wow, when i did that, a media window remains open, the viewer window is open, the canvas is gone and i can't seem to find it, the timeline is gone, and well, i'm totally lost. any ideas how to get back to normal? im wondering if this thunderbolt display was a good idea or a new nighmare :-(
EDIT: well after some playing around i think i figured out how to get it back altough this is really not intuitive. i resized the meida bin from full page on the TD to smaller, then clicked the sequence, then closed the viewer, then clicked a former TB16x9 template i saved and it came back. this is gonna be some getting used to i can see. not without glitches BUT i made it. giving you the credit/points Shane Ross and thanks for the help.

I don't use Final Cut, so I'm unable to help you on that unless it's compatible with the Lion full-screen mode. If you look in the top right do you see the diagonal arrows like you do in Safari for example? If so click them and the application will fill the screen. If not ask the question in the Final Cut Pro forum:

Can't get palettes onto second monitor

I am using Photoshop CS4 and I just upgraded to Mavericks. When I opened PS I discovered that all the palettes that normally reside on a second monitor are now all on the same monitor with my PS document and I can’t drag them to the second monitor. It seems that PS does not recognize there is a second monitor there. I can drag documents and palettes from other applications onto this monitor so it appears to be only a PS issue. Is anyone else having this problem and is there a solution?

This is probably a silly question, but have you rebooted your Mac? It's silly to ask because most likely the OS upgrade required a reboot, but hey, I don't know the specifics.

Problems with FCP and my second display

Hi everyone !
I'd like to use for my editing and color correction a second display. I bought the JVC DT-V24L1D monitor, and plugged it into my MBP through a matrox mxo.
When inside FCP, I cannot find a way to display the canevas into my JVC screen, it displays the whole screen i already have on my laptop. I read the manual a good hundred times, and by following what is written I just got nothing. Can please somebody help me finding a way to set FCP ? Thanks.

You are probably better off posting this in the FCP forum, where there are several Matrox MXO users, but since I'm one, I'll give it a go.
When you install the Matrox software, you should have a whole new group of easy setups in FCP using the Matrox. If you are working with standard DV footage, choose the appropriate Matrox setup; i.e., Matrox MXO DV NTSC 720x480. There are also setups for HDV, etc.
After choosing an easy setup, and starting a new project, go to the view menu, and set your external video and audio to the same settings as the easy setup, if they aren't already correct.
Using Command/F12, you can switch from your regular display on the 2nd monitor to the FCP canvas.
A couple of other things to mention: for existing projects, you can change all of the above in your sequence settings, and under the View/External Video settings.
And, in system prefs/displays, set up your external display so that it is not mirroring the desktop; then you can create a dual display window arrangement in FCP, so that when you're not using the Matrox for viewing the canvas, you can have an expanded timeline, more space for your browser, etc., etc.
You can save your custom window arrangement, and toggle between it and the Matrox canvas view with the above mentioned Command/F12.

Photoshop elements 10 will not migrate to my new macbook pro/retina display. There is no CD/DVD player on this machine. Any suggestions on how to get Elements onto my machine? Yes, I have the disk(s).

Photoshop elements 10 will not migrate to my new macbook pro/retina display. There is no CD/DVD player on this machine. Any suggestions on how to get Elements onto my machine? Yes, I have the disk(s). Am I going to have to buy an external CD/DVD player to load this one program:(

I have ordered a USB3 BluRay/DVD/CD player/burner and will use that both with my iMac ( in which the Superdrive seems to be failing ) and the MBPro Retina I just bought .

How do I get FCPX onto my second iMac

Hi to all,
Recently purchased FCPX from the app store, downloaded fine onto my primary iMac, but how do I get it onto my second (backup) iMac? My understanding is that I can have it on more than one computer?
When I go into my iTunes account information it shows as being purchased but it does not show in "purchased Apps" to download again, am I missing something here?
Many thanks
geoff1955

Hi blimpmedia, thanks for the response! Your suggestion was 100% correct but I could not work out why it would not work on my 2nd Mac. After spending about 40 minutes on hold with Apple Support I discovered that the version of OSX that I had on the 2nd computer (6.1.1) was not compatible with the latest App Store page view.
I have now downloaded the OSX update, the App Store page is now providing me the "download" option and is downloading FCPX it as I write this!
Many thanks, and I hope that this helps other FCPX buyers too, as this seems to be a common issue out there.

How to get FCP to recognize an animation sequence, not individual clips ?

