Hook two monitors to MacBook Pro

I'm new to this posting questions so please bare with me if you have seen my post before.
I've have posted this question twice but can't find either post to see if someone has responded.
I recently bought a MBP with 1 Firewire800 port; 1 Thunderbolt port; 2 USB3 ports.
I want to hook two monitors to the MBP and I have been looking at the Belkin hub that has 1Firewire800 port; 2 Thunderbolt ports; 3 USB3 ports.
I want to know of I can connect my MBP via the Firewire800 port to the Belkin hub Firewire800 port? That would leave  on the Belkin hub 2 Thunderbolt ports to hook up the two external monitors.
I also have a printer; scanner; DYMO label maker; 2 External Hard drives; keyboard - so I will need the USB3 ports.

  • I want to hook up two monitors to MacBook Pro

    I just bought a 2014 MacBook Pro with 1 Firewire800 port; 1 thunderbolt port; 2 USB ports. I want to hook up two monitors. Can I connect the MacBook Pro to a hub via Firewire800 port on laptop to Firewire800 port on hub? That would leave me two Thunderbolt ports on hub to connect the two monitors?

  • How to connect two monitors using macbook pro?

    Hi,
    I have a Macbook Pro through which I want to extend the displays to two individual monitors.
    The two monitors should show two different windows which is opened through my macbook.
    I have observed that macbook has only one mini display port through which I connect to HDMI or to DVI ports in monitor.
    So how do I connect another monitor source to my macbook, which ports can help in this situation?
    The monitors I have which can supports HDMI,DVI,VGA and DP ports.
    Could anyone help me on this issue.
    Thanks.

    You can use a USB 2.0/3.0 to HDMI/DVI interface.  You might also consder Thundebolt to HDMI/DVI.
    The MBP 13" will support three screens (two external) and the MBP 15" will support four screen (three external).

  • Need help connecting Dell U2713HM monitor to MacBook Pro

    What is the best way to connect a Dell U2713HM monitor to MacBook Pro OS 10.7.5 to maximize the resolution 2560 x 1440? I was using a VGA adapter on my old Viewsonic monitor that hooked into the Thunderbolt port, I think. When I use my old adapter with the new Dell monitor, it stops my Mac from responding and the monitor says it has no DVI connection. When I unplug the adapter from my Mac, it starts working again.  I'm not very good with all these port options and descriptions so talk real slow, please.

    1 Dual Link Digital Visual Interface connectors (DVI-D) with HDCP
    1 DisplayPort 1.2 (DP)
    1 High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI)
    1 Video Graphics Array (VGA)
    1 USB 3.0 upstream port
    4 USB 3.0 downstream ports
    Thank you!

  • How to connect an external monitor to macbook pro. The monitor has no usb connector without a usb

    How to connect an external monitor to macbook pro. The monitor has no usb connecter, only a port.

    Most MacBook Pro models have a Mini DVI port, a Mini DisplayPort or a ThunderBolt port for connecting an external display. USB does not have enough bandwidth to support a responsive display connection.
    What model MacBook Pro do you have, by year, CPU speed or MacBook Pro 3.1 designation?

    Your notebook computer must be awake to do what you want to do.
    Get yourself a longer cable, or buy an Apple-TV box and do it wirelessly.

    how do i clean spots on monitor of macbook pro with retina display?

    Light alcohol cleaners, like what you use for camers lenses, works.  Just do not have the soft cloth cleaning pad dripping wet ... dripping wet will allow fluid to get onto internal components.

  • How to mirror to tv monitor using macbook pro 2012

    how to mirror to tv monitor using macbook pro 2012.  The airplay is not displayed anywhere except I Tunes which only plays what is on I Tunes.

    Howdy there nell a-7,
    It sounds like you are not seeing the Airplay icon in the menu bar on your Mac but you do see it in iTunes. I would use these steps from the following article to help troubleshoot the issue:
    iOS: Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4215
    Try these steps first
    Verify that your iOS device's software is up to date.
    Verify your Apple TV's software is up to date.
    Verify that your iOS device has Wi-Fi turned on. Enable Wi-Fi on your iOS device by going to Settings > Wi-Fi.
    All AirPlay-enabled devices must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
    Some Wi-Fi network configurations offer a Guest Network. On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General >Network and ensure that you're connecting to the same Wi-Fi network on your iOS device. On your iOS device, tap Setting > Wi-Fi and confirm that this matches your Apple TV.
    If the AirPlay icon doesn't appear
    Ensure that you have followed the steps in using AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring.If you are still unable to see the AirPlay icon  , try one of the following steps:
    If trying to AirPlay, or AirPlay mirror, to your Apple TV, ensure that AirPlay is enabled on your Apple TV as well. You can enable or disable AirPlay on Apple TV in the AirPlay menu: Settings > AirPlay.
    Check Internet or network connectivity on all affected devices.
    Some content requires an Internet connection to authorize content playback. AirPlay capabilities may be limited if your network is not connected to the Internet.
    If attempting to use AirPlay from a third-party app or a website from your Safari app on your iOS device, confirm that the app or website is AirPlay compatible (refer to the developers of the app or website for additional information).
    Here is some additional information about Airplay for Mac:

  • How to hook up 3 monitors to macbook pro?

    Hey people,
    I have searched for hours trying to find the best solution for hooking up three external monitors to my macbook pro (mid 2010).
    The only serious (not homemade) solution is the Matrox TripleHead2Go DP Edition, but this solution only gives me a max resolution of 4080x768 (3x 1360x768).
    Unfortunately I dont believe that would be enough to satisfy me needs.
    I dont think Im the first one struggling with this problem, any solution will be much appreciated!
    tl;dr:
    Need to hook 3 monitors up to my macbook pro (mid 2010), whats the best solution?

