HT5019 How do I get extended display mode on two monitors off a MB?

I've tried to find answers on other threads but no luck. Is it possible to connect two monitors to a 2008 unibody MB (mavericks) to use extended display? I've never had a problem with using one monitor (mini dvi to vga) as an extended display and now I'd like to add a second monitor via a vga splitter. I thought upgrading to mavericks would solve this but no luck. It's only letting me mirror displays. The "arrangement" option in display prefs not available.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. I never for one second thought this would be so complicated.

Exactly what Bob Levine said. Can confirm, running a two monitor display here.

    how to disable the extended display mode on imac

    I downloaded one of the PDF form (IMM5490) from cic.gc.ca and saved it on my computer after filling it up. Later on the following message popped up when I tried to open the form again later to in order to make some changes.
    "This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no longer available. Please contact the author for the original version of this document"
    Your help in this regard will be greatly appreciated, since, I have already filled the form with a lot of information and I will not be able to edit the form with additional information unless I disable the extended features ( I guess).

  • How do I Get Extended display with another monitor?

    I connected my iMac to another LCD Display, and i'd like to get both monitors to be extended displays instead of mirror displays. Basically Both monitors are showing the same image, but i would like to have both monitors be extended and not share the same screen, for the main reason of working with Logic Music, and i need more visual space to work with.
    My question... How can i do that?
    I went to the help, and the help menu said..
    1.)Open System Preferences and click Displays.
    2.)Click Arrangement and follow the onscreen instructions.
    But i don't see Arrangement on my displays window.

    Hi,
    GOT IT !
    Hope this helps someone in future....
    The Popup Key LOV (Displays description, returns key value), and probably other Popups, automatically create a hidden field for the return value.
    My field was P7_CONTACT so htmldb creates a hidden item P7_CONTACT_HIDDENVALUE
    P7_CONTACT.value equals the display text.
    P7_CONTACT_HIDDENVALUE.value equals the ID value.
    So, I can access the returned Display name by:
    html_GetElement('P7_CONTACT').value
    Done deal...
    Thanks, Bill :>)

  • My iPod is showing a white screen. I could not see anything. But I can listen to songs by blindly pressing the play button twice. The battery comes only for an hour.? How do I get the display and longer battery?

    Hello Friends,
    I've two iPod Nanos (4th gen - 8GB). I'm facing a severe problem with both of them. For both iPods, I tried to do this method Simultaneously press the top button + home (central) button. But of no use.
    1. My first iPod is showing a white screen. I could not see anything. But I can listen to songs by blindly pressing the play button twice. The battery comes only for an hour.? How do I get the display and longer battery?
    2. My second iPod is facing more severe problem. None of the buttons are working. When I connect it my PC it showing "CONNECTED- eject before disconnecting". But it is not ejecting with all the usual methods. When I manually and physically disconnect it from the PC the same "CONNECTED- eject before disconnecting" is still showing till the battery goes off. After that if i press any button it is showing low battery signal. And when i re-connect it to the PC the same process is repeating. When I tied to restore it to the factory settings I'm getting "Error" report.
    (I'm using windows 7)
    Friends, Please help me with the above problems. It will be a great help.
    Thank You.

    Sounds like some hardware issues, meaning you'll want to take or send the iPods in for service or repairs. You can choose to have Apple do an out of warranty exchange for the prices indicated in the link below or find another third party service perhaps even local to your area.

  • How Can I get extend of ThemeBasedFOI layers

    Hi,
    I am trying to figure out how I can get extend of ThemeBasedFOI layers. With this information I try to center my theme based FOI.
    So far I tried two ways:
    - My first trial was getLayerBoundingBox method of ThemeBasedFOI class. However the resulting SdoGeometry was the extend of the whole map. After I zoom out/in, pan I can not center my FOI with getLayerBoundingBox result.
    - My second trial was getFOIDataEntries method of ThemeBasedFOI class. Through iteration (of FOI data) I try to find layer extend. However, when the layer content was polyline or polygon the method was failed. Since I can only reach the first coordinate of the foi data entries. The failure was dramatic if there is only one FOI data in layer (for this case I can not even has clue about the extend).
    How can I get ThemeBasedFOI extend (now and future)? I also wonder if there is anybody there getting the true result from getLayerBoundingBox method. I also expect that I will utilize this method in future without any problem.
    Thanks for help and interest.

