  • Best stand for MacBook Pro and Apple LED Display

    I am buying a MacBook Pro and Apple LED Display tomorrow. I want to have a two display setup, similar to what I have seen in the Apple Store. I believe they used a Griffin Elevator. I want to make sure of two things: that the stand is sturdy enough so that my laptop won't slide off of it and that I can adjust the stand/monitor so that the tops are level (so that moving my mouse from the laptop to monitor and back is smooth - i.e. the cursor doesn't jump up or down.
    I like the fact that I can use this setup to go mobile very quickly, but what about my direct Ethernet connection. I wish there were a stand/dock such that I could hook everything up to it and then just undock the entire machine.

    How did you solve the problem of closing the Macbook Pro when it was connected to the display and preventing it from going to sleep?
    I am thinking about buying one. When I went to the local Apple Store the tech guys told me that it would be necessary to keep the laptop open slightly when connecting it to the display. They said it was something to do with cooling. It didn't sound right to me. I'm sure that Apple didn't solely intend for the Cinema Displays to be used by Mac Pro and Mac Mini users.
    There must be a simple way to "dock" or connect a Mac laptop (Macbook Pro or Macbook) to an Apple Cinema display or any other display with DVI input while keeping the laptop closed with an external keyboard and mouse connected and still be able to use the SuperDrive.
    I'm very curious about how you handled this.
    All the best for now,

  • Stand for MacBook Pro

    Is a stand necessary for the MacBook Pro when it is used extensively all day sitting flat on a table?
    Thanks for your information.

    I have had a stand from the beginning - nearly 12 months now - and it saves your hands and RSI and keeps laptop cool; however I found when I got a new printer it was too close to laptop and heat from printer made laptop hot us. I resited printer. Stand is in two pieces, clear acrylic so look good and is easy to assemble and undo if you want to take it with you. It's a Griffen elevator notebosok stand. I paid around £35.00 for it.
    Can also recommend Logitech cordless keyboard and mouse [as when the laptop is on stand it is not advisable to use its keyboard].
    Having this package makes life a lot easier.

  • Monitor adapter for macbook pro and dell monitor

    Hello,
    I have a MacBook Pro and a Dell monitor. The laptop has Mac OS X (Version 10.6.8). The model of the Dell monitor is a Dell E193FPp. I'd like to know what monitor adapter to get to be able to connect the 2 together. Anyone have any ideas?
    Any help would be great. If you need more info on either equipment to help answer, please let me know.
    Thanks in advance!

  • External monitor options For Macbook Pro(2011)

    Just curious as to what my monitor options are as a external monitor for the Macbook Pro.  I'm pretty much set on 27'' thunderbolt display but its a hefty price to swallow...
    Best buy has some good deals on there 27'' monitor but can i get the same resolution and clarity from other brands that will be eqivalent to Apple?
    I'd like to stay in the 27'' to 30'' size...
    thanks

    Any other options like Samsung, LG etc... that offer the same specs as the thunderbolt display? 
    Thanks

  • LapTop stand for MacBook Pro(R)

    What can I use if I am using MacBook Pro(R) on an ottoman most of the time? I am concerned it might not be good for keeping it cool. Also have a Tech21 snapcase on it.
    Have been looking at the iLap from RainDesign as an idea http://www.raindesigninc.com/ilap.html
    Thank you.

    you might damage your back on the long run by not using a "traditional" chair & table:
    I found a table even smaller than your ottoman : http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/10059165/
    if you really want the stand, it's a good model.

  • Good stand for Macbook pro 15"

    what do you mean by a stand? a keyboard stand kind of thing that goes on the floor? or a laptop stand that you can sit on a table?
    I use an icurve stand on my desk for my MBP, which is perfectly fine for putting the screen at eye level. I use a wireless keyboard and wireless mighty mouse, so for all intents and purposes, my MBP pretends to be a desktop machine. but, this kind of thing might be dicey for live use cos the MBP just sits on it, in a live concert environment it could maybe fall off, depending on how hardcore the mosh pit gets and how many stage divers you encounter.
    what about straps so you can hang it in front of you from your shoulders like an accordion?...
    ok maybe not. but I did see another brand of laptop stand thingy other than the icurve in a store once, that was made of metal and seemed quite ok. you could probably get something like this and then get a keyboard stand and put it on top of that. or, you could use a keyboard stand and get a plank of wood or some kind of table top to put on it, so you can put your MBP and mixer and whatever else on it.

  • It's some time the monitor of my MacBook Pro presents dark zones at the bottom. I suppose it depends on the lamps. Do you confirm? Is there anything I should do before calling for assistance?

    I agree with Carolyn. If that doesn't show anything, Apple has more comprehensive tests. Call an Apple Store and make an appointment with the "genius" bar (free). I don't think an SMCReset is going to help in this situation, but if it was my Mac, I'd try it: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

  • I connected an external monitor to my MacBook Pro, but it doesn't open any programs. It Just sits there with a blank screen.  How do I get it to open programs and act like a monitor?

