External Display Troubles

This is a somewhat different problem from the previously discussed thread regarding the upgrade to 10.5.2.
I've been using my MPB 15" with a Dell 2007WFP 20" monitor for about two months now, via the DVI cable. I've been using it on extended desktop mode, with spaces set to a 2x2 configuration. This has worked well for me for, as I said, 2 months. Until yesterday.
I turned on the MBP, and instead of getting the expected login screen on the MBP display with the Leopard background displayed (minus the login window) on the external monitor, I get the expected on the MBP display, but a jumbled image on the Dell.
This is odd, so I restart only to find the same result. Now, fearing for my two month old Dell monitor, I connected it via VGA (using the adapter), and receive nothing but a blank screen. I also tested this on an Acer LCD monitor connected via VGA, with the same result. So, I know its not my screen, as it works fine with another computer.
I've called Apple Support, who weren't very useful. They encouraged me to insert the install disk and run a hardware test, which I did. With the monitor disconnected, I received no error codes. With the monitor connected, I received error code:
4sns/40000000:tgod
So, I have no idea what that means.
Any help? Also, any idea if a reinstall of Leopard would work?
Thanks for any help.

I think I'm having the same problem as you. My external display which is hooked up through VGA via the dongle my MacBook Pro came with. Ever since that **** graphics card update it seems my HP w2207h will not work in OS X. I have windows installed on my machine and it works just fine in windows. That is probably the thing that ****** me off the most about this. In OS X the external monitor recieves NO signal from my MBP but I have 2 displays in the preferences and can rearrange them as if they both worked. *** APPLE! This is pretty ridiculous problem to have and a patch needs to be put out pronto. If not luckly I have a Time Machine backup of before this **** graphic card update. After a couple more days I'm restoring it and not installing the graphics update.

  • 10.5.2 External Display trouble

    I installed 10.5.2 yesterday, with my external Display (Eizo S2431W) plugged in.
    After the update had finished, the external Display had only a resolution of 1440x900 (like the mbp display).
    Then i installed the graphics-update.. no change.
    Since the updates i have the following issue:
    I start my Macbook Pro with the external display plugged in and the maximum resolution is 1440x900 (instead of 1920x1200) and it does not get the proper names, just "Main-Display" instead of "S2431W".
    When i plug it out, the mainscreen does not come back to the mbp. It stays as second display without menubar and dock.
    I have to restart the mbp without the external display. When i then plug it in, everything works just fine.
    ..any ideas about this issue?

    Similar problems today. Yesterday evening I used Software Update to go to 10.5.2 from 10.5.1. After completing the update, Software Update launched and told me that Leopard Graphics Update should be applied and that it required 10.5.2.I also applied this update. During both updates I had an external Samsung LCD connected via the DVI -> VGA adapter that came with the MacBook Pro. There were no issues with the automatic restarts and viewing on the external display at the max resolution.
    Today I connected the MacBook Pro to my Apple Cinema Display at work, per usual. Pressed the power button and closed the lid. The desktop background appeared on the ACD and then went blank. Typically I press a key on my external keyboard and the ACD comes on with the full desktop at max resolution. Now, the ACD comes on briefly with the desktop background only and then the MacBook Pro goes to sleep. Pressing a key on the external keyboard revives the ACD briefly followed by the same sleep behavior. Upon opening the lid on the MacBook Pro the screen is black and the keyboard is unresponsive. A forced restart is needed.
    I have tried connecting the display after fully starting the laptop and the same behavior results. I have also repaired permissions and reset the PMU. Neither had any effect on the behavior.
    So far, I can't use the ACD with the MacBook Pro with 10.5.2.

  • Trouble using external display

    I am trying to use my TV as an external display using a mini-dvi to dvi cable. My desktop picture shows up on my TV but nothing else. No Quicktime or Safari windows. The only thing window that show up on the TV is the Display window from system preferences. I just want to watch some hulu on the big screen. Can anyone help. Thanks.

