Possible to add another monitor to macbook for dual screen usage?

Hiya,
I would like to find out if I can connect another monitor to my Macpro so I can work with 2 screens? I can easily do this with a pc laptop ad there is a monitor plug in but I don't see one for my macpro.
Cheers,
John

Recent MacBooks have a Mini DisplayPort or a Thunderbolt port, which can be converted to DisplayPort, DVI, VGA, or HDMI. A Mirrored second display is supported by all MacBooks, and many support the more useful "Extended Desktop".
Extended Desktop combines the screens along an edge of your choosing to form a much taller or wider desktop. You can drag windows to either display or split them across displays, and the two parts will scroll and update in perfect synchrony. The feature has been present in the operating System since at least System 4.2 in 1987, and is supported by all well-behaved Mac Applications.
NB: "Full Screen" feature in Mac OS X 10.7 is an iPhone feature ported to Mac OS X, and is useless for large displays and completely frustrating for multiple displays. Do not activate it thinking it is part of the solution -- it is for 4.7 inch single displays.

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!!!!!!

Is it possible to add a field to OKEK in configuration SCREEN?

Hello SAPPERS,
I would appreciate if someone could provide some input on the following issue.
Is it possible to add a field to Define Account Determination for Internal Goods Movements (OKEK)?
This table determines the GL accounts assigned when inventory is moved between plants. Is it possible to add another column to the left hand side? I would add the receiving plantu2019s VGCd, if possible. Even better would be a profit center group (1100 for all 11xx profit centers for example).
I know there are two ways to add field to the DB Table. They are INCLUDE and APPEND structure.
Is it possible to append a field to table V_T8A00, and display it in config screen OKEK?
Thanks for any advice

Hello,
On a transfer, the accounting treatment is different when the move is within the same division VS when it goes to another division.
When plant 1101 ships to plant 1102, we donu2019t want to post to account 360100. When plant 1101 ships to plant 1301, we do want to post to 360100. Having the receiving profit center group in the mix will enable this distinction.
Thanks in advance

How to Add button in Application Toolbar for Fb01(screen) Transaction

Hi All,
I need to Add a customized Button at Application toolbar for FB01 Tcode for standard screen.
I am unaware of this,please take it as an urgent issue and help me with your inputs.
Points will be given.
Thanks,
Ramesh

On which screen (in which standard status ?) to do what ?
You could try to bypass sscr key requirement using some BAdI like FI_HEADER_SUB_1300 to add a button to screen or identifying an implicit enhancement option in one PBO module/form to change PF-STATUS, then look for such an option in PAI module/forms.

Raymond

[SOLVED] Best DE for dual screen setups?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what is the best DE for a dual screen setup on Arch? Also, can I just use the standard xrandr method to be able to drag windows between screens, if not, what do I do?
Many thanks.

Best driver for dual-screen and 3D with Radeon Xpress 200M [solved]

I need a good graphic driver for double screen and gaming, open source or old Ati one ?
How I do install it correctly ???

Sorry for the mild thread necromancy.
At what resolution do you run the external display? According to AMD/ATI, the radeon xpress 200m supports only up to 1600x1200, but I think I've used bigger displays with no problems.

Is it possible to add/create a login prompt for my website through iWeb?

So I was tasked to create a "info" site for my family. In an effort to keep it private from everyone except my family members I would like to create a login so that only family members can log in and view site. Is it possible to do this through iWeb? If so could someone help explain to me how this can be done?
Thanks

Its not so difficult. I host with Host Excellence and it only takes a few minutes to set up password protection using the WebShell wizard.
Once you have done this, you can easily add and/or delete authorized users, change the password etc.
If you use .htaccess, there are online generators to help you set it up. The main thing to remember about these files is that they are normally hidden so you need to turn on "show hidden files" in your hosting account file manager.

You are trying to create users SA which will be mapped to
login SA which is not allowed.Actually SA has complete access to every resource
so there is no point in mapping it as user

Hi I have just aquired a Mac Pro 2006, Dual Xeon 266, 3Gb RAM 360GB HD, I have tried to add another 2TB HD but for some reason it is not identified properly and will not erase

I have spoken to Apple tech, who suggested upgrading to Snow Leopard, but reading through the tech specs I believe my Mac Pro can support Lion OS, any thoughts on this matter? I also added a 2Tb HD, which 10.4.1 the current OS on the machine, does not recognize properly. Will Snow Leopard solve this problem? Or will I have to remove the 360Gb HD and Format/erase the 2T disk and set it up as the new Boot disk? JackTar1957

Is it possible to change fonts in dropdown lists for question screens?

I'm using Captivate 7, and creating training modules for a client with it. In these training modules, there are random quiz questions throughout. Some of these contain dropdown lists where the user will have to select choices A-D, etc. For some reason, after publishing, the fonts are all different within the dropdown list (Option A is in Times New Roman, Option B-D in Arial). I can't seem to find any option to edit these - does anyone have any insight on how to set these fonts?

Figured this one out. Using the P1_ROWS item, added a static LOV with the correct values to override the one APEX was providing. The P1_ROWS item goes in the Number of Rows (Item) field in the layout and pagination section of the report.

When using disk utility to copy one drive to another is it common for the screen to go black

I have a G5 and the main HD is making a little noise. I installed a new HD and was using disk utilities to copy the old to the new. The message came up that it would take 5 hours to copy. The screen went black ... is this common? How do I know it's doing it's thing?

I always set the Energy Saver settings to "never" whenever I do things like volume cloning, software (especially OS) downloading and installing, or using Disk Utility for most anything.

Is it possible to add a crystal report to BP maintenance screen

In SAP 8.8 we would like to use a Crystal Report statement of account and be able to click on the screen and run the report. is there a way in 8.8 to attach a Crystal report to a screen? Thanks

BP Master table has different structure with most tables. I don't think you could associate with any reports here. Better create a standalone report.
Thanks,

No rotate tool with the Macbook Pro dual screen

I have hooked up a 2nd screen (22" monitor) to my Macbook pro (OS 10.6.6, 2.4 GHz i5, 4 gb rom) wanting to have the working graphics on the 22" monitor and the photoshop tools on the macbook. While in Photoshop CS5, I attempted to use the rotate tool on the 22" monitor but the program would not allow me to. The program stated that the Open GL needed to be turned on. I checked the file handling section of the preferences and the openGL was still on.
What do I need to do to have the flexibility to rotate my image with the rotate tool on the connected monitor?

hi abbyt - Welcome to Apple Discussions!
if you mean dual-boot btw OSX and WinXP - you sure can. apple provides Bootcamp for precisely this reason and it works very well...
http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/
if you mean dual-boot btw OSX and some kind of Linux - i have less experience there, but i think its possible. perhaps the easiest way is to use Parallels Workstation (but that's not really dual booting in fact - it's virtualization)...
what "2nd" OS were you thinking about? cheers
