How do I set up external monitor for iPad

I purchase an Apple vga adapter to connect my ipad2 to an external monitor.  When I try to use it the video dispalys, 'no signal'
Any suggestions?

Have you tried restarting the iPad? (Hold down the power button until you get the red "slide to power off", do so, and then press the power button again to start the iPad back up. ) That often fixes the problem.
Hope this helps.

  • How do I use my late 2011 iMac ( with thunderbolt) as external monitor for laptop/Xbox or other device with hdmi as output.

    May be this question has been asked thousand times. how do I use my mid 2011 iMac ( with thunderbolt) as external monitor for laptop/Xbox or other device with hdmi as output. if apple hasn't removed that feature and has just moved that functinoality to thunderbolt then how can I use it. currently there is no laptop available with thunderbolt output. no 3rd party converter available. whats the use of having feature on latest functionality if we cant use it. I wish they would have made one port has mini-dvi and other thunderbolt for backward compatibility untill some vendor comes up with converter.

    It Says :
    Mac (21.5-inch, Mid 2011) and iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011) and later computers support Target Display Mode via Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt cable (2 m) when the source is another Thunderbolt-equipped computer.
    Name one computer model/vendor which has thunderbolt as output for display + audio. this is so stupid to move to new technology without availbility of its compatible devices.

    How do I set up multiple monitors?

    Hi wdl1001,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You can connect an external display to the Thunderbolt port (or Mini Displayport, on older models) of your Mac. This article has some information to help you identify the display port on your Mac:
    Mac Basics: Ports and connectors
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2494
    You may need to use an adapter to connect your display to your Mac. This article has more information about Apple video adapters:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3235
    Once your display is connected to your Mac, you can configure it using the Displays section of System Preferences. See this article for more information:

  • Best external monitor for macbook pro 15" to use for Aperture3

    Hi, I have a macbook pro 15" running on Mountain Lion. I would like to buy an exernal monitor to work on Aperture 3. After reading on the net I am still quite confused as what is the best product to fit a good compromise for quality/price/compatibility
    My budged is under 600€, so size should not exede 24".
    Dell U2413 gets good and bad advise, not sure how it would work with Apple either. Most people talking about it are not on Apple products.
    Any of you out there can offer some personal experience on the matter?
    Thank you for your time

    Be very careful what you buy, and if at all possible test it with the computer before you buy it. A few times. These things just stop detecting external monitors for no reason sometimes, as well as just refusing to ever detect certain monitors.
    Maybe someone here has a set-up that's working for them, that's your safest option.

  • External monitor for FCP

    I am looking into purchasing an external monitor for my iMac. The primary use would be to monitor the output of what I am editing in FCP, rather than have it be a secondary monitor (for dual screen editing). Currently my setup is an old 13" tv connected through a canopus converter, but I would like to purchase a flat screen and I am trying to figure out if I need to buy a flatscreen TV or just a flatscreen computer monitor. Hopefully this makes some sense--let me know if I can get away with the monitor instead of a tv!!

    Kim -
    What does the canopus converter offer for outs? Composite? Component? HDMI?
    You are on the right track. How important is it for you to have the BEST, most 'true' picture to view?
    I'm gonna hang out a few people here...
    Some folks insist on running their audio thru crappy speakers just so they can make sure the audio sounds good on run of the mill TVs -- YET insist on having only the finest high quality broadcast adjustable with isolatable blue gun fancy production monitor to CC their media.
    I say hogwash! (kinda)
    Yes, you want a production monitor (for a number of reasons) to best set your broadcast luma/chroma. But are you broadcasting? Don't get something fancy if all you have coming out of the canopus is composite... I'd worry about getting the finest product with what you have first. Then worry about a new mac with a professional video card with a professional product with a professional monitor (audio AND video) setup.
    Help?

  • Imac as external monitor for windows Notebook

    Hi,
    I want to switch from my Windows Pc to a mac for private use.
    I prefer the new iMac (2011) 21,5" but I could not get an definite answer (not even in my local apple store) if it is possible to connect an existing Notebook (with VGA Mini-d-sub or DVI connector) to the new iMac in order to use the iMac as an external monitor for the Notebook.
    I definitely need this for my business work in my home-office so this information is vital.
    If ist is not possible I have to take the macMini and stay with my standard monitor.
    Can please someone tell me if it is possible at all and if so, how it can be done.
    I searched the internet and only found out that it was possible with the older 27" model but no information for the 2011 21,5" so please help!
    Thank you in advance for your Support.

    Hi,
    Sorry to say, but ...
    The 2011 iMacs (21.5" and 27") can only be used as a second display via a Thunderbolt-to-Thunderbolt cable.
    The 2009 and 2010 27" iMacs can be used as a second display via a DisplayPort connection.

  • External Monitor for Macbook Pro (Use for Audio)

    Hey
    Well I have a Macbook Pro and am looking to get an extra monitor because I am an Audio Production major and need the space.
    I'm looking for about 20-22 inch range and maybe one that swivels so it is horizontal or vertical.
    Please let me know what you think.
    Thanks

  • External Monitor for MacBook Pro 13"

    Hello, I know there has been a number of threads on this topic, but I haven't found my answer yet.
    I am looking for a third party external monitor for my 13" MacBook Pro. I read a lot of text on my computer so it is important that the text is sharp. I have tried a couple Samsung monitors so far and the text is far from sharp and in fact it is outright hard on the eyes.
    Currently, I am using a 23" Samsung SyncMaster SA550 with a HDMI/MiniDisplay 6" cable, I am using it as the primary display with my laptop closed and the resolution is set to 1080p. It's almost as though the video card is not powerful enough to drive this monitor - is that possible?
    I have two questions:
    1) Is there anything I can do to get this monitor to display clearer text?
    2) Can anyone recommend a monitor that would display clearer text?
    Thanks! Any info would be appreciated!

