I have two monitors and want to be able to direct which apps open on which monitor; how do I do that?

I just bought an iMac to replace my MacBook Pro, and now have my Cinema Display hooked into my iMac, giving me two monitors. I have them set up the way I want them, with one being the primary, the other secondary, and the placement is the way I want, but I'd like to be able to have my internet browser always open in my secondary display, while my calendar and email open on my primary monitor. Is there a way to instruct either the apps, or the hardware to make this happen?'
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Peter

I believe that if you drag an app window to the second monitor and quit it, the comptuer should rememebr its position there. I've done this on older Macs, putting palettes on the secondary and, when I relaunch the app, they stay on the secondary. The newest OS version for which I know this works was under 10.6.8 on a MacBook Pro.
Please tell us what Mac OSX version you have--it could make a difference.

My ipod syncs with itunes but now I have an itouch and want to put some of the music on there as well. How do you do that?

I have an ipod which was set up to sync with my PC. Now I have an itouch and want to sync some of the music from my library with that device from the same computer. Can I do that? How do I do that?

Like LexSchellings said, simply plug it in, configure to sync however you like, and then actually sync away. Basically, you can do the same thing you did with your first iPod.
There is no limit to the number of iPods, iPads, or iPhones you can sync with one iTunes library, computer, or account.

Just install it like you did the first time (do not try to transfer it from the old machine in any way) - you can download thru your account if you purchased it as a download originally - otherwise there is a link for downloading below. Your serial number should be available thru your Adobe account online if your registered the software previously.

If you like you can leave it on the first machine as a backup because you are allowed to have two activated installations. If you wish to remove it from the older machine you should deactivate it first (open an application and choose Help -> Deactivate).

You will need to sign into your account using the iTunes app on your Mac or PC and change the region/country for your account. If you do not have a bank card for the new country, you should be able to make purchases with iTunes Gift Cards if they are available in the new country.

I just recently synchronized my contacts using outlook express, and I want to be able to view the phone contacts on the computer, how could I do that?

I just recently synchronized my contacts using outlook express, and I want to be able to view the phone contacts on the computer, how could I do that? I can't restore the phone then back it up on my computer because I'm on using windows XP and I cannot update my iTunes and thus I can't synchronize my phone back so I lost all my important work contacts and I'm just wondering if I can somehow access it on the computer

You would open Outlook Express on your PC...

I have Two Monitors how do i enable dual display

I have two monitors hooked up to my G4 and they are displaying the same thing how do i enable dual display where i can pan between them? Thanks for your help I am using Os 10.3.9

Hi
I'm fairly certain your graphics card doesn't support it. As far as I'm aware, Apple only introduced Macs with stock graphics cards capable of supporting dual displays (spanned) when they released the QuickSilver model. The cards in earlier G4s (Gigabit Ethernet, Digital Audio) had multiple connectors so you could connect either an Apple ADC display or third party VGA display, but I believe they only mirror each other.
If you needed to support two independent displays at the time, I guess you went for one of the built to order graphics card options, or bought a second (PCI) graphics card.

I have two accounts and want to merge them

Somehow I managed to create two Apple ID's. This started even before I got a Mac but when I opened my iTunes account...
Anyway, how do I merge them or do I have to figure out how to delete one profile? I'm only one person with one iPod and well, two Mac towers.

I do not work for Apple. This is a user-to-user forum. I am a user just like yourself.
My apologies if you misunderstood my intent.
I am not mad at all and I am certainly not trying to start an argument.
I was simply just pointing out that this is the same for all tech companies and not just Apple.
Maybe it is simply that your exposure is only with Apple. I work in IT and spend my day managing a Windows network and the same refresh cycles exist. If you stand still, tech passes you by. I still have old machines on the network that serve their purpose and as long a s they do, it is irrelevant to me if they are supported or not.
I love my old G5 but it's now collecting dust because it still runs but it's "outdated".
Being "outdated" certainly does not make it useless. If it does not do what you need it to do then that is a different story. Hardware improves, software takes advantage of it and eventually old technologies become insufficient to run newer software. You certainly have the option to run the older software on the older machine but if you want the new bells & whistles it requires improved hardware. It is a matter of expectation.

I have an Iphone 5 and want to organize all my contacts on line vs on the phone, how can I do that.

1) I have an Iphone 5 and want to organize all my contacts /emails on line vs on the phone, how can I do that? It seems somehow I have about 10 listings for one person - I think some came when I hit facebook to sync - which was a mistake I dont want to share my contacts.
Also easier to type in new addresses on an computer vs the Iphone.
2) I have a book on my itunes from my Ipad that is not downloaded to my Iphone.
3) My Itunes identity on is saying it is my Ipod, how can I have it seperate for Iphone, Ipad and Ipod in Itunes?
Thank you!!

I went into the cloud on phone it was on. Turned off and back on. Now i have 6 of one contactDeleted face books also incase that was the issue. I went to Itunes and couldnt find contacts - now I wonder it is is my outlook email too adding information as I am seeing contacts that are only on my outlook emails.

i recently got a new computer and want to transfer music from my i pod to my computer. how do i do that?

The ipod is not a storage/backup device. The sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You should copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
