How do I use the top screen for fullscreen gaming?

I have a 13" MacBook Pro hooked up to my LCD Cinema Display. When I try to play a game (i.e. Civilization, Spore, etc.), it will only play on the bottom screen (my 13" one, not the LCD). Is there any way to make it play fullscreen on the top? I have an external keyboard and mouse, but would prefer not to use them if at all possible. Thanks!

The game is probably set to go fullscreen on the Primary monitor.  Go in System Preferences under Displays and to the arrangement of the monitors.  It will show 2 screens, one with a white bar on top... grab that little white bar and move it over to the other screen and it will make the other screen the primary monitor.

  • How do I use the same profile for two users on the same computer

    I use my laptop both at home and at work. And in each venue I use a different user log on. But I wish to have firefox use the same profile for each user log on. How can I get firefox to point to the same profile for each user?

    Note that only one user (Firefox instance) can use a profile folder at the time, so if you would switch the Windows user to another account then you would first have to close Firefox.

  • How can I use the green screen with iMovie?

    Hey guys! I was wondering how does the green screen effect work with iMovie 11? I need to use green screen in iMovie in school for a project and I am trying to troubleshoot the problem.
    Help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ben

    Record a video against a green screen and import it to imovie.
    Then place the green screen footage ON TOP of the background you want and a list should come up. Select green screen. Also, before you do any of that make sure that your advanced tools are selected under preferences in imovie.

  • How can I use the same session for different components acroos application ?

    I am trying to include the components(chat, filesharing, whitboard) in different parts of my application. User should be able to access any of the component. We would like to have a single "ConnectSessionContainer" so that we don't see same user creating a seperate session for each component.
    Is there a better way of dealing with this other than declaring the "ConnectSessionContainer" in the main application ? Is there a way to check if we have a "ConnectSessionContainer" session already established ? Please help . Thanks.

    Thanks for the response. Let me explain what I am trying to do..
    I am trying to create components at different places(screens) of the flex application (not in the same .mxml file).
    Each time I create a component, I am using a "AdobeHSAuthenticator" and "ConnectSessionContainer" which is resulting a new participant in the room.
    For example
    screen1.mxml -
    <mx:Panel>
    <rtc:AdobeHSAuthenticator id="auth" authenticationSuccess="onAuthSuccess(event);" authenticationFailure="onAuthFailure(event);" />
    <rtc:ConnectSessionContainer id="mySession" >
            <rtc:Roster id="myRoster" width="100%" height="100%" />
            <rtc:Chat id="mychat" width="100%" height="100%" />
    </rtc:ConnectSessionContainer>
    </mx:Panel>
    screen2.mxml (in the same application) -
    <mx:Panel>
    <rtc:AdobeHSAuthenticator id="auth" authenticationSuccess="onAuthSuccess(event);" authenticationFailure="onAuthFailure(event);" />
    <rtc:ConnectSessionContainer id="mySession" >
            <rtc:SharedWhiteBoard id="wb" width="100%" height="100%" />
    </rtc:ConnectSessionContainer>
    </mx:Panel>
    Here, I open a screen1 and authenticate as UserA and when I try to open screen2 flex is considering me as another user though I am in the same application.
    1) How can I use different components which are in different flex files as a same User ?
    2) Should I place my <rtc:AdobeHSAuthenticator> and <rtc:ConnectSessionContainer> in the main application which calls the screen.mxml?
    3) What is the best way to do it ?
    Thanks for your time !

    You can connect one of them to your computer's iTunes, select it on the left-hand side of iTunes, and then on the right-hand side select the Music tab and choose what to sync to that device - you can then connect, select and sync the same content to your other device.

  • How do I use the links folder for bookmarks the same as in IE?

    Until today I was using IE8. In the bookmarks there is a folder named "Links." These would display across the top of the screen like a toolbar (with subfolders acting as dropdown menus.) I want to set this up the same way in FF. Is there a setting/toolbar/addon/... to accomplish this?

    It is called the Bookmarks Toolbar in Firefox. <br />

  • How can I use the entire screen width while using fluid grids?