    The only reason I thought of suggesting 1920x1080 was becaue I looked up the specs on your 23" Samsung SyncMaster SA550 and see it only has vga and hdmi input.  I suspect that because it's hdmi input the EDID info tells Displays to add 1080i and 1080p to the resolutions and suppresses the 1920x1080.  It's why I wasn't sure it would be there in the first place.
    So have you tried 1080i just to see what kind of results you get?  And to cover all possibilities have you tried using the VGA connection?
    It may just be that what you see on this particular monitor is as good as it gets.

  • External monitor for MacBook 4,1

    Hello all,
    I am wanting to run an external monitor for my old 2008 MacBook 4,1 13"
    I understand that I can run a 1920 x 1080 monitor via my machine.
    However, I don't know the upper size of monitor that goes to.
    I have plugged it into a 40" screen, and the image was not sharp.
    I plugged it into a 23" screen, and the image was sharp.
    I am wanting to know the largest screen I can run, and still have a sharp image
    Thank you for all time, and Merry Christmas everyone.
    Sincerely, Xiao Ping Guo

    The inch dimensions of the screen don't matter. The pixel dimensions, 1920 x 1080, can be sharp enough depending on the viewing distance. What matters is if the number of pixels and screen size are properly coordinated with the viewing distance.
    On a 23" diagonal screen, 1920 x 1080 is about 96 ppi. On a 40" screen, 1920 x 1080 is about 48 ppi, or about half the resolution. The 40 inch screen should look half as sharp as the 23 inch screen, because the same number of pixels (1920 x 1080) is being spread over twice the area.
    If the 23 inch is a desktop monitor, it is meant to be viewed at about desk distance, or about 2 feet. If the 40 inch is a TV, it is meant to be viewed at sofa distance, or about 10-12 feet. If you are viewing a 40-inch TV only a couple feet away, it will seem unsharp because it is not intended to be seen so close. At a normal TV viewing distance, 1920 x 1080 at 10 feet should look sharp enough.
    If you want the 40 inch to be as sharp as the 23 inch than the 40 inch must display more pixels. That's why 4K screens are becoming popular. But the MacBook is at its limit already.
    The reason I originally said the inch dimensions don't matter is that a screen of any screen will look sharp at its intended distance. Your MacBook could drive a 100-foot screen at a stadium at 1920 x 1080 pixels and it would look sharp enough, from the seats. If you're 2 feet from that stadium screen every dot will look coarse and huge, but that's not how close you're supposed to view it.

  • Hp dv6 1355dx laptop - how do I connect 2 external monitors?

    I have a HP dv6 1355dx laptop Entertainment PC.  How do I connect 2 external monitors (both have VGA cables) and neither one has HDMI connectors.  My laptop has only 1 VGA connector, so I can display my laptop video and 1 of the external monitors. 
    Any help would get greatly appreciated.  I am even willing to buy a docking station or port replicator.

    Hi,
    Docking station or port replicator won't solve the problem because of your internal graphics card. You need something which is similar to the following products:
        http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/products/gxm/
    or USB to 2 VGA monitors but very hard to find (normally you can only get 1 VGA and 1 other, not both VGA's).
    Regards.

  • How can I make an external monitor the main display?

    I have a mid 2007 iMac running OS X 10.4. The internal monitor is broken and all it shows is a bunch of lines.
    I have connected an external Samsung monitor. All I see in it is a desktop background: no icons, no menus, no dock. I believe this is because the display is in extended mode and the main display is the internal monitor. I cannot use the System Preferences Panel to change this, because the internal monitor is useless.
    I have a second, newer iMac, from which I can login to the first via ssh.
    Is there a way to make the external monitor the main display from the command line?
    (I have though of editing the Preferences List, but I do not know what to change and how to change it. I do have Developers Tool installed and thus can access the Preferences List Editor.)
    Thanks in advance!!!

    Hi everybody!
    To solve the problem I wrote a script that creates a Systems Preferences windows which shows up in the external monitor. Once this happens the configuration can be changed manually, to make the external monitor the main display. This is what I did:
    First I created a user with automatic login in the faulty machine. To do this:
    1.- Restarted this malfunctioning iMac in Firewire Target mode.
    2.- Rebooted the working iMac using the other machine as startup disk.
    3.- Created the user.
    4.- Restarted both machines normally
    Next I wrote a script which opens System Preferences and shifts its window to the left:
    5.- In the working machine I saved the script as a 'Run only' application:
    tell application "System Preferences"
    activate
    set x0 to 1080
    set y0 to 200
    set dx to 800
    set wx to 600
    set wy to 600
    set the bounds of the first window to {x0, y0, x0 + dx + wx, y0 + wy}
    end tell
    6.- Then uploaded it to the iMac with the faulty screen.
    7- Shut down both machines.
    Then I added the script application to the automatic login user in the faulty machine:
    8.- Restarted the malfunctioning iMac in Firewire Target mode.
    9.- Rebooted the working iMac using the other machine as startup disk.
    10.- In System Preferences added the script to login items.
    11.- Restarted both machines.
    The System Preferences window now showed in the external terminal. I was able to go into the Displays pane and set the external monitor as the main display (dragging the white bar to it).
    Cheers,
    Gustavo J. Mata
