Flip an (external) screen with a MacbookAir

I am currently working on my master-thesis. During the developement of my prototype I came upon a litlle problem…
I would like to "flip" my external screen or my screen of my MacbookAir. Is their any kind of tweak or possibility to do this?
Any sloution is welcome!
I have tried to download the program "Display Rotation Menu" but you can only rotate (90°, 180°, 270°) the external screen and I would like to flip it…
Thank in advance!

Thanks for the reply David Won1,
The only problem is, that I would like to flip my screen.
For example: If I can flip my screen it wouldn't be possible to read my text on my screen, because it's written in mirrorwriting. This means that the text that I am reading is written in reverse.
And for my master thesis I would like to have my screen in a "reverse" position, like the previous example.
Is there no tweak, program or solution that can help me?
Again, thanks for all the help.

Connecting external Screen with Toshiba DynaDock U3

Hi,
I have the following issue:
Bought two external Screens (Dell U2412M)
Notebook: ASUS Zenbook
Dynadock Station U3
Now, I connected the first Screen with DVI to the DynaDock and it works perfectly.
The Dockstation has only 1 port for DVI, so i had to connect the second Screen through HDMI, but unfortunately my dell Screens do not have HDMI Connection, but displayPort. so I bought a cable which can connect Displayport to HDMI. And i connected the Screen displayport with HDMI to the DynaDock.
Unfortunately my device do not recognize the second external Screen.
I have no idea why it is so.
Hope some kindly Person can help me.
Kind Regards,
Alessandro

>I have no idea why it is so.
Possible its not Dynadock issue
You should firstly check if the cable you bought is OK and would work without the usage of Dynadock
Connect an external monitor to HDMI port using this cable and check if it would work properly.
and just to confirm: the Dynadock U3 can handle up to 2 external monitors simultaneously.

External screen with macbook pro blinking

Hi everyone,
i've an external screen ACER connected via hdmi to my macbook pro run on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3
The problem is the external screen blinks every 3 or 4 minutes, i get a dark screen for 1 or 2 secondes
i tried to change both the cable and the adaptater [hdmi] but it seems that the problem come from the OS configuration.
When i open the console.app to see which are the errors i got
IOSurface: buffer allocation size is zero
every 2 or 3 minutes, i need your help please

I own a mac mini that stays connected to the 52" LCD 120hz in my living room. The image is perfect, and fits just fine. I did a mini-display port to dvi and got a monster cable adapter for dvi to hdmi which too it to my tv. I did have to go into the tv and set the tv to overscan I think on the image to make it fit and you will have to adjust the resolution on the computer. I can say the colors are darker on the tv and this is just due to the nature of the screen size. Newer LED tvs may be better, but mine is only 1 1/2 years old.
For an external display, just go to the educators link, select your college and you get $100 off. My wife is an educator and I am back in college so it's no hassle. Or they just ask for an ID. I own 2 24" ACD and they are nice. I do photography and a screen calibration is a must. Once done you'll be happy. And docking with the laptop is handy.

External screen with new macbook pro 13"

Hello I've a issue with my new macbook pro 13" (i5,8go,SSD). I have a external 27" monitor yiiama B2776HDS-B1 who was working fine with my macbook pro 13" 2010 running on snow leopard. But with my new one, I've got a black border on each side of the screen with the same resolution (1920x1080) used with my old macbook. My macbook is linked with a vga cable and a apple mini display adaptator.

The newer MacBook Pros use ThunderBolt which came out after the MacBooks were discontinued. So you might post this question in the MacBook Pro forum for a better chance at an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/notebooks/macbook_pro

External screen with no power on macbook

It's so ridiculous that I can't have just an external screen on my macbook without power connected. Any software/pkg that fixes this?

The price you pay for being portable. If you want the configurability of a desktop, get a desktop.
The power required to process the video would drain the battery so fast you wouldn't be happy either.
Apple has decided which scenario you get to complain about

Why can't i use my external screen with messagecentre

I could not get the message centre in Mountain Lion working. Now I read that it will not work when you've got a second screen connected to the iMac. What for is this, will there be a solution for this soon?
And how can we ask Apple to change this?

I presume you are talking about the Messages app.
To start it off you need to list an Apple ID that you want to use with the iMessages Service.
This can then be used to send and receive iMessages from iOS devices or other Messages apps
The app can also use the older style iChat Screen Names and IDs and these can be added the same way they were in iChat.
The "iChat Side" is the bit that does the Screen Sharing and it should cope with some one using two Displays.
What you have to remember is that two side by side displays may have to be shown on one 15" monitor and everything can look very small.

Is there an app for video playback on external screen from ipad mini which avoids mirroring?

I want to play fullscreen video from ipad mini to external screens with a clean look and without without showing playback controls etc. I need to be able to play, pause, change the order of video tracks without affecting the external display as it's for playback of video backing tracks for a music show.
Does anybody know of any apps which do this? I'm looking at Portfolio for iPad at the moment which looks promising.

No.

Nokia 6555's external screen turns on alone?