Hello All;
Could someone tell me how to get FCP to recognize a .png animation sequence (Exported from After-Effects) ? When I place the directory or files onto the timeline, I get a project 27 minutes long, rather than 10 seconds like it should be. I know this must be easy and I'm just missing something.
Tim

You exported a .png image sequence from After Effects?
Three choices:
1) In Final Cut Pro, click anywhere in the 27 minute long timeline and type Command + A to select all the clips. Once they are all selected Control Click on any one of the selected clips, and from the drop down menu choose Duration. Set the duration each clip is supposed to be ( 1 frame? 3 frames?) and click OK.
2) In Final Cut Pro, go to the menu Final Cut Pro > User Preferences. When The User Preferences open, click on the Editing Tab. Set the Still/Freeze duration to the duration you want for each of the stills in your image sequence and click OK. You will then need to re-import the stills, and they will now each be the new duration. This does not work on the stills you have already imported- you need to import the stills again.
3) Open Quicktime Pro (Quicktime Player 7) and go to the menu File > Open Image Sequence. . .
Navigate to the first frame of your image sequence and click Open. You will be asked to pick your frame rate. Set that and click OK.
When it opens, go to the menu File > Export and the Save Exported File As . . . window will open. Choose the codec you want for your animation (Pro Res, most likely) and, determine a location for the file and click Save. The image sequence will be exported as a Movie in the frame rate and codec you chose. Import that movie into FCP to edit or composite.

Is it possible to use a iMac G4 flat panel as a second display

Hi all,
I am not sure whether it's the right place to post this question but here it goes.
We have a 15 inches iMac G4 that's getting slow and are considering upgrading to one of the newer iMac. However, would it be possible to keep using the display and the hard drive of the old computer as a second display and an external drive, respectively for the new Mac?
Any tips or advices welcome
Many thanks in advance.
Best,
Olivier
Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Short answer: not easily.
If the machine is "getting slow" as in, you have the same software that you've had for awhile but things actually seem to be slowing down, I'd first looks at doing some diagnostics before replacing the machine. Maybe even try backing up all your personal stuff and do a fresh format/clean install of the OS.
If you just mean "I notice this machine I've had awhile now seems slow compared to my friends' shiny new Core 2 Duo iMac" then that's a whole other matter .
No reason you couldn't pull out the old hard drive and use it in an external case...or for that matter leave the old machine booted in Firewire Target Disk Mode to access its drive. Maybe the best solution is to network the two machines through a router or Ethernet switch (ridiculously easy), keeping the old (intact) system as a backup. That last is probably what I'd do assuming that space allows.

Main screen and dock move to second display

Hi all,
although i found many replies regarding to how to get the dock to the desired screen i face the following problem.
I am a vj/dj using serato dj, mix emergency and madmapper. Whenever i connect a second display to my macbook (macbook pro early 2013 retina, now on OS 10.9) the main screen and dock is transferred to that second display (e.g. projector). These softwares need to run to the main screen only, and this should be my laptop's screen.
Even if i get the dock back to my macbook display, these softwares recognise as MAIN display the external one and not my macbook pro's display.
I am facing this problem since my OS upgrade to 10.9 from 10.8!
Can i do something to my macbook so as to always recognise its own display as the main display? Does this problem exist on Yosemite as well?
Can i downgrade to 10.8 if all the rest fail?
Regards

Hi konstadinos.k,
I understand you want your MacBook Pro to be the default display for your DJ software when you have a second display connected to it. Take a look at the article below that explains all of the options for extending or mirroring your displays. I've highlighted some key information below that may be helpful in your situation. Even though the article is for Mavericks, the info should still be applicable.
OS X: Using multiple displays in Mavericks - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202780
You can also assign an app to a specific display space from the app's menu in the Dock. Windows assigned to a space always open there when the display you specified is connected.
The blue boxes in Displays preferences represent each display that's connected. The size of each box is relative to the current resolution of each display. In this example, the smaller box on the left is the display of a 13" MacBook Pro while the larger box on the right represents the Apple 27" Thunderbolt Display.
Drag any of the blue boxes to change the location of a display in relation to your additional screens. You can use this feature to make sure your connected displays match their real world location when navigating windows. The white bar at the top of the blue box represents the menu bar. Drag the white bar onto the blue box representing the display you want as your primary display.
Hope that helps ...

Program stuck where second display would normally be?

I normally use two displays but I'm now traveling and I cannot get the program off where the second display normally is (I cannot reach the top bar to drag it across)..
any ideas?

Change the display resolution to something else. Then change it back to normal. That should bring the program back onto the screen.

Crome - stuck in full screen on Second display

Hello
I am in need of some help here.
I have a dual screen set up
Main display - Apple 30" display
Second display - Apple 23" display
At one point I have enabled full screen mode with Google Crome on my 23" display and I can't get it out of Full Screen.
I have quit Crome and tried to start it holding down different keys - Command, option and also control, (alone not together)
No change, still runs full screen
UGH - hate it.
I have tried 'esc' and the blue arrows in the upper right of the screen both did not help.
Thanks

Msi big bang xpower2 - only boots for 10 seconds, displays error b7

Hey guys,
As the title states. I am getting 'b7' on the error display which i read somewhere means 'no input devices detected', can someone confirm this? I have tried turning on the PC with 1 GPU, 2 GPU, and no GPU in different configurations but I get the same error each time. It just boots for 10 seconds, displays 'b7' and then restarts and does it all over again. Help would be massively appreciated as I need this PC for work :(
Thanks
