Running 2 different displays on the same Mac Pro2x 2.66

Hi folks.
this is the graphics card that I have:-
Chipset Model: NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT
Type: Display
Bus: PCIe
Slot: Slot-1
PCIe Lane Width: x16
VRAM (Total): 256 MB
Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de)
Device ID: 0x0393
Revision ID: 0x00a1
ROM Revision: 3008
I understand that I can run 2 displays - is that right?
I use final cut and was hoping to run my 23in cinema display and a basic SD sony CRT monitor alongside for colour correction. I don't know if this is possible. I can't afford a new monitor, so suggestions in that direction won't help me (unfortunately!). I only have the Apple DVI to video adaptor right now as a connection into the sony monitor. Am I barking up the wrong tree?
Thanks
Dom

Hi Dom-
Welcome to Discussions!
Yes, you can run two monitors with your current graphics card. A Cinema Display, and your Sony, should also be no problem.
So, you have the Sony connected to the DVI to VGA adapter that came with your Mac Pro? Then, all you need to do is connect the Cinema Display to the other DVI port. There may be an actual physical problem disallowing the second DVI connection, which is remedied with another adapter, the DVI extender , which you should have received with the computer.

  • How can I share the home folder with different accounts on the same mac?

    Hi, here's a question:
    How can I share the home folder with different accounts on the same mac?
    The whole point being not to have to install all my apps, and move all my files each time between users.
    The second thing would be to be able to modify one document on one account, and have it changed on the other account without having to copy it.
    I would like to have a pro and a private account on my mac.
    Thanks for you answers,
    Doug

    Your apps should not be installed in your home folder--they should be in /Applications where every user can access them.
    If you want to share things between users on the same Mac, use the /Users/Shared folder. Keep your home folder private. Trying to defeat the protections on the home folder subfolders just gets messy. I've never bothered to figure out all of the problems associated with it so I can't explain how to do it.
    Even with using Shared, you would need to alter the ACLs on the shared folder in order to allow both users to modify the documents.
    You must create a Group in Users & Groups and put each user in that group. Then create a folder inside /Users/Shared where you want to share the various files.
    Then, add an ACL to the shared folder that gives the group special permissions. on that folder.
    sudo chmod -R +a "<sharinggroup> allow delete,chown,list,search,add_file,add_subdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directory_inherit" /Users/Shared/<sharing folder>
    Replace <sharinggroup> and <sharingfolder> with the name of your group and your folder. Then, run the command in the Terminal.
    With that ACL, each user in <sharinggroup> will be able to alter the files created by any user in the group in that <sharingfolder>.
    Essentially, the client OS is not designed for true file sharing among the individual users. It is designed to isolate each user account from the others.

  • My MacBook is almost two years old and has started running really slow. It gets bogged down when it is running different programs at the same time, like Safari and Pages. It didn't react this way until recently. Any advice would be very welcome.

    Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive (the drive itself, not the volume icons below it.) Is the SMART status "Verified?" If not, replace the drive immediately. If the status is "Verified," the drive may still be failing. Back up all data, if you haven't already done so. Reinstall Mac OS X, then run Software Update. Test with all wired peripherals disconnected. If it's still slow, you have a hardware problem.

  • How can i share documents with different users on the same mac?

    How can i share documents with different users on the same mac?

    Shared how? The other users can read the documents or you all can read and write the documents?
    The first is easy just place the documents in /Users/Shared anyone can access the files there and the other users will be able to read them.
    The second is a bit trickier.

  • Is there a way to be able to Edit pictures between different accounts on the same Mac?

    Is there a way to be able to Edit pictures between different accounts on the same Mac?

    What does 'edit pictures between different accounts' mean?
    You can edit photos in each account. You can share the Library so the same library is available in all accounts. But I'm not sure what you're asking for.

  • How do i move photos between differant users on the same mac

    I am trying to copy some photos from iphoto and move them to another user on the same mac. Can anyone help please?

    Hello Whigged-out,
    It sounds like you would like to share one library between two different users on your iMac.  I found an article with steps you can take to accomplish this:

  • Installing CC applications in different languages (in the same Mac)

    Can I install in the same Mac some applications of the Creative Suite (i.e. Photoshop and Illustrator) in one language (i.e. Italian) and other applications (i.e. Premiere Pro and After Effects) in another (i.e. English)?

