Extended desktop audio

I am using Apply TV to extend my iMac desktop. Is it possible to do this WITHOUT sending my computer audio over to Apple TV?

You should be able to change the volume back to your computer by going to system preferences, sound, output and selecting your computer speakers.  I'm actually have the opposite problem.  My video goes to my TV but the volume stays on my laptop and I don't want that for watching movies.  It works fine when using ipad or iphone but not with my macbook air...

  • MacBook Extended Desktop Issue (ViewSonic vx2235)

    MacBook as far as i know only supports mini-DVI to "_" adapters. I'm using the midi-DVI to DVI adapter. i find myself clicking detect display multiple times before the mac initialize the external monitor. ...and when it does it sometimes doesn't recognize the name of the monitor and labels it display, or it starts up at a 90 degree angle. could it be a driver issue thats causes this?
    In addition, I use some audio editing software in windows. It shows that the computer supports extended desktop, but no action is on the monitor. Could it just be a hardware problem?

    Go to System Preferences -> Displays -> Arrangement
    and check/adjust the positions.

  • Two w2408h monitors,extended desktop..2nd not recognized at cold start?

    Hi All:
    HPe9180f with Vista 64 bit Home Premium.
    I have two HP w2408h monitors, purchased and installed on the above computer,when new.  I have tried Tech Support who have certainly tried to take "ownership" of my issue, but with no solution, I have given up.
    My issue is that I can work correctly with both monitors, extended desktop mode, if I never shut off my computer....if I do, the second monitor will not turn on during a cold start.  My workaround, discovered by accident, is to log on in a non-admin user, wait until all programs, etc are loaded and then Restart....my second monitor then activates.  Does anybody know what to do to do to make Windows/ Bios recognize that I have two monitors permanently in use at all times, especially at startup? 

    GC, I would search for an updated driver for you video card/chip.  This sounds like it may be a driver problem.  Video and Audio problems are very difficult to diagnose from afar.  So, I always begin with the most obvious solutions.  Just call me "Mr. Obvious".

  • I was wondering if you could have one desktop audio playing through your speakers and the other one playing through your apple tv at the same time?

    Problem here is you admit you cannot afford the service.
    And you want to blame Verizon for losing a job because you have no cell phone.
    If your job depends on that phone I would pay it on time every time if you need a job to pay your bill.
    No other service is going to treat you any different. And if you cannot afford Verizon's monthly invoice how are you going to afford new devices, activation fees, possible security deposits on any other cellular carrier? You can't.
    Also if you made an arraignment to pay and then decide you cannot do so, why should Verizon extend you service or credit, or why is it you want to use the service and data and not pay for it as agreed.
    Get a prepay phone. Its evident the cost is too high for you to afford on post pay.
    Good Luck

  • Tablet PC calibration error in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator CS3 whilst in Extended Desktop Mode

    Hey everyone!
    I've run into a snag which hasn't bugged me before because I never used a second monitor, but now that I do, Photoshop and Illustrator don't function properly.
    I am running my Adobe products on my Lenovo X61 Thinkpad Tablet, which is Wacom PenEnabled. It's got the basic digitizer pen and pen pressure features, no stylus tilt or anything.
    Whenever I run Photoshop or Illustrator in Extended Desktop Mode so I can have a different window open on my external monitor and the Adobe app on my tablet screen, my stylus goes strange. It seems to think that the extended desktop is part of the Adobe window, so when I move my stylus to draw, the cursor will appear on the external monitor, usually proportionate to the size of the screen...ie. It interprets the external and tablet screens as one desktop and the top left corner of my tablet screen is the top left of my external, whilst the bottom right on tablet IS the bottom right on tablet, if that makes any sense...sorry.
    So I can't draw anything in photosho unless I set it back to standard desktop mode, or mirrored desktop. I've searched over the net and these forums and I can't find a fix for this. I was walking in harvey norman the other day and the Wacom Cintiq 12" was there on display, and it had the same issue with extended desktop and photoshop.
    Has anyone had this issue before and/or does anyone know of a fix for it? I'll keep searching around and playing with the computer until I fix it and I'll post any solutions I find here if noone else has one.
    My system details are:
    Abobe Photoshop CS3 10.0.0
    Adobe Illustrator CS3 13.0.0
    OS: Windows Vista Build 6001, Service Pack 1, 32bit
    RAM: 2GB
    HD: 18.2GB free Disk Space (out of 66.3GB on the Active Partition)
    Video: Intel GMA: Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family

    I'm using an HP tx2011au tablet pc, using adobe flash cs3 and have the exact same problem. it becomes decalibrated only while the flash window is open, and only while flash has a file open, and only when using an extended desktop. even if flash is open and it has no files open it works fine.

  • I cannot get my iMac to connect to my macbook via Thunderbolt to use my laptop as an extended desktop

    I am trying to connect my iMac 21.5" desktop to my macbook pro via Thunderbolt cable so that I can use my laptop as an extended desktop. I have tried using detect displays to get it to show up and nothing happens. I've tried doing command + F2 to make it a targeted display, but the only thing I can get to happen is my iMac will mirror my Macbook and that's not what I want. No matter what I have tried it hasn't worked. I have tried turning both computers off and I have a brand new thunderbolt cable. I've updated all the software. Is there anything else I'm missing??
    I'm running OSX Yosemite 10.10.1
    Thank you !

    We've already done all of that. And we used the same thunderbolt cable to connect two iMac's and that worked totally fine doing the Command+ F2. I don't understand why we can't get the macbook to do the same.

