Full screen issues with dual monitors in safari.

I have my 21 inch iMac connected to my 42" panasonic LCD TV. Up until recently I've been watching TV via my sling box back in the states. (I'm a soldier stationed in Germany). When I go to a full screen mode in Safari, I get full screen in my iMac and not the TV. Even when the window is in the TV. This never happened before, it's almost as if the iMac sees the TV but makes all full screen video available only on itself rather than where ever the window may be. Safari help tells me I can choose where I want full screen by swiping on the magic mouse, but I can't get it to work. How do I get my video to stay on my TV when I double click on the video instead of having it jump back to the iMac?

Reading your post full screen mode is working as Apple intended it to. When you set full screen mode on an app that has the ability it makes it full screen on the Mac and any other monitor is left blank while viewing that app. Currently there are no adjustments to change this. I would recommend providing feedback to Apple at www.apple.com/feedback to let them know what you anticipated.

Full Screen Problem With Dual Monitor Viewing

I have a 64 Bit system, Chrome browser and with flash player built in. I am attempting to view videos on a 2nd monitor while working on the primary monitor. I have tried this on various sites, TNT.tv, USANetworks.com, etc... I select full screen viewing. A message is displayed to exit full screen press escape. However, when I attempt to do anything else automatically exit full screen on the second monitor. This should not be an issue and with the way most people view video online, they are doing so on a 2nd monitor or TV. I have done a google search and it is a common problem, but there is no solution that seems to work.

I have just posted the same question - missed yours.
Adobe could you take a look into this - I think solving this problem can't be that hard.

[Non IE Regression] Support for full screen mode with multiple monitors

This seems to be a regression with Flash Player v11.2.202.x (for all other browsers).
With Internet Explorer it is still working.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/890/cpsid_89050.html
== Support for full screen mode with multiple monitors ==
Full screen content will remain in full-screen on secondary monitors, allowing users to watch full-screen content while working on another display.
Tested on Windows 7 x64 SP1 with:
- Internet Explorer 9
- Firefox Release, Beta, Aurora, Nightly
- Opera 12 build 1116
In bugbase.adobe.com I cannot choose v11.2.x

Please vote for it If you have the same problem:

Full screen preview with one monitor

Hello,
I'm using Premiere Pro CS5 on a Mac with a single monitor. I would like to see the full screen preview on this monitor, hiding all GUI elements.
By reading around, I could only find the suggestion of selecting the Preview pane and press the ~ or ` key. Unfortunatly, it seems that this shortcut only triggers the Maximize or Return to the Original Size commands. GUI elements remain in the display.
Is there some preference to select somewhere?
Thank you, Paolo

That's as close as you can get with Premiere; it doesn't do a single-monitor fullscreen the way FCP does.

Full screen mode with dual screen

I have a Macbook Pro and use a second screen. I do like the new full screen feature but the app (safari, chrome, opera, firefox etc...) will only full screen with the primary screen (macbook screen). Really defeats the point of having two screens and having the full screen feature combined.
Any resolutions or is there a new update coming?
In Summary:
Full screen mode will only work on your primary monitor and not a separate screen. Please help.

Known issue.
Hopefully, it'll be fixed in a future update.

Use 2 Full Screen Apps in Dual Monitors

I always work with two monitors. How I can use two full-screen apps at time (e.g. Xcode + iCal) ?

Here is a screen shot of my 3 monitor setup under Snow Leopard, and it is my understanding that Lion will make the two side monitors display a linen pattern.
The center monitor (iMac 27") is Aperture in full screen mode, the left one has Mail, the right Safari, both have Aperture HUDs.
I'm thinking that real linen would have been cheaper than faking it with two external monitors.

Screensaver issue with dual monitors

My screensaver has recently started acting up. It's sort of a minor blip, but it worked before and now it won't. Here's the issue: I have dual monitors (Intel imac, running Leopard, with a Viewsonic 20" lcd running in extended desktop mode). I use a "smart" album from iphoto as a screensaver (iphoto 08, v7.1.5). I've been using this particular smart album for several months as my screensaver and it's worked fine. How it used to work: when the screensaver activates (either by time or by hot corner) both screens would draw photos from this album and randomly scroll, zoom, and fade them across each monitor, independently but simultaneously. It's worked like this flawlessly for years, with several different iphoto albums. Now, I just noticed that the second monitor does not find the pictures. A message on screen "looking for pictures" appears on both monitors, as normal, but instead of both monitors going to screensaver, only the imac starts, and the message "looking for pictures" stays on the other. What's weird is that if I run the screensaver in test mode, it works like it used to (both screens work independently and simultaneously). And if I switch to one of Apple's supplied screensavers, both screens work as well. But any iphoto album no longer works properly. I don't understand what has changed. I just recently ran an upgrade (Software Upgrade, a week or so ago) but it seems like it worked normally since then, and I don't believe the upgrade was a major one or had anything to do with iphoto. I just noticed this problem today. I've tried restarting the machine. Same issue. Any ideas what could be causing this minor, yet annoying, glitch.

I had this same problem arise after installing an iPhoto update in late January. I contacted AppleCare and the problem was escalated to a Product Specialist. The Product Specialist contacted Apple Engineering and Engineering 1) replicated the problem and 2) confirmed that it's a bug.
So, Apple is aware they have a bug and we look forward to a bug fix -- at some point in the future. I hoped the problem would be fixed with the next iPhoto update but a major update came out today and the problem remains. I don't know if there's any way to know whether the problem is an OS bug or an iPhoto bug but either way we have to wait until it reaches the top of the pile at Apple...

