Multiple displays  Mountain Lion  mirror

Is it possible to use the Mirror function of MountainLion to create a second display? 

Hah!  Yep, that's where I'm at.  I was hoping the new OS might let me set up a second, wireless display.  No Can Do.... yet, huh?
Thanks, CaptFred

  • Mountain Lion mirroring feature.

    When Apple Maps was proven to be faulty and Tim Cook apologizes to the users and added to be better as users will provide FEEDBACK. Do you think Apple reads these feedbacks? There are thousand users asking from Apple about Mountain Lion mirroring features not available for mid 2010 iMac. Until now Apple is quite about it. Apple does not need your feedback, it needs your money.

    Although i have tried airaParrot, nothing beats the functionalities that come with mirroring and airplaying through an apple based software like the one made available through the ipod touch and ipad. I hope apple develops an app for 2010 macbook pro users.

  • Mountain Lion mirroring - screen resolution problems

    I've just upgraded to Mountain Lion and am no longer able to set the screen resolutions on the iMac monitor and my Sony LCD 46" to mirror properly. Previously it worked very well by selecting the highest resolution for both the iMac and the TV - but now selecting those resolution settings no longer mirror properly.  I've also tried other resolution combinations with limited success.  When the iMac looks good - the mirrored TV monitor does not or vice versa. 
    Any suggestions or directions/instructions would be appreciated.
    Thanks..

    You should have checked it before upgrading to Mountain Lion. Apple says that AirPlay Mirroring requires some hardware video encoding capabilities of 2nd and 3rd generation Intel Core processor, making all the 2010 and early Macs unsupported, but we don't know why AirParrot can stream on all the computers

  • Apple tv and Mountain Lion Mirror problems

    Hi so I upgraded to Mountain Lion the day it came out on my macbook pro and so far im really happy with it. But I am all of the sudden having problems mirroring it on my apple tv. I worked fine up until about a week ago and now it doesnt seem to want to work. When I click on the mirror icon nothing happens, I just turns blue around it for about 15 secs and then nothing. I have tried everything and im lost. HELP!

    Do a reset of apple tv and try again,in case it still is having issue check if you have latest updates on Apple tv as well as for mountain lion.

  • Mountain lion mirroring

    I am very disappointed that mirroring is not supported on my macs. The fact that apple did not make this clear is only surpassed by the poor support who described my Mac as "old" and the request that I visit a feedback site to express my concerns. This whole experience was very poor, almost Microsoft like.
    Please change your policies and procedures to avoid this blatant under delivery. You have taught us to expect your products to be brilliant, please live up to the expectations you set.

    You're incorrect. The specs for 10.8 and its individual features were posted on Apple's website right after the WWDC in early June.

    The mbp is less than two years old
    You may have purchased it less than two years ago, but the model in your profile was introduced in early April, 2010. The 13" MBP has been updated three times since then, the OS, twice. This is why AppleCare described your MBP model as "old," which it is.
    Old is old and new is new, and ne'er the twain shall meet, if you get my drift.

  • 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.

  • Does anyone know about Master Collection CS6 performance problems on OSX Mountain Lion?

    I have a 15" MBP (late 2011) and I'm having some poor performance problems even after a clear install, reindexing the system and fixing all permission errors in Disk Utility. I have some suspicions about compatibility problems with Adobe Master Collection CS6 cause those are the programms I always work with and in wich I have experienced a bad performance.
    Hardware test says everything is fine. Any sugestion?

    Guys, I suffered the same problem for 4 days.  I am on the new MBP Pro Retina Display + Mountain Lion 16GB Ram, etc...
    I first thought it was to do with retina display however no, that is not the case.
    SOLUTION (sounds odd but works):
    The only way I found to fix it, is setting photoshop to use the East Asian text engine instead of the Middle East one. (Prefs -> Type -> East Asian). Then restart Photoshop.

  • I have a late 2011 model MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion.  I love the AirPlay mirroring feature with Apple TV...BUT, how do I mirror with TVs that don't have Apple TV?  I used to run a cable from my mini display port to the HDMI input of a TV.

    I have a late 2011 model MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion.  I love the AirPlay mirroring feature with Apple TV...BUT, how do I mirror with TVs that don't have Apple TV?  I used to run a cable from my mini display port to the HDMI input of a TV.  This feature seems to be lost in the Mountain Lion upgrade.  Did Apple feel that once Mountain Lion came out that EVERYONE would have Apple TV?  There are no settings in System Preferences/Display like there used to be...only for AirPlay Mirroring.

    Running a cable to the HDMI port is still supported. (and still works on mine).
    If the Arrangement tab in System Preferences > Displays isn't present then it doesn't recognize the physical connection.  Double check all cables.  If that doesn't work try a PRAM reset:

  • How do YOU manage multiple displays in Mountain Lion?

    I'm finding that Mountain Lion's changed display management awfully hard to rationalize. I recently purchased a Macbook Air. I love it, but as a developer I did need more screen real estate. A few days ago I plugged an external 22" monitor in and was horrified to discover that a) full-screen mode renders one display worthless b) flipping between spaces flips BOTH screens.
    This is entirely incomprehensible to me, but I'll leave the question of the wisdom of the decision for others to debate.
    What I want to do is simple. Either:
    a) be able to flip between spaces on either display INDEPENDENT of the other
    and/or
    b) Flip between spaces on one display while leaving the other untouched. For example, using one as a reference screen while flipping between the browser and my code editor.
    So, fellow developers and power users, how do YOU manage this scenario? Is there some 3rd-party utility that allows me to easily restore the functionality I had in previous versions of OSX?

    Why not start here.

  • Multiple Monitors with Mountain Lion

    "Detect Displays" doesn't work with Mountain Lion so I am unable to use multiple monitors without jumping through a million hoops. Anyone else have this problem? I think Apple needs to FIX THIS!

