Quicktime window spills to second monitor

Hi --
I have QT Pro 7.6.5 running on a Windows XP Pro SP3 PC with dual monitors. Whenever QT opens, it creates its window about 1 to 1.5 inches down and 1 to 1.5 incles to the right of the main (left) display's upper left corner. When it plays widescreen movies, it creates a window sized to the display's width -- but since it places the window about 1.5 incles to the right of the display's left edge, the QT window spills onto the adjacent display. Every time I open a widescreen video in QT, I have to manually reposition the window so it only occupies one display.
I've looked high and low for a setting or option to let me control where the QT window is placed, and I haven't found anything that has solved this problem.
How do I get QT to position its window so that it doesn't spill onto the second display?
Thanks
CL

Be aware that you might have to restart LR to get the correct calibration applied as LR does not seem to be aware of multiple monitor profiles at this point. To drag the window, you need to have LR in windowed mode.

How do I set Firefox to open new windows in my second monitor?

When opening a new window (by right clicking a link and selecting Open in New Window), I would like the window to be opened in my second monitor. Firefox used to do this, but randomly stopped. Now when I open a new window it is opened in my primary monitor. It does not open maximized (just short of being completely maximized). I have tried the fix I used before- moving the un-maximized browser to the second window, closing and re-opening the window. I have also tried moving the un-maximized browser, maximizing, closing and re-opening. Does anyone know how I can restore Firefox to open my new window in the second monitor?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Randomly

Click the orange Firefox button, and click "Options". This will bring up a new window with a "Tabs" tab at the top. Click that. There will be several checked boxes, including one called "Open new windows in a new tab instead" up at the top of the list. Uncheck that box and you should be good to go.
ETA: This should also work if you click "Tools" and "Options" within your version.

FCPX. Viewing timecode and scrolling in the viewer window on a second monitor?

I am an old FCP7 user, learning FCPX. In 7, I liked being able to see timecode and scrolling in the frame of the canvas window. I would move and enlarge the canvas to fill a second monitor. I could still see the timecode and be able to scroll without having to go back and forth with the timeline on the first monitor.
I don't like that in X, the timeline is the only place that shows timecode and scrolling. So that when my viewer is in a second monitor, I have to go back and forth with the first monitor to view timecode and scroll. I put my script (word doc) on my first monitor which covers the FCP timeline. And makes it very cumbersome to view the script, view the movie in a large format and scroll/ get my orientation in the movie I am editing.
In FCPX, is it possible to view timecode and scrolling in the viewer window on a second monitor?

I don't use dual monitors, so this may not help, but my 1st thought is device driver version
•What is your exact brand/model graphics adapter (ATI or nVidia or ???)
•What is your exact graphics adapter driver version?
•Have you gone to the vendor web site to check for a newer driver?
•For Windows, do NOT rely on Windows Update to have current driver information
•-you need to go direct to the vendor web site and check updates for yourself
•ATI Driver Autodetect http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/auto-detect-tool
•nVidia Driver Downloads http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

Photoshop CS6 doesn't remember window location on second monitor

Hey
I have 2 monitors and I've arranged the panels on one screen and the main ps windows on the second.
I saved it as a new workspace, but now, after I restart photoshop, all the panels and the main window goes back to one monitor.
I've arranged it like this:
but after I close and reopen photoshop, it looks like this:
How can I make photoshop remember the window's location after restart?

Nah, I just stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
You're welcome - glad I could help.

Move all windows of an app to a second monitor

Is there a way to move all the windows belonging to an app to the second monitor, all at once? I tried clicking on the app icon in mission control and dragging the windows to the second monitor but that does not work.

No, as yet there's no method for doing this (or the opposite - moving all windows from a second monitor to the main one). Maybe this'll be addressed in Mavericks?
Failing that, you'll just have to engage in the time-honoured tradition of leaving Feedback.

Crazy crazy crazy! Airport loses internet when second monitor attached!

Can this really be happening? I decided to try using a second monitor attaching via a mini dvi -dvi converter. Several attempts to get it recognised by the iMac without any success. Scoured the internet groups to see that very many (and I mean very many) others had this problem.
Solved it by swapping my dvi-I lead for a dvi-D lead. The difference is that the DVI-I lead has fewer pins than the DVI-D lead and the iMac mini dvi socked supplies a DVI-D signal. Phew!
So--pleased with myself at surmounting this I fired up Final Cut Pro, dragged the canvas window to the second monitor and had to play around with the resolution setting to get a stable playing of the timeline.
Decided to go on online and see if I was alone on this.
NO INTERNET CONNECTION!!!
30 mins later decided to unplug the second monitor (Philips 200) and got back my inet connection.
Tried the routine again and sure enough each time the second monitor was connected I lost the Airport connection!
Is it possible that the proximity of the second monitor fouls the wireless signal?
Or what?

