I have a 15in MBP late 2013 w/ Mavericks installed.  At work, I was hoping to dock the MBP and connect to dual Dell P2414H monitors.

To do so I purchased (2) DisplayPort to HDMI cables and (1) Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter.  As for setup, I have one monitor directly connected to the HDMI port on the MBP and the other monitor connect to the Thunderbolt adapter. 
I am getting no signal whatsoever on either monitor.  I've ensured that each monitor is set to DisplayPort.  I can understand a signal issue existing between the monitor and the adapter, but I cannot understand the issue with the monitor connected directly to the MBP via the HDMI port.  I checked System Report > Hardware > Thunderbolt and my Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter shows, but port2 contains no connected device (this is where the Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter is plugged).  Does anyone know where I can check the status of the HDMI port?
I'm hoping that the issue isn't as blunt as the monitors not being compatible with the MBP.  I've used my previous MBP with another, older, Dell monitor via a Thunderbolt to VGA adapter with no issue whatsoever.  I've scoured the interwebs with the hopes of finding someone with a similar issue, but I've found nobody.

When the dock is defined as on the bottom, it will appear on the screen of the extended desktop that is lowest.
Move the second monitor where the bottom edges are equal or the Dell is lower and the dock will move there.
Regards,
Captfred

  • A solution that works for Windows 8.1 on MBP Late 2013

    Here is how I could successfully install Windows 8.1 on Mbp Late 2013 running Maverick:
    Follow precisely these steps and you will be done in 30 minutes:
    1/ Using BootCamp Assistant, create a USB stick and select all three options including Bootcamp updates, etc.
    2/ Set your partition size when asked.
    3/ IMPORTANT: When reboot, Hold the Option key and Boot again on Maverick (do not boot on the USB stick)
    4/ When back on Maverick, run Disk Utility, select Macintoch partition and choose Partition tab.
    5/ Select the BOOTCAMP newly created partition (the one at the bottom) and press minus to remove it.
    6/ Apply for changes. At this point, BOOTCAMP partition should be gone.
    7/ Press + to add a new partition that will likely be called Machintoch HD2 or so.
    8/ Rename it to BOOTCAMP
    9/ IMPORTANT: Change the partition type to ExFAT.
    10/ Apply again for changes.
    11/ Reboot your Mac and Press Option again. Select WINDOWS (Orange USB device)
    12/ Windows installation process should start and bring you to the partition selection.
    13/ Select the BOOTCAMP partition (the one at the bottom) and FORMAT it.
    14/ Press Next and get going through Windows 8.1 installation.
    15/ IMPORTANT: Each time a reboot occurs, press Option key and select WINDOWS Drive (NOT the ORANGE USB stick)
    16/ Finally, Windows 8.1 will get installed and will ask for BOOTCAMP drivers to get installed. Just follow the instructions.
    17/ You are done.
    P.

    Ohhhh, Silly, silly moi. Ok, got it. Now I see "Partition". Thanks! Will try again. Downloading Windows support software as I type.
    Thank you.
    One more thing - while attempting installation the first time (before I stumbled on this thread) - I looked up YouTube re how to create a USB bootable ISO (which included editing the info.plist file in Boot Camp Assistant).
    When I tried installing 8.1 from the ISO, the installation aborted saying "cannot find resources" (something like that) - this occured after the first stage, i.e. while "preparing files to install Windows".
    Assuming I get this again (I hope not!), is it because of a corrupted ISO?

  • Have Memory DDR3 instead of DDR3L, Mbp late 2013, 13" is this OK?

    Have Memory DDR3 instead of DDR3L, Mbp late 2013, 13" is this OK

    As long as all of the specifications are the same, there should be no problems. The DDR3L just stands for Low-Voltage. Pop it in and see if it boots up. Worst that can happen is it doesn't boot. Then you just pull it out and put the old RAM back in. It should work, though.

