Dual Screen (iBook and TV)

Previously i have used my TV as a exteneded desktop for my iBook, however the ARANGEMENT tab has disapeared since my last update, so i can only mirror the displays.
Has Anyone had thee same issue or know how to resolve it?

If you have ever used the iBook to achieve an extended desktop, you had to have been using some sort of third-party hack which is not supported nor recommended by Apple. No iBook supports an extended desktop via Apple software. The capability is reserved for the PowerBook (and, now, the MacBook Pro). Evidently, the most recent update has broken your third-party software, and it is not compatible with the latest version of the OS.

  • Dual screen-annotate and watch videos at the same time?

    Does anyone know a way to annotate pdfs while watching a video lecture at the same time?  I have tried notability and side by side but both lack the capabilities to do both.  Thanks

    Uninstalled everything PA, also uninstalled mangler which was the only thing that depended on PA. It didn't work anyway.
    No pulseaudio --kill command so I couldn't run.
    Checked systemd journal and there is no mention of PA this time.
    Checked top, and grepped ps aux and there is no PA there either.
    I also rebooted the machine completely just to make sure. However VLC and HTML5 have the same incompatibilities.

    I see. That's too bad. At least we're not alone.

  • Using Apple TV/Airplay for a full screen movie and opening new window on laptop

    When I have a full screen movie playing on my TV in AirPlay dual screen mode, and I open a new Safari window or my Mail, the window appears seemingly by default on top of the movie rather than coming up on my laptop monitor.  Is there a spot I can reset the default for new Safari windows and Mail windows to my laptop monitor, so they don't interrupt the movie on my TV?
    Background: my girls love Downton Abbey and Call the Midwife which I find terribly boring, and need to find something to do while the movies are playing rather than fall asleep! And you know what happens if Safari shows up over top of their beloved Downton! 

    it being mirror and many tv's being widescreen 16:9 and the screen of ios device not being widescreen this happen
    most tv's support having top and button chopped or streghed to fill the tv this is something one does with the tv's remote

  • Maximising 2 programs using dual screen on mac mini.

    I am using a mac mini with 2 screens and am trying to use it like my pc. I want to maximise a program on one screen and keep the second screen free to do the same. This works well on pc but not with my mini?
    When I mazimise one program it creates a grey image on my second screen, making it useless for anything else.
    Is it possible to maximise 2 programs (one on each screen) as is easily done on a pc?
    How does this work?
    Thank you.

    It depends on the App's and setup that you are using..?
    Have a look at > Using Dual Displays on Mac OS X: The Experience
    or something at > Dual Monitor Setup with Apple Mac Mini-YouTube
    It's hard to fully explain, but from what I'm seeing not all App's allow full screen mode without interfering with the dual screen setup and you might have to run most App's in maximum window size instead.

  • I have a dual-screen setup - Workspace Layout Panels - not functioning properly.

    I have a dual-screen setup and since updating to 10.10.2, the panels open on the main screen - and not in the positions as they were saved in a Workspace layout.
    Tried trashing the prefs - which works, but when I save a new Workspace layout, it does the exact same thing.
    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi Christopher,
    This is a known issue and the product team is working with Apple to address it. Stay tuned.

  • Dual-Screen Sessions with Oracle Desktop Client

    Dear All,
    I have read that the new version of the SRSS and SRWC support dual-screen separation with Windows 2008 R2 sessions, i.e. Windows sessions are able to determine that they are running on a dual-screen device and allow separation as you'd expect on a fat client. Does anyone know if this functionality is available via the Sun Ray software client or if I'll have to invest in Sun Ray 3 Plus devices? Has anyone actually got this working at all?
    Many thanks.
    Chris

    OK. I've applied patch -05 to the SRSS (which is odd because I thought I'd downloaded 5.1.1) which installed without complaint and have upgraded my copy of the Mac OVDC to 2.1.9.
    I've run the command (see previous post) and now I can't seem to connect to the SRSS with or without a card - it's not even connecting to the server to get a pseudo session.
    What version of the SRSS patching comes with the 5.1.2 download? It's very confusing with the version numbers not correlating. 5.1.1 seems to come with patch -06 but it refuses to install...
    Many thanks.

  • Dual screen with MacBook and iBook possible?

    Hi,
    I was wondering if it was possible to have the MacBook and a iBook G4 hooked up dual screen?
    If so what are the things I need to make it happen?
    I am doing photo editing and just got a MacBook and I need the extra screen space and I have my old iBook laying around my house and thought I could use it for extra screen space.
    Thanks for the help,
    Sam

    Unfortunately you can't, and there really isn't anyway to do it. You would be best of buying a cheap LCD monitor.

  • I'd like to see next generation of Touchsmart PC with Touchsmart keyboard and dual screen

    Where you have a monitor as the display and a seperate keyboard, but the keyboard is another monitor which operates as a keyboard, for example something like this... 
    This ultimately would mean that the keyboard could be application driven, that is it could be specifically configured anyway that the application requires it.  I'd also like to see a dual screen option for touchsmart PC - a screen that is built in and can be slid out from the rear of the monitor to act as dual screen, extended screen...

