Multi monitor with splitter only gives mirror image

i have a mac intel based 10.5.6 (i know i need an update) i ordered a minidvi to vga adapter but i thought that i could use a splitter to move my mouse to the two other monitors but it only gives me a mirror image and i dont know if i could change that. Any ideas?

The adapter worked but the refresh rate is very fragmented and i cant get a clear movement of pictures and it is also slowing my other monitors down. my guess is that it requires additional software and a load of adapters which i think is messed up. I have 10.5.8 now and do not see much a difference. the first monitor that attached was throught the mini dvi on that back with a vga adapter and it works like a charm on 1920x1080. is there any kinf of mini dvi "hub" or expander to give me one extra port?

L430 : problem with multi-monitoring (with workstation)

Hello,
I have some trouble with multi-monitoring on a L430 setup. I have a workstation with a 20' Samsung connected on it (VGA). Double display runs very well.
But now that i have decided to put a 3rd monitor, it is a complete mess. I tried to plug the 3rd screen on the DVI port, but now the 2nd screen is black.
i tried with 2 different monitors, with 1 different cable, i tried to put the 3rd screen directly on the VGA port of the laptop, but i had the same problem.
I read somewhere that with the L430, one cannot plug a 3rd screen, but i cannot believe it.
Is it real?

I would like to be sure of that :/ Working in an IT departement, being able to have only 2 screens because of company limits is strange...

Using three monitors with screen spanning and mirror at the same time

I have a mac pro with two graphics cards and I currently have three monitors connected using screen spanning which works fine.
But I would like to change this so the desktop is spanned over two monitors and the third monitor is a mirror of one of the other two.
Is this possible?

Thanks very much, perfect!
Only thing is you don't need to press the "?" button. But it seems a little temperamental when you option + click + drag. I found you to have to deselect but clicking anywhere in the window and reselected the window you wish to mirror (which I assume press the "?" does the same thing).
I never thought it was going to be this simple, I was sure I would need to install a third party app or something.
Thanks again!!!!!!!

Malar,
I will agree with Scott. The output you've posted is showing the IOS is corrupt.
Check with you administrator or just reset the password.
Unfortunately, Ravi is from Sales so he really doesn't know what he's talking about.

ISight producing mirror image in all apps

Whenever I use anything that displays the video captured by the iSight camera, the image is a mirror. I cannot find anything that would permit me to configure the camera to show the image it's actually capturing. Is there a way I can do this?

Welcome to Discussions, bjames.wi
Software controls your iSight. Many, but not all, software applications give mirror-image iSight views. Different apps work differently. Your Mac's Help in each application should give you more info on how each particular app works, but here are some suggestions for a few of the most common apps.
(1) iChat's picture-in-picture and Snapshot is "mirrored" by design.
We are so accustomed to seeing ourselves in the mirror that it looks strange the other way. Your movie clips and the view that your chat friends' see and are normal. Only video snapshots you make and your video preview are mirror-image.
(2) You can change individual snapshots made with either iChat or Photo Booth by opening the file with your Preview application and using the Preview > Tools > Flip Horizontal menu command.
Full-featured image editing software such as PhotoShop or PhotoShop Elements can also flip images that have already been saved.
(3) You can change future Photo Booth snapshots with the Photo Booth > Edit > Auto Flip New Photos menu choice.
More info is in Photo Booth > Help > Photo Booth Help. Search for Flipping a photo there.
(4) iMovie is different. Its preview window shows images right-way-around, as is the customary view for movie cameras.
(5) To flip saved video recordings, QuickTime Pro can do it easily. Use QT Pro's "Visual Settings" controls in the "Video Track" section of its "Movie Properties" menu command to flip, rotate, resize, and edit other properties of an already-recorded video.
If you do not have QT Pro, you can use iMovie 6 HD. Import the saved Photo Booth or iChat 4 video clip into iMovie and use iMovie's "Mirror" effect in Editing >Video FX to flip it.
The latest iMovie version, iMovie 8 (sometimes called iMovie '09 because it is part of iLife '09), can also flip already-saved video. I do not think that iMovie 7 (which was part of iLife '08) can flip videos.
(6) If you really want to change your iSight's image, you can add iGlasses 2 software.
(7) If you are into no-cost, imperfect, and unsophisticated work-arounds, one kludged alternative would be to position a mirror as best you can so you are making video of your image in the mirror.
(8) If you need more info, when you post back please let us know which application gives you trouble.

How to stop printing mirror image in word 2008

Hello,
Since yesterday, I have had occasional problems: documents are printed with the text in mirror image and last night a word document saved as a pdf file also had the text reversed. When I saved the same document as pdf a second time, it was fine.
I can't find an answer in the usergroups and it does not happen every time.
Apple tech support said that they had never heard of this problem and it had something to do with a "mirror image" command in word, but I can't find any information about such a command in word 2008.
thank you,
Cynthia

the Preview.app has an option to Flip Horizontal.

