Dell 2407 monitor

i have the dell 24-in and my card reader is not reading the cards. is it because im using the mac or do i have to get a software to make it work?
thx

You need to connect a USB cable from your Mac to the back of the monitor. After you do that, it should just work.

  • Dell 2407 Monitor entering power save mode immediately!!! :(

    I have a Dell 24" 2407 Monitor hooked up to my 24" iMac (white 2.16GHz core 2 duo). Problem free for the past couple of years, until recently, my monitor keeps going into power save (when the iMac screen is active.
    It's connected via DVI, and the funny thing is, is that the iMac still detects the monitor, but it's in power save mode.
    I plugged the monitor into the MacBook Pro and it worked fine. So I'm guessing it's either the Mini DVI to DVI converter is stuffed OR something is wrong with my iMac. I'll try another dvi cable, otherwise will have to go to shudder VGA until I get a new Mini DVI to DVI converter. Unless anyone else has an idea as to what's going on?

    How about if you open System Preferences Displays pane Display tab... Click on +Gather Windows+ on the display that is working. Then try adjusting things like resolution and +color depth+ on the non-working display to see if that has any effect.
    Have you tried disconnecting the power cord on the display for a few minutes and reconnecting it? Does the display have an on-screen menu, and a command to reset the settings on the display to default?
    A few more tests, if it still does not work.
    Create a new admin user account in System Preferences Accounts pane
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8235.html
    Log out and log in to the new account. In the new account, does the display work or not work properly? If it works in the new account, that would indicate some problem in your regular user account.
    Also try starting up from your Mac OS X installation disc. Does the display work when you are starting up from a different system? If so, that would indicate some problem in your current installed system.

  • MacBook Pro + Dell 2407 WFP Monitor - Which adaptor?

    i have been searching high and low and can't seem to get a definitive answer to this question:
    i just purchased the newest macbook pro with the thunderbolt port.  i have a Dell 2407 wfp monitor.  looks like a 2008 model according to the serial #....
    The monitor has a VGA port and a DVI-D port.
    what adaptor should i buy to get the best resolution??  will it work with the thunderbolt port?

    ok, and that will plug into the thunderbolt port?  i thought thunderbolt was different than mini display...

  • 1080i/29.97 timeline to Matrox MXO 2.0 to Dell 2407

    Just wondering if any problems monitoring with the Matrox MXO --> Dell 2407 were universal or isolated.
    Just when I was about to hit the final "Give Us Your Money Now" button on the Dell shopping cart I started finding posts (mostly in the MXO forum) about refresh rate incompatibilities with the two items. So 1:1 pixel viewing is out (?).
    Is anyone having success with this setup? Is "banding" still a problem?
    I believe Shane was happy with his Dell 24" but I don't know if he has a 2407 or a (discontinued) 2405, and I don't know if he's taken a second look since installing the MXO's 2.0 software.
    I'm a stubborn photographer and I'm already growling at the idea of using an LCD to do color-corrections (even the best ones change contrast every time I move my head one inch). I was considering the Dell over the ACD because I heard is had much better contrast (and price), but if it's a hassle I'd just as well have the MXO downconvert to my trusty 14" SD monitor at least to do the colors.
    (I'm okay with an occasional flicker)
    Thanks,
    B.

    I don't think the frame rate matters (although I hear that 1080/50 PAL is trouble); it's more about the 60 refresh rate of the Dell vs. the 59.94 rate of the MXO. Is this creating a big enough problem that the 2407 can't be used reliably to color-correct 1080 footage 1:1 with a comparable image to the ACD.
    The Bare Feats guy thinks it's a better monitor, but I think he just used it as a desktop monitor, not with FCP and the MXO:
    http://www.barefeats.com/lcd.html
    This guy in the MXO forum seems to feel he got burned trying to use the 2407 with the MXO in Mastering mode:
    http://forum.matrox.com/mxo/viewtopic.php?t=416&highlight=2407
    I wanted to see if your 2407 had the same shortcomings or if the problem was small.

