MBP 2014 to a DeLL U2412 screen

What is the best way to connect my MBP 2014 to a DeLL U2412 screen which has DVI ?

You will need something such as this:

There are probably some third party adapters that are less costly.

Reboot the machine holding Command and r keys down, you'll boot into Lion Recovery Partition
In there will be Disk Utility, use that to select your Lion OS X Partition and Repair Permissions.
After that is done reboot the machine and see if you can log in.
If not repeat the above steps to get into Lion Recovery, get online and reinstall Lion again, it will overwrite the installed version and hopefully after that it wil work.
Reboot and try again.
If not follow my steps to create a Snow Leopard Data Recovery drive, then option boot from it and grab a copy of your files off the machine.
Then reinstall all your programs onto the external drive like setting up a new machine, then use Disk Utility to erase the entire internal boot drive (select the drive media on the far left, not the partiton slightly indented) format Option: GUID , 1 partition OS X Extended and then use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the external to the newly formatted internal drive. Once that is finished reboot and disconnect the external drive.
Once you go that, boot into Snow Leopard and update to 10.6.8, use the AppStore and option click on Purchases and download Lion again and install.
Lots of work, but there is no Lion disks.

Is it possible to connect my 2008 black macbook, to my new 2014 macbook pro retina display screen to make a dual monitor. If this is possible what cables would I need to buy?

You can try using Screen Sharing in the Sharing preferences. Or try a third-party utility such as ScreenRecycler.

I made the mistake when configuring a external monitor, of changing the mhz to 75. When I close the MBP I now get a black screen on the monitor. How do I change it back?

Resetting the PRAM can help bring displays back to factory settings if you can't find what you need:

When I open firefox (note: I got firefox version 28.0 and Karspersky security 2014) I get a black screen, looking like a command prompt window, in firefox.

Hi,
When I open firefox (note: I got firefox version 28.0 and Karspersky security 2014) I get a black screen covering the whole firefox window and it looks more lika a big command prompt window, in firefox. What is it?
Regards

Huh, that's a new one...
Can you try Firefox in [[Safe Mode | Safe Mode]] to see if the problem goes away. I'm thinking it's an extension.
*Run ''firefox.exe -safe-mode'' in the search bar on the Start Menu. (Make sure Firefox is closed)
Have you added any new extensions recently around the time this started happening? Your system details shows the following:

MacBook Pro and Dell S2400L screen

I'm having problems connecting my MacBook Pro to a new Dell S2400L screen. I have been using a Dell screen forever and never had any issue. Any suggestions on what to do? I belive I have the correct cable in place btw the units but I can't get the mirroring option to work.
Anyone experiencing the same issue? Thank you.

Hi there,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

MBP unexpectedly restarts while watching full-screen video

For the past couple of weeks, every time (four times so far) I go to watch a movie on Netflix or a game on NBCSports.com in full screen (using either Safari or Camino), after some time (several minutes, not long) my MBP will suddenly shut off and then immediately restart as if nothing happened.
After the most recent incident, I ran an extended Hardware Test, but it came back clean.
Each shut off has occurred while my computer was connected to power.
Any idea what's going on? Thanks much.

Hi,
As well as setting everything in System Preference > Notifications for Messages you can also state several things in the general Section of the Preferences for Messages.
The only sound you can now change (since the Alerts panel was removed in Messages 8) is the Messages received Sound.
The Choices are anything in in System Alerts and anything in your ~/Library/Sounds folder.
I have a few bars of a Jimi Hndrix track as mine.
Open any Finder Window.
Use the Go Menu whilst holding down th ALT key
Select the Library that is added to the list.
Navigate to Sounds folder.
Add sound that will be heard over the battle near the end of Iron Man 3
( you may need to work out the System Preferences > Sound > Sound Effect volume against the Master volume to be heard).
Back to the Preferences in Messages.
At the bottom is sa drop down for AppleScript.
One of the choices is Speak Events.
I have not tried this yet.

NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB screen card
Thinking of buying the new Dell UltraSharp 32 UltraHD 4Kmonitor (that's quite a name, eh)

Will the monitor work fine with the MBP
Will I be able to enjoy full 4K 3840 x 2160 resolution, or just the 2880 x 1800 "retina" resolution
Should I connect it with HDMI, or Thunderbolt/Mini Display?

