Can i connect an external display using HD3000 after the discrete gpu has stopped working?

Say for some reason the HD 6490m is fried and I can only use the HD 3000; will I be able to connect the laptop to an external 1080p display via thunderbolt?
Technically it should work, i know. But i've tried it with gfxCardStatus 2.3 and nothing happens until i allow the radeon to work. My question is: after the amd stops working, will the computer allow the HD 3000 to connect to an external display? Is there some kind of limitation so that only the 6490m can use the thunderbolt port?

Cheers!

Thanks for the fast reply!
So i assume this is because Apple uses a custom processor or because of the motherboard that inhibits it somehow, right? I'm asking that because some hd3000 chips in other systems are able to support a second display.
Anyway, thanks a lot. I will be careful not to lose the amd then

  • Loss 3D graphics and can't connect to external display with NVIDIA card

    I note this morning that the graphics in 3D mode of iWork (version 4.1 with system 10.6.8) no longer appears in all software suite. The 2D graphics are displayed perfectly. I also notice I can't connect an external display when I am on NVIDIA card but work well with Intel card.
    The 3D graphics are printed but not displayed on the screen (it also appear inthe thumbnail). It seems to be a worry to display.
    I posted two screen images showing the problem of 3D in Pages.

    hi Andaleeb sorry to hijack Stephanie's thread!
    I don't get any crash reports, it starts to open then just stops, nothing happens. ive tried getting in through the organiser but that doesn't work either.

    it was working Saturday I'm quite new to using it so no real workflow, just playing around with effects. ive only had it about a month
    Thanks

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • I am running windows 7. My itunes keep shutting down on me. I keep getting the message itunes has stopped working What can I do?

    I keep getting the message itunes has stopped working. A problem has caused itunes to stop working correctly. What can be the cause?

    Hello Main Event,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    I found this article while researching iTunes quitting unexpectedly on Windows 7 and feel it will help to resolve the issue here.
    iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
    It starts with troubleshooting 3rd party plug ins, then moves on to account troubleshooting if needed.
    Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any inference with plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
    Hold down the Shift and Control keys while opening iTunes. If performed correctly, you should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
    After clicking Continue, determine whether the issue you were experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
    If you see the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the Create a New User Account section below. If you do not experience the same issue, consult iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-insfor steps on how to remove third-party plug-ins.
    Take care,

  • Message "itunes has stopped working". Itunes opens and can read an audio cd but as soon as the "get information" option is selected the message "itunes has stopped working" and the computer freezes or at least slows to a snail's pace.

    Hi,
    I have a PC running Windows 7 - 64bit OS. I have had iTunes installed since the beginning of the year on this computer and have not had any trouble with it except actually using iTunes but that is a different issue. The other day I inadvertently downloaded "Tuneup" which I don't want or need. I firstly want to say I have no concrete evidence that Tuneup has led to my problems. It may be coincidental that Tuneup and my problems appeared together.
    Tonight when I started iTunes, Tuneup took over a quarter of the screen on the right side. I closed this program. When the list of tracks was ready to be loaded from the CD and I went to" file" - "get info" option the message "iTunes has stopped working" would appear. Closing this message resulted in iTunes shutting down. I should say that before I closed the message the computer had essentially ground to a halt. The other curious thing was the behavour of the mouse pointer on the screen - the only place where it was visible was in the "iTunes has stopped working" box. Moving it out of the message box resulted in it disappearing. It would reappear if it were caused to wander into the message box.
    I subsequently removed Tuneup (control panel, programs and features, etc...) iTunes had not improved. I then deleted iTunes, firstly saving the library to a file on the desktop. Then I did a fresh(?) install of ITunes but there seems to be no change. A curious thing was even though I had deleted iTunes through the control panel the library was still there as if I had done nothing. The whole thing is a complete mystery and extremely galling.
    If someone has had a similar problem I would really like to know what the fixes were.
    Thanks for "listening".
    Cheers,
    Grant Andrews.

    I had a similar problem. I'm using 64bit Windows7. The following solution worked for me:
    COPY    QTMovieWin.dll
    FROM    c:\program files (x86)\common files\apple\apple application support\
    INTO     c:\program files (x86)/iTunes
    Also, reinstalling Quicktime has worked for others having this same issue.

