Broken Display to TV not in Mirror Mode?!?

I have a BlacBook hooked up to my TV and I am able to see an empty desktop (aurora background only)
The LCD is broken on the Mac, so I need to get it into Mirror Mode (rather than Extended Mode, that it appears to be in now)
I've tried F7, but it doesn't seem to be working... any other ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Double_A

Oh Jeez, well I unplugged the display cable and reconnected... it seems to have solved that issue.
Now, it looks like the HD is trashed
Thanks anyway.

  • Air Display 2 only worked on mirror mode not second monitor

    I'm using PC Win 7 enterprise and IPAD Air. IPAD Air installed with Air Display 2.
    The Air Display 2 only worked fine when on 'mirror mode', but not working as secondary monitor. IPAD display colour  in 'blue' and able to activate the keybaord.
    Need tips how to fix the problem to work as extended monitor.

    Hi Nagesh,
        Please check the following sample programs. It uses splitter container. I think this suits your requirement.
    RSDEMO_EASY_SPLITTER_CONTROL
    RSDEMO_SPLITTER_CONTROL
    Sample code:
           split_container_left type ref to cl_gui_container,
           split_container_right type ref to cl_gui_container,
           splitter_h type ref to cl_gui_splitter_container,
           splitter_v type ref to cl_gui_splitter_container,
    create object splitter_h
              exporting
              parent = cl_gui_container=>screen0
              rows = 5
              columns = 5 .
    split_container_left = splitter_h->get_container( row = 1 column = 1 ).
    split_container_right = splitter_h->get_container( row = 1 column = 2 ).
            create object splitter_v
               exporting
               parent = split_container_left
               rows = 5
               columns = 5.
    Please award points if this is useful.

  • ATI Radeon 2600 PROBLEM: First display wide and second not in mirror mode?

    Hi all, I bought a new mac pro with ATI Radeon HD 2600, my problem is this: I have one LCD monitor widescreen 1680x1050 that i use like primary display and one normal CRT television 800x600 that i use like second monior... If i set the "mirror mode" on display the clone reduce automactly my LCD to not wide monitor and i see two black row... Is it possible use the mirror mode in two different monitor? it works only at 1024x768 not 1680x1050 is the video card not enough power? Should be fixed that thing ? Regards
    Message was edited by: egariM

    You did not understand the true intent of mirror displaying, which adjusts to the lower specifications of the two screens. You would not like to see your CRT display have to accept high bandwith 1680x1050 signal and fry would you ?
    Neither is the reduction of the content of a 1680x1050 screen to a 800x600 acceptable, and not only because of the width/height different ratios : text would be pure garbage, except in huge fonts.
    So your mac pro adjusted the display to the 800x600 your crt can accept, as my macbook would when connecting to a video projector for presentation, when in mirror mode.
    This is obviously the best choice it could have done, you see...
    Now, if you want to keep best resolutions in both screen, then you have no other option than to use extended desktop.

  • I cannot project PDFs from my macbook Air.  I have the proper cords and adapters but the display option does not provide "mirror" as an option.  Hugely frustrating as this is client-facing breakdowns over and over.  Help please?

    When I connect my macbook air to projectors (most projectors) using the proper adapters, it simply does not recognize the displays.  My colleague and I have both had this problem repeatedly, indicating that it is a systematic issue. 
    Online blogs say we should be getting an option to "mirror display" in the display menu, but that is not an option.  Please help, I present several times a week and this is terribly unprofessional.
    Thanks,

    My iPad 4 does not show up on my TV screen when in AirPlay mirroring mode using WiFi.  The iPad displays AirPlay set to TV with the Mirroring On (green).
    My iPad IOS software is 8.2 and my Apple TV software is at 7.1.  The TV displays the Apple Menu.  The “Settings” does however displays the General menu allowing me to see:
    Apple software:          7.1 (7003)
    Apple TV:                   Model No. A1464, Part No. MD199B/A
    Signal Strength shows 5 circles.
    It does not display the iPad screen but when I use the BT Sport App I can hear the sound but there is no video.  I have searched the internet for a solution to no avail. The problem first arose when the IOS was at 8.1+ but it worked correctly briefly when I updated to IOS 8.2.  Can you help please?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Restart your mobile device.