  • New Mac Mini with Lion Video Problem With Dell E228WFP monitor

    Just purchased a new mini Mac 2.3 with Lion pre installed.  I connected to my old Dell E228WFPI monitor via the Mini Display to VGA adapter.  The mini mac worked fine for an hour until I put it to sleep.  It would not rewake.  After rebute the gray screen and apple logo appear with clock, but after clock screen to black and monitor goes to power saver mode.  Took unit to apple store twice and could not resolve problem by changing resolution or other methiods.  Finally, we learned that the system works fine using Belkin HDMI to DVI cable.  This Dell Monitor had DVI connector.  Hope this helps...

    How can a computer that's been turned off (and I mean completely OFF) get a network request? Only a sleeping computer should react to such a request. If you're sure you shut down (Apple Menu, Shut Down), then only an internal power supply or logic board problem should cause this. The only way it could be software is if Lion is not shutting down the computer but is instead putting it to sleep. Is it a new Mac Mini? If so, you should have it replaced or repaired.

  • Can I run two Dell 24" monitors with iMac 27" (5750) in portrait mode

    Hi there, want to putchase the 5750-based iMac 27", but I have a pair of Dell 24" monitors I want to run with it, preferably both in portrait mode. Is this possible? Or if not, is it possible with some sort of adaptor/external graphics card?
    Thanks kindly for any help:)
    Shawn

    HI Shawn Glibson,
    the imac has one video output. a 30 dollar adapter can be used to hook up a DVI display. (mini-display to dv adapter)
    But you can add additional displays through a USB to DVI adapter. For instance see2 xtreame uv200 http://www.trittontechnologies.com/index.php/products/usbvideotechnology/see2-xtreme-uv200/ This is a great solution if you want to have another display for websites, office documents. a USB to DVI adapter isn't that great for 3D games.
    I hope that helps
    TT

  • Using a second DELL 1704 monitor ?

    Hi,
    I want to add my new Dell 1704 monitor as a second monitor to my mac;
    I have purchased the Apple mini dvi adapter cable (how short is that!)
    and have a DVI-i to the DVI-i cable into the dell monitor.
    Ok, so it seems that the MAc knows its connected, as I can drag pages off the MAc screen
    (but it does not show any other screen when I look in the display Preferences page)?
    The dell does not display any image, just blank/black ; however when I disconnect the DVI-i cable it goes into screen sleep/test mode, and likewise wakes up when reconnected
    (in doing so the mac screen also goes Blue, whilst it has a think)
    I DO KNOW that other users on here, use an Imac with this very same DELL 1704 monitor
    (nb I have checked it through VGA with my PC ((Grrr)) and it works fine)
    Any ideas, why the Dell wont display the images ..?
    thanks.

    So what happened when you started up from your Mac OS X installation disc with the Dell display connected?
    I could still be the Dell display, since you are using the VGA connector in one case and the DVI connector in another. The VGA port could be working properly, and the DVI port could be faulty. The display probably has a switch for changing between the using the VGA port and the DVI port. Make sure it is set properly. Also, the display probably has an on-screen menu; be sure to check it for anything related to "sleep" mode. It may also have a recessed reset button to put it back to default settings. If so, try pressing it.
    You are also not using that DVI cable when connecting with VGA, so it could be defective (or not compatible in some way). Unless you actually see an image on the Dell display momentarily before it goes to sleep, I have no idea what being "recognized" means. Even if a display is turned OFF, if the connection is properly recognized by Mac OS X, the screen should appear in System Preferences Displays pane Arrangement tab. If all the pins are not connecting, but some are, there may be some reaction when you connect them, but not actual recognition. So you could try another DVI cable (DVI-D); even a new cable can be bad. Take the adapter with you if you are buying locally, to makes sure the connector pins match.
    The other two connection points are the Mini-DVI adapter and the iMac's port itself. You might try getting a Mini-DVI to VGA adapter, and connecting the Dell display using the VGA port, since the Dell display does work with the PC over it's VGA port.
    As I said, you need to do tests to rule out each of the four possible connection points between the iMac and the Dell display.

