Hooking up an EPSON projector to my MBP

Help! how do i get my MBP to find this projector?

Posting the model number of your projector and how you're connecting (DVI, VGA, S-video, etc.) will probably help people help you.

MBP Retina OS X Yosemite has distorted display when connected to Epson projector. How do I fix this?

Hello ATLawson,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that the display, after connecting to a projector, does not have the image quality you would expect. There may be a few different troubleshooting steps I would recommend in this situation. To begin troubleshooting, I would suggest reading over and working through the information in the attached article.

I want to use an IPad (w/retina display-newest) in my church hooked up to a projector

I want to use an IPad (w/retina display-newest) in my church hooked up to a projector and shown on a screen. I'd like to do it wirelessly as the projector will be installed in the ceiling. I am not sure exactly what I would need to get this set up. I do not have wifi at church or cellular but would be getting the iPad (not yet purchased) with wifi only. If I use Apple TV to hook up the projector to, would it need wifi to work if I will only be using the ipad for documents, worksheets (much like what a school/professor would use) or other things that an app could do (draw a line, etc.)

Epson projectors have such a feature, so if you're going to buy a new projector, you might start with their units. The app is described here:
http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/jsp/Landing/ProjectorApp.do
and there's a projector compability list linked from the very bottom of the page. There may be other projector manufacturers with similar apps, but I don't know for sure. All will probably also require a local WiFi network set up, though said network should not need Internet access if that's an issue for you.
Regards.

Macbook MiniVGA Display port Epson Projector Issues "Not Supported"

I have been using my Macbook OSx 10.8.5 with a Rocketfish Mini Displayport to VGA adapter (RF-AP307) connected to an Epson Projector (Powerlite83plus) for 3 weeks and just the other day a blue screen appeared on the projector stating that the computer is 'Not Supported'.
Actions I have already tried:
- turned on and off mirroring
- changed the refresh rate
- unplugged VGA adapter and restarted the computer
- attempted to install firmware update for MiniVGA display port following directions located here: http://support.apple.com/downloads/_Mini_DisplayPort_to_VGA_Firmware_Update (update failed because VGA adapter not found)
Anyone having similar issues and have some additional solutions? Need a solution fast, if I need to buy another VGA adapter I will but would rather not have to spend the money again...
Thanks

"- attempted to install firmware update for MiniVGA display port following directions located here: http://support.apple.com/downloads/_Mini_DisplayPort_to_VGA_Firmware_Update (update failed because VGA adapter not found)"
That update is for the Apple branded adapter, not the Rocketfish adapter.
I have the same adapter as you and have had no problems. That doesn't really mean anything other than the part does work with many types of projectors. Yours could have failed, though. Does it work on any other display or projector?

Epson Projector not working as second monitor

Does anyone know how to set up an Epson Projector to a Macbook Pro? I have a mini display to VGA adapter. We are running Bootcamp and Windows XP Pro. You can make the 2nd screen in the display properties in a continuous page. So you can see on the projection but you can not make the whole desktop a projection. So it will work as a continuous desktop but not as a primary desktop.
Any help is appreciated!

See this post. I think it will help in your situation also.

For some reason the 'Display Properties' does not always 'stick' and often does not do what you are trying to do. (at least that is what I have found) so going to the advanced settings and creating a 'scheme' has fixed issues similar to this.

MacBook Air EPSON Projector audio

I have a MacBook Air and recently lost all sound. When I check under system preferences, Sound Output, it says I am connected to an EPSON Projector Audio. Any ideas what happened and how to remove

Hi everybody
The MacBook Pro folks have the same issues. Here is a similar discussion:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2784143?start=0&tstart=0
I have put some of my problems up there as well. For me nothing worked. Nobody in two Apple stores could help. VGA adapter did not work at all, regardless of the order of connecting cable and adapter. Tried two more adapters and two more cables. Mini-Displayport to DVI -Adapter did also not work. Everything works well under MacOS. Must indeed be something with the Thunderbolt/Mini-Displayport combination port and the Windows driver.
Any idea how to report this to Apple?

