How can I get my 2010 macbook pro to send signal out through the mini display port?

First, what you said is contradictory. You say "can't get a video signal", then say"the Mac wallpaper is broadcast, the mouse pointer is visible". "No video signal" means an absolutely black,blank screen. It sounds like you have plenty of signal.
I am supposing what you are seeing is actually a blank desktop, which is to be expected if your settings are such that you are extending the desktop, instead of mirroring it.
Within the preference panes is a setting that allows you to change this. Open System Preferences, click Displays, and then click Arrangement. You will see that you are extending the desktop. Change that setting.

  • How can I get my new Mac book Pro to read my external hard drive?

    I have recently upgraded to the new MacBook Pro and have a new 2T external hard drive. I used my old MacBook Pro to transfer all my files from my old 1T hard drive of the same make to the new one. This all worked without isssue and I can open the ne external hard drive on my old Mac but my new Mac is reading it. It does not show up in finder at all but it does show up in Disk Utility. Any suggestions? Do I need to do something on my new Mac for it to be read? The new Mac has no problem with the smaller USBs I use.

    How do you have Finder Preferences set?

    The Mini-DVI to DVI adapter is designed for the iMac (Intel Core Duo), MacBook, and 12-inch PowerBook G4 — allowing you to connect to an external DVI monitor. It can also be used in combination with the Apple DVI to ADC adapter to support older Apple flat panel Studio or Cinema Displays.

  • How do I connect my 2010 Mac Book Pro to two HDMI Monitors?

    Hi All,
    I currently have a 2010 Mac Book Pro (Non Retina) which has only one MiniDisplay Port. I am trying to connect it to two HDMI Monitors. How do I do this? I originally was going to buy a MiniDisplay Port to HDMI Adapter and a HDMI Splitter, but won't that show the exact same thing on both displays? Thanks.

    If you can connect each computer to the Internet at the same time without swapping cables, you have all the infrastructure in place for File Sharing.
    On your Mac,
    System Preferences > Sharing > File Sharing can be used to "Share" [read: "make available to others"]
    OS X Mountain Lion: Set up a Windows computer to share files with Mac users
    If you decide to connect an external Hard drive:
    The PC does not believe there are any other Operating Systems, so it cannot read Mac OS X files.
    The Mac can read and write FAT and exFat, and can Read but not write NTFS.

  • How can i clean up my mac book pro easily

    I can't tell you how to because I don't know. What I do know is to NOT use MacKeeper or other free online "solutions!" They can be a nightmare to get rid of.

  • How can I connect my older mac book pro to a tv?

    Can I just use the USB port and it will work?

    Since you have not identified exactly what MBP you have, but mention DVI, I suspect a cable such as this is what you will need.
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/380694416929?lpid=82
    Understand that 2009 MBPs and earlier do not support audio via DVI or minidisplay port.  You would have to tap the audio output port  with a cable such as this:

    I am not endorsing these cable specifically, these are just examples that represent what connections that are required.

  • How can i completely reset  my mac book pro using just my keyboard

    i cant find anything if anybody knows please tell me as soon as possible

    You want to erase your hard drive, then download a fresh copy of OS X and the iLife apps? If yes, and you bought the system, ie, it's registered to you (so you can download software from the App store), and you have any important data backed up ....
    Boot holding the command and r keys down which will take you into recovery mode. Use Disk Utility to erase the hard drive. If you want you can do a secure erase, which takes longer, and will absolutely make whatever is on the hard drive unrecoverable. Make sure you have a backup of any important data.
    Then download and install OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. It may take several hours to download. Then log into the App store and download the iLife applications.

  • Why can't I use my Mac Book pro for cashing checks like every one else uses their iPhone and iPad? I am a grandmother and in the past 4 years I have purchased 4 MacBook Pros and 1 iPad for my children and grand children.

    I would like to be able to use my MaBook Pro for cashing checks lie the I phone and I pad. Why isn't this feature included?

    This has nothing to do with Apple.  As BobTheFisherman indicated, your bank needs to create an App for the Mac to do this.  These types of applications tend to be limited to mobile devices as they are a bit easier to maneuver for taking photos.

  • Problem with mac pro 2x2.93 GHZ Dual Core and Mini Display Port

    Finally I see the button to create new post!
    I would like to explain a problem I have with my mac pro 2x2.93 GHZ Dual Core Intel Xeon processors and the ATI Radeon HD 4870.
    I have two 30 "Apple. After buying the new Mac Pro is one of the two monitors, only with the monitor all black, small horizontal lines.
    This happens only to the monitor connected to the mini display port... So if you reverse it monitors the problem always moves on the board connected to the Mini Display Port.
    Apple has already changed my video card and the adapter but the problem is still there.
    Someone can tell me if it is the ATI Radeon HD 4870 that has problems to have two monitors 30 "? Or it could be that the mini display port that is hard to read the two monitors and when the background is black (RGB-255-255-255) makes these lines?
    Through the Apple store I then bought a new card (EVGA GeForce GTX 285 "). Unfortunately, after three weeks of waiting is not yet arrived. Proof that I want to do before returning to telephone assistance is whether on a card that has two dual-link DVI ports normal all goes well.
    Sorry for the repetition of messages, but my English is very bad. This is the first time I connect to this site support

    In any case, this system does not support two 30".
    I honestly don't think the 4870 with that adapter can support two 30". Just using the adapter itself would not give me the normal resolutions on my 30, where as the DVI port did. Luckily for me the adapter worked fine on my 20".
    Truly I don't know why Apple would sell a card and not say just what displays it can power.
    So I worked around my problem fine but I chose to get the 285 also. My question to you though is, did Apple make you pay for it? Was it part of a deal with them because the Radeon didn't work? You might want to talk to them about that. That is one expensive card.

  • How do I get a video signal to an external monitor via the mini-display port on my Mac Book Air?

    I can't get a video signal out through my mini-display port on my Mac Book Air (version 1).  Thus I can't feed BBC iPlayer to an external monitor.  There is some connectivity - the MAC wallpaper is broadcast, the mouse pointer is visible and sound is transferred.  Is it likely to be a cable connection problem (though the cable works with a Windows operating laptop)?

    First, what you said is contradictory. You say "can't get a video signal", then say"the Mac wallpaper is broadcast, the mouse pointer is visible". "No video signal" means an absolutely black,blank screen. It sounds like you have plenty of signal.

  • How can I get rid of old books that I have deleted from my device? It still shows up as purchased books on "Icloud".

    How can I get rid of old books that I have deleted from my device but still shows up as "purchased books" on "Icloud". I don't want to see some of these books at all. I can sort by one that are PDFs and ones currently on device, but it still gives option to show those old titles. Does anyone know how to erase your "Icloud" history, please?

    Nooooooo! lol... If I want to download again I will, I don't want an electronic trail. Plus when I have Ibooks open, sometimes I will accidently hit the item and it will immediatly try to download it. The problem with that is that its "Time magazines Best Photos of 2012" etc and it locks up my IPAD cuz of sheer size of the book. So I would like it gone from the history. Isn't there a way to clear the history?
