Cursor disabled on one monitor.

How do I access the second monitor?
My active cursor won't cross to the other monitor. The other has the menu and all the icons. I am unable to use the cursor because it won't cross over to the other (second) monitor. I think I changed a setting. But now I am unable to do anything because the cursor is on the empty screen. (Just with the standard Mac outer space scape.)

Thanks to Kaz-k and Malcom. I was unable to use the cursor to access the arrangement tab becauseas I mentioned, I was unable to go to the monitor that had all the menu items and icons. But I decided to try to reboot in Safe Mode and to my surprise it opened both monitors as mirrored and then I was able to access the Arrangement menu item to resume a mirrored arrangement.
Happy now!

  • How can I change the resolution of one monitor in a dual monitor set up?

    I'm trying to help someone set up an extended desktop using two monitors connected to a mac mini. One monitor is at the maximum resolution, but the other is not, and thus feels enlarged or zoomed in. I know a higher resolution is possible because the monitor has a button menu that shows a higher resolution, but it seems to be disabled - as I cannot select the maximum.
    Also can't seem to change it under the mac mini's display preferences.
    Any suggestions? We would really appreciate it.

    This model simultaneously supports 1920x1200 on an HDMI or a DVI display (using the included HDMI-to-DVI adapter) and2560x1600 on a Thunderbolt or Mini DisplayPort display
    The HDMI connection does not support higher than 1920X1200
    What resolutions are running now and on what connection and what is the grayed-out resolution?

  • DUAL MONITOR BUG: One Picture – One Monitor – Different Colors!

    There have been several threads discussing that Photoshop CS4 and OS 10.6. show wrong colors in dual monitor setups.
    The first one to prove this with a screen capture was jb510-LJ0JJQ in August 2009: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2207312#2207312
    Eight months and three OS updates later the problem is still there and makes professional work with more than one monitor a nuisance.
    Here's another actual example: A picture and its 100% identical copy showing different colors on one screen!
    Here's how to repeat it – try this at home ;-)
    1) In the finder make a copy of a rgb picture.
    2) Open one of the two identical pics in photoshop.
    3) Drag it to the other monitor.
    When releasing the mouse button you may see the bug already: the colors will "switch".
    4) To verify this go to system presets - monitors - and change the primary monitor (by dragging the menu bar to the other)
    5) Now open the identical copy you made in step 1) and see the difference!
    Here's a synopsis of suggested workarounds:
    1) disable open GL (which seem to makes no difference on my setup)
    2) click "desaturate monitor colors" but set desaturation to 0 (which prevents visual switching in step 3) (only if openGL is ON) but also leads to a wrong display in step 4+5
    3) make the hardware calibrated monitor your default monitor and strictly avoid changes or dragging pics to the other monitor (which seems to be the only reliable method)
    4) some guys even force both monitors to use the profile of their hardware-calibrated monitor (using color sync) to make sure they see what they should see on at least that one monitor. What a stone-age workaround for the the world's leading imaging program!
    Considering that reliable colors in professional (=multi monitor) settings should be the most basic function of photoshop this mayor malfunction should be solved with CS5! Otherwise we might have to live with it for some more years...
    Have Adobe and Apple realized this bug and on their agenda? Will it be gone with OS 10.6.3? Can anyone explain the reasons for this bad bug? Is there a "officially" recommended workaround?
    Thanks, regards,
    Eric

    There have been several threads dealing with this malfunction. But most faded out in silence or acceptance of the workarounds.

    But man, this is no minor bug! Consistent colors are the by far most important basic function of photoshop. If you cannot rely on the colors in photoshop you can as well use "Preview" and "Word" for print production ;-)
    Carson, how did Apple react to your complaint? What do you mean with "they don't get it". Do they not see it? Or can't they get it right?
    Shall we open a thread at apple forums to point out that it's not the problem of a single user?

  • Disabling Trend/Health monitoring on NetWare

    We're running ZfS7 with a variety of agent versions on NW6.5 sp2 servers:

  • Ho do I use one monitor for OSX and Windows 8.1 bootcamp

    I am a long time Mac user, but find the fairly recent Apple switch to thunderbolt for monitor input very frustrating.
    For several years I have ran a Mid 2010 IMac 27" and input video from a Mac Mini running Boot Camp Windows 7 using Target Display Mode on the IMac. 
    This worked fine until I upgraded to a Late 2013 27" IMac and discovered that the  IMac has moved to thunderbolt as the input for Target Display Mode.  The new late 2013 27" IMac just will not display native Windows 7 or 8 from a Boot Camp Mac anymore.
    My problem is that I have two business/job related Windows apps that must run on a native windows 7 or 8 platform, and won't function under either Parallels or VMWare Fusion.
    I have tried. 
    And there appears to be no way to get any Windows machine with DVI or Mini Display Port output to drive a late 2013 IMac in Target Display mode.
    So, with great frustration, I have concluded that I need to purchase a non-Apple 27-30" monitor, and drive it with either a Mac Mini, or my Early 2013 15" MacBook Pro retina, running one of the Macs into on of the mini-Display Ports on the monitor and a native Windows 7 or 8 machine into a second mini-display port, switching between the two video inputs.   The Dell 30" monitor seems to get the nod.
    Has anyone found a better solution to switching between OSX and native Windows on one monitor?
    Thanks...

