Can we target external display on iOS?

Is there any way to target the external display (for example, composite output through dock connector) of an iOS device in AIR? Not mirrored, but instead content that differs from what appears on the iOS device itself.
I've seen discussion and demonstration of this ability regarding AIR, but it might be about Phonegap+JS and not AS3.

If not, is this something Native Extensions might solve?
Thanks!

Yep, ANE can surely help. Infact the only possible way for now

  • Broken LCD - Can not get external Display

    My screen is no longer good so im trying to connect a external display.
    Been trying for hours trying to get the external display to work of boot.
    Ive tryed everything changing 2 sets of hd cables and svga cables. The funcion key. 
    The Laptop does reconize the display but seems to go into powersave mode or something.
    The only way i can get the external display to work is if i pull the battery and wait a bit then power
    up the display will work with a notice on the screen that cmos will be reset to defaults then restarts
    and back to where i was again... Im thinking it something in the bios thats causing this.
    Thank you and hope i can figure this out.

  • HT3131 I would like to darken my Mac Air screen, so I can use may external display and the keyboard on the notebook--it is possible on a PC-does it work on a Mac?

    I would like to darken my Mac Air screen, so I can use may external display and the keyboard on the notebook--it is possible on a PC-does it work on a Mac?

    Sure it's possible.
    Go to System Preferences (under the Apple logo on the top left of the menu).
    Choose "Display".  There's a slider bar for the screen brightness.  Adjust it and you're all set.

  • Can I use External Display on a Window 7 64bit 13" Macbook Pro Early 2010

    I have a 23" LED LG Monitor , It has VGA Cable , RCA Cable and HDMI Plug (but no wire). I am asking now if whether I should need a VGA Cable or a RCA Cable or a HDMI cable. I know there's the Apple Mini DVI to VGA Adapter. Should I get that? And does window 7 64bit professional bootcamp support any external display? If not , is there another way to get it working.

    You should be able to hook it right up just like if it was a "normal" Windows Laptop.
    Windows would be the one to set it up with. Make sure you've updated Boot Camp.
    You probably should use an "Apple Mini Display" port -to- HDMI adapter as that should give you more display options, etc. (I'm not sure how high the 13" can go on resolutions, HDMI or VGA may not matter?)
    You MAY have to use a separate sound cable between the laptop and monitor as some HDMI -to- (whatever) adapters don't carry the sound signal via an "adapter".
    The next choice would be a Mini Display port to VGA adapter.
    You may want to also ask this question in the "Computing Hardware/MacBook Pro" area as they may have more info?
    Hope this helps...

  • IBook G4 screen broken, can't use external Display

    hi folks:
    I have a late model G4 iBook (which is outside of the logic board replacement program) that the screen broke and i've been trying to get the external display adapter w/my monitor to work but I can't seem to get it to switch. i can boot the ibook and get the Mac boot 'tone' and it boots (and I can use the volume control buttons (I can hear them working) once it's fully booted (although I can't see anything to tell if it's booted)...and i can see in my router logs that it attempts to get an IP address from my DHCP server..so i know the iBook works, i just can't seem to get it to switch to the external display with the cable attached to the side of my iBook. I've tried resetting the PRAM and fn-F1 to switch to the external display, but nothing seems to work.
    i can't afford to fix the broken display, so I wanted to set this up as a mini-desktop..and of course i'd like to get my iTunes music off of the machine along w/some pictures and stuff.
    Any ideas guys, i'm at my wits end and not sure what else to try.
    Thanks again.
    -c
    Ps..even if there's some way I can 'hack' into my OWN box and just use remote desktop to control the iBook from my other mac...that would be ok too...
    THANKS GUYS

    Connect the two Macs with a FireWire cable and start up the iBook with the T key held down. You should then be able to copy off all the files you need from the iBook's hard disk.

  • Can't use external display w/o magsafe connected while lid is closed

    I've got the latest 15" MBP with Retina Display. At work I connect it to a 23" Cinema Display and at home I us a 20" Cinema Display in my studio.
    The desk I'm using isn't big enough to host my MBP with the lid up with my 20" display side-by-side , so I have to keep my MBP folded all the time. When it is folded I have noticed that I need the MagSafe adapter connected all the time, or else it will not let me use my 20" display or the USB ports. This means that I can't use my Apogee Duet via USB either, if I don't connect the MagSafe adapter.
    Now you might think "well, you're at your desk, just connect the adapter and be happy". I would love to, but the thing is that I record lots of guitars in my home studio and when my computer is powered by the magsafe and I've got a guitar amp running I get lots of humming noises in the signal. I've tried different power outlets and stuff, and I can't do anything but unplug the magsafe to get rid of the problem.
    Is there any one else out there with this problem, that you can't use an external display (or your USB ports) with the lid closed without Magsafe adapter?

