Dell often starts in 2nd screen which is not there

I have a Dell Inspiron 15 running Win 8.1.
Frequently, even though I do not have a second monitor connected (and have devices set to PC screen only) when I start my computer, it starts in the non-existent screen.  I have to plug the external monitor in and then set the Device option AGAIN. 
This is very frustrating and did not happen with my ASUS laptop and the same external monitor.

Hi,
What is your graphic card version?
Please also check your settings relating multiple monitors in Graphic card control panel.
Also, locate to Device manager, find if there is only one your pc monitor under Monitors. If not, please try disabling the external monitor.

  • Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) won't install with iTunes,either V10.7 or V11. The service can't be started b/c the software is not there. Windows 7 with latest service pack. V11 iTunes installs

    Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) won't install with iTunes,either V10.7 or V11. The service can't be started b/c the software is not there. Windows 7 with latest service pack. V11 iTunes installs fine, iPod found, no iPhone 5 b/c no AMDS.  Error "insufficient premissions to install AMDS" Tried numerous uninstall / reinstall combinations, installed iTunes as administrator, etc.  Somethings not right. What the Heck ?

    See the following article for dealing with Apple Mobile Device Services: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567
    Downloading and installing iTunes will not fix this problem. If the other troubleshooting steps do not work, go to the Control Panel and uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Services, Quicktime and any other Apple program that might be present. Reboot your computer, then download and install the latest version of iTunes.

  • Why the FCP 7 is show the different clip view which is not there?

    I am using FCP7 for about 5 years now but never faced this type problem before. I am using footage from 3 different cameras as usual. When I view the clip or export the files it shows the different clips which are not there. Could anyone help me to solve the issue please. I already trashed the FCP preferences.
    Thanks in advance.

    This sometime occurs when you are using source that is not friendly to FCP-7, such as material that is in the H.264 or other mpg format.
    Is your source material all converted to an edit friendly format?

  • UI/Application window is randomly jumping around... often to my 2nd screen

    CS6 running on OSX Lion.
    I am having a frustrating issue with InDesign CS6.
    Frequently the entire application window will jump around... sometimes with the toolbox shifting to my 2nd screen... other times the entire application window jumping to the 2nd screen...
    The only fix I have is to Quit InDesign and restart.
    Does anyone know how to fix this...?

    try this:
    reboot the CPU.
    run the application as normal.
    If the window goes off screen, reset your resolution to the point where you can see the window for the misbehaving application.
    Move the window to the top left of your screen.
    quit the program
    rest resolution to normal.
    run the program.
    does its window appear on screen/where it should be located, not off screen?

  • ITunes on mac shows stream songs on ipad which are not there

    I use iTunes on my MacBook Pro to sync ratings and playlists with my iPad and iPhone.  After syncing I like to verify that the total count of songs matches that on the iPad and iPhone.
    If I look at the number of songs on my Mac, and also look at the Music app on the iPad, they both display the same number of songs.
    However...if I look at the Music "folder" under the iPad device in iTunes on the Mac when they are connected, I see a different count for the iPad.  After looking, it appears this is due to a number of "duplicate" listings for the iPad songs - all of which are grayed out, and are shown as "Stream" under the Size heading.
    I am unable to delete those listings on the Mac iTunes side, and multiple reboots and syncs of both machines has failed to clear it up.  It appears to me this is a bug on the Mac iTunes side, since the iPad has the correct number, but it would be nice to clear it up.  Makes me nervous about syncing between the Mac and the iPad.  I am running OSX 10.8.5 on Retina MacBook Pro, and iOS 7 on iPad 3rd generation.
    Any ideas?
    While I'm at it...does anyone know if I were to use iTunes Match (I don't currently) would it automatically sync BOTH ratings and playlists across my Mac, iPhone, and iPad??
    I use ratings a lot in order to build playlists of top songs by genre, and currently the only way I know how to do it is through sync from the master database on the Mac, but I seem to have had a number of issues with the sync over the last couple years.
    Thanks!!

    No, I never really found an easy solution.  I believe it is an issue with some corruption in the iTunes database on the specific device.  In my case, both my iPad and iPhone now show duplicate stream songs if viewed through iTunes on my Mac, but they show different songs.  A couple years ago I had a similar issue on my iPhone, and Apple support suggested I back up the phone, completely reset it, and then restore it from the backup.  It did work, so I imagine it would probably work for my current issues with the iPhone and iPad.  But resetting and restoring an iPad or iPhone always makes me a little nervous that something will get lost.  When I did reset/restore the iPhone, I do have to say, the restore process was 100% perfect and I did not lose any data at all even though Apple support said I might.  If you try to go that route, I would suggest backing the device up both to a computer through iTunes, and to the iCloud so that you have a double backup.
    None of this really resolves the issue with how the iTunes databases are becoming corrupted on the apple devices though, so it is very likely to happen again until they fix it.  I have been unable to determine if there were any specific actions or conditions which caused the corruption to happen in the first place.
    Might be worth another call to Apple support, or dropping in the local Apple store if you have one near by.

  • Fetching data which are not common

    Hi Gurus,
              I got an strange requirement it is to fetch data from 2 internal table from the same field name but the values should not be same.can any one tell me some logic for this? eg: fetch matnr from mara and mard into an internal table but the final result in the internal table should be values which are not common in both the tables.
    Ragards,
    Ravi

    how can mara and mard will differe in entries. if there is a entry in MARD there should be an entry in MARA since it is master table. so in this case you can do some thing like this.
    first get the data from both the tables..
    loop at it_mara.
    read table it_mard.
    if sy-subrc ne 0.
    "find the material which is not there in MARD and only in MARA
    "append the matnr to another table
    endif.
    endloop.
    may be you have taken a wrong example to describe.
