MacPro won't detect HP Monitor

I have an HP 2210m monitor that used to work with my MacPro. Now I cannot even detect it. I am still in Lion. The connection is the same. Can you help?

Try connecting the monitor to the mac then turn the monitor with it off the turn it on see if detects, if not try going to system preferences>displays, click detect display.  Hope this helps

  • My MacBook won't detect my monitor

    Help!  I have an I-INC monitor (iH252) and a mini-USB to HDMI adapter cord to connect it to my 2010 MacBook Pro.  However, Detect Displays does nothing, and the monitor tells me "No Signal Input, Check Video Cable" when I turn it on.  Is there some way to force my MacBook to recognize that it is connected to an external display?

    My 2010 13" MacBook Pro isn't detecting my external monitor either, even after resetting PRAM, SMC.  I'm using a mini DVI to DVI adapter.  But my brother's new 2011 17" MacBook Pro works just fine with the exact same setup.  We both have the latest version of OS X Lion.

  • 15" MacbookPro won't detect external monitor.

    I have a MacbookPro and a Samsung external monitor. I have them set up and ready to roll but my MBP wont detect the external monitor, so I can't get the screens to share. Please help me with how to detect and configure this.

    Try resetting the PRAM and the SMC, in that order:

  • MacBook Pro Late 2011 10.7.5 won't detect external monitor

    Hello,
              I have a Macbook Pro Late 2011 13" Running OSX Lion 10.7.5. It won't flash blue at ALL when connected to an external display. Under system report, it shows that the "Link Status" is 7. The same setup works with another MacBook Pro Mid 2009 15 inch. I am under AppleCare, should I take it in? Weird. All firmware updates are completed, no "Air Display" type programs are installed currently, and gfxcardstatus is also installed and doesn't really help.

    Looks like a problem with the GPU (possibly the screen, but it looks more as if it's the GPU). If I were you, I'd take your machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP and have it diagnosed.

  • 2014 Mac Mini won't detect Dell monitor on startup

    On a cold start or waking from sleep it is necessary to reset the PRAM in order for the Mini to recognize a Dell P2014H.  Restarts are not a problem.
    This was not an issue with an older MacBook Pro or an Air at the Genius Bar.  I have resolved this by setting preferences to never turn the display off but don't consider this a permanent fix. 
    I'm running 10.10.1 and connected via VGA to a Thunderbolt port.  The monitor is only 7 months old so I'm not inclined to replace it yet or add even more cables to my collection just to find that doesn't fix anything.  In fact when another 2014 Mini was connected to my monitor at the Apple store it had the same problem.
    On the other hand our 2012 Mini has never had issues with a Dell U2412M.   So what's up Apple?

    I just bought a Mac Mini with latest operating system 10.10.1 and had the same problem. I also used a monitor with HDMI cable. I spent 45 minutes on the phone with Apple Care tech but no solutions. I took it back to shop and they tested it but did not have a HDMI cable and used a thunderbolt adapter. It worked fine. Bought a Thunderbolt adapter for HDMI cable and problem solved. Both mouse and keyboard now wake up system. Perhaps a future update will solve this but for now I'm happy.

  • I have a PowerBook G4 with a non-functioning monitor.  It used to work with an external monitor, but I reinstalled the OS, which cleared the display preferences and now when I restart it won't detect the external monitor. How do I fix?

    I have a PowerBook G4 with a non-functioning monitor.  It used to work with an external monitor, but I reinstalled the OS, which cleared the display preferences and now when I restart it won't detect the external monitor. This means I can't use the computer anymore. How do I fix? I tried using the Command+F2 keyboard shortcut, but it doesnt' work.  It's possible that since I reinstalled the OS, it still needs to be set up, so there's only a welcome screen (but since I can't see it I'm not sure).

    There is no limit to the number of times you can re-install Office on the same computer.

  • Imac running Yosemite won't detect external display

    I previously was using a 2008 iMac desktop and running OS X Yosemite. I was using dual monitors (other monitor being Insignia brand) and everything worked fine. Since this was an earlier mac version, I was using the Mini DVI to VGA Adapter to connect. Last week, I got a brand new iMac (Mid 2014 version). I am running OS X Yosemite as well, but now it won't detect any displays. I'm now using the Thunderbolt cable to connect so I wonder if that has anything to do with it. But I have used that same Thunderbolt cable before on my macbook and it worked just fine.
    I've tried restarting, resetting the PRAM and everything. I don't know what else to do. Help!

    Thanks for the reply, but tried everything and it still won't work. Rebooted, installed updates, cleared PRAM, everything. It will not detect the displays at all. Maybe there is something wrong with my VGA cable.

  • Macbook pro won't detect VGA display

    My MacBook Pro (15-inch i7 Early 2011) won't detect an external display using an apple mini displayport -> VGA connector using 10.7.3.
    All cables and the monitor are fine because my white macbook detects the LG monitor without any problem.
    I have read and tried every 'sollution' suggested on the internet, but all fail. Since my MBPro can't even detect my Sony LCD TV (my white macbook does) i suspect it's a firmware/hardware issue.
    I want to buy a thunderbolt display, but am not sure if i can spend all this money when even this simple VGA connection won't work.
    Has anyone the same VGA detection problem but with a working thunderbolt display connection?

