My w2207h HP Monitor is not working on my macbook pro with hdmi minidisplayport adapter. On Windows 7 via bootcamp it works. What can i do ?

As is said my HP w2207h monitor is not working with a minidisplayport to hdmi adapter and a hdmi cable which is working fine for my PS3. So the cable is not the problem. And on my TV i also have no problems at all activating a second monitor. Therefore the adapter isnt the problem either. When i plug it in the typical bluescreen appears. Then after a few seconds it appears again and there is no second monitor recognized. I also used the "recognize Monitor" button without success. Please help me, are there any special drivers or something like that ?
PS: bought a high end expensive adapter now because the old one was very cheap. But didnt help. Still stuck on the macbook not recognizing anything !

If you have an external drive you can hook up to the MacBook Pro I believe there *may* be a solution by getting an image to the MacBook Air.
On the MacBook Pro with the Windows install disk in the DVD drive fire up disk utility.  Select the DVD and then hit the "New Image" button.  Disk Utility should offer to create a disk image from the DVD.  I would put that disk image on a USB drive connected to the Pro.  You should be able to mount that image when you connect up to the Air.  Hopefully BootCamp will be able to access that all through the process.
If that doesn't work (the drivers don't recognize the disk image once Windows gets underway for its install), you might try copying the installation files from the DVD to FAT32 formatted USB stick or drive and then using that to install Windows.  I would expect Windows would be able to see the USB FAT32 drive and I don't believe any file on the drive is going to go beyond 4GB. 
I haven't actually tried BootCamp on the Air, since I just use VMWare which has no issue installing from anything OSX can see.  But BootCamp is going to eventually hand off operations to Windows and that's going to complicate matters--Windows has to be able to see the drive.  While I believe there are drivers that let Windows connect to that drive, there's no way to authenticate (or even load the drivers I expect) before Windows itself is loaded--so it's a "chicken/egg" problem.

    Did you download and install the Windows Support software? If you did, did you use the Boot Camp Control icon to set up the trackpad how you want it?

    Help! My Facetime and iMessage just totally stopped working on my MacBook Pro - my wifi is still connected and all other apps/internet are working fine.  What happened??

    Associate your mobile number with your Apple ID, if you haven't already done so.
    Sign out of iMessage on the Mac:
              Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out
    and on the iPhone:
              Settings ▹ Messages ▹ Send & Receive ▹ Apple ID ▹ Sign out
    Then, on the phone, tap
              Use Your Apple ID for iMessage
    Sign back into iMessage on both devices and test. If there's no change, you may have to wait for a change in network conditions.

  • My new (2 weeks old) Macbook Pro, wont send video output signal to beamer... What can I do?  I have the adapter to vga but it does not work...

    Hi, I have a new MacBook Pro and I dont get video output to a beamer although I have the regular
    Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter and it works fine with my older MacBook...
    Thanks a lot for your tips...

    That should work. When you first hook it up it will probably have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. The Menu Bar and Dock will be on the MacBook display and your background screen on the TV but you can move the cursor onto the TV screen.
    In SystemPreferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen. You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
    Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box.
    If you also want audio you'll need audio cables to the TV using a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs. You attach it from the headphone jack of your MacBook to the appropriate input plugs on your TV http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=min i-dvi&x=9&y=13#/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_2_19?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=macboo k+audio+cable&sprefix=macbook+audio+cable&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Amacbook+audio+cable

  • FaceTime not working on 17" macbook pro with Snow Leopard

    I have a 17" macbook pro from around 2008 (2.4 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM) that will not connect using FaceTime.  I tried to call my daughter on her iPod Touch 4G and the call says "Connecting" it rings on both ends, but then my picture freezes and it never completes the connection, just hangs up and says "Call failed". She can facetime her friends with other iPods just fine, so I think the problem is with my mac. I also tried calling to another mac that has facetime working fine, but I could not connect to that one either. Same result...ringing, connecting, screen freeze, drop call, no connection.  I've seen others with this problem on google, but their suggestions have not fixed the problem either.  I even tried deleting facetime and then downloading it again from app store and still same result.  I am able to use skype perfectly fine with this macbook pro, so I don't see it as a camera problem.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    1. The purpose of this test is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The "Guest User" login created by "Find My Mac" is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    2. Connect to a different network, such as a public Wi-Fi hotspot, and try again.

  • My iPod classic is saying "do not disconnect" but neither my MacBook Pro or iTunes is recognizing that it is plugged in.  What can I do?

    About 2 weeks ago my iPod told me that something (I forget what now) was corrupt and my iPod had to be restored to factory settings, so I did that.  Before I had a chance to resync my iPod, my harddrive in my MacBook Pro crashed and had to be replaced.  Now when I try connecting my iPod classic, my iPod says "do not disconnect" but neither my laptop or iTunes is recognizing that my iPod is plugged in.  I have tried using another cord, restarting my iPod, restarting my laptop, iTunes is up to date...what else is there that I can do to get my iPod to connect to my laptop?
    Thanks in advance!

    Try a system reset, hold down the off button until it turns of and then back on again, this might not work though if it is properly stuck. If all else fails go to Apple

  • Does the iTunes Now Playing Dock notification work on the macbook pro with retina display?

