Connection of two screens on PA3508E-1PRP port replicator

Hello,
Does somebody know if we can connect two screens on this port replicator ? and use with the "extend my desktop" option in Windows ?
Thanks you
Regards

It seems you speak about the Toshiba Express Port-Replikator for Portg M400.
In my opinion the Express Port-Replikator supports RGB & DVI simultaneous usage only if notebook system unit itself also supports RGB & DVI simultaneous usage.

Tecra A9 - Connecting two external displays using Express Port Replicator

Hi,
I have a Tecra A9 and Express Port Replicator.
I'm trying to connect 2 external displays, one connected on the notebook output and the other connected on the docking station (notebook lid closed, not using the notebook display).
I can only get one to work, does anyone know if this is possible?

Hi
I think you want to connect one monitor to VGA and the other to DVI port.
Is it right?
Well, I found this doc:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB7B0201000CR01.htm
It depends on the used Tecra A9, if you can get a picture on the DVI out port on the Express Port Replicator (PA3508E-1PRP) or not.
The DVI port on the on the Express Port Replicator is only supported on machines with ATI or nVidia graphic card.
If you have a INTEL graphic card the DVI port on the on the Express Port Replicator is NOT supported.

How to Disable WiFi for Portege R830 + Port Replicator& External Keyboard

Dumb questions I'm sure, but this is driving me nuts.
I have a Port Replicator with external keyboard and monitor attached. The Port replicator has an wired Ethernet connection to my LAN. When I dock my R830 into the Port Replicator I'd ideally like it to turn off the wireless adapter, but as a minimum I definitely want it to default to using the wired LAN connection not WiFi.
Currently it just seems to randomly decide to either use the wired or wireless connection when I dock.
So ... two part question:
1. How can I set the R830 to automatically default to a wired Ethernet connection when I dock?
2. How can I disable the wireless connection when I'm docked and using an external keyboard (the F8 toggle to turn wireless on/off on the laptop keyboard doesn't work on external keyboards)
Many thanks in advance for your advice.

> How can I set the R830 to automatically default to a wired Ethernet connection when I dock?
If the port replicator is connected to the LAN then the notebook would use the LAN connection automatically if you connect the R830.
> How can I disable the wireless connection when I'm docked and using an external keyboard (the F8 toggle to turn wireless on/off on the laptop keyboard doesn't work on external keyboards)
Well, in such case you can use the internal keyboard to switch off the Wlan using Fn + F8

Is Port Replicator from Tecra 9100 compatible with Tecra M5?

I have a port replicator (model PA3082E 1PRP) for my malfunctioning 3 year old Tecra 9100. I am buying a Tecra M5. Do I need to get a new Port Replicator for the M5 or is my old one compatible with the new computer?

Hi
I think it should be compatible.
But on the Toshiba options and accessories site I have found only these supported devices with M5:
Advanced Port Replicator III PA3314E-1PRP
Advanced Port Replicator III plus PA3474E-1PRP
USB 2.0 Port Replicator II (Ethernet / EU Version) PX1173E-1PRP
USB 2.0 Port Replicator II (Ethernet / UK Version) PX1173U-1PRP
In my knowledge this are the newest port replicators which are available maybe therefore the old devices are not listed.
I think you could try to connect carefully the notebook with your old port replicator.

I just bought a new iMac and now I am trying to use it as a screen for my Macbook pro, but it don't have a Mini DisplayPort the new model only have Thunderbolt which my Macbook don't have. Is there any way to connect this two mac's anyway??

Screen sharing setup in 10.5, 10.6 are described by the links by operating system. 10.7 is fairly similar to 10.6.
And if both Macs have Firewire, you can setup a Firewire over IP network for fast communication between machines. Note if you have two different Firewire ports a 6 pin to 9 pin Firewire cable does exist. There are no Firewire to USB cables.

I would like to connect a monitor to my mac to use two screens, what cord will I need?

I would like to connect a 'non mac monitor' to my mac to use two screens, what cord will I need?

