MacBookPro external video with bootcamp issue

I need some help figuring out how to use an external DVI monitor while running bootcamp xp pro. I have connected a monitor and an external keyboard and tried rebooting with it connected and also just closing the laptop, but cannot get any video to appear on the external screen. Is it possible running bootcamp? Would appreciate any help getting it going, thanks.

Hi ...
What external monitor are you connecting to? I presume you are using a miniDP to DVI dongle from the Apple Store.
In XP (SP3), right click your desktop and go to the Display Settings. You should see two display boxes labelled ( 1 ) and ( 2 ). The second should be your external. Click it.
Under the display area are some check-boxes, including one to "Extend" your display. Check this box.
You may need to move the slider to set the resolution as well.
When done, click the Apply button. Remember to accept the changes within the timeout window for them to be applied.
Your display should be recognized and light up. If not, ensure the display power is turned on.
XP is not as intuitive as Vista or Win7, so it doesn't always detect monitor changes on the fly. You may need to reboot to have the XP system configure itself for dual displays.
If that still doesn't work, check your Display Settings after the reboot to ensure the second display has Extended checked and the resolution you set.

  • I have Adobe Elements 9 and I used to be able to export HD 1080p videos with no issue. But recently, when I export using H.264 MPEG or MPEG 2, which I normally used, the high resolution videos come out very choppy.  How can i fix this?

    Are you running the 9.0.1 Update of the program and on what computer operating system is it running?
    Is your video card/graphics card driver up to date according to the manufacturer of the card?
    Is your computer optimized, including maintenance of pile ups of preview files, conformed audio files, and conformed video files?
    Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1?
    What are your project settings and what are the properties of your source media? When you say that "used to be able to export...." is that on the same computer, same brand/model/settings for the camera recording the video now in use, same Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1?
    Where player are you using for the playback of these exports?
    Please give us more details on the size of the projects (then and now) as well as details of the customized export settings in your Share/Computer/ route. Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 is only a 32 bit application running in 32 bit or 64 bit system. Not sure if computer resources might be taxed more so now than before.
    More later.

  • External Monitor with Bootcamp

    I am running Bootcamp on my MBP (Leopard 10.5.2). Is it possible to run a second monitor in the Windows partition? I am running XP Pro, SP2. I tried plugging in a monitor, but it didn't seem to recognize that it was there. Am I doing something wrong, or is it not possible? Thanks in advance.
    Charles

    I have found a solution on my MBP after reading a lot of threads. I have the 15-inch 2.5GHz version with the nVidia graphics card. In Windows XP using BootCamp, the nVidia driver was installed and has a task tray icon in the lower-right of the screen. You have several choices with the options when right-clicking on this icon to get your LCD Projector or whatever else to work. Here are 2 solutions (you must have the LCD or TV connected to the video port on the Mac :
    1. Right-click the nVidia icon in the task tray. Highlight 'nView Display Settings' and then 'Dualview'. You can click on 'Laptop Display + <the model of your LCD>' to have the nVidia utility switch your laptop to extend the desktop. You will have your main desktop on your laptop screen and a blank screen on the LCD. You can drag windows to the right of your laptop desktop screen and they will move over to the LCD screen.
    2. Right-click the nVidia icon in the task tray. Highlight 'nView Display Settings' and then 'Single display'. If you click the model of your LCD projector or TV in the list, the laptop display will go blank and the screen will switch to the LCD giving you what you want by toggling the display as normal in Windows. You will need to work with the resolution settings as the switch seems to have its own independent settings than the normal Windows desktop.
    Hope this helps!

  • Link external Video with Movie Clip

    Hello all. I captured audio with an external recorder and would like to know how to link it with the clip in the timeline? I currently have them all sync up and would like to have them linked so they are locked and place and any changes in the timeline clips, reflects to the audio file as well. I have tired Shift L and also Apple L and none seem to lock both together. Any help or info appreciated. THanks
    Hector

    If the video and the audio are in the timeline selecting both the video track and the audio track and pressing Cmd-L will link them. If they are in the browser with marked in points you can use the merge clip function.

