I don't know how to set up a dual screen for this on my laptop. I have a MacBook Air 2013. I know how to do mirrored screen, but how do I set up dual?

If you have two monitors, you just uncheck mirror in display setting, it will become mirror off (Dual) mode (For Mac)

I have NO idea. I returned this product because I could figure out how to install it. Sorry.

Yes, that is how my setup is: http://i.imgur.com/vc7h9mm.jpgHere's the trick though, you need to buy 2 of these. I know there are directions that say "the third monitor must use the adapter" but it's actually 2 out of the 3 screens need to have them in order to work. I'm using an older mac pro tower and it has 2 mini display ports and 1 dvi. I have the 2 mini display cables each running through an Accell adapter, and then my third screen goes straight from dvi to hdmi to the TV. Make sure all of your connections are seated properly, I thought my adapters went out but it was the weight of the cable "pulling" slightly on my HDMI. I've been using these for a few months now and they haven't failed yet! Yes, that is how my setup is: http://i.imgur.com/vc7h9mm.jpgHere's the trick though, you need to buy 2 of these.

I've tried it on a 2011 MBA and it worked just fine (it was about a year ago). I had two 1920 x 1080 DVI monitors plugged into the DualHead2Go Digital ME and the macbook air worked great with all 3 monitors (2 external plus the Macbook air's builtin monitor).Also, I highly recommend the BetterSnapTool for managing your desktop space on the two external monitors - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bettersnaptool/id417375580?mt=12

You bet, Plug the device into your usb, then plug the monitor into the device and then you will have another monitor show up in your device settings which you can either mirror or extend the current screen to

Hi Eileen,Click on settings, then click on display. On that window click on Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available. Click on air-play mirroring. It should then just automatically connect. It does take a minute or two to connect so you might think its doing nothing but it really is connecting. I hope I have helped you.

This item did not work on my Macbook Air. I had the same issue. I sent it back. Still trying to figure it out. I have to take a trip to the apple store...THere is No MIRRORING option.

I don't have much experience with Mac products, but i did find this link for you. https://discussions.apple.com/message/22067174?tstart=0 If you get a DVI converter, make sure it supports Dual Link DVI, as it will not work otherwise.

If you are having to ask this question, you likely will need to have someone that knows more about computers help you. Not being a smartazz, just being realistic. Most any computer can be made to support dual monitors with a new video card or external dock. Few come ready-to-go for duals. DO you have a tech-savvy friend that can helpyou?

You can monitor-share. If your computers are on the same wifi network, go to the Finder on the iMac, select the MacBook Air in the left-hand panel, and select the "Share Monitor..." button. (You have to have sharing set up in the Sharing Control Panel.) Once the iMac is mirroring the MBA, hit the full-screen button in the upper-right corner (I'm assuming you're running Lion or later.) Voila! You're using the iMac's monitor to run you MBA. The only other way that I'm aware of to use the iMac as a "monitor" for the MBA would be to restart the MBA in Target mode, and restart the iMac to use the MBA as its startup disk. The problem is that the iMac doesn't have a Thunderbolt connector and the MBA doesn't have a Firewire connector. I think you could connect the two through a USB hub, but I'm not sure. In any case, you'd be running on the iMac, not the MBA, so I don't think there's anything to be gained by that.

Like on Window's PC's, you will have to download the right drivers. It took me about 4 hours to get my new 1080p monitor to work right, had to download 3 or 4 drivers. Make sure that you go to the ViewSonic page to update all your current drivers first, the disk that it comes with does not have the updates on it. You will probably have to go to Apple to get the right Mac drivers too. It's a pain, but the monitor works awesome once you get it set up. I'm extremely pleased with mine, the side viewing is just as good as direct on viewing. One of my laptops that I have set up for this monitor only has 1GB of Ram, and it works just fine with it.

What you are describing is Target Display Mode, where one Mac can be used as a display for another. That is not possible with this adapter, as it required a thunderbolt or mini-display port cable on both ends to transmit the data. If the non-Apple notebook is fully display port compliant, then it may be possible to use the iMac as a monitor. More information can be found here: http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT3924

If you connect an external display, you can have the desktop display on either or both, and in higher resolution when displaying only on the external display. You can't however (so far as I've seen), have the two displays both on at once and showing different parts of a desktop as on a PC or Mac.

You can setup the Monitors and all three will 2 External and Laptop monitor will show. The Orientation is determined by the software and you can adjust it anyway you need it. Make sure you download the latest version of the software and reboot. I have installed on 3 MAC's now and It seems to work out better if you download the software reboot then plugin the hardware.

I haven't tried, but to the best of my knowledge that isn't possible with any technology. Even the ultra-high bandwidth ThunderBolt connections used by Apple only allow you drive one screen per port. If you want to run dual screens you need dual ports on your computer.

Make sure the VGA, HDMI, AUXILIARY & the power cord are all securely fit into each input, and then make sure your second screen is on the right mode. On your computer make sure you set up second screen and set it to display on the second screen. Good luck!

It depends on whether you're using Mac or Windows. On Mac you go to Settings > Displays > Arrangment > Uncheck "Mirror Displays"you can also move which side you want the display on too by moving the smaller square around.I'm not completely sure on PC though since I haven't used the two screen thing on PC as of yet.

If it shows the default background, OSX has probably configured the adapter as a second monitor. You can either set your monitors as mirrored (the same signal goes to both the laptop screen and the TV) through the Display Settings panel, or you can drag your video player over to the other monitor.
