MBP via HDMI to 24" monitor only runs the monitor not MBP display??

I own a 2008 Macbook Pro 15" from 08.
Have used monitors in the past but none via HDMI.
Recently got an Asus VE247H 24" monitor.
Connectd via DVI or VGA it works with a terrible screen resolution but i can still use my MBP pro display as a second monitor.
When using HDMI the resolution is great at 1080P but i cannot use my MBP display as a second monitor.
When using HDMI to mini display port am i limited to just 1 monitor?

Way too cheap to upgrade to an apple display... Hoping for a 15" macbook air this year to arrive and then i'll think about a different display.
Thanks!

  • How can i use my smart TV as a second monitor for my Power mac (2010) via HDMI cable? i've made the connection but no options show in system prefs display.

    How can i use my smart TV as a second monitor for my Power mac (2010) via HDMI cable? i've made the connection but no options show in system prefs display.
    the computer:Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.9.5), 2 x 2.66 Ghz 6-Core intel Xeon
    the TV: LG Smart tv

    The Mac uses a highly-parameterized universal Driver for every display. The parameters are set at certain times when a query is sent to your display. The display MUST answer with its name and capabilities, or the screen stays dark. A TV set that is off or "not paying attention" because it is set to a different port when the query occurs will rarely answer, and so will often remain dark.
    You can use tools in the System Report to see whether your display has been detected at all. If it has, the report will look something like this, but its name will appear:
    The times when the query is sent are:
    • at Startup
    • at wake from sleep
    • when the Mac-end of the cable is inserted
    • when using the Option ( Detect Displays ) button in displays preferences

    Can a Mac mini be used to run the monitor on an iMac with a dead logic board?

    Apparently my iMac was just dirty. When the tech tried to start it today it started even though when the tech tried to start it yesterday nothing happened. So no need to fix anything.

  • When I connect my digital camera to my iPad it will only download the stills, not the videos. How can I download the videos? I have the USB and HDMI connectors for the iPad.

    When I connect my Leica digital camera to my iPad it will only download the photos not the videos. How can I download the videos anyone please?

    If your camera has an SD memory card, use the camera connection kit & the SD card to download to the iPad. That's what I do.
    Another way that will work. Download the video(s) to your computer. Then you can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    First, Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie file into the folder. The movie file must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie file should appear & you can import.

  • When i send a page from a website to my printers email address, it only prints the url not the page

    I have a Photosmart D110 all in one and just bought a Asus Transformer tablet. I`ve downloaded the eprint app and every time I share a page from a website via email to my printers email address it only prints the URL not the actual webpage. Also when I click the share option it gives me the option to share with the eprint app, but when I do it say it can't read or support the file due to paper size not being selected.

  • Can I use my iMac as a monitor to run the new HP Stream Mini?

    Obviousy, I can install Windows 8 or possibly Windows 10 with a bootable disk or as a virtual machine. I might need to run windows as part of a side job. My neighbor is about to get the new HP Stream Mini which of course needs a monitor. Rather than go through the whole install/partition ordeal, I was wondering if I could hook up this Mini to my iMac, the iMac being the monitor? Yes/No?
    thanks, Bill

    Depends on your model & the connections. Read up on Target display mode…
    Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Apple Support
    http://macs.about.com/od/usingyourmac/qt/using-target-display-mode.htm
    It's not a great solution since OS X is still running underneath (powering 2 computers to only control 1).
    You may find that once the PC is setup you can use RDP to share the screen & control it from the Mac if they are on the same network.

  • MBP 15 can't get started ,nothing on the monitor

      Hi，I am from China.My MBP 15's montior went black one day while I was watching online vedios.I could still hear the sound of the vedio but nothing on the screen.I tried to restart my laptop only to find a black screen with a starting sound.When I closed the cover,the sleep indicator light was on steadily,not as ususal,blinking.After shutting it down, i put it in my drawer for about one month.Yesterday i managed to turn it on unexpectedly.Then i see a notification,something like "error -50",and then the monitor failed again soon.Is there anyone who is familiar with this? I appreciate any kind of help.
    At the same time,i have another question about my warranty.My mother bought me the MBP in Cupertino last Oct .Unfortunately,she couldnot find the invoice.As a result,in the telephone my local authorized service provieder refused to repair it under warranty so i have to pay extra money for it.But i think i have the rights to get my MBP fixed using the provided service.After all, the warraty is avaliable till this Oct.What should I do or how can i file a complaint?
      ThX for your help and concerns.

