External Monitor in Bootcamp question.

Hi All! For the life of me, I cannot get my LG display to run dual with my macbook pro retina in windows 7 bootcamp.
I have installed every driver with no luck. HDMI, nor thunderbolt>DVI are even recognised. Windows doesnt even recognise the display at all in control panel. Yet my thunderbolt >DVI connection works flawlessly when im in iOS
Has anyone solved such an issue with their bootcamp?
None of the help ive read so far has helped me with this issue.
I have a 15" Macbook pro Retina with all latest updates and bootcamp software running...

yeah

External monitor in BootCamp?

I have just ordered a new MacBook to replace my older MacBook Pro and have heard that you cannot use an external monitor (or projector) in BootCamp with a MacBook. Actually I was pointed to an Apple doc that says you can't use external monitors with either the Macbook or Macbook Pro...which I know isn't accurate, as I've used my Macbook Pro with various displays and projectors in Bootcamp since I got it over 2 years ago. Can anyone confirm that you can use the mini-DVI to VGA adapter in Bootcamp? I need it to run some presentation software. thanks!

External monitor and bootcamp

hi guys, my external monitor works perfect with leopard but with windowsxp don´t and it goes on blue screen error. Seems to be tipical windows drivers problem. Any idea?
Thanks!

Hey mayaman,
Did you install the recently released Bootcamp update?
If not, get it here : http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/27367/apple-bootcamp
I don't get a blue screen but Windows Vista in that case won't recognize my external Display. Only after a reboot it works without any issue.

T61 External Monitor Port Failure Question

I have a Lenovo T61 8897-cto (purchased 4/2008) with what I believe is a failing backlight. In dim environments I can still see the screen. I've been temporarily using an external monitor, but the external monitor just went blank and I can't get it back, (the external monitor works fine with another laptop which I'm using now). My question is, does this new fault point to a system board failure? I suppose it could be a connector but I don't move the system often and not recently. The only other things that comes to mind is that the battery is dying and only has 50% of its capacity left, (but I always run it with the AC cable plugged in).
I'm just wonder if it is worth putting any money into this laptop or to parts it out. I've already ordered a replacement W510 which I should get in under 2 weeks. I was thinking about using the T61 as a backup or dedicated to Ubuntu, but I can buy a used one for under $600 so I don't want to dump $400 into to have it repaired.
Any suggestions/prior experience with failing LCD displays and external video port?

1400x1050 is the highest screen resolution, so I guess that is SXGA+ No, I've never spilled anything on the laptop. I'm running Windows Vista Pro latest Service Pack. I rebooted the system this morning and the external display was detected and used during the boot process. It started to work again under Windows. I'm starting to think that it was some sort of power saving mode that failed to re-initialize. The main laptop screen is still dim, but readable in a dark room. It does have a bit of a tint to it, which I've read is an indicator of a failing backlight. I've checked the warranty on the Lenovo website and they've indicated that it has expired.

External monitor on Bootcamp windows 7? (IMAC)

I am having problems with getting my external monitor to work in windows 7. It works properly with mac. It seems that the problem is that is does not detect the screen, as there is only 1 screen detected so i cannot choose a second one. I am using that mini port to VGA adapter.
I hope you can help me.

External Monitor with Bootcamp (and Windows Vista Business)

It looks like this has been discussed quite a bit already, but as a computer neophyte I've had a hard time deciphering an answer that applies to my unique circumstance. So apologies if some of you've already been over this.
Anyway, here's my question/problem:
My second monitor (Gateway HD2250) doesn't work when I'm using Bootcamp (Windows Vista Business). I'm running a VGA cord from the Gateway monitor to a VGA adapter that's plugged in to the back of my Mac. My computer's a late '06 iMac w/ Mac OS X 10.5.5. BTW, my virtual Windows does seem to register the second monitor; it's just that nothing shows up on the Gateway screen.
Ideas for help? Thanks everyone!!

I managed to get an upgrade version of XP to run by using the internal DVD drive for the main all disc and an external DVD drive for my qualifying disc. Has to be that way round because the Apple keyboard ceases to function for a while and the required USB windows keyboard dosen't have an eject button. The whole business was very painful however, trying to get the installer restarts to select the correct drive each time.

