Hi BD hope u had a nice Holiday.
I realized I needed to switch the DVI connectors, or switch the displays in order to get the cursor to go from left to right. It was a breeze.
I still can't believe Chris is gone. I'll have to email him and see how he's doing.
Thanx
Mike

  • Force to used command line mouse settings ?!?

    Bravo for not including an option to disable mouse acceleration in the mouse settings. Had to used 2 command lines in the terminal.app to disable the so annoying and so not gaming friendly mouse acceleration... that thing is like dragging the mouse cursor in mud,
    I dont know how mac users can stand it, I guess people get used to it. I am sure its great for paint/draw/... because the mouse slows a lot when you dont move fast, but its totally worthless and sluggish in games.
    And Mac have better interface than windows right? I you want to convert people from the windows world to the mac world, put that setting in... different mouse movement is one of the first thing a windows user will notice when using a mac.

    Here are the 2 command lines to disable mouse acceleration in case some people want to do it:
    1 - Open application then utility folder.
    2 - Select the terminal app
    3 - type the following lines:
    defaults write .GlobalPreferences com.apple.mouse.scaling -1
    defaults write .GlobalPreferences com.apple.trackpad.scaling -1
    4- Restart

  • CC programs freeze when mouse settings are changed to left hand use

    Hi everyone,
    I have a little problem with several CC programs, when the mouse setting is changed to letf hand use for one user.
    We are running Windows 7 x64 Professional and the latest version of Adobe CC 2014 of Photoshop and Illustrator.
    When the user works with large files, the CC program (Photoshop in most cases, but e.g. Illustrator as well)  freezes, the only window that works then is the window of the file that is open at the moment. Windows of other files are not clickable . When the taskmanager is opened then the other windows become clickable again. But when the user clicks somewhere, for example on the desktop  a right click is a left click. that stops when a the left mouse button is clicked, than it works again.
    The problem appears once or twice a day. When we change the mouse settings back to normal everything works fine.
    I appreciate any hints and help
    Thanks,
    Andre

    I tested them all.
    As I already mentioned above: I just don't use the Touch and Launch Tool. I prefer to use only the extended functions of the usual Toshiba driver (as the extended corner functionality or the Easy Launcher). I know that I can set the mouse speed there. (that's what I did) But I?m already at the maximum speed and moreover there?s no possibility to increase the mouse acceleration. That?s why I?d like to change this in the usual windows-settings window.
    For the moment I placed a shortcut to the mouse settings in the autostart folder. So every time I start up, I can change the settings immediately. But of course this is no long-term solution.
    By the way: My goal is to have as less tools and running software as possible on my computer, because I use it for music production and a really need all resources I can get!!

  • Using Dual Displays G5 Dual Core 7800GT

    Hi Gang
    Happy Thanksgiving.
    I'm editing strickly in SD with an older G5 Dual Core 2.0 - 14GB RAM and nVidia GeForce 7800GT 256MB Dual Port DVI Graphics Card. Most Final Cut editors  utiliize dual displays. That being said, wondering if I'd be better off with a PCIe nVidia Quadro FX4500 512MB. I believe my friends Chris & BD here on the forum, may prefer the speed of the nVidia Quadro FX4500. I'm also trying to avoid bogging down the system.
    Thank you

    Hello Diesel
    Don't think we've connected before. And please don't be offended, I'm a 65 year old Mac user who highly regarded Chris's expertise. He was a bit older than most here, and his experience was impeccable. In my qualified opinion, I've been witness here to countless examples of concieted bloatness and inaccuracy. More so on the FCP forum. In fact, sometimes, despite the higher star rating of a responder, I'll eventually solve my own problem contrary to a short rude incorrect reply, (as though they may appear higher than mighty). But of course this is typical of any forum.
    In short, I've found the answer many times lies in different respones from different people. You just have to search.
    Getting back to my ole friend Chris, I'm gonna guess he finally got peturbed with all the 'Arm Chair Quarterbacks', (more now than ever).
    In any event, here's Chris's well researched list, and I see the X1900 is listed as weaker than the 4500.

    I think the answer is that the FULL SIZED nVidia card, (two slots - 512MB), could be more powerful thus preventing a slow down when using two displays.

    The other advantage with nVidia, (as taught by Chris), is that XTI cards do not have temperature sensors. I use Temp Sensor all the time.

  • Using Logitech (PS3 style) Dual Action Gamepad Controller as Mouse in FCP

    I would like to use Logitech's (PS3 style) Dual Action Gamepad Controller for mouse functions in FCP. Any ideas how to go about doing this?

    Try pressing the PS button for 2-3 seconds with Bluetooth on and discoverable before you plug into your MB. When the lights flash, plug it in and press the PS button for 2-3 seconds again. You may need to open System Prefs and click the settings cog below your listed devices in the Bluetooth pane. Once the controller is recognized, click the settings cog and click "add as favorite" & "update services". It should auto pair now whenever you press the PS button when BT is on. I play Borderlands 2 on my 2011 MBP with a PS3 controller. It was a huge chore to find the solution but, heres what I did. Purchase Joystick Mapper, open it, have the controller on. In the menu bar under File, click load examples. Theres a bunch of pre-defined settings for both the PS and XB360 controllers. Some for using as a mouse, First Person Shooter, games that use keys & mouse and so on. I pulled the PS3 FPS example and cloned the example as to not delete the original. Labeled it Borderlands 2 and turned down the sensitivity on the Axis'. They were way to touchy for me. Its not perfect for me yet BUT, it works completely. The Use or E button is actually the Left D-Pad but, its not that odd. It also will give you a good idea on how to do it for other games. Just make a profile for each one. Clone that and then tweak it to your liking. Good luck!

  • How do I use dual displays to have a full screen app on one monitor and another full screen app or the desktop on the other?