    Well the official document, posted by CT, on clamshell mode doesn't support your theory that it worked with your older/pervious macbook pro and it certainly doesn't work like that with your newer mac.
    So you are either mistaken or your older/pervious mac was broken in some way to allow it to work without a AC adapter connected.

  • Macbook can't detect external display via DVI cable

    I just bought Samsung PX2370 monitor and attempt to connect it with my Macbook Aluminum (late 2008). I have mini display port to DVI adapter and DVI cable. When I hook up my Mac, nothing comes up. The screen on macbook goes blue briefly and then back to normal, but nothing has been detected. I've manually set the source of signal to DVI, and tried to use Detect Display but nothing happens. Even I try to detect the monitor by using Windows 7 (via bootcamp), the display remains idle.
    I had tested the monitor using DSLR although by HDMI, it work.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Hey hparekh and welcome to the forum -
    It looks like you have the correct hardware. You should check your connections... make sure your using the Mini DisplayPort and not the Ethernet port (common mistake) and all of the connections are plugged completely. Make all of your connections with your MacBook on and then turn your Dell on. You might need to go through your Dell's setup to make sure that it's recognizing a DVI input rather then HDMI.
    Might be a bad DVI cable or a defective monitor or maybe a bad Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter. Are they all new products?

  • How can I use an external display with my MBP lid closed and disconnected to power?

    I know that I can use an external display when my MBP lid is closed and it is connected to power. I was wondering why it does not work when the power cable is removed.
    I only use an external display when I am at home so my MBP acts like a Mac Pro or Mac Mini in that way, but it is not good to leave the battery charging constantly on a MBP so I want to disconnect the power and use external display and have the lid closed. Is this possible or do I have to leave my lid open when running on battery power?

    I'm plugged into my wall socket at least 90% of the time - probably more. I always make sure that I take my MBP off mains about once every two weeks and let it run down to about 30-40% and then plug it back up. This keeps the ions flowing and the battery healthy. My MBP will be one year old on March 20, 2013, and my battery health is still at 99%. I run in clamshell mode most of the time now - since I bought a 27" Apple Thunderbolt Display. Only occasionally am I off mains - and then because I'm exercising my battery, usually.
    Don't worry about running of mains most of the time - just be sure and unplug about once every two weeks (or twice a month) and let your battery dip to the 30-40% mark and you'll be fine.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • What is the max resolution the MacBook can drive on an external display?

    Hi everyone,
    I want to hook my my MacBook up to an external display, and I'm wondering what the max resolution it can drive is.
    Is it different depending on whether I'm hooking up to a VGA display via the Mini-DVI to VGA adapter or to a DVI display via the Mini-DVI-DVI-D adapter?
    Thanks!
    Dave

    The MacBook can drive an external display at a maximum resolution of 1920 by 1200. More information is available on this page.

  • I can't seem to run 3 external displays of off my MacBook Pro 13inc with Retina.

    I can't seem to run 3 external displays of off my MacBook Pro 13inc with Retina (2.8GHz Intel Core i7, 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3, 512GB SD driven, OS X 10.9.3) It only picks ups 2 displays. I also have a 15inch Mac Book Pro with Retina that can run all 3 screens. Any suggestions, please?

    The late 2013 MacBook Pro Retina 13 inch screen model can power three external displays in addition to its own.
    Here is a video showing three external displays working; 1 HDMI, 1 MiniDisplay Port, and 1 thru USB using a Startech external video card to DVI adapter. All the external displays are old 23 inch Apple Cinema Displays hooked up thru each monitor's Apple Display Connector (ADC), then to Apple ADC to DVI adapters, then a third adapter (HDMI, USB, MiniDisplayport). So ADC/ADC to DVI/DVI to whatever/MacBook. The monitors are probably older than some of the users on this board. The USB to DVI external card/adapter is what makes it work, and it's less than $70 online.

