Dual Monitor Workspace Stopped Working

I used to have two Dell 19" monitors and the Workspace>Save Workspace worked in all CS3 applications.
I know have two Acer 22" monitors and the Save Workspace only works correctly in Photoshop.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

Where did you find instructions for using two monitors? Thanks.

Dual monitor suddenly stops working - flickering & vibrating

Using a mid 2010 15" macbook pro with a LG Flatron W2261VP monitor and dual displaying these two worked perfectly for the past year with a HDMI cable into the thunderport. However suddenly it stopped displaying correctly, the MBP would detect the display correctly but the monitor would remain blacked out. The only resolution that functions is 1080i but it vibrates and flickers intermediately so unable to use without getting a major headache.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this issue without buying new hardware?
Thanks in advance,
Alex

Hey Alex,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.

Creating dual monitor workspace

I found one ancient message from September with absolutely no responses, so let's try again.....
Bridge CS4. Dual monitors. HOW do I create and SAVE a workspace that takes advantage of both monitors? I want to put previews and some palettes on one monitor, and the rest on the other. But, I don't seem to be able to save the whole thing so it's the default setup.
How do I do this?

I don't believe you can. I do think the save workspaces feature is that
smart or goes that far. At least when I have tried creating a dual monitor
workspace and save it, it never comes up like a created it. I think what the
problem is that when you create that secondary window for the other monitor
it isn't just a window created by the main application but a second light
copy of Bridge loaded in to memory so when you close bridge that is lost.
This has been an issue since they added workspace capabilities to Bridge.
It certainly would be nice if this worked however.

HP Pavilion external monitor has stopped working with my Macbook Pro (Mid 2012) with OSX 10.8.3

HP Pavilion external monitor has stopped working with my Macbook Pro (Mid 2012) with OSX 10.8.3. When I purchased the monitor a few weeks ago it worked perfectly when computer was in clamshell mode or with lid open. Now external display has stopped working. When I turn on display it scans for signal but does not find it and then immediately goes into sleep mode. I am using a DVI connection with the adapter for the mini display plug. REALLY FRUSTRATING. Any help would be extremely appreciated.

Hi lancekatigbak,
If you're having issues with the display out on your MacBook Pro, you may want to take a look at the troubleshooting steps in the following article:

Dual monitor workspace

CS3. I'm using two monitors. I have saved a workspace in which all pallets appear on the main (left) monitor and the main ID window appears on the right. Lately ID doesn't seem to remember this configuration, everything opens on the left and I have to move the main window to the right. Given that ID used to remember this setup, what has gone wrong with it and how do I get it back to working the way it used to?

I've worked with dual monitors in CS3 without any problems.
I suspect your workspace has become corrupted. (Hanging round street corners. Smoking cigarette. Playing pool.)
Create a new workspace. That should stay around for a while.

T510 dual monitors no longer working properly

I have a T510 running Win7 64-bit. For at least 3 years, I have had the same dual monitor setup (2 DoubleSight DS-1900S) running off my minidock with the laptop closed. The rgith monitor is the primary, running off the DVI port, while the left uses the analog port. I was away for a week at Scout camp, powered on the system once while I was there, and when I came back to the office, my monitor setup started failing.
Specifically, the right screen is active but it no longer displays the signal being sent to it. When I powercycle the screen, I can see the display for about a quarter of a second, then it goes blank. When the problem first started, I could cycle it about 20 times and eventually it would stay on, until I left the unit overnight and it went to sleep, at which point the probelm started again.
Sounds like a wonky monitor? I have a backup set of monitors that I swapped in, and had the same exact problem, so that appears to rule out a mechanical defect. More fun facts: I can only use the laptop screen as a standalone display. I cannot get the multidisplay control panel to open, even though my left screen is powered up. However, one of my programs that normally launches to my right (main) screen will still launch, but not to my laptop screen. It really wants to live on my right screen, even when that screen is not powered on (I can close the program by accessing the icon bar at the bottom of my laptop screen).
As you might surmise, this is an extremely frustrating situation. I have gone on many trips with this laptop, and each time I returned, I either plugged it into the minidock with no issues, or I had to readjust my power settings briefly to get it to work as per usual. This time, I have no clue what went wrong. Suggestions?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have not changed any software or drivers (knowingly), and I had already checked the cables to make sure they were all tight, so off I went to ransack the house to dig out the spare cables. DVI cable? no change. Power cable? no change. Converter cable - OMG!!!! IT WORKS!!!!
Thank you SO much! I could have sworn this was a software issue, never considered a bad cable or power unit.
Both monitors are working properly, left-to-right scroll is working properly. Now all I need is to figure out how to get all my icons/shortcuts back onto the right screen...

Activity Monitor has stopped working

Hi,
My Activity Monitor has suddenly stopped working. Everytime I click on the icon in my dock or in Utilities nothing happens (icon in the dock bounces a couple of times then does nothing).
I find this program helpful but can't use it! Do I really have to reinstall Tiger again?
Many thanks

Hi there,
Many thanks. That worked a treat! I'm back in business.
Try opening the Activity Monitor again, and then open
the Console application in the
/Applications/Utilities folder and look for lines
relating to the Activity Monitor. If you see a
message that a tool was not setuid root, use the Disk
Utility in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to
repair your permissions. If you see another message,
post back with the text of that message.

