How di I connect my MacBookPro to my new Dell U2412M 24" monitor?

If your MacBook Pro has a Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt port, use a Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable.  If not, use a DVI cable.

    How do I connect my MacBookPro to my external amp/speakers.
    There's is no choice in sys pref to choose LINE OUT, only INTERNAL SPEAKERS.

    The headphone jack is your combo headphone/line out. You use a mini plug on the MBP end and, depending on your external amp/speakers, either a mini jack or a pair of RCA jacks.
    PS. Your OS X level can't be 10.3.7 ... MacBook Pro's were first delivered with OS X Tiger 10.4.

  • Can't connect Macbook Pro Retina to Dell P2715q 4k Monitor

    I received a new Dell 4k P2715q monitor on Friday.  It came with a mini DP to DP cable which I immediately hooked into the Thunderbolt port on my 15-inch, Mid 2012 Macbook Pro Retina.  It worked beautifully on Friday all through the day.  Was very happy with my purchase.
    Took the laptop home over the weekend and brought it back today.... plugged into my thunderbolt port again and nothing.... Go HDMI to the monitor's HDMI and it works but only up to 1080p in 30hz which is no good.  So the monitor still seems to be working but the Macbook won't recognize the monitor through the Thunderbolt (mini DP) port.
    Any thoughts?  Talked to Dell support which was worthless except to verify that the monitor didn't get fried over the weekend and also talked to Apple who suspected that it was maybe the mini DP cord that Dell sent with the monitor.  I can't believe that a cable went faulty over a weekend when no one else was in my office.....
    Thoughts?  Thanks ahead of time!

  • Connect Sun Ultra2 to a Dell 19" LCD Monitor

    Hi
    Can you connect Sun Ultra2 to a Dell LCD Monitor 19" using a Sun Graphics adaptor HD15F
    Thanks,
    -Will

    The answer is probably "No".
    An Ultra-2 only has SBUS and UPA slots (no PCI slots), and few of the qualified graphics boards had HD15 connectors. There was no integrated graphics. All system administration could be done via command-line through its serial port.
    The default screen output of a Sun system is 1152x900 at a vertical refresh rate of 66Hz. The best you are likely to see on that PeeCee flat panel screen is a scrambled "something" that may eventually make your eyes hurt.
    When you say "Sun Graphics adaptor HD15F" are you are simply stating there seems to be a familiar graphics shape on the system or are you asking about some sort of adapter cable? That doesn't tell us the actual card that is in the system.
    Keep in mind that you are asking about hardware that is probably 15 years old.
    It may have been cutting edge back then, but it has been very much passed since that time.
    For a more precise answer, you will need to open the computer, remove the graphics board, and copy the part number from its barcode paper sticker. We would need the first seven digit (something such as 501-4790xxxx ).
    You could have posted this hardware question to the [Hardware Forum|http://forums.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=828] you know, or even just search that forum for whatever you might need. This topic has been discussed over there many times in the past five or six years.

  • How do I connect my mac book pro to a second monitor

    I have a macbook pro and want to connect it to a 2nd monitor.  How can I do that?

    If your MB has a female DVI connector built in, and your monitor has a male dvi plug, you connect the monitor and turn it on.
    DVI male connector:
    If the MBP does not have a dvi connector, what it has is called a mini dvi. You need an adapter. This is available from the Apple store.
    If you are not sure what you have, tell us the Model Identifier for your MBP.
    (Apple menu / About This Mac / More Info / Hardware overview includes that info.

  • Connection between Macbook Air and Dell 24" u2142m monitor?

    I have a Macbook air recently purchased and have connected it through the thunderbolt port via DVI adapter to a Dell Monitor. The display appears but no icons or content. What do I need to do. The screen came with a CD with drivers and user guide but I think this may be for Windows and I don't have a cd drive. Suggestions please?
    Thanks.

    so you see an actual desktop wallpaper on the monitor? if so, just drag windows over there and open displays in system preferences to make sure the arrangement is correct
    if no image at all, i would actually connect the monitor with a mDP to DP cable much better than using a dvi adapter, you can find them online like monoprice

  • Why do purple lines appear when I connect my macbook to my Dell U2412M moniter?

    So I got my Thunderbolt to HDMI cable today and I tried plugging it in. The display comes up clear and then slowly degrades with more and more horizontal purple lines. I've never seen anything like it. The display is basically useless within 30 seconds. I tried rebooting my Macbook, restarted my monitor, I tried the adapter with a couple of other monitors and TVs and it worked fine. I tried my monitor with another macbook and my xbox but the HDMI worked. I have no idea what to do anymore.

    Hi Jake,
    It's impossible to know without troubleshooting, but it sure sounds like a bad adapter or cable.

  • How do I connect two monitors to my macbook pro?

    How do I connect two monitors to my macbook pro?  This question applies to both DVI and VGA, as I might have to work with multiple sets of monitors.

    The MacBookPro only has enough horsepower in the video card for one external monitor.
    If you want two or more, you need a MacPro.
    Or a MacBook Pro and a Remote Desktop controlled MacMini.

    3) Audio Input (Left & Right)
    4) Audio In jack (for VGA and DVI source)
    5) DVI input
    6) VGA input

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    The Apple TV doesn't officially support a DVI connection, however you may be able to get it to work. You will first need to check that your TV supports either 720p or 1080p as well as HDCP. If you are able to get the video working over the DVI connection, you may also require a DAC in order to connect with Apple TV's optical audio output to the TVs audio imput.
    You may well wish to make sure that the DVI connection works before spending any money on a DAC..

  • How do I connect both a Mac and PC to Apple TV Home Sharing?

    Goal
    - I am trying to share both my PC and Mac through my Apple TV2 on the "Computers" home sharing menu.
    - These are 2 seperate iTunes accounts as they are 2 different owners of the PC and Macbook.
    - However, home sharing only allows me to have one at a time, can I not have 2 computers connected?
      (The menu is in fact plural and says "Computers" not "Computer")
    Attempt
    -I turn on home sharing on my PC with my PC iTunes account, it then shows up on the "Computers" list as PC
    -I turn on home sharing on my Mac with my Mac iTunes account, it then shows up on the "Computers" list as Mac, but it deletes the PC share
    Troubleshoot
    -So I started from scatch and connected the PC share with my PC itunes account, it shows up,
    -Then I connect the Mac home sharing with the same iTunes login as my PC, but it also erases my PC from the "Computers" list and just displays the Mac.
    Question
    -How do I connect both a Mac and PC to Apple TV Home Sharing?
    -I want them both to show up in the "Computers" list.
    -So the final result will look like this on my Apple TV menu:
    Computers
    -PC
    -Mac
    whew... I'm out of breath... I hope there is an Apple Genius out there that can help.
    Thanks!

    After retrying the home share with the SAME ITUNES ACCOUNT ON HOME SHARING I finally got it to work.

  • How do I connect an existing Behance account to a new Adobe ID account ?

    Hello,
    I am an existing Behance account holder.
    I recently started a new job, where they give me access to a personal Macbook & Adobe cc account.
    I want to link my existing Behance profile to my new Adobe CC account.
    Is this even possible - If so how to I connect them ?
    It would not be beneficial to create a new Behance profile.
    Thanks,

    Hello - absolutely! You just need to make sure that your Behance account is linked with that Adobe ID. Please login to your Behance account, then visit this link and choose "use a different Adobe ID" and enter your new Adobe ID with the CC account. From then on, you'll use that email address to login to Behance:Behance
