Extended Display : Clarification needed

My Radeon 9000 should allow me with my G4/X10.3.9 system, to accept another LCD monitor. What I would like to know, is what am I expected to see in System Preferences < Displays. Or in System Profiler. Hope it is not a silly question.

Hi, josephpap -
These are for OSX 10.3, but should also apply to OSX 10.4 -

I need to connect my Imac 27'' (newest version) up to 3/4 monitors (all 40'' LCD tv's with VGA and HDMI connections) with extended display to all external screens, not duplicate images. Is this possible?

i need to connect my Imac 27'' (newest version) up to 3/4 monitors (all 40'' LCD tv's with VGA and HDMI connections) with extended display to all external screens, not duplicate images. Is this possible?

I would suggest you visit an Apple dealer, preferably an Apple Store if there's one in your city, and ask for assistance in determining what you need. The questions and issues you bring up are rather complex to address in a technical support forum and would be better addressed in person where you and the salesperson can ask questions back and forth to arrive at the optimal setup.

How do I Get Extended display with another monitor?

I connected my iMac to another LCD Display, and i'd like to get both monitors to be extended displays instead of mirror displays. Basically Both monitors are showing the same image, but i would like to have both monitors be extended and not share the same screen, for the main reason of working with Logic Music, and i need more visual space to work with.
My question... How can i do that?
I went to the help, and the help menu said..
1.)Open System Preferences and click Displays.
2.)Click Arrangement and follow the onscreen instructions.
But i don't see Arrangement on my displays window.

Hi,
GOT IT !
Hope this helps someone in future....
The Popup Key LOV (Displays description, returns key value), and probably other Popups, automatically create a hidden field for the return value.
My field was P7_CONTACT so htmldb creates a hidden item P7_CONTACT_HIDDENVALUE
P7_CONTACT.value equals the display text.
P7_CONTACT_HIDDENVALUE.value equals the ID value.
So, I can access the returned Display name by:
html_GetElement('P7_CONTACT').value
Done deal...
Thanks, Bill :>)

X61 Extended Display - reconnect issue - Ctrl+F7 is NOT available when I reconnect to monitor

I use an X61 running XP SP2.
When I am at my desk, I connect the laptop to my 24" monitor via VGA cable.
Via Ctrl+F7, I can modify my display settings and receive options such as:
- Notebook only
- Same display
- Extended display
All of these work fine. However, just recently, after I disconnect (either using Ctrl+F7 or simply unplugging the VGA connector - both end up with the same result) and later try to re-connect, when I press Ctrl+F7, no menu option appears.
When I go to Control Panel | Display, I can 'see' the monitor is connected and I can 'extend' display to the desktop monitor BUT cannot set-up 'same display' from here.
The only option that works is to restart the system and then Ctrl+F7 works fine again.
I do not believe that I have made any changes to the system that would warrant this change (however, there may have been a recent automatic MS XP update that was loaded).
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to handle this? Do I need to update anything related to the system?

Win 7 can't shut down, it reboot PC right after it has shut down!
I've tried the following before and it worked for once only ...
Step 1:
Try this: Press (Windows Key) + R (keyboard key) ... the Windows key is between the Ctrl and Alt key. SO press Windows (Start) key + R key to bring up the "RUN" menu.
Step 2:
In the "RUN" menu, type in "regedit", then press the Enter key
Step 3:
In the regedit, find and search by this keyword: "PowerdownAfterShutdown" ... it should be located in:
Location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
But once I've tried to manually browse to the above location and couldn't find any "Winlogon" in it, not until I used the find and search feature!
Step 4:
Double Click on "PowerdownAfterShutdown" to bring up it's entry menu.
Then,
Change it to "0" if it is "1" OR
Change it to "1" if it is "0".
I found it's "0" before I changed it to 1.
And hit the Enter key.
Step 5:
Then restart the computer. Once it has reboot the PC to Windows' desktop, shut it down again. It should be able to shut down properly now and then ... NEVER!
Here's how to "NUT" down:
Look for "ShutdownWithoutLogon" in the regedit, set it to "1"
also set "PowerdownAfterShutdown" to "1" as well.
Each time you want to shut down PC, you need to log off first. Then at the log in/off screen, to the bottom right corner there is a SHUT DOWN button, mouse click it to shut down PC! That works for hell !
DEATH COMES SLOW !!!

