Dvi splitter cable will extend the screen?

Hi everyone, I have a MBP 8Gb RAM. I would like to go dual monitor and extend my desktop.
My Mac has a single video out port, specifically a Mini DisplayPort.
Using a dvi splitter cable will just give me the ability to extend it? Actually I'm on a single monitor and I'm keeping my mac shut on a BookArc stand.
If not, what should I use?
Thank you in advance.

If a DVI splitter works at all, it will only give you two external monitors that display exactly the same image, rather than an extended desktop.
The cheapest way to add a second monitor to your machine for extended-desktop use will be a USB video adapter like this:

Note that it is limited to a maximum of 2048 x 1152 resolution, and it won't be responsive enough (because of the slow USB connection) to use for action gaming, animation, etc. Use your other monitor for work that requires a highly responsive screen.

I would like to extend the screen from my circa 2013 27in iMAC with thunderbolt onto my circa late 2006 imac using the DVI port on that iMAC. Is this possible? If not is there another approach I can use?

I would like to extend the screen from my circa 2013 27in iMAC with thunderbolt onto my circa late 2006 imac using the DVI port on that iMAC. Is this possible? If not is there another approach I can use? My 2006 iMAC is showing it's age but I figure I can use it as just a monitor just fine. Assuming I can connect the two together.

That older iMac isn't designed to receive video input through the mini-DVI connection. Only certain newer iMacs are able to be used as displays.
Your only options are to use something like ScreenRecycler mentioned above.

My Late 2009 Model 10,1 running 10.8.5 frequently acts as though I have pushed the F11 button, but I haven't. The cables are not loose. Gently touching the mouse will get the screen back, but often it immediately goes to the F11 mode.

I called Apple. The problem was caused by settings in Mission Control. After changing all 4 of the Hot Keys (if that's the proper term) shown in the bottom half of the Mission Control window in System Preferences to "-" by clicking on the drop down menus, the problem went away. Apple's help was excellent!

DVI splitter cable on 2 monitor setup

I set up my G5 with 2 monitors utilizing both ports on the graphics card. I want to add a Wacom Cintiq tablet which has a video display and am wondering if I can split the second port with a DVI splitter cable so I can have display on monitor 2 and the Cintiq.
1. Will it work?
2. Will it draw too much from the display adapter, thus causing it to fry?
3. Has anyone done this set up themselves?
TIA for the info!

Hi-
Two monitors are working the 9600 pretty hard.
Realizing that you probably want to get by on the cheap, I can't recommend a simple DVI splitter.
I don't think you will get satisfactory results.
Another issue is, with any type of device that uses a single port for multiple displays, is that the two connected monitors need to support the same resolution.
A DVI amplifier would provide the additional power and signal boost needed to run additional monitors.

Why my iPhone will touch the screen automatically, sometimes?

I've got an iPhone 5s, I found it sometimes will touch the screen automatically while I didn't do anything. The first time I find his problem is in Ninja Rooftops, I noticed that it jumped lots of times by itself. And then I find this problem not just in the game, it's everywhere...
Can I get my iPhone changed? It really bugs me!!!

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
If no joy...
1) Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and Restore

my macbook screen is damaged..how much will be the cost if i will change the screen..thanks

I have a 2007 17" MBP and the screen looks as thou it is delaminating and I can only see every other vertical lines, about a week ago it started having red or blue hue to the display. I found a replacement screen on eBay for 85.00 but the level of difficulty scared me off, The screen with the clam shell from apple 500.00+ an I still have to put it in and the level of difficulty was lower but still to high. The apple store offered a service, they would have my MBP for a week to 10 days and would send it out to have the screen replaced at a cost of just over 300.00, I do not have to do the work. I feel 300.00 to replace the display on a MBP that cost me over 2500.00 is worth the investment.

the touch on my itouch wont work, will i have to replace the whole screen? i hope not. is it waterdamage? i donot recall getting it wet?!? whats wrong with my ipod!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Allycat11,
Here is a great article for troubleshooting the multi touch display software issues.
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Troubleshooting touchscreen response
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1827
Symptoms
Use this article to troubleshoot the following iPhone, iPad, iPod touch Multi-Touch display (or touchscreen) response issues:
Multi-Touch display (or touchscreen) does not respond
Portions of the Multi-Touch display do not respond
Multi-Touch display is very slow to respond
Multi-Touch response is erratic
Resolution
If your device is experiencing any of the symptoms listed above, try the following steps:
Restart your device
Hold the On/Off button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the On/Off button to turn it back on.
If you can't restart your device, reset it by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for a least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Clean the screen with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
Avoid using the device while wearing gloves, with wet hands, or immediately after applying hand lotion.
If you have a protective case, or if you are using a plastic sheet or film on the display, try removing them and testing the device without it.
If the steps above don't resolve your issue, please schedule a service appointment with an Apple Retail Store for evaluation. If an Apple Retail store is not an option, contact Apple to find out your best service option or see theService FAQ for your product.
Additional Information
Tip: To isolate an issue related to a portion of the Multi-Touch display, follow these steps:
Open the Maps application and double-tap each corner, then the center, to verify that it zooms in to each section.
If a specific area is affected in another application, note the location and try to verify touch functionality for that location in the Maps application.
On iPhone and iPod touch, you can also use Calculator:
Open the calculator app to test all but the top row of the screen. Press each button on the calculator and verify activity.
To test the area at the top of the screen, rotate the device to change to the scientific calculator and press the buttons in the left or right two rows.
When speaking with a Mac Genius or Service Provider, you can use this information to assist with evaluation of your issue.
All the best,
Sterling

I cracked my iPod touch screen and I want to know if Apple will fix the screen or just swap my ipod for a different one?

I cracked my iPod screen today, and I want to get it fixed, but I don't know if the Apple store will do it for free. I've only had it for 6 months and I'm worried that it's going to cost me more money to fix it then if I got a new iPod. It's an iPod touch 4th generation 16GB. If anyone knows the approximate price to fix it, i'd appreciate it!

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99. They do not fix yours.

Any way to extend the screen timeout?

HT3180 When doing the latest update yesterday 09 March, it diid not complete and I cannot retsrat or get the menue or anything. Only a cable shows on the screen to be connecyed to iTunes, but how ?

Anyone who can advice ?

Hello Karsten,
Your Apple Tv is in Recovery Mode now and you will need a Micro Usb to Usb Cable to connect your Apple Tv with your Computer and then Restore it using iTunes. If you have an Android smart phone then you can use the cable which you use to charge your phone or connect it to computer or you will have to purchase a Micro Usb to Usb cable and then connect your Apple Tv with your Computer. Make sure you have updated version of iTunes (11.1.5) installed on your computer and then using iTunes Restore your Apple Tv to Factory settings and after it is Restored connect your Apple Tv to your Television and Configure it to use. Also go through the below link for more details.
