Set One Display as 'Default' on Startup?

I have a Mac Pro 2.66 GHz Dual-Core that I have connected primarily to one external display (22" LCD monitor by Insignia) and two LCD projectors. The projectors are not always plugged in, because the primary use of this computer is in the tech booth of a theatre space, but logistically, we need to have the VGA cords for the projecters plugged into the back of the Mac at all times. I'm having trouble getting the computer to recognize the LCD monitor as the default/master display on startup (both when the projecters are plugged in and when they're not.) Is there a way to set the display settings to always recognize the port that the LCD monitor is plugged in to as a default? When it doesn't, I can't see the login screen on startup.
Thanks for any help you can give!

Login to your administrator account and in the "Arrangement" tab of "Displays" system preference, drag the menu bar to the picture of the 22" display.
Have you tried switching DVI ports on the back of the computer?

Set External Display as Default?

I have a 15" Powerbook with OS X 10.4 installed. I have hooked up an external monitor to the Powerbook's external DVI output.
Is there any way I can set the external monitor to be the default (ie primary) one? I'd like to have the main menu bar, the dock, and all the desktop icons display on it, and have new applications open on that display.
Thanks,
Doug.

In the "Arrangements" pane of "Displays" System Preferences, drag the menu bar from the picture of the laptop display to the picture of the external display.

Display broken - set external display as default

my powerbook g4 screen is kaput. the computer is working fine otherwise and detects the external display i plugged in, but i'm not sure how to set the external display to be the primary display without being able to see the 'system preferences' menu on the powerbook display. any ideas? thanks

Hi, woody02, and welcome to Apple Discussions. Try pressing the F7 key on your keyboard to toggle between extended-desktop mode, which I presume your Powerbook is in now, and display-mirroring mode. In mirror mode, you'll have the menu bar and desktop items on your external display, and you'll be able to set your monitor preferences from there. If this doesn't work, post back for other ideas.

How to set change mode as default for workbench objects

Hi experts
I've always wondered if there is a configuration option in NW BW 7 where it can be set whether double clicking a workbench object will show the maintenance screen for that object in change or display mode (default is display). Because is annoying to have to set edit mode every time one double click a workbench object in the development system, and as it is a development system, it would make sense to have edit mode by default instead of display
I was thinking that it may be related to the client role, but who knows...
I appreciate your help
regards

Not sure where this can be set...if anywhere.
But how about this for a workaround: Right click the object in RSA1 and the select Change instead of Display.
That would save you a click if I counted correctly

How does one define a default style for a custom Flex component?

How does one define a default style for a custom Flex component?
hello
I created a new set of Flex component library slib.swc (Flex 4.5). Would also like to have a default style. defaults.css file, making it the default style of the component library.
Like flex the builder install directory of sdks \ 4.5.0 \ frameworks out \ libs directory has a spark.swc file, open with Winrar will see defaults.css this file. Defaults.css file defines the default style of the flex spark components.
How can it be achieved?
As follows
slib.swc contains a CLabelEx components, and a defaults.css file
defaults.css source file as follows:
@ namespace s "library :/ / ns.adobe.com / flex / spark";
@ namespace mx "library :/ / ns.adobe.com / flex / mx";
@ namespace cn "http://os.slib.cn";
cn | CLabelEx
        styBackgroundAlpha: 1;
        styBackgroundColor: # 569CC0;
        styBorderAlpha: 1;
        styBorderColor: # 569CC0;
        styBorderWeight: 1;
        styCornerRadius: 3;
In slib.swc the application MyLabel.mxml of the source file as follows:
<? xml version = "1.0" encoding = "utf-8"?>
<s: Application, the xmlns: fx = "http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009
                           xmlns: s = "library :/ / ns.adobe.com / flex / spark"
                           xmlns: mx = "library :/ / ns.adobe.com / flex / mx"
                           xmlns: cn = "http://os.slib.cn
                           the minWidth = "955" The minHeight = "600">
        <fxeclarations>
        </ fxeclarations>
        <cn:CLabelEx x="67" y="112"/>
</ s: Application>
I hope CLabelEx default use cn | CLabelEx, style to display its appearance.
I refer to above approach, but failed to achieve. Can you please re-Detailed
Thanks!

dj is right. Any Folder can be a picture folder.
Create a root level folder and add it to your Pictures Library in Windows. It will show up with all the scattered pictures from other programs. It can even be a different dirve if you like. You can even specify one to be the default save location for pictures in this dialog.
Navigate to Pictures in your Libraries in Windows Explorer Right Click and select Properties.

