I Want to run dual screens off my macbook pro

What add-ons and cables do I need to make this happen?
Cheers

This isn't really possible. If you have the iOS developer tools, you can run an iPhone app in a debugging environment on your computer, but that doesn't really make the screen bigger (unless it comes as an iPad app as well and you can debug it in a "virtual" iPad). But you have to have the developer tools, which I believe means having a $99/year iOS developer program membership.

Running two screens from a macbook pro

How can I run a second screen from my macbook pro. I run a thunderbolt screen from the thunderbolt port but the port on the thunderbolt screen won't send a signal to the HDMI port (the macbook thunderbolt port sends a signal to the HDTV no problem?

I want to run Iphone apps on my Macbook Pro. Is this possible?

I like some apps very much and would just like to access them on my computer so the screen is larger. Maybe there is an app for this. I tether my Mac via USB so my phone ( Iphone 4 ) is hooked up when I'm using my computer.

Dual monitors for my macbook pro

I want to use dual monitors for my macbook pro but I am getting mixed answers as to if that is possible. I want to use just the two monitors, so basically I am thinking I will plug my macbook into the monitors, close my macbook and use a blue tooth mouse and keyboard on the two monitors. I want to know if that is possible. Also, I am wondering about the adapters. I know that one end should be the thunderbolt and then the other end will have whatever the monitor needs (DVI/VGA) but all the adapters I see only have one place to plug a monitor in, and I will be need two.

It is possible.
I currently use a thunderbolt to vga adaptor and a usb to vga adaptor to run two independent monitors.
However, the usb to vga adaptor is not great. I'm using an Eclipse See2 UV159 but the screen does not come out as good as the thunderbolt to vga adaptor.
I'm currently looking for a better adaptor.

What version of LR should I choose to run it on a 2008 macbook pro OS 10.5 (updated with 8GB RAM)

As it says in the title: I want to run LR on my 2008 macbook pro OS 10.5 (updated with 8GB RAM). Adobe support told me that it would not be a problem, yet i'm confronted with a com.apple.installer.pagecontroller error -1. I have no idea what it is or how to solve it.
Can you please help me? Thank you.

You will not be able to use a LR 5 key on an older LR. While an intermediate version of OS X may be easier on your system and may allow a newer version of LR than LR3, if it is not current you still have to get that old version of LR from an alternate channel.
If you have an easy way to clone your system I would try upgrade you Yosemite and putting LR 5 on it since you have a key. If it doesn't perform to your satisfaction you can always clone back to 10.5 and seek an alternate solution.
However, was the LR 5 key owned by your previous job along with that other laptop? If so, it violates the license for you to use it.

Want to run dual monitors;

I want to run dual monitors; my video card if GeForce4 MX, bus is AGP; vram 32 mb; vendor nVIDIA; it is in my PCI slot #1 (I have a scuzzi card in slot 5 and nothing else).
At present I have a Dell CRT 32mb as my main display, with mirror turned off.
Now I have hooked up a Belkin ADC to DVI adaptor to the ADC output and connected it to a Sharp monitor with a DVI input.
In my system profiler it says "NVDA,Display-B", cjlick on that is says no display connected.
So—it won't run.
What is wrong with this picture?

Does the new monitor work if you click "Detect Displays" in system preferences?
If it still doesn't, try connecting the Sharp monitor directly to the card's DVI output (instead of the Dell) and see if it works then.

I'm new here, I want to run dual monitors on my touchsmart 610 Q

I just bought a 610Q and would love to run dual screens on it

Hello 1stRangerCole:
           Welcome to HP's forum:  In your case I recommend you go to your local computer store and ask one ot the computer sales representatives to help out with what exact cables you need to buy. Please write down your computer make and model number and the make and model number of monitors. They will need this information to cross reference them. You will be able to tell what ports they hook up in by matching up the cable ends with ports. If you are not comfortable with it ask them to draw a diagram as to what cables go where.
       Now that was the easy part this is on you now.  Even I find it dificult just by reading it. Click on the windows start button on the right hand sign open up Help and Support in Help and Support search box type in PC to Monitor. Then click on Move windows between multiple monitor .   Please follow these direction carefully . The reason I did not post cables that you need to purchased. I did not want you to by the wrong ones. Waste that money for nothing. Sales clerks are paid to help out costumers out. Besides if they told you to purchased a wrong cable they will take it back and exchange it with the correct cable
        Not worth you trying to figure out all these technical names and terms are. Let the yong folks do it for you. That's what they get paid for by their employers. frrw.

I want to run dual monitors with my hp compaq dc5800 small from e7400 @ 2.8ghz

I want to run dual monitors with my hp compaq dc5800 Small From e7400 @ 2.8ghz. Will it work and what video card do you recomend?

Yes, I see that I was in error when I posted that. Sorry.
The quickspecs for any dc5800 state that it has a:
(1) low profile PCIe x16 (SDVO/ADD2) slot.
Accordingly, the only card you can install would be this one...

