MacBook Pro and External Display on full resolution

I want to use only my external 20" cinema display, connected to my MBP. So what I do is connect the display via the DVI cable, close the lid of the notebook, wake it up from the keyboard/mouse (now I have the full resolution of the Cinema Display), open the lid so I can use the keyboard and the trackpad. This is all right with me, but when I restart or after sleep MacBook's display turns on and is set up as primary and the Cinema Display goes to Dual View mode. Is there a way the laptop to remember the external Display as primary, so I don't always have to close the lid, wake up the laptop and open the lid.
For instance, when I've done this for the first time in Windows, I didn't have to do it again. Now every time I log in in Windows, the macbook's display automatically turns off and the Cinema Display gets its full resolution. This is what i want to be done when I boot in Mac OS.

I know both scenarios (OS X/Windows), but I'm pretty sure that there's nothing you can do about it. As long as your internal display is open while waking from sleep or booting up, it will be always on in OS X. I'm only using my external Cinema Display and keep the MBP's lid closed all the time. Of course, I use an external keyboard and mouse as well. You can only choose which display has the menu bar on it, but you can't turn it off without sleeping the Mac. In Windows the ATi/Nvidia drivers take care of your settings, but it won't be applied until you get to the Desktop, so you'll still have the internal display on while booting Windows...

  • How can I get Time Machine to back up an external hard drive (iPhotos) that is attached to airport extreme base station. Note: Time machine is usb to macbook pro and external drive with iphotos is usb to airport extreme base station. Help please. Thanks!

    Once you have the drive connected to your Mac, click System Preferences (gear icon) on the dock
    Click Time Machine
    Click Options
    Be default, the hard drive will be Excluded from backups. Click the drive to highlight it, then click the "-" (minus) button at the bottom of the list to remove the drive from Excluded items.
    The drive will be backed up on the next Time Machine pass
    Everything above assumes that the hard drive has been formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as Time Machine will only backup drives in that format.

  • Magic Mouse Disconnecting When Closing MacBook Pro Using External Display

    I have a 2009 MacBook Pro. I am trying to use it in sleep mode with an Apple wireless keyboard and a Magic Mouse. Everything appears to be connected fine. When I close the lid on my MacBook, I click my mouse and the external display comes on for a few seconds, then it cuts out and doesn't come back. I have the Bluetooth device can wake the computer up from sleep checked. When I have the MacBook open, the external display works fine. I only lose the external display a few seconds after I close the lid on my MacBook Pro.
    I have made the Magic Mouse and keyboard favorites and it didn't help.
    Does anyone have any idea? I am running 10.6.8.
    Thanks

    GaryKing, can you review how you reset the .plist files for both the Bluetooth keyboard and mouse?
    I had nothing but good things to say about the Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, until I hooked up my 22' Samsung display to my MBP. Power shouldn't be an issue because it's being plugged into the outlet and the external monitor isn't taking power from the MBP. However, my keyboard will keep popping up with the notice "Connection Lost" every 5 or so minutes. Even now, I'm already on the next paragraph but the letters are slowly coming up one by one - it's not registering as fast.
    The mouse experienced the same issue if I'm downloading a lot of files, it will lag behind to the point where I'll drag the mouse to where I want it to be, then a few seconds later it'll pop up where it should, that's how bad the lag is. I thought perhaps restarting the computer will do, but no, and also everything is up-to-date so there are no updates to worry about.
    GaryKing, if you can go over how you reset the .plist files, that would be much appreciated. By the way, it's past a week since your post, how have the Bluetooth devices been working? Did the reset solve the lag issue permanently, or was is just a temporary fix?

  • Macbook pro and two HP 25xi monitors resolution issues

    I have a Macbook Pro with Retina display purchased in 2014. I connected two HP Pavilion 25xi monitors and was having major issues where the second monitor would always be blurry and the resolution would not fit the screen so basically you could not see the border of the screen including the menu bar, sides, etc.
    After troubleshooting and looking at blogs, I tried to investigate from the Monitor itself and did the following:
    HP Monitor Menu > Image Control > Overscan > Turned it OFF
    ISSUE RESOLVED!!!!

    Top of the Line?
    Meaning which one? I seem to recall reading somewhere it's got something to do with the RAM on the GPU???

  • Why 15' Macbook Pro with Retina Display Shows 4K Resolution?

