Disable Spaces for second monitor

Hi there,
I wonder if it's possible to deactivat Spaces for my second monitor, because I primarily use it for my chat applications, so I don't have to switch back and forth.
Thanks in advance

I'm really surprised not more people are talking about this. Apple? You have a solution? Cause right now Spaces is un-usable. I use it on a machine at work and LOVE it! I only need 4 spaces, but with the dual monitor all of the sudden i have 8 spaces of different sizes and it *****.
by the way, that last word that i can't believe apple blanked out is " s-u-c-k-s"

Can't get correct resolution for second monitor

I am trying to use two monitors with a Vostro 1400 (Intel X3100 video card), the problem is I can't set the external monitor to 1280x1024. Gnome's screen resolution program only let me choose from 640x480 to 1360x768. Besides the resolution of the second monitor, everything else seems to be working fine. Some relevant info:

CS4 - Is there a way to adjust gamma for second monitor or send to overlay?

One thing that is evident when I edit in Premiere CS4 using the AVCHD 1080i 60 template is that the preview in the second monitor, which in my case is my TV set connected using a DVI to HDMI cable, is that the output is too dark compared to what it should be. Darker areas of the frame sometimes even get crushed into black when the same footage, when played directly from the camcorder, or even burned to blu-ray and played, is noticeably brighter and at the right black levels.
This doesn't happen when editing in Vegas Pro 8, or when the untouched footage is played through other video player, including Windows 7 Media Center.
A workaround for this problem can be to go to the graphics card control panel, in my case ATI Catalyst, and adjust the gamma for the second monitor, with the problem being that when you're done editing in Premiere you have to go back to the normal gamma. At one point I had setup two profiles in Catalyst with shortcuts and it worked well, but one day Catalyst simply lost the profiles and noticing how buggy it was I wasn't going to keep creating profiles so that Catalyst would delete them.
So my question is, since it's not in the preferences, is there some settings file or registry address that I can tweak to make Premiere display a brighter gamma of my choice?
And this may be a dead end, but is there a way to send the output of the second monitor to the overlay so that it can take advantage of the graphic's card video capabilities and display video smoothly? It's nice to have a preview of the timeline, but it's rather annoying if I have to go to the Catalyst control panel and adjust gamma before editing and after editing and that motion is jerky and not interlaced when I'm editing interlaced content.

You need the VESA mount option. That way your minimum angle would be completely vertical and you could open it to a negative 10 degrees.
Hope this helps.

No signal for second monitor

I have a Pavilion Elite HPE 340 CH. It has a BENQ monitor which is plugged in via an adaptor and works fine.
I tried to add a second monitor. I unscrewed the small plate and plugged the second monitor into the socket but there's no signal. I tried swapping the two monitors and it is just the second socket which is not ouputting any thing.
Can you help?

Here are the specs for your HP Pavilion Elite HPE-340ch Desktop Computer and its MS-7613 (Iona-GL8E) Motherboard. According to the specs, the system came with a discrete Radeon HD5570 (2 GB) graphics card thats supports HDMI, DVI, and DisplayPort (DVI-to-VGA adapter cable) outputs. The motherboard in your computer has an integrated graphics adapter that supports DVI-D and VGA outputs, however they are blanked off and unusable because of the installed discrete graphics card. These integrated outputs are located between the sound jacks and USB/networking jacks on the back of your computer and are non-functional. Please replace the blanking which you have removed and use the outputs from the discrete graphics card.
Please provide the make and model of both monitors, so that we can determine what is needed to make yuor configuration work for you.

Cable for second monitor.........

Hi- I am using a 24" Samsung but also have a 15" Samsung that I would like to use. The cable that the 15' has is a 15pin d-sub and I need it to go to the ADC plugin on my G4 Mac. I am having trouble locating a cable to do such a thing. I can find plenty of cables that go from/or to ADC and DVI. Does anyone know where I can get such a cable? I really appreciate any help with this! It's a Samsung SyncMaster 570V (15"). Judy

You need the ADC to VGA adapter
<http://www.mac-pro.com/s.nl/it.A/id.230/.f?sc=2&category=128>
Note: the ADC to DVI adapter, followed by a DVI to VGA adapter won't work because most ADC to DVI adapters don't pass the analog video signals needed for VGA.
All ADC adapters are becoming scarce because the connector is no longer being manufactured.
If you can't find the ADC to VGA adapter, and your 24" display is DVI, you could use an ADC to DVI adapter for the 24" display, and connect the 15" display to the other port (with a DVI to VGA adapter if it is a DVI port). ADC to DVI adapters seem to be more common than ADC to VGA.

