Location of external display

I'm using 22" ViewSonic as a external display with my MacBok and it's working fine with one exception. It is on the left side of my MacBook and to move cursor or any window to it, i have to move in the oposite direction. I'm new to mac and know I was select physical location of external monitor, so it "makes logical sense". I cannot find this setting in OS X. Can anybody help please? Veny.

bd, thanks I've got it, it's working fine. In case there is somebody up there with same problem, I was looking at the right place (preferences), but on the wrong monitor. When you open preferences with both displays, you get individual windows on both but only primary display has the arrangement tab where you can drag secondary display to the right location...
many thanks to bd again..

Need to run a PowerBook with NO INTERNAL display on an External display

So basically I have a TiBook that has had the display removed. I plan to run the machine using my lcd tv. Well, after hooking everything up, all I get is a blue screen. I'm assuming that the computer is looking for the original display. How can I have the computer ignore the internal and run off the external only?
Message was edited by: kipiscool

Easiest way would be to place a small magnet over the spot in the TiBook where the magnet sensor is that detects when the lid is down. Do you still have the display? You can fish for where the magnet is located behind the display by putting it face-up on a table and using a paper clip at the end of a thread or piece of dental floss. Wherever the magnet is, the sensor would be located opposite of it.

Macbook Pro, how to reset invalid external display resolution?

Hi there. I have a question about the external display configuration.
I recently connected my 2011 Macbook Pro 13" (10.8.2 Mountain Lion) to an external HD-TV using Thunderbolt to VGA adapter. After connecting the TV had 1920x1200 resolution which made the text and everything look very tiny. So I thought I'd lower the resolution a bit. But then I messed up and accidentally changed the resolution and refresh rate for the external display to one that wasn't supported. So the TV went black and gave an error about an invalid resolution. At the same time, on my Macbook screen I had only the background image and display settings dialog. No mouse cursor, no menu bar, no dock etc. So I couldn't do anything.
I disconnected the Thunderbolt adapter and got my Macbook screen back to normal, but when I plugged it in again, the same thing happened. Invalid resolution on TV, just background image and display settings on Macbook screen.
Now, this was just before I was going to give a presentation and it resulted in a very awkward situation with me franticly re-plugging the Thunderbolt adapter and looking just completely clueless In the end I had to borrow my colleague's laptop.
So my question is: when this happens, is there a way I can reset / clear the external display settings back to defaults? They are obviously saved somewhere since replugging the Thunderbolt adapter didn't give me back my original resolution.

A PRAM reset should solve that:
From the article linked above:
Your Mac stores certain settings in a special memory area even if it is turned off. On Intel-based Macs, this is stored in memory known as NVRAM; on PowerPC-based Macs, this is stored in memory known as PRAM.
Information stored in NVRAM / PRAM includes:
Speaker volume
Screen resolution
Startup disk selection
Recent kernel panic information, if any
To reset your PRAM:
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Satellite L50-B-1P1 - external display is not working

I have just bought a satellite L50-B-1P1. When I tried to connect the RGB (VGA) port to a TV ( as a external monitor), the display screen of the laptop became smaller and the right part of the whole picture was missing, even when the external monitor was not switched on.
The laptop screen has left and right display a black background. The picture is located in the middle. Is this supposed to be normal or something is wrong with this laptop?
All answers are welcomed

As I understood the message, you have enabled the external display output and could see the picture on the TV.
The question is; what resolution the TV supported and what external output option did you choose?
The point is that you can switch to the external display choosing the option; extended desktop, clone display or you can switch off the internal display and show the picture only on external monitor TV.
In case you have cloned the display, both displays (internal + external) has to use the same resolution! In case the TV would support lower resolution, the internal notebook screen would lower the resolution too!
I would recommend you to read the user manual it provides some basic notebook knowledge

No signal to external display

I'm having trouble with connecting my Macbook Pro to my Samsung TV (via HDMI) to use as an external display. When I plug the HDMI cable into my laptop the screen flashes like it detects another display but then nothing changes and the TV still reads no signal. I've connected the laptop to a different TV and it worked just fine. I tried connecting a different laptop to the TV and that one didn't work either. I've also connected an AppleTV to my Samsung (the one I'm having issues with) using the HDMI cable that I'm trying to connect the laptop with and that worked as well. I've tried both the STB and DVI HDMI ports on the TV and neither of them work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
For more information:
It's a late 2013 Retina 13" Macbook Pro running OS X 10.9.4.
The TV is a Samsung UN29F4000.

