How do I connect an external Display to the new MC814XX/A

I can't find a port for an external display in the NEW Imac 27" Mid 2011 (MC814XX/A)... I'm trying to connect my Cintiq to it. How do I work arround this?

You need an adapter cable that plugs into the Thunderbolt port.  The Minidisplay port to HDMI or MDP to DVI will work.  Then you plug a HDMI cable (or DVI) into that adapter and the TV.

  • How can I connect an external monitor to the new 27 inch iMac?

    I have an old PC monitor that I want to connect to my new 27 inch iMac, it's the latest edition, the one that doesn't have any mini display ports.
    All I have are four USB 2.0 ports and two Thunderbolt ports. No mini display port of any kind. So is there an adapter for me? My old monitor can use either VGA or HDMI and I'm not really fussed which one I use. A link would be most helpful, surley that are more people with the same problem.

    If the monitor supports vga and hdmi you probably what to use the digital hdmi over the analog vga.  You need a mini-displayport to HDMI adapter.  For this application mini-displayport will work when plugged into a thunderbolt connection (TB is sort of a superset of mini-displayport, the plugs and sockets are physically compatible).
    Here's examples of each kind of adapter:
    Mini DisplayPort | Thunderbolt® to HDMI® Adapter w/ Audio Support
    Mini DisplayPort | Thunderbolt to VGA Adapter

  • How Can I Connect 2 External Display Monitors to a MacBook Pro? Help

    I want to know if I can (and How to) connect 2 external display monitors to a MacBook Pro... late 2006 & the new Unibody MBP.
    I'll appreciate

    Requires additional hardware - the Matrox DualHead2Go. For the late 2006, you'd need the DualHead2Go Digital Edition, and for the unibody you'd need the DualHead2Go DP Edition, with appropriate cabling (and a DVI-to-VGA adapter for the late 2006 MBP).

  • How do you connect 3 HDMI monitors to the new Mac Pro running Maverics. HDMI to thunderbolt adaptors only support 2 displays. The fine print in Apple docs HT 5918 indicate  the Mac Pro will only support 2 HDMIs.  Anyone found a workaround?

    I am trying to connect 3 HDMI displays to a Mac Pro.  I am using a HDMI to thunderbolt adaptor and can only get 2 of the 3 displays to work.
    Does anyone know of a work around.
    Is there a systems configuration varaible for type of display?

    USB video adapters can severely limit graphics performance.  Use ACTIVE HDMI adapters instead.

  • Using FCP 7 - Can I connect two more displays to the new 27" iMac and have one as a display monitor?

    I use Final Cut Pro 7 right now and am thinking about buying the new 27" iMac with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4GB GDDR5 card. I have a 24" Apple Cinema Display with mini Display port cable. I also have one more Samsung display with DVI & HDMI. Can I connect both monitors to the iMac and be able to use one in FCP as a display monitor?

    Hello,
    Maybe a device like the Targus USB 3.0 SuperSpeed Dual Video Adapter or StarTech USB 3.0 to HDMI an DVI Dual Monitor External Video Card Adapter would work?

  • Can I run an external display off the new LaCie 2Big Thunderbolt.

    I currently run FCP 7 on a brand new MacBook Pro. I use the Thunderbolt port into a Thunderbolt to VGA adapter (third party) to run an external Asis 27" display. It all works quite well. But...
    Right now I use a LaCie d2 Firewire 800 external HD as my scratch but would like to upgrade to the new LaCie 2Big Thunderbolt. I want to then run my external display (still using the adapter) off the second Thunderbolt port on the 2Big. Is this possible? My local Apple authorized store was very sceptical although they had never tested it, in fact, they haven't even sold a 2Big yet.
    Has anyone done this? Am I going in the right direction. I don't want to pop for the 2Big (+$500) and find out the setup can't be done.
    Thanks

    Yes, I've demo'd this a lot.  Thunderbolt out of a computer, to the drive, looped to a monitor.  AND!!  Thunderbolt to an AJA IoXT for broadcast monitoring, back out to the drive, then the drive to a computer display.
    Boggles the mind, but it works

  • Connecting 2 DVI displays to the new macbook pro 13" ?

    I have the new macbook pro 13, was wondering if it would be possible to connect to two DVI monitors (non-Apple I'm afraid) DVI/thunderbolt/USB?

