Connecting Mac Pro to Dell monitor

I have connected Macpro to Dell DVI monitor, the Dell will show the Mac home screen, but stays on that screen when i change to a different screen (on Mac)?

You have it set up as an extended desktop rather than mirroring. That means you can drag a window from your MBP onto that monitor. It's like an extension of the existing monitor. If you want mirroring, which shows the same on both, go to Displays in System Preferences and change it.

HDMI port
Use the HDMI port to connect a compatible HDMI display, TV, or projector. Mac Pro supports HDMI 1.4 to enable connections to UltraHD and 4K displays. The HDMI port supports the following resolutions.
1080p resolution at up to 60Hz
3840-by-2160 resolution at 30Hz
4096-by-2160 resolution at 24Hz

Hello people how can i connect mac pro imac as monitor whit mini display

hello people i have aproblem with my comp mac pro with 5770 ati card i want to use that to let the imac use as monitor oke please respons i am from the duth

Language problem I think -- mac pro is not a monitor. Do you want to use a monitor on a mac pro as a second monitor on the imac? Or do you want to network the mac pro with your imac? Or do you want to use the imac as a second monitor on your mac pro?

Connecting MacBook Pro to Dell Monitor

Hello all,
So I am attempting to connect my MBP to a Dell 19" LCD Monitor I got on craigslist. The owner showed me that it worked (with his PC) before i purchased it. I then went home ordered an HDE Mini Display Port to VGA Female Adapter on Amazon to connect them with.
First off, whenever I plug the adapter to the end of the monitor's cord it immediately goes to sleep mode without even being connected to my MBP. Nothing seems to awaken it and all it will display when I press buttons on the monitor is "In Power Save Mode, Press and Key on Keyboard or Move Mouse".
Secondly, when I do connect it to my MBP, my laptop flashes blue as if connecting and then nothing happens. Also when I go to displays, it does not detect the external monitor at all. I clicked 'detect displays' multiple times and it will not recognize that the monitor is plugged in.
I have tried multiple methods from forums of unplugging, restarting and resetting PRAM. Nothing has changed.
The only thing I can think of is the VGA adapter is bad. I haven't tested this theory. I am hoping there is a different solution, but if not I will go into the mac store and try a new adapter.

Searching on Amazon, I find the monitor has HDMI. a Mini-Displayport to HDMI adapter from the Apple Store is a much better choice than any VGA adapter. Also your machine will support audio over HDMI if there is audio on the monitor. If not, that's immaterial for that monitor:

Anyway, HDMI carries the full digital signal. So does DVI. I for one prefer HDMI since it is less likely to fail connecting.

Connect mac pro to jetdirect 600N

connect mac pro to jetdirect 600N with the second ethernet port on the mac

This is how I've connected my Mac Pro to my JetDirect 300.
In the Network preference pane set Ethernet 2 up as shown (I didn't mess with anything under 'Advanced'.
In the Sharing preference pane select Internet Sharing and select your "Share your connect from'' port and "To computers using" port. Then select the Internet Sharing check box. I think this only needs to be done if you want to share your printer with others computers over your network but I'm not 100% sure.
Print a report from you JetDirect 600 to determine it's IP address (my JetDirect 300 does this by holding the Test button on top). Go to the Print & Scan preference pane and click on the '+' to add a printer, select IP, under Protocol select 'HP Jetdirect - Socket', and then type the IP address for your JetDirect 600. If you want give it a Name. It should automatically figure out the correct driver. Then click the Add button.

Connecting my MacBook Pro to Dell Monitor

Hi, I have a Dell E228WFP 24 inch monitor and I have connected it to my MacBook Pro (October 2013, Non-retina, 13 inch) with a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter, and another adapter off eBay, which plugs into the VGA cable that is in the back of the Dell monitor. When I turn the monitor on, the screen remians black, then the monitor goes into power save mode. The Mac can find the monitor, and the Mac says the monitor is working perfectly.
The monitor goes into power save no matter if I put it on Auto Detect or Digital imput, or Analog input.
Please help!

Will a Mac Mini connect to my old Dell monitor?

