Mini Displayport - VGA - External display not detected on 9400m

Hey guys,
I really need help, I have 2 HDTVs and for both of them gives me the plain black screen with gray noise. The update did not help, and the only way to run external display is through 9600m GT, and obv that is not good for your computer. Is there anyway or solution to fix this problem, and since Apple is pretty useless lately, other then say "re-try the update".
In more detail: It seems to detect that I have plugged in the adapter since I see the changing screen process, but once the screen is changed it outputs the display for less then a second and then gives me the black screen. If I check my macbook pro, it doesn't detect that there is an external display plugged into the laptop.
HELP! PLZ! I'm sick of this problem! TRIED the PRAM RESET 2! Almost everything

I think the only way to do this is to spoof a monitor connection using a hardware dongle that transmits EDID. This thing should work.

  • VGA over RGBHV, external display not detected

    Hi guys,
    I have a presentation to make in a couple of days' time on my Macbook, but while at the venue testing the projector, I encountered a problem.
    At the lectern, the VGA input is not in the form of the normal DB15 VGA connector, but RGBHV - so the cable that the technician there provides is a VGA connector - 5x BNC connectors (for RGBHV) cable. After plugging the VGA end into my Mini DVI-VGA adapter, my macbook doesn't detect the display. I understand that EDID/DDC2 relies on some other pins on the VGA cable to transmit the data.
    So, any ideas on how to get my macbook to detect the display and activate the video output? Running a VGA cable straight to the projector is not an option as it's mounted way too high for that.
    Cheers,
    -cflee

  • Mini-Displayport to DVI adapter not working, but Mini-Displayport to VGA and Thunderbolt work fine

    Mini-Displayport to DVI adapter not working, but Mini-Displayport to VGA and Thunderbolt work fine.
    This is a brand new MacBook Pro (15-inch, mid-2012) just received.  I suspect that this is a hardware problem as:
    The mini-displayport to DVI adapter and the external monitor that I am utilizing connect and operate just fine using my older MacBook Pro (mid-2010) with the same OS.
    The new MacBook Pro powers the external monitor with a mini-displayport to VGA adapater without issue.
    The new MacBook Pro powers an Apple Thunderbolt display without issue.
    Both MacBook Pro's are running OSX Lion 10.7.4.
    The only combination which does not work is the mini-displayport to DVI adapater used in conjunction with the brand new MacBook Pro (mid-2012).
    All adapters and components (mini-displayport adapters) are Apple retail adapter.
    I have tried several external monitors, including my Dell U2412m.
    When I connect the mini-displayport to DVI adapater to the new MacBook Pro (mid-2012), nothing happens. The external monitor reports "no signal" and attempts to go into sleep mode.  Using the "Detect displays" button has no effect, even when used multiple times.  Rebooting does not help, nor does resetting the SMC or PRAM.
    Any other suggestions before I take it to the Genius Bar?

    I turns out that the logic board of my MacBook Pro was faulty (despite being brand new).
    I took it to the Apple Store, presented the problem, and one of the Tech's came to the same conclusion that I had -- hardware failure.  Phone support was no help in the matter (and even told me that what I was trying to do wasn't a supported option, which is rediculous).  However, the Genius Bar did take care of the problem, and my MacBook Pro was back to me with a replaced logic board within a few days.
    Hope that htis helps.

  • Not allowed to play movie, an external display is detected (Q1544)

    I'm getting this message on my I-pad 2 while using my Uverse app
    "Not allowed to play movie, an external display is detected (Q1544).
    There is no problem using the Netflix app.

    There isn't a workaround, if you get that message then the provider has blocked using Airplay or an external monitor. Contact Uverse and ask them to remove the block.

  • External Display not working with MacBook Pro 13" (early 2011)

    I just bought the current MacBook Pro 13" (i7 processor). My external display (Benq 20"W, 1600x1050) always says "No Signal Detected!". I've tried it with a DVI-Adapter (Griffin Video Display Converter) and with a VGA-Adapter (LMP Mini DisplayPort-VGA-Adapter). With lower resolution I once got a picture (but with weird lines). On my old MacBook (white, 2.16 Ghz) there was never a problem with this display (also OS X 10.6.6). Who can help?

