FCPX on extended display issue

So ever since I upgraded to mavericks I've been having an issue where my two FCPX windows wont stay on the same "virtual desktop". I have my desktops set up to where both displays are linked togeather on each desktop and when switching through desktops Im often having a problem where when I go back to FCPX the Events will be on one desktop and the timeline, inspector, ext will be on a seperate desktop and I have to go into mission control 2 or 3 times to get them to link back up. If that makes sense, does anybody know why or is it just a bug that i have to wait to get ironed out?

So here is a screen shot from each display of what its doing.
FCPX originaly on the same virtual desktop and often when I switch fcpx to another app and then back (using cmd+tab) it switches fcpx to be on two different desktops like in the screen shots below it now has FCPX on desktops 1 and 2 where as it was both on desktop 1.

Extended Display Issues

My extended desktop screen has started randomly going into Sleep Mode while I'm using it w/ my '13 MacBook Pro. I try disconnecting the MiniDisplay Port (to VGA) and reconnecting and nothing happens. Usually, the laptop screen also freezes. Sometimes, I am able to press the Power button twice, which turns both screens on and off and returns to normal, but then the extended desktop screen usually switches on and off again, forcing me to reboot. Other times, I can't get it to unfreeze and I'm forced to reboot right away. I'm running Mavericks but this was happening before, as well - it started about 2 months ago. Thoughts? Thx!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Only 27-inch iMacs and Thunderbolt iMacs can use Target Display mode, so they can be used as external displays. As your old iMac is not a 27-inch one or a Mid 2011 or newer one, you cannot use it as an external display with a cable.
Instead, another way of using your old iMac as an external display for your new iMac is by using ScreenRecycler. It does the same, but you need to have both computers connected to the same network

TS3977 Issue with extended display using Displaylink USB to DVI since upgrading to Mavericks.

I have an issue now since upgrading to Mavericks with my extended display monitor using a displaylink DVI to USB adapter. After awhile, the monitor goes blank. I can unplug the connection from the USB port and plug it back in and the display comes back, only to go out again a short time later.
It worked fine for months prior to the upgrade.
Apple say it's Dispalylink's problem and Displaylink says it's Apple's problem. Anyone else having this or a similar isssue?

Someone opened a bug report with Apple in another thread - about a different product that used DisplayLink drivers, and Apple blamed the vendor.
I have many issues too. Crashing Window Manager, and once it crashed my Mac.
I also have many issues... one is corrupt display. The icons are missing in the menubar on my laptop, and squished together on my external monitor:
They are there if I mouse over, but invisible.
I can't click on the squished ones, they are to close.

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 !

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:

Bizarre & Random Dashboards Display Issues/Errors

Hello,
I am on BI 4.1 SP04 and these dashboards were developed using an equivalent level on the client tool. (4.1 SP04)
Sometimes we get very strange and often random display issues with our dashboards. I have attached screen shots for examples. Sometime we are missing data points from rendering on the charts, other times a line chart will extend into a bar chart. Has anyone experienced this or have any idea what could cause this? It is very frustrating...
Thanks for looking,
Gary
Missing data points on yellow line, yet line rendering with proper data (other wise would have 0's in places, etc)
Green line missing dot on last end point
In this example there are no dots on the yellow line or green line
In this example the blue line has turned into massive columns extending across the charts

This patch should resolve the issue in the last screenshot. I still face the other issues after upgrading to SP3 Patch 4. The dots in line chart take some time to appear. Also, if we use dynamic visibility, the components taking considerable time to appear sometimes. I hope this will also be fixed in later patches. Please share your experience too after applying the patch.

MacBook Pro Startup and Display Issues

I've been having some random problems with my MacBook Pro (2.16 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 100 GB 7200 rpm hard drive, ATI Radeon X1600 graphics). Specifically:
1. Lines across the screen and purple boxes sometimes appear.
2. The graphic effects (e.g. zooming a window) sometimes get "frozen" on the screen. In other words a remnant from the animation will stay until the window is refreshed.
3. The Mac sometimes freezes during the startup process. Sometimes the login screen will be unresponsive and other times the Mac will almost bootup but fail when loading startup items.
4. Less frequently the Mac will freeze randomly. I previously had iStat Menus installed and each time the MacBook Pro froze up it indicated both read and write disk activities.
Yesterday I decided to wipe the machine clean and start from scratch in case there were a software issue or corruption on the hard drive that was causing my woes. I completely erased my hard drive and even zeroed the entire disk to make sure everything was completely wiped out. I also disconnected all peripherals to simplify things as much as possible.
The first time I tried the reinstall everything completed successfully but the "Welcome" movie froze part way through. I then had problems running the install again. I was able to boot off the Leopard DVD, but the machine froze a couple of clicks into the install procedure. After numerous tries I was able to erase the hard drive once again and install Leopard. This completed successfully and I installed all updates.
The problems started to show up again almost immediately, however. I installed iLife and iWork and all the updates and had the computer freeze up on me again during a reboot. I also noticed that the display issues started to show up again even before installing any third-party software.
I've tried running disk tests with Drive Genius 2.1, but no errors have been reported. I've also used the freeware Rember program to run memory tests but have yet to see any errors. Sometimes my Mac powers up without any problems and once it's powered up it often stays running for days. The display issues appear quite frequently. I've using iStat Menus to keep an eye on the temperature sensors and everything appears to be normal - so it doesn't appear to be temperature related.
Fortunately the computer's still covered under the extended AppleCare warranty, but I would like to have some idea what's going on before I take it in just in case they're not able to reproduce the issues.
Any suggestions and insights would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance for reading my rather long-winded message.
Cheers,
Tim

I took my MacBook Pro in for repair and it turned out to be an issue with the logic board. I had the logic board replaced (fortunately it was covered under my extended AppleCare warranty) and these problems are a thing of the past.

