DVI question - not recognizing monitor

I just bought a new lG L203WT monitor and I get nothing when I hook it up to my MPB. When I hook it up the following way it works fine: Apple DVI to VGA adaptor -- provided VGA to DVI cable -- DVI in on monitor -- RGB input selection on monitor.
Its not the DVI to DVI cable, it works with other (dell) monitors off of my MBP. Any thoughts? Is my computer not able to communicate with the monitor or something?
thanks.

Yeah, I see that I wasn't very clear, either. What I was trying to say is like what BadPenn has already said. It's like with a television; when you want to switch from watching say cable to watching say a DVD, you have to use the TV's remote to switch the TV's input. Computer monitors don't have remotes, but they do need to be switched from one input to another, e.g. from VGA to DVI, when you try and drive it from a different cable/interface. There should be a front panel switch or shortcut on the monitor for doing this. Or you might have to go into its menu system.

  • Mini not recognizing monitor

    I have a late 2009 Core 2 Duo/2.53GHz Mac Mini.
    My old 24-inch LCD monitor was having problems so I had to send it for repairs. I have a 22-inch Samsung and 17-inch Samsung that I have tried connecting to the Mini and both come-up blank upon booting.
    First tried the 22-inch using the Mini-DVI to DVI adapter connected to the monitor DVI; no luck. Then tried the same monitor with a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter connected to the monitor VGA. Still no luck.
    Then I tried the 17-inch using the Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter connected to the monitor VGA. It still comes-up blank.
    Both of these monitors work when hooked-up to my IBM laptop.
    Looks like the Mini is not detecting the monitors. How do I force it to see the monitor? I'm flying blind here.
    Please help.

    mh.. whenever i connected another display to my mini, it took some time for the mini to detect it. if it took to long, i turned the monitor on and off several times, while connected to the mini and suddenly it was detected.
    another thing you can try, is to reset PRAM. (holding cmdalt+PR while booting until third chime). that should reset the resolution, if resolution is a problem here.

  • Monitor not recognized by Mac anymore?????

    Hi
    This is big and what is APPLE doing to solve this issue??
    I just copy some posts from the forum to show how big this issue is, there is 8 more pages with the same problem, and i am one of them!!!!
    HELP!!!! WE ARE FREAKING OUT HERE AND NEED A SOLUTION!!!
    Yes, me. I have an HP w2207 who worked with my 3 y.o. old MacBook (OS 10.4.??) via the DVI-port flawlessly. Then bought a brandnew MacBook Pro with 10.6.X and the external monitor stopped being recognized. It works now that I have changed the connection to the VGA-port of the monitor (and bought yet another adapter for the MacBook Pro) but the quality is not what I'm used to.

    Yes. I've tried 7 different Macs including a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard (10.6.2) and my external monitor doesn't work with it either.
    For me here's a recap:
    Installed SL on a Mac Pro connected to a 23" Cinema via DVI and Olevia 537 via HDMI Input #1 and now that input no longer works with Mac computers.
    Reinstalled 10.5.8 on the Mac Pro and HDMI #1 still didn't work, so I plugged the Mac into HDMI #2 and it worked.
    Reinstalled SL on the Mac Pro connected to a 23" Cinema via DVI and Olevia 537 via HDMI Input #2 and now that input no longer works with Mac computers.
    Since then, every device (PCs, DVD Players, Video Cameras, etc...) I connect to either of the HDMI inputs work fine. However, neither HDMI input works with ANY of the 7 different Macs (regardless of OS version) I've tried, except for a 10-year-old G4 running Panther or Tiger.
    The monitor had previously worked with the MacPro (HDMI input #1) and a G5 (HDMI input #2) for almost 2 years.
    When I plug the MacPro into any other monitor via HDMI, it works fine. Same thing with the G5.
    My theory is still that the installer for Snow Leopard somehow made my monitor's HDMI inputs incompatible with Macs. I'm so frustrated that I'm ready to buy a new monitor, but since there's no guarantee that a new monitor won't be adversely affected by Snow Leopard, I'm still dubious.

    Another "me too" post...
    Not sure exactly when it stopped working (since I don't use it every day) but my Viewsonic VX2455wm stopped working with my MacBook recently too. Checked with another MacBook (six months newer than my Late 2006 model) and that exhibited the same problem. Both machines have fully patched Snow Leopard installs. Both started with Tiger. Mine is regularly connected to the external monitor, the other has never been connected. I'm connecting using a DVI cable and a mini-DVI-DVI adapter.
    The monitor appears to work correctly. I've checked with a Windows laptop connected on the VGA port. I want to test with another DVI-enabled machine to see whether or not its the cable.

    Hi Guys
    I have the same problem with my new Dell 2209WAf. It worked fine before i changed from L to SL.
    I didn't know what happened so i have spend hours and hours to resolve the problem.
    Hours with Mac support and friends didn't change anything, i still cant make my Dell to work, or show up in preferences. I am working as a photographer and this issue is a real problem.
    I just heard from Mac Support that Apple is working on it.....well, doesn't help us with the problem today.
    So Apple, DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS! NOW! this problem should NEVER showed up, this is something you should have fixed before telling all the Macers to upgrade!!!

