Macbook Pro won't work with View Sonic projector

I have the new Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion.  Just got a View sonic PJD 5352 projector and it won't see it.  I am not sure what is happening.  I checked and the projector is compatible with mac.  When I plug in the projector to the macbook pro the screen gets smaller which is normal I guess cause the ratio is different but I can't get the projector to see the mac and the mac gets the pinwheel of death and I can't do anything with it.
At a loss. 

Thanks for the input. Yes, I've driven the 23" with another Mac. I took the laptop back to the shop today. Hopefully they can resolve the issue.

  • Macbook Pro won't work with external display?

    The very first time I connected my brand new Macbook Pro to my 23" Cinema Display the laptop screen displayed mostly static, though the external monitor continued to work. The computer was sent to Apple for repair. Apple replaced the logic board. Though the nature of the problem changed following the "repair" (the Macbook's screen now goes dark instead of displaying noise) the laptop still will not drive the external monitor successfully without multiple re-starts. I've experimented with turning the sleep mode on and off as well as the screen saver. No effect. Is anyone using this set up successfully or is there some fatal design flaw in the Macbook Pro? System 1.4.8, 2 gigs RAM. Thanks.

  • Macbook Pro won't work with HP print server n2101?

    Hi all, happy New Year.  I have a new Macbook Pro and I am trying to hook it up to my HP print server n2101 and my HP psc 2210 all-in-one printer.  The mac recognises the server (and vice versa), the mac prints when connected directly to the printer but the server refuses to connect with the mac (keeps showing 'idle')  Anyone have any ideas how to fix it?  Very disappointed as all things mac usually work with no probs!

    Hi, I used the Mac setup instructions, not the PC ones.  The printer was automatically recognised in print and scan when I connected it with a USB cable.  I accessed the server's web-based page and followed all the instructions, but still no joy.  Thanks for the tip about posting.  I have just posted in the section you suggested, so let's see what happens.  From a quick scan around the apple forums, lost of other people seem to having precisely the same problem (and not just with HP printers!), but unfortunately, no-one seems to be offering a solution!  And trying to get through to the apple online support is a complete waste of time.  They've been 'not available' for two days now.  Christmas/New Year shutdown, I suppose.  Thanks for all your help, though!

  • New Macbook Pro won't work with Snow Airport

    I am trying to connect my new Macbook pro with an old airport snow.
    The macbook can see the airport's network, but everytime I try and connect to it there's an error.
    I can connect to the airport via the ethernet, but if I try to use the assistant for the snow/graphite models it says i don't have a airport card installed. Which I do.
    Is it possible to connect my new macbook with this older airport. Or is my computer to new for this old wireless router?
    Any ideas??

  • My Macbook Pro won't print with my HP Photosmart 7515. I get the following message, " Print file was not accepted" Printer does work with our PC??

    My Macbook Pro won't print with my HP Photosmart 7515. I get the following message, " Print file was not accepted" Printer does work with our PC?? Checked for software updates and are none. Talked with HP help and they say it's an Apple problem

    I noticed that you said you uninstalled the printer, but you didn't mention resetting the print system.  Resetting the print system will reset the drivers the Mac has installed and make them work like they should.  Give this a try and see if it gets the printer working like it should.  The document below will expalin more about doing this.
    Basic Printer Troubleshooting Steps for Mac
    If that doesn't help, see if you are using the AirPrint driver, or the printers driver.  By default 10.8 uses the AirPrint driver if the printer supports it, so I'm betting that's the driver you're using.  If it is, try using the driver for the printer itself.  To do this, access Print and Scan.  Click the + sign to add a new printer.  Select the printer from the list.  Click the dropdown next to Use and select the 7515's driver.  Let me know what happens.

  • MacBook Pro won't sync with other devices

    My MacBook pro won't sync with other devices in the house.  My iPad and iPhone sync OK but MacBook won't for some reason.  Can you help?

    Sign into your account in iTunes - from that page you should be able to deauthorise ALL 5 authorised computers - supposedly you can do this once a year.
    Thereafter any devices you no longer have will be deauthorised, and you can reauthorise those you still have or are new.

  • Macbook Pro won't boot with external HDD plugged

    I have a weird problem. My late 2008 Macbook Pro won't start with external HDD plugged either FW or USB... The screen stays white until I unplug it and then the Apple logo is there.
    Anyone know any solution for this? Or anyone have the same problem

    yeah I had the exact same issue with one of my 750GB externals too. I just left it for a while (about an hour or so) and it was fine..
    I believe its so slow because the system is indexing the drive, which can be a very slow process if the drive is big, has a complex folder-hierarchy, and/or is fragmented.
    Does the hard-drive appear quite quickly in Finder once OS X has started up? if its slow it may confirm what I've just said.

