Using a second monitor as the primary display with MiniDisplayPort

I've got a new iMac, but the screen seems to be straining my eyes. I'm trying things like scaling the display, lowering brightness, changing desktop layout, etc, but if all else fails...I'd like to go back to my old external monitor.
So, my question is...if I connected this monitor to the MiniDisplayPort on the iMac, could I use it as a single primary display, or would I have to use it as mirrored or secondary?

Hi Brian,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  You can mirror the displays or make whichever display you want the primary in Extended Desktop mode.  See this article for details:
How to use multiple displays with your Mac
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5019
The white bar at the top of the left blue box represents the menu bar and determines which display is your primary display. To change your primary display, click the white bar and drag and drop it on the blue box representing the display you would prefer to be your primary display.
Cheers,
- Ari

  • I'm trying to set up a dual monitor for my new iMac. I'm using a second display I used with my old G5. My iMac recognizes the second monitor but the monitor won't turn on. Power button doesn't do anything on the monitor itself.

    I'm trying to set up a dual monitor for my new iMac. I'm using a second display I used with my old G5. My iMac recognizes the second monitor but the monitor won't turn on. Power button doesn't do anything on the monitor itself.

    If it won't turn on then the monitor is dead (power supply?, video circuits?).  Not worth repairing.
    If you have a new iMac then it has thunderbolt.  So exactly what is that monitor you are trying to connect?  For TB you can connect a mini-displayport monitor.   Probably (not 100% sure with TB) can use dvi or vga too if you have the appropriate adapter.

  • How to use a second monitor in I movie 11

    How can I use a second monitor in i movie.  I could use it under preference in imovie 9, but in the new imovie 11 i can't find any advanced  prefernces let alone how to use a second monitor

    I too got the same. Both monitors went portrait. Then I unchecked the 'Mirror Display' option in the Arrangment tab of iMac display and voila. Got what I wanted.

  • Use a second monitor on a iMac G5 without iSight.

    I'm wanting to use a second monitor with my iMac G5.
    My iMac doesn't have Front Row or the iSight camera. It's the G5.
    I know that I need a cable that's the Mini-DVI.
    But the problem is that my monitor I would like to use as a second monitor doesn't connect through S-Video, it connects through a VGA. Is there another adaptor?
    What do I need?
    Pardon, if I have posted this message on the wrong area of the forum.
    Any links, suggestions, ideas, or anything would be greatly appriciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    I know that I need a cable that's the Mini-DVI.
    Actually that's wrong. You need the Mini-VGA to VGA adapter, referred to in the Apple Store as the "Apple VGA Display Adapter".
    I trust that you are aware that your iMac officially only supports video mirroring, so that any external monitor you connect will show the same picture, at the same resolution, as your iMac's internal screen?
    BTW, for future questions, I'd suggest you try asking in the iMac G5 area. This forum is for the new Intel-based iMac and so perhaps not the most likely place for you to get a quick and accurate response.
    Good luck.

  • Select statement from a join file deletes the primary records with MS Expl.

    Hello,
    is reality,
    Select statement from a join file deletes the primary records with MS Explorer 6, Firefox not, this with a normal data provider or with a normal "select..." statement.
    This is very strange, I should have a.a.s.p. a solution or workaround
    Thanks, Franco.

    Please see the following excerpt from the online documentation.
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e22490/ldr_modes.htm#SUTIL1332
    Enabled Constraints
    During a direct path load, the constraints that remain enabled are as follows:
    NOT NULL
    UNIQUE
    PRIMARY KEY (unique-constraints on not-null columns)
    NOT NULL constraints are checked at column array build time. Any row that violates the NOT NULL constraint is rejected.
    Even though UNIQUE constraints remain enabled during direct path loads, any rows that violate those constraints are loaded anyway (this is different than in conventional path in which such rows would be rejected). When indexes are rebuilt at the end of the direct path load, UNIQUE constraints are verified and if a violation is detected, then the index will be left in an Index Unusable state. See "Indexes Left in an Unusable State".

  • Why does iTunes not display hdcp content on my second monitor?  The adapter monitor and cable have HDCP Support.  This also occurs with a rocketfish mini display port to hdmi adapter.

    It works for a time and then fails.
    ITunes 11.04.
    iMac Purchased Early 2013.

    Seems to work when I swapped dapaters from theb 3.0 adapter to the mini display port adapter.  THis is the same thing that got it worling the first time byt in reverse.
    Had already tried clearing the PRAM.  If it occurs again, I will have to try redetecting displays next time.  Judging by what I saw reading through these forums it will happen again,

  • Second monitor "hide" the programs behind the screen background.

    Hi!
    Updated my system a couple of days ago. When I rebooted, my second screen comes up as normal, except I can't get anything to show on that screen.
    The primary screen works as normal. The second screen shows the background and conky, but when I try to open anything on the screen, it opens, kind of behind the background. I can use the program, and drag it to the first screen. Then I see it. It's almost like the screen background covers it.

