X11 on Leopard not working with two screens.

I have two screens on my Mac Pro and just upgraded to Leopard. X11 starts up on the main screen and any new X11 windows start up on that screen, which is fine, but then the window can not be moved to the other screen.
The window will overhang onto the second screen, but as you drag it over the window stops moving at the point that the mouse cursor reaches the edge of the main screen. The mouse cursor keeps going but the window stops.
Even if you then click on the portion of the window that is on the second screen, you can not then drag it the rest of the way into the second screen.
In Panther and Tiger I was able to move windows to the second screen.

I have also found that X11 does not work with 2 or more screens. I can not drag an X-Window to the 2nd screen at work (well maybe a few pixels onto the 2nd screen, that is all).
And I can not use the -geometry option on X-Windows based applications to position an X-Window onto the 2nd screen, it always ends up on the screen with the Menu Bar.
And this worked so wonderfully on Panther and Tiger.
I use my PowerMac G5 with dual 18" monitors at work. I develop kernel level software for Linux and Windows. I'm using X11 all day long when working with Linux systems both local and 2000 miles away (work has some nice in house bandwidth).
Being restricted to just a single monitor is a major limitation for my job. Having Mac OS X X11 support made it practical for me to use my Mac at work. Otherwise, I would have been forced to use a Windows box.

I have recently installed Mavericks and since then I have been unable to shut down or log out of my mac. I work with two screens and now I seem to have programmes at the top of both screens which I didn't before. any advice?

I have recently installed Mavericks on my desk top and since then I have been unable to switch off my computer without crashing it. I work with two screen and now I seem to have the menu bar on the second screen as well which I did not have before. Can you please help me?

Dr Bettina, I had similar problems with Mavericks. I installed it on a Mini and a 13" MacBook Pro. I can't speak to your disdplay issues, but I can confirm the inability to logout, shut down, or restarft without a forced, power button shut down. I can also report frequent System Prefs freezes and finder issues, like folder contents taking half a minuite or more to render, or not appearing at all. And while a few Adobe CC apps actually ran faster, InDesign ran like molasses uphill in Decemner.
I tried uninstalling or disabling numerous 3rd party apps and pref panes. I unplugged everything but the keyboard, ran DiskWarrier, repaired permissions, did fsck -f, trashed various preference files, reinstalled the OS... You name it, and I tried it — short of a potion using eye of newt.
After two days of totally hosed productivity, I restored OS 10.8.5 on the Mini so I could actually get some work done. However, I've decided to leave Mavericks on the MBP as a sort of crash dummy, and will install and thoroughly test all updates until stability has been achieved. Then — and only then — will I upgrade the Mini to Mavericks, even if it means waiting 'til a .2 or even .3 update.
Good luck to you...

Sleep not working with external screen in clamshell mode

I have my macbook with Lion operating in clamshell mode with an external display connected as the main screen.
Although I have set the computer to sleep after 10mins, this never happens and I have to sleep the computer manually every time.
If I disconnect the external display, or open my Mac and work with both screens, the computer does sleep properly after the set time.
I can't seem to find the fix anywhere, and the people in the mac store couldn't help me either.
Can anyone help please?
Thx,

K9NGM not working with two sticks of RAM

Hi
I've not posted on here before.
I have recently built my own system - for details see below.
It has been working fine with dual boot into XP and Vista (Vista only installed after updating the BIOS to BOSSKILLER's version 3.23)
I have bought an extra stick of RAM and made sure it is exactly the same as my current stick.
I cannot get my system to work with both RAM sticks installed.
When booting into XP with the 2nd stick installed, the PC randomly freezes. Sometimes with a beep coming from the internal speaker.
The mouse and screen and keyboard just stop. This can happen at any time - but always within a few minutes of starting up.
If I try with Vista then it won't even boot. I can go into safe mode, but the last thing it does is load crcdisk.sys. Nothing at all happens after that.
I can use both OS's fine with just one stick of RAM installed. I have tried with both sticks independantly and both seem to be OK. I have also used memtest.org and all the tests complete with no errors.
I have checked the motherboard manual and can confirm that the two sticks are correctly installed in dual channel mode.
I have read elsewhere that adjusting the voltage settings of the memory in the BIOS could help, but there is no option for doing this in this BIOS version.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
JP

