Is it possible to attach two 27 inch displays the new generation 17 inch MacPro?

Is it possible to attach two 24 inch displays to the new generation 17 inch Macbook Pro?

You can attach one monitor to the Thunderbolt port and the other to a USB port. At present the Thunderbolt port in and of itself can't support two monitors, and the one third-party box I know of that enables connecting two monitors to a mini-Displayport hasn't yet been updated for Thunderbolt compatibility. Here's the kind of adapter you'd need for the USB connection:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/VIDU2DVIA/
Note that the USB connection would be limited to a maximum of 2048 x 1152 resolution with that adapter (or less with many other USB adapters). That's enough for Apple's 24" LED display, if that's the one you were thinking of. USB's slowness also imposes performance limitations on USB-connected displays, so the one connected via Thunderbolt is the one you'd want to view any fast-action video or games on.
Oops, I've just noticed that you asked in your subject line about 27" displays and in the body of your query about 24" displays. The short answer with respect to 27" displays is no, you could only run one at its native resolution. You could add a 24" display via USB.

  • How to attach two files in the send mail action

    Hi experts
    I want to attach two files in the send mail action . I tried using ; as a separator but it did not work .
    Regards,
    Antonio R . Rubalcaba

    Thanks Jeremy,  
    Yes I am contemplating the another threat .  I still want to send two files because the two files have very distinct type of information .  The first one is operational and the second one is about statistics .  Of course that I can send both type of inforrmation in only one file . I just want to save time to the end user and let him select what infomation he wants to see .
    Thanks and my best wishes for you and your family ,

  • Is it possible to use NUMCHARS to display the number of characters in a block of text instead of the whole document? How?

    Is it possible to use NUMCHARS to display the number of characters in a block of text instead of the whole document? How?

    Getting the character count for a paragraph is trivial:
    Sub NumChars1()
    MsgBox Selection.Paragraphs(1).Range.Characters.Count
    End Sub
    Even outputting it to the document is trivial:
    Sub NumChars2()
    With Selection.Paragraphs(1)
      .Range.InsertAfter .Range.Characters.Count
    End With
    End Sub
    The real issue comes when you want to update the document. If the destination paragraph is only ever empty or contains the character count of the previous paragraph, you could use:
    Sub NumChars3()
    With Selection.Paragraphs(1)
      .Next.Range.Text = .Range.Characters.Count & vbCr
    End With
    End Sub

  • Response time of the new 24-inch iMac Core 2 Duo 3.06GHz display??

    Apple is not famous for documenting the response time of it's diplays, An exception is the new Apple LED Cinema Display (24" flat panel) which they list as 14ms.
    Does anybody know the response time of the new 24-inch iMac Core 2 Duo 3.06GHz display??

    Very nice, I've always wanted a bigger iMac and
    wondered why they didn't make one. I'm on a G5
    20inch now and it works 100% perfectly. BUt the 24
    incher is very compelling!
    Myself, never felt the need for a bigger one, the 20-inch is perfect for what I want it to do. Perhaps in the future...
    It's pretty obvious why a 24-inch was not offered sooner, as the retail price would have been too expensive to create enough demand to justify production.

  • Two questions about the new iWeb

    Hi
    I've got two questions about the new iWeb.
    1. Is it possible to blog online now? Meaning adding a new blog entry without having to be on your own Mac? This is a feature I've been waiting for since iWeb first was released.
    2. Is it possible to choose the format of images? Earlier editions had the option to "optimize" images but that meant it changed it into .png meaning the site got a lot heavier than if .jpg was used. And since I have relatives who still only have an isdn connection I need to be able to have the website as light as possible.
    thanks

    Ah well... thanks for the quick answer

  • What is the best security lock for the new 21 inch imac?

    I want to know what is the best security lock for the new 21 inch imac?

    Most computers refer to the locking attachment in some relationship to the name "Kensington", and that might be a useful clue.
    Following that, be sure to avoid counterfeit products. A well-known computer vendor (not Apple), was approached by a large purchaser (several tens of thousands of laptops) who insisted on using a counterfeit locking product that had a larger than normal locking tab. The vendor modified the tooling to accept the counterfeit product and, wouldn't you know it, the genuine product would no longer secure the computer properly.

  • Have hardware problems associated with the new 27 inch iMac been addressed?

    I realize that this question may have been answered on another iMac post, but my wife and I thought we would quickly post the following question just in case there are some similarly quick answers:
    We are thinking about acquiring one of the new 27 inch i7 iMacs. However, several initial problems have been reported with the new 27 inch iMac, e.g. screen problems, startup problems, etc.
    According to Macworld (about 2-3 months ago), Apple finally acknowledged these hardware problems.
    How do we know that acquiring one of the new 27 inch iMacs is a safe bet now…? Meaning, have these problems been addressed…? Has there been another announcement from Apple saying that these manufacturing processes/problems have been satisfactorily addressed…?
    Thanks in advance!

    I bought one two weeks ago; 27" i5. No problems found.

    It's possible to transfer licenses but it must be done by contacting a Customer Service representative by phone or web chat. They'll probably have you submit a form.

  • When links are clicked, they do not fully display the NEW page until the mouse is moved.I know it is a current bug, and appears in no other browsers that I know of.

