Dual monitor, but independent each other

Hi all,
I have a MacBook with a 13.3" display and an external LCD (operating system: Leopard Mac OS X 10.5.6). I would like to make the two monitors independent. I explain. I use the "spaces" application with 2 desktops:
Monitor1:
- desktop1: firefox
- desktop2: thunderbird
Monitor2:
- desktop1: openoffice
- desktop2: xcode
I would like to see desktop1 on monitor1, and desktop2 on monitor2. Is this possible?
Thank you very much.

Thank you for your answer. The problem is this: I have 2 monitor with 2 spaces each one, for example:
Monitor1:
- space1: firefox
- space2: thunderbird
Monitor2:
- space1: openoffice
- space2: xcode
When I'm in the space1 I can see firefox on monitor1, and openoffice on monitor2. When I'm in the space2 I can see thunderbird on monitor1 and xcode on monitor2.
Good, but not perfect, because with my configuration, it's impossible to see
- space1 on monitor1 AND space2 on monitor2
or
- space2 on monitor1 AND space1 on monitor2
only
- spaceX on monitor1 AND spaceX on monitor2
Thanks.

    Have you checked all firewall settings?  Turn off all firewalls on all computers and try.

  • WRT54G all computers connect to internet, but not each other

    ver 5 firmware v1.02.5 build 002, Jan. 9, 2008
    Here is my issue. I run a secure wireless network at my home, consisting of 1 desktop (wired) and 1 laptop (wireless) after setting up the network, and turning on file sharing, and sharing drives, the network works fine for a short while. All drives are visible in "My network places" but when I try to access them, I get the error " \\drive\folder not accessible you might not have permission to use this network resource. All computers can use the internet no problem, and appear to be able to see each other, but cannot access each other. The signal is excellent, and the internet is fine as well. Is there any help that you can give me? I am not sure what is happening. No settings are being changed, it just seems that the network connections just disappear. Also, under my network places, the remote drives show up as under the Internet section of the window. Thanks in advance for any help you may be.

  • Replay DVRs can connect to Internet, but not each other through new AEBS

    I have a new AEBS and have had a few problems with it. After experiencing a lot of signal dropping I rolled the firmware back to 7.2 and that seemed to fix those issues.
    Unfortunately, I'm still having one major problem. I have two RePlay DVRs wired to the AEBS. They can both connect to the Internet. (I know this because the TV guides are continuing to update.) But they cannot talk to each other. They should recognize each other and I should be able to watch files on one machine with the other. I could do this with no problem with my previous router. Does anyone else have this problem?? Anyone have any ideas on what to do??

    Can anyone give me a clue? Should I exchange the AEBS, or is there a setting I could tweak??

  • Two Users can connect to apleu3test02 but not each other

    Hello,
    I have been trying to connect to with my wife whom is on a road runner cable modem behind a belkin wireless router. I am on a comcast cable modem behind a linksys wrt54gv4 router, however it is flashed with an open source firmware. Both of us can connect to the various test users out there but we have intermitent issues connecting with each other. I am guessing that this could be partially due to our maximum uploads being about 345kbps. I have not setup any port forwarding, triggering, or ther router adjustments yet. I figured if I can connect to the apple test users it should not be a problem. I am working on trying to test without my router but comcast will not let me mac grab a dhcp address. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Me = macbook pro 2ghz with 2gb ram 10.4.7
    Wife = 1.67 g4 ibook with 512 mb ram 10.4.7

    I'm having the exact same problem. My father and I were able to communicate for weeks with no issues and since updating to 10.4.7 we have a 90% failure rate with video chat. It worked once last night and once this morning otherwise its an error -8.
    Now until recently we have never port forwarded anything except VNC and I can't see how we could use this method with iChat when we have numerous users here at home.
    I think the most frustrating part is it works from time to time and I can find the reason why.

  • IChat4 each client can video chat with test accounts but not each other

    I have two machines with iChat4. Each machine can video chat with the apple test accounts but the dreaded error 8 when trying to chat with each other.
    Any Ideas?

    Ok,
    In the Netopia turn the Firewall to Off as the settings LOw and above have some of the features I was talking about (DOS and SPI protection and Ping Blocking.)
    For the TZ-180 I can only find info on the TZ -170
    This site tells you how to do Port Forwarding.
    The main point off linking you to it is it also tells you the default Access Info.
    It is likely to be the same for this device your Buddy has.
    I would not do the Port Forwarding straight away.
    I would check the menu items to see if it has UPnP and that it is Enabled rather than Port Forwarding.
    I would also check for the features or the wording of any firewall before resorting to setting the Port Forwarding.
    I notice that the TZ-1 70 pics that site has also shows that that particular device has a VoIP setting.
    IF the 180 has this we will need to know what it says and what the wording is and if the service is used.

  • I'm working with dual monitors but can't get it to boot up on my main screen, so all my icons get messed up

    Hey all,
    So I have a Mac Pro at work and it's connected to a 30" monitor and a smaller monitor. I have the larger one set as the primary screen, but when the computer boots it always uses the smaller monitor as the primary, load all my icon on the smaller monitor, then finally swaps everything to the larger monitor. This messes up all my icons on my desktop since they go from placment on a smaller screen then back to the larger one.
    Is there any way to force the mac to boot up with the larger monitor? Or not screw up all my icons?

