Using Powerbook screen as 2nd monitor

Does anyone know if it's possible to hook up a Powerbook to a desktop G5 to use the Powerbook's monitor as a 2nd display for the G5?

Nope. Can't do it.

  • Can't run flash player in full screen on 2nd monitor

    Hi all! I have a laptop with dual video displays. The main
    display is the laptop's LCD and the 2nd display is a 19" LCD
    connected via VGA cable. I want to let a Flash movie loop endlessly
    on the second monitor while I continue to work on the laptop. When
    I drag Flash Player 8 over to the 2nd monitor and start the movie,
    I can hit maxmize and it will take up the entire 2nd montior as it
    should...with the file options and boarder around as expected. I
    then hit Ctrl-F to go full screen and it snaps directly to the
    laptop's primary monitor. I tried it at work where my desktop has 2
    displays and the same thing happens. I need to force Flash player
    to run full screen on the 2nd monitor and cannot find a way to
    accomplish this. Any help is appreciated because it's driving me
    nuts. I can always make the external monitor my primary but then
    the start button and all my icons move there too and that is not
    acceptable. Thanx!

    Seriously? No one has any thoughts about this? I can't
    believe I would be the first to come across this issue.

  • Use iPad as a 2nd monitor or graphics tablet with Photoshop/Wacom Bamboo Pen?

    Can iPad be used as a 2nd monitor or graphics tablet with Photoshop/Wacom Bamboo Pen tablet?
    I called Wacom as asked this question but the guy was clueless, and I'm sure they'd rather have you spend $1000 on their Cintiq instead of $29.95 on a Pen.... I figure I'll get more use out of an iPad and save around $400...
    Or maybe this is jsut a far fetched idea...

    Hiya
    I am not quite sure of how this product works, but it might be wortha try:

  • Using Laptop screen as second monitor?

    Hey gusy,
    I have a Mac Pro and a MacBook Pro.  With the Mac Pro I have just the one screen - used to have two, but now just the one as I rarely need it.  However, for a job I'm doing at the moment, it would be handy to have the use of two screens.  Do you know if it's possible to hook both computers up and use the LapTop screen as a second monitor for my Mac Pro?

    Then it seems you can't use your LapTop as a second monitor for Mac Pro.
    An external monitor would seem to be the least cost path to more display.

  • Using a MacBook as 2nd monitor for iMac?

    Hi. Got a shiny new 20" iMac with the 256MB graphics. I understand this unit can drive an external display without too much stress via the mini-DVI out. Question is, since the household is getting a Macbook soon anyways, and I'll only occasionally need a 2nd-display, is there a way to use the Macbook as a second 'dumb' monitor, simply displaying whatever is being fed to it by the iMac?
    Thanks!

    Hi Duckman54: Congrats on the new Mac(s), but unfortunately the MacBook has no video input capability. You can however use another 20" monitor with the iMac.

  • Yellow Screen on 2nd Monitor

    I have a MacPro 2.66 Dual with the nvidia 7300 and when I have both monitors pluged in, one of them has a yellow tint.
    I have tried both monitors on each side but the problem stays the same.
    I have tried reinstalling the OS and that does not work either.
    Any ideas ?
    Thanks

    Hello dj,
    I just set up my monitor a couple days ago (for my new Mac Pro - 10.4.9) and the first thing I did (always do) is to go to Preferences, select "Displays" and find the option to calibrate.
    The calibration process takes you step by step. At one point you will be given the option of selecting which white point to use. You will notice: one option is for "graphics work" and THAT selection will produce a 'warm yellow tint' on your monitor (right away!). If you find your calibration is set for graphics work, just select one of the other options (included is one for the "native" white point set at the factory).
    This native Apple calibrator is pretty good - and I work with photographs and PhotoShop all the time. Have never needed to use Spyder or any other calibration method on my Mac.
    Hope that solves you problem.

  • New iMac and using old G5 as 2nd monitor?

    Hey y'all.
    About to get either a new 21.5" or 27" iMac, and would like to know would I be able to connect them to my old G5 iMac? I'd like to use my g5 as a second monitor or for spanning to increase my desktop space. Is this possible with the G5? It's the 2ghz g5 iMac, the last one they made before switching to intel(Doh! Bad timing on my part. Lol).
    Anyway...thanks for any advice or comment.
    Cheers.

    Hi iregan,
    a direct connection is not possible since only the 27" iMac has a video-in port and your G5 iMac has not.
    Have a look (and maybe test-drive) at ScreenRecycler http://www.screenrecycler.com/ScreenRecycler.html as a possible solution.
    Regards

  • Dual monitors on the ATI Radeon 9600 XT  black screen on 2nd monitor

    i have problem on second monitor , it always turn black during my work, and in a second it turn back to work well again, about 20-30 minutes a time .
    can anyone here give me some help ? it really make me go crazy....
    Thanks!

    The one connected to the ADC no problme.

    LOGIC CAT-
    My guess is either a bad cable or bad adapter on the second monitor. Try switching the monitors and see if the problem follows the monitor.

  • I have an Apple Powerbook G4, and my monitor doesn't function. I have an external display Monitor, however it's stuck in extended screen mode. How do I get it to mirror or duplicate the display without use of the on-board?