  • Second Monitor seen as "VGA Display"

    Has anyone seen this before? I have a Mac Pro 1,1 with 2 nvidia 7300 GTs, and three Acer x193w displays connected using VGA to DVI adapters. Only one of the monitors is recognized as a "x193w" with the second and third seen as "VGA Displays". The primary monitor has the appropriate resolution listed (1440x900) but the second and third do not. All resolutions listed for the second and third displays cause them to be askew (a round circle appears oblong). I have tried booting OS X 10.5 with the same results. This is a new machine to me as well as being new to MAC so please forgive me if this has been discussed on this forum somewhere as I could not find it.

    Yes, adapters are the same, cables are the same, and monitors are the same. We have tried switching adapters and cables with no change. It appears that of the two video cards only one of the four heads sees the monitors for what they are. It does not matter which of the three monitors is connected to that port.

  • Nslookup: DNS request timed out. time out was 2 seconds. (When the primary DNS is down)

    Hi All,
    I have set up 2 Windows Server 2012 domain controllers (DCA & DCB). DCA points at DCB as the primary DNS, and itself as the alternate DNS. DCB points at DCA as the primary DNS, and itself as the alternate DNS.
    When both DCs are running and if I do an nslookup on DCA: The result is as follows:
    Default Server: dcb.testdomain.com
    Address: 30.30.30.2
    nslookup on DCB:
    Default Server: dca.testdomain.com
    Address: 30.30.30.1
    Client PC (Windows 7 Pro):
    1st DNS : 30.30.30.31
    Alternate DNS: 30.30.30.32
    nslookup on the client PC
    Default Server: dca.testdomain.com
    Address: 30.30.30.1
    Up to here everything is fine. Now if I turn off DCA, and do an nslookup, the result is as follows:
    DCB nslookup:
    DNS request timed out.
           time out was 2 seconds.
    Default Server Unknown
    Address: 30.30.30.31
    Client PC nslookup:
    DNS request timed out.
           time out was 2 seconds.
    Default Server Unknown
    Address: 30.30.30.31
    I waited for more than 15 minutes an tried again, it didn't help.
    I have been reading a few similar posts on this matter, but couldn't find the answer.
    I would  expected it to display the DCB when I do an nslookup.
    Question 1: Shouldn't that display DCB rather than displaying a time out message when I do nslookup?
    Question 2: The fact that it displays a time out message, does it mean that more configuration needs to be done? If so please kindly advice what needs to be done. 
    I did an ipconfig /displaydns command. I realized that the order of DNS have changed on both DCB and the Client PC:
    Now, they both display DCB on the top of the list, whereas they were displaying DCA on the top of the list prior to the shut down.
    Question 3: Does it mean that the Client PC now knows that the 1st DNS is down and so it's using the 2nd DNS?
    If so, why does the nslookup display the time out message?
    Question 4: Is it possible to configure either of DNS Server or the DNS client, so it displays the 2nd DNS when the first DNS is not accessible and when I do nslookup?
    Thank you for. 

    Hi Ton_2013,
    Based on my understanding, the issue we are experiencing is that: when the primary DNS server is down, the result of the tool Nslookup is to diaplay the time out message at first. Right?
    Based on my knowledge, timed out message is means that the server did not respond to a request after a certain amount of time and a certain number of retries. Because the primary DNS server is down, it can't respond to this request and time is out. When
    the primary DNS server can't respond, the secondary DNS server works to ensure effective work. And the order is changed as you said.
    As to the reason why the result is still the same even when the order has changed, we can try to use Network Monitor to capture network traffic and view and analyze it to find the cause. And the cause may be the cache. For your information, please refer
    to the following link to download the tool Network Monitor:

  • How do I use an external monitor as my only display?

    I have a MBP early 2011 with a thunderbolt to HDMI connector for a samsung LED monitor.  I want to use the samsung as my only monitor when I am at my desk at home.  I have an external keyboard/trackpad and would like a bigger workspace.  As we all know Lion and full screen apps take a lot of usefulness out of extra monitors, but I just want one larger external display.
    The display will work as a mirror, or an additional display, however it wont work by it self with the MBP closed.  It just stays on as a secondary display.
    Any and all help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    yeh you need at least an external mouse or keyboard connected to the mac when the lid is closed and mac is sleeping, then use it to wake the mac up. At this point it should use only the samsung monitor. So for example in the pic below im using bluetooth mouse and keyboard paired with my mac pro 17", i dont really need to let it sleep either, can just connect the monitor while the mac is on, then close the lid and the samsung will change from external monitor to primary monitor.
    hope this helps.

  • Airport doesn't work when using a second monitor

    My macbook pro, purchased mid-June, is exhibiting an odd problem. When nothing is plugged into the mini-displayport, everything is fine. If I plug my external monitor in, and the display is being mirrored, whether the lid is open or not, once again, everything works perfectly. Once I switch into extended display mode however, my wireless connection drops after a few minutes and refuses to reconnect.
    It is definitely not a signal issue. The second I unplug the monitor, my wireless connection returns to normal even if I don't move the computer an inch.

    Hello,
    I have the exact same issue: whenever I am using my external display, my wireless connection with airport immediately stops. Same June 2009 macbook pro for me as well.
    If I go down to the lowest resolution (640x480), I can get it to connect. The moment I unplug the external display, the wireless connection with airport is re-established.
    This problem has been reported on the apple discussions forums by a few people. Someone mentioned that it could be electrical cross-talk between the graphics card and wireless card internally, one causing noise for the other.
    Anyone have a solution? Or have the same problem?