  • How can i use my old iMac as a extended desktop display for my new iMac?

    I recently purchased a 21.5 in iMac and wanted to use my old iMac as a extended desktop. My new iMac has thunderbolt and USB 3.0 connections while my old iMac has firewire (400 and 800), USB 2.0 and mini-DVI. Is this posible?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If your iMac has got Mini-DVI, you have a 17, 20 or 24-inch iMac that doesn't support Target Display. Late 2009 and Mid 2010 27-inch iMacs, and iMacs with Thunderbolt can be used as external displays. Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    If your old iMac doesn't support Target Display mode, you can use ScreenRecycler to use your old iMac as an extended display for the new iMac. The only thing you need is that both Macs are connected to the same network

  • HT5019 If my second display is not showing up on the graphics display window, yet the second display is showing a mirror image, how can I get it to recognize the second display and allow me to setup extended desktop?

    I'm running 10.9.2 on a Power Mac from 2013.  I am using two identical HP monitors.  I have a Y adapter to connect the monitors.  Which I'm guessing means the computer is only seeing one display since there is only one display output. 

    There are no PowerMacs from 2013.   The desktop tower from 2006 on got named Mac Pro.    The problem is probably the Y adapter.    You need a videocard with two display ports, or two videocards to be able to make an extended desktop from one to the other.  If you gave us the Y adapter make and model, we could tell if it supports screen spanning or not.

  • Using a second computer (an iMac) as an extended desktop monitor

    Hello
    I have a powerbook g4 and would really like to use a separate older iMac as an extended desktop. Is there a way to turn the iMac into just a monitor recognized by my powerbook?

    Does ScreenRecycler do what you want?

  • Macbook Pro Retina: can anyone help me with running 2 extended desktop DVIs?

    I know I need 2 thunderbolt to DVI adapters for this. In the UK these are £25 each, but the MiniDisplayPort to DVI adapters which look the same are very much cheaper .....
    http://www.amazon.com/DisplayPort-Female-Adapter-Macbook-Laptop/dp/B003BHHIA4/re f=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1359830910&sr=1-1&keywords=minidisplayport+to +DVI
    They look the same as thunderbolt to DVIs but is there a difference? Anybody know if the thunderbolt to DVI is an ACTIVE adapter, which means the cheaper versions won't work?
    Secondly, I've read scary stuff here from people who think their thunderbolt to DVI fried their monitors. Is there any evidence which supports this?
    Does anyone out there use two extended desktop DVIs on a daily basis with a Pro Retina? Any tips or things I should know?

    I suggest you buy the Apple TB/MDP to DVI adapters as I have tried another brand and it dod not work. That was on a late 15" 2011 model, YMMV.
    Second I have never heard of a Apple TB/MDP to DVI adapter ever frying a monitor of any make or model.
    Please post references to this claim.
    May be possible with a poorly desinged adapter with some of the TB power output being cross linked to one of the DVI pins/connectors. But still doubtful.

    Are you using splitter maybe?

  • Is it possible to assign an extended desktop to be an external desktop for a window's machine?

    I have an iMac with Lion and a Windows Vists Laptop and corresponding external monitor on my desk. I'd ideally like to use my iMac as an external monitor for the Window's machine and essentially remove the physical one from my desk.  Make sense?
    I already have 4 extended desktops created on my iMac and I'm HOPING that I could assign Desktop 4 (example) as the external monitor to be controlled by the Vista machine. I'd like to be able to flip between my Mac OS and the "extrernal monitor'' via the 2-finger-swipe gesture. Anyone have any ideas?
    NOTE: I also have Paralles installed with Windows 7 running on my iMac, but I specifically need the Vista machine to have the external monitor, so please do not suggest this solution.

    Thank you!  While reading these directions, I realized that I have the wrong connector.  I have the old Mac Monitor serial port to VGA instead of the MiniDisplay port to VGA needed (didn't even think about this computer not having that port available).  I just bought the correct one from Apple, so I'll attempt these instructions as soon as it arrives.
    To confirm: I'll be able to run the iMac as the external display and have Lion open simultaneously, right? (Obviously not both on the screen simultaneously, but the ability to "switch" views) Based on the article, the trick is turning the Target Display on/off with the Command + F2 buttons (as opposed to assigning an extended desktop and using gestures), correct?
    Again, thank you for your help!

  • Dual Display, 2 Monitors - Extended Desktop

    Hello Everyone:
    There isn't a clear cut answer or solution in connected a Macbook Air to 2 external monitors in an attempt to create an extended desktop. I have read older posts that it's either doable or not doable. My questions are the following:
    -Is it possible to connect a new Macbook Air to 2 external monitors for extended desktop purposes?
    -Some users have reported lag issues (mouse dragging , delays, etc.). Will this happen for sure with a Macbook Air or is it a monitor issue?
    -What's the best non-Apple monitor brand that would work best with a Macbook Air for dual display purposes? I've read that Dells have a problem in this regard.
    -What would be the advantage or disadvantage of using a dock station in setting up a dual display environment? Would this add to the lag, latency factor?
    I'm thinking of investing in a new Macbook Air, but I want to make sure I dont end up with silly issues - such as latency, monitors, etc.
    Thank you for all your help and advise.
    Best,
    G.

    Yes, extended desktop works with monitors set to differant resoultions. the Monitors pref pane allows you to select relative arrangements and rez of all monitors composing the extended desktop.
    personally I run a dell CRT at 2304 X 1728 @ 60Hz along with an NEC 6FG a 2048 X 1280 @ 60Hz off a radeon 9800pro on an MDD.
