My external lcd monitor for my mac book screen wont turn on?

my external lcd monitor for my mac book screen wont turn on, it was working fine, I came home hooked up my laptop and the screens bounced back and forth a couple time.  I got an error message saying my dashboard client had crashed, screen went black on monitor.  Now when I plug it in my laptop doesent even recognize my external mac lcd monitor. It still charges the battery,  Any suggestions????

Hi, what still charges the battery?
Does the Laptop's internal screen still work?

  • What is the best external hard drive for the MAC Book Pro with Retina?

    What is the best external hard drive for the MAC Book Pro with Retina?
    I was looking at WD MY PASSPORT FOR MAC and Toshiba. I want something that will work best with time capsule! Suggestions on the best external hard drive would be greatly appreciated!!!

    A Time Machine backup drive should be substantially larger than the system drive.  If you have a 128 or 256 GB SSD then a 1 TB drive will suffice.  If you have a 512 GB SSD then a 2 TB drive will suffice.  As leroydouglas indicated any brand other than WD will do.
    For 1 TB drives PlotinusVeritas gives some great suggestions here:

    A 2 TB drive sold by Apple:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/H9378ZM/A/lacie-2tb-usb-30-porsche-design-p923 3-desktop-hard-drive
    $130
    A 2 TB drive just as good for only $92.

    Look at the Apple menu's, "About This Mac," and then press "More Info" button, to identify your Mac model beyond just, "MacBook Pro."
    example:

    Hello, we need more info on the iMac, not positive but I think it requires a 2010 or newer iMac & a Mini Display Port cable.
    So we know more about it...
    At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac, then click on More Info, then click on Hardware> and report this upto but not including the Serial#...

  • Hello, how would I go about using my time capsule as an external hard drive for my Mac book pro?

    Anybody know if I can use my time capsule as an external hard drive for Mac book pro?

    Just recognise the following.
    Store files on the TC.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/24380694#24380694
    This is asked several times a day.. obviously people are struggling with their latest SSD being too small.
    The TC is not suitable for network file server.. but many people having no choice press it into service as such.
    It cannot be partitioned. It was and is and ever shall be a backup device for Time Machine.
    Major issues.
    1. No backup.. no way Time Machine can backup a network drive. No place to backup to.. So all your files will be at risk. And you will need to buy a third party like CCC to do backup.
    2. The TC cannot be partitioned and mixing TM backups and data is not great.
    3. The drive is slow to spin up and quick to spin down.. there is no controls.
    4. iPhoto in particular can easily corrupt its entire library with wireless networking causing a disconnection to one photo. Even if you do this;;; do not move your photo library... you have been warned!!
    5. iTunes will constantly lose connection to the library. The disk is too slow to respond.. itunes on the computer will constantly spit out errors. Even in the midst of streaming the TC can spin down the disk due to caching.
    6. Do not use any live files on the TC no matter what else you do.. if you edit files in whatever program the file must be on the local hard disk.
    7. The only suitable location for most libraries is a computer. You can plug in an external hard disk.

  • External H/D for new Mac Book.

    I have ordered the new 13"Mac Book and am thinking of buying the Seagate 250GB FreeAgent Go Portable for Mac FW800/USB2.0. ref. ST902503FJD105-RK.
    Has any member had any experience with this product?

    Caldigit VR is my main external for my MBP. All sorts of connections, fast, QUIET. Expensive, but it's darn durable, and meant for video work. If you want cheaper, you can go with G-Raid by G-Tech.

  • HT1338 is there a way to use an iMac as a monitor for a Mac Book?

    It's very easy. You just need a Thunderbolt wire and then connect your MBP with your iMac. That's it.

  • Mac Booki Pro wont turn on, just endlessly tries to churn empty disk drive

    My 2007 November purchased Mac Book Pro now refuses to start up. Pressing the power button, on full battery and power adapter connected, causes the disk drive to give an operating noise - same as on normal startup - again and again. The machine gets stuck in this mode, disk trrying to do something until I stop it by pressing the start button long enough.
    I have tried the power management unit reset, by removing battery and adapter and pressing power button for 5 seconds. No difference.
    I have tried the forced disk eject by holding trackpad/mouse button depressed while starting up. In this mode the sound from teh disk drive is different, but the repeat continues and nothing happens.
    I have tried holding the cmd/opt/r/p buttons down on startup, makes no difference whatsoever.
    Any advice/ideas - or it it a repair service matter....
    Thanks

    When using file vault, every-time you go to restart or shut down it needs to recover disk space, which can take some time.

  • Can iMac be used as a monitor for a Mac Book

    My old boss used a white iMac, but my new boss got a MacBook because she works out of the office quite a bit. 
    But of course the MacBook has a much smaller display.
    Is there anyway to connect that big white monitor to her MacBook?

    Maybe someone else has a definitive answer, but as far as I know the white iMacs did not have that capability - only the newer models do. You might want to look up the specs on the white iMac on the Apple support pages and that should tell you what ports it had.

  • Mac Book Pro wont turn on after 3 wks on no use

    I last used my mac about 3 wks ago and did not shut down, just closed it with applications still open. The battery run out obviously and when I tried it this morning after connecting the power cable, it came on with all the applications open, but not responding. So I force quit all the different applications one by one, and then shut down. But when I started it up again, it would not open up - was very slow to open up my sign on page and respond to my password. So I shut down again and now I cant get past the apple log and the spinning gear, even in safe boot.
    Please help.

    When you press on the external battery level button, what happens?
    Try SMC and PRAM resets:

    • Only if your video camera supports it.  Depending on how your camera works, you may need to add preview software to your Mac to use this feature.
    • Alternatively, your camera may also be able to record directly into your Mac while you are monitoring the Mac's display.
    • If you are using a consumer camcorder that supports HDMI monitoring, a small HDTV might be an simpler solution than your Mac.  For an example of how this is done, see http://youtu.be/GVpSkZD6qE4.
    • The retailer who sold you your video camera may have other suggestions.
    • If you need more professional results, an external preview monitor will offer more capability on compatible cameras.
