External display won't work on Window
Hi can anyone please help me in this? when I using window XP, my external display won't display out but when I'm using MAC OS X it work well, why? please help... Thanks
I can only help if you are using an NVidia graphics card, as with that you can use the NVidia Control Panel to setup the external display.
Connect the display
Start NVidia Control panel
Select the Display icon
Then select Change Display Configuration
There you can set the resolution, extend the screen or create a copy et.c.
Hope that helps...

Hello guys, after searching a lot in the forum for an answer to this, I could not find a solution so this is the reason for this post.
I have a Macbook Pro (early 2011 I think) running MacOSX Lion and I have installed Windows 7 64-bit through bootcamp (version 4.0).
Everything works fine except that I cannot connect my external display through my thunderbolt-vga adapter.
The external monitor shows only the boot screen of windows (the one with the windows logo) and then, when I get into the login page it goes blank.
After reading the forum, I have done several things in order to fix this problem such as:
Restarting the macbook with the thunderbolt device connected to it.
Updated to the latest ATI drivers through bootcamp.
Removed the graphics driver and re-install it again.
I have tried to identify the external monitor through windows 'screen resolution' tool (attached photo).
but still no luck.
Does anyone have any idea on what else I could do in order to fix this? By the way, I find it very frustrating that Apple does not have a stable solution to the problem with devices that are connected to the thunderbolt port.
Thank you in advanceand here is the attached screenshot

External display won't work over DVI
I've got an ViewSonic vx2025wm hooked up to my MacBook Pro. It used to work fine over DVI, but some time ago the monitor stopped being able to detect the signal and I had to switch over to VGA (via my Apple DVI-to-VGA adapter). That works fine at the full resolution of the external display, but the image quality leaves something to be desired.
Strangely, the external display works just fine in Windows XP via Boot Camp. Oh, the irony!
Any ideas on how to get this working again? I dread the OS X re-install.Same problem here. Had a Dell 30" monitor plugged in for a long time. Suddenly stopped working yesterday. The symptoms: the Mac detects the external display and "thinks" it's got it there (I can tell because the active content of the window is gone on the laptop's screen), but the display does not successfully see the output from the Mac (it shines its orange "no signal" light).
Restarting does not seem to help.
I should test it with a new display cable, but am a little reluctant to do this, as the dual link DVI cables required for this monitor are so expensive, and because previous posters on this topic have tried swapping cables with no result. -
External Display won't work in clamshell mode

HP Pavilion G6 1006sh external display doesn't work with Windows 8.1
Hi All,
After performing a clean install of Windows 8.1 Professional on my Pavilion G6 1006sh I can not use my external Samsung monitor connected on HDMI port.
The windows install went smoothly without any issues the OS had builtin drives for all of the devices. So there is no unknown hardware in device manager there is sound, wifi, LAN, etc. As for video card I can see two different devices. There is a Generic Windows VGA and there is an AMD Radeon HD 7400M installed. The AMD Catalyst software was installed successfully. In windows graphic properties I can choose from two different video outputs, one is the General Windows VGA the other one is the Radeon. However windows detects monitor connected only on General VGA (which is the inbuilt notebook display) and nothing on Radeon so I can not use my external monitor.
Of course I tried to restart laptop / monitor many times, unplug / plug HDMI cable but no success. When I plug HDMI cable into laptop the monitor displays a message that it is connected but there is no incoming signal. The HDMI port both on monitor and laptop is working I used the same configuration with Windows 7 x64 Professional without any issues. It is only the operating system that changed.
I tried to remove the General VGA device in order to force using Radeon but after restarting there was nothing displayed on the screen, I couldn't see anything neither on inbuilt nor on external monitor so I had to restore a previously saved system configuration.
I tired to install the latest graphic driver to Radeon downloaded from AMD site but Windows crashed and restarted during the install process.
Please help me with this issue or make a statement that this version of Windows is not supported on this machine so I have to revert the previous system.
Configuration:
modell: HP Pavilion G6 1006 SH
RAM: 2x4 GB
OS: Windows 8.1 Professional x64 (HUN)
OS drivers: installed and updated automatically by windows
Antivirus: Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1
Thanks,
Zoltan
This question was solved.
View Solution.Hi there @nzole
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
I understand that you installed Windows 8.1 onto your system, but now you cannot detect an external monitor with HDMI. I am happy to help you with this.
First, in answer to your question, this model is not supported for windows 8.1. It was only sold in versions that were configured for Windows 7. That would mean there are no drivers specifically customized by HP for this model for Windows 8.1. It is possible you could find an appropriate drive from a model that does support Windows 8.1 that may be close enough in terms of hardware, that its driver could work, but there is no guarantee.
Here is the support page for your model: HP Pavilion g6-1006sh Notebook PC
HP Products - What If I Don't See My Operating System?
Do you still have the Recovery partitions, or did you make a set of recovery disks, prior to installing Windows 8.1?

