Trouble arranging monitor display with 2 monitors and a projector

I just installed Yosemite (it's pretty awesome) and I am having a little trouble with screen arrangement. I think it has something to do with each display now having it's own menu bar. But what do I know?
I have an iMac, a second monitor and a LCD projector. I was sort of navigating out the top of second monitor to get to projection screen. And the way back to screen one was tricky. I was running the dvd player and it lost picture and I had to get to my iMac and fiddle around and then move dvd app back to projection window again. I'm sure there is a better way to handle this.
My lcd projector looks way better now. Very happy about that.

Hi I have just bought a new Mac Book Pro 15" Retina display with 256 SSD and 8G RAM. I had my info transferred form my Previous Mac Book Pro late 2011 to this machine. When trying to download Mavericks it says it cannot be loaded onto this machine? Strange as I have just downloaded Pages, Numbers and Keynote...free? Thanks and Regards

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You already have got OS X Mavericks installed (the Keynote, Pages and Numbers versions available in the Mac App Store are only compatible with OS X Mavericks).
You have got a Late 2013 MacBook Pro, which uses a special OS X Mavericks version that is not available in the Mac App Store. This is the reason why the Mac App Store is not compatible with OS X Mavericks even if you are using it. This will be fixed in OS X 10.9.1, when your Mac uses the same Mavericks version as all other Macs.
Until then, you can reinstall OS X through OS X Recovery > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718

Hi Guys,
Checked the mini display with Dell flat monitor and Samsung LCD tv , works perfect. The VGA port of my old monitor is not in good condition.

How to use an external display with Windows 7 and a Macbook Pro (Unibody)

I just set up my new Macbook Pro 15 inch with the Windows 7 beta, and noticed that I couldn't get the external monitor to be seen using Windows 7 only. I am using my Dell 30 inch monitor and it was only seeing the laptop's main display. The fix was to download the Nvidia video drivers for the 9 series (e.g. the GeForce 9600/9400), after which it was maically able to see the display.
The driver can be found here. Enjoy.

Does Aero work?

Using TV as display with mini dvi and hdmi connections

Hi
I want to use my flat screen tv as a display for my airbook. I have a mini dvi to hdmi connector (supplied with my mac) and an hdmi cable. When I connect, I can see my wallpaper on the tv and my cursor but nothing else. I can move the cursor on the tv with the trackpad on my mac but there are no icons, toolbars etc. What am I doing wrong and can anyone help?

If you want to see your desktop (icons, menus, etc.) you need to go into Apple Menu: System Preferences -> Displays and select "Mirror Display" under the Arrangement tab. There is also an option that allows you to move the menu bar over to the external display.

I wanted to keep my locked screen display with the time and date from turning off is that possible

So I enjoy my locked screen display with my chosen picture because it has the time displayed nice and big and its a cool nightlight but the locked screen display/wallpaper/time with date always goes black after 13ish seconds of locking it is there no way to let the locked screen stay on while charging? because it is awesome if it could stay on as a nightlight also so i dont have to press the lock button to see what time because the normal display is ugly am I just being super picky or am I not the only one who agrees or maybe it does exist im just stupid please respond when you can also thanks for reading much appreciated.

Again, there is NO WAY to do what you asked: display the time constantly.
I have a clock app that displays the time constantly on my iPad. I use it as a bedside clock. Many clock apps have the ability to disable autolock just within that app. Whether there is one that lets you pick your own background, I don't know but I wouldn't be surprised if there were, based on the number of clock apps out there. While what I'm suggestion is not precisely what the OP asked (display the system lock screen), it seems it might be a possible workaround.

Trouble synching Photo Album with 1600+ photos and videos

I have a very big album with over 1600 pics and videos. At some point after 1200 or so, I started getting error messages when trying to synch my photos to my computer. I am terrified to loose my pictures and want them on my phone at all times (they represent a video journal of my now year old twins since they were born). Does anyone have any idea of how I can continue to synch them with my computer without having to erase them from my phone?
Thank you!

Photos/videos in your iPhone's Camera Roll should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. This is an import process, not a sync process.
With every other digital camera I've used and imported photos and/or video from, I've always deleted the photos and/or video from the digital camera after the import process is complete.
After doing the same with your iPhone, you can transfer selected photos and video back to your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process - creating separate albums by month for example for the 1600 photos and videos. Keeping your iPhone's Camera Roll to a minimum will speed up your iPhone's backup process - which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the sync process.
With iPhoto on my Mac when importing photos from my iPhone or from any digital camera, Events are created automatically based on the date the photos were taken. An Event is created for all photos captured on a particular day with an option to split a single Event into multiple Events. I can also create albums for select photos with an option to transfer selected iPhoto albums and/or Events to my iPhone keeping photos organized by Event and/or by Album as I prefer on my computer which is also reflected with the Events and/or Albums I've selected to be transferred to my iPhone.

Splitting Mini VGA signal between monitor and video projector??

Hello there,
I'm trying to develop an inexpensive tech setup for a classroom/lecture environment involving a mac mini. However, since the mini has only 1 DVI/VGA port, I am wondering how possible it is to split the VGA output and send it to both a VGA monitor (so the teacher can see what they're doing) and a video projector (so the students can see it) simultaneously.
In other words, the same screen content is sent to both display sources.
Can anyone recommend a reliable solution? I've researched 3rd-party VGA splitters to some extent, but am looking for some actual 'on the ground' experience doing this successfully.
Many thanks,
Richard

Thank you for your suggestion. I will look in to this.
I should haven mentioned that the video projector is ceiling-mounted at the back of the room while the Mini and monitor are positioned at the front of the classroom, so I am also concerned about lengthy cable-runs.
Thanks
Richard

How do I set up a dual display with my macbook and an iMac?

