I want to mirror my displays

i broke my screen on my mac book pro. i plugged in the adpater to hook up a vga monitor. it gives me two screens doubleing the area but i want to mirror the images.
any ideas?

Thanks, that takes me partway there, I would like to use the extended desktop mode, but have the menu bar, dock, etc appear on the external monitor and still be able to use the macbook's display. Mirroring does not work so well because the aspect ratios are different, and I don't get the extra desktop space. My old Macbook with Snow Leopard did this by dragging the menu bar from display to display in "Displays Preferences".

  • Please help: I want to mirror my MacBook pro with my HDTV.  I realize I need to switch on my Mirroring Icon BUT I cannot find the icon on my menu bar or in the Display section of my System preferences.  Is it possible to get the Icon on my screen somehow?

    I want to mirror my MacBook Pro's screen to my HDTV.  I had it at one time by clicking the Mirror Icon on my upper menu bar but I do not have it any more?
    What am I missing?  In the System Perferences the display menu seems incomplete.  There is no where in there to set my MacBook Pro to mirroring.
    Can someone please help me?
    I would apprecate any help I get.
    Thanks

    The mirroring selection is in the "Arrangement" tab and only shows up on the MacBook Pro LCD, not the external display.

  • How can I use WiFi to mirror my Display on my TV?

    Sometimes I would like to use my HDTV as a display to mirror what is on my desktop's or laptops screen's, running 10.6.8. I can do this wired without problems either using an HDMI or VGA input. But it's not convenient
    Is their anyway to do this with WiFI/Airport? It would seem one would only need a WiFi receiver and conversion hardware on the TV.
    I don't want to just stream media, like with Apple TV, but want to mirror what ever is happing on my computer screen.
    ALL suggestions are appreciated
    TIA,
    Bill

    No.
    iCloud and PhotoStream merely "push" you iOS photos to your other devices.

  • Is it possible to mirror the display on the Macbook pro which is two years old to my iMac which is four years old? Macbook pro is running OS X Lion 10.7.5 and the iMac is running OS X 10.6.8 (10K549). Neither of them have Thunderbolt ports.

    OK, well I would go with what Apple says in writing but if you want to take a trip to visit the Genius Bar that won't hurt.
    Good luck, I'm 99% certain  you will find I was correct but please let us know.

  • Mirroring 3 displays from a G5

    Hi, i've got a G5 dual 2ghz machine ( not the newer dual core one) and i want to mirror on 3 displays, all connected to this G5
    i've got the standard AGP card in the machine, so 2 dvi sockets available there, if i add a second PCI based graphics card, will OS X (10.4) allow me to mirror the same image/desktop over all three displays?
    i'm concerned the second graphics card won't allow me to display the same image as the built in graphics card

    Instead of extra video cards you could use a DVI splitter. See
    <http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=2348>
    or for less money, use both computer ports and a 2 port DVI splitter.

  • How do i set up a second display for my iMac desktop?  I want to use both displays at the same time.

    how do i set up a second display for my iMac desktop?  I want to use both displays at the same time.  My iMac is the 24" Late 2006 model.  I recall that there is a cord for plugging in a second monitor, but I want to make sure that i can use both monitors side-by-side at the same time.  thank you.

    If the Display supports DVI, then you will need a > Mini-DVI to DVI Adapter and a DVI cable.
    If the Display only supports VGA, then you wiil need a > Mini DVI to VGA Adapter and a VGA cable.
    Noting that the (digital) DVI is far better than the (analog) VGA connection.

    Shoeb, hi.
    Thanks for replying and apologies for my tardiness in responding. I have just completed a re-creation of my web page using CSS/HTML rather than XML/XSLT and now I find that when saving in MHT format the watermark/background image is saved, which is nice, but trying to save it as 'webpage complete' under 'save as' in the browser still does not work. (For those who are new to Firefox, MHT files are not supported by the browser, but using the FF extention UnMHT one can open such files and save web documents as MHT files, meaning no accompanying folder is required to properly view the file.)

