Having trouble matching External display's colour to Macbook Pro

I got myself an external monitor very recently, a Dell Ultrasharp model which I think is a great external. Problem is I'm having trouble getting the colour settings to match. I'll be able to both the Dell and my Macbook screen to match up certain colours perfectly but others will appear grossly inconsistant with each other. For example, if I get blues to match up, browns or reds may be different shades entirely. So I'd like to ask for help tuning it to work on every colour properly. I've tried using calibartion in system preferences but things still look wrong in some places. Is there any way I can apply the "color LCD" setting on the Macbook into the monitor?

I think your friend is trying to get you to buy him a new TV. The TV going out and the computer being connected to it were likely coincidental. If Macbook Pros were destroying external monitors as your friend suggests then there would be more reports and outraged customers. Yours is the first post I've seen suggesting that a TV was destroyed because of a Macbook Pro.

Whats the maximum resolution resolution supported @ 60 Hz on an external display for mid 2014 macbook pro retina 13 inch ?

whats the maximum resolution supported @ 60 Hz on an external display for mid 2014 macbook pro retina 13 inch ?

I don't know where you found 1920x1080, but that isn't the max. The INTERNAL display can even support more than that.
The maximum resolution is really hardware based, and since Thunderbolt 2 has a Mini displayport connector (Mini Displayport 1.2), the max resolution for Mini Displayport is 4k (3840x2160).
PLEASE NOTE: Not all adapters can support that resolution, most monitors that can run 4k @60Hz have Displayport 1.2 (The most recent revision), Mini Displayport 1.2, and HDMI 2.0. DVI dual link can run 4k, but only 24-30Hz, depending on the monitor.
Hope this helps!!

Is anyone having trouble installing Adobe flash player on a MacBook Pro?

Is anyone having trouble installing Adobe flash player on a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.7.5?

Thanks for your help here is what I did so far!
I have uninstalled Adobe and reinstalled it, I've tried restarting my browser, then my MacBook Pro without any success!
When I click on the Apple in the upper left hand corner and open System Preferences I can see Adobe Flash Player on the bottom under the Other section.
If I open Adobe up and check the version it tells me that I have the most recent version!
I even uninstalled Adobe and installed the newest Beta version, but Adobe is still not working! If I check for the latest version it tells me that I do have the latest beta version, but it still doesn't work!
If the person who made the video used any other video player it works!
Their player, plays the video without a problem!

I can't seem to run 3 external displays of off my MacBook Pro 13inc with Retina.

I can't seem to run 3 external displays of off my MacBook Pro 13inc with Retina (2.8GHz Intel Core i7, 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3, 512GB SD driven, OS X 10.9.3) It only picks ups 2 displays. I also have a 15inch Mac Book Pro with Retina that can run all 3 screens. Any suggestions, please?

The late 2013 MacBook Pro Retina 13 inch screen model can power three external displays in addition to its own.
Here is a video showing three external displays working; 1 HDMI, 1 MiniDisplay Port, and 1 thru USB using a Startech external video card to DVI adapter. All the external displays are old 23 inch Apple Cinema Displays hooked up thru each monitor's Apple Display Connector (ADC), then to Apple ADC to DVI adapters, then a third adapter (HDMI, USB, MiniDisplayport). So ADC/ADC to DVI/DVI to whatever/MacBook. The monitors are probably older than some of the users on this board. The USB to DVI external card/adapter is what makes it work, and it's less than $70 online.

How Can I Connect 2 External Display Monitors to a MacBook Pro? Help

I want to know if I can (and How to) connect 2 external display monitors to a MacBook Pro... late 2006 & the new Unibody MBP.
I'll appreciate

Requires additional hardware - the Matrox DualHead2Go. For the late 2006, you'd need the DualHead2Go Digital Edition, and for the unibody you'd need the DualHead2Go DP Edition, with appropriate cabling (and a DVI-to-VGA adapter for the late 2006 MBP).

Need advice for external display for my retina Macbook Pro.

I got my 15-inch retina Macbook Pro (Mid 2014) two months ago. It’s a fantastic machine but I am having some regrets concerning screen size. I want to be able to enjoy movies on my computer but 15-inch is just too small. So I am considering purchasing an external display for my Macbook Pro. I am thinking about a 25’’+ monitor (or TV) which can offer me closest experience to the retina one on my Macbook. I don’t want 4K monitors though, as most of the contents I consume are full HD 1080P. But I do care about PPI a lot (for browsing).
What kind of display can help me obtain this similar experience I get on my Mac? Any recommendations? Thanks.

