Dual monitor - Macbook Pro

Hi.
I am really enjoying my Mac with an additional monitor. However, under some conditions, such as using a graphic application, it would be better to have the external monitor to be the main monitor. I have not found anywhere a setting that would allow this. Is this by design or is there a way to get the bigger monitor to be the main monitor regardless of the application.
Thanks very much.

Yes, there is a way to do this. If you open Display Preferences, under the arrangement tab you will see that there is a small representation of the menu bar showing on the MBP's LCD screen. Click on and drag the little menu bar to the other display and it will become the "primary" one.

  • My 2010 15 in. 2.66 Ghz i7 dual core macbook pro randomly shuts off and reboots

    I am a student at a college, and I recently bought a used MacBook Pro from the computer store which is part of a 4 year turnaround program when Faculty get new machines. It is a 2010 15 in. 2.66 GHz i7 dual core MacBook Pro, and I have had it for almost 1 week. After I got it, I installed Office 365 and Microsoft Document Connection. Almost immediately after doing this, and when I opened a Office application, it shut down. So I thought that installing Office 365 was somehow causing the computer to shut down. But over the past week, I've had maybe 3 more random shut downs including when all Office applications were quit and thus inactive. They were pretty rare, so I actually thought it wasn't such a problem because they didn't interrupt my work too badly. The screen suddenly goes black with no warning, and then immediately without me doing anything the computer reboots to grey screen, apple logo with languages / licensing stuff, tells me I shut down my computer due to a problem do I want to return to the screen I was on with all my stuff on it?, I say yes and it quickly goes to the desktop with everything I was working on pulled up.
    So I didn't mind too much until last night, when it shut down twice within rapid succession of one another. Shut down, reboot, within seconds of me clicking on mail or whatever, boom, shuts down, reboots again. That was annoying. Then this morning, I wake up, open my computer to do work, BOOM shut down 1, open again, try to work, this time I'm using Safari when boom shuts down again time #2 within 1 minute of last shut down, then BOOM shuts down A THIRD TIME this time within 5 minutes of the last shut down. But still 3 SHUT DOWN/ REBOOTS in 10 minutes. Needless to say this is extremely annoying. Also, these last three times it has been on Battery power, but last night it was plugged in, so I don't think it's a battery issue. Also, my computer was fully charged (or almost) this morning, so it's not like it's on really low battery or anything like that.
    I checked this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5044196?start=30&tstart=0, and it seems like I may be having kernel panics due to a defective NVIDIA graphics card. How do I tell what is causing these shut down cycles? How do I get it fixed? Also, needless to say, this MacBook is 4 years old, and I am not the original owner / purchaser, so I'm sure it's out of warranty. Does anyone know how much this will cost me at the Apple Store?

    ggp057,
    it could be due to the NVIDIA GPU defect in the 15-inch Mid 2010 models. It might also be due to faulty RAM. Do you know whether it has its factory-installed RAM, or if the RAM had been replaced? The GPU defect can be confirmed by making an appointment at your nearest Apple store to have them run their Video System Test on your MacBook Pro. Yes, it’s long out of warranty; the diagnostic test should be gratis, but if the defect is present, it typically costs a few hundred dollars to remedy (it involves a logic board replacement).
    Did you also receive the two grey installation DVDs which originally came in the box with your MacBook Pro? Among other things, it has your model’s Apple Hardware Test. If you didn’t receive them, and the computer store is unable to provide them to you, then you can purchase a replacement pair from Apple. The Apple Hardware Test includes a RAM test, although it isn’t able to detect all possible RAM problems.

  • SAP Netweaver 7.01 trail on a dual boot MacBook Pro

    Hello, I would like to know if SAP Netweaver will work on a MacBook Pro. I am planning to dual boot  Windows 7 basic using a software called Bootcamp which is native to Mac OS X 10.5
    System Spec :
    Model Name:     MacBook Pro
      Model Identifier:     MacBookPro5,1
      Processor Name:     Intel Core 2 Duo
      Processor Speed:     2.4 GHz
      Number Of Processors:     1
      Total Number Of Cores:     2
      L2 Cache:     3 MB
      Memory:     2 GB
      Bus Speed:     1.07 GHz
    *I have two Questions  :*
    1) Will SAP Netweaver 7.01 trail work with Windows 7 32 bit basic edition ?
    2) Are the system spec above sufficient to run SAP ?
    Thank's for your time.

    I'm having lots of problems installing SAP NetWeaver 7.01 SR1 on my MacBook with WinXP Pro SP2 running in Parallels.  I have allocated 1 GB RAM to WinXP and changed the Paging to 4096 MB which is the maximum.  I have over 150 GB allocated to the C: drive.
    I also changed the number of processes to 1.  I am assuming that the change to the C:\Program Files\sapinst_instdir\NW701\AS-ABAP\ADA\CENTRAL\inifile.xml file will do the trick.