    Thanks for the help.
    Indeed I installed succesfully Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and some other applications in Italian, and then Premiere, After Effects, SpeedGrade and some others in English.
    The problem now is that I don't know if the applications in Italian will be updated regularly, since I notice in the Creative Cloud application (see below) that those in English have been succesfully updated ("Aggiornato" in Italian), while the ones in Italian are in the Install list (although they are already present in the Application folder).
    Any specific experience on the matter?

  • Running different JRE on the same system to measure JRE Performance

    Hey there,
    I want to run several java benchmarks on different runtime environments on the same system.
    Now, I need to know what I have to consider that those machines do not affect each other?
    What do I need to consider while installing those different runtime environments.
    How do I have to set the classpath, etc. - I guess it shouldn't be set...
    Are there any files in the operating system that could affect the different JRE versions, such as java.exe and javaw.exe in the Windows NT System directory? What do I have to do with those files?
    And which would be the proper steps to reach a meaningful result?!
    Right now I am using Windows NT, but I will also try to run some tests on Linux! So, I am open for any kind of help!
    Thanks,
    Marc

    Hi Marc,
    Have you considered installing one JRE at a time and running your benchmarks? Before installing the next JRE, uninstall
    the existing JRE. Thus eliminating any possibility of
    overwriting/corrupting any of the Windows NT System
    directories or registry settings.

  • How can I run different commands in the same system exec window?

    I want to open a window (cygwin) on my Xp machine and sent commands within that window. I then have to monitor what the responses are coming back into the window that was launched. Any ideas on how to do this? I have been playing with the system exec VI but can't seem to get it to do what I want. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks - Troy

    Hello,
    Have you tried setting the wait until completion to true on the System Exec VI?  If so, the LabVIEW documentation claims that the parameter "standard output returns information from the program you called if wait until completion is TRUE. If wait until completion is FALSE, System Exec returns an empty string."
    Could this be the answer to the problem of getting the data returned?
    I hope this helps!

  • Can you run Lion os and Lion Server os on the same Mac mini?

    I'm a windows convert to Mac and I'm interested in running a standard Lion Client, but at the same time running Lion Server on the same Mac Mini (Server Edition).  My needs for the Lion Server OS is to handle e-mail, a Web Site, and file sharing between the server to a secondary PC, iPad, and iPhone.  But at the same time I wish to dive into the Mac (Apple) experience.  I just wish to be able to do this on the same machine.
    As a secondary question, is it possible to merge two different iTune Accounts into one?  Is it possible to share items purchased on one iTunes account with an iPad that is tied to a different iTunes Account?

    1. Yes, but you'll need separate partitions for each OS, or run the client OS in emulation.
    2. It isn't possible to combine the accounts, but a single iTunes library can contain content from multiple iTunes Store accounts.

  • ITunes open in multiple accounts on the same Mac

    I have a family of 3, and I'd like to use different accounts on the same Mac to sync for each.  However, I like to only use one of the account for my apple tv.  What I discovered is if I have more than 1 instance of iTunes 10.5 running, home share breaks on apple tv. 
    Also, is it possible to lock an i-device to a particular instance of iTunes on the machine?
    Thanks in advance

    After reading this and several other related threads, I am becoming thoroughly confused about all of this. I have a situation similar to the one that pokerpal described in the post dated January 7 at 8:06 pm, except that the music files on my system are located on an external hard drive. Everything else is pretty much the same though - I am the admin user (and the main iTunes user and maintainer) and my girlfriend is a standard user who has no music in her own iTunes library. She can see and listen to and make playlists from and sync her iPod with the music in this library from her account, and I can do the same thing, independent of her, from my account. And if I make a change to information within a song, she doesn't see it, and vice versa, and I understand that. What I don't understand is why when I add a song or an album to the music files by importing a CD or downloading something from the iTunes Music Store, she has no way of knowing that unless I tell her, and then she can add it to her library by using the "Add to Library" function. Is there no way of automatically updating her library files to add the new song(s)? We have almost 15,000 songs and videos in that library, and I don't even want to think about what might have to happen if the answer to my question is "no." Interestingly enough, if I put an update to a Word document in the same exact location (on the hard drive), we can update that and pass it back and forth all day - why is that such a difficult task for iTunes to accomplish?
    Sorry I went on so long, but this has been building up for some time, and none of the solutions I've read about here have really been of any help, so I'm a bit frustrated and, as I said at the beginning, confused.

