My internal display on my MBP is having issues and occasionally displays white lines all over the screen. The current external monitor displays properly. Is there a way to use two extrernal monitors intead of one external + the internal display?

Hi Mike, this isn't the first such problem report I've seen, perhaps another option...

  • Dual External Monitors with 15" MacBook Pro (Late 2011)

    I'm looking for suggestions for using dual external monitors with new MacBook Pro's.  The company I work for has started to puchase these for certain employees and we are looking for any good suggestions.
    It appears that the display/thunderbolt port should be able to support many devices but I have not seen any way to hook up multiple displays.  The idea is that these employees would be working with the macbook pro screen closed while in the office and use dual displays.  The only option that I can find is to use a usb device to output video to a second display.  I don't really like that because my experience with these devices is that they usally present a display lag and I know our graphic designers would never go for that.
    One employee suggested that he use the VGA adapter and then get a VGA splitter.  I'm not exacty certain that would work though. Wouldn't that just mirror the display on two screens instead of allowing an extended desktop?  Also it looks like expensive Apple displays have ports so that you can daisy chain thunderbolt devices out of those monitors but this company will not go for the cost of those displays.
    Am I missing anything?  Any suggestions would be helpful.
    Thanks!

    Look into the Matrox Dualhead2Go DP Edition. If it works with Thunderbolt Macs, it will support two identical 1920 x 1080 DVI monitors as one extended desktop. Verify with Matrox that it is Thunderbolt-compatible and will suit your purposes before ordering.

  • Is there a way to sync contacts iPhone with my macbook pro

    Is there a way to sync contacts iPhone with my macbook pro

    Yes.
    1) With iTunes and an USB cable.
    2) Using MobileMe over the air. (I think it's replaced by iCloud soon [5th Oct.])
    I would just wait and create an iCloud account when it's released.

  • Can I use 4K monitor with my MacBook Pro Non-retina?

    I am considering to use 4k monitor for my MacBook. I have mid-2012 15" MacBook Pro. But I'm afraid that it will not perform as good as standard hd monitor. I'm wondering if any of you have tried using 4k monitor for your MacBook. Thank you.

    Won't work - at least not with 4K resolution.
    Supposedly, the late 2013 retina machines with the NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M with 2GB GDDR5 memory will run 4K resolutions - but only in Windows 8, NOT in any version of OS X, yet.
    So you'll just have to buy a new Mac Pro or wait until Apple comes out with an OS that supports running 4K on a new MacBook Pro Retina and buy that.
    Sorry,
    Clinton

  • Use an external monitor with my MacBook Pro

    I have my MacBook Pro (13" Spring 2010) and I would like to extend my desktop over to my Gateway FH2300 however Lion is giving me some issues.
    For one after I make my external monitor my primary monitor in the appearnce tab in Settings some apps appear on my MacBook Pro but I can't drag it over to my other dektop because my mouse cursor is confined to that monitor. In Windows 7 my 2 monitors work flaulsly and I can easily drag and work with apps in between both windows.
    What can I do to fix this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Remember that your monitors probably aren't the same size.  Look at the placement in System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement tab.  Your mouse will only move over the section that overlaps.  Places like the bottom of this sample it won't.

  • Using a European (German) external monitor with American MacBook Pro

    I'll be living abroad (Germany) for about a year and am bringing over my new 17-inch i7 Macbook Pro. I also use a Dell 2408 monitor, but am debating on leaving it in the US and purchasing a new one in Germany. My questions is: will a new Dell U2410 bought in Germany work with my new Macbook Pro bought in America?
    Link to monitor in question: http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00361G9VO/ref=s9simh_gw_p23_i1?pf_rd_m=A3JWKAKR8XB7XF&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=1EVWDRDT1AKHCQPWB CWG&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=463375173&pf_rdi=301128
    MacBook Pro is a brand new 17-inch model with a NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M with 512MB graphics card.
    My instincts say yes, but I'd like a confirmation before I leave my monitor behind.

