How to Do a Dual Screen on an iMac (9 Steps)

Determine the type of video connection used with the external monitor you wish to connect to the iMac. The iMac features a Mini DisplayPort on the back of the monitor that supports DVI, VGA and dual-link DVI connections through the use of different adapters. DVI and VGA are two of the most common connections used with computer monitors. The type of connection your external monitor uses should be printed beneath its connection port (see Resources).
Plug in the appropriate Mini DisplayPort adapter for your monitor. The Mini DisplayPort connector is located in the lower-left corner on the back of your iMac to the right of the USB cable and ethernet cable inputs (see Resources).
Turn on the external monitor and the iMac computer.
Connect the external monitor's connection cable to the Mini DisplayPort adapter that you connected to the back of the computer.
Click the 'Finder' icon on the iMac Dock and then click the 'Applications' folder. Click 'System Preferences' to open the 'System Preferences' dialog box. Click 'Displays' beneath the 'Hardware' subheading to bring up the 'Display Settings' dialog box.
Click 'Detect Displays' in the lower-right side of the dialog box to force the iMac to detect the external display. Once the computer detects the external display, select the 'Arrangement' tab. Two boxes will appear in the dialog box, representing your monitors. The box with the white bar across the top of it represents the iMac monitor while the other box represents the external monitor.
Drag the box that represents your external monitor to the appropriate side of the box that represents your iMac monitor. For example, if your external monitor is on the left side of your iMac, drag the box representing the external monitor to the left side of the box representing the iMac monitor.
Place a checkmark next to the 'Mirror Displays' option in the lower-left corner of the 'Arrangement' dialog box if you want to use the external display to mirror the iMac display. Remove the check mark from the 'Mirror Displays' option if you want to use the external display as an extended display. This means that the monitor will act as an extension of your iMac's desktop, letting you drag the mouse cursor from one screen to the other. You can display programs, movies, applications or anything else on the second monitor to free up space on the iMac's main screen.
Close the 'Display Preferences' window to save the changes.

How to Clean Up Your MacBook System

Launch your disk inventory utility (Disk Inventory X, GrandPerspective or WhatSize -- all are freeware or shareware) to see a visualization of the files taking up space on your computer. Every bit of information on your drive is color-coded in this visualization. For instance, if you have a large music collection on your hard drive, these files will be indicated by large blocks of a solid color. Examining what takes up the most space on your drive can help you locate misplaced or unwanted files and determine what files can be moved to an external drive.
Connect a USB or Firewire external hard drive to your computer. Locate document and media files that you do not frequently use on the computer. Photos, music and videos are ideal candidates to store on an external hard drive. These files can be accessed anytime the drive is connected. Do not copy system or program files. For example, computer games may take up a large amount of space on your hard drive, but these files would need to be physically installed on the drive. Even then, running the game from the external drive would significantly decrease performance speeds.
Organize your system folders, primarily the Downloads and Documents folders. Click the asterisk button in the Finder window to create new subfolders and assign easily remembered titles to them. Drag and drop files into these new folders instead of storing a mixed bag of media in your Downloads folder. Many files downloaded from the Internet are automatically copied from the browser to your Downloads folder, however, so you may have a picture or an email attachment that was stored on your drive even though you only viewed it the first time you opened it. By default, the Mac operating system keeps your important system files together in a separate folder away from your personal and regularly accessed media. Do not try to copy and relocate system files.
