Using only the second display...
Is it possible to only use a second display connected to the dvi, while disabling the main display on the laptop?
Not true brother. Simply open back up the screen once you have established the connection with your external monitor and its native resolutions, and BINGO you can us the keyboard to type and the laptop screen will not turn on. In fact you can use all of the functiions of the laptop without the laptop screen truning on. Try it.

23" Cinema Display: Can't disable MacBook display to use only the cinema?
Hi,
I just bought a 23" cinema display with the intention of using it exclusively while I use a wireless keyboard and just keep my MacBook closed. I notice that when I set the display preferences to "mirror," the quality of the cinema display reduces greatly, since it's only able to be set at the maximum display resolution allowed for the MacBook when mirroring. This seems to defeat the purpose of having the cinema display. So, I guess I have several questions:
1. Can I close the MacBook without it going to sleep?
2. Can I make the cinema display the primary display (with application menus, etc.)?
3. Can I disable the MaBook display and use only the cinema display?
Thanks,
Stew1. Can I close the MacBook without it going to sleep?
No, but if the power adapter is connected, you can wake it with the external keyboard or mouse (make sure wake-up is enabled in the Bluetooth system preference), and it will continue to run with the lid closed.
2. Can I make the cinema display the primary display (with application menus, etc.)?
Yes. In the "Arrangement" pane of "Displays" system preference, turn off mirroring and drag the picture of the menu bar to the picture f the external display.
3. Can I disable the MaBook display and use only the cinema display?
Yes. Close the lid. -
How to use the second display for installation OS in my vertical lines iMac
My 17" iMac display is full of vertical lines, it is unuseable. Does anyone know how to use the second display for Mac OS X or disable the first display for installation Mac OS x ?
Go to: *System Preferences > Displays* and select the Arrangement tab, then relocate your Menu bar by dragging it to the other display.
Unfortunately there is no Hardware or Software switch to turn off the iMac's Internal Display. -

Hi Jon,
Try placing your curser in the middle and click on that page a few times. Often this will make it available for editing.
Let me know if that works!

Can't use only the external monitor, leaving macbook open on Lion
HW
macbook pro 15-inch, Early 2011
external samsung monitor, attached using HDMI to Thunderbolth adaptor
Previous Situation
With Snow Leopard I was able to keep the macbook screen open but turned off and use only the external monitor. This way I was able to use the front camera to make conference having everything only in the external monitor.
Current Situation
With Lion as soon as I open the macbook monitor the image splits between the two monitors and I'm not able to set the extenal one as only one.Support today quoted Apple's engineers as saying it is "expected behaviour" under Lion for the MBP's internal display to reactivate upon opening the lid, even if you want to use only your external display. A new version of the clamshell mode-related knowledgebase article (replacing HT3131) is due shortly confirming this.
This is despite:
- the obvious temperature-related benefits that were achievable (under Snow Leopard) by opening your MBP lid whilst continuing to output solely to, say, a 27" cinema display
- potential wifi connectivity benefits of having the lid open
- the waste of energy and inefficient use of graphics processing power in needlessly running two active screens (ie if running your MBP in clamshell mode would otherwise make it too hot and/or noisy or you need it open for wifi)
- the negative longer-term impact on the battery and other components from running the MBP any hotter than it needs to be.
To have any hope of getting the previous behaviour back, we need to lobby Apple to change how Lion handles clamshell mode. Options available to them include changing Lion's expected behaviour or adding a user-selectable option within System Preferences.
If you haven't already submitted feedback, please do so below. Now the situation has been clarified as intentional, user feedback has become all the more important.

How can I select properties from dropdown lists using only the keyboard?
Hi,
I am using SAP Netweaver Studio and when modifying UI elements in views, I want to select the value for a property from the corresponding dropdown list in the Properties view using only the keyboard.
When a property row is selected, "Enter" toggles to Edit mode, Alt+ArrowDown expands the list, but ArrowUp or ArrowDown directly selects the previous/next item list and changes to Selected mode. Which key is used to navigate between the list items without selecting them immediately?
Thanks a lot. I deal with lots of views and this would save me quite a few massage hours

How can i order more copies of a iPhoto book using only the order number
how can i order more copies of an iPhoto book I made
by using only the order number
as I deleted by mistake a copy of it on my iphotoI know the horse is out of the barn but this tutorial might be of help for future books: iP12 - Archiving an iPhoto 9 (11) Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date.
If you're starting over from scratch with a book I suggest you create a new library just for that book. Put the photos you want in the book in an album in your current library and use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to copy that album into the book library.
This will keep the book library small for easy saving to CD or DVD or to an EHD. If you delete photos from your full library it won't affect the book library.

My elderly mother has EXTREMELY limited vision and is a technophobe. I am considering an iPhone with Siri. Can I turn off everything else so she can use only the phone app and voice dialing or Siri and not accidentally open any other app and screw something up.
I'm asking, in all seriousness, why do you think your mother needs an iPhone? Honestly, if your mother is, as you described her, a technophobe, I would recommend against getting an iPhone or any other smartphone. I've spent a fair bit of time teaching older folks to use smartphones. If they are interested in learning, it's fine. If they have the phone because their kids or grandkids thought it was a good idea but they are afraid of the phone or not interested in its features, it doesn't go well at all.
Many basic phones have voice dialing. Obviously, it doesn't do all the things Siri does but it may be much less intimidating for your mom. Also, basic phones have hardware keys. Even someone with limited vision can learn the keyboard on such a phone. From the sound of your first post, all she will be doing is making phone calls.
Best of luck. -