I'm using a viewsonic 19" LCD monitor with a powermac 7100/66. The only resolution available in the monitor control panel is 640x480. The viewsonic gives me a message to use 1440x900. The mac specs state it's capable of 1152x870 @ 8 bit. Help!

I'm using a viewsonic 19" LCD monitor with a powermac 7100/66 running Mac OS 7.6.1. The only resolution available in the monitor control panel is 640x480. The viewsonic gives me a message to use 1440x900. The mac specs state it's capable of 1152x870 @ 8 bit. How can I get a higher resolution?

For unsupported resolutions, one may need to see if there are any software
solutions; maybe the minimum specs of the display are not met by an 8-bit
color specification of the video card in the computer.
Does the display support two kinds of connections, another one, plus VGA?
Could be the display needs some other support for it to work. Drivers?
VRAM? A different control panel and (third-party) software?
The limits may vary due to the VRAM on the card. With enough there, and
with a VGA connection (or supported converter to/from older Mac DB-15)
and the video graphics card with minimal supported specs will show that.
Been several years since I've run any PowerMac, & only used a variety of
Apple CRT color displays with them. Most times, they were very adequate.
A wider array of original choices appeared in the Displays control panel...
So I suspect the lack of video support in the graphics card or VRAM, to be
a player in this resolution limit you see in the control panel. A later CPU/GPU
and better hardware, later Mac OS, offered greater support for newer driver
along with better results.
There may not be a workable upgrade to a different graphic video card for
that old a vintage computer; or if there was one, to locate that now may be
a next-to-impossible mission. Was there any hints in the web site for older
Macs, the LowEndMac site, or others? Some are no longer current sites.
In any event...
Good luck & happy computing!

Multi monitor issues with resolution(?)

At a customer I have got a really strange and annoying problem. The customer has got a Hyper-V VM with 2012 R2 Server as a RDS server aka Terminal Server.
One user has got issues with his multi monitor setup. The connection settings seems to be OK. It is set to full screen and the checkbox for the multi monitor configuration is enabled. Theoretically this works because the user sees a correct setup with one
primary display and one secondary display. The settings itself are correct.
1. Primary display: 1680*1050
2. Secondary display: 27" 1920*1080
The display settings on the client are nearly the same except that the numbers of the two monitors are different (those numbers you get when you click identify at the resolution change window). On the Windows 7 client the primary display
number 2 and the 27" has got the number 1. On the Terminal Server the primary display has got the number 1 and the 27" display has got the number 2. But the corresponding resolution at the display number is correct.
Now the problem. Everything seems fine, the desktop is expended. But when the user is "touching" the top or bottom edge of the screen the display is scrolling (in full screen) - like in a 3D game scrolling over a map. The user told me that
both screens are scrolling equally at the same time. I am not sure but the user told me that if he is going to the bottom the CLIENT task bar appears. Changing the task bar of the client to fixed the user told me that the task bar will always show up. - Strange
that CTRL + ALT + BREAK does not work.
I tried to press CTRL + ALT + BREAK twice, changing the resolution to a fixed value and back to full screen again, changing the primary display to the new 27" monitor, adding smart sizing:i:1 to rdp file and upgrading the Intel HD
4600 laptop graphic drivers (must be downloaded from Lenovo :/). NOTHING helped :(.
But this strange behavior does not exist on the client. Opening two programs (simple notepad e.g.) on each display and maximize them and moving the mouse the screen borders won't show this problem. It only exist on the remote session.
Now the "funny" part. If I connect with Team Viewer to the client the problem disappears as long as I am connected. If I disconnect the problem shows up again.

Hi,
This is most likely a problem with the local machine's graphics driver and monitor configuration. I would suggest trying different things like removing and re-installing the display adapter and its drivers, removing the second monitor/restarting/adding
the second monitor back, adjusting the multi-monitor settings in display properties (changing between extending the desktop to the second monitor and not), undocking/restarting/docking, changing between different modes using Fn key on laptop (if laptop), etc.
The behavior under Team Viewer is likely because the graphics configuration is different when the driver is active.
I wish I could give you more precise instructions on how to resolve the issue. I have seen this behavior (panning desktop, multi-monitor config not exactly right) probably 3 times over the last 5 years, always with a laptop, and I had to "play"
with the settings before it finally went back to normal. The instances I have seen it occur did not involve Remote Desktop specifically.

Have you redeemed your iTunes card to an account associated with an Apple ID?
Once you have your iPad associated with an Apple ID AND you have an account with a credit card associated with the same Apple ID AND you have some 'store credit' (from redeeming your iTunes card) then purchases use the store credit before they charge the credit card, so you should be ok!
Personally, I use 'store credit' as a way to monitor whether or not there have been any 'unauthorised' purchases because as soon as the store credit is zero, the security code from the credit card is needed for further purchases! It does mean that I have sometimes to top up store credit before making a purchase, but 'better safe than sorry'!

