NView -- switched monitor numbers?

I realize this is more of an nvidia question but I figure someone here probably knows the answer to this one real quick:
I have an FX5200 Personal Cinema card running 56.64 drivers in nView dualview mode with primary (#1) on my CRT and secondary on my TV (#2).
My son unplugged my monitor the other day while in use and the card automatically switched my TV to the primary monitor (and renumbered it #1) (there may have been a reboot in there).
I want to switch my CRT back to #1 (and make it primary) and my TV back to #2. I can make the CRT as #2 primary but I can't rename it back to #1 primary.
Basically, I want to make the main VGA out from the card the primary (and identified as #1) and the breakout box (including VGA dongle) secondary (#2) as my default setup.
What I find weird is Display Properties-Settings shows my CRT as #2 but nView Dualview shows my CRT as #1. "Identify" labels my CRT as #2. How can I correct this? I've tried going to single monitor mode and also disconnectin the TV but the CRT still shows up as #2 (and #1 is simply greyed out).
Anything I can do to fix this short of reinstalling the driver?

I had already tried out the instructions for switching it over as you say but I still had a discrepancy between Display Properties-Settings and the Nvidia menus in the way the monitors were numbered but...
I took your advice and changed it to clone (and then back to single and then to dualview; between each one of those I was prompted for a restart which I took to be a good thing) and it's all straightened out now.
Thanks a bunch!

Switch phone numbers between 2 different sized SIM Cards?

I have an HTC One and my dad has an iPhone 5. I want to switch phones with him but the iPhone 5 has a nano sim and the HTC One has a micro sim. Is their a way i can just switch phone numbers on the sim card? for example I have my phone number on my can I transfer it to my dads? and vise versa.

Contact your carrier to have them give you appropriate sized sim cards with the correwct numbers and services.
Alternatively, you can cut the larger sim card down to the correct size, and place the smaller sim card in an adapter to make it larger.

But contacting your carrier would be the better option.

Multiple Minis with Multiple Switched Monitors Losing Monitor 2

Hi.
I am working on an installation with six new Mac Mini's (Lion) and we are using dual screen HDMI outputs on both. The Monitor 2 (HDMI) output goes to the display screen "on stage" and the Monitor 1 (Thunderbolt to HDMI) output goes to a local HDMI switched monitor for local viewing and programming. The problem is that when we switch the local monitor from Mac 1 to Mac 2 and then back to Mac 1, Mac 1 will have lost its connection to Monitor 2, defaulting back to Single Monitor Output. Changing the monitor arrangement is not an option.
Is there any way around this?
Thanks.

When you switch the monitor away from a particular Mac, that Mac no longer receives a signal back from the monitor. The Mac then assumes it has been disconnected which in reality is true. The Mac therefore reconfigures itself accordingly.
In some circumstances like yours, and more commonly people using a TV as a display via an AV Receiver, this can be counter to what is desired. There is a solution but it is not free, Gefen make a device called a HDMI Detective which 'learns' the signal the TV sends, and then will keep sending it to the Mac even when the TV (or monitor) is disconnected. They also make a DVI version see http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=8005 and http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=4715
It should be noted that if you are running audio via HDMI, then when the Mac loses the HDMI connection it also resets the sound to go via the built-in speaker. The Gefen HDMI Detective Plus also solves this.

Can I switch phone numbers between two iPhones?

I have ordered a 3GS, replacing my wife's 2G model. She will now get my 3G model. Do we have to change phone numbers or is there a way to move my 3G number with the 3GS and vice versa. It would be much better if that was possible.

I also wish to switch phone numbers between phones. I just got off the phone with AT&T customer support. You can handle this over the phone. Need to have the two phones in hand at the time. I got through to customer support today with less than one minute on hold. I was quite surprised. AT&T must have really staffed up for the release.