    But the outrageously costly macbook pro does not have a mic input? Rather a line in that noone needs :O
    Anyway do you know the quality of the internal microphone?
    Im get dissapointed when i hear i need to have more adapter cables, like the hdmi
    Thanks for the help anyway

    How do I connect an external mic to the new iPad4? Older models seem to have worked, but the lightning connector causes a lot of problems. I would like to use my Zoom H1 with my iPad4 and GarageBand. Any ideas? Thanks so much!

  • How do I connect an external microphone to a Macbook Pro with Retina display ?

    How do I connect an external microphone to a Macbook Pro with Retina display ?
    Alternatively how do I connect an audio input at a level that would normally have gone into a 'line input' socket ?

    Plug it into the linein/headphone jack if there's just one.  It'll switch between the two modes automatically depending on what you plug into it.

  • How can i connect to a LAN and external display at the same time using the mini-displayport?

    Hi all,
    At work i'm connected to the Lan via an adapter and the mini displayport. I want to use my external display at the same time, which use the same mini displayport. Are there any splitters available to use both at the same time? Are there any other alternatives?
    Thanks,

  • How do I set MacBook to an external display when the plug and play doesn't recognize it?  I am trying to set my Samsung 530 LCD as a monitor but HDMI and VGA cords (and the adaptor for them) doesn't seem to work.

    I have tried everything I can find on line but they all claim that the plug and play works, and they don't for me.  I tried the mini dvi to HDMI and a HDMI cord and that was not recognized no matter which unit I rebooted first.  I found someone who said that my Macbook might be too old for the HDMI technology so I returned the cords and went to the VGA cord and adaptor.
    I tried this first with the HDMI setup:

    Then I tried this with the VGA setup:

    I contacted Samsung support and they said I needed to set the display settings to external display on the mac.  I went to the display settings and moved the icon to my status bar.  When I click on search for displays or whatever it says (I'm not at my Mac right now) it does nothing.
    What am I missing?

    I am using MAC OSx 10.5.8 (9L31a) as my operation system.  The TV says "No signal.  Check connected device's power, cable connection and source selection."  Seems to me that that goes in hand with what the Samsung tech said about the Mac needing to be forces to use the external display.  But how do I do that?

    Hi mshields1162,
    Great question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    First, you may want to choose to have the sidebar displayed for familiarity:
    iTunes 11: Frequently used features
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
    Afterwards, your device should be displayed if connected:
    We'll want to click on it, and choose the Music tab at the top. Let's make sure "Sync Music" is checked:
    Afterwards, you'll have the option to sync either the entire music library (for your first iPod), or "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres" (for the secondary device). Upon selecting this option, four larger option boxes will appear allowing you to pick and choose what content will be synced. For audiobooks, you may need to do the above in the "Books" section. For a visual instruction on how to do this, see the following:

  • Spaces - Automatic re-arranging when connecting/disconnecting external display

    In my role I have to constantly disconnect and reconnect my external display. When I do this my spaces rearrange and the applications within those spaces also move around.
    Is there a way to stop this as it takes me a bit of time to put them back in the right place and becomes a little frustrating.
    Any help would be great!
    Thanks, Brad.

    Hey BSteely and thanks for your reply!
    I must say it seems to work better to plug in the cable when the display is on and also wake the computer before plugging in the cable. I still have the shadow under the arrow when doing this. However, when unplugging it doesn't seem to matter. I've now unplugged the external display while the computer is on and then I close the "lid" (display) of the MacBook Pro. Upon wakeup shadow under the cursor is gone and a few days ago the computer just "woke up" to a black screen. I had to force restart.
    So, first opening/waking the computer before connecting the display seems to work better, but if I want to use just the external display it's kind of awkward having to first wake, then connect display, USB keyboard etc., then close "lid" and wait for computer to sleep and finally wake the computer again using the USB keyboard. All in all I really think it could work a bit more smoothly, *especially since Apple makes both the hardware and the software.* Well, they don't make the Dell display of course...
    Anyone know how well/different all this work when having an Apple Cinema display?

  • Hp dv6 1355dx laptop - how do I connect 2 external monitors?

    I have a HP dv6 1355dx laptop Entertainment PC.  How do I connect 2 external monitors (both have VGA cables) and neither one has HDMI connectors.  My laptop has only 1 VGA connector, so I can display my laptop video and 1 of the external monitors. 
    Any help would get greatly appreciated.  I am even willing to buy a docking station or port replicator.

    Hi,
    Docking station or port replicator won't solve the problem because of your internal graphics card. You need something which is similar to the following products:
        http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/products/gxm/
    or USB to 2 VGA monitors but very hard to find (normally you can only get 1 VGA and 1 other, not both VGA's).