  • Won't boot with external display connected

    My MacBook Pro (circa 1997) won't boot with the external display connected. I can connect the external display (20in flat planel) after it has started, and it works just fine.
    I have tried two different DVI cables (one of which I think is a DVI-A cable) and the DVI-to-VGA cable. The result is the same.
    During the boot phase I get the tone, the apple logo and the progress wheel. After 30 seconds to one minute those disappear to be replaced by an empty blue screen.

    In case anyone wonders, my "solution" was to change to a WB Elements Desktop 3TB (only USB 2.0 is currently available for this model). I miss the speed of USB 3.0, but it's much nicer to not have to remember to unplug and plug in the hard drive each time I boot.
    Still hoping to see a proper solution to this (since I don't have the WB My Book anymore, I can't test adaher's suggestion).

  • Question regarding external display

    Hello,
    I may have posted this in the wrong section, but the forums are labeled oddly.  Anyway, I have an Insignia flat screen that I'd like to use as a second monitor for my laptop.  However, I have no clue if this laptop can even use one.
    Here's some information about my laptop - http://i.imgur.com/yHlcLsO.png
    If it can use an external display such as a tv, what cord do I need?  I am not seeing an HDMI port.  The HDMI port I'm used to, which was from my old laptop, had the two holes on the side for the screws or whatever you call them.
    Thanks.

    The Ideapad U530 has an HDMI connector. What you were using before was old school vga which uses a D-sub connector or DVI. Using HDMI should give you much better clarity and response. 
    d-sub/vga = http://www.mouser.com/images/switchcraft/images/ehhd15ffb.jpg
    HDMI connector = http://www.mouser.com/images/molex/images/highprofile_SMT_iso.jpg
    DVI connector = http://www.mouser.com/images/omron/images/xm4m_t.jpg
    HDMI cable = http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NTAwWDUwMA==/z/FA0AAOSwg3FUhO1~/$_12.JPG
    The TV should have an HDMI connector, on it unless it is older then 5 years than it may be iffy, and you just need to get one of these. Should be able to get one pretty much anywhere. radioshack, walmart, kmart, etc. anyplace that sells tv's should have them. Just keep in mind that if thier charging more then 20$ for it that is too much.

  • Using an external display with the macbook air

    hi, i wanna know if i can use an external display with the macbook air as the tunderbolt is a bit pricey? i was thinking about buyin a LCD moniter wih a VGA port. many thanks

    Yes.  You can use VGA DVI or HDMI monitors by buying a  Minidisplay port to xxx adapter and the the appropriate cable (vga, dvi or hdmi).
    The MiniDisplayport adapter plugs into the Thunderbolt port.
    Regards,
    Captfred
    Here's a sample HDMI adapter.  All these available in the Apple online store.

  • USB to HDMI adapter for external display in clamshell mode?

    Hello.
    Does anyone know of a USB to HDMI (or DVI) adapter so that I can connect an external display (with an HDMI or DVI cable) to a USB port on my Macbook air? 
    I need to run it in clamshell mode, mirroring the Air display. The Monoprice  USB to HDMI adapter (which uses DislplayLink drivers) I tried does not work properly in clamshell mode with mirroring (though it works in arrangement mode).  I know I can use the Thunderbolt port, but I need to leave this free for a Firewire device.
    Thanks.

    Unfortunately, I have the same problem, but using USB devices and Displaylink software.  I know there are issues with Displaylink software as they say the problem is with Apple.  I have three external monitors with a late 2008  I Macbook Pro which gives me four screens.  I was able to get two to work + the Macbook, but there were so many issues, like you described, that I have given up and I am just using the Mini Display port which gives me one external and the Macbook.  Looks like we will just have to wait until Apple does something.  I have found no other solutions at this point - hardware or otherwise.

  • External Display Toggling

    Forgive me if this is not the correct forum. I have a new MacBook Pro. I also purchased a 20" monitor and have it connected. Is there a way to toggle between the laptop display and the external display? The only way I can get the external display to work is to set the "Mirror Displays" option in the Display settings. And if I shut the laptop lid the external display disappears. Any suggestions are welcomed. Thanks in advance.

    And if I shut the laptop lid the external display disappears.
    First off, if you shut the lid, the MacBook Pro will go to sleep. If you have an external display, keyboard and mouse (USB or Bluetooth) and the AC power connected, you can wake the computer. Apple explains this in Knowledge Base Article #86286.
    Maybe if you told us exactly which model 20" monitor you have, we could give you some help with that. What is the native resolution? When you choose to "mirror displays" what resolution are both displays set to?
