Satellite U200-112: Switching between monitors

Sattelite U200-112.
At switching from the display notebook on the external monitor the resolution is exposed to the display, instead of the external monitor. Who faced such problem?

My English language is not so perfect but I believe in your case the option called Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor is enabled. Am I right?
Anyway, if the external monitor is properly connected please use FN+F5 key combination to switch between notebook LCD display and external monitor.

Switching between Monitors

Hi,
in addition to my previous topic I have one more question. When using the second monitor the primary display of the MacBook is still active (synchronization turned off!). Applications appear only on the second monitor but I oven loose my mouse because it moves over both displays. Can the primary display made inactive? Again this works correctly with Windows.

Is it possible to connect an older Power Mac (running OS 10.5.8) to an iMac running 10.9.5. I want to share the monitor, keyboard and mouse and switch between the two computers.

Is it possible to connect an older Power Mac (running OS 10.5.8) to an iMac running 10.9.5. I want to share the monitor, keyboard and mouse and switch between the two computers.

as far as I know then the target display mode is not an option with such an old mac

CS6/CC - switching between source monitor and timeline disaster

Now what is this?
It all works fine until you try DV Output.
In DV Output mode every time you switch between source monitor and the timeline it goes to some scary ritual:
1. output disabled on external monitor
2. some crazy flickering happens
3. ok, now updated picture on external monitor finally appears
Same happens when switching back to timeline.
Also when scrubbing through timeline video and audio is late for a few centuries on DV device/external monitor/speaker.
Why Adobe screwed firewire environment editing? I'm thinking about changing my job. Editing with Premiere is killing me lately. I'm thinking about starting to work with bees or strawberries, or something else less frustrating.
And Premiere CS 5.5 was the best editing software ever released. It has no similar problems. Why CS6 and CC are retarded?

I'm just asking for properly working feature which is alredy implemented and worked fine in earlier versions.
Adobe, can this be fixed, please?

Mac, second monitor changes to canvas background when I switch between full screen apps on my mac display?

When I plug in my monitor using a thunderbolt to hdmi cable I would like to use my moitor as a second display, which i can do, but then when i switch between full screen apps on my mac it changes what i have on my monitor to a canvas background. Is there a way to fix the display on my monitor so that it will always be accesable?

Apple:
This is how it "Should" work.
Each display should be treated as it own desktop. If you swipe on a desktop it should swipe through the hidden screens/displays. If your a user with multi displays connected to your Mac, you could have "Full Screen" Apps, Dashboard, Mission Control, and etc available to swipe on each of your connected displays.
Display 1...swipe, swipe... mouse over to Display 2... swipe swipe swipe... oh.. Display 3, swipe! All set for work or play!
This would be a well received "Feature" for the Worlds Most Advanced Operating System.
Cheers
I have seen apps (like MPlayerX and VLC) have their own "built in" workaround for the full-screen problems on multi-displays.

Satellite U200-122: How to use Pivot function on external Monitor?

I have a Satellite U200-122, would like to use the external monitor in pivbot function.
But I do not find where I can have the display rotate, so that it will be displayed in portrait format on the external monitor and accept resolution 1024x1280.
Any ideas?
Graphic driver: Intel Chipset 945GM express
Thanks
Isabel

Thax for the tipp, but:
That is exactly my problem: the intel graphics acceklerator DOES NOT offer any rotate functionality! I wonder why because I have read in many forums that it should have, I know it can be seen on the right part of the intel graphics accelerator window, but nothing is there.
So i wonder, if in the U200 there is possibly a different graphic driver or management sofwtare, which just does not support this? Could it be that a graphic driver does not offer pivot???
Shortcuts do not work either.
Btw: when i put the laptop on a kensington workstation, then the kensington graphic manager -display -link - is used, and then with many workarounds i do get the monitor to show pivot in necessary reolution. but i want a to use a pivot monitor also at home without dockingstation...

[Z87 MPOWER] Monitor doesn't detect Video. LED-POST switches between numbers

Hey folks!
I build my first PC yesterday and sadly I came over a seemingly unsolvable problem. I made a test-run with the Motherboard on the box, GPU, PGU, RAM, CPU+Cooler. I started it and everything worked fine, but the Monitor doesn't detect graphic input! It detects the cable I uses (HDMI and AVG) AND that I plugged it into a PC, but it just switches into sleeping mode as soon as I start the PC! (The Monitor works fine on my laptop).
Now I removed the GPU and used the onboard graphics with HDMI connection - the same problem! Now, I only have one 8GB-RAM stick, and I switched it between all 4 slots just to be sure - nothing. I double-checked the two PGU cables I have connected (8pin and 24pin ATX) - everything seems fine!
I just can't find the problem and its driving me insane! The only thing that says that something might be wrong is this little LED thing on the mb, it switches between 10 / 19 / 15(I think, its to fast to see!) / 55 endless! That's definitely not normal is it?
Is someone able to help me? I don't want anything more right now than getting this working.
SPECS:
CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
Motherboard: MSI Z87 MPOWER ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
RAM: Kingston 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Asus GeForce GTX 770 2GB Video Card
PGU: SeaSonic 520W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply
Also if nothing works, can someone tell me what part might be the fault, so I can switch it in?
THANK YOU!

