Need Win XP to recognize external monitor connected to Macbook in BootCamp

I have a Macbook running Leopard connected to an external monitor. When I close the lid, it goes to sleep and I can click mouse or spacebar on keyboard to wake it up and show the image on the external monitor. Can't achieve the same thing in Win XP on the BootCamp side. How to do it?

Just for clarification, when running XP in Boot Camp can you now auto wake the laptop in XP? By doing what? Mouse, keyboard, bluetooth? Not knowing this has stopped me from buying a MacBook Pro. Would really like to know how this works. Thanks in advance.

  • IChat disconnects when external monitor connected to Macbook Pro.

    Downloaded latest OSX patch last week (Thunderbolt patch).  Now, when connecting my HP external monitor to my Macbook Pro (2011), iChat will only stay connected for 2 to 3 minutes.  If I disconnect my external monitor, iChat will stay connected all day long.  This just started last week after loading the latest SW upgrade.  Any ideas?

    Hi,
    I am not going to be much use here.
    I don't have a computer with Thunderbolt.
    The computer I do run a second screen on is a G4 running Leopard and in the Energy Saver there is no setting for the second screen to be set independently than the main screen.
    I think it may pay to ask again in the Lion Forum Community.

  • External Monitors connected to MacBook Air keep turning off

    Prior to getting my MacBook Air, I was using a MacBook Pro connected to 2 external monitors (same signal, just split using DVI splitter). There were never any issues with this setup, but the same can't be said of the MacBook Air.
    When I used "detect displays" I was able to see the external monitor listed under the menu bar icon but the monitors remained black.
    Unplugging and re-pluggin in the mini DVI adapter to the MacBook Air bought the monitors up, but after a few minutes, they'd go black again, and selecting "detect displays" had no affect.
    Is this related to the power output level differences between the Air and the Pro?
    For reference, the monitors are really really old Cinema Displays -- ADC connector actually -- so I am not only splitting the signal with a DVI splitter, but also using ADC to DVI adapters between the monitors and splitter.
    I also tried connecting just 1 monitor, but the same behavior persists.
    Appreciate any insight

    This may not help you, but I have got the same issues with my MBA when connecting it to my Acer XD 1250 projector and my Belinea 22" LCD via VGA. I also got the MBA exchanged because the MDP was completely broken and had the Logicboard replaced after that so I'm actually on my 3rd MBA 11"...This is so annoying....

  • X240 (Win 8.1) w/ Ultra Dock and two external monitors connected via DisplayPort problem

    I'm having trouble making this combination work. This Ultra Dock does have two DP connectors, computer sees both external monitors (HP ZR24w) but I cannot get any picture on both at the same time using DP. Sometimes one display does work, but that is not always working.
    When I connect same monitors via VGA/DSUB and DP (with Lenovo DPtoDVI converter) I can get this to work - both same time - , but I'd prefer them both digital and both native DP as both monitors do have that port.
    Ultra Dock does already have the latest firmware and this problem seems to not relate to the flickering problem with T440 etc. X240 is also running latest UEFI/BIOS and I've also tried latest Intel Beta display driver, no effect.

    Let me start by saying that the internal and both external monitors work simultaneously. However, getting to that state is the problem.
    I can boot successfully with the laptop in the dock with 1) just the internal monitor, or 2) the internal and one external monitor connected.
    However, if I try to boot with both monitors connected via DVI, the following happens:
    Windows logon screen appears -- but there is no cursor on the screen
    I enter the password and the login continues for 30-60 seconds, then
    Blue screen SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION for nvlddmkm.sys with STOP x0000003B
    Lenovo has replaced the dock with no change in behavior.
    Drivers and BIOS are current.
    Most recent change was to set BIOS so Win 7 automatically detects Nvidia Optimus.
    At this point, my best workaround is to disconnect one external monitor whenever I need to reboot, and then connect it again after everything is runing. Not terrible... but it really shouldn't be necessary. Any suggestions?
    If you want to drive the monitors in the manner stated, the BIOS Display property must be set to Discrete and the auto detection below it must be disabled.

    I connected an external monitor to my MacBook Pro, but it doesn't open any programs. It Just sits there with a blank screen.  How do I get it to open programs and act like a monitor?

    Dear Jean:
    It sounds like you are trying to get your external monitor to act as the primary viewing screen. For example it would have your Doc, Icons, Etc. In order to make the external monitor the primary screen you have to:
    Open System Preferences.
    Choose the Displays Icon
    There will be several tabs to choose from pick Arrangement
    Drag the toolbar to desired display
    Let me know if this helps at all!

  • Yosemite Won't Shutdown With External Monitor Connected

    Hi there...
    I have a MBP 2010 and I've updated Yosemite from Mavericks. Now I'm running the latest 10.10.2.
    Ever since I updated to Yosemite, I have had this problem of my computer won't shutdown when an External monitor is connected. This happens only when I put my computer to sleep.However, if I restart the computer and after logged in to the user and tried to shutdown, it shutdown without any problem. Every time I shutdown it just hangs and I had to force shutdown by press and hold the power button. Which I'm sure is not a proper way.
    Right now only my external monitor connected to my MBP. So I did unplugged the ext. monitor and tried shutdown and it works fine. But it think this is the temporary solution that I've found but it is annoying to unplug everytime I wanted to shutdown and plug it back in once the computer is up and running. Which is not idle solution at all.
    Am I the only one or a lot of people facing this issue? If there is a solution please share. Very much appreciated. Thanks.

