How to make PowerBook remember screen layouts from small screen to Cinema

I'm using a 23" Cinema Display with my G4 Powerbook. But I often disconnect the display if I need to take the Powerbook with me around the office.
When I do this, I have to reposition all my windows - finder and apps - where I want them on the small screen. Then, when I reconnect to the Cinema Display, I have to reposition them all over again.
Some apps seem to do this fairly well themselves - like Photoshop and InDesign - but others don't.
Is there some way for me to get the Mac to remember the positions of all the windows in each configuration, so I can just switch between them... a bit like the "Location" (under the Apple menu) does for my network settings?
Thanks for any advice.

I don't think that you'll be able to use the HDMI port - I don't think!
Rather, what you would need is a Thunderbolt/Mini DisplayPort to VGA (if that's what the monitor has) adapter -> http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=104&cp_id=10428&cs_id=1042802&p_id=5107&se q=1&format=2.
Good luck,
Clinton
P.S. Does your monitor have any other input ports? DVI would be best.

    Hi Santhiya,
    I have seen a similar post from you, my understanding is that you wonder that the reply is mapped to the related subject. You can take a look at Daniel's reply in the following thread:

  • How to make separate/individual text frame from one parent frame in indesign with javascript

    Hi all,
    Please suugest - how to make separate/individual text frame from one parent frame in indesign with javascript.
    Thanks
    Rohit

    @Larry – ah, your interpretation could be the right one…
    May I rephrase the question:
    "How to split threaded text frames to single ones?"
    "SplitStory.jsx" or "BreakFrame.jsx" under Scripts/Samples indeed could be the answer.
    From the comments in the code of "BreakFrame.jsx":
    //Removes the selected text frame (or text frames) from the
    //story containing the text frame and removes the text contained
    //by the text frame from the story.
    //If you want to split *all* of the text fames in the story, use the
    //SplitStory.jsx script.

    Hi there did you end up getting this resolved?  I have the same exact same issue with my Ipad 4 when updating to 8.1.3....frozen on the apple logo.  Tried resetting as advised by other users but just goes back to the same logo.  Tried connecting to iTunes but device is not picked up at all.  Left it over night to run flat hoping charging might kick start something....but when I put on the charger it shows the battery charge icon but won't actually charge it.  It's really doin my head in trying to find a fix - cheers Morgan

  • How to make pages a graphics layout program

    In the earlier version og Pages, you used to beable to choos wheater you wanted to use the program as a wordprosesser or a graphics layout program.
    How do you make this desigation in the new version of Pages.

    If you use the Help in the Help menu in your Pages you will find this
    Create a page layout document
    In page layout documents, every page is a blank canvas to which you can add text, images, shapes and other objects, and arrange them however you want. Some Pages templates are designed specifically for creating page layout documents.
    If you're using a word-processing template, you can convert it to a page layout document at any time, to have more flexibility in how you design each page. For example, to add text to a page layout document, you add text boxes and type your content in them. You can then layer text boxes with objects, which isn't possible in word-processing documents.
    Important: When you convert a word-processing document to a page layout document, any existing body text (text that's not in a text box) is deleted. If you want to save the body text, copy it before you convert the document, then paste it into a text box or another Pages document. Also, when you convert, all objects that are set to move inline with text (in the Arrange pane of the Format inspector) are deleted. All other objects are set to stay on the page and not move with text.
    Convert a word processing document to a page layout document
    You can covert a document at any time, but it's easiest to do it when you first open the word processing document template (for example, the Blank templates).
    Do one of the following:
    Choose File > Convert to Page Layout (from the File menu at the top of your computer screen).
    Click Setup inspector , click Document, then deselect the Document Body tickbox.
    To convert from a page layout document to a word processing document, choose File > Convert to Word Processing (from the File menu at the top of your computer screen).

  • How to make Mail stop marking messages from my Contacts as Junk?

    I use Mail to access both my Gmail and Mac mail. Mail has begun marking as Junk messages from my Contacts, including VIPs. In Preferences, I have checked the boxes to have Contacts and Previous Recipients exempt from email filtering, yet they still sometimes end up marked as Junk and sent to the Junk folder. These are all Gmail messages: I use my iCloud account very little. I've unchecked the Trust junk mail headers... and Filter junk mail before applying my rules. I don't see how to make Mail leave my Gmail alone! Can anyone help?

    Google recommends turning off Apple mail Junk filters if using gmail filters.