You may be able to repair this.
Remove the cpu and inspect the socket with a bright light and magnifier.
Fine the culprit pin and straighten it if possible. If not just RMA the board.

Recommendations for switching between two machines and one monitor

Hi,
I have a MacMini and a MacBook Air, both with Thunderbolt Display ports but I have one monitor. I'd like to switch between the two without having to unplug and plug the monitor back in every time. Any recommendations for some sort of switch or Thunderbolt hub would be greatly appreciated.
Best,
Chris

This should work if the display use display port/mini displayport inputs. A mini display port connectors plugs into the Mac's Thunderbolt port for video

Mid-2012 RMBPro 10.9.4: Is it possible to switch between graphic cards? Activity monitor shows the high perf card always active even through no running apps need it.

How does one switch between graphics cards on a RMB Pro that has both a regular and high performance card installed?

There's no control built into OS X to manually switch between them (that I know of). But in your Energy Saver preferences, there is setting called Automatic Graphics Switching that will either keep the discrete GPU on all the time, or automatically switch it off when not in use. Do you already have this preference turned on?
It might keep the high performance graphics card on if it's plugged into AC power, since there is no battery life penalty in that case.

Switch between integrated graphics and discrete graphics on a Satellite P-50A

I have a PSPMHU-0C702Q and I'd like to know if there is a way to switch between the intel integrated graphics and the nvidia discrete graphics?
And/or...is there a way to turn off either one?
I'd like to use the integrated graphics doing web and email but when gaming, switch to discrete.
I found a post stating the following for a different machine...
"...Your CPU has integrated graphics capability, but your system utilizes the ATI graphics card, so the integrated graphics on the CPU are not used. The ATI graphics card has better specs than the integrated graphics anyway...."
Which points to the discrete graphics being used, however, when I run the directX diagnostic, the display device shown is the intel HD graphics 4600.
Any insight? Thanks in advanced.
B

I went through a similar pain recently. Assuming that your hardware supports having both display devices enabled at the same time, set up the IGP using the modesetting driver. This doc should have everything you need to get set up:

Re: Satellite P750 with 2 external monitors

Hi,
I am just wondering if it is possible to have two "external" LCD monitors connected to my Toshiba Satellite P750?
One on the VGA and the other one on the HDMI perhaps?
Cheers
Niels

My system is factory standard Windows 7 64-bit with no modifications of any kind. The system automatically detects the monitors.
I can switch between displays using the Fn+F5 key or by using the right-click menu from the Windows dekstop (Graphics Options - Output to - Extended Desktop...) or by using the Intel graphics setup in 'Graphics Properties'.
The VGA attached display shows up as 'Monitor' and the HDMI attached display shows as 'Digital Display'.
So I can have any combination of two of the three displays: built-in display, VGA or HDMI. It would be nice if I could use all three at once but that seems to be a hardware limitation.
I can set any display as tthe primary Windows monitor. In my case I have the setup 'Graphics Options - Output to - Extended Desktop - Digital Display + Monitor' which makes the HDMI display the primary. Using the 'Extended Desktop' configuration means that I can drag windows from one monitor to another as if they were one large monitor, but I can configure them separately and play full-screen games on just one monitor while the second monitor is used to display other information.
I made sure of being able to use two external monitors before I bought this system. I discovered the benefits of dual external monitors many years ago and I would hate to go back to being restricted to just one.

7344 servo motion switching between open and closed loop operation

I have a custom end-of-line test system presently using a 4-axis 7344 servo controller to perform various functional tests on small, brushed DC motors. The system is programmed in C/C++ and uses flex motion functions to control the motor during testing. Motors are coupled to external encoder feedback and third party PWM drives running in closed-loop torque mode from an analog command signal. The system uses all four motion axis channels on the 7344 board to independently and asynchronously test up to four production motors at a time.
In closed-loop mode, the system runs without issue, satisfying the battery of testing protocols executed by this system. I now have a request to add additional test functionality to the system. This testing must be run in open loop mode. Specifically, I need to use my +/- 10v analog output command to my torque drive to send different DAC output levels to the connected motor.drive while monitoring response.
I do not believe the flex motion library or 7344 controller includes functions to easily switch between open and closed loop mode without sending a new drive configuration. I am also under the impression that I cannot reconfigure one (or more) servo controller axis channels without disabling the entire drive. As my system runs each axis channel in an asynchronous manner, any requirement to shutdown all drives each time I change modes is an unworkable solution.
I am open to all ideas that will allow asynchronous operation of my 4 motor testing stations. If the only solution is to add a second 7344 controller and mechanical relays to switch the drive and motor wiring between two separately configured servo channels, so be it. I just want to explore any available avenue before I place a price tag on this new system requirement.
Bob