    Hi, this command used to work on my old 2011 MacBook Pro, but now when I try it on my new retina display macbook, the Dock resprings everytime i pause or play a song in iTunes.
    defaults write com.apple.dock itunes-notifications -bool TRUE;killall Dock
    is it not compatible with the new retina display OSX Lion?

    This is not a problem with Retina nor Mountain Lion. I have the exact same problem with my MBP 13 inch early 2011 running Lion.
    Everytime I play/pause in iTunes, Finder restarts. Everytime a new song starts playing, Finder restarts.
    I've contacted Apple Support in Denmark, but since I do not have a paid-plan with the Apple Support, the guy sent me instructions on how to reinstall the OS.
    Hope this thread will provide me with more precise answers.

  • External monitor will not sleep using 2012 MacBook Air and HDMI adapter

    I am running a HP 27xi (27" display) using the apple thunderbolt to HDMI adapter, and using a HDMI cable.
    ISSUE:
    I run my 2012 macbook air in "clamshell mode", and solely use the 27" display, which works great. Problem, is when the macbook goes to put the display to sleep, or sleep for the laptop, the display starts to go into power save mode, then flips back on... goes back into power save mode, repeats forever. I called HP, and they said the HDMI signal is not being turned off, hence why the screen keeps going ON, then power save, then repeat. If I shutdown the laptop, then the monitor goes off just fine.
    Anyone else ran into an issue with an external monitor NOT going to sleep when plugged into the HDMI adapter? Someone suggusted that I purchase a DVI-D adapter, and use that cable... but that sounds ridiculous. The HDMI adapter should absolutely work.
    My temporary fix is to turn off the monitor everytime (if i remember) otherwise the display is in this never ending loop of trying to shut down.
    And yes, the Macbook Air is 100% up to date with updates. DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!
    Joe

    Hello Joe,
    I definitely understand your concern regarding your external display not going to sleep and endlessly looping into power save mode when your MacBook Air is asleep. 
    I found an article with steps to troubleshoot issues with displays.  This article is for internal and external displays, so you can skip any steps referring to the internal display.  The following steps specifically stands out to me for the situation you are experiencing:
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.

  • My Keynote does not work on my MacBook Pro with OsX Mavericks. It opens though, but then is stuck, menu does not react. What to do?

    I have Keynote 6.1 and run it on a MacBookPro with OsX Mavericks. I can start Keynote, but I cant access the menu, it is stuck. What to do?

    Try this repair for Keynote 6.2,  ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
    1  delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote, using Appcleaner from Mac Update, its a freeware application
    2  restart the Mac;   Apple menu > restart
    3  immediately after the start chime,  press the shift key until you see the Apple symbol.
             let it fully boot up,  it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
    4  when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive  then First Aid tab and      click  repair disc permissions
    5  when complete, restart the Mac normally
    6  install Keynote from the Mac App Store, it will be updated to the latest verion which is 6.2
    let us know if this helped.

  • Help Help..Can not back up my Macbook Pro with Time Machine

    I have Mac Book Pro Mac OS X version 10.6.8 and Time capsule 802.11n (3rd generation), I used to do back up wirelessly but then it stopped. so i connected it directly to laptop, it did not work. so i did reset on Time Capsule/Machine and didnt work. Show error 1) Time Machine could not comple Back Up (The back disk image "/volume/data/macintosh.sparsebundle"could not be created (error 1) and then different time i tried got different error 2) Time Machine Could Not Complete (the back disk image "/volume/data/macintosh.sparsebundle"couldnot be created (error 60)..please advise

    The TC drive is network and will never show up in disk utility.
    You can mount the sparse bundle into the utility and do a check on it.. but that serves little purpose.
    I used to do back up wirelessly but then it stopped. so i connected it directly to laptop,
    It is highly likely the setup is wrong.
    Please do a full factory reset of the TC.
    The Factory Reset TC Gen1-4. Or AE Gen1-5
    Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on..  all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec.
    Release it when the status light flashes rapidly. If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have missed it and try again.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
    Redo the setup using the airport utility. For older OS and TC you can do this by ethernet with wireless turned off if you like.
    Tell us the main modem router and how the TC was originally setup.. if it was in bridge mode.. then put the TC back in bridge and plug it into the router.
    If there are issues they will show up in the airport utility. Please list any issues it has.

  • Are there any scanners that work on a MacBook Pro with Mac OS 10.7.5?

    I was using a CanoScan Lide 35 scanner on my laptop just fine until a couple of weeks ago and now it is hit and miss with it.  I was looking for a scanner that would be compatible with Mac OS 10.7.5 and I haven't found anything that looks like it works.  I don't have time to read every single Google link that comes up and was hoping that someone here could help me out.  I'm looking for a scanner that is on the low end of the price scale but also good enough to do some graphic work.  I'd appreciate any info I can get.  Thanks!
    Erik

    You will fnd that most scanners from the name brands work...I have an Epson Photo scan that works just fine with Mac OS X 10.7.5, 10.8.5, and 10.9.2...but I always use the included Image Capture application, found in Finder > Applications.
