How to move windows from disconnected screen to active desktop?

Hi
I have a projector connected over the MiniDisplay-port on my Mac Mini, and a large Samsung screen connected over the Mini-DVI-port.
Whenever I turn off the projector, I can still see from the Display menu that the proejctor is still connected. How can I make OS X recognize that the display is in fact off?
The problem occurs when I open an application that was open on the projection scren (like iTunes’ movie plauyer window, or QuickTime): because it will reopen on the screen that is now turned off.
The only work-around I have found is to enable Spaces, and move the window over using spaces. But this is cumbersome and annoying.
Does anyone have a better solution? Thanks in advance,

I have already tried that, and the screen still appears as connected. I guess that is correct, as the cable still is connected. But that doesn’t really help when the monitor is off.
Other suggestions?

  • Move Window from One Screen to the Other

    With multi-monitor setup, is there a shortcut key to move a window from one screen to another? This is about the only thing I miss from my old days of using a PC.
    Way too lazy to drag
    Thanks!

    no, there isn't and I don't believe you can possibly make one. I don't know how this works in windows but os x would need to know where exactly to put a window on the other screen. since screens often have different sizes that would be impossible. besides, with extended desktop there is no actual separation between the screens and a window can be partly on one screen and partly on the other.
    I'm afraid you are just going to have to drag.

  • How to move apps from one screen to the next?

    In order to organize a bit the screens after installing several apps, how can we move them from one screen to the next?
    I've found it possible to place them in the lower bar and then replace them into the required screen but that's very slow...
    Any other way?
    Also, is it possible to place the apps where we want and not get them automatically reorganized (blanks filled)?
    Thanks,

    Sorry I guess the correct terminology would be 'virtual desktops'.
    You pass from one virtual desktop to another swiping left or right on the phone.
    I would like to switch conveniently an app (icon) from one virtual desktop to another.

    I have the same problem. After Mountain Lion was installed, my longstanding display configuration (MacBook Air coupled with large Dell monitor) will no longer allow app windows to be moved from the Air screen to the large display when the large display is configured on top of the Air.  Only the side-by-side configuration works.  Mouse can move above the Air menu bar, but not any app windows.  Mirroring works as usual; this is the only problem. I've tried re-setting the display preferences, and I've also tried pairing with another (non-Apple) monitor.  Same problem.  Is this a known bug?  Is there a fix on the way?

    How do I move icons from one screen to another. 

    Hold down on one icon until they start shaking, then drag the icon to the edge of the screen, and the screen should slide to the next one, you can then drop it on that screen or drag it again to the edge to move to the next screen.

  • How to move data from a staging table to three entity tables #2

    Environment: SQL Server 2008 R2
    I have a few questions:
    How would I prevent duplicate records, when/ IF SSIS is executed many times?
    How would I know that all huge volume of data being loaded in the entity tables?
    In reference to "how to move data from a staging table to three entity tables ", since I am loading large volume of data, while using lookup transformation:
    which of the merge components is best suited.
    How to configure merge component correctly. (screen shot is preferred) 
    Please refer to the following link
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/5f2128c8-3ddd-4455-9076-05fa1902a62a/how-to-move-data-from-a-staging-table-to-three-entity-tables?forum=sqlintegrationservices

    You can use RowCount transformation in the path where you want to capture record details. Then inside rowcount transformation pass a integer variable to get count value inside
    the event handler can be configured as below
    Inside Execute SQL task add INSERT statement to add rowcount to your audit table
    Can you also show me how to Check against destination table using key columns inside a lookup task and insert only non
    matched records (No Match output)
    This is explained clearly in below link which Arthur posted
    http://www.sqlis.com/sqlis/post/Get-all-from-Table-A-that-isnt-in-Table-B.aspx
    For large data I would prefer doing this in T-SQL. So what you could do is dump data to staging table and then apply
    T-SQL MERGE between tables (or even a combination of INSERT/UPDATE statements)

  • How to Bypass Windows 7 Login Screen When Forgot Admin Password

    When forgot Windows 7 administrator login password and be stuck at the login screen what can you do? Believe that many people have encountered such a situation where they are locked out of their own computer for forgotten Windows administrator password. So today I would like to talk about several tricks on how to bypass Windows 7 login screen when forgot administrator login password. Trick 1: Reset Windows 7 admin password with password reset diskIf you have ever created a Windows password reset disk for that administrator account before you forgot its password it is easy to use it to reset or remove its password. Just insert the disk into your locked Windows 7 computer and click ¡°Reset Password¡± link on the login screen. Then follow the password reset wizard to perform password reset. This is the easiest way to bypass a Windows login screen when forgot administrator password. Trick 2: Change Windows 7 admin password in Safe ModeIf you have no password reset disk you have to look for other tricks to bypass your Windows 7 administrator password. So if you have enabled the built-in administrator account you can enter Safe Mode by pressing F8 when your computer is booting. And access that built-in administrator account to change other user password. Trick 3: Bypass Windows 7 Login screen with Windows Password RescuerIf the forward 2 tricks don't work, it is necessary for you to use an effective Windows Password Recovery tool like Daossoft Windows Password Rescuer. Steps are as below.Step 1: Download and install Daossoft Windows Password Rescuer into another accessible computer.Step 2: Launch this tool and follow its instruction to burn it to a USB/CD/DVD flash drive.Step 3: Boot your locked Windows 7 computer from the flash drive.Step 4: Follow its instruction to reset/remove your Windows administrator password. Detailed video tutorial :How to Remove or Bypass Windows 7 Administrator Password - Forgot Windows 7 Administrator Password

    The methods above don't work at all. Eventually I used a paid tool - PCUnlocker Live CD, and it successfully bypassed my lost admin password. 

  • Invoke a Browser Window from any screen.

    I've added my own menu after "System Help" on all screens by adding it in MENUSYST status MEN. I want to call Function Module CALL_BROWSER to start a Browser in Windows which will provide Training information for Users. I'm doing this by using 'T' type menu entries to Call a Report Transaction to call the FM but this resets the original SAP transaction (as if you'd typed /N in the OKCODE). This is possibly becuase my calling transaction is not in a new task. I can't find a suitable Exit in SMOD as an alternative.
    How can I invoke a Browser Window from any screen (that a User might use) without resetting the calling transaction?

  • I have aperture 3.2.4 on my laptop and have the serial number, but just bought a new MAC and I can't get the Ver 3.0 link to work. Anyone know how to move it from my laptop to our new mac?

    I have aperture 3.2.4 on my laptop and have the serial number, but just bought a new MAC and I can't get the Ver 3.0 link to work. Anyone know how to move it from my laptop to our new mac?

    I am talking about the Ver 3 download link that came with the purchase email.
    That link is no longer available. Use "Migration Assistant" to copy your Applications from your old mac to the new Mac, then immediately run software update. Aperture Version 3.2 will not run on your new mac with Mavericks, you will have to Upgrade to version 3.4.5 at least - you can download this update from the Support page: Aperture 3.4.5
    Then launch Aperture and enter your registration key and try now too update from version 3.4.5 to 3.5 from the AppStore. The AppStore will change your Aperture registration to an AppStore version, so you will able to reinstall by downloading from the AppSTore in future.
    If you want transfer only Aperture and no other applications, do it manually: You will have to copy not only the application but folders from the libraries as well:
    /Applications/Aperture.app
    /Library/Application Support/Aperture/
    ~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/
