Problems with second monitor

Hi all,
I have a MBP described bellow, and I have a problem, started after I changed the background image (I don't know if its had to do) to change each 15 minutes.
After this change, the second monitor started to be scratched, unreadable and freezing my MBP. Only solution was disconnect the mini port and force shutdown the machine. I tried this actions some times, but now, MBP doesn't recognize mini port any more. What might be happening?
OSX 10.9.5
2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter
Dell LCD monitor 22"
Thanks in advance.

Problem with two monitors while using Photoshop, windows move from 2nd screen to 1st screen.

Problem with two monitors while using Photoshop, windows move from 2nd screen to 1st screen.
I saved a new workspace and it did not help.
No problem before I went to Maverick.

I found the fix, go to System Preferences and open Mission Control and uncheck the box to keep monitors as they were (When switching to an application...........)

Premiere Pro CS4 - Problem with the monitor program.

Hi. I'm not able solving problems with the monitor using PremiereProCS4. When I drag a photo (also only one photo) in the timeline and play it in the monitor program, vision in the monitor program doesn't run:black monitor or a little part of the photo appear... sometimes distort colours. Asus P5QPRO, Intel 9550 and Sparkle Nvidia GeForce 9800 GTX+ 1024 DDR3; last gpu driver and directX are installed. Different configuration of stratch disks were tested. Where am I wrong?

Dear Bill,
thanks for your answer and your article. I tried with your NTSC 4:3 720x480 PAR 0.9 and, "magically", no more problem!!! I used the script pocedure in Photoshop CS4 to resize my images. Now, before starting my workflow and hoping not to overuse your patience, I would like to indicate you my equipment and my target: I use a Canon Eos 7D (generally for still images, 90% are vertical, and just some videos) and I use Premiere Pro CS4 to burn a dvd (normal, 4.7 Gb or double side, more than 8 Gb) with a 16.9 lcd tv (I'm Italian); my camera save as .jpg and .raw (but why use heavy .raw files if I've to redute to 720x480?!??).
So, according to your "everyone wants the highest quality that they can obtain when doing theri videos..." and "your video project may vary, so you will need to plug in the dimensions for YOUR video project in that case", I've a question: which is the best for me?
And then:
1 - Premiere Pro CS4 havn't a batch or a script procedure for still image like PS (only for videos)!?!
2 - Premiere does'nt allow you to import images like 4.181 Kb (a too large dimension file error appears)!
3 - In the timeline of Premiere, after you dragged images, you can select them and right click to perform "resize to frame size": it seems to run good without problem, but what appen to the photo? Which is it's pixel?
4 - In the general preferences of Premiere you can to optimize rendering for "memory" or not: which is the best for you?
5 - I attached file with a screen of something strange in Premiere: dragging an image (the first of the project) in the timeline, the timeline appears distort (you can see the part in the yellow square): then, when I render the project and play in the monitor program, it becames normal.
Thanks!

Potential problem with my monitor, please help.

Hello
I recently upgraded my OSX to Mavericks and I've been having problems with my monitor, I've attached a screenshot of what is happening because I didn't know how to explain it and I'm unsure if its the OSX upgrade causing the issue or not, however I'm really worried about my monitor on my macbook pro.
The model I have is the 15" mid 2010 2.4Ghz Intel core i5 with 4GB RAM.

Still having this issue with my macbook pro monitor... There was no updates available and I followed every other possible solution, sometimes my monotor looks perfect like there was never any problem and other times my entire screen is just covered with this stuff you've seen in the above image.
I really have no idea what the exact issue is and how to solve it.
This macbook was given to me for university by the government as I have a form of dyslexia and because I've just finished my degree the insurance has ended... is there anyway I can still buy applecare insurance for my machine?! I got this MBP in 2010 so I've had it for three years now.
I'm just worried that one day I'll turn on my machine and the monitor won't work whatsoever.. and I thought apple was suppossed to be good and last a long time.
Hope somebody can help me further.
Thanks.

Annoying problem with LCD monitor and noise!!

I have MSI 6330 with 1.2 GHz Athlon (it has a built-in sound card), 384 RAM memory.
I just bought a new Cornea 17" LCD monitor with built in speakers.
When I connect the speakers to the sound card, there is an annoying static-like noise coming from the speakers, like an electric transformation sometimes causes. However, this sound is not "broadcasted" to the speakers, because even if I mute the speakers, the noise is still there, as long as there is a picture on the screen. When the monitor is turned off or shows black screen (such as during start up, or when in power-save mode) the noise disappear. The only way to eliminate this noise is buy reducing (almost to zero) the speakers volume, but then you can cannot hear anything at all, not even sound.
I got a new sound card (I thought it was the sound card problem) - same thing. I connected the monitor to a different computer and the problem is gone, which means - it is something with the computer, mobo, different device....something, I don't know what.
Any one have an idea what this could be?
Thank you.

Hi!
It could be that you have some problem with the monitor.
I have - so far - not encountered a monitor with built in speakers which gave acceptable sound anyway, the easiest solution might be that you will not use the speakers in the monitor (even the cheapest stand alone speakers will most likely produce better sound quality).

[SOLVED] Problem with second SATA drive

My laptop has two hard drive bays, and just recently I added a second SATA drive (moved it from my old laptop) to the extra bay.
Now, anytime the second hard drive /dev/sdb has any heavy disk activity, it appears to cause a shutdown of the SATA port for the first drive (/dev/sda)! Though the second drive is still fine, and I can still write to it until the system crashes from the root drive (on /dev/sda) being shutdown.
If I don't mount and use the second drive, the first drive works just fine, and I can pound it with traffic without issue.
I can reproduce this problem by copying large amounts of data to drive 2.
This is when I get in my dmesg when the first SATA drive shuts down:

I have experimented, and found that if I turn off NCQ on the kernel command line in my bootloader (libata.force=noncq), that it takes longer before the problem occurs. Though, if I write enough to the second drive, it does still happen after a while, just greatly reduced its chances of happening.
Is it possible that the old drive (sdb) is causing the problem? I noticed that it is much noisier than I remember when the drive head moves around.
Another curiosity while I was trying to duplicate the problem:
- I start a large file copy from sda -> sdb
- At the same time in another terminal, I do "find / -print"
- When I hear the drive 2 head moving, it pauses the output of the "find" command.
Every time I hear the head move, I see the find output pause. Its almost like the drive seek on drive 2 causes the whole Sata controller to pause while the head moves. Very odd!
Anyone have any ideas? I think the next thing I will try is borrow a drive from another machine, and do the big write to it to see if I get the same results.
If it is of any help, here is some more info on the laptop:

It appears my drive one really is failing. It was the first drive and not the second making the loud head seek sound. I borrowed another drive from a friend, and copied my drive one to it. No problems with the new drive in place.

Mac Pro Freezes on Startup with Second Monitor Connected

I have a base model Mac Pro with OS X Mavericks that is fully updated. When the computer boots, if my second monitor is connected, it begins to load the login screen and freezes before it has fully loaded. The second monitor is mostly black with a few blocks of color instead of the solid grey it should be. If I disconnect the second monitor and reboot the machine, it starts up fine and the second monitor can be connected without issue anytime after the login screen has fully loaded.
I am using two identical Asus monitors with Thunderbolt to DVI adapters.
Does anyone have an idea as to why this is occurring? Thank you in advance for your assistance.

I have the same problem with both Mac Pro (Office and Home)
The office's one have 2 Dell P2412H monitors with DVI adapter
The home's one have 2 Samsung 27" monitors width HDMI connections
Both have OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)
If i don't unplug a monitor, the OS X when have to start the graphics for the login freeze

Problems with External Monitor In XP

Ok, I've got a huge problem with XP on Bootcamp.
I've recently got a Samsung TV which I can use as an external monitor. This works absolutely fine when I'm using OSX, recognizes the TV and can use it as a second screen.
When I try to use the same monitor in Windows under Bootcamp, it works as an extension of my desktop, but not able to mirror my desktop. I want to do this so I can play my games on a large screen instead of a small one.
I've trawled the forums on this kind of problem and found a few answers. However, many of them talk about the ATI graphics drivers. I've downloaded the appropriate drivers and the control center from the website, but to no avail.
People have also said about going into display properties: settings: advanced and selecting the ATI tab. I have no ATI tab.
Also with the Catalyst Control Center, when I try to run it, it tells me that I dont have permission to change the settings and to contact my administrator, even though I am the administrator.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can solve this?
By the way. I'm connecting the external monitor via the DVI on my Macbook Pro to the HDMI connection on the TV.
Many thanks
Chris

My logic tells me, if you are using a new MBP the way it's designed is that even if you are plugged in at times it will go in battery mode for a few minutes in order to prevent battery damage, than it will recharge. This happens in the background without notice. However, within this couple of minutes you might notice your display screen to sleep because it is setup to sleep in 1 minute or less in the preference under battery mode. So within that window you might have your screen go blank since the entire process takes a lot more than a minute. I hope this helps.

Problem with second display in premiere CS5

Hi. I have a problem with external device, I have Mac Pro with ATI radeon HD 5770 and two displays 24 LED display that is primary and second 27 LED cinema display, in Premiere on external device only none and DV 720 576 and no second display.

That's the thing, Steve. Using the secondary monitor for playback, it should not be able to show any part of the desktop at any time. It should show only black if nothing is playing, or it should show what is playing in one of Premiere Pro's monitors. But never the desktop.

Full Screen Problem With Dual Monitor Viewing

I have a 64 Bit system, Chrome browser and with flash player built in. I am attempting to view videos on a 2nd monitor while working on the primary monitor. I have tried this on various sites, TNT.tv, USANetworks.com, etc... I select full screen viewing. A message is displayed to exit full screen press escape. However, when I attempt to do anything else automatically exit full screen on the second monitor. This should not be an issue and with the way most people view video online, they are doing so on a 2nd monitor or TV. I have done a google search and it is a common problem, but there is no solution that seems to work.

I have just posted the same question - missed yours.
Adobe could you take a look into this - I think solving this problem can't be that hard.

Extending display with second monitor

I am trying to add a second monitor to expand my desktop area. I routinely do this with my G5 laptop by simply plugging in a second monitor, clicking on DISPLAY in SYSTEM PREFS, clicking ARRANGEMENT, and clicking off MIRROR DISPLAYS.
With the iMAC G5 ARRANGEMENT does not appear as an option and default seems to be mirror. Any way to make this work?

This is an update to my previous post. I searched on Google about this problem and found an answer -- an old Macworld article:
http://www.macworld.com/article/39969/2004/10/imacscreenspanning.html
It describes a freeware program called Screen Spanning Doctor. I printed out the page and followed the instructions. It worked! I now have a Samsung SyncMaster 930B set at 1280 x 1024 and my iMac G5 set at 1440 x 900 (maximums for both) and They are not mirrored; the Samsung monitor extends the desktop of my iMac G5. I couldn't be happier.
Just in case Screen Spanning Doctor does not work for you, be sure to print out this Apple support document, Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379?viewlocale=en_US
You can never be too careful. I believe what this will do is undo whatever changes Screen Spanning Doctor does. Per the Readme:
"This program is intended to unlock some features of the graphics hardware in some Macs (iBook, iMac, eMac but not for all models - you can find a complete list at my website http://macparts.de/ibook). On supported Macs it will allow the use of an extended desktop where usually only mirrored mode is available. This enables you to use an external display to extend your workspace. It will also unlock additional resolutions for the external display making it possible to driver high-resolution screens. This is especially nice if you want to use an LCD panel that has a higher native resolution than the 1024*768 of the internal display. After you apply the patch you should see an additional tab in the displays prYou will only see this tab if you have at least the monitor adapter plugged in."
Good luck! (I'm going to make a donation to macparts.de, which created this program. I figure it's worth $19 -- what I paid for the VGA display adapter at the Apple Store.

MB 13 aluminum with XP Pro, computer locks with second monitor attached

I have a new macbook 13 unibody with windows XP pro, SP 3 installed. When i use an external monitor in dualview, the computer hard locks after the computer is left idle for a while - I think when power management tells the screen to shut off. The computer works fine without a second monitor in use. Using the bootcamp version of the video driver (177). Any suggestions?

There is a possibility that all you need to do is go into the display properties of the HP and have it look for the adapter.
First the model number of the HP and then the Windows version that is installed, please.

Leopard 10.5.2 problems with external monitor

Since I installed 10.5.2 on my macbook pro I cannot have a external monitor Dell 3007 WFP connected to my laptop when starting the computer. The screen will only show up on my laptop but only my background picture but nothing else so I have to perform each time a forced exit. However if I start my computer with my external computer unplugged the laptop works fine and if I then connect my Dell monitor everything works fine. However the closed lid mechanism is not working either anymore. My computer goes to sleep if you press an external keyboard the Dell screen comes on for few seconds but then goes to sleep again. I never had this problem with leopard 10.5.1. Does anyone known an answer to this problem.

I have exactly the same problem. After 4 hours on the phone over 2 calls to Apple Care, they finally let me know that this is an issue with 10.5.2. They said they are working on a fix that would come out with a future update, and offered the workaround of reinstalling Leopard without 10.5.2 update.
They sent me this link about reinstalling without losing files and settings:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8177.html
It's very frustrating, and I hope they find a fix for it soon!