    Check this post if you want more info:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2774718
    The gist is that DVI is currently very iffy through Thunderbolt. Mini display -> mini display OR mini display -> HDMI should work fine. It's most likely not your adapter itself but the fact that it's DVI.
    If you can, get a mini display -> HDMI adapter and try that (assuming your external has HDMI).
    I should hear back tomorrow or Monday from apple engineers with more specific info about this issue and I will update then.
    BTW- DVI anywhere in the chain will make things fail. Mini Display -> DVI and a DVI/HDMI cable won't work with any reliability (I've tested it on three completely different monitors).

  • External monitor not detected on Thinkpad W530 intel-virtual-output

    I'm having problems with connecting my ThinkPad W530 to external monitors since a few months. I'm using NVIDIA Optimus and bumblebee/optirun since the VGA and Mini DisplayPort connectors are only wired to the NVIDIA card om this laptop. For a long time I have executed:
    $ optirun true
    $ intel-virtual-output
    Then I have started the Screens GUI tool in Gnome to setup the placement of the external screen but now the external screen is not present in the GUI tool and xrandr gives me:
    Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 32767 x 32767
    LVDS1 connected primary 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 344mm x 193mm
    1920x1080 60.00*+ 50.00
    1400x1050 59.98
    1280x1024 60.02
    1280x960 60.00
    1024x768 60.00
    800x600 60.32 56.25
    640x480 59.94
    VGA1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
    VIRTUAL1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
    If I select "Discrete mode" and select startup screen as VGA in the BIOS the BIOS and the Grub screens shows on the external monitor but the screen locks on the screen that shows that the system is booting with the linux-ck kernel. This has never worked for me in Arch Linux so that is no surprise. In Ubuntu everything everything worked fine the last time I tried.
    How can I debug this? Why is the external screen not detected any more?

    Thanks, I am not sure exactly how to read the logs but I cannot find anything that is obviously wrong
    Below is my log with an external screen connected via Mini DisplayPort and after running:
    $ optirun true
    $ intel-virtual-output
    a few times, no more logs seem to be added when I connect/disconnect the monitor or when I run the above two commands more times.

  • How can I use an iPad Mini as a external display for any new Vixia Series Camcorder?

    Hey Everyone, 
    I've worked with Vixia's previously and am looking to purchace one of my own, a G20 or G30 most likely.
    I'm very interested in using an iPad Mini as an external display and wondering if anyone has had luck with this.
    Cheers and thank you!

    do you mean you want to play your videos from your Vixia camcorder on your iPad mini? Well, that may be a little difficut. Because the video came from your camera may not be a very friendly format. 
    Here you can try install VLC on your iPad mini , VLC should support AVCHD (*.MTS) natively.
    If this can't work, then find yourself a free converter;
    Handbrake, Any video converter ,ffMPEG etc.
    If this can't wrok , or the output quality is jerky.
    try this one free mts/m2ts converter from pav, I used it and considered to update it.

  • Macbook (Late 2007) External Display Not Working

    I have an acer x243hq 1920x1080 external monitor which works with my Xbox 360 (vga cable) and my friends macbook (early 2008) but not my macbook
    when plugging the external monitor into my macbook using the minidvi to dvi adapter the macbook screen goes light blue and flashes continuously until i remove the cable, the external monitor is just black (does NOT display "no signal") when the cable is removed the cpu seems to have been running at 100%.
    i have tried using my friends macbook hard drive in my macbook and the problem is still there therefore the problem must be hardware related?
    i have all current updates
    Thanks for any replys on how i can fix this

    Have you downloaded the Mac OS X (10.5.4) Combo Update? I posted my problem, very similar to yours, and in researching it I found it at: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1054comboupdate .html. It might just be what you need!
    My problem is that I am running 10.5.7, which I blame for my external display not acting like it did when I was on 10.5.6! One expert at Apple Support told me to erase my HDD, reinstall Tiger, upgrade to Leopard again, but only to 10.5.6! Has anyone any idea as to when 10.5.8 is due out? Is there a Beta?

