12" 1.5Ghz PB connected to 24" Dell

Hello,
I have my 24" Dell for a little less than a week and love it. Powerbook handles it great. However when I play a dvd movie I don't feel it looks as good as it should. I searched to see if I could download new drivers but it doesn't look like nvideo puts them out. Could the pb's video card just not be enough? Also I was wondering how hot can the graphics processor get? When I run a screen saver it gets up to 64 degrees Celcius. Shouldn't that be still be in the safe range? So I just have the monitor go to sleep rather than a screensaver... I figure it's easier on the pb.

Hey sorry about the delay on the post. I really love the combo. I don't really notice much of a glad.. like when i bring up the widgets etc. It's very smooth. However the only thing I worry about is that fan is always on. But that might just be the powerbook... last time i had the powerbook just powering it's own lcd screen it ran at the same temp.
Anyway I love the combo. I got a bluetooth keyboard from apple and a logitch wireless mouse and it pretty much feels like a desktop. If you have anymore questions feel free to ask.

    It has DVI ports.  This means you are best to use an adapter that supports DVI.  Note there is no audio that carries over DVI.  What you need is a mini-Displayport to DVI adapter, and the proper DVI cable. Since Dell doesn't have the specs, you'll need to tell us if you have pins or holes, and how many are grouped.

    Not all USB ports provide enough power to charge the iPad. It may charge very slowly while the screen is off. Charge it using the included charger and you should be fine.

  • Can an ipad connect to a dell printer?

    I just bought my ipad, but I'm not sure if it will connect to my dell printer. I know I can download an app to print but im not sure which ones will allow access to a dell printer, if any will. Help!!

    There are a number of third party apps that will work with your printer, I'm sure. Take a look at some these.

    Thanks for your prompt reply. I'm not sure how to connect to the monitor as the only ports available on this model mac are Thunderbolt. The mini display to display cable supplied doesn't seem to work out of the TB port. Do I need to use a Thunderbolt cable + an adaptor?

  • Trying to Print from a Mac to a Canon iP4200 connected to a Dell

    I just picked up a MacBook Pro this summer and have been trying to get it to print on a Canon iP4200 printer. It is connected to a Dell desktop with XP. The communication is through a wireless network. The Mac thinks it is sending the print through the network and thinks it is working. However, the Dell and printer never receive it.

    It still may not work down to the Canon drivers, ensure that you have the latest Canon drivers.
    It should work with the PrintFab Drivers (but these cost).

  • W2k8 rs losing connection to network (DELL servers broadcom NIC's)

    from the old w2k8r2 networking forum
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/windowsserver2008r2networking/thread/8cbc6a56-3847-4afd-aa46-8be1cf69bd9b
    Still having the issue using the built in Broadcom Nic's have switched to an Intel 4 port Nic and so far haven't any issues.  Trouble is I have 4 more servers all R410's to be loaded up with w2k8r2 and I don't want to go out an buy another 4 Intel Nic's

    Hi All,
    I am having the same problem on DELL T320 with onboard dual-port Broadcom NetXtreme 5720 Gigabit Ethernet Nic running on Wiondows 2012 Server.
    The server would lose network connection within 3 to 4 days and either have to reset the NIC's or reboot.
    Did anyone find a fix? or do i have the bite the bullet and buy new some Intel cards?
    Thanks
    ECL
    I have a client with a Dell T420 and a Netextreme 5720 and the same issue. Unfortunately, this is a "me too" post, for now. I'm going to try the Broadcom drivers today, but I thought I'd add a the following:
    The client reports that their server is down (which is very disturbing since it's a new server). The problem started after moving the server into it's final location and connecting to the Dell 24port gigabit switch (the inexpensive web-managed one). The
    first time they reported it the network configuration appeared to have been changed. The first NIC which had been configured to be shared between HyperV and the local host had no IP information; and the second which was a member of a dedicated virtual switch
    was not working. I changed the first NIC to local OS only (deleting the virtual switch) and put the VM on the second dedicated virtual switch.
    The next day, the server was down. I drove over and the physical computer was online but the VM was not. So, suspecting the second port, I once again configured the primary port to be a member of a virtual switch shared with the local OS. I deleted the dedicated
    virtual switch and disabled the second NIC. Of course, I set the VM to use the new shared virtual switch.
    For the rest of the day, and the day after, no issues.  Then, this morning, the client reported that the server was down. I had one of them power-cycle the Dell switch and everything came back.  Interestingly, I have the physical machine pinging
    the virtual machine and it never lost a packet - but that could be some Windows 2K12 magic as they were on the same NIC.
    So, I'll head over there today and install the latest Broadcom Drivers and see what happens.

