Computer sees monitor-but monitor does not see computer.

I have a MacBookPro with the older 29 pin DVI out.
I own an 8.4" HD monitor for video production and want to use it for editing.
I am trying to get my Marshall V-R84DP-HD monitor to see the computer and it does not recognize it.
I have Mac OS X Version 10.5.6.
Connection is a single link DVI-D male-male cable.
I have set the computer to every listed resolution and it does see the Marshall in 1024x768.

I'm still not sure if what you have is typical. You have a "TV" icon in the menu bar - is it the "displays" icon"? Is there a drop down menu when you click on it? Are not the first 2 items in the drop down menu "Detect Displays" and "Turn on Mirroring" followed by a list of the 2 displays and a subset of their resolution options?
If not, you may have some other configuration I am not aware of. "Detect displays" is supposed to search out displays if you reconfigure them. Mirror or span is selected from the drop down menu, or by going to System Prefs/displays/, then you may need to click on "gather windows" to get the display windows, which normally show up in each respective display, to all show up in the primary display (with the menu bar). Then find the Arrangement tab, and there is a check box for mirroring. Trying to switch between span/mirror can be helpful in troubleshooting.
I'm wondering, though, if you have some weird DVI issue. It may pay to just get the SVGA adapter and try that, rather than waste too much time on an obscure issue.

  • Computer sees iPod, but iTunes does not!

    Even the Genius Bar guy couldn't fix this:
    - Everything used to work fine with my 5G iPod and Lenovo T61 laptop w/XP
    -Suddenly, iPod won't sync with computer anymore
    - Did all the "5R" stuff, so now I have an iPod with nothing on it, but iTunes still won't see it.
    - I know the COMPUTER and OS are seeing it, since the iPod shows up in the Device Manager, and all the Windows stuff shows the iPod is attached
    - Sometimes I get the "Restore" pop-up, but no more.
    - Deleted and re-installed a fresh copy of iTunes
    - If I connect the iPod to another computer it syncs, but NOT "it's own" laptop.
    HELP! This thing is useless and I am out of options that, again, even the Genuis Bar couldn't help.
    ANY suggestions, anyone?

    THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU !
    "tnd", good idea, but iPod hardware wasn't in the "software" area you pointed to. However, it got things in the right direction. Thanks.
    Katrina: Worked like a charm. In retrospect, it's obvious, but it didn't occur to me (or, the Genius Bar guy) to look at the other hard drive letters. I'm using a laptop that connects during the week to it's "home base" corporate network when I'm in the office. There are "h", "l" and "n" drives there, and even when the laptop is undocked and running outside the office, I guess those drives are still in there as assigned, even though not connected. Checked as you suggested, and sure enough, the iPod showed as "h", and that must have been the problem. Reassigned it to "P" for "pod" since I'll remember that in case the IT guys at work add more drives to my node. Clearly, a "DOH!".
    THANKS, my faith in Apple is restored -- I was ready to throw this thing through the window!

  • Cannot Wi-Fi Sync iPad; Appears to see iMac but iMac does not see the iPad

    Like many, I have upgraded my iPad (1st Gen) to iOS 5 and for the most part, it's been an easy transistion to learn the new features. However, I've not been able to overcome a Wi-Fi Sync issue.
    The iPad does recognize that it can Wi-Fi Sync with my iMac.
    When it was connected via cable, I had already selected the "Sync with this [iOS device] over Wi-Fi" Option in iTunes then clicked "Apply."
    Under Settings > General > iTunes Sync on my iPad, the "Sync Now" button is grey when I connect to an alternate Wi-Fi network in our house, but when I am on the same Wi-Fi network as my computer, through an Apple Airport Extreme Basestation, the "Sync Now" button becomes actively black as it if recognizes my iMac, but it does not show up under iTunes to sync.
    I connected the iPad to an alternate computer which is linked to iPhone running iOS 5 on the alternate Wi-Fi Network I spoke of earlier and through which we succesfully Wi-Fi Synced, but when my iPad was linked to this same computer (connected first by cable to enable "Sync with this [iOS device] over Wi-Fi" Option in iTunes first, it still would not show my iPad. And this time, not even my iPad would see the computer when on the same network, yet I could also see the iPhone mentioned which was upstairs.
    I have tried following the steps in this Help Page (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4062) but without any change. The only thing I haven't followed to the letter is restarting my router. I did tell my Airport Basestation to restart via the Airport Utility.
    Has anyone else yet experienced this issue and been able to resolve it? Please share any insight.

    When one device can't see another via Bonjour, it suggests a problem with how the network or the devices are handling "multicast" packets. Handling multicasts is tricky on Wi-Fi. Is there any way you can temporarily plug the iMac into the LAN port of the base station via an Ethernet cable, and try the sync that way? If that works, then it's a clear indication of multicast problems on your network.
    Apple is usually very good about making sure multicasts work reliably on AirPort base stations and all Macs and iOS client devices. It would be interesting to know which generation of AirPort Extreme you have, what firmware version you're running on it, exactly which wireless security mode you're using (for instance, WPA2 "mixed mode", where both WPA2-style AES-CCMP and original WPA-style TKIP encryption are available, is trickier for multicasts because multicasts have to use a different cipher and key. "WEP TSN" is also tricky for similar reasons). Oh, and what you have your "multicast rate" set to on your base station.

