How to connect an external monitor to macbook pro. The monitor has no usb connector without a usb

How to connect an external monitor to macbook pro. The monitor has no usb connecter, only a port.

Most MacBook Pro models have a Mini DVI port, a Mini DisplayPort or a ThunderBolt port for connecting an external display. USB does not have enough bandwidth to support a responsive display connection.
What model MacBook Pro do you have, by year, CPU speed or MacBook Pro 3.1 designation?

  • I just bought a new external monitor (ASUS), and I have DVI adapter plug. When I connect it with my Macbook pro - the monitor remain black (even tho it is 'on')

    I just bought a new external monitor (ASUS), and it have DVI and VGA plugs. I bought the DVI adapter to connect with my macbook pro laptop. But the external monitor remain black… so I turn it off then turn it back on, it said "No VGA signal". Does it means I have to use VGA adapter instead? I am not sure how it work, I am very new to it… I hope you can help me out!

  • How to drive Two External Displays w/MacBook Pro

    I'd like to drive 2 external 24" displays with my MacBook Pro (MacBookPro5,1 -- mid 2009 I think) and have a couple of questions before I spend the money on the displays:
    1) It appears this can be done based on some of the other threads I've read, but I just want to be sure.
    2) I'll buy matched displays, but what is the max resolution I can drive them at? Just don't want to waste money on resolution I can't use.
    3) What video adapters do I need to use for this?
    Thanks much in advance.

    The Matrox DualHead2Go DP Edition can drive two 1920 x 1200 displays off the MBP's mini-Displayport:
    http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/products/gxm/dh2go/
    Note that only the DP Edition, and not the Digital Edition, supports this resolution when used with a unibody MBP.
    Then there are USB video adapters, all or most of which do NOT support 1920 x 1200:

  • How do i improve processing speed on macbook pro? it has 2gb memory

    I purchased my macbook pro in 2012. It has 2gb memory. Currently on OSX version 10.9.
    The processing speed has decreased over a period of time. Although i don't keep heavy data in the system. I have been able to fix it couple of times, but it keeps recurring every few weeks.

    You won't get full performance from Mavericks with only 2 GB of memory.
    One of the myths that circulate on this site is the myth that you must maintain a certain percentage, such as 10% or 15%, of free space on the startup volume. That myth is based on nothing except the fact that people keep repeating it.
    According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.

  • How do i download icloud on my macbook pro

    How can I add icloud to my macbook pro, the icon is not in my preferences or apps.

    You need Lion (10.7.2) or greater to run iCloud, if your Mac is up to it I would suggest that you upgrade to Mountain Lion (10.8.2) from the App store.

  • I want to remove the monitor from my 17" Macbook Pro 2008 to use as an external for my Macbook Pro 15" 2012. How can I convert lvds to Thunderbolt and power the monitor?

    I want to remove the monitor from my 17" Macbook Pro 2008 to use as an external for my Macbook Pro 15" 2012. How can I convert lvds to Thunderbolt and power the monitor?

    It's almost impossible.  The new iMacs have a Target Display Mode, but it's built to do that.  Without ripping your screen out, finding an acceptable power supply, frame, and whatever electronics to convert a Thunderbolt signal to the screen, the cost will be much larger than buying a cheaper HiDef monitor that runs with an HDMI to Thunderbolt cable to your MacBook 15.  In fact, you can sell your 17" MBP for a lot of money, unless it's broken or something, buying you a really sweet monitor.
    By the way, I found your answer by searching this forum.  I would suggest using the search function here in the futuere.
