Maverick = bye bye to second display viewer :-(

Well sadly you cannot use the second display as a video viewer anymore, even with the old iMovie (9.0.9) since upgrading to Maverick.
I wished I had knew that prior to upgrading. Is that a subtle way to push me to buy Final Cut Pro?

You should be able to still use a second display with iMovie 9.0.9.
I agree that it is sad that the latest version of iMovie has fewer features than iMovie 9.0.9.
After upgrading to Mavericks and installing iMovie 10, I was happy to see that my previous version was not removed and was in a folder appropriately named "iMovie 9.0.9.
When I retreated to iMovie 9.0.9, it seemed that I could no longer view in a second display. But I was able to get my second display to work by going to preferences and selecting "Show Advanced Tools." Then under the Window menu item, the "Viewer on Other Display," was activated.
I depend upon using a second display when editing in iMovie; therefore, I will continue to use 9.0.9 for some of my projects and fcpx for others.

Viewer on second display, but also on main display?

Hi!
I use a MacBook Pro as second display for my iMac.
I know that it's possible to show the viewer on a second display but
I was asking myself if it is possible to show the viewer on my second display,
but also keep the viewer on my main display?
So I have a normal window with viewer, event, timeline etc. and, on the second display just a viewer.
I searched for that but I didn't find anything about that on the internet.
Would be nice if someone had that problem to and knows how to solve it!
Thank you!

I asked this same question on here a while ago and never got a response: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20987858#20987858
So it looks like nobody on here knows a way to have it set up this way, and it may not be possible until more updates come out, but I would like to know if there's a way to ask Apple/Final Cut developers or technicians themselves instead of on a public forum. Then maybe we might get an answer.

Three-Way Color Corrector Eyedropper Tool Not Working on Second Display in OSX Maverick

Hello,
Since updating to Mavericks at work on Monday, I have been unable to use the Three-Way Color Corrector's eyedropper tool on a dual-screen setup in Premiere Pro CC.
I have all of my panels, apart from my Program monitor panel, on one display. When I select the Three-Way Color Corrector's white balance eyedropper and go to the second display where my Program panel is, it turns back into an arrow and doesn't allow me to select anything. When I move my Program panel to the same display as the others it lets me use it as normal. Unfortunately that is not how I work and I would like the program to function as normal.
I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and discovered a solution. I will submit a bug report right now.
Thank you.

Hi Punker,
Thanks for posting the workaround. This is a known issue that we're investigating. Fow now the workaround is to:
Goto> System Preferences>Mission Control.
Un-tick "Displays Have Separate Spaces"
Logout or Re-boot system.
The issues should be resolved.

IMac 11.3 as second display in Maverick, just shows a black screen

I'm trying to reuse my iMac 11.3 mid 2010 (ATI HD 5750) as second display for my MacPro 1.1 (ATI HD5770 + 24" Cinema) through a mini display cable. This used to work fine in 10.8. Now both computers are upgraded to 10.9 and iMac only shows a black screen when pressing Cmd+F2 on the iMac.
Any hints appreciated besides this is only supported for +2011 models

Yes I agree it is something wrong with Safari, but WHAT?
I have two macs sitting beside each other, both running Safari pointed at a .pdf file; one runs adobe just fine, the other shows black.
No amount of pawing through the Preferences tree shows me anything remotely relevant.

How to turn a Macbook Pro into a second display for another Macbook Pro

So my school just gave me a Macbook Pro and I already have a Macbook Pro. I would like to know if I could turn my school Macbook Pro into a second display for my regular Macbook Pro. Thank You!
Both Macs are running Mavericks 10.9.4

If you need administrative access and it is denied to you, then there is no way, as ScreenRecycler and AirDisplay do need administrative access to be installed.

Hi, I use BootCamp for my windows 7, I have a Macbook Pro 2012, and I want to use a second display, is this possible with my Mac using Windows?

I just dont see a port usable for a second screen. I want to hook it up to my TV to view photos and movies. What can I do?

What do you mean you don't see a port? Does your computer have a HDMI or a ThunderBolt/Mini Display port? You can use these to add a second display. Which one you use depends on what input ports your tv has.

Am I able to add a second display (LED TV) to my iMac via my network?

I have a 21.5 inch Late 2009 iMac (too old for Mirroring to Apple TV). I would like to be able to use my LED TV as a second display, so that effectively I can view non-iTunes media in my lounge room. I currently have the iMac connected to an Airport Extreme via Ethernet cable. I have an Airport Express also connected to the Extreme via Ethernet cable in Bridge Mode in the lounge room. I am wondering if it is possible to connect the TV via Ethernet cable to the Express (the TV has a network connection input), and then be able to use the TV as a second display for the iMac. I know I can do this if I connect the TV directly to the iMac via Ethernet, just am unable to determine if I can do it via the two Airport devices - I guess I am wanting to make the TV a "Network Display". I do also have an Apple TV connected via HDMI cable to that TV. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The easiest way would be to set up a seperate user account. That user would have their own iTunes with their own Library.

