Does the desktop on the display match the desktop on the portable exactly?

I just want to check before I go ahead and order the display and the new MBA whether the desktops of the two will match perfectly.
The reason I am asking this is that I have been googling images of the display and in most of the pictures the display's desktop looks different to the desktop of the attached portable. This is also the case on Apple.com's site.
In one display, the desktop looks the same but is missing the dock.
I need to have the display showing the exact same desktop as my portable (Macbook Air 13 inch) including the dock. I know though the resolutions will be different so more of a web page will show up on the display. That is OK. That is the reason I am buying a display.
Examples of how the desktops differ:

Thanks for clearing up any confusion over this.

Enable mirroring in the "Arrangement" tab of "Displays" system preference.
I know though the resolutions will be different so more of a web page will show up on the display.
No. With mirroring you will see only what is on the MacBook display. The screen will have black borders if its resolution is greater than the MacBooks's displau.

  • How do you down load a previous purchase from iTunes. The help instructions don't match what is on the iTunes My Purchased list.

    How can previous purchases be downloaded. The help instructions don't match what is on the page of the previous purchases.

    What you can redownload will depend upon what country that you are in - music, films and TV programmes can't be redownloaded in all countries, audiobooks and ringtones are one-time only downloads. What you can redownload will show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes (if content providers/rights-holder have removed items from the store then they also won't show for redownloading)

  • How do I get the Adobe toolbar to display above a pdf in the web browser?

    Hi guys,
    I'm just having trouble with locating the grey toolbar, it's not displaying when I open a .pdf in a web browser.
    I can open the .pdf fine, (within Safari), and usually (on my old computer) there was a grey toolbar above the .pdf & there's a print icon on it - that's what I'm looking for, so that I can print my lecture notes straight away.
    The toolbar won't display on the web browser above the .pdf, but if I save the .pdf & open it with Adobe Reader, then the toolbar displays there with all of the icons etc.
    So I was wanting to know if instead of saving them every time, if there's an option to get the toolbar displaying above .pdfs in Safari?
    Has anyone else encountered this problem?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Unfortunately, iOS does not provide a way to install "plugins" to Safari so there is no possible way the Reader can do this. You can use the "open in" functionality to launch Reader from Safari.

  • How can I adjust the width of email display so text remains within the width of display

    Most emails are narrow enough to fit within the width of my display, occasionally I receive an email that spills of the edge of my screen and I need to move focus of my display back & firth with every line, is there a way to display in word wrap.?

    You can set the width of the word wrap in about:config. Get to about:config from Options > Advanced > General > Config Editor. Search for "wrap" and set mailnews.wraplength to whatever works for you. You should also set mail.wrap_long_lines to true.

  • Is the high definition (HD) display of my new laptop the culprit behind my tiny impossible to read icons and menu headers in all my CS5 adobe programs?

    The toolbox icons and menu headers are too small to read in all my adobe cs5 programs. I just purchased a new laptop with a high definition (HD) screen and 1920x1080 resolution. So far I tried dropping the resolution to 1680x1050 that does not solve the problem. I went into photoshop preferences/interface and bumped up text size to "large" and that made text in menus readable but not the icons or menu headers. Then it occurred to me, the one thing that is different is the HD display. Does anyone know if that is the reason for the tiny icons and text?  Thanks for your help.

    Hi Gene,
    I tried what you mentioned and wow! the icons and menu headers in photoshop are a normal size again.
    One other thing I did since my first post, I found a way to bump up the size of text in the display settings of Windows and that fixed readability in most of the adobe products I use ( acrobat pro, illustrator, indesign, bridge-somewhat) but not photoshop. Anyways, thanks for your advice! you have saved me from ruining my eyesight.

  • Rows Per Page doesn't affect the number of records displayed

    I just updated from 3.2 to 4.0 this morning. When I change the Rows Per Page value in the action menu the report doesn't change and the number of records displayed stays at 10. The report has ~6000 records. I edited the report attributes and add the rows selector to the IR search bar. This doesn't change the behavior either. I noticed that if I change the rows per page in the action menu then the drop down select list is updated, but the report still doesn't change from 10. I tried paging to the next set of results and it still remains at 10.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem?
    Tony

    Yes, Tony, I've seen this in several versions of APEX. In most cases, simply starting a new session was enough to force APEX to refresh the page and grab the new set of pagination directives. If that doesn't work, please give more info like: what type of report you are doing and what the Pagination values are. Please note the following:
    Report Template
    Pagination Scheme
    Enable Partial Page Refresh
    Display Position

