Tecra S2 can not switch to external display

With my Tecra S2 and when docked in APR-III replicator, I used to be able to connect my external screen (through DVI) so that it was automatically switching screen output to it by default, not only at startup screen of windows (yes I noted the forum topic on startup of windows) but also when displaying login screen and beyond.
Only problem now is that it does not do that any more, it now only sends the output to the external screen during startup, and then switches back to Laptop Display when showing the Windows login screen and when logged into Windows.
Also after starting up and logging in, FN F5 does not react at all, even when changing to DVI, screen does not come on.
I get the feeling that either settings of nVidia Properties (dual screen, single screen, etc) or Mobile Extension Manager settings have something to do with it.
Anybody who knows the answer / resolution to this problem ?
Any experts on Mobile Extension Manager or multiple monitor settings in nVidia with Toshiba Tecra's ?
Thanks,
Arjen

I have managed to setup my Tecra S1 with the external screen as the primary/default. It has ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 graphics and I just extended the desktop to the second screen and then selected it as the primary monitor in the ATI properties Display tab. The problem is that I can't now get it to show the same image on both screens so when I use the laptop with a projector, I am stuck with the extended desktop. I can disable it in the settings but it automatically returns to extended desktop when I plug the second monitor in. Any idea how to turn it off permanently?

G50 won't switch to external display

I've updated the Intel video driver to the latest, 6.14.10.4277, but I still can't get my external display to work with my G40 through the external VGA connector. The display works with my R40, but not with my G40. It doesn't even show anything during boot. I'm using the driver for the Intel(R) 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics Controller. I've set the BIOS to display both on bootup, but still don't get anything on bootup either. Any ideas? I can't say this has ever worked, because I haven't tried it until now.

First, try resetting the parameter RAM:
Hold down keys CMD-Option-p-r on startup until you hear the second chime.

Loss 3D graphics and can't connect to external display with NVIDIA card

I note this morning that the graphics in 3D mode of iWork (version 4.1 with system 10.6.8) no longer appears in all software suite. The 2D graphics are displayed perfectly. I also notice I can't connect an external display when I am on NVIDIA card but work well with Intel card.
The 3D graphics are printed but not displayed on the screen (it also appear inthe thumbnail). It seems to be a worry to display.
I posted two screen images showing the problem of 3D in Pages.

Can I run two external displays off a MacBook?

Hi there.
I would like to run two external 20" Acer (VGA) displays off of my MacBook. I already use one 20" in addition to my MacBook screen but would like to have two full sized screens to work off and would not need the 13" from the MacBook.
The MacBook literature says that only a second monitor is supported but I was hoping there is a way to override the MacBook screen in a two monitor setup and port the display to the third monitor.
Any ideas ??

You can have two independent external displays on the workstation macs such as G4, G5 and Mac Pros but not on apple laptops to the best of my knowledge. If you look on that page it shows the Mac Pro then underneath it is the image of two montiors side by side with the shark image going across it. Lower down is a Macbook Pro with one additional monitor next to it.
This is the text which accompanies the image:
"With an all PCI Express architecture, Mac Pro supports a lineup of state-of-the-art graphics cards to ensure a spectacular visual experience. Every Mac Pro supports two displays — including one 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Display — and can be expanded to drive an array of up to eight displays."
Im assuming the up to eight displays refers to the fact that you can add extra graphics cards to the Mac Pro.

MacBook Pro not automatically recognizing external display

I have an ACER 2216W LCD display connected to MacBook Pro with DVI cable. When I first plugged the ACER display into MacBook Pro, the ACER started right up -- nice plug and play. I disconnected DVI to bring MacBook Pro to school, and when I reconnected it at home, I received a "NO SIGNAL" error message on the Acer. I sent the Acer to their tech support in Texas after receiving no support from Apple (in Canada) and it tested fine on their PC. (They do not support Mac). When I attach the display, or turn it on, MacBook Pro screen goes blue and comes back quickly, as if it is trying to id the display. When I push "Detect Displays," I get nothing. System Profiler is not showing an external display. Any ideas -- is there a start up command I can try? Thank you! My Photoshop homework is building up.

Can you use any external display with a macbook?

hi all,
I was just wondering, can you use any external display with a macbook? (i.e. gateway, and dell displays?)

To original poster:
Yes.
Provided you have the appropriate ports and cables, that is. Some monitors do not have all vga, dvi-i, dvi-d, hdmi, etc. ports, and it can be misleading that all those technologies appear to be compatible via conversion cables (they aren't all meant to be compatible, so look it up on the internet before buying).