I wanted to calibrate the battery my new macbook pro turns off

You should perform this procedure when you first use your computer? is this true? new macbook pro on may 11 2010 what happed was today on may 22 2010 i wanted to calibrate the battery my new macbook pro turns off when it runs out of battery. 3 times Typically, when macs run out of battery, they go into sleep mode. However mine skips this completely and just turns off. WHY? does this mean the battery is bad?
Resetting the PRAM (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/26871.html) fixed the problem in my case. then i did the calibrate the battery again this time it went to sleep not shut down i did this 3 more times why?
the 3 forced shut downs without entering SafeSleep. with logs indicating improper shutdown, will that cause severe corruption to the os and do i have to reinstall the os now?2.66 ghz 2010

the 9 more 4 in 10.6.4 forced shut downs without entering SafeSleep. with logs indicating improper shutdown, will that cause severe corruption to the os and do i have to reinstall the os now?2.66 ghz 2010 but if it happens again you should try
i hate to do this reinstalling the OS, if this do not work also, then you should call apple, or take your MBP to an apple store. on june 24 2010 i am going to talk to spence about this. so what do i do now? this happed on june 16 2010 4 more times
without entering SafeSleep. only one time it worked on 10.6.4

I can't seem to run 3 external displays of off my MacBook Pro 13inc with Retina.

I can't seem to run 3 external displays of off my MacBook Pro 13inc with Retina (2.8GHz Intel Core i7, 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3, 512GB SD driven, OS X 10.9.3) It only picks ups 2 displays. I also have a 15inch Mac Book Pro with Retina that can run all 3 screens. Any suggestions, please?

The late 2013 MacBook Pro Retina 13 inch screen model can power three external displays in addition to its own.
Here is a video showing three external displays working; 1 HDMI, 1 MiniDisplay Port, and 1 thru USB using a Startech external video card to DVI adapter. All the external displays are old 23 inch Apple Cinema Displays hooked up thru each monitor's Apple Display Connector (ADC), then to Apple ADC to DVI adapters, then a third adapter (HDMI, USB, MiniDisplayport). So ADC/ADC to DVI/DVI to whatever/MacBook. The monitors are probably older than some of the users on this board. The USB to DVI external card/adapter is what makes it work, and it's less than $70 online.

I want to reinstall OS on my 2012 MacBook Pro. It shipped iwth 10.8, but now runs 10.9. Can I reinstall to 10.9, I do I have to reinstall 10.8 and upgrade again to 10.9?

I want to reinstall OS on my 2012 MacBook Pro. It shipped with 10.8, but now runs 10.9. Can I reinstall straight to 10.9, or do I have to reinstall 10.8 and upgrade again to 10.9?

Best to install 10.9 straight up. If you still have your OS 10.9 downloaded file you can use that, or you can go to the app store and download it again. It will be in your previous purchase history. Or you could even upgrade to 10.10. If you want to start from scratch you will need to boot from USB or DVD and initialise (erase) your internal HD. To do create a bootable USB thumb drive with OS 10.9 or 10.10 follow this guide

And heres a how to on installing a fresh copy of Yosemite (OS X 10.10)

How do I get Elements to occupy full screen on my macbook pro? - the docking station remains visible and I don't want to have the dock in hide mode?

Unfortunately, there is no answer to this problem via this link. It may be that this is simply how the software actually works. It is a design fault in Adobe Photoshop Elements. It is possible to temporarily hide the dock within 'system preferences'. Oh well. Someone may know better.... I hope!

ACD 30" Dual Link DVI and MacBook Pro Unibody

I have the following configuration:
ACD 30" Dual Link DVI and MacBook Pro Unibody
I am exhibiting some intermittent problems with the 30" display not coming up when I reboot for example and here are some more:
1. MacBook Pro not in clam-shell mode and restart equals 30" display not turning on
2. When in Snow Leopard and I have the MacBook Pro running in clam-shell mode and I open the display on the MacBook Pro it remains black.
3. When waking the MacBook Pro from sleeping (MacBook Pro in clam-shell) the 30" ACD is "grainy" and the display is not usable and it requires a reboot to solve the problem.
Any help? In addition are there any other displays using mini-display port to mini display port technology?
What about a different monitor; will I still have to use the Dual Link DVI adapter to drive a display with higher than 1920x1200 resolution?
Are there adapters to go from mini-display port to display port?
Thanks,
Mike

Just came across your post and i have a couple of suggestions ive noticed with the Dual-Link to Mini-DP with the same configuration.
When working in clamshell mode for example, the 30" will become the MAIN/Default display...So if you open your macbookpro while the 30" is on and the system is running, the screen will remain black because it is in closed mode; basically meaning there is no signal to be sent.
so if you want the display to show up, either restart or put into sleep mode, then wake the system WITH THE LID OPEN.
As for the grainy/static artifacts, its beena reported issue since day 1, not sure waht the fix or issue may be with it but heres a resolution.
Press; SHIFT CONTROL EJECT-KEY all at once, this will disable signal to the monitor, but not shut off the machine...then use your mouse or press a key on the keyboard to wake the display and the grainyness should disappear.

I want to update to LION,on my Macbook Pro duo core, (october 2006) because Adobe CC needs at least that. I know my computer is old, but works perfect to me and I do not want to stay in Adobe CS6 since I have access to Adobe Cloud CC. Please help.

I probably dont want to go to Mountain Lion either because I've heard that it will slow down my computer, So, Lion 10.7 will be the perfect OS X for me.
I have ne newest release of Snow Leopard installed and works great.
Thank you ALL for your help.

you will be ok updating to the new software but there will be some trade off. i have 3 macbooks 2006 that are all running the latest versions.
some of the trade off are
1-2 less of battery life
slow wake ups from sleep
slower start up time about 30-40 seconds longer then what you have now
the operating system will use high % of your processer while idealing
these are not the things you want to hear about a new os compared to the old one but this is how it is even with a new macbook pro. but it's not the end of the world. just make sure you have at least more then 2GB of ram and have a good harddrive and you will be ok.
