Unable to succcessfully connect monitor to laptop
Hi all. I received the lovely 23" W2371d monitor for Christmas. I have been unsuccessful in connecting it to my Sony laptop F series. I have installed the cd information and connected the cable to one another. Both the VGA and DVI shows no signal. Another thing that comes up is a color banner that says check video cable. Then the monitor keeps going to sleep mode.....I'm perplexed. Any suggestions??
This question was solved.
View Solution.Without a more complete model number of the Sony, it would appear that you have HDMI or VGA available. Normally the laptop will identify when an additional monitor is connected. Try looking in the display options of Windows 7 (Right click in an empty area of the desktop and then pick "screen resolution"). The screen in the next box will show what has been detected available for display. Or pick the "Detect" button, it should indicate if the HP monitor is detected and the laptop display.

HT4619 can i connect a pc laptop to this monitor as a display
Can a iMac 21.5" monitor be connected to a laptop pc ---so that the iMac is used as a screen display only, without using the iMac computer?
This might work but I haven't tried one myself. Further research recommended.

Accessing MXI Connection Monitor Programmatically
The MXI-4 (PXI-8336) User Manual states that you can "programmatically retrieve data about the link, chassis, and modules you have installed." I have two PXI-1042 chassis bridged together using PXI-8336 cards, and I would like be able to detect if the link is broken between the chassis. I see the device "MXI-4 Connection Monitor "PXI13::9::1::INSTR" in MAX, but the only attribute I can see is "Bridge Retransmit Count" (another useful piece of info for error checking). There doesn't seem to be any utility in NI-VISA to access this information--am I missing something, or maybe this info is kept in registers?
Bottom line, I would like to generate an error in my LabVIEW code if the link is lost between the chassis. Obviously, if this happens, I would get other errors related to the instruments in the downstream chassis, but it would be useful to be able to detect if the fiber optic cable was broken or disconnected.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Marcus,
I have a PXI-8108 real-time embedded controller in "Chassis 1" with a PXI-8336 MXI-4 pair extending the PCI bus to "Chassis 2". LabVIEW Real-Time 10.0 and NI-VISA 5.0 are installed on the controller. I am running a real-time executable and using a laptop to display the remote front panel in a browser.
Unfortunately, I discovered today that if I lose the link between the chassis, the controller disconnects and my application stops. Presumably this is due to the PCI bus taking issue with losing half of its devices...
So monitoring the link is a moot point. However, "Bridge Retransmit Count" might still be useful to keep tabs on the health of the bridge or the connection itself. I just don't see any way programmatically to access this info, even though I see it in MAX.

my ipod touch will no longer connect to my laptop because my ipod is not up to date, but it won't find a newer software. what should I do?
the computer is a macbook pro, mac os x 10.6.08 and the ipod touch is ios 6.0.
the problem is that just updated the itunes on the computer and now the ipod won't connect because apparently the itunes on the ipod is not up to date but the iod is telling me that is is up to date, so i can't do a software update. -
May be this question has been asked thousand times. how do I use my mid 2011 iMac ( with thunderbolt) as external monitor for laptop/Xbox or other device with hdmi as output. if apple hasn't removed that feature and has just moved that functinoality to thunderbolt then how can I use it. currently there is no laptop available with thunderbolt output. no 3rd party converter available. whats the use of having feature on latest functionality if we cant use it. I wish they would have made one port has mini-dvi and other thunderbolt for backward compatibility untill some vendor comes up with converter.
It Says :
Mac (21.5-inch, Mid 2011) and iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011) and later computers support Target Display Mode via Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt cable (2 m) when the source is another Thunderbolt-equipped computer.
Name one computer model/vendor which has thunderbolt as output for display + audio. this is so stupid to move to new technology without availbility of its compatible devices. -
I am having trouble with my Ipad. I am a windows user. It says that it hasn't been backed up in 2 weeks. I tried connecting to my laptop but nothing happens.
If you haven't already done so, try it by holding the on/off and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then releasing.

I am unable to backup my iphone 5 iOS 6.0.1 (connected directly to laptop USB) with my itunes 11 for Win 7 64bits. The process starts and fails to complete giving the error: itunes could not complete backup of iphone because iphone disconnected.
I have restarted the PC, the iphone, changed the lightining cable and nothign resolves it: backup never completes.Hi, I disabled the antivirus and the firewall. Same result
I even deleted the backup folder inside C:\Users\...\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup to eliminate any corruption in the old backup files.
Nothing changed: Session either times out or i get the same error message: itunes could not back up iphone because iphone disconnected. It always happens during step 3 out of 4 which is "transfering purchased apps from iphone to PC" and comes after step 2 which is backup.
My iphone 5 is not jailbroken, and is a factory unlocked phone.
Any other suggestion?

My Ipod Touch 5th Generation won't connect to my laptop. My phone however will. What can I do?
My Ipod touch and phone will both charge when plugged into the wall. My phone an iphone 4th generation will connect to my laptop. I have uninstalled and installed itunes as well as checking the Apple USB Drive and neither has helped. Not sure if it matters but my computer was recently updated to Windows 8.1. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I can do? Thanks.
Does it charge?
What model iPhone and iOS connects?
Do you have iTunes 12?
If you are not using the same cable as the phone try another cable.
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I can't connect to Wi-Fi - keeps timing out. No problem connecting from other laptops / phones. Stopped working after I did a system upgrade. What can I do? I am on OS X Yosemite.
Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved. Some of these steps are only possible if you have control over the wireless router.
Step 1
Turn Wi-Fi off and back on.
Step 2
Restart the router and the computer. Many problems are solved that way.
Step 3
Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
Step 4
Run the Network Diagnostics assistant.
Step 5
In OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and fix the issues listed in the Summary, if any.
Step 6
Back up all data before proceeding.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
Step 7
You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
Potential sources of interference
Step 8
Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
Step 9
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