  • Yoga 2 Pro with external Dell P2414H monitor - Win 8.1 issues

    I have a UK model Yoga 2 Pro (Core i7/256GB/8GB). Generally happy with it but I have one weird issue that is annoying me.
    The system is fully patched including all Windows updates and latest Lenovo BIOS and drivers.
    At work I have a Dell P2414H monitor connected to my Yoga 2 Pro (micro HDMI to HDMI cable into an HDMI to DVI adapter plugged into the monitor's DVI port).
    Windows recognises the Dell monitor in display settings. I can extend my desktop onto it. I can run the Cleartype Tuner and tune the laptop screen and Dell cleartype settings independently. All good so far...
    In Taskbar and Navigation Properties (right click on the taskbar and select Properties) I expect to see a "Multiple Displays" section on the Taskbar tab with a setting that allows me to extend the taskbar across both screens, as per this link: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows-8/how-connect-multiple-monitors.
    However, whatever I try I never see the "Multiple Displays" settings in Taskbar Properties. I have rebooted with the external screen connected and not connected and tried everything else I can think of but all to no avail.
    Is anyone else seeing a similar issue with an external monitor connected to their Yoga 2 Pro?

    Discovered that if If I make the external monitor my primary screen, not the laptop, then Windows gives me the Multiple Monitor Taskbar settings back. However, I then have screen scaling issues so dialogues and the task bar etc. on the Yoga screen are tiny. Not ideal...

  • Mac Mini I-7 2.0 (server edition) won't work with Dell 2709W monitor via HDMI

    I just got a Mac Mini I7 quad 2.0.  It's the server edition with an HDMI port.  I plug my Dell 2709W monitor in and it continously flickers on and off and shows a green screen and the desktop for short intervals.  Can anyone help with this issue.

    Does the monitor work OK when connected to another HDMI output device?
    Does the Mini HDMI output work OK when connected to another HDMI device?
    You have selected the HDMI input on the monitor, right?

  • Connecting Macbook to Dell U2312HM Monitor

    I'm interested in connecting the Dell U2312HM monitor to my Macbook OS X Version 10.6.8.
    How do I do it? What are the parts that I need to buy?
    Thank you.

    That monitor has Displayport and DVI ports.   Not knowing your age of MacBook it is hard to say what connector you can use.
    Go to System Profiler and lookup your machine identifier.
    It should say something like MacBook 4,1.
    For these models, you'll need both the cables linked below from Apple and Staples:
    MacBook 1,1 through 4,x and 5,2 use a mini-DVI connector and will not directly connect audio to it.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9321G/B/apple-mini-dvi-to-dvi-adapter
    http://www.staples.com/office/supplies/StaplesProductDisplay?storeId=10001&catal ogIdentifier=2&partNumber=972599
    For these Macs, use the cable linked to below their machine identifer:
    5,1 and 6,1 have mini-Displayport connector but no audio directly over it.
    7,1 has audio over mini-Displayport. 
    http://www.cablesforless.com/15-Foot-Mini-DisplayPort-to-HDMI-Cable-P7063.aspx
    USB connectivity on the display may not work, unless you can find a cable that includes USB support with the other ports.  Often dual link connectors have USB cable support, and are more expensive.
    Note: If you have an Air or Pro, please specify that as the connectors are different for those models.

    I'm really guessing here actually since no one answered your post.
    You might find better luck searching on Google "Macbook pro plus Dell monitor" for the most recent information.
    The SwitchREsX is supposed to be very capable and enable more resolutions for other monitors besides Apple ones.
    I think you can hold option/alt when clicking on Displays in System Preferences for a more complete list of options.
    Sorry I can't be of more assistance.

  • Need help connecting Dell U2713HM monitor to MacBook Pro

    What is the best way to connect a Dell U2713HM monitor to MacBook Pro OS 10.7.5 to maximize the resolution 2560 x 1440? I was using a VGA adapter on my old Viewsonic monitor that hooked into the Thunderbolt port, I think. When I use my old adapter with the new Dell monitor, it stops my Mac from responding and the monitor says it has no DVI connection. When I unplug the adapter from my Mac, it starts working again.  I'm not very good with all these port options and descriptions so talk real slow, please.

    1 Dual Link Digital Visual Interface connectors (DVI-D) with HDCP
    1 DisplayPort 1.2 (DP)
    1 High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI)
    1 Video Graphics Array (VGA)
    1 USB 3.0 upstream port
    4 USB 3.0 downstream ports
    Thank you!

  • How do I Connect Dell E2211H monitor to a PPC Mac Mini???

    How do I connect a Dell E2211H monitor to a Mac mini (PPC)

    It looks like the Dell E2211H has both VGA and DVI inputs and the Mac mini (original) has a DVI output port.
    So all you need is a good DVI Cable to connect that Dell to the Mac Mini.
