Change settings for external displays: no "mirror displays" mode

Hello,
I'm using a 13" MBP with Snow Leopard. I'm using different displays and projectors in different locations. When you plug an external display in, the two displays are first in "mirror displays" mode. First thing I do is to switch this off.
Is there any way of changing the settings, so that an external display doesn't start in the synchronized mode??
Thanks in advance.

only if you plug in this projector again. If you plug in a new projector (which I often do) it allways starts in "mirrored" mode.
I just found an app which - at least - makes the switching easier:

    Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten passcode:
    Restore (and reset passcode) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)
    If recovery does not work there's:

  • HT201250 How do you stop a Macbookpro with OSX 10.7.5 from turning off or logging off before timemachine is finished with the backup even though I have changed settings for energy management to "never" shutdown when plugged in to an outlet?

    My problem is my Macbookpro mid 2010 with OSX 10.7.5 seems to turn off or logs off before timemachine is finished with the backup even though I have changed settings for energy management to "never" shutdown when plugged in to an outlet?

    I had this problem on an IMac and I finally found a solution in an unlikely place. The problem was a security setting. I don't remember right this moment the exact setting and I am not on that machine right now but when I am I will try to retrace my steps to the fix. In the meantime check your security settings and any browser or browser extensions for computer log off settings. These settings are intended to prevent unauthorized use and incidentally screw up your backups. Hope this helps.

  • Is it possible to turn off imac display while mirrored display plays video?

    I've set up a new 21.5" imac for my parents use in their living room and have connected their 52" lcd tv to the imac as a mirrored display.
    One issue that i can't find a solution to is to find a way to turn OFF the imac display when they're watching content on the lcd tv. If they want to watch a film from the imac out to the LCD TV, they want to dim the lights and watch it, but the imac display being on in the dark room is distracting.
    Is their any way (3rd party software??) to turn off the imac display while still being able to have the mirrored display running?

    You should actually NOT use mirroring, although it would work OK on the 21.5-inch iMac because the screen resolution is identical to 1080p HDTV.
    In System Preferences Displays pane Arrangement tab, turn mirroring OFF. This makes the HDTV screen extend the iMac's Desktop. In the diagram on that pane, it shows how the two screen arranged. The edge where they touch is where you can move your mouse cursor from one screen to the other. You can move the two screen around in the diagram, to match how the iMac and HDTV are located in the real world.
    In System Preferences Displays pane Display tab, there will be a window for each screen. The 21.5-inch iMac's screen should be set to 1920x1080. The HDTV's screen should be set to 1920x1080 also, if it is a "1080p" HDTV.
    To watch video content on the HDTV, first show the video playing in a window. Drag the window to the HDTV screen so that it is completely on that screen. Give the full screen command (usually Command-F). The video will play in full screen mode on the HDTV screen. In most video playing applications, such as DVD Player, QuickTime Player, iTunes, etc., the other screen (the iMac's screen in this case) will go black. It's not OFF, but it will display black.
    Note: Some video playing apps have a preference setting for which screen gets the full screen. When playing video content in a browser window (such as YouTube or Hulu), when you go to full screen mode by clicking the +full screen+ button, the other screen will not go black.
    As far as I know, there is no way to turn off the iMac display, even with mirroring turned OFF.

  • How to change settings for all users?

    Hi All,
    In cPro we have User Settings button. On clicking that we get a Tabstrip where you will find "User" tab.
    my question is: How can we change the default settings for all users e.g setting the checkbox "Scheduling only manually" to true ?
    Best Regards,
    Arti.

    Hi Arti,
    In cProjects the authorizations can be managed either by authorization profile administration by system administrator for General authorizations or by Project specific authorizations for individual cProjects elements by Project owner.
    Try the first one and I hope you will get the solution.

  • Change settings for synching

    Here is my problem:
    When I synched my iPod for the first time using iTunes 7, it erased all my watched tv shows.
    In the iPod screen during synching, I noticed that the settings for TV shows says synch all unwatched shows. I want all checked TV shows to synch. I tried to change the settings, and when I click on apply, I then get a message that it is searching for my iPod, and eventually it says it can't find the iPod and can't update the settings. When I disconnect the iPod, the iPod screen goes away, and I can't reset the settings.
    Any idea how I can change the settings so that it will work.
    Thanks in advance.
    Russell

    I should note that I have unchecked "automatically install new apps" and applied, and it didn't change anything.  I can still only go from "install" to "will install" and from "remove" to "will remove."  No control over what I have on the ipad and what I don't waste space on.

  • Is it possible to change settings for an existing sequence?

