My mac won't recognize an external monitor. The screen Goes Blue Once, then goes blue again and the second monitor just turns off. I am using an HDMI adapter to a visio TV. I also have my xbox on the tv. Can anyone Help??

Lol, figured out the first part. Just for those who may be searching, when you click on the Display Preferences, and click on the arraingment tab... it not only shows where your two screens will be displayed, but the WHITE BAR at the top of one screen is the dock/toolbar. Click and hold to grab this and just slide it over to the screen you'd like it to be on.
You have to release it IN the screen box, not on top of it... and it should pop right over to the new (or old) screen. At any rate, you can put the dock on either (or any) screen that you prefer.
I am thinking of ordering more of these. Lol. 3 monitor setup seems like it would be crazy good.
Still looking for the answer to keeping the new 16" screen on the right without switching between screen #s with that... not expose... Lion feature.
Thanks. Hope my other question has an answer out here.

  • I reset my 3Gs, but now all I get is the Apple icon. It won't turn off or anything. Is it bricked? What is bricked? How do I fix it please. Can anyone help me please.

    Hi, I've just appear to have deleted my iphone and now all I'm getting is the Apple icon.
    It won't turn off or anything. I have tried holding in the off button and home button together,
    but the icon goes and comes back again. It won't connect to Itunes, as the device is not showing
    up. Can anyone HELP PLEASE. I think I need to reload Iphone back onto the device.

    Try to force your phone into recovery mode. Disconnect it from the computer's USB cord. Turn it off if you can by holding the sleep/wake switch until you see the red slide to off. If you can't turn it off, please continue. Press and hold the home button while plugging it into the computer's USB cord. Continue holding the Home button while iPhone starts up. While starting up, you will see the Apple logo. When you see "Connect to iTunes" on the screen, you can release the Home button and iTunes will display the recovery mode message.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Then you can restore your phone:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

    How did you get your songs onto your iPod Touch?
    If purchase directly from iTunes you can download them again.
    If your iPod is synced to iTunes on a Windows PC, then, sync your iPod to that computer.
    If this is your first Mac, are you migrating from a Windows PC?
    You may be interested in Apple's support pages on switching to Mac from PC.

  • I can't send emails from iPhone until I connect to my wifi! I am with bigpond and have a bigpond email address. Can anyone help me?

    I can't send emails from iPhone until I connect to my wifi at home. I am with bigpond and have a bigpond email address. Can anyone help me?

    Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • When I check for software updates only itunes and random other updates show up but not security updates or safari update. When i check installed updates I realized my last security update was 2011-004 and I still have safari 5.0.6. Can anyone help me?

    Don't panic. OS X 10.5.8 is the most popular PowerPC OS out there. People run it everyday without security breaches, including myself. It isn't Windows!
    If you're really that worried, I highly recommend Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac Home Edition. Supports PowerPC & Intel and Mac OS X 10.4-10.7.

    I just downloaded Yosemite operating system and my computer is extremely slow but also not opening my Adobe applications.  Can anyone help?  thanks!

    First, tell Apple about your problems... with details... and hope for an update that fixes your slowness
    Second, Yosemite sometimes has problems, often related to "default" permissions needing to be changed

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • MY MAC WON'T RECOGNIZE MY EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE

    Hello. I'm the main user in my mac mini so I was trying to avoid my girlfriend from using the external drive, so looking around signed with my girlfriend user, I controled click the external HD icon in the finder and click on information, then I saw an option that I thought could give me the chance to avoid her from looking around at the external drive with her user, after several times trying to do so with my name and my password (I'm supossed to be de administrator) it kept telling me that I was not a sistem administrator. the external drive kept working but I ejected it to see if what I did would work (the other user not beeing able to see into my external HD) but my surprise is that no longer my mac recognizes the external HD. Do you have any clues on what is going on? It can be somethig with the permissions because looking at it with disk utilities it says that no owner activated neither S.M.A.R.T. Can anyone help me?
    thank you

  • I have been given a second hand ipod from a friend for my 3 year old but I am unable to sync it to my itunes account. Can anyone help?

    I have been given an old ipod classic from a friend at work for my 3 year old to have to listen to her Disney songs on. I have tried but I can't get it to sync to my iTunes at all. The computer recognises that there is a device there but it won't link up. I have changed cables as I wasn't using an apple one but I managed to find one. I have tried factory resets and still not further forward. Can anyone help me?

    Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities
    From what I understand is that the device will show up in iTunes but it will not allow you to synchronize media over to the device even after you reset the device. When you say you reset the device, do you mean you restored the device in iTunes? What error message you are getting when attempting to synchronize media?

    Based on other users asking for help with crashes - looks like you don't have enough RAM to run Maverick and other applications at the same time.
    Find Apple has not been clear on what you should do before you upgrade - including finding out what software needs to be upgraded to work with mavericks and exactly how much RAM you need.
    seems 4GB is just not enough.
