Drivers for Monitor??

I have just purchased a LG monitor.  Ran the start up disc without problem.  However, I only have my wallpaper photos on screen - nothing else.  So I cannot actually use the monitor to view anything.  Phone LG and they say I need a Mac driver.  Gone onto the Apple shop but can't fine anything.  Help please!

You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen. You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangementtab under the two monitors box.

  • Looking for Monitor drivers...

    Just bought a View Sonic VX2235wm 22" LCD. On my my 1 year old Mini the resolution was set easily to the required 1680X1050. The mac did all the work locating said driver (awesome). The new 5 day old Mini cannot get past the 1400X1050. Cannot seem to find any Mac drivers for OS X at View Sonic. Suggestions?
    Mucho Thanks

    I've been here.. I upgraded to a G5 and completely overlooked the fact that my MOTU PCI interface would no longer work. That was a costly mistake.
    So, I went down the FW route.
    I was fortunate enough to be able to demo the following FW units before making a decision :
    M-Audio FW410 - Nice sound, seemed OK but I did get some pops and clicks from time to time. Didnt bomb though.
    Focusrite Saffire - Sounded great, added bonus of some integrated AU plugins which were OK. However, it bombed out a lot and I couldnt live with it. Too much stress.
    MOTU Ultralite - Sounded excellent, lots of inputs and routing combo options which I didnt really need. Used it solidly for a weekend session, rock solid. I was going to get this one until someone told me to try the TC Electronic device...
    TC Electronic 24D - Couldnt believe how great this sounds. Nice and simple, 2 inputs both with TC Electronic Reverb and Compressor which sound really great. You can also use the device as an AU plugin on the buses in Logic. Midi controller on board too. I ended up buying this because it sounds so good and was reliable. Even if I'd wanted to splash out more for the motu I think this sounds comparable and I've recorded a lot more guitar and bass because the inputs are so good. I also hear that TC will bring out more AU plugins for this as time goes on..
    I hope this helps!

  • HP ZR2740w drivers for Windows 8.1 x64

    Where can I find the drivers for windows 8.1 for this monitor?
    Please note that the Win7 x64 drivers are not accepted by Win8.1 x64.
    Adding it as legacy hardware with the INF provided by the Win7 install program doesn't work either.
    Please help! I bought these two monitors just a year ago and now they're useless already!

    Hey there. I'm also looking for the same. Was there ever anything released?
    Thanks!

  • Can't find drivers for display

    Hi, I can't found drivers for display Toshiba TruBrite.
    That's why I had frequnce on display only 60 Hz.
    Could you help me with this trouble?

    LCD technology is different and cannot be compared to old monitors. LCD displays work on 60 Hz refresh rate and this value is fixed. It cannot be changed.
    Doe to this fact you cannot change it.
    I don't understand what you mean with display definition but if the right (Toshiba offered) driver is preinstalled everything will be OK. There is nothing that must be defined. Absolutely nothing.
    TrueBrite or not there is nothing to be defined.
    So if the display driver is preinstalled and if you use right display resolution everything is OK.
    Be happy and have fun with your toy. ;)

  • Where can I find XP x64 drivers for Portege R500 - hotkey / power management?

    Where can I find downloads that will enable power management or hotkey support for my Portege R500?
    I have already installed drivers for everything except fingerprint reader (don't want), tpm (really don't want), and hdd motion sensor (tos620a) (not bothered about right now). Most drivers are latest from original vendor websites, or, failing those, from Toshiba's Vista 64-bit download areas.
    Everything else generally works: wifi, graphics & chipset, sound, lan, bluetooth stack, cardbus, card reader, etc.
    However, having done this, the following issues remain:
    FN hotkeys don't work for suspend to ram, suspend to disk, *screen* *brightness* - essential to extending lifetime; FN hotkeys for numeric/direction pad, external monitor toggle *do* work
    Dedicated backlight toggle button doesn't do anything
    However, in order to get battery lifetime beyond ~2.5 hours and closer to the rated 7.1 hours, I'll need to turn some things down / off occasionally. What software can help and where can I get it, such that it works on Windows XP x64 edition?
    Note:
    I have tried the xp 32-bit packages that Toshiba supplies, they don't appear to work on x64. The 'ctrls' package requires 'cmod', but 'cmod' gives this error:
    TOSHIBA Common Modules Setup
    Not an ACPI machine. Cannot install TOSHIBA ACPI Logical Device.
    OK
    I have tried the xp 32-bit package called 'pwrsav'; it installs a bad help link to my start menu, and adds a couple of exes, tpsmain and tpsoddctl, to my auto-runs. These 32-bit executables quit immediately after execution.
    I would have tried to install Toshiba's Vista 64-bit packages for hotkeys / common modules / power management, but the only one of the three I can find via toshiba.co.uk are common modules, and unfortunately that zip file only contains .inf, .cat and .sys files, no installer.
    Motivation:
    I'm using a fresh install both because the default Vista install is unusable (900MB memory used on a fresh boot desktop, drive split into multiple partitions, trial, adware and broken software installed left and right)
    I'm using x64 because I'm a software engineer whose next product needs to work on x64, and this new laptop was a likely first candidate