  • Mini DisplayPort - VGA and MBP 2011 not working

    Hi,
    I can't get my 13" mbp 2011 to connect to VGA screens. I've bought a mini DisplayPort to VGA converter (an Apple one, not a no name) and if I connect a display over VGA the screen stays black. My mbp recognizes the display, I can see the display's model, resolution etc but no signal. I've tried multiple screens, none work.
    I don't have other converters so I can't test if HDMI screens for example do work.
    Anyone else having this problem?

    I have a 2011 13" i7 and am having the same issue when connecting it to my LG TV through the HDMI adapter. However when I connect it to my HP external monitor it works but it's VERY blurry... so blurry that it hurts the eyes to look at it for more than a few mins.
    My previous MBP (2010 13") works fine however with both the TV and monitor. I even reconnected it just to make sure and they both work flawlessly.
    I only have 14 days total to return this new MBP and 5 of those days are used up so if I can't get this fixed by then I have no choice but to return it and go back to my old MBP.

  • External display not as crisp as my Mac Mini

    Hi, I recently bought a macbook.
    I used to have a mac mini and hooked it up to a 19-inch LG Flatron L1950s (Resolution: 1280 x 1024, 24-bit, 16.7M colours). It looked great hooked up to my mac mini, very sharp.
    Now, I've hooked it up to my macbook, and while the display looks "ok" it is nowhere near as crisp as when i had it hooked up to the mini. I feel like it should be performing better. I have it set to its native resolution, but it's just not as clear. I mean, why would there be any difference at all?
    Any ideas that might help?
    Gavin

    Gavin,
    I wanted to weigh in with the same problem. My MacBook display looks crisp as all get out, but my external VGA monitor is blurry. Not unreadable, but certainly noticeable. I've tweaked resolutions, font anti-aliasing, smoothing, refresh rates, and everything else. I've also hooked my MacBook up to a LCD monitor, and the same problem exists. I am using a Mini-DVI -> VGA adapter as well. The LCD monitor I tested was inputting via it's VGA input (I know what you're thinking, "Of course it'll be blurry!", but I can hook my other laptop (Dell) up to it and it's crystal clear).
    I really want to use an external display, as bending my neck to see my screen all day really is hurting me. I can't stand the blurryness of the second monitor, though.
    Does anyone have any solutions for us? I don't want to buy a Mini-DVI -> DVI adapter and switch monitors to an LCD if using my existing VGA monitor is possible. Plus, it sounds like this might be a MacBook problem, as Gavin's old Mini seemed to display just fine on his VGA monitor...

  • External monitor not detected

    I just got a Samsung SyncMaster 2033 SW Plus monitor and tried connecting through the DVI port of my MacBook Pro, but its not getting detected. I'm using the mini display port to DVI adapter to connect. The monitor seems to work perfectly when I connected to the VGA port of my PC, but its not even been detected on the mac. I checked system profiler and it says no external monitor connected. Please help!!

    I have a similar problem with my new MBP. I have tried to connect it to my ViewSonic VP920b via the Mini DisplayPort to DVI, but get no video on the external monitor. The system profile shows it as connected, and if I turn mirroring on/off, my MBP monitor changes resolution to mirror (or not) the external, but there's no picture, just black screen.
    I've tried
    •closing the lid, connecting the external Mini DisplayPort, then waking without opening the lid,
    •changing the energy saver preferences to each of the 2 graphics card (Graphics Card: better battery life/better performance),
    •changing the external monitor resolution through all the possibilities,
    •restart with the external monitor connected
    •restart without the external monitor, then connect.

