How to connect a 2nd screen

I'm going to college soon and i wanted to get some extra workspace. I wanted to maybe use my screen on my macbook and connect it together with my lcd screen from my old pc so that my mouse would go from one screen to the other but work as a unit. What would I need to do this and how would I do this.

The MacBook has an Apple-specific mini-DVI output for video. They sell 3 different kinds of adapters:
mini-DVI to DVI
mini-DVI to VGA
mini-DVI to Video (S-video and RCA composite video)
http://store.apple.com/us/search?find=mini-DVI
You plug the adapter into the MacBook, then use the standard cable that comes with the monitor.
Your monitor may have VGA, DVI or both inputs, some newer ones have S-video and RCA also. The DVI signal is the best quality digital signal, but VGA can be pretty good quality also. The MacBook can go up to 1920x1200 resolution on the external monitor, in addition to the built-in display. When the monitor is connected you get some additional controls in the System Preferences: Displays. Arrangement lets you move the Menu Bar and Dock from one display to the other, and you can move one to the left or right to match how they are located on your desk. You may want to recalibrate the color profile using the Color: Calibrate option if you don't like the default color profile.

How to connect two DVI screens to Thunderbolt Display's Thunderbolt Port?

Hi everyone,
I have a new MBP and an external Thunderbolt Display. The Thunderbolt Display itself has a Thunderbolt port, and I was wondering if there is anyway to connect to DVI screens to that. My goal is to have the Thunderbolt Display and 2 x 24" Samsung DVI screens connected to my MBP.
Alternatively, has anyone had success using a third party device like the Matrox 2 go to drive multiple monitors from the usb port?
Thanks,
Dave.

You could try a TB>DVI adapter (here's one from Monoprice) but I don't know that it will work - I'm thinking that you could have at least one of your Samsung displays use it. You may also want to see if you can find a HDMI>DVI adapter for your second Samsung display - something like this?
I know that I've seen three monitor set-ups on YouTube - but I'm not sure what was connected to what. Easy enough to daisy-chain ATDs but it gets a bit tougher when utilizing HDMI ports, etc., and I'm not sure about the GPUs ability to drive all three displays.
Oops - sorry - strike that second paragraph - I thought that you were running a Retina display MBP...

How to connect a DELL screen (DVI-D) to MacAir via Thunderbolt

Hello,
can one connect a DELL screen (DVI-D) (eg Ultraslim S2230MX) to a MacAir via the Thunderbolt outlet using a
Mini DisplayPort to-DVI-Adapter ? Does anyone have experience with such a combination?
Many thanks, Werner

The Thunderbolt to DVI adapter does not discrimate what monitor is connected to it via DVI.
So yes, you can connect your Dell monitor to your MBA using the adapter.

C40: Display local PC content at no connection with 2nd screen

The PC is connected to the C40 (TC7.1) as source for presentation. Is there a way to automatically display content of this PC when far end side transfers no content?
(With other words, screen should display PC content always except far end side transfers content)

Hello Juergen -
It's not possible that I know of to automatically send the presentation source without some user interaction via the remote or touch panel to send it to the far-site. You can however, configure the presentation input to automatically display on the screen when it's connected to the codec, then all you have to do is, send it to the far-site.
See the profile-c60-c40-and-codec-c60-c40-administrator-guide-tc72, pg 120.

How to connect a 2nd airport express in a home network?

I'm triying to connect a second airport express in my home network but when I plug in and go to Airpot Utility says :
"This version of AirPort Utility doesn’t support this base station. Go to AirPort Service and Support for more information."
I don't know what to do to get connect the second airport exprees?, Do I miss something ?

You need AirPort Utility 5.6 to configure that model Express. The problem with that version is that Mountain Lion will refuse to let you install it.
This dilemma is easily solved. You simply need to extract the app from the installer package using a package extractor like Pacifist or unpkg. Pacifist is shareware, unpkg is free.
Download Pacifist here: http://www.charlessoft.com/
Download unpkg here: http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Download AirPort Utility 5.6 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
When the AirPort Utility .dmg file finishes downloading, open it to expand and reveal the AirPortUtility56.pkg package installer file.
Directions for Pacifist (I do not have screenshots for unpkg but the idea is similar):
Open Pacifist and from its File menu, navigate to the package and open it.
Click the "reveal triangles" until you see AirPort Utility 5.6.app:
Select it and then click Install from Pacifist's toolbar. It will then be installed in your Utilities folder, and you can quit Pacifist.
Mountain Lion will not allow you to delete its existing version of AirPort Utility. Just ignore it. It and the older version (which will bear the unique name "AirPort Utility 5.6") can peacefully coexist.
If you happen to have an archived copy of the AU 5.6 app somewhere, such as a Time Machine backup or equivalent, you can simply restore it or drag the app to your Mountain Lion system's Utilities folder instead of resorting to the above procedure. It will run without complaint. It is only the package installer that is the problem.
If you have an older computer with a version of AirPort Utility earlier than 6.0, you can administer it that way as well.

I was in the middle of the iOS 8 update and tried to turn my phone off (yes, I realize this was dumb) But what happened was it tried to reset. Now, my iphone 4s has the connect to itunes screen. I have tried to reset, recover, etc but I keep getting and error -51 message. Any ideas how I can get my phone working again? I am not worried about saving any info just having a phone to use!

Try a Hard Reset.....
Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button AND the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen, it can take 10 or more seconds. Ignore the swipe to turn off message.
