Best Docking station Yogo 2 Pro

I've seen recommendations for the Plugable UD-3900
Anything else people are having good luck with?
Need to run 2 monitors, USB keyboard/mouse, network.

So just picked up a Yoga 2 Pro 13 from bestbuy, they had it marked down since a newer model was out but im thinking about returning it.
My model has the QHD+ display and I use photoshop and dreamweaver a lot but the whole resolution and scaling thing seems to just not work well with every application. In order to use the apps I need I have to bump the resolution down to 1080 which is fine but then text is blurry and hard to read no what I do with the settings.
Im really dissapointed to be honest. The screen also has a small amount of light bleed in the corners and I have one "unkown device" in control panel even though all the drivers are installed and up to date.
The replaement model that Best Buy carries is a regular 1080 display and a 500gb hybrid drive instead of hte SSD like this one has.
I wanted to like this laptop so much but what where they thinking with putting a display like that inside this thing.
The sccling issues is not the fault of the laptop or Windows 8, It is the Software manufacturers that has not implemented support for the Ultra high displayes. Yes, it can be a pain and difficult to read.
I had a driver issue also, perhaps not the same as you, but I think uninstalling it and rebooting fixed it. I think it had to do with bluetooth, intel has updated driver on their site (Intel 7260 N Bluetooth/ WiFi combo card)
You may consider the Yoga 2 13 (non pro version), it has a 1080P display and is a bit thicker. I comes with an 500GB HDD, and I don't know if there is an SSD option. No SSD would be a deal breaker for me, I would want to upgrade it to SSD if I went that route.

HT2494 docking station Mac Book Pro. What is available?

docking station Mac Book Pro. What is available? I plug 6 things everyday into my MacBook Pro, I heard there was a docking station available any pointers would be helpful.

Google "MacBook Pro Docking station" you will get many hits, it is a question of what you need for input type (USB, Thunderbolt, firewire...) and number and types of outputs. Too broad of a question to offer up any direct answer.
Do some research, you will probably find something that fits your needs, or maybe most of them.

Problem installing universal docking station mac book pro

Running parallels, windows xp pro. I have installed the drivers and software for the targus universal docking station. Keep getting an error message that " all usb ports are currently being used" Then it flips from windows back to mac os. there is nothing in the usb ports except for the usb cable for the docking station. Can anyone help?
Thanks!

iOffice,
What does your question have to do with installing a docking station to a MacBook Pro...the topic of this discussion?
Please don't "thread-jack" other people's discussion by asking a totally unrelated question. Start a new topic where more people will see it.
Also, the answer to your question in is yes.

What's the best docking station for Home Stereo

We currently have an old 200 CD player and would like to deep six it. So, I'm looking to find out what the best (or decent) docking station to hook up to our stereo receiver, and if any of you guys have replaced your cd player with an Ipod.
We have a 4th Gen Nano, but since it is always on the go, we may just end up getting a newer Nano or classic to hook up to the stereo.
Any recommendations will be appreciated. Thank you

depends
some people dock to
sync with their computer
some to charge
some to use audio out
the answer to your question really comes down to what you are trying to do

Best MacBook Air Docking Station

I am planning on buying the top shelf 13" MacBook Air this weekend to use as my primary pc at college. I was wondering what is the best docking station for
the macbook air, besides the Apple Display. I am looking for features such as 7 usb ports, ethernet port, audio in/out, and firewire. I am fully prepared to pay
around 100$ for a dock, but I don't know which one is the best. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Like would a USB Port Replicator be a better option?
-thanks, Jake

At this point in time the ACD is likely the only game in town that will deliver everything you're looking for with a single (not counting the magsafe connection) point of connectivity.
There are many decent USB hubs out there, not many USB to FW options that I'm aware of though and the display port connection is another story in itself.
There are some nice docking options for MBP's that do all you're looking for and they are elegant in their simplicity made possible by the all left side connections of the MBP design and the native FW.
The Air design is problematic for simple docking as the connections are both left and right. This isn't out yet, but looks promising. http://www.bookendzdocks.com/
Good luck with your studies.

Software for HDD docking station

Hi!
I have Rosewill USB 3.0 hdd docking station and Macbook Pro 2012.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182269
I want to create a backup of my current HDD or create an image of the drive. Next, I want to transfer the drive image to the empty SSD.
Do I need any software to clone my HDD from Macbook Pro?
What soft would you recommend?

You can just use Disk Utility. I, however, prefer Carbon Copy Cloner for cloning devices (and to be honest, the only reason I do prefer CCC is becasue it's fast and idiot-proof).
They have a 30-day free trial. Then you can decide whether to buy or not. I use it as one of my backup schemes so I bought it.

I need help. I need a KVM to switch between my Mac Pro and my IBM ThinkPad (docking station).

I need help. I need a KVM to switch between my Mac Pro and my IBM ThinkPad (docking station).
Best Buy (only local option) has only a VGA / USB from iogear that scroll lock doesn't work on the Mac and low and behold I'm a d.a. and didn't notice VGA, ie: want/need DVI.
I don't game on my Mac or do high-end video editing but don't want to step down the video quality too much.
Appreciate all of the forthcoming advice.

