MB Air 2011 not displaying on through VGA to all projectors.

Tried 1 (newer model) at the office that worked fine but my older one at home doesn't display. I still get the blue flash screen though.
Also tried a new Fujitsu monitor that didn't display either (claims no input signal).
Does the xternal monitor through TB/MD port to VGA adapter only work on some models or if it works on one should it work on all? What can I try?
Thanks a bunch.
Mikkel

I would think it should work on all.
Mini-displayport (TB) plugs can be tricky in that you need to push firmly to make sure they are fully seated. They may look like they are plugged in but may not be.
Check your Displays system preferences. If there is no Arrangment tab then the computer isn't detecting the projector. Try clicking Detect Displays.
If you do have an Arrangement tab, and it shows two screens, then click Gather Windows to bring the projector's Displays preferences on to your main screen if the projector is not yet showing an image. Set the proper resolution. Set the refresh rate (probably 60Hz) if that preference is shown. You should see a picture at this point.

Anyone know what is wrong with my laptop?

Hi Matze_Moto,
It should not be an issue. What you are seeing is the ability to Mirror your display to an Apple TV. If you feel that there is an issue, click on the menu to see if it is actually connected to another display. Check out the article below for more information.

IMAC 21.5-inch, Mid 2011 not display internet news pictures

Help, please. My iMAC 21.5-inch, Mid 2011 does not display internet news pictures. How can I 'fix' this?

I had no problems watching the streams & videos using FF v23.0.1.
Make sure you are using the latest version of Adobe Flash Player
Check Flash Version
Adobe strongly recommends that you first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html#main_1 0_4
Follow the instructions closely, such as quitting ALL applications first before installing. Repair permissions and restart your computer after the installation is completed.
Authored by Klaus1
Since I cannot read German, I was wondering if there was some sort of "Help" listing at the bottom of the website you linked? If so, there should be a section or a FAQ section that should tell you what you need and/or the system requirements to watch their streams & videos.

Mac outlook 2011 not display "Contact and Recent addresses"

I just installed Mac outlook 2011 in my new 2014 Macbook Pro OSX 10.9.4
When I type email address to the bar it does not display "Contact and Recent addresses" to list all the typed email address. Only if I press "tab" button, it will finish the rest of the address. The point is I cannot choose the address
from a list of same name persons.
However, it works well in my old Mac Book pro. OSX 10.9.3
Thanks.

IPod 5G Will Not Display iTunes Videos (Must Restart), All Photos Distorted

I own a 30GB iPod 5G which has never worked satisfactorily after I purchased the unit last year. In fact, after several trips last year to the Genius Bar at the Apple 5th Avenue store in New York, Apple replaced my unit with a new (or refurbished) model and the problems diminished somewhat. Within the last week I noticed however that my iPod will not display photos without severe distortion and will not display videos downloaded from iTunes at all (the unit requires a restart if I attempt to play these videos). I had taken the unit to an Apple mini-store at a local (Iselin, NJ) BestBuy and, after he entered the serial number into the support form, was told by an Apple badge employee that my warranty for the unit did not expire until Sept. 28 (which was the date I received the replacement iPod). When I took my unit to the 5th Avenue Apple store, I was informed by a Genius Bar employee (Jay) that my warranty expired on July 6 and Apple would not perform warranty service nor could I purchase the extended warranty. He further informed me that Apple badge employees at Best Buy and CompUSA are not “really” Apple employees.
He wouldn’t call a manager after I requested to speak to one. The only recourse he could offer me was to call the AppleCare 1-800 number, which I immediately did while still in the store. The person at AppleCare (after asking for the serial number) informed me that my warranty didn’t expire until Sept. 28 and if I wanted to I could purchase the extended warranty anytime until that date. I chose not to give my credit card information while standing in the midst of hundreds of customers, but I called the following day (July 14) and was told by the attendant who took my call that my warranty had expired on July 6 and there was nothing he could do to help me.
Evidently, although I have purchased 11 iPods over the course of the last year as gifts for family members (plus 4 speaker-docks plus more iTunes gift certificates than I can count), I do not count as a valued Apple customer. Could someone at Apple please prove me wrong?

