Switching window layout on dual monitor

Hi i have color up with dual monitor but i want the scopes and color window switched between monitors. I can just drag each window across and switch them around but there is no resizing option so one window is larger on the smaller monitor when switched from the larger one.
How else can i switch windows around?
Thank You.

Dont worry i figured it out. If you change the Menu Bar in the OS display settings it will switch the scree arrangements of color

Window Restore on Dual Monitors after Waking

I asked this question in the OSX forum a week or two ago and didn't receive a response. I'm thinking most of the dual monitor uses must have Mac Minis so maybe this is a better place to ask. When my monitors awake from sleeping, it's a crap shoot as to where my app windows will appear. Is there any way to fix this? The monitors are HP LP2475w's. I didn't have this problem with a single monitor.

I have this exact same problem. The only fix is a reboot. Currently I'm experiencing the opposite as well. My macbook still thinks it's hooked up to an external monitor. If I open up the display settings and click Gather Windows I can change settings for the no longer attached Dell 1905FP. It's an intermittent issue. Sometimes I don't have this problem for a week, other times it occurs twice a day.
I'm using the mini DVI to DVI adapter and like the parent, the only fix is a reboot.

Windows & Mac on Dual Monitors with Boot Camp

Can you run a windows program & a mac program at the same time on dual monitors using boot camp?

No. OSx licensing only allows running OSx on Apple hardware.
What program? Boot Camp only partitions the drive for Windows. Boot Camp has no impact or affect on Windows. The only difference between running Windows in a Boot Camp partition or in a VM is that Windows uses the computer's hardware natively in a Boot Camp partition.

Saving window position at dual monitor system

Hi!
Is it just me, or is it a bug? I use flash at a dual monitor
system an place the stage on the first and the actionscript window
on the second screen. After restarting flash, both (the stage and
the AS-window) are at the first screen.

I am having issues with it too:

Safari window "stuck" on dual monitor

I have dual monitors set up as an extended desktop. Normally I can drag windows from one monitor to the other and back again. Today I dragged a Safari browser window from the right monitor to the left, and it wouldn't drag back again. It will drag offscreen to the right, but it "bumps" against the left hand border when I drag in that direction. I went into the monitor settings and set to "mirror", then back to extended, and that got my window back. But the next time I dragged it, it got stuck again. I've quit Safari, repaired permissions, run Cocktail and restarted. Still stuck. Anybody know what's up with this?

This may be your solution (or not), but I see this as well, but usually when the window is near the top of the screen. This is because the Menu takes up space that windows cannot invade and act as a block. Dragging the window slightly down and over gets around this.

Windows 7 and dual monitors

Hello,
Just bought a new iMac for black friday (woohoo). I know I can install windows 7 but my question is, if I use another monitor(iMac being the primary computer) is windows 7 going to work with my dual monitors? Sometimes I work from home and I need 2 monitors under Windows. I will mostly use the remote desktop connection program from Windows.
Thank you

if you install the apple drivers you make with the bootcamp app in osx or download from apples site sure
been using a 24" dell dvi monitor as second monitor for my imac in windows7 and windows 8 and now windows 8.1
work as well as it does in osx

Windows left on dual monitor after disconnect

(I'm sure this is easy so I apologize in advance for being clueless
I have a 15" powerbook AL. When I disconnect my dual display, I often have windows that get stuck on the "other" display. For example, Google Earth seems to think it should display on my (now disconnected) other display. "Detect displays", restarting Google Earth, and rebooting has no effect. I can FN-F9 and see the window but when I click on it, it zooms back off screen.
How do I convince the computer there is no other display attached?
Thanks!

