Can't output to a 2nd monitor anymore...

I'm using Adobe CC 7.0.2, iMac 27" 3.2ghz, OSX 10.8.4, and have a second screen attached through the Thunderbolt/DVI adapter.
Up until about a week or so ago I was able to play output full screen to it and still edit on my 1st screen (Mac) - but even if i have Screen 1 or 2 selected, it won't playout to either of them. I don't use Matrox or any external devices, and it's frustrating as I don't believe I've changed anything since. I have Enable Transmit on in the Program window too.

I don't know what it is - I have Enable Transmit on the Program monitor to enable it to do so, and I can't go back to 7.0 or 6.0 as I'm now working on projects in 7.0.1 and don't want to keep chopping and changing.

How do I add an output for a 2nd monitor?

I have a mac mini that was purchased in 2009 I believe, maybe 2008. The operating system has been upgraded to Snow Leopard. I want to add a 2nd monitor, so I can use 2 at the same time, however, there is only one output. Is there a way to add an output for a 2nd monitor? OS is 10.6.X. not at the computer right now to check.
Thanks for input.

If the back of your mini looks like this:
- then you have two display ports already (Mini DVI Port and MiniDisplayPort). I only mention this, as it may not be obvious! You just need the right adapters to feed your two monitors.
If it looks like this:
- then you do indeed only have one display output (DVI) and then ignore me, and listen to Asatoran!

Helix can't boot without a 2nd monitor attached

Hi,
I maintain a Helix (36984RU) that gets used for presentations. It will not boot to Windows without a second monitor attached. I can hear the fan spin up and the unit gets warm, but the screen remains blank. The only thing I can do is to shutdown by holding down the power button.
When booting with a 2nd monitor or projector attached, the startup Lenovo logo appears on the 2nd screen and the laptop screen remains blank. When the Windows login screen appears, it appears correctly on the laptop screen. I've checked the Windows Screen Resolution page and it correctly shows the laptop monitor as the primary monitor.
This issue presents itself whether or not I disconnect the 2nd monitor prior to shutdown/restart, or whether I remove the 2nd monitor before restart. It also does not make a difference if I start in tablet or docked mode.
I've updated the BIOS to version 1.29 and have checked that the boot display device is set to Thinkpad LCD, and not either of the two displayport options.
Any tips on this would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks!

I don't know what it is - I have Enable Transmit on the Program monitor to enable it to do so, and I can't go back to 7.0 or 6.0 as I'm now working on projects in 7.0.1 and don't want to keep chopping and changing.

After first restart after installing Mavericks the system can't identify the internal MacBook Monitor anymore

I am writing this using an external monitor in the office from my MacBookPro 8,1 (April 2011). After installing the upgrade the monitor worked fine. After shutting down the system and restarting it the next day the apple sign was shown for some seconds, then - I assume this was the time when the operating system was was finished loading, the screen went black and stayed that way.I the attached screen shot one can see that only one external monitor is identified (sorry for the german language). Anyone has any idea what to do except downgrading using time-machine? this is what I am about to do. thanks for any help or ideas!

The auto-conversion to core storage is not a bug anymore than the automatic drive encryption during the Setup Assistant unless you pay close attention. Apple is giving you the push into the future of OS X.
Furthermore, Apple does not really support Linux, ESP, or rEFInd. Windows is only supported via Boot Camp on a drive that has only one extant partition - OS X. The consequence of this is that Apple will not test this other configurations for any compatibility with OS X. We may not like that but it is what it is.
I am quite familiar with configuring multi-boot volumes like yours, so please don't call me a fanboy because I don't see things all your way.

Outputting video to 2nd monitor

Hi there...
I have a G5 with the standard Ge Force FX 5200 which has one DVI and one ADC port.
I've just bought a 21.5' display to use as my main monitor (from the DVI port via a VGA converter), and I'm was wandering if I can use my old monitor (a 17' DVI/VGA) as a second monitor to display video on in Logic.
Presumably I would need either an ADC > DVI converter or an ADC > VGA converter to do it, but will the video card actually support this way of working?
Logic it appears can support this and I quote:
"Choosing the Video Output > Digital Cinema Desktop: Choose this option to preview your video on any available display unit that is connected to an AGP graphics card (not PCI). If you have 2 computer displays, one can be used to view the Logic interface, while the other can be used as a dedicated video monitor."
Also, will I have any issues with dimensions/resolution because the new monitor is 21.5' widescreen and the old one is 17' regular.
I hope someone can help (shiny stars for those that do)! This would really improve things for me - cheers, sidx

I don't know if your graphics card will support it, but you could try reposting your question here -

I expect you'll get more answers. If I were to guess, I'd think it would work, with something like this:

Mactracker says "Dual display extended and video mirroring" for your machine, FWIW
but don't take my guess as gospel

Outputing to 2nd Monitor

Our facility is streaming using Adobe Media Live Encoder. We are building a new facility and I want to send the output of the stream to NTSC output of my video card so we can monitor the stream from the office area. My goal is to have the output of all 3 channels on a quad view monitor with our 3 channels and the front door security camera. We are currently using Flash Media Live Encoder 3 and I don't see any options for outputing to a 2nd monitor.
Thanks,

Dennis,
Thanks for the reply. If by "quit" you mean minimize, then yes it does, but if I actually quite the application and reopen it, it reopens on the primary screen and I have to drag it again to the secondary monitor. At first I thought it might just be the app, but all of them do the same thing (iTunes, Safari, etc.) Is there any special setting that needs to be set in order for it to work?

