MULTIPLE DISPLAYS with Tecra A11

We are upgrading our classrooms with laptops & smart boards. We have purchased the Tecra A11 laptop with the PA3680U port replicator and the D19W12B monitor. To utilize the smart board (ENO) we have a VGA splitter. When connected conventionally (we think) to the DOCK - the display is available on the board OR the external monitor - not both. We do not want to EXTEND the display, we desire to duplicate the display and close the laptop.
Perhaps we should attach the splitter to the VGA port on the laptop instead of the dock?
Any assistance is appreciated.

How do you use multiple displays with a MacBook Pro and iMac

I have an iMac and a MacbookPro laptop both upgraded to OS X 10.9 (Mavericks). I'd like to use multiple displays with them. Can I do this without an Apple TV? They are both on the same network. If I can, can someone please give some instructions on how this can be done?
Thanks!

Both computers have ports for external monitors. Check your user manuals. Only one display can be added to the MBP, but newer iMacs have dual Thunderbolt ports.
Do your own Google research to learn what to do, but reading your manuals should be all you really need. It' not rocket science yet.

Multiple displays with different resolutions

The system is setup with two non-mirrored displays with the following resolutions: A) 1024x768 and B) 1280x1024 arranged as BA with A the menu'd display using an ATI 9000 Pro for Mac. During startup, approximately once inch worth of the menu's right items momentarily appear on the right side of display B 768 pixels down from the top. This problem only occurs in this BA configuration of differing resolutions and is independent of graphics cards (substituted the 9000 Pro with a mirror only AGP Navidia card and a mirror only PCI ATI Rage card combination which gave the same result). This problem first appeared using MacOS 10.3 which displayed several inches of menu instead of only an inch under MacOS 10.4. Anyone else seen this problem?
Dual 800 MHz QuickSilver Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Over the weekend, I explained this problem to one of the Apple Geniuses at an Apple store and then was able to duplicate the issue using a lap top and attached monitor in the store (not the same resolutions as my system; but, screens of similarly different resolutions). I raise this issue again because, as of late, additional things have been happening and I wonder if these are related to the core issue of an expanded desktop with two different screen resolutions. All of the widgets on the larger resolution screen desktop are drawing in the menu located in the smaller resolution screen when hitting the "i" to gain access to its control panel; however, not effecting the menu at all when moved to the smaller resolution screen. The other has to do with screen savers periodically blanking both monitors (as though the graphics card went to sleep) or having both monitors lose syncing (first occurrence today) where a cold start is required to bring the monitors on line again (I am going to have to figure out a way to test if the system is actually sleeping or the monitors have only gone blank before cold starting the system).

T530 multiple displays with dock

I've got a new T530 Lenovo ThinkPad, with a Mini Dock Series 3. I've found spec's online that explicetly state that this combination supports two external monitors from any two of the multiple video ports on the dock. I've attached monitors to the VGA and DVI outputs, but only one of them will work at a time.
I've verified that I have the latest BIOS update.
I've found numerous posts in the forums with similar problems, but so far I haven't found any with a definite solution.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

The Intel HD 4000 should in most cases support 3 displays. Here is a link for the Intel side of your issue http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/intelhdgraphics4000_2500/sb/CS-033714.htm
I can't answer to any limitations imposed by Lenovo hardware or configurations.

Multiple displays with 15"and 19"monitor using a VGA splitter on my Mac Pro

Hi, so I have a brand spanking new Mac Pro and have been using a cheap, basic 15" monitor with it. As I'm doing lots of Edit/graphics work I've just purchased a new monitor, it's a 19" Acer flatscreen. Now I'm hoping to work the same display across both monitors, so I can set up my preview window on the 15" and do my work on the 19" screen.
The Mac has two DVI output sockets in the back, both monitors are VGA but I only have one DVI to VGA adaptor. Though I do have a VGA splitter! So I've tried going from one DVI socket to VGA, then put the splitter into that and then each monitor into each split socket, if that makes sense? I now have the same display on each screen i.e. while I'm typing this I'm looking at it twice but I want to see it once over two screens, how do I adjust this, there's no option in display settings?
Is it simply that I need to buy another DVI to VGA adaptor and use the other port? Just looking to save myself a tenner, that's all!
Thanks!
Alex

Yep, you're right! Thanks, working now, very useful.

