possible to display both screens of the desktop using ARDv3 on the laptop? Some users have mentioned they can do this but the size of the remote screens is unsatisfactory. So, again, can you visualize both screens well via the remote computer?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

you can view both screens at once but it will be scaled to fit on the screen you have... so what you see is dependent on the resolution of both client monitors and your admin computer's monitor.
you can also select to view a single monitor of the client computer.
i've never run ARD admin on a computer with 2 monitors so i'm not sure how it handles it but i'm guessing that you can view both monitors on both admin monitors.... it'll probably scale down or up dependent on resolution.

How can I use Safe Mode to troubleshoot in Windows 8 or Windows 7?

QuestionHow can I use Safe Mode to troubleshoot in Windows 8 or Windows 7?
AnswerWindows has a special mode known as Safe Mode. It is not fully functional, but it allows you to make changes to the laptop to hopefully fix normal mode. We're going to attempt to boot into Safe Mode to use it fix the laptop.
For more information on how to boot into Safe Mode please see the following articles:
How To: Safe Mode and other Advanced Startup Options in Windows 8
Creating a System Repair Disc for Windows 8 (useful for entering Safe Mode)
How To: Start your Windows 7 computer in Safe Mode
Use Safe Mode to undo recent changes
When a computer won't start Windows, it's usually due to a recent change. If you installed a new piece of software before your laptop began to have trouble booting, you may want to uninstall it. Similarly, if you recently made a change to any system settings, you may want to change it back. If you have antivirus software, you may want to perform a scan. If you're not sure what to do here, feel free to skip to the next step!
Use Safe Mode to perform a system restore
Windows includes a utility called System Restore that can help with many problems. While this won't alter or remove any of your personal files, it will roll back your system settings and files to an earlier date. We'll use this to attempt to fix Windows.
To learn how to use System Restore, please check the following articles:
How To: Understanding System Restore, Refresh, Reset, and, Recovery options in Windows 8 + Video
How To: Perform a system restore in Windows 7
Use Safe Mode to initiate a clean boot
As Windows loads, it loads many additional components such as services and startup items. Some of these are not vital. For example, some tools start immediately with Windows, such as antivirus software. From Safe Mode, we can instruct Windows not to load many of these. This will help you determine if one is causing Windows not to load properly. Note that this step is more advanced than the previous steps. If it seems difficult for you, you may consider asking for help from someone who is more comfortable with computers.
Please view the following article for more information:
How can I perform a clean startup without my startup items to troubleshoot a problem?
If Windows loads normally, you'll know one of those startup items or services was causing the problem. If this is the case, you may want to return to the System Configuration Utility and re-enable some items and services to determine which specific one caused the problem.
Backing up your data
If you're able to enter Safe Mode, backing up your data should be easy. Connect a USB flash drive or external drive to your computer while in Safe Mode and then copy your important files to the flash drive or external drive.
You may also want to consider taking your computer to a professional.

Would love to know if this is possible. Found forums dating back years asking exactly the same thing, no solutions. And I do not want to change my headset (Sennheiser MM-50), or use the onboard mic (which sounds like you are using your Mac in a wind tunnel once the fans kick in).

Can i use my imac as second monitor for my pc / notebook

Can i use my imac as second monitor for my pc / notebook

Without any knowledge of the year machines you have it's impossible to answer that question. iMacs adn MBA's have been around for many years now so we have no idea of the exact specs your machine have. Remember when posting you need to be complete and paint a picture for us as we aren't there to look for ourselves. Your question should be posted something like:
" I have a 2011 27" iMac and a 2009 MacBook Air, can I use the iMac as an external display for my MacBook Air?"
BTW what you are referring to is called Target Display Mode. Apple does support that on some 2009-2011 iMacs. You can find additional information at:

Can i use iCloud keychain with my own passwords and not with what is assigned and stored?

tammersalem wrote:) <-HDMI-> (HDTV)
My main concerns are:
-If I use iTunes on my main computer, will it then be available to Apple TV?
-If I use Apple TV to download will it be available to my Main computer?
-Can the Apple TV use a media server for storage over LAN (using NTFS Samab or otherwise)?
Basically iTunes feeds AppleTv with media either syncing (copying to it) or streaming live.
Media must be compatible with AppleTV.
AppleTV requires a proper iTunes instance running - it cannot access a NAS directly.
If you store media in a folder on a NAS and it's part of the computer iTunes library (just stored on the NAS vs internal/external drive), then when running iTunes makes this content available to AppleTV.
Data will travel:
NAS > network > iTunes > network to AppleTV
As the path is potentially slower than internal/external attached drive > iTunes > network > AppleTV, it may or may not work robustly for streaming.
If AppleTv is set to sync (it can also stream in this mode), when you purchase direct on AppleTV, the media should sync back to where the itunes library is stored (via iTunes) to keep things in sync and to allow you to backup the media.
You cannot drag/drop media to/from AppleTv across the network, nor can it directly access storage itself - iTunes is an essential cog in the wheel.
The majority of commercial 'in-built iTunes media servers' will not work directly with AppleTV as it has to be 'paired' with iTunes by entering a numerical code in iTunes and does not simply see 'shared libraries'.
