Notification banners and alerts on dual displays

I have a mid-2011 MacBook Air connected through HDMI to a 24 in 1080p Asus external display. Notification banners and alerts will only show up on the Air display, and I would prefer to have them appear in the upper right corner on both displays. I haven't found any information through numerous Google searches, or among other Apple support discussions. Is there a setting or way to do this?
Thanks in advance

As far as I can tell, the only control you have over where those banners and alerts appear on multiple displays is by changing which display is the "main" display. If you go into System Preferences > Displays, under the "Arrangement" tab, you can drag a little menu bar to one display or the other. In my tests, the alerts and banners always show up on whichever one has the menu bar in this preference pane.

Customize notifications (banners and alerts)

Is there any way one could make any notification in Mavericks interactive?
I started using Airmail instead of Mail.app and I noticed that you can customize the actions on the notification only if you use alerts. But they're annoying to me, since I have to manually dismiss them. So I thought maybe there's a way around.
So: can I make a notification interactive (using scripts or Automator, something) ? Can I make an alert to disappear on its own, to resemble a banner (again, using scripts or some Automator trick)?
Thanks.

Hi There,
Can you please explain more and detailed, because the way that you explained, is really confusing. I have an Ipod Touch 4th generation, and if you go to Notifications, and click on the App that you want to be notified, it will say "Nothing, Banners, Alerts". Banners are at the top, and Alerts are boxes in the middle of the screen. If you want, you could ask support.
How to change Notifications:
Settings > Notifictions > (Pick the app you want to be notified) > Tap on None,Banners, or Alerts.

Notification Rules and Alerting

I created 5 rules from the section "Notification Rules" using same user ID.
Is it possible to alert different email groups for each notification rule from the same ID. We select "send e-mail" option from the Notification Rules section, we will be recieving alerts for the e-mail ID that was configured in the General Section under --> Preferences. How do we configure the rules to notify different group's using the same ID.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Loc,
Can you please help me in finding the "Add Actions page (2nd step in The Edit rule set process)" I cannot find that option when I select the rule and say EDIT --> Actions page --> "E-mail notification, Advanced notofocation Methods and Clear Alert(These are only the options available in Actions page)".
Sorry for asking the basic stuff... FYI - I am actually using OEM 11.1.0.1

International Data Pack - Notifications Warnings and Alerts

I recently added an $85/300Mb International Data Pack to my iPad. I received no Activation Confirmation, no data usage notificationa at 50%, 85% etc, and no warnings on activation in a new country. I lie awake at night and ponder these things, and the answer is quite simple: If you apply for an International Data Pack to be applied to an iPad (and most likely any Mobile Broadband device) the Pack will be applied OK, and it will work OK, but you will never get any SMS notifications, usage warnings or new country cost alerts!!An iPad SIM is only a 3G device (or 4G on later models) Telstra SMS notifications are in the 2G band, actually not even 2 G, they are sent in the signalling channels associated with voice calls, so SMSs can not technically be received on a 3G/4G Only device such as an iPad!You can try it yourself, turn off any web based messaging such as “iMessage” and send an old fashioned SMS TXT from your phone to your iPad number - your iPhone will not mark it as “Not delivered” but your iPad will never receive it.ps - you dont actually need to turn off iMessage, you can not send an iMessage to your iPad number either!You will see some messages on your iPad, (including SMS messages) but these are messages to your iPhone and only where/when you have your iPad and iPhone messages synced.You will also note that if you turn off iMessage in you iPad settings, you have no options to send an old-fashioned SMS (Thats because it is not technically possible to send (or receive) an SMS from a 3G device!)Others may disagree, so I welcome any debate or alternate opinion

Help - I give up! The website on International Roaming with a pre-paid says: "Usage alertsWe’ll send SMS alerts to keep you up-to-date with your usage. Depending on your Pre-Paid set up you might receive multiple usage and pricing SMS alerts. There is no charge for receiving these SMS alerts.The alerts we’ll send:If you have an International Roaming data pack, we’ll send you an SMS when you’ve have used 50%, 85% and 100% of your data allowance.If you use 100% of your data allowance we’ll send you an SMS reminding you of the cost to use data while overseas.If you’ve set up a Balance Based Automatic Recharge we’ll send you an SMS for every $100 of International Roaming pay-as-you-go (PAYG) data you use.Please note: You can’t opt out of these SMS alerts." Ms_Megahurtz (below) advises me: "....This is why from MyAccount I went into the alerts and enabled email alerts for my iPad so I get those alerts relevant to my iPad Mini 3...." I have been into MyAccount a dozen times, but I can find no path to change any Telstra SMS Alerts (which you can not get on an iPad) to an email alert? I'm a simple emperor of the dark side and the forces of good seem to be prevailing against me, so can anyone help me with keystroke-by-keystroke instructions?

Screen Sharing issues with ML and SL with dual displays??