    I tried to continue the old installation that I had to stop since it had taken more than 12 hours on the Phase 12 of 27 - Create Database Schema step.  If this does not work (this is my third hard time trying to do this after having to uninstall),  I think I will get VMware and just install this on the Windows 2003 Server if I can't get this working on XP.
    Since you were able to get it working on XP, technically, I should be able to even though it's running in Parallels.  There must be a way to monitor the MaxDB database activity to see why the Create Database Schema is taking so long.
    Thanks for you help in advance,

  • HDMI bad resolution on second monitor macbook pro retina

    I just bought a second monitor for my macbook pro retina and connected it through a HDMI cable. To my surprise it did not play the full resolution it only plays 1360 x 768....
    I already tried the alt trick when showing display preferences, but no win either. Can anyone please help? Thanks.

    If you do not need the USB pass-through to the display, this MonoPrice adapter is available for under US$75:

  • HELP please; Monitor+Macbook Pro

    I´m desperate; I´ve a color critical work to finish and my Eizo CG241W isn´t detected by my Macbook Pro 15" 2,33.
    I started with this problem some days ago with Leopard. I changed to Snow Leopard. I clean my system from small software possible conflicts. I reset Pram, I clean my electric system too (new UPS also)...what else can I doooooooo ,-C
    It´s a bug? It´s electrical problem? What?
    My Mac is ok. The hardware test is ok; the permissions are fine, the USB and video ports seems working fine. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!! Whats wrooong!!!
    I need my Eizo back!!!!
    I need to finish my project!!!! Apple what´s wrong?
    ;-C

    Your point is valid but I´ve nothing to test this cable; no other device to do it, no other setup.
    I did another kind of test (apart from everything else I´ve tried):
    The monitor has two video ports DVI-I - one for digital and another for analogue connections (like I used with my old G4-not anymore)
    I´ve tried that other analogue connection (ANOTHER supplied Eizo cable on a different monitor connector port) with the Apple DVI to VGA adapter for the Mac and it works. But the resolution is weird/stretched so I can´t work with it.
    This tells me that maybe there´s a problem with the digital cable I used all this time?
    Or could it be the digital monitor connection port?
    I´m a bit confused.
    How does a cable, never moved (I almost never disconnected my Macbook Pro), allways working can be damaged?
    2 years of use?
    Electric problem?
    The cable looks brand new as on the first day.
    How does a connection port became damaged? Electric fluctuation? I´ve an UPS device for protection.
    Thanks for your help, Alex

  • Kernel panic when auto switching between dual graphics, Macbook Pro 17 (8.3 / Lion)

    Hi guys,
    I was wondering if you might be able to help me with an issue I'm having. I reciently bought a new 17 inch Macbook Pro 8.3 that came pre installed with Lion. Ever since I first started it up (before I installed any apps that aren't incuded in Lion) I've been having constant but random kernel panic attacks. I've been in contact with Apples support agents and even talked with their senior agents but they haven't been able to assist me. The problem report looks like this:

    I'm fairly technical but this is overkill even for me. I managed by googling "AGC GPU REGISTER RESTORE FAILED" to find a japanese blog that helped me fix the problem but it's only partially solved. I'm not getting any kernel panic attacks by switching of the integrated graphics under "Energy Saver" in system prefs but instead getting decreased battery life as the computer is constantly using the dedicated graphics card. So in other words when I untick the "Automatic Graphics Switching" the problem is gone.
    I always get the same report and it doesn't really matter if I'm pushing the machine to it's limits or just writing something in TextEdit. When speaking to Apples support advisors they implied that it's most likely not hardware related but software related. I personally think that it's most likely the driver related and could be fixed by modifying the AppleGraphicsControl.kext file but I can't be sure. I've never modified a kext file before and feel a bit uncomfortable doing it without any assistance.
    Could anyone please give me some advice. It would be sincerely appreciated.
    Thanks
    PS. Forgot to add that I've reinstalled Lion several times, reset SMC, PRAM, etc. None of that worked.

    I had to send my MB Pro to an authorized apple service provider where they ran diagnostic tests on it and concluded that it was the logic board (motherboard) that was as seeehr germans would put it "kaput". After they replaced it with a new one and re-did the tests everything worked fine. So in my opinion waiting for a SW update to fix the issue one would have to wait an eternity. Just let the technicians take a look at it and they'll most likely replace the logic board or the entire computer depending on what makes most sense for them.
    This is not a software glitch but HW. The only reason one does not experience this in bootcamp is due to no automatic graphic switching in windows. It only runs the dedicated GPU and never switches to the intergrated Intel HD3000 GPU.
    Hope this gives you some clarity.
    PS. I asked the technician if he could give me a detailed explanation in regards to which part of the GPU / logic board was causing the issue but he couldn't answer that question.

