With 2 monitors, can I swap the primary and secondary screen?

In other words, I have 2 different sized monitors, one running from ADC, the other DVI, but it is defaulting to using the smaller screen as the primary one which I don't want. I can't swap the leads round because I can't convert ADC to VGA so i need to do it inside of OS X. Is this possible? Cheers

Open up the Displays System Preference and drag the screens to the proper place in order to change the screens around.

iPads are not Carrier locked and as long as you are happy with a 3G signal
you can buy a PAYG data sim in many countries

ITunes U course published but I can't see my school in the Primary and Secondary Schools list

I don't know how to contact the responsable of the iTunes U administration to send an email and change the name of my school.
I want to change Villaviciosa De Odón - Colegio Pax-Casvi into "Eurocolegio Casvi". Anyway, even my organization has been approved for courses publishing, I can't find the name of my school at the list of iTunes U "Primary and Secondary" schools.
If I go to https://itunesu.itunes.apple.com/audit/633264363, the course is in the iTunes U.

Can I swap the Function and Control keys?

Is it possible to swap the Function and Control keys?

With limitations; yes. Go to System Preferences and select Keyboards & Mouse and add your choices. Keep in mind that such chances will affect all well intended Apple commands and may end up driving you crazy!

Can't burn imovie with idvd & can't keep the audio and video clips to ancho

Two questions:
I've been working on a series of short digital stories in iMovie and have been trying to put them on a dvd. Using iDVD wasn't successful. Couldn't get them loaded into the map on the DVD theme page. So I dragged finally gave up and dragged the iMovie filesinto the DVD icon on my desktop and burned them. But now I have to drag the iMovie file from the DVD onto the harddrive before I play them.
I would like to have all of the short movies in one DVD.
I would also like to have one longer iMovie file but I'm having a devil of a time making all of the files, audio, video, photo, etc. stay in place while I'm working on each section. Perhaps this isn't feasible?
With thanks for any help you can give me. I'm a novice at this program but enjoying the challenge.

Were you dragging the project file into the right place? Try a simple theme like the Portfolio Colour theme under the iDVD3 collection. By the way, the simple thing first, I hope you were using iDVD5 not iDVD4.
There can also be problems if the iMovie projects were created in iMovie4 and converted to iMovieHD. If this is the case load each one again. Make some simple change, undo if you wish, then save again.
In any case try using file > Import and note what happens. I think this (old fashioned) way is easier than gragging in the projects. You can tidy them up later.

Is it possible to set primary and secondary display with 2 graphics cards?

I have an Early 2008 Mac Pro with two graphics cards and four monitors installed. Does anyone know how the computer (or more specifically Keynote) determines which is the primary display and which is the secondary?
Also is there any way to change the scheme?
What I am trying to do is switch the primary and secondary from the two monitors in my office to the monitor at the podium (would like it to become primary) and a vga projector (would like it to become secondary)
I bought the second graphics card so I wouldn't have to switch the cables back and forth three times a week. All the monitors work fine, it's just a matter of determining or changing primary/secondary
Thanks in advance

Thanks Malcolm
I got that far – The keynote manual says that the display with the menu bar is the primary display – that works out fine. The problem is that the manual says that the display without the menu bar is the secondary (or alternate). But there are three displays without the menu bar.
What I would like to find out is: is there a way to choose the display without the menu bar to be the alternate?
When I try various combinations, there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to which display is the alternate.
Thanks again for your response!

Windows 8.1 screen bounces between primary and secondary monitors

I have a Lenovo T530 laptop with a docking station and a IBM monitor L200P attached to it.
Up until yesterday, this configuration was running Windows 8 Pro with no issues.
However today, after I installed the Windows 8.1 upgrade, I started having problems with the screen bouncing between the primary and secondary monitors without my intervention. The problem happens very regularly, regardless of whether I have selected the laptop as primary monitor or the IBM monitor attached to the docking station.
I verified that the problem does not happen with Windows 7 and Windows 8 installation and only starts appearing after the Windows 8.1 upgrade is applied.
Does anybody have similar problems
Thank you in advance.

<blockquote>
another thing you could try is this: enter '''about:config''' into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''layout.css.devPixelsPerPx'''.
double-click it and change its value to '''1.2''' (or any other zoom factor that fits your purpose: 1.0 relates to 100%, 1.2 equals 120% and so on; -1.0 is the default value and will adhere to the system settings).
</blockquote>
Okay, I tried it, set it to 1.2 and even more stuff got blurry and fuzzy. Besides everything in the FF menu bar everything in the header on youtube and a few other pages did it too. It did make the pages fill the actual page better, but the blur is worse than this prob so I set it back to -1.0.
Any other ideas?

My phone and number is on another persons account. If I start my own account, can I transfer the phone and number to it? If so, what steps do I need to take to do this?

My phone and phone number are on another persons account. If I open my own account with Verizon, can I transfer the phone and number to it? What steps do I need to take to accomplish this?

I've done this before. First, I had the current acct owner call in and say it's okay for me to assume liability on the line. Next, I called in and explained that the owner already called and gave permission for me to assume the line. Notes were on the account. I was transferred to the assumption of liability dept, I accepted the terms and conditions and we were good to go. The old owner will get a final bill up until the point of transfer and you will get a new bill starting at the point of transfer.

