Desktop extending software...extend Mac Desktop to use additional monitor on a PC.

Hi folks.  I'm looking for something that will extend my mac osx desktop to a second monitor that is connected to a PC on our network.  Anyone know of anything like this?  Thanks.

I am embarrassed how simple that was.  I did warn you that I'm technologically challenged; I'm pretty sure that proved it.
The external hard drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). The link you provided indicates the external drive will work with Time Machine.  I've never worked with Time Machine and don't know what my next step should be.  Would you please walk me through it?
Your help is greatly appreciated.  From the points you have accumulated, I can tell you have helped many others and I thank you for your generosity.

  • Connecting two Mac minis and using one monitor

    I am thinking about getting two Mac minis to run concurrently, accessing both on the same Thunderbolt Display (also to be acquired) using screen sharing and connecting the two Macs via firewire (or thunderbolt).
    I have certain programs I need to run in Windows (Bloomberg terminal and MS Excel in Windows version) but don't want to run them in parallel on one computer as (in my experience) the performance is very slow.
    By running two computers at the same time, I'm hoping that can avoid the entire system griding to a halt. I also think it will allow me to upgrade more cheaply as the Mac mini is improved over time.
    Is this a completely daft idea? Would I be better off with a new iMac or a refurbish Mac Pro?
    Any feedback is welcome, even of the abusive variety.

    "File sharing preferences" is indeed how to do it.  Connect both minis to your router (one by ethernet cable, one by wifi, it doesn't matter.)
    Then turn on "File Sharing" in Sharing Prefs on both minis.  Also, give them both meaningful, different names under "Computer Name".
    Then, when you open a finder window on one mini, the other one should appear under "Shared", like this:

  • Using additional monitor with iMac 17" Core Duo.. SLOWDOWN

    I bought the mini-dvi to vga adapter to connect my IBM 21" CRT to my iMac for dual display purposes. It works and all, but whenever it's connected my mac slows down to a crawl. I thought originally it was a RAM issue, but once I upgraded to 1GB the result was the same.
    Is anyone else noticing this, or have any solutions?
    It does this in both extended and mirror mode, btw. I'm using OS X 10.4.6.

    After messing around with the settings for a while, it seems that the problem goes away if both monitors are set the same refresh rate. I set my CRT to 60Hz and I don't see the slowdown yet.
    This probably is only a problem if you're using a CRT, since LCDs all generally use 60Hz.

    We have developed a desktop application using Flash software and published the same for MAC environment. When we double click on the index.app file, the application is working perfectly in Mac 10.6.7 at our office. But if the same index.app file is double clicked in Mac 10.6.7 at out clients location, its not opening. For your information the client is able to open this same application by double clicking on index.swf file. The main problem is that client is not able to open the application using index.app file at their office whereas we are able to do so at our office. Can anyone give some suggestions to sort this problem?

    The most common reason is different versions of Flash, or different versions of web browsers used.  Some users may elect to not have Flash installed at all because of the processor overhead of Flash.  If you are going to make an application for a client, check what operating system and browser versions they are using first.  Then determine if a stand alone application is required, or if they have the necessary plugins to run specific browser enhanced code.
    P.S. MAC is an acronym for Media Access Control.  Mac is the shorthand for Macintosh, the operating system and computers made by Apple Inc.

  • Using Desktop Software for Mac with an 8703e - Can it be done?

    I downloaded the new BB desktop software for Mac but it doesn't seem to work with my 8703e device.  And since I had to erase the PocketMac software to install the new BB software, I now have no way to synch my Mac and BB.  Can anyone shed any light on this?

    You might check out the FileBrowser app on iTunes. I haven't used it, but it sounds like what you're after. When you say you can't use the Sierra iG2 with your iPad, I'm assuming you mean you can't plug it into the iPad. If it's plugged into a laptop and offering a WiFi hotspot, the iPad should be good with that. I use the Apple Camera Connection Kit to carry extra movies on an SD card. It uploads only to the Photos app, so no books, etc.

  • Set up extended mode multi displays using remote desktop session via thin client device

    I am configuring a Dell WYSE T10 terminal device. I should be able to use 2 monitors in extended desktop mode, but can only get it to work in span mode. I attempted to use RDS on my windows 7 desktop with 2 monitors and connect to server (Server 2008),
    and am getting the same issue.  Am I missing a setting in the RDP configuration, or do I have a deeper issue?

    Hi,
    Open remote desktop connection, under display tab, check the option use all my monitors for the remote session.
    Hope this helps.