  • MBP late 2013 won't connect to TV with HDMI cable

    Yesterday I connected my MBP (late 2013) with a SCEPTRE TV using an HDMI cable and it worked perfectly.
    I wake up the next day and try to connect it again but the TV says "No Signal"
    I didn't touch the set up in any way so nothing changed physically.
    Please help

  • Yosemite slow on MBP late 2013, did several clean installs

    I've got a MBP late 2013 which I upgraded from Mavericks to OS Yosemite. When I did it, the impact was bad: all applications and OS is slow, to write an email or to  open simple files have to wait more than 30 secs. i have read all the topics here, have done clean install several times with time machine restore of only apps.
    Still MBP is slow, have done PRAM, MCC etc.
    how to solve this?

  • MBP late 2013 i7 2.3gHZ restart problems and major input lags

    Since I've updated my MBP i7 2.3 Ghz late 2013 to OSX Yosemite (10.10.1) I can't restart the macbook with my promise harddrive and apple cinema display still connected via thunderbolt. When I restart it keeps hanging on the grey screen without the apple logo. When I unplug the thunderbolt and usb cable, hold down the power button and turn it back it everything is fine. Just the restart won't work.. Any ideas?
    Further more, I receive major input lags in different programs. For example I use Final Cut Pro (10.1.3) a lot for my job. I use managed media library all stored on the promise harddrive via thunderbolt. The footage I use is raw of the SD card from a Nikon D800 (h2.64 mov), of course i let everything import first before editing. Though I get major input lags (0,5-1,5 sec) when pressing the spacebar to play for example. Ive used this workflow exactly the same on my previous MBP (17" late 2011 I think) without any lags.
    Specs of my MBP:
    MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)
    Processor 2,3 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB
    Storage 512 GB SSD
    Hope anyone can help me.

    Your original configuration is an HDD. Have you considered replacing it with an SSD. It helps quite a bit.
    The current 2013 (and now the 2014) MBPs are excellent machines, and can run Bootcamp via native EFI (Win 8/8.1 - Win7 has some driver challenges), rather than the CSM-BIOS layer and you will get very good performance. I would recommend a 16GB MBP. If you do a lot of external display work, dual GPUs may work better for you.
    I use the TB-to-FW for accessing external disks, not sound cards, but the storage works fine. This machine can support 8GB RAM, which may also be worth considering.

    I have an imac bought late 2013, can i use it as a display for the new mac pro? I also want to use windows 8 on it, would this work with parallels or bootcamp?

    Yes, it supports target display mode. Windows can be run with either Parallels or Boot Camp.

    I have an imac bought late 2013, can i use it as a display for the new mac pro running windows 8 through bootcamp?

    No. Target Display mode is only supported when connected to a Mac running 10.6 or later.
    It cannot be used with a PC, bootcamp, gamaing console, cable box, DVR or PowerPC Mac.

  • I have just purchased the latest macbook pro 13 retina (late 2013). I want to connect to a Dell U2713H Monitor. As the  new macbook doesn't have a cd slot, I am unable to install the monitor drivers etc. Where can I download the drivers?

    Thanks for your prompt reply. I'm not sure how to connect to the monitor as the only ports available on this model mac are Thunderbolt. The mini display to display cable supplied doesn't seem to work out of the TB port. Do I need to use a Thunderbolt cable + an adaptor?

  • MBP late 2013 and TP-Link Archer C7 at 5Ghz

    My MBP late 2013 is unable to establish a stable connection with TP-Link Archer C7 AC 1750 at 5Ghz. The connection is working fine for some time and drop to nothing after that. The only way to restor it, is to reboot the router. At same time the Apple TV is working okay at 5Ghz and there are no problems.

    try OpenWRT.
    I'm ordering the same router and am planning to run it with OpenWRT. Depending on the hardware revision of the router, openwrt will (or will not) run.
    Hope my router will arive this week and will be able to share my success report.