Help, 27" iMac won't detect Epson projector

Hello,
I'm trying to connect a 27" to Epson projector via Mini Display to VGA adapter connected through VGA cable to the projector (that works fine with other pc)...the iMac doesn't detect it....
Thanks

This has been a big pain. I got the machine back, started it at the shop and it "seemed" ok. When I got it home, after 30 minutes or so, the same problems came back. Another call to applecare, and a new case number was issued to replace the hard drive. New HD in, got the machine home, and the mouse wouldn't work! I could move the cursor, but not select anything. Sometimes during the restarts I could select things, the next time I couldn't, sometimes I could on one user account and not on another. New call to applecare, new case number, many things tried, but ended up re-installing the OS. So far it seems to work okay, BUT there is something weird going on with Mail.
As soon as it is started it basically consumes all the system memory. I can watch the available memory disappear in activity monitor where it says Mail is using nearly 100% of the CPU. If I go in to preferences-advanced in Mail and disable the account, it stops eating up resources.
Any clues to what is going on??
thanks

Seems likely to be a Boot Camp issue (you might confirm that the projector will work in mirroring mode when booted into the Mac OS).
In that case, you might also post your query in the Boot Camp forum:

I am using an epson projector to present images downloaded to a thumb drive. I renames the images on export to "untitled 101, 102 etc. The projector will not recognize the sequence. It wants 001, 002etc. If I try to start 001 lightroom changes it to 1, 2

I am using an epson projector to present images downloaded to a thumb drive. I rename the images on export to "untitled 101, 102 etc. The projector will not recognize the sequence. It wants 001, 002etc. If I try to start 001 lightroom changes it to 1, 2 ... 10,11 etc. How can I export and rename starting with 001?

The projector may actually be processing a 3 digit number in numerical sequence. Have you tried your export/collection in order sequence starting with 101? Assuming you have fewer than 899 images you should be OK. (I had to fiddle with export sequence for a display frame which used the file date and time for sequence!)

Epson projector does not recognize mac pro.

Epson projector does not recognize mac pro. I have a new mac and it only shown the epson when I check mirror on monitors preferences. The former mac use to be recognized as soon as it was plugged. The epson projector works well connected to a tv receiver.
Any help, please?

Please checj if your epson compatible with your mac pro or not. or you can let me know your Epson Model no., so i can check that for you!!!

I just bought a new Epson projector, connected it to my Mac with a USB cable but can't get anything to display. Any suggestions?

I just bought a new Epson projector, connected it to my Mac with a USB port and can't get any display. Any suggestions?

USB is not a Video Interface. to use it with this projector, you must have downloaded and be running:
Macintosh
USB Display v1.50
Mac OS X (v10.7 - v10.7.x), Mac OS X (v10.6), Mac OS X (v10.5)
epson14423.dmg - 2.9MB - posted on 10/24/11
This file contains the Epson USB Display v1.50. This software, along with a USB cable, allows you to display images from your computer to your projector.
Installation instructions:
Double-clicking this file creates a disk image on your desktop.
Open the disk image.
Double-click the installer icon to begin the installation.

I think it may be superior to get a VGA or HDMI adapter and use the display features built into your Macintosh.

MacBook Pro connect to Epson projector

I have tried everything to no avail. Trying to connect my MacBook Pro OS X 10.7.5 to an Epson ceiling mounted projector. I am using a wall mounted HDMI cable connected directly to my MBP. I get no communication to the projector. I tried going to System Preferences and to images and applications but nothing shows up only various resolution settings. Is the resolution setting an issue? I am really frustrated since it seems to work fine with other projectors (not ceiling mounted).

Exactly the same way you would connect it to an older MBP with a mini-Displayport. The Thunderbolt port is, for your purposes, the same thing, and the same adapters work with it.

Connecting Macbook Air 2011 to Epson projector for Keynote

Hi,
I'm trying to connect my Macbook Air 2011 to a brand new Epson (Powerlite 1760W) projector for Keynote presentations.
I bought the recommended Monoprice mini cable from the Apple store but I can only plug it into my MBA (small squarish socket), the other end dosen't connect to the projector. It seems the projector wants a VGA cable into it.
I'm lost. Do I still need the UBS cable between the two? Do I need a USB / VGA cable instead?
Thanks in advance.

Alison,
In looking at the technical specifications (on Epson's site) for this device it would appear that you can make HDMI work - http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/jsp/Product.do?sku=V11H361120&BV_UseBVCookie= yes
That being said, the HDMI end on the adapter and on the projector are most likely female. So you'll need an HDMI cable (the length will vary on how far the machine is away from the projector) but I suspect a 3 or 6 footer would work just fine. The cable is a male-to-male.