Just an update to say that I have it all working now.
I did loads of memory tests etc.
Both memory sticks showed up no problems with the tests.
I eventually managed to find an update to the BIOS to version 3.3 and it's all working wonderfully now.
Boots into Vista and XP with both sticks installed - running Dual Channel no probs.

nice, thanks for feeback

Datasocket does not work with two network cards

If I have two ethernet card in a PC. The Datasocket server does not work if the second card is enabled. It keeps displaying resolving IP Address. I am wondering if there is a solution for this problem.
Thanks

Thanks for you reply. One card has a static address(10.20.35.1), which is used for Data socket, and the other card uses a dynamic IP address. The card with dynamic address is only used for connecting the PC to the company’s network.
The second card, when turned on causes the Datasocket server problem. In the Datasocket Server manager I have only two IP addresses under Permissions Groups. (10.20.35.1 and 10.20.35.11. 10.20.35.11 is the IP address of the remote PC with labview application. The Datasocket is used to transfer data between the two PC’s)
I am wondering if my set up for hosts in Datasocket Server manager is not correct.

Visual Studio 2013 Community Azure Login Not Working with Two-factor Authentication

Has anybody had any problems logging in to Azure to publish when using Visual Studio 2013 Community and with two-factor authentication turned on?
I couldn't log on until I turned off two-factor authentication.
Regards

Hello John,
Thanks for posting here!
You can try and set a credential helper like
git-credential-winstore in order to cache your credentials. See if that helps.
Couple of questions here:
1) Are you using a MSA account by any chance?
2) When you turn on two-factor authentication, do you get any error message?
3) Did you try with different browsers?
Looking forward to your response!

Leopard not working with HP Scanner/Printer after upgrading from Tiger?

Anyone had a similar issue: I can not longer scan things with my HP All in one since the upgrade to Leopard. Is this a coincidence or is there a problem I need to fix. Grateful for any helpful advise, Floor

Unfortunately HP is slow in updating software for Leopard compatibility. If you search this forum you will find some solutions for your problem.
First, check HP's website for the latest software.
I believe that uninstalling your current HP software and either reinstalling it or installing more recent software usually solves the problem.
There was also an issue with Canon scanners.
Here are a few links to look at:

"Edit this Bookmark" not working with two separate "bugs" in 8.1 and 10041 partitions (Nightly). FF x86 ( on Vista) works correctly.

An older bug is when I try to create a new folder; the currently selected folder becomes "edit mode"(highlighted) instead of creating a "New folder" in edit mode. Clip 1.
The newer bug is when I select a folder in which to place the desired shortcut; after [Done] the shortcut stays in [Unsorted Bookmarks]
Clips 2-5 in order.
This has been happening for about 3 days now and persists through nightly updates. Currently 40.0a1 (2015-04-26)

There is always the possibility that things are broken with Nightly alpha 1 builds.
It can take some time before those regressions are fixed, but that is the risk you run.

Mac Mini not displaying on two screens - was fine, but now it is not!

Hello,
At my work we have a Mac Mini running Keynote with videos and various slides looping round, displaying on a LG 42" LCD screen in our display window. On the other side of the window - the bit the public does not see - is a monitor to start the presentations and run the computer.
This was working fine, running both screens simultaneously. However recently, it had to be turned off to carry out some work in the display area, and a few days later upon setting it up again its not working with both screens.
The mini boots up and will run fine @ 1024 x 768 60hz on the inside monitor. This is connected to the mini DVI port, with a DVI to VGA adapter. However, when I plug in the LG 42" LCD at the same time (Connected via the mini display port, to an HDMI connector/adapter, the monitor will change to display an "out of range" message, while the LG will display as normal.
I really need both screens running simultaneously as they were before! Nothing has changed in the setup and both screens will run fine by themselves, so I know that they are functioning correctly.
Any suggestions are much appreciated!
Any thoughts

It sounds like perhaps the displays got set to mirror mode somehow. This means both displays are trying to display the same thing instead of working independently as you want them to.
Which screen is set to primary, e.g. which one shows the menu bar when both are active? Are you able to get into Displays preferences and make changes? If so, I would check the mirror setting.
Something else that may be worth trying is to start the mini in Safe mode with both displays connected. Hopefully the result will be useable screens on both displays. If so, go into Displays preferences and set the respective displays to the desired setting and restart normally. The selections made under Safe mode should persist through a normal restart.