So far no one has either claimed the same problem or offered a possible explanation.
As I said this loss of internet connection when 2nd monitor is connected is unbelievably odd.
It sounds like another case of EMI (Electromagnetic interference). I believe this is at the root of all these weird Airport or wireless problems. Interestingly enough many of these anomalies are exhibited on the newer generation Macs. Different materials were used, shielding could have been compromised either for cost cutting or by design error. Regardless I'm sure Apple is aware, unfortunately those who purchased these machines may be in the worse case, left with hard wiring for reliable internet and or network connections.......sorry.....

Can't put Icons on Second Monitor

All of a sudden I cannot move icons from the desktop on my main monitor to the desktop on my secondary monitor. There's no problem putting application windows on the second monitor but icons just slide back to the main monitor's desktop. I tried restarting and that didn't solve it. Has anyone seen this and have a solution? I'm running a late 2012 Mac mini with Mavericks 10.9.2.
Thanks,

Hmmmm. Looks like nobody has heard of this problem.

S-Video/Second Monitor

Im not sure what kind of Laptop I have but here is my problem. I am trying to connect the s-video cable to an old tv. I got it to work using a rf modulator. At first it was working fine, but now when I go to the display menu and try to attach the 2nd monitor and hit apply, the second monitor wont be attached. I just want to watch movies instead of buying a new DVD player....someone please help....

Hi K T Thank you!
Usually no application at all, except a resident dyndns client and sometimes Mail and Safari.
I haven't Firefox.
VLC version 1.0.3, MPlayer rev 12 1210, Plex 0.8.5
It's not a CPU overload problem, maybe a GPU problem (is there any tool see it?)
If I disconnect the second monitor in the same conditions and restart to play, in the main monitor I don't have any frame drop.
Frame drops happens both in fullscreen than in windowed mode, when second monitor is connected and enabled. But also the entire UI of the systems seems a bit less smooth.
And, another particular I noticed, with second monitor enabled, I have HEAVY frame drops expecially in MPlayer in fullscreen when mode I move the mouse bringing up the comand panel, like some problems on the Alpha channel for overlay/transparencies...

Firefox Opens on Second Monitor...Irritating

I moved my FireFox browser window to the second monitor so I could watch a DVD on the iMAC.
Now, the stooopid browser opens upu every time on the secondary monitor, not the iMAC primary.
I've tried everything to get FF to open on the primary iMAC and it still insists on opening up in the secondary.
Any ideas?...like disconnecting the second and restarting?

Hi--
I assume you've tried this, but it might not update its preferences until it's quit cleanly, so what happens if you open it, move it to your main monitor, then immediately quit? It should remember where it was and open there with the same sized window.
Otherwise, the window settings are stored in a file called "localstore.rdf" in Firefox's folder. The easiest way to find it is to do a Spotlight search for "localstore.rdf." It's possible to have more than one of these files if you have other Mozilla browsers installed, so make sure you click the little "I" in your Spotlight search results (use "Show All" from the Spotlight menu) to confirm you're looking at the one in /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/. You can reveal it from your Spotlight results by using the "command"-"r" key combo. Drag it to the desktop and launch Firefox and see where it comes up.
You can also edit that file directly with a text editor if you want. Just don't do it while Firefox is running, as it'll overwrite your changes when you quit Firefox.

Why won't Adobe Acrobat or Reader for Mac maximize on second monitor?

Just what the question says. Running Mavericks, of course, and when I drag a Adobe Acrobat or Reader window to my second monitor and press the maximize button, it moves to the first monitor and maximizes there instead. No combination of modifier keys and maximize clicks will work either. The rest of my Adobe Creative Suite maximizes correctly on either monitor. What's with Acrobat?

I'm having the exact same issue... However, I do have the "Displays have separate spaces" option activated.
I can maximize a PDF on my larger primary monitor... But when I drag a PDF over to my smaller secondary screen and hit the maximize "+" button, it shoots the window back over to my other monitor.
Can someone help? This is driving me crazy. I also tried deactivating the "Displays have separate spaces" option to see if that worked... but that didn't.
Other apps work just fine. Chrome behaves exactly as I expect when hitting the maximize button.