'''IT'S A EASY AS IT SHOULD BE.'''
This is essentially paulbruster's answer, but I've added the steps some might assume, but which aren't so obvious to those of us who are new at this, like me.
This solution might ''appear'' to be long and complicated, but after you follow the directions once, you'll find it's quick, clean, and simple. Almost like they designed it this way.
# If you haven't already, open a bunch of tabs on a few different subjects.
# Click the List All Tabs button on the right side of the tab strip.
# Select Tab Groups.
# Create a few groups as described [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/what-are-tab-groups#w_how-do-i-create-a-tab-group here] , i.e. just drag them out of the main thumbnail group into the new groups they create.
# Now click on any thumbnail in any new group, but not the original big default group you may have left some tabs in.
#A regular Firefox window will open, but'' only the tabs in that group will be visible.'' You also now have the Tab Groups button in the tab strip.
# Right click on any tab, and there it is: Bookmark All Tabs. Click on it in the list of options. Or you can hit Ctrl+Shift+D instead and go straight to the dialogue box from the tab without any clicks. But don't go looking for this familiar option anywhere else, 'cause it's not there.
# Now pick an existing folder or create a new one just like you would have before and '''shlpam!''' there they are. New folders are supposed to end up in the Unsorted category all the way at the very bottom, but for some reason mine show up at the bottom of my last sorted category.
# DO NOT CLICK THE UPPER-RIGHTMOST X to close this group of tabs. This will close ALL of your tabs in all groups, currently visible or not. At least it asks if you're sure first. Instead, click your new Tab Groups button to return to the Boxes 'O Thumbnails window, and click the X in the group box you just bookmarked.
# Click on another thumbnail to repeat the process with another group, or click on a thumbnail in the big default box to return to the original FF window. You can also click the Tab Groups button at the upper right, or Ctrl+Shift+E, which will also get you ''into'' the Boxes 'O Nails window ''from'' FF.
# So now when you reopen FF after shutdown, simply select your folder from your Bookmarks and Open All in Tabs. '''Just like paulbruster said. '''

Help diagnosing colour management problem - windows 7, CS3, Eye-one display 2

Hi,
I had my colour management all set up and working on my old laptop then I foolishly got a new laptop and am completely failing to get things straight.
The new laptop (Asus N56VM with Nvidia GT 630M) is running Windows 7.. I've calibrated the screen using my Pantone (X-Rite) eye-one display-two and straight away it looks much better to the eye. I calibrate to native white point which I always do with laptops.
I've used the following procedure to make Windows 7 load the profile at startup and removed the GretagMacbeth tool which attempts to do the same:
http://www.laszlopusztai.net/2009/08/23/stop-losing-display-calibration-with-windows-7/
Everything looks great except when I attempt to use anything with colour management.
Eg. All my old photos looked great in Adobe Bridge until I activated Color Management via it's settings and suddenly they look awful - sky blues turn turquoise.
If I open an sRGB tagged file in photoshop it looks the same - awful (using Preserve Embedded Profile and with a working space of Adobe 1998 in Color Settings)
Only way I can get images to look normal in Photoshop is to open them then ASSIGN the monitor profile to the image (I know this makes no sense to do and is in no way a workaround)... and it looks great.
Something's not right somewhere but not sure where to start looking since there are so many variables. Can anyone suggest a route to investigate based on what I've said so far? This is driving me nuts!

Ok, I use the same tool and software to calibrate my monitor. I disagree with Lazlo p about resetting Color Management. What you should have is under Devices>Display, click "Use my settings for this device". (You will have to go to the place you checked Windows display calibration and uncheck it first.)
When I first started using Win 7, I did not have either checked, (I didn't know about Windows Display Cal) and had fits. Then I checked "Use my settings..." and it ran fine.
The reason the Gregg MacBeth Calibration Loader tool is needed has to do with their reluctance in updating the software completely to run in 64 bit. The Calibration Loader has always been a part of their software and for at least, XP, has run seamlessly. I now have the icon for Cal Loader in my tray, and after reboot, I'll click it to be sure the profile has loaded. Most of the time it has.
I verified it with the support group who verified the need to use that tool in 64 bit. The workaround? An entirely new software package at a considerable sum!
So I did what Lazlo suggested, and when I had completed the changes, I clicked the cal loader icon in the Tray.
The display changed!
I trust the Cal Loader.
I do not grasp what MS implies in their discussion of WCS vs ICC, especially with respect that WCS is better.
Finally, I am doubtful that you should be using native white point. It's not simply a choice available to laptops, but to all LCD screens (AFAIK!). There is a huge difference between 6500K and native white point on the Dell u2412,so much so I dismissed it out of hand and tweak the colors in RGB during calibration. Your laptop may not offer that path.