External Display won't work with boot camp updates?
I'm using Boot Camp 4.0 with the latest updates - on Windows 7 x64.
I've been using my Thunderbolt to DVI adapter for months now on the same monitor (la2206x) and suddenly it doesn't work - forcing the resolution to 640x480, which, really is a lie because the monitor isn't picking up a signal.
Tried this with 2 other monitors as well with no luck. I depend on the second monitor for testing and design/development, so this has become high priority issue.
And no downloading HP drivers does not work - thet PC doesn't even recognize them and reverts back to "Generic Non-PNP Monitor"
Anyone else experiencing this issue?
Kind Regards,
JI'd just like to add that this no longer works with OS X Lion 10.3.8 either... Get your **** together Apple. It's called MacBook "Pro" for a reason.

I have a BlackBerry Curve 8310 and the external speaker won't work. I don't get any notification of calls, texts, etc. I had a new external speaker put in but that didn't fix the problem. Anybody have any ideas of what else could be wrong? My phone is no longer under warranty, so AT&T will not replace my phone.
The same thing happened to me. Go to Applications and then the Utilities Folder and then open the Audio Midi Setup app. Make sure the default output and system output are set to the built in output. The same symptoms happened to me when I ad reset those options to an aggregate device I created for some simple music production. Setting the above setting back to the defaults made everything better.

Help please. Extended display won't work on MBP and AOC 20" 1600 x 900 60HZ monitor. Mirror display does. I've a mini dvd to vga converter cable. Should this work?
I have the same mini display port adapter and Belkin DVI-HDMI cable (but a Panasonic 42" Plasma HDTV) so just set this up on it to see if I could duplicate your problem, unfortunately for you (but good for me) I can't.
I connected the adapter+HDMI cable before switching the HDTV on and then powered up the MBP. It (the HDTV) came up with my background right away (it's set at Mirror not extended Desktop) and when I run System Preferences/Displays get the following. Sorry but all I can confirm is that adapter+cable combination should work ...

External microphone won't work on Macbook Pro
My external microphone won't work on my Macbook Pro.
My mic is an SE2200 A, and I'm pluggin that into a Behringer Eurorack UB802 (with Phantom power). This is then connected to a 1/4 inch to 3.5mm adapter so I can plug it into my Macbook Pro.
If I plug this directly into my Macbook Pro into the headphone socket (which I've been told doubles up as a mic socket), and go to Settings -> Sound -> Input, the mic does not appear on screen at all.
If I plug it into a 3.5mm to USB adapter, and plug it into a USB port on my mac, then the USB PnP Sound Device appears on the Settings -> Sound -> Input, but no sound is picked up.
Could any suggest why this isn't working?
thanksYou have to use a cable that will break out the 3.5 mm TRRS jack into mic, L, and R.
I haven't found the right wiring yet and the cables I have tried don't seem to work.

External keypad won't work after installing OS 7.
External keypad won't work after installing OS 7. I have a "Zagg" keyboard that won't pair now to OS 7,...Why?
They do work. I have one and mine is working. Have you tried to reset your iPad? HOlding down teh sleep and home keys until it reboots then try pairing again.
A slightly more drastic thing is to go into the settings and reset all settings. THe downside, you will need to retweak your device but it can help fix keyboard glitches. -
Magic Mouse won't work in Windows 7 anymore
Hey there,
I've got an iMac running OS X 10.6.8 and Windows 7 via Boot Camp. I just updated a bunch of the Apple stuff on Windows -- iTunes, Quicktime, "boot camp" (I assume that meant drivers and such), and whatnot. Now my Magic Mouse won't work in Windows 7. It was fine before, so I assume the update screwed something up. Help? I know nothing of retrieving old drivers and stuff like that.
Note: I am running Snow Leopard, NOT Lion.Hi bsruff,

Second display won't work on mac partition but works on windows
Hey I have a 21.5" imac from mid 2011 and have recently update to OS X Mavericks.
I bought a mini dp to hdmi to connect a second monitor up to my imac a month or so ago. At the time I was running 10.6.8 and thought that may be why it wasn't picking up the second display.
All the while the second monitor has been working fine on my windows 7 partition.
Hoping anyone can shed some light on this.

External Display Won't Recognize in Native Resolution
I have a 40" Sony Bravia 1080p TV. I'm currently hooking it up using mini display adapter to vga, then vga into the PC port in the TV.
Display preferences recognizes the TV as a VGA display. which is fine, however it won't display in the 1920 x 1080 60HZ setting.
Sometimes display preferences recognizes the external display (TV) as a SONY TV. When this happens, it allows me to select a 1080p setting, which works great.
Does anyone know why my mac recognizes the external display as VGA display one time, then a SONY TV the next?
is there any way to manually set what type of external display is hooked up?
It's not a huge issue, but it's frustrating, and i don't understand it.
Any help is appreciated!Probably the TV needs to be turned on before the Mac. And when the Sony is switched away from the TV to another input and then switched back to VGA, that's probably when the Mac loses connection to the TV's identity.
You could try the Detect Displays command when that happens, or else try unplugging and replugging the the VGA connector. That's a pain but it might work.
If you want a real permanent solution, something like the Gefen DVI Detective will work. It was designed to fix problems like this.