Illustrator CS6 Workspace Stops Working within a day or 2

Hi,
I'm starting to get very aggravated with Illustrator CS6 (Mac) -- every day or 2, it stops working after opening 1 file. I clear the prefs, cache, etc. and it will work again for another day or 2.
It seems to be the Workspace I've created, but that's just a guess.
As of today, I won't create another workspace and see if that really is the issue -- everything was working well up until about a week ago and then nothing but problems -- and I have been using the same Workspace for at least a year.
Anyone else have any other suggestions?
Oh, and I've also re-installed Illustrator CS6, which didn't help.
Many thanks for any and all suggestions!

Thanks for replying, Scott.
1) File > Open = nothing happens. No file opens and no error message.
2) Dragging a fle to the AI icon = same as above.
3) Files are local.
4) I haven't tried booting into Safe Mode because that would mean I'd have to work in Safe Mode for days on end. This weird problem occurs either same day or, when using Essentials now, 5 days later. It would be impossible to get any work done in Safe Mode.
5) I'm logged in as admin and will certainly try logging out the next time it happens.
I really don't want to trash my prefs every day or clear the cache so frequently -- it will take me three times as long to work on any files as you can hopefully appreciate.
I also tried removing the internet connection which seemed to work as well, or it was a coincidence -- I am a fully registered customer and have been since Aldus! I'll have to try it again the next time. But again, doing this every time I need to work on files is going to get old very quickly.

Dual Monitors no longer working

Hey there, I've been without net for a few weeks so I haven't done a full system upgrade in about a month. I normally have two monitors running just great using TwinView but I've recently picked up a new monitor that I'm using to replace one of my older monitors in my setup. Using the same xorg.conf (didn't think much, aside from naming the device, needed to be changed) so I plugged it in and all that fun stuf,f got it set up right, and I'm able to view the monitor that isn't showing up when starting X during boot and while starting up. What's strange is that I've had a different, crappy, monitor plugged in and started x and it worked fine and while X was still running I plugged in my current "to be desired" monitor and it worked! Though when I restart X I can't use it anymore. I'm not sure where to start with this one, I'm a bit of a noob so hopefully someone can lend a hand.
This is my xorg.conf

- I've upgraded xorg (though a release hadn't happened) in an attempt to remedy ths
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated

I've never used twinview, but I would like to see this figured out. My guess is that maybe the LCD isn't reporting to the comp correctly? Maybe you should check dmesg for anything about either? I know some have DSDT issues, and plugging in the old monitor before means it's probably erroring out on something small and fixable when your have the new monitor in.
G'luck.

Dual monitors won't work independently

Using win 7 ATI Raedon 4200 card. My second monitor displays only the primary desktop back ground. Followed all setup correctly please help

Vnyga, thanks but that's not it. The geek squad said something about my monitor plug ins I told them my computer recognizes the dual setup but won't work independently. He said you can keep tweak it but he has 3 monitors an although they will learn his only remembers about 70% of the time. I'm going to try hooking it up toy TV as a monitor. I just want to use it for security cameras. I do have a DVR I could use but I normally just use that when I'm ghost hunting. I'm actually I union millwright and part time ghost hunter so I'm not to well versed in computers or the talkology but I'm learning. Anyway my laptop w win8 works just fine. But... I truly appreciate I taking the time to respond an at least offer a solution thanks so much an I apologize for running my mouth on an on. Take care V.

ID won't remember dual monitor workspace

ID CS3. I have a two monitor setup, with my application window on the right (secondary) monitor and all my palettes and toolbars on the left monitor. I've saved this workspace and ID has always opened up like this. But recently I installed a new plug-in from Rorohiko and ID won't remember the preferred workspace (it wants to open everything in the primary monitor). I've tried deleting the workspace and naming a new one, but that doesn't work. I don't want to remove the plug-in and I doubt if that would change anything. Any ideas on getting ID to behave?

Why not try removing the plug-in? If the problem goes away after that, you'll know that's the solution to your problem. If it doesn't, you can re-install the plug-in.

Dodge and burn workspace stopped working abruptly

hi--I've been processing 100 or so architectural photos and dodge and burn just stopped loading the workspace window. I'd done 7 or 8, then...nothing. I get a message saying it's preparing, then loading, then NOTHING. Ideas??

make sure you have a layer highlighted in the layers pallet that can be dodged/burned (they may not work on some type of layers, modes)
or try reset the tool:

MacPro1,1 Geforce 7300 - Dual Monitor won't work

Hi there,
I just bought a MacPro1,1 with 2xDual Xeon 2,66 GHz processors. It comes with the standard setup of HD, Memory and the Geforce 7300 GT graphic card. The Graphic card has two DVI-plugs (DVI-D & DVI-S). So far, so good.
But when I attach two monitors to the DVI-plugs the second monitor gets no signal. If I then attach the second one with a VGA cable and a DVI-to-VGA switch it works (but with a bad quality/resolution).
How can I connect both monitors to the 7300 GT using DVI? Is the card broken or do I have to get bigger graphic card?

I'm running 2 DVI monitors off a 7300 GT in a Mac Pro, so it does work in theory.
Some ideas:
Have you tried switching cables?
Have you tried one monitor at a time to each of the DVI ports?
If one DVI port never works with DVI, it's probably a bad card.
Also, I've found that VGA signals are not quite as good as DVI, but if you are really getting poor image quality with VGA, then there is a problem with the card, the monitor, or the cable.

IMac monitor has stopped working

On boot up/bringing the system out of sleep the monitor flashes for a second, if it's coming out of sleep I can see the desktop/any windows currently open before it dies.
Currently I'm using an external monitor which works fine however it's still annoying to have a dead monitor.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