2nd Monitor died - How does one grab tools back from "that" desktop?

Hi -
One of our two monitors died. There are tools on the 2nd monitor's desktop that we can't "see" until the 2nd monitor returns. How do we pull those tools over to the main desktop?
Also, there are a few finder windows that are too large to grab the bottom scaler and shrink them back. (There is no tool bar on the top of the second monitor giving just a little bit more room.) Is there a minimize button somewhere for "finder" windows?
Thanks!

Ps - just found the "zoom" button on my own - so - I have the finder windows under control - now to learn how to get to that other desktop without the view into the other desktop!

In win7 there is a shortcut to alter the display (WINKEY+P). Try use this. If not work, maybe a problem with the cable of the notebook display.

Can't run flash player in full screen on 2nd monitor

Hi all! I have a laptop with dual video displays. The main
display is the laptop's LCD and the 2nd display is a 19" LCD
connected via VGA cable. I want to let a Flash movie loop endlessly
on the second monitor while I continue to work on the laptop. When
I drag Flash Player 8 over to the 2nd monitor and start the movie,
I can hit maxmize and it will take up the entire 2nd montior as it
should...with the file options and boarder around as expected. I
then hit Ctrl-F to go full screen and it snaps directly to the
laptop's primary monitor. I tried it at work where my desktop has 2
displays and the same thing happens. I need to force Flash player
to run full screen on the 2nd monitor and cannot find a way to
accomplish this. Any help is appreciated because it's driving me
nuts. I can always make the external monitor my primary but then
the start button and all my icons move there too and that is not
acceptable. Thanx!

Seriously? No one has any thoughts about this? I can't
believe I would be the first to come across this issue.

Can I use a 2nd Monitor at 4K resolution (quad hd, 3840 x 2160 pixels)

HP Envy TS 17 Notebook, Product # E4S19UALaptop is running Intel HD Graphics 4600, and I have 16Gb memory installed. I use a 2nd monitor all the time via the HDMI port - works great. Both the laptop and the current 2nd monitor are running at 1920x1080 resolution (HD). I would like to attach a 4K monitor - (UHD-1) 3840x2160 resolution - 4 x "regular" HD (twice the horizontal and twice the vertical resolution). Will this laptop be able to operate the 4K monitor at 3840x2160 resolution (even at 30hz would be okay - not for games but rather for word processing, spreadsheets, software development)? Don't want to invest in the fancy new monitor if the laptop cannot drive it! Here is an exampe monitor: Samsung 28 Inch Ultra High Resolution LED Monitor (U28D590D), available on Amazon.com. Thanks!

Thanks for the information! As a suggestion, I have a copy of that manual, and it does indeed state precisely the information that I needed. Funny thing is, I looked in the TOC and the Index for anything related to external monitors and HDMI, and there wasn't anything that pointed to that page. Perhaps for future User's Manuals, the TOC and/or Index could include such references. Either way, thank you so much for the help! Also, for folks who are interested in higher resolution external displays, there is the option to use USB devices such as that from www.plugable.com to attach devices. I don't yet have their USB 3.0 4K compatible one, but I have been using their USB 2.0 HD compatible one for several years so that I can have 3 monitors (built-in, external, Plubable USB) - and it works very well. Flawless operation, though refresh rate is slow (not good for gaming). Which works for me, because it is mainly for surfing and email.

Can't get 2nd Monitor to Work

I have a MacBook Pro 2.16 Core Duo. I also have a Dell LCD display, about 3 years old. I can connect the Dell monitor with a DVI cable, but the MacBook doesn't sense it.
My only clue is that on the MacBook, there are four pins right by the horizontal "blade" pin in the DVI output, but the Dell monitor, which is also DVI, does not have inputs for those four pins. I notice that some DVI cables have those four pins, and some don't.
Help!

Thanks for the help. I now understand DVI better, but that didn't solve teh issue.
I took my Mac and Dell monitor to the genius bar today. They confirmed that my Mac external port supports other monitors, but not this one. We plugged another Mac into the monitor and still nothing. SO either the Dell LCD monitor is not compatible with Mac, or there is some keystroke that must be made to sense the Dell that I haven't figured out. Was on the phone with Dell also - they suggested command-F2, but that didn't do anything.

Hello to all: My iMac has developed a video display problem. It displays everything in cartoon like colors - purple, green, blue. Can this be repaired? Is there a way to output to a different monitor? Thanks in advance! isplays

Hello -
My iMac has developed a video display problem. Everything now appears in a strange, cartoonish way. Purples, greens, blues. Can this be fixed, and if so, any idea how much it might cost? Also, could I output to a seperate monitor? I plan to replace the unit , but cannot right now. Thanks!

Go to System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing.
In the Display area, reset it to "Black on white" by clicking that checkbox.
You can also reset it by pressing Command-Option-Control-8

Can the 2nd monitor be an extended desktop?

i know its a silly and simple question but im new to hooking up a second monitor. So if i get the right connector from the apple store and hook up a second monitor can it be an extended desktop or will it only be a mirrored image?

Can the 2nd monitor be an extended desktop?
Yes.