    You didn't link to the tool you found. If you meant this tool then, you should be aware it doesn't work on x64 on R500:
    Display Tuner
    Cannot detect monitor!
    Your monitor does not support DDC control or your videocard is not supported by Display Tuner.
    You cannot use Display Tuner in this configuration.
    OK
    It would be unlikely to work in any case, as display driver brightness isn't normally the same as the screen's brightness (hence power usage).
    Maybe it's a communication issue, but I *have* found +original+ drivers for all essential components, just not for things like screen brightness - something that, to be honest, I more expect to be handled in firmware / bios, as that's been my experience on previous laptops, and is more reliable in any case, considering I could be running an oddball Linux or a completely different OS, or a CPU-intensive high-priority task.
    The R500 series seem to be scrimping on the firmware and expecting OS utilities and dedicate yet another system tray icon to take over that job.
    It does look like x64 is a no-go for mobile use on this machine, due to lack of firmware power management, which is a great pity as the point of such a light machine is mobility. I'll wipe it and install XP 32-bit and see how that goes.

  • In search of drivers for ATI Radeon 7000

    I recently purchased a used ATI Radeon 7000 PCI video card for my G3 beige, OS 9.2.2. This is an older model card with just the single VGA output. This comes up as card name "ATI, Bluestar", and card model "ATI, RV100" under Apple System Profiler so I'm a bit confused about that to start with. However, since ASP recognizes it I guess it seems to work though I haven't plugged my monitor into it yet.
    The problem is the drivers.
    I went to ATI's website to look for drivers to download to get this card working. They have an OS9 updater (ati-retail-9-2-2-jan2005.hqx) that should install a bunch of components. When I run it it only installs a partial set, contrary to what it says it should do. I've seen other postings on Apple Discussions about problems with this installer. ATI seems to make it impossible to contact them other than by telephone which is only open to original purchasers so I can't even tell them there's a problem (much less expect them to do anything about it). A search for Bluestar or RV100 reveals nothing on ATI's website.
    Has anybody gotten this installer to work? Is there some other source for drivers for this card? Can somebody e-mail them to me (I don't think this violates any rules since in theory they are openly down-loadable)?
    Thanks,
    Brian
    G3 beiges:DT, 9.2.2, 120GBide; DT, 9.2.2/OS X.3, 120GBide; MT, 8.6/9.2.2, 128MB,    

    Thanks to all for answering my questions. I decided in the end to just plug my monitor into the card and give it a try despite not haveing the groundwork properly set up. It works so it must be a Mac version of the card. This website (http://www.welovemacs.com/radeon7000vga.html) describes the card, including the model number (but I paid a LOT, LOT less than their price!).
    Yes, the installer does put all kinds of things in the System, but not the promised control panel. It looks like the CP isn't essential to the working of the card so I'm not worrying anymore. I used the Apple monitors control panel to set the resolution a few times but it froze up on me once when setting it to 640x480. After that I pulled a copy of Super Res that I had in storage and have been using that.
    As to the graphics acceleration, it's kind of hard to tell. I tried viewing a mp4 video clip I have with Quicktime 6. Before the card I could maybe watch a minute before my computer would freeze up. Now I can watch maybe 3 minutes before it freezes up, but the video is very jerky, even when compared to the one minute before card installation. I may now be experiencing the limitations of my 266 MHz G3 in terms of decoding mp4, but this doesn't explain why video seemed smoother before, brief though it was before a freeze.
    I then tried a video game. Actually video wasn't too slow with this even with my old configuration. Now things seem to hesitate when the play gets busy and it remids me of when I used to play Crystal Quest on a Mac SE. In this case the card has made things slower.
    With general scrolling I don't really notice a difference. There's still hesitation at times. In all the cases I have mentioned the ATI thing in the menu bar says grahics acceleration is on.
    So in actuality I haven't really noticed any improvement with this card. If anybody has any tips on ways to tune the system to take more advantage of the card I'd welcome them.
    Thanks,
    Brian

  • How to use Labview drivers for USB-CAN Adapter

    Hi,
    I just recently started working with CAN and I have a PCAN-USB adapter. I'm trying to create a programme for monitoring a series of CAN based devices and I've found Labview drivers at the link below. However, I'm not really sure how to start. I have the specs for the device but I don't know how to proceed. 
    Should I create messages and channels and a data base in MAX first?  If anyone has programmed with this dongle before please give me a guide how you went about it. 
    Labview drivers - http://www.labviewportal.eu/en/device-i-o/82-pcan-usb-driver.
    Thanks 