Dell L501x Screen Brightness

I've gotten most things working on my new laptop but I can't seem to figure out how to adjust my screen brightness.
The first thing I noticed was that there was no /proc/acpi/video directory. So I searched for where it might be:
~ $ find / -iname *brightness* 2>/dev/null
/sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
/sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0/actual_brightness
/sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0/max_brightness
/sys/module/video/parameters/brightness_switch_enabled
/usr/lib/gegl-0.1/brightness-contrast.so
/usr/share/laptop-mode-tools/modules/lcd-brightness
/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/libgimpwidgets/stock-tool-brightness-contrast-16.png
/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/libgimpwidgets/stock-tool-brightness-contrast-22.png
/etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/lcd-brightness.conf
The first three seemed like they might be useful since they are similar to the ThinkPad brightness values here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/La … brightness. Each one has only the number 15 in it. When I try as root to do
echo -n X >/sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness # X being replaced by any number from 0 to 15
I get:
bash: /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness: Permision denied
I have tried setting laptop-mode-tools to automatically echo different numbers when I unplug my laptop but they don't do anything. If you might be able to point me in the right direction, or know how to change the brightness on the Dell L501x, I'd greatly appreciate the help.

Just another thing: Do you get the synaptics touchpad work well? For me it works, but when I try to use two finger scroll, I can't use it when I lay my two fingers at the same time on the touchpad. I have to lay them one after another on the touchpad to use two finger scroll. Do you have the same problem or found a solution for this?
Best regards!
I own a Dell L401X i7 with Nvidia GT 425m and my touchpad also has problem. I use gpointing-device-setting to enable two finger scrolling. Sometimes it worked pretty well, sometimes when I put two fingers on the touchpad, my mouse jumped all over the screen. I don't know why.
Another thing I notice with this laptop is that my touchpad lock key does not work anymore (it used to work with the fresh installation of Arch)
If you find the solution to these, please share!
PS: I don't why to hijack this thread of CanadaRox, I just want to share some problems some of you guys out there who is owning the same Dell laptop line.

Mac Mini (late 2014) with dual Dell 2713HMt

Can anybody tell me if theres a way to run these both at 2560 x 1440?
Due an upgrade at work and want to go fully Apple (change ubuntu desktop).
2713 ports: DP, MDP, DVI ...
Worried to buy it and be left with one display on HDMI port.
Thanks in advance.

The current Mac mini has two Thunderbolt/Mini Displayport sockets and each can drive a screen, previous model Mac minis only had one Thunderbolt/Mini Displayport socket. There have been a lot of reports of problems daisy-chaining two Dell monitors off a single Displayport socket on a Mac mini but if you have the current model with two sockets you can completely avoid this by connecting one to each.
As it happens it looks like this particular model does not have two Displayport connectors and could not be daisy-chained anyway.
Yes the http://www.amazon.co.uk/StarTech-com-Mini-DisplayPort-Adapter-Cable/dp/B002XVYZ8 2 cable looks the right one to me. You would need two of them, one for each screen. If you will be using other Thunderbolt devices they would need to be connected to the Mac first, and the screen then would hang of the second socket on the Thunderbolt device.

2014 Mac Mini shows pink screen when waking

I have a 2014 3Ghz i7 mac mini which I have attempted to connect two different Asus monitors via two different HDMI cables in multiple configurations. Regardless of the connection combination when the mac awakes from sleep or from the screensaver (to show the login screen) the screen shows up as bright pink and I can barely make out the password box.
Turning off the monitor and turning it back on corrects the problem as does waiting about 10 seconds for the monitor to go out of sync and return. After this time the issue goes away until the computer sleeps or I enter the sleep saver again and have to re-login.
Is anyone else encountering this?
PRAM and SMC have been reset already.

I don’t know if this solves the pink screen problem, whatever it is. I’m not a techie so this is all I can offer.
I got my Mini end of December and the pink screen problem just started now. I had no pink screen until I went to change the Sleep / Wake settings. Then I started getting the pink screen with desktop barely showing through. So think when / if you changed your settings from the default. Maybe your problem started after that.
Returning settings to default doesn't fix it. I also tried to check / uncheck different sleep / wake settings, but didn't work either.
I have the latest Mac Mini 3 GHz
Intel Core i7, 16 GB RAM Yosemite 10.10.2.
External ASUS PA248 monitor via HDMI.
I know everyone has different set-ups with slight variations in the problem, but maybe this will help some people. It seem to have worked to solve the pink from appearing, but I don’t think it has solved he actual problem. At least if I have to go to my computer every half hour, I don’t have to wear out my monitor button by having to turn it on all the time just to get rid of the pink screen.
I know people want their Mini to sleep but for these instructions your Mini will have to remain awake all the time.
This is my monitor set up.
Screen saver set to go on in 10 minutes.
Monitor shuts off in 15 minutes.
The Mini stays on all the time, no sleep or wake cycles.
1. Go to ENERGY SAVINGS
2. The only thing I have checked is, “Prevent the computer from sleeping automatically when the display is off. Leave the rest unchecked".
3. Then go to SCHEDULE Uncheck these,
START UP OR WAKE and SLEEP settings.
Hit OK
Exit ENERGY SAVINGS.
Let your monitor turn off, come back later. Sit down and re-try to to turn on your desktop. DON'T click away on your mouse or move it back and forth furiously like you want your desktop to load RIGHT NOW. Well I did that and the system didn't like that and the pink was back. It seems the system needs a few seconds to load up the desktop. Click the mouse button once, or move the mouse a a TINY bit. Wait a bit and the desktop should appear WITH NO PINK SCREEN, hopefully.
Hope this helps.

