More than one external screen
Hello, I'm an owner of Macbook Pro (2.5GHz) i have an external screen plugged in by DVI on my macbook, I'm wandering if i can plugin another one display into my mac, i really would like to have my mac in the middle and one screen on the left and one on the right, it would be very helpful for my work.
I thought the new macbookpro (late 2008) offers dual-link DVI. from my understanding that would allow two separate screens (DVI of course) to be connected. I am planning to purchase my Mini DisplayPort to dual link DVI but I have no idea if it will work the way I imagine it to be. I have 2x 19" Dell 1908FP that has a combined dimension of 2560x1024pixels. The maximum resolution as listed on the tech specs of the Macbook pro list it as 2560 by 1600 supported by the Dual-link DVI. Remember that Dual Link DVI Adapter and the single DVI adapter are two separate products!
Please check out this link for the Dual Link DVI Adaptor:

More than one external display possible?
Hey all,
I was wondering if there was a way of running more than one external monitor from my Macbook. I use the Macbook in my home recording studio for Logic Pro 8 but the screen is quite small to work with. I would love to work with dual external monitors so i do not have to look at the macbook screen at all.
I'm guess this is not possible considering the Macbook only has one mini-DVI out ??
Thanks for all your time reading this,
Steve.

You will have to settle for what I have done - have a dual screen set up with one screen being an external monitor and the other being your little Macbook screen. I have tried to make the most of this compromise by just going for the biggest external TFT that I found affordable on ebay (20").
Its a petty no monitor manufacturer came up with the idea of 'daisy chaining' screens!

How to load and unload more than one external swf files in different frames?
I do not have much experience on Adobe Flash or Action Script 3, but I know the basics.
I am Arabic language teacher, and I design an application to teach Arabic, I just would like to learn how to load and unload more than one external swf files in different frames.
ThanksLook into using the Loader class to load the swf files. If you want to have it happen in different frames then you can put the code into the different frames.

Error 5006: can't have more than one externally visible definition
Hi
I'm getting this error:
5006: An ActionScript file can not have more than one
externally visible definition: AMReports, playSound.
playSound is a function in my main document class
The error occured after I added a MovieClip and FLV component
to my the same framemain timeline. This Movie Clip has 3 frames.
I'll be using cue points added to the FLV component to move this
from frame to frame in that MovieClip.
Any one have an idea why this is happening?
Thanks.I fixed this problem: a brace was in the wrong place.

Using more than one external drive with apple tv and itunes
I've searched the forums and haven't found a clear answer for this. Is it possible to use two seperate drives for the itunes library? I've already filled up my external firewire drive and would like to get another one.
I've read in several places that people are doing this, but haven't found clear instructions on how its done.
Much thanks!
Brown.RecluseI don't think you can have more then one folder designated as you itunes library folder, so you can not have more then one drive for your library folder. However you can use more than one drive for you content. I have 6 drives that I use right now. I store the movies and tv shows on those drives. I drag a movie into then library tab in itunes and it just links itunes to the path of the movie. To do this however you have to unclick a option in itunes. It is the menu that you tell the path to you library, you have to unclick “copy to your library” not sure if this is the exact name of this. If you don't do this it will try to copy the movie you dragged in instead of linking it. I actually have nothing in my Itunes library folder. You can also do this with purchased content as well. Just move the purchase content to a drive of your choice from the itunes library. Delete it from itunes. Then drag it into itunes from the new drive. I hope this all makes sense, let me know if you have any other questions.

How to link more than one external HDD to be recognized as one HDD
for the past 10 years or so i have been unintentionally collecting external HDD. some of them are 2T others are 250GB. is there a way to merge all of the drives so they are recognized as one single drive?
It is inevitable that someone will suggest using one of your extra drives to make a clone of your startup disk. This is a useful thing to have since it makes "regressing" to a former state of that drive possible, but it is important to understand how a clone differs from an archival backup strategy.
Basically, clones are functionally identical copies of volumes. (Drives may be partitioned into more than one volume, so each would have to be cloned individually to another volume to clone them all.) As generally & most practically implemented, clones are in effect snapshots of the state of a volume at some point in time. This means that any problems in the cloned volume will also be present in its clone, plus any problems that might result from an imperfect cloning process.
Thus, it is important that the clone is tested thoroughly before relying on it. If a clone of a boot volume, this means making sure that it will boot the computer & its system behaves normally as well as that it is free of any file system problems. This can take quite a bit of time -- it is easy to get complacent after a few clones have proved to be reliable & skip the testing, but if you are relying on it for backup this is not wise.
Also note that unless the cloning software has some provision for retaining old & deleted file versions -- and you use it -- each time you clone the volume you will lose those items, since the clone is intended to be a copy of the state of the drive at the time of cloning. So for example, if you overwrite an important file with another of the same name & file path by accident, you cannot retrieve the original one. Even if the software has a provision to retain the changes, it is not likely to do so in a way that makes it as easy to find or manage those file versions as with dedicated archival backup software.
Arguably, the best software for archiving is Leopard's Time Machine, with its spiffy user interface that makes it easy to see the state of the volume at any backed up previous time. And like most other archival backup software, it allows you to pick & choose what not to back up, & can backup files from multiple volumes onto a single one.
This type of software does not create a bootable volume like a clone does, so having both is a pretty good idea, especially when updating or upgrading the OS. -
Is it possible to equip a MBP with more than one external monitor
I am having one 17" monitor connected with my MBP right now. There'a a plan to buy new monitor and I don't wanna dispose my current one. Does anyone connect your laptop with more than one monitor?
I tried to search apple site about some cable that enable MBP to connect to more than one monitor, but haven't found any yet.Yes, you can. But you have to use a third party hardware:

