Plover
Plover is a Late 2013 MacBookPro with Retina display. A1502
I run Parallels and then use Windows 7 + ArcGIS.
History
I have Sierra on it now
2016-Sep-02 -- Installed updates this morning and now it can't find any apps. See below
2016-Jan-16 -- I put El Capitan on it yesterday.
Software
Inside Windows 7 Parallels machine:
PERSONAL license: ArcGIS Desktop 10.5.1, ArcGIS Pro 2.0
Clear DNS cache
sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
Dual displays
Apple does a superlative job of supporting multiple displays, I can plug in 2 external monitors and get 3 total separate displays or I can use external mouse and keyboard working with the lid closed on the Mac.
- Plug in a cheap Firewire/Thunderbolt DVI adapter on the left side of Plover.
- Connect monitor #1 (Dell 20") to the adapter.
- Connect monitor #2 (Acer 23") to the DVI port on the right side of Plover
- Connect Plover to AC power and close the lid.
- Set the monitors to separate mode (not mirrored) using icon in Menu bar.
Use with either USB or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
Voila! 2 big screens. Cables running all over heck.
Update fail
Was able to log in using Julie's account. Trying this: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7376445 I see "mdworker deny(1) file-read-data" errors in /var/log/system.log
This worked:
find /private/var/folders |grep com.apple.LaunchServices | grep csstore > /tmp/foo
Now delete each of those files.
for i in `cat /tmp/foo`; do sudo rm -f $i; done
And reboot. All should now be well. I wonder what those files do and how that guy figured out what to do.
