MiniDisplay to HDMI : How to turn off the Dual Monitor output when..

miniDisplay to HDMI : How to turn off the Dual Monitor output when the adapter is attached and the TV is off ? And will keeping the adapter connected even if it is not in use, cause damage to the adapter ?

I have my external monitor/tv setup of the left. If I leave the adapter attached with the TV off, I am still able to cross the border/boundry of my MBP screen ! As instead of detecting a TV, the MBP is detecting the adapter as a screen. I do not want to damage my thunderbolt/miniDisplay port by plugging and unpluggin the unit each and every time.

  • How to turn off the brush transparency view when resizing the brush on CC?

    So, when Adobe introduced the "brush preview" when using the Control+Option drag to change the brush size/hardness (not sure if it's called this way), I was ecstatic! It made my workflow much faster without having to go to the menu to change the brush size or to the bracket keys. Now on CS6 they added a feature that basically broke that for me. Now it not only shows the size/hardness, but it also shows the transparency. It  sounds like a great idea, and it is when you work with bigger opacities, but I work a lot with opacities below 10% and it basically becomes invisible, so it's hard to know if I'm using a hard/soft brush when adjusting the brush size. Is there a way to turn just the transparency preview off?
    Thanks!

    OK.  Looks like it is me that is confused, but I thought it should have been Cmd plus Option, but Jullieanne Kost mentiones Control Option in this post

    Which points to this old thread where we discussed the feature about 18 months ago

    So other than changing the HUD setting in General Preferences, there does not appear to be a really nice solution.  Noel points out that it should be doable, and I agree that it would be nice.  It is kind of ironic that we have reached a state where even keyboard shortcuts are too clunky to use, but the mouse option is such a nice feature, it would be great to extend its functionality.

  • How to Turn Off the Auto-Select Function When Clicking In a Document?

    Whenever I click my cursor within any document (Mail, Text, this post) sometimes an entire word is selected (highlighted in blue) rather than the cursor just being there blinking & ready for me to type. If I click again the entire line is selected, then the whole paragraph.
    This is VERY frustrating when all I want to do is place my cursor within the document to edit or begin typing. If I'm not careful and click in a document and just start typing, the auto-selected text is deleted. Yikes!
    Only my Mac Mini with the Leopard OS 10.5.8 does this, not my PowerBook w. Tiger OS 10.4.11. Thanks for any advice on this.

    Correct, Sig.
    When I checked the Double-Click speed in prefs, it was set all the way to the left -- SLOW. When I set it half-way to the right, problem was solved. Thanks much.

  • How do you turn off the auto select behavior when working with shape layers?

    How do you turn off the auto select behavior when working with shape layers?
    I am using either of the path selection tools to select only some of the paths on the layer. I have the proper layer targeted. I have the selection too auto select option turned off.
    If another layer has a path in that area, that layer becomes auto targeted and I get the wrong path. Turning off the layer is the only way to avoid this but then I have to  turn on the layer back on between making my selection and transforming to use the other layer as guide. Is there any way to stop this auto select? Locking the other layer does not stop the auto select, just prevents editing.

    As far as i know the move tool options don't have any effect on the path selection tools.
    You might try clicking on one of the path points or on the path itself with one of path selection tools and if you want to select multiple points
    you can shift click with the Direct Selection Tool or Alt click to select the entire path.
    more path shortcuts:

    Unfortunately there is no on off switch.
    The best you can do is sleep the display or

    You can try it.

    The only way you can turn it off is to close the lid - so you would need an external wired or wireless keyboard and mouse/trackpad attached.
