Notification center on dual monitors

I think I should be able to decide which monitor notifications are displayed on. My monitors are set up to optimize my Aperture/Lightroom use & that puts my notifications so far to the right they're almost out of sight. If I change which monitor is designated as my primary monitor, I can't view the selected photo on my larger monitor.

Hi BoringGooner,
If the Notification Center on your iPhone is not coming down when you swipe for it, and you have already tried restarting the phone with only temporary relief, the next step would be to back up any data you have on your iPhone and then restore it as a new device. See this article for directions -
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Skype notifications problem with dual monitors

A few days ago I did a fresh install of arch on my laptop (intel graphics) and since then when I am using 2 monitors, one 1366x768(primary-right) and the other 1920x1080, Skype notifications that are supposed to be shown on the primary monitor do not appear at all. From what I read, they do appear but off-screen, as if the primary monitor was 1920x1080. Any ideas what may be causing this issue?
Thanks!

This is related but does not solve the issue for me. It might help someone though http://community.skype.com/t5/Linux/I-m … d-p/259026

How do I setup a dual monitor (ATI fglrx with KDE)?

Hi, I'm trying to setup a dual monitor.. I connected with DVI to DVI and after restarting X the second monitor becomes a mirror/clone of the first (original laptop screen). However, I don't want it to be mirrored. I only want to have windows I drag over to it on the second monitor. How do I do that? In Control Center>Display, I can only choose settings for screen 1, I don't know why it can't find my 2. screen (even though X does).
Here's xorg.conf (I would appreciate if I could stick to only configuring it in Control Center though):
# xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

Try using amdcccle (from the command-line) if you want to avoid configuring in Xorg.conf

Dual Monitor Setup S5-1070t

I am trying to connect a second monitor to my HP S5-1070t desktop It has an AMD Radeon HD 6450 graphics card installed which was ordered with the computer. This card has a DVI and an HDMI port on it. My main monitor is an HP 2011x connected to the DVI port on the card. I am attempting to connect a Compaq Q1859 monitor to the HDMI port using an HDMI to VGA adapter. I updated the AMD Calalyst Control Center to Version 2013.0328.2218.38225. When I run Detect Displays it only shows my HP2011x display.
I scanned through the previous dual monitor questions but I didn't find anything related to my problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
GL Rowe

Here are the original specs and configurable options for your HP Pavilion Slimline s5-1070t CTO Desktop Computer. Here are the specs for your HP Pavilion 2011x WLED backlit monitor and your Compaq Q1859 Widescreen LCD monitor. According to the specs, the 2011x monitor supports both DVI-D and VGA video input connectors, while the Q1859 only supports a VGA video input connector.
You stated the s5-1070t with HD 6450 graphics card supports both HDMI and DVI video outputs but you didn't indicate which type of DVI it is. DVI comes in DVI-I (both analog and digital), DVI-A (analog only), and DVI-D (digital only). Please review this Wikipedia DVI article to determine which type is on your card or post a photo of the ports on the card.
You also indicate you are using a HDMI-to-VGA adapter. There is no way way to "adapt" a digital HDMI signal into an analog VGA signal short of using an expensive digital-to-analog converter. These converters normallly run in the hundreds of dollars and don't always produce good results. Until the monitors are correctly connected without this "so-called" adapter, the computer is only going acknowledge one monitor.
If, and only if, the Radeon HD 6450 supports HDMI and DVI-I, you can connect both monitors as follows and both monitors will work;
Computer ---> HDMI-to-DVI-D (digital) cable ---> HP 2011x Monitor
Computer ---> DVI-to-VGA dongle ----> VGA cable ---> Compaq Q1859 Monitor
Please send KUDOS

How to change font size in Notification center?

Good day
I purchased new monitor with BIG resolution an dfount what font in notification message from Notification Center stay very small
I try to find place where possible change font siza but don't found anything
Please help

AFAIK there is no way to customize this font size. You can't resize the window either.
You need to report it to Apple Feedback so it can be logged and put in the queue to be fixed.

Systemd as user, dual monitor, awesome, popups (long desc inside)?