    Never mind, I think I figured it out. Thanks anyway

  • Connecting to an external display using the setting optimised for built in screen?

    i am having trouble connecting to an external display with the lid closed and the settings is optimised for built in display.
    it was working nicely until yesterday when i changed the resolution.
    and now i cant take it to optimised for built in display, only if the lid is opened and i want it closed.
    can i know how to return it to the setting (optimised for built in display) with the lid closed?

  • MBPro won't detect external display on DVI

    Hi Folks,
    I have a strange problem that gives me quite some headache:
    Is use a MacBook Pro 3,1 2.2 Ghz, 4GB RAM, 128MB NVidia something together with a Samsung SyncMaster 215TW.
    For the past year I was using my external screen without any trouble, connecting it via DVI to the mac. Every night I turn down the lid putting the notebook in sleep mode and switch off the monitor. Exactly as I did yesterday. But this morning however the external display didn't wake up as usual it did just nothing - was not even detected via the detect display function. And this is still the case right now.
    So when I plug (or unplug) the DVI to the external something is still going on. I get the blue screen (don't get that wrong that used to appear just before it would expand the desktop to the external screen, but then it switches back as if there would be nothing connected.
    No relevant entries in any logfile. System Profiler shows "Status: No display connected". The display itself says some no connection message if unplugged and - get this - falls to sleep mode right after I plugin the dvi connector to the mac.
    I tried all this:
    -reboot (with display connected & without display connected and all other imaginable combinations) - no positive result
    -the display via DVI-VGA adapter works (but the image is not as nice unfortunately)
    -reset PRAM (boot with optioncommand+PR)
    -reset the entire thing (no power, no battery and hold the powerkey for 10 secs.) nothing
    -connect some other external display to the mac via DVI - works perfectly
    -connect the display via DVI to an other macbook pro computer - works perfectly too
    -hard reset the display via the (red) support menu - no result
    -an other DVI cable - no result
    -booted from the leopard install cd - same thing
    -booted from an other harddisk with 10.4.10 (removing the internal disk)- same strange behaviour with the old system
    -booted ubuntu linux 8.04 - even here the same problem X doesn't recognize the external display if it is attached to the DVI port also no entries to the logs here.
    -SwitchResX and tried to reset the display setting from there (vendor id 4c2d & product id 213 & 214) but still no success.
    - called the apple support and my distributer of trust - no ideas but could be a hardware fault (mmh ok... but why do all other display I tried work perfectly with that beast of macbook pro but not any SyncMaster 215TW?!? that worked great for the whole last year)
    I guess the macbook had a very bad dream that very last night about mac eating foo-bars that crawl through DVI cables from any 215TW display.
    As for now I have a date with the local apple service partner -- in three weeks (it's holiday time in g.o. germany). Don't know what to tell him: Probably I'll need to go there with the screen to show them the entire scenario. Hopefully they (still) think it's a problem with faulty apple hardware (or system software) and replace the logic board.
    But I'm still in hope! Is there anybody out there having an idea with what I could try next to bring back the love between my macbook and the lovely 215TW display?
    greetings,
    brutus banane

    I have recently bough a new Macbook Pro 15.4", it worked first time with a Samsung Syncmaster 2493HM but after a few days the 'detect display' utility ceased to connect, then a short while after on start up I was getting a blank screen with a flashing folder with '?' on it, preventing me from booting up successfully.
    I tried the reset p-ram, didn't work then I tried an archive install of OSX and that ironed out all the creases - for a day, there has been no flashing folders on start up but the Samsung has failed to be detected and this morning wouldn't work no matter how many restarts or cable disconnecting attempts.
    So I called Apple helpline, told the guy what had happened, he mentioned to try the install discs again with the display connected to see of the MBP sent a signal to it, after choosing the language in the OSX installer, the display was once again recognized! I didn't have to proceed any further with the install discs so quit, reset and ejected the install discs and all seems well again.
    For how long i wonder?
    I have no idea of this will work for anyone else but it works for me at the moment.
    Interested to see when and how this finally gets solved!

