MacBook Air to my TV thru the MiniDisplay Port to HDMI.

When I connect my MacBook Air to my TV thru the MiniDisplay Port to HDMI I only see the MacBook Universe Desktop Display. How do I see what is displayed on my screen?

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

This is called extended desktop mode. It's a logical extension of the desktop to the right of your main monitor.

Grab an application on your monitor and drag it off the right side of the screen and it will appear on the TV.


To mirror your monitor on the TV you can press Command F1.


These setting are in System Preferences > Display > Arrangement tab.


You can also choose which screen will display the menubar there.