    I have not used this specific CAN adapter, but I have used other CAN adapters from both NI and other companies.  The CAN database in MAX is useful only if you are using an NI CAN device.  For all other CAN devices you need to use the format that the library uses; most likely that will be raw CAN frames.
    If you do want to use the NI-CAN interface on top of the PCAN library, you can use NI-CAN virtual channels 255 and 256.  These are internally connected, so that anything you send on one is received on the other.  This makes it possible to do translation between raw frames and channels defined in a database, by opening one interface for frames and the other for channels.  You read raw frames from the real device and send them to CAN255, then read them on CAN256; for writing, you do the opposite.  However, this still requires understanding how to read and write raw frames on the underlying device, so I'd start there.

  • Why are drivers for older hp scanners not available?

    I have an older HP scanner (5730c) that works perfectly [and I need it and use it all the time].  Now with the upgrade to Lion, it does not work with my Mac.  HP does not have a fix (e.g. new driver) for this problem.
    Lucky me - HP is going down the tubes and I wont have to even consider buying another of their products!
    HOWever: Auto manufacturers are required, by law, to maintain a supply of parts/components on their products for years after the model has been discontinued.
    WHY does the computer bsns not have to do the same thing?  Some products that I have had in the past continued to work just fine long after the product/line has been "improved".  BUT parts and software were no longer available!
    Is it not time that this problem is FIXED?  Not everyone has deep pockets to replace perfectly good products just to keep the industry happy.
    Does ANYone know of a fix for my scanner??????

    HP are hopeless at updating drivers for OSx.
    I have a scanjet 3570 that works under windows, but has not worked under OSX since 10.4.11
    As for printer at least Apple do write CUPS drivers for many devices including HP printers.
    Halfcrak - There is a differing protocol for driver support in OSx as Apple do try to build in many MORE simple support drivers as standard and for a variety of gadgets, rather than relying on venders in the windows world.
    This does lead to more reliable plug and play however may be at the expense of special features/functions offered by venders under Windows.
    Suffice to say OSx still needs drivers to interface with printers. monitors, scanners USB devices etc.......
    As for ios and Airprint compatible printers this assumes the drivers actually remain on the printer and communicating over email to send the print command.

  • Monitor view weird , can't find drivers or monitor model here

    I just picked up my montior at a Bargain Center , it is a new monitor , but i cant find the model here on HP's site  ,  it says on the back tag  , TSS-25BG  , and i searched and can not find this model
    My issue is that every website i go to the image is in the center and not filling the screen  , i tried Windows settings , but nothing i did changed anything , i tried adjusting the broswer settings (it look the same in Firefox , and Google Chrome)  , even on this site , everything is bunched into the middle of the screen    , in my device Manager , it just says Generic Plug and Play Monitor , so i thought maybe the driver needs to be installed , but as mentioned  , i can't find my model on this site   , any info would be appreciated
    FRESH (today) installation of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit on brand new 1tb Sata HD  , Fresh Firefox , fresh  Google Chrome , ALL Windows Updates done today , and completely up to date  , i don't know if this will solve my issue , but i would like the correct drivers for the monitor anyway  , any idea's ??   ... Thanks ... Jim
    EDIT:
    I just ran Belarc Advisor to scan my PC for hardware and software , and it says my montitor is a HP model 2509  , S/N 3CQ1161S5  , which is not what the back label says (what i posted above) , so i am confused  , the next question is , what 2509 model is it  , i thought i saw several ??  , for HD montiors i only saw 2  , a  2509M  and a  2509P , they are both HD Value monitors , which mine is HD , but which one ??
    EDIT2:
    After reading all the info for the 2509 montiors , i have determined that mine is the 2509M , so i downloaded and installed the Driver and Manual for that ... it did not change the view , so i am now guessing this is a Windows 7 issue to do with wide screen monitors and how it shows images , so i will try the Microsoft forums and see if i find any answers

    i need help guys mi karaoke videos aren't playing anymore how can i download some drivers for it ?

    Drivers? You need a program to run them such as K-Jams. Then you will need to check your connections from the laptop to the monitor and make sure your settings are correct in System Preferences.
    Good Luck

  • How to install drivers for ati radeon 3200?and how to config xorg.co ?

    how to install drivers for ati radeon 3200?and how to config xorg.conf?