  • Incorrect resolutions for 16:10 external displays, unable to detect 16:9

    Hey there all, this is my first post here. It looks like some people have had similar issues—particularly with an incomplete/incorrect list of resolutions being provided for external displays.
    I am shopping around for an external display for my MacBook (my specs are included) and I tested a few different ones today, but encountered problems.
    - On a 22" ASUS monitor (sorry I don't have the model) using Mini-DVI to VGA, the native resolution (I assume 1680x1050) is not available, and most resolutions offered are 4:3 ratio (1600x1200 worked). The highest widescreen resolution listed was 1280x768.
    - Next I tried a 19" ASUS, this time 16:9, but the monitor would not display at all. The MacBook display would go blue as normal but then flicker, as if it could not detect the display. This also happened with a 24" BENQ monitor (also 16:9).
    Wondering whether or not this was a problem with using VGA, I then bought a Mini-DVI to DVI adapter and tried again on the 19" and 24" (the 22" ASUS did not have a DVI-in) but the same flickering blue screen appeared, with nothing displayed on the monitor.
    These were my thoughts:
    1. My firmware is not up-to-date. I check in System Profiler and am running Boot ROM Version MB41.00C1.B00 and SMC Version (system): 1.31f0. These are definitely up-to-date for my model MacBook.
    2. Drivers are out of date. This does not seem likely as I am running OS X 10.5.7.
    Other than that, I am at a loss! I haven't yet forked out the $49 to do phone support with Apple, that will be my next bet.
    Has anyone had this problem, or have any ideas what I can try? Short of buying a new Unibody MacBook of course .
    Thanks guys, hope you can help. Just let me know if you need more info about my computer.

    It's unusual to strike out like that with three different monitors using two different adapters. On the other hand, with all the video issues that have been reported by others on these forums since the 10.5.7 update, it's not too surprising.
    Is a 10.5.6 downgrade a possibility for you? For example, do you use Time Machine and can you in that case revert to a previous time when the MB was running 10.5.6? Perhaps that's not a great suggestion, but it would be something to try.
    There is some remote chance, though somewhat unlikely given that three different monitors are involved, that the embedded display driver data (EDID) in each monitor is bad or incomplete. If you care to investigate that possibility, there is a program called SwitchRes X that allows you to snoop a monitor's EDID and turns it into a human readable text file.
    One final suggestion would be to try yet one more monitor to see if any monitor can return a good result. One obvious choice would be an Apple monitor. If there is trouble when trying to connect to an Apple monitor, then that would certainly point to some problem in the MB's configuration or hardware. And not to cast aspersions on the brands you have already tried, but try another brand (if not Apple) that is perhaps more mainstream and known to be more Mac compatible and less firmly in the PC camp where plug-and-display drivers have never mattered very much and are very often botched by the monitor makers. Dell, Samsung and LG are three big brands that come to mind. Good luck.

  • Macbook pro 17 external display.Amazing machine had it for 2 days n Love it

    hay a quick question
    ive got a new unibody macbook pro 17 (its amazing i love this beast) and a Samsung external display which is a 24inch and im having trouble sorting out the size and resolution with the computer and the display as the laptop thinks the external display is smaller than the laptops display and thus means that the resolution on the display is higher which is just annoying.
    Any ideas on know how to change this so its either the same as the laptop or fits better and is the correct size?
    if its any help im connected via the mini display port to dvi and the input to the tv is dvi-d and it also has HDMI input if it helps

    Is the monitor a monitor, or an HDTV?
    If it's an HDTV with a DVI input on it, them I'm willing to bet it's only a 720, since most HDTV's don't jump to 1080 until you get above 32".
    I've got a 24" Optiquest monitor on my work PC and it runs at 1900x1200, but it's a true computer monitor.
    I've hooked a laptop up to my 52" Samsung HDTV, and it would only do 1900x1200 (which could be a limitation of the video card).

  • I have an apple macbook pro late 2013 15" retina display crashing on me when i am connected to an external display?