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.

Apple TV Mirror display issue

I am currently using a 3rd Gen Apple TV with a late 2013 iMac. I can connect to AirPlay display and it automatically connects to "extended display" and the TV screen goes black however I get no options to use as a secondary display. When I click "Mirror display" nothing happens. I have tested on a later Macbook Pro, iPad Mini and iPhone 5 and everything works fine. Both computers are up to date and using OS X Yosemite.

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.

Macbook Pro Early 2011 Display issue

Hi all,
After reading the replacement program that has been extended to MBP for 15" and 17", is there going to be any news with regards to the 13"?
The reason why I'm asking is that while I'm not sure if mine is an isolated issue or widespread/common occurrence, I have had my logic board replaced last year due to a display issue, and currently still unable to run external display, despite reading up on discussion that is going on.
The symptoms mirror that of the 15"/17", just that the 13" does not have a dedicated GPU.
Hope to get more suggestions/ solutions/ news to potential replacement program from here.
Thanks all!
Regards,
Ziang

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Early 2011 15 and 17-inch MacBooks Pro have had several GPU issues that causes graphic corruption, and it was an issue that showed in most MacBooks Pro. However, this does not apply to the 13-inch MacBook Pro, so I think it is just an issue that has appeared on your Mac but there is not a reason for a replacement program.

IMac display issues / Trying to output at 1920x1080 through VGA

I'm having some external display issues with my 2007 Intel Core 2 Duo iMac (2.4ghz). Using the mini-DVI to VGA adapter, I plugged the VGA cable into a Samsung LCD TV (PC mode). When I originally had everything set up, I was using the TV as an extended display, with a display setting of 1920x1080.
However, I had to get a 25 foot VGA extension cable, and now my maximum resolution is 1600x1200. Does anyone know why extending the VGA cable would do this?

There could be any number of factors involved, but cheap cabling, or that your Mac does not have enough power to push the high quality resolution signal that distance first come to mind.

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:

Extended display with my MacBook?

Can I use an extended display with my MacBook?
I bought the "Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter" and hooked it up to a standard Dell monitor. When I try to set up the extended monitor in System preferences/hardware/displays, I do not see the expected "arrange multiple display" option and when I search for extended displays, I get a message that says:
"The Arrangement tab of Displays preferences is hidden because you only have a single display attached to this computer."

Hello GDoyle2604,
I would recommend this article named Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573.
I feel this would be the best advice for you.
All the very best,

T60 running Windows 8 won't extend display to monitor

Hello,
I checked the forums but couldn't find a similar topic.
I have a T60 coming up on it's 8th birthday. About a year and a half ago I installed windows 8. Just recently I tried to extend my work space to a second VGA monitor, in addition to the T60's LCD, in a dual-monitor configuration. I've seen this done before on T60 loaded with XP or Vista.
If I connect a VGA monitor, it will mirror my LCD screen fine on the monitor. But when I try Ctrl-F7 to toggle display options, a message comes up from the right saying, "Second Screen: Your PC can't project to another screen. Try reinstalling the driver or using a different video card."
Not my first time to the rodeo. I went to Device Manager and learned that my ATI display driver had been replaced with "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter." I assume this is some kind of generic driver microsoft pushed out to make older components compatible with Windows 8. So I figured I'd download the driver from AMD.
I actually don't remember the graphic card I have, but searching for my T60 model number (2623D7U) shows it as ATI Mobility Radeon X1400. Unfortunately, AMD never updated the X1000 series of drivers for Windows 8. In fact, I can't seem to find any drivers on their website lower than 2000.
There are some links on various forums suggesting to download the Windows 7 version of the X1400 driver, but apparently AMD changed their website around in February and the links are all broken, and as I said, I can't seem to find any of those drivers on the AMD website.
Just to be clear, everything is working fine as it is, and I don't want to risk screwing it up. But if someone knows how to solve this issue and enable me to gain the ability to add dual monitor mode please let me know. Short of that, if there's a cheap graphic card you can recommend for my PCMCIA slot which could do the trick, I would appreciate it.
Thank you!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Get the Vista driver for your machine here: Ati X1400 driver Vista (32bit/64bit)
Run the setup file to extract the drivers, but cancel the installation, as Windows 8 does not like
the Catalyst Control Center. Then you just manually install the drivers through Device Manager
by pointing it to C:\DRIVERS\WIN\VIDEO
I've done this on quite a few T60's and this always fixes the dual display issue, which Windows
does a great job managing.