    The warranty must be close to running out. Take it ASAP to the Apple Store or AASP and have it checked.

    unable to open a program on my laptop because it keeps trying to open in the other screen
    That happens to me with PowerShell on my Surface RT.  No matter how many times I move it to the Surface display it opens off screen (as if it had originally last been open on the big monitor when I had it attached.)  I can't use the keyboard
    shortcut which would bring it back when it would have been attached (e.g. Win-CursorRight) because then it is not seen as being on another monitor.  However, what I can do--as always, even before multi-screen windows were available--is use the window's
    Move command.  E.g. with keyboard focus on the hidden window you can just press Alt-Space M.  Or you can right-click on its thumbnail in the Taskbar for the same effect.  You then need to use a cursor key to engage the mouse pointer with
    the window's Title bar and change its icon to drag it back.  If you don't have mouse you just have to remember which direction to bring it back and keep pressing on the arrow key.  It's more amusing than irritating when you know how to work around
    it but I suppose if it was annoying enough you could always hook up your other monitor again and then move the windows back to the primary display.

  • My mid-2010 10.8.2 iMac won't detect external displays.

    My mid-2010 10.8.2 iMac won't detect external displays. I've tried using a third-party minidisplay port to DVI adapter, as well as an Apple-brand minidisplay port to VGA adapter. The monitor I'm using is a Dell SP2008WFPt. It is a functional monitor. I've tried resetting the PRAM, repairing my disk permissions, rebooting, and doing all sorts of wacky stuff with the order I plug things in. Is there a solution? It seems like lots of folks are having the same problem.
    Thanks! This is really starting to make me angry.

    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

  • MacBook suddenly won't detect my display, Using Mini Display Port to VGA?

    MacBook suddenly won't detect my display, Using Mini Display Port to VGA?

    dohdoh1985, I have the exact same problem also! I recently bought a 42" RCA LCD TV. I connected my MacBook Pro to my TV using a Dynex Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter that I got from BestBuy. It worked great until I upgraded to Mac OS 10.6.4 and then it suddenly stopped working. Same TV, same settings, same cables, same adapter. Nothing changed since the last time it worked except that my OS was upgraded to 10.6.4, so i am assuming that is the culprit. The symptoms are EXACTLY the same as what dohdoh1985 described; when I plug in the TV, the laptop display flashes (3 times) as though it is detecting an external display and the picture on the TV briefly goes from blue to black for about 1 second then back to blue. The TV does not appear in the display menu / control panel and there is no sign that the MacBook detected it. I went through the usual troubleshooting steps (reset PRAM, checked connections, tv settings, etc) but nothing worked. Other HDMI sources (i.e. Blu-ray player) work fine on the TV using the same HDMI cable on the same port so there is nothing wrong with the cable, the TV or the TV's input settings.
    Meanwhile, I can still connect my MacBook to my external ViewSonic monitor at work without any problems. It's just the TV that's not working.
    I cancelled my cable subscription a while ago since I only watch shows online nowadays and this was my only way of watching TV shows, so I'm quite upset.
    Apple, please help!

  • My MBP won't detect a projector even when I reboot the system.

    I can connect to a monitor, so I know the adapter and cable are working, and my old HP will connect to the projector so I know it's not the projector, but my MBP will not even detect that a projector is connected..  I have tried multiple projectors as well.  I am using a VGA cable with the apple adapter.  I have read old threads, but there doesn't seem to be anything recent, and it seems like people were able to find the projector after restarting the system.  I have tried all of the various displays sizes and colors; I have tried connecting the cables in various orders as one person said this worked for them, I have tried turning off the computer first, then connecting everything, I have tried connecting everything then restarting, but my computer just won't detect the projector(s).  Any thoughts?

    You can ignore those instructions. Adobe has what I believe is an easier way to install Flash by using the manual installers. See the Adobe troubleshooting guide - http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#main_ManualInstaller

  • Not Detecting second monitor on HP Pavilion p6-2100

    I'm trying to set up dual monitors on my company's shipping computer but Windows won't detect the second monitor. Both monitors are connected using a VGA port, but the second monitor is connected to a DVI-D port via a an adaptor.

  • I have an Epson printer on a Wifi network. Windows 7 desktop and and HP Win 7 laptop (my wifes) print to it just fine. My MacBook Pro running Yosemite won't detect it, and I have the latest driver installed. No problem when I had a Canon...

    I have an Epson printer on a Wifi network. Windows 7 desktop is running the network, and my wife's HP Win 7 laptop prints to it just fine. My MacBook Pro running Yosemite won't detect it, and I do have the latest driver installed. I didn't have a problem when I had a Canon Pixma on the network, but when I replaced it with the Epson nothing seems to work. I go to add a printer to the queue and only the FAX function of the printer shows up - not the WS-4530 print function. Does anyone out there have any suggestions?  Please??? :-)

    Hi Kelly,
    As someone who has to print from my Mac to a networked printer at home all the time, I can certainly understand how frustrating it must be to have that fail to perform as expected. Let's see if we can get you up and running.
    I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
    OS X Yosemite: Printing troubleshooting
    Start with the section titled Check the network.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • My imac will not detect external monitor after recent update. Is there a way to fix this?

    I have a VGA monitor plugged in to my imac using the VGA adapter to the mini-DVI.  All was working well.  Since I updated over the weekend, the computer will not detect the monitor.
    Any ideas how to fix this?

    Pcantin wrote:
    I have tried another VGA monitor and that failed as well.  Since you don't think the update was the cause, it may be that the adapter I am using decided to call it quits.  I will see if I can find another and test that out.
    I will look into the external drive idea as well.
    Thanks for your help on this.
    I didn't think about the adaptor, but you should at least visually inspect both the adaptor and the cable at both ends. If one or more pins got bent even slightly the connection might fail. The cables can also fail internally. Replacing the adaptor and cable may be the quickest thing to do initially. If you want to try to save money, first replace the adaptor, and if the problem persists, then go replace the cable (or vice versa).