  • Blackberry Desktop Software for Mac won't open

    I've downloaded the Blackberry Desktop Software for Mac to begin synching my new Torch but when I try to launch the software, I get the following message.
    "The document “BlackBerry Desktop Software.mpkg” could not be opened. TextEdit cannot open files in the “Installer package” format."
    Has anyone encountered this and had any luck getting it to open?
    Any advice appreciated -- anxious to update my contacts and fully use my new phone!

    Hi choochoo2,
    Have you been able to try using a different USB port or to retry connecting after reinserting the BlackBerry battery? If so, try reinstalling the Desktop Software and retrying the connection.

  • Desktop Software for MAC allows only two way sync

    hi...
    I want help with the Blackberry desktop software for MAc. I am able to synce my phone, however there is no way in which I can do a one-way sync  - replacing all the data on the mac with the data of the phone...
    please let me kniw if there is any way of doing that
    thanks

    Isn't it simply because of the known problem with iCloud sync enabled?
    This operation makes the address book and calendar(s) invisible to BBDM as the data files are "removed" from the Mac and put "in the cloud"...
    Several posts are documenting the problem and suggest some alternatives or work around (by disabling iCloud).
    Look on the forum for additional details.
    Please don't forget to mark as "solved" if your question is replied and to "like" a useful reply to your post ;-)

  • Sync problem with Blackberry Desktop Software for Mac

    Can someone help. I have synchronization problem with my contact in the Outlook for Mac using blackberry desktop software for mac. Seems all details in my blackberry handheld contact got synchronized, but not email addresses (so all names, jobs, companies, work phone, mobile - all got synchronized, but not email addresses). All data is in my handheld. I wish I could just "replace" (not merge/sync) outlook contact with all contact in the handheld but seems there is no option to do that. Let me know please if someone has similar experience and has found out solution. Thanks!

  • I downloaded Motion 5 onto my laptop for working while on the road. I want to put it my desktop for use at home how do I transfer the software to the desktop?

    Super new to Motion 5
    First..the easy ?,  I want to transfer the software from laptoip to desktop for use at home.
    Second, I bought this to try to animate a steam engine and the various implements that it can power. I started with a jpeg and then wanted to make a flickering fire in the cumbustor, show the heat rising up through the boiler, piston moving etc.. does that need to be done in separate layers like in photoshop elements and then attach the behavior or separate groups?
    Thanks!!

    Reply to "First ... the easy?" Hopefully it is easy. If the desktop has the same log-in to the App Store as the laptop then all you have to do is:
    1. boot up the desktop and log in.
    2. go to the App Store and check for software updates (click on the apple in the upper left corner - it's a Mac, isn't it? - and select "Software updates ...")
    2a. If it isn't a Mac, then go to the App Store and log in with the same name and password as what the application was bought with,
    3. With a Mac, the App Store will check the computer for for updates, discover Motion 5 isn't there, and let you download it.
    Unless there is something unusual, that should about do it. Hopefully I haven't muddled a step, but if so, hopefully you can work your way through.
    As for the Part B of the post, the flickering flame, that's going to take more work. Sounds like an interesting project, though.

  • Cant Sync Mac Desktop Software with Mac Outlook 2011

    Hi,
    I cant Sync Mac Desktop Software with Mac Outlook 2011, Calendar and Contacts etc.
    The sync button is not highlighted on the BB Mac Desktop Software therefore it can't be clicked.
    I have turned on sync in Outlook in Preferences under Sync Services.
    In the BB Deskstop Software, when i click on the Calendar function, it says "There are no writable Calendars available for syncing on this computer. The Contacts section says "sync services is currently turned off on this Mac"
    I have updated both the Deskstop software and Mac Outlook to the latest updates.
    Regards.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    First off, you must have installed one of the compatible Desktop Organizer apps:
    KB12268Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Software for Windows for synchronization
    Attempting to use anything NOT on that list will, of course, fail.
    Secondly, you must have not have Outlook installed as "Click To Run":
    KB24040 Support for Microsoft Office 2010 Click-to-Run installation
    If you have it installed in that manner, you must correct that.
    I have no idea how your prior machine was configured, but I know 100% that you can synchronize to a Win7X64 Laptop with Outlook 2010...I do it all the time.
    Good luck!

  • Reboot required when updating desktop software on Mac

    This message is for any RIM employees reading this forum.  The requirement to reboot my machine when upgrading the BlackBerry Desktop Software under OS X is unacceptable.  I use a Mac rather than a Windows machine because I don't want to interrupt my workflow every time I change a preference.  This reflects very badly on the quality of RIM's software engineers.