Jochen,
Thank you for the quick response. The 7344 board does an excellent job running my manufacturing motor assemblies through a custom end-of-line tester in closed loop mode. A portion of the performance history and test result couples the motor through a mechanical load and external shaft. The shaft is in contact with a linear encoder that closes my servo loop.
My new manufacturing requirement is to also sample/document how the small DC motor behaves in open loop operation. Your solution is exactly what I need to perform the additional functional tests on the product I am manufacturing. I see no reason why this cannot work. I was originally concerned that I would need to reinitialize the 7344 board after changing axis configuration. Initialization is a global event and impacts all four channels on the 7344 board.
Using flex_config_axis() to change axis configuration on a single channel without disturbing other potentially running axis channels will solve my concern. It will be several weeks before I can return to the manufacturing facility where the 7344-based testing machine is located. I will update this thread once I verify a successful result.

Re: Memory upgrade on Satellite U200

Where is the memory located on this model as can not see it with any removableable panel?
Ta

Do you mean the Satellite U200?
The RAM slots are placed under the keyboard. So you must remove the keyboard holder (between keyboard and LCD), remove the screws securing the keyboard and then remove the keyboard.
On the right side are the memory cover and the RAM slots.
I have no experience with notebook disassembling, to go an local ASP and ask an technician for help.

Best way to speed up switching between apps?

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out what I can do to make my Mac Pro better, (ie, faster) at switching between applications. There will be times when I am working in Photoshop and I need to go back to Illustrator, or InDesign (these seem to be the 2 worst offenders) and it will literally take minutes for my computer to finally open the .ai or .indd file. And just fyi, the files are already open, I'm just clicking from the PS environment to an already open file in Illustrator or InDesign and bringing them to the front.
Is this a lack of RAM? Is it something else? Is it an Adobe issue? I'm just pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to make this better/more efficient. If buying/installing more RAM would help, then I am open to that, but I just want to make sure that is the root of the problem, or that it will at least make it better. I suspect that it's not necessarily just an Adobe-centric issue since clicking on Firefox will also reproduce the same problem, ie. it will take a minute or two to finally come to the front.
The basic breakdown of my system: Mac Pro 2 x 2.66 GHz 6-Core Intel Xenon, 8 GB Memory (8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3), running system 10.6.8. Adobe Creative Suite 5.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
-Eric

It might help to have Activity Monitor running while you're working like this, to see what's happening to the CPU, the RAM, and the drives. Activity Monitor is in your Applications/Utilities folder.
The first tab of the application is CPU usage. Unless you're pegging the cores with a heavy processing job (eg, file conversion), that's unlikely to be your bottleneck, but it's always possible that there's a process running there you weren't aware of.
Next is RAM. When you have large files open, those files are stored in RAM, so with PS, AI and ID files open at the same time, you may find you quickly use up your available memory. Check how much red, yellow, blue and green you have in the pie chart. Any time you have to page RAM out to the hard drive, it'll cause a slowdown. I would say 8GB is actually on the low side for that kind of simultaneous use of Adobe apps. Get 12GB or really as much as you can afford.
Obviously check drive space - you should leave a good 10-15% room free on your project drive. And are you storing the media/project files on your system drive? Using a separate, fast (ie, 7200rpm) drive, or even two striped, can give you MUCH better performance when reading/writing media.

A/B switch for monitor?

Hey all--Please advise. I want to use a large monitor that is connected to a working G5 as a large monitor for my MBP. To avoid having to crawl under the desk to unhook the large monitor from the back of the G5 (as we do use the G5), I was hoping I could find something like an A/B switch that could sit on the desk, that could be switched over to the MBP when needed. Does something like this exist, and where might I find it?
Thanks! --d

You'd want to look for a KVM switch. They share the keyboard and mouse also. They assume you're using the same interface to connect with so you'd need an adapter for your MBP to match your G5. If you don't want to share the keyboard and mouse I recommend looking for a manual one so you don't have to use a key combo to switch displays.
Another option would be to see if your monitor has multiple inputs and the ability to switch between them. This is the rout I use between my PC (connected via DVI) and my MBP (connected via Displayport).
Frys would be a good place to look if you have one near you.
Also these are two cheaper options available online (based on reviews the quality seems good):