32" SAMSUNG LCD not able to display Macbook through VGA Cable

New 32" Samsung (LA32A650 series 6) not picking up signal from Black Macbook. It's connected via VGA cable (mini DVI to VGA). Using a 5 meter, 15pin VGA cable which seems to work on a 20" DELL monitor (Macbook to Dell Monitor).
The Macbook sees the Samsung but the Samsung does not see the Macbook. Tried having both mirroring on and off...no luck. The PC option on the Samsung is still greyed out. Anybody have any other suggestions? I see in other posts where people are able to display their Macbooks to even bigger LCD's using a VGA setup so it must be possible.
Yes the Macbook is plugged in.
Yes cables are connected correctly.
Yes the Mini DVI to VGA adapter works fine.
I know with some PC laptops you press Function F5 (or other F?). Anything like that for a Macbook?
What's the ideal display setting for the Macbook? I've dropped the display setting all the way down to 800x600 but still no luck. Maybe I'm doing something wrong or doing it in the wrong order?

Ok...just an update.
I brought a pc laptop and my macbook to the store today. The 32" samsung LCD in the store did not pick up the signal on either laptops. HOWEVER. We hooked it up to a 42" sony LCD and no problems with the PC or macbook. So, the Mini-DVI to VGA adapter and VGA cable are fine. A samsung service tech will be coming to the house next week. I will post their findings.
My suggestion so far would be bring your laptop and cables to any store before making a decision on which LCD you would like to purchase (that is if you care to use the LCD as an external monitor).

Browser Based AIR Help not displaying in browser

Hi All!
Publishing with RoboHelp 8...
WebHelp generates and publishes properly to the server. Viewable, working, all good.
Browser Based AIR Help previews, generates, publishes, but won't display via IE or Safari. All that I get is a blank page instead of index.htm
Side Note/Side Issue: Project contains links to Baggage File PDF's. The links in the WebHelp version works properly. The BB AIRHelp only displays a blank page
Any thoughts?

LOL, it was never my intent to berate you. Only to try and point out that things like this require some thinking through.
As for the "sexist overtones", those totally aren't intentional either. I facilitate RoboHelp and Captivate classes for my living. I find that as humans, we all have food in common. As a result, it is often helpful to use an analogy to better understand what is going on with things we cannot see physically, such as RoboHelp generating and publishing files.
If you look through these forums at all, you will see that I use the analogy of a Single Source Layout as being just like a recipe. The Single Source Layout Pod being just like a recipe box. And I'm always calling the SSL the "SSL Recipe". Go ahead and search. You'll be surprised.
So it had nothing to do with this post. Only that it's my preferred way of trying to help make sense of things that aren't exactly tangible.
Sorry if I offended you in any way. I certainly didn't mean to!
Cheers... Rick

Mac air screen not displaying correctly

I have a Mac Air 13' screen. Recently I was using it and someone put a lemon head on the keyboard and slammed the screen down on it for no reason.
The screen is now displaying a grey screen with a white vertical line down the middle. When I turn the computer off and then back on the screen is
exactly the same. When I type I cannot see anything that I type. I have a two year warranty on my computer. I am just wanting to know if there is anytthing
that I can do without sending it in. If there is not, who or what am I supposed to call to send in the computer to fix it. Also would Ribbit computers or another computer repair store, would they be able to fix my screen without me sending it in to Apple. Any information would be appreciative and very helpful! Thanks for reading!

IPad air screen not displaying correctly

My iPad Air screen has recently started displaying with a pink hue in two of the corners, showing as a medium sized oval in one corner and a small circle in the other. There are also some vertical pink streaks that are less marked. It's really noticeable when the screen is displaying a white background. The only recent changes I have made is downloading the new IOS 8 update. There has been no trauma or damage to the iPad. It is still covered under the 1 year limited warranty. is there any way to fix this in my own?! Thank you!

Hello there katelynlc,
It sounds like you have some graphical anomolies on your screen that have a pink hue. If it is a software issue it will be resolvable by either first resetting the iPad:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Or backing up and restoring your iPad as a new device:
iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
If restoring as new does resolve it, restore your backup and verify it still works.
If not, then the iPad will need service:

All the very best,
Sterling

Air does not display on Panasonic VIera with VGS and mini adaptor

I have the mini vga adaptor and my air works on our Dell monitor, however when plugging it into our TV - Panasonic Viera around 4 years old LCD, nothing happens - ie you select PC and the screen is black. Our old powerbook used to work.
Do I need to hit a button or set something up?