    How do I use dual displays to have a full screen app on one monitor and another full screen app or the desktop on the other?
    I want to have my itunes visualizer on my TV which is connected via HDMI adapter, and still have access to full screen itunes and my desktop on the main display.
    Any suggestions?  App downloads that can do this?  Please let me know.

    You can't do it.  This has been an issue since Lion.

  • I have an Apple Powerbook G4, and my monitor doesn't function. I have an external display Monitor, however it's stuck in extended screen mode. How do I get it to mirror or duplicate the display without use of the on-board?

    As i had said, I have an Apple Powerbook G4, and my monitor doesn't function. I have an external display Monitor, however it's stuck in extended screen mode. How do I get it to mirror or duplicate the display without use of the on-board? Is there a Fn key combo i'm missing or is the issue more serious then i realize? any and all help and hints would be greatly apprichiated, thanks in advance.

    The PowerBooks have an F-key that toggles mirrored and extended mode. My PB is loaned out right now but I think it was f7. The keycap has an icon on two overlapping rectangles, as I recall.
    EDIT: Yes! Found a pdf of the PB manual it shows F7 is the toggle:

  • I'm trying to set up a dual monitor for my new iMac. I'm using a second display I used with my old G5. My iMac recognizes the second monitor but the monitor won't turn on. Power button doesn't do anything on the monitor itself.

    I'm trying to set up a dual monitor for my new iMac. I'm using a second display I used with my old G5. My iMac recognizes the second monitor but the monitor won't turn on. Power button doesn't do anything on the monitor itself.

    If it won't turn on then the monitor is dead (power supply?, video circuits?).  Not worth repairing.
    If you have a new iMac then it has thunderbolt.  So exactly what is that monitor you are trying to connect?  For TB you can connect a mini-displayport monitor.   Probably (not 100% sure with TB) can use dvi or vga too if you have the appropriate adapter.

    many thanks.
    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

  • When I use my Delete key to delete a song, I get a pop-up.  This is OK, except the Keep File button is defaulted and I cannot tab or arrow to the "Move to Trash" button, and so i need to use my mouse.  How can I do this only with keyboard?

    Huh.. Interesting. I went back to check these proceedures and found there is a difference between using the return key or the space bar as the action command.
    tabbing the blue ring moves the selection and then spacebar takes that action. The return key takes action of only the blue collored button.

  • Setting Photoshop monitor profiles when using dual displays?

    I'm using a Macbook Pro connected to an Apple Cinema Display under OS 10.5.8. Both monitors are calibrated and I export from Lightroom to Photoshop in ProPhoto. The Photoshop working colour space is also ProPhoto so there is no mismatch there.
    When in dual display mode I like to have my Photoshop application on the Macbook screen and the photo I'm working on shown on the Cinema Display. In fact, I couldn't work any other way because the laptop's screen is not at all suitable for precision work.
    I noticed that when I send an image from Lightroom to Photoshop CS4 for further editing the colours were off in Photoshop. This lead me to check the monitor profile used by Photoshop and I saw it was using the Macbook Pro .icc profile. This seems to be used even if the image is displayed in the external display. Selecting the Cinema Display as "default" in ColorSync doesn't change the situation. As a result, the colours as displayed by Photoshop are incorrect.
    The only "solution" I have found is to either go to System Preferences > Displays  and select the external monitor as the principal one (which is inconvenient because it negates many of the advantages of using dual monitors) or setting the Cinema Display's .icc profile for the Macbook Pro as well (which makes it the one chosen by Photoshop but means I'm only working wiht one correctly calibrated monitor).
    Is there a solution to this problem? Ideally I want to have both my monitors calibrated and Photoshop detect which one I'm using to view my photo. Failing that, I would like to have both monitors calibrated and "tell" Photoshop to use the Cinema Display as the principal monitor.I don't want .
    Many thanks!

    Thanks for your reply!
    I'm not too worried about 10.6 because I'm not using it ( I reverted to 10.5.8 precisely because of the colour issues).
    I don't really understand your reply. My problem is that if Photoshop uses my Mabook Pro profile as the "monitor profile" my pictures - as displayed on the Cinema Display - look different in Lightroom and in Photoshop. It's as if Lightroom is "aware" of which of the two displays is being used whereas Photoshop can only deal with one at a time. I would like to know if this analysis is correct and what I can do so that Photoshop displays my photographs the same way as Lightroom does on each of my two displays.

  • CAN NOT write text on some webpages like googlemail if use right mouse click, last copied text gets pasted in against my will Macbook pro: OSX 10.6.8 Firefox,

    I would like to use right mouse click for spelling translate but when I click it pastes the last copied text in instead of opening the menu it happens on many webpages.
    thanks for help

    still having same problems.
    is this the only way to get support from firefox? where are the developers that write the code? or someone directly responsible for the product? i don't expect an end user to help but this is ridiculous. the windows version works fine but the mac version doesn't. i'm running both on the same machine so it's not the hardware (running windows as a virtual guest in parallels).

  • Use laptop display for dual display

    I'm working on a G5 w/ artisan monitor and want some extra screen real estate. I have a G4 power book and wondered if I can somehow use the screen on the laptop as a dual display for the G5? Both run OSX tiger.

    Hi Virginia,
    Welcome to the discussions.
    As far as I am aware, the graphics cards on the powerbooks enable you to run a second display from the laptop, but only as a "mirrored" (i.e. identical picture) of the main display on the laptop. For extra screen real estate, you need fully independant operation, and that can't happen.
    Also, I don't think you can use the screen off the laptop as a "passive" display, as there is no practical way of supplying the correct video input to your laptop display from the second graphics port of the G5.
    For these two reasons, I believe that what you are considering will not be possible.
    Cheers!