Updates keep switching from duplicate to extend display

I'm getting a little tired of this. I keep a lot of desktop shortcuts and I keep them arranged in a specific order. Only, every time Microsoft sends me automatic updates it switches me fro "duplicate" displays to "extend" displays. Which
leads to all my shortcuts being stacked up on one side, and 45 minutes of putting everything back where it belongs.
Thanks to the Blue Ray player, I can't just unplug the DVI cable, and I primarily use VGA so that I don't have to switch everything around when I want to use one of my other computers that don't have DVI options. And, YES, I logged in as "Administrator"
and changed things there.
So, either stop changing my settings every time you force me to update, or fix the stupid software that can no longer output Blue Ray video through the VGA signal. Don't even "try" to lie to me and say it's impossible, there was no problem
doing it back when my card didn't have a DVI output.
As it stands, you force me to get a DVI capable because, now that my video card has a DVI output, it is suddenly impossible to output Blue-Ray video over VGA. Then, even though both cables go to the same monitor, Windows 7 "insists"
that the 1366x768 DVI monitor is actually a different resolution than the 1366x768 VGA monitor. Then when I force it to duplicate the display (so I don't have to switch my monitor back and forth just to operate normally,) it decides that I must be mistaken
every time it updates.
f

So far it's happened after every update that requires a restart. If I restart my computer without an update, it doesn't happen. If I have an update that doesn't need to restart my computer, then I later restart my computer manually, it doesn't
happen.
The drivers for my display haven't been updated since I installed them. Just went through the update history to make sure. Checked all that were installed on 11/11/2014 (the last time this happened,) and scanned through all the rest - though
I don't remember which specific ones required a restart or not. Didn't see anything ATI (well AMD now,) in the list. Didn't see anything HP (for the LCD monitor,) either. Those usually appear under "optional" updates which don't
install automatically anyways.

Extended display does not work after downgrading to XP

Hi
I have downgraded from VISTA to XP
Before the downgrade extended display (19 LCD connected via docking) it was working OK
after the upgrade, it stopped working
I installed the latest video drivers from the LENOVO website, and tried playing with the FN+F7 but no luck.
It seems that there is some communication with the screen, as the screen looks as if it is working, but the entire screen is black!
when i look in the screen properties, it seems as if the extended screen is working, but again the screen is black.
any ideas?
thanks

HT5019 How do I get extended display mode on two monitors off a MB?

I've tried to find answers on other threads but no luck. Is it possible to connect two monitors to a 2008 unibody MB (mavericks) to use extended display? I've never had a problem with using one monitor (mini dvi to vga) as an extended display and now I'd like to add a second monitor via a vga splitter. I thought upgrading to mavericks would solve this but no luck. It's only letting me mirror displays. The "arrangement" option in display prefs not available. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I never for one second thought this would be so complicated.

Exactly what Bob Levine said. Can confirm, running a two monitor display here.

How to create a 'parallel' extended display through Apple TV Airplay

Dear all,
I'm a relatively new Mac user and have not been able to find an answer to my question by looking up key words in Google or here, so apologies if this has been answered before.
Basically, I would like to know how I can project a video file or a film/TV series I am watching (for example, a video playing in VLC or a film streaming from my subscription to Amazon Prime Instant Video website, open in a browser) onto my Toshiba TV, via Apple TV airplay - whilst still being able to work on a separate window/desktop on my MacBook Air.
As a PC user slowly converting to Mac, I know how to do this on a PC by using the Windows logo key +P shortcut, choosing 'Extend' instead of 'Duplicate' and then dragging whatever video source I want to watch into the extended desktop screen being projected on my TV. I've tried doing this on the Mac by
using the multiple desktops in Mission Control (with no success, as Airplay obviously just mirrors what I'm doing on my screen onto the TV, i.e. switching from desktop to desktop as I do on the computer), or
by clicking 'Extend Desktop' instead of the automatic 'Mirror Built-in Display' on the Airplay icon on the menu bar and then dragging the browser into the extended display on the TV and hitting the 'Full screen' button of the video itself. However, as soon as I do this and click or type anything on my computer desktop, the video automatically minimizes and all I'm left with on the TV display is the browser with the initial smaller version of the film playing within it. In the 'View' tab, I've tried switching Firefox/Safari to 'Full screen' before making the video 'Full screen' too, but again, as soon as I touch anything back on my Mac desktop it minimizes. I've noticed Chrome has an 'Enter Presentation Mode' option available in the 'View' tab, which leaves the video playing full screen, but with a grey bar at the top (which is visually annoying, but still closer to what I'm looking for). Similarly, if I try to drag a video file playing in VLC, as soon as I hit the full screen button, the desktop I'm using on the Mac goes black even though I can still move the cursor on it.
I'm clearly missing a step somewhere, so any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm a prolific multitasker!