Adobe Second Monitor Bug

I have a 2013 Mac Pro with an Apple Thunderbolt Display as my main monitor and a Dell 4K monitor as my second monitor. I have created a workflow under the Window menu that puts the palettes where I want and the timeline is on the second, 4K monitor.
None of the Adobe apps (CC 2014) on my Mac are capable of remembering where the palettes on that 4K monitor are supposed to go. When I launch the apps, the palettes are all over the place and I have to manually reset them. Selecting my saved workflow doesn't move them to where they are supposed to be.
So this happens in Flash too.
I've tried the solution I read about making sure the monitors in the Display preferences were arranged so that the bottom of both monitors is exactly in the same spot. No difference. I also made sure that the Spaces option was unchecked about separate spaces for second monitors.
Just seems like a bug with the way all Adobe apps are behaving on 4K secondary monitors.
Oh yeah, ever app I have has a menu bar on BOTH monitors, except Adobe's apps. Is that the way they are supposed to behave or is this related to the bug I'm describing?
Thanks!

I have OS X 10.10.3.
In Flash, it brings up the timeline on the second monitor way down at the bottom of the screen. I have to drag it back up to where it's supposed to be every single time. Even thought it's saved as a Workspace, etc., it's not sticking.
Thanks!

Spaces help! Second monitor.

I am about to purchase a second monitor. The way i have spaces set up now is that when i click itunes, it shoves it into space 2. Perfect.
Now, i would like to have my external monitor set up so that when i click itunes it loads up in the external monitor.
How would i go about this? Can it be done? Would i have space 2 dedicated to my external monitor? Cheers.

Unfortunately Spaces doesn't let you set up a separate space for each monitor. If you're running dual monitors, each one will have a Space 2. If you move iTunes onto the second monitor and then close it, it should reopen on the second monitor. This doesn't always work reliably with all applications. Spaces still needs some work. I'd love to be able to set a separate space for each monitor.

Spaces and Dual Monitors

I have a new 24" iMac with a 22" Dell extending the desktop. When I activate spaces it switches between the spaces for both monitors (as I'm sure it should). However, I am wanting to know if there is a way for me to make it where Spaces will only switch the main iMac screen and not switch the Dell. This is because I use the Dell to hold Snitter, Adium, CoverSutra, Transmission, etc. Things that I would like to have open at all times.

what you can do is assign Snitter, Adium, CoverSutra and Transmission to every space in Spaces preferences and make sure that their application windows are positioned on your Dell. This will more or less accomplish what you are after.

not possible. the best you can do is assign all apps that you regularly keep on the second monitor to all spaces at once.
Or if not possible, how to setup a different spaces for the second moniteur ?
not sure what you mean by this. the second monitor is an extension of the first. that's how it will appear in every space and you can't change that.
Thanks a lot

Enable/disable second monitor Mavericks - only software solution.

I am looking for a way to disable a second monitor (plugged into the Display Port of a 2011 Mac mini) without unplugging it. Does anyone know of a software solution?
When I am working I like that second monitor for desktop space, but other times (watching Netflix for example) the second monitor (in my case TV Sony Bravia) taxes the video card to much and degrades video playback performance. It would be great to have a software switch to ignore the second monitor. Right now, the only way I have found to do this is to unplug the display port cable from TV.
SwitchResX doesn’t recognize any of monitor or TV in Mavericks, so the app is useless. It would be fantastic if anyone know software solution (I really would like to have plugged second monitor all the time).
Thanx

I've been using SwitchResX for quite a while, sometimes buggy but very useful: http://www.madrau.com

Disabling Spaces & Expose on 2nd Monitor

Does anyone know if there is a way to disable spaces and expose on a 2nd monitor? I want the 2nd screen to run a keynote presentation and not be affected by my activities on the first screen.
Thanks,
Pete

Having played around with the two monitor configuration for a few days now, I realized that what I really need is a way to make them run independent of each other, essentially running the second monitor as a separate tv monitor for movies and slide shows. So far I haven't found a way to do this.
Also, whenever I play a Keynote presentation, it takes over both screens in one way or another and Apple didn't seem to have any idea of a way to change this. Is there a different way I could connect them that might make them more independent of each other?

Disable Second Monitor Mac Pro

I have a nice new Mac Pro system with the standard Nvidia 7300 Video card. I connected a second dipslay to it today to watch some videos on my 32" HDTV. However I noticed that the video really suffers when both displays are active in extend mode. The video stutters and I encounter a lot of "image slicing" that is really distracting. I found that if I watch the videos in mirror mode everything is fine. Here comes the question is there a way to disable the seond display when I am not using it? I used to do this all of the itme on my Windows box I could just click disable secondary display and it would turn off and I wold be back to a single monitor config without manually unplugging the seond monitor. Anyone got any ideas?

