CS4 Multiple Monitor Workspaces

I weave on a quad monitor setup. Normally, I have all of my
tools on one monitor, the designer view on another, and code view
on a third, all while testing output on the fourth.
I've noticed on DW CS4, that I can't save the workspace
layout when I use more than 2 monitors. After closing DW and
reopening, the configuration collapses back down to 2 monitors with
tools all over the place. YES, I've saved the workspace. No, it
doesn't matter which monitor is the "primary" for the application
either. It always collapses to 2 monitors.
Without saying I'm spoiled with quad monitors, can anyone
help? Has anyone else run into this problem yet?

Yes - but you'd need additional hardware - one of the Matrox Graphics eXpansion Modules.

Photoshop cs4 and multiple monitors

When i save a document as a jpg on one monitor and then drag the photoshop window to the other monitor and save it the same way, they turn out differently! Whats going on?

JohnVega
"On the Mac, the Application frame groups all the workspace elements in a single, integrated window that lets you treat the application as a single unit. When you move or resize the Application frame or any of its elements, all the elements within it respond to each other so none overlap. Panels dont disappear when you switch applications or when you accidentally click out of the application. If you work with two or more applications, you can position each application side by side on the screen or on multiple monitors. If you prefer the traditional, free-form user interface of the Mac, you can turn off the Application frame. In Adobe Illustrator®, for example, select Window > Application Frame to toggle it on or off." - Adobe Help "Using Photoshop CS4"
Once you have done that, move the whole block of the Application frame to the Display Tablet. You can then toggle between the monitor 1 and tablet monitor by switching on/off Application frame..

Creating dual monitor workspace

I found one ancient message from September with absolutely no responses, so let's try again.....
Bridge CS4. Dual monitors. HOW do I create and SAVE a workspace that takes advantage of both monitors? I want to put previews and some palettes on one monitor, and the rest on the other. But, I don't seem to be able to save the whole thing so it's the default setup.
How do I do this?

I don't believe you can. I do think the save workspaces feature is that
smart or goes that far. At least when I have tried creating a dual monitor
workspace and save it, it never comes up like a created it. I think what the
problem is that when you create that secondary window for the other monitor
it isn't just a window created by the main application but a second light
copy of Bridge loaded in to memory so when you close bridge that is lost.
This has been an issue since they added workspace capabilities to Bridge.
It certainly would be nice if this worked however.

Multi-Monitor Workspaces

Should there be an improvement on how Flash handles multiple-monitor systems?
I mean i made my own workspace which stretches the flash window vertically over 2 screens, but when you leave computer, screen saver will break the workspace to one screen which needs manual stretching again since selecting the workspace I created doesn't even resize the Flash window.

In the past, for certain apps that wouldn't play well with a tiling wm, I would have to kill X, change my .xinitrc to start openbox and startx again. This seems like the perfect solution.
Thanks :-)
netfun81 wrote:Does "go get github.com/BurntSushi/wingo" always pull the latest from git? Can i just delete the wingo executable from go/bin and run command to upgrade to latest or do I need to delete config files each time to remain compatible?
Yes, `go get ...` always pulls from the latest git. I make sure that Wingo builds before pushing to `master`. I'll use a different branch for any longer term experiments.
You could use `wingo-git` in the AUR, but `go get` is just as good. (Indeed, the PKGBUILD uses `go get`!)
One note those, use this to update to instead:
go get -u github.com/BurntSushi/wingo
go get -u github.com/BurntSushi/wingo/wingo-cmd
You shouldn't have to delete any executables.
As far as configuration files go... I'm not sure. I haven't figured out how I'm going to handle them yet. I don't think any well-formed configuration file will break Wingo, but it's certainly possible that old configuration files will miss out on new features/options. (For example, I just added some new focus follows mouse options.) Wingo will always maintain an in-memory default configuration, so missing configuration options will also never break Wingo.
You can always check out the new configuration files by running `wingo --write-config`. You'll have to move `~/.config/wingo` to a temporary location first though.
If you're installing from the AUR, I'll try to add post installation messages for any big changes.
FYI, I should say that installation is so easy because of Go. :-) /plug

Multiple Monitor Dilemma When Disconnected

Using Media Encoder (CS4) on Mac laptop. Using multiple monitors when not traveling. When I go on the road and only use my laptop the application launches but thinks it's still on the other monitor that's not connected - which means I can't use it! I tried deleting the plist - no go. Tried reseting Mac monitor settings (which works with other apps that do this) - no go. Tried launching program from Premiere - no go. Any other ideas on getting application window onto main laptop monitor?

Dude Colin, Much thnks for that link. Althought I have tried everything listed there already, it pointed me to this page which did the trick. Awesome! One note though, when enabling assistive devices in sys prefs I had to reboot. For some reason the script kept throwing up an error saying it wasn't enabled even though it was.
Thanks again for saving the day!

Mavericks with Multiple Monitors?