Can iTunes utilize more than one external hard drive at once?
A couple of years ago we had the bright idea to get a mac mini with an external hard drive and load it up with movies and such, so when we wanted to watch a tv show or movie, we could just scroll through the titles and pick without having to deal with the actual DVD (the mini is hooked up to a flatscreen tv). Needless to say, this monster has grown to epic proportions and we have since upgraded to 2 external hard drives (totaling 5 TB), and we now use another program that utilizes both hard drives without problem.
The issue I am having is that we bought an AppleTV tonight, and have not had any problems getting iTunes to see the movies in the "Movies" External HD, but the tv shows are on another External HD and they take up a little more than 345 GB of space. I kinda liked having the two drives separate, but was wondering if there was a way to make the mini think these two drives were just one? I know it is a strange question, but I can't think of a solution at this point.
Is there a way to tell iTunes to look in two locations for content?I am wondering if this set-up will work if I daisy chain the external drives. My iTunes library is stored on a 1.5 TB external drive. I have about 350 GB of storage left. I have been trying to find a way to add a drive instead of replacing the drive with a larger drive. If I can daisy chain, this will allow me to add storage without losing another firewire port. I just want to make sure this all works before I attempt any changes. Thank you.

Hi folks,
I have a older model 1TB TC that has been running just fine for over three years now. When it was first set up, I connected three additional hard drives to it via the USB port on the back using a powered D-Link USB hub as an intermediary. With the old Airport utility, this was not a problem. I was able to set it up so all three drive's contained volumes were seen and mounted as shared volumes on my network's clients' OSs (mix of Wins and OS X).
However, as time has gone on, the attached drives have become full. I don't want to remove any of the existing drives as they contain various family members' media and destinations for Time Machine backups. What I would like to do is to add an additional 4TB Western Digital My Book drive to the collection.
Problem is, the new Airport utility only shows the TC's internal drive and one of the external drives on the drives tab! I can't tell if the TC sees the new drive or not. It does not appear in any of my network computer's shares, so I am leaning towards not.
So, how can I connect the new drive (formatted as OS X Extended Journalled/GUID) and be able to configure the connection in Airport utility so the contained volume will mount as a shared volume on my network's clients? That is, without downgrading the firmware on my TC to do it!!!
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or assistance.If these are full sized drives and you are trying to power both from the bus, then more than likely the second drive is not running. Try instead powering the Firewire drives from an external power source or connecting each to a separate Firewire port.
Time Machine will only backup to one backup drive, but can backup any number of attached drives. -
More than one external hard drive....
I already have a 160G lacie external hard drive and I need another. I want to purchase the Lacie 250G.
Is there any problem with having two external hard drives connected at the same time?
Thanks!
-Jeff in NYCNot at all.
Plug in as many as you have ports for
If you are using FireWire drives, you probably have additional FireWire ports on the back of each drive. Just plug the next drive into the second port on the back of the drive.
If you are using USB drives, you may or may not have a second port on the back of the first drive. If you do, use the same method.
If you don't, then plug them directly into the USB ports on your computer.
If you need more ports, get a powered USB hub. Make sure you get a powered USB hub (one with it's own power transformer), they are more stable.
But, whenever possible, go with FireWire drives. The performance difference is quite significant.
And, just for information, there is no problem mixing USB and FireWire drives if you want one or two of each
Hope this helps. -
More than one external display?

How to back with more than one external?
I have four internal hard drives with my desktops so naturally my 1tb external HD doesn't have enough space for all the back up. I was wondering how do I add another external HD to the list in Time Machine so that it can back up the remaining stuff. I looked a lot in preferences but could not see a way to do it. I feel like I'm overlooking something...
TM can only have one backup disk. no way around that. you can RAID your externals into a software RAID which means that they will be combined into one volume. but that's a VERY shaky arrangement for external drives sitting in separate enclosures. and it will also mean that you'll have to wipe both externals. you can also get a bigger external drive or get an external RAID enclosure. another option is to use a different backup solution for backing up the extra data that does not fit on the TM drive. there are many other excellent backup programs beside TM. see this link for options

Is it possible to use more than one external hard drive for Time Machine backups?
I want to use two hard drives for Time Machine backups.
Bigger one keep at home and be sure it is safe.
Second one (very small pocket size) keep with me for travels.
I want to backup to both drives to be sure I can restore everywhere and to be sure if something bad happened with my small travel disk I can restore from home backup.
Is there any problem with listed schema? Is it normal for Time Machine to handle backups for different drivers and keep everything consistent and smooth?I really need some help! I have been using an Iomega NAS 1TB HD for the past year. And I received an error message. I believe I have ran out of memory on this drive.
Then recently in the last couple of months I got a ReadyNAS Duo 2TB with 2TB RAID. Should I switch my back ups to this one and delete the other back up file or keep the old back up image file on the Iomega?
Can I transfer the old image back up to this new ReadyNAS? How do I do this?
I appreciate any help. -
