June 2012 Macbook Pro not compatible with external display?

I have been using an Acer X203H monitor with my old macbook pro (15" model) with the apple dvi-vga cable with no issues. But I have recently purchased the above mentioned macbook pro so I also bought a thunderbolt-dvi cable in order to use my external monitor. Basically, the monitor just keeps telling me that there is 'No Signal' and shuts down. Why is that? Is it a compatibility issue between my monitor and my new macbook pro? Or is it because (as I have just realized) I am doing a very roundabout way of connecting my computer to my monitor (thunderbolt-dvi-vga)? If I get a thunderbolt to vga cable will the monitor work properly?
Any insight at all would be much appreciated. Thank you!

btw, the old macbook pro is from 2008 and is pre-unibody

If you mean you are looking for some simple setting for sharing your built-in iSight, the question has been asked before. However, you are correct that it is not a common one. Neither does it have a simple answer.
There is so such preference. You can verify this for yourself by checking
your Macs'  > System Preferences... > Sharing.
However, there are other, more complex techniques you may want to consider.

I can suggest two apps that call let you see the view from your MBP's isight cam on your G5's display:
(1) iChat: http://www.apple.com/macosx/what-is-macosx/ichat.html
You can use a local network Bonjour connection between your Macs: http://www.apple.com/support/bonjour/
Your 10.6.4 MBP is iChat video-ready. If your local network and G5 also meet the iChat requirements for Tiger or Leopard:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1771 - or -
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2020
you could video chat between your MBP and your G5.
To video with other AIM client users outside your local network, your system and internet connection need to meet those requirements and you need a separate iChat account name for each of your connected Macs. Then, for example, you could have a three-way video with an iChat/AIM friend where two of the three video connections would come from your two Macs.
I do not use Skype, but, as I understand it, Skype does not yet offer more than one-to-one video. If my understanding is correct, Skype could not be substituted for iChat in this use.
(2) *_Apple Remote Desktop_*: http://www.apple.com/remotedesktop/
Provided your G5 meets ARD System Requirements, you could install ARD on your G5, enable remote management in your MPB's System > Sharing preferences, and use your G5's ARD to control any iSight applications running on your MBP.
Has anyone tried this & achieved it if so how did you do it
(a) I often use the iChat method when testing multi-party video connection capabilities with other users. The "how" is exactly as described in (1) above. For more details on how to operate iChat after you have verified your system requirements, open the iChat link (the link is repeated below for clarity:)
http://www.apple.com/macosx/what-is-macosx/ichat.html
Page down to the "iChat Basics window there and click the "Watch now" link there.
For more iChat tips, see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2515
(b) I do not own ARD, so I have not personally tested the method described in (2) above.
(c) Using Leopard and Snow Leopard Screen Sharing via your Bonjour connection might also allow certain limited possibilities, provided that your G5 is running Leopard.
(d) Depending on how willing you are to try third-party alternatives, you might be able to do what you want with a compatible VNC client app such as http://sourceforge.net/projects/cotvnc/
I have never tested this possibility on my system.
Thanx

Can I use separate iSight camera with MacBook Pro?

That's my question. I have an iSight and like the idea that it is moveable and I can show people my apartment! If I buy a new MacBook Pro (which I will) can I choose to use the external iSight? Can I choose either one if the external one is connected? etc..
thanks.

I can confirm that an external camera can be plugged into a MacBook Pro and selected in the Video section of ther iChat Preferences.

Macbook Pro not recognizing Windows 7 RC 32-bit disk

I'm trying to install Windows 7 RC on my Macbook Pro but it's not recognizing the disk. Does anyone know why this is?

ucbound,
I replied in my post to your same question as well.
Are you using Boot Camp Assistant to set-up for a clean install of Windows 7 RC:
Start Boot Camp > Create Windows partition > insert Windows DVD > click 'Continue' after DVD icon shows on desktop?
Or are you receiving the error message after clicking 'Continue' in Boot Camp Assistant?
Others here are more experienced with the MacBook series so hopefully they will chime in at some point if it is an in-depth issue / resolution here.

MacBook Pro not recognizing new printers

My MacBook Pro is not recognizing my new wireless Epson printer. When I click "Add printer," no printers show in the list to add. I have tried connecting it with the ethernet cord as well, but it still doesn't show up. My dad's computer added the printer just fine, which is also a Mac. My computer also isn't recognizing my husband's printer or my dad's printer at his house. When I first bought the computer a few years ago (maybe 2 years??), I connected my current printer just fine and it still works. However, I need a new printer, and now it doesn't seem to recognize any other printer besides the old one I have always had. I have tried updating my computer, but it says that it is up to date. Help!