Have you found your question yet?
Well as you can tell this isn't very active especially when your asking a question in a cross platform trouble shooting forum.
You don't say what computer you have so no one can even guess, you should put the model/year of the computer your on and the Mac OS version your using into your profile so we can help you better. (Example, 2010 MacPro, OS10.6 and Windows 7.)
Try here and pick your computer to get more help. Click on the Communities link and then the Discussions link and you should find a post that has already asked your question or you can search and you should find a bunch also.
From what I understand your Mac needs to support dual monitors and you need to have 2 video ports available and just get an adapter if needed for the connection between the computer and the monitor.

I am trying to connect a 24" cinema display with mini display port cable to a 24" imac with a displayport - is there a cable for this as these two connections are two different sizes

Hi Gilly,
I have no proof, but I think it will not work with an adapter, only Mini Display Port or Thunderbolt.

Firewire device looses connection when external screen is inserted into the thunderbolt port? HELP

HI
I am a recording studio engineer. Ive got a Firewire AD/DA Converter (Focusrite Saffire Pro 56) running from my Firewire port of my MacBook Pro, which is running OSX Mavericks. I've also got an external Screen I want to use as an extended display. I'm using a HDMI cable from the screen to a HDMI to Thunderbolt Converter which I then plug into my Thurderbolt Port.
As soon as I plug the screen in, the Firewire Port looses connection completely and I cant use or even choose the Saffire Pro 56 as audio driver. Another thing happens where the Thunderbolt port replaces the Saffire Pro 56 Driver with the screen as the audio output source.
Please help, there's nothing I can find to fix this.
Thanks Maurice

You don't mention which model you have, but this is from the M-Audio Firewire 410 Manual Troubleshooting section:
The FireWire 410 has been designed to give you high performance and professional quality audio. It has been tested under a wide range
of systems and operating conditions. In the real world, however, there is a nearly infinite number of possible operating scenarios, any of
which could affect your system’s performance. Much like owning an automobile, “your mileage may vary.” This section can not begin to
cover all possible issues you may encounter, however we want to give you some suggestions on common problems you may experience.
One thing to avoid is connecting too many devices. The FireWire bus is a dependable, high-speed, high-bandwidth protocol which is ideally
suited for digital audio. Nonetheless, it’s important to remember that audio and multimedia streaming places considerable demands on
your processor and the FireWire bus. Although it is theoretically possible to chain many multiple FireWire devices in series, doing so may
potentially degrade your audio performance.
I guess this degradation could also affect the Firewire HD. Maybe there is a simple fix, but it sounds like the M-Audio people have been down this road before.

Port Replicator loses connection to 2 external monitors and moves all the windows to the main screen

I recently purchased a Lenovo USB 2.0 Port Replicator with Digital Video (0A33942) to use with my Lenovo ThinkPad E530 laptop and two external monitors. One of the monitors is plugged into the port replicator with a VGA cord and the other one is plugged in directly into the laptop also with VGA.
The issue I'm having is randomly during the day, both screens will go blank, when they come back up everything that was open on the second screen gets moved to the main one. This happens about 15 times a day and although not a life threatening issue, it's still more of an annoyance moving everything back to the second screen as it was originally set up.
I have gone to Power Options and I have switched the sleep mode to 'Never'. Anyone have any suggestions? This is really driving me nuts. I tried calling Lenovo support and they told me this wasn't in "their scope" of support issues.
Thanks

this is a driver incompatibility issue, it happens with some displaylink devices. I had this problem with the Lenobo USB 2.0 port replicator before.
Since the E530 has USB 3.0, i suggest you get a Lenovo's USB 3.0 dock, which will support 2 external LCD (but only one of the dvi on the dock can be converted to vga).

Two screens although there is no second connected

Hi,
I recently discovered that my 2008 Mac Pro (connected to a 30" Apple Display, Mountain Lion 10.8.4) shows two screens when I log in with screen sharing. I then tested it on the machine itself and yes, there was a second screen (800x600) in the upper right corner "virtually connected" to my MacPro - although there is just the 30" display physically connected.
This phenomena reappears even after a restart.
No, there is no second display connected via AirDisplay or so. When I look into the system profiler there is
It doesn't bother me but I still want to understand it. And maybe even disable it.
Any ideas?
This is a screenshot of the sharing session (the rectangles are inserted by me before uploading, they are not artifacts. Actually is it a screenshot of a movie).
Thanks in advance for any ideas!

