Screen spanning doctor won't work

I am using an extra monitor with my iMac and have had success with screen spanning doctor in the past. Now without reason, it won't work. I've tried resetting the PRAM to no avail. Any ideas?

  • Install Screen Spanning Doctor with Leopard?

    I have an iBook G4 (1.33 GHz PowerPC with 1.5 GB DDR SDRAM) running Leopard. I just bought an external monitor and would like to do screen spanning.
    There is one way to install Screen Spanning Doctor that I know will work (boot iBook in Panther off an external Firewire drive, install the hack, then boot it into Leopard off the internal drive), but I don't want to do this if I don't have to.
    Has anyone tried to install Screen Spanning Doctor (for the first time) on a machine running Leopard? If so, did it work? Thanks.

    wweber2268:
    Try posting in one of the Leopard forums, probably the Using Leopard forum. You are more likely to have folk familiar with what you are attempting look at your post.

    My screen brightness controls won't work (don't ask). Is there a terminal command for screen brightness?

  • Updated my iPod touch 3rd gen to 5.0.1 from 4.3.2 and now the screen my iPod won't work anymore.

    Updated my iPod touch 3rd gen to 5.0.1 from 4.3.2 and now the screen my iPod won't work anymore. I restored it, I backed it up and I held the power and Home buttons for the reboot and still nothing. I've been looking to see if any one had the same problem and one guy did but they tOld him it was his hardware, but I don't think it was because my friend was able to get it working but it would stop working again like in 10min. So, has anyone had the same problem and can help? Please, I will greatly apretiate it. :)

    What do you mnean that the screen does not work?
    When you touch the screen the iPod does not respond?
    Nothing shows on the screen?
    Or what?

  • CD Spin Doctor won't work in Mountain Lion

    Since upgrading to Mountian Lion I cannot get CD Spin Doctor to work. Are there any solutions, or if not is there some alternative software I can use to import LP's to itunes 11

    I went through a multitude of problems with CD Spin Doctor X after upgrading to Lion and subsequently Mountain Lion.  Given the fact that Spin Doctor X does not work with 10.8 I had two solution paths.  One was to partition the hard drive on my Mac mini and put 10.6 on it and use Spin Doctor X that way. The path I chose was to purchase another mac mini on eBay which I got for a steal and use it for Transcription of LPs.  I chose the M-Audio ProFire 610 device to convert my  LPs from analog to digital.  Prpfire 610 is a firewire device and I thought it would solve my problem.  But low and behold Spin Doctor X does not recognize Firewire input signals.  I have an M-audio USB device but my sense is that Spin Doctor X wont recognize that either.  These are serious weaknesses in Roxio Spin Doctor X.  I am not sure Roxio or Corel are the real owners of Spin Doctor X.  It you do an About this Software with Spin Doctor X up you find a reference to Sonic Solutions.  I have ginned up work-around solutions to the limitations of the software.  Staying with older Mac Operatng systems and versions of Spin Doctor X appears to be the only way to go.

  • Macbook Pro 2009 has gray screen, safe mode won't work

    I have a Macbook Pro 2009, with a new hard drive installed in August of 2013. I opened my computer a couple days ago to a gray screen with a prohibitory sign and a spinning gear that will not disappear. I have no backup and tried to backup my hard drive to an external drive in Recovery Mode, but I got an error message and the backup did not work: the image could not be created. So I decided to try Safe Mode, but the Macbook will not enter safe mode. Is there any way to get onto the computer just to backup a handful of files onto an external drive before I format my drive and start over? Am I doing something wrong by trying to enter safe mode? (I held down the Shift key after the chime and released it when the Apple logo and the gear appeared) Any help is appreciated. I've read all the topics in the forums I could find on this issue, but none of the directions seem to help. Thank you.

