Possible to add a monitor to extend the desktop (not mirror)?

Do this on all my desktop Macs for reducing clutter (holding palettes).
iMac G5 20". Added a 17" VGA monitor via adapter, but only get them to mirror with same display settings for each. Want a continuation of the desktop.
Is it possible to have another monitor with the iMac for this purpose?

I am lost and need some assistance. I tried to install an anime program on our iMac and found we did not have enough available disc space. I then moved a bunch of software off the hard drive and onto the Applications and personal folders. However, I think I may have moved critical start up and operational files out of touch with the machine. I froze on the desktop with a spinning pin wheel. I unplugged the computer. When I plugged back in and tried starting it up I got to a black screen with grey and white alarms and alerts with code. I could not move from this spot. Then it sounded like an internal drive was starting to spin into orbit. I shut the computer off and I'm afraid I have ruined my best teaching aid. H-E-L-P!!!!!!

  • In contacts there is the possibility to add a new event, as the birthdays, but they do not appear in iCal. Is there any way to make that possible? It is normal to have a person with his birthday, anniversary and others key dates you want to link to him.

    In contacts there is the possibility to add a new event, as the birthdays, but they do not appear in iCal. Is there any way to make that possible? It is normal to have a person with his birthday, anniversary and others key dates you want to link to such person, but the only one shows up is the birthday. How to be able to show all those dates linked to people in the agenda in the iCal?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I sugggest you try my application, Dates to iCal. It is shareware with a 2 week trial period.
    Dates to iCal 2 is a replacement for Apple's birthday calendar for iCal. It has a range of features to allow the user to choose what, and what not, to sync to iCal from Address Book.
    As well as automatically syncing birthday dates from Address Book, Dates to iCal 2 can sync anniversary and custom dates. It can set up to five alarms for each date in iCal and can also set different alarms for birthdays and anniversaries. It allows the option of only syncing from one Address Book group. This application also allows for the titles of the events sent to iCal to be modified to the user's preference.
    Best wishes

    We have a customer who is thinking of using forms, but needs a signature box to be included in the form is this something that can be added?

    Hi,
    Unfortunately, Adobe FormsCentral does not have an option to add signatures.
    In order to distribute forms requesting signatures, you may use the following Adobe products:-

    Thanks in advance

  • Is it possible to add a url/href to the MM_swapImage funtion?

    I have a bit of code I created in Dreamweaver CS3 about 3 years ago that I am revisiting/updating. It has a simple html picture gallery that uses the MM_swapImage function with the onclick command. Basically, there are a few thumbnails with a larger picture on the left. When a thumbnail is clicked, the larger image on the left changes. I'd love to add a link to the new larger image, but I can't think of a way to make this possible using this code. It isn't too important but if anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.
    Here is the code:
    HEADER:
    function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v4.01
      var p,i,x;  if(!d) d=document; if((p=n.indexOf("?"))>0&&parent.frames.length) {
        d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document; n=n.substring(0,p);}
      if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i<d.forms.length;i++) x=d.forms[i][n];
      for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i<d.layers.length;i++) x=MM_findObj(n,d.layers[i].document);
      if(!x && d.getElementById) x=d.getElementById(n); return x;
    function MM_swapImage() { //v3.0
      var i,j=0,x,a=MM_swapImage.arguments; document.MM_sr=new Array; for(i=0;i<(a.length-2);i+=3)
       if ((x=MM_findObj(a[i]))!=null){document.MM_sr[j++]=x; if(!x.oSrc) x.oSrc=x.src; x.src=a[i+2];}
    BODY:
    <img src="../images/THUMBNAIL.jpg" width="73" height="98" title="TITLE" onclick="MM_swapImage('li1','','../images/NEW_IMAGE.jpg',1)" />
    In that code, the 'li1' is the image that gets replaced and the 'NEW_IMAGE.jpg' is the one I'd like to have a url/href attached to.

    Also, and I'd imagine the technique would be similar, would it be possible to add a title attribute to the new image?

    Hi:
    I am trying to add a clickable link to open a web page.  I would like it to be visible on the presentation area (top) of the "Consumer Service Catalog".   I can make the button, but when clicked nothing happens.  I have tried several of the button commands like onclick, but then I get a js error.

  • I have a MB Pro that is running Lion; I also have two external DVI monitors and a DVI splitter in hopes that I could run the two monitors with my MB Pro.   This actually works fine, but I am unable to "extend" the desktop.  Any insights?

    You cannot have a extended desktop using a splitter.  All that does is mirror the pair attached to the splitter.
    You can do this however using a Matrox DualHead2Go.
    Other solution would be to attach one monitor to your video out as you do the splitter and attach the other via USB (assuming the adapter supports the monitor's resolution).

  • Video Mirroring / Extending the desktop

    I have a 12" iBook G3 800mhz dual usb and have just bought a Samsung TFT 17" which works fine and plugged straight in using the apple adapter. I wanted to extend the desktop to have palettes etc. on the laptop screen, then use the 17" for the file window. Is this possible at all on an ibook, or do I need a new graphics card or something? any help appreciated

    You really need a PowerBook to do screen spanning. There is a software hack that will enable you to do it, but it is not recommended by Apple, and can endanger your iBook (i.e., kill it dead). I RECOMMEND THAT YOU NOT DO THIS. I don't usually even post the link.

  • Am I able to extend the desktop when a 27" display is attached to my IMAC 27"

    Am I able to extend the desktop when I use a 27" IMAC and a 27" extra display?

    Hi Donald,
    Go to System Preferences > Displays > and you should see two different windows, one for your iMac's display and one for the extra display. Click on the one for the extra display. Click on the Arrangement tab at the top. In the lower left corner, uncheck the box for "Mirror Displays" and it should go to extended desktop. You may also wish to check the box for Show displays in menu bar if you need to access the Displays pref frequently.

    whats up with that I have one beatles song and one kenny chesney also

    Mate, I'm trying to find out if it was shipped like that or not. If someone else has had the same issue then I can go back to Apple and have them look into it further. If not then as I said Vodafone is selling second hand phones and they will have to replace the phone.
    Vodafone account manager is saying that he has never heard of anything like it.
    So I'm left with one of 3 answers.
    1: The phone was shipped like that so its a factory error.
    2: The Apple genius doesn’t know what he's talking about then I can go back to the store and ask for a second opinion.
    3: Vodafone is selling second hand phones as new.
    I need to narrow it down so I can deal with the account manager appropriately

  • I have an application on 4 computers. On 3, PDF files open as they should, withing the application. On the fourth the file is placed in "downloads" and then opens in a separate tab on the desktop(not inside the application).

    I have an application on 4 computers. On 3, PDF files open as they should, withing the application. On the fourth the file is placed in "downloads" and then opens in a separate tab on the desktop(not inside the application).  Any ideas on settings that might be causing this? It happens whether the application starts in IE11, Google Chrome or Firefox.
    This happens whether the "client" signs in over the internet or directly to the local host server.
    Thanks in advance

  • Is it possible to add a graphics card to the back of my HP

    Hello  I want to know if it's possible to add a new graphics card to the back of a Laptop not inside of it but on the back of my laptop ???  my graphics Card is a Intel 4000 graphics card is a terrible for gaming TERRIBLE !!!  

    Not sure where it would go on the back, but no the system is closed. There is no place to insert a graphics card or attach it. You will find some hokey stuff on the internet where people say you can plug a video card in the wireless card slot but those are a hoax at worst and at best they do not tell you that such a thing would not even perform as well as what you have and is likely to damage the motherboard.