As my old Powermac G5 is seriously out of date, I think I'm going to buy a mac mini as I have limited space for a huge imac.
However, I want to use my old Dell monitor but I'm not sure if they two will connect. The monitor is 8 years old and has one of the connectors with the two screws either site. Is there an adapter with the mini?

Yes, you can purchase a VGA to HDMI adapter or VGA to Thunderbolt/Mini DisplayPort. If you still want to use your G5 (I still do) then you could use a KVM switch to share a monitor, keyboard and mouse between the two.

Connecting Mac Pro to Panasonic BT-LH2550 monitor for Color

Dear All,
I am planning to have a setup to connect a Panasonic BT-LH2550 monitor with my Mac Pro to view the footage pixel-pixel for serious color grading with Color from FCP Studio.
I am wondering what kind of connection I need to have between the monitor and the Mac. In fact, do you I any extras card or connector. Someone told me that as LH2550 has DVI connection, I can just plug the monitor to the computer, but I wonder if this method is accurate enough to show the footage for color grading.
I also heard about AJA, but I really don't need any capturing. Is there any another cheaper way (yet still with good color reproduction on the monitor for color grading).
Thanks a lot in advance.
King

No...if you want to capture this is a good card. But get the LHi...the LHe isn't available anymore anyway. The LHi will upconvert SD to HD, and cross convert 720p to 1080i on the fly. As will the MXO2...

Connecting Mac Pro with GeForce GT120 to monitor and TV at same time

Hi - I just want to know in advance of buying the latest 8 core Mac Pro with a single NVIDIA GeForce GT120 graphics card, will this connect to both my apple cinema display 20'' and my Panasonic Viera LCD TV's 'PC Input' at the same time?
From what I can tell this graphics card has a small output port and a wider one - am I right in thinking the smaller one is a mini-display port which would connect to my TV's 'pc input' and the other is DVI which connects to the Apple cinema display? --- is the 'mini display port' something that connects directly into thr TV or is an adaptor required?
Thanks for reading!

The PC input is most likely VGA. A standard (old, but still common) connection port for most laptops (which is the primary usage). If you had a desktop, you would probably connect through DVI to HDMI.
You need a DVI to VGA adapter. Also check if you need male or female, as you might need an VGA adapter, plus VGA cord.
This adapter usually comes with all Mac Pros:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/M8754G/A?mco=NDcyMDY3OA
Then you just need to buy a long VGA cord.

Again double check the if you need male/male or male/female, etc.

Connecting MacBook Pro to Dell Dimension

I have a MacBook Pro, a Dell Dimension and a 24" Dell Monitor. Im trying to connect the two computers to one monitor, keyboard and mouse. Its my understanding that a KVM switch should work but my main concern is that Im trying to use a wireless mac keyboard and a wireless mac mighty mouse. Also, Im going to need to have enough outputs on the switch to be able to share the speakers, a USB printer (Epson R220) and the USB card reader thats built into the monitor. Is there a KVM switch that will be able to handle this?
Is there a better way to be able to share these computers?
Please help!

Wheather the wireless keyboard and mouse will work seems to depend on the adapter / bluetooth software stack being used.
Some people have had success with the DLink DBT-120 adapter, some don't. I have tried it with DBT-120 as well and it did not work. However, I tried it with the version that is currently sold in retail stores, which is the "C1" build version. This one uses a Bluetooth software stack from Toshiba and that seems to be the issue. The B1 version that some people where successful with apparently uses a WIDCOMM stack, and that seems to be the key.
Now, some people are saying that you have to have the DBT-120 adapter and a certain old version of the WIDCOMM stack, 1.4.2.10, to get it to work. But after searching the web quite a bit, I believe I found a better solution that will work with ANY bluetooth adapter (or built in bluetooth) that uses ANY version of the WIDCOMM stack.
Here is what you do:
1. Install you Bluetooth adapter as described by the manufacturer and reboot your machine.
2. Switch the Apple wireless mouse on into pairing mode and watch the lower right side of your screen closely for messages from windows. There will be a message saying that pairing failed because of a missing code. Click on that message and in the window that opens enter 0000 as code. Now your mouse should work.
3. Press Win Start button, choose Run and then type regedit and press enter to access windows registry editor.
4. In the registry editor search for and select -> HKEYCURRENTUSER\Software\Widcomm\BtConfig\General
5. Set the key 'PinCodeWord' to a decimal value of 1111
6. Set the key 'UseFixedPin' to a decimal value of 1
7. Then attempt pairing. When you get to the greyed PIN screen type 1111 using OTHER keyboard THAN Apple Bluetooth keyboard.
8. Press the Return key on the Apple keyboard on the number pad, not the regular Retrun key.
7. Enjoy your nice Apple wireless keyboard and mouse.
I am currently typing this with the Apple wireless keyboard and mouse on a HP laptop. The bluetooth adapter is from Belkin and the WIDCOMM stack is 4.x.

