Multiple displays in Mavericks

I'd like to connect the displays of a new iMac with thunderbolt to a 2008 iMac. What cables do I need please?

Unfortunately target display mode relies on mini-Displayport or Thunderbolt connections, and must use the same at both ends: Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt or Mini-DisplayPort to mini-DisplayPort. Your 2008 model has a mini-DVI connector and so will not work in this way.
However, one option for you may be ScreenRecycler.

Using Headphone Jack with Multiple Displays with Mavericks

I recently installed Mavericks on a 2011 Mac Mini (previously was running 10.6.8); the Mac Mini is connected via HDMI to my HDTV in my living room and connected via mini display to HDMI to a second HDTV in my basement. I am running an extended USB cable to the basement to have a keyboard/mouse at each HDTV (living room is using a Bluetooth keyboard/trackpad).
After I installed Mavericks, I was immediatley having problems with my monitors. Each monitor showed up in my audio settings, but for some reason, I could not select the living room HDTV for sound, it just bounced off the HDTV name and went to another selection. After analyzing it for a while, I determined that when I had a line into my headphone jack, I could not select that living room monitor. As soon as I removed that line, I could select it (as an fyi, the other HDTV in the basement worked fine for sound with the headphone jack being used). I would prefer to be able to use the headphone jack as I have that plugged into my home theater system to play sound through my sound system.
Also, whenever I reboot my Mac Mini, my extended cable USB keyboard/mouse becomes unusuable and I have to unplug the keyboard & mouse and plug them back in for them to work and recognize the keyboard/mouse. The USB maintains power as I plugged my iPhone into it and got a charge after a reboot of my Mac Mini, it just doesn't automatically pickup the keyboard/mouse. Everything worked perfectly in 10.6.8, so any solution(s) would be welcomed so I don't have to go back to that OS.
Thanks.

Actually, there is an adapter that will do exactly what you want:

If you read one guy's experience, he says:
"I can even use it to connect to the auxiliary jack of my car stereo so the call goes through the car speakers and I use the adapter's microphone to speak. "
So this ought to do ya. (And, of course, the iPhone music will indeed pause when the call comes in -- this happens even if you are using "normal" headphones).

Why doesn't Screen Sharing work across multiple displays anymore in Mavericks?

Hey Guys,
I'm having a problem with Screen Sharing in Mavericks. It wasn't a problem in Mountain Lion, so I'm wondering if you could help me.
I use a Mac Pro with multiple displays to connect to another Mac Pro with multiple displays. Here's how it looks at first:
Two remote desktops shown in one window on one display locally. (Note: there are two different displays connected to this Mac Pro.)
In Mountain Lion, I used to be able to scale this up across displays. When I do that now, the remote desktop scales down to the lower-left corner. Observe:
When I mouse over it, there's some screen tearing (artifacts):
Any ideas?
Notes:
Yes, I've Google'd it.
I don't have Mavericks' multi-display support enabled. I disabled it to spread out Avid Media Composer and Adobe After Effects usage.
Thank you,
Isaac T.

No Multiple Displays On OS Maverick

I have upgraded to OS Maverick and realised there is no multiple displays on my 17" MacBook Pro. I have checked that my system requirement is supported by OS Maverick. Could anyone advice me what went wrong?
My MacBook Pro specs: Mid 2010, MacBook Pro6,1.
                                        Intel Core i7, 2.66 GHz
                                         8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 RAM
                                        Intel HD Graphics 288 MB
                                        17", 1920 x 1200 screen

Do you have another physical display attached (a separate screen outside your MacBook Pro)? Mavericks doesn't create multiple displays where none existed before, it just has different support for them.

Multiple displays, great. single display tricky in Mavericks.

I bought a new external display to work on a MacBook Air through Thunderbolt but when I close the lid of the MBA the display goes black / sleeps. I've reset the SMC and it worked until shut down, and upon restart was back to going black. I can get it to work with the MBA open and use multiple displays but this is not what I want to achieve or have the desk space for.
Does anyone else have the same issue or even have a solution?
I'd be interested to hear anything.

Dan,
for a Mid 2010 model, you’ll need to use something like the Matrox DualHead2Go Digital Mac Edition multi-display adapter with a DVI-to-HDMI adapter to connect your current display. If your current display or your second display has a DVI input port, then no additional adapter would be needed.

How do you use multiple displays with a MacBook Pro and iMac

I have an iMac and a MacbookPro laptop both upgraded to OS X 10.9 (Mavericks). I'd like to use multiple displays with them. Can I do this without an Apple TV? They are both on the same network. If I can, can someone please give some instructions on how this can be done?
Thanks!

Both computers have ports for external monitors. Check your user manuals. Only one display can be added to the MBP, but newer iMacs have dual Thunderbolt ports.
Do your own Google research to learn what to do, but reading your manuals should be all you really need. It' not rocket science yet.

How can I better use multiple displays as if they were multiple computers?

In Mavericks I read online that multiple display support is the best it's ever been, but it's still very frustrating. Is there any way to get the "multi displays are different spaces" option to act more as it promises? Photoshop, for instance, refuses to let me move all of its control windows to my calibrated display, forcing me to go back and forth between my Eizo and internal monitors; one for its colors and the other for the tool pallates.
I want to use my MacBook display just for email and such, so I don't want to close the lid, but I wish it could be really segrigated. The experience I'm looking for is sort of like 2 computers with a shared keyboard and mouse. One dock per display is desprately needed. Can that be done?
Also allowing each display to have one applicatioin currently in front when multiple input devices are present would be greatly appreciated. I could then keep one keyboard and tablet in front of the Eizo and use the internal for use on the Macbook - if the OS could learn my setup it could really be the best of the benefits of having 2 computers and just one. Shared Clipboard and one Space colaborating seamlessly with another, while having the abillity to work entirely within one space and then move to the other while waiting for a command to finish executing, or to go back to the file system to open more work.
This is so close to perfect but it has a few really frustrating limitations. Any advice?
thank you
-Jeremy

At least your query seems to get data where MODIFIED_BY IS NULL, doesn't it?
So if the reccount is>0 there is a reason to inform your employees.

Multiple display problems

I have a mac mini with mavericks and I am using multiple displays. I am having a several problems. The first one is when I use a program like vlc, quicktime, itunes, etc... and go fullscreen, my second display goes black. I found one way around it but i was wonering if there was a setting or something that I missed. My second question if I have a video playing in one screen, can i have the sound come from that and in my other screen have my game playing and have the sound com from that display instead of it both commin out from on source?

The screen going black is up to each app. Often with video apps it will darken the second screen for an uninterrupted experience but has an option to turn it off. I don't use VLC, Quicktime or iTunes for video but if you use MPlayerX or MPlayer OSX Extended for example you simply go into the settings and uncheck the black out second screen option.
As for audio, it gets complex. There are apps which can route sound to a designated device (like each monitor and mini-jack cable). Several video players can let you select an audio-out device; this means while you let your game go to the deafult while VLC for example would go to your designated monitor.

Icon for multiple displays?

I downloaded Mavericks yesterday and am looking for the icon that allows for multiple displays. According to the overview it should be on my menu bar but nothing has shown up. Is there a setting I need to change? Or, is there another way I can connect my laptop to my TV through my Apple TV using wi-fi? Thanks!

Try System Preferences, Displays, check the box to show Mirroring in menu bar.
Is your Mac capable?
AirPlay Mirroring
Requires a second-generation Apple TV or later. Supported by the following Mac models:
iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)
Mac Pro (late 2013)

Mav Multiple Displays on 2010 iMac?

It says Mavericks Multiple Displays requires 2011 iMac or later. Does this mean I lose the ability to run multiple monitors on my 2010 iMac or is this just in reference to multiple menus, etc.? Thanks.

No, you won't lose the ability on your model.

Analysis Authorization based on Hier node with multiple display hierarchies

Hi guys - I've got a problem where s.o. might have an idea of how to switch on the light at the end of the tunnel, I am currently standing in:
Requirement:
Cost Center Authorization should be given through RSECADMIN, reporting should be possible for any hierarchy that exists for the authorization relevant info object.
Preferred solution:
The Cost Center Analysis Authorization should be given through RSECADMIN - Hierarchy node assignment.
u2022     A dedicated Authorization Cost Center Hierarchy will be maintained in ECC6 as an alternative cost center hierarchy and extracted into BW.
u2022     The RSECADMIN Hierarchy node assignment should be based on a particular node (Type 2).
u2022     The display level will be specified as required (here: Level 7)
u2022     The Authorization granted should be independent of hierarchy name and version (validity 3).
Reporting Scenario and technical impact:
As mentioned above, when designing and running a query the user should be able to freely select other (i.e. than the authorization) display hierarchies for the authorization relevant reporting object 'Cost Center' as well. The technical names of the semantically relevant hierarchy nodes could therefore vary. E.g. cost centers 1, 2 and 3, being assigned under hierarchy node u2018Au2019 of the RSECADMIN relevant authorization hierarchy, could be subsumed by hierarchy node u2018Bu2019 in another display hierarchy, which the user may want to display in accordance to his reporting needs. Ideally, the alternative display hierarchy should therefore display node u2018Bu2019.
My findings so far (based on prototyping) turn out that this is not possible as long u2018Bu2019 (and its hierarchy) is not authorized in RSECADMIN. Can these findings be confirmed? And if not, would anyone have an idea of how to facilitate the reporting scenario?
Would there be any other way to grant access, possibly based on RSECADMIN single values, and also enable the user to flexibly display hierarchies with only those hierarchy nodes whose single cost center values the user has been given access to?
Thanks everyone for your input...
Claus

HI CLause,
On Jul 14 2009, you wrote in SDN and said:
FYI: Found a solution...
The hierarchy analysis authorization will be based on a navigational attribute of cost center.
With analysis authorizations it is possible to declare the Auth object (e.g. 0COSTCENTER__RACCAUT0) as authorization relevant and leave the superior object 0COSTCENTER auth irrelevant.
The auth will be given for 0COSTCENTER__RACCAUT0. This object will be placed as a filter of the query, being restricted by an Authorization variable for hierarchy nodes.
Due to the concept of Analysis Authorizations, this variable will automatically pick up the nodes granted as part of RSECADMIN Hierarchy based Authorization.
As mentioned above, 0COSTCENTER as the regular reporting characteristic remains auth irrelevant and can therefore take any hierarchy thatu2019s available. Reporting on single values will be possible, too. Only those nodes show up that hold the authorized cost centers in accordance to the authorization.
If the auth relevant 0COSTCENTER__RACCAUT0 is not used in the query definition by either not taking it in as a filter or skipping the Auth variable, the query will launch the message that the authorization is missing. No data show up at all.
Claus
See this thread:
Analysis Authorization based on Hier node with multiple display hierarchies
I am also in the same situation as you and need to understadn your solution. I understand that you created a Nav Attr on 0COSTCENTER and made this auth relevant whilst ensuring that 0COSTCENTER is NOT auth relevant. This is all fine. The issue was you have multiple hierachies for 0COSTCENTER, how did the new Nav Attr help you solve your issue. When loading 0COSTCENTER what values did you load ino the new Nav Attribute and how did that link to the hierachies? Also, in RSECADMIN you created hiearchy nodes based on the Nav Attribute but I am confused as to what values you have in the Nav Attr.
I appreciate if you can share your solution from the past in more details.
many thanks

How do I connect multiple displays to a Lenovo 405

how do I connect multiple displays to a Lenovo 405 running windows 7? I tried a video card but the built in amd video port would not function with the video card plugged in.
Moderator Note; subject edit, post moved to here

hi harry13,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
If you're referring to the Lenovo® H405, this unit has an integrated VGA and HDMI out according to this pdf data sheet.
If you'll be using a flat panel monitor (that usualy has a VGA connector and a single link DVI D digital interface), you will need to connect 1 monitor to the VGA out and use an HDMI to single link DVI-D converter on the other monitor. You might need to scan for hardware changes under the device manager to identify the monitor that's connected to the HDMI to DVI-D converter. Note that you need to change the video setup under BIOS to IGD or the onboard graphics.
If you'll be using your discrete video adapter for the multi-monitor setup, you must change the video setup to PEG under the BIOS and the video card must have a vga or hdmi/dvi out.
Also, see these guides as a reference:

When I go into full screen mode in Safari 5.1 on LION it switches to a new Space, making my other displays useless. Anyone else annoyed that Apple has completely left out those with multiple displays?

I had a fear that this was going to be the case, but you can't have two full screen apps open in two different displays. At least that's how Safari fullscreen works. When switching over to full screen mode in safari, it automatically creats a new space, turns on four finger gesture to swipe through full screen apps which I had turned off in place of App Switcher.
I don't use spaces because of the lack of support for using spaces with multiple displays. I would use spaces and mission control if I had control of each display's mission control separately.
The fix would be to unlink the displays so they can scroll through full screen apps by themselves. I want this feature so I can mix and match the full screen apps on my three different displays. I see this beneficial for more people with multiple displays. in the future when thunderbolt display links, people will want better support too.
I know I would use spaces and mission control more if I could have this ability. I'd be interested to know people's opinion.

No no, if you read what I said, it would be that each individual display would be customizable to the user. The way you have it, it sounds like your second display will be dedicated to scrolling through fullscreen apps not allowing you to do it on the home screen. This is silly because with my concept, you could do that, by dragging apps to fullscreen in your second display, but if you want you could tell another display to scroll through fullscreen apps (independently) if you wanted. Each display will have it's own mission control with it's own set of desktops. I also can see how some people would still want them linked together, so this could just be a little check box made in mission control prefs to "link" or "unlink" desktops with link checked by default.
With your solution you're limited to your setup. but what if the person has three or four displays? Well then your solution would limit them to one dedicated display that scrolls through fullscreen apps where mine lets a person customize their desktops depending on their preference and setup.
further example: if you have safari, address book and mail in one display, you could still have ichat, PS and Illustrator in your second, and a text editor, FTP Client and iTunes in your third. Then you would mix and match these apps but it would promote the use of mulitple displays as well as benefit people with three or more, which thunderbolt, Cinema Display and Pro computers support.

Is there a way to set up multiple displays to show different DeskTops and/or multiple Full-Screen apps independently?

Hello Apple users/ develpers.....
I have been thinking about this long and hard and it seems like there should be some way to display separate Full-Screen Apps and/or mulitple Desktops.
This would be a key feature that would make Lion surprisingly more efficient than any of its predicessors. However, I have gone into System Preferences>Displays and could find no way to page through and get different desktops to display. I always could extend the desktop, but why do that when I can simply use multiple Desktops and assign them to specific displays.
(For example While on the MacBook Pro I could be doing a project in FinalCut while External Display 1 could be displaying iTunes and Display number 2 could be displaying MS Word. And between each I can switch between each app without changing the monitor display.)
I could also seeing this being extremely helpful in DJ and/or PowerPoint presentations. In a PowerPoint presentation I could use the projector/display to show the individual Slides, while on the computer/laptop I could control other materials.
Or in a DJ situation, I could be controlling iTunes from the computer, displaying a set of animations that I created in Flash/ToonBoom or another animation program, while still being able to work off of an independent display to do my homework or major project.
The whole purpose of multiple displays would be to have multiple access to each of those. And so if there's another APP I need to control them, or if there is a setup command I don't know about, I'd like to know right away.
Also, if Apple hasn't really implimented this (and their OS is designed to have these features) then I guess this'd be my first recomendation to them as something that they need to fix. This alone could be the key to crippling PC. Don't let Windows 8 have a back door!

Not available, why not suggest it here.

How do I get the menu bar to appear on multiple displays without mirroring displays?

I keep finding things about the new Yosemite update that I do not like. The most recent is that apparently you can't have a menubar on multiple displays, unless you mirror the displays. This does not work for me. I want to keep my thunderbolt display as my primary display, but I am working in photoshop on my Cintiqu and I can't afford to drag my mouse all the way back to the thunderbolt display every time I need to access the photoshop menu.
Is there some sort of fix for this that I'm not seeing?
If not I sincerely hope that the apple engineers fix this ASAP.

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.