    Since the System Profile software can contact the monitor, and since the MBP screen changes in response to connecting or disconnecting the external monitor, I believe it's safe to assume there is no problem with the DVI cable or the MiniPort Display dongle. I just have no video displayed on the external monitor
    Any suggestions?

  • Mini displayport to dvi adapter not working

    hello,
    I have both a 2008 Mac Pro tower with 2 Apple Cinema Displays, and a newer MacBook Pro that I'd like to hook up to one of the monitors.
    The 2 monitors are both DVI, so I bought a mini displayport adapter to plug into the thunderbold port on the MacBook Pro and the other end to the monitor.
    When I plug it all in, I get no video on the monitor. I am sure the monitor works, I'm sure the cables work (from the monitor), not sure about the adapter (I just bought it, so it could be bad)....
    I did see quite a bit of the same issue online, thought I couldn't find any help in fixing it.... short of driving back to the apple store and replacing the adapter, I'm wondering if there's anything else I should do to trouble shoot this....
    I've restarted the computer, checked all connections, nada....
    help??

    The problem was simple: my laptop wasn't plugged in...
    The desk where the Mac Pro is isn't where I typically use my laptop, so I carried the laptop over and plugged the monitor in, when that didn't work I looked online and checked here- I also returend the original adapter to the apple store. I inquired about it there, and the genius asked if my laptop was plugged in when I tried it out... sooo when I got home I tried it again with the new adapter and with the laptop plugged in, and it worked right off the bat with no trouble shooting or "detect display" necessary...
    The laptop must be plugged in for the external monitor to show up...
    now I know.

  • External Display not working (descriptive details in post)

    Hello
    Background:
    I have been using a black Macbook (last year's model - before the aluminum ones came out) and connecting it to a VIZIO VW22L HDTV10T (television/monitor) via a mini-DVI to VGA adapter.
    This setup always worked, although it was a bit finicky (I'd have to plug it in before closing the display to get in to work in clamshell mode, for example). I get the feeling from reading other forum posts that this is the normal case, though (which so far has been my only real gripe with OS X).
    Anyway, back a couple months ago I wondered if this finicky-ness was partially caused by a messed-up preference file, so I decided to try and fix this. In the ensuing tweaking, I somehow caused my Display preferences to disappear.
    After much effort trying to fix the problem, I eventually called Apple support, which ultimately recommended that I reinstall OS X. I didn't do that, and continued to work at the problem. I eventually was able to bring it back by going into my Time Machine backups and restoring all the Display preference files (I used old preferences from back when I got the external HD, so I knew they'd be "uncorrupted). However, now I'm having problems with my external display, namely that it is not working.
    This problem started early this year, so it might have been caused by the 10.5.5 update, but since I had all these other problems going on, I'm not sure if that was the case.
    Problem:
    The Macbook doesn't seem to recognize the display, or is having problems routing video to the display, or something.
    If I plug the display into the Macbook while it is running normally, the Macbook LCD will flash blue (like it picked up a new display), but them come back to normal. The monitor will go out of sleep mode for a second, but then display a "No signal" message. If I attempt to "Detect Displays" the Macbook screen will either flash blue (as before) or just do nothing.
    If I have the display plugged in when I start up the Macbook, everything will proceed as normal until the time the desktop would be displayed. Instead of this, I just see a blue screen (like some generic desktop before any background is applied). The menu bar, the dock, and icons do not show up. However, I can hear various audio cues telling me the computer is running fine except for htis problem (email notifier going off, etc.).
    I know the problem is not faulty hardware, because when I boot my Macbook into Windows, everything works perfectly. It therefore follows that it is an OS X problem. I downloaded both Cocktail and Applejack and run various repairs on them (most notable repairing preferences), but nothing has changed.
    Any suggestions about how to try fixing this? If there's any technical detail I've missed, let me know.
    Thank you in advance to everyone who tries to help.
    -Richard