    There is a third party menu bar application that seems to restore most of the functionality that used to be available under the Display icon in the menu bar.
    Also, you can still switch between mirror/extended desktop by hitting Cmd-F1.
    If, somehow, your mac fails to automatically detect a connected display, though, I don't know any equivalent to the old "Detect Displays". It usually does detect them automatically, and in the very few occasions it hasn't, disconnecting and reconnecting the cable has worked for me.
    All in all, not ideal, and I wished they had kept the functionality; but all is not (completely) lost.
    Save As... is back, so here's hoping that "Show displays in the menu bar" will return as well.

  • Using an external non-Apple display on a MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion

    On Friday I upgraded to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard and now I am not able to use my 23" Samsung monitor exclusively as my display. I can mirror the MacBook Pro's display, but then my HD monitor's resolution is downgraded.
    I used to start-up my MacBook Pro pushing the "On" button and then quickly closing the notebook. When it has started and the display was shown on my Samsung monitor, I opened the MacBook and all would be well. I had the benefit of the full HD resolution of my Samsung monitor, with all the menus and the MacBook's screen would be blank. If I follow the same steps now, the moment I open my MacBook, everything shifts back to the MacBook and the external screen only shows the background picture, with no menus.
    I am a photographer and use the large HD-quality screen to see fine detail when I am doing editing. I do not like to work on two screens at the same time, and would prefer it to just keep on working in the same way as previuosly.
    Can someone please give me advice on my problem?

    This may help but then it may not. I tested it with my iMac and non-Apple second display so results may vary.
    With both the MacBook and the second display powered on go to the Apple Menu > System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement
    Drag the Menu Bar to the second display and then drag the display itself to the other side of the second display. This should allow acces to the dock and Menubar on the non-Apple display and achive your desired results.
    Note: If I sleep my iMac the second display stops so you may need to keep your MacBook open to use these settings
    Hope that helps

  • HDMI, Mini Display Port and Mountain Lion

    Hello,
    After reading about numerous issues concerning the Mini Display Port and Mountain Lion, I'm trying to discuss it here with you all to see if there is any solution.
    I have a MacBook Pro (2009), and used it with my TV (HDMI cable + Mini display port adaptor) with Plex media center back when it was on OS X Lion. It was very convenient because as a portable computer, it could easily be set near the TV and allow the use of a remote to sit in the couch and stream media from the Time Capsule… without the help of any expansive box. Perfect setup I've had for over a year.
    The thing is, since I've upgraded to Mountain Lion, when I try to connect the MacBook Pro to the TV, the screen turns blue as if it was calculating the resolution of the monitor so… ok. Until it comes back, and nothing changed either on the MacBook Pro screen or on the TV.
    Harware side, I've tried with the computer open, closed, I've checked every port and connection on both computer, TV and adaptor.
    Software side, what I find really annoying in Mountain Lion is that they completely ditched every monitor setting as long as nothing is connected — and even if the Mini DP is connected… the Mac thinks it's not. I even tried to reset the PRAM. This is a nightmare.
    I've tried to do the same with my iMac (mid 2011), and it all worked properly. What I can't explain is why it works on my iMac and not on the MBP… as they have the same configuration !
    I don't know if Apple is outcasting old devices so people buy new Apple stuff or if they ditched the HDMI out on certain (old) devices on purpose so users replace it by the new airplay mirroring feature and buy the Apple TV. I won't, because let's say it's a total crap compared to other media center solutions. And I'm bored of Apple.
    Please, HELP NEEDED ! Has anyone had the same issue ? I bet you have ! Now how can we solve that ?
    Thank you for your time.

    EDIT : stopped working on iMac too… then update 10.8.2 fixed the issue. Now it works. Thanks Apple for temporarily removing some features ! It's just so ANNOYING.
    Hope you gonna stay with the few we have left on Mac and stop removing things randomly. Not event talking about the pro environment (designers, developpers, etc.) that is almost gone. 2 years and our macs will be tablets. Careful with the old clients… it's been almost 10 years I'm on a Mac and I've never been so unhappy.

  • Airplay mirror imaging icon will not show up on my macbook pro even though i downloaded mountain lion. How do i get airplay icon to appear on my macbook pro?

    i have a macbook pro (almost positive that its a 2010 version) and i got mountain lion. The BIGGEST AND MAIN REASON i bought mountain lion was so that i can do airplay, allowing me to mirror image what is on my mac to my Apple TV. my whole computer is updated as far as the displays and newer features but the small airplay icon will not show up on the top of my screen. therefore, not allowing me to mirror image what is on my mac to my tv... it is connected to the same wifi as my apple tv. idk what to do. could it be because my macbook pro is a 2010? desprately looking for help...please help me with this issue
    thank you

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404 AirPlay Mirroring requires an Early 2011 or newer MacBook Pro, so your MacBook Pro isn't supported.
    To mirror your MacBook Pro's display onto the Apple TV, you can use an application like Beamer or AirParrot even if AirPlay Mirroring isn't compatible

  • After upgrading to mountain lion I cannot use my HD TV as a display through my thunder port and HDMI cable ???

    after upgrading to mountain lion I cannot use my HD TV as a display anymore using thunderport and HDMI , which worked before , does this mean I have to buy apple tv to mirror onto my HD TV

    can it be something related to wi-fi?  I have read other posts talking about loss of connection using wifi.  I'm connecting my G5 through an airport express which is expanding my wifi generated from my Apple Time Capsule. It is quite difficult for me to relocate the server close to the Time Capsule and vice versa but if it works, at least that would be something.  It was working with Lion about 3 months ago - showing up in Finder, etc.