Hi _MicMacs_,
It sounds like you've been on the right track in trying to sort out this issue. I'm a bit unclear on what you are describing when you say it works initially, but then immediately reverts when you click back on something in your primary display. You may want to try sizing the window to the display instead of using the full screen option (two opposing diagonal arrows), though this will leave the window border around the screen. For a bit more background on working with multiple displays in Mavericks, you may find the following article helpful:

Airplay mirroring on Mac Mini (late 2012) doesn't work, extended display does...

Airplay mirroring on Mac Mini (late 2012) doesn't work, extended display does... What's going wrong here?
Details: OS X Yosemite 10.10
Apple TV 3rd generation, version 7.0
Switching Airplay on on Mac Mini works. It goes automatically on extended display mode. Switching to mirroring works for about 1 sec and then it switches back to extended display mode. On my tv screen i see my second desktop. Funny detail: it has the desktop background i used previously. Another funny detail: I had exactly the same problem when i used the previous versions of OS X and the Apple TV software...
Who can help, please!

I also have been having problems with Airplay on my 2014 Mac Mini see Mac Mini 2014 Airplay Display Disconnect Bug?
I"ve also noticed that my Apple TV (3rd Gen) does not appear in the iTunes Airplay list on my Mac Mini whereas it does on my MacBook.
I've booked a call with Apple Support for next Sunday to discuss the issue.
If I get any useful info I will pass it on.

Help please. Extended display won't work on MBP and AOC 20" 1600 x 900 60HZ monitor. Mirror display does. I've a mini dvd to vga converter cable. Should this work?

I have the same mini display port adapter and Belkin DVI-HDMI cable (but a Panasonic 42" Plasma HDTV) so just set this up on it to see if I could duplicate your problem, unfortunately for you (but good for me) I can't.
I connected the adapter+HDMI cable before switching the HDTV on and then powered up the MBP. It (the HDTV) came up with my background right away (it's set at Mirror not extended Desktop) and when I run System Preferences/Displays get the following. Sorry but all I can confirm is that adapter+cable combination should work ...
Try doing a Parameter RAM reset - hold down command/option/p/r keys at start up and wait for three chimes before releasing the keys?

Using my Macbook Pro as an 'extended display' (2ndary monitor) to my G5

My G5 tower looks like it has two DVI connections: one is (30+5) pins and the other is (24+5) pins.
I have a simple ViewSonic monitor connected to this G5 using the (24+5) pins.
I am trying to use my new Macbook Pro as a secondary monitor (extended display to the G5 cpu).
How do I connect the (30+5) pin output from the G5 tower to the (24+5) pin monitor connection on my MacBook Pro? And will this even work? Has anyone tried this?
Thnks

Correct. I'm not aware of any laptop that has been designed with a DVI or VGA input to allow use of the laptop's display as a monitor for another computer.
(I know someone else will bring this up, so I'll include the info here, but I don't recommend the following solution at all)
The expensive and relatively low-quality (picture-wise) way to work around this would be to buy a FireWire or USB video digitizer and run your desktop's video (as an S-video signal) to the video digitizer, and use your laptop to receive and display the image.

Does Apple TV support wireless connection to the new MacBook Pro retina in an extended display mode?

Does Apple TV support wireless connection to the MacBook Pro retina display in an extended display mode? What is the output resolution and is sound also transmitted across?

SB1983, by extended display do you mean mirror? All MBP since early 2011 support it if they are running OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. The resolution will depend on your Apple TV (2 Gen is 720 and 3rd Gen 1080) and wifi, it will lose some quality but I find it minimal. It does also mirror the sound.

Did you buy this as new from a reputable source?

Extended display

Hi,
my PC has 2 monitors in portrait format. I am using extended display mode and if the reading pane of Adobe reader crosses the boundary the display will be garbled:
Interestingly when I hoover over the task bar and menu is open, then Adobe Reader will render correctly for this short time.
Anyone an idea on what the problem is, and how to cure it? I searched for a support form/support email address, didn't find one. This happened to me also on a different PC with Adobe 9 version.

While Acrobat and Adobe Reader don't have full support for multi-monitor systems they normally display OK on an extended desktop, even if crossing the boundary.
Suggest you try turning off 2D graphics acceleration on Reader's preferences > Page display dialog and see if that helps. Beyond that it's difficult to offer much support as it sounds like a graphics compatibility issue, but please log a bug using this form:
