Mac book pro not projecting on cinema display

Mac book not projecting same image as cinema display - any troubleshooting ideas to help?

Hello Christina,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like the cinema display is not showing the same image that the Macbook.
If by that you mean it shows the desktop wallpaper, bit does not mirror the computers monitor, then take a look at this article.
How to use multiple displays with your Mac
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5019
If there is no video at all from the computer to the display, then I suggest the troubleshooting outlined in this article named Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573.
All the best,
Sterling

    The router might be bad or incompatible, but let's be optimistic.
    On System Preferences, go to Network/Advanced/PPP. Only two items should be checked: Connect Automatically When Needed and Disconnect when switching user accounts. Uncheck everything else. Now, click Okay on the end of the page. The next time you're online, you shouldn't be disconnected.
    If you still get disconnected like before, we might be dealing with a router issue - which can get rather complicated.

  • Why does my mac book pro not show in 1080p on my flat screen

    why does my mac book pro not show in 1080p on my flat screen. My mac bookpro always showed in 1080p on a Sanyo Plasma screen. Now when I connect mac book pro I get a blank screen. It will display in 720 but not 1080p. Also will show in 1080i but pictures flicker.

    davenug,
    given how much we currently know about your MacBook Pro, why do you think that we would know the reason? Please help us to help you by providing relevant information about your MacBook Pro — which model is it? Which version of OS X is installed on it? Is its battery fully charged? Is its AC charger working properly? &c.

  • Wifi On Mac Book Pro Not Connecting

    The wifi I am about to lose my mind! The wifi  on my mac book pro will not connect to my home router. I had this problem when I moved in (2 months ago) and the solution would be to unplug the router and the cable modem and plug them back in a few minuets later. However, that fix is no longer working. My network has a password protected option and one without a password. I can connect to the password protected option fine. However, after a period of time that ranges from a few seconds to a few minuets I will get a pop up that says "connection time out has occurred" and I will no longer have internet connection. I have to go back to the wifi icon on the top tool bar and reselect the network. This happens non-stop. When I try to connect to the other password-protected network I will enter my password and it says connection time out has occurred and will not connect. If I enter the wrong password it just says invalid password. EVERYTHING else I own works on the network. My roku, ipod, ipad, kindle, galaxy 4, my roomate's iPhone, and both my roomates' laptops (neither are macs). It is not a matter of there  being too much traffic on the network (like Apple suggested) because I have disconnected literally everything else just to see if it would work and it still did not. My internet works fine when I am on my college campus, but when I go other places like Starbucks or the air port I do notice that my internet is substantially slower then the people sitting next to me.
    So I called Apple because I bought the extended apple care. They went through their long list of troubleshooting...it all failed...so naturally they concluded that it must be the router that’s causing the problems.
    Its not the router. Everythign else works on the network. There is post after post on here about the same exact thing happening to literally hundreds of other people. It is a brand new router. And at my last apartment wifi was included in the rent (so it was the apartment's router not one I bought) and the same problem still occurred (Apple has record of this because I called them then too). At my old apartment I resorted to just plugging it in the wall with an Ethernet cord but unfortunately, that is not an option at my new house.
    Apple said that I can bring it in and have them look at it but it’s obviously going to work there and I really do not have time to drive all the way there for them to just tell me that since it works there it must be router's fault when I know its not.
      Has anyone had any luck in dealing with Apple and Apple Care in regards to this issue

    It would help us to know which model computer you have, which OS version you're using, how much RAM (if applicable), etc. You can have this info displayed on the bottom of every post by completing your system profile and filling in the information asked for.
    This will help in providing you with the correct troubleshooting solutions.  The more info about your computer you include, the easier it is to help you.
    If you do not know the model of your Mac, you can check under Apple Menu/About This Mac -  which is located in the upper left hand corner of your Finder.

