Installing Cintiq with Imac; trapped in dual-screen **** -please help!

Attempting to install a Cintiq 12X on my Imac for the benefit of my artist daughter. There appears to be something wrong with the Cintiq, but that's not my problem. I switched my main screen from the Imac to the Cintiq, just to see if my desktop would come up on the Cintiq. It did. But the pen is unresponsive, and there is NO WAY to recover use of my main screen without unplugging the Cintiq from the MiniDisplay port. When plugged in, my desktop displays on the Cintiq, but there is no way to open any files or affect anything with the pen. On the main screen, mouse still works, but there's no way to reach system preferences to change my main screen back.  Any ideas?

Actually, if you place the mouse to far end corners, in my case, on to the right, the mouse will jump to the cintiq screen. From there i could go back to apple, then system preference and change my laptop back to primary display.
For the unresponsive pen, it was due to the software. Wacom told me to delete the wacom software i previously installed in utilities, then re-downloaded and reinstalled the one they told me to. Then the wacom pen came to life.
I hope this helps anyone who runs into trouble like this.

    Try starting up with your Snow Leopard DVD and see if the disk can be repaired. Once you are at the installer screen go to the Utilities Menu and choose Disk Utility and choose repair disk. You might also want to try Diskwarrior.
    Hope this helps.

    I am sorry Erickkasner but there is no longer direct support provided for Creative Suite 5.5 installation issues.
    You are welcome to post any specific errors you are able to discover within your installation log to this discussion.  Since you are using Windows then Exit Code 15 could mean one of the following:
    Installer database is corrupted
    Update pending to your operating system
    Improper permissions set for the Media.db
    The installation log file should provide additional insight into the exact error you are experiencing.  Please make sure to use the find command to look for the words 'ERROR' and 'FATAL' to locate the relevant error messages.

    Ive tried from my PC, and ive tried from another which runs Vista. Both pc's were tried using firefox, IE and chrome,and both had firewalls off and pop-ups allowed completely (I basically turned off all security). I checked for 3rd party software which could also cause "blocks" but all 3rd party software were eliminated. I even tried stopping and restarting windows installer in "computer management; services, services". Still no luck..... This is the first time that ive struggled downloading Itunes. The reason im trying to download itunes is because im attempting to restore my iphone 4.....

    Yes, that is your only option.Yes.  You have to restore.
    Try the following if you have difficulty restoring.
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I brought an iphone 4 factory unlock and it is linked with an icloud id of previous owner, i dont even know id of icloud , 1 week ago i restore my iphone 4 n got stuck in activation screen, please help me out please?

    i brought an iphone 4 factory unlock and it is linked with an icloud id of previous owner, i dont even know id of icloud , 1 week ago i restore my iphone 4 n got stuck in activation screen, please help me out please?

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for the original owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. No must contact the original owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the original owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

    Normally, you just connect the monitor to the MacBook using a VGA adaptor that you can buy from an Apple Store.  Now try System Preferences > Displays > Detect Displays.  You should now be able to select a display mode for the monitor.  If it still doesn't work, then I'd check that everything is properly connected.  I've had problems with colours disappearing due to a faulty connection in the VGA adaptor.

  • Choppy video on big screens  PLEASE HELP!

    I've noticed that the videos that I have exported from CS3 are very smooth when played on a computer screen and average size tv screen, but are very choppy if played on a large TV or projected on the wall.  Is there a way to remedy this?  Please help!
    Drew.

    I think I figured out the issue.  Thanks for all your advice.  I'll repost if I have any other problems.

    Drew,
    How is the large-screen projector connected, via a set-top DVD player to it, or by a computer connected to it? If it's via a set-top player, is it the same one used for the small-screen TV, or a different one? What is the make and model of the set-top player(s)?
    Also, what DVD media was used, and what was the burn speed used to create the DVD? Was this authored in Encore, or with some other authoring application?
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • After installing icloud, I can't open Photoshop CS, please help. I am an artist and need photoshop to work.

    After installing icloud, I can't open Photoshop CS, please help. I am an artist and need photoshop to work.

    Did you upgrade to Lion just before setting up iCloud? that's more likely to be the issue. PhotoShop CS2 is a PPC program and won't run on Lion - on Snow Leopard it requires Rosetta to emulate PPC, and this is not included in Lion. CS3 and lateer apparently work though with issues.
    Click on the program's icon in the Finder and hit command-i. Near the top of the pane it will say 'Kind': if it says 'PowerPC' then this is the problem. It will not run on Lion and there is no workaround. You will need to revert to Snow Leopard (you could install this on an external disk and start up from that).

    First we need to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you’re running 10.7 Lion). When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
    The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 model 6,1 and Mid 2010 model 7,1 White Unibody have a Mini DisplayPort. The Early 2006 model 1,1 through Early 2008 model 4,1s plus the Early and Mid 2009 model 5,2s have Mini-DVI ports. Each would take a different adapter to connect with the TV.