  • Which video out (HDMI or Thunderbolt) will give me the best experience connecting to a Dell U2713H?

    And also, which cable would you recommend?
    (Dell U2713H uses DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort for Video in and has 2560x1440 resolution.)
    I would like to achieve the best possible connection.
    Thanks,
    Johan
    ps. I use a macbookpro with retinadisplay mid 2012.

    Thanks.
    Are you aware of difficulties that seem to be rife when connecting for example Dell monitors to mbp?
    Typically people often say that they don't get maximum resolution. What can I do to avoid that, or is it a problem of the past? I don't want to buy an Apple display as I want to be able to turn the screen vertically.
    Any suggestions? Thanks again.

  • I have a 15in MBP late 2013 w/ Mavericks installed.  At work, I was hoping to dock the MBP and connect to dual Dell P2414H monitors.

    To do so I purchased (2) DisplayPort to HDMI cables and (1) Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter.  As for setup, I have one monitor directly connected to the HDMI port on the MBP and the other monitor connect to the Thunderbolt adapter. 
    I am getting no signal whatsoever on either monitor.  I've ensured that each monitor is set to DisplayPort.  I can understand a signal issue existing between the monitor and the adapter, but I cannot understand the issue with the monitor connected directly to the MBP via the HDMI port.  I checked System Report > Hardware > Thunderbolt and my Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter shows, but port2 contains no connected device (this is where the Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter is plugged).  Does anyone know where I can check the status of the HDMI port?
    I'm hoping that the issue isn't as blunt as the monitors not being compatible with the MBP.  I've used my previous MBP with another, older, Dell monitor via a Thunderbolt to VGA adapter with no issue whatsoever.  I've scoured the interwebs with the hopes of finding someone with a similar issue, but I've found nobody.

    When the dock is defined as on the bottom, it will appear on the screen of the extended desktop that is lowest.
    Move the second monitor where the bottom edges are equal or the Dell is lower and the dock will move there.

  • Bad image quality when connecting an external Dell 30" monitor. Why?

    I recently bought the latest Mac Book Pro Retina 15. It's running the nVidia M750 2gb card I believe.
    I'm trying to hook it up to my Dell 30" desktop monitor which runs my desktop computer perfectly well. I'm using a cheap Mini Displayport to Displayport cable which to do this. It's working except the image is slightly fuzzy, as though the resolution is just a couple pixels off native res. Could it be the cable being cheap? (I couldn't find proper ones when I bought this one) Or should I be connecting the screen via a different method? I obviously need the full 2560 x 1600 resolution.
    Thanks,
    Simon

    Sure.
    Here are the specs on a Moshi Mini DP to HDMI Adapter
    You can see Supports full HD display at 1080p (1920 x 1080).
    So no go there...
    Altaz Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort Adapter for Apple MacBook
    So that would work for you. Review on link:
    I recently bought one of these to try out with an Apple unibody (late 2008) MacBook Pro and a Dell 3008WFP 30" display.
    Dell's web site advertised the 3008WFP as requiring Dual Link DVI to work at full resolution (which is certainly partly true, as normal DVI can't drive 2560x1600 displays). Given that DisplayPort is rated up to 2560x1600 I was hoping that this adapter would allow my MBP to drive the display at full resolution without requiring Apple's MiniDisplayPort to Dual Link DVI converter.
    It works flawlessly for me.
    So make sure you look for a cable that is rated above 1920 x 1200.
    There are some examples here: http://daggle.com/macbook-run-2560-1440-monitor-2324