Don't know if this is a ML issue or was present in Lion (which I never upgraded to)
Setup...
Old setup was 2010ish MBP and only 2006 iMac. Both with SL 10.6.8 and both have two monitors...no issues.
Upgraded to ML on the MBP on release. Realtively painless process. I tried screen sharing today and I get odd responses with the MBP to the iMac. Just so everyone knows, screen 1 is the main iMac screen and screen 2 is the additional monitor. When showing both screens I could see all screen realestate. However, when I changed to only display screen 1 I started having issues. I couldn't get the entire screen to fit within the window nor scroll to show areas not displayed. Sometimes switching between fit in window and no fit, I would get a blank screen. Screen 2 only displayed and all is fine. I noticed on screen 1 that there was a little black bar or open space on the bottom of the window that was exactly the same size that was missing from the top. No ability to fit or scroll would allow the black space to move so that the menu bar on the top of the main monitor would display.
After doing a bit of searching with no luck and scratching my head, I took a look at the Arrangement screen in the display settings. Wouldn't you know it that the main screen (having a smaller resolution than screen 2) was aligned so that the top of each display was even with each other leaving a small space on the bottom of screen 1 compared to screen 2. When I moved screen 1 in the arrangement screen to a more drastic alignment to verify this was the problem...screen sharing crashed when going from both screens to only display screen 1. Tried screen sharing again going from two displays to one, crashed again.
It appears there is some sort of bug or maybe ML and SL screen sharing doesn't like each other when the remote computer has two monitors.
Submitting bug report to Apple but was curious if anyone else has seen this or knows a work around.

I have a similar configuration (Lion 2011 MBP and SL 2009 iMac w/ second display). After installing the recent Remote Desktop update things went awry when trying to share the iMac SL displays with the MPB Lion.
The displays on the iMac are the same resolution, however the second display physically sits a bit lower than the iMac display, so I had adjusted the arrangement to compensate the different heights. The second display is located physically to the left of the iMac display, but that shouldn't have any effect as far as I'm concerned. Screen sharing had worked in this config until the recent Remote Desktop update (on Lion).
I thought about what you mentioned about the display screen arrangement, so I decided to just test it for myself, arranging both displays side-by-side on the displays arrangement control panel. Surprisingly, it worked!
I do consider the Remote Desktop update to be the culprit and there must be some bug associated with that. I'm getting ready to submit a bug report, so hopefully we'll see a fix soon.

Notification settings on iPad 3 are set properly but my new IPad does not get alert badges or rounds on apps with all notifications selected and in notifications center. Why? Others are reporting same problem.

i just bought the new iPad and even though notifications are set exactly the same for mail and my app is turned on and in the Notifications Center and alerts and sounds selected for mail and apps only my iPad 2 is working. No alerts on iPad 3. I see other posts with same problem. Any suggestions or posts re same problem will be appreciated before I return to Apple Store for help. thanks.

Do you have system sounds muted? Check the button above your volume control on the right hand side of the iPad. If, when you change the button you see mute on your screen, you'll restore system sounds. If you see lock orientation, you can restore system sounds by double tapping your home button to bring up the task bar (most recently used apps). With your finger swipe those apps all the way to the right to reveal a mute icon on the left. Touch that icon and you'll restore system sounds.
Let us know if that was the issue.

Since i have updated my iphone everytime i open an app it comes up with a message 'connect to itunes to use push notifications, may include alerts, sounds and icon badges, i have backed up my phone on itunes and restored phone but its still doing it, :(

Return the iPhone and get your money back. It has been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and likely cannot be made

Is there a way to exclude specific calendars from Notifications and alerts?

I have 4 calendars: 1 Exchange and 1 Yahoo that includes 2 shared calendars (wife and MIL). I activate the Yahoo calendars only when I need them and do not need any yahoo reminders at all. When I swipe down the Notifications page, it includes all four calendars including the shared Yahoo calendars. What's worse, I get alerts from all four calendars.
I only want Exchange alerts and notifications. Is there a way to exclude the Yahoo calendars from Notifications and alerts?
Right now, the only way I can eliminate them is by deactivating the Yahoo account in Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars.

Is there a way to only choose specific contacts from an existing group and add to a new group?
I mean there has be a faster way than typing everybody by hand..

Push Notifications. The Message "Connect to iTunes to Use Push Notifications "BBC History Magazine" notifications may include alerts, sounds and icon badges" keeps coming up in Newstand, also happens with National Geographic Magazine. HELP!

The Message "Connect to iTunes to Use Push Notifications "BBC History Magazine" notifications may include alerts, sounds and icon badges" keeps coming up in Newstand, also happens with National Geographic Magazine. HELP!
I have now followed multiple instructions from this and other forums. have turned push notifications off. Turned them on. Have updated to IOS 6. Have signed out and signed back in, have uninstalled all magazines and reinstalled. Have synced, and updated everything in iTunes.
Nothing works,. Also cannot use youtube.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
It might also be a good idea to contact Square for assistance.