    Starting to  play around with fluid grids in CS6. If you start with the fluid grid template, in the desktop layout (for example), the gridContainer is 88.5% wide. It appears you should do everything within the gridContainer div. With that being said, If I want to create different visual effects on my page that use a true 100% of the width, how do I do that and stay within this design structure/methodology?
    This seems pretty basic but I don't want to start off by breaking the rules or hacking in a work around
    Thanks in advance.
    Donna

    While starting with the FG Design you can set the widths to 100% in the New Document Dialog
    If you have already into the design of your page , you can modify the gridcontainer classes in your css as below
    .gridContainer {
              margin-left: auto;
              margin-right: auto;
    width: 100%;
              padding-left: 0%;
              padding-right: 0%;
              clear: none;
              float: none;

  • How do i remove the top cover for the K410?

    I spilled water on the top of my computer, and it messed up one of the USB ports on the top of it...  now the computer constantly pops up connect/disconnect messages.  I want to take the top bezel (or cover, or whatever it's called) off so that i can disconnect (or cut) the cable to that USB port, but i cant figure out how to remove it.  Does anyone know how to take it off?  It's the very top of the machine, which has the power button and 4 or 5 inputs. 
    Both USB cables go into one plug at the motherboard, otherwise i would just disconnect it there.  I suppose i could cut one of them at the motherboard, but i want to make sure im cutting the right one.
    Thanks for any help.

    Just guessing, if water is should dry in a day or two and not be a problem.  Also, guessing, probably have to pull the side cover to get access to release the top.

  • P.S.Elements. How do i use the clipping mask for painting? I can't quite apply it for anything.

    I'm wondering if the clipping mask can be used for painting on layers. I can't get it to do anything. I'm rendering race car paint schemes. Elements doesn't have paths. I have Gimp but I want to stick with photoshop. Something about Gimp I just didn't feel it

    Could you give an example of what you are trying to do ?
    The concept of clipping mask is not intuitive at all. Besides 'normal' layer masks associated with their layer, the clipping mask is a 'normal' layer having transparency. It has a what was called a 'linked layer' in older version. The 'clipping mask' layer determines transparency of the linked layer (which is shown offset to the right in the layers panel) to show that the effect of the clipping mask is limited to the above linked layer(s). Instead of having one layer with a mask, you have a mask targetting the 'above' layer.
    The difference is that the normal mask uses greyscale values to represent transparency while the clipping mask has real transparency.
    So, the purpose being masking, I don't see how you could use it to paint ?

  • How do I use the rating system for multiple raters?

    My wife, her sister, and I are all rating some photos I took a couple of days ago. Each of us, of course, has different favorites.
    I would like to record our different ratings in the LR3 rating system but can't see an immediately obvious way to do so. I thought of using the color labels--different color for each of us. But each photo will only take one color label. I could use the star ratings, one star for only one selection, two for two, etc. But that would not record who chose which. I need to know that.
    Has anyone had the same problem? If so, is there some rather obvious solution? I would think that it's not all that unusual for several folk to participate in a shoot, using one camera; and then to need some way to record their differing judgments on the photos in LR3.
    Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks in advance,
    John Kendrick

    The rating system in LR3 is not really designed with that type of functionality in mind.  The "target Lightroom user" is an individual that uses LR to create a catalog of photographs which can be graded with a star rating based upon their opinion of the photograph.  The concept of seperate star ratings for multiple users doesn't really fit into that concept.  LR3, in general, is designed with a single photographer in mind... one that essentially uses the program by his/herself... so it has a bare minimum of 'group' functionality.
    It may be possible to find a plug-in that will enable star ratings by multiple users, but I've never heard of one before.
    If you really, really need this type of functionality (i.e. saving star ratings by multiple people), the only way to do it that I could think of would be to create multiple collections of the same shoot, each of which is filled with virtual copies of the original photos.  Each collection could hypothetically be called '08-03-2010 Bill Ratings'...'08-03-2010 Jill Ratings'... etc... etc.  Admittedly, such a workaround may very well be more trouble than its worth... that's just the only way I can think of that you might come close to achieving the functionality you're after.
    ***EDIT:  You beat me to it (VC idea) while I was typing this reply, Ian... wasn't trying to post redundant info...

  • TS1741 how can I use the remote app for my Apple TV when I am using the Apple TV away from home!?

    I'm traveling and using the Apple TV at the hotel but the remote app is not working cause I can't turn on home sharing from my p&amp;c, cause its not here

    Most hotels tend to require a login to the network via browser, which the ATV doesn't have. You won't be able to access the network for any functions if that's the case.
    You may want to contact someone at the hotel to clarify.