    Hello
    I am using ati hd 3200 which is integrated with my motherboard. If you are using arch you can download & install through pacman. The package is named like catalyst*. You can install them by issuing as root user
    #pacman -Sy
    #pacman -S -l | grep -i catalyst
    #pacman -S catalyst catalyst-utils
    After installation reboot your machine in runlevel 1. (single mode).  Ensure "fglrx" module is loaded correctly using
    #lsmod | grep -i fglrx
    If the resultant output have "fglrx" part  the module is loaded correctly. The next step is to create a working /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Backup your current xorg.conf if needed.
    #cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bkup
    Then issue
    #aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf
    This will create a new xorg.conf file. Now we can test our confign.
    #telinit 3
    I am using runlevel 3 to avoid graphic messup!!
    issue
    #gdm
    If you graphical login screen works correctly there is nothing to do more except adjust your monitor resoloution as you like.
    To know your ati driver is working correctly issue as root
    #fgl_glxgears
    If gears are rolling happily it seems correct. You can also know more about installed ati driver
    #fglrxinfo
    Now the installed driver version is in the output 
    If there is any problem try following
    ##### Soloutions to solve various display problems using ATI Catalyst Drivers in Linux #####
    yes video playback is choppy until i ran :-
    sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv
    Try adding the following to the 'Device' section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    Option "TexturedVideo" "true"
    ### This is a half solution for mythtv problems. Run mythtv in window (no full screen) If You have a screen resolution of 1024x768 try the command;
    mythfrontend --geometry 800x600
    Append the "Device" Section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf file as follows;
    Section "Device"
    Identifier "Videocard0"
    Driver "fglrx"
    Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off"
    Option "VideoOverlay" "on"
    Option "TexturedVideo" "on"
    Option "TexturedVideoSync" "on"
    Option "Capabilities" "0x00000800"
    BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
    EndSection
    Add following in the .bashrc of each user or /etc/bashrc file* Most Effective In My Case!!
    export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=true
    ####### Arch Linux - Add the "nopat" option to the /boot/grub/menu.lst or /boot/grub/grub.conf
    ####### as in the following example
    title  Archlinux Ice Kernel
    root   (hd0,1)
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz26-ice root=/dev/sda2 ro resume=/dev/sda3 quiet splash nopat
    initrd /boot/kernel26-ice.img

  • Missing WinXP drivers for Satellite A300/A305

    I bought a satellite a305-s6829 in US. I changed the OS to XP.
    My problems re the following:
    1) i have 3 devices that remain unknown and Toshiba USA has published incomplete XP drivers for this model.
    I don't know which hardware are not functioning and have no idea how to identify them. At first I installed a program that's supposed to identify these unknown devices but it lists all the hardware in the laptop! So how am I supposed to know which ones are unknown.
    The device list is long and it is kind of difficult to isolate the unknown devices.
    2) I am unable to find the ACPI Common modules for Win XP for this model. Is there a compatible ACPI module for the A300/A305 from other models?
    I am unable to install the other important utilities for the laptop since I don't have this, e.g. power management.
    3) Ever since installing XP, I am experiencing BSOD.
    I am not sure what's causing it. Maybe it is related to no. 2, i don't know. Has anyone else experienced this?
    Can somebody help me with these issues?
    Thanks

    I had as of sept 12/2008 the same problem with a satellite A305, spent weeks finding drivers for XP, thought I had them all and installed the OS from 0, Everything worked great... at least I thought so. Then I noticed no "fn" keys working for turning down the brightness of the screen and preventing the system from draining the batteries, so looked for hours for the solution. Downloaded through the support page:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
    The drivers you are supposed to download for Windows XP are: common module, hotkey and zooming utility. Be careful there are two versions of hotkey available. Only one works so just try them, now I have amore decent way to switch between monitors, and controlling the brightness. When you turn off brightness goes back to the highest.... but it works, I can even suspend or hibernate my system.
    I don't know why Toshiba keeps telling people that my system had not such a driver for win XP, the truth is, it is not the best but works, and besides all the "conspiracy" of laptop manufacturers pushing us into Vista and us trying to resist, we have to fight in order to keep alive XP waiting for the final successor of XP to be born. I am a Microsoft fan but... no comments about Vista anymore, just switch to XP and enjoy having your system ready (full of applications) in only 1 minute and 40 seconds, hibernate it in 20, have it back and ready in 35, and the list of fast speeds of XP goes on and on.... hope you can solve the problem is just a matter of time to spend in front of your laptop.
    IT CAN BE DONE, do not ask TOSHIBA, they'll tell you cant.

  • FCPX crashes all the time using the Intensity Pro Card for monitor preview wassup?

    I have been using FCPX for a few months and I like it somewhat and could really love it for it not crashing on all my projects. If I scrub the timeline or apply a filter it crashes. I'm using the Blackmagic Intensity Pro card for monitor output and the latest drivers that they put out and can't really get through a project because it crashes all the time.I thought that if i get a different display card it would possible help I have the GForce 120 card which only has 256MB ram.Can anybody put some light on the issue?

    FCP X currently does not support Intensity Pro cards.
