MacBook Pro Early 2015 with Dell DisplayPort 1.2 / MST monitor.

I am trying to use a Early 2015 MacBook Pro with a Dell U2715H monitor in DP1.2 mode so I can use the MST support in my new MacBook to daisy chain 2 of these screens together. However it doesn't work. Daisy chaining without DP1.2 enabled results in the displays being mirrored and only 1 display being detected by the laptop. Enabling DP1.2 on the screen connected to the laptop causes the screen to go blank and it for it to detect no signal. Even without they daisy chained. The first monitor is always detected by the laptop but in no configuration does the 2nd one ever show up.
This feature seems to be advertised as working both on the monitor and on the laptop but I am not having much luck with it Is the laptop buggy? Is the monitor? Is it both of them?

I have the same setup as you, only with a late 2013 MBP.  I experience the same problem as you.  From what I've been able to gather, OS X does not support Display Port 1.2 MST.  Even though this works with Apple's own displays, and now that it works with the new Dell 5K displays in 10.10.3, Apple has not enabled this functionality for daisy chaining two displays together.
It is a little angering, as Apple's devices are DP 1.2 compatible, but they purposely disable this feature.  I am not sure what their reasoning is for this.
All we can do is hope they enable this in a future update, as I think it is a software limitation.
In the mean time, I have been running one U2715H on DisplayPort, and another on HDMI, as this leaves and additional thunderbolt port available for the ethernet adapter.

  • Brand new Macbook Pro (early 2015) with upgraded ram lagging in the simplest tasks

    I received a brand new 13 inch macbook pro (early 2015) with upgraded ram (16 gb) about two weeks ago. I was expecting it to do tasks faster than its predecessors (the macbook pro which came directly before it, which my father owns, and the early 2009 which is now a family computer), but became dissapointed when it began crashing basically as soon as i started using final cut pro, and ever since it has been lagging everywhere else! I have check my activity monitor regulary due to this issue and have noticed "kernel_task" taking a large percentage of CPU (when im not using the computer all that much around 10%) and it uses 1.5gb of ram upwards constantly without fail! I am aware that this is the operating system so i dont really want to fiddle around with it but it does sound a little bit high to me. Originally it was slightly tougher work on final cut that would crash it, hence why i haven't seriously questioned it until now, but currently i cannot even move my curser around without getting the spinning beach ball of death! Please help me!

    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.

  • MacBook Pro (early 2008) with Dell monitor

    I'm looking into buying an additional monitor for next year at college. I'm looking at the Dell U2211H, because its the only one that has the pivot feature that I need for work, as well as has a TV tuner built in. Does anyone know anything about how this setup would work? For instance, can I have my MBP screen set in landscape mode, and the Dell monitor in portrait mode? Also, the Dell screen resolution is 1920x1080. Is there anywhere to get this resolution on my mac, or will the monitor have to run at 1440x990? Finally, does anyone have any experience switching a monitor back and forth between computer and TV? What kind of work is involved?
    thanks for your help!

    Hi,
    Unfortunately, maximum resolution that could go over HDMI port in OS X is 1080p.
    I bought the same screen couple of weeks ago, and it is working at 2560x1440 only via DispayPort.
    Another thing you macbook pro max resolution support is 1920x1200@60.
    Hope, that helps. Good Luck!

  • Macbook pro early 2011 with amd 6750m

    Hi,
    its a fact that many users have problem with the amd 6750m after some time of use ans Apple replaces the logic board. I tried do discover where is the problem contacting AMD: is it the GPU itself or a soldering?
    Id like to know whats the problem, since my macbook has no more apple care and im facing the problem.
    best regards

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The MacBook Pro has got its GPU soldered, so the whole logic board has to be replaced if the GPU is damaged.
    I have read cases of other Early 2011 MacBooks Pro users with the same problem. It looks like a general issue

  • MacBook Pro Not Working with Dell V715W Printer?

    Hello.  I have a 2010 MacBook Pro 13-inch that's hooked up to a Dell V715W Printer.  I can print out a test page fine, but nothing else.  It always says "Filter Failed." Sometimes, however, a message comes up with a TON of code and details with the subject saying: "CUPSdriver quit unexpectedly."  What should I do to fix this?  Please help me!

    Reset the printing system.  Google for instructions.

  • No audio coming out of MacBook Pro Early 2011 with Mountain Lion

    I just updated my Early 2011 MacBook Pro to Mountain Lion and I am having no problems except for the fact that I have no audio coming out of my computer.. when I turn it up it says that it's all the way up but theres a circle with a line through it like it's muted or something like that. When I click the mute button on my keyboard the line goes through the little speaker picture like it usually does and the cicle with the line is still there but then when I unmute it and turn it up it's still all the way up with the circle and line. Any ideas?
    Here's a screenshot of it:

    Same issue with the same model.  I restarted and the problem went away.  Hopefully it will stay away.

  • I have a Macbook Pro Early 2011, with 10.7.5 that recently started freezing.

    I have run disk verification and repair.  I have tried resetting the SMS with that- hold down cmd, opt, shift and power at start up trick.  I have deleted tons of files that were a waste of space.  The problem started after trying to run time machine to reaccess my internet history. I deleted the history and then realized that I wanted it again and I used time machine to recover it. That was around the time it started freezing up.  Also, another culprit could be my email... I accedentally set my email account to active on my school profile and recieved tons of emails at once. I tried deleting them, but many of them gave me an error message and wouldn't let me delete.  Then my computer started freezing up... I don't know what was the culprit, but maybe these clues help?
    Also, I am wondering if I upgrade to the free Maverick OS if this has a chance at fixing the problem.  ?
    Please help! It's been several days now and I am trying to get my school work done.  If all else fails I will take it to the Apple Store.