According to this thread, SwitchResX allows you to do exactly what you're looking for. It's right on the webpage:
You can disable or deactivate a monitor without having to physically unplug it, allowing you to use a laptop in clamshell mode with external monitor, keyboard and mouse

Correct export color space for wide gamut monitors.

Running a photography studio I have 4 typical scenarios of how clients or end users will see my photo work. I create and edit the photos using LR 3 on a HP 2475w (wide gamut) monitor. I'm aware that there are color shifts, but trying to figure out which export color space to use to be most consistent.
A) Wide Gamut monitor using color managed software or browser such as Firefox.
B) Wide Gamut monitor NOT using color managed software such as IE 8.
C) Standard monitor using color managed software or browser such as Firefox.
D) Standard monitor NOT using color managed software such as IE 8.
A) gives the best results and that's what I run myself. No matter the color space that I export (sRGB, aRGB, or my custom calibrated ICC) the images appear to be correct 100%
B) gives mixed results...the hosting site for my photos seems to oversaturate a bit when I view the photos in their preview size which is what my clients see, when I view the original photo in full resolution (this feature disabled for my clients to avoid them downloading full rez copies of images), then the images appears a bit dull (70%). When I try this same scenario using aRGB export, it looks better (90-95%). When I export it using my monitor profile then the photo is spot on 100% however my monitor profile shows the photo incorrectly when viewing it using the standard Windows Vista photo viewer, it appears lighter and less saturated which I guess I expect since it's not color managed.
C) On a standard monitor the photos all look the same regardless of color space export so long as I use a color managed browser such as Firefox.
D) This gives pretty much the same breakdown of results as scenario B above. At the moment, it appears that when I use my custom ICC profile which is the calibration of my monitor...I get the best web results.
However my custom ICC profile gives me the worst local results within my windows viewer and when my clients load the photos on their machines, no doubt they will look just as bad on theirs regardless of which monitor they use. So aRGB seems to be the best choice for output. Anyone else do this? It's significantly better when viewing in IE on both Wide Gamut and Standard LCD's when compared to sRGB.
I would guess that my typical client has a laptop with Windows and they will both view the photos locally and upload them on the web, so it needs to look as close to what it looks like when I'm processing it in LR and Photoshop as possible. I know that a lot of people ask questions about their photos being off because they don't understand that there's a shift between WG and non-WG monitors, but I get that there's a difference...question is which color space export has worked best for others.

I am saying that since images on the internet are with extremely few
exceptions targeted towards sRGB. It is extremely common for those images to
not contain ICC profiles even if they really are sRGB. If they do not
contain ICC profiles in the default mode in Firefox, Firefox (as well as
Safari btw, another color managed browser), will not convert to the monitor
profile but will send the image straight to the monitor. This means that on
a wide gamut display, the colors will look oversaturated. You've no doubt
seen this on your display, but perhaps you've gotten used to it. If you
enable the "1" color management mode, Firefox will translate every image to
the monitor profile. This will make the colors on your display more
realistic and more predictable (since your monitor's very specific
properties no longer interfere and the image's colors are displayed as they
really are) for many sites including many photographic ones. This is most
important on a wide gamut display and not that big of a deal on a standard
monitor, which usually is closer to sRGB.
It seems you are suggesting that for a wide-gamut display it is better to
try using your own monitor's calibration profile on everything out there,
assuming on images posted with a wider gamat it will get you more color
range while there would be nothing lost for images posted in sRGB.
Indeed. The point of color management is to make the specific
characteristics of your monitor not a factor anymore and to make sure that
you see the correct color as described in the working space (almost always
sRGB on the web). This only breaks down when the color to be displayed is
outside of the monitor's gamut. In that case the color will typically get
clipped to the monitor's gamut. The other way around, if your original is in
sRGB and your monitor is closer to adobeRGB, the file's color space is
limiting. For your monitor, you want to make the system (Firefox in this
case) assume that untagged files are in sRGB as that is what the entire
world works in and translate those to the monitor profile. When you
encounter adobeRGB or wider files (extremely rare but does happen), it will
do the right thing and translate from that color space to the monitor
profile.
Wide gamut displays are great but you have to know what you are doing. For
almost everybody, even photographers a standard gamut monitor is often a
better choice. One thing is that you should not use unmanaged browsers on
wide gamut displays as your colors will be completely out of whack even on
calibrated monitors. This limits you to Firefox and Safari. Firefox has the
secret option to enable color management for every image. Safari doesn't
have this. There is one remaining problem, which is flash content on
websites. Flash does not color manage by default and a lot of flash content
will look very garish on your wide gamut display. This includes a lot of
photographer's websites.