Full Screen Panning over Dual Monitors

I have a pretty quick and upfront question.
I would like to plug in two projectors to my Powermac, and then full screen a movie and have it span over both monitors. My movie is basicly double HD (2560x720) (two 1280x720 movies combined side by side). The point of this is to do Stereoscopic movies, and then we project both projectors one on top of the other. However, whenever we full screen the movie, it just full screens over one of the projectors.
We've Tried "Full Screen" and "Presentation" mode? Is there something we're just missing, or is this not possible.
Hopefully someone can help Thanks in advance.

The main problem with playing two videos to two monitors (not counting the fact that many PCs aren't that great at playing that large a video anyway), is that the drive is seeking to two files in different places on the disk. That would be a lot worse too in the case of optical discs.
With one QuickTime file played on two screens (as can be done with Director), the video is coming from one file, with all the data nicely interleaved on the drive to save having to do any seeks at all.

Full screen mode with dual displays

I use a 20" iMac, and have a 23" ACD hooked up to it. I use the 23" as the main display.
Whenever i view a QT video, if i choose fullscreen it does it on the iMac screen. How can i get it to play fullscreen on the 23" ACD?

How can I solve this same problem globaly? In other words, is there a way to tell the computer (my macbook) to throw ALL full screen things to the second display instead of the macbook's display?
Realplayer, WMA, and computer games all still go to my macbook display. Ples help.

Screen sharing with dual monitors

I have a user on the network with a 13" MBP w/ 10.6.8 with an external display (23" Dell LED) set up to its right. The user typically leaves Mail open on the 13" display and runs her other apps on the external display. I'm running a 17" MBP w/ 10.8.1 with a 27" LED Cinema Display set up to its right.
When I try to share her screen, things go strange. It used to show the two displays correctly in a large window on my LED, but at some point when I was running Lion, and for no apparent reason (I didn't notice it immediately after an update, for example), the whole thing seemed to shift to the right by one screen width. Honestly, I can't think of a way to describe it, but I can simultaneously give you a screen shot and show off my amazing 'Shop skrillz. Behold:
Please forgive the atrocity that is this pixel homocide. If you tell me what's wrong with the screen sharing and how to fix it, I promise never to destroy harmless pixels again. Anytime soon, anyway.

Hi,
They could of course set the screen/Monitor to Mirror for a while as well
Also in the arrangement part of the Displays they could set it to have on on top of the other which might display slightly better if your Screen is 4 X 4 ratio

IChat screen sharing with dual monitors on client

Hello,
I'm trying to help a buddy out via screen sharing. The problem is he has two monitors. When I connect, they both appear as one display on my monitor resulting in a very small & hard to view image.
Is there a way to only show one monitor at a time? I know this works with regular screen sharing when Macs are on the same LAN, but I can't figure out how to do it via iChat.
thanks,
Shaun

Snow Leopard does not remember screen position with dual monitor

Hello,
I have an external monitor, which I like to be on top of my Macbook Pro monitor. In the monitor preference pane, I can set the monitor disposition such that my external monitor (main monitor) appears on top of my laptop (secondary monitor). However, every time I unplug the external monitor, I have to do the settings again, because when I plug it back, it shows as "side-by-side" configuration.
How can I make this setting stick ?
Thanks

Try deleting a related plist:
~yourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
Then reset position.

Need to launch Organizer Twice to work with Dual Monitors

If I open a project or either Photoshop Elements 10 or PRE10 and then click on Organizer it loads, but sits in the taskbar below. If I hover over it the AERO Windows (Win 7) pops up showing it's loaded. But It will not maximize. This is when I had last used it on a second monitor so I can easily compare before and afters. However, if I right click on it and close it, then reopen it, it launches perfectly in the 2nd monitor. Does this every time. I ussually leave it open all the time now to avoid this but I don't know how sesitive the catalogs are if the system is rebooted for some reason.
I did no specific configuration for dual monitors, Just dragged it over there when I wanted to use it.
Thanks,
Joe..

Hi Joe,
This is a known issue with dual monitors and got to know that Organizer people are tracking it as a bug for now.
Hope this will be fixed soon.
Thanks

ITunes Full Screen with Dual Monitor Setup?

This seems like a poor design choice but I can't figure out any way to turn it off. Seems stupid if you can't...
If you have two monitors plugged in and try to watch a movie in itunes (or the visualizer) in fullscreen, it will go full screen on one monitor fine, but it also makes the other one go black and unusable.
Does anyone know a way to make iTunes go full screen in only one monitor without pointlessly rendering my second monitor useless? It would be nice to be able to browse the web or do work on one monitor while having the iTunes visualizer (or watch a TV show) on the other monitor. Quicktime pro does this without any issues.
Thanks.

For your wallpaper drag the window to cover it.
What I mean is that I don't see how you can do what you want, cause when you watch someting full screen you usually don't want to see your wallpaper on your second screen. And that if you want to work on your second screen you won't mind not having it full screen.
QT pro will allow what you want cause it assume that you are working on your movie.

How do I use dual displays to have a full screen app on one monitor and another full screen app or the desktop on the other?

How do I use dual displays to have a full screen app on one monitor and another full screen app or the desktop on the other?
I want to have my itunes visualizer on my TV which is connected via HDMI adapter, and still have access to full screen itunes and my desktop on the main display.
Any suggestions? App downloads that can do this? Please let me know.

You can't do it. This has been an issue since Lion.