  • I am trying to import i frame from an SD90 video camera to iMovie, but it does not see the camera. Footage goes to i photo Why?

    I am trying to import video ( i frame) from an sd90 ( listed for mac) but i movie does not see the camera. It imports into i photo. Is this normal ?

    If you quit iPhoto and iMovie (with the camera still attached) then put the camera into VCR playback mode. Then launch iMovie and see if it can see the camera. If not, get out the power adapter for the camera and plug it into the wall, plug the camera into the power adapter. Reboot your Mac and wait for iPhoto to launch again automatically. Don't let it import the clips, just say No, quit the program. Then put the camrea int VCR/Playback mode, launch iMovie and check again to see if it can see the camera. Once iMovie sees it the first time it should be quicker to recognize it in future. But iPhoto does try to race in there and grab everything first.
    To turn this off go to iPhoto Menu in iPhoto > Preferences > Look for Connecting camera opens: (click on the pulldown menu and choose No Application) This effectively turns off iPhoto when you first attach the camera. And it opens the way to iMovie recognizing it quicker.

  • RAID BIOS sees HDD but XP does not

    I have a K7T266Pro2-RU (MSI 6380) mobo with an 80 GB Maxtor HDD on IDE3 and a 250 GB WD on IDE4, using the latest FastTrak100 RAID drivers from the promise website. On IDE 1 and 2 I have 3 optical drives installed.
    The problem is that while the RAID bios detects the HDD's just fine (as two separate Stripe 1+0 arrays) and boots fine off IDE3, XP does not see the other array and therefore the larger HDD is invisible. Of course I have SP1 installed with the LBA support, and when I try the HDD on one of the primary IDE channels it is recognised just fine by XP.
    So one might think that the problem lies with the RAID driver.....except to throw another spanner in the works, I did have this working fine on the RAID controller, until I decided to re-install XP from scratch on the smaller HDD (larger HDD is full of data). But for some reason this fresh install will not recognise the second HDD on the RAID controller... whats killing me is that it did work beforehand, and now it wont. I cant think what I have missed to make this work....
    Any ideas appreciated please

    You really had it working before? Weird - it's not supposed to work! The Promise controller supports either 0 or 1. I can't see how you got 0+1.
    And how can the second (bigger) HDD be the "other array" if you've got mirroring in there somewhere? OK, you can maybe fool a single drive into thinking it's a striped array but no way a mirror is anything other than a second drive which is part of the SAME array as the first drive.
    It looks like you have successfully created a mirrored array using the 2 drives (RAID 1). There's no way you have a striped array accross the 2 drives since they have to be the same size for that to work. Mirroring is OK with drives of different sizes. The trouble is, the extra space on the larger drive is just wasted - the total array space is limited to the size of the smaller drive.
    Since the second drive is just a mirror and the extra space is always unusable, it's no surprise you can't see it in XP. You would never want to read or write specifically to the mirror.

  • SATA DVD BIOS sees it but XP does not

    I hope I have the forum right, Motherboard markings are: MS-6743 Ver 1.1
    I think this makes it an 865GM2/865PEM2 but much of the text in this forum talks about changes in BIOS settings that I do not see.
    Problem: I have a SATA Plextor DVD drive that I can't get XP to see. The BIOS detects it Ok which seems to imply the cables must be connected Ok. In XP though, there is no sign of either the drive or any mention of SATA in device manager / disk controllers. Nothing in disk manager either.
    PC is Pentium 4 3.2Ghz hyper-threading, 1GB DDR, 52x IDE CD, 2 IDE HDDs.
    Does my SATA support oprical and how do I get XP to see what the BIOS is seeing?

    Thanks for the quick response. The Native mode part is set in the BIOS. The ther settings I do not see. Does this mean I should upgrade the BIOS? If so, any chance somebody could point me at the correct latest version for my board?
    The boot-up sequence is so fast, I don't know how to see my current Bios version?
    Its an optical DVD drive I'm trying to get working via SATA, booting is not a problem - its just that XP does not see my new DVD drive via SATA.

  • Itunes sees aTV but aTV does not sees iTunes

    Hi, my appleTV is not seeing the itunes that is configured to sync with. When I go to iTunes, I can see the aTV and also sync files to it. I have re-booted the computer (running Windows) and no luck of aTV seeing it.
    Any suggestions ? To fix it I need to configure the aTV to sync with iTunes, but then I have to reload all the content to it. It is getting annoying.
    Thanks !
    Miguel

    If you think this may have occured after an itunes upgrade try the following:
    From the sources menu on the tv choose syncing and then select 'change itunes library', type the pass code you are given into itunes.