    I got the following message after the crash, it happens a few times a day, my system is the base with 16gb ram late 2013 15" macbook pro retina.  it only happens when i am connected to an external display, I do have a converter from vga to displayport.  also, i run 4 different browsers in incognito mode as i do web testing and also have about 30 tabs open and excel and a few other apps open, not sure if this is what makes it happen or if it is the external display?  it is under warranty, so if you see anything below that may relate to the hardware i can bring it in and get it fixed.

  • External Display for Macbook Pro

    Hello everyone. I have a 17" 2.33GHz Macbook Pro and I am having trouble finding a good external display. I have already tried a Dell S2009W and a Dell S2209W. On both these monitors the graphics were great but the text was a bit blurry. I want to be able to operate the external as the sole display and not use the macbook display. I am looking for a 22" or 24" display. I will not be watching movies or photo editing, but text clarity is a must since I will be doing a fair bit of word processing and reading.
    Can anyone explain to me why the Dell monitors had blurry text and which manufacturers I should be looking at (Gateway, Samsung, Viewsonic)?
    Thanks in advance.

    I use a 22" Samsung and its working very nicely and the mirroring works perfectly, i highly suggest it

  • No signal to external display

    I'm having trouble with connecting my Macbook Pro to my Samsung TV (via HDMI) to use as an external display.  When I plug the HDMI cable into my laptop the screen flashes like it detects another display but then nothing changes and the TV still reads no signal.  I've connected the laptop to a different TV and it worked just fine.  I tried connecting a different laptop to the TV and that one didn't work either.  I've also connected an AppleTV to my Samsung (the one I'm having issues with) using the HDMI cable that I'm trying to connect the laptop with and that worked as well.  I've tried both the STB and DVI HDMI ports on the TV and neither of them work.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    For more information:
    It's a late 2013 Retina 13" Macbook Pro running OS X 10.9.4.
    The TV is a Samsung UN29F4000.

  • Display issue coming out of sleep (w/ external display)

    Hey everyone,
    I've a MacBook Pro with Retina display. running 10.8.2 (and Win7 x64, via Bootcamp).
    I somtimes experience trouble coming out of sleep with no external display connected, if the MacBook was connected to an external display when I sent it to sleep and the integrated display's brightness was turned all the way down. Basically, the MacBook's integrated display won't light up. I then need to hold down the power button until the machine powers off, and start it up again. Only then will the display come on, and the machine start normally.
    I've been observing this with both an external Thunderbolt Display, and a TV connected through the HDMI port. I don't think this is a Mac OS issue, as I've seen similar behavior on this same machine, running Windows, under Bootcamp.
    An example scenario: I'll be using the Thunderbolt Display, or watching a movie on my TV, with the integrated display's brightness turned all the way down, and then, while the display is still connected, I will close the lid - The machine will go to sleep. I will then come the next day, and while the computer is asleep, disconnect the external display, and open the lid. The MacBook's integrated display will not light up, the brightness keys will not respond, and I will need to force-shutdown the machine, and start it again - it will then start up, and usually fall back to the lowest display resolution setting (even though I always use much higher resolutions on both the integrated and external displays).
    I'm guessing this is happening because the computer is expecting the external display that was connected to it, during its last operation, to still be available, and when it's not - it panics!
    Also, I had times where this happened, and a force-shutdown would not do the trick. I had to actually connect back to the external display, wait for the machine to start normally, take the integrated display's brightness back up, and disconnect the external display. The machine would then resume normal operation, and I would be able to disconnect the external display and work on the integrated display.
    Has anyone else experienced this, or anything similar?

    There we go. Here's the complete Console report, up until the reboot, which fixed things. I can't make anything out of this, but perhaps someone else can.