Magic Mouse Primary and Secondary Clicks Switched

Recently I picked up a Magic Mouse and have since found some very strange things that I don't know how to fix:
The primary and secondary clicks are switched. As in, under mouse settings when I select the secondary click to be on the right, only the primary click works on the right side and everything else is a secondary click. It is also very annoying because every time I have more than one finger touching the surface it counts as a secondary click. If anyone knows how to fix this I would really appreciate feedback.
I looked around in settings and couldn't find anything regarding this matter. I fiddled with some stuff but never got it working properly.
Feedback much appreciated!
--Justin

Looking at another thread in this forum, I see some people who had older apple mice installed before the magic mouse are having this problem with the magic mouse.
I had an older wireless mouse that would take right-clicks before I set up the magic mouse. Unfortunately when I connect the older wireless mouse I can no longer access it's preferences. It only gives me the preferences a generic one button mouse. Somewhere there must be some set of files I can delete and it will forget this old mouse.
I am pretty disheartened after a week of this. One of the benefits to a mac is that I shouldn't have to dig around removing drivers and such

P965 Neo-f - primary and secondary ide channel stops working after changing gpu

I just changed my graphic card from 4850 to 4870x2 and then my idd devices stopped working, and when I look in device manager the primary and secondary ide channel has a yellow exclamationmark over them. And the error msg is as follow: This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)
And when I look on the tab resources the two I\O range tabs have a red cross like over them probably meaning there is something wrong. And in the column Conflicting devies list: Input/Output Range 01F0 - 01F7 not available.
Input/Output Range 03F6 - 03F6 not available.
What I have tried so far:
Updating the bios, looking for I\o range crashes and irq crashes, uinstalling and reintalling severals times. And when I change back to my old 4850 card the problems disappears straight away.
Any ideas?

Well reality says something different :D
And a reinstall fixed the problem. I find this post very amusing.
Ill bet your graphics doesnt even use its full potential on that board.
Me thinks it severly limited by the board and the cpu and imo a waste of a good graphicscard/money.
Its better to use only 2 slots of mem because of the strain you put on your memorycontroller when using 4 slots.
When running " double dualchannel" the memorycontroller can be overflooded when running too high mem.speeds, with errors and BSOD and crashes as a result.

Set Primary and Secondary Interfaces

How can I set up primary and secondary network interfaces, so that it will automatically fallback to the second interface when I don't have the primary connected? I tether my phone to T-Mobile's network, but when I don't have it connected it want it to fall back to my wired connection.

Sorry, I only bump my own posts when I've added additional information to my last post and I see that no one has added anything to it in the past few days. I guess I would be better to create a new post instead of editing the old one.
I did give it a try and I have no real results to share. I created the two profiles in the /etc/netctl directory and named them as above (including Priority=1 for the tmobile connection and Priority=2 for the wired connection, as stated in the wiki entry even though man netfcfg.profile says it's only for wireless connections), then I enabled the service. There is the word "interface" after systemctl enable netctl-ifplugd@ which makes me think I should specify an interface but I have no idea which one to specify, so I just enabled it without it and it didn't complain. There's no way to start it. Both connections are enabled but it seems to default to the wired connection for some reason, when I want it to default to the tmobile connection and then fall back to the wired connection. Both are enabled and have IP addresses but nothing changes when I connect or disconnect my mobile data connection since it's using the wired connection.
edit: I just tried to enable the service using the interface name of my mobile data connection and it didn't change anything ex. sudo systemctl enable netctl-ifplugd@enp0s26f7u3

Can't use Find My Friends on iPhone due to Apple ID not being verified. Can't do this as I can't access my .mac email any longer and I can not change the primary e-mail address for my Apple ID!

Can't use Find My Friends on iPhone due to Apple ID not being verified.
Can't do this as I can't access my .mac email any longer and I can not change the primary e-mail address for my Apple ID!
So my options are:
Create a new Apple ID, use that and lose all the apps I've purhcased with it (a fairly substantial amount)
Somehow Migrate these purchases over to a new Apple ID
Apple let me change the primary ID for the account
Anyone else ran into this before?
I've tried accessing the mail through a mail application using the correct server information, and trying both the old 6 character password and the one I had to change it too after they updated the security guidelines - neither work.
Help would be greatly appreciated as I can see more services down the line not working without the address being verified!

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You should not need to verify the old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

How can I designate the primary monitor?

I have a three monitor setup. The center monitor has always been designated as the main monitor (has the Finder bar on it). Since I've upgraded to Mavericks, the left monitor seems to be the primary, despite the settings in the Display control panel remaining the same.
Yes, the Finder bar is now on all screens (which is great!), but when I Command-Tab to cycle through open applications, those icons appear on the left hand screen. Or when I open system preferences, even if the center monitor has focus, the pref open on the left hand screen.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
/david

Oddly this is a buggy bug (as I see it) with Mavs.
a work around, at this point, is to get the dock to appear in the monitor you wish to be the "main" one.
In reality, there is no main one anymore, unless you count login screen.
I digress.
anyway, you need to get the dock to appear in the monitor you wish to be the main one. I get the dock to appear by moving my cursor to the bottom of the screen and then moving it down once it's at the bottom of the display.

My external hard drive is 'seen' by my iMac and I can go into the Finder and open files and folders. I am using the hard drive for Time Machine back up. However Time Machine says it can't find the drive. Same thing has happened with Final Cut Express.

My new LaCie external hard drive is 'seen' by my iMac and I can go into the Finder and open files and folders. I am using the hard drive for Time Machine back up. However Time Machine says it can't find the drive.
The same thing happened recently between Final Cut Express and my other LaCie external hard drive used as the Scratch disk. It fixed itself.
I've run out of ideas. Help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

have you done some searches on FCPx and time machine? Is there a known issue with using a TM drive with FCPx? dunno but ...wait...I'll take 60 sec for you cause I'm just that kind of guy.... google...." fcpx time machine problem" Frist page link
