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:

    Hi,
    You can use DP81 and DP82 to create Quotations .
    If you want to use DP81 then you need to link Sales Inquiry with Project by entering the WBS Element in Account Assignment Tab of Inquiry and also enter the DIP Profile in Sales B View.
    Else you can carry sales pricing without the creation of Inquiry.Enter the DIP Profile ,Dist Channel,Division in control data tab of project and also enter Sold to party in Partner tab.

  • How to create 2 icloud accounts with one apple id

    I would like to find out how to create 2 iCloud accounts using the same apple id. Currently, my husband's iphone4S and my iPhone 4 have merged contacts which we don't want, and when he texts it shows that it is from me.

    You can't do that.  One of you will have to create a new icloud account with a new ID and connect the device to it.
    TO GET DATA FROM ONE ACCOUNT TO A NEW ACCOUNT:
    When connected to the account you want to GET data from, Go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. 
    When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone. 
    After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to this new account.
    Note that this only affects the "Apple data" like contacts, calendars, reminders, etc.  Many third party apps also use iCloud to store data files there.  These files may be lost in the process, unless the apps also keep the data locally on the device.
    NOTE:  Photos in the photo stream (if you use it) will not transfer to the new account.  It is advised that you save the photos to a computer before performing the account switch. 
    CREATING A NEW ID:
    Each user should have their own icloud account, otherwise they end up getting the same emails, contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc. - usually not what you want.  But if all have been sharing the same itunes ID, keep it that way, you can have different IDs for itunes and icloud.
    If you already have another icloud account, and want to set it up on a device, then go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account.  This only disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost on icloud.  Then enter the account ID that you want to use.
    To create a new icloud account, go to

  • How to create custom attributes & object classes through ldif files in OID

    Hi,
    I have to create 4 attributes and one object class(custom) in OID. I want to creae these attributes and object class through LDIF file.
    I tried creating an attribute through this command
    ldapadd -p 389 -h localhost -D cn=orcladmin -w password -f D:/newattr.ldif
    this ldif file contains inf. for creating a new attributes:
    dn: cn=subschemasubentry
    changetype: add
    add: attributetypes
    attributetypes: ( 1.2.3.4.5.6.10 NAME "xsUserType_new" DESC "User Type Definition" EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch
    SYNTAX "1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15" )
    I am getting error: Object class violation
    Failed to find add in mandatory or optional attribute list.
    Please help to find where I am going wrong...
    Thanks.

    Hi Ajay,
    Thank you for the help. Now i am able to create both attributes and object classes in OID through Ldif files.
    I was getting constraint violation error because (I think) I was not giving proper naming convection for attributes and object classes. For OID, there are certain Ldap naming conventions. They are as follows:
    # X below is the enterprise number assigned by IANA
    1.3.6.1.4.1.X.1 - assign to SNMP objects
    1.3.6.1.4.1.X.2 - assign to LDAP objects
    1.3.6.1.4.1.X.2.1 - assign to LDAP syntaxes
    1.3.6.1.4.1.X.2.2 - assign to LDAP matchingrules
    1.3.6.1.4.1.X.2.3 - assign to LDAP attributes
    1.3.6.1.4.1.X.2.4 - assign to LDAP objectclasses
    1.3.6.1.4.1.X.2.5 - assign to LDAP supported features
    1.3.6.1.4.1.X.2.9 - assign to LDAP protocol mechanisms
    1.3.6.1.4.1.X.2.10 - assign to LDAP controls
    1.3.6.1.4.1.X.2.11 - assign to LDAP extended operations
    By using these conventions for attributes and object class, I did got any error and they were created in OID.
    Thanks a zillion.

  • How to create a front panel display that lights up with different colours depending on its input signal?

    I am doing a project where I have this array which has different voltage outputs for each grid. How do I create a front panel object that lights up with different colours depending on the voltage input or is there already such a pre-built function?
    In addition, I wish to display these in an array on screen. Is there any pre-built function for this?

    The simplest way would be an intensity graph. It gives you a 2D grid where each grid point is colored according to the value of a 2D array. The Z axis color ramp determines the color.
    My second choice would be an array of colorboxes. (They could even be made to look like LEDs (see image, if course you can leave them square too), All you need is a scaling function thap maps voltages into a color ramp lookup table with an 8bit index)
    (Using booleans and color property nodes is relatively clumsy. Booleans are meant for two states because the value is boolean. Since array elements can only differ in value, and not in properties, it will not even work. Color boxes have a color data type which is much more appropriate for this case)

  • How to create user in Express database through express command

    Hi
    In our application we need add/delete new user to the OFA. Is there any way of doing this through the automated express.? Is there any Express command to add new user ?
    If so,Please let me know how to do that.
    Thanks
    Murugesan

    Murugesan ,
    You are using pure Express and OFA, and you are not using Oracle OLAP, right ?
    If you create an user in OFA super administrator database, using the front-end as usual, you could see using express monitor command RECAP what commands were performed thru the API. But don´t forget to check which command fires the task USER_UPDATE that goes to the task processor, to update user information at the shared database.
    You can also take a look at the OFA API document available for download at metalink, it could give you some more help.

    Use a JFrame and paint on the content pane. Or a Frame with a Canvas (who the heck still uses AWT?).
    They probably don't do anything because painting a button is not enough. It actually needs to be a button. Or Menu.