    I discover a very interesting problem when taking a screen capture in 15 inch Macbook Pro with Retina display under different screen resolution settings.
    Please see the image below first.
    Info on the Left : Screen captured in "Default" setting, which is the best retina setting, everything is huge and very Sharpe.
    Info on the Right: Screen captured under the "More Space" setting, which everything looks small and give more space.
    The problem is the screen captured file pixel resolution in each screen resolution settings:
    The "Default" screen setting showing the correct pixels at 2880 by 1800 which is perfect.
    The "More Space" setting is showing 3480 by 2400, at 4K resolution.
    My question is:
    Why is that when the display is under "More space" setting result with more pixels?
    Can anyone help me to explain this with this please?

    I'm not sure what is to explain. "More space" works by pretending that there are more pixels available on the screen than the physical screen has, so it's not too surprising that a screen shot should have more pixels.

  • MacBook Pro And External Hard Drives

    My only Apple computer is a MacBook Pro.  I've just got a new camera that stores both RAW and JPEG for each shot so my internal drive is filling up fast.  I need to get an external hard drive and move my Aperture library to that.
    When I travel, I wish to continue to use Aperture with the internal drive of the MacBook Pro.  I'm not sure if I understand the workflow.  Please would someone help me understand the best way to do this properly?
    I think what I need to do is this:
    Let's call the existing library on the internal disk home.  After moving home from the internal to the new external drive, I must create a new library on the internal drive - let's call it travel.  When on the road, I should use the travel library and, when I get back, merge it with the home library. 
    How do I do that though?
    The documentation on merging libraries describes the scenario where you have two computers instead of my scenario.  I'm guessing that you open the home library and import the travel library.  If that's right, do you just then delete the travel library and start again on your next trip?
    Also, what do you do about vaults?  Have a second external drive and put them on there?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    There are two things you could do:
    Turn your Aperture Library into a referenced library and relocate the master image files to your external drive. You will be able to browse, grade, and tag your images even if the external drive is not connected, but you can only edit those images whose masters are managed. Sp perhaps you could keep the masters of the most recent projects managed. while you are on the road import the new images into the library and relocate them to your external drive when you get back.
    To relocate to an external drive: Select the images and use
    File -> Relocate Masters
    What I sometimes do when on vacation: create a new, second Aperture Library on my travel MacBook Pro and import my new pictures from the trip into this library. When I return I import the new Library from the trip into my main Aperture LIbraryFile -> Import -> Library/Project

  • Need help setting up Macbook Pro and external hard drive(s)

    I apologize for the vague title but I was limited to so many characters.
    Here's my situation (sorry for being verbose, I just want to be thorough)
    Right now I have a Macbook Pro and a 500 GB external hard drive (Western Digital using USB 2.0 connection). I've outgrown the external hard drive and am ready to upgrade my external memory.
    Here's my issues right now:
    My iTunes library and music reside on the external hard drive. Using iTunes is painfully, I mean brutally, slow for some reason. For example: if I were to just change the genre of an average album, it takes upwards of 4 or 5 minutes to change the data. Compared to the POS Dell computer I used to run iTunes with (using the same external hard drive), the same task would take 5 seconds at the most. Likewise, if I try to watch a video that resides on that external hard drive right now, it skips and eventually stops because (presumably) the data is transferring extremely slowly. I have no idea, and haven't gotten any real answers, as to why this is happening with the Macbook and/or if using a Firewire connection would improve the speed.
    Taking that into consideration, here's what I would like to do (and ask). I see myself having one 1T external hard drive for all my music and one 1T external hard drive for all my movies and videos. Ideally I would like to be able to access these two hard drives wirelessly with my Macbook and have it transfer the data very quickly - as it should IMO. Certainly a lot faster than it is now.
    I would love to just be able to hook my Macbook up to my main stereo and run iTunes through it without having to lug around and messily connect the external hard drive which contains all the music. As well as being able to hook my Macbook up to the stereo and LCD monitor and be able to watch a video, again without the hassle of having to connect the external hard drive - which as I said prior, appears to transfer the data way too slowly anyway.
    Any suggestions on what external hard drives I should get and any other hardware/software I need to run them wirelessly would be gratefully welcomed.
    Thanks in advance (and I apologize for the long winded post)

