Second display extended desktop?

I just hooked up my second monitor.
When I bring up displays it gives me the mirroring option.
When I click it I get the same as the first monitor.
How do they set these for FCP X  editing.
Extended desktop I thought it was?

You want extended. See the following it should work for Yosemite

  • Can my computer display 'extended desktop' with a second monitor?

    I believe I have a G4 Quicksilver 867 (2001) (bought it used and figuring out which model G4 is not that easy). I recently got a second monitor, but I only seem to have the option to have a mirrored setup (which works well). Is there anything I can do or rather what are my options to get it to show extended desktop. My video card is
    Chipset Model: GeForce2 MX
    Type: Display
    Bus: AGP
    Slot: SLOT-1
    VRAM (Total): 32 MB
    Vendor: nVIDIA (0x10de)
    Device ID: 0x0110
    Revision ID: 0x00a1
    ROM Revision: 1049
    Will I have to get a new graphics card or is there a workaround of some sort?

    Thanks, not what I wanted to hear, but helpful. hope you'll answer a couple of questions. I bought this computer as a second (do taxes, surf the internet, connected to my wireless router, escape my three kids wanting to use the primary). I've been very happy with it for its limited use (my primary is one of the first Imac G5's).
    1st: Do you think it's worth putting a faster processor in it? My G5 has the latest OS, but I'm hesitant to go past 10.411 with the G4 867
    2nd: Would you recommend a video card update to run extended desktop?
    3rd: Can you run extended desktop on the original IMAC G5's (1.8 ghz, GeForce FX 5200, 64 mb ram)?

  • 24" iMac and 20" Cinema display extended desktop mode ?

    I got a 24" iMac and a 20" Cinema display. I wanted to know if they will work on extended desktop mode? I didnt try to hook it up yet as I am waiting for mini dvi to dvi adapter to come.
    Thanks

    Hi,

    you should have no problems (you must scroll a bit down the iMac 24" section)

  • Dual displays ("extended desktop") on the iBook

    This is in response to a previous query that was strangely archived despite the original poster receiving no definitive answer.
    The iBook G4 (and various other iBooks) does not support "spanning" dual displays (I believe Apple calls this feature "extended desktop") with Leopard. Evidence of this is the missing "Arrangement" tab in the Display system preference pane.
    The Tiger version of Spanning Screen Doctor (http://www.rutemoeller.com/mp/ibook/ibook_e.html) does, indeed, work correctly on an iBook G4 running 10.5.4. After rebooting, the "Arrangement" tab will now appear in the Display pane.
    Hopefully this saves some iBook users some time and effort in resolving this issue.

    Thank you for yor help.
    I have one more question to ask? If I use the LCD TV like Sony or Samsung with the New i-Mac will I loose deskspace on the LCD TV due to the low resolution on the LCD TV? I thought the LCD TV was a good idea since it has all the input for all my DVD player, TV box?, Nintendo, and the VHS?, but I was told that LCD TV might not be too compatible for use with a computer.
    How do I put all my stuff on a Apple 23" LCD display I only can find adapters that can only take one peripheral at a time, and I don't want to re plug a TV box each time I want to watch TV. It looks like I need a box for use with Apple display with 3~4 input and S video, and HDMI input for the HD stuff?
    Again thank you for all your help.

  • Princeton dual display extended desktop

    This is my first apple...I have the G5 quad and I hooked up my two Princeton LCD17 monitors, with the adapters. They both have the apple background screen, but only the right monitor has cursor function, the left is just the blue background w/the info screen on the resolution. I've played around with the resolutions...but to no avail. Are the princeton's compatible for extended desktop? Thanks.

    Good evening!
    Maybe I can help. Maybe I can't. But I'll try.
    I have a Princeton 19" VL193 lcd here, and a 15" LG 566LM lcd.
    When I turn my system on, it automatically goes into extended mode, giving me my normal 19" view with background and menu's and dock.
    The 15" shows a blank screen. So I went into the SYSTEM PREFERENCES under the APPLE menu. In there, go into DISPLAY. Each screen should show it's own resolution settings. I can set each screen's resolution and refresh rate, as well as colors, independently of each other.
    On the MAIN screen, there is the option to "mirror" the screens, and then they will show identical images etc.
    That's what you SHOULD see.
    If now, there is the option to "DETECT DISPLAYS" on the DISPLAY screen.
    So they can run seperate backgrounds / wallpapers, or identical.
    Let me know if this helps at all.

  • Dual DVI Displays (extended desktop) via 1 HDMI Port ?

    Hi, I have a late 2013 MacBook Pro w/Retina Display 15” Quad Core 2.6Ghz i7 with 16Gb ram.
    Running the latest OS (10.10.3) and all latest updates, etc..
    I have 2 23” Apple Cinema Displays which are DVI. I would like them to be used as “Extended Desktop” style on this computer.
    I understand this is possible via the Thunderbolt ports (correct?), but would ideally like them to come out the HDMI port (and work like “Extended Desktop”).
    This is because I will have the bandwidth of my Thunderbolt bus maxed out. And would hate for the video to slow anything down as I will have many drives and interfaces on the TB ports that need the data.
    I am not looking to mirror the displays, but want “Extended Desktop”. I am hoping the 1 HDMI port can support that somehow, maybe with adapters ?
    Any input would be greatly appreciated as far as my options.
    Thanks !

