Connecting a 2009 MBO to Runco Projector

I cannot get my MBP to connect to my Runco VX-1000D projector (native res. of 720p). I am using an original Apple mini display to DVI adapter (the Runco has DVI in).
It recognizes the projector's external video processor (DHD) but no image is seen on the projector. I have tried EVERYTHING, including selecting all the resolutions and refresh rates, using mirrored or extended display settings, changing DVI cables, etc. but still no luck.
The projector simply does not detect a signal!
Any ideas????

Have you ever had the Runco connected to any Mac, like your iMac for example? Did that work?
It's not impossible that the adapter is bad right out of the package. It has happened to others.

  • What adapter do I need to connect my 2009 Macbook Pro to my 2007 iMac?

    What adapter do I need to connect my 2009 Macbook Pro to my 2007 iMac? I get really confused with all of the different cables out there an I want to make sure I get the correct one.
    Macbook Pro Model is: Late 2009, 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)
    iMac Model: Late 2007, 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 667 MHZ DDR2 SDRAM, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)
    Thanks!

    The 2007 iMac does not support cabled input. see > Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
    Like Niel suggest's, your only option is to use a network based connection like > ScreenRecycler

  • Can't connect my 2009 macbook pro to new 2011 LG TV

    I just got a new LG LED LCD TV and I'm trying to connect my 2009 macbook pro to it. I bought a Belkin Mini Display Port to HDMI Adapter at the Apple Store. I also bought the Apple HDMI to HDMI 1.8m cable to connect the computer to the TV. I set up the video fine by using System Preferences-Display. Unfortunately, the sound does not work though. I bought a Dynex stereo mini to RCA "Y" cable to connect my computer's head phone jack to the Audio In RGB/DVI port on my TV. The problem is that I can only get sound to work when I set the input on my TV to AV1. I can only get the video to work when I have the input set to HDMI/DVI. I need to be able to get them to work simultaneously. Can anyone offer me some advice?

    Unfortunately, you won't find your TV audio in the System Pref > Sound section. Macbook pro's, before 2010, don't have the ability to send and audio signal through the mini display port. They can only send video. Apple added the new hardware for audio in the 2010 models. You have to use a seperate audio cable from your MBP earphone jack and plug it into your TV. This can be a problem sometimes too. Depending on your TV. I ran an HDMI cable to my TV and I plug my MBP earphone jack into my portable Bose player. That works pretty good.
    I think you need to go into System Preferences>Sound, and make sure the output is through the Headphone Port.

  • HT1338 cannot connect my MacBook Air to a projector  -does not detect and 2nd monitor. I have a new Mini port to VGA cable made by apple. When I read online I see that many people have the same problem - Is this an Apple defect??????????????????

    I cannot connect my MacBook Air to a projector - It will not detect a 2nd monitor or display. I am using an Apple made Mini Display port to VGA adapter. As I read online I see that many other peple are having the same problem. Is this an Apple defect!!???? If so it just burst the bubble about how great macs are. I never had a problem with that on a PC. I hope I am wrong. What can you tell me?

    Hi There,
    I have had the exact same issue but with a projector.
    The issue lies with Mountian Lion 10.8.2.
    I tried many a combination with no luck to get HDMI working.
    Took my mac into the apple store and came to the conclusion it was the software, so I asked them to install 10.8 onto it (this is destructive so a backup is a must)
    Bought my macbook home and voila, now displaying through my projector.
    There is a small graphics update after 10.8.1 which seems to be the cause.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

  • I am trying to connect a Macbook Pro to a projector for a Powerpoint presentation. When I use a VGA cable, the color of the projected images are not good. When I use a USB cable, the projected image includes the presenter notes on my computer screen?

    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    and select the Library that you moved.  That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
    Your first option didn't work because you imported one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
    Your second option didn't work because you simply referenced her library on the old machine.

  • How do I connect early 2009 mac mini to Sony FD Trinitron TV

    I am trying to connect my 2009 (2.0 ghz) Mac Mini to a Sony WEGA XBR TV. I have many cables/adapters trying to accomplish this but once the mini starts, all I get is a black screen. The TV appears to be receiving a signal but the screen remains black. I read on a forum that the Apple mini DVI to Video Adapter I bought yesterday won't work on my mini (?). My Sony is not an HDMI model. I guess my choice is component and S-video. My TV is capable of 1080i.  What am I doing wrong?   Thank you for your help!  My exact TV if this helps is 40XBR700 FD Trinitron.  Mac Mini is using most current Snow Leopard OS.

    Thank you for your reply -
    The TV is a Sony FD Trinitron and the video inputs are S-video, composite and component up to HD 1080i.
    The mini is 2009, 2.0 ghz.  We tried using the DVI output from the mini using DVI adapters DVI-D to DVI-I to component with dip switches for various resolutions all the way up to 1080i and 16:9.  Tried  Apple mini DVI to composite and s video.  To this point - no luck on those combinations.  Thank you!

    Composite is analogue with one connector. That is why it is called composite
    Component is analogue with three connections. I think one for each color
    Here is the one for component. I misread composite for component

    Hi There,
    Whenever I hook up a projector that doesn't work with my MacBook (when it shows just a blank, black screen), the first thing I try is going to System Preferences > Displays and setting the resolution of my desktop to 800x600.
    Nine times out of ten, the projector starts right up and works perfectly.

  • HT201335 Can I connect an Ipad wirelessly to a projector?

    Can I connect an Ipad wirelessly to a projector?

    Epson has a bit of software called EasyMP for PC's or Macs - this can be used wired USB / VGA / HDMI - or used wirelessly from either device without too much trouble.
    If you give the Projector an IP Address in its own "Settings" Menu and then connect wirelessly using Epson's iProjection App for the iPad it should work.

  • Connecting the ipad to a data projector when projector is on the ceiling

    I am trying to connect the ipad to a data projector when projector is on the ceiling. I have the VGA cord but it is way to short ...is there another cord to connect the both?

    It is my understanding that the dgital adapter will give you full video mirroring over HDMI from the iPad 2, although there are some reported models of TVs and projectors that have issues, but that analog signaling, such as VGA, is limited to apps specifically written to provide access to that type of video connection.

  • How to connect a 2009 Cinema Display with mini DisplayPort to modern card

    Hello:
    I am ready to install a new NVidia Quadro K5000 for Mac in my not so old Mac Pro 4,1 (2009). I already installed Mountain Lion (10.8.3) as required. The problem is that the Mac Pro came with a Led Cinema Display which apparently only can be connected with a mini DisplayPort plug and the graphics card only have DVi and DP 1.2. I tried to find an adapter but the ones I have find are minidp male to DVI female and obviously I need a minidp female to DVI or DP female.
    I will appreciate any help.