Hi,
I've just bought a nokia 6555 (and hope I won't regret it!) and something seems weird: sometimes, without touching the phone, the external screen with the analogic watch turns on alone...
Do you know what could make that happen?
Just hope that there won't be any battery problem, like it seems to be for most people who owned a nokia 6555.... :s
Thanks
>Sorry if I've made some mistakes, I'm French...

So I went to an apple store today, and explained them my problem. We tried a new "mini-dvi to vga" adapter but still the external screen was green!! Also, when using my adapter that I supposed was broken on another PB the output singal was perfect! So as it turns out, it's my PB thats not working properly..
The guys at the store said it must be somthing with the motherboard.. I just don't think I can miss my PB for more than a few days!! :P

External screen arrangement has stopped 'sticking' after logout on one account.

I've been using an external screen with my 2006 MacBook 2.1 since forever, but recently the screen arrangement I've set up doesn't stick when I reboot or relogin. It reverts to a previous arrangement, and I have to redo the arrangement in System Preferences each time.
Is there a way round this short of a new user account?
thanks

Reply much appreciated. Although I do not claim to have much knowledge of this type of hardware and software problems but they do give me a challenge. I have been trying various things. while I was doing this, switching the pc on and off, at one point the display on LCD came back.
When I checked the status in Device manager the error message,'WINDOWS HAS STOPPED THIS DEVICE AS WINDOWS HAS REPORTED PROBLEM (CODE 43) had disappeared and it said.' The device is working properly'!
I notice that the CPU temp rises upto about 51 deg C, the fan goes crazy (fast and slow)and the temp falls down and fluctuates between 27 and 48.
The screen goes blank again and come on some time and most times not!
To me it looks like that the chipset gives up when too hot.
I intend to open up the laptop and see if the GPU chip is seated, has good contact with its heatsink etc.
If anyone has any further suggestions, will be appreciated.

8220 Flip External Screen Problem

I'm a brand new blackberry owner and this is my first ever blackberry devive, so please be patient with me
The external display on my 8220 Flip is not acting how it was all day yesterday after I bought it. The external screen constantly displays the clock and will not turn itself off. I charged it last night on the bedstand and this morning it was still on. Playing music works ok, but the clock still displays if music is playing while the flip is closed. External buttons for pause and volume work correctly, and cause the external "now playing" screen to briefly appear, but then it goes right back to the clock.
I'm not sure exactly how this would have changed, but it appeared to happen when I changed from one theme to another, unforutnately it did not correct itself by going back to the correct behavior after I returned to the original theme.
I'm almost positive this has to (eventually) have some kind of negative affect on the display and battery life. Can anyone point me in the right direction for fixing this?
Many thanks in advance!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Open the clock application, click menu, select options and change 'when charging' to 'do nothing'.

Macbook Pro with external screen

Hello guys!
First my setup:
Macbook Pro 2011 13" Low-spec.
Acer 24" FullHD external screen.
Apple keyboard.
Wireless mouse.
Now what i want to do with this is, i want to have my macbooks lid open, but the screen shut off, so i can use the great resolution of my Acer screen.
What i've been trying:
Have both open at same time in mirroring mode - MBP's resolution is "default" but my Acer screen turns to a REALLY REALLY bad resolution. Even though it's still set to it's default as 720p it's really bad. Now if i turn it to another resolution on my acer screen, it's just still bad.
Because of that, i've been trying to close the lid - This gives me a really great resolution on my Acer screen, and it's all sharp and nice. But as soon as i open the lid of my macbook pro, it goes back to the really bad resolution. Now you may wonder why i can't use it with the lid close - Because i want to use the inbuilt microphone for "Ventrillo" maybe the trackpad too, and being able to use the webcam too would be perfect.
So the question is: How do i turn the screen of my macbook of, so my Acer screen can have it's great resolution, and still be able to take advantage of the macbooks inbuilt luxury stuff.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Over and out.

You don't have to turn off the built-in display to use the Acer at its maximum resolution. Just turn off Mirroring in Displays Preferences, and you can set each display's resolution independently of the other. In Mirrored mode, both displays always operate at exactly the same resolution.

Only black screen on the external monitor with intel-virtual-output

Hello,
I tried to install bumblebee on my Lenovo W520 with this tutorial:
http://www.unixreich.com/blog/2013/linu … ly-solved/
I can activate my external monitor with "intel-virtual-output" and the monitor is switching on. But I can only see a black screen.
In the settings of gnome I can see my external monitor and configure it - but it shows nothing.
Have you any ideas?
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
Same problem here on my Lenovo W530.
Intel-virtual-output used to work fine but since it got upgraded the virtual output stays black.

I need to connect my Imac 27'' (newest version) up to 3/4 monitors (all 40'' LCD tv's with VGA and HDMI connections) with extended display to all external screens, not duplicate images. Is this possible?

i need to connect my Imac 27'' (newest version) up to 3/4 monitors (all 40'' LCD tv's with VGA and HDMI connections) with extended display to all external screens, not duplicate images. Is this possible?

I would suggest you visit an Apple dealer, preferably an Apple Store if there's one in your city, and ask for assistance in determining what you need. The questions and issues you bring up are rather complex to address in a technical support forum and would be better addressed in person where you and the salesperson can ask questions back and forth to arrive at the optimal setup.
Regards.