    I have same problem. MacBook Pro (new, 2014) upgraded to Yosemite. Had been running with ViewPoint high-resolution, 27" monitor, HDMI. I tried Thunderbolt connection -- it connected, but it would not allow the external monitor to run at its native resolution (2560x1440). It would only display properly using HDMI. Just 3 days ago after I installed the latest OSx software update, and my external monitor problems started. On startup, my MacBook screen flickers non-stop. I can fix problem eventually (after several tries) by disconnecting the HDMI cable, turning OFF the external monitor power, turning external monitor back ON and then plugging in the HDMI to my MacBook Pro. This is very inconvenient.
    I will try using the Thunderbolt cable. When I tried it in the past, it connected, but it wouldn't display the native resolution of my external monitor (which is 2560x1440). Can only get this resolution now with HDMI.

  • T61 and the Intel Graphics Card error - external monitor not detected

    T61 with Vista 32 bit, Mobile Intel® GM965 Express Chipset and an Advanced Mini Dock.
    I am trying to use the DVI port and an external monitor. The driver does not detect the external monitor.
    Uninstalling the Intel driver the Generic profile will work on the external monitor, but is overly fuzzy, how do I get the T61 to recognize my external monitor with the right drivers?
    I am currently running the Intel Driver Ver. - 7.14.10.1329, which provides the message under Multiple Display:
    Two displays must be connected to the computer before you can use this feature. Please connect another display.
    Of course my 22" monitor is connected.  That is the frustrating part.  I have also uninstalled Presentation Director, just in case, but then re-installed after it seemed that wasn't the problem.
    There is a newer driver from Intel but it is not Lenovo approved yet I guess. Though I highly doubt this is the problem. What can I do?
    ~~
    I did post a thread on the thinkpads.com too, but so far haven't had any luck.

    Well the new dock came but didn't fix the problem.  Now my nice new T61 is packed up in a depot box, waiting for DHL to come pick it up.
    dkaufman1 -- I guess we do have different problems.  If I set my T61 to display to the DVI port in the bios I get a blank screens on both the DVI connectd monitor and the laptop screen until the OS boots when I have the laptop in the dock.  The only way I can see the bios screen to set it back to the ThinkPad LCD setting is to boot it disconnected from the dock.
    I really hope that this problem is resolved, as I really like the T61 otherwise.  I was even using it with the VGA cable connected to my 22" monitor, but it was pretty hard to take.   I'm now back to my old desktop hooked up to the same monitor via DVI and it is quite the relief, even if it isn't as zippy as the T61.

  • Cinema Display not detected

    I got my 20" Cinema Display back from repair today (backlight problem) and now I can't get my MacBook Pro to detect that it's attached. While it was at the repair center, I used a CRT as a second monitor. So today, I just closed the MBP (didn't shut it off, which I think is what cause the problem), disconnected the CRT, connected the ACD and opened the MPB back up. Completely black screen, with the little LED on all the time.
    So, troubleshooting:
    - The MBP still detects the CRT
    - ACD is detected by both a G4 and G5
    - A different 20" ACD is ALSO not detected by my MBP
    - Reset NVRAM and SMC
    - Booted MBP in safe mode
    - Booted MBP from startup CD
    - Tried various resolutions while the CRT was connected, thinking maybe it was stuck on one that's not compatible with the ACD
    - Moved and recreated the com.apple.windowserver.* files
    I'm running 10.4.9 and here's what the graphics/displays info says, WITH the Cinema Display connected:

    UPDATE:
    I just got back from my visit to a mac genius. Of course Murphy's law was in full effect! With my MBP connected to the cinema display in the Mac store, everything worked as it is supposed to.
    Well, I rush home thinking that maybe mine would now work - - no luck! He did suggest that I try connecting analog with the provided dvi-to-vga adapter. This suggestion DID work! BUT, I want my video digital! That is why even though I was happy with the iBook G4 that I bought last year, I wanted digital video + expanded desktop!
    I think I will make another reservation with the Mac Genius, but this time, bring my monitor. Will keep you posted...
