Monitor compatibility with mac laptop

I am using a Mac Pro laptop with an HP 2511x external monitor. There seems to be some incompatability with these devices. When the Mac awakes from sleep mode, the HP monitor will only respond to turn on perhaps 20% of the time to recognize the computer. 80% of the time it does not find the computer and goes to sleep. The only fix I have right now is to unplug the power cord from the back of the monitor and reinsert to perhaps resetting the monitor at which time it will recognize the computer and everything will work fine until next time.Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Hello @rotarypilot,
I understand that you are having difficulty with your HP 2511x External Monitor always being recoginised by your MAC Laptop. I am providing you with an HP Support document: Updating a Monitor Driver, which states. 
"HP monitors are not supported in a Mac environment. However, newer Macs use graphics with VESA modes and can display to most HP LCD monitors. To do this, connect the monitor to the Mac while the Mac is off, and then turn on the MAC. The monitor should operate at 60Hz. The INF and software for the HP monitor are for Microsoft Windows and cannot be run in a standard MAC OS environment."
Basically, any support you will get with an HP Monitor on a MAC computer will have to come from MAC.
I hope I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!

  • Is the LG 22EN33S-B 22-inch LED 1920 x 1080 VGA Monitor compatible with mac via a vga to thunderbolt connection

    Is the LG 22EN33S-B 22-inch LED 1920 x 1080 VGA Monitor compatible with mac via a vga to thunderbolt adapter?

    The 1080p and 1080i options only appear on the HDMI display settings, the display settings for the thunderbolt to vga adaptor has 1920 x 1080.
    Via the HDMI output of the Mini via an HDMI cable to a HDMI input on the Samsung the display fills the screen but the text looks vile.
    The options for picture adjustement on the samsung include fill screen as you suggest
    Using the thunderbolt to VGA adaptor the text looks as it should, crisp and clear but the display is shitfted to the right.
    The options for picture adjustment on the Samsung does not have the 'fill screen' option available when the VGA input is selected. However a new option called 'pc screen adjustment' appears and you can nudge the display over to the left a bit but not enough to cover the whole screen.
    I remind you the pc worked perfectly 1920 x 1080 on the same VGA cable and input to the samsung.

  • Are ntfs files compatable with mac os lion

    are ntfs files compatable with mac os lion

    Files aren't ntfs or hfs or ufs or zfs.
    Those are file systems that is the basis for how the OS stores the files on the computer. Files are store inside a file system, but the file system doesn't normally affect the file itself.
    Mac OS X can natively read nt file systems. If you want to write, then you'll need something like Siddharth Khanna pointed out. I've also used Tuxera's product. You can use a combination of MacFuse and NTFS-3G for free, but if you need normal everyday access, that's going to fall short, I think.
    On the other hand, Windows can't natively handle HFS+ at all. If you need to format an external drive to work with both, I'd suggest using exFAT. Mac OS X from 10.6.6 on can read and write it, and Windows back to some version of XP can read/write it. As the name implies, it is much like FAT, but on steroids. It can handle very large file sizes and disk sizes.

  • Is Adobe Elements 10 compatable with Mac OX version 10.9.2 ?

    Is Adobe Elements 10 compatable with Mac OX version 10.9.2 ?
    I have just bought a new Mac and would like to know if Elements 10 will work on it please.

    I am strictly an Elements Windows user but try to find common ground between Premiere Elements Windows and Mac to give a viable response to Premiere Elements Mac questions.
    On this one, I suspect that the bottom line is going to be "try it" and see what happens in your specific computer environment.
    Please review the discussion in the following thread
    Re: Premiere Elements 10 crashes on disc templates
    Also, you are in for major display problems with Premiere Elements 10 on a computer that uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card.
    There the fix is to roll back the driver version to May 2013 in order to get Premiere Elements 10 to function properly.
    Please review, consider, and then let us know the outcome when your schedule permits.
    Thank you.

  • Powercadd 6 is compatibility with mac osx 10.6?

    powercadd 6 is compatibility with mac osx 10.6?

    That's a pretty old version, significantly predating Mac OS X 10.6, so I doubt it will be compatible. I'd suggest you contact the developer of PowerCADD and ask them:

  • Error message "not connected to internet" when trying to sign in to BB id with Mac laptop

    I have a Mac laptop and was forced to remove the original BB Link OS when the Z10 launched.  I replaced the OS with the current one but now it doesn't allow me to use my Mac's computer name eg.  John Smith's Mac book. I can only use a single name.  I suspect that is why I'm not getting the itune's library to load.  Also, I can't sign into my BB id, I get a message that says I'm not connected to the internet.  I've taken the firewall off as I heard that was a solution with Windows but it didn't work.  Any ideas?

    i have the same problem. I have window 7 pc. I had to use internet to download link so i don't understand why it is not allowing me to use link or do set up. I uninstalled my previous bb desktop driver in hopes that would help. It didn't. I appreciate any help on this forum

    My old Mac crashed and I had to get a new one. Now my Logic Pro 9.0.2. version which was fully compatible with Snow Leopard, for some reason does not want to work with the new Mac OS Lion. Is there any way around getting an upgrade to get this program working again? Thanks!

    Hi
    You need to download and install an updater from http://support.apple.com/downloads/
    Logic 9.1.5 and up is compatable with Lion.

  • PS CS4 Compatibility With Mac OS X Spaces

    I'm using Photoshop CS4 with Mac OS X version 10.5.5, and I can't seem to have different Photoshop documents (different windows) open in different "Spaces". I have no problem doing this with other applications. Is this a known issue with Photoshop, or is it the intended behavior?
    Thanks for any help or insight you can provide,
    -Steve

    @Ramon:
    this means:
    if you would work with the actual mac os, you have to use a old creative suite.
    if you would work with the actual creative suite, you have to use a old mac os.
    i am using a actual mac too :-) (mac pro intel)
    so i have to downgrade to a older system, because adobe isnt able to do, what all other programmers can do? i dont believe this!
    because i would use the actual os x and the actual creative suite, my question is another one.
    why can support all other NON-APPLE-applications spaces and why can CS4 not. this question is not answered in this thread.
    CS4 is the most expensive application on my mac and shows the worst compatibility of all applications.
    for me, CS4 is not a app, i use sometimes. i used it several hours every day.
    its no argument for me to say: we would not support the actual version of the operating system we develop for.

  • Compatibility with Mac OS Mountain Lion

    Does anyone know if Adobe has verified whether or not Dreamweaver CS3 (ver. 9.0) will be compatible with Mac OS 10.8 when it's released later this month?  The App Compatibility Table at RoaringApps says "not tested."  Adobe, are you testing?

    Highly unlikely that Adobe will test CS3 to support Mountain Lion. It's too old.
    If they get any attention at all, superceded versions (especially 3 versions old) will only receive essential bug and security fixes. But Adobe has retired CS3 long ago so don't get your expectations up even on that point.
    They're definitely testing CS6 to support Mountain Lion since it's the current version.
    PS are you aware that CS3 and CS4 owners have until 31 Dec 2012 to upgrade to CS6? After that date, CS3 and CS4 owners must pay full price for CS6.