I work on two screens. With the new updates, my computer will not automatically open a new window on the second screen.

I work on two screens. With the new updates we cannot automatically open a new window on the second screen, but have to move them over manually. Not a huge problem, but because of the nature of the work, it gets tedious.

Hi Annowriter,
Thank you for your question, I understand that it is annoying to have to move a new window to the second screen. Since it opens in the active screen this may have been a stored preference, however it is not the default.
There is an add on called [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/monitor-master/ Monitor Master] that customizes settings like this. Check it out.

Two-finger pinch zoom not working with safari

Suddenly, the two-finger pinch to zoom is not working with Safari. MBP 13", SL 10.6.8 andf Safari 5.1. The View Menu Zoom control works fine, and the Pinch gesture works once thereafter, but then not. I have reloaded the Safari .plist. Gesture works with the Desktop icons and iPhoto. Any suggestions?
TIA

Ditto with the Newsstand-blocks-the-Home-Screen bug.
I was eager to see the revised New York Times layout and disappointed when Newsstand wouldn't pinch closed.
The irony is, we can finally "hide" the Newsstand in a folder but now it takes over our Home Screens. I'm hoping this will be fixed in the first update.

M-Audio MIDISPORT UNO USB Not Working With Snow Leopard

My Snow Leopard installation worked fine except until I plugged in my MacBook to my Casio Privia with the M=Audio MIDISPORT UNO USB cable to run GarageBand. I'm getting a MIDI error which states it can't work with the latest operating system. It doesn't surprise me though for all the software and hardware driver updates that have to catch up to such a new OSX 10.6. I went to the M-Audio site to download the latest driver, but the drivers only were compatible with OSX10.5.8.
This is an alert at the site
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Support Coming Soon
Avid/M-Audio working closely with Apple to offer support for OS X 10.6
Avid/M-Audio is pleased to hear that Apple has released Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. We’ve been working closely with Apple to bring Snow Leopard support to the M-Audio® product line, as well as the Pro Tools® product line and extended product families. We ask that all existing Mac users please wait to upgrade until we officially announce Snow Leopard support. Stay tuned for more information in the coming weeks.
This is a bit of a concern, because I need to get GarageBand running again with the MIDI hook ups. Is there a work around anyone knows about to get MIDI working with Snow Leopard.
Thanks Steve

I ran into a similar problem. I discovered one thing which may help you out though. It works OK with my Yamaha P200 keyboard but it does not work with my Yamaha NP30 keyboard. I looked at the MIDI stream and the only difference seems to be that the NP30 sends a continuous stream of MIDI clock, whereas the P200 does not. My theory is that this clock stream is somehow confusing the driver. I can't seem to disable the MIDI clock on my NP30 but if your Privia has the ability to disable MIDI clock, then it may be worth a try as it will probably fix the problem until they come out with the proper drivers.

Look, you can build an HD DVD with an SD movie, just as you can build an SD DVD with an HD movie. This is not a bug, it is most likely user error. Apple will not be addressing it.
Just start over, and ensure you are building an SD DVD by bringing up the inspector for the disc (click on the background in the Graphical tab).
Make sure SD DVD is selected:
(If you do the same thing on your ill fated project, you'll see that HD DVD is selected)
Build your DVD and you'll be fine.
Patrick
P.S. You will need to google HD DVD and Blu-Ray if you want to understand the difference between the formats. The reason that DVDSP included HD DVD was that its format was similar to SD DVD's. Blu-Ray is something else entirely.