  • Controller different Input in the same time in a real Scenario...(SIMULATION IN 2 TANKS CONTROLLER BY PCB BOARD)

    Hi! I really need help....
    I´m doing a simulation where I can controller the input and output with one external PCB, all is working properly (the communication) but my problem is, I can´t open where ever I want the different valves...I mean, I must wait until the process is finish...
    The program is working with diferents process like this:
    §Process 0:
        Programinitialization. Tanks and pipes in zero state. Control for this state with  “pump on” button.
    §Process 1:
        §State:
             “ Pump on ” button istrue: Pump 1 isrunning, andTank 1 starts to be filled with water.
             “ Pump on ” button is false: nothing happen, go to the next process
    §Process 2:
         This process is controlled from the “Control 1”button with is who control “Valve 1” for the discharge of water from tank 1 to tank 2.
    §Process 3:
          This processiscontrolledfromthe “Control 2 ”button with is who control “Valve 2” for the discharge of water from tank 1 to tank 2 if “Control 3 ” button is close or if “Control 3 ”button is open the water go out from the loop.
    §Process 4:
          This processgiveyoutheoptiontocome back totheprocess 1 ortotheprocess 2 dependingofthestate in process 3.
    So my problem is I want  run different processes in the same time, without having to wait out the current process is running....
    this look like this:
    and with the differents states...so I was trying to use a Statechart for try to improve the simulation....
    like this:
    But when I was tried to implement in labview with the statechart module i can't find the way to interconexión with this new module...
    Because i need two differents regions...but i can't use the connexion between them....
    Some new idea, help....all is welcome!!!
    Thanks in advance.

    Buenos días Alvaro,
    Si, mejor en español
    Si, me has entendido bien, exactamente es lo que me gustaria. 
    Empece por mi cuenta con labview y hay muchas cosas que se me escapan... Voy a implementar la máquina de estados a ver si asi soluciono el problema.
    Muchas gracias!
    Un saludo!

  • Possibility of Apple TV playing one Itunes Library while the computer plays a different library at the same time (Mac)

    The Apple TV is for my son's room to watch his videos, listen to music, etc. off his iTunes library I made for him on my Mac.  I want to be able to listen to my own library at the same time he has his. Apple TV only recognizes the current library open; unless I'm doing something wrong or the stars haven't aligned for me yet, is there a way to do this? I can't run two iTunes at the same time (wish I could). 
    *Note- to teach my son about computers, I bought an old green iMac which will be for his learning venture.  The iMac however does not have wifi (at least not yet).  Perhaps something for you Mac professionals can use to help me whip up a good setup, unfortunately the iMac is slow, not enough HD space, so I don't have the funds right now to open it up and do what can be done.  (If this helps)

    Hi All,
    Same issue here. Just upgraded (?) from the previous version of Apple TV, to the new Apple TV2. Like others here, my main problems seem to be with unreliable streaming from iTunes 10 on my PowerMac (Quad G5, Leopard OSX).
    My original AppleTV had no issues w/the wireless network, or synching w/my PowerMac.
    The network connection from the ATV2 are fine, and have no issues accessing the Apple Store (for movies, TV shows), or accessing Netflix. The access to the internet from my ATV2 is quite robust.
    My problems are with keeping a constant, reliable wireless connection to my PowerMac, via an Airport Extreme wireless router.
    I have tried multiple restarts, reboots, reset ATV2 to original settings, tried different wireless channels on the Airport Extreme, verified I have Home Sharing properly enabled in iTunes,etc, but no luck so far.
    What I'm seeing is when I access my iTunes on my computer, I can see my library, and then if I start to "shuffle songs" I may get 1 to 3 songs to play fine, but then the music stops, and I can no longer access the music/movies/etc in iTunes any longer. When I then go to my PowerMac, it has lost most bars of signal strength on the wireless network (although all other devices show strong signal strength), and I have to Turn AirPort Off, then Turn AirPort On and I then am reconnected to the wireless network with good signal.
    I then go back to the ATV2, connect to my iTunes, start my music, and then 1-2 songs later it again stops playing, and I go through this all over again.
    It seems as though there is something on the wireless network between the ATV2 and my PowerMac that causes it to lose connection, and I have to manually start again. The problem is that the connection is not robust, and only lasts a few minutes.
    Hope this gets solved soon.
    Regards
    Tom
