How do i get dual monitors to work with bootcamp (windows 7)

i have a macbook pro intel core i7
using a VGA adapter for connection of the monitor
when i use the mac side the dual screens work perfectly, but when i use bootcamp with windows 7 the screen stays blank, i know it ver recognizes it because when i drag my mouse over to the right it goes out of the screen and then i have to drag for a while before its back on the mac screen, so it is being used but not being displayed. also when i first start up windows its shows the boot screen on the monitor aswel but then goes blank.

If you are talking about MS Windows then you need to launch either Boot Camp or run it in Virtualization app such as Parallels or VM Fusion. You also need a valid license of MS Windows.However if that is not what you mean then you must be much more specific. For example:
"I want to share some files between my PC running Windows 7 and my new iMac running 10.9.3, how do I go about that?"

Dual MOnitors stopped working with the Windows 8.1 upgrade valentines week 2015

The recent windows 8.1 upgrade during the week of 2/8/2015 broke the ability to duplicate screens on my Envy dv6 and a Hannspree LCD. There is no screen on the Hannspree while it does remain on the dv6. Switch to external screen only and the screen does display on the Hannspree. Switch to extend and the dv6 remained the primary screen, and the Hannspree can only show the screen saver.

Hi @MikeD48
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a fantastic place to find answers and suggestions!
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
Have you done all your Windows updates?
Have you ran the HP Support Assistant to aid with HP updates?
Have you ran the Windows troubleshooter?
Understanding multiple monitors from windows.microsoft.com may also help.
If the above has not helped I would do a Refresh Your PC to Resolve Problems (Windows 8) with the exteranl monitor disconnected.
This returns the notebook back to defaults.
HP & Windows 8.1 Update
Now without reconnecting the external monitor redo your Windows 8.1 update. The above link may assist you with that process.
Please be sure all updates are done before reattempting the update.
Now if you reconnect your external are you able to set it up correctly?
Good Luck!

Seeking a clear description of getting dual monitors to work

I've spent a long while researching the issue of getting dual monitors to work on a new mac mini - which I will be purchasing as soon as I figure this one out! But I am bamboozled by references to the various types of connections and ports. If anyone has the patience to explain this really simply and clearly, I'd be very grateful.
Interestingly, the Apple guy on the phone today told me it isn't possible - it's either/or for the display connections. But clearly it IS possible, because there is so much discussion about it here...
Here's where I confess my technical limitations, and say that I am confused about what I need (to purchase, presumably) to get my two existing monitors to work with the new mini.
They are presently connected to my PC (soon to be ceremonially consigned... etc) with cables which have regular D-sub connectors at each end. This means they are vga, right? There is no digital connector on either monitor.
So I am trying to figure out
a) is it possible to use these two monitors in a dual display setup with a mac mini? If so:
b) How?! And then;
c) what leads and/or connectors do I need to buy in order to connect them up?
Thanks for being here, I hope for some patient guidance.
Jeff

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
An '09 Mac mini has two video out pots on the rear; a mini-DVI port and a mini-DisplayPort. The Mac mini comes with a mini-DVI to DVI-D adapter. If you use what came in the box with the mini, you need a DVI-D to VGA cable to connect one of your monitors. Otherwise you need a mini-DVI to VGA adapter and a VGA to VGA cable for one monitor. For the other monitor you need a mini-DisplayPort to VGA adapter and a VGA to VGA cable.

How can I get Activity Monitor to work?

I've searched the discussions to no avail, so I have this question: how can I get Activity Monitor to work? It launches and its window opens but then the spinning beachball appears. I've checked the Console and it shows that the Activity Monitor is attempting to fully launch but then it "exits" and then it tries to fully start up again, goes into an infinite loop or something. Issued a "force quit" succesfully. I've deleted the Activity Monitor's .plist, no joy. What to do? Thanks!
I'm running 10.6.8 on a MacBook Pro (late 2011)

I wish I could be more positive but I have no experience of MacBook Pros and whether their demands on the system differ from my simple iMac. If you have the time to scour through 'More like this' ( to the right of your initial post) and the links within it, you may find leads.
I also found this thread via Google which in parts seems to echo your troubles. I hope it helps; thank you for the star.

I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the Component and Audio ports on my TV?

I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the MacBook Pro and connected to the TVs Component and Audio in ports.

Will not work. To my knowledge, dual converting like that isn't supported. The Mac must detect the connected video output device and that sort of info cannot be done across an analog component uni-directional connection.

Are you using the earbuds that came with the iPhone? If you are using other earphones, it's possible that they need an adaptor to work with the iPhone's recessed headphone jack.

How do I get Front Row to work with Lion?

Hello fellow Mac users,
How do I get Front Row to work with Lion? I have an iMac 27 inch computer and is the sole entertainment provider for my bedroom. I refuse to put a TV in my room and wanted to know how to get Front Row to work again on my mac? It seems that the upgrade to Lion erased the app.
I have quite a few movies and series that I bought off iTunes and is a shame that I can't use a media center app like Front Row on Lion.

I kind of have the opposite problem. I need to know how to turn off my remote on the computer. I am using the remote for my Apple TV and it keeps making the volume on my Computer go up and down (with annoying sounds).
There used to be a way to un-sync the remote with the comp but I cannot remember how and the Apple help is not much help! I have Lion.
Thanks!
Best,
Tony

How do I get my AppleID to work with iCloud?

How do I get my AppleID to work with iCloud? It says that I have a valid ID, but that I can't use it with iCloud...
How do I fix this?
Thanks!!

Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

How do i get my sim to work with this phone?

I just bought a used iphone, when i put my sim card in, it says it is lock. I have done this before and been able to use instantly, but this time it wont come on. HOw do i get my sim to work with this phone?

If your iPhone was unlocked and has relocked after an update to iOS, then the iPhone was hacked to unlock it and has now been locked back to the original carrier. You'll need to contact the carrier to whom the iPhone is locked and request unlocking. They may refuse to do so since you're not the person with whom they had the contract.

How can I get my ipod to work with itunes?

When I connect my ipod classic into my new computer it seems that itunes does not recognize it. How can I get my ipod to work with itunes? I'm afraid to disconnect my ipod because the display is saying Do Not Disconnect.

1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

How can I get elements 11 to work with 16 bits photos?

In the expert mode of Photoshop Elements 11, I can only work with 8 bits photos. How can I get Elements 11 to work with 16 bits photos?

No, you can still buy photoshop cs6 (perpetual license) if one doesn't want to subscribe to the cloud version (photoshop cc version 14)
Either way is expensive compared to photoshop elements.

How can I get Phillips Fidelio to work with ios7. It worked with the previous operating system

Not sure if this is the same problem others are having, but I used to play music on my Philips Fidelio by opening the Music app on my ipad and clicking on the box with the triangle (which has now disappeared in the new OS). However, if you have the philips dockstudio app, the box still appears there and I was able to get my speakers working again.