    Hi William,
    I had the same experience in December 2013 and contacted Apple about it. According to Apple it's an issue of Windows with Thunderbolt. Your older iMac from 2010 is using DisplayPort and not Thunderbolt for the Target Display Mode. Note that just the connector looks the same but it's still a different technology. Please further note that the response below does not apply for the new iMac 27" with the 5K display because this iMac does not support Target Display Mode at all, hence can't be used as external display. Of course you can still attach one or two external displays to the iMac 27" 5K.
    Hope this clears things up for you and the others.
    Thanks,
    Martin
    So, here is the important part of the official response from Apple:
    "... The Thunderbolt controller in an iMac is running exclusively in host mode. As such it cannot emulate a device mode Thunderbolt display. Instead it implements a custom Target Display Mode protocol that shares video between two peer to peer machines running with both controllers running in host mode. The "client" side of the driver does not exist on Windows so windows cannot speak to the "server" half in the iMac. There are no plans to implement a client driver for Windows since there is no Thunderbolt SW stack available for Windows. The reason this used to work is that the older iMacs used DisplayPort for Target Display Mode. In this scenario the iMac was able to expose the panel in such a way that it looked exactly like a Display Port Device which Windows does have driver support for. ... "

  • I bought an apple iPod 5th generation the other day and I cannot remember the unlock passcode. I have done the restore thing, but because I never set it up or synced it with iTunes, it does not recognize my device. It is disabled for one hour. Please help

    I bought an apple iPod 5th generation the other day and I cannot remember the unlock passcode. I have done the restore thing, but because I never set it up or synced it with iTunes, it does not recognize my device. It is disabled for one hour. There's only a few things that could be my passcode, but because it disables for an hour, it is time consuming trying to figure it out. What do I do? I do not care about having to erase everything since it's new and there's nothing on it, but it was never synced with iTunes.

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • How to transfer from one mini to another without messing up either one. I have one monitor and two minis. I do have a firewire cable but don't want a complete transfer, just specific files.

    I have done a complete fire wire transfer before but I don't want to do that. I only want to transfer certain files and leave the existing and new minis in tact otherwise. I am sure I can transfer just files. My question mostly is: I only have one monitor but will have two minis that are hooked up. Can this be done without seeing the other computer contents? I hope that makes sense. The existing mini is 10.5.8 and the new one is 10.6.

    You can start one mac up in target disk mode, get file sharing set up and then disconnect the monitor.  Monitor ports are very tolerant of connecting and disconnecting with the computer on.
    Switch the monitor to the other computer.  Start up, connect the firewire cable (after the computer has booted) and set up file sharing on that computer.  You can see the other computer's contents without controlling the other computer's mouse and/or keyboard.
    If the other computer's hard drive does not automatically show up, go to network settings and verify those settings as well.  That should not be necessary but ethernet would give you a second option for file transfers.

  • My Eye Dropper STILL does not work in CS5 while using Lion with one monitor. How can i fix this?!?

    Hello everyone!
    This is my first post because i have grown very disgruntled at the fact that my eye dropper does not work my Premiere CS5. I would use the Ultra Key a lot but now I obviously can not really use it too well because of no eye dropper. I saw that this problem existed after the Lion update but this really should have been fixed by now. I am using only one monitor also. Is there a way to fix this or is this still known to be broken? I paid good money for CS5 and would be very upset if the only way around this is to pay MORE money to upgrade to CS5.5. Thanks.

    Thanks for the response Stephen! I find this very bad on Adobe's part though if they do not feel obligated to fix CS5 for Lion. Eye dropper is a major part of Premiere and i am going to be very dissapointed if they do not fix that. With the amount of money the Suite costs, they definitly should make sure it runs well for quite a few years. I would expect a copy of CS4 to be able to work too. If they do not fix CS5 all because the OS has changed basically tells me that every 2 years or so, they stop caring about their product.
    Sorry i sound so bitter about this but it has really hurt my workflow. Ultra key is great and something that FCP does not have so it has the edge in that respect, but now i can not even properly use it. I have to go into After Effects with the same clip, use that eyedropper to get the correct color # and then copy and paste the # into Ultra Key in Premiere which is very very annoying and slows down my system quite a bit.
    So basically, they are probably not going to ever fix this? Thanks again

  • G4 upgrade now one monitor won't power on

    ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED! I'VE BEEN UP ALL NIGHT!!
    I put in 2GB of RAM today along with a super combo (DVD, CDRW) drive. I tested the machine with a single monitor at work, it was fine. When I got it home and hooked it up to my dual monitors, only one monitor turns on. The other one won't do anything. Now power to it at all. I tried plugging it directly into the wall, still nothing.
    I switched the cords and everything and the same monitor (the one on left) turns on, but the one on the right doesn't. Can anyone help? When I detect displays, it shows I have two monitors, but I am only getting power to one. I also reset the PRAM, still did not power up my monitor.
    Is there a workaround here or should I send it back? It's under warranty and everything. GoVideo Dual 19" monitors. Has anyone dealt with sending something back to Wal-Mart? Is it fast to get the replacement?