[Solved] XFCE 4.8 Ghost panel on Second Monitor

I've found that when maximizing a window on my second monitor, there is a 28 pixel "gap" where my panel would be on that screen [If I used a panel on that one] upon maximizing a window. If I set my panel to autohide, this goes away, but I find auto-hiding panels rather annoying, and am wondering if there's any way to fix/workaround this. If it helps, I'm using the command "xrandr --output LVDS1 --right-of HDMI1" to extend my desktop onto the second monitor.
Here's a screenshot of what happens http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/3470 … 103502.png
Edit: Latest version of xfce4-panel fixes the issue.

Yeah, seems to be a limitation of the Nvidia GUI, but it seems that it's possible [and necessary] to configure it with Xorg's configuration files if you want more freedom to position your monitors.
Since some extra configuration is needed with the Nvidia driver, xrandr alone might not be ideal in your situation. [I mentioned it before since I never needed to mess with my Xorg configuration, and an .xprofile script based around xrandr works better with my Intel-based laptop. ]
Xorg's config files seem like a better choice for you, and if you need to change monitor layouts on the fly, xrandr should still work once you have a good Xorg configuration. If you choose to go this route, you'll probably find this section of the Xorg wiki page very useful: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg#Nvidia_2
Since you'd need to specify a position for your second monitor to workaround this, you'd need to use a line like this, instead of the "RightOf" one in the example configuration: ' Screen 1 "Screen1" x y ' where x,y is the location of the upper left corner of that display.
[If a configuration file already exists, make sure you create a backup of it first. Worst-case scenario, a bad config file will prevent X from starting, and you could just restore the backup from the command-line.]
I also discovered that offsetting it by the exact height of your panel seems to cause problems on your primary monitor [at least with the latest version of the XFCE panel]. Upon rebooting, windows would not respect my panels, and instead would go underneath them when maximized. Although, by offsetting my second monitor by a little more [1920x280 instead of 1920x284], both monitors allow windows to maximize correctly, so if you run into the same problem, something like that should fix it.

Illustrator CC Freeze/crashes when taken to the second monitor. Mac OS Yosemite.

Hello Friends.
Im having a weird problem with illustrator cc here. I hope you can give me a hand.
Im Working with two monitors on a macbook pro mid 2009 with 8g ram and Yosemite installed.
When I'm working on the main monitor the illustrator works smoothly. But when I drag any window to the second monitor it starts acting strangely.
I can select the vectors, but I can not move them. Sometimes appears a prohibited sign next to the cursor.
If I try to open a file when I'm on the second monitor, the illustrator just freezes and I can only close it forcing the closure.
Have uninstalled and installed several times and did not solve.
I have a tablet wacon. Reseted adjustments too.
This does not happen to me in CS6, on the same computer.
Any ideas?
Tks!

I have the exact same problem. At first I thought it was the Wacom (you should look into that too... I ended up just uninstalling mine because it was causing problems), but now I've noticed it's just when I try to work in my second monitor window. Basically I think Yosemite + Adobe CC 2014 are not a happy couple.

On a Mac with two monitors, how do I get a new FF window to open on the second monitor? I can do this on a Windows XP box easily enough but on a Mac FF won't remember the position of a new window. Please help!

I proof websites for a living and workflow is everything. On my 26" main monitor I have FF running the job tracking web site. In this site, there are links to the sites I need to proof. I would like to be able to right click on a URL and select 'open in new window' and have that window open up on my second monitor.

Here's some more info about the router settings:
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
You should be able to get into the setup of your router by typing the IP address into your browser.
Depending on your router security setup, you might need the MAC address of your iPad, to allow access to your network, if the so called MAC filtering is active.
You can also check the name of your home network if your click on the AirPort icon on your desktop of your MacBook.
And here's a Wi-Fi assistant to get you going: http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/wifi/

Second monitor using windows on macbook.

I have to use a tv (dvi) as a second monitor, anyone has tried it in windows?
Thanks.

If your TV takes DVI input, and you have the mini-DVI to DVI cable for your MacBook, there is no reason it shouldn't work.

Webutil_file_transfer causes blank forms window on second monitor

Hi,
Forms 11.1.2.0.0 64 bit
Java 1.6.0_31
When using webutil_file_transfer.client_to_db_with_progress or db_to_client_with_progress to load/view a document an intermittent fault occurs. If the Forms window is running on a second monitor then the forms window goes blank while the document up/downloads, and does not return unless dragged to the first window. The problem does not occur every time, and never when only one monitor is used. Maximizing the forms window also seems to cure the problem, but this is not a feasible option.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Nick.