  • This is for people who wants to mirror all they apple devices when they travel.

    this is for people who wants to mirror all they apple devices when they travel and don't want to unplug everything from the apple tv and take it with them, you can get the amazon fire tv stick and download an app called airplay upnp or the reflector app and mirror all of your apple devices to it, it is great for traveling easy to setup and move around, for example if your traveling and want to use it in the conference room and then want to take with you back to the hotel for the night and plug it in and keep on doing that routine.
    it will be great to use hopeful until apple comes out apple with their own apple tv stick 

    The Verizon DVR is admittedly not the sharpest box on the market. I admit to giving up on the multi-room DVR product, it just never worked satisfactorily for me.
    Hopefully features/functions issues  will improve in the near term with the Cisco/Scientific Atlanta box that obviously isn't going to make Q1. I admit I have ceased  holding my breath. Something does have to happen fairly soon because 160gb drives are literally going out of production.
    You do however make two statements that incorrect. Current TiVO's only need 1 cable card, since the standard cable card today in Verizon's stock  is the M-Card. You also have the option with TiVO of paying either an annual fee, or a one time fee, both of which are lower in the long term than the month to month fee. Alternatively you can by the Moxi DVR, and it includes lifetime service in the purchase price.
    While in theory a truck roll costs $79, in practice if it is for a Cable Card install, it is free (I think  FCC regulations preclude the charge).
    Apparently there is nothing in Verizon's order processing system that tells reps that there is no charge for Cable Card installations, so they often quote the $79 fee because that is the standard charge for technician to come out. As far as I can tell (and there have been lots of posts about cable card installs), no one has in fact been charged the $79 fee..

  • I cannot swipe up on my iPad to get to control centre.  I want to mirror to Apple TV.  this is the most frsutrating thing. No wonder Microsift rules

    I cannot swipe up on my iPad to get to control centre.  I want to mirror to Apple TV.  this is the most frsutrating thing. No wonder Microsift rules

    Is notification center showing up when you swipe down ?
    Check in your settings if control center is checked :
    Settings > control center > check both "lock screen" and "access within apps"
    gently swipe up beginning outside the screen, just a few inches up (you don't need to swipe up to the top of the screen.
    if detected the airplay option will appear in the control center.

  • I want to know why display core dump when arch starts!

    I want to know why display core dump when arch starts!
    2008. 06 iso!
    u can see display coredump in starting......

    GAH, you silly people!
    Now I'm going to have to go off and write a program that selects a random string from a file to show on startup!
    (I'll probably fill the file with all the Arch snapshot names)
    EDIT: I should mention that you're silly because you managed to get me following a random compulsion.
    EDIT AGAIN: Done! I now get a random snapshot name in that spot whenever my system boots. I can post the script if anyone wants it, it's three lines.
    EDIT ONE LAST TIME: Oh wait, three lines and a extra file full of snapshot names.

  • I have a table that I want to mirror on another sheet in Numbers

    I have a table that I want to mirror on another sheet in Numbers.  Ideally it would be from another file but it looks like numbers doesn't support this right now. 
    It would be used to combine several regions into one national table file.  Is doing the = for each cell the most efficient way to do this?  Below is a screenshot of how my data is formatted.  This list would be around 30 rows but it could be anywhere from 1 - 150 for each of 8 regions each having their own table.  I want to combine all of those into a master list for the national file. 
    It also appears that the checkmark box for data does not copy as well.  It returns false but formatting it back into a checkbox loses the = functionallity and it won't update. 

    Hi Brandon,
    Rather than having eight regional tables and then struggling to consolidate them, have you considered having one table and then extracting regional views and data from it?  In many situations that can be more efficient.
    To get a regional view from the master table you could use a filter, something like this (substitute Region for Type):
    And extract sums and counts using a summary table for each region, something like this:

    i want to mirror my iphone4 to a hd device using the hdmi adapter bought from an apple store but i donnot want to jailbreak my iphone4?

    The iPhone 4 does not support mirroring.
    However, you can still output video from supported Apps using the adapter. Apps such as the videos App, and the Phots App in slideshow mode will output video through the adapter.