  • Can you install windows 8.1 on external hd with bootcamp ?

    is this possible ? can i have an external hd usb 3.0 running windows 8.1 instead of splitting my macbook hd to run windows side

  • External Monitor with Bootcamp (and Windows Vista Business)

    It looks like this has been discussed quite a bit already, but as a computer neophyte I've had a hard time deciphering an answer that applies to my unique circumstance. So apologies if some of you've already been over this.
    Anyway, here's my question/problem:
    My second monitor (Gateway HD2250) doesn't work when I'm using Bootcamp (Windows Vista Business). I'm running a VGA cord from the Gateway monitor to a VGA adapter that's plugged in to the back of my Mac. My computer's a late '06 iMac w/ Mac OS X 10.5.5. BTW, my virtual Windows does seem to register the second monitor; it's just that nothing shows up on the Gateway screen.
    Ideas for help? Thanks everyone!!

    I managed to get an upgrade version of XP to run by using the internal DVD drive for the main all disc and an external DVD drive for my qualifying disc. Has to be that way round because the Apple keyboard ceases to function for a while and the required USB windows keyboard dosen't have an eject button. The whole business was very painful however, trying to get the installer restarts to select the correct drive each time.

  • Mac mini usb 3.0 and external drive with Sleep issue

    I have now a new mini with USB3.0.
    I attached an external sharkoon sata quickport h3.
    If i use an USB 2 cable everything is fine.
    When i use USB 3 cable then after sleep, OSX says that the external drive was not properly dismounted....

    So, i tried an external USB3 2,5" harddrive and it works directly on the mini.
    When i plug this drive to the sharkoon, it doesn't work.
    So it seems that the USB3 Hub of sharkoon isn't working properly with the power managament of osx.

  • Flash fails to play videos with hangul (korean) strings.

    GOMTV just started the first StarCraft 2 GSL, and I've been watching VODs as I'm in North America and don't want to stay up until 7am every night. Thankfully GOM is giving away VODs, all you have to do is register at gomtv.net.
    The issue is that some VODs fail to ever start streaming. For example, this one: http://www.gomtv.net/videos/1030/0
    I just figured out that the few VODs that refuse to stream are the ones that have Hangul (the written form of Korean) in the title of the match. I do not think this is ArchLinux specific, as Flash on my Ubuntu machine behaves the exact same way. The Location bar in FireFox says "Waiting for 211.43.144.xxx", which is one of GOM's servers, but it never actually loads. I also know it doesn't effect the Windows version of Flash, as my friend watched these videos with no issue.
    Anyone else counter this as well?

    I've tracked down the file that the GOMTV player grabs, which is possibly what's causing the error. The URL is http://www.gomtv.net/gox/flash_channel. … dseq=10159
    I can't think of a simple way to fix this, GreaseMonkey won't affect it since the URL itself is fetched from within Flash, not FireFox.

    On the Digital Production BUZZ podcast I often hear ads for Black Magic Design's Intensity card. It is only $249 and allows you to monitor your HDV edit on an HDTV via an HDMI cable.

  • Issues using macbook with bootcamp and external apple monitor

    I am having issues using an apple external monitor connected to my macbook with bootcamp - in particular, if i connect the monitor to the computer when the computer is already on, it won't work. Also, when i disconnect the monitor fromt he computer, the computer screen will go black and I'll have to re-start
    Anybody experienced the same and can help?
    Thx

    just make sure that while its standing on its side there aren't any plugs or cables on that side. I'm not familiar with the mb port setup, but having power, two usb, and a display cable could prose a problem for sideward standing if they are on separate sides of the machine.
    as the first commenter mentioned the orientation of your computer is irrelevant, but you wouldn't want to have the weight of the laptop sitting ontop of a usb or video plug that's coming out the side.

  • Timeline and External Video issues

    Have an issue with output. My external video is not showing up to play from the timeline. I am getting neither audio or video. Have checked all firewire ports, used 2 different monitors, 2 different decks, 2 different firewire cable and even tried it without the external hard drive. It shows in the view menu that all frames are checked and the output is set to the correct monitor. Refreshing the external devices does not work either. Ran FCP Rescue. Still did not fix the problem. The Canvas window is sized to fit in the window. Capturing video and audio works great. Just output and monitoring it while editing. Can I get an answer. It is the latest FCP, 6.0.2. Is this a problem with the new quicktime 7.3.1?
    This is an emergency. Any help would be appreciated.