  • Ipod nano 7th generation having issues with the UI. Out of box everything worked great. Once I snyc the device and it finished, the UI becomes unuesable. You have to double tap every icon in order to open music, videos, etc.  I cannot swipe to the second

    ipod nano 7th generation having issues with the UI. Out of box everything worked great. Once I snyc the device and it finished, the UI becomes unuesable. You have to double tap every icon in order to open music, videos, etc.  I cannot swipe to the second page of icons,  black box appears around an icon and then switches to a different one anytime I swipe. A box even appears around the time and battery power. iPod & iTunes are both updated. What is the FIX on this issue?

    I had this problem as well.  This is what I found by searching online.  I tried the fix on my nano 7th gen and it worked.  I hope this helps you.  Make sure to use two fingers for sliding and double-click the icons to get into settings.  Good luck.
    It would seem that Voiceover has been enabled on your iPod Nano. The following article contains information regarding Voiceover, and how to disable it once it's been enabled.
    iPod nano (6th generation and later): How to use VoiceOver
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4317
    To turn off VoiceOver on iPod nano using VoiceOver gestures
    From the Home Screen, swipe right or left with two fingers until you see or hear "Page 2 of 2" on iPod nano (7th generation) or "Settings" on iPod (6th generation).
    If the icons have been rearranged, or if there are more than four Home screens, you may hear something different.
    Slide one finger around the screen until you hear Settings. 
    Double-tap to open Settings. 
    Slide your finger up or down the screen until you see or hear General, then double- tap. 
    Slide your finger up or down the screen until you see or hear Accessibility, then double-tap. 
    Slide your finger up or down the screen until you see or hear VoiceOver, then double-tap. 
    Double-tap when you hear "VoiceOver switch button on." 
    You'll hear "VoiceOver off" to confirm the setting. Now you can use standard gestures to control iPod nano.
    Note: You can also turn off VoiceOver by resetting your iPod.

  • I tried to purchase music at iTunes with the iTunes card I was given. I was able to redeem the amount and it shows on my apple Id I have $25 but it does not pay my purchase it will still go to my credit card and bill it. It did not give an option.

    If you were instructed to call them, then that's what you should do. They will probably need to verify your identity before helping you with the security question.

  • I have a problem with my Iphone 4s since I did my first update at your Itunes, the bluetooth and the WiFi it is not workinhg anymore.  It is sad that companies like apple are not able to support thier sofware and business.  I went to a apple store at Sout

    I have a problem with my Iphone 4s since I did my first update at your Itunes, the bluetooth and the WiFi it is not workinhg anymore.
    It is sad that companies like apple are not able to support thier sofware and business.
    I went to a apple store at South Park, Charlotte NC,
    and found out the worst customer service (in my case)
    They don't have answers and don't understand about  "dont let any customer go away sad or mad"
    I explain to them that I did everything they said to fix the problem, even to dounload the iOS 6.1.3
    that was supposed to fix the problem.
    they said fix the problem in other phones but not in mine.
    So here I am with no wifi and bluetooth, with apple technicians and experts that don't know what to do with the problem that the sofware they developed cause in my iphone 4s.
    and the solution is for me to pay $199.00 US dollars for a problem that I did not cause.
    wich means to buy something else from apple to fix a problem that it is not my fault.
    Great! what a convenient solution.
    I would like to have an answer from you guys and see if someone there have a better answer for me that shows support, values and integrity as a grest company with solutions for your customers.
    Dont think that I want a new phone, I want mine fixed if is possible.
    Thank you very much and God Bless you!

    Apple isnt here. this is a user based forum for technical questions. The solution is to restart, reset, and restore as new which is in the manual after that get it replaced for hard ware failure. if your within your one year warranty its replaced if it is out of the warranty then it is 199$

  • I just got an apple at&t iphone 4 and I have it unlocked. But I want to connect it to t-mobile, so I trimmed my sim card and once the phone was unlocked I inserted the sim and it says no sim, activation error. What can I do to fix this? What is wrong?