I keep my tool pallets arranged on my second monitor. Ever since I upgraded to Mavericks Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator all lost my workspace settings whenever the monitors go to sleep. I can restore everything by chooseing Reset Workspace, but this is getting real old. Usually after waking up the monitors, the palettes either all show up in my main monitor or almost completely off screen on my second monitor?
Am I the only one having this problem?
Only other thing I have noticed wierd in CC since moving to Mavericks several weeks ago is that Photoshop sometimes switches to the Color-Wheel cursor (but not spinning) at times regardless of which tool is selected - eventually it will switch back, but have not identified what causes it to restore itself.

Fwiw, I think this is expected behavior. Aperture is set to use multiple monitors in the same (OS determined) "Space". In Mountain Lion, you could not show two spaces at the same time. In Mavericks you can assign a monitor to a space (this is the default). But if you want an app to use both monitors, you have to turn off this feature.
As I see it (actually, I don't -- I haven't upgraded to the big wave), the hierarchy was:
Space(s)
Monitors (all in same Space at any given time)
Apps
and now it is (by default):
Monitor(s)
Space(s) (one per monitor)
Apps.
What you are asking is to have each Monitor display a Space, and have an app (Aperture) run in two Spaces at the same time. That might be asking too much.

Premiere Pro won't span multiple monitors

Premier Pro CS3
I cannot get the PP app to span multiple monitors. Previously I have used Premiere to span two 22" monitors so I can have a very wide timeline. Now that I have installed CS3, it "takes over" my second monitor as a "Program" monitor and I cannot figure out how to shut it off. It also makes this monitor useless for any other applications that I have open while CS3 is open. Help!

Well, now it's working and I have NO CLUE WHY... perhaps opening and closing Premiere 5 times is required before the videocard gets into the act. In any case, it has just started working and I completed an entire editing sequence with no freaky behavior at all.
I love it when a plan comes together - but it's sure nice to know "why" for next time ocasionally... I did use an older saved sequence as a starting point this time, so perhaps something was corrupted in the "new workspace" that I tried to save.
Now, of course, I'm afraid to ever turn this computer off again, or even close Premiere...
Thanks to all for your help - you will all get a free autographed copy of my next book, "Dual Monitors for Dummies"...

Can you have multiple users working off the same Mac pro at the same time with multiple monitors but doing different things?

I'm buying desktops for a start up company and was wondering if I could purchase a single Mac Pro and run multiple monitors to allow multiple users to work on the computer at the same time. These users would be doing different tasks but I would hope to accomplish that on a single desktop. I know that screen sharing is possible but with only one user controlling both of the screens. Thanks in advance, sorry for my apple ignorance!

A lot of companies are buying or leasing laptops to be used at the office by day, and carried home at night.
Some companies are doing "Bring your own device". Bring a device to receive email -- computer/smartphone/tablet you already have, or have an allowance to buy one for your use.
If Capital is short (and when is it not) leasing computers, to be turned in a few years, can be a huge savings because the cost is expensed as incurred. The alternative is laying out cash today, but not being able to expense the cost this year. Instead, the computer expense must be recovered over their useful life (often five years) through depreciation.

You cannot shadow a session with multiple monitors enabled in Windows Server 2008 R2

Searching through the forums (and according to KB2484290) it appears that there is no solution to this problem. We are rolling out thin clients that are using dual monitors exclusively and we were very surprised to find out that we couldn't shadow
sessions with dual monitors (which to us means that we can't shadow ANY sessions). This now completely changes our approach to managing these devices.
We are running Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 with Remote Desktop Services installed. The thin clients are running Windows Embedded Standard 7 with the latest updates / RDP client. All steps have been followed to ensure that the apropriate settings and
permissions have been set up to allow access into the session.
We tested by unchecking the RDP setting “use all my monitors for the remote session”, with that setting disabled shadowing worked
Questions:
1. KB2484290 is from Dec 2010 - It's now April 2012, is there a workaround / hotfix for this issue that will allow us to shadow sessions using the native Microsoft tools?
2. Are there any recommended alternatives (software)? Free/Paid - doesn't matter we just need something that will work. I'm sure there are a few options out there but I am looking for suggestions for what people have used in the past that worked
best for them to help us narrow down the choices.

Hi,
In my experience, so far, the workaround is Remote Assistance, Remote Assistance supports multiple monitors, and is the presently recommended solution if you need this functionality. Remote Assistance is a Windows Server Feature that must be explicitly installed
on Windows Server 2008 R2; it is already installed with the client versions of the operating system.

As far as I know, there are some third-party tools can be used as the solution, such as Teamviewer, ISL Online, etc.

How to set up multiple monitors

I got a 27" 3.1 gz Imac for Christmas. I need to run multiple monitors on it.
#1 How many monitors will it support?
#2 How do I hook them up to the Imac?
#3 What hardware do I need in order to do this?
Phillip

This link is talking about using the Imac as a display for another computer. So basically, this article is telling me how I can use my Imac as a display monitor. That is not what I am trying to do.
I want to use multiple monitors on this Imac.

