Connected to 2 monitors, but Preview opens partly off-screen when opened

I thought I would take another run at this. There are two other posts like this but neither has an answer. One is dated Mar 23, 2010 and the other is dated Apr 8, 2010. As with the other questions, I have two monitors and the preview application displays PDF's half on display 1 and half on display 2. PNG's are displayed entirely on display 2. Display 1 used DVI and display 2 uses VGA. The Preview application in 10.4 didn't have this problem. So here is the real question... How do you set the default position property for the preview application?
TIA

I am having the same issue. Were you able to find a way so you can set a default monitor? I'm using a TV as a third monitor and it always goes straight to that screen. However, it only happens when I first open a PDF in Preview. After that, it always opens every other one on my main screen. It's a real drag when I have to turn on the TV just to see a PDF.
Do anyone have a solution? The only solution I have found so far is to move the TV monitor in the "Arrangement" setting over to the side (it's normally on top of the other two in the middle), which makes it really inconvenient for when I do use that monitor.

  • Why does my computer say its connected through wi-fi but wont open a web page, why does my computer say its connected through wi-fi but wont open a web page but will work if im hardwired into the internet

    my computer is showing full connection through the airport but wont open any web pages it says it is not connected to the internet... When i hard wire the internet in with the cord it works just fine so i think i somehow messed up or turned of my wi fi capability but i show my airport is on

    Your computer is showing it's connected to the Wifi router all right, but perhaps the router isn't connected to the Internet.
    If your connecting the Ethernet cable directly to the modem and resetting it, bypassing th erouter and then getting online, fine that's good.
    If your connecting to the router directly and getting on the Internet fine, it means the router is connected to the Internet.
    If the last one is true then likely what has occured is your DCHP lease is expired because your computer doesn't have the right time and date as the router, it's showing a good signal but your not connecting.
    Open System Preference and check the date and time and set it to update to Apple's time server for your location.
    Sometimes Apple's time is off, as third party routers get their time elsewhere and sometimes the two don't match and thus DCHP lease is expired.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • HT1414 iPhone works okay when charging but often gets a white screen when I take it off charge

    iPhone works okay when charging but often gets a white screen when I take it off charge - I have tried resetting it and getting help online but the system asks me for an email address and my iPhone isn't set up for emails yet - if I got a text to trigger the automatic diagnostic service I could retrieve it from my 'poorly' device

    First, update iTunes, then connect the phone to the computer and do a restore. This will also get your iOS up to date. Your phone should operate correctly after doing this, if not, you will most likely need to have the phone serviced or replaced.

    You probably need to force the iPad into recovery mode in order to restore. Read this.

  • My computer froze and I had no choice but to turn it off. When I turned it back on, it would no longer open iTunes. It says "error 7 (windows error 14001). iTunes said to uninstall and then reinstall iTunes. Windows installer won't work.

    My computer froze, so I had to finally turn it off. When I turned it on again, it wouldn't open iTunes. Error7 (Windows error 14001) appeared. I could not uninstall and reinstall iTunes because now Windows Installer isn't working either. Tried using "System Restore" from a backup, but still didn't fix problem. Tried online purchase of registry cleanup ("Error End"), but that didn't solve problem either.
    How can I get iTunes to open? Any suggestions for getting Windows Installer to work? Thanks!

  • Windows move off screen when new app is opened

    I have a user running 10.8.5. The user opens an application like Firefox or Safari. As soon as they open another application like Microsoft Word the browser or other application will shift off the screen. The finder is allowing only one window to show up on the screen at one time. I reset all keyboard shortcuts. Checked Mission Control, Launcher and couldn't find anything that would make this happen. They only have one display connected. I removed all the Office plist files and launched as a first time launch. I still can't find what is making the windows disappear or move off screen.
    I logged on as a different user and the problem went away. So it has to be something in their profile that is causing this. Any ideas?

    In OS X 10.6 and prior, Expose' and Spaces had a separate System Preference setting, along with hot corners. One of the options was to force apps to open in a new space.
    That changed to become Mission Control with OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. I haven't really used the feature in 10.8. I can't quickly find a useful Apple link, so I'll provide this 3rd-party 'Dummies book' link which might help you sort things out. Mouse and trackpad preferences also can be set to enable gestures that work in conjunction with Mission Control.