  • Dual 30" ACDs not working correctly in mirror mode

    My Apple Care guy is telling me that the problem I have is known and there is nothing they can do for me. I find this hard to believe, especially since it seems like I'm the only one complaining about this, so, before throwing in the towel and accepting defeat I ask, "Does anyone else have two 30 inch ACDs that do not work correctly while in mirror mode?". I have a Mac Pro4,1 eight core Intel Xeon with the ATI HD 4870. The details of my problem are in another post here (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2659330&tstart=0).

    Charlie Parker-
    I do not represent the position of Apple, Inc. I am another User, like you.
    After reviewing your Videos, I suggest that you may never be satisfied with the performance of two displays on one display card.
    You are a very exacting and demanding user. You may want to consider having each display on its own card to maintain crispness and lack of transient artifacts.

  • Mirror mode not working

    Hi,
    Using my new RAZR now for a couple of months and I'm unable to use mirror mode as explained in the instructional video.
    Plug RAZR into my HDMI port on my TV and select mirror mode on my touch screen on the RAZR.
    At this point I cannot make any selections other than the lower part of the screen to display the settings, home, previous, etc. options.  The screen is displayed on the TV but no selections can be made from the RAZR.  THIS IS NOT GOOD!  I can't see that there are any options for the user to select in the way of configuration other than the overscan in the HDMI  setting.  I brought the phone to a Verizon store but they were unable to help.  The software is updated to the latest version.  Suggestions please..

    I don't have a micro HDMI cable - getting one today - so I can't check this out.  But from what I've read with other folks "it should just work."  And, according to them, it works much better with the Razr than other phones they've owned.
    If possible, maybe try a different HDMI cable and/or HDMI port on your TV?  And reboot your phone - which often fixes many glitches.

  • Presentation plays in mirror mode but not extended desktop

    My presentation plays in mirror mode flawlessly.
    But when played in extended desktop has only one life. After 'escaping' out of a playing slideshow, I am then unable to play the slideshow again in extended desktop and must either quit out of Keynote or switch to mirror mode.
    My computer is connected with a Sanyo PLC-XU74 data projector at our church. The problem also exists when I test it connected to my Panasonic LCD TV at home.
    The problem is not specific to any particular file.
    My older version of Keynote 3.0.0 works without this issue on both secondary displays (church & home) but will not play the file created in Keynote 09 (error message 'Keynote cannot open the file .... because it is damaged.')
    My wife's MacBook plays the same files without issue in extended desktop mode on the same secondary displays.
    Files created in her identical version of Keynote 09 (5.0.1) misbehave when I attempt to play them on my MacBook Pro - just a slightly different error message ... ('Keynote cannot play your slideshow because an error occurred.' )
    Again the file will play initially, but when I exit out of the playing presentation there is no way to resurrect it without quitting and restarting the application.
    My head is spinning ... should I reinstall iWork 09?

    Kyn (et al)
    Thanks for your input. Problem solved with software update to Keynote 5.0.3!!
    Seems that the original iteration of Keynote 09 did not like the hardware in my fancy new MacBook Pro. Whereas it was quite content with my wife's older MacBook. It would appear this bug is fixed ...
    (Should have done this first - downloaded software update ... that's what you get for being stingy, or living in a remote part of Australia with a dribble of an excuse for broadband internet via satellite!!)
    Cheers to everyone who poked their head in ...

  • Can a broken Display Switch module cause my screen to not turn on or be recognized?