Need help with a mirror image effect

For most of our product photos, I create a copy of the image, flip it vertically, fade it out, and then move it down to create a mirror image effect. Simple enough. But this one I'm having a problem. The product has 4 legs, and from this view, the back 2 legs are shorter. When I do my normal steps that I listed, I get similar to what you see below. I know all about drawing a marquee around part of the reflection, hitting Ctrl+T and then holding down Ctrl+Shift to skew just what's in the marquee. I've done this technique a lot, but it does not work for this particular image. What do I have to do to get the reflection of the back legs to line up with the actual back legs in the image? Thanks.

Well, Photoshop is not a 3D rendering program and you can only fake it by painting or assembling the reflection using your artistic skills and knowledge of perspective and reflections. From certain angles and with certain objects this could be quite easily done by just mirroring the 2D image but in other cases like this it wont' work. I made a quick scene in a 3D program to show you how the refection will actually be in real life - you will see the bottom of the table in the reflection and this is missing from the 2D image. You can assemble and position separately parts of the reflection from the 2D image by using the front sides of the table and and legs but the rest (bottom) of table has to be created from scratch.

Viewing firewire external device and VGA monitor with mirroring off

My mac laptop is connected to an external monitor via the VGA port and I keep mirroring off to maximize display space. When using FCP I want to run firewire out to a professional DVcam deck for both capture, and to view the timeline on an external monitor that I see by using 'RCA monitor out' on the DVcam deck to the monitor. However, as soon as I turn mirroring off, the deck no longer sees the firewire. How can I see the firewire out and the VGA display monitor when mirroring is off. thanks

Is the ADVC powered? When you connect firewire to the back of the unit, it gets powered by that connector, but the firewire jack on the front is only 4-pin and doesn't support power.
If you have a 6-pin to 6-pin firewire cable, try connecting it to the back of the ADVC110 and then the front of the box should light up, indicating power.
I'm having a similar issue. I can print to tape via the Canopus box, but I want to be able to drive a monitor with it just so I can have an NTSC monitor while I'm editing. I can't seem to make it work. Any ideas?

Mouse pointer is unchangeable at 100% scaling in multi monitor setup with different resolutions

Hi there, I have been asked by one of the moderators of the Windows 8.1 forums to post this topic here. You can see the thread relating to this post here
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-tms/cant-change-the-cursor-pointer/ae8ad8a0-3ded-4810-a3be-794f6c4830a4?msgId=2bd7082f-f5d1-4b01-8c70-e0d2a754d66f&page=1<o:p></o:p>
The problem: The mouse pointer becomes unchangeable in size, type, trails etc when 100% scaling is used. As in it reverts to the standard small white non-inverted, no trails,
no shadow 'pointer', no matter what options you select in the 'Mouse' control panel settings.<o:p></o:p>
This appears to be a scaling problem with the Windows 8/8.1 display, not an actual mouse problem. Judging by my own and other peoples experience it seems to happen mainly with multi
monitor setups where different screen resolutions are used. The issue occurs typically when 100% scaling for all monitors is used or this option is un-ticked and the 'change the size of all items' is on smallest (equivalent to 100%). <o:p></o:p>
If the scaling is set to 150% or greater the issue disappears and the mouse pointer becomes fully functional. Also bizarrely when the scaling is set to 100% if the screen is recorded
using a screen capture program, the recording of the screen shows the mouse pointer selected in the mouse options and not the default small white cursor that is present when recording it. Here is a link to a video where I explain and show the problem
happening on my system. http://youtu.be/xs2cxoeaq-A<o:p></o:p>
I have every update installed without exception, latest drivers etc. I use a 55" 4k screen with 2x1080p monitors in portrait on either side. All are connected through 1 Nvidia
GTX 780 6GB graphics card<o:p></o:p>
Hope you can help us<o:p></o:p>
thanks<o:p></o:p>

Hi Jon,
I'm looking into this issue but it will take me some time to provide a reply.
In the meantime I noticed that you have 3 monitors with 1x 55' and 2x27' - please have a try to only connect 1x27' monitor and see if issue persists.
Also please try to change the screen resolution to a lower size and see if issue persists.
Both suggestions are not solution, I just would like to know if it is related to multiple monitor or screen resolution.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

I have a MB Pro that is running Lion; I also have two external DVI monitors and a DVI splitter in hopes that I could run the two monitors with my MB Pro. This actually works fine, but I am unable to "extend" the desktop. Any insights?

You cannot have a extended desktop using a splitter. All that does is mirror the pair attached to the splitter.
You can do this however using a Matrox DualHead2Go.
Other solution would be to attach one monitor to your video out as you do the splitter and attach the other via USB (assuming the adapter supports the monitor's resolution).