Apple Digital AV Adapter - DVI port on Dell flat screen?

What do I need to connect my iPad 2 to my Dell 24" flat screen monitor? I have the Apple Digital AV Adapter and use it for my HDTV.
Can it somehow be adapted for the Dell monitor?

Chances are the Dell monitor is the way you described since it's a few years old. After writing this yesterday, I hooked up the iPad 2 to my HDTV and was blown away! If I have to be "tethered" to something, it's much better that it's the HDTV. (Infinity Blade, Angry Birds, Fishdom H2O and Astraware Casino) - I was up late into the night with these.
Thank you for the fast answer!

Cant get into BIOS via DEL key, screen goes blank on load RD240

Hello group, having an issue with a RD240 rackmount server attempting to bring it online for the first time. Currently in a one CPU configuration with one stick on RAM in the correct slot, using SAS. When the computer first boots prompting you to hit either DEL or TAB those keyboard commands are non-effective. Once it bypasses that screen it will move towards the LSI connfiguration utility. If you hit Ctrl +C it will say that the utility will become active after initialization. The screen then just goes blank. At that point I can hit Ctrl Alt Delete and it will reboot the server and then in the same mess again, Del is ignored, I can't boot off the CDROM, cleared the BIOS using the jumpers, nada. Any thoughts on this would be great, at this point I can't get in to configure and if I just let it boot always ends in a black screen. Checked the cables for the SAS and everything looks good across the board to me. Tried different RAM sticks, unplugging the SATA CDROM, etc. I can get into the Mgmt via the web and sensor show everything green across the board etc but something is borked. There is a LED screen on the mainboard with the number 78. I couldn't reference what that means. All drives I can hear click on, Cheetah 15k all around. Steady green light on bottom, top light out. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Try pressing F1 at the Thinkserver Screen. When Setup Bios appears, you can exit out by pressing Esc. After the screen goes blank, press Ctrl+H to get the Web Bios screen which will allow you to configure your server. I hope that this will help.

Color issue only with finder on a dell U2410 screen

Hello...
I've got a macbookpro 15' with snow leopard. I've just connected a second display screen (DELL U2410) through a mini display to DVI adapter.
On te Dell, when i look a photo in the finder/cover flow, the reds are satured. And when i look the picture on "preview", it looks normal.
I've took a capture of this :

On the left, the picture with preview, on the right the same picture on finder.
It's Amazing ?
thanks.

Try creating a new color profile (and then going back, if creating a new one doesn't solve it). Go to System Preferences > Display > Color

Handoff continuity work half...5S / MBP 2014

Hi,
I have a MBP retina mid 2014 and an iphone 5S 8.1
Handoff and continuity work half :
What works :
Forwarding SMS / Imessage
Calling from my MBP by my iphone
Handoff MBP --> Iphone
What doesn't work :
Handoff Imessage (any text appear)
Handoff Iphone --> MBP
Receive a call on my MBP
Bluetooth is on and the same wifi network of course
I tried icloud logout on my mbp and my iphone + reboot ... same issue
Thanks for your idea and your help
Olivier

I am having this issue too. I have a 5k iMac and a Macbook Pro.
Working items for MBP
instant hot spot
Handoff of applications
Not working items for MBP
Receiving calls
SMS Messaging
**Periodically this will work but noone can hear me.
Working items for iMac
SMS Messaging
Not working items for iMac
instant hot spot
Handoff of applications
**The calling feature will work for a day or two and then quit
Also, on my iPhone... the Forwarding text feature does NOT give me the option to turn on for both Mac's... it is only giving me one. Depending on the sequence I reboot and sign out/sign in to my iCloud account determines which Mac i can forward to. Why is this not giving me the option to send to both??
I have turn on and off the iOS settings on my iPhone (imessaging, cellular phone, handoff, etc...) and I have done the same on my Mac's. Plus I have signed in/out of my iCloud accounts on all devices.... just as I have read in other forums. This is not fixing the issue.
