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.

How do you connect two Apple ID's?

How do you connect two Apple ID's to one another?

Yes. You can sync multipl iDevices on the same computer using the same Apple ID. You can each have different configurations of apps, books, music, etc. or have identical configurations. In this way, however, your common data - contacts, mail, calendar will be the same on both iDevices.
The Apple ID doesn't distinguish one phone from another, only how the phone will sync to a computer. The Apple ID is how iTunes knows to which computer a phone syncs. And, the Apple ID determines who is the registered owner of downloaded and purchased items via iTunes.

How do you connect two OSPF autonomous systems?

New member. Pls advise if this post does not belong here. Cheers.
You have two entirely separate OSPF systems. You wish to share routing
information between the two systems, but you don't want to join the
systems into one big OSPF system (you still want two area 0's).
Since OSPF does not use an AS number, as does EIGRP, how do you
redistribute routes between the two systems? Is it as simple as using
an ASBR and redistribute routes as you would any other non-OSPF routing
protocol? In that case, wouldn't configuring two interfaces of an ASBR
to join two different areas, of two different OSPF systems just screw
up the protocol and confuse it?
Thanx
Jim

This is simple, but not so simple. :-) On one of the two routers, run two OSPF processes. Then set the processes up so one runs on all the interfaces except the connecting the two routers, and set the other one up so it runs on the interface connecting the two routers. Redistribute between the two processes.
So, if you have this:
10.2.0.0/16--A--10.1.1.0/24--B--10.3.0.0/16
On A:
router ospf 1
network 10.2.0.0 0.0.255.255 area 0
redistribute ospf 1 (insert metric, type, etc)
router ospf 2
network 10.1.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
redistribute ospf 1 (insert metric, type, etc)
On B:
router ospf 1
network 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 area 0
I would strongly suggest you use route tags or filters (tags are preferrable) to prevent routing loops between the two ospf processes/domains.

How do you connect two 27" LED Cinema Displays together?

I currently have one screen connected to my MacBook Pro 2010. How do I connect the second screen if I only have one Thunderbolt port?

I Think they can be daisy chained.check your manual for more info to see if your Mac supports this

How Do You Connect Two Computers?

Real simple question. I'm certain it has a simple answer.
I have two Macs, both Intel Macs, both running Leopard. One is a MacBook Pro, the other is an office-based iMac. I would like to access the office machine with my book over the internet.
How do I do that?

It is a simple solution, but you need to do a lot of homework to decide whether it is an appropriate solution.
1) set up the target mac with a static internal IP.
2) set up your router to forward port 5900 to your Mac's internal IP address.
3) get a static external IP from your provider or sign up for a free DynDNS (or equivalent) account
or, if your IP address doesn't change often, just deal with the occasional 'outage' due to not knowing the current IP address.
4) Turn on Screen Sharing on the target Mac
5) Connect to Server... vnc://business.external.IP.address
Is someone going to hunt down your computer and try to hack into it? I don't know. But, if it is a business, I would think it is a more lucrative target, and there are also a lot more privacy concerns that you need to consider.
While you are looking into things, setting up a Virtual Private Network (VPN) may be an option.
Another consideration is the type of service you have purchased from your internet provider. Unless you are paying for the service, running any type of server over that IP address may violate the terms of service. I haven't looked into whether connecting back to your computer is a violation of the 'no server' rules. Generally, they are concerned about the bandwidth of a Web Server or an FTP server.

How do you connect two line segments in illustrator cs6?

I have been using adobe cs5 for a few years. If I wanted to connect the corners of two line segments, you would select the first line segment with the select tool, then switch to the direct selection tool, and drag the anchor point to the other line segment anchor point till the cursor arrow went white (signifying the other anchor point being recognized). Then you would choose "join" and it would give a nice right angle connecting the two line segments.
With adobe cs6, the direct selection tool doesn't change to white when you go over the other line segment anchor point. Why is this?
(Unfortunately my screen capture doesn't show the black arrowhead that you see when you are dragging with the direct selection tool to the other line segment.)
I have also attached a youtube video link that shows what how this recognition of anchor points looks in adobe illustrator cs5, and this was exactly what I used to do when I was performing the task shown in my screen capture but with adobe illustrator cs5. Thanks and sorry for the essay!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InwcicWQHL0
Anybody have any idea how to remedy the lack of anchor point recognition?

