Cannot connect 2 external monitors via port replicator using Portege Z30-16U

Hi All
I need hell I just moved from a other laptop to the Portege Z30-16U, I have spent hours trying to connect my 2 external monitors to my Hi-Speed Port replicator III 120W but my laptop will only see one monitor.
I have been using 2 external monitors with my laptop for yrs as I do a lot or reading and I do not want to use only one and the laptop screen.
I have tried VGA cables and mix of a VGA and a HDMI but nothing is working.
Can anyone tell me how I can connect and view 2 external monitors with this laptop and port replicator, I cannot believe it is not possible it would make no sense that Toshiba would be so technilogically behind other laptop manufacturers.
Thanks
Liga

Hi
I am not familliar with the Portreplicator of Z30, but the general behaviour of the dual-displayconnector replicators is that 1 can be used.
Not 2 simultaneously.
I may be wrong and you should easily be able to check this - use only 1 at a time.
First one, then the other.
If both works when used alone, then my suspicion is right.
Hope this helps!

X300: External Monitors and port replicator

The X300 looks really good, but when not traveling I'd be using it with a 24" 1920x1200 monitor.
A couple questions I can't see to find answers for:
1) Is the X300 capable of driving that resolution for an external monitor?
2) Assuming a good answer to #1, it seems like the new USB-based docking station has an resolution of 1440x or 1400x. Can the replicator be used, but skip using the video out and, instead, just use the video out from the X300?
Using the port replicator may not make sense that way since I might as well just plug everything in manually, but wanted to ask.
Thanks in advance for any help/clarity around this.

ed, it's an obvious question with a not-so-obvious answer. the specs actually come from intel's published info on the X3100 integrated graphics. for whatever reason lenovo doesn't list their systems' output capabilities in easily-accessible documentation. not even the X300 topseller announcement letter mentions display output. i've never understood this as it would clear up many customers' questions and uncertainties.
this makes a thinkpad's ability to output high resolution is a perpetually-confusing topic. to help put things in perspective, it takes only 12MB of video memory to drive 2048x1536 @ 32-bit and only 9MB to drive 1920x1200 @ 32-bit. the X300 with its ability to use up to 384MB of shared system memory can easily drive two displays simultaneously within the VGA limitations on each port; 2048x1536 on-board and 1400x1050 via the port replicator.
update: fixed typo.

Cannot Connect External Monitor to Twist

I am trying to connect an external monitory made by HP, to my Twist, though the HDMI.
It was previously working fine, but it just stopped working randomly after turning it on one day.
It is connected using a hdmi to DVI-D adapter, and I have tried updating the Intel HD 4000 Graphics driver, which did not work.
I also tested the Twist with another monitor using the same cable, which worked, and then I tried the monitor with another computer which also worked... so I have no clue why it will not work.
If you need any more details please let me know, but I am so stuck right now!!!

Hi, MParikh
To make sure that we're both on the same page: You use the HDMI port on the Twist for video output, which is then connected to the DVI adapter to plug into both monitors. With the XP machine, you use the DVI cable only to go from machine to monitor(s), correct?
If this is the case, then my guess would be that something on the HP monitor is not working properly. It seems that the monitor has lost the ability to accurately read the translation of the signal from HDMI to DVI. The ports on both machines are working well, since the XP machine can connect to both monitors, and the HDMI to DVI connection works well from the Twist to the other monitor. The only thing distinct in all of the combinations is the Twist's HDMI to DVI cannot be read by the HP monitor. If possible, I would encourage you to test this by finding another HDMI compatible device and then trying to hook that up to the HP monitor using HDMI to DVI and see if anything different occurs.
Thanks in advance. Best of luck,
Adam

Open Screen resolution page
1. In the first box select your Main LCD
2. A Box below should appear, Place a check in Make this

Connect two external monitors to mini DP(using a mini DP to VGA adapter) and the VGA out at once

I am trying to connect two external monitors to mini DP(using a mini DP to VGA adapter) and the VGA out at once. Windows recognize both monitors as well. But it dowsn't let me use all three monitors at once(see the below image). In the dropdown, it lists all three monitors. Problem is there are two active displays I can select.

I would like to add a third monitor.
The GPU(s) in your T400 (and most other laptop brands) will support two different displays concurrently. If you want to support more than two different displays concurrently, you will need another GPU external to the T400.
Generally, if you want to use two external displays on a T400 you will nee dto use a docking station.
I have read messages on various fora on this topic and know that there are a number of ways of doing this, but as I have never had a need to do this myself I can't tell you how to go about it.