  • HT3131 Will running the Macbook Pro 2011 in clamshell mode affect heat dissipation at all?

    I'm worried about the heat not being able to escape when the laptop is closed.

    I have used my new mid-2012 MBP in clamshell mode and monitored the temperatures and they were no different than when the lid was open, so it appears that the cooling system is unaffected. Very little heat dissipates upwards through the keyboard/upper case anyway, the heat is directed through the rear and underside of the case.

  • How can I get my screen to show on an external monitor with a Macbook Pro that has no lid?

    I recently purchased a Macbook Pro online that has no lid (no screen, no top to fold down, the whole shebang). I've been shown pictures of the laptop working to an external by the seller so for now let's assume that the port does work.
    Details:
    -Mid/Late 2007 15" model
    -DVI connection to monitor
    -Start-up chime does sound

  • How do I use two external monitors with my MacBook Pro?

    I have a 21" monitor and a 20" TV capable of VGA connection, and my MacBooks model is 5,4 (late 2009), so it only has one mini display port. I have a VGA to mini display connector and use it lots. I work on multiple projects at once, and I'd like to be able to use three screens at once... any suggestions?

    Just buy the proper adapter cord, such as MiniDisplay port to HDMI for example.  Plug it in and it will be automatically recognized.  Use System Preferences > Displays to set options.
    The display can Mirror your primary desktop or Extend the Desktop.

  • How do I add external monitors to my MacBook Pro?

    What is the best way to use two external monitors with my MacBook Pro (17-inch, Mid 2010) with minimal latency?

    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.

  • External monitor options For Macbook Pro(2011)

    Just curious as to what my monitor options are as a external monitor for the Macbook Pro.  I'm pretty much set on 27'' thunderbolt display but its a hefty price to swallow...
    Best buy has some good deals on there 27'' monitor but can i get the same resolution and clarity from other brands that will be eqivalent to Apple?
    I'd like to stay in the 27'' to 30'' size...
    thanks

    Any other options like Samsung, LG etc... that offer the same specs as the thunderbolt display? 
    Thanks

  • Is there a way to use PM4.0 with Windows XPH?

    Is there a way to use PM4.0 with Windows XPH without purchasing the latest suite or upgrades?  I origionally purchased a suite with Pagemaker, Photostyler and Freehand just before Aldus went Adobe, and Win3.1 went Win95, then WinME and WinXP.  I miss PM and have several manyscripts saved on PM4.0 and can not export or import them to any current wordprocessing programs.  I was very far into one manuscript and am now in a position to finish it up but don't want to have to purchase a whole suite in order to do so.  Any suggestions for this old tightwad?  [email protected]

    Shouldn't that be Win3.0  c.1991?  And with a very early of version ATM (Ver 2?)  if you want to do anything with fonts?
    I think I have a WinME PC in the garage, which if you can re-format with DOS 5 and install Win3 instead (I may have the disks in the garage too), PM4 will positively scream along.
    I reckon it's non starter on a modern WinXP PC, as the OS is so different, but if you're willing to experiment, you never know!
    But if you want to open some old files to extract the text, you can open the PM4 files and save them with a d/l'ed trial copy of PM7, which will be OK on WinXP

  • Is there any way to use flash without all the bloated code?

    I  want to put a flash player on my site, however with dreamweaver the  "insert movie" option puts a ton code in my markup to the point where i  cant even tell what im looking at. Is there any way to use flash without  all the bloat?

    Yes and no.  Some bloat as you call it is necessary to support all browsers.  That said, this on-line tool takes your Flash code and converts it to valid XHTML Strict standards.  In the process, the code is minimized a bit.  Be sure to test in an XHTML Strict doc type page.

    Hi Naval,
    Ofcourse you can use business objects in your programms/ methods.
    You can use function modules or macros (available from include <cntn01>) for using business objects in your application.
