Turn on the displays (if necessary) and start up your computer.

You’ll now want to adjust your displays for proper viewing.

Configuring Mac OS X for Multiple Displays

If your computer is connected to two displays, you can set them up to show a
continuous desktop that extends across both screens. This is known as extended
desktop mode
.

Because Aperture controls the second display, you must keep your computer in this
mode for the application to operate properly. If you work in mirroring mode, where the
same contents appear on both displays, Aperture may not work properly.
