Laptop to TV display

I have never had any particular issue with switching display from T61 to HD TV but now when I click Fn Space switch resolution instead of switch between displays. (using monitor plug connection}. I have tried adjusting display settings and just seems to make display off and no change to switching.

hey froven,
that's strange. did you update your unit recently ?
if possible, head over to http://support.lenovo.com and crosscheck at the download page with the software listed with the software in your unit and if there is any new version available; do update.
curious to know does the FN+(F key) combo work for other stuff ?

Hello QuinnDev,
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you are trying to use your MacBook Pro with a Thunderbolt Display in closed clamshell mode (MacBook Pro closed), but sometimes the display doesn't stay on. I found an article that talks about closed clamshell mode. You would have to fulfill the following requirements to use your display this way:
Requirements for closed display mode:
Power adapter
External keyboard, mouse, or trackpad
External display
You can find all the steps and the full article here:

How can i get my laptop screen to display on a second monitor after closing the laptop

I have a 13" MacPro, love it, but its display is a little small for how far away i sit at my desk. I have a second 21" monitor that i would like to use for this purpose, but whenever i close the laptop screen it shuts down the signal for the second screen as well. Is there a setting that i am missing to be able to close the laptop and still use my monitor?

Hi AmandaBenton,
The article below will explain how to use an external display with your Macbook Pro.
The "Mirror Displays" option will show whatever you are seeing on your Macbook Pro on your TV screen.
How to use multiple displays with your Mac
Video mirroring
Mirroring displays the same image on each display.
Make sure your additional display is properly connected and powered on.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
From the View menu, choose Displays.
Click the Arrangement tab.
Enable (check) "Mirror Displays" in the bottom-left corner.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

Laptop Built In Display and External Display not Working

Hi all, I have a HP Envy M6-1158ca, and recently my Built-in display stopped working. I plugged it into an external display via HDMI and it showed no input. It seems as though the laptop is not booting into Windows either, as usually whenever my laptop boots into windows, the fingerprint scanner blinks letting me know I can now sign in using it. I am extremly frustrated with this, and have an unbelieveable amount of stress because this was my only PC. Please respond as soon as possible, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
This question was solved.

Yes.. i think thats what might have damaged it...Notebook should always be completely powered off with the battery out and ac adapter disconnected while replacing any internal hardware..
Shouldnt be a BIOS problem....but still you can check this link..
Restoring the BIOS
Note:
If you have HP Support Assistant installed on the computer(The Blue Question Mark) then open it ==> Complete all pending Updates & Tuneups==> Restart and Check. It may solve your problem

T60 Laptop Doesn't Display On-Screen Volume After Hotkey Features Integration Update

I have a ThinkPad T60 (2008-HC6) laptop running Windows 8 Pro (32-bit). Today (1-24-2013), I installed the "Hotkey Features Integration for Windows 8" update that was released on January 18, 2013. After reboot, the on-screen indicator that pops up when I change the volume on my laptop by pressing the volume up, volume down, or mute keys doesn't show up. The keys work fine, but the indicator doesn't display.
I've already tried looking for a solution online. One common solution, installing Lenovo Energy Management, didn't solve my problem. No other software was changed on my laptop between when the power indicator last worked and when I installed the Hotkeys update.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I figured out the problem was with the "On Screen Display" portion of the update. This particular update has two parts to it. First, it adds the "Lenovo Patch Utility" program. Second, it updates the "On Screen Display" program, assuming that an older version was already on the computer being updated. Adding the "Lenovo Patch Utility" didn't cause any harm, but updating the "On Screen Display" prevents the on-screen volume indicator from displaying.
Ultimately, what I ended up doing was removing the "On Screen Display" with the same utility that I used to update it. Then I downloaded the next newest version of the utility and installed that utility's version of the "On Screen Display" program.
My on-screen volume indicator is now back and running fine.

Urgent: Laptop Won't Display

I was having trouble with my airport, and I followed the advice of someone who sent me a link detailing how to open the battery compartment and check it. I followed these directions, and now when I turn my computer on it makes the normal sounds, but there is nothing on the display. Does anyone know how I might find a way to use it? I am posting from a public computer lab, but I really need my laptop for school; it has all my work on it. Thanks.

Please include your full model number when posting problems on the forums. It can be found on the bottom of your laptop.
Right-click on the battery icon in the notification area near the clock and select "Power Options." Next to your selected plan, click "Change plan settings." Now click "Restore default settings for this plan."