Monitor adapter for macbook pro and dell monitor

Hello,
I have a MacBook Pro and a Dell monitor. The laptop has Mac OS X (Version 10.6.8). The model of the Dell monitor is a Dell E193FPp. I'd like to know what monitor adapter to get to be able to connect the 2 together. Anyone have any ideas?
Any help would be great. If you need more info on either equipment to help answer, please let me know.
Thanks in advance!

Mac Pro with Dell UP2414Q Sleep Wake Issue

Hi,
I have *two* Dell UP2414Q displays connected to a new Mac Pro, both using Display Port 1.2 (MST) setting in order to get 4K @ 60Hz.
Works fine. Except Google Chrome which is really lame at redrawing all these pixels when you scroll up/down.
The issue is: when the displays go to sleep for a longer period of time (actually it's probably when the Mac Pro itself has gone to sleep) and I wake the system up, the Dells sometimes won't wake up!
And if I start fiddling with the display buttons I will get a half image (left half of the screen). Same problem on each display except sometime it's the first one that doesn't wake up, sometimes it's the second one and sometimes it's both. Unfortunately the situation where they both wake up is extremely rare
Has anyone else had similar troubles?
Note: I have had similar sleep wake issues with just one UP2414Q connected.
I'm running OS X 10.9.4 (of course).
I'm also having a 3rd smaller display connected though a DVI adapter. That one wakes up 100% of the time. I previously had 3 of these and they did always wake up all 3 without issues.
-Francois.

I have this issue with the UP2414Q monitor and my new Mac Pro . . . . . and then some.
I started by losing the right half of the screen on wake up. After about two months of use, my monitor has developed a fault where both sides of the monitor are displayed but at seemingly very different calibrations. The left half is contrasty and the right half seems to be correctly matched to my working profile. This is using the display port connections. HDMI doesn't have this problem but it also won't run at 60Hz, which was an important factor in my choice of this monitor.
At this point I contacted both Apple and Dell. Although I have had quite a few different Apple support staff over a period of a week or so, they did keep good notes, were very patent and seemed to take a genuine interest into trouble shooting it. I cannot say the same for Dell. At first they did ask questions and did the right thing by sending a replacement. It worked fine on display port, then on HDMI but when I connected it back to display port the split screen problem occurred on the brand new replacement one too. After a day of fiddling with connections it went back to displaying correctly with all connections and has not reverted but it does now have the dead right halve on wakeup more frequently than before. I reconnected the original monitor but that has the split screen problem and I can't find a way of getting it to go away. It is unusable.
This incident with the replacement monitor was five days ago. In that time I have tried to contact Dell support by the original e-mail of the technician that initially helped and by phone, through the support number. The email gets the repeated response "Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you for your email. I have left for the day, hence my reply will be delay". It happens in the mooring or the afternoon. A phone call to Dell's support number always starts with a promise to be transferred to the technician dealing with my case and, without fail ends by me being left on hold indefinitely with a terrible one minute audio loop followed by a repeated promise of the next available agent. I once waited over 30 minutes, just to test it. I live in Australia but this was clearly an international call centre. Dell obviously have no intention of dealing with my case. They will have to talk soon though because I still have an extra one of their monitors.
Unless there is a firmware update for this monitor, I would strongly advise against buying one for a Mac, or any Dell product for that matter.