Multiple Displays With Single Mini Display Port

I have a 2010 MacBook Pro running Mavericks. I already have a display running from a miniport-to-hdmi adaptor which works great but I'm thinking of adding an additional monitor to the setup.
Is it just as simple as using an hdmi splitter and plugging in the second display or is there something else I need to do?
Thanks, Dan

Dan,
for a Mid 2010 model, you’ll need to use something like the Matrox DualHead2Go Digital Mac Edition multi-display adapter with a DVI-to-HDMI adapter to connect your current display. If your current display or your second display has a DVI input port, then no additional adapter would be needed.

Using Headphone Jack with Multiple Displays with Mavericks

I recently installed Mavericks on a 2011 Mac Mini (previously was running 10.6.8); the Mac Mini is connected via HDMI to my HDTV in my living room and connected via mini display to HDMI to a second HDTV in my basement. I am running an extended USB cable to the basement to have a keyboard/mouse at each HDTV (living room is using a Bluetooth keyboard/trackpad).
After I installed Mavericks, I was immediatley having problems with my monitors. Each monitor showed up in my audio settings, but for some reason, I could not select the living room HDTV for sound, it just bounced off the HDTV name and went to another selection. After analyzing it for a while, I determined that when I had a line into my headphone jack, I could not select that living room monitor. As soon as I removed that line, I could select it (as an fyi, the other HDTV in the basement worked fine for sound with the headphone jack being used). I would prefer to be able to use the headphone jack as I have that plugged into my home theater system to play sound through my sound system.
Also, whenever I reboot my Mac Mini, my extended cable USB keyboard/mouse becomes unusuable and I have to unplug the keyboard & mouse and plug them back in for them to work and recognize the keyboard/mouse. The USB maintains power as I plugged my iPhone into it and got a charge after a reboot of my Mac Mini, it just doesn't automatically pickup the keyboard/mouse. Everything worked perfectly in 10.6.8, so any solution(s) would be welcomed so I don't have to go back to that OS.
Thanks.

Actually, there is an adapter that will do exactly what you want:

If you read one guy's experience, he says:
"I can even use it to connect to the auxiliary jack of my car stereo so the call goes through the car speakers and I use the adapter's microphone to speak. "
So this ought to do ya. (And, of course, the iPhone music will indeed pause when the call comes in -- this happens even if you are using "normal" headphones).

Multiple displays with an Intel Macbook Pro

Hi,
I've searching a lot, and I haven't find a way for having an external LCD display plugged to my Intel Mac Book Pro without buying Matrox DualHead2Go.
I bought and adapter that I use with a projector when I'm in a meeting (VGA to Mini-DVI I think...), but when I use the LCD monitor with this adapter it's simply not recognized. Is this a software or hardware problem?
I'm using Snow Leopard 10.6 and I'm wandering if there's a solution for this or if it will be possible until Lion Update...
Thanks in advance

Since the BT Home hub is acting as a router, all you should have to do is enable Personal File Sharing in the Sharing preference pane. See KB 106461, Mac OS X: About File Sharing for details.

Multiple displays with MB Air

can I run 2 VGA displays from my MB Air late model. At work I use two monitors. They are both 21" Dell VGA types. Can I drive two monitors from a single MB Air and if so how? What adapters do I need to buy?

To connect an external display you need to get a thunderbolt to hdmi adapter. You can find these in the store or at a local electronics outlet that carrys mac stuff. Also for the other monitor you might be able to use an external usb video card. They are all kinda jenky IMOO and I am unsure if they work with OS X but I would assume they would work fine. This is considering that the backend of the display server is Xorg and it supports many many displays. Its more of a hardware limitation on the air.

Using a second monitor as the primary display with MiniDisplayPort

I've got a new iMac, but the screen seems to be straining my eyes. I'm trying things like scaling the display, lowering brightness, changing desktop layout, etc, but if all else fails...I'd like to go back to my old external monitor.
So, my question is...if I connected this monitor to the MiniDisplayPort on the iMac, could I use it as a single primary display, or would I have to use it as mirrored or secondary?

Hi Brian,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. You can mirror the displays or make whichever display you want the primary in Extended Desktop mode. See this article for details:
How to use multiple displays with your Mac
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5019
The white bar at the top of the left blue box represents the menu bar and determines which display is your primary display. To change your primary display, click the white bar and drag and drop it on the blue box representing the display you would prefer to be your primary display.