  • Why is Time Machine displaying files only in the present not the past?

    Hi,
    My PowerBook G4 recently had its Logic Board replaced. Since Time Machine identifies the machine to backup thanks to its MAC Ethernet address and, since after a Logic Board switch my MAC Ethernet address had changed, I had to reconfigure TM so that the external hard drive reassociates with the new MAC Ethernet address and continues to backup in the same backup folder. For that I used this hint posted on MacOSXhints.com :
    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080128003716101&query=time%2Bmach ine%2Blogic
    While performing this hint enabled me to have my new backups in the original backup folder, and access all my backups through finder, I cannot view any backups in Time Machine star-field mode. Whenever I click on "Enter Time Machine" I correctly warp into the star-field, but I only see the present. I cannot go back in time and the time line on the side doesn't show any dates in the past. The finder window at the front displays only what is currently on my PowerBook HDD, and the finder windows that precede it are all dark grey, empty and un-clickable. What is peculiar is that when I click on Time Machine Preferences, the Panel can show the date of the oldest backup.
    To sum up: Time machine has no problem backing up my files in the original backup folder of my external HDD (I can see all my new backups in the same backup database folder as the ones before the Logic board switch), I can access all my backed up files via Finder, but when I enter Time Machine star-field mode, it doesn't show me any of my backups. I really like the ease of use of the star-field mode, and I find it frustrating to have to look at my backups in plain old Finder.
    What I don't know is whether hint I described above might have introduced errors that provoked the error or whether this might be due to the fact that while my computer was going for repair, I connected the external HDD containing my backup with two computers running Mac OS X 10.4 to retrieve some backed up files.
    My case must probably be quite rare, but since I haven't found any solutions to this date, I'm posting it now.
    I would be extremely grateful if anyone had a solution for this, or an intuition on the different parameters to modify to correct this Time Machine problem. Any contribution will be helpful. Thank you very much.

    gbullman,
    You say that the logic board was replaced? Then you will not be able to continue backups to the SAME backup set.
    *_Time Machine Always Performs a Full Backup After a Full Restore_*
    Actually, this is normal. Anytime your hardware has changed, or you have reinstalled the operating system again, Time Machine will perform a new full backup.
    *Full Backup After Restore*
    Bear in mind that in all cases Time Machine will perform a full backup after a full restore. This is normal. Time Machine will resume incremental backups after the full backup has completed. To view previous backups, Control-click or right-click the Time Machine icon in your Dock or Option-click the Time Machine menu extra and Choose "Browse Other Time Machine Disks," then select your previous backup volume. You will enter Time Machine and be able to browse your previous back ups and restore files. [http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1338]
    So even on unchanged hardware, if you reinstall your system software and restore your user data, Time Machine starts anew, and you will not be able to resume backing up with the same history as the previous backups.
    While there may be ways to fool/hack Time Machine into recognizing previous backups without performing another full backup, they are likely rather elaborate. Ultimately, though, in a couple of months, all the effort to preserve old backups may seem pointless. After all, Time Machine will eventually purge away that data anyways as it replaces it with new files.
    It may simply be easier to begin a fresh series of backups while saving the previous backups until your satisfied that you have enough history built up. Then delete the old backups.
    *Why Can’t I Resume Backups?*
    You see, Time Machine was designed to restore your Macs’ immediate environment in case of system crashes or accidental deletion of user files. As a result, reinstalling your Mac OS system software or changing your hardware requires a fresh set of backups since older backups would not accurately represent the current state of your Mac.
    Additionally, if a user has had to reinstall the system software, then resuming backups to the same set could later reintroduce the very issues that forced the reinstall in the first place. Furthermore, maintaining backups that were started with an older Mac, introduces the possibility of restoring system files that were never intended for the new Mac.
    If you require long-term archival storage of files, then you need another backup strategy.
    Hope this clarifies some things.
    Cheers!