    Thunderbolt-capable Macs, with discrete AMD Radeon graphics can support up to TWO connected Apple Thunderbolt Displays.
    MacBook Pro (15-inch and 17-inch, Early 2011) and later
    iMac (Mid 2011)2
    Mac mini (Mid 2011), 2.5 GHz3
    All others can only support one external directly, usually based on a Mini DisplayPort with an adapter.
    You could use two of these, but reports are they are "laggy":

    I've connected one external monitor to a Macbook Pro (non-retina, 13", mid 2012) using a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter.
    Can I connect a second external monitor using a USB to DVI or USB to HDMI adapter? Will the Macbook Pro recognize a monitor connected to the USB port?

  • Two external monitors with macbook pro

    attempting to use my MBP in clamshell mode with two external monitors.  Only thing I get is the same screen on both monitors.  I am also using VM Fusion running a windows xp interface. 
    Tried just mac software...same problem.  Won't set up as two seperate monitors.
    HELP

    My understanding is that a "splitter" simply shares the same output signal between two monitors, causing both to display the same image at all times. That's exactly what you're seeing, right? So I think it's because you're using a splitter, instead of a device or devices that enable the monitors to receive different signals. Unless the manufacturer or vendor of your splitter can assure you otherwise and help you get your setup running the way you want it to, a better alternative would be to connect one monitor to your computer's video-out port, and the other to a USB port using an adapter like this:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/VIDU2DVIA/
    Note that the monitor connected via USB won't be as responsive as the one connected to the video-out port.
    A more expensive option that would enable both monitors to be equally responsive is the Matrox DualHead2Go. If you have a MBP with a Mini-Displayport or Thunderbolt port, you would need the DP Edition of the DH2Go.

  • Your Suggestions on Adding External LCD / LED Monitors to MacBook Pro?

    My current work station is a PowerPC G4 Dual 867Mhz with dual 19" CRT displays. I use this for design work (Adobe Illustrator); photo restoration (Photoshop); & online sales.
    I was down to my last two CRT monitors, and wanted to perhaps start porting some of the graphic intense work to a faster computer so I bought this MacBook Pro:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP499
    I have not actually had a chance to use the MacBook Pro - it and all the accessories are still sealed - I couldn't afford the down time to set it up.
    I am wanting to add a external monitor to the MacBook Pro that would be suitable for detailed design work with accurate color, true blacks, and the ability to be correctly calibrated. Since I may be still doing work on the G4 with software that will not run on the MacBook Pro I'd like to perhaps buy 3 matching monitors , 2 to replace my crt units and 1 for the MacBook, so that I can closely match the design output between the G4 and MacBook Pro.
    I briefly tried a inexpensive LCD TV with a PC hookup on the G4 to get some idea of how an lcd would look. The LCD TV had a native resolution of 1440 X 960, which is a 3:2 aspect ratio, but that resulted in designs elements being distorted (i.e., squares look like rectangles). In 4:3 mode the TV did not distort the design elements, but the picture was not crisp / sharp and appeared soft. From what I've read this is because the lcd, unlike a crt, can't correctly emulate resolutions other than the native resolution built into the screen (i.e., its software guesswork). I also did not like the fact than in 4:3 mode it left black areas on the right and left edges of the screen.
    I typically work in a 4:3 aspect ratio with a resolution of 1024 X 768, but a higher resolution of say 1600 X 1200 would be o.k. So what are your suggestions as to finding a lcd / led monitor that has a 4:3 aspect ratio? So far I've found limited information on what appear to be old monitors - there's one on Dell's site; for example, that says it has 1600 x 1200 native resolution, but a review also says its the same monitor they've been making for 5 years (besides I don't think I'd like the idea of hooking a Dell into my Mac). Found a few references to Lacie and NEC.
    I really don't understand the monitor manufacturers, including Apple, that claim their monitors are for design work, when they don't offer native a 4:3 aspect ratio. How exactly am I to complete designs when circles are ovals and squares are rectangles?

    "Take a flash drive with some representative PDF files saved from Illustrator to your nearest Apple Store or Apple reseller and ask for a demonstration using one of Apple's beautiful 27" 2560 x 1600 monitors. It would replace both of your 1024 x 768 CRTs with lots of additional desktop real estate to spare."
    1. Well, actually no since I do not have fixed 1024 x 768 crts since crts do not have fixed resolutions. I can easily set each monitor to a variety of other resolutions including 1600 x 1200. Actually the Apple display would be a step down in total working area if I used the largest common resolution of 1792 x 1344 and certainly not worth the extra cost for the space gained if working at 1600 x 1200.
    2. Unfortunately the display requires 10.6, which does not work on a G4 Dual 867Mhz. It would not even work on my MacBook Pro that I've not had a chance to use yet as it comes with 10.5. Also, 10.6 drops supports for PowerPC emulation so that means buying hundreds of dollars in new software. I use Apples only, but one thing I hate about the company is what many perceive is their "elitist attitude" toward their users - do they really think most people in the real world have so much money that in order to use Apple's new 27" display that they have to go out and spend more than the display costs on updating their computer and software. I am not a zombie fanboy willing to buy anything just because it has Apple on it.
    3. Like most people I do not live by an Apple store or a Apple reseller, even the local Best Buy does not carry Apple computers in their store because the retail space does not justify the resulting sales (not that I would buy anything there anyway as they are over priced). I am really not interested in driving several hundred miles to the nearest store.
    4. For a $1,000 I expect a monitor to offer a native 4:3 (1600 x 1200) aspect ratio - certainly Apple knows that this is the preferred working environment of many CAD and graphic users but they chose not to offer this in the display, thus the Apple display is really seems geared toward pop corn munching movie watching consumers.
    5. This display is not actually made by Apple, its probably LG or one of their other suppliers.