You can open your system preferences, go to display and hit detect displays.
This should take care of it when it realizes that there are no external displays attached)
(This is also where the gather displays button is located)

Advice: Mac Mini / Dual Monitors / PC Mac Configuration

Hey Guys, need some advice for a semi-switcher friend.
I have a business associate who has asked me the following questions and wanted some advice from the mac forum.
My friend's background is as professional web site developer. He is currently using Windows XP with dual monitors.
His boss is going to buy him a Mac Mini to work along side his PC. He wants to know what would work for dual monitor / PC / Mac Mini configuration.
Here are his questions:
"One, what do I need to do to run dual monitors on a Mac Mini since it doesn’t have another graphics card like my PC?"
"And two, what is the best way to use my dual monitors with my Mac and PC? Should I trash the PC and use Bootcamp/Parallels or use something like a KVM switch since the Mac doesn’t come with a keyboard or mouse?"
"I still need to be able to do testing with IE7 and Firefox (which I believe is different on a Mac than a PC), so that’s why I considered using Bootcamp or Parallels. (I prefer Parallels due to the rebooting of Bootcamp, but am wondering if I might experience any troubles otherwise and am better off with Bootcamp since it’s a Mac product and not third-party software. I’m neutral on this.)"
Any help or suggestions would be welcomed.
Thank you in advance.
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.3)

There is one factor you might want to pass on to your semi-switcher friend in his consideration of a mac system.
There's a subtle difference between MacOS and Windows that can significantly impact on how well a Windows user adjusts to the Mac, particularly when used to dual head operation. Windows attaches a menu to each and every window (and application) whereas MacOS does not. While a Windows user only has to navigate to the menu bar at the top of each window, a MacOS user has to navigate to the single menu bar along the top of the screen (or primary screen if on a dual head system.
It's not a major issue, but for a pro used to simple and quick navigation off on the secondary display, having to navigate over to the top of the primary display to do something instead of quick flick up and done, there can be a small degree of frustration and a slight impact on workflow.
I hasten to add that with those I have seen make this very transition, the effects were short lived, but it leads to the thought that where the Mac is concerned, it might be marginally better to go for a single widescreen display than dual head.

Osx dual monitor support via rdp

does os x rdp to windows 7 support dual monitors? I remotely login to windows7 which has dual monitors via rdp. I was wondering if I could get dual monitors for os x and keep the same display as my windows7. Any advice is appreciated

I have a dual monitor setup. When I paste develop settings from one image to another, Lightroom switches the active window.

Strange problem. Lightroom 5.5. Windows 8.1. Dual monitor setup.
I'm processing a large batch of photos. I have Monitor #1 set as my main develop window, with Monitor #2 set only to display a larger version of the image I'm working with. If I copy the develop settings off of one image and try to paste them onto another image, Lightroom will switch from Monitor #1 to Monitor #2 as the main develop window, and will not display anything on Monitor #1.
If I then try to paste develop settings onto another image on Monitor #2, LR will then display a larger version of the image I'm working with on Monitor #1.
To work the way I want to, I have to continually drag my develop window back to Monitor #1 every time I try to paste develop settings onto a new image. How can I make this stop?

I just tried what I think you’re saying you’re doing and I don’t have the problem with LR 5.5 on Windows 7 SP 2.
Does the same thing happen whether you use the key shortcuts vs the Settings / Copy/Paste options on the menu?
I ask this because if you’re using the keyboard shortcuts, maybe you have some display-manager program that has bound itself to the Ctrl-Shift-V (paste settings) to the function of move-to-other-monitor which would do at least part of what you describe.
You can also test this theory by doing a Ctrl-Shift-V with an application other than LR as the active window and see if it moves. I suppose Ctrl-Shift-C might also play into it so try both of these hot-key combinations with a program that isn’t LR.
If none of this sheds any light on the situation, then give a more detailed description of the low-level functions you’re doing to accomplish the copy-paste of settings, so someone else could replicate the steps exactly.
Specific detailed steps, like:
left-click on source photo’s thumbnail in the filmstrip
press Ctrl-Shift-C to copy the settings
click Check-None
enable the white-balance and calibration checkboxes
click Ok
left-click on destination photo's thumbnail in the filmstrip
click on Settings / Paste Settings in LR’s menus to paste the settings to the selected photo

How do Dual Monitor with my Mac Book Pro (Boot camped with Windows 8) through my mini display port VIA Thunderbolt to a iMac (Model Mid 2011)?