    Yes.
    A previous attempt was made through my home network, but after much name-calling at the tech support (dude wasn't listening to me) for the print server I bought (which SAYS they work with Mac... such BS), I gave up on that and hooked it back up to the PC. it worked fine. ButI want it to work with the Mac. It should be able to.
    So, now it's hooked up, via USB, directly to the Mac. I love this MF printer... it's the one one I could find a the time that did everything I wanted... and I wouldn't go back to HP, even if they paid me. (that's what I had before)
    Thanks

  • Update Broke Dual Monitors...among other things

    Well Good Evening everyone....I got home to an updated, broke windows build.  I am guessing my PC stayed on and automatically updated over night. I came home to no signal on either of my monitors, all of my software that was installed is now missing,
    and i could not get into my PC. I restarted several times but still no success. I finally removed my secondary monitor, and I then had my screen back which is when I discovered all of my settings and software had been removed, kindalike a Refresh PC you can
    do on Windows 8. All of my files and documents are still in tact though. Also if I plug my secondary monitor back into the video card, still no signal. I've tried using the Windows+P to extend, as well as going to Screen Resolution but my settings will
    not save when i hit apply. This is a bit annoying but I do understand its a technical preview. Just wish my secondary monitor worked, Windows 10 is no good without it. Any ideas?

    Have you tried deleting the drivers manually from Device Manager? Remove any and all components that might be conflicting and unplug any unrelated peripherals. Then reinstall the latest Windows 8.1 drivers. Also make sure your
    monitor connections are setup properly.

  • Mac Mini with dual monitors running independently?...

    Hello,
    I have 2 screens that I would like to make good use of.  Wondering if the mac mini....or any other singular mac solution would accomplish having both screens working simultaneously on different applications through a single mac mini?  Not mirroring screens.....but 1 of my daughters working on a "word" doc on her screen with her keyboard and mouse......and the other daughter surfing the web on her screen with her keyboard and mouse.  Also...if this setup is possible....is there a certain mini that I need to be running or a certain IOS?
    If not mac mini.....is there another solution/workaround that would allow for this setup?  Trying to utilize my 2 screens as best as possible with keeping my hardware to a minimum!!  Thanks for the feedback.

    No, there is no way to set it up with two different interface (keyboard & mouse) setups.
    Unfortunately, it sounds like your about to become a two or three computer family.

  • Help with dual monitors

    I installed Arch on an old Asus MB, and have spent a couple days trying to get dual monitors working. The board is a P4S8X-X with no onboard video, an AGP slot, and six PCI slots.
    First, I tried using an AGP card together with a PCI card with no luck.  I tried using two ATI pci video cards, again no good.
    So, I downloaded a MB manual and discovered that the PCI slots and the AGP slot are all shared. Quote the manual: "When using PCI cards on shared slots, ensure that the drivers support 'Share IRQ" or that the cards do not need IRQ assignments.  Otherwise, conflicts will arise between the two PCI groups, making the system unstable and the card inoperable."
    I'm wondering if dual monitors are possible with this board.  I have another Asus board with an AGP and three PCI slots apparently not shared.
    Couple years ago, I installed dual monitors on my FreeBsd computer, using two cards on an MSI board, with no trouble.  What I'm looking for is two independent monitors, each able to run an application.  I use the JWM window manager. I haven't posted an xorg.conf file as there have been too many to display.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Problem solved.  I switched motherboards and dual monitors are running.

  • Switching window layout on dual monitor

    Hi i have color up with dual monitor but i want the scopes and color window switched between monitors. I can just drag each window across and switch them around but there is no resizing option so one window is larger on the smaller monitor when switched from the larger one.
    How else can i switch windows around?
    Thank You.

    Dont worry i figured it out. If you change the Menu Bar in the OS display settings it will switch the scree arrangements of color

    So it looks to me like both displays are being detected.  The geometry looks such that one display is on top of the other, but I can change that using an xorg.conf.d config file (e.g. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mu … xorg.conf).  I also tried using arandr.
    The real problem is that the display on HDMI3 just isn't "waking up".  The power is on, but it just sits there in sleep mode.
    Any help would be great.  I might just be missing something simple.  Thanks.
    Edit:  I just saw a short list of window managers near the bottom of the Arch Multihead page (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mu … _xorg.conf).  I don't see openbox on that list.  Does that mean I'm SOL if I want to use openbox with multiple monitors?  This page seems to imply that it should work fine with openbox http://magnatecha.com/dual-monitors-wit … nd-xrandr/.

    I use XFCE, and when I boot my computer I just run:
    xrandr --output DVI-I-1 --auto --output DVI-I-2 --auto --left-of DVI-I-1
    I'm assuming if you modify the names appropriately that it'll work too.  I have had issues before trying to run dual monitors without taking both outputs off of a single video card (which is what I'm doing now).  For example, I had a graphics card with one (VGA) output and a VGA output on my motherboard.  But, connecting the graphics card disabled the on-board VGA.  So it is possible (I'm not an expert here) that two displays coming off the motherboard may not work for hardware reasons.

  • HT5219 How would I connect dual monitors and also a firewire cable?  Macbook Pro (Retina)

    Currently I am using two thunderbolt to DVI connectors for the dual monitors, but I am left without any firewire cable connection for my audio interface. THe only adaptor I found was another thunderbolt to firewire, but since I already used these two ports, I am left with no options. I haven't been able to find any usb to firewire cable connections.
    Are there any other adapators/ports I can use that I am not aware of?
