Screen flickering on my second monitor
I just updated to Mountain Lion and I have screen flickering on my second monitor. How do I get rid of the flickering? It seems to happen when I move a window around, or scroll on that screen.
Are you using the TV as an extended desktop or as a mirrored display?

ARD, screen share and a second monitor
I have a 2008 20 inch iMac and 13" aluminium macbook. I wanted to use the iMacs screen with my macbook and decided to get ard (as it was kind of cheap on the app store).
I was a bit disheartened when I found that, when controlling the macbbok from the imac, I couldn't make the window go full screen. I understand this was a resolution issue that couldn't be gotten around.
However did find out that if set used ARD's screen share (rather than the light version that comes with OSX) that I could get full screen by reducing the resolution of the iMac.
However when I plug an external monitor into the macbook it all goes wrong. If I am using the OSX version of screen share (light) then I can choose to show only one display. If I use the ARD version I don't have that option and can only view both screens.
What I had hope for was to be able to use the fullscreen capability of ARDs screen share with my macbook with a second screen attached, but only view the macbook screen on my iMac.
Is there a way of achieving this with ARD. Or am I going to have to try an alternative software?
Thanks
GarethThe obvious choice for an Apple display is the 24-inch LED (backlit) Cinema Display. It as the same Mini DisplayPort connector, and it will give you a few more USB ports. But it as some extra features that may not be necessary for use with an iMac, such as its own iSight camera, built-in speakers, and a power connector for use with MacBooks. And it costs $899 retail. But it would certainly look nice next to an aluminum iMac.
http://www.apple.com/displays/
For a non-Apple display, there are many choices. They are generally cheaper. The standard digital connector is DVI. You can also use a display with a VGA connector, but DVI would be better if you are getting a new display. If your iMac is a 24-inch model, its built-in display has 1920x1200 native resolution. That would be a good choice for an external display, typically 23 or 24 inch. You can go all the way up to 2560x1600, which is typically a 30-inch display (including Apple's model). You can even get one with Dell branding that works.

Your choice depends on how much you can afford to spend and how big (in terms of resolution) you want it to be. -
Whenever I open and then full screen a video or stream of any kind, I am unable to use another window of Firefox while the video/stream maintains full screen. When I click off the video/stream it reverts back to the smaller screen. Is there any way to change this?

Screen flickers when dragging from dock lists to desktop
Hi there, I have a Mid 2010, 27 inch iMac 2.93 GHz Inter Core i7 with 8 GB ram with ATI Radeon HD 5750 1GB. Running Lion 10.7.2.
I have noticed that lately when I click and drag an item from my Downloads (the list on the Dock) to my desktop, my screen flickers for a second before I release it. Screen shot included:
What can be the cause of this? Is my graphics card dying after 1 year?Vlad - you win the award for the most cluttered desktop on the planet. I think you get a plaque for this!
It appears you have an issue with the graphics card. You should run the Apple Hardware Test.
Here's how:

If you have Applecare, set up an appointment at the Genius bar asap (before your Applecare expires). If you do not have Applecare, I strongly suggest you get it asap (before you no longer qualify to buy it) and then set up your Genius Bar appointment. -
2509M screen flickers for a split second every 8 to 10 seconds
help. this is annoying. my screen flickers every 8 to 10 second. colorfull static flashes really quickly. help me troubleshoot please. This is awful.
Hello dustinmulvaney,
I understand you’re having an issue with you HP monitor flickering off and on. I will do what I can to help resolve this problem for you. Some of the things I’m going to ask you might have already done so please just ignore those and proceed.
1st- Please check your connections on both ends to make sure they are tight and secure. Also make sure the pins within the cables are not bent or broken.
2nd- If you can try to attach the monitor to another PC to test. If the issue still exists it’s a monitor issue. There always is a chance the PC is causing this problem.
3rd- On the bottom right corner of the monitor there are some buttons. Press the menu button then toggle down to factory reset. (Note factory reset doesn't affect your PC at all just your monitor). Don’t be surprised if the screen flickers and goes off and come back on .
4th- Click on the link and it will direct you to a page that will allow you to update the drivers for your monitor. Pick the current operating system that your PC is currently using and see if there is a driver available for it. Monitor Drivers
Please respond at your earliest convenience.
Thanks

How do I use my second monitor when first monitor in full screen??
HI. I just added a second monitor to my mac mini lion setup and when I go full screen with an app I can't use the other monitor. How do I fix this? Thanks.
Bump?

I want to use my apple TV as a second monitor not a mirrored one, in other words, I want to use my TV as a second screen not a copy of my first screen,other people have asked this question but have been given mirroring answers so I am spelling it out here very specifically. I want a second display. This should be possible and would be awesome. Anyone know how to do this?
Nevermind I just installed it to try it and it's awesome, so happy right now, Thanks. All the things I had read about it on third party sites led me to believe it could not do extended desk tops, thanks for your help!

