Muddling Through

Some odd things that aren't earth shaking, but strange. Set up second monitor on Mac Pro for Viewer because can only get mouse to second screen by moving to right off main screen. Cannot move left to get to other screen which is physically located to the left side of main monitor. To return pointer, you can only get it back to first screen by taking it to the left side of second screen. Apple has a place for feedback within the program, but no X or 10 listed as software you are using. Only all the other versions they have issued over the years. Apple store in Syracuse as of today still doesn't have X installed on any machine. Processing for 15 min to Blu-ray with quad core Mac Pro and 16GB memory takes a couple of hours. Main complaint is still that it won't take 1080/60p from Panasonic TM700 without converting in camera to AVCHD. Blu-ray quality looks better than iMovie, but still not quite as good as taking the 1080/60p card and putting it into Blu-ray player or playing from Camera. Overall for someone who has only worked with an early FCP with still photos several years ago to produce Power Point Type of work with scanned slides, this is easy to learn after a couple of days and have had no crashes or anything serious go wrong. I don't see how anyone is going to make money selling programs on how to use it. A few days ago as the uproar began, notice that Apple stock went up about eight bucks a share in one day. I say a big thumbs up.

In your system preferences go to Displays and click on the arrangement tab. You can drag one of the windows to the left or right of the other to change which way the mouse enters or leaves the screen (basically, how your mac thinks they are set up.) The one with the white bar at the top is the one the mac thinks is your main screen. You can also move the white bar from one screen icon to the other to change this.

Thank you very much. That was easy. Saw that control and didn't recognize what it did. Very neat to have two displays hooked up.