    Updated to 10.10.3 and the problem still persist. Still unable to shutdown or restart after wake up from sleep.
    Any one affected? Is it something to do with Gfx card?

  • Second iMac as external monitor; Connection via firewire without a deck/cam

    Second iMac as an external monitor; Connection by firewire without a deck/camera possible?
    I spend a lot of hours to find an answer to the following question, unfortunately without any success:
    I’m working with a new iMac (Intel, OS 10.4.11) and Final Cut. Additionally I have an old iMac (G3, OS 10.3.9).
    I would like to use the FireWire port to transport a dv video stream from the new iMac/Final Cut to the old one so that the old one can be used as a monitor. So all I want is a software for the old iMac that shows an incoming FireWire dv-stream as a live picture.
    I tried vlc, videoviewer, iMovie, Vidi and btv. The problem is always the same: Final Cut (on the new iMac) does not find any FireWire/dv-device nor do all these software on the old iMac find a connection to Final Cut. I think the problem is that both sides are seeking for a device-setup at the FireWire-port on the other side. And none of them sends a signal like „yes I’m here and waiting for a dv-stream“.
    Another attempt was ScreenRecycler with VNC-client on the old iMac. Unfortunately on my old iMac Os 10.3.9 is the last possible OS and no vnc client on that system is fast enough to show a video in real time.
    I also tried virtualDV from Apples FireWire SDK 20. It works so far, that it claims to be a dv-device (on the old iMac) and so Final Cut at the new iMac says: „okay I’ll deliver you that stream“. The problem now is that virtualDV only can record that stream, not show it in real time.
    Is there any solution like virtualDV that shows a live preview and turns the iMac in a FireWire dv-device?
    Is there any solution that Final Cut simulates to be a FireWire dv-device itself and that another computer finds that device and understand the dv-stream?
    Thank you very much for your help.

    Don't think this is possible.
    You're better off using a DAC (for example the one made by Canopus) and put your DV in and get a compatible signal out the other end for connection to your monitor.
    I don't understand why you would want to go through a computer first, it would be a waste of time and add a huge delay to the signal.
    Finally, I wouldn't use a computer monitor as an external display, it would be useless in my experience. Why not just preview on the one you've got by going full screen in FCP? Also using a computer monitor as a preview/output monitor is not a good idea since it's so different from a normal TV and won't show the correct colour space or issues such as flickering and interlace problems, underscan etc etc.
    Seems like you're using a sledgehammer to crack a very small nut and that would be to use a DV camera via firewire and then connect up a monitor from that. (again using a convertor box if you have a connection problem.)

  • External webcam on external monitor connected to mac

  • Busted screen, external monitor connection won't work

    My PowerBook G4 screen busted a year ago after it fell off a table. I had been successful is using an external monitor up until a couple weeks ago. I have tried a couple monitors and cannot see anything but a white screen. I know a signal is getting from the Mac to the monitor, but only a white screen.
    Any ideas on how to get an external monitor connection again?
    Thanks.

    Hi, Bob.
    I know a signal is getting from the Mac to the monitor...
    How do you know that? Does the external monitor display something other than a white screen at any point during the startup process? In other words, can you really be sure the Mac is ever sending anything other than plain white to the monitor?
    As louie says, there's almost no testing you can do without a working display.
    What changed a couple of weeks ago, just before you started having this problem with the external monitor? Had you moved the computer and/or the monitor, connected any new devices, disconnected the monitor, upgraded your OS, etc.?

  • How do I configure my timecapsule to back up an external drive connected to macbook?

    How do I configure my timecapsule to back up an external drive connected to macbook?

    First, insure that the external drive has been formatted in Mac OS Extended Journaled
    If it's not, and you already have data on the drive, you will need to move that data to another temporary storage location....as the format to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) will erase everything on the drive. Once the drive has been formatted, move the data from the temporary storage location back to the external drive
    Click the Time Machine clock icon at the top of the screen
    Click Time Machine Preferences
    Click Options
    Click the name of the external drive to highlight it, and then click the - (minus) button at the bottom of the list to remove the drive from the list of "excluded" items for backup
    The drive will now be backed up by Time Machine on the next and all subsequent backups

  • External monitor for my Macbook pro retina.

    I want to connect a external monitor to my Macbook pro retina. I'm searching for other options than Apple Thunderbolt Display. But in most products the connection is not Thunderbolt. Can I connect my Macbookpro retina to a external monitor through HDMI?
    Woull that me ok for video editing?
    Thank you!

    I don't know that, I'm afraid. I've used an external monitor a few times on my 2011 MBP and it appeared to work perfectly whether in mirrored mode or not, but I'm not able to make time lapse measurements. Many people seem to use the arrangement so I would presume it's fine for video editing, but don't take my word for it.