  • Mac book pro not going to sleep

    mac book pro when put to sleep, the monitor turns off, but the light does not indicate sleep mode, I can hear the motor running and it is warm, indicating it is not sleeping.  It is an early 08 mac book pro, running Lion, completely updated.
    Anyone aware of this issue?  Apprectiate any insight.
    Thanks
    JT

    Are you **** closing the lid to put it tp sleep? It might be operating in clamshell mode for some reason. Try the drop down menu for the Apple and click sleep, or option, command ,eject.
    You can check your login items under accounts, and get rid of all those, by highlighting and using the - sign, it could also be a bluetooth item tha is keeping your mac from sleeping, a phone headset, mouse, etc. If it is a blurtooth yhing turn off blurtoth till you need it.

  • Why does my mac book pro 2012 15" w/ retina display run slow during a video game and then an SMC reset seems to fix it temporarily?

    When I begin to play Diablo 3 with my fairly new 15" mac book pro with retina display, every now and then my computer will be really laggy when playing it (frame rate of under 5). Normally its performance is really fast with a frame rate of about 40-60 frames per second depending on the resolution used. When this happens I have performed a SMC reset and it fixed the problem. However, every few days it will act up again and I will have to do an SMC reset again. It has now happened again for the third time and I am affraid to continue to perform an SMC reset, is this bad for my computer? Should I take it in and have them trouble shoot it? Any help would be greatly appreciated to figure out what is wrong. Thanks.

    So this is what I got when I took my computer into the apple store to have it diagnosed.
    After the apple technician performced several tests, the only thing that fixed the issue was an SMC reset. Based on this he figures it is probably a software or firmware issue that is going on. He is a little concerend how ever that the fans of the comupter don't reach maximal rpm when the computer is displaying the issue. So he recorded the problem, and told me to just perform the SMC reset as needed for the next couple months and wait for a new update from apple. If the issue persists I am to go back to the apple store and they will take the appropriate steps.
    He said an SMC reset doesn't hurt the computer in any way, so its safe to do. I am gonna contact blizzard and let them know about the issue as well because if it is software, it could be their game (Diablo 3) that is causing the issue as well. If I hear of anything new i will let you know. So get on the blizzard form and let them know of the issue to fix the problem faster.
    Thanks for your help,

  • Mac book pro not syncing

    My mac book is not syncing. When I click on the circular arrows at the top of the screen it gives me a message hat no devices are syncing. Please help.

    Not syncing to what? You need to be more descriptive and provide information in as much as no one here is sitting next to you and your Mac nor are we omniscient.

  • Mac Book Pro not working replaced logic board

    Hi all,
    My Mac Book Pro died on me about 2 weeks ago. I was using it like I normally do and then suddenly an error message came up on the screen and a white transparent screen came from the top of the screen to the bottom. Then it shut off. After that we tried resetting the PRAM and tried booting it from a Snow Leopard disk. The machine won't chime. It does spin a disk in the drive though, but there is no video either.
    I brought it in to an apple store and they said it was the logic board. I purchased a new logic board , installed it and the symptoms are the same. Does anyone know what the problem could be?

    I purchased a new logic board , installed it

  • Macbook aluminium unibody (not pro) not recognizing my cinema display

    hi guys, i have an issue as you can read on this topic, i just purchased a macbook aluminium, and tried to connect my cinema display with the mini displayport to dvi, and does not work at all. when i connect the adapter it seems the machine suddently recognize that theres an external monitor hooked, but the display doesnot show any image. i went to preferences and noticed that the display was not there. my display is an adc connector with the adc dvi adapter. any help

    it´s the large one, the one you connect to the adc port and goes to the wall for power, and has a usb cable extension, and a dvi in, the i connect the the mini displayport adapter to the dvi of the adapter and just happen like when you press f7 (in older mac) to choose if you want to mirror the display or not, thats makes me think that maybe something is wrong (the adapter you said), the only thing is that i dont have another dvi monitor to make a test