    As i had said, I have an Apple Powerbook G4, and my monitor doesn't function. I have an external display Monitor, however it's stuck in extended screen mode. How do I get it to mirror or duplicate the display without use of the on-board? Is there a Fn key combo i'm missing or is the issue more serious then i realize? any and all help and hints would be greatly apprichiated, thanks in advance.
    -Powerbook User

    The PowerBooks have an F-key that toggles mirrored and extended mode. My PB is loaned out right now but I think it was f7. The keycap has an icon on two overlapping rectangles, as I recall.
    EDIT: Yes! Found a pdf of the PB manual it shows F7 is the toggle:

  • I dropped my macbook pro and the screen is broken can i still use it with an external monitor? Or can I or how do I transfer hard drive files to my mac mini?

    I dropped my 17" macbook pro and the screen is broken. Can I still use it with an external monitor? When I plugged it into a monitor I had used it with before, I'm not able to see anything on the macbook screen to control it. It came on but I just got the blue screen with nothing else after typing in my password. (Didn't see the password form just assumed it was there somewhere and it did go from space to blue screen but no desktop icons, files, dock strip at top or anything else, just blank blue screen) so I can't access the system preferences.
    Or can I / or how do I, transfer hard drive files to my mac mini? If not salvageable as is can I pull out the hard drive and make it an external harddrive? In otherwords is anything salvageable? It seems it's coming on I just can't access anything. BTW I was told it would cost aprox $1000 to replace the screen! I paid almost $4000 for this thing and it was running great - makes me sick to lose it!

    I'd like to promise you that everything will be fine if you just get the monitor going - but it's hard to know what the hardware damage might be. It might be the monitor, or the damage might be greater.
    Your best solution would be visit your local Apple Store and let them know what your situation is. They have access to diagnostics you don't, and they might be able to the best way to save your data and keep you computing. It's still not covered, but they can tell you what your current options are.
    Um, you might consider investing in a backup drive.
    And there other repair options, too. Powerbook Medic http://www.powerbookmedic.com/xcart1/pages.php?pageid=67 offers reliable repairs, and quotes prices well under Apple's.

  • 2nd monitor not using all available pixels

    So am I the only one having this issue? -
    I have a Mac Mini that is running Windows 7 in bootcamp.  I have 2 monitors.  My 2nd monitor is connected with an HDMI to DVI cable.  In Windows, the whole screen of both monitors is used (edge to edge, top  to bottom).  But when I switch over to Yosemite, my second monitor has about a 1 inch bar of black on both sides and a 1/2 inch bar along the top and the bottom.  This is literally unused space.
    I've talked to Apple Support several times but they don't seem to have an answer.  I get transferred to someone but each time I get cut off.  (so I gave up trying to fix this over the phone or on line chat).  There are no features or selections in the Syncmaster to adjust this.  Why does it work perfectly fine in Windows but not when I switch over to Yosemite.
    Maybe this doesn't seem like a big deal but it's so frustrating that I'm actually finding myself not wanting to use the Yosemite side.
    Does anybody have a solutio

  • How Do I Add 2nd Monitor using AppleTV?

    I use a mid - 2012 Mac Pro; run Mavericks MacOS X 10.9.5. 
    1. I would like to know how to connect my SONY TV as a second monitor wirelessly using AppleTV.
    2. Once 2nd monitor is connected:
    3. What do I do to use the cursor and keyboard on the 2nd monitor?
    4. How do I reply to an answered question for more info, or to thank someone?

    Hey again Angel,
    It is the latter:
    If your Mac supports AirPlay Mirroring, an AirPlay Mirroring status icon appears in the menu bar when an Apple TV is on the same network as your Mac.
    OS X Mavericks: Wirelessly mirror your Mac screen to your HDTV
    https://support.apple.com/kb/PH14375
    So the AirPlay icon will only be seen on your Mac when an Apple TV is present on the same network as your Mac. You may also be interested in more information about AirPlay, which can be found here:

  • Screen resolution of 2nd monitor

    Dear all,
    i am working on an application which uses 2 monitors.
    i have a VI which measures the screen resolution of the screen.
    i want to know the screen resolution of the 2nd monitor.
    how can i get that ?
    thanks,
    ritesh
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You could use an app property node, set to display -> AllMonitors. Index this with an array and unbundle the result. This will give info on the bounds of the screen. By subtracting left from right and top from bottom,. you can get the size of the screen.
    - Cheers, Ed

  • Using 2 monitors. I can't get my Layers Pallet to move to the 2nd monitor

    I'm using 2 monitors. I can't get my Layers Pallet to move to the 2nd monitor screen. It is simply locked to the right side of my 1st monitor. A solution would be great. Sorry if it's a noob question.
    Thanks for your time.
    Monty

    No problem. We've all had newbie questions at one time or another.
    However, I am going to have to put on my clairvoyant hat and guess you are running Photoshop 10.0.1 (CS3). :/
    In CS3, do NOT attempt to move the palette well, i.e. the dark gray zone above the palettes. That you cannot move.
    Instead, grab each palette individually by the light gray bar just at the top of each palette.