    I am cutting a short "crowd-sourced" class play, shot by parents. I have 4 different types of footage from 4 cameras: Two are 720p (30p), one is a 640x480 .mov and the other was shot in 720p but burned to a PAL DVD so they are .VOB file rips at 25fps, 720 x 576 w/1.2 widescreen.The main camera is an .MTS file (AVCHD 720p)
    Since I am planning on ultimately making widescreen NTSC DVD's, I sync'd the cameras in a widescreen-DV sequence, then nested that into a new widescreen-DV sequence and activated the multi-cam. I did all of my actual editing in the new muti-cam sequence - but now I am thinking that I should have started with an AVCHD 720p sequence to sync cameras and just maintained 720p thoughout - until exporting the MPEG-2 file for the DVD.
    I can make a new 720p sequence and cut/paste everything from my timeline - but they would still be nested multi-cam cuts that link back to the original widescreen-DV sequenece I setup to sync the 4 cam views. I cannot seem to change the settings for the existing sequence - so is there maybe a workaround for what I am trying to do? Essentially, to trick the new 720p sequence (with all the actual multi-cam edits pasted into it) to linking to a new 720p sequence with the already sync'd cam footage pasted into it? And secondly, will it actually effect the quality of the final DVD output? I may also want to make a 720p web version for Vimeo if feasible...
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I have created the new 720p AVCHD and cut/pasted all of my edits. That is not the problem.
    Almost of my edits (other than a few titles amd stil pics I added) are cuts from the original nested sequence called (4-CAM SYNC). It is a regular NTSC widescreen sequence. In this original sequence, I am scaling the the cameras down to fit the frame and sync'ing the four cameras. I am attempting to get this new sequence to link to a new 720p nested sequence that has my sync'd cam footage - to replace 4-CAM SYNC on the time, while still retaining all the edits I have made - I will just have to change some of my scaling settings in a few clips.
    It sure would be easier if I could change the "Editing Mode" parameter under Sequence Settings...

  • Changing settings for users

    I have locked down some (most of the users and do not allow them to set 'General Settings' for instance.
    I now want to set some settings for them like 'Screen Locking' .... and there is no GUI in SAP where I can set this for other users (as manager).
    However, these settings are in OUSR and it would be rather easy to use SQL to set the required data.
    Is it 'common practice' to do this this way or is there any objection?
    Thanks

  • Specific Settings for external and internal display modes?

    Does anyone know if there is a way do have different settings that adapt to whether I'm using my Macbook's internal display or am docked to my 23" external Cinema Display at home? It would be nice if the Dock would be small and on the side "internally" and large and at the bottom "externally." Also its a pain if I've expanded a window on my external, then disconnect and have to tidy up my windows again so they fit on my smaller internal dispaly

  • No display after changing settings. Can't get to safe mode to change it back. Help please.

    Hi,
    I was trying to change my display to an external monitor going through a laptop dock.  I had managed it before without the dock.  I changed something in the display properties wizard and now have no display either on the external monitor, or on the built in screen.  I have tried every combination of going through the dock or directly plugged in, and also with no monitor.  I cannot get a display.  I have tried to get into safe mode but cannot - the screen goes black immediately after the lenovo logo goes off.
    It seems a bit silly that this is possible really with a "are you sure you can see this?" before confirming (like when you change screen resolutions).
    Any ideas?  Really stuck.  The machine is only 2 months old.

    Sorry.  I know it hasn't been long, but I'm really banging my head against the wall with this.
    Am I correct in this?  The G500 can't boot from a DVD or USB stick?
    I'm kinda running out of options. 

  • Configuring Receive Connectors for External Notifications while still displaying Site Name

    This is closely related to the issue we 'resolved' in
    this blog
    Our SharePoint notifications would not display the Site Name in the Display Name.   i.e.  If an Expense Request was approved, we wanted the display name of the email to come from "Accounting"
    To resolve, we went to the receive connector and made sure only "Anonymous Users" was checked under Permission groups.  The workflows and notifications immediately started displaying the site they originated in the Display Name, but...
    All notification emails going to external users (outside our primary domain) ceased.    We has to check 'Exchange Servers' under permission groups and then we lost the display name but gained email to external users.
    Does anyone know how to get both working at the same time?
    Thanks!!

  • Unable to load embedded PDF - must change settings for all users

    Hello.  We recently updated to Adobe Reader X on our three terminal servers.  Since the update we have found that a lot of our users are having an issue loading PDF's that are embedded in web sites.
    They access different websites that have such features and the PDF must be displayed in the browswer for it to load correctly.  Anyways, I have properly found what settings to adjust in Adobe Reader, my issue is that I need these settings adjusted for all 50 something employees and I really don't want to log into each user account and change the settings.
    The settings that must be adjusted are as follows:
    Edit > Preferences > General > Uncheck Enable Protected Mode at Startup
    Edit > Preferences > Internet > Uncheck Display in Read Mode by Default
    Edit > Preferences > Internet > Uncheck Allow fast web view
    Edit > Preferences > Internet > Uncheck Allow speculative downloading in the background
    I have found the registry files for the Protected Mode startup and Display in Read Mode, but am unable to find the other two registry settings.  Does anyone have any idea where those might be?  Or if you have a better suggestion on how to deploy Adobe with these settings already configured?  I have looked in the Customization Tool but was unable to find all the settings there as well.  Thanks!

  • How do I get the menu bar to appear on multiple displays without mirroring displays?

    I keep finding things about the new Yosemite update that I do not like. The most recent is that apparently you can't have a menubar on multiple displays, unless you mirror the displays. This does not work for me. I want to keep my thunderbolt display as my primary display, but I am working in photoshop on my Cintiqu and I can't afford to drag my mouse all the way back to the thunderbolt display every time I need to access the photoshop menu.
    Is there some sort of fix for this that I'm not seeing?
    If not I sincerely hope that the apple engineers fix this ASAP.

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.