    I understand that having a preset text that you did not want can be a bit frustrating when sending out text. To clarify, is the preset message like a signature at the end of your text? Does this only happen in text messages or when your send emails also? Is your SMS delivery confirmation on? Messaging>Settings>SMS delivery confirmation.

    Not sure what you mean by that: is that URL in an image, or is it actual text?
    If it is in an image, then you need to extract the image, edit it with something like Photoshop, then add it back to the PDF.
    If the URL is actual text, I suggest that you remove the entire URL, then add the corrected link.

  • Does Apple TV support wireless connection to the new MacBook Pro retina in an extended display mode?

    Does Apple TV support wireless connection to the MacBook Pro retina display in an extended display mode? What is the output resolution and is sound also transmitted across?

    SB1983, by extended display do you mean mirror?  All MBP since early 2011 support it if they are running OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.  The resolution will depend on your Apple TV (2 Gen is 720 and 3rd Gen 1080) and wifi, it will lose some quality but I find it minimal.  It does also mirror the sound.

  • How can I get Sender Display Name using Get-MessageTrackingLog?

    Hi, could you please help me. We have got a monitoring system at work which monitors some devices, so if something wrong happening with these devices email is sent from MASTER email (Customer Name <[email protected]>) to us. I'm trying to get a list
    of all emails of that monitoring mailbox using PoweShell command
    Get-MessageTrackingLog and export them to CSV file. In the end of the day I need CSV file with 3 columns: TimeStamp, MessageSubject and SenderDisplayName! Yes, I need Sender Display Name cause all emails are sent from one MASTER email
    (Customer Name <[email protected]>) and only difference between them is sender Display Name which is cexactly what I need.   
    This is the code I'm using:
    Get-MessageTrackingLog -EventId Receive | Select Timestamp, MessageSubject, Sender | Export-CSV C:\NagiosAlerts.csv
    –NoTypeInformation
    So how can I get sender Display Name(Customer Name) using Get-MessageTrackingLog insted of Sender email (<[email protected]>)? 

    The DisplayName is not recorded in the Logs only the EmailAddresses are so there Is nothing you can do with Message Tracking to get this the way you want. You need to look at another property may soureIP or include something in the Subject
    of the Email (eg a customerId in the Subject is a much better option) to give you some differentiation. Otherwise you need to access the Email directly from the Mailbox it was sent to and then extract the DisplayName from the message (or use a journaling
    on those emails etc)
    Cheers

  • Zen Vision M: How do you get the Display to st

    How do you get the display to stay on when using a transmitter to play songs on the radio? Everytime I connect the transmistter, the Zen display shuts off so I can't select and change songs without disconnecting then reconnecting to play. I don't know if there is a simple option that I'm just not getting. Any suggestions?Message Edited by SKC909 on 04-26-20070:42 PM

    SKC909,
    Are you connecting the transmitter to the player headphone jack or the AV out? From your post, it sounds like you're doing it from the AV out. If that's the case, go to the player System->Video setting and disable Video out.

    how can I get a display of all running programs in lion like I used to get when I did a 4 finger swipe in snow leopard?
    I liked to turn off running programs without a window that I was no longer using
    thanks.
    Best I can do now is to open the "force quit" window and click on programs I want to stop and then send each one a "command-Q" and then repeat as necessary

    Nokia does not give extended warranty except perhaps in some promo. The dealer you bought it from may offer you extended warranty with them. Apart from that, none.

  • White screen, but you could get the display via an external monitor.

    Hi,
    A few weeks ago, my Macbook pro(A1212) stopped displaying. It only showed a white screen, but you could get the display via an external monitor. A friend looked at it and we discovered a burnt Mosfet (SI3443DV) which was item Q9400 on the motherboard. He went and changed it but it only displayed for less than 5 minutes and it went back to the white screen. would you please advice on what to do since i am not in a financial position to take it for repairs at the apple store?
    Joe

    Forget it.
    1: If it was tampered with, then it doesn't qualify for warranty or AppleCare.
    2: Repairing it will incur a new expensive logicboard, because that's how they do things. Swap parts out.
    3: No money, means no Mac.
    Sorry. We don't do hardware repairs here.
