Separate X screen. Can't access original screen.

Okay, I'm using a laptop and have an external monitor plugged into it. I've set it to run separate X screens (I want it to run like separate entities).
I've created a bash script to start openbox in the second window.
$HOME/.config/openbox/screen2.sh
In my /usr/bin/openbox-session
Anyway, so it starts off great. Both screen pull up and every thing's happy.
However the problem comes when I switch monitors. When I move my mouse over I can't move it back.
I can't seem to figure out how to get back to the other screen.
Below is my xorg.conf

My bad.
New development though.
I was recently at a LAN party and I was using one of my friends monitors with my laptop.
After setting up everything (it was pretty much the same Xorg minus the Screen Res) I was able to switch back and forth...
I'm not sure but I have a hunch that this might be caused by the fact that my screen's resolution is so much smaller than my laptops resolution.

Can I access Foxtel through apple tv?

Hi I have just purchased Apple TV in Australia but also subscribe to Foxtel with a separate box. Can I access the Foxtel through Apple TV or do I have to keep unplugging the Apple TV every time I want to see something on Foxtel and plug in the Foxtel hdmi cord again? Cheers.

Connect them to seperate HDMI ports, if the tv has multiple HDMI ports, then use the controls for the tv to switch inputs.

My Macbook won't boot up because there isn't enough free space for my start up disk. It's now stuck on a blue screen. How am I meant to delete files to free up space if I can't access the computer?

My Macbook won't boot up because there sin't enough free space to run the startup disk. My Macbook now won't go past the blue screen so exactly how am I meant to be able to delete files if I can't access the computer?

Do you have a bootable backup?
What operating system are you running? If OS X 10.6 or lower, boot from your original OS X DVD or a retail OS X DVD and then delete files as needed. Your goal should be to get to 10% of your disk capacity free.
If you have OS X 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion, you don't have many choices in recovery mode (boot holding the command and r keys down).
If you have a FireWire or Thunderbolt connection, you can try target disk mode with another mac.
If none of those work, perhaps your local Apple store can help with a bootable external drive.

Two days ago, I have a new iphone 4S. After I installed the OS and start the iphone, I found a strange screen says "!9D/JC" that blocks the iphone and I can not access the iphone until click many times on the "Desmiss" button at the botom of the screen.

I appreciate if you could provide me support to solve this problem especially it consumes the battery a lot.

The user also claimed that he didn't meddle with iOS. No solution could be found though.

What OS?
What screen display settings do you have?
Try changing the screen display settings in Windows or OSX to increase the resolution?

In iTunes prefs>Store - is the Store check box unchecked?

Application no longer assignable to a desktop in Spaces. Useable only in full screen, can't access it when not in full screen.

This is a repost to correctly ID this as a Spaces issue. I am using a MacBook Pro with a second monitor in extended desktop. I put iMovie in full screen and when I put it back, it disappeared off of both desktops. I can see it in Spaces and I can use it in full screen. However, it is not available when not in full screen. When I drag and drop it in Spaces to a desktop, it animates off of the top of the screen versus landing on that desktop. I have tried to change the application assignment by right clicking on the iMovie Icon > Options > Assign To, but it affects nothing. I have rebooted both with the external monitor and without, I have uninstalled and reinstalled iMovie and I have tried many combinations of screen resolutions and it is still assigned somewhere other than a desktop. It appears to no longer be associated with or assignable to a desktop. Anyone have any ideas?

Can you access iMovie without being in fullscreen when you do not have an external monitor connected? I cannot. No matter the monitor configuration, it is only accessible in full screen for me.
I agree - it is for sure a bug.

Iphone 4s in settings can't access Notes or Mail. Also can't access mail from home screen. Can't send email. All else is good.

I need help. I have reset my iphone. I have turned it off then on. Still can't launch my built in mail app from home screen. When I try it goes to blank page then right back to home screen view.
In settings for the iphone 4s I can not access Notes or Mail, Contacts,Calendars. When I tap either of the two they highlight in blue and then go right back to Home Screen view. I seem to be able to access everything else in settings with no trouble.
From home screen I have no trouble I can launch the built in utility Notes with no problem. I also can launch Calendars from Home Screen view. My Contacts are still reachable by tapping Phone from H/S view then clicking on contacts.
I can not launch mail. nor can I send email. Also the built in mail app is not showing it is recieving mail either. All else seems fine.
I can log in to my email from Safari on iphone and from my laptop with no problem.
Anyone have any suggestions? My iphone is out of warranty. Apples only suggestions are To pay for support.
Thanks in advance

Just had a thought....was trying to rememberif anything changed last night. I think I installed a mac OS X Security update. That's about the time the trouble started. Any ideas? Thanks.

Dear Staff
I have a consultation with you. Because my sister is updating the IOS8 I phone 4S. Then was not able to use it. Random screen freezes apple. So bring your instruments to Restore Center. Machine can use it. But can not access the page that actually works. Because of the problems with ID of icloud.
She forgot the ID of the user and that of the other. I caught only a password is *******. I would like to ask for technical assistance. What should I do to get back to work normally. Or you can reset the ID and password or not., And set to work. If you do not have an iPhone, this airplane. It becomes a good paperweight itself.Hope you will understand. Buying splash, it is not easy because it's expensive.Learn to understand and to help.
Highly respected

It is locked to your sisters carrier.
She would have to ask her carrier if they unlock iPhones and if she qualifies for this service.

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

HT201380 Yesterday this was automatically installed. Today I can't access a document in Pages. A prompt says I need a Pages update. But the next screen tests for updates and informs me everything is up to date. What's up?

It's highly unlikely that the Pages update problem has anything to do with the ARD client update, since the client is not involved in any way with Software Update. I'd suggest asking for assistance with the update problem in the forum appropriate for your version of Mac OS X.
Regards.

All of a sudden, all I get is a 1" x 1.5" box in the middle of the screen that says Firefox, and Yahoo beneath that. I have deleted and reinstalled, same thing. Help, I can't access Firefox after many years.

Besides the word Firefox is a reddish square. Clicking on either the word or the box makes it disappear down to the bottom try. I am at a loss. I've always used Firefox without any problems, now I can't access it. I deleted and reinstalled 4 times this morning. Help

Hi,
Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Toolbar%20keeps%20resetting?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Firefox+window+is+too+large+or+opens+off+screen this].