MBP Retina shows wrong resolution on external display since 10.8.4

I have a MBP retina and I'm using it with an external display, Dell U2711, connected via a Mini-DP to DP cable. It all worked amazingly well until 10.8.4 came out. Now, when I connect the display, it no longer shows the correct 2560 X 1440 resolution, but shows 1080p. The displays preferences pane does not allow going over 1080p. It does recognize the display model, though.
It started with one port. The machine has two TB ports, so one of them worked fine and the other didn't (the one closer to the user was acting up). Then it degraded further to the second port. Now, if I plug and unplug several times and fiddle with the displays control panels, I might just get it right eventually. It takes some time, but eventually the machine gets it right. At least that's what I've been experiencing in the last few days.
I don't think it's a hardware issue. It's possible that my cable is at fault, but I seriously doubt that. I'm wondering if anyone else got the same problem, just checking before I go and splurge on a new cable (these cables are not easy to find).
Thanks,
Z

This worked for me:
Step 1: Delete system windowserver preferences
In the Finder, from the menu bar, select "Go -> Go to Folder..."
Enter: /Library/Preferences/
Delete the file called com.apple.windowserver.plist
Step 2: Delete user windowserver preferences
In the Finder, from the menu bar, select "Go -> Go to Folder..."
Enter: ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/
Delete all files that start with com.apple.windowserver (On my rMBP, there was one file called com.apple.windowserver.12AFB147-95D6-5C70-8F62-C1E4F2BE81BE)
Step 3: Reset the PRAM (These instructions are fromhttp://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379)
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

External Display won't go Fullscreen

I have an Intel-based iMac running Snow Leopard with an external display connected. I want to display fullscreen video on the external display but I'm having problems. Specifically, here is what happens:
Firstly, the displays are not mirrored - which is how I want it.
Secondly, if I pop up an application - e.g. Safari running some flash video - then go to fullscreen, the video displays on the iMac screen - which is what I would expect. However, if I drag the window to the external monitor and then go fullscreen, the iMac monitor (not the external) goes fullscreen - not want I want.
I've found that I move the menu bar to the external monitor (via system prefs) then the external does indeed go fullscreen - but that's not what I want.
So my question is: how do I keep the menu bar on the iMac but the fullscreen video on the external?
Can anyone advise what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks.

I had this problem with an early version of Safari 4. One of the updates fixed it. Are you using the current 4.0.4?
Also, does this happen if you do the same thing with FireFox, Camino, or other browser? How about iTunes, QuickTime Player, or DVD Player?
If it's only in Safari, you can also try trashing the Safari user preference file. It is located at
<user home folder>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
With Safari not running, move the file to your Desktop, then run Safari so that a new preference file is created.
Note: Some apps have a setting in their preferences that controls which screen gets the +full screen+. So no matter where the window is located, that screen gets the full screen. Safari is NOT one of them.

Display issue coming out of sleep (w/ external display)

Hey everyone,
I've a MacBook Pro with Retina display. running 10.8.2 (and Win7 x64, via Bootcamp).
I somtimes experience trouble coming out of sleep with no external display connected, if the MacBook was connected to an external display when I sent it to sleep and the integrated display's brightness was turned all the way down. Basically, the MacBook's integrated display won't light up. I then need to hold down the power button until the machine powers off, and start it up again. Only then will the display come on, and the machine start normally.
I've been observing this with both an external Thunderbolt Display, and a TV connected through the HDMI port. I don't think this is a Mac OS issue, as I've seen similar behavior on this same machine, running Windows, under Bootcamp.
An example scenario: I'll be using the Thunderbolt Display, or watching a movie on my TV, with the integrated display's brightness turned all the way down, and then, while the display is still connected, I will close the lid - The machine will go to sleep. I will then come the next day, and while the computer is asleep, disconnect the external display, and open the lid. The MacBook's integrated display will not light up, the brightness keys will not respond, and I will need to force-shutdown the machine, and start it again - it will then start up, and usually fall back to the lowest display resolution setting (even though I always use much higher resolutions on both the integrated and external displays).
I'm guessing this is happening because the computer is expecting the external display that was connected to it, during its last operation, to still be available, and when it's not - it panics!
Also, I had times where this happened, and a force-shutdown would not do the trick. I had to actually connect back to the external display, wait for the machine to start normally, take the integrated display's brightness back up, and disconnect the external display. The machine would then resume normal operation, and I would be able to disconnect the external display and work on the integrated display.
Has anyone else experienced this, or anything similar?

There we go. Here's the complete Console report, up until the reboot, which fixed things. I can't make anything out of this, but perhaps someone else can.

