Default When using two screens...

I'm using 2 screens (including my macbook pro screen).

The screen I have connected to my macbook pro is the screen I'm using as my primary screen.

Whenever I use pro tools, and I need to bounce, or use quantize etc, the popup always appears on my macbook pro screen. This means I have to look over to that screen. I want everything to appear on the primary screen (in my case, the screen I have connected).

Is it possible for Pro Tools to recognise my primary screen is the one I have connected to the mac? All other programs I have work fine - everything pops up on my main (connected) screen.

Pro Tools is the only program I have that will show pop ups on my mac screen instead of my connectd screen

Default Re: When using two screens...

Just found it myself... in the Display Arrangement system prefs window, dragging the white menu bar to your external screen should make it the primary. I don't know if you need to restart or not but give it a try.