Wanting to use multiple monitors on HP hpe210Y w-DVI-I and HDMI. Audio: 5.1 Surround

I have a HP Elite hpe210y with only two outputs of which are: 1) DVI-I and 2) HDMI. My situation is that I have 2 new HP Monitors with VGA Cables. I have an adapter for DVI-I to VGA and also VGA to Dual VGA. I do NOT want the monitors to work as Duplicates however. I want the second monitor to be an extension. I am also interested in getting even 2 more monitors in teh near future for a total of 4.
Is there some way I can get two monitors to work off one DVI-I ?
Will I be able to upgrade to up to 4 monitors?
Is there a part I need?
Wanted to mention that my OS is Win7 Home Premium 64 bit. I use IE9, Chrome and Firefox
I would of never bought this from Best Buy if I had known in advance that there was just the one regular output. I see they have one called a Phoenix which I may look into.
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

>Is there some way I can get two monitors to work off one DVI-I ?
I've not yet seen a solution for that.
You can use a hdmi2vga adapter for the second port.
>Will I be able to upgrade to up to 4 monitors?
>Is there a part I need?
you can try one of these:
http://www.evga.com/products/pdf/100-U2-UV19-TR.pdf
http://www.amazon.com/Kensington-Universal-Multi-Display-Adapter-Black/dp/B002F9NSMQ/ref=pd_cp_e_1
http://aluratek.com/usb-2-0-high-resolution-vga-adapter
They will use your current graphics device.
If you are looking for a new solution - I've read about DisplayPort version 1.2 that can do 'daisy-chain connection' with multiple monitors. But this you have to 'google' yourself.

Can i have multiple monitor with my mac mini ?

Can i have multiple monitor with my mac mini like i do with my PC ? 2 differents screens.. not mirror.

There's lots of Mac Mini models since 2006 or so. What do you have?
Most support two monitors but how you do it is different depending on model.
Put this phrase into Google
dual monitors, mac mini
and you'll come up with the solution needed based on which MM you have.

VMware Fusion question - Multiple Monitors

I apologize if this is in the wrong area, but I am desperate for some help. I have also posted this same question in the VMware communities but I have not had any luck with anyone responding yet.
It seems that I am having an issue with my virtual machine (windows XP) viewing in full screen or unity across my multiple monitor setup on my Mac Pro. Every time I go to view in full screen or unity I get a VMware popup warning/error that reads:
The virtual machine "Windows XP Professional" is configured for a smaller display size than the one your Mac is currently using. VMware Fusion needs to shut down your virtual machine to enable support for your Mac's display size in Full Screen. Do you want to shut down this virtual machine now?
I have two options, one to shut down, or one to go into full screen. If I go into full screen, full screen works with the correct resolution and everything looks great except its only in the one monitor (not the multiple monitor). If I shut down and restart the virtual machine and try to go to full screen I get the same error.
The VMware tools have been installed and I did go to the view, use all displays in full screen opiton.
My current setup is a mac pro with 3 monitors using 2 NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT Video Cards.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

I found a link to a VMWare Knowledge Base entry about specifying video ram in Fusion 1. Maybe it is still true.

How do I operate multiple monitors on my HP Pavilion Slimline Pavilion s3600t?

Hello HP Forum,
I am looking to operate 2 monitors on my HP Pavilion Slimline Pavilion s3600t that currently has GeForce 7100/NVIDIA nForce 630i. I am not a computer technician and only semi-tech saavy (less than more). I was told I needed a video card; however, I don't know what I need nor how to install it. Can anyone tell me what I type of video card I need to purchase (and why) and then point me to a video or instructions on install?
Further, what would it take for a computer to operate 3 monitors? Would this computer capable of operating 3 monitors? And what would that entail/how does it compare to installing options for 2 monitors?
Thanks for your help guys!
Cheers

Multiple monitors on laptop: iTunes crashes upon display lock

I have a laptop running XP Pro with an external monitor attached as an extended desktop. When I use iTunes (6.0.5.20) and lock my screen for any reason (close lid, screen saver activates, etc.), iTunes freezes and throws up an "Unsupported Display" window - or at least tries to: it appears in the taskbar but can't be viewed, opened, or closed. Only upon killing it (along with iTunes) can I continue to use my computer.
Anyone have a fix? I'm not the first to run into this; see for example:
http://forums.ilounge.com/showthread.php?postid=743115
Thanks.

I have a desktop with multiple monitors, and I have had the same sorts of problems. For me, iTunes 6 would display a dialog box that says "Unsupported Display" when I unlock the screens, though I was able to see it and dismiss it and life was good. Now, with iTunes 7, I can see that it tried to display an "Unsupported Display" dialog, but it crashed as well...
Here is the stack trace of the crash, in case an Apple Engineer sees this post: (QuickTime.qts 7.1.3.100 and iTunes.exe 7.0.0.70)