  • The home button has stopped working on my iphone 5c. Did the same a few months ago and recovered 24hrs later. Can anyone explain this problem. Phone still in warranty. Had steam issue recently but this was after last home button episode.

    Have an iphone 5c 8g. The home button has stopped working. Did the same a few months ago and recovered 24hrs later. Can anyone explain this problem. Phone still in warranty. Had steam issue recently but this was after last home button episode and no evidence of damage.

    If you are playing in hockey arenas a lot or if you are bringing it into bathroom same time as shower it may not seem like much but overtime the steam can acquire and build up in the phones usb dock flex cable swell as the home button flex cable. Bring again into apple store and should be covered under warranty again. could also be a delay in a 8gb 5c software may just be very lag.

  • Tecra A9 - Connecting two external displays using Express Port Replicator

    Hi,
    I have a Tecra A9 and Express Port Replicator.
    I'm trying to connect 2 external displays, one connected on the notebook output and the other connected on the docking station (notebook lid closed, not using the notebook display).
    I can only get one to work, does anyone know if this is possible?

    Hi
    I think you want to connect one monitor to VGA and the other to DVI port.
    Is it right?
    Well, I found this doc:
    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB7B0201000CR01.htm
    It depends on the used Tecra A9, if you can get a picture on the DVI out port on the Express Port Replicator (PA3508E-1PRP) or not.
    The DVI port on the on the Express Port Replicator is only supported on machines with ATI or nVidia graphic card.
    If you have a INTEL graphic card the DVI port on the on the Express Port Replicator is NOT supported.

  • How Can I Connect 2 External Display Monitors to a MacBook Pro? Help

    I want to know if I can (and How to) connect 2 external display monitors to a MacBook Pro... late 2006 & the new Unibody MBP.
    I'll appreciate

    Requires additional hardware - the Matrox DualHead2Go. For the late 2006, you'd need the DualHead2Go Digital Edition, and for the unibody you'd need the DualHead2Go DP Edition, with appropriate cabling (and a DVI-to-VGA adapter for the late 2006 MBP).

  • Can I connect an external DLT Tape drive to the SCSI connector on an E450

    Hi... totally new to SPARC. I have inherited an E450. It appears to have the 8 bay option. I have 6 scsi disk drives installed in slots 0 through 5. Internally, there is one ultra scsi controller in slot 2 and two internal cables running from the top of the card, one for each channel. I do have an extra ultra pci scsi card, but when I plugged it into a pci slot, the system would not boot. Bottom line, can I connect an external DLT drive to either Channel A or Channel B at the rear of the Unit and not intefere with other SCSI devices (i.e. the disk drives). Currently, the DLT is set to SCSI ID 8. If this isn't recommended, how do I install the secondary ultra scsi card and have the system recognize it ? Note that the Hard drives have been wiped and I WILL be loading Solaris 10, but have not yet. I wanted to make sure all of the hardware worked first. The second PCI Scsi controller I have is an Adaptec 39160, and I'm assumming it will work IF needed. I'd prefer not to use it if necessary.... ANY HELP is sincerely appreciated ! Thanks, Randy

    I suggest you leave the current internal connections just as they are.
    You never know when you'll need to add more disks.
    That Adaptec card is for PC's.
    It won't work in a Sun SPARC-based system.
    What sort of SCSI interface is required for that tape device?
    Single-Ended? High Voltage Differential? Low Voltage Differential?
    You need a card that matches that interface type if you hope it to "drive" the tape.
    One quick way to tell, is to examine the chassis of the tape peripheral
    and find the small icon that should be at the port for the SCSI cable.
    For example, Sun's 375-0005 card is Single-ended and is what you already have inside your E450.
    Sun's 375-0006 is a HVD card and would be correct for A1000 and D1000 arrays or L7 or L25 tape libraries.
    Sun's 375-3057 card is LVD and would be appropriate for Sun's D2 array.
    The manual for that 375-3057 card happens to have pictures of the SCSI icons I just mentioned.
    See page 35 in that manual.
    http://192.18.109.11/816-2156-11/816-2156-11.pdf
    Once you confirm what's needed by the tape peripheral, we may be able to suggest how to connect it properly.