Internal/External displays blank when external connected while sleeping

When I connect my external display to my MBP (late 2011) while it's sleeping, the MBP awakens but both the internal & external display are blank.
The MBP is running ML and is connected to external display via DVI. No response to external Logitech keyboard or internal keyboard. Currently my only recourse is to ssh in from a co-located Vista machine & 'sudo reboot'.
If MBP has recently been used (say < 5 min or so), everything's fine -- external display fires up & external KBD/Mouse work.
I'd be interested in any way to prevent this problem if I forget to open MBP for a moment before connecting Power/DVI/USB. Alternately, a command
I could issue via SSH to reinitialize display would be great.
Thanks. Kent

Pleased ignore this thread - managed to double post somehow ....? Sorry

View contents of external display on main display (PIP-style)

I occasionally connect a TV to my MacBook Pro to watch movies and TV shows. The problem is that I cannot see the TV from where the computer is located. The computer must stay in this location in order to remain connected to the external HD and A/V receiver. I'm looking for a way to monitor what's on the external display from the main display so I can more easily drag and position windows onto it. Sort of like having a small picture-in-picture style window in the corner. I don't believe this is possible natively, but are there any third-party products that could achieve this?
Thanks in advance.

None that I have ever heard of.

External display TV flickering

I am using my tv as a external display. im running it from my iMac mini display port to a hdmi converter. the screen is flickering about every 10 secs. any ideas?

It could be a simple fix, like what happened to me.
I realized that by having my iPhone too close to the computer caused my 2nd monitor to flicker.
As it turns out, the iPhone internal OS is constantly sending out signals, checking for updates, location changes, all kinds of stuff… even when it is OFF.
Other electronic devices being too close could also be the cause like radios, neon lights or even the flickering christmas tree lights on the house next door ?
Try to swap cables with alternates if possible, try a different TV ?
There are tons of posts here with flickering iMacs even just up-graders to Mavericks.
Good luck, and let us know if you find out anything.

The dock indicator lights look fairly dim on the MBA display, but bright on external displays (LCD TVs for example). Any fixes?

(MacBook Air mid-2012)
As stated in the title, I've noticed the indicator lights on the dock which represent an open/running application looking fairly dim as opposed to the previous dock design in Lion. After a little look around on the internet, there are some others who are having a similar issue, but I've noticed that upon connecting the laptop to external displays (monitors and LCD TVs), they look extremely bright and noticeable on that particular screen.

https://discussions.apple.com/message/19126554#19126554 This thread appears to address the same issue, yet its odd how the dock "raises" if connected to an external display in my case. I'm considering locating the image files used to display the dock indicators and photoshopping them to be brighter.

Color managemnt icc profiles on external display

I have an asus laptop running windows 7. I currently have Photoshop cs5.1 extended as well as lightroom3. I just purchased an external monitor (wide Gamut Asus PA246q) I do most of my editing and corrections on this monitor. I use the spyder4pro for calibration software on both my external and laptop monitor. I know the laptop monitor is not a great editing monitor, but I calibrated it anyway. Realizing its limitations, I use the external monitor for all use in Photoshop. My laptop display is set up as my “main display” in windows 7 and with my Nvidia GeForce GTX 560m card.
Here is where I need some clarification. There is some conflicting info out there and this has me confused.
When running Photoshop cs5 on my external monitor, if I look under the color settings in my working color space, it lists the monitor RGB profile as my laptop display. Does this mean that my external monitor is using the laptop profile? Some say yes, others no… if this is the case is there any way to fix this other that making my external display my “primary display”? I haven’t noticed the external monitor to have any color shifts or inaccurate colors, but I want to be sure Photoshop is correctly choosing the external monitors profile and outputting accurate colors.. Some clarification would be nice..
As I mentioned earlier, I also use lightroom as well. This too is located on my external monitor this should not be an issue either correct? Any help would be great… thanks for taking your time to comment, it is greatly appreciated

The working space has no relation to your display profile. Each display has a profile, and documents are converted to that profile when being drawn.

Change settings for external displays: no "mirror displays" mode

Hello,
I'm using a 13" MBP with Snow Leopard. I'm using different displays and projectors in different locations. When you plug an external display in, the two displays are first in "mirror displays" mode. First thing I do is to switch this off.
Is there any way of changing the settings, so that an external display doesn't start in the synchronized mode??
Thanks in advance.

only if you plug in this projector again. If you plug in a new projector (which I often do) it allways starts in "mirrored" mode.
I just found an app which - at least - makes the switching easier:
