Quick time full screen on external display

I've connected an old CRT Monitor to my Powerbook, works fine. I'm using it to play Movies on it in Full Screen Mode while my Powerbook's screen is free for using any other application. Unfortunately, this works with Apple DVD player and VLC player. In these applications, I just drag the movie window into the middle of the external screen and choose "Full Screen". If I do this in QT (pro), the movie comes on full screen on the built-in screen. In iTunes, the animation appears in full screen on the external monitor, but the Powerbook's screen turns black.
Can I do anything about this?
Powerbook G4 (and one old iBook original tangerine)   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   iTunes 6.0.4 QT pro 7.0.4
Powerbook G4 (and one old iBook original tangerine)   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

In the Quicktime Player, under the View menu select Present Movie. In the sheet that appears you'll get a little layout of the available screens. Just select external monitor and hit play.
I'm not sure about iTunes.

  • Can not properly view cover flow in full screen in external display

    My mac is the new Mac book pro 15.4 inch screen and I connect my mac pro to external display e.g. Samsung LCD monitor 24 inches.
    The bug is that I can not PROPERLY view full screen (in external display) for some application e.g. iTunes, and Front Row.
    - When I use iTunes, I can not properly view Cover Flow view in full screen (in the external display screen) except the case of mirror display.
    - For Front Row, I can not view full screen in external display but only my mac display.
    However, for other DVD or VDO players, I can view movie on external display in full screen and I still be able to do other works on my mac screen.
    Please let me know how to solve it.

  • DVD player full screen on external display

    I'm looking for a way to play my DVD full screen on my external display while I can work in other apps on the main screen. Preferrably with Apple DVD Player (OS X 10.7 Lion in my case). Any ideas? Hidden settings perhaps?
    It's stuff like this makes feel let down by Apple. It's natural feature to want this like for instance when playing DVD on a big screen in front of an audience and prepare something on the main display for viewing.

    I know I can do this already with VLC. For some discs that don't play well in VLC I'd prefer DVD Player though.

  • Full screen caller image display

    Full Screen Caller image was one of the best feature of an iPhone that made look iPhone simpler and fantastic to use..
    This particular feature seems to have been last with the upgrade to iOS 7.1..
    Please fix this issue..
    Full screen caller image display makes the phone look beautiful and wonderful when a known person is calling

    I agree with you on  the full screen view for when a users contacts call them. I hesitated upgrading, Apple has now joined the ranks for screw-ups! Since the late  Steve Jobs left this earth, Tim Cook has royally screwed-up this company! Customers here in th U.S and arouund the world are the ones shelling out hundreds of dollars for a product that is the best next thing to revoluntionize the way we communicate with others. But it seems that $600+ dollars gets us junk and a device not tailored to us, the users. I want to call them "M!cr0$oft Apples!" Give us the ability to go back to iOS6. Let us choose! We the customers have made this company rich, full of wealth beyond their greedy little hands. Give us the ability to choose what OS we want to install. Their should be a transparency relationship between the customer with the money, and worker who will work for us to render a product that we "the users," want" and not want a senior desinger assumes we think is good. Remember, this is all thanks to a legend who we all know and respect as ("in my own opinion), the father of modern communication Steve Jobs. SJ worked till his last days here to creat a masterpiece, T.C came on board and took a huge "memoryDUMP," and disregarded his visions. If your passionate like me about Apple and what Steve Jobs stood for, then  help me create a petition to make this company see that we "The customers are ALWAYS right!"
    Missing and need back:
    Transparency on the dock and icons
    Working Wifi, and imessage
    Better Battery life!!!
    Reverse the icons back to iOS7.06
    Fix maps
    Unless the designers are gothic in nature (I love Goth!!); dont make our phone dark and heavy on the fonts.
    I dont know about you, but I' am tired of hearing excuses from Apple and its CEO!
    PRETTY MUCH, REVERSE THE UPDATE OR WE WANT OUR MONEY BACK!
    As th general public alredy knows, Apple will never listen or read these suggestions" They sleep soundly in thier 2.5millon homes, and respectively. Why care about those people that are paying thier salary pretty much! Listen up board of directors.....Fire Tim Cook, Hire a go-getter, Micromanage manic that will continue Mr. Jobs legacy and nip this disaster in the bud!  Tweet this, FB this! Let make the world realize we will not take it anymore! Fix the dam problems!

  • Second screen blacked out when full screen with dual displays

    I have a MacBook Pro connected to an LCD display. I use both screens. When working from home I'd like to have my local machine showing on the LCD monitor and my work machine showing in the MBP screen. I can do this, however I can't have the work machine in full screen mode because ARD blacks out my main LCD monitor. This frankly drives me nuts as there doesn't appear to be a preference within ARD to change this.
    iTunes does the same thing. If I want to watch a video full screen in one monitor it blacks out the other. C'mon Apple, Quicktime doesn't do this and has a preferences tab just for display settings!
    Does someone have a suggestion, work around, or want to point me to what I might be missing to solve this issue?

    I understand what you are doing, but when you are running as full-screen the second display is blacked out because your making your station only the target at that moment. You are telling ARD that you want nothing to do with your Admin station. Also because the target doesn't have a second screen, your is blank. This avoids any confusion as to what screen belongs to what machine. ARD is working as it was designed to.
    iTunes does the same thing to hid extra screens that are not part of the presentation so they don't detract from the show.
    With your Observe or Control in Windowed mode, make the window of you client to fill the display as much as possible. This is the best you can do. Besides, when you are Controlling a client in Full-Screen, you can't move files and such with drag-n-drop. So if you want to work on both at the same time, you need to stay in windowed mode.
    If you would like to make the petition to have your idea supported, do so here

  • Playing DVD in Full Screen on external monitor?

    Hi,
    Recently,i have been trying to play DVDs using Apple DVD Player in Full Screen on an external 20 " monitor.
    However,when i click something on my primary display on my MBP,apple DVD player(on the external monitor) will exit Full screen and goes into Maximum size.
    So,my question is What can i do to make sure Apple DVD Player will retain its Full Screen mode(on my external display) while i continue with my work on my MBP's display?
    Any help would be much appreciated...

    Macbook Pro 15.4'   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   Core 2 Duo 2.16 GHz

    This is a problem for most software on the mac, especially games. My experience has been most software uses the primary - in this case the macbook lcd - as its display monitor. There are a few ways to fudge it to force it on another screen, but quite frankly I find that the only way to use a macbook pro and external monitor is with the lid closed.
    This is generally the best solution as the menu bar is always stuck on the primary anyway.
    To use the macbook closed simply wake the computer from sleep with an external keyboard or mouse the laptop and the primary will now be the external monitor.
    The only real downside is how do I now use the isight????

  • Possible to view quicktime in full screen on external monitor?

    Hey All!
    Im wondering if there is any way to view quicktime movies in full screen (or use front row for that matter) on an external desktop set up us as an extended desktop (as opposed to mirror). This seems like quite a dumb thing to not be able to do.

  • Show desktop no longer works in Quick Look Full Screen view

    Is anyone besides myself missing this functionality in Lion? Previously in Snow Leopard, you could be looking at a full screen slideshow in Quick View (by doing cmd+A and hitting the space bar then the full screen arrows) and at any time you were able to do a gesture swipe in order to show the desktop (or you could use a hot corner or keyboard shortcut) and then swipe back down to restore the full screen photo or slideshow. This function is now either broken or just ommitted all together for some reason.
    I just can't figure out what logic there was in removing this feature. Anybody care to guess ?
    Doug

    Hi,
    I had the same problem (the "show desktop" function didn't work in the corner, nor after pressing the keyboard button) and I found no real fix even after an extensive research, including a restart, permission repair, deleting some files/cache from the Library folder and so. THAN I discovered a function in Onyx which turns the "Mission Control" on and off. It was off (unchecked) in my case, so I checked it on and voilà, all of sudden the "Show desktop" function works again! Hot corners as well!
    In Onyx -> Parameters -> Mission Control -> Turn on Mission Control.
    Hope it helps!
    Happy New Year to you all!

  • Mac Mini no longer able to display full screen on TV display.

    I had my mac mini set up correctly with my Samsung 50" tv - using the "Best for display" option within system preferences - Display.  I left the computer on overnight and in the morning the screen was messed up.  Now I can only see the full screen, with menu bars at the top of the display, if i set preferences with the lowest available resoltion of 720p and using the Underscan option too. Any advice on what went wrong and how to get back to the best setting?

    Hey there Slackbast,
    It sounds like you are having some graphical issues when you have a TV connected to your Mac Mini, but it used to work fine. I recommend the troubleshooting from the article named:
    Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
    Try unplugging the video adapter or cable and then plug it back in.
    If more than one video adapter is in use (or "daisy-chained"), troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
    Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
    If available, try using a different display and or adapter (or use a different connector by using DVI instead of VGA, for instance).
    Reset the systemYou can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolutionStart by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
    Start up in Safe Mode.
    From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
    Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
    Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
    Restart your computer.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Full-screen terminal dims display

    Hi,
    when switching to full-screen for Terminal my external display reduces its brightness to an irritating degree. Brightness level are back to normal when the menu is displayed or other windows are on top of the terminal (for example the preferences window or the alt-tab task switcher). As soon as these windows are gone the brightness drops again.
    I can't seem to find a setting for this. Any pointers are greatly appreciated.
    Cheers

    Problem solved. It turned out to be a setting of the monitor which would dim the backlight when a certain percentage of the screen is black (my terminal background is set to black). After un-setting this option the problem disappeared. (IIYAMA ProLite E2607WS, Contrast/Brightness -> ACR -> off)

  • Acroread full screen problem - dual display on Linux machine

    Hi:
    I am running Linux Fedora core 15 on an HP laptop that I use for presentations.  I have dual displays set up and run my presentation software (opera and acroreader)  in the external monitor in full screen mode.  This works fine for opera, but when I try to use acroreader, it only appears on the laptop's built in monitor when in full screen mode.   Any suggestions on how to get it on the external display?
    Thanks.

    When you normally play iTunes on a secondary monitor (23" Cinema on the side) and then disconnect to go mobile, there's a problem - can't get video window to show up anywhere without changing preferences to have video display in iTunes window or art window. Disabling spaces, checking display, "detect displays", nothing else works.

  • Want to enlarge size of Quick Time Movie Screen

    I have been creating short video movies on my iMovie and transferring them to Quick Time for eventual streaming video viewing on web with the help of Quick Time Pro. The iMovies look great on full screen but when trying to transfer them to Quick Time, they only show up as a small window. I have tried to enlarge the picture by setting Quick Time Preferences to 2x or full screen but they still only show up as small when being viewed. Enlarging them once they are being viewed does distort the quality of the picture. Is there any way I can process a movie for full screen viewing or perhaps 1/2 screen viewing when transferring iMovie to Quick TIme and still retain its original detail. Thank you very much

    You need a few html "tricks" to enlarge your video playback. Most can come from the simple scale="tofit" tags. This will resize your .mov file to fit the dimensions you set.
    Another way to do this (easier now with QT 7) is to set the movie playback to double, or even full screen, and use the html tag target="quicktimeplayer".

    UGH - hate it.
    I have tried 'esc' and the blue arrows in the upper right of the screen both did not help.