Okay, this is quite difficult to describe, so please bear with me.
I run systemd as user and awesomewm on a laptop which is normally plugged in to an external monitor for a dual screen. 64-bit Arch, fully updated, running [testing]
I've got my own homebrew script which basically just runs the appropriate xrandr command to enable all the current connected monitors (since AFAIK we still can't make that happen automatically at plugin/out of the VGA cable).
Additionally (may or may not be related), I run unagi for compositing and animated wallpapers using xscreensaver and xwinwrap. unagi is started as a systemd user service (as is awesome itself), as are the animated wallpapers (basically a homebrew service file calling a bash script). Also, I'm using infinality-bundle from bohoomil. None of this (I think) is important.
Now, not sure when this started happening, because I rarely do this, but if I start my laptop up with the external monitor plugged in, it mirrors the display at a fairly low res (I'm assuming 1024x768) which I don't bother about, because I just hit the keybinding for the above-mentioned script and get my full res dual monitor setup.
However, once this happens, any app which pops up, which in my case is synapse (app launcher), gmrun (launcher, run via xbindkeys) and keypassx (when requesting passwords) will always pop up on the primary screen. If launched from the primary screen, it'll turn up right in the center as expected. If launched from the second screen (on the right), it'll turn up on the primary screen, but centered in position w.r.t the second screen (different resolution) and to the right-most edge of the primary screen.
If I start the laptop without an external monitor and add it later on (plug in and then run xrandr) everything works as expected, popups are centered properly.
If I start awesome using gdm (and external monitor plugged in) it doesn't show the mirrored displays and everything works as expected.
Because of the last two statements, I doubt the awesomewm configuration is the problem, but I can't imagine how to proceed debugging this. Any suggestions?
EDIT: And as usual, immediately after worrying at this for a day and then posting this thread, I found something that 'works'. Restarting awesome in this case fixes it, and it remains fixed thereafter (till the next restart).
This raises another question though, I remember awesome would automatically restart with xrandr screen changes before, why isn't it doing so now? Or is it doing so too early perhaps?

Well shit. I guess I didn't need to do all that other stuff. I only wish I'd known about this before wasting most of my day. Thank you very much, everything appears to be working flawlessly now.

Notification center interferes with full-screen apps (incl. games)

The new notification center interferes with games.
When you are making control movements on the screen, a little grey tab keeps appearing at the top middle of the screen.
Just from using it, it seems the notification center has a full-screen mode and a normal mode. For apps which are running in full-screen (includes games, but also built in apps such as YouTube and Photos when they are in full-screen mode), the gesture which normally brings down the full notification center just brings down a little gray tab at the top middle of the screen. You can then slide that tab down, if you really want the notification center.
But in games, the tab keeps appearing when you don't want it, and it has nothing to do with the gameplay. Even in Photos and YouTube, I would be quite happy if the tab did not appear at all in full-screen mode (a single click on these apps takes them out of full-screen mode, then you can drag down the notification center anyway).
It would be very appreciated if an iOS update could add a notification center Settings option to disable the notification center tab drag-down, in full-screen mode.
I can understand that Apple are very unlikely to add an option to disable all notifications in full-screen mode; fair enough. And if a new notification does appear during a full-screen app, then of course dragging that down should still bring in the full notification center. What I don't want is the little grey tab appearing - when I'm just operating with an app in full screen mode, and no new notifications have arrived.
Mike

I agree with both posts and have the exact same issues with iOs 5. I also feel that I've been juked by Apple into upgrading to iOs 5. I had absolutely no desire to slow down my games and add a feature that would interfere with said games, which is all I've gotten with the notification center. No disable option? Seriously, that is just one of the most absurd things I can imagine.
And I hate to burst Apple's bubble, but your CPUs and iOs do NOT multi-task unless it's the 4s (which has two cores). If you (Apple) have the notification center running in the background at the same time that I'm playing my game or typing, the iphone 4 and all versions before it are going to lag or skip while processing the notification center while it ignores the current thread (ie games, interface, etc)! This is the reason the old system was implemented the way it was. I know this for a fact (for example, any games would pause immediately when you recieved a text message, because the iphone is only capable of processing 1 thread).
Honestly, I think apple intentionally added this feature in this way to try to force users to migrate to the 4s because it's a dual core phone, and it won't experience as much lag when running two tasks.
Just add a disable option, some people NEED the performance we had in iOs 4!