    Obviously, FireWire is a fast connection, but for changing metadata, USB is plenty fast. Why it takes so long is anyones guess. Is it a USB 2.0 drive? Using external drives can be tricky. My father uses them for his gigantic library of almost 80,000 songs. When you have it setup properly, it works fine, but if you say forgot to have the external drive mounted when you launch iTunes, iTunes defaults the library back to your Music folder, then when you start importing, it puts in on the internal drive, then you have to go back and reset it, etc. Problem, with iTunes alone, you can only set one library, so if you want to use two drives, you will have to have one set at any given time.
    So you could set the music one first, add to the library, then set it for movies, then add those to the library. Then keep the library set to the one you use most frequently, so you don't have to always switch. Once you import all media, and iTunes "knows" where to find the files, you can play them with no problems with two drives.
    For wireless, you have a couple choices. If you have two Macs, you could keep one connected to the two drives, then with the other computer, just connect to the network and share the iTunes library so your other computer has access. If you want the music stored on a drive accessible wireless, you'll probably have to look to NAS, or some form of wireless storage. If you do that, their may even be a better third party software solution other than iTunes for managing multiple libraries.
    This is something iTunes really needs. As libraries grow, one drive just isn't enough often.

  • MacBook Pro and 27" Display not playing nice together

    I'm having a rather strange problem with my Early 2011 MacBook Pro and my 27" Apple Display (Mini-Display port). They don't want to play nice together. The display will randomly/intermittently disconnect and turn black, then reconnect, sometimes after a second or so, but sometimes not for a good 10 seconds or more.
    - My MBP works fine on other monitors (Thunderbolt 27", 24" LG via DVI adaptor).
    - My wife's MBP works fine on this monitor.
    - Had a tech look at the monitor, his MacBook works on it fine too.
    - The combination of my MBP and this 27" Apple Display gives you the result shown in the video.
    It happens quite frequently -- often enough to make working on this combination unbearable. But I have no clue as to what's going on here.
    In "System Information" under "Graphics / Displays", the display not show up as connected to either the PCIe or Built-In graphics adapter when the 27" has turned black. When the screen is on, it shows up.
    Here's a YouTube video of the symptoms.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0C50k0189I
    I'm stumped. Does anyone have any ideas?

    Your video shows the MacBook Pro display turning blue for a few seconds, several different times. This is an acknowledgement that a display is coming (or going).
    Unencumbered by anything sensible, my diagnosis would be that you have a loose connection.
    Mini DisplayPort cables can be diabolical. When inserting, you must make certain that essentially ALL of the metal end disappears inside the computer jack.

  • Macbook Pro and Thunderbolt display day to day work question

    I have a late 2013 15 inch Retina Macbook Pro and recently bought a Thunderbolt display.
    When I'm in my office I use it on the display don't have the display anytime I'm not in the office.
    Given the larger pixel dimension on the display, when I'm in the office and use the display, I'm having to re-size windows constantly to make maximum use of the real estate.
    Are there any settings on the Macbook Pro and/or the Thunderbolt Display where without having to adjust I can have windows maximize the available real estate?  Thanks.

    I kind of figured this out. The reason I wasn't satisfied was that without the power adaptor when you hit a button on the keyboard the monitor actually wakes up the computer, works fine for a few seconds and then puts the computer to sleep. That kind of proves that it does work, technically at least. The problem is going into sleep mode afterwards.
    Anyway i guess it just doesnt work. Thanks.
    ps. If there is a way of discharging the battery with software while the power adaptor was still on, would be great help.

  • New MacBook Pro and 30" display - resolution wrong

    Just got new MBP with Snow Leopard. Had 30" Cinema Display connected to old mbp with dual DVI (at least, I think that's what it is - I'm not connector/adapter literate). Since there was no port for the multi-pin part of the adapter I called Apple support, who told me I needed "dual link DVI cable" - she told me it sells for about $10. The Apple store Genius told me I already had a dual link DVI cable, based on the fact that the display worked with my old mbp and that I needed a Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter, which cost $29. Hooked it up and 30" display came to life, but the maximum resolution available in system preferences is 1280 x 800. I really need the full resolution for work. Can anyone give me a solution or will I have to go back to the Apple store tomorrow?

    Thanks. That was exactly what I needed. I'm a little disappointed with the initial tech support solution and the genius at the store. I've never been steered wrong by apple support before.

  • Macbook Pro and External Monitor flashing?

