This post discusses some of the equivalent tips, tricks, and applications in OS X with a focus on free solutions. In that time, I’ve come across a lot of tips, tricks, and tools to increase productivity and generally make life easier. I’ve primarily been developing in Java on the Windows platform for eight years.

Anyway, Thanks again.I recently acquired a nice 17 inch MacBook Pro to replace my not too old but way too bogged down Windows machine. One of the benefits are all the free and low cost apps that after all this time Microsoft is finally doing the same.

Maybe Apple has things but I haven’t found them. It makes th registry changes for you and your done.

But if you google you desires some one has already made up a program you download for free. Also, if there are other things you would like to do, for example one standard context option should I say is not standard is right click save to folder or copy to folder. That is one of the Windows benefits, where ever you are pretty much right click and all the options you would like are there. I wish Apple context windows had more options. I hope someone like you could make a single page with links comparing how windows did things like this and what Apple does. and the apple OS is different I just need to give it more time. I don’t know why Apple doesn’t make some of these things obvious. In Windows in the display settings it is one of the options to check on each display page. I am so pleased with this small but powerful computer but I still have problems with finding things like this issue of selecting the primary display. I installed a 256 gb SSD and maxed out the memory at 16gb. I purchased a 2012 Mac Mini with an I7 CPU running at 2.3 GHZ. I am a iPhone user and iPad user and have been very happy with them so I decided to make the plunge to a Mac. This was my 3rd Sony laptop that died before its time. Last summer 2013, my 4th Sony Laptop which I paid over 1200 dollars for would not power on one morning.

This is the same in all versions of MacOS and Mac OS X, be it MacOS Big Sur, MacOS Catalina, MacOS Mojave, Mac OS High Sierra, Sierra, Mavericks, Yosemite, El Capitan, or whatever else is running on the Mac. If it’s recognized as an external display, it will work. You can do this with any external display, whether it’s an official LCD or LED monitor, an HDTV connected to a Mac through HDMI, or even something like a projector or a software-based solution like AirDisplay.

Note this is different than operating a MacBook or MacBook Pro in clamshell mode, which also will set the external display as the primary screen, though clamshell is different in that it disables the builtin screen of a laptop in order to power the external monitor. Using this method you can effectively turn any external display into the main display for any Mac (MacBook, MacBook Pro, Air, iMac, whatever) which is a really nice way to maximize screen real estate in dual-display setups that feature a smaller screened Mac with a larger external monitor hooked up to it.

Keep this in mind when adjusting screen priority, and do note that if the secondary display has become detached, the primary screen will revert back to a built-in display on any portable Mac model. Whatever monitor is set as the primary display will become the default display for applications launching, in addition to holding the system menubar, containing all the default desktop icons, and contain the Dock. This screenshot demonstrates the white bar actively being dragged from the built-in screen on the left to an external connected display on the right, notice the red border that indicates the secondary screen (right side) will become the new primary display.

When satisfied with the new primary display setting, close out of System Preferences to keep the preferences set.

After you release the white bar onto the other blue screen representation, the screens of both displays will flicker on and off briefly and the video output will adjust to accomodate the new settings.

Notice the red border that forms around the new primary screen as you drag the white bar into the arrangement, this helps you determine which screen to use as the primary screen.

Drag the white bar across to the other monitor you want to set as the new primary display for your Mac.

Click and hold on the white bar at the top of the current primary display, this white bar signifies the menu bar.

Open System Preferences from the Apple menu .

Before beginning, have both displays turned on, and the external display already connected to the Mac: You will obviously need an external display to use this feature.