Is there a way to leave the notification center open

Hello all,
I wondered if there was a way to leave the notification center open in OS 10.8.1.
Maybe via the terminal?
I am using a 30" monitor and to me it would make sense to have NC alway open.
Thanks a lot.
Cheers.

You can poke around yourself, but right off I do not see how this is possible in customizing the plist.
Finder>Go>Go to folder>
/System/Library/CoreServices/Notification Center.app
You can right click to open> Show Package Content.

How do I set up my emails to show in notification center?

How do I get my emails to show in my notification center? Also, how do you get your emails to go to Trash not archive?

Which adaptor? What kind of LCD?
Normally, all you have to do is attach the appropriate cable to your laptop, connect it to your other monitor/screen, and make sure the monitor is powered, turned on, and has the correct input (if it has multiple inputs). For example, a monitor might have DVI and VGA, and an "input switcher" to select which one you want.

Why recent items are not shown in notification center (only unchecked appear)?

Hi guys,
in notification center (ios 5 iphone 4s) I am able to view only uncheck notification, as unread mail or tweet, events programmed for the next day and so on. It seems strange becouse in setting-->notification center--> you can choose:
1,5,10 unread message for mail and
1,5,10 recent items for other apps.
does anybody know how to make appear recent item in notification center? or should I suppouse that recent items mean unchecked items?
ps: and there's also no notification in notification center for facebook. did anybody fix it?

No, it does not add that reference.
Any way,I am trying to use Sample Powershell Monitor using Powershell Script.

"Incorrect expression specified: New-Object System.Data.DataSet
Here is the output of script

I am using my macbook pro with an external monitor when i am at home. So basically i a have a bluetooth mouse and keyboard with my macbook shut. There are a few things I miss with the trackpad like getting to the notification center and the app exposè. Is there a way to get there with magic mouse? Are there any keycommands for these?

Xrandr, dual monitor, openbox - setting the main monitor?

Hello fellow archers,
got some kind of nasty problem here:
I got a notebook (on the right side) and a old monitor (on the left side).
By using the handy xrandr tool I can set up dual monitors (almost) fine:
xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1400x1050 --left-of LVDS
That should do the trick, but unfortunatle conky and gmrun than appear on the left-monitor. But I would like to have my notebook screen as the main-screen.
So basically I would like to have what I get with
xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1400x1050 --right-of LVDS
just with the minor difference that I can swap screens when I move my mouse over the left-notebook-edge / right-monitor-edge instead of the other way round.
Hope you get what I mean and maybe someone even knows a solution.

err. there has to be a more elegant solution! openbox has excellent support for dualheading now.
the xrandr thingie togehter with kde works like this afaicr:
xrandr --output 1 --right-of 2
leads to :
[ screen 2 ] [screen 1 (main)]
maybe this works with openbox just as well
cheers Barde
EDIT: i'm an idiot ^^ there is an option in the openbox configuration file... it's called placement and it's under
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<openbox_config xmlns="http://openbox.org/3.4/rc">
</snip>
<placement>
<policy>Smart</policy>

<center>yes</center>

<monitor>Any</monitor>

</placement>

Dual Monitor 8500GT

I just installed an MSI 8500GT into an HP tower and the Dual Monitor setup doesn't seem to work. I installed the unit on an HP a1410n. Here are the specs for the a1410n.
http://reviews.cnet.com/desktops/hp-pavilion-media-center/4507-3118_7-31851077.html?tag=sub
I am using model, NX8500GT-TD256E.
First off, when I boot up the computer with both monitors, I get no display, after unplugging both monitors and reattaching only the primary monitor, I can get a display after Windows boots up. Once windows is up and running when I attempt to setup a dual monitor, the primary screen gets scrambled and is unusable, and the other does not do anything. I hope this can be fixed with software, as I do not want to go through an RMA process. Any help would be appreciated. Let me know if more information is necessary.

At first I was using whatever came with the card. I have tried it using the latest drivers that nVidia offers.

Notification center not responding

Despite the last update OS X 10.8.2 , the Notification center stops responding. I have to shut down/restart the iMac or to have kill the proces with acivity monitor. Most of the time when I restart or completely shut down and start I have to reset, by power button, my iMac (mid 2011) because the start procedure will not finish and end up with an empty desktop.
Today also email app froze on me. Is there an other update on the way to fix these problems or are there any suggestions that I could look into?
Kind regards,