Second display won't work on mac partition but works on windows

Hey I have a 21.5" imac from mid 2011 and have recently update to OS X Mavericks.
I bought a mini dp to hdmi to connect a second monitor up to my imac a month or so ago. At the time I was running 10.6.8 and thought that may be why it wasn't picking up the second display.
All the while the second monitor has been working fine on my windows 7 partition.
Hoping anyone can shed some light on this.
Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to give

Using a macbook pro as a second display for an imac using a thunderbolt to thunderbolt cable

I know I can use TDM to use an imac as a second display for a MBP with a thunderbolt to thunderbolt cable. Is there any work around to use a MBP as a second display for an imac with a thunderbolt to thunderbolt cable?
15" MBP w/retina running maverick 10.9.4
21" imac running maverick 10.9.4

No; the MacBook Pro doesn't support video in. If desired, use a product such as ScreenRecycler over a network.

Main screen and dock move to second display

Hi all,
although i found many replies regarding to how to get the dock to the desired screen i face the following problem.
I am a vj/dj using serato dj, mix emergency and madmapper. Whenever i connect a second display to my macbook (macbook pro early 2013 retina, now on OS 10.9) the main screen and dock is transferred to that second display (e.g. projector). These softwares need to run to the main screen only, and this should be my laptop's screen.
Even if i get the dock back to my macbook display, these softwares recognise as MAIN display the external one and not my macbook pro's display.
I am facing this problem since my OS upgrade to 10.9 from 10.8!
Can i do something to my macbook so as to always recognise its own display as the main display? Does this problem exist on Yosemite as well?
Can i downgrade to 10.8 if all the rest fail?
Regards

Hi konstadinos.k,
I understand you want your MacBook Pro to be the default display for your DJ software when you have a second display connected to it. Take a look at the article below that explains all of the options for extending or mirroring your displays. I've highlighted some key information below that may be helpful in your situation. Even though the article is for Mavericks, the info should still be applicable.
OS X: Using multiple displays in Mavericks - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202780
You can also assign an app to a specific display space from the app's menu in the Dock. Windows assigned to a space always open there when the display you specified is connected.
The blue boxes in Displays preferences represent each display that's connected. The size of each box is relative to the current resolution of each display. In this example, the smaller box on the left is the display of a 13" MacBook Pro while the larger box on the right represents the Apple 27" Thunderbolt Display.
Drag any of the blue boxes to change the location of a display in relation to your additional screens. You can use this feature to make sure your connected displays match their real world location when navigating windows. The white bar at the top of the blue box represents the menu bar. Drag the white bar onto the blue box representing the display you want as your primary display.
Hope that helps ...

Adding Second Display... Do I Need A More Powerful Card?

Hello everybody...
I purchased my powermac for editing purposes and I'm currently working off of a Samsung 24" LCD. I'm now ready to get my second display, which will most likely be a 32" LDC TV (sos I can use it as a TV as well as a display). Anyway, my Mac's rockin the ATI X800 XT (DVI + Apple Display Port). Will my card have enough juice to power these displays simultaneously? I know that the specs claim that the card can handle a 23" and a 30" together, but obvously I will be 3" over that claim...
Any help whatsoever is greatly appreciated
THANKS
Ben

the problem that you're going to have is that large lcd tvs just don't look that great up close. they're designed to be viewed from at least 4 times the screen size (unlike your mac display which is almost certainly no more than 1.5 times the size.
we have 2 x 28" and 1 x 32" sharp aquos tvs here and even with a dvi connection the display is really not suitable for viewing up close.
the other thing to consider is that personally i wouldn't like to make edit or colour decisions using an lcd display. you need a well calibrated crt display or better still a broadcast monitor.

Can't set 'Blank' on Second display

I've found that I can't set the second display to be plain blank, it still shows images the same as if it was set to 'Alternate'. I can set it to Desktop, but I prefer it to be plain black at times and not be a distraction.
Anybody else got this?
(yes, I've sent a feedback)

The implementation of dual display modes is ... indecipherable. It works, it just doesn't work in a way that I've been able to make sense of. The modes themselves are odd, the times when one can access the modes are odd, the changes in both of those betw. regular (windowed) and full-screen behavior are odd, and don't even start to think about how Aperture handles dual displays when you move the main window to your secondary display.
Here is what works for me, for "Blank" mode.
. Keep Aperture on your main display.
. Keep Aperture in regular (windowed) mode.
. Change to Browser view (not Split View or Viewer)
. "View→Secondary Viewer (note the wording!)→Blank" should now be available. Select it. Your second monitor should go blank (mine shows an 18% gray, but that could be my desktop setting).
Here's where it gets exciting. If you select an image in the Browser, the secondary viewer (usually) stays blank. If you double-click and change to Viewer mode, the secondary viewer stays blank. If you now double-click and return to browser mode, the selected image is shown on the secondary viewer even though "View→Secondary Viewer→Blank" is still selected. Press "v" to change to Split view, and the secondary viewer returns to a blank display. As long as you alternate betw. Viewer and Split views, the secondary viewer will remain blank. As soon as you switch to Browser, the selected images will show on the secondary viewer.
The take-away is
1. "Blank" doesn't really work, and
2. If the selections for Secondary Viewer are grayed-out, change to Browser view and try them again.