Extending the desk top, adding a second monitor/screen
Hi,
I bought an Apple Mini-DVI to VGA adapter that allows me to plug my 20" vga monitor into my imac so that I can have more screen space. I had hoped to be able to drag files over to the 20" screen. That works, but when plugged into my imac, the 20" screen is blurry, and I can't look at it for more than five minutes without getting a headache. If I hook up the 20" screen to my pc, I can work on it all day.
I got the idea to add my 20" monitor to my imac after reading posts here on the forum, which all gushed about how great the result was. I went into the Genius Bar to ask about the blurriness I was experiencing, and they told me to call Apple Care. Apple Care didn't know what to do, and after putting me on hold several times, they said the blurriness was "normal distortion" from the adapter. Well, then in my opinion, the adapter is useless.
Is there anything I can do, or should I return the adapter?Thats strange, I have the same set up as you and the second monitor works fine with the Mini-DVI to VGA adaptor. The only thing i could suggest would be to try connecting another monitor to the Mac and see if you have the same problem. If not, it must be the monitor.

Second monitor "hide" the programs behind the screen background.
Hi!
Updated my system a couple of days ago. When I rebooted, my second screen comes up as normal, except I can't get anything to show on that screen.
The primary screen works as normal. The second screen shows the background and conky, but when I try to open anything on the screen, it opens, kind of behind the background. I can use the program, and drag it to the first screen. Then I see it. It's almost like the screen background covers it.
Have a nvidia GPU and using Awesome as VM.
Anyone have an idea what the problem might be?

[Solved] no signal w/ second monitor and dual screen using nouveau, i3
Hi!
I just brought my old screen to my room and try to make it work. It works when the other one is not connected, so no hardware problems. The result is that I can go to the right and do stuff and move the window to my working screen, but the monitor stays black and says "no signal". I tried a long time with nouveau but without success. I was not able to make the graphic card work with the propretary driver from the website and I don't want to downgrade the xorg-server to 1.12 to install nvidia-96xx...

I don't know what I should try. I haven't tried yet the "old-school" Xinerama stuff, but it seems tedious and error-prone...unless someone tells me that it is actually a different and possibly working approach I'm not going to try it. Any hint is welcome! :-)
Best,
Marc

Thanks for pointing out the repo..I did yaourt -Ss nvidia from the beginning and I didn't pay attention to the nvidia package. Sometimes archlinux is more user-friendly than one expects...
So now my second monitor works. :-)
Moral of the story:
If you want to use the NVIDIA driver, read
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nvidia
And if it doesn't work, read
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nvidia
again, because maybe you missed something...
Best,

Imac 27" Intel Core7 CPU 16 Gig RAM. Screen goes black and will not respond except with a push of power button. Second monitor connected via displayport continues to display fine. Apply Store did full hardware diagnostic and all is fine. Did clean wipe from Mavrick back to Mountain Lion but problem remains. Apple Store can do no more.
I did some more digging, it appears to be a backlight problem only. I can see the screen very dimly if I use a bright flashlight in a very dark room. It also seems to run ok if the brightness is turned down a LOT.
So I'm thinking this is a LED driver board issue or the display itself. I'll open it up and check the connection between the two and see if I can get any more clues. At least I can use it somewhat now by dimming the display significantly... -
Using Laptop screen as second monitor?
Hey gusy,
I have a Mac Pro and a MacBook Pro. With the Mac Pro I have just the one screen - used to have two, but now just the one as I rarely need it. However, for a job I'm doing at the moment, it would be handy to have the use of two screens. Do you know if it's possible to hook both computers up and use the LapTop screen as a second monitor for my Mac Pro?James Arter1 wrote: ... older Mac Pro's, so no Thunderbolt :-(
Then it seems you can't use your LapTop as a second monitor for Mac Pro.
An external monitor would seem to be the least cost path to more display.

I want to see the result of my editing on the second monitor for broadcasting
Window > Arrange and right at the bottom New window for (your file name)
You can drag this across to the second monitor, and work on either window. The results will be reflected in the other window. You can have each window at different zoom levels, so It's a useful trick for seeing an overall result of making a local edit while zoomed in.
Note: if your dual monitor workspace has panels open on the second screen, they will obscure the new window. So you would need to change the workspace back to something like Essentials. -
Second monitor goes "blank" when first monitor goes full screen in Mtn Lion.
Hello Apple community. I am using two monitors and when I put a program like iTunes in fullscreen mode (with the arrow symbol in top right) the second monitor displays that grey patchwork and I can't move windows over there.
My question: Is there any setting to change this (so I could have one screen in fullscreen mode and the other screen on the desktop) or is this just the way it is?
Any info would much appreciated!
Thanks

It's just the way it is.
BetterTouchTool (free app, in the app store) has a little feature that resizes your windows to full size when you drag them near the top edge and returns them to the previous size when you drag them down again. I find this useful when using two monitors (saves you having to resize them manually). -
I have a PB running Leopard and the screen died. (Actually it was killed by a drop) Anyway I want to be able to access it via a second monitor but it is currently set for "Mirroring Off".
Is there any way to turn on "Mirroring" by key combinations? (Right now I can't see the primary screen of course. )
Thanks in advance!!