Problem with T61 and DVI External Monitor (via Advanced Mini-Dock)

Ever since I upgraded to Vista SP1 on my ThinkPad T61 (with an Intel integrated 965 series graphics card), I've been having problems when I try to use an external monitor via the DVI port in my Advanced Mini-dock. I'm curious if other people have experienced this problem.
The problems surfaces when I first boot up, or sometimes after my ThinkPad has been running for awhile (particularly when I do something graphics related, such as right-clicking to open display properties). The picture starts to flicker (or disappear and reappear, like the screen does when changing graphics resolutions). I also hear the "ba-bum" sound that you hear when disconnecting a piece of hardware, followed by the "bum-ba" reconnection sound - these two sounds happen repeatedly (sometimes as fast as once per second). If I don't do anything, sometimes I'll get a bluescreen.
Not long ago, I found a fix of sorts: to stop the flickering/reconnecting, I just open Task Manager and stop the process called "igfxpers" (an Intel driver problem). The problem always disappears after I do this, although I have to remember to do it every time I reboot or else the problem comes back. So it's not an ideal fix.
This problem doesn't happen when I connect an external monitor using the analog VGA port, or when I'm just using the notebook LCD. It's limited to just the DVI connection. I've tried two different digital monitors (one LG, the other BenQ) as well as two DVI cables - the problem is still the same. So it seems like a driver problem of some sort - unfortunately, the Intel drivers haven't been updated since last February.
I should also note that I've tried reinstalling my OS two or three times, and the problem always comes back. Has anyone else had this problem, and is a fix on the way?

Error Message:
Input signal out of range. Translation:
You will see this on an otherwise blank screen. Assuming that the data cable is plugged in correctly, the video card is feeding the monitor a signal stream in excess of what the monitor can accommodate. The two main causes for this are that the user has set either the resolution or the vertical frequency rate too high. For example, you might set a new graphics card to display at 1,280 x 1,024, but if the monitor is only capable of 1,024 x 768 resolution, you’ll get a Sync Out of Range error. This is especially common in 14-inch monitors.
Solution:
Because you obviously can’t make settings changes from within regular Windows, you’ll need to reboot into Windows Safe Mode. When you restart the system, there is a point during boot up when the system switches from reporting diagnostics and detected components to loading Windows. This point is usually accompanied by a beep and the screen going black. Just before this point, you want to start repeatedly pressing the F8 key. This should bring up a menu of Windows boot options. The one you want to pick is Safe Mode.
From Safe Mode right-click the Desktop and select Properties. Go to the Settings tab and use the slider to drop your resolution a notch or two. Reboot and let Windows try to go into Normal mode. If this still doesn’t work, go back into Safe Mode and get to the Settings tab of Display Properties. Click the Advanced button, go to the Monitor tab, and check your refresh rate. The lowest advisable rate is usually 60Hz, although this works better for LCDs (liquid-crystal displays) than CRTs (cathode ray tubes). Apply the change and reboot.

Wi-Fi Setup Considerations
Things to consider before you begin
Start with a plan for the physical layout. Depending on whether you have an existing Wi-Fi network, or if you are using your AirPort Express as a standalone Wi-Fi device, there are several options available for you to choose from.
When using Ethernet, Cat6 cable is recommended.
The layout you choose should take into account environmental factors such as physical access, location, range, radio frequency interference, etc.
You will need to consider what AirPort Utility settings to adopt.
You will need to know whether you are using an AirPort Express (802.11b/g) or an AirPort Express (802.11a/b/g/n).
If you will be using more than one Wi-Fi base station, it may be helpful to read the article Extending the range of your wireless network by adding additional Wi-Fi base stations.

How connect External monitor to iMac?

How connect External monitor to iMac?

How to do that depends on the iMac variant you have. iMacs have been in continuous production since 1998 in four broad families that are not 100 percent alike in behavior.
Please look at the iMac images and descriptions in the links on this site:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/index-imac.html
and tell us what variant you believe you have.
iMacs from the first through third-generations (G3, G4, and G5 processors) that support an external monitor were not set up to do anything other than "mirroring"--you see on the external exactly what is on the built-in display.
Your description sounds like you have a newer iMac than this forum covers because, starting with the Intel iMacs in 2006, external monitors were allowed to do both mirroring and "extended desktop." The latter is what I believe you are seeing.
Try this first: press the F7 key. On many Macs capable fo using external monitors, this was a shortcut to toggle between mirrored and extended display. If your keyboard has an "fn" modifier key, you may need to press that to get the F7 key to work.
If you have an intel-powered iMac I can ask the Hosts to move you to that forum, which is much more active than this one which is for pre-2006 iMacs.

Why I cannot connect to twitter via iPhone?