    I am using a Macbook Pro with an External Dell 1908fp 19" monitor via a Thunderbolt to DVI adaptor all fine.
    However the annoying niggle I have is that the monitor which seems fine, keeps flashing intermittently on and off randomly?!?
    Would anyone know why this is happening and if its the Mac's fault? I have the MBP open and the Monitor as the 2nd screen at 1440x900 which it seems to have defaulted to, and its very clear on both screens.
    Is my monitor on its way out? it seems ok, and is quite new (though it was 2nd hand a couple of years ago) or is this a known Apple issue?
    Thanks for any help

    The graphics card in the MBP supports resolutions far greater than that of the internal display, so any modern monitor will work fine - up to and including Apple's excellent (but pricey) Thunderbolt display and Cinema display.
    The MBP will detect the external display and set the image to the correct resolution automatically, or you can choose the resolution in System Preferences -> Displays, so you don't need to worry about a black border.
    Most modern monitors are 1080p and this works perfectly as an external display for a MBP.  You will need a mini-displayport to HDMI cable to connect the two.  If you get a monitor with built in speakers then that cable will also transfer audio.

  • Macbook pro 17 external display.Amazing machine had it for 2 days n Love it

    hay a quick question
    ive got a new unibody macbook pro 17 (its amazing i love this beast) and a Samsung external display which is a 24inch and im having trouble sorting out the size and resolution with the computer and the display as the laptop thinks the external display is smaller than the laptops display and thus means that the resolution on the display is higher which is just annoying.
    Any ideas on know how to change this so its either the same as the laptop or fits better and is the correct size?
    if its any help im connected via the mini display port to dvi and the input to the tv is dvi-d and it also has HDMI input if it helps

    Is the monitor a monitor, or an HDTV?
    If it's an HDTV with a DVI input on it, them I'm willing to bet it's only a 720, since most HDTV's don't jump to 1080 until you get above 32".
    I've got a 24" Optiquest monitor on my work PC and it runs at 1900x1200, but it's a true computer monitor.
    I've hooked a laptop up to my 52" Samsung HDTV, and it would only do 1900x1200 (which could be a limitation of the video card).

  • Macbook Pro Retina External Display Audio

    I am looking to get a Macbook Pro Retina 13" and I want to connect an external monitor to use as my primary display when at my desk.  How would I get audio to work when my Macbook is closed and I am just using the external display.  (Using DVI-D cable)

    I have a new rMBP 15 and I am having a major problem with hooking up to external projection systems. Otherwise, it's a fantastic computer for running Windows (required for work) and Mac, my preference.
    I have to often hook up to an external projector at various companies for presentations and I never know which type of projector they will have. Most are VGA and and most do not work with the Apple TB-VGA because it sees them as 640x480. I finally found a solution with an "active" VGA adaptor from Cirago:
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005AT2KTK/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&p sc=1
    However, now that I have higher resolution the image is blurry much like the OP but even worse and not usable. I am going to experiment with various settings I have found on other posts and forums, but most are specific to a fixed setup, whereas I need plug&play and don't have the time to fiddle with settings before each presentation.
    My fear is that I may have to abandon the rMBP and revert to my old clunker DELL, due only to this one major issue issue.

  • MacBook Pro sees external display but no output

    13" MacBook Pro 2.3 Intel i5  8gb ram 500gb hybrid Hdd OS X 10.7.4 Thunderbolt port
    mini display port to DVI and with HDMI adapter works fine
    mini DP to VGA adapter will see VGA monitor (tested on 5 different monitors) but will not display anything on external display. Newer displays just go into power saving mode and older VGA displays just are blank. Even tried DVI to VGA adapter on mini DP to DVI adapter with same issue. I'm guessing I have no analog output from the DP port. tried the SMC and PRAM reset with no results.

  • MacBook Pro with external display sometimes

    I want to use my MacBook Pro with my external display (Apple 23 inch Cinema) when I'm at my office, and to have Spaces set up and optimized for that. When I'm at home or on the road, I want Spaces set up differently, optimized for the MacBook Pro display only (no external display). Can I do this? Do I need to set up separate accounts on the MBP to do this, or can I do it some other way? Can you have sets, or multiple instances of Spaces? Otherwise, I want both options -- at work with MBP display plus Apple 23 inch Cinema or MBP display only -- to be able to access all of my files and software. The only real difference in the two setups would be the amount of screen real estate and where/how Spaces works within these different screen "landscapes."

    You will always have to use the power button to turn it on, and you'll have to open the display for that.
    Apple supports using the machine with its display closed, provided you follow the instructions in this article. As long as you do that, it shouldn't cause any harm. But I wouldn't recommend seeing how hot you can get the MBP with the display closed.