Hi Malcolm,
yes it is.

You could connect a FireWire Blu-Ray drive and use non-Apple player software.

I have a macbookpro with a second monitor connected using an Apple connector. The two screens show different parts of the desktop. My cat walked across the keyboard, and now the two monitors are showing the same thing. How do I undo what the cat did?

Have you tried HELP in FINDER? If you open HELP and enter 'displays' in the field in the upper right hand corner you will get a list of topics on setting up monitors. Specifically read 'Setting up multiple displays to show the same image' and 'Setting up multiple displays as an extended desktop'.
Ciao.

Can you move the screen menus from dvi port 1 to dvi port 2 - tweak?

Ive a 30 inch display and a 20 inch connected to my g5 - its two dvi connectors but only port 2 sends a max res to the 30" where the dvi port 1 sends around half the res options.
The 30" looks daft on a small res - so I need to plug it into port 2 to get it right, but this means that my computer all runs off a tiny 20" - what can I do other than turn off the the second screen till I get a fix?
cheers guys!

In the "Arrangement" pane of "Displays" System Preference, drag the picture of the menu bar to the picture of the other display.

Using just the TV screen when using HDMI port?

Hi,
I have the Macbook Pro with retina display and I was wondering how I could use just the TV screen when using HDMI port. I don't want mirroring displays, just one on the TV.

With the TV connected and the MBP plugged into the mains (i.e. not running on battery power) close the lid. The MBP will go to sleep, wake it up with an external keyboard or mouse - which must be connected in advance, or paired in advance if a bluetooth keyboard/mouse.

Phone stuck on connect to itunes screen after update attempt

Hi, hope someone can help me. I connected my iPhone to my computer to transfer my photos from the phone to the PC. I have automatic syncing turned off.
When I connected, I was prompted to update the iTunes version, which I did. It's now version 9. Then I attempted to update the iPhone version. I got a message saying I had to transfer my purchases first, which I did. Then I tried the update again. The update seemed to take awhile, then I got a message saying it failed. There was a "More Information" button which just prompted me to send info to Apple, which I did. Unfortunately I didn't save the info.
At that point all my iPhone info no longer showed in iTunes, and the only active option is Restore. It does say "Your iPhone software is up to date," which would seem to indicate that the update did work...I tried disconnecting and reconnecting my phone. When I do this, I get the message "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."
I would rather not Restore the phone unless I have no other options, since I have 600 pics, contacts, etc on the phone...Of course not backed up since this is the first time I've tried to transfer data.
So I tried a few things:
- I disconnected and reconnected the phone several times.
- I restarted the computer several times.
- I went to the Apple site and tried the troubleshooting steps for "stuck on connect to itunes screen" (which is what my phone is currently doing).
- I ran the diagnostic checks in iTunes (output below - I ran this while the phone was plugged in yet it says it's not found).
- I held down the Home and the Sleep/Wake button until I see the Apple icon.
- I went to My Computer > Manage and tried to update drivers, but the phone doesn't show in the device manager.
- I tried a different USB port and there are no other devices connected to the machine.
Nothing worked, my phone is stuck on the connect to iTunes screen and I get the error message every time I plug it in. I haven't tried another computer bc I don't have one and I'm not sure how to create/use another user account on this machine.
I wouldn't mind calling support but my phone doesn't work...Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Your only choice at this point is to restore your iphone. Since it appears from your post that you have never synced to this computer, you of course will not have a backup to restore from. That means your only choice is to restore as a new device & re-sync your itunes content. Unfortunately, all of your contacts, calendars, pics in your camera roll, etc., will be lost. Its not a good idea to use the iphone or any phone for that matter as a storage device, as things like this can & do happen. You should be syncing on a regular basis. The first thing done when you do sync is an iphone backup. You should also transfer pics in your camera roll to a supported application on your computer on a regular basis, much like any digital camera. You can always sync pics back to your phone, but if the only copies are on the phone, you run the risk of losing them.
See if you can force the phone into recovery mode:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