My laptop meets minimum display resolution for Lightroom 5 but bottom of windows display off-screen

I installed Lightroom 5.3 on my older Lenovo laptop with 1280x768 native screen resolution. When I open Lightroom and try to set up preferences, the lower part of the preferences window is displayed off the bottom of the screen and I am unable to move it up to make changes. The same thing happened when it asked me to download the update to 5.5; I could not get to the bottom of the window to say yes.
The Lightroom 5 specs say the minimum display resolution required to use Lightroom 5 is 1024 x 768 display. My laptop exceeds that.
I am using Windows 7 64bit and LR 5 64bit.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Don

Any chance you have set display scaling to Larger - 150% in Windows 7 display settings? It is possible that that is affecting the display size of LR.

Laptop as second display

I currently have a imac g5 I want to get a second display for use when using final cut pro..... I was wondering if it would be possible for a apple laptop to serve this function.... since i could use it for so much more than just buying a cinema display

Ok, so how about the reverse....I have an macbook (intel) and want to use my 20" imac's monitor. Reason, adobe's Illustrator CS2 trial will not load on my imac. Tried all the suggusts gave up. It will on the macbook (?) I'm taking classes and need a bigger screen to really be affective doing my homework.
So can I hook my macbook to my imac's Screen, shut my macbook's lid and work?

LAPTOP UNABLE TO DISPLAY WEB CONTENT CORRECTLY

I will try to be clear and brief.
I own the Satellite L675-S7048 laptop. I utilize a makeover site in which you can upload your own picture and actually change your own hair color. The problem is this:
On the Toshiba laptop with Windows 7, the "change your own haircolor" option doesn't work. I thought it was a problem with the website. My old HP Laptop with Vista, however, IS able to display the "change your hair color function". My HP is over five years old, the Toshiba a year old. Do I need to change a setting or upgrade something so the hair color function will work? I don't understand why the function doesn't work on a new, up to date laptop, but does on an older one.
Thanks,
Fran

Please read below, then read this. UPDATE! This is strange but *may* help solve the mystery for someone who is saavy on this. The pictures that I uploaded and used the "change your hair color feature" on the OLD HP laptop WORK on the new Toshiba laptop! The pictures that I uploaded onto the Toshiba laptop originally I cannot utilize the "change your haircolor feature" on it. I hope this is clear. Why is this happening??
I have tried using the site through Mozilla, IE and even AOL. Doesn't work. I really think it's the computer. Could it be the site works better in either XP or Vista? I think my old laptop has Vista. My new one, Win 7. What about a different flash player download? (Free of course).
Also, someone mentioned that I should be able to change Windows 7 to work as XP or Vista??? Is that true? And how would I do that and then switch back to Win 7?
Thanks.

Icons do not display using Windows 7 on HP Pavilion DM4 laptop. They display with Chrome browser-same laptop. Also display on Dell desktop with Windows XP

An example:
In gmail, when you click on an email in your in-box, icon graphics depicting options for the selected email (e.g., trash box, etc.) show up in Chrome but are replaced by empty rectangle images in Firefox or Internet Explorer. You can move the cursor over each box to get text to display explaining the option and then click on it and it will work. On my Dell desk top PC, the icon graphics show up in Firefox as well as IE and Chrome.

Can you attach a screenshot?

Laptop does not display web content - Will display temporarily then white screen

When browsing using IE8, It displays the home page then it goes white. When I hit the refresh button, it will display the web content momentarily then the white screen again. I tried installing different web browsers, FIrefox and Chrome. FIrefox won't start. It errors out. Chrome will display white page and I also get the Aw Snap error message. I reinstalled Original windows vista OS using original reinstall disks. Same thing, I installed windows 7 home premium and same result. Any ideas on what could be causing this? I have never seen this type of behavior. I am currently reinstalling windows 7 home premium and am updating all service packs and patches, which I have done previously. Any ideas on trying to solve this problem would be very welcomed.

I do have 2 separate interenet connections. Both are broadband cable connections. One I used using the built in wireless and the other with the ethernet cable. I disabled the wireless once I connected using the ethernet, Same results on both. The wierd thing is now after all of the updates have completed installing, instead of a white screen, now it is a black screen. I have hooked up many PCs with both internet connection and never had this problem. Thanks for your response.

Use laptop as a display for desktop?

is there a way i can hook my laptop to be a monitor, keyboard, and mouse for my desktop?

Hi Trilasertops,
The solution I am proposing effectively turns your desktop computer into an external Firewire drive for your laptop.
You would be using the system installed on the desktop to run the laptop.
You would be constrained by the performance limitations of the laptop, plus there may be system clashes due to the different ways in which the operating systems are installed on each computer.
If you have any peripherals hooked to the desktop, you access to these via the laptop may be restricted.
However, if it works, it means that your are controlling the desktop drive from your laptop.
USB keyboards (especially secondhand ones) aren't really that expensive. Maybe that would be a better (simpler) way for your to go.
Cheers!
Karl