    Experiencing the same issues. However, on bit different hardware.
    I'm using the XLR8 ProView USB input devices. Using these devices on a mixture of 10.5.8 and 10.6.2 systems (2 MacBooks, 2 Mac Mini and 1 iMac).
    I can confirm the following:
    When attempting to mirror video, or extend the desktop, using a mini-DVI to S-Video/Composite device on OSX 10.6.2 no video is sent to the mini-DVI device (inputing into the XLR8).
    When attempting to mirror video, or extend the desktop, using a mini-DVI to S-Video/Composite device on OSX 10.5.8 video is sent to the mini-DVI device (inputing into the XLR8).
    Let me also state, that the mini-DVI port on the Mac Mini's do work. They have been connected to 19" monitors and working without issue. Today, the mini-DVI devices were replaced with minidisplay port devices, which are use in conjunction with the mini-DVI ports.
    It would appear, in my case, that the problem is that the mini-DVI port on both the MacBook and Mac Mini, running 10.6.2, as a secondary display device is not operating properly.

    Same problems here. I reloaded OS 10.4.6 which is what shipped with my MBP1,2 17" 2.16 Intel Core Duo 2GB ram and after installing that, i was able to select 1920x1080 for my external HP w2338h, DVI-VGA, never been able to connect DVI-HDMI. On SL, the max rez I was able to "use" was 1600x1200 which looked horrible. So this leads me to suspect that this must be an issue with SL.
    I spoke with Apple Tech support on Sat and was no help. The only suggestion was that I take my MBP and Monitor to the Apple Store. Those of you who are fortunate enough to live in Chicago in the winter, then you know that option really isn't that feasible, it is but just a giant pain.

    I have an iMac 9,1 Intel Core 2 Duo that I bought last June. It came with Leopard, but I upgraded to Snow Leopard. Currently, it's running 10.6.2. My HP w2207 Widescreen monitor works perfectly with it using the DVI port on the HP and the mini-display (not mini-DVI) port on the iMac.
    However, I just bought the top-of-the-line iMac 11,1 Intel Core i5 QuadCore three days ago and it crashes nearly every time that it wakes from "sleep" when the HP w2207 is connected to it. It doesn't even recognize that the w2207 is connected to it. Additionally, when the w2207 is connected, it (a) looks terrible - very dim and very granular, and (b) causes the iMac QuadCore to operate very sluggishly. When I disconnect the HP w2207, the iMac QuadCore is lightning-fast.
    Much like my older iMac, the QuadCore is running 10.6.2 and I'm using the mini-display port.

    Another me too post. I have a new 17" MacBook Pro with 10.6.2 installed. Trying to connect to an HPL2245wg - sometimes it works flawlessly - other times not at all. Some mornings I spend 30 -40 minutes rebooting, unplugging and plugging the monitor, Detecting Displays, changing the Graphics Card (Energy settings) - all to no avail. Very, very frustrating Apple - please figure out what is going on with this issue....and get it fixed!

    I seem to have found a fix for myself. I was having terrible issues with the screen blinking and flickering constantly. I tried to reset the SMC with everything unplugged and the computer would not reboot at that point on it's own which led me eventually to reinstalling SL.
    Reinstalling SL is quite painless actually as it installs on top of your profile. After reinstalling I ran software update which installs the cumulative upgrades. Now I usually don't have any problems but must follow the instructions to run in clamshell mode to the letter.
    After a week of running in clamshell mode I started having an issue with the dock not lining up so I put the computer to sleep, disconnected the monitor and restarted with nothing connected. After that, followed the clamshell mode instructions again and have been working fine again all week.
    I've also disabled my screen-saver, and deleted the windowserver preferences as part of my debug process but not sure if that has contributed to my new found stability.

    Me too. I have a MacBook Pro 2,2 running the latest Snow Leopard 10.6.2. After I have installed yesterday's security patch it does not recognize external displays on the DVI port any longer. Tried it with a 23" DELL at the office and a 23" Samsung at home. Both have worked without any problems for years.
    I am curious to learn how this behavior is related to security...

  • Apple monitor not recognizing keyboard

    My 7 day old Apple 23" monitor is not recognizing my 7 day old Apple keyboard (hardwired, not wireless). I am using a MacBook Air. All was fine until last night.
    Suggestions?
    Thanks!
    Elizabeth

    Some similar things but not many. I have not changed anything in the computer. Update , I did borrow a VGA to VGA cable was able to get this to work. But for the life of me I cannot get a signal from  the Displayport. Also I tried a Displayport  to DVI-D cable with no results. I would like to use a digital signal rather than an analog. Maybe I will try to update my Bios.
    Thanks for your reply. Anybody else had this problem?