I have the 15" MacBook Pro, Retina, Mid 2012 also, same exact model. Kind of the same thing is happening with me. I will intermitentyl get a flickering on the bottom 1/3 of the screen, all the way across. It flickers/flashes on and off on the bottom half or third of the screen, when I am typing or when I am perfectly stil, doen't really matterl. Only happens for a split second, but can do it multiple times, or sometimes not at all. I can go tens of minutes without i hapenning, but I can also go tens of seconds with it happening multiple times.
It never goes black or grey or "out" at all, just randomly flickers throughout the day.
I do get burned-in images all the time, but they disappear within seconds. But this flickering is definitely worrysome. I did get the the Apple Care, so I am not too worried as Apple is usually good about this kind of thing, but I do have a similar problem to you and wanted to document this. I didnt find many other people oiut there with this problem, so let me know what has gone on since your post on the New Year. Any solution? Did you call Apple?
Thanks webrian.

External Display not working with MacBook Pro 13" (early 2011)

I just bought the current MacBook Pro 13" (i7 processor). My external display (Benq 20"W, 1600x1050) always says "No Signal Detected!". I've tried it with a DVI-Adapter (Griffin Video Display Converter) and with a VGA-Adapter (LMP Mini DisplayPort-VGA-Adapter). With lower resolution I once got a picture (but with weird lines). On my old MacBook (white, 2.16 Ghz) there was never a problem with this display (also OS X 10.6.6). Who can help?

Check this post if you want more info:

The gist is that DVI is currently very iffy through Thunderbolt. Mini display -> mini display OR mini display -> HDMI should work fine. It's most likely not your adapter itself but the fact that it's DVI.
If you can, get a mini display -> HDMI adapter and try that (assuming your external has HDMI).
I should hear back tomorrow or Monday from apple engineers with more specific info about this issue and I will update then.
BTW- DVI anywhere in the chain will make things fail. Mini Display -> DVI and a DVI/HDMI cable won't work with any reliability (I've tested it on three completely different monitors).

Keep external display full screen on macbook pro

Anyone know how to get an external display to go full screen and not exit full screen when using the internal display? When you click away from the full screen window or switch applications full screen automatically exits.
Is there a way to write a script to tell the full screen only to exit when told to, or does anyone know of a third party program that can do this? I got the freeware cinch to help control full screen on externals but there's no use for it if it will just exit.

I am having trouble getting thunderbolt to work between my macbook pro and imac

I am trying ot set up thunderbolt on my labtop and desktop. I plugged both into the thunderbolt as well as a power sorce but neither seem to recognise the Thunderbolt. I looked up a totorial that said I should go to system preferences and displays and change the Arragement but my display only has display and color. I've updated both and have OS X Lion 10.7.5 on both. I feel like it's got to be something simple I'm over looking.

Awesome, thanks everyone for your brilliant ideas in regards to trouble shooting this issue.

I'm having troubles installing 10.6.3 on my Macbook Pro, PLEASE HELP

I'm getting the error that seems to happen to a lot of people: "(volume name)" can't be used because it doesn't use the GUID Partition Table scheme.
When I go to change the Volume Scheme in Disk Utility it's grayed out and says Current, and the Options button is also grayed out, so I can't touch either.
So I try to boot the machine using the Snow Leopard 10.6.3 disc by holding the "c" key during start-up (bong sound) and it spits the disc out and boots normally... is the SL disc not a boot disc as well? I don't care if i have to format the hard drive, I just want it to work with the newer operating system(s). I'm just worried I'll format my hard drive, go to boot with the disc, and it'll pop it out again.
Please help. I'm losing hours at work trying to get this thing updated to Mavericks via Snow Leopard

Do a backup before proceeding.
Try putting the 10.6.3 disk in the computer. During a restart, hold down the option/alt key, select the disk, and see if you can boot from there. If so, select the language, then go to the Utilities menu, and select Disk Utility. Check to see what partition scheme you have by selecting the hard drive.
If you don't have GUID, you are going to need to erase the drive and reformat, which will cause you to lose all your data. Did I mention doing a backup?
If you do have GUID, run Disk Utility repair disk and repair permissions. You may have to do this more than once. Then try in install 10.6.3.
If successful, use the combo update to get to 10.6.8 and then run Software update until there are no more updates.

I am having trouble installing the Sims 3 on my macbook pro.

When I try to install the Sims 3 base game, the installer comes up as it should... but when I try to proceed a message comes up saying the power pc application is no longer supported. My macbook runs on the OS x mavericks operating system, does this system not support the Sims? Someone help please!

Either the installer or the game, or both, are written for Apple's pre-Intel machines. If I were you, I would contact Electronic Arts and see if there is an update to the version that you have.

I'm having trouble syncing my iPhone contacts to my MacBook Pro

I have a new iPhone 5S and a new MacBook Pro and can't seem to get the contacts to sync from the phone to the Mac. The calendar and photos are all syncing just fine, but the contacts don't seem to connect. Any help?

My contacts are all on my iMac, but the iPhone5c won't sync w it or iCloud. I only get a partial list. I have no idea where the partial list is coming from. The old iPhone had all of my contacts.