Hi all,
I have a macbook and an aluminum iMac. Is it possible to set up the iMac as an external monitor? If so what cable will I need, because I read that I would need a mini DVI to standard DVI adapter but it does not seem to fit into the ports.
Thanks a lot

Not directly, because the port on the iMac is for video-out only (ie, adding a second monitor to the iMac), it's not for sharing the iMac's screen out to another computer.
However, there is a nice software solution available with ScreenRecycler.

Trouble building an installer with NI-DAQmx and tasks

I am having trouble getting an installer that includes my tasks for NI-DAQmx. I select the configuration wizard from the hardware tab, it shows my tasks with checkboxes but i cannot 'check' the task I want, it says "the item cannot be checked because it depends on other items whose software has not been installed". The drop down menu for the 'scales' can be shown and checked but that doesn't include the tasks when i try to install the 'package'.

that was the problem... but raises another issue.
My DAQ device NI-USB 6008 was not connected to my "development workstation" but was on the "distribution workstation". When I connected the USB DAQ device to my development workstation I was able to check the checkbox and it was included in the configuration file and when I installed the application on the development workstation, it worked as expected.
Does this mean that any time I make a change to the "Task" i'm going to have to have the DAQ device (the UB 6008) attached to my development workstation for the installer build to work?... that seems cumbersome... and since I'm going to be developing my App to run on 4 different workstations each with it's own USB 6008, am I going to have to configure the appln 4 ways (4 tasks) - 1 for each workstation?

Troubling extending wireless network with Time Capsule and Airport Extreme

I am trying to set up and extend a wireless network in my house, but it’s not working right. I have two Airport/Capsule units in the house:
2TB Time Capsule (Dual-Band II)
1 Airport Extreme (Dual Band)
I have the Verizon Fios router as my gateway to the internet, and also as my DHCP server. I have also tested the ethernet ports in my house to verify that they work, and that I can get a DHCP-issued IP address.
Now, my Verizon router has WiFI, and it’s still on. I am not using it though except to troubleshoot. So far as I understand, this should not cause a problem.
Base station setup
So I setup the TC to Create A New Wireless Network, on the ethernet network it’s on (Dlink switch plugged into Verizon router). I set it up in Bridge Mode (as opposed to having it dole out IPs, since the Verizon router does this already). The TC gets a valid IP, and my wireless device connect to it without a problem. I have checked “Allow this network to be expanded” under Wireless settings.
Extended station setup
The AE Dual-Band is plugged into the Ethernet, and is reset to Factory Settings. I name it “Airport Extreme 2” and I chose “I want Airport Extreme to join my current network.” The other two options are: “I want to create a new wireless network” and “I want to replace and existing base station or wireless router with Airport Extreme.”
I chose to “join,” I select “I want to connect Airport Extreme to my network using Ethernet to extend my existing wireless network.” The other options are to disable wireless entirely, or to “wirelessly join my current network.” On the next page it asks me to select the device or network that the Airport Extreme will connect to using the Ethernet. I set it to the Time Capsule.
Results:
Access near the Airport Extreme 2 is incredibly slow. Speedtest shows I am getting less than 1Mbps. Worse yet, my mail client won’t connect. It just times out.
What I had hoped was that the AE would connect via Ethernet to the network, and just bring the wireless network to the other side of the house. Instead it almost seems as though it is just re-amplifying the TC’s signal. Otherwise, why is performance so bad?
Thanks to anyone with some insight here!

Hello Kennuff. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Since you have the ability to connect all of the routers by Ethernet, there is no need to configure the Time Capsule (TC) & 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) for a dynamic WDS (aka, extending a network). This option is only when the routers do NOT have an Ethernet connection between them.
Instead, you want to configure the TC & AEBSn in a "roaming" network. I suggest starting by performing either a "hard" or "factory default" reset on both.
Next be sure that both the TC & AEBSn are on the same Ethernet subnet coming from the Verizon-supplied router.
Configure the TC & AEBSn as follows:
AirPort Utility > Select the TC or AEBSn > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless
o Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
o Allow this network to be extended: <not checked>
o Radio Mode: <leave the default or if you require a specific mode make sure both routers are configured the same>
o Wireless Security: <configure both routers the same>
AirPort Utility > Select the TC or AEBSn > Manual Setup > Internet > Internet Connection
o Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)

Having trouble syncing this computer with login name and password

I dis all the work on my business computer with regards to transferring the favorites, email addresses, etc from AOL. I then signed up for the sync option and I do have Sync Key. However when I try to sync my home computer I get a message that either my account name or password is invalid and I am not sure what to do at this point.
Thank you,

Ignore that message until you have all the characters of the account name typed in the appropriate field. See how that works.

I'm having trouble using thunderbolt display with my mac desktopy

The display works fine withe the MacBook Pro but I can't get it to work with MacPro desk top

Your Mac Pro does not have a thunderbolt port. It will only work with the Cinema display.

Which is faster, MacBookPro with retina display with best cpu and 16gb of RAM or a iMac 21" with best CPU and 16gb of RAM?

I am consierding updating my old 2009 MacBookPro which is just used as a desk top and am interested in finding the answer to the above question.

Looks like the MBP...

G/L Account Display with Vendor Number and Name -Urgent-

Hi Experts!
Is there a transaction, report, or table that can show a list of all the vendor names/numbers for transactions posted to a specific G/L account for a specified period? If so, please let me know. Thank you for your time!
Best Regards,
WC

We can display the Vendor number from the layout in FBL3N report, but the Vendor number will be displayed only if the document is posted from MM module. If the posting is from normal FI, it will not be displayed.
Other option is to develop a simple ABAP report to display Vendor.
Thanks
Murali.