Mac Pro and multiple monitors

I have a new Mac Pro (Late 2013) even though I bought it new in 2015. I have three monitors I'm trying to run on it.
2 are older Apple Cinema HD Displays.
Display Type: LCD
Resolution: 1680 x 1050
Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888)
1 is a Wacom 21UX which is my main monitor
Resolution: 1600 x 1200 @ 60 Hz
Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888)
All three hook up via Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter ($30 a pop). I was under the impression that you could run up to 6 displays off this thing. This was one of the main reasons I upgraded and spent 4 grand on my Mac Pro. I've read in some other posts about Legacy stuff that the newer OS does not support this. I've also seen some post that talk about Active DVI adapters. I'm not sure what direction to go. It surprises me that this computer can't support multiple lesser monitors but will tackle 6 4K displays? Seems idiotic to expect an end user to only but that display at a grand each. There has to be a solution rather than going back operating systems to fix what will more than likely fail again. Thank gawd my brother gave me these monitors.
What Happens:
Only two will work at one time.

Hi,
This can't be true, I'm running 10.10.3 on a Mac Pro 3,1 (early 2008). This has 2 NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT card installed in it with two monitors attached to each (4 in total).
I originally had 3 monitors each running at 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hertz (NTSC), this worked fine. Today however I added a 4th monitor. The 3 original monitors are all Samsung 24A450's, the new one is an updated version of the same monitor - Samsung 24C450. When the monitor arrived, I shut down the Mac Pro, then attached the monitor and powered up again. When it started up, only two monitors were showing. After trying a couple of things, I shut down again and disconnected the new monitor and power up again, all 3 of the originals came back up. I then tried connecting the 4th Monitor (the 24C450) while the machine was still running and low and behold it recognised it! I configured it and it seems to work ok.
I have one remaining (minor) problem with it, the 3 original Monitors have resolutions of 1920 x 1200, but the newer monitor won't go above 1920 x 1080. Why is this? Is it possible to get this new monitor to match the 1920 x 1200 resolutions? If I got an active adaptor would this make it use the higher resolution. I'm connected via DVI on all four, is it a cabling issue? I am using the cable that came with the 4th monitor, but have another one on order which I'll try when it arrives.
So, unless you've solved the problem using active adaptors, you could try connecting the DVI to the machine while it is still running.
All the Best
Dave

Connecting Mac Pro to Dual G5

I apologize if this question has been asked before, but I could not find it.
I have a new Mac Pro that I want to connect to my old, dual G5 via ethernet. What I'd like to be able to do is connect the Mac Pro (with a keyboard and monitor) to the G5 (without a keyboard and monitor) and from the Mac Pro access the G5's hard drive, I/O ports and make use of its two processors to run certain programs. Is this possible? If so, I'd appreciate any advice on how to do it.
Thanks,
Frank

I think you're better off connecting the two with a firewire cable and booting the G5 in Target Disk mode.
1. Connect a Firewire cable between your MBP and your G5 Mac.
2. Your MBP is running.
3. Startup your G5 Mac in Target Disk Mode by booting and holding down the 'T' key.
Then you should have access to the G5 from the MBP.

My mac pro with dual monitors keep switching sides after reboot

Hi all,
I am having a really weird issues with my Mac Pro after I installed Mountain Lion. I have dual ACD Monitors. Every time I reboot, the monitors switch sides. In other words, the monitor that is in front of me with the dock would switch to the other monitor and vice versa after I reboot. When I reboot again, it switches back again. This is extremely annoying. I have had to switch the inputs on the back of my computer every time.

I hate to burst my own bubble here, but I recently added a 3rd monitor, and now I'm getting the same inconsistent monitor switching between my second and third monitors.
Here's my set up:
Mac Pro, OSX 10.8.2
2x2.26 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon
16 GB RAM
Three Dell ST2420L display monitors
What seems to be happening now is that I get three identical 'color' display profiles. The first one seems to stay on the same monitor, but the second and third monitors now switch at random. I can't seem to get them to stay in any particular order.
Any suggestions or new approaches for solving this would be greatly appreciated!