  • Can I daisy chain two mac pros so that I'm using one monitor and keyboard

    Can I use two mac pro's with one monitor, keyboard & mouse? The two different machines have two different operating systems (Snow Leopard / Lion). One machine is brand new and the other is 5 or 6 years old.
    I want to use both machines in tandem so that I can leave something to render while I work on something else.

    KVM is an answer -- maybe.  I use one for two machines to share one of my monitors (a VGA) and my keyboard (the second older machine seems to have sleep problems if I share a usb mouse on the kvm however).
    The trickiest part of choosing a kvm is trying to find one that can handle the video; one that can handle the required bandwidth, and the connections.  If one computer uses, say DVI, and the other mini-displayport, then you need to figure out which kvm can handle that with one (or both) of the machines using adapter(s). 
    You said one of the machines is brand new.  Then it probably has thunderbolt.  So you would need a mini-displayport, dvi, or vga adapter depending on the monitor.  That means the older machine will need a similar connection since whatever kvm you get will have the same kind of ports for both inputs and its output.
    A wild card here (at least in my mind) is if the newer machine has thunderbolt.  While a mini-displayport display can be plugged into a TB connection, it is not clear that such a thing will work through a kvm.  That is unknown territory I think at this point.

  • Colour profiles within PS are off for one monitor only?

    Hi guys,
    I'm having a very strange issue with colour management in Photoshop CS2 currently.
    Photoshop seems to be calibrating all documents in a strange way on only *one* monitor. If I drag the file across to the other monitor the colour is completely different.
    Of course it sounds like my monitors being off, however when dragging the file across monitors Photoshop slowly updates the colours for the next monitor. You can see it display the wrong colour at first, then correct it (hopefully that makes sense).
    Another symptom of it is when I go to 'save for web'. Here, the colours revert to what I believe are correct.
    b It's worth noting that this has only started to happen since some Windows updates. One being an option update from Dell for my monitor - I can't seem to find any information about it though!
    My tester that I've been using is a plain white to black gradient. What I'm seeing is a lot of cyan in the middle of the gradient. I've saved off an example:
    http://2dforever.com/photoshop.png
    As you can see, all the greys are very green, but if you look at the gradient tool in the toolbar itself, the grey appears fine.
    I'm unsure how I can adjust the colour profile from Photoshop for one monitor - am I missing something really obvious here?
    Just to note: I'm on Win Xp SP2, Photoshop CS2, and I've cleared the preferences.

    Since you only mention Photoshop as having a problem, this is almost
    certainly, as you suspect, a monitor profile config problem.
    Color profiles for individual monitors are configured in
    Start>Settings>Control Panel>Display>Settings>(Advanced Button)>Color
    Management.
    In Settings, click on the monitor whose profile you want to verify before
    clicking on the "Advanced..." button. I would start by adding and
    defaulting the profile for the monitor that is causing problems.
    The Microsoft XP color control panel applet makes setup easier, though it
    is not really necessary. If the link below fails, google for keywords

  • How to go back to a one-monitor setup in Photoshop?

    I use Photoshop on a PC.
    At home I have a dual monitor set-up, and have Photoshop stretched across them. So I place my tools on one monitor, and image in another. It works great.
    I am staying at someone else's house for the summer and brought my computer along and one monitor only. Everything else about my computer is working fine, except Photoshop. It still thinks I am using two monitors. I can see the tabs, and maximize the window. But when I open Levels, or Hue/Saturation, the pop-up doesn't appear on the screen. I can tell it's appearing in the "phantom monitor", that isn't really there, because I can't do anything else in the program until I exit out of Levels (by pressing Enter, as if I were pressing OK). It's also a problem when using the eyedropper, since I can't see the swatch window that is supposed to pop up. Yet, I can see Layers, Channels, and so on. Anything that can be tabbed I can see. Anything that is a pop-up, I cannot.
    This is totally bizarre. Especially because no other software I am using is exhibiting this problem.
    So basically I'm asking the opposite of what most people ask: How can I return to a one-monitor set-up in Photoshop?
    Thanks!

    Probably one reason why they invented workspaces in later versions.
    You're not seeing a 1 pixel hint of them at the very edge of the screen are you?  If so you might be able to grab them and pull them into view.
    Assuming you're not doing something else wrong and somehow missing the dialogs, I'm kind of out of ideas.
