jpmarkques post is a good start point, after folling his directions, you can try detect displays. Also try different rsolution and refresh rates.
Most of the projectors I have used support a 1024X768 res.
Youcan also try a pram reset if it still does not detect.
Leave theproctor connected and powered up, power down the MBP.
Power back up the MBP and hold the following keys before you hear the start up chime:
Option, command, P,R (no commas) continue to hold these keys till you hear the start up chime 2 times.

  • I want to add image name with the extension to db after upload, Can any body help?

    Hello there,
    Earlier in the week I created PHP photo/image upload form so clients will be able to upload to my site, it worked very well uploading image to designated directory to the C:/path/ but there is more that I would like to do with the form, and that is to write the image name with the extension, “Joplateau.jpg” for example in the database after upload. I wanted to use hiddenField but it's not working for me, may be i am not doing it right. If any one has an idea how to do this please let me know, and thanks in advance.
    Thanks in a lot.
    Joplateau.

  • My computer screen goes from grey to black on startup and stays there. Can any one help me?

    Hi there,
    I was wondering if anyone can tell me what is going on with my Mac Pro. The screen is blank or black. When I reboot, it goes from the grey startup screen to black and nothing after that. HELP.

    You don't say which year it is, but if it's a 13" you're not having a common GPU that some 2010 and 2011 15" models are having.
    Since reinstalling the OS didn't help, I'm afraid that the only real choice you have is to take the machine to your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them run diagnostics on the machine. It's likely a screen problem, rather than a logic board problem (although that's always a possibility).
    The testing is free as if the estimate for repair. There's really nothing else you can do yourself at this point.
    Sorry,
    Clinton

  • Can any one help? "Windows cannot repair this computer automatically."

    I have a laptop satellite L455-S5000.
    And when I try and trun on my computer a black screen comes on that says "windows is loading files..."
    and after it loads a window pops up saying "startup repair is checking your computer for problems..."
    and after that gets done it says "Windows cannot repair this computer automatically" so I click "Send information about this problem (recommended)" and then I click "finish" then it shuts down. when I try turning it back on it does the same thing over. Please can any one help me fix it? Im really clueless about computers and I have know Idea what is wrong with it, or how to even go about fixing it. thanks.

    Turn the laptop off, hold down F8, turn the laptop on and let go of F8 when you see the Advanced Boot Options.
    In here, choose Repair Your Computer then press enter, follow the prompts, choose System Restore and restore your laptop to a point before the problems started.
    If the laptop cant get you there, a system recovery starts the laptop from it's factory state but you loose your programs and files doing that. Holding the "0" beside "9" while you turn the laptop on boots the laptop from its recovery partition if you accept data loss.

  • No sound when I connect my Macbook pro (2012) to TV via HDMI!

    Hi! I have a problem with the sound when I connect my Macbook pro (bought in 2012) to a Phillips HD TV. The strange thing is that it only happens with some videos (specially youtube videos) but the sound works perfectly with films and audio files I have in my computer, and also when I watch TV online (Eurosport player for instance and other similar applications). It's even stranger because it doesn't happen all the time; last week I tried many times to watch some youtube videos and after unplugging the HDMI cable it seemed to work. As I said, with Eurosport player and many films downloaded in my macbook I don't have this problem (sound is ok all the time), and this is why I'm really confused. I suppose it's not a connection problem, otherwise I wouldn't have sound in any video, right? I've tried two different HDMI's cables but nothing has changed. Please, someone help me, as I can't figure out what's happening. Thank you very much!

    Well Im not sure what the fix is for your problem, but can you please open up the sound preference next time you connect the philips tv, and make sure that sound output is set to hdmi out. Then try and play your video's etc and see if they are affected. 
    I can tell you I get a similar problem when, for example, I have a youtube window open and then connect the external display. The youtube video will not sound out through the cable, however if i refresh the window it works. Also the same when I use bluray player on mac, I have to close it and open it again for the sound to output through the external monitor.

    You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Yosemite
    To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
