Multiple screens support in iTunes/FrontRow

hello everyone,
can someone tell me a solution for my issue:
I have a second screen attached to my macbook. I can use VLC or Mplayer to watch videos on my second monitor. But I can not do this using iTunes or FrontRow. There are several effects that really do bother me.
First of all, when I switch to fullscreen during video playback, the video is always displayed in full screen on the main monitor. Usually my macbook is set as main monitor.
The solution would be to change the main monitor to my big screen but this would still not fix the second problem. The second monitor will always be black during fullscreen playback.
Furthermore I would like to have the dock and the menu bar still available during playback.
Another solution would be to move the video window to the second screen and use the fit to screen option, but then there is still the title of the window which is annoying me.
It's working fine with VLC and MPlayer. Is there a solution for iTunes and FrontRow?

There have been numerous discussion threads on the same issue. The answer is you do have to drag it over to the second display (the iTunes main window) if that's the display you want the visualizer and/or movies to play full screen in. However, this will make the other display (say, your computer) go dark and you will have no access to any iTunes controls during playback. This is really a problem for me too. QuickTime Pro does do this correctly, however it is impractical for managing and organizing playlists on the fly as when deejaying a party.
You can mirror the displays as you said or just drag the iTunes window to the second display (TV), but either way you will have no access to your iTunes controls.
Again, you can use QuickTime Pro (not in mirror mode) and choose Present Movie, then click on the display you want it on. Apple really needs to adjust this in iTunes... everyone is requesting it!

After I tried to update my iPod 4 to iOS 5, my screen turned to the USB cord pointing to the iTunes symbol. When I try to restore it, it says that the 3014 error has occured. I went to check for support on iTunes and I did download the latest version of iTunes (11.1.1). I tried to restore it again and the same error occured. I dont understand half of the instructions for the resolution of the 3014 error code so I did the instructions that I understood and nothing has changed. Please tell me how I can fix it.

Just what do you not understand?
Did you try:
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
Error 3014
This error occurs when iTunes can't reach gs.apple.com in a timely fashion. Follow the steps below to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com.

Have you done a Disk Repair and a Disk Permissions Repair?
If that doesn't resolve the problem I would suggest calling customer support about this issue as it is most likely on their (Apple's) end that the problem exists.

How do multiple family members use iTunes.? One account or multiple?

How do multiple family members use iTunes. One account right now but apps gets added to all devices and iTunes messages go to all devices. Can multiple accounts be setup and still have ability to share purchased items?

Hey Ajtt!
I have an article for you that can help inform you about using Apple IDs in a variety of ways:
Using your Apple ID for Apple services
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4895
Using one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store Purchases
You can use different Apple IDs for iCloud and Store purchases and still get all of the benefits of iCloud. Just follow these steps:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
When you first set up your device with iOS 5 or later, enter the Apple ID you want to use with iCloud. If you skipped the setup assistant, sign in to Settings > iCloud and enter the Apple ID you’d like to use with iCloud.
In Settings > iTunes and App Stores, sign in with the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match). You may need to sign out first to change the Apple ID.
Mac:
Enter the Apple ID you want to use for iCloud in Apple () menu > System Preferences > iCloud.
Enter the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match) in Store > Sign In. In iTunes 11, you can also click iTunes Store > Quick Links: Account.
PC (Windows 8):
Enter the Apple ID you want to use for iCloud in the Control Panel. To access the iCloud Control Panel, move the pointer to the upper-right corner of the screen to show the Charms bar, click the Search charm, and then click the iCloud Control Panel on the left.
Enter the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match) in iTunes. In iTunes 10, select Store > Sign In. In iTunes 11, click iTunes Store > Quick Links: Account.
PC (Windows 7 and Vista):
Enter the Apple ID you want to use for iCloud in Control Panel > Network and Internet > iCloud.
Enter the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match) in iTunes 10 in Store > Sign In. In iTunes 11, click iTunes Store > Quick Links: Account.
Note: Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID for your iTunes Store account, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days. Learn more about associating a device or computer to your Apple ID.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

I created an Apple ID using my ISP Email when I registered at the Store/Apple Support Communities/iTunes/Face Time and it does not work in iChat. Why Not ?