  • Satellite A300-202 - External display turned a strange color

    Hi,
    I have a Satellite A300-202 with a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650, and after upgrade from vista to windows 7, my external display turned a strange color, seemed to lose the red color. Never show the white color, in which should show the white color shows the color blue.
    I have uninstalled and installed again the graphic card drivers and update the new drivers but dont solved this trouble. My external monitor it's ok because I have tried with other laptop and don't have this trouble. I have also tried my laptop with other monitor and have the same trouble.
    Anybody ever had this problem, someone who can help me?
    Thanks,

    Hi Xardas,
    Yes I have problems only with the external monitor.
    I tried both. Now I have the new beta version to the windows 7 64bits, downloaded from the amd/ati site, but I have tried also with the version available in the toshiba drivers page to my A300-202, and had the same problem.
    Yes I have installed the new version of the BIOS too.
    Thanks,

  • IMac cannot handle Mavericks and external display?

    I am a long-time apple-user and long-time user of this wonderful forum. This is, however, the first time I have needed to ask a question of my own having been unable to find an answer on here or elsewhere. In fact, I haven't read of anyone experiencing the issues that I am.
    I recently purchased a second hand Apple iMac "Core 2 Duo" 2.0 20-Inch (Al) to replace my old white one. I understand that this is the oldest iMac to be able to handle Mavericks, but I have upgraded the RAM to 4GB just to be safe. I also bought myself a lovely HP W2207H Monitor that is HDMI input and, when on Snow Leopard before my upgrade yesterday, was a beautiful extended desktop with no issues whatsoever.
    Since upgrading to Mavericks, the monitor has not been working properly; but it's not any of the other, well-documented issues that I have read already. The monitor doesn't flicker, it is recognized beautifully and the resolution is spot on the native...
    Right now, for instance, the monitor is working fine. However, if I was to open a new Firefox tab, or open a new application on my iMac, the monitor would go black (not to sleep or shutting down as the light remains on) for two seconds or so. It seems as if the iMac is struggling with doing something and therefore cuts the monitor feed whilst it's doing the process I have just requested. Furthermore, the iMac's fans are running quite hard despite activity monitor showing the decreased usage as Mavericks promised!
    For your information: Apple iMac "Core 2 Duo" 2.0GHz 20-Inch (Al) 4GB RAM connected to HP W2207H by Mini-SP to HDMI adaptor and HDMI Cable.
    I wonder if anyone could help me solve this problem on Mavericks, or will I simply need to regrade down to Snow Leopard for optimal performance of the external display?
    Many thanks in advance,
    Mike

  • Softproof in Lightroom and Photoshop on external display not matching

    Hi,
    When I soft proof an image in Lightroom (5) and in Photoshop (CS6) on my external display there is a noticeable difference between the two proofs.
    This is the case both with "simulate paper & ink" on and off (with matching settings in both applications) and with a variety of different profiles being used. On my laptop screen the proofs always match (between Photoshop and Lightroom).
    On the external display with soft proofing off there is an exact match between images in LR and PS. With soft proofing on saturated areas of images (particularly reds, greens and yellows) become noticeably less saturated and blocked up in LR as compared to PS. Subdued colours appear to match. It's almost like they are both using the same profile but Lightroom is squashing it into a smaller gamut. I'm fairly sure PS is correct and LR is the one with something going wrong.
    I'd like to sort it as I'd prefer to soft proof in Lightroom as that's where I print from. I've read up a lot on colour management and can't find a solution.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    Tom
    (I'm on a Macbook pro running 10.8.4 and the external display is an NEC Spectraview 271 (euro version of PA271W), the display is calibrated and profiled with Spectraview 5, with an i1 Display Pro. Working space in PS is Prophoto RGB and it's set to preserve embedded profiles. I've checked with various test images but mostly been using Bill Atkinon's printer test image. I set up the image in LR and PS to match on screen position and with the same colour (white) background, I can then flick back and forth and there should be no change but there is and it's very obvious.)

    I'm having trouble with Lightroom 5 soft proofing with reds too.  To rid my propossed print of a gamut warning I must totally desaturate or change my paper profile to glossy (or both).  This is odd because my monitor is calibrated, I'm using the correct paper profiles etc and when I ignore the gamut warning my prints are looking good. This isn't helpful to you but at least your not alone....