  • Time Machine makes full backups on dual boot MacBook Pro

    Since installing Lion alongside Snow Leopard, Time Machine insists on backing up everything on the Snow Leopard side (around 190GB) and a large portion of Lion (around 35GB) each time I run it from either partition to a 2TB Time Capsule.
    When I first installed Lion I just backed up everything from there but then discovered I couldn't restore files that belonged to Snow Leopard, so I started backing them up separately, and that's when the real trouble began.
    Any ideas as to what to do? Should I back up each partition to a completley separate HDD?
    Ivo

    I have since devised my own workaround - one that I call CrissCross.
    Since I have 2 Time Capsules - one for the MacBook Pro and one for a G5 Tower - I set it up so that each partition on the MBP backs up to separate TC's while the G5 shares one.
    Not really a fix but it works beautifully

  • Ps3 dual shock MacBook Pro

    Anyone have any luck at all pairing a Playstation Dualshock 3 to a MacBook Pro Retina running osx 10.8.2? I can get it to connect and add it to my favorites but the controller will not function with Call of Duty Black Ops that I bought from iTunes.
    What am I missing or is this even possible? Is there a different controller I should be trying instead?

    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!

  • CS4 on Dual Core MacBook Pro...Unknown Recording Error?

    Hello! I am getting the "Unknown Recording Error" when I capture from my Analog-DV Bridge. It will record for a few minutes, then give the error. Recording quality for what it does record is perfect. Any ideas? Thanks!

    Use Scenalyzer for DV capture.

  • Dual monitor, and other questions....

    I'm sorry for these questions if they've already been discussed... with all the back lash, I'm having a hard time wading through all the comments.
    I have a macbookpro.
    I use an external 24" monitor along with my 15" laptop for editing. My 15" is used for my canvas.
    1: Can I use this set up with the new FCP X?
    I use PPro CS5 currently and I like the way it handles media and saving my projects.
    2: How does FCP X handle media?
    2.a: Does it handle media like iPhoto / Aperture?
    2.b: Are projects saved like in iMovie?
    I keep all my media on external hard drives.
    3: Will this be a problem with FCP X?
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    Tony

    On my dual monitor Mac pro, the main monitor has the timeline and canvas. The second monitor has the events I think, basically the bin. You'd probably want to make your 24 the main monitor
    FCP X handles media and projects a lot like iMovie. iTunes and iPhoto are accessed just like iMovie. You can save media to whatever drive you want although you can't really drill down to a particular location
    Hope this helps

  • How to use Dual monitors with G5 Mac;  AND    How can the image in "Develop" be made to look like wh

    Two questions: How can I use my dual monitors on my G5 Mac?
    How can the image in "Develop" be made to look like what it will print, just as it is
    done in Photoshop with view>proof setup.

    Still wondering what tool is available in LR 1.1 to "view proof"
    As in Photoshop CS 3, and previous versions of PS, in view I can
    choose the custom .icc profile of the printer, to view what the final
    print will nearly perfectly appear like.
    What tool is available in LR 1.1 to do the same?
    Equipment: Mac OS 10.4.10; dual monitors; Epson Pro 9600 and SPR
    2400, both dedicated to matte black ink. Color working space is
    ProPhoto RGB. I stay in 16 bit.

    im going to buy a macbook pro 13" 1199$ Is Logic Pro Good On Him? And Other Apple Software
    Like iWeb, iMovie, And Staffs Like That?

    As a hobbyist dual core Macbook Pro 13-1nch will do fine.
    For professional work, you are better off with Macbook Pro 15-inch quad core i7..
    iWeb is no more available from Apple. You may  have to check Amzon for it.

  • How do I get my Macbook Pro 15" to run dual monitor setup with Dual Link DVI outputs

    I own have two 27" 2560x1440 WQHD LED IPS Computer monitors and have been trying to get them to work with my macbook pro 15" w retina for over a month now. I have purchased multiple products and nothing has worked. The big problem is that the only input that the monitors have is a Dual Link DVI input. The closest that i have gotten to getting them to work was this morning when I bought 2 Mini Display Port to Dual Link DVI Adapters for $99 a peice. Below is a link
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB571Z/A/mini-displayport-to-dual-link-dvi-ada pter?afid=p219%7CGOUS&cid=AOS-US-KWG-PLA
    Problem is that when I hook them up, I still only get a picture on one of the screens. Also, it requires you to plug into a mini Display port and USB port which takes up all of the space for me to run any othe peripherals. Though it has a built in USB port, when I plug my apple keybaord into it, I get an saying "USB Device Needs power, connect "keyboard Hub" to power or usb port on this mac"
    I have looked everywhere for a docking station that would satisfy my needs, however, it does not exist. I use my macbook as my main office computer and take it home with me every night. I switched from the lenovo thinkpad to the macbook and have been satsified with my decision except for the fact that i cannot connect my monitors to it.
    Please help!

    Yes, that would work, however it would cost me $2000 for the monitors.