    Hi All,
    I have recently been having some issues with my LCD screen in my HP Pavillion dv9700. Ever since I replaced the left hinge on my notebook, I have had to fiddle with my screen by closing and opening it during booting to get it to turn on. This only happened when booting into linux. When booting into vista, the screen would turn on without a problem. This morning I was so fed up with this, that I thought maybe some switch was not getting pressed to tell the notebook that the lid was opened. After looking at all the cables and putting everything back together, my screen now no longer turns on no matter how much I open and close the lid. It wont even turn on in vista. I am however able to connect a vga cable to my notebook and use an external monitor without any problems. I opened up the nvidia control panel in both windows and linux and it does not recognize my notebook monitor, only the external monitor shows up. Could this be caused by a broken display switch module? How can I diagnose this problem? Is there a way to bypass the display switch module by jumping two wires?
    Any ideas are appreciated,
    Thanks in advance
    OS: Latest version of Ubuntu Linux 11.10 dual booting with Windows Vista
    Problem: LCD Monitor not turning on / being recognized
    possible cause: LCD Display Switch Module

    Update:
    I just figured out that it cant be my display switch module because when i close the lid to my notebook, the external monitor shuts off and the computer goes into standby mode. I now think this might be an issue with the ribbon cable. Is there anything else which might be  causing this problem which I am overlooking?

  • I have a late 2008 white macbook.  I have a mini dvi to hdmi adapter, and a hdmi cord.  My cannot get my MB to detect an external monitor.  Nothing happens when plugged in.  Also, my display settings does not have an option for mirroring or arrangment tab

    Yeah, I'm having the same exact problem - It seems that the thunderbolt minidisplay port is only able to output the analog VGA signal, not the digital signal to support DVI and HDMI. This is a bug that came up after installing 10.7.1. I bought my macbook air with 10.7 on it, upgraded it to 10.7.1 as soon as I got it, so I have never been able to use hdmi or dvi with my macbook air. This is an extremely frustrating problem for me, I used HDMI on a daily basis with my PC. I have spent many hours at the genius bar running diagnostic tests so Apple can get as much information as possible to create a fix for this problem. I have been emailing tech support for 3 or so weeks now, they keep saying that they are working on a fix and it should be out soon, but 10.7.2 has come and gone and I still have no HDMI functionality with my MacBook Air!

  • I want to use my apple TV as a second monitor not a mirrored one, in other words, I want to use my TV as a second screen not a copy of my first screen,other people have asked this question but have been given mirroring answers. I want a second display.

    I want to use my apple TV as a second monitor not a mirrored one, in other words, I want to use my TV as a second screen not a copy of my first screen,other people have asked this question but have been given mirroring answers so I am spelling it out here very specifically. I want a second display. This should be possible and would be awesome. Anyone know how to do this?

    Nevermind I just installed it to try it and it's awesome, so happy right now, Thanks. All the things I had read about it on third party sites led me to believe it could not do extended desk tops, thanks for your help!

  • Using two external displays that are NOT mirrored

    i have a MBP early 2008, meaning the external display port is a dual DVI-I port. I have have two external displays, both samsung syncmaster xl2370 with native resolution 1920x1080. i have a dual dvi-i to vga splitter. when i connect both displays, they mirror one another, which is not what i want. rather, i want to have my MBP display, and two external displays that are not mirror images of one another. according to apple, if i buy a dual dvi-i to dvi splitter, i get the same effect. i've read on various forums about hardware alternatives, like buying a usb to dvi or usb to vga adapter, with some reasonable results (except a bit of sluggishness). the best one seems to be the diamond: http://www.diamondmm.com/BVU195.php
    it mostly gets good reviews, but is sluggish. does any know of any better options?
    many thanks, jovo

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    USB is slow partly because it is processor and driver dependent. Best to go with a straight video solution, such as Matroxes products like this one: http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/products/gxm/dh2go/

I'm also out of warranty and i've tried everything... resetting the pram, trying to restart in safe mode, trying to boot from a cd... .NOTHING WORKS!!! i can still control brightness itself but ive never tried attaching to an external monitor. I know everything is loaded correctly... i just don't know whats wrong. If you have any ideas.. please let me know.