    You can't monitor SD without a 3rd party card.
    Perhaps you mean the material is DV?
    You don't send DV material directly to a monitor - you send it out via firewire to some sort of DV/analog conversion then to a monitor.
    Perhaps your post was not clear?

  • After upgrading to mountain lion i keep getting an error message saying my startup disc is full. it shouldnt be full because there is barely anything on there and i was running windows with bootcamp prior to this with no issues

    after upgrading to mountain lion i keep getting an error message saying my startup disc is full. it shouldnt be full because there is barely anything on there and i was running windows with bootcamp prior to this with no issues. my computer now freezes and programs close randomly. The usual command for opening windows with bootcamp doesnt work. once in restarted my computer after it froze and it rebooted in windows automatically. i really just want to know if there is a way to take the upgrade off my laptop because it is very annoying.

    Hi Memalyn
    Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
    My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
    If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
    Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
    Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.

  • Edit in external editor with lightroom adjustments issue LR5 and PS CC

    Since several days when I try (in Lightroom) 5 to edit an adjusted file (NEF, JPEG or TIFF) in Photoshop CC as external editor (with the option "edit a copy with lightroom adjustments") in many cases the adjustments ar not visible in photoshop CC, or only partial visible, and sometimes the file opens not at all. Removal of the preference files of LR 5 and PS CC and  a whole new installation of LR 5 didn't resolve the issue. I have a macbookPRO with Mac OS 10.8.5 and the most recent versions of LR 5 and PS CC. Has anyone experienced this problem and what can be a solution.

    I have no idea, but have you tried File / Catalog Settings/ General tab: Relaunch and Optimize. Relates to the database.

  • Problem With External Video

    I am currently running Final Cut Pro 5.1.2 on OS X 10.4.8. I am having some serious issues trying to get Final Cut to display the timelines video out to my TV. I have my Canon GL2 connected via FireWire, and set it up so the DV input plays as the audio/video. It then goes out to the TV via some standard RCA jacks. I have done this before, no problem.
    The settings are as follows:
    External Video: All Frames
    Video Playback: Apple FireWire NTSC (720x480)
    Audio Playback: Audio Follows Video
    Sequence Preset: DV NTSC 48 kHz
    Capture Preset: DV NTSC 48 kHz
    Device Control Preset: FireWire NTSC Basic
    If I turn the camera off, the output shows it as 'missing'. I can import using the camera so I know its connected correctly with the FireWire. I can see playback on the TV if I watch the tape, so I know that too is connected correctly.

    Its funny you should reply, I was just looking through my posts, and was reading a response you left months ago when I asked a question, then I came back to this post and there you were again! Thanks, I fiddled with the camera for a bit and finally did something to get it to show up. Marked as solved.

  • Scrubbing problems with external video turned on

    I recently upgraded to Tiger and using FCP vers 4.5. When my external video is on and viewing on my NTSC monitor, I have a very irritating problem. Whenever I use the keyboard to play in reverse or scrub by holding down the J and K keys at the same time for slow play, the image stutters and drops frames. Also, the Viewer or Canvas display will also periodically black out for a second or two. When I scrub with the mouse, I don't see this problem. It's only when using the keyboard.
    When I turn off external video, everything is fine. I've never had this problem in the past with my system. The only thing that's changed is Tiger and Quicktime 7 Pro. I have done all the upgrades and threw away all FCP preference files.
    I'm stumped. Anyone else having the same problem?
    By the way, video plays fine when in external video mode. Laid off a project last night, no issues or dropped frames.

    Oh my goodness I'm having the same problem! Recently I upgraded to Quicktime 7.0.3 but did some Security Updates as well and thought I was up the creek. I'm on FCP 4.5, OS X 10.3.9 and noticed the same backwards stuttering. Thank you so much for putting your solution on there, I will try it first thing when I get to work tomorrow!