    It was pointed out that my links do not function correctly on Firefox on a Windows platform. When links are clicked, they do not fully display the NEW page until the mouse is moved! I have now observed it for myself on my fathers PC running Windows XP on Firefox.My PC is on Windows7
    It is the 5 version of Firefox, so I know it is a current bug, and appears in no other browsers that I know of.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • The new 24-inch iMac

    Hello,
    Apple released today, sep 06, 2006, the new 24-inch iMac, that appears besides the 17-inch and the 20-inch models.
    The picture of the 3 are the same, but one thing called my attention: the 3 seems to be wide screen, which means that the ratio between the width and the height should be 16:9 (the default ratio was 12:9), but one sees more of the same picture in the larger ones.
    It should be the same.
    That advantage should occur if one compares a screen 12:9 with another
    16:9.
    To make it worse, I am a High School Math teacher, which means that I know what proportions are.
    The only one guess left is: they have different ratios, which should not occur.
    I gave one iMac G4 to one daughter, but I never saw the iMac G5 (or Intel).
    Or, ... I got one wrong point.
    Your points will be appreciated.
    Regards,
    Jorge Lucas (the guy from Rio Grande do Sul)

    Hello Mode_Fan,
    It looks like you got it right.
    Apple played a little bit dirt, making people believe they will see more with the bigger one, but if I got it right this time, the smaller can be put at the same resolution and show the same picture. Or am I wrong again?
    Like I already said to myself:
    "Lucas, you need to learn about hardware!"
    Thanks a lot!
    P.S.B.R.S. (Post Scriptum Before Really Scriptum, expression just created/released):
    So big improvements, just 6 days ahead of the “It’s Showtime”, makes me wonder that this thing will be very big, because the 24-inch iMac could be the ... one more thing, that we all missed in the WWDC 2006, one month ago.
    One can expect the movie deal and the iPhone and I just want see Steve delivering the news like he used to.
    By Quick Time, of course, since he only knows George Lucas.

  • Is it possible to attach two monitors to a MBP using a displayport splitter?

    Hello community!
    I have done quite a bit on research on this, but haven't found any recent and conclusive answers. My hope is to find a solution and have it documented for others seeking the same.
    Goal
    I want to attach two external monitors to the miniDP/Thunderbolt port of my MacBook Pro using a DisplayPort (DP) splitter.
    Hardware
    Macbook Pro, mid 2012 (non-retina), with NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M, Mavericks
    2x DELL U2412M that support DVI,VGA or Displayport.
    What I know
    My MBP should support more than two displays
    There is a workaround using a USB adapter (my last resort)
    There are Thunderbolt "Docking Stations" (e.g. from Belkin) providing several outputs, but don't know if any supports more than one display
    DP supports multiple displays as of rev. 1.2 (daisy-chain)
    The U2412M
    (supposedly) supports DP rev. 1.2
    works when attached with DP (tested on both units)
    Thunderbolt is backwards compatible with DP (I think the DP signal is multiplexed on a thunderbolt connection)
    I found a DP-splitter supporting multiple displays. However, Delock's support could not confirm it working with my MBP (they have no test units)
    What I tried
    I purchased the DP-splitter and tried to connect both displays to the mac.
    Result
    While there is a reaction initially, both monitors go into standby.
    If I connect only one display to the splitter
    DP: works
    mDP: Laptop display goes black several times (I suppose OS X is attempting to set up the display), before defaulting to the buildin screen only (Note: Connecting the mDP<->DP cable directly works)
    MBP cannot boot if both displays are connected with splitter as WindowServer crashes (there are crash logs, if that would help)
    It's possible, that the splitter's mDP port is defective. "My" store suggested bringing it in for replacement. As they are out of stock, however, it'll take a while for a replacement to arrive.
    Question / tldr
    Has anyone successfully connected two displays to a single mDP/Thunderbolt port without using thunderbolt?
    What DP revision does the thunderbolt port support?
    Is there anything else I could try?

    Melophage,
    Thanks for pointing out the PowerDesk software.
    For the benefit of any other readers, here's a rough outline of it's functionality:
    Divide 'virtual' desktop into sections. (allows maximising to both screens, a single one or even a division of a single screen)
    Assign dock to a particular display (or span)
    Swap active window and maximize it
    Alas, there seems no way to assign the menu bar to a single display.
    Quite interesting is the ability to divide a screen's desktop into sections. Applications can then be maximised in these sections, allowing for a "mission control" setup, where you can monitor several applications at once.

  • Attach two Cinema Displays to MBP?

    can i attach two 2004 Apple Cinema Displays (23"   20") to my 15" 2011 MBP? I see some community references to external devices (Matrox or EVGA). Is there no way to do it using just some combination of DVI / miniDV / USB cables adapters? Thanks!

    Do your two displays have ADC (Apple Display Connector) ports, or DVI ports? If they have DVI, you can connect one to your MBP's Thunderbolt port with a mini-Displayport-to-DVI adapter and the other to a USB port with an adapter like this:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/VIDU2DVIA/
    Note that the USB-connected display will be less responsive than the other.
    If your displays have ADC ports, you'll be stringing several adapters together just to get one of them connected, and I'm not certain that it will actually be possible to use either. Thunderbolt-to-ADC is very unlikely to have been tested by Apple, and given the high cost and difficulty of finding the long-discontinued ADC adapters nowadays, it would be a significant gamble for you to undertake the testing yourself.