    LisaLoParo,
    no, you’re not doing anything wrong in trying to boot into Safe mode.
    I can think of three possible alternatives to Safe mode to try:
    If you have an external disk, you could boot from the grey Mac OS X Install DVD which came in the box with your MacBook Pro, and try copying files from your internal disk to the external disk;
    If you have a bootable external disk, you could boot from it using Startup Manager, and try copying files from your internal disk to the external disk;
    If you have access to a FireWire 800 cable and a second Mac with a FireWire 800 port, you could try booting your MacBook Pro into Target Disk mode so that it can be used as an external disk from the second Mac, and try copying files from your MacBook Pro to the second Mac.
    You’d only need to try one of these three alternatives; if you try one of them and it doesn’t work, then you’d get the same result by trying either of the other two. Good luck.

  • IPhone won't get past lock screen. Restart won't work.

    My phone was charging and I took it off the charger, my friend played around and did the color invert thing (where you press the home button 3 times). Now it won't get past the lock screen. When I try to put in my pass code it just puts boxes around the numbers but won't actually press it. I tried restarting it, it's currently plugged into my computer and nothing. It was really warm when I first noticed this. Help!

    It sounds like your friend also turned on VoiceOver, which speaks items on the screen as you touch them (and sounds like the Siri voice).  You will need to go to Settings>General>Accessibility>VoiceOver and turn it off.  However, with VoiceOver on the way you use the iPhone screen changes.  First, to scroll you will need to flick the screen with three fingers.  Next, to activate something on the screen you will need to first tap it once to select it, then double-tap it to activate it.  Example:  to open Settings, tap Settings once (the voice will say "settings"), then double-tap it again and it will open.  The specific steps are:
    Enter you lock code by tapping the first number once to select it, then double-tap it to enter it.  Repeat for the other numbers.
    Press Home.
    Tap Settings. Then double-tap Settings.
    Tap General. Then double-tap General.
    Use three fingers on the screen to scroll to Accessibility.
    Tap Accessibility. Then double-tap Accessibility.
    Tap VoiceOver. Then double-tap VoiceOver.
    Tap "On" next to VoiceOver. Then double-tap "On" to turn it off.
    To fix the inverted colors, go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn White on Black to Off.

  • IPod screen on, but won't work fully?

    My iPod was working fine about three hours ago. I put it in my pocket (nothing else in there) and took it out two hours later, and when I did, there was something wrong with the screen. The backlight doesn't shine through properly, and the display barely shows, in weird, very dim purple lines up and down the screen. I reset it by pressing the Home + Power button at the same time. If I look at it in the dark, I can barely see a glitched display. It showed a very dim, apple sign with purple vertical lines all across the screen when booting up, but I can't see anything once it gets past that. I have no idea why this might have happened! I can see that the ipod is on (barely, the screen is faintly glowing) but I can't get anywhere else. Help

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Done
    - Restore from backup. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • My HP Pavillion a6620f is stuck on the Blue HP screen, F keys won't work

    My HP Pavilion a6620f is stuck on the blue HP screen. None of the suggested F keys will work. If I press Esc or F10, I get a message stating that it's starting up whatever corresponds to those keys, but nothing ever happens (left it for five hours while ran errands and it never changed.)
    Previous to getting the blue screen, I had put the computer in sleep mode by choosing sleep through the start menu. When I came back to the computer the next morning, I'd forgotten that I'd put it in sleep, so I pressed the power button to turn it on; when it came on, it stayed on the blue HP screen. Since then, I've looked at the HP boards, I've taken off the side, vacuumed (lightly) out the dust, unplugged and plugged in the power cable from the hard drive and the mother board, then did the same with the data cable. I plugged everything back in and I'm still getting the blue screen. I don't have a recovery CD, so I don't know what else to do. Can someone help?

    Hey McLundin, 
    I'm sorry you're running into this issue with the blue screen. Is this screen one of the infamous blue screens of death?
    Examples of BSODs
    Do you get any sort of error message on the screen? Look for the word STOP and the code after that. If you need to, you can take a picture of it and post the picture in your reply.
    I would suggest trying a hard reset as the next quickest and less invasive step. This can sometimes fix strange issues because it drains all of the electricity out of the unit. Here are the steps for a Hard Reset.
    If you've got another laptop you can put the hard drive in, you can take the hard drive from the laptop in question and put it in a second laptop to see if it boots. Obviously, if you get the same screen it's a hard drive issue. My bet though, is that it will work, since the F keys on the affected laptop are not even working. (You're pressing those keys immediately on power on right?) Putting the hard drive into the second computer will allow you to back up files, if necessary, to a flash drive or external hard drive. 
    I hope this information helps. Let me know what the results are, if you get a chance please