External Monitor with Bootcamp

I am running Bootcamp on my MBP (Leopard 10.5.2). Is it possible to run a second monitor in the Windows partition? I am running XP Pro, SP2. I tried plugging in a monitor, but it didn't seem to recognize that it was there. Am I doing something wrong, or is it not possible? Thanks in advance.
Charles

I have found a solution on my MBP after reading a lot of threads. I have the 15-inch 2.5GHz version with the nVidia graphics card. In Windows XP using BootCamp, the nVidia driver was installed and has a task tray icon in the lower-right of the screen. You have several choices with the options when right-clicking on this icon to get your LCD Projector or whatever else to work. Here are 2 solutions (you must have the LCD or TV connected to the video port on the Mac :
1. Right-click the nVidia icon in the task tray. Highlight 'nView Display Settings' and then 'Dualview'. You can click on 'Laptop Display + <the model of your LCD>' to have the nVidia utility switch your laptop to extend the desktop. You will have your main desktop on your laptop screen and a blank screen on the LCD. You can drag windows to the right of your laptop desktop screen and they will move over to the LCD screen.
2. Right-click the nVidia icon in the task tray. Highlight 'nView Display Settings' and then 'Single display'. If you click the model of your LCD projector or TV in the list, the laptop display will go blank and the screen will switch to the LCD giving you what you want by toggling the display as normal in Windows. You will need to work with the resolution settings as the switch seems to have its own independent settings than the normal Windows desktop.
Hope this helps!

How do I use two external monitors with my laptop?

I have a new Pavilion dm4-301 d cl Entertainment PC. My OS is Windows 7. I am used to using two external monitors with a docking station. This new laptop does not have a docking station. What do I need to get to use two external monitors?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Certainly not without a dock but even with, HP laptop docks pretty well limit you to one of the external monitor ports, even if there are two on the dock. We have used a device called an Atlona AT-HDPIX2 which is a usb to hdmi adapter. It provides a third monitor capability for a laptop....use the native external monitor port and the internal laptop display and then this device gives a third monitor which is full configurable from the Windows 7 display interface...clone, extend, etc. It allows full HD resolution and is responsive enough for even light gaming. HP makes no true docking station for your laptop.

Turn off monitor.
All ok.
PROBLEM states:
• Monitor connected and ON, next to macbook in bootcamp win7.
• Monitor connected, ON, and 5ft away from computer in bootcamp win7. (no proximity)
• Monitor connected, ON, and connected to 2nd laptop VGA, display set to macbook so it outputs the macbook in bootcamp win7. (connection)
NOT Problem states:
• Monitor connected and OFF.
• Monitor ON and not connected. (proximity)
• Monitor On, and connected to 2nd laptop on VGA in same location. (proximity)
• Monitor connected, ON, and connected to 2nd laptop VGA, display set to VGA so it outputs the 2nd laptop. (proximity+connection)
• LAN connected, any test.
• In Mac OSX, no problem.
So problem state is when the macbook is in NVidia mode, connected and using external monitor in Bootcamp Win7 over the wireless network. Proximity has no effect. Connection, unused has no effect. No wired LAN problem.
I found some posts from 2007 about OSX having this issue, no one got beyond “it must be the monitor is too close and interfering with wireless”
I would have to say driver issue if OSX is ok, and bootcamp is not. Swapping drivers with Bootcamp drivers, win drivers, no joy.
Ideas?

Wow, I couldn't believe it when I saw it. I've been having really bad wifi troubles only in Windows (7 64-bit Ultimate, specifically), and after looking all over the place I happened upon this post. I immediately unplugged the monitor and voila, the signal improved instantly and dramatically. I ran several tests with the monitor unplugged and plugged, and I can confirm that the monitor is definitely the culprit. I'm also using the DVI adapter from Monoprice. Thank you for this post, time to cancel my order for a new router. I would have NEVER thought to try unplugging/plugging my external monitor (also a Dell, incidentally).
Technical details:
1. Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter from Monoprice: http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?cid=104&cp_id=10428&cs_id=1042802&pid=5106&seq=1&format=2
2. Windows 7 x64 Ultimate (problem doesn't occur in Mac OS).
3. MacBook Pro 13", newest model.
4. Dell S2409W monitor.