How do I use dual displays to have a full screen app on one monitor and another full screen app or the desktop on the other?

How do I use dual displays to have a full screen app on one monitor and another full screen app or the desktop on the other?
I want to have my itunes visualizer on my TV which is connected via HDMI adapter, and still have access to full screen itunes and my desktop on the main display.
Any suggestions? App downloads that can do this? Please let me know.

You can't do it. This has been an issue since Lion.

Dual display color and other related issues...

I have posted this on painter forums, though some of the issues coming together here are directly related to issues w/ Snow Leopard and dual displays. Thought I would try here....
This is so bizarre. When I ever I run P11(I think this is going on in P10 too?) w/ the OS X (snow leopard, 10.6.2 on quad core Intel Xeon Mac Pro, 10 GB of RAM) menu bar on my Eizo(making it the main display), and the Apple Cinema display left as the #2 monitor, I get very annoying brush cursor artifcats left randomly on the Eizo screen after strokes. One cannot predict when the cursor will leave it's gray "marks", but it will do it, sometimes 5 strokes in a row, sometimes after 15 strokes or so? If I move my brush back over them, or change the image percantage view, they vanish, obviously new ones coming back, as I work.
However I put the OS menu bar on the AC display, yet work back on the Eizo, this does NOT happen. No cursor artifacts. Well, at least I can summon the issue
The reason I am doing this is Snow Leopard has bad color issues w/ dual displays (well documented, much to Photoshop CS4 users frustrations, and mine). Apple needs to fix it... but for me to see the right color on the Eizo(this is my main color and superior display), it needs to be the main monitor(menu bar) in 10.6.2.
So, you can see my trap - Accurate color, or annoying cursor artifacts left on the screen (sorry, it really bugs me as I work) as I work in Painter.
Attempted fixes: Trashed all of Painter's prefs, all of Wacom's Intuos 4(latest driver) prefs and software, switched plug ins on the back of the mac for the displays(lots of restarts), ran cache cleaning Cocktail and DiskWarrior, etc. -- no change, as I can duplicate the issue w/ the above set up. A sidebar or maybe be very related note: I have an iMac w/ max amount of ram (model not very old -- maybe 1 or 2 old) and I have had a long standing issue working on the iMacs we have had w/ this brush cursor artifact problem (in Leopard and Snow Leopard). I am on one monitor w/ the iMac, so you know here the menu bar is...hmmmmmmmm.....?
Thanks!, T

Dual Displays and Windows XP

Hello,
I have a MBP with the Radeon X1600 graphics card. Under OS X I can run dual displays without a problem, either extended or mirrored. Using Bootcamp to boot to Win XP, I can only get the 2nd monitor to run extended, I can't get it to run mirrored. What really drives me nuts (short trip) is that I have run it in mirrored mode before when I teach. I go to the Display dialog box and "see" both monitors, but the only way I can get anything now on the 2nd is to run extended? I could update Radeon driver on the Windows side, but I thought BootCamp took care of that and I don't want to mess up my laptop?

It is definitely best to reinstall anytime you make a major system change. You will have to do at least a windows repair although I am not sure if it will fully enable the dual core.
Good Luck
Jeremy

Is it possible to run dual display monitors on a KVM switch between my mac mini and a PC desktop?

I have two 23" monitors utilizing DVI that I currently have plugged into my PC desktop. I'd like to purchase the mac mini and utilize the same monitors for both systems and switch back and forth between the two. So, I'm wondering if it's possible. The only two hangups I can anticipate is dual display capability on the mini (I expect that some adapter will be necessary), keyboard compatibility between the two systems, and finding a switch that will handle all the above. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

I think this video could help you

Other question is the switch box, You will have eight income cables (4 video, 4 usb) and four output cables

LR, dual displays, Photoshop and Win7 (solved)

I've been reading all morning and this is what I think I now know:
Photoshop will use discrete monitor profiles to properly display images on either monitor of a calibrated and profiled dual monitor setup.
Lightroom (and, apparently, Bridge according to some people) uses only the profile associated with the primary display and so the images displayed on the secondary monitor are not properly color managed.
I hope I'm incorrect about that last point and that LR 4 behaves the same as Photoshop with regard to dual monitors and color profiles. Anyone know for sure?
Edit: Never mind. I found a whacked profile for testing purposes. It appears LR and Bridge handle discrete profiles just as well as Photoshop.

This is the way I work: Don't use Lightroom in a full screen window but enlarge the Lightroom Window from the leftside of monitor one into the right-hand side monitor, but just the right panel visable on monitor 2. If you hit the F6 and F7 keys the left- and bottompanels disappear and you have allmost a full screen to work with, and the devolop panel remains on the richt-hand side on monitor 2. Just try, it works complete well at me. gr.