  • "The Page Cannot Be Displayed" error when clicking the Remote Agent

    Hi everyone! We have installed ACS SE 4.0 and we have added a remote agent running on Windows Server 2003. Recently, we are encountering "The page cannot be displayed" error when we click the RA under a network device group. This is resolved by rebooting the ACS SE appliance and accessing the ACS SE web console again but after few hours, problem reoccurs. Clicking the links on the ACS SE web console is okay at first but after clicking the RA, every link shows the error "The page cannot be displayed." Hope you could help us on this problem. Anyone's support is very much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi JG,
    Thank you so much for your response. Does Cisco have a documentation that states that this is a known issue with 4.0, such as release notes, for we might need this for the proposal upgrade?
    Again, thanks a lot!

  • Is the Macbook Pro Retina display better than the LED display on the new iMac that is coming out?

    I am thinking of either buying the Macbook Pro retina display (15") or waiting for the iMac 27" display. I am mainly focusing on the display, so what is better?

    vinay.sujan wrote:
    Is the MacBook Pro Retina display resolution of 2880-by-1800 a strain on the eyes as I understand the higher the resolution the more strainful the screen can be to the eyes?
    Well there are two or three causes of eyestrain with displays different people seem to have.
    1: Small type/UI elements
    2: Glossy screens
    3: Flicker rate
    1:
    The higher pixel rate combined with the display set at the higher resolution is going to cause UI and type to be smaller and harder to see. In fact it's advised to set OS X to a lower resolouton so it upscales better to match the pixel of the higher display.
    Reports coming in say watching HD 1920 x 1080 trailers on the anti-glare 17" is best as the pixel content matches the display almost fullscreen, where on the MBP-R it's upscaled and thus looks blurry.
    HD content makers are NOT going to change all their video cameras to support 2880 x 1800 full screen, so in order to get a clearer image playing HD 1080 content, one will have to do so in a smaller window.
    2:
    The new MBP-R dispalys are 75% less glossy, but not 100% less glossy like the anti-glare models so this can still cause some people problems. This can be lowered to under 1%, however I'm suspecting to do so would be considered giving up a military advantage to China where Apple gets it products made.
    3:
    I don't know about the flicker rate if it's better or not on the MBP-R's than the previous screens.

  • How can I change the order of thumbnails so it affects the order in the lightbox when using the composition widget - lightbox display?

    Hi, I'm making my portfolio in Muse, and I'm using the composition widget - lightbox display. I imported all the images and then I wanted to reorganize the thumbnails - and when I do that, the order in the lightbox doesn't change and so it's not the same as the order of the thumbnails (after rearranging them). Please let me know if there is a way to fix this quickly, or do I have to do it all one more time

    The order the items display in a composition widget is the front to back order of the items. You can rearrange the stacking order of the thumbnails/triggers using the Layers panel and/or the Object > Bring To Front, Send To Back, etc. menu items to adjust the order they're displayed during auto play or when clicking the next/previous buttons.

  • How to see the borders of a "display area" in GridBagLayout

    I would like to see the display area of a JPanel .
    I use this technique:
    panel.setBorder(new TitledBorder(new LineBorder(Color.blue, 2), "DisplayArea?"));
    //Is this correct?
    If not, how can I see the borders of a display area (as opposed to the borders of a JPanel ) of a JPanel ?
    note: I am new to Swing, so I am using the word "display area" in the context of what I read in the API for java.awt.GridBagLayout .
    Maybe there is no real concept of a "display area"?
    I am trying to get the JPanel to expand to the borders of its "display area", but I can't see what is going on. Either I am not expanding the JPanel, or the "display area" is smaller than I would think.
    Thanks.
    Edited by: rikasai on May 3, 2009 2:07 AM

    I think your basic problem lies in this "note: I am new to Swing,",
    and quite probably do not have a sufficient understanding of layoutManagers,
    in particular the one associated with JFrame.
    your problem reads as though you have a JPanel that you have sized to (e.g.) 400,200
    and added this to a JFrame, sized at (e.g.) 600,400, and you expect this to give you a
    100 blank area around the panel.
    the nature of a JFrame's default layoutManager is that if you add something to it,
    via frame.add(panel), it will be added to the default area of the frame (CENTER), and
    it will take all the available space. So, whether you specify 400,200 or 50,50 etc,
    the panel will take up all of the available space in the contentPane of the 600,400 frame.