You are welcome, zinders.
Just a comment: you seem to use Butt Cap, so you can really see when line segments are not joined.

How do I connect two monitors to thunderbolt port on MBP 13

The apple rep told me it can be done without Matrox using the dual DVI link, but other people on the web say no. I'm trying to figure out for sure. I want to connect my two non-apple 24" displays.

I thought that was the only was with an apple thunderbolt display, however the Apple rep who was in a Best Buy store told me he had seen the 13" connected to two non-apple displays. If it can be done, I think it's going to be a little weird. Maybe I'll just put one display on the thunderbolt with a dvi connector and the other one on the usb port. As long as I'm not gaming, it should be okay to have a slight lag. Thoughts?

Did you try to hook up both monitors to the Belkin adaptor? Trying will determine if your monitor has a bad input port. See if the Belkin adaptor is the problem. I have never used that specific adaptor, but I have always had luck with the Dr. Bott's DVI for ADC adaptor. Best of luck.

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).

Normally, you just connect the monitor to the MacBook using a VGA adaptor that you can buy from an Apple Store. Now try System Preferences > Displays > Detect Displays. You should now be able to select a display mode for the monitor. If it still doesn't work, then I'd check that everything is properly connected. I've had problems with colours disappearing due to a faulty connection in the VGA adaptor.

Can I connect two monitors to a Mac Mini?

Can I connect two Monitors to a mac mini

Yes, but how depends on what model of Mini and what kind of monitors. Early models only had one monitor port. Later models had a Mini-DVI port and a Mini-Displayport. Current models have a Mini-Displayport and a HDMI port. The Mini-DVI and Mini-Displayport can attach VGA or DVI monitors, whereas the HDMI port can't use VGA monitors.
Beyond that, you can get Matrox's DualHead2Go or a USB->VGA or USB->DVI adapter. The Matrox product is a bit expensive and the USB adapters are a bit to slow for games and such. So, again, the answer is "yes", but with limitations

Problem Connecting Two Monitors

Just set up a new HP Mini 300-30 with two monitors. Monitor connection is through a device I bought that has HDMI cable connecting to back of HP Mini and two outlets on device to connect two monitors using VGA cables that came with each monitor. Monitors work but are set up with mirror image and I have not been able to find a way to make each monitor run indpendently. If I use keyboard and press Windows key + P it brings up a screen where I can select monitor options. I select the option to run separate monitors but nothing happens. I believe I have tried everything but the correct way.

Can i connect two monitors to my mac book pro with HDMI?

can i connect two monitors to my mac book pro with HDMI?

I retract my previous "No." If you can live with limited performance (slow refresh/choppy action video/no gaming) on the second external monitor, you could use a USB video adapter and a DVI-HDMI adapter to connect it to a USB port on your computer.

Just a note about the system information that appears below your post: iOS 4.3.3 does not run on Macs, only on iPods, iPads and iPhones. When you're posting about your MBP, it would be more useful to those responding to know which version of Mac OS X you're running. Doesn't matter for purposes of this post, but something to remember for future posts.

What is the best way to connect two monitors to MacBook Air?

I have a MacBook Air and I want to connect two monitors to it (not Thunderbolt Displays). I was thinking about using a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter to connect one monitor and a USB to DVI adapter to connect the other (such as Diamond BVU). But I have heard that this causes it to become slightly slow to respond on Mission Control and causes videos to lag. Is there anyway to connect two monitors without the lag? Or should I just use one monitor?

The MacBook Air only allows daisy chaining monitors via Thunderbolt with Apple's Thunderbolt displays so you'll need to go 3rd party with something like -