    Try resetting the  SMC http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964

  • MacBook Pro (Early 2015): i7 3.1 vs i5 2.9 - 8 or 16 GB ram

    I'm going to buy the new MacBook Pro and just wondering: i7 3.1 would increase noticebility under normal use and editing photo ?
    I've seen some Geekbench 3 test and often i5 2.9 score similar or better results over i7.
    On battery side i5 would give a more long use over i7 version ?
    How 16 GB would increase overall performance ?
    I need the SSD 512 GB version so the 'debate' is between i7 3.1 vs i5 2.9, as said.

    In very resource intensive applications there will be advantages having more RAM and a faster CPU.  This may be important in a vocational environment, much less so in an avocational one.   !6 GB RAM will help when the Mac needs more than 8 GB RAM, which will only be needed when running resource intensive applications. SSD storage mitigates the need for a large amount of RAM.
    In non resource intensive situations, there will be very little noticeable difference between to MBPs side by side, one with a faster CPU and additional RAM and the other without same.  Geekbench scores are great in the lab and good for bragging rights, but often are not an accurate reflection of 'real world' conditions.
    Bottom line, let your bank account be your guide.  My order of priorities are storage, RAM and then CPU.

  • Macbook Pro late 2011 with Thounderbolt, will it support dual monitors display?

    I have recently working on this Macbook pro, and wasn't able to find accurate information about the dual display solution for this MACBOOKPRO model.
    It has thunderbold port.
    Have anyone happen to have this model and successfully connected with two conventional monitors?
    Conventional monitors I mean, VGA, HDMI, or DVI.
    Thank you.

    Hi O,
    According to MacTracker, the answer is a clear no for the 13" and yes for the 15" and 17".

  • Can't Install windows on Macbook Pro Early 2011 with SSD upgrade

    Dear all,
        A few months ago I had an SSD upgrade and I purchased a Caddy and installed my old HDD on it, and I also changed my Battery because the old one only lasted for 15 inutes after 40 cycles :O
    Anyways when I insert a windows 7 or 8 x64 DVD in my USB Samsung DVD Drive, My mac book detects Windows (with the windows 7 DVD) and Detects Windows and EFI Boot (with Windows 8),  I have tried every option of those doesn't work.
    With EFI it just boots Mac
    With Windows it boots to a screen with one blinking cursor top left and then it ejects the DVD ROM and that it :s
    I do not know what is wrong :/
    P.S. when i installed the SSD I had windows on the old drive it didn't work after the upgrade (this is what made me link both incidents).

    I am willing to try this, but I was kinda trying to find a solution that doesn't need me to unscrew stuff ..etc

  • How install snow in a macbook pro early 2011 with mountain lion? snow leopard original dvd its no support...

    Any solution for this?

    You have to boot the system from the original Snow Leopard DVD. With the DVD inserted in the drive restart the system and nhold down either the Option key, and then select the SNow Leopard DVD from the boot selection screen that comes up, or the C key to boot directly from the DVD drive.
    Once the computer starts from the SL DVD Click the Utilities menu item and select Disk Utility. Once that starts select the top most entry in the keft side, the drive name and size, then the partition tab. Select one partition from the Partition Layout area drop down, Middle area, give it the name Macintosdh HD and format Mac extended (Journaled) and then click the Apply button.
    Once all that is done exit DU and continue with the install.

  • Is it possible to run the Classic Environment INSIDE Rosetta on a MacBook Pro (Early 2008) with Leopard?

    Hi there,
    Rosetta works up until Snow Leopard. The Classic Environment works up until a late version of Tiger. Rosetta makes apps. built for PowerPC Macs work. The Classic Environment make apps. for Mac OS 9 work on Mac OS X for PowerPC Macs.
    Would it consequently be possible to run the Classic Environment INSIDE Rosetta?
    I have read https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2292, but I am still unconvinced unless there is a flaw to my logic. At any rate, I subscribe to the Churchillian adage of never giving in unless the forces of common sense and doctrine dictate otherwise.
    If it won't work, then why?

    Hi there, Klaus1, BDAqua and a brody,
    Thank you ever so much for your kind replies! (I tried giving you the 10 pts. of 'Correct Answers' to each of you, but unfortunately it was only possible for Klaus1, so the points were distributed between him and BDAqua even though you were all helpful!)
    My next question will naturally be: Is SheepShaver legal? My Google search didn't yield any conslusive proof that it was, nor any that it wasn't, but as the E-Maculation web page seemed quite official and above board I would assume that it is.
    The next logical step would be to ask whether it's safe for both HW and SW to run SheepShaver. HW, it appears, is very rarely, if ever, affected by SW settings, so I would assume that hardwarewise, I'm good to go. Could it ruin the kernel of Mac OS X's Unix-based operating system?
    Kind Regards,
    Stefan

    Looks like a RAM failure or maybe another hardware failure.
    Can you take out the battery and with the charger connected start up? Same failure?
    Have you tried the SMC reset and PRAM reset? do both twice.

  • I need to install on macbook pro (early 2008) one hard disk 1 TB. Is it possible? What kind of HD is it better?

    Take a look at what is offered by Mac specialists, such as OWC http://www.macsales.com and see what drives they handle.  Their drives are all guaranteed to be compatible with Macs.  And they have on-line videos that show how to do the installation.
    Even if there are problems getting them to deliver where you live, you can get ideas of what works well with your system.