Question:-
I created an Apple ID using my ISP Email when I registered at the Store/Apple Support Communities/iTunes/Face Time or other portal and it does not work in iChat. Why Not ?
Answer:-
For a Name to work in iChat it has to be an Valid AIM screen Name.
Only Apple IDs from the @mac.com ending names registered here and the Mobileme (@Me.com ending) names are Valid with the AIM service as well as being Apple IDs
(I am still working on info about registering with iCloud at the moment but if this does give you an @Me.com email it may well be a valid AIM name as well)
NOTES:-
The @mac.com page works by linking an external (Non Apple) email with a @mac.com name.
This External Email cannot be one linked to an Existing Apple ID (you have to use a second email or register at AIM )
The options at AIM are to use your existing email or create new name and link the existing only for Password recovery
MobileMe (@me.com ending names) were valid Emails addresses, Apple IDs AND a Valid AIM Screen Name
@mac.com names look like emails but are only Apple IDs and iChat/AIM Valid Screen Names.
The AIM registration page seems to be pushing you to register [email protected] This is relatively new and I have not followed through the pages to find out if it a valid AIM email (Previously you could register a name without an @whatever.com suffix)

Question:-
So I have my current [email protected] email in iChat as I thought as I had linked that to an Apple ID it was a Valid iChat Name. It keeps coming up with a UserName or Password Invalid message. What do I do next ?
Answer:-
Open iChat
Go to the Menu under the iChat name in the Menu Bar and then Preferences and then Accounts in the new window.
Commonly written as iChat > Preferences > Accounts as directions/actions to take.
If it displays with a Yellow running name in the list you have a choice.
Either register it at AIM (I would use a different password to the ISP Login) and then change the password only in iChat (It may take you to confirm any Confirmation email from AIM first) in iChat > Preferences > Accounts
Or you register a new Name at AIM (Or at @mac.com) and enter that (details below)
If you have a Blue Globe name (@mac.com) that will not Login the chances are that it the password that is the issue.
Apple lets you create longer passwords than can be used with the AIM Servers.
Change the Password at iForgot to no more than 16 characters.
Then change the password in iChat as details above.
Adding a new Account/Screen Name in iChat (that is valid with the AIM servers)
Open iChat if not launched.
Go to iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts
Click the Add ( + ) Button at the bottom of the list.
Choose in the top item drop down either @Mac.com or AIM depending on what you registered
Add the name (with @mac.com the software will add the @mac.com bit)
Add in the password. (If you don't add it now iChat will ask you each time you open it)
Click Done.
The Buddy List should open (New Window)
The Accounts part of the Preferences should now have the new name and you should be looking at the details.
You can add something in the Description line which will then title the Buddy List (Useful when you have two or more names) and make it show up as that in the iChat Menu > Accounts and the Window Menu of iChat when logged in.
You can then highlight any other Account/Screen Name you don't want to use and use the Minus ( - ) Button to delete it.

Android Multiple Screens

Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible with Adobe air to allow for multiple screens in Android. I have a HTC Incredible and a Galaxy Nexus both of which support video out. Android currently only supports mirroring for Video out. I wanted to know if it would be possible for adobe air to recognize the video out of the device as an external display that use either a MHL HDMI Out (Galaxy Nexus) or Analog-Composite video out (HTC Incredible). To illustrate a scenario that would use this: let say the app is a gallery and has x amount of pictures. The user has a video out cable connected and is recognized as the second monitor. Once the user sees a picture they like they would click on the image. Once the image is clicked it is sent to the 2nd display (the video out of the Android device) so the picture is being displayed on the larger screen while the user is still free to browse the pictures. Is this in realm of Adobe Air capabilities? Or am I misinterpreting "Multiscreen Development"?
Thanks,
-Nick

2) When I upgraded my iPhone 3gs, to the latest version 5.0.1 (9A405), is when I noticed that i couldn’t update my applications. There are two names/accounts on the phone and prior to the update there was just the one. I have tried entering every conceivable password that I have ever used and get the incorrect password error every time. The apps on the iPhone are apparently associated with several/different accounts. I just want to get everything back to the way it was. One id and one password with purchases associated with just one account that can be updated on my computer as well as my iPhone.