  • Airport Extreme 5GHz network connection failed

    Hi,
    I have a PC, MBP mid-2012, Ipad, HTC One, Samsung S3, and Chromecast. I bought an airport extreme 3 weeks ago, and a Netgear AC usb wifi adapter to my PC. Until two days ago, everything worked fine. I had two networks with different names for the 2,4GHz and the 5GHz. I did i because it was the only way I found to get my gadgets and computers to connect on 5GHz. Otherwise, they all connected in 2.4GHz.
    Two days ago, I could no longer connect by MBP nor the PC to the 5GHz network. The MBP sees it, but gives an error when I try to connect. The PC does not even see it. The Ipad and both android phones connect to the 5GHz with no issue.
    I already tried to turn on and off the airport express, to disable the dual network and reconfigure it, and to specify a channel for it. No change. Can you please help me to understand what is happening and find a solution?
    Thanks a lot.

    I believe it has something to do with securing the network as I'm now running an unsecured network and it not only stays up but it also seems a bit faster. I even ran the Airport Utility via ethernet and got it to "almost" configure but for some reason the setting never got implemented but at least I have internet access in my entire house. I thought it might be interference with some part of the house but it is indeed due to the latest firmware update for the AEB. Which I now call AE"BS". I tried my older Airport Express but I also couldn't get it to configure to now I'm not even sure if its firmware on the AEB or the Airport Utility that is messed up. Going tethered is not an option as I don't want to hunker down in a closet! Go unsecured and it might fix a lot of the issues we are seeing.

  • Connecting Macbook to Dell U2312HM Monitor

    I'm interested in connecting the Dell U2312HM monitor to my Macbook OS X Version 10.6.8.
    How do I do it? What are the parts that I need to buy?
    Thank you.

    That monitor has Displayport and DVI ports.   Not knowing your age of MacBook it is hard to say what connector you can use.
    Go to System Profiler and lookup your machine identifier.
    It should say something like MacBook 4,1.
    For these models, you'll need both the cables linked below from Apple and Staples:
    MacBook 1,1 through 4,x and 5,2 use a mini-DVI connector and will not directly connect audio to it.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9321G/B/apple-mini-dvi-to-dvi-adapter
    http://www.staples.com/office/supplies/StaplesProductDisplay?storeId=10001&catal ogIdentifier=2&partNumber=972599
    For these Macs, use the cable linked to below their machine identifer:
    5,1 and 6,1 have mini-Displayport connector but no audio directly over it.
    7,1 has audio over mini-Displayport. 
    http://www.cablesforless.com/15-Foot-Mini-DisplayPort-to-HDMI-Cable-P7063.aspx
    USB connectivity on the display may not work, unless you can find a cable that includes USB support with the other ports.  Often dual link connectors have USB cable support, and are more expensive.
    Note: If you have an Air or Pro, please specify that as the connectors are different for those models.

  • G5 Connecting to Dual Dell Monitors

    hello,
    this is a no brainer for most, but i am new to Mac. I have 2 Dell Monitor i want to hook them up to my Mac G5. I have those white DVI to VGA convertors i connected to the end of the Dell monitors and hooked up to the G5. I'm not getting any picture on either one of them. Can someone please tell me how i can hook both monitors up to my G5? Thank you so much..
    Jeremy

    Do the Dell monitors have multiple inputs? If so, you need to change the input settings to match how it's physically connected. For example, on my Dell 2405FPW, I have to set it to "Input 2" as that's the DVI input.