  • Using Keynote with Podcast Capture and Dual Screens

    Hi everyone,
    We are trying to use a dual screen setup to record some Keynote presentations using Podcast Capture (i.e Dual mode, with the Keynote presentation in one screen and the presenter in the other).
    The problem we are having is that when in full screen mode, Keynote takes control of both displays, thus stopping the Podcast application from being displayed. Even if we switch off the Presenter Display on the second screen, the second screen turns black.
    I know we can start and stop recording with hotkeys, but we would prefer to be able to see the Capture app in one window with the presentation full screen in the other.
    Perhaps this is just an oversight on Apple's part, but I'm finding it hard to believe its not possible. If anyone else has a workaround then please share.
    Thanks.

    Other applications are not visible when Keynote is playing back.  Keynote takes over control of the graphics system when playing back presentations to enable Keynote to display properly.
    When I play back Keynote and I want to look at a second application, I use a second Mac.

  • WINE and my Dual-screens

    I have looked around, quite a bit, haven't found a answer that i've been really looking for...
    I'm a big gamer, and I run two 17" flatpanel monitors at 1280x1024 on a NVIDIA GeForce GTS250.
    When I run apps in WINE, it tries pushing each app out in 2560x1024, such as World of Warcraft... now, for WoW, it doesn't bother me. because my UI scales to 1280x1024 for some reason anyway.
    As for games, like PoRTaL and Left4Dead.... it's trying to squeeze 2560x1024 into one monitor, making them pretty much unable to play..
    I have tried emulating the app in a virtual environment, at 1280x1024... and I really don't wanna disable my other monitor every time.... Because I use them for Cheats, or a guide, whatever I tend to use it for...
    Is there a way to push these apps into 1280x1024 instead of my dual-screen resolution?
    It's one of the main issues for me keeping Winblows 7 on my computer... pretty sure once I figure this out, i can get rid of it.
    Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, probably wasn't searching the right terms and what not.

    Perhaps, if you are interested, you could setup a new xorg.conf which has separate X sessions for each window (rather than TwinView), such that you could open up what you want on one window, then play your game on the other.  Even if that is beyond what you want, you could check out ways to dynamically turn off screens:
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=81310
    For a while there I would launch games via scripts, which called xrandr first to turn off my second screen, but these days I launch everything with xinit to avoid turning off/on compiz for max performance.
    I'm interested to see what you decide on, post back here
    I have thought about both options, and I'm not sure if I wanna do either of them,
    I mean, I want WINE apps to go into 1280x1024 which makes sense that I won't be able to unless I disable a monitor or run two separate X sessions, which I'll probably set it up to run two separate X sessions.
    Still doing some research and making my decision.

  • Xfce4 and dual screen issues

    I have setup dual screen in xfce4, i have added
    xrandr --output VGA --left-of LVDS
    to xfce4 startup apps. But the issue is that both screen defaults to 1024x768 and if it change the resolution to the correct one my laptop screen turn black. This is some what the similar kind i issue i face in kdemod4 but gnome work ok with with the above command.

    What video card?

  • Microsoft Word consistently becomes active window when clicking between dual screens and programs

    13" MBP
    2.3 ghz i5
    8GB Ram
    Running 10.9.2
    Microsoft Word 2011
    Dual screens with amazon Mini Display to VGA adapter
    When I am running word between an external monitor and my MBP, Microsoft word always interrupts any clicks between programs and between screens to become the active window. This is especially annoying when I am trying to navigate between MacMail and Chrome, or any other programs.
    The problem doesn't exist when I click between programs on the MBP, but only when I select windows between the two screens. Or programs on the external monitor.
    Word is up to date, as is my MBP.
    Please don't punt me to Microsoft, they're the worst!
    Thanks!

    There is a workaround for this problem, which was posted by Highestwater on the Microsoft Community thread for this bug and worked for me as well:
    Go to
    System Preferences > Mission Control >
    and UN-check the box labeled "Displays have separate Spaces" (see image below)
    The original poster on this thread may already be aware of this workaround, because he/she mentioned that the "separate Spaces" option is checked. But if you can live without the extra Mavericks dual display features (like going full screen in 1 display only, switching spaces independently on each display, and having a menu bar on each display), then uncheck this option and the "stealing focus" bug seems to disappear. For me the bug is so annoying that it's worth it to lose the extra features. Just yesterday I closed a Word document I was working on by mistake because I clicked on a Finder window on my other display and immediately pressed command-w to close it, without realizing that the focus had switched to my word document which closed instead. It was saved, but this sort of stuff interrupted my work enough to be both an annoyance and a time drain.

  • [dwm] fibonacci patch doesn't work and DWM dual screen.

    How does dwm handle dual screen?
    (I am now an Awesome user, and i am thinking installing dwm. I love the spiral/dwindle layout in Awesome and I am trying to install the fibonacci patch in dwm(link). But i think it's failing. When i do makepkg, this is the last output before the error. Does anyone have any ideas?)

    Dwm has minimal support for dual screens.   AFAIK they are still working on the best way to support it.  If you must have dual screens the way awesome handles them, I'd suggest you use awesome for the time being.
    For the record I am a dwm user, but I'm using 4.7 because the code got cluttered when they started adding dual screen support.  Once it is implemented in a sensible way I'll upgrade.

    You had to go back in and reset anything you customized afterwards, however it does not allow the store to load.  Thanks!