Feature Request - Better Multiple Monitor Support

Lightroom's support for a second display has definitely helped my workflow. I hope the team will consider adding more flexible multiple monitor support in version 4. Here's why.
I've recently experimented with running one of my three screens in portrait mode. When this screen hosts Lightroom's secondary display window in Loupe view, my verticals finally get equal real estate for editing. While I've not done hard statistics on my library, I know more than 50% of my imagery is in portrait orientation.
I'd like to see LR V4 support three or more screens so I could set up as follow:
Screen 1 - main lightroom interface, would not need to be calibrated, for controls and navigation
Screen 2 - Portrait orientation, loupe view - this would be a calibrated display, all develop changes to verticals would be judged on this screen
Screen 3 - Landscape orientation, loupe view - another calibrated display, all develop changes to horizontals would be judged on this screen
If Adobe could make the app intelligent enough to route the image to the correct screen based on orientation (recognizing and respecting cropping that could change orientation) my edit sessions would certainly speed up and I could maximize the productivity of multiple screens.
I'd be happy with this, but I'm also stymied by the need to switch back to Library mode to tag images when my primary workflow has me in develop. Ultimately everything depends on the quality of the image. Before I invest in image-specific meta data, I have to process or at least "test-process" an image. IMO the Quick Develop panel is useless, once you become accustomed to the granular control of the develop sliders, it just doesn't cut it.
In the three monitor setup I described above I'd love to be able to configure screen 1, with a combination of panels from Library and Develop, so I could stay "develop centric" with immediate access to keywording and meta. The two additional screens would intelligently handle image display.
I think this might speed my workflow by 33% and having just returned from a Tour de France project that generated 23,000 images I need all the productivity help I can get.

Thanks for all those votes Rob. Now we just need to get the other 999,999 on board.
Actually, this topic has come up a lot on this forum. At this point, I think we just need to get Adobe on board.
VeloDramatic wrote:
There may be another thread for this one additional thought. If Adobe does improve multiple monitor support, we should be able to optimize our previews for those screens. Even after prerendering 1:1 previews there are issues with DEVELOP doing its own thing (I believe) each time a new image is loaded. I make extensive use of the PREVIOUS button moving through my shoots and there's always a lag of one or two seconds while the develop preview loads before the button is active. In a desktop environment where multiple screens allow landscape and portrait images to be displayed full screen I'd argue that 100% of the host screen resolution would be the ideal preview. Hope that made sense.
Yes, faster switching would be nice. I'm not sure what that would take. As it stands, there's like "9" previews generated when you do 1:1s - 100% down to tiny thumbnails. Still, one at exact monitor size that does not need to be resized at all does seem like it would be the fastest - I'm a bit on a limb though at this point.

Using Multiple Screens

Does anyone know if Premiere Elements 4.0 can be broken a part in components to use on multiple screens?

It all depends what you're wanting to do, t.
The quality of the output for both is indentical.
If you're wanting to edit, add titles, effects, transitions, keyframe effects, add motion paths across pictures and create DVDs, either program will work.
If you need embedded timelines, increased support for a wider range of media, broadcast functions for tuning color ranges and other professional features that I barely understand, you need Pro. And, if you plan to produce deep-level DVD menus, you may need Encore rather than Premiere Elements' basic DVD creator.
So it's up to you. There are many professionals using Premiere Elements. So it's kind of like Photoshop Elements vs. the full version of Photoshop -- if you don't understand the differences, you can probably get along fine with the consumer version.
As I've said, the quality of the results from the Elements and Pro versions are identical.

Multiple screens & Excel dialog box placement

I'm using multiple screens with my 13" Retina Macbook Pro, and what is really annoying is that Excel places it's dialog boxes in a strange location where I cannot action them or move them.
Does anyone have an idea on how to tell Excel to ignore the other displays and just show me the dialog boxes on the screen/desktop that has the application on? Going to fullscreen or moving the windows to any other displays didnt make any difference; dialog box remains the same

Understandably this is causing these users stress and inconvenience. It is very unproductive and a nuisance to say the least. The only other variable here is that all these users have multiple monitors, usually 2-4. But for some, this happens
in their main monitor and/or the monitor that Excel is opened in and which has the focus. Even more strange is that this does not occur to everyone, just a handful of users so far who have reported the issue. We have also noted it happens with

I have just downloaded 10.5. it gives me a blank screen for the itunes store. No error message. Internet connection fine and I have checked my firewall settings. Any ideas? Or is the store blocked because of ios 5 release today?

I've had the exact same issue since late last night since I downloaded 10.5
I'm also having problems backing up my iPhone, which I suspect is due to the same issue.
I've tried all recommended solutions on forums and Apple support (deleting backups, restarting phone/computer, disabling/uninstalling third party security software, testing port connectivity) and none of them work.
I will try japiohelp's solution and see if that does anything.