So I have a Mac Book Pro with a bootcamp Windows 8. I dual monitor on the Mac side with my Mid 2011 iMac through my mini display port via thunder bolt cable. In my perfect world, I would be able to switch to the Windows side and have the iMac mirror or extend my windows display for my gaming pleasure, etc. I'm not sure if it's just a simple driver or that it cannot be done. Please help. Thanks.

[SOLVED] Dual monitor: can't switch from X to vc

I have a dual monitor configuration on my laptop (Sony Vaio VGN-SR21M), so that I can work with the laptop screen and an external lcd at the same time. It works amazingly well, every screen has its own resolution and I can drag windows from one screen to another (ATI drivers are wonderful in this aspect!). The only problem is that I can't switch to vc pressing Ctrl+Alt+F2 or any other function key: the laptop screen freezes black, while the other shows "no input" box. Pressing Alt+F7 the X interface is restored correctly to both screens. If I start X without the external lcd the problem disappears, so I think it is a multimonitor issue. Here's my xorg.conf:

I think it has something to do with the Screen sections, but I don't know exactly where the problem was (I changed many settings at once). Hope my new xorg.conf could be useful to someone with the same problem. Thanks everybody for the help.

Windows Photo Viewer and dual monitor slideshow

Why does Slideshow only works on a main display?
why can't i move Photo Viewer to the secondary monitor then start slideshow there? if i do that in Win7 RC the secondary display will turn all black and the main one will start the slideshow.

that seems to have worked for me, but the inactive screen is still blackened, do you think the photo viewer doesn't fully support dual monitors? I also noticed the picture is the same display size as the primary monitor, as in whatever size is is during
a slideshow on the primary is the same when switched to the secondary.
I could juy st tap the window key to get the primary back, but then the unused portions of the secondary revert to the background...this seems like a strong candidate for a windows update that actually changes the way the OS works... can I has some cash
now?
hey, MS, WTF?
pictures viewer unable to work with few monitors?
i checked - by pressing "Window Key+Shift and tap either the left or right arrow"
it changes monitor, but other one hold black!
i checkerd win7, win2008srv, win2003

Indesign CS3 Crashes Randomly on Windows x64, Dual Monitor Setup

My coworker and I just had our computers upgraded Windows XP 64-bt on the following computer setup:
Intel Core i7 920 2.66Ghz CPU
8GB DDR3 RAM
Gigabyte GA-EX58 Intel X58 Motherboard
1TB Seagate ES.2 7200rpm 32MB Cache SATAII Hard Drive
We're running CS3. Indesign keeps crashing on her machine, randomly from what we can tell. It runs fine on my machine.
We are running Indesign in compatibility mode for Windows XP on both machings (the crashing was much worse before we turned it on).
The only difference between my computer and the workstation where Indesign CS3 crashes is she has a dual monitor setup.
Any thoughts on what might be causing it?

Thanks for the heads up.We're actually kinda banking on Windows 7 to be a bit more stable and switch to that, but it's a long few months when your program crashes every few minutes.
I just realized that we don't have the latest update (5.0.4) on her machine, we've downloaded it and are hoping that will help to at least reduce the crashing...

Elements 11 Preview Window not visible in dual monitor mode

When I go to dual monitor mode the preview window is hidden. I can still hear the audio from the clip but I can't see the video window. It is still hidden when I switch back to single monitor mode. The only way to bring it back is to close out the program and reopen it. Does anyone know where it goes and how to make it visible?

MAINEEDIT
I have just set up for Premiere Elements 11 Dual Monitor Mode in Windows 8 64 bit computer.
How do you have your monitors set up...Extend Across.. or other?
I am not having any problems keeping track of what I believe you are referring to as the "Preview Window". So please excuse
if I double check with you via the following screenshot.
Preview Window which can be brought up
a. double clicking the file in Project Assets
b. double clicking the file on the Expert workspace Timeline
I am going to go over this one more time with my Premiere Elements 11 and Windows 8 64 bt computer to see
if I can create the situation that I am interpreting that you have.
Thanks.
ATR
Add On...This especially makes me ask....
When I reopen the program the preview window appears in its normal position.
The Preview Window is going to close when you save/close the project. As you saying that you re-opened the project
to find the Preview Window opened?