Access web page with alternate tab displayed by default

I have a WebHelp project with a start page that displays the
Contents tab by default. Is there a way through the URL to have a
different tab (e.g., the Search tab) display by default? Thanks.
Tim

I need a way to open the same WebHelp project with the
Contents tab displayed by default if the project is accessed
through one method or with the Search tab displayed by default if
the project is accessed through another method. I am using RoboHelp
X5.0.2.
Peter, I generated my project with the Search tab set as
default. I viewed the start page, and the Search tab was correctly
displayed by default. I made a copy of this start page and saved it
to a different folder location. I regenerated my project with the
Contents tab set as the default. I copied the alternate start page
into the project so that I essentially had a start_contents.htm
page and a start_search.htm page. This method was ineffective. Both
the start_contents.htm page and the start_search.htm page now open
with the Contents tab displayed by default.
Is there a way through the URL to be able to specify the tab
to display by default (sometimes the Contents tab and sometimes the
Search tab) for the same help project, either through using
multiple start pages (which in my test appears to be ineffective)
or through additional code in the URL itself?

Q: Partition offset setting vs displaying

My customer has RHEL systems connected to CLARiiON storage. Per EMC recommendations, they have modified the offset of the partition start to 128 to align with the backend disk blocks. The default offset is 63 if I remember correctly. However, when I look at two different LUNs (one with the 128 offset and one with the default) I get different numbers:
</pre>$ sudo powermt display dev=all | grep Pseudo | egrep 'poweri|powerj' | cut -d= -f2 | awk '{ print "sudo fdisk -l -u /dev/"$1 }' | sh
Disk /dev/emcpoweri: 126.7 GB, 126701535232 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 15403 cylinders, total 247463936 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/emcpoweri1 128 247449194 123724533+ 83 Linux
Disk /dev/emcpowerj: 134.2 GB, 134217728000 bytes
64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 128000 cylinders, total 262144000 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/emcpowerj1 32 262143999 131071984 83 Linux
$</pre>
As you can see the offset for emcpoweri shows the 128 offset that was set in fdisk when it was created. However, when emcpowerj was created it was left to default which should be 63 but it displays 32. So which is it? Is the default 32 but the default for the "b" advanced option 63? Or is fdisk confused?

Edited by: bobthesungeek76036 on Mar 22, 2012 8:06 AM

Using the { c o d e } tag (no spaces) before the first line and after the last line still works.
Or is fdisk confused?If the LUN or partition data changed behind the scenes (while the drive had a partition mounted) any changes won't be recognized until the disk is unused and then mounted again. Fdisk tries to alert you to this with its babble about "still using old table" when you write the modified partition table using its "w" command.
You may want to try to re-read the partition table:
# /sbin/partprobe /path/to/LUN-or-device
# /sbin/partprobe -sThis may help; check using:
# /sbin/fdisk -l /path/to/LUN-or-deviceHWH

When I email myself a picture from my iphone 4s, the email is sent from an email account that I don't have set up as the default account. How can I set it up so that the emails are coming from the default account selected in Mail?

Under my mail tab, it shows that I have a specific email account set up as a default account. That is the account I would like for me emails to be sent from. But when I actually send out an email such as a picture, it is being sent from one of my different email accounts that is not set up as the default. How can I change this so that future messages will be sent from the default account? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!!

All photo attachments received or sent with the iPhone's Mail app appear inline or viewed in place within the body of the message when viewed with the iPhone's Mail app which is the same with the Mail.app on a Mac. A photo attachment that appears inline or viewed in place does not mean the photo was not sent as a true attachment to the message. A photo attached to a message with the iPhone's Mail app is sent as a true attachment to the message. How an inline or viewed in place attachment appears on the recipient's end depends on the recipient's email client. If the recipient's email client does not support viewing an attached photo inline or viewed in place within the body of the message, the attached file must be manually selected and opened to viewed.
I am getting the email with the Picture Inline ( not as attachment),The picture is shown distorted , no metter what i do and with what mail client i am using (Gmail\Hotmail\My Enterprise exchange mail), i still get the same behavior.
With which email client?

How do I set one wifi network as preferred?

We have 2 wifi modems at home as the signal is bad in some parts of the house with just one. So I have set up another as a relay. However, all of our apple iPads/iphones automatically default to the one modem we use the least. Even if there is no signal bars at all it will default to that modem and never chose the other one which it is set up for unless I manually change it every time I wake up the ipad. I have tried forgetting the network and then putting them back in in different orders. But same problem always occurs. Is there a way to set one network as the preferred first choice network without deleting the other one completely? Many thanks

system prefs>print and fax>print and you'll see a pulldown menu labelled Selected printer in print dialog. It defaults to Last Printer Used, but you can choose a specific printer if you want that for your default.