  • DVI to VGA adapter, monitor says "input not supported"

    I have just received my MBP yesterday and, when I attempted to attach it via DVI to VGA adapter to my Acer AL2016W flat panel LCD, the monitor told me "input not supported". I was under the impression VGA is VGA is VGA. Perhaps I am mistaken. There is no DVI port on this monitor so I am, essentially, screwed ATM unless I purchase yet another monitor - this one is less than a year old. I require my MBP to be attached to an external monitor due to a disability, and am not sure what to do. I don't believe it to be an isolated issue, especially after viewing some of the other posts about the graphics card being an issue as well. I wish Apple would come forward with a resolution. I realize this issue has probably been posted somewhere already, however I am unable to sift through all the posts due to the aforementioned disability and inability to attach to external monitor. I just can't sit here for that long, so I offer my apologies.

    First off, are you connecting in the proper sequence? That is:
    1. MBP and monitor powered on
    2. connect monitor's VGA cable to the DVI-to-VGA adapter
    3. connect DVI-to-VGA adapter to the MBP's DVI port
    In that way, the MBP should autodetect the monitor and set the resolution appropriately. Else, the output resolution of the MBP may not suit the monitor, and the monitor will give a "not supported" error.
    As a side note, have you considered the options in System Preferences > Universal Access? Options include Zoom, VoiceOver (spoken screen selections), making the cursor larger, and other enhancements for the visually impaired.
    Hope this helps...

  • External monitor not recognized (X200)

    Hi,
    I have an X200 with Vista
    When I connect an external monitor (or projector) it is not recognized.  Shift-F7 results in a message that no external monitor is detected.  However, if I leave the monitor connected, put the system in standby and then resume, it recognizes the external display.
    Any thoughts to how I can get it to recognize without this work-around? Thanks

    I had the same problem.  I think it's a vista device driver issue.  Try this-
    Power down your laptop.  Plug in the external monitor.  Boot the computer - it should default to the external monitor, and Windows should recognize it.  Then, shut down normally. 
    Pull the monitor cable, boot your laptop regularly, reattach the cable, and give it a try.
    It worked for me.

  • External LG monitor not recognized by MBP

    I've been using an LG Flatron L22WTG external monitor with my MBP (purchased 2011) running 10.7.2. The monitor worked fine until recently and now is not recognized by the MBP and goes into "power saving mode". There is no response when I press "recognize monitors". Tried the settings for power saving and monitors. This issue is recent, but I don't know if it occured with my recent installation of the last Lion patch.

    Me too, but my LG monitor just stopped working after I installed the recent "Thunderbolt Firmware Update".
    Literally the monitor was working yesterday. This morning I installed the update and now it's broken. Great update.
    Anyone have a fix?

  • Macbook not recognizing USB ports from external monitor.

    I have a Dell Monitor hooked up to the VGA port and have several items (printer, external hard drive) hooked into the ports on the Dell monitor. My Macbook is not recognizing the things that are plugged into the monitor.
    These ports were working at one point but when I moved my setup and had to plug everything back in I can't get the USB ports on the monitor to work.
    Along the same lines...I tried connecting the monitor to my laptop with a USB cable (female port from back of monitor to male port on Macbook) along with the VGA port. This did not fix the problem but I just wanted to know (had my laptop been recognizing the ports) if this was even necessary.
    Since this setup has worked before I'm thinking it is something small that I am missing but any help would be appreciated.

  • IPod Shuffle Not Recognized In Windows Or iTunes v7.0 - What Now?

    Hello everyone,
    I am having the same problem as many who have posted here. I have upgraded my software to iTunes v7.0.1.8. I also accepted the auto update for my iPod Shuffle - 512GB 1st Gen to v 1.44 (I believe). Of course, now my Shuffle is not recognized in iTunes and is only recognized in Windows for less than 5 seconds (as I have monitored it). I am listing below all of the actions I have taken today.
    As none of these have worked, my question is now what? Does anyone have any other suggestions before I take the dreaded step of calling support? Any help is appreciated.
    I am not happy with this upgrade issue at all. I expect much better from Apple.
    Steps Already Taken:
    1. Reset iPod.
    2. Set Terminal Services to "Manual" and restarted my laptop PC.
    3. Changed all USB Root Hub entries power management options to "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power option" and rebooted.
    4. Assigned my external hard drive a different letter as it was assigned to "E" and tech support documentation suggested I changed it - I changed it to "M".
    5. I stopped the iPod Service via the Services and Application interface from My Computer/Manage, reattached the Shuffle, and started the iPod Service. The Shuffle was still not recognized.
    6. I uninstalled iTunes 7.0.1.8, the Apple Software update and QuickTime. I deleted all temp directories; program files folders and all possible traces of all three pieces of this software. I also deleted my iTunes library. I reinstalled all of this software and re-built my Library. NONE OF THIS WORKED!
    My 30GB Video iPod works fine and always has - it is only the shuffle for which I have this issue any only since the upgrade.
    What do I do now? If no one has another fix, I will be forced to call Tech Support after an experience with them over a year ago I would almost rather throw this thing away!

    qswh - I too cannot play the songs that are loaded on the shuffle. Additionally, I get a green & orange light when I plug it into a USB port and then I either get a blinking orange light or a solid orange light from there after.