Mouse moving to second display when off

I have a late 2012 iMac running Mavericks with a Samsung SyncMaster as a second display. When the 2nd monitor is turned off (manually from the power button on the monitor) my mouse pointer will still move to that display. I personally don't use the 2nd display, but my husband and kids do but on their own logins. I've unchecked the "displays have separate spaces" in mission control, unplugged and plugged the monitor back in, and with every restart it still does it. Any ideas how to prevent this? It's get really annoying when I can't find the pointer and have to move the mouse for what seems like forever to get it visible again.

I want to add the second display is connected to the iMac via mini display port to DVI adapter, plugged into thunderbolt port.

How to remove second display on settings

I have a Macbook Pro 13inch and a Samsung LED TV. Last time i used to view my work on the large screen using HDMI cable, with same resolution on MBP and the TV. Now, when i connect the HDMI, the MBP screen resolution distorts and widens and the TV resolution compress a bit. What could be the problem? And i want to get rid of the second display on my settings. Some rubbish app automatically installed the second display. Please help me.

The settings lockout would be controlled through the EWS (embedded web server) of the printer. The lockout is really designed for the Officejet printers to prevent others from making printer changes that could affect how the printer behaves. For example, to keep the date and time set to that faxes show an accurate receive time.
Get the printer's IP address by pressing the network icon at the top of the screen.
Enter this IP address into the address bar of a web browser on a computer. The printer's status page should load. If you receive any certificate warnings, choose the option that lets you continue anyway.
Click on Settings and then go to Administrator Settings on the left. Many of the features of the front panel are controlled here. Make sure everything is checked except for Control Panel Lock. Once this is set, click apply.
Power off the printer for at least 1 minute and then power it back on to force the new setting to take effect.
You could also try setting the date and time under preferences on the left of the settings page, but it sounds like the lockout issue is more widespread than just date and time.
The Admin settings page should look similar to this screenshot when it is set the way it should be.

What controls which screen is the 'Second Display

I have 4 screens on my mac
Two identical cards , each with two outputs.
3 monitors in panorama, with the 42 inch TV above the three
Today when i started, I selected Windows | Show Event sonSecond display...the Events panel popped up on the big TV screen, not where I had expected it,on the LHS. So I though it may be because of the way the screens were plugged in to the machine, so I reconfigured, swapping the TV cable with the LH screen cable.
All worked all, for 8 -8 hours. with the events n the LH screen.
I have not touched the cables again.
Now I re boot the Mac ..and fire up FCP again...and the Events have gone back up to the TV screen.
Am I going to have to swap cables each time , I want to start FCP or is there anther way? maybe eFCP X is just not really designed for multiple screens I guess?
Any hep appreciated
Google searches on this have come up fruitless yet again.

Hi guys
yes arrangement in Sys preferences is correct,
the mouse tracks across them
all as expected.
this is a pre Thunderbolt machine, 2008 3.1 mac pro tower.
Two identical Apple ATI 2600
cards. Two DVI ports onbeach
It is weird and there does not seem to be any logic or reason to what happens. I can swap the leads over, and each monitor in Sys Prefs keeps its place, desktop icons and backgroind maintain their corrrct arrsngement per monitor. So LH desktop backgroind will stay on LH screen, no matter what port its cable is plugged into.
Yet, you do a reboot & swap a few minutes later and it is totally random in sys preferencex.
FCP X will seem to randomly choose any of the other screens as its second display..
I know with launching an app from Spotlight, the app tends to open in tjd screen where the mouse is active, no matter which screen Sotlight was launched from.
I have multiscreen setup as 'Spaces' so each has its own Dock and Taskbar.
THis machine has Mavericks 10.9.5 on. I am quite scared to try Yosemite on it for fear of what else they have broken since 10.6. Laptop has Yosemite on it but not mutlimonitor capable.
this is definetly an FCP X issue rather than OS related. I can fire up Adobe Lightroom, and without fail it chooses the LH screen as its second monitor.
I Have a Premier Pro disk kicking aroind somewhere, may have to give that a try and see if that supports multi screen,

Maverick = bye bye to second display viewer :-(