I guess I should have clarified and said "can you please share what you've used and been successful with"
Two that I have been considering are:
ConnectPRO
http://www.connectpro.com/prod_kvm_usb12plusDvi.html
IOGear
http://www.iogear.com/solutions/kvm/?view=displayDVI
If you do the Belkin KVM wizard, as soon as you reference a Mac, they only support VGA and I am not sure why. http://www.belkin.com/kvm/
Thanks for the effort.

Dell Venue 11 Pro Tablet Docking Station - Dock Firmware won't update or output to any monitor

Hi,
Just bought a Dell Venue 11 Pro Tablet Docking Station and it won't output to any monitor via HDMI or Displayport.
I've tried updating the firmware to V02 and V03. I get the message:
Current On-Board Firmware is 0.41.9
Do you want to update with firmware version 0.41.23 (V03) 0.41.19 (V02)
When I select yes I get the following error:
Error: Please unplug the power connector from the Dell desktop dock for 15 seconds, then plug the power connector back into the Dell desktop dock and try again.
This I keep repeating but it will not update.
The model number of the dock is: K10A001.
The only other thing I notice is that the power adapter does not appear the same as any of the pictures I have seen and is a Dell 74VT4 (65w) which seems be for a Dell XPS 18 (1810).
Please help as I think this may need to be sent back.
Thanks.

Hello,
I've exactly the same problem. I've also the model number K10A001 and the current Firmware 0.41.9, and it is also not possible for me to flash the docking station.
This is also problematic because only one monitor of the two connected monitors works. An this monitor shows only a picture, if it is plugged, after the dockingstation and the Venue 11 Pro has been started.
I think there is maybe an improved flash utility required in order to allow to flash the docking station? If some one had succeeded please respond.
Thank you

I am having trouble getting my My Mac Book Pro 15" Retina to wake up with an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse while Docked in a Hengedock vertical docking station.

I am having trouble getting my My Mac Book Pro 15" Retina to wake up with an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse while Docked in a Hengedock vertical docking station. The Keyboard and mouse work great with the laptop lid open but when closed in the docking station the bluetooth signal does not seem to transmit. Is there a setting that can be changed to allow an Bluetooth keyboard and mouse to wake the computer while docked?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

How do I get Elements to occupy full screen on my macbook pro? - the docking station remains visible and I don't want to have the dock in hide mode?

How do I get Elements to occupy full screen on my macbook pro? - the docking station remains visible and I don't want to have the dock in hide mode?

Unfortunately, there is no answer to this problem via this link. It may be that this is simply how the software actually works. It is a design fault in Adobe Photoshop Elements. It is possible to temporarily hide the dock within 'system preferences'. Oh well. Someone may know better.... I hope!

Macbook Pro 2013 with two external monitors (Docking station)?

Hi there,
I am currently using an iMac 27 2013, but have come to the conclusion that a Macbook Pro 13" would suit my needs better as I now often need a mobile solution.
However, when at home, I would like to hook it up to my two external Dell (Mini DP) monitors in order to have more workspace.
For that, I am looking for some kind of Docking Station because it would be awesome just to have to plug in one cable and not all the USB cables for my other stuff, like midi keyboard etc.
Is there something I can purchase that offers me all I need or would you rather stay with the iMac?
Thank you!

Maybe someone with a 2010 model will jump in and correct me, but as you only have a single Mini DsplayPort adapter, I don't think that it's possible to have two external models on a 2010 model. You can only do it on 2011+ via Thunderbolt using Thunderbolt Displays.
You might want to ask your question in the Apple Cinema Display forum, though. I'm just not aware that it can be done.

Docking Station for the MacBook and MacBook Pro

Check it... I've been waiting for one of these. A bit pricey, but worth it. I'm so sick of the wire exchange every time I take the laptop somewhere...

Adam,
I saw your post and what you have sounds like what I am looking for. What is the cooling device that you have called? I want something I can plug everything into and leave it hooked up and then have one plug/cord into my computer. It sounds like what you did.

WinXP Pro laptop & docking station do not correctly see PCI1411

I have a Dell Precision laptop and a Dell PD01X docking station. I am trying to install a PCI-1411 card but it shows up as a PCI Multimedia Video card. I did install the card before installing the software but have since taken the card out, uninstalled the card under Windows system and tried reinstalling it. Windows doesn't seem to find the IMAQ driver(s) and I can't point it to the installation disk that came with the board. I also have LV7 and vision tools installed.

I would try uninstalling the NI-IMAQ driver, reinstall NI-IMAQ, and then reinstall the card. Remove NI-IMAQ using Add or Remove Programs in the Windows Control Panel. If you were not already using the most current version of the driver, version 2.6.1, I also recommend that you upgrade to this driver. You can download NI-IMAQ 2.6.1 from the NI website at: Drivers & Updates: NI-IMAQ 2.6.1 This is a full installation, so it would be used in place of the older driver you may have.
I hope this helps! If the problem persists, please contact National Instruments technical support directly.

Satellite Pro U200 - Docking Station

Can you purchase a docking station for the Satellite Pro U200?
If so, please can you pass on a link? or the Model numbers etc.
Thank you for your help in advance.

Hi Adam
I have answered your first question about Portg docking station.
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=17291
There you will find the link to the Options and Accessories site.
On this Toshiba site you will be able to find the compatible and supported devices.
If your notebook supports a slot at the bottom for a connection to the port replicator so you can use the docking station or port replicator as a additional device.