Hp 21-ho39 and external monitor

I have an external monitor I would like to hook up to my all-in-one. But it only allows me to hook up a wireless monitor. My computer does not see my external monitor.
This question was solved.

While backwards wording, it might be similar to the one I showed. Did you actually get one that supported Windows 8.1, as the one I linked does? Also, did you install the software for it?

External monitor help

Hi All,
I've just started working for a company that uses all PC's. I want to use my Mac but want to make use of their external monitors.
2 Questions;
1) What do I need to do to hook up to an external monitor?
2) Would I be able to link to 2 external monitors?
Thanks,
D,

Hi-
Is the following your Macbook?
http://support.apple.com/specs/macbookpro/MacBookPro_15-inchGlossy.html
If so, you have one DVI output, which can drive a DVI connected monitor, or a VGA connected monitor, using a DVI to VGA adapter.
The Acer monitor will connect to VGA (use the adapter), as will the LG.
To run both monitors, you will need some further hardware solution. This, I believe, will require costly splitters and adapters.

Another bootcamp and external monitor question

my external display works fine and looks good, however, while running xp pro with SP 2, i cannot tell windows to make my external monitor the primary display. is there a way around this? thanks.

bootcamp drivers for the GPU unit lack that functionality. Instead you can use more recent drivers for your GPU. Before installing any, make sure you uninstall the current one.
For ATI:
Alternative 1: Go to http://www.omegadrivers.net/ and download ati driver.
Alternative 2: Download latest ATI driver for your chipset from ATI but not mobility one. For instance if your GPU is ATI Mobility Radeon X1600, download Radeon X1600 driver from ati. Then mod it with modtool from http://www.driverheaven.net/modtool.php
For NVIDIA:
Download your driver from http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/

Bootcamp 2.0, Win XP 32bit and beamer / external monitor activation

Hi,
similar topics have been posted but I could not find any solution yet...
My system: MacBook (NOT Pro, Core2Duo, with 10.5 Leopard and Bootcamp 2.0 with Win XP Pro 32bit SP2) and Mini-DVI to DVI adapter.
Working on Leopard connecting my external monitor (Fujitsu-Siemens P19-2) is working perfectly. It is automatically detected and activated.
When I connect the monitor on Win XP, the desktop and tasbar flicker/are reloaded, i.e. ANYTHING is detected. However, the monitor is black and says "No signal" and i cannot activate it. I considered/tried:
- the Windows way: FN + F7 => did not work / is deactivated and tools like Input Remapper didnt work (written for Macbook Pro only afaik)
- the 2nd Windows way: Display Properties, Settings => any changes without effect
- via Bootcamp / GMA Driver Properties: no possibility to activate 2nd monitor: Note at "Display Devices"-menu: "Two displays must be connected to the computer before you can use this feature. Please connect another display."
Therefore my questions:
- any solution i did not consider?
- is it a bootcamp / driver issue to be solved in bootcamp updates?
- is there a keyboard tool similar to inputRemapper for Not-Pro-Macbooks? (To activate not only FN+F7 but also Del and PSC)
Thanks in advance...
Ben

Thing is, I am trying this too. However, the only option I get is to clone the display. This is not what I want, I want to use the TV as the primary display. This way games will startup on the big TV and not on my Macbook Pro. Now I don't get the option to use that TV as a primary display.
So leaves me with the option to clone the display and have same image rendered on both screens... This is NOT what i want. In Leopard everything works great... obviously...
PLease let me know if you got any solutions for this

Windows 8 Bootcamp Does Not Recognize External Monitor

So, my Bootcamp of Windows 8 does not recognize my external monitor when I try to plug it in. I have read that the startup must recognize the monitor during the boot process. However, I have already done this and my external monitor remains in sleep mode. My drivers are all up to date with this bootcamp and I work on programming a lot so I need a solution for this issue because going back and forth between windows of the internet and my code is not ideal for me and wastes too much time. The external monitor works when I run my OS X, just not on Windows 8. If anyone could point me in the direction of how to solve this issue, it would be greatfully appreciated.

They're downloadable. But I'm going to create a system restore point in case something happens.