I just cannot connect to Twitter via iPhone.
It started around 6 months ago, before it was working just fine.
Important notes:
I live in China, dono need to connect to it via VPN.
Interesting thing is that in my iPad app I have no problem at all, can connect, place posts, etc.
Just in iPhone its not possible, not even connecting to the site via Safari.
Why's that? Anyone has any idea on how to solve this problem?

Changed apple-ID password - cannot connect to icloud via macbook air but it works on iphone and itunes..

My Ipad got stolen soon after i updated in to ios7.
the idiot i am, i did not activate find my ipad, so i changed all my passwords, including the apple-id.
now i have the following problem:
on my iphone, everything works as usual.
however, i cannot connect to icloud via my macbook air, if i type in my password (and trust me i have already changed it a few times, it always works on the phone but not on the macbook) i get the following message: "Sie konnten aufgrund eines Kommunikationsproblems mit iCloud nicht angemeldet werden." which means more or less that i could not connect to icloud due to a communication problem.
does anyone have an idea how to fix this?
thank you!

MBP Thunderbolt 2, connect 3 external monitors via 1 only port ?

Hi Apple Communities,
My "old" mybookpro late 2009 died 3 days ago (motherboard).
So I buy a new MBP Retina 15" Late 2013.
I would like to plug 3 external monitors for more confort to work (one for Virtual Machine and 2 for OS X mainly)
(but not Apple Thunderbolt Display, nice but too expensive for my budget).
My question : Thunderbolt 2 and DisplayPort 1.2 are the same right ?
If yes, this interface should allow to connect peripherals by "daisy chain".
Because the lack of connectivity of the macbookpro, I would like to check if it's possible to use 1 Thunderbolt 2 port to plug one monitor and use the first external monitor to the 2 others. For example with this display Dell UltraSharp U2413 with the DisplayPort 1.2.
I want to keep the other Thunderbolt2 port to plug my external drive (with the firewire adapter) or plug my NAS in Ethernet.
I'm not a gamer but I work on Video Editing, Webdesign, Code so I need good performance too (3 x 1920x1080/1200px will be fine, if I can have better resolutions, it's ok ! )
Thanks for your help !

You can either use a FireWire hub or connect one device through USB. If either drive has two or more FireWire ports, it can act as a hub.

How do I get a video signal to an external monitor via the mini-display port on my Mac Book Air?

I can't get a video signal out through my mini-display port on my Mac Book Air (version 1). Thus I can't feed BBC iPlayer to an external monitor. There is some connectivity - the MAC wallpaper is broadcast, the mouse pointer is visible and sound is transferred. Is it likely to be a cable connection problem (though the cable works with a Windows operating laptop)?

First, what you said is contradictory. You say "can't get a video signal", then say"the Mac wallpaper is broadcast, the mouse pointer is visible". "No video signal" means an absolutely black,blank screen. It sounds like you have plenty of signal.
I am supposing what you are seeing is actually a blank desktop, which is to be expected if your settings are such that you are extending the desktop, instead of mirroring it.
Within the preference panes is a setting that allows you to change this. Open System Preferences, click Displays, and then click Arrangement. You will see that you are extending the desktop. Change that setting.

Connecting Two Monitors VIA USB

I was wondering if there are any setups for connecting two external DVI monitors VIA USB to my Macbook Pro late 2011.

For external displays you will have to use the Thunderbolt port ( with appropriate adapters) .

"Cannot connect to the iTunes Store" when using WiFi and Cisco VPN

hi
I'm on iPhone software 2.0 and have a connection to the internet via WiFi and VPN (using the integrated Cisco client). Everything works fine (Safari, Mail, mobileme push of contacts and calendars) but the iTunes Store and the App Store won't. While the App Store keeps spinning the iTunes Store says "Cannot connect to the iTunes Store". Has anyone else experienced a similar phenomenon?
thanks
Message was edited by: samaki

We're having the same issue. App Store and iTunes do not work when all traffic is tunneled over VPN. Yet, other applications like Safari, New York Times reader, Telnet, etc... work perfectly fine over VPN. If we have the iPhone switch over to using split tunneling VPN mode, then the App Store and iTunes work since they do not appear to be sending traffic over the VPN tunnel. I can say for certain that no outgoing traffic is being blocked on the VPN servers since I administer those servers. I also did a packet capture on the iPhone wireless session and it appears that the App Store sends traffic over the regular HTTP port. So it really doesn't make any sense from a VPN perspective why Safari would work but not the App Store or iTunes when you're tunneling all traffic over VPN. Our iPhones are using the latest firmware (5F136). If anyone has any update, please do share.