Command-tab pop-up list of apps switches monitors

The command-tab pop-up list of apps switches monitors sometimes on my two-monitor system. Why? Why doesn't it always appear on the monitor with menubar specified in Displays preference panel? How do I switch it back when it moves to the wrong monitor? Very annoying because I can't figure out why it moves to the other monitor in the first place! (actually running OS X 10.9.4 -- not Mavericks -- but you don't seem to have a community for OS X 10.9)

That unfortunately doesn't work. I just tried it. For the last couple minutes, the command-tab app list has been appearing on my "main" monitor (the one I selected in Display prefs to have the menu bar). When I click in my "secondary" monitor to highlight its menu bar and then type command-tab, the app list still appears on the main monitor. Doesn't make a difference whether I click on the desktop background or a Finder window or an app window on the secondary monitor, when I hit command-tab the app list still appears on the main monitor. And all of that is OK. I'd like to have the command-tab app list ALWAYS appear on the main window.
The problem is that sometimes the app list switches to the secondary monitor and I don't know why. And after that happens, I can click all I want on the main monitor -- desktop, Finder window, application window -- and the app list still appears on the secondary window when I type command-tab. I'll give up trying to make it switch to the main window and then, at some point, I'll notice that it has switched back to the main window. I can't figure out why it has this behavior, which seems to be random. Or at least I can't figure out what to do to make the pop-up app list return to the main window.

Illustrator CS5 automatically switching monitors

Hello,
I am running Illustrator CS5 on Windows 7 64 with dual monitors and my problem is that every time I open Illustrator it starts on the main monitor to the left. All of the other CS5 applications remember where they start and stay there. If I move Illustrator to the other monitor (right) and start a new file the application switches back to the other monitor automatically (left). If I then switch it back (right) and start working it will automatically switch monitors again (left). I have a Wacom tablet mapped to the monitor on my right and I can't seem to keep the application there. Photoshop CS5, Fireworks CS5 and even Illustrator CS4 handle this fine and stay on my monitor to the right. It has made it unusable if I need to to work with my tablet. Please help.

Crash switching monitor resolutions / no crash report

I have a Mac Mini which runs 10.4.11 connected to my Onkyo A/V receiver using a DVI->HDMI adapter cable. I frequently also connect to the Mini from my laptop using Apple's Screen Sharing utility (1.0.1). This kinda-sorta works, but I experience frequent crashes where the Mini reboots itself due to monitor resolution switching. Typically it goes like this:
- connected with Screen Sharing - everything is fine, although 1024x768 seems to be the highest resolution I can get
- turn on A/V receiver and resolution switches -- attempts to switch monitor to 1280x720 (which is what I want) and often the Mini crashes/reboots... or sometimes AppleVLC crashes
Rebooting at this point, with the receiver on usually causes the Mini to have a 1280x720 resolution after the reboot, but there is no crash report for the incident.
So my questions are:
1. Is there some way to force the Mini to think it's always talking to a 1280x720 display, even when the only "display" is via Share Screen? (I mean, this is the best resolution for interacting with the Mini from my laptop anyway.)
2. Is there some display driver upgrade that can be done to prevent the crash.
3. Is there some way to make sure that crashes get logged properly and sent to Apple? (If VLC crashes, then a crash report does get sent, but if the Mini itself crashes, I get nothing.)
Thx,

P.S. I just switched my receiver to a different input (audio only, and shut off my projector), and the Mini crashed in this situation too!
My receiver is an Onkyo PR-SC885 (basically equivalent to Integra DTC-9.8), connected to a Panasonic PT-AE2000U projector (since my primary display is a projector, I hope you can see why the VLC access is essential).

[Z87 MPOWER] Monitor doesn't detect Video. LED-POST switches between numbers

Hey folks!
I build my first PC yesterday and sadly I came over a seemingly unsolvable problem. I made a test-run with the Motherboard on the box, GPU, PGU, RAM, CPU+Cooler. I started it and everything worked fine, but the Monitor doesn't detect graphic input! It detects the cable I uses (HDMI and AVG) AND that I plugged it into a PC, but it just switches into sleeping mode as soon as I start the PC! (The Monitor works fine on my laptop).
Now I removed the GPU and used the onboard graphics with HDMI connection - the same problem! Now, I only have one 8GB-RAM stick, and I switched it between all 4 slots just to be sure - nothing. I double-checked the two PGU cables I have connected (8pin and 24pin ATX) - everything seems fine!
I just can't find the problem and its driving me insane! The only thing that says that something might be wrong is this little LED thing on the mb, it switches between 10 / 19 / 15(I think, its to fast to see!) / 55 endless! That's definitely not normal is it?
Is someone able to help me? I don't want anything more right now than getting this working.
SPECS:
CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
Motherboard: MSI Z87 MPOWER ATX LGA1150 Motherboard

Also if nothing works, can someone tell me what part might be the fault, so I can switch it in?
THANK YOU!

You may be able to repair this.
Remove the cpu and inspect the socket with a bright light and magnifier.
Fine the culprit pin and straighten it if possible. If not just RMA the board.

Switch phone numbers with a family member on a different plan

Hello!
I have a Verizon cell phone plan and my mother has a separate plan. A few years ago my mother got a phone that she absolutely hated so I agreed to take her phone and she took mine. What ended up happening is that she has a phone that I technically pay for each month under my plan and I have a phone that she pays for under her plan. We are both at the end of our contracts now but I want to switch the phone numbers to the proper plans so we pay for our own phones. This is especially important since she wants to cancel her account and go to a different carrier but I want to stay with Verizon.
How do I go about doing this? If she cancels her plan is there a way I can keep the number but bring it to my account and how will this affect my upgrade? I think my mother would also like to bring her current number (the phone under my account) to her new carrier.
Thank you very much for any help you can give me!

Hi irishpat87,
Let's explore options to complete the number swap! As indicated by others (thanks!), doing an Assumption of Liability is a way to accomplish what you want to do and since you are at the end of your contracts (as per your original post), contract length carries over as is. I trust that this will answer your questions fully. Please visit this link http://vz.to/187wQRK for details on the Assumption of Liability process.

IPhoto cant switch monitor profiles in dual monitor mode

Hi,
my problem is that i am using iPhoto 6 (newest version) with the internal screen of my macbook and an external screen. Both are calibrated. Most programms like Photoshop or Capture one or Aperture switch the profiles of the monitors while going from one to another. You can see that, it just takes half a second and the correct color is displayed. iPhoto seems to be not capable of that feature. It stays all the time with the profile of the main monitor selected in ColorSync.
Does anybody else notice this or am i the only one?
The Apple Care Hotline couldnt help at all...
Btw. It is exactly the same problem with Safari.
Cheers
Axel

Thank you Terence for your reply.
I think you are right. But nevertheless I need to know what I am dealing with. Sometimes I am just not sure wether running on the correct profile or not. That makes work sometimes a bit difficult.
Also I am angry because it took me a few days and a thousend nervs to find out what the problem is. Apple doesnt know of this program as far as they told me. I wonder if this is a known "bug" or if this should not be the way it is. Maybe these programs are usually able to switch the profiles. I just dont know. That is what I want to know.
Cheers

About to make the switch monitor question

Hey,
I am about to make the switch and get a Mac Pro and I have a question I need answered. Will I be able to use any LCD monitor with the Mac Pro? I need to figure this out because I think the Apple monitors are a bit out of my price range at this point in time.
Thanks

Which LCD are you talking about?
I have a ViewSonic VE800 VGA LCD and it is fine. Uses the DVI-2-VGA adapter that is included.
I know there is a thread with someone with a problem - not sure how it turned out, whether it was the monitor or video card or something else. Not that many threads in this forum so it should be easy to find. Well, I had to search "Viewsonic": Viewsonic VX2025wm Sleep Problem

Lightroom switches Monitor Profiles

When I click on a video file in the film strip of Lightroom 4.1 with Camera Raw 7.1 it seems that Lightroom switches the profiles of my monitor. I calibrate my monitor using the Color Munki Display and before the calibration there was a horrible blue color cast on the display. Now the colors are natural, but as said, when when i click on a video file the monitor jumps back to the blue color cast it had before. After i close Lightroom the color goes back to normal. When i restart Lightroom everything works just fine until i click on a video file again.
Any ideas?
I'm running MacOS 10.8.2 on a fairly new MacBookPro 15" with 2.3GHz Intel Core i7, 16GB DDR3 Ram and a Samsung SSD.
Thanks for your help and greetings from Germany.

Run LR 2.0 final, not beta. The profiles are not supported by 2.0 beta.

I use multiple monitors, and Firefox switches monitors by itself several times a day (to the main monitor). How to prevent this?

I use Firefox 4, but this happened with Firefox 3 as well.
I have two monitors. I run Firefox maximized on Monitor 2. It switches by itself to Monitor 1 several times a day.
None of my other programs exhibit this behavior.
Windows 7 64-bit.
Thank you!

I have a similar problem with Firefox 12 (Mac OS X 10.7.3). The main tool bar is on monitor 1 and I want to display browser windows on monitor 2. In previous versions this worked fine. Firefox automatically opened on the last used monitor. Now it will only open on monitor 1, and I have to switch it manually. Other software does not show this behavior. I have tried switching off hardware acceleration, to no avail. Is there anything else I can do?