Tecra A11 - LED backlight issue

I have big pain in my eyes after day of work with Tecra A11 BIOS V1.7 = newest BIOS update. Wenn I bought it there was BIOS 1.4 the same problem with eyes, LED backlight killing my eyes, big pain after day of work. V1.5 and 1.6 are much better (no pain) but new BIOS 1.7 is the same eye-killer as 1.4.
Who is going to help me? Users of this forum?
I want Toshiba people to help me, they sell 1/2 ready product, absolutely bad work! No contacts to Toshiba just this user forum. Is Toshiba interested in my problem with his bad Tecra A11 notebook and stupid BIOS updates? I am really angry, never had such problems with so expensive notebook. So excuse my emoutions I start to hate Toshiba for the extremly bad experience with this Tecra A11. Why should some users of this forum help me? I paid a lot of money to Toshiba, so I want Toshiba people to tell me what they do in their BIOS updates, what stupidity kill my eyes with LCD backlight. How many BIOS updates will be needed to make Tecra A11 working properly for 800 EUR? I will never more buy something from Toshiba.

Thanks Xardas,
One week and we have BIOS Update 1.9 !! = aproximately one update a week. On one side very nice to see that Toshiba takes care of the problems. On other hand why are so many updates needed? Was this Tecra A11 is sold as final product with 1/2 unfunctional BIOS? Wenn I bougt it I had BIOS 1.4 and I tell you there were mistakes even when you went through the menu, so if someone tested it in Toshiba he could see it. So I have really feeling that Toshiba didnot test BIOS properly. That is maybe why they need to update BIOS so oft. They use users as testers, what is for some rare problems OK, but not for common bugs!
Why does not Toshiba describe what exactly is updated in new BIOS version? Where can I find this information, e.g. what is changed between BIOS 1.6 and 1.7 and so on.? I need this information because I really do not know what is going to happen if I update to 1.9 now. I do not want to spend another day with playing with bios, and in worst case to kill my eyes with bug in LED Backlight. So where can I find what is new in BIOS 1.9 ?
My LED Backlighting problem is in BIOS 1.4 and 1.7. You cannot see that something is happening, but after day of work (8 hours) I cannot look at Tecra A11 monitor any more, because of pain iu my eyes. I thing this happens because LEDs in Backlight are too strong and maybe Toshiba uses some kind of pulse modulation to control LED brightnes. So you see brightnees is low (no strong), but in reality maybe you get a strong flasshing LED light into your eyes whitout brain sense for it. So you see normal backlight, but mayby you become very short time strong impulses of LED full intensity into your eyes what you do not notice, only as pain after many hours. This is my explanaition but I didnot measured it. Toshiba sold notebook with Bios 1.4 and immediately updated to 1.5 where this problem was solved. Thats why I was thinking that they know about this problem and they just solved it for ever. But in V1.7 problem ware back, and my eyes took 2 days to recover from pain. So it is really angry bug and I do not know if to stay by Bios 1.6 or to try update to 1.9. I want Toshiba to describe what is going on in BIOS updates.
Maybe this is problem of only my notebook so I will try to contact authoorized service provider, but I would be really positively suprised if they know what to do with it. We will see. But please if you know, answer me where is information what is new in BIOS Updates from Toshiba. Thanks

Trouble arranging monitor display with 2 monitors and a projector

I just installed Yosemite (it's pretty awesome) and I am having a little trouble with screen arrangement. I think it has something to do with each display now having it's own menu bar. But what do I know?
I have an iMac, a second monitor and a LCD projector. I was sort of navigating out the top of second monitor to get to projection screen. And the way back to screen one was tricky. I was running the dvd player and it lost picture and I had to get to my iMac and fiddle around and then move dvd app back to projection window again. I'm sure there is a better way to handle this.
My lcd projector looks way better now. Very happy about that.

Which Mac Pro/graphics card(s)?
If the new 2013 then:
Mac Pro (Late 2013): Using multiple displays
With OSX 10,9,3 you have a max of two with HDMI, VGA or DVI monitor inputs. 10.9.2 and earlier allowed more. You can add Thunderbold and display port/mini display more monitors to those two