  • I got the apple update 6.1.2 or it was the 6.1.3 and then when I try to input my lock screen password it won't work it stays blank please help me

    Pease help me I can't get into my iPod when I put my lock screen password but it doesn't even show it's hard please help me

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My 3gs is magnifying my screen so that I can't access the "edges" of the screen - most functions won't work.  I tried to reset "all settings" but I can't access the full keypad to enter my passcode.  Re-boot does not solve this.

    I have an Iphone 3gs - a little over one year old.  It just started magnifying the screen so that many of the functions are not accessable.  Scrolling is either very difficult or impossible.  I've rebooted it many times (in fact I usually need to do that multiple time just to be able to manpulate the keypad to enter my passcode).
    I also tried to reset all settings.  One that screen I can't access enough of the keypad to enter my passcode.  Any comments/help would be appreciated.

    This is asked and answered often.  The forum search bar is on the right side of this page.
    It is also covered in the manual - zoom feature.

  • Screen spanning emac 700 MHz

    Hello all,
    I presume this is a quite stupid question, but here goes; is it possible to do screen spanning with a 700 MHz eMac? I've got a Iiyama Vision Mater Pro 455 here - and I'd like to span the screen instead of mirror it completely. That way I can edit much more easily with FCP.
    Is there any way to do this through software? (I tried Screen Spanning Doctor, but they've excluded the 700 MHz) Or do I need to upgrade the hardware - if so, what hardware?
    Thanks a bunch everybody!
    eMac 700 MHz   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    it doesn't work with a 700 MHz.
    So I guess if it isn't possible I need to upgrade the hardware. Is this possible?
    Sorry, I missed that you'd already tried it; apologies. But if Screen Spanning Doctor doesn't work, you may be out of luck. It's not possible to upgrade the video chip in your eMac, and I don't think a later-model eMac logic board would fit in your eMac's case, though I can't say for sure. Even if it is possible, it's probably not going to be cost-effective. Logic boards for 1GHz eMacs are going for over $300.00 US on the sites I've found that carry them, and you could probably buy an entire 1Ghz eMac for not much more, particularly if you sell yours and apply the proceed toward the purchase of the later-model unit.

  • Screen spanning doc

    i'm using screen spanning doctor with my new ibook g4 14iner. its working great, i have it hooked up to a old huge crt monitor and the colors and the quality are amazing, the picture on it is so crisp. but anyway i've read many reviews about how using this patch burns out your logic board because the 32mb video card is only supposed to run 1 image(mirrored or not). i built a little fan thing that keeps the air circulating under the ibook so it stays cool. i always check the cpu temp and its in the 120's which is pretty low. so is my ibook still going to get all messed but from it working to hard, or are most of the problems using the patch from overheating. sorry for such a long message and thanks for your help
    -john

    i use that program also with my 19" lcd flat panel i have for extended display - and i always leave my computer on so there have been times it's been hooked to my other display for 24+ hours - and the only part that ever got warm on my iBook is the lower left corner by the trackpad - nothing weird or anything, and cpu temp doesn't get super high either and no fan ever kicking in so i am not concerned with my iBook becoming messed up with it. i also have a new 14" iBook (1.42ghz) and have had no issues - i would say overheating would be the thing to worry about but, like i said, i've had no issues ^_^

  • Screen Spanning and external monitor

    Hello,
    This morning I experimented my iBook and screen spanning.
    I got my resolution to 1280X1024, but- The mirrored image sat in the middle of the external screen..I don't know if this is my monitor that is doing this, or if it's some setting I can set on either the laptop or monitor.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you!

    Did you use Screen Spanning Doctor?

    There is a hardware problem.  Whether it's worth it to you to have no working phone for 2 months until you can update vs paying for replacement/repair now is a question only you can answer.
