Multi display options imac

I take it from the configuration of the new imacs that the option to have a second display running on my imac has disappeared, is there a work around for this?

I'm using a brand new hdmi cable (works fine with my pc!) and a belkin thunderbolt adapter.
Please don't insult me by assuming I didn't follow the instructions-- which include using the tabs that don't appear!!!
Yes, I connected the tv as instructed.  Unfortunately the problem is that the tv doesn't recognize the macbook pro and, yes, I did try both of the solutions -- plugging in the connection before powering up the computer, and putting it to sleep and then making the connections. I usually try any and all suggestions before posting a request for help.
As I stated above, the cable works fine with my acer laptop. The only difference is that I need the adapter for my macbook pro - and purchased one from Belkin. It fits perfectly and the connections are secure and tight. I cannot choose the detect display, since it is not there.  I cannot choose the arrangements tab, since it is not there, either.

  • Multi display options for MBP using USB - Diamond BVU195 vs Sewell Minideck

    I have narrowed my search for a multidisplay option for my MBP down to 2 devices;
    Diamond BVU195
    http://www.diamondmm.com/BVU195.php
    http://www.amazon.com/Diamond-BVU195-Display-Adapter-included/dp/B002GHBW4S
    and
    Sewell Mindeck
    http://sewelldirect.com/Sewell-Minideck-USB-to-DVI-Display-Adapter.asp
    Has anyone had a chance to check out both of these?
    There is no easy comparison, any opinions? thanks!

    The obvious drawback of USB video adapters like these is that they tie up USB ports you may need for other purposes. If you intend to connect one or more such adapters to a USB hub instead of directly to the computer, be sure to use a hub that has its own AC power supply, and check with the adapter's manufacturer to make sure it has been tested with hubs and found to work that way.
    The less obvious disadvantage of USB video adapters is slowness. If you don't use your multiple displays for gaming or other high-speed, demanding video applications, you may not be disappointed. If you do, you probably will be.

  • How can I operate  multi displays on my Imac 21.5 quad core 2.5 and have each display function independently?

    how can I operate  multi displays on my Imac 21.5 quad core 2.5 using Lion and have each display function independently?

    Below are some converters/adapters to look at.  If these look like they may work:
    USB 2.0 to HDMI Audio Video 1080P Adapter for Windows and Macbook
    Matrox DualHead2Go D2G-A2D-IF (or look here)
    These should allow you to run multiple displays in extended display mode.  Note that these use HDMI as an output so you would need some additional adapter to conver HDMI to whatever your displays require.  Of course these suggestions are all academic if such an adapter doesn't exist.
    Update:
    I just reread your last post and I am confused.  Is it only your TV that you are trying to run in extended display mode?  I thought you wanted more than two displays.  If only  the TV it should just work if you are not using mirrored displays.  Your Displays Arrangement tab should show both your main screen (one with the little whith menu bar) and the TV.  Set the proper resolution and refresh rate for the TV using it's Displays preference window.  That is all you need to basically do (ignoring overscan/underscan problems).
    Note, if you are using Lion then I have heard that when using full screen mode in Lion additional screens show nothing.

  • Using Boxes or Compact display option in Messages

    Is there a way to return to the Boxes display option in Messages under Mavericks? I was never a fan of the Balloons, which appears to be the only display option now.

    HI,
    Open a Finder window.
    Go to the View Menu and chose View Options
    In here chose to display the Modified column.
    Now use the Go Menu and hold down the ALT key and select the Library that appears.
    Now navigate to the Preferences folder
    Find the com.apple.ichat.plist item and highlight it.
    In a view that display the columns such as Cover Flow check the date (and possibly time) that the files was last Modified.
    Now open Messages.
    If the setting in Mesaages > Preferences > Viewing have Changed again remake them to what you want.
    Does the Modified column show the current time  that you do this ?
    If it does not then you may not own the file or have Permission to write to it.
    with the file still highlighted use the CMD and i keys together (Get Info)
    In the panel that opens scroll to the bottom.
    Your shortname should be lists with Read and Write permissions.
    Also if you highlight your name and then use the cogwheel type icon it should have, in greyed out text as if already done, "Make yourShortname (me) the Owner"
    If you have Read and Write Permissions and the "Make" item is greyed out then you Own the file and have the correct permissions.

  • Rich text box used in Infopath Form not displaying option to get images from Computer

    Hello,
    We have used "Rich text box" in Infopath Form which is not displaying option to get images from Computer.
    Options available are : From Address, From SharePoint
    But if we Rich text box in list, then it works fine with "From Computer" option.
    can you please help me out to get this option.
    Thanks in advance.
    REgards,
    Jayashri

    Hi,
    From your description, there is no “From Computer” option to get images with rich text box in InfoPath form.
    Per my knowledge, by design there are “From Address” and “From SharePoint” options without “From Computer” option in rich text box in InfoPath form. As a workaround, you can develop a custom InfoPath Rich Text box to do it.
    About developing a custom InfoPath control, I suggest you create a new thread on the forum “Visual Studio Tools for Office”, more experts will assist you with InfoPath development.

    we have six document type from NB1 to NB6 every document type has separate no ranges, & having three field selection as Me21n, fof, NBF,
    in Spro MM Define screen layout at document level, in that we assign document type NB5 & attach field selection FOF in that purcahsing group is optional.
    same other dovcument types we assign field selection Me21n & we assign purchasing group is Display option.
    our requirement is that when i select documenyt type NB5, purchasing group will optional not in display.
    But system shows display & we cant do PO.
    Please guide me or any other config.
    Thanks
    Shital

    Hi,
    System is giving first preference to Field Selection Key ME21N, so you have to reverse the condition. 
    Maintain ME21N as optional and assign document type NB5 to it and
    For  other dovcument types Create another Field Selection Key with purchasing group as Display option and
    assign that field selection key for purchasing group is Display option.

    I was getting that error when I used OSX's default compress feature. I found a little utility called ePub Zip and used it to compress (zip) my ePubs and that did the trick. They then passed the validation. I got it here:

  • Display Options in Acrobat X

    Hi,
    I'm looking to find the Display Option tab in Acrobat PDF Maker X but can't find it, specifically I want to be able to set Document Open Options. In Acrobat 5, there was a Display Option tab which allowed you to set Bookmarks and Page using a radio button and the Open Magnification from a drop down.
    Are these options in Acrobat PDF Maker X?
    Any information is appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply. I was hoping that you could specify these options before you generate the PDF, you could do this in Acrobat PDF Maker 5.0