If you mean the mirror icon it is because you need OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion so you will need to purchase it from the app store. There is also a third party app called airparrot, www.airparrot.com.

T61 Problem: Getting external monitor to display 1920x1080 through VGA

I've got the Nvidia 195.62 drivers, but windows still shows a max resolution of 1600x1200 for a 1920x1080 lcd screen. I'm using the VGA out.
This is frustrating.

Which windows version do you use?
I think if windows recognizes your monitor, it would be okey.

My mac air does not have enough memory to hold all the music I want. Can I delete songs from my library before downloading new ones and still have the old songs there when I sync my iPod?

I have a macbook air with 60GB memory. For work, I have used up all the memory and constantly use the files, so transfering them to a different location is not a possibilty now. I have about 5GB of music on it, but would like to transfer more on my iPod classic. I would like to know wether there is a possibility for me to delete old music, get new music into its place and then sync the iPod without losing the old music from it.
Hope I was clear enough.

See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

Chinese and Korean characters not displaying in navigation pane

I have an issue with Chinese and Korean characters not displaying on the tabs in the navigation pane:
I have 2 RoboHelp projects (using RoboHelp 8 with the updates installed) to generate WebHelp, one in Simplified Chinese, the other Korean. The HTML files, .HHC and .HHK were sent out for translations. I have set the appropriate language in the project settings, everything almost works, except for the text on the Contents, Index, and Search tabs. (I'm not using a skin.) I have read in various threads that the lng file should be edited using the RoboHelp interface, and this seems to be the crux of the problem. The characters do not display correctly through the RoboHelp UI.
The computer on which I generate the WebHelp is Windows Server 2003, and I do not have the language packs installed. (And am having problems getting hold of the language packs to install to see if this fixes the problem.)
Aside from installing the language packs, is there anything else I can try to help resolve the problem? (The characters in the content are displaying as expected.)
Any assistance is greatly appreciated

Perhaps something in the Translation Info section of this page might help? (The specifics are for Japanese, but I believe the issue would apply to all double-byte languages).

Connecting Macbook Air 2011 to Epson projector for Keynote

Hi,
I'm trying to connect my Macbook Air 2011 to a brand new Epson (Powerlite 1760W) projector for Keynote presentations.
I bought the recommended Monoprice mini cable from the Apple store but I can only plug it into my MBA (small squarish socket), the other end dosen't connect to the projector. It seems the projector wants a VGA cable into it.
I'm lost. Do I still need the UBS cable between the two? Do I need a USB / VGA cable instead?
Thanks in advance.

Alison,
In looking at the technical specifications (on Epson's site) for this device it would appear that you can make HDMI work - http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/jsp/Product.do?sku=V11H361120&BV_UseBVCookie= yes
That being said, the HDMI end on the adapter and on the projector are most likely female. So you'll need an HDMI cable (the length will vary on how far the machine is away from the projector) but I suspect a 3 or 6 footer would work just fine. The cable is a male-to-male.

DVI-out does not display 1080p, only 1080i

My MacBook is not displaying 1080p through my Sharp Aquos, only 1080 (Interlaced). Because the image is so poor, I'm pretty sure that it's 1080i. No matter what settings I've tried, the colors are awful, and the image looks horribly interlaced.
Apple does not state whether or not the MacBook's GMA950 actually supports 1080p, but I'm pretty sure that it doesn't, so please be aware of this if you're planning on using it with an external HDTV with 1080p resolution.
Outputting 1920x1200 to my 24" Dell is no problem, and the image and color are fantastic once calibrated with SuperCal.
Windows XP on my Wintel's 8800GTS video card has no problems detecting and displaying 1080p, and it looks fine.

I have a similar issue. I know the Macbook outputs 1080p just fine because I had been doing this on a Westinghouse LVM-37W3 for over a year.
I just got the Magnavox 42MF437B and have tried connecting it to my Macbook but Mac OS X detects the monitor as 1920 x 1080 (interlaced). I had this issue briefly with my old Westinghouse LVM-37W3 but was able to get it to output into progressive scan by clicking on the monitor icon in the menu bar and selecting the other 1920x1080 option. This however, did not work with the Magnavox.
I have tried using the third party app SwitchResX and creating a custom 1920x1080 setting but it does not appear to change anything. I am connecting using a DVI-to-HDMI cable. Any ideas? Thanks.