Lindsay518,
what said that it couldn’t be opened? Is the file completely downloaded? (If so, it should be 1,190,445,549 bytes long; you can Get Info on the file to confirm its length.)
Note that EPSON also has drivers available for your combination of printer and operating system version on their Web site. More importantly, they also have a firmware update available for the WF-2540.

iSight camera failure after OS X 10.9 Mavericks update

Macbook pro not recognizing keyboard

Hi,
I have a late 2006 Macbook Pro15" Core 2 duo 2.2 with the latest 10.7.2 OS.
Recently the mouse pad hasbecome intermittently responsive and the keyboard cuts in and out. Yesterdaythe whole keyboard was not being detected by the computer and it started tolook for a blue tooth device. I restarted a couple times with the same results.I then took it to my local MacMall here in SM where it started workingperfectly. They did some tests and could not find any hardware issues... Gothome and its working intermittently again.
Help!!!! Any ideas whats goingon or suggstions?
Thanks!
Zac

Could be. I also have a 2006 MBP that I've opened several times due to some overheating issues that required my cleaning up the fans and hot air exhaust, so I remember the layout inside the chassis; sure enough, the keyboard is linked to the logic board by a small flat cable that attaches thanks to a flat, square nylon connector. It barely clips on in the best of circumstances, and I remember one time where I had to open the machine again because I couldn't get my keyboard to work at all. Yours seems to work intermittently, so I may be wrong...
In any case, one picture is worth a thousant words, they say: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing-MacBook-Pro-15-Inch-Core-Duo-Model-A1150- Keyboard/484/4

MacBook Pro not recognizing MagicJack Plus

I conncected the MagicJack Plus into my macbook pro and successfully registered my product. I went through all the steps and received my phone number. After that it all went downhill.
I disconnected the magicjack and connected it to my router. That wasn't working so I connected it back to my pro and boom. It didn't recognize it and nothing would pop up like it should. I followed all the steps in removing the software and anything related to MagicJack and it still does not work. My phone number and account are activited. The blue light turns one and everything seems to work fine. I don't know what it is.
Im running OS X Mavericks
Just wondering if anyone has had similar problems and any fixes.
- Thanks

Isight cam in Macbook pro

all of the sudden my isight cam (built in) looks like it has a transparent "carpet" type structure in front of it, and image quality is awful and color rendering is yellow (even in daylight). I've been trying to find a setup utility to see if there's a setup related issue, but have not been able to find anything. Anyone familiar with this?

Hello, Maris.
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
No separate "Setup" is required for your Mac's iSight. All installation and setup was accomplished when your Mac OS X software was installed.
Try Apple's relevant suggestions from How to Troubleshoot iSight.

MacBook Pro not recognizing USBs on Dell monitor

I have a 2013 MacBook Pro running Mavericks 10.9.1. I recently purchased a Dell UltraSharp U2312HM 23" IPS LED LCD Monitor to use for some graphics work. I am using a port to miniport cable to connect and have had no problems setting and calibrating displays to work the way I want. My problem is that I am now using the only 2 USB ports on the laptop for my mouse and keyboard. The monitor has 4 USB ports and when I plug any type of device into them (apple keyboard, flashdrive, mouse wireless antenna, etc.) the computer does not recognize them or even notice them. Can I get the USBs on the monitor to work? If so how? Thank you in advance.

one more point to add...i installed windows using bootcamp, and through windows the 2560X1440 resolution works. so its not a hardware problem either

MacBook Pro not recognizing DVDs

I have a 2 Ghz week 10 MacBook Pro, and it just recently started doing this. The DVD is not bad, i checked both of the DVDs i used on other DVD players. This is what happens:
-i insert the DVD
-it starts spinning and DVD Player launches, but stays in window mode
-the movie DOES NOT play
then if i touch any controls such as play or rewind, it says Supported Disc Not Available. i also have MacTheRipper and that doesnt show the DVD either. as i said before, ive used DVD Player succesfully along with MacTheRipper. Any help would be appreciated.
-UnBiased

I'm also having problems. My MacBook Pro 17 spits out blank Memorex DVD+RW media after spinning around for about 45 seconds. The Media says it's OK at 4x, and the drive is also spec'd at 4x?! My buddy's HP PC burns these DVDs just fine. Apple has (supposedly) replaced the drive it still does the same thing.
Any ideas/thoughts out there? Thanx.

Why is my Macbook Pro not recognizing my contacts in Messages?

I downloaded OS X Yosemite on my Macbook Pro HD yesterday and everything seemed to integrate perfectly well except for the Messages app. I thought it may have been an error because my iPhone 5's OS was outdated, so I installed iOS 8.1 on my phone. That didn't change anything. My Mac won't send, or receive iMessages on my Macbook. It seems that the Messages app doesn't recognize my contacts when I click on a specific contact and highlights the name read in the Messages app. Does anyone have an idea why it is doing this, and what can I do to resolve the problem?

Can your MacBook Pro (MBP) recognize any Wi-Fi network, just not yours? If so, what is the make & model of your wireless modem?
