Macbook sees projector but nothing displayed

My macbook 2.0GHz automatically detects the sanyo projector, but the projector shows nothing and after awhile goes to sleep because of no signal. They're connected using Mini-DVI to VGA adater. My older Powerbook G4 works fine. I've tried changing the resolutions in display preferences, tried mirroring, tried restarting with projector connected. Any solutions?

Is the cable run between the Mac and the projector inordinately long, or is a standard length, 1.8 meter VGA cable being used?

Macbook detects monitor, but nothing is displayed

Hello everyone,
I just recently bought a mini-dvi to dvi cable so i can use my 24 inch westinghouse monitor as an external monitor.
The macbook detects the monitor but nothing shows up on monitor, i've tried putting my macbook to sleep and changing the resolution settings but i've had no luck.
does anyone have any advice? The adapter is brand new from my school's computer store, so I'm sure that isn't the problem.
Any help would be great!
Cheers
Jason

I have this same problem with my MacBook and a Hanns-G 17" widescreen monitor I just purchased. (I had a previous Acer 20.1" widescreen monitor that I actually returned because I couldn't get it to work and figured it was a problem with the monitor; months later, I'm trying this other one and coming across the same issues.)
It is detected, but nothing is displayed, which sounds pretty much like the same problem. I suppose it could be my adapter (which I'll test as soon as I find someone else who has a mini-DVI out port), but I'm afraid it might be my MacBook, which would be unfortunate considering I'm out of my 90 days of phone service and I live literally hours away from the nearest Apple Store, and not very much closer to an authorized repair center.
Oh, also: I'm using OS X 10.4.11, not Leopard (yet...), if it makes a difference.
If anyone has any more ideas, I also would love to hear them. Thanks!

Macbook turns on, but nothing on the screen

I had my macbook pro last september for my birthday, and until last night it had been working properly. but just tonight it won't start up! when i held the power button, the screen stays black although there is this normal sound when mbp's starting. I blind my way and click randomly (hoping to choose the username like i used to) and then the screen's all white-and-gray thing. Any idea why, and how, to fix this? also how much would it cost? thanks

nothing, my mouse just stops at the edge of my screen. but i have it mirrored. when i turn mirror off then my mouse goes of the screen but nothing happens on the display. i am going to take it in to the store tonight and see if they can send it back and fix it.
thanks

Adobe "Shapes" destroyed my display. No reset, no reboot. iTunes sees phone but no display. Off to Apple store.

I attempted using the new Adobe "Shapes" app and my screen went white. I tried shutting app with home button. Screen went black. Siri worked but no display. Tried reset with both buttons - screen totally dead and iTunes reload firmware, sees phone, still no display.

Hi ronrabun,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the screen on the iPhone is blank. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

Firefox can access the website but nothing displays yet google chrome works, what gives?

i can access the login page and supply my id and passwd and then it appears to be going well according to the info bar at the bottom but nothing ever displays. if i let it sit long enough for my session to expire the expiration warning box pops up. i click okay but nothing ever displays. firefox vers 3.6.10, google chrome vers 6.0.472.63 works without issue. i've deleted all my history and cookies and no change. any help or suggestions appreciated.

i had already did this but in the spirit of cooperation i went thru it again. funny thing is, firefox in safe mode won't even display the log in page yet regular firefox will. so safe mode isn't buying me anything. so for now i google chrome my netzero mail and firefox everything else. very frustrating. as a side note this issue is mirrored on my windows 7 enterprise laptop for work. i use the same "workaround" there too. additionally all other webmail accounts are fine(yahoo, hotmail, etc...). thanx for the reply though. any help is appreciated.

HT1386 I deleted all my photos in the Camera Roll folder,I created separate folders containing all my pisctures. When I sync my iPhone it shows that all the pictures are loaded. But nothing displays on my phone?

Hey Guys,
I need some advice. I had about 9000 pitures and photos in my camera roll folder.
I wanted to manage all these pictures into separate folders for easier access.
I imported all the pictures onto my pc, and created and managed the pics.
I synced the phone and excluded the photos,as advised on the site.
The I disconnected the phone, connected again and included the pictures.
On the coclour tab it indicates that all the pictures are there, after syncing,
but on my phone, nothing appears.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there another way of importing my pictures
onto the phone and keeping the separate folders?
Thanks,

If you don't find an iTunes backup as suggested above, another possibility is that the phone was setup to automatically back up to iCloud. You can go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage to see if your device name is listed there. If it is, the section titled "How do I restore an iCloud Backup if my device is already set up for use?" in the following link gives directions on how to resore it: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4036
Also, I'm sorry to hear you lost 5 years of pictures. Having them in one place (as you unfortunately found out) is not a good idea as all kinds of things can happen including loss of the phone. If you have a computer it is a good idea to periodically import them to the computer where you can see that they have successfully transferred to a second location. Following is instructions on how to do that if you want to in the future: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083

Quicktime loads, shows on taskbar, but nothing displays on screen.

To add more detail to this, I am having problems with Quicktime.
I have a single display system. Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit..
I have an 8800GT set to single display mode. I have never run a second monitor on it, and have made 0 recent changes to that configuration.
So when I load Quicktime, I see it showing on the taskbar, Quicktime shows up for a brief moment.. and then completely disappears. I do not have an auto hidden taskbar, it has not been minimized anywhere, it does not minimize to the system tray, etc.
I have also used programs and features to completely remove it, restarted the pc, then reinstalled it only to have the exact same issue. I have also used the quicktime installer to remove it, which also removed the registry entries, and then rebooted and reinstalled, yet I have the same issue!
I have no other issues with my pc at all. I'm a tech, so I know these things, but something is escapting me here..
I have also used the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility as well, but that also did not resolve the issue.
Quicktime was originally running just fine, but some people in a game called Secondlife which has streaming videos in it by going through Quicktime were having issues seeing a certain musician stream a video from his location. So I tried reinstalling to see what would happen, and ever since I have been having this problem.
Any guesses? Anyone have the same issue?

I am having the exact same problem.
Not only does QuickTime show up on the taskbar, I can select it as the current app. I can use keyboard shortcuts when it is selected (i.e. Ctrl+O for open). But the QT app is never visible on my screen (except for a split second during startup). Interestingly, and dialogs bring up by way of keyboard shortcuts are visible, but the actual QT window is not.

What's wrong with this program, nothing displays.