    Dear Jean:
    It sounds like you are trying to get your external monitor to act as the primary viewing screen. For example it would have your Doc, Icons, Etc. In order to make the external monitor the primary screen you have to:
    Open System Preferences.
    Choose the Displays Icon
    There will be several tabs to choose from pick Arrangement
    Drag the toolbar to desired display
    Let me know if this helps at all!

  • Does anyone know How to run twin monitors on a MacBook Pro operating on a Windows Server 2008 R2 ?

    Hi
    Does anyone know How to run twin monitors on a MacBook Pro operating on a Windows Server 2008 R2 ?

    I know this doesn't help you much, but, I think you have to see if your Mac pro does audio out via HDMI. I don't even know if mine does via DVI. I think it may have to do with the adapter. Try going into Audio MIDI and setting the digital out to multichannel
    and using the toslink cable for now. Lemme see...apparently DVI does not carry audio at all. Hm. apparently monoprice could be helpful?  If I understand what you're saying correctly: you want to take DVI and multichannel audio via the Toslink and have it all go out over HDMI, right? Whooo..... amazon...looks like it's about $100http://www.amazon.com/Audio-SPDIF-Toslink-Converter-Adapter/dp/B0015YYOQQ
    just a shot in the dark
    I'm probably wrong....or not

  • How do i connect three external monitors to a macbook pro?

    How do I connect three extrenal monitors to my Macbook Pro?

    I have a USB to DVI adapter from kensington. I use to use it to power at 14" display.Moving windows around had some tearing and lag. Typing lagged, but it was use-able. It was fine for displaying diffrent stats. The OS treated it as it would any additional display.
    But I found it undesirable for any thing tha requires lots dragging and clicking.
    Every so often the device would lock up. At witch point the computer would get stuck trying to detect the USB display. I would have to unplug the adapter, cycle the power on the adapter. And then it would be good for a couple more months.
    Also some times after a reboot, the adapter would stop working. I would have to unplug it, and login, and then plug it back in.
    Coping file to my USB 2 harddrive seemed to cause more lag to the USB to Video Adapter.

  • How do I connect two monitors to my macbook pro?

    How do I connect two monitors to my macbook pro?  This question applies to both DVI and VGA, as I might have to work with multiple sets of monitors.

    The MacBookPro only has enough horsepower in the video card for one external monitor.
    If you want two or more, you need a MacPro.
    Or a MacBook Pro and a Remote Desktop controlled MacMini.

  • Dual External Monitors with 15" MacBook Pro (Late 2011)

    I'm looking for suggestions for using dual external monitors with new MacBook Pro's.  The company I work for has started to puchase these for certain employees and we are looking for any good suggestions.
    It appears that the display/thunderbolt port should be able to support many devices but I have not seen any way to hook up multiple displays.  The idea is that these employees would be working with the macbook pro screen closed while in the office and use dual displays.  The only option that I can find is to use a usb device to output video to a second display.  I don't really like that because my experience with these devices is that they usally present a display lag and I know our graphic designers would never go for that.
    One employee suggested that he use the VGA adapter and then get a VGA splitter.  I'm not exacty certain that would work though. Wouldn't that just mirror the display on two screens instead of allowing an extended desktop?  Also it looks like expensive Apple displays have ports so that you can daisy chain thunderbolt devices out of those monitors but this company will not go for the cost of those displays.
    Am I missing anything?  Any suggestions would be helpful.
    Thanks!

    Look into the Matrox Dualhead2Go DP Edition. If it works with Thunderbolt Macs, it will support two identical 1920 x 1080 DVI monitors as one extended desktop. Verify with Matrox that it is Thunderbolt-compatible and will suit your purposes before ordering.

  • I want to use my old iMac G3 as second monitor to my MacBook Pro, how?

    I want to use my old iMac G3 as second monitor to my MacBook Pro, how?
    Thanks!

    You can't really do it in any normal way; that is, using the MacBook's video output port.
    You can use this program
    http://www.screenrecycler.com/home.html
    to make your iMac screen act as a second display, over a network connection. ScreenRecycler runs on your MacBook and creates a virtual second display. It uses the open-source VNC (screen sharing) protocol to serve that second display over the local network. You then run a VNC client program (usually free) on the iMac G3 and display the MacBooks virtual second screen in a window, which you can display full screen. Your iMac then appears to be the MacBook's second screen. You use System Preferences Displays pane to set it up, as you would a real second display.
    How well this works depends on your iMac's speed, what Mac OS version it runs, and the speed of the network connection. If you connect the two directly with an Ethernet cable (Cat-5 or better), the network speed should be decently fast (at 100Base-T). If your iMac G3 has Tiger (10.4), you can use this program as the VNC client
    http://www.jinx.de/JollysFastVNC.html
    (there are free VNC clients for 10.3 and earlier)
    However, this solution will never be as fast (in terms of screen refresh rate) as a real display using a real video connection. But you can try it at no cost, to see if it meets your needs.
