Macbook Air 2014 11inch connecting to Benq monitor

I have just got a new macbook air 11" and plugged into my Benq E2200HD monitor with Belkin mini Display port to HDMI and blue scene on the monitor. My old Macbook uses the same cable, adaptor and monitor and works fine. Then plug into new Macbook Air and only a blue screen, even though in display settings it shows up as as a monitor with the name BenQ E2200HD. Do I need a driver or something? I have 2 mini display port to HDMI and both don't work on the monitor but work on the TVs. Any ideas?

Hello there, Fuchzzz.
Great job on doing some great troubleshooting on your own. The following Knowledge Base article offers up some additional information on resetting the resolution as well:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

    External screens are designed to work as extended displays for your computer's display. It means that menu bars and desktop icons won't appear, and you will only see windows if you drag them to the right part of the computer's display.
    To change this, you have to activate video mirroring > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5019

  • Macbook Air hangs when connected to an external main monitor

    I have a Macbook Air the I connect to an external monitor as a main monitor using an HDMI to DVI cable. The configuration is equivalent to the LED display from Apple. The system works correctly while I am using it, but when it gets sleep, the system is unable recognize the external mouse/keyboard, and it hangs. I have disconnected the external monitor, disconnected and reconnected the USB and nothing works. The only way to recover the computer is to halt it using the power button and power it on another time.
    I have also put the computer to not sleep if it is connected to mains. It still sleeps.
    Does any one know how to solve this problem?

    I do not know.
    What I know is that if I suspend the machine, it recovers correctly, but if it suspends itself, it is not able to return to normal activity. It seems like it is unable to remember that it has to use the external monitor and peripherals in the second case.

  • Early 2014 MacBook Air Won't Connect to Wi-Fi

    I recently ordered a new modem from my ISP, and discovered that the horrendous firmware that came preinstalled blocked out all of my forwarded ports. Since this is one of those combo routers/modems and I already have a router,  I called my ISP and told told them to bridge my connection to my main router. After having my connection bridged, my forwarded ports are functional, but my MacBook Air refuses to connect to Wi-Fi. Every other computer, tablet, and phone in the house connects just fine, so it really makes no sense to me. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi davidfromwinfield,
    I am sure it is frustrating to have changed your network configuration and have one device not functioning as desired. One thing I would suggest to you would be to make certain that your router is set up correctly and that it uses settings as suggested in the following article -

  • My new Macbook air won't connect to my Vizio HDTV.

    My new Macbook Air won't connect to my Vizio VO32LF HDTV.  I bought a mini-displayport to HDMI cable to connect the two.  When I connect the cable, and switch to the appropriate HDMI input on the TV, my Macbook Air screen will flash blue for a second, and then return to normal.  The TV reports it's unable to find a signal.  I use the HDTV as my primary monitor, so I'd really appreciate some help on getting the two to place nicely together!

    Cp,
    Thanks for the reply. However, it appears that the issue is not with the hotspot, but with the network settings in the MacBook Air as every other device I have (including non-Apple devices) will connect to the iPhone hotspot. Another symptom is that my MacBook Air can find my iMac (and other network devices) on my wireless network, but the iMac can't find the MacBook Air.

    iMessage on my macbook air will not connect. It says "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again." I have gone through all the support instructions and a lot of these discussion chats. I have sign out of it and my phone and resigned in. I have checked that everything is verified and connected. My ios is up to date on both my computer and phone. It worked fine until about a week ago and suddenly it stopped
    Thank you for your assistance!

    Hi,
    In Hard Drive/Library/Fonts  do you have the AppleGothic.ttf  Font.
    The iMessages account uses this to "register".
    If the computer has been Off then the App effectively "registers" the Apple ID again.
    It cannot do this is the Font is "missing".
    The thread I saw that highlighted this as an  issues said the font could be downloaded from Apple  but not the "how" of that.

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

  • HT4437 I have a Macbook Air, an iPad3, and Apple TV.  I want to be able to use the iPad3 for training through the Macbook Air which is connected to a projector.  Any ideas?

    I would like to be able to show my iPad3 screen through the Macbook Air that is connected to a projector.  I attended an Apple Training presentation and the presenter was using this set up-how do I get it set up correctly?  I also recently purchase Apple TV because the presenter said that she was using this device with the Air and the iPad.

    If you are trying to connect the iPad to the Macbook, then try this app: http://www.reflectionapp.com/ The iPad also supports connecting straight to the Apple TV, so you could try it that way too.
          Hope this helps!

  • MacBook Air will not connect to a specific network

    Hi,
    I recently moved into a new place and the landlord has a wireless connection in place. My Macbook Pro , iPad and iPhone 5s all connect to the network without a problem (it requires a password and we were able to connect just fine). However, my mom's MacBook Air is not connecting at all. It recognizes the network and even establishes a connection to it, however, I only see an exclamation point on the airport icon on the top right once the connection is established and we cannot browse any websites.
    Does anyone have any potential solution to this? I'm not able to drive to the Apple Store right now so I was hoping something could be done on my end prior to going to the genius bar.
    Thanks in advance

  • Loading Adobe Photoshop on my MacBook Air (2014) without an optical drive

    My lab at the University already has Adobe Photoshop. I am wondering how do I download it on my new MacBook Air (2014) without an optical drive.
    Another query is about the usability of photoshop on MacBook Air. Mine is a 1.4Ghz, 128gb, 8mb (RAM) MAB. I am not a heavy user of Photoshop, but I need it once in a while for improving images from experiments. These images are mostly kept in a dropbox.  I am wondering if the above specification sufficient.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thank

    Hi There,
    Whenever I hook up a projector that doesn't work with my MacBook (when it shows just a blank, black screen), the first thing I try is going to System Preferences > Displays and setting the resolution of my desktop to 800x600.
    Nine times out of ten, the projector starts right up and works perfectly.

  • HT4260 I did everything the article suggests. And for my macbook pro it works perfectly. But all the other devices (iphone 5, 4, Macbook Air) can't connect to the network. Anybody any idea's?

    I did everything the article suggests. And for my macbook pro it works perfectly. But all the other devices (iphone 5, 4, Macbook Air) can't connect to the network. Anybody any idea's?

    Try resetting your modem. Power it down. Wait a moment, then power it up again. While it resets, do not change what is connected to it.
    In another, though unrelated article, Apple recommends the following:
    If you have configured your Wi-Fi base stations in the past, it may be helpful to do a factory default reset of each Wi-Fi base station that will be part of the wireless extended network before you begin.
    This step really ought not be considered optional for the configuration you propose. If the problem persists after resetting your modem, reset everything else too.

    Unfortunately if there are various colours across the screen then you have broken the LCD Screen and it will need replacing. If the colours change when you press the area lightly then this is another symptom that you've broken the screen.