    This thread can be deleted, as I am not getting enough response here, so I posted in another forum.
    Thanks -

  • Screen Sharing: Viewing extended desktop on extended desktop

    My buddy and I both have the same current versions of iChat and Leopard and both have dual displays (extended desktops). When we do ScreenSharing, his dual screens (the entire extended desktop) come through into just one screen of mine (into the larger primary screen but I don't know how iChat determines it) and vice versa when I share my screen with him. We can still see everything, but everything is just smaller to fit two widths into one. The second screen remains dark and blank.
    Is there a way to enlarge the shared screen?
    Or is this a limitation at the current version?

    But of course I want more, not less. The second screen contains all the important tool palettes, which is half the experience! I will nonetheless try (looking for) your suggestion next time, if just to know it. Thanks.

  • Extended desktop issue under XP SP3

    I'm running Windows XP SP3 on my MacBook. The Intel GMA 965 driver will allow me to do the following combinations:
    Just the laptop display
    Just the external display
    Mirrored displays
    Extended desktop with the notebook as the primary display
    Surely there must be some way to do an extended display with the external as the primary display?

    Same problem here... We have about 6 new Macbooks that absolutely need this functionality or they're going back.

  • Mac extended desktop mirroring needing to 'split' the sound

    The setup is that I am using my iMac in one room (the study), and I am using airplay to extend the desktop so that my apple TV in the living room is used to play a movie for my parents to watch.
    The sound and video transfers just fine to the apple TV on 'desktop 2', but I was wanting to be able to play a seperate video on my imac, in the study. I can't seperate the sound. Even though the video is on 'desktop 1' on my iMac any video's sound on either screen will be played through the TV speakers as my System preferences only allow me to select 'iMac' or 'apple TV'
    Is there any way to 'split' the sound?

    ""Extended Desktop" and "Dual Display" mean the
    same thing..."
    Actually, they don't. "Dual Display" simply means
    that the computer can support two displays. "Extended
    Desktop" and "Desktop Mirroring" refer to the
    different modes in which the two displays can be
    used. "Extended Desktop" uses both screens as one
    large continuous desktop while "Mirroring" displays
    the same desktop image on both screens.
    O.K. I'm confused.
    Can the Macbook display extended desktop (one giant desktop with half on the laptop and half on an external monitor) or is it limited to just mirroring the same desktop on both displays?
    Thanks,

  • Increase number of 'hanging forms' after installing extended desktop

    Hello,
    our forms application : forms version 10.1.2.0 on windows & Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 on sun solaris
    Recently some of our users got a second screen (extended desktop) installed , after this change in setup there is a considerable increase in the number of times the application hangs => up to 5 times a day (only the forms application has this problem, other applications still work fine). The forms application runs on the first window (main window) , the secondary screen is used for other application (spreadsheet , mail , ... ).
    My question, are there people who work with a forms appliction on a extended desktop who noticed the same effect ? If so, have they been able to resolve this problem ?
    Thx in advance,
    Francky

    There were known issues with Forms 10.1.2.0.2 and older when used with dual monitors. The known issues were corrected in 10.1.2.3 and newer. It is also recommended that you use a newer Sun JRE on the client. For example 1.6.0_13 or newer. These new JRE versions should only be used if you are on 10.1.2.3 or newer. Older Forms versions may not work correctly with these newer releases.

  • When I launch a video from Finder the video is not visible, it's like it's playing on an extended desktop but I can't see the other screen - what is going on?

    When I launch a video from Finder the video is not visible, it's like it's playing on an extended desktop but I can't see the other screen - what is going on?

    Hi Dan - I'm not sure I know what you mean by 'kick in Expose', can you please explain?
    It's a weird one as it doesn't happen all the time.  Could it have anything to do with running Apple TV and the MacBook 'thinking' there is another display (extended desktop) and playing the video there?

  • When running windows in vmware fusion how do I extend my windows desktop to my second display

    I am running Windows 7 x64 Enterprise in a VMware  session session on my MacBook pro.  I was just given a second thunderbolt display today and I want to be able to extend my desktop when running the windows VM.  When the VM is shut down it's working perfectly and awesome.  However when I'm logged into and working with in the VM, I'm limited to only using one display.  It would be very helpful to be able to extend to the second screen as I need to run 3-4 nearly full screen apps at once and would like to utilize this second display.

    You might get better results raising that question in the VMware Fusion forum. I don't have two monitors so I can't test anything but a quick check on that forum for that question gave: "Normally if a user wants to use two monitors with a VM, they can select "Use All Displays in Full Screen" in Full screen mode."

  • HT5019 If my second display is not showing up on the graphics display window, yet the second display is showing a mirror image, how can I get it to recognize the second display and allow me to setup extended desktop?

    I'm running 10.9.2 on a Power Mac from 2013.  I am using two identical HP monitors.  I have a Y adapter to connect the monitors.  Which I'm guessing means the computer is only seeing one display since there is only one display output. 

    There are no PowerMacs from 2013.   The desktop tower from 2006 on got named Mac Pro.    The problem is probably the Y adapter.    You need a videocard with two display ports, or two videocards to be able to make an extended desktop from one to the other.  If you gave us the Y adapter make and model, we could tell if it supports screen spanning or not.

  • 24"iMac....adding second monitor...... mirror or extended desktop?

    I have a new 24 inch aluminum iMac.
    I also have a year old 23 inch Apple Cinema display that I was thinking of adding as a second display.
    If I did, would that mirror my existing display, or would it allow me to extend the desktop that I already have?
    I would like to extend the desktop. If I could do that, what connector would I need to get to make that happen?
    Thanks for the help and advice.

    You will be able to choose mirroring or extended desktop in the "Arrangement" tab of "Displays" system preference.
    You will need a Mini-DVI to DVI adapter