  • Will my MacBook Pro from 2008 work with the Thunderbolt Display? Or will I need an adapter?

    Will my MacBook Pro from 2008 work with the Thunderbolt Display? Or will I need an adapter? I like to have two monitors and currently using an Cinema Display from 2005. Thanks

    If your computer does not have Thunderbolt you cannot use a Thunderbolt display.  There are no adapters that will help.

    Hello Betty7,
    Please let me take a moment to say "Welcome" to the HP Forums.
    I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I see that you are having an issue with getting the printer reinstalled. 
    I suggest that we start off by running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.  If the Doctor fails, please let me know where it fails as well as any error codes it may generate.
    Thank you for your time.

  • DVD Player on MacBook Pro won't work?

    My DVD player on my MacBook Pro won't work! I can hear the sound of the video, but the actual image won't appear. Plus, I can't watch things on Youtube in full screen anymore because my computer won't show it. And finally, some of my images are very pixelated. I'm getting super frustrated that nothing will work. Please help me!
    -Katie

    Many times, these types of problems can be 'fixed' by using a commerical DVD 'cleaning' kit (usually available at local electronics stores, Amazon, etc.). If 'cleaning' doesn't work, you may have a faulty SuperDrive. But I would try the cleaning method first, beofre taking your machine into an Apple Store or AASP.
    Good luck,

  • Calendar on Macbook Pro won't synch with iCloud

    Calendar on my Macbook Pro won't synch with the Calendar on iCloud. I tried a number of times to delete Calendar from iCloud in System Preferences then restart the laptop. I also switched the 'enable' function on and off in Calendar Preferences. I restarted after every attempt and also refreshed. It looks as if it's updating but then nothing happens and the triangular, exclamation mark appears, grayed out, next to the iCloud icon in Calendar. I saw an answer in the Apple Support troubleshooting section regarding this about the server having to access port 80 or 443. Could this be the problem and if so then how would I make any port accessible to the relevant server? I'm not having this problem with my other devices or computer.

    Hello Wateru,
    Thank you for providing the details of the calendar issue you are experiencing with your MacBook Pro.  You have taken some really good troubleshooting steps already.  I recommend continuing with the steps in the sections titled "General troubleshooting" and  "Troubleshooting on OS X" in the following article:

  • My Macbook pro won't sync with my iPad. It says it isn't authorised.  I have gone as far as deauthorizing all computers then authorizing the Macbook & still no luck.  Any ideas?

    My Macbook pro won't sync with my iPad. It says it isn't authorised.  I have gone as far as deauthorizing all computers then authorizing the Macbook & still no luck.  Any ideas?

    Sorry, not sure how to screenshot on my computer, but this is what is says word for word:-
    The Ipad could not b synced because the computer is not longer authorised for purchased items that are on this ipad.
    To authorise this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store, choose Store>Authorise this computer.
    I have done all of that but not luck.  That's when I tried deauthorising all computer which it did ok.  I then authorised my Macbook pro again, it said I had one computer now authorised.  I tried to delete apps via Itunes then sync to my iPad, but the above message keeps popping up & it wont do what I want.

  • Bluetooth in MacBook Pro won't pair with anything

    Hello all.  I have two MacBook Pros, each about 6 months old.  They are both running the latest version of Lion.  Neither one will pair with any bluetooth device.  I always get an error message saying "this device does not have the necessary services".  What does this mean, and how can I fix it? 
    I have a Canon printer that won't pair, and I thougth it was just a compatibility issue until I tried to pair a Jawbone Jambox (which used to pair), and a brand new Bose portable speaker.  I get the same message every time. 
    Bluetooth on the computer finds the device,  but can't go through with the pairing.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Jadrb

    I just got a Creative D100 bluetooth speaker and am having the exact same problem you had. Speaker pairs just fine with my ipad, but won't work with MacBook giving me same "This device does not have the necessary services" error message. Have you found a solution yet?

  • Macbook pro won't boot with two new 4GB RAM sticks.

    I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro. It came with two 2GB RAM sticks. After downloading Lion, my computer started to get sluggish so I thought I would upgrade the ram. I bought two 4GB Corsair RAM sticks and tried to install them. My computer will boot up if I install one of the new 4GB sticks and leave an old 2GB stick; but it won't boot with both of the new 4GB sticks. Any ideas?