Sometimes when I play songs in Itunes by double clicking on them, Itunes will place the song as the first one on the album. It will chnage the order of the songs on the album, and I can not switch them back to the correct order.

Sometimes when I play songs in Itunes by double clicking on them, Itunes will place the song as the first one on the album. It will chnage the order of the songs on the album, and I can not switch them back to the correct order. This onloy seems to happen when I double-click on the song to play it in itunes. If I just hit play, this doesnt happen. As a result, I have several albums now in which the songs are in the wrong order. Its very frustrating, as this error then transfers over to my ipod every time I sync it. When I choose the info. for the songs, it has them correctly listed (i.e., it lists the songs as being #1 of 19 on the CD, for example). But then the song will have placed by Itunes as #5 of 19 for whatever reason. Itunes does not do this every time, but does it with enough frequency to be maddening. Any thoughts?

The problem of tracks becoming de-linked between iTunes and the music files in your iTunes music folder happens for different reasons - this seems to come up fairly commonly in this forum.
The solution can be to locate each song in the iTunes library, as you mentioned - or, but wait, before I get to that...
trouble finding the original track in your iTunes music folder? maybe look for it under compilations, or if not using the 'group compilations preference' then look in the folder under the songs artist name, but what song artist name iTunes uses depends on what you have in the metedata tag spot for album artist or song artist. Any varyation in artist name spelling, in the menu item 'get info' metadata for any selected individual track will cause iTunes to create that as a separate artist folder in the library, even names like 'various' or any difference at all (even the word 'the' can change where in your iTunes music folder a track gets placed by iTunes). You can try to use the finder function of find file (finder munu item outside of iTunes) to locate hard to find items.
Back to how to re-link any de-linked tracks .
There may be scripts that can help re-link de-linked music files - or, at least provide you a list of such files, Scripts are easy to install and use...
at Dougs Scripts, there is one called iTunes Track CPR that might work
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=itunestrackcpr
or, if you just want a list of de-linked tracks, go to
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/
and find the script called List MIA's, this will create a text file listing all de-linked tracks

you may find more insight into dealing with this kind of issue there, although some of that thread may not apply to your case, aspects of it might help.

MB switches to external display upon closing the lid - instead of going to sleep... what to do?!

Since I updated to Mountain Lion (from Snow Leopard 10.6.8) my MacBook doesn't go to standby mode anymore, when i close the lid with an external display attached.
Instead it switches the external display to be the primary display and keeps on running.
It seems to me there used to be an option to choose how the MacBook reacts on the lid being closed. But as desperately as I looked fr it i couldn't find it.
Is there still any way to tell my MB that it should just power down, when i shut it, even with another display attached?
Hopefully it is just hidden away somewhere in the preferences... would be really stupid if Apple had taken that feature out...

Tabstrip control can not switch (Do not respond when focus on field of subscreen)

Hi Colleagues,
     I have met with a very strange question, which worries me a lot these days. Would you please help me with it?
     The problem is like this:
     1. In normal case, I can switch to another tab when I click it. Please see picture in the attachment (Tabstrip1.png)
     2. But when I click on field on the subscreen of one tab, set focus on one field, in the picture of attachment switch2.png, I can not switch to another tab, it just does not respond. I really do not know why this happens.
     Could any colleague give an answer or hint about it? Thanks a lot!!
     You can access the program by TCODE: EPIC_RPR on EBJ client 003 or QI3 system client700 .
BR,

yea thats what i thought, thats the most sensible answer that they expect you to
know it.
but... have you taken any of the them? would love to hear from someone thats taken a few, i wasn't even sure if i'd put this post in the right forum to be honest.
just seems odd why they say 95% of the material is in the prep stuff seems too easy.
i'd have thought that since the cs4 exam had that many more questions that the cs5 exam would have even more prep material but obviously not so.

My IPAD just stop to work. Blocked. I can not switch it on or off. Nothing happens. What can I do?

My IPAD just stop to work. Blocked. I can not switch it on or off. Nothing happens. What can I do?

If you mean that the screen is frozen then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I can not switch on my mobile why ?

Could you please suggest me regarding my problem?? I can not switch on my mobile?

Very vague.
Charge it?
Maybe if you were to explain, more help could be given

MY IPAD CAN NOT SWITCH ON OR SWITCH OFF

MY IPAD CAN NOT SWITCH ON/OFF. SCREEN IS BLACK AND ONLY RUNNING CYCLE ON THE CENTER OF THE SCREEN. LOOKS LIKE THAT STACK????

Is your iPad charged? If so, hold the power/sleep button and home button until the apple logo appears in center of the screen and it restarts. Then what happens?
